Chapter 229 Fishing in troubled waters
Listening to the official's words, Liu Shian had other thoughts in his heart. The county magistrate, the officials, were all very well-behaved. He had not seen this county magistrate for a few days, and he didn't know what kind of view it was.
Liu Shi secretly thought about the last time he came to see the county magistrate, the most powerful official in the county, just like the fallen leaves in autumn, withering and decaying, without any chance of life. His face had an expression of hopelessness and words in his mouth seemed to have lost his official position.
The new governor of Dongzhou has arrived, but he has not taken action against the county magistrate of this fourth county. First, the new governor has just taken office and seems to have not yet remembered what the county magistrate has done. Second, perhaps the new governor has given this adult the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, so he has not come to take charge of this county magistrate.
No matter what kind of speculation, the county magistrate has now died in the county due to the Mutuo of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Although Dugu died at the hands of Liu Shinan, he was not at the hands of this master. If he wanted to take this credit, the martial san officials in Dongzhou would blow up his mansion.
This county magistrate neglected his duties and failed to implement correct instructions many times, causing Mu Tuo to escape, causing countless casualties and wounded officers and soldiers in the county. This crime is too great.
Liu Shian is just trying to see what tricks this county magistrate has done. If his opinion is not adopted, it will be harmless to come out today to listen to other people's water control methods.
After waiting in that hall for a long time, the county magistrate came late. The county magistrate had already arrived, but he wanted to give some advice to these literati, so he was still not here for a long time.
In addition to this reason, the county magistrate also asked someone to find out Liu Shian's documents. He wanted to see what kind of suggestions did this young master have.
When the county magistrate saw Liu Shian's document, he was stunned.
"Liu Shian, dare you to play with this official? Now the Japanese official can't kill you." The county magistrate was very angry and raised his eyebrows and threw Liu Shian's documents on the desk, making a loud noise.
After reading Liu Shian's documents, the adult really couldn't wait. Then he left the house and walked into the hall. He wanted to clean up Liu Shian.
The county magistrate was still wearing an official and a felt hat, but his expression did not look like what Liu Shian saw before, and his complexion was much better.
When the county magistrate arrived, everyone also left the table to salute: "Gourmet to the county magistrate."
The county magistrate sat down in the most noble position, and there were several officials around him who followed him very much.
The county magistrate said, "Everyone, let's sit down."
Everyone sat down, but there was no other voice, waiting for the county magistrate to speak.
At this time, the seventh-rank official brought the officers and soldiers to bring the water control documents and booklets of the people, and they were all thick and placed on the table next to the county magistrate.
The county magistrate patted the documents, pointed to one of the documents, and said, "These documents and suggestions are the methods I received yesterday on water control, as well as suggestions and countermeasures for how to manage Yunhe once and for all in the future."
The county magistrate said again: "Yesterday, Japanese officials met those literati one by one, and then the result was that they were all a group of unknown things. They talked randomly for a little money, saying something."
As soon as the words fell, all the documents under his palm flew out and were pushed to the ground by this adult w.
The documents fell, and the hall was filled with a lot of rain because of the arrival of everyone. The ground was also very wet and muddy. Then the white documents were all wet, and then the muddy, the paper was wet, and then the words were wet by the water marks of the book, and the thick ink was flowed out.
This scene fell into the eyes of everyone, and it was a big enough threat to make everyone as quiet as a cicada, no one dared to say anything, and many people were a little restless.
They originally thought it was a glorious thing to be invited into the mansion, but now it seems that they know that they have entered the mouth of a hungry wolf and may be bitten at any time.
Liu Shian also narrowed his eyes and looked at the county magistrate.
The county magistrate said with a cold face again: "I am the highest official in the county and everything needs to be taken care of. However, if someone comes to mess with me, I will not tolerate me. So yesterday, more than 20 people were beaten with sticks and then bombarded. Today, Japanese officials do not want anyone to be beaten with sticks again."
When this adult spoke like this, outside the hall, there were four or five officers and soldiers, all of whom were holding houses and a huge bench, waiting outside the door, waiting for the arrival of the person beaten by the stick.
When the county magistrate spoke, his eyes swept across Liu Shian and stayed in front of Liu Shian for a long time.
"Damn, this county magistrate, I won't come to take revenge on me today."
Liu Shi secretly remembered that when he saw this county magistrate, he ruthlessly revealed the ugly face of the county magistrate. Thinking of the documents he submitted today, he was so angry.
At this time, the county magistrate's speech and tone became much more relaxed, and he said, "I am not an unreasonable person. I know that you are also thinking about managing floods in the county. Today I will give the people here a chance. If there is no suitable water control plan, I can leave now, and I will not pursue any investigation."
No one stood up all of a sudden, but they looked at each other, waiting for the person who stood up and left, but after waiting for a long time, no one stood up.
The county magistrate looked at everyone and said, "It seems that everyone is ready today."
At this time, Liu Shinan stood up and said, "Mr. County Magistrate, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable today, so I'll say goodbye first."
Liu Shi's secret move was about to leave, but everyone's eyes had never left this talented man.
Su Qin said: "Young Master Liu, I just argued that my water control method has not yet had an end. Isn't it good to leave like this?"
Some people also looked at Liu Shi and laughed secretly.
The county magistrate looked at Liu Shian and said, "Caizi Liu, is it also here to escape the situation and want to get a thousand taels of silver reward? In my heart, Mr. Liu is not such a person? It really disappoints me!"
Listening to the words of the county magistrate, Liu Shinan knew that this adult had definitely read his documents and was not giving him a way out. Moreover, everyone is watching him now, and he cannot leave like this.
"I am Liu Shian, will I be afraid of you?" Liu Shian thought to himself.
Then, Liu Shi secretly pointed at everyone and the county magistrate and smiled, "My joking, I suddenly felt that my health was getting better again. Let's continue, where did you say just now?"
