Liu Huaming was extremely angry and gritted his teeth and glared at Kong Deshang, but she found that Kong Deshang actually smiled smugly. She couldn't bear it anymore. She walked around Yao Guangqi and rushed forward, slapped Kong Deshang more than a dozen times in a row. Finally, she was still not satisfied and punched Kong Deshang hard at the bridge of his nose. There was only a creaking sound from the crack of the nose. At the same time, Kong Deshang's nose was suddenly bleeding.

Kong Deschamps covered his nose and pointed at Liu Huaming and cursed: "Thief, traitor, you dare to hit me, sir, she dared to hurt people in front of you. She is too arrogant and doesn't take you seriously at all."

Before Liu Huaming could finish his words, he reached out to hold his chin and pulled it down hard. Kong Deschamps' chin immediately lifted it down, and he shouted in pain, but he couldn't explain anything.

At this time, the county magistrate walked up to Kongtou and patted Kongtou on the shoulder: "You are usually diligent in doing things, so I promoted you, but it is not the first time you are greedy for money and profit. You can no longer be the leader and manager. From today on, you will be demoted to the last team and do chores."

The county magistrate then turned to Liu Shan and his father and daughter and said, "They have never violated the law. This is the only way I can do to deal with it. You can only be wronged. However, you caught Ma Dasca and took the evidence of the leader of the Kong clan to conquer bandits. Not only will the county praise you, but I will also report it to the government and the province, and then report it to the Ministry of Rites step by step. Not only will there be a prize for the prize, but the court will recommend the virtuous again in the future. I will give priority to Mr. Liu. Are you still satisfied with this handling?"

Liu Shantong felt that the county magistrate's words were impeccable, so he bowed and said, "Personal praise is insignificant. The little girl captured the thief, and it was not for the sake of praise. It was just that Kong Deshan and Ma Dacai, who did many evil things, and the county magistrate..."

The county magistrate immediately smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. I will be promoted to the court now. I will be there. I will be a judge."

On that day, the county magistrate was held within half an hour of the trial. The bandit leader Ma Dacca had caused trouble in the village for many years and was sentenced to death. The rest of the bandits were all exiled. Kong Deshan, who colluded with Ma Dacca to do evil. For different things, the other bandits were only exiled for 500 miles, while Kong Deshan was exiled to Peiping, and was the farthest among all exiled troops.

That night, the county magistrate specially held a banquet in the county government for the three masters and apprentices and the Liu family father and daughter. Before the banquet, Yao Guangqi felt that even if the banquet was not a Batango table, he must have a complete meal. Therefore, Yao Guangqi went to the banquet with the idea of ​​having a big meal. However, when the guests were invited to the table, everyone was surprised to find that there were only four simple dishes on the table, and they were all vegetarian dishes. Several people were surprised and looked at each other. The county magistrate saw everyone's doubts. Although it was a bit embarrassing, he still quickly smoothed out. "Please take a seat, but if there are no dishes, the two most important meat dishes will be ready." He said that, he sat down first in his master's seat.

After everyone sat down, the county magistrate smiled and said, "Please treat you to dinner. Although the dishes are a little slower, I paid for them all out of my own pockets, all of which are clean money, and there is absolutely no folk paste."

As soon as he finished speaking, a steamed fish was served on the table. The county magistrate smiled and asked the dish, "The main dish is here, everyone treat it. I will not drink alcohol. Please be as casual as you want, don't be restricted."

Everyone was a little reserved, but they didn't expect that the county magistrate's banquet was so casual, but they didn't expect that the county magistrate was so easy-going and easy, and the Liu family's father and daughter were still a little unwilling to let go, but Bu Suanzi had already picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish meat, and chewed it. Yao Guangqi was not so casual. He picked a small piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and then gave a thumbs up: "It's so fresh!"

Faced with Yao Guangqi's praise, the county magistrate seemed very happy and introduced proudly: "It's good to have freshness. I asked them to catch this fish in the river outside the city in the afternoon. They were still alive when they were brought back."

Liu Shantong ate the food with a reserved taste and couldn't help but exclaim: "We have heard of it for a long time. When we saw it today, it was indeed well-known. The people in our village said that you are the one who played the lightest in the previous county magistrates. It is really a blessing for the people who have good officials like you in our county."

The county magistrate put down his chopsticks, took a deep breath and said, "When it comes to fighting, I am really ashamed. The court paid too little salary and life is still barely possible. But being an official still has to support a group of people, I also have to give money to others, and they have to live a life to support the family. If I collect grain and don't fight, I can't support these people. After all, I can't do so many things by myself. But I really want to kick it. I'm really not enough to support so many people. I'm really embarrassed to see these farmers' hard harvests in a year!"

After saying this, the county magistrate seemed a little guilty and put down his chopsticks and lowered his head without saying a word. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Liu Shantong quickly smoothed out and said, "My dear family, with such a loving heart, we are already very grateful to the people, not to mention that the adults have always been suing for prisons and Qingming, promoting water conservancy, and promoting education. Which of the people in the county does not exaggerate the wisdom of others?"

When Yao Guangqi heard the words of Fenghua Family, he quickly asked: "There are still people in the adult family who are officials in the court?"

The county magistrate said calmly: "That's all from many years ago, and it's not worth mentioning."

Seeing that the other party did not say anything, Yao Guangqi obviously intended to act low-key, so he stopped asking. However, Liu Shantong helped explain: "You don't know, the adult's surname is Liu Huilian, and his father is the former Censor Zhongcheng, and the world-famous Mr. Liu Ji and Liu Bowen."

After Liu Shan said the same thing, Yao Guangqi and his disciples were stunned at the same time. Yao Guangqi looked at Liu Lian and looked at the county magistrate again. He was in his thirties, calm and heavy, humble and polite, impartial and selfless, honest and honest, not arrogant with his family background, but only relying on his own talents to benefit the people of the people. He is really a rare good official. Yao Guangqi couldn't help leaving the table and bowed deeply to Liu Lian. Liu Lian quickly stood up and saluted him. The two of them appreciated each other and then held hands to return to the table.

At this moment, the last meat dish happened to be on the stage. When everyone saw that except Liu Lian, everyone was frowning. It turned out that this was a large pot of water.

Let me explain here that people in the Ming Dynasty did not eat water, and the water began to enter the menu of our Chinese people in general, which was a matter after the Qing Dynasty.

Liu Lian saw the embarrassment of everyone, smiled and grabbed a large mouthful of pork liver and put it in his mouth. He finished it in a few bites. Then he invited everyone to say, "These things are not allowed to be on the table on weekdays. Some of them are for domestic animals, but they have another advantage, they are cheap. I have tried it repeatedly. As long as I use thick sauce and braised them, the taste is still good. I am a poor official, and it is the most practical to eat this."
