There's A Beauty

It is said that Qingshui Yamen is Qingshui Yamen, but he doesn't know how other yamen are. He only knows that his Suichang County Yamen is almost clear. All the money that "Zhao Youshu" corrupted was exchanged for supplies by him. Part of the remaining cash was used to repair and strengthen the dams everywhere, part was used to pay the servants, and the rest was saved for emergencies.

Seeing the black clouds above his head rolling like huge waves, his expression became more and more serious day by day, and he felt more and more that the supplies at hand were not enough, so his eyes turned to think about it.Now he finally knows what it means to be a "county magistrate who destroys a family, and a governor who destroys a family". It turns out that it is really easy to copy a house. A lot of property.

He first called for the villagers who had been bullied by Wang Fu and others, and handed over the pre-written certificates, and asked them to beat the Dengwen drum.Because Wang Fu was under the protection of Wang Zhifu before, no matter how evil he did, everyone could only swallow his anger and dare not offend him in the slightest.Now it is unknown how long the black gauze hat on Wang Zhifu's head can be worn, and Wang Fu also broke his waist and was paralyzed in bed, completely useless.At this time, when will we wait?

All the villagers made a brief calculation, and they took their complaints to appeal for grievances.Youshu had been preparing for a long time, and immediately issued a warrant to arrest people.Nine out of ten people who were tried this time were officials from the original yamen, and even Wang Fu, who was paralyzed in bed, was brought to the court for questioning.They do a lot of crimes on weekdays. Some people rape the prisoners' wives and daughters while they are being arrested, some people collect money from vendors along the street, and some people release prisoners without permission, etc. The list of crimes is too numerous to enumerate.

Youshu forced her mental power into her eyes, and saw that the heads of these people were all covered in black mist, and they were very lifeless. It could be seen that they all had lives in their hands, so they didn't wait for verification. , I was also frightened, and came to interrogate again.At this time, no one dared to quibble, they pressed their fingerprints on the crime, which saved a lot of trouble.

Youshu imprisoned the criminals and waited for the ruling of the court, and then led a group of strong men to ransack the house, registered all the looted property in a book, posted it on the public list outside the county government, and bluntly said that the money would It will be used to buy more food, medicinal materials, cloth, etc.

The people first called him Lord Qingtian, and then kindly called him Xiaozhao County Magistrate, and now they gave him a new nickname - Chaojia County Magistrate.But this nickname does not have the slightest hint of fear or irony, because he copied all the heinous families, and it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. Naturally, the people will not be afraid of criticism, but will happily tell each other.

Of course, some people expressed doubts about the whereabouts of the property, and secretly speculated.But he bought any supplies through open and aboveboard channels. Some merchants often drove bullock carts to the county government office to hand over the goods. Several accountants were not afraid of the people watching, counting the amount directly at the door, adding up the silver taels, and then paying the bill in person. All dealings are fair, impartial and transparent.

Gradually, the businessmen in the vicinity liked to deal with County Magistrate Zhao, and they would report to him first whenever they had good products.Of course, there are also profiteers who hate him deeply, because he will check the quantity on the spot. Someone brought hundreds of bags of moldy rice noodles, and he cut the sack open with a knife, and opened it for all passers-by to watch, and then took out a small book , Write down the name of the businessman, saying that he will never do any business with him again.

The common people are very concerned about the actions of the magistrate Xiaozhao, and they naturally know who has been on his blacklist recently, and then they all boycotted the shop opened by the businessman, and they will tell you to close the shop within a few days .

If one month passed, one night, a heavy downpour suddenly fell on Lishui, accompanied by earth-shattering thunder and howling and raging winds. The majestic momentum and purple light all over the sky gave people an extremely ominous premonition.Youshu stood in the corridor outside the door in a thin robe, looking up at the sky.

The black clouds that were still tumbling in mid-air all turned into rain at this moment, and black dragon shadows rushed into the nearby rivers, lakes and seas, as if they wanted to stir up more storms.Until this time, the Dayong Kingdom had truly changed, and it was unknown how the new emperor should deal with this catastrophe.

