Jingning County, South Gate.
At dusk, there are not many business travelers entering and leaving the south gate.
There were two soldiers guarding the city standing on both sides of the city gate, and a lone man stood outside the city gate.
This man was about forty years old, with a thin face and wearing a shabby official uniform.
He is Lord Liuxia Yinliu, the magistrate of Jingning County.
The regent's entry into Jiangbei was obviously a big deal.
Originally, the regent was supposed to be the prefect of Jiangbei Prefecture, Mr. Chang. However, just two days ago, news came from the state capital that Mr. Chang had been arrested by people from the Imperial City Division.
Not only Master Chang, but almost all the officials in the state were sent to prison by the Imperial City Secretary!
In the officialdom of Jiangnan Province, few officials seemed to have survived this great change.
But Liu Xiayin was not worried about herself.
Because those officials who were sent to prison were, without exception, corrupt officials.
He Liu Xia Yin is not.
He has been the magistrate of Jingning County for ten years and has passed a lot of money, but he has never been greedy for a single penny!
Not all scholars become officials just for money!
After all, there are still some things that are for the ideal in your heart.
He was a Jinshi in the 10th year of Zhaohua. He had to wait four years before he was given such a vacancy——
It’s not a fat position!
Jingning County is the most remote and poorest county in Jiangnan Road!
Even if you scrape the ground three feet, you won't be able to scrape out much oil or water.
No one wants to be an official here.
The officials sent him here.
He came here without any complaints.
He had stayed in this miserable place for ten years, and probably no one among the high-ranking officials in Jiangnan Province would remember him as a small county magistrate.
No one pushed him.
No one paid attention to him.
Very few people even know that Jingning County has quietly undergone tremendous changes in the past ten years.
It is simply impossible to promote that.
He no longer had this idea.
He thought it would be nice to just stay here.
As he said when he and Su Yian were having a drink and chatting, being poor has the joy of being poor, and being rich has the worries of being rich.
The food and drink are very fragrant.
The huts are spacious and the dreams are sweet.
Now look, those who were once arrogant, high-profile, and arrogant, who rode on the heads of the people and lorded it over others, ended up not just in vain.
If they fall into the hands of the Imperial City Secretary, they may even lose their lives.
It will also harm the family and even the nine tribes!
Liu Xiayin sighed slightly and shook his head, "Time is also destiny, who can say clearly?"
"Who could have expected this day!"
"This regent...could he be a rare enlightened master?"
What he was originally worried about was that Jingning County was getting richer and richer, and his position as county magistrate would come to an end.
Because Jingning County now has a little oil and water, it's time for someone to pick peaches.
If such a day comes, he will resign.
Like Mr. Su, it would be good to become a tutor in a private school.
Looking at the sunset on the horizon, Liu Xiayin put his hands in his sleeves.
He did not bring the officials from three shifts and six houses, not because he looked down upon the regent, but because spring plowing was about to begin, and those officials were sent to various towns below.
He should have gone too.
But Master Jiang still dissuaded him.
In Master Jiang's view, what the regent did in Jiangnan Road was not to attack dissidents, but he seemed to be really trying to rectify the officialdom of Jiangnan Road——
Treating it from the root!
This may be hope!
This hope refers to the fact that upright officials like him, Liu Xiayin, might have a future.
But Liu Xiayin laughed it off.
He stayed, after all, he was still somewhat curious about the young regent.
But I didn’t expect much.
He still hoped that the regent would leave early tomorrow morning!
There is still much to do!
I don't have enough time to spend with him.
He didn't like such things as acting on occasion.
It doesn't matter whether the official is qualified or not.
But now that we are still here, we have to think more and do more for the people under our rule.
Although the civil strife in Jiangnan Province is temporarily over, the devastation caused by Ningguo for twenty years is extremely difficult to repair... It is estimated that taxes will be increased again, hey... the crops in the fields will not be able to bear the increase in taxes!
When is the end?
When will the common people have enough to eat?
As for the regent who beat up a guy from Jiangnan Dao, and as for the master, the regent is afraid that he really wants to rectify the officialdom...
Liu Xiayin just smiled.
In his view, being an emperor and a courtier are just for the people of the world to see.
And then?
In exchange for a group of officials he appointed, they continued to make money in their respective official positions. The fatters were another group of officials, but the original people were still the sufferers!
I'm afraid these newly appointed officials will be more ruthless!
When will this end?
Su Yian said that throughout history, this matter has no end at all!
If there are sheep in the mountains, there will be wolves.
Fatten a group of wolves, kill them, and release a group of wolves with green eyes...it will always be the sheep that are unlucky!
Just when Liu Xiayin was feeling melancholy, he saw the group of pretty girls coming towards him...
He was suddenly surprised, thinking that the regent might be a wise master.
Mingzhu is a piece of shit!
This regent is not a good person either!
When the emperor goes on tour, he won't bring many concubines with him in the harem. This guy... his thoughts are all about women!
horrible!
After overthrowing a powerful Jitai, Ningguo welcomed another lustful regent!
News came from the south of the Yangtze River saying how great the regent was, how wise and mighty he was...it was all bullshit!
It's just a common practice in officialdom to build momentum for fame!
Birds of a feather!
After all, the former Prime Minister Ji was still in his seventies and eighty years old, and he would not live for many years after all.
But this regent is said to be only eighteen years old... When he lives to be eighty, how many girls will he be harmed by?
Just when Liu Xia was secretly complaining, the group of girls in red had already arrived in front of him.
Ning Chuchu didn't know that this man who was wearing patches and no longer wearing official uniform could be the county magistrate here.
She didn't even know that there would be such a county magistrate greeting Li Chenan here alone!
Therefore, she directly ignored Liu Xiayin and just passed Liu Xiayin with the Detachment of Women!
Liu Xiayin didn't know that there was Ning Chuchu, the fourth princess of Ning Kingdom, among these girls in red. He still put his hands in his sleeves, thought about it, and did not stop them.
Then, he saw a little black donkey - according to the news from Jiangnan, the regent was riding on a donkey.
His eyes did not fall on the little black donkey, but on the back of the little black donkey——
His eyes suddenly widened again!
damned!
In broad daylight!
He was a majestic regent, riding on the back of a donkey and holding a girl in his arms!
The world is in decline!
The world is in decline!
Is this still the regent?
This, this is obviously a little thief!
Li Chenan didn't know that there would be such a county magistrate waiting for him at the gate of the city.
One donkey and two people just walked past Liu Xiayin.
He hugged Xiao Baozi and moved his hand up two inches.
Liu Xiayin's eyes almost popped out. He looked at it in disbelief, and then heard half of Li Chenan's whispered words:
"A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold..."
He didn't hear what Li Chenan said later——
"The flowers have fragrance and the moon has yin."
He looked at Li Chenan's back, beating his chest and stamping his feet, crying loudly, and then Wang Zhenghaoxuan and others passed by him.
"Senior brother, look at this guy, he's so strange."
"You said he cried so sadly, was it because of love... or because of hatred?"
Amu sighed for three breaths, "Yinqing!"
"Why?"
"Because if you have hatred, you won't cry."
"If you have hatred, you will only pick up a knife and kill people!"
"…Looks quite old."
Amu muttered for three more breaths: "The wounds of love are irrespective of age."
