"hey-hey!"

"Hey hey hey!"

Zhou Yi held in his hand a letter sent by Yang Xiu Bai Sheng and others from Jing'an City, the capital of Yongzhou. After reading it, he kept giggling.

"What on earth could make the magistrate so happy?"

Qinan, who was assigned to serve Zhou Yi, looked at the appearance of the county magistrate. At this moment, Qinan was as confused as a monk two feet tall who was confused.

The reason why Zhou Yi is so happy is that he got a good news - that is, Zhou Yi's enemy Ye Guangming, the old boy, and a group of Yongzhou senior officials headed by Yan Song all died suddenly in Lichun Courtyard of Jing'an City.

What else could be the reason why Ye Guangming and other corrupt officials died suddenly? It was naturally because "Li Feiyu" sent the rice with added ingredients to the Ye family in Pingjiang County.

Ye Guangming had also eaten the refined grain rice purchased by the Ye family from Bai Sheng before, and after tasting it, it left a lasting impression on his mouth.

Ye Guangming, who believed that he was superior to others, should eat this high-quality refined grain, so he wrote a letter to Ye Wuhua, the head of the Ye family, asking him to send more of this refined grain rice.

The head of the Ye family couldn't bear to eat the refined rice, so he ordered his men to send all the rice contaminated with paraquat by Zhou Yi to the pride of their Ye family, Ye Guangming.

After Ye Guangming received the refined grain rice from the Ye family in Pingjiang County, he immediately invited high-ranking Yongzhou officials and corrupt officials from Yan Song's lineage to a seven-day and seven-night rice feast at the Lichun Courtyard in Jing'an City.

Outside the city, mourners are everywhere and people are dying of hunger. In the city, there are fragrant winds, drunken rain, and music day and night. This is the so-called wealthy family, where wine and meat are smelly, and bones are frozen to death on the road.

It has to be said that city people know how to play. If Zhou Yi were here, he would probably lament that he is a country bumpkin.

Because at Ye Guangming's rice feast, Zhou Yi, a modern person who prides himself on being well-informed, has never seen all the strange dishes made with rice.

If you say that after eating pickles and rolling tofu, the emperor is not as good as me, this is just a self-pleasure of a country bumpkin who has never seen the world.

Then Ye Guangming and his group of corrupt officials had a feast of rice and rice. It was really possible that the emperor and I were not as good as him.

In addition, Ye Guangming and the others even arranged for the young and beautiful Yao Sister of Li Chun Yuan to serve naked as a plate for rice and rice.

On the seventh day of Mi Bai's banquet, Ye Guangming was about to take a bite of a delicacy in front of the twin peaks of a beautiful lady, when suddenly he spit out a mouthful of black blood.

All of a sudden, the group of corrupt officials in the Li Chun Courtyard who were strictly affiliated with the party were shocked and turned into a mess.

But soon, like Ye Guangming, these people began to vomit black blood from the mouth one by one, and fell limply on the ground due to weakness.

Paraquat is such a poison that modern high-tech society has no cure.

These corrupt officials who colluded with Ye Guangming to bring disaster to the people spent these seven days playing poker and fighting landlords.

By the time he vomited out black blood, the poisonous gas had already hit his heart.

When Ye Guangming was dying, he just stared at Sister Yiyao's Shuangfeng unwillingly, cursed with his last breath of strength, "This milk is poisonous!" and then drove away.

After reading this letter, Zhou Yi laughed again and thought to himself: "Ye Guangming, Ye Guangming, don't worry, the milk is so delicious!"

Although the news that Ye Guangming was poisoned brought Zhou Yi some fun and pleasure.

But Zhou Yi also knew that the officialdom of Yongzhou was about to experience a major earthquake.

Yan Song, who had so many cronies die in Yongzhou all at once, would definitely not let it go.

Just as Zhou Yi had guessed, in the Huangji Palace in Hanyang City, the capital of Chen State, even the emperor, who had always been mediocre and lustful, was furious that Yongzhou had poisoned more than a dozen officials at once.

After the news that Ye Guangming and his party were poisoned to death in Lichun Court was learned by Qingliu, led by Taishi Wen Boyue, the Taishi and his party immediately seized the opportunity to criticize Yan Song's party members.

He reported to the emperor the complete situation of the severe drought in Yongzhou and the people's displacement and loss of food.

In order to get rid of themselves, Yan Song's gang of traitors directly dumped all the blame on the dead Ye Guangming and his group, and expressed their regret for the suffering of the people in Yongzhou due to the drought. Nothing.

In order to win people's hearts, Yan Song and his gang even pretended to be considerate of the people and asked the mediocre emperor to exempt the people of Yongzhou's 21 counties from taxes for one year.

Naturally, the Qingliu officials headed by Grand Master Wen Boyue would not object to this act that could reduce the burden on the people.

And Yan Song also took the opportunity to completely separate himself and Ye Guangming.

The content of the imperial list of tax exemptions was personally drafted by the traitor Prime Minister Yan Song. Twenty-one imperial lists with the emperor's seal and tax exemption for one year were sent one by one to the 21 counties of Yongzhou by the herald.

However, even though Ye Guangming and others concealed the news about the severe drought and starvation in Yongzhou, they were still officials of the Chen Kingdom in the final analysis.

Although Taishi Wen Boyue and his party took the opportunity to arrange for many upright officials to go to Yongzhou to preside over government affairs, the game of power between the two parties finally allowed the emperor to send a censor holding a gold medal arrow to Yongzhou to take charge of Ye Guangming and his party. The cause of death will be investigated clearly.

At the same time, in Pingliang County, Zhou Yi received another thing that made him feel sick.

When Zhou Yi was working in the county government office, he received an appointment order from Jing'an City.

It turned out that this appointment order was written by Ye Guangming before he hiccuped.

There was a businessman named Liu Datong in Jing'an City, Yongzhou who donated one hundred thousand taels of silver to Ye Guangming, hoping to get an official position.

In Yongzhou, all officials of fifth rank (including) and below are personally appointed by Ye Guangming.

Liu Datong gave the money as a gift, but it didn't completely open up the relationship like his name.

After only giving one hundred thousand taels of silver, Ye Guangming naturally would not give Liu Datong a good position, so he thought of twisting the blame for the previous destruction of Pingliang County by the Huns on Zhou Yi, and took the opportunity to remove Zhou Yi from the position of magistrate of Pingliang County. Pull it off.

In this way, the disrespectful Tanhua Lang Zhouyi was rectified, and the problem of Liu Datong's hat was solved.

Moreover, Ye Guangming believed that even if Zhou Yi, the flower explorer, was very capable, he might not be able to achieve anything famous in Pingliang County in just half a year.

When the time comes, when the appointment comes, what other options can there be besides Zhou Yi having to admit defeat in despair!

Yes, Zhou Yi accepted his fate, but this does not mean that Zhou Yi can be manipulated by others.

"Are you sure that I have now been demoted to a ninth-grade clerk?" Zhou Yi asked jokingly after reading the letter of appointment brought by the pot-bellied Liu Datong.

Liu Datong pushed out his big belly and said with a proud face, "Yes, I am the newly appointed magistrate of Pingliang County."