Youshu didn't think about it any more, and immediately ran to the villages and towns next to the water to check whether the dam was firm.Fortunately, he personally participated in the reconstruction project of the dams. When the flood hit, Suichang's dams were impregnable. big.

As far as Youshu knows, the repair funds allocated by the imperial court every year are also a major means for local officials to solicit money. Let alone others, "Zhao Youshu" has only been a county magistrate in Suichang for a year, and then he has no idea about building dams, The granaries, official roads, post stations and other items totaled 8 taels of silver. Once Suichang was flooded, more than tens of millions of people would die?At that time, it will not be as simple as being beaten with hundreds of lashes.

Fortunately, Youshu replaced him in time, so that no irreversible tragedy was caused.He ordered his servants to wake up the village chiefs, and asked them to call the villagers to take refuge in the high ground, and at the same time, don't forget to bring the important belongings of the family.

Didn't sleep well in the middle of the night, and went to the mountains in the rain, isn't this asking for guilt?The villagers were full of complaints, but when they heard that the county magistrate Xiao Zhao came to remind everyone in person, they forced themselves to pack their things.Youshu ran to seven or eight Linshui villages in a row, transferring all the people who could be transferred to a safe place, and then returned to the county.

Because there are still many disaster prevention decrees to be promulgated the next day, he must make a plan for the night. He did not dare to waste time. He jumped out of the wooden barrel after taking a hot bath in a hurry. As soon as his feet hit the ground, he saw The carved screen suddenly twisted for a moment, and a tall figure walked out slowly, looking at each other.

what's the situation?Both of them were taken aback for a moment, then both froze.Fortunately, Youshu was used to the other party's disappearance, so she immediately pretended to be nonchalant and went to get the bath towel.This move meant a great challenge to him. Coincidentally, the bath towel was placed on the carved screen, and the man's tall body was in front of the screen.

This means that Youshu has to go through the man's body to get what she wants.Of course he could make a detour, but if he made a deliberate circle when there was nothing in front of him, wouldn't it be clear to tell the man that he could see him?Youshu didn't know why the man often came to the county office. He might have noticed something strange, or maybe he hadn't, but as long as he didn't move for a day, Youshu couldn't show his timidity first.

With his current strength, it is barely enough to deal with a few ghosts, let alone King Yama of the underworld?So he can only be patient and cannot act arbitrarily.

While adjusting his breathing without any trace, he walked straight towards the man, reaching for the bath towel hanging behind his back.The man was wearing a mask and couldn't see his expression clearly, but his sharp eyes seemed a little confused at the moment, even obscure.He reflexively took two steps back, which made Youshu overjoyed.

To be honest, Youshu was hoping that he would evade actively like last time.Even if this person is just a phantom that cannot be touched, but my eyes can really see it after all, if I really bump into it, I will always feel a little nervous and difficult to adapt, as if I have taken this person into my body.

However, he was too happy too soon.I don't know what the man was thinking, he only took two small steps back and stood firmly, his eyes quickly changed from confused and obscure to sharp as knives.He stared straight at Youshu, who was getting closer and closer, and even tilted his head slightly when his arm reached his ear, making a movement as if to sniff.

The villain in Youshu's heart was already frightened, but she didn't show it on her face. She took off the bath towel very naturally and began to wipe her body. "Zhao Youshu" suffered a lot when she was young, so she was very thin and thin. Although she became a county magistrate, she was thinking about how to collect money all day long, so that her mental exhaustion was too much and she became weaker and weaker.

After Youshu took over this body, she ate well every day, took care of her errands, went to bed early and got up early, and after dozens of days of effort, she became white and tender, and after taking a bath, her skin was covered with water droplets, which looked like a plant Yuzhu, tall and straight and verdant.For some reason, the man who was going to avoid for a moment stopped firmly, his eyes glued to him.

