Crazy Xiuxian, boundless magic power

"Mighty~"

Following the deep roars of twelve yamen runners armed with killing sticks, Li Yuner knelt down in the hall.

"Sir, please make the decision for me."

Chu Wen saw that the woman in the hall had delicate eyebrows and eyes that were both strong and soft, and her red lips and white teeth were gentle and beautiful.

Although she was kneeling, her waist was straight, like a rose that blooms proudly in the frost. She not only had a breathtaking beauty, but also exuded a tenacious heroic spirit.

Chu Wen took a liking to her at first sight. He felt that the woman looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before.

He imitated the plot in the movie, sat upright in the lobby, tried hard to put away his smile, and said seriously:

"Get up and talk."

"Thank you, sir."

Li Yuner slowly stood up and looked up at Chu Wen, her eyes full of admiration and hope.

"Tell me slowly what grievance you have."

"Sir, my name is Li Yuner, and I live in Wuyi Lane in the west of the city..."

Lee Yoon-ah tells the story of how she disguised herself as a man to go to school.

Upon hearing this, Chu Wen recalled the poetry gathering three years ago.

At that time, there was a handsome scholar named Li Yong who always looked at me with affection in his eyes. He also respectfully toasted me with a glass of wine. I even wrote down his name.

Now that I think about it, Lee Yoon-ah looks very similar to that scholar, even their names are so similar, so that's it.

After listening to Li Yuner's statement, Chu Wen said:

"Lee Yoon-ah, were you present at the poetry gathering three years ago?"

A hint of excitement flashed in Li Yuner's eyes.

"So the adults still remember me."

Chu Wen confirmed this and knew that the person in the hall was his little fan girl. He was very happy and immediately had an idea.

"Li Yuner, why are you disguising yourself as a man and studying so hard?"

"Your Excellency, if you pass the imperial examination, you can go to the capital to take up a position. Yuner does not have much ambition, but only hopes to earn money to support the family like a man."

Chu Wen nodded and said:

"In that case, are you willing to work in the county government?"

After these words were spoken, everyone in the county government hall focused their attention on Chu Wen.

Even the twelve yamen runners holding killing sticks turned to look at Chu Wen.

Master Xu was even more shocked.

How could a woman work in the county government?

It's almost like working in the backyard of the county government.

Li Yuner looked at Chu Wen in surprise, not knowing what to say and was speechless for a moment.

"Are you willing?" Chu Wen asked again.

Li Yuner came back to her senses and nodded vigorously.

"I am willing."

Chu Wen twitched his lips and said, "If that's the case, then you should report to the county government office tomorrow."

Lee Yoon-ah couldn't believe this was true.

She studied hard and was unwilling to get married, just so that she could work and earn money like men to support her mother.

Now that she had gotten what she wanted, her face flushed with excitement.

Master Xu couldn't help it any longer, and whispered to Chu Wen:

"Sir, this is against etiquette. As a woman, what kind of job can she do in the county government?"

Li Yuner felt a chill in her heart when she heard this.

But I heard the county magistrate say:

"What a bunch of bullshit etiquette. He can read and write, and he just wants to make money to support his family. How could he have any bad intentions? I will fulfill his little wish."

After saying that, Chu Wen looked at Li Yuner and continued:

"I appoint you as the Women's Director of the Buffalo County Women's Federation, in charge of women's lawsuits in Buffalo County. From now on, all cases involving women's rights will be your responsibility. You can make your own decisions in civil lawsuits, and you can provide legal advice to women in criminal cases. Do you understand?"

Li Yuner had never heard of the position of director of women's affairs. She was so excited that she nodded repeatedly and expressed her gratitude.

Master Xu and a group of officers looked at the county magistrate in confusion, their minds going blank.

"Master Xu, send someone to vacate the office space for Director Li immediately."

How could Master Xu dare to say no? He quickly agreed.

"Master Xu, how much is your monthly salary?" Chu Wen asked.

"My Lord, my monthly salary is five taels of silver."

"How much is the monthly salary of an ordinary yamen runner?"

"Your Excellency, the monthly salary of a yamen runner ranges from 500 to 1,500 coins."

Chu Wen heard this and quickly calculated in his mind, then picked up the gavel and slammed it, saying:

"From today on, the monthly salary of all county officials will be doubled!"

