"Zhang Dong, what are you going to do to compensate for my disciple's life?"
As soon as the old man in Confucian robes said these words, the entire county government hall fell into silence.
You can hear the needle drop.
There are veins popping out on Zhang Dong's forehead. He is a seventh-grade county magistrate. Even if his cultivation is not as good as that of a fifth-grade master in the academy, he still has an official status granted by the imperial court.
It's the life official.
As for the old man in Confucian robes, no matter how high he is in the fifth rank, he is not a disciple of the Holy Academy and is not qualified to give advice to the imperial officials.
Zhang Dong stared at the old man in Confucian robes coldly and said in a deep voice: "Watch your words!"
Lin Yi raised his eyes, looked deeply at Zhang Dong, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This is the character of court officials.
What about the Academy Master?
Yelling and screaming in the county government office, forcing the court officials to demand compensation, and violating the law with words and regulations are simply treasonous.
Report to the imperial court.
This old man in Confucian robes will inevitably be punished by the Holy Court.
"oh?"
The old man in Confucian robes was obviously a little surprised. He looked at Zhang Dong coldly and said, "I, a disciple of Qingping Academy, died in your Lindong County. Could it be that... I can't hold him accountable?"
"It's okay to hold people accountable, but I also said, pay attention to your words and attitude. No matter how bad I am, I will still be an official of the imperial court!"
Uh-huh!
Zhang Dong sat directly on the magistrate's chair and stared down at the old man in Confucian robes.
A big wave of his hand.
"Who is here? Tell me your name!"
Zhang Dong stared at the old man in Confucian robes, his official aura was ups and downs, and a calm and authoritative temperament emerged.
Li Wenbo looked excited and whispered to Lin Yi: "Sir, can this old man of ours be okay? He has very strong bones and a big temper, so we said at the beginning... that he is suitable for joining the imperial court as an official!"
"If you are courageous, capable, and willing to do things, what does it mean to have a bad temper?"
Lin Yi actually admired Zhang Dong's character.
No wonder the other party would immediately persuade him to run away after learning that he was in the ninth-grade enlightenment realm.
This is Zhang Dong's character.
"Zhang Dong, you..."
The old man in Confucian robes was almost furious, his face turned red, and he glared at Zhang Dong.
But he couldn't say a word.
County Lieutenant Li Si felt particularly relieved. As a martial artist, he had never been afraid of anyone, but he was really afraid of the County Magistrate.
"Master, don't get angry with this kind of person!"
The young man next to the old man in Confucian robes glanced at Li Wenbo and whispered: "The people from Pingzhou Academy are also here. The one who came is Li Wenbo, who was Jieyuan a few years ago. With the strength of this demon, Master will not take action in this case." It can't be broken, and when the time comes...to report to the imperial court, the black gauze hat on the head of this building will be gone!"
The old man in Confucian robes glanced at Li Wenbo, and most of his anger disappeared.
He looked up at Zhang Dong and said indifferently: "I am Pu Guochang, Master of Qingping Academy..."
"Puch!"
Lin Yi couldn't help laughing.
Ever visited a prostitute?
This is a really good name, so talented!
"kindness?"
Pu Guochang turned to look at Lin Yi, and immediately became furious and said: "Who are you? A little book boy in the ninth level of enlightenment, what qualifications do you have to laugh here?"
Pu Guochang's pressure from the Five Characters of Virtue was directed towards him.
But Lin Yi didn't seem to feel anything.
Park Guochang: "???"
He frowned. The pressure of the fifth-grade moral realm could not make a ninth-grade man kneel down.
He pressed again.
Lin Yi remained unmoved.
But this time.
Lin Yi had already noticed what Pu Guochang was doing and asked doubtfully: "Mr. Pu, are you constipated? If you use such force, do you want to see the doctor?"
"Hahaha!"
Li Wenbo couldn't help laughing loudly.
Others in the county government hall were stunned at first, and then they couldn't help but laugh.
