Crazy Xiuxian, boundless magic power

Chu Wen just wanted someone to sue him as soon as possible so that he could escape from the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible, so he said:

"Whoever of you can run fast, please go to the county and tell Lord Zhao about this."

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of officers showed panic on their faces, and then knelt down in unison, causing an uproar in the lobby of the county government office.

"If Liu An betrays you, I will be struck by lightning! I will not die a good death!"

"Master Chu, I, Xu Hu, have always been loyal and righteous. Everyone in Shuiniu County knows this..."

"I, Wang Wu, am absolutely loyal to you, sir. Please investigate clearly."

"I have long admired your great reputation and respect you deeply. Now that I see you sitting in the hall, I am so happy that I cannot contain myself. How could I do such a thing as betraying my master and seeking glory..."

"I, Liao Tong, have absolutely no second thoughts about you, my Lord. I am willing to chop off my fingers as a proof."

……

Chu Wen was stunned and it took him a long time to realize that these people thought he was testing them.

The county lieutenant "Liao Tong" was seen kneeling on the ground. He drew out his sword with a clang and chopped the hand on the ground.

Chu Wen was shocked and was about to stop it.

Liao Tong threw down his sword, raised his little finger, which was still dripping with blood, above his head, and said with a righteous look:

"Sir, I, Liao Tongruo, betrayed my loyalty and sold out my master for fame and glory, so I shall be punished like this!"

Nima!

Chu Wen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

What is going on? I can’t even find someone to complain to.

"Okay, okay, everyone, get up."

After saying this, Chu Wen found that everyone in the hall was still kneeling, and no one stood up.

County Magistrate Xu's forehead was red and swollen, his eyes were filled with tears, and he said in a sad voice:

"If you don't take back your words, we will die here on our knees!"

Chu Wen slapped his forehead with his palm, and a thousand horses were galloping in his heart.

He covered his forehead, closed his eyes and said:

"I take it back. Everyone, get up."

"Thank you, sir!"

Only then did everyone get up.

Chu Wen looked at the blood on the ground and shook his head.

"Liao Tong, right? Take it to treat your injuries."

As he spoke, Chu Wen took out a silver note for five hundred taels and placed it on the table.

County Lieutenant Liao said with gratitude: "It's just a minor injury, there's no need for you to worry about it."

"Don't waste time, hurry up!" Chu Wen said impatiently.

When Liao Tong heard the county magistrate speak like this, he had no choice but to step forward, take the banknote and glance sideways.

Five hundred taels!

"Sir! How can I afford five hundred taels of silver for my injury? Please take it back quickly."

When these words were spoken, all the officers were shocked.

What does five hundred taels mean? It’s the salary of a constable for forty years!

Everyone looked at Liao Tong with envy, and secretly praised him for his clever methods.

Chu Wen was almost annoyed by these people. He picked up the gavel and slammed it hard, cursing:

"It's my first fucking day on duty and you're already giving me problems. You're always opposing everything I say. From today on, if anyone says no to me, I'll immediately have him file a complaint against me in the county!"

Everyone lowered their heads upon hearing this, and no one dared to say a word.

Chu Wen saw that Zhou Bantou, who had grabbed him, had a big bump on his forehead and found it funny. He shouted:

"Zhou Bantou."

Upon hearing this, Constable Zhou Bantou knew that the time for reckoning had come. He was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"I am blind and deserve death. Please punish me..."

"You are not guilty, stand up and talk." Chu Wen said, trying not to laugh.

Zhou Bantou originally wanted to kowtow to Magistrate Chu a few more times, but suddenly he remembered what Magistrate Chu had just said, and quickly stood up obediently.

"Listen, you did a great job. You should do the same thing in the future. No matter who it is, as long as they break the law, they should be arrested. It is best to arrest the rich and powerful. Do you understand?"

Chu Wen was determined to find someone to file a complaint against him. Since the yamen runners didn't dare to go, he set his sights on those with connections.

In view of the rules set by Chu Wen before, Zhou Bantou didn't dare to say no, and agreed with half surprise and half doubt.

"Sir, last night I sent you the land register, household register, and financial accounts of Buffalo County... Please check them."

"Just go and take care of those things. Everything remains the same. If you have any questions, come to me."

After that, Chu Wen asked curiously, "How much silver is left in the county treasury?"

"There are still 73 taels of silver and 9,314 coins in the treasury, and the tax owed to the court is 5,853 taels of silver and 842 coins."

Master Xu knows everything about it.

"what!"

Chu Wen was shocked: "You owe money?!"

"Sir, there are many mountains and little land in Shuiniu County. Last year, there was a drought and epidemic, and half of the land was barren. We can't collect taxes, and coupled with the debts from previous years, we owe the court a lot of silver."

Upon hearing this, Chu Wen remembered that there was indeed not much rain last summer. He did not expect the impact to be so big.

“I see that there are many rivers in Buffalo County, so why not dig canals to combat drought?”

"Your Excellency, during a severe drought, small rivers dry up and the water level of large rivers drops, making it difficult to get water. Digging rivers and building dams is a huge project that requires a huge amount of manpower and material resources. Buffalo County has a sparse population and is unable to bear the cost."

"You can try to get water from a water truck..."

"My Lord, what is a waterwheel?"

"..."

Unconsciously, Chu Wen had assumed the identity of the county magistrate without realizing it.

……

Beijing.

royal palace.

Minister of Personnel Du Fengzhu said to the empty dragon throne:

"Your Majesty, Chu Wen is arrogant and rude. Not only did he insult the imperial envoy, he also gave the imperial edict to his younger sister to play with. Please order your Majesty to arrest him and punish him."

The golden dragon on the back of the chair slowly opened his mouth: "It's just a small matter, let him go."

"emperor……"

"Don't say too much."

Chu Wen was a county magistrate appointed by the emperor himself, and Du Fengzhu, the Minister of Personnel, did not dare to dismiss him privately.

Seeing that the emperor was so partial to Chu Wen, he thought that Zhao Yunting must have said a lot of good things about him in front of the emperor.

Du Fengzhu laughed secretly in his heart, Zhao Yunting, ah, Zhao Yunting, no matter how cunning and treacherous you are, you will not be able to get away with it this time.

That young boy has no experience in governing, yet you dare to bet on him. When he makes a big mistake, that will be the day of your downfall.

Li Yuner lives in Wuyi Lane in the west of the city.

Her father died early, and she was raised by her mother who worked in a cloth shop.

Because her mother knew some words, the smart Lee Yoon-ah, under her mother's guidance, disguised herself as a man and entered the Qingyang Academy in Buffalo at the age of fifteen, hoping to get a job through the regular examination to support her family.

A year later, the academy held a poetry gathering, and Li Yuner met Feng Yin Jushi, whom she had admired for a long time.

At the poetry meeting, she was impressed by Feng Yin's talent and fell in love with him from then on.

Three months ago, the imperial court held a regular examination. In order to prevent cheating, candidates had to take off their clothes for inspection before entering the examination room.

It was then discovered that Li Yuner was a girl. Not only was she kicked out of the examination room, she was also expelled from the academy.

Being extremely talented, she appealed in anger, demanding that her student status be restored so that she could take the regular exams.

As a result, he was severely scolded by Zhao Dezhu.

In desperation, Li Yuner had to give up the idea of ​​taking the job exam and went home to live with her mother sewing clothes.

That afternoon, Li Yuner heard that the new county magistrate had taken office.

When she learned that the new county magistrate was Feng Yin, she was surprised and delighted.

He immediately ran to the county government office and beat the drum to file a complaint.