Youshu turned around pretending to be calm, and wiped her dripping hair.When the bath towel was hung down to cover his cheeks for a moment, he made a grinning expression, apparently quite shocked.He didn't dare to wipe too fast, and he didn't dare to wipe too slowly, it would appear too deliberate and arouse the other party's suspicion, so he had to try his best to maintain the previous state.

Satisfied with his unhurriedness, the man walked to the chair by the screen and sat down, propping his cheek to look at him.When he bent down to wipe his legs, the white and round buttocks were raised high, facing him... The man's eyes dimmed, and he immediately crossed his long legs and changed to a less awkward sitting position .

He knew that Youshu was extremely nervous now. Although he tried his best to cover it up, his muscles tensed unconsciously to prevent the danger from behind.Therefore, his fleshy buttocks are trembling now, appearing very elastic, making people unconsciously want to reach out and touch them.

The man watched with gusto, his eyes sparkling from time to time, and what made him even more gratified was that when he appeared, Youshu, who had always been extremely vigilant, turned around and turned her back to him, although there were some people who covered her body. Intent, but more exposed his trust in himself.

What kind of existence does he have in his heart?Fear but trust, it sounds like a contradiction.Suddenly, the man had the desire to explore.

Youshu didn't have the leisurely mood of cranky thoughts at all.At first he felt like a light was on his back, and the cold air seeped into his body, and then he felt his body was scorching hot, almost being pierced, and he also knew that it was all caused by the sight behind him.He now has a deep understanding of what is meant by the two heavens of ice and fire, wishing he could conjure up a suit of clothes out of thin air and put them on.When he finally dried his body and put on his obscene clothes and trousers, his cheeks were already hot and red, as if drunk.

He tried not to look at Yama, who was sitting on the chair, and walked around the screen to the outside room.The man also came out, walking side by side with him, and from time to time suddenly approached, staring at him with dark and unpredictable eyes.Encountering this kind of weird situation, if it was another person, she would have been terrified. Fortunately, Youshu has a lot of experience and knowledge, and she gradually got used to it.

He went straight to the desk, picked up a pen to compile the disaster relief process, and filled the paper with almost no thinking.The man stood very close, and he could smell the moisture and fragrance of his wet hair with a slight tilt of his head. He was a little distracted at first, but after a few glances, he concentrated on reading silently. After a while, he secretly applauded.

He disappeared, touched Youshu's wet head, his movements were slow and unspeakably intimate, and then disappeared into the water curtain all over the sky.

Once Youshu gets serious, she ignores the things around her.He didn't notice the man's departure, but felt a slight chill on the top of his head, so he covered his head with a bath towel and continued writing government orders until the servant knocked on the door with a bowl of hot ginger soup and two baskets of steamed dumplings. Suddenly come back to God.

"Hey, where's the person?" He just muttered and went to open the door. The steam that hit his face made him sneezed hugely.

Fortunately, the ginger soup was not affected by being placed in the food box. Instead, the servant was sprayed with saliva all over his face.He wiped it with his sleeve carelessly, and said with a smile, "Master, the ginger soup you want is ready, drink it while it's hot."

"I didn't ask you to make ginger soup." Youshu was slightly puzzled.

Most of the servants in the yamen are men, and the only two maids also resigned a few days ago, saying that the master can live and they don't need to serve.After all, men are different from women in that they are not so delicate in their thoughts. Seeing the master come back in the rain in the middle of the night, no one thought of getting him a bowl of medicine to dispel the cold or preparing some supper for his stomach.

The servant was very puzzled, and asked, "Didn't the master send someone to the kitchen and tell us to make a bowl of ginger soup quickly? He also said that you are hungry, and you'd better make some easy-to-digest food. You see , these are frozen steamed dumplings with three fresh skins, they melt in your mouth, and you can go to sleep immediately after eating them."

After the two maids resigned, Youshu's room was left unattended, and several servants came to watch the night, but he drove them away one by one.Now in the middle of the night, someone suddenly brought ginger soup and food, and said he ordered it, how could it be possible?You Shu thought about it, but only guessed one possibility.

He asked in a low voice, "Do you still remember what the man who ordered you to make ginger soup looked like?"