After these words were spoken, the twelve yamen runners, Mr. Xu, and Mr. Xu, the chief clerk in the hall, all looked at Chu Wen in surprise and joy, and then knelt down together.

"Thank you for the gift, sir!"

"Everyone, stand up. If you want to thank someone, thank Director Li. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't know your monthly salary is so low."

Master Xu thought to himself: I clearly told you this this morning, and I said it three times.

Chu Wen looked at Li Yuner and said:

"The monthly salary of the women's director is ten taels, and the rank is equivalent to that of a county magistrate. Are you willing?"

Master Xu was shocked when he heard this. Isn't this the same as himself?

Only then did he realize that the reason why the master raised his monthly salary was this.

It turns out that I really have to thank Lee Yoon-ah.

Lee Yoon-ah couldn't believe her ears.

Ten taels of silver as a monthly salary!

My mother works hard and only earns four hundred coins a month, while I only make ten taels of silver a month!

She never dreamed that she could earn so much money in a month, and she was filled with gratitude.

"Yes, I do. Thank you, sir!" Li Yuner responded quickly.

"In addition, you can recruit four female committee members on your own, each with a monthly salary of two taels of silver. I only have two requirements for the candidates."

"First, she must be a literate woman."

"Second, your appearance must be decent. The county government is the face of Buffalo County. If your appearance is too bad, it will affect the image of Buffalo County. Do you understand?"

Li Yuner was stunned by this unexpected happiness and agreed immediately.

"Master Xu, you will hand over all the files of women's lawsuits over the years, as well as all the pending cases involving women, to Director Li."

"Yes, my lord."

"Director Li, you should recruit women committee members as soon as possible to review the past files. If there is any injustice, you can request a re-examination, especially those wealthy families with connections above. You must not let them go."

"Yes, sir!" Li Yuner bowed and nodded like a man.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xu thought to himself that anyone who could become a county magistrate was indeed no ordinary person, as he wanted to extort money as soon as he took office.

Little did he know that Chu Wen just wanted to offend a few people with connections and get fired quickly.

As for Li Yuner, please invite her to Fengyinju to be the housekeeper, with a monthly salary of one hundred taels. If she does a good job, there will be bonuses!

Director Li

……

In the next ten days, Chu Wen reviewed more than twenty cases involving wealthy families.

All decisions are made fairly and without partiality.

I just hope those people with connections above me can sue me.

Even Sun Shangwu was ordered to pay two hundred taels of silver.

half a month later.

Not only was Magistrate Chu not dismissed, but the people of Shuiniu County regarded him as an upright official who was not afraid of power and was fair and honest.

Those wealthy families who had suffered losses were all aware of the reputation of Feng Yin Jushi. They were worried that if they failed to appeal, they would be implicated instead, so everyone remained silent.

Chu Wen’s wishful thinking failed again.

this day.

Pang Su, the owner of "Meifengyuan", came to the county government to file a complaint.

He sued Sun Dapeng for beating people and smashing the store, and demanded compensation for the losses.

The Beauty House was the only brothel in Buffalo.

Chu Wen went there once and did some touching, but unfortunately he hadn't established his foundation at that time.

Sun Dapeng is the son of Sun Shangwu and the younger brother of Sun Bihe.

Chu Wen had seen him twice. He was a little fat boy and thought he was quite cute at the time.

Pang Su's complaint said that Sun Dapeng not only slept with the girl but also refused to pay her.

He also ordered the servants to beat up the madam, pimp, and security guards, and smashed countless tables, chairs, screens, flower pots, and wine racks in the store.

He even threatened to burn down Meifengyuan.

Pang Su knelt on the ground and wailed loudly:

"My Lord, you must help me. Sun Dapeng is lawless and has brought people to block me everywhere. I don't even dare to go home now."

Chu Wen laughed and asked, "Why did he have to hit you?"

"I don't know. I never provoked him. He smashed my store and beat my people because he didn't like me. Sun Dapeng relied on his father's wealth to do all kinds of evil in Buffalo. Everyone is afraid of him. Your Excellency must stand up for me."

"Tong Liao, call Sun Dapeng! Please ask Miss Sun to come and listen."

"Yes! Sir."

"Be polite to Miss Sun."

"Yes! Sir."
