Practice begins with the awakening of the possessed old devil

It's a pity that the foothold was not yet stable. In September of the same year, Tianmeng and Tatan, two grassland nomadic powers, with millions of cavalry drove into the pass one after another, and captured Zhongjing, the capital of Li Xianxiao, the overlord Li Xianxiao.

Li Bawang's joy gave birth to grief, he had no power to resist at all, and was crushed by the two Tartar steppe powers all the way.

Seeing that the situation was not good, he fled for his life with his family, and the Dagan Kingdom, which had been established for less than a month, no longer existed.

Since then, the northern land is no longer a kingdom of heaven, and all the cultural and military arts have been caught in the long-term invasion and competition of Tianmeng and Tatan, two great northern grassland nomadic powers.

The people in the north were deeply involved in wars and strife, the mourners cried blood, their lives were cut short, and they were reduced to humiliating slaves.

In the end, Tianmeng annexed and destroyed Tatan, achieved great success, and ended with a massive expansion of territory.

Since then, the northern kingdom has been completely lost, and it has been enslaved by Tianmeng for hundreds of years.

However, when the Daqing Dynasty was destroyed by the overlord Li Xianxiao, the royal family of the Daqing Dynasty fled the capital with all the officials, civil and military personnel, crossed the south of the Yangtze River from the north, and fled to the south of the Yangtze River to gain a foothold.

Zhao An, the sixth prince in the court, was uncharacteristically, holding power in his hands, ruling the Zhao family in Daqing, killing his relatives righteously, and killing his own nephew, Zhao Jie, the emperor of Daqing's subjugation, and proclaiming himself emperor on his own.

He successively obliterated the treacherous officials and thieves in the court who had harmed the country and the people, rehabilitated a group of loyal officials and generals such as Ni Zhong, the former Prime Minister of Zhaoxue, and additionally conferred posthumous titles.

The sixth prince, Zhao An, reversed overnight, usurped the throne and seized power, and became the Great Emperor of Nanqing, occupying the land in the south of the Yangtze River, and living in peace.

He also promoted the virtuous and capable, tried his best to govern, and formed a system of his own country.

The momentum of the Zhao family in Daqing gradually revived and continued to expand in the south. After that, the Nanqing Kingdom was established, and the Zhao family of the former Daqing royal family finally survived.

However, the troubled times in the world have not subsided, the disputes in the north, the disasters in the south and divisions, the wars spread widely, production cannot be carried out, resulting in man-made famines and natural disasters;
Under the vicious circle, the Middle-earth, which has been developed for thousands of years, has been reduced to a situation where there is no food for thousands of miles.

The world is still a miserable sea of ​​suffering, with thousands of people, and the vastness of China, there is no day to rest and recuperate.

There are several guards standing at the gate of Jiangling City, checking the gate guards of business travelers and common people passing through the gate.

Looking at Ni Qi's style, he immediately recognized that he was a rich man, and he didn't dare to offend him, so he just nodded and bowed.

All of them were anxious, hesitant, waiting for Ai Ai, and refused to let go.

"I'm Fu Liangyong, the young son of Fu Shaobao's family. I'm here on official business in Jiangling."

Ni Qi raised his head to the sky arrogantly, rolled his eyes: "What? How dare you stop me from entering the city?"

"Master Fu, don't dare, we dare not."

"We know that you are the young master of Mr. Fu Shaobao's family, so we are afraid of neglecting you."

"Everyone wants to lead the way for you, Young Master, and lead you to Jiangling Mansion."

"It saves you from not being able to find the land and taking more detours," the leader of the city gate guard immediately fawned on him.

Ni Qi understands what they mean, and wants to reward them with a little tip by himself, so that they can have a drink together and have fun.

He casually took out two taels of silver, and threw it to the head of the city gate guard: "Lead the way, lead me to Jiangling Mansion. I am going to meet the magistrate, and I want to ask him to do some serious business appointed by the court!"

Ni Qi took out two taels of silver as a tip, which was actually quite a lot.

One tael of silver was at least equivalent to more than 2000 yuan in the most valuable dynasty in ancient times, and two taels of silver was more than 4000 yuan.

As soon as Ni Qi made a tip, the reward was more than 4000 yuan. This money was enough for these city gate guards to drink, and it was enough to drink a few pots, enough to have a good meal.

"Cha!" Seeing that Qian's eyes were wide open, the leader of the guards at the city gate gladly accepted the promise.

Then he personally led Ni Qi and his party, calmly crossed the city gate and went directly into the city.

The dry city gate guards who were left behind were grateful and continued to stand guard.

"My son is on official business for the imperial court. He came all the way to Jiangling city. His clothes and appearance are so decadent. Wouldn't the officer in the Jiangling government look down upon others?" Ni Qi suddenly asked the leader leading the way for no reason. The guard of the city gate led the way.

Entering the city and going to the streets, the weather in the city is still bustling and lively, and it has not been affected too much by the confrontation between the country and the Tianmeng cavalry army at the border.

"What are you talking about, my lord? In a small Jiangling mansion, what kind of knowledge does that ignorant little policeman have? How dare he look down on you, my lord?"

"You are the young master of Master Shaobao's family, and you are a well-known young master in the capital."

The leader of the guards at the city gate had sharp teeth and was very slick, and he immediately complimented Ni Qi on his ability: "Master, you are here in Jiangling today, it is an honor for our whole Jiangling city."

"How big a person can be in this Jiangling Mansion, dare to show off in front of you?"