"A scholar's mouth is a murderer's knife!" Li Si muttered in his heart.
Zhao Zhongcheng on the side gave a rare smile and glanced at Lin Yi a few more times.
"This Lin Yi should have cultural treasures on his body, but he is not affected by the coercion!"
Zhang Dong secretly speculated, and at the same time he couldn't help but glance at Lin Yi and said to himself: "Although he is an illegitimate child, he still has some courage!"
"you you you……"
Mr. Pu was so angry that he was trembling all over. He couldn't hold back his anger and was on the verge of going berserk.
He had never been humiliated like this before.
This guy is so brave!
"Master Pu, why bother with a junior?"
Seeing this, Zhang Dong hurriedly said: "Since people from Qingping Academy and Pingzhou Academy are here, the top priority is to find out the demonic path lurking in the city!"
"Master Li, please file..."
"No need!"
Pu Fuzi stood up and said in a deep voice: "To hunt down demons, do you still need to read the files? Then isn't it a joke for me, the fifth grade of the academy?"
Said.
Master Pu did not forget to look at Lin Yi and Li Wenbo and sneered: "Besides, I don't even bother talking about cooperation with two young boys!"
"Walk!"
Pu Fuzi flicked his sleeves and left the county government hall.
The two bachelors behind him quickly followed.
…
boom!
"What the hell, the academy master is so great?"
Zhang Dong slapped the table angrily, and in his excitement, he couldn't help but said: "Don't let me catch you college students causing trouble in the world. At that time, I will never give you mercy!"
It was only then that Zhang Dong calmed down.
Then he looked at Li Wenbo and said, "Wenbo, let's go have a drink. When I get back, I'll ask the county lieutenant to send the files to your room!"
As he spoke, Zhang Dong turned to look at Zhao Zhongcheng and said, "Xiao Zhao, arrange two rooms in the county government office for Lin Yi and Wenbo!"
"Yes, sir!"
Zhao Zhongcheng nodded and waited aside.
"Brother Zhang is interested!"
Li Wenbo nodded and looked at Lin Yidao: "Master, let's go have a drink together. I got hungry along the way. Let's have a full meal so that we can work!"
Lin Yidao: "You go have a few more drinks with Mr. Zhang, and I'll go to the room and read a book!"
"this……"
Li Wenbo hesitated.
Zhang Dong patted Li Wenbo on the shoulder and said: "You, a book boy, can you even disobey your master? Let's go, let's go, we haven't seen each other for a few years, we have to talk enough, and the people in the Yamen can be sent to you as you like!" "
Li Wenbo looked at Lin Yi and said, "Master, shall we go then?"
"Go!"
Lin Yi smiled and nodded.
Li Wenbo then followed Zhang Dong to the backyard of the Yamen. County Lieutenant Li Si and Master Song Fugui quickly followed him.
"Scholar Lin!"
At this moment, Zhao Zhongcheng, who was holding the file, walked up to Lin Yi, saluted and said: "There are many empty rooms in the Yamen, come with me!"
"Thank you!"
Lin Yi returned the greeting and followed Zhao Zhongcheng.
"correct!"
Lin Yi asked: "You are a scholar, why are you not in the academy but in the county government? And you don't seem to have an official status..."
In Lin Yi's understanding, a scholar with a literary heart can either become an official in the imperial court and benefit the people of a country.
Either join the Holy Academy, study the arts, gain great strength, slay demons, and stabilize the country.
Someone like Zhao Zhongcheng, who was not weak in cultivation, chose to be a small official in the yamen without an official status.
Very rare.
Zhao Zhongcheng was stunned for a moment, and then murmured: "She is dead. Studying and practicing cultivation have no meaning to me anymore. If I find a job in the Yamen, I will forget to miss her when I get busy!"
(If you want to urge updates and give five-star reviews, besides...can you guess why I want to highlight the character Zhao Zhongcheng? He is very important!)