The boy nodded first, then shook his head after careful consideration, with a puzzled expression in his eyes, he muttered unconsciously, "It's strange, I just remembered it, why have I forgotten it now?"

He must have been deceived by Yan Luowang. It seems that he is really a good person, no, a good god.Thinking of this, the fear and anger of being watched dissipated instantly, and Youshu's perception of the man became better and better.He drank the ginger soup in one gulp, then picked up the chopsticks to eat the steamed dumplings, and said vaguely, "I know who it is. It's none of your business here, go back to sleep."

"Okay. The younger one will sleep in the side room next door. If the master has something to do, just call the younger one." The servant immediately retreated and closed the door tightly.

As you expected, the downpour lasted only one day and one night, and the dams in the upstream county were washed away, affecting seven or eight towns in Suichang.Fortunately, the villagers evacuated in time and no casualties were caused, but the vast fertile land was completely submerged by the flood, which also took away all the harvest in the first half of this year.

As early as Youshu built many shanty houses on the outskirts of the city to accommodate the victims, opened warehouses in time to release food, and cooked soup for free to prevent epidemics.Although their homes were buried under the water, the people affected by the disaster lived well. They had porridge to drink, medicine to eat, houses to live in, clothes to wear, and quilts to cover. They were very peaceful.

Moreover, the county magistrate had already promulgated a decree, saying that after the flood receded, he would recruit corvee workers to repair the destroyed public facilities such as dams, roads and bridges, post stations, etc., and pay back a tael of silver per month for food and housing.Ordinary low houses can be built with only a few taels of silver, that is to say, after a few months of work, the villagers can rebuild their homes.Not only that, the county magistrate also canceled the tax for the second half of the year, and distributed grain seeds to all villages and villages for free, so that everyone can make up for the harvest in time.

The promulgation of various government orders has completely relieved everyone from worrying about the future. How can everyone not be grateful?It wasn't until this time that the people of Suichang realized what the county magistrate was buying supplies for a few days ago.He had long foreseen that natural disasters were coming, and in order to ensure that the people under his rule could survive, he sold off all his assets one by one.

To build such a huge shantytown, and to provide daily rice, soup, medicine, and clothes, the amount of silver required can be roughly calculated even by those illiterate peasants.The financial reports posted by the county magistrate on the public list are not false.

Master Qingtian!A living Bodhisattva who saves suffering!How many lifetimes of virtue will the people of Suichang County have to accumulate before they can meet such a good official who cares about the country and the people and cares about himself after death?As soon as everyone saw Xiao Zhao County Magistrate passing by in a hurry, they spontaneously surrounded him, greeted him loudly, or urged him earnestly.They didn't dare to kneel down, because Xiaozhao county magistrate said that it was dangerous for many people to be crowded together, and if they knelt down, a stampede might happen.He would rather get hurt himself than see everyone die for nothing.It is his duty to let the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment, and no one needs to be grateful.

These words may seem simple, but they really speak into everyone's heart.Since then, the people have kept their gratitude in their hearts, and strictly implemented the orders of Xiaozhao County Magistrate.He asked everyone to pay attention to personal hygiene, so everyone took a bath frequently; he asked everyone to take care of the elderly, weak, women and children, and young and strong men took the initiative to take care of everyone; he asked everyone to sprinkle lime on the corners of the house, and the resettlement area You can see the white rice flour; he isolated the slightly unwell person alone, no one felt afraid or hesitated, and immediately bid farewell to his relatives and moved to another place...

He ordered the people to act one by one, and handled the post-disaster affairs in an orderly and proper manner.The flood was still raging, and the heavy rain was still pouring, but Suichang was peaceful and stable.

On the other hand, the surrounding counties have already become a mess.Many villages were submerged by floods, causing countless deaths and injuries, but the county magistrate could not provide food relief, so he could only block the surviving villagers from the city gate and let them fend for themselves.Some people change their sons and eat them, some fall into grass and become bandits, and some commit suicide by jumping into the river. That scene can be called purgatory on earth.

