The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 139 I want you to be an honest and upright county magistrate in the future

Not long after they left, the county magistrate came out of the city with a group of yamen runners.

"Make way, let the county magistrate pass!"

A yamen runner with a knife shouted loudly to the onlookers.

Everyone quickly made way for the county magistrate.

The county magistrate came to the bottom of the wall and looked at the scene in front of him. He felt cold all over, his stomach churning and he almost vomited!

He turned around and walked quickly to the city gate, away from the bodies that were about to be smashed into pulp. He took a few deep breaths and felt better. Then he pointed over there and asked in a low voice: "Who are these dead people?"

"Your Excellency, these are the heads of the four families in the city, the Huo family, the Zhao family, the Wang family, and the Liu family, as well as their family members and confidants!"

The bailiff respectfully clasped his fists and reported that he had seen these corpses very early today. He was shocked to see that they were all well-known figures in the city. He was also very curious, so he quietly went to the vicinity of the four prefectures to investigate.

"Why didn't anyone from these four families come to report the case and collect the bodies?"

The county magistrate looked puzzled.

"Sir, I heard that there are no legitimate masters in these four mansions anymore. The servants' indentures were burned by thieves, and they all fled in all directions, so there is no one to collect their bodies!"

The bailiff sighed and said, "Alas, who could have thought that a once prosperous family could be overthrown overnight!"

"Do you know why the thieves targeted these four families?"

The county magistrate continued to ask, his palms were sweaty at this moment.

"Sir, please look at this. It lists the evil deeds these four families have done. On the white cloth hanging on the city wall is written 'Notorious for evil deeds, deserve death'. I heard that all the wealth of the four mansions was robbed. Maybe they have done too many evil deeds on a daily basis, and someone can't stand it!"

After the yamen runner finished speaking, he saw the county magistrate looking at the contents of the paper with a pale face and remained silent, so he asked again: "Sir, how should we deal with this matter?"

The county magistrate stroked his beard and thought for a while. If you looked closely, you would find that his hands were shaking slightly.

"Pass the order and throw these bodies into the mass grave! Wash the outside of the city wall clean, and we will ignore this matter. Tell the public that we have been investigating, but there is no clue!"

After saying this, the county magistrate hurried away with a team of yamen runners.

Seeing that the county magistrate had left, the bailiff hurriedly ordered people to clean up the corpse and started working.

Lin Xi took Xiaobai and Xiaohong and quietly hid in a dense forest, then a thought flashed through his mind and he entered the boundary bead.

After a while, a boy dressed in coarse cloth appeared there.

He quickly ran out of the woods, entered the city, and a quarter of an hour later, appeared in the backyard of the county government office.

In the backyard of the county government office, the county magistrate was instructing the housekeeper to do something, saying that he would be living in the backyard permanently in the future, and asked the housekeeper to transfer all the guards over to protect the backyard as tightly as an iron gate, and not even a fly would be allowed in!

"Butler, please do this quickly!"

The county magistrate leaned back in his chair, his face pale, and urged.

The housekeeper hurried back to call for someone.

The county magistrate had just breathed a sigh of relief when suddenly the door of the room slammed and closed by itself!

"who!"

He was so scared that he stood up suddenly and looked around in panic.

"Have you done too many bad things, magistrate? Are you panicking after seeing these four families get their comeuppance?"

Lin Xi walked out slowly from the side, sat on the chair, crossed his arms and sneered.

"Who are you? What do you want to do? Someone come here! Someone come here!"

The county magistrate ran to the door in panic, trying to open it and call someone in!

But no matter how hard he tried, the door wouldn't open!

Lin Xi raised her eyebrows and sneered. She asked Xiaobai to guard outside, so it would be strange if he could get out!

The county magistrate was so frightened that he slid to the ground and leaned against the door, trembling as he asked, "What on earth do you want to do?"

Lin Xi walked up to the county magistrate, pinched his mouth open, and popped a pill into his mouth.

"What did you give me to eat?"

The county magistrate was so frightened that he reached into his throat, trying to spit out the pill!

"The pill melts in your mouth and you can't spit it out, so don't waste your time!"

Lin Xi sneered twice and sat back in his chair.

The county magistrate rolled on the ground holding his stomach and screaming in pain!

Half a minute later, Lin Xi saw that the county magistrate no longer had the strength to shout. He looked like he was fished out of the water. He held his stomach and gasped for breath!

She came to him and fed him another pill, and the county magistrate's stomachache instantly disappeared.

Trembling all over, he knelt and crawled in front of Lin Xi, kowtowed and begged: "My dear, if you have any instructions, just tell me, please don't torture me like this anymore!"

"Oh! The county magistrate is quite sensible! You have been poisoned by me. You need to swallow an antidote every month. Otherwise, you will feel the pain of your intestines and stomach rupturing like today, until you die in pain!"

Seeing the fear in the county magistrate's eyes, Lin Xi nodded in satisfaction and continued, "I want you to be an honest and upright county magistrate in the future. Investigate the injustice in Linshan County thoroughly and make all the evildoers pay for their crimes. Also, settle the refugees well, be a good official, and protect the people under your jurisdiction. This will atone for the crimes you committed before!"

"Yes, yes, everything is up to you!"

The county magistrate kept nodding his head in agreement.

Lin Xi stood up and walked to the door of the room, opened it, and the dazzling sunlight shone in from outside. She turned to the county magistrate and said, "Try to live in the sunshine. After a while, you will no longer want to be that dark self!"

After saying that, Lin Xi disappeared in a few flashes. Xiaobai had been received into the boundary bead before she opened the door.

The county magistrate raised his hand to block the glaring sunlight, then knelt on the ground in silence.

"My Lord, what is the matter with you?"

When the housekeeper came back with his men, he saw his master sitting on the ground in a daze, his clothes soaked. He hurried forward to support him.

"It's okay, housekeeper, I need to take a shower and change clothes!"

Upon hearing this, the housekeeper hurriedly ordered his servants to boil hot water, while he helped the county magistrate into the inner room.

After changing clothes, the county magistrate came to the front hall and ordered people to turn out all the files, turning out all the cases that had been deliberately wrongly convicted. He ordered people to arrest the real offenders and at the same time sent people to find the victims and start overturning the verdict!

People were also sent to build shelter for the refugees outside the city and to open warehouses to provide porridge!

After Lin Xi left the backyard of the county government office, he quietly entered the Jiezhu and restored his original appearance, and then went to Huichun Hall.

"Miss Lin Xi is here. It's noon now. Uncle Zhou invites you to have dinner at Fulin Restaurant!"

Shopkeeper Zhou was wiping the medicine cabinet. He looked up and saw Lin Xi coming in. He hurriedly came over and said cheerfully.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou. Let's do it another day. I have something important to tell Jun Moxie. Please send someone to deliver the letter as soon as possible!"

Lin Xi followed Manager Zhou to the side room, took out the letter and handed it to him.

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhou quickly took it, summoned the secret guard that Jun Moyue had left for him, handed the letter to him, and after giving him some instructions, the secret guard flashed away to deliver the letter.

"Lin Xi girl, I wonder how the pills are doing?"

Shopkeeper Zhou looked at Lin Xi eagerly and asked.

"In two days, the first batch of pills will be ready!"

Hearing Lin Xi's words, Shopkeeper Zhou clapped his hands happily and said with a smile: "Great, the master has left someone to deliver the pills. I'll let Quanfu take them there in two days!"

After the two chatted for a few more sentences, Lin Xi said goodbye and left.