"Okay, very good!" Ni Qi deliberately pretended to be embarrassed, and said harshly.

"Hmph, I'm such a big kid in the capital, and anyone who comes out will crush me to death. I've had enough of being aggrieved."

"It's better to come to this Jiangling mansion. The sky and the earth are big here, and Lao Tzu is the biggest."

"You magistrates are nothing more than officials from the fourth grade, how dare you disobey and offend Lao Tzu?"

"Finally, I can make me arrogant and domineering. Once I feel proud, I can sweep away all the depression and bird spirit I have suffered in the capital."

"Hahaha... It's really a brilliant idea to come to the place, a very good decision..."

"That's right, my lord, you will live here for a while, and go to play everywhere, so that the servants of Jiangling Mansion will take good care of you."

The leader of the guards at the city gate didn't dare to offend Ni Qi, the eldest son of the capital who pretended to be Fu Shaobao's family in the imperial court, so he just nodded and bowed in a low voice.

In front of the Yamen of Jiangling Mansion, the leader of the city gate guard hurriedly trotted a few steps, went up the steps in front of the Yamen, and informed the Tolerance, who was on duty outside the Yamen, to report to the Lord Futai inside the mansion.

Then, he turned back in front of Ni Qi, bid farewell and left in a hurry, and continued to stand guard before returning to the city gate.

Ni Qi and his party hadn't finished climbing up the steps of the entire yamen, the middle-aged magistrate in his fifties had already rushed out of the gate and greeted him directly.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I didn't expect that Mr. Fu from the court Fu Shaobao's family came to our Jiangling mansion today. I am late in welcoming you, and I ask you to forgive me!"

Ni Qi rolled his eyes, raised his head to the sky, and said very proudly: "The magistrate, I am under the imperial court's secret decree, and I am here on a full-time basis to make unannounced visits to government officials and people in various places."

"Then report directly to the imperial court and the emperor. You should not have disclosed your identity, and came to meet you directly. This is against the imperial court and the emperor's will."

"My surname is Li, and my name is Li Guilong. It's hard for Mr. Fu to fall into the ears of Mr. Fu with such a humble name. It's really presumptuous of you to listen to Mr. Fu."

Li Zhifu immediately said with a dazed expression: "It turns out that Mr. Fu is a secret envoy appointed by the emperor to visit incognito, secretly examine the achievements of officials in various places, and understand the people's sentiments?"

"Prefect Li, right? You know that I'm on the shoulders of the emperor's envoys." Ni Qi's lies became louder and louder, more and more slippery, just to bluff people.

"But...but all I met in the Jiangling mansion you governed were cunning, rascals and unreasonable people, and they dared to blatantly extort money from me."

"Also... and that habitual thief and swindler also regards me as fat, and repeatedly reaches out to me secretly."

"When I was negligent and ignorant, I lost a lot of money, and even made it difficult for me to move a single step in your Jiangling mansion."

"I have to come to you for emergency, the autumn wind is blowing, you can figure it out..."

Li Zhifu was stupefied by Ni Qi, secretly thinking that something was wrong, he only thought that Ni Qi was here to brazenly ask him for a bribe.

That's why after pondering for a while, he deliberately became angry, and said in a stern voice: "What kind of scumbags are so short-sighted, they all set their minds on you, son, and dare to stare at you with their filthy dog ​​eyes property? Is this still worth it?"

"Young Master, you can inform the government of the details of the incident as much as you can. This government must severely punish these wolf-hearted people for you, and give you a satisfactory answer and explanation." Li Zhifu fully agreed to Ni Qi's swearing. Panic.

"Even though such matters are entrusted to the government, the government still has some means to dissect the case."

Immediately afterwards, he immediately invited: "I also invite you to sit in the government office for a while, the government is dealing with a huge life lawsuit in the hall."

"Just because I heard that the young master arrived, I had to leave the hall in the middle and go out of the mansion hall to meet the young master."

"After the case is resolved, the mansion will come to the mansion to apologize to the young master, and ask the young master to be less guilty!"

"Oh! A life lawsuit?" Ni Qi asked back.

He lowered his head and pretended to ponder, and volunteered: "Li Futai, just right, I am very interested in your in-court settlement, why don't you let me watch your on-the-spot settlement?"

"Anyway, at this moment, I happen to be idle and have nothing to do."

"This Mr. Fu is anxious to assess my ability and political achievements. Is he loyal to the emperor, or is he deliberately making things difficult and trying to blackmail me for bribes?"

Li Futai was uneasy in his heart, but he had no choice but to answer: "Mr. Fu is not afraid of hard work, and has such elegance, so it is the best. It is too late for me to welcome you!"

So Li Zhifu led Ni Qi and his party back to the mansion hall, where indeed, as Li Zhifu said, a trial of a public case was going on.

Two rows of majestic tolerance officers, each holding a killing stick, divided the left and right sides of the mansion hall, and the plaintiff and the defendant were kneeling in the hall.

In the courtyard of the government office, there were still many people who came to have fun, and they all gathered in front of the door of the government hall to visit the prime minister.

Li Zhifu returned to the seat in the hall, and ordered someone to show Ni Qi a seat, and let Ni Qi sit on his left side.

With a bang, Li Zhifu slapped the gavel on the case, and asked a man in his 30s with disheveled hair who was kneeling in the hall with a majestic face:
"Sima Ru, the old lady of the Ma family accused you of killing her husband and only son, and asked the government to make the decision for her, and let you kill and pay for your life. Can you plead guilty?"

"Master Qingtian, you are wronged, I am wronged!"