After hearing about the situation in Suichang County, a large number of disaster victims flocked to the village, which doubled the pressure on Youshu.Fortunately, he was well-prepared, but he could barely make it through.Seven or eight days later, the rain slowed down a little, and the convoy dispatched by the imperial court finally arrived. They first stayed in the state capital, and then distributed them county by county.Suichang, which had the most disaster victims, was the last to receive money and food, and the amount was the least.

Seeing the twenty scooters slowly driving into the city gate, Youshu's face was as black as a pan, but the imperial envoy was still grinning brightly, as if he was in a very happy mood.He turned a blind eye to the thin victims crowded on both sides of the road, cupped his hands and said, "Master Zhao, I kept you waiting. Where is the warehouse, please lead us there?"

"You don't need to go to the warehouse. You have been waiting for this batch of money and food for a long time, so let's divide it up." Youshu raised a dagger and cut through several sacks on the top, and then opened the wooden box containing the silver.

It was too late when the imperial envoy tried to stop them again, and instead of rice, fine sand flowed out of the sack; instead of silver, bricks flowed out of the wooden box.what 's wrong?The victims were stunned at first, and then asked angrily, "Where's our food? Where's the money? Where did you get it?"

Being exploited for many years, how can they not understand the twists and turns here, it is nothing more than layer upon layer of deduction, and if it is deducted from Xiaozhao county magistrate, there will be nothing.The higher-ups filled their pockets and enriched themselves, but they ignored the real disaster victims?God, what kind of world is this?

What's even more hateful is that they planned to frame Xiao Zhao county magistrate by cheating.If County Magistrate Xiao Zhao didn't inspect the supplies on the spot, but directly transported them into the warehouse, closed the door and opened it again, how would he make it clear when distributing money and food next time?

Maybe the higher-ups will accuse him of embezzling ink and destroying money, and he will be beheaded!What a vicious mind, what a dirty method!The victims were so angry that they pinned the imperial envoy to the ground and beat them up. In the end, You Shu spoke to persuade them, and they finally stopped.

Youshu arrested every one of them, kept twenty cars of criminal evidence, and continued to resettle the victims.After the flood is over, he will definitely write the matter and submit it to the new emperor to see how he handles it.

Another half month later, the flood slowly receded, and the victims began to rebuild their homes, but many officers and soldiers came from Suichang County, who tied up Youshu and took you to the prison in the state capital.It wasn't until this time that Youshu knew that the imperial court had already sent imperial envoys to investigate the embezzlement of disaster funds.I don't know how Wang Zhi's mansion works, but the imperial envoy thought that the disaster money was not stolen by corrupt ink, but was robbed by mountain bandits, and Youshu became the leader of the bandits inexplicably.

Youshu asked the imperial envoy to produce evidence, and said with a contemptuous smile to Convenience, "The bandits plundered the counties and killed many officials, but they did nothing to Suichangqiu. How do you explain this?"

"How do you explain it? Because the bandits are also villagers affected by the disaster. They are benevolent and righteous. They can't bear to kill tens of millions of compatriots in the city, and they can't bear to kill me, a good official!" Youshu's defense was only exchanged for a punishment from the imperial envoy, and finally forced him Fingerprinted on the charge.Youshu's reading ability is very strong, and she can see the adverbs clearly and plainly with just a glance.

They actually planned to blame Youshu for what Wang Zhifu did, and found witnesses and created account books. The terms and conditions were well-founded and logical, which showed that they had been planning for a long time.And the imperial envoy must have been bought by them to cooperate with this matter.

Youshu felt desperate for the first time, because the imperial envoy had a Shangfang sword, which could be cut first and played later.That is to say, he can make himself disappear without taking the case to Beijing for retrial, and the dirty water splashed on his head will never be washed away.

What should we do now?Youshu thought for a moment, finally bit her fingertips, and drew a soul-departing talisman on her forehead.When he was on the verge of life and death, the only person he could turn to for help was Yan Luo of the underworld. It was a great irony to say that.
