Chapter 16 Goodbye Yunfei

The day after Ye Xiaotian agreed to pretend to be Aidianshi, Huxian officials, who had always been accustomed to shirking responsibility, joined hands for the first time and used all channels to widely publicize the news of Aidianshi's appointment to all walks of life. Hua Magistrate even posted a notice at the city gate.

Ye Xiaotian officially became the direct subordinate of the Grand Master Dian Shi who commanded the third yamen runners of Huxian County, and the direct subordinate of Meng County Chief. Except for the officials who appeared in the second hall of the county yamen and their very few confidants that day, no one in the entire Huxian knew that this Aidian Shi was a fake.

Considering that Ye Xiaotian did not understand the many rules of the county government, County Magistrate Meng transferred Li Yuncong to him to help him handle chores to prevent this Lord Dianshi from showing his fear. At the same time, Su Xuntian, who was formerly the leader of the Zaoban team, was also transferred to Ye Xiaotian and became his deputy.

Su Xuntian is the younger brother of Su Ya, the wife of the county priest. Although he was born in a family of poets and books, he was ignorant and had no choice but to become a clerk and followed his brother-in-law to the southwest. Xu Shi did not never have the opportunity to be an official. He had to survive and accumulate political achievements. Occasionally, there were very few small quotas for them. Although the hope was slim, it was also an opportunity.

However, in Hu County, even Su Xuntian's brother-in-law Hua Qingfeng was just a puppet, and he had no chance to be promoted. Besides, Su Xuntian was not good at all. The only one who was talented was to eat, drink, go for a gamble. At the beginning, the magistrate Hua worked hard to cultivate him, but now he was already disappointed with him, hoping that he would not cause trouble for himself and be content.

Ye Xiaotian took Li Yuncong, the "left arm" who was specifically responsible for monitoring him and Su Xuntian, the "right arm" who was specifically responsible for helping him cause trouble, and began his career in Huxian.

Ye Xiaotian knew very well that he was just an impostor. Ai Feng had family, a teacher in the same year, had too many social relationships, and he did not look like his twin brothers. Even if all the officials in the second hall of the county government unanimously agreed to let him pretend forever, it would be impossible.

Ye Xiaotian did not believe the judgment of County Magistrate Meng’s death on Aidianshi’s death. Aidianshi’s death was clearly a murder, but County Magistrate Wu said it was intentional murder. But what if the judgment of County Magistrate Wu’s judgment was really correct? Why should he take risks as bait?

If Aidianshi's death was really just an accident and the Huxian officials knew this, then it would be a conspiracy to find themselves pretending to be Aidianshi. Ye Xiaotian could not guess their real plans, but could infer that if this was the case, they would definitely not be kind to themselves.

Ye Xiaotian did not expect that they would "kill lives and eliminate disasters". At that time, officials from almost the entire Hu County were gathered in the second hall of the county government. Who dared to be so unscrupulous that they could do something like killing people and silencing them vigorously?

Ye Xiaotian obviously underestimated the courage of Huxian officials, but it was not his fault. Most of the officials he had contacted in the past were Beijing officials. Those Beijing officials may be greedy or treacherous, but they are inevitably more taboos at the feet of the emperor, so how could they be as lawless as these local officials?

For Ye Xiaotian, a small fish swimming out of Xingbu Street, he still needs to constantly explore and adapt to this unfamiliar environment and continue to grow through battles to have the opportunity to stand at the top of the food chain.

Today, Ye Xiaotian went to the Shi family to investigate the case.

Shi Bixing, the shopkeeper of the "Jiyidian" grain store, is the first-ranked big grain gentry in several nearby prefectures and counties. Yesterday, he was walking in the pine forest in the back garden and died. Ye Xiaotian had already been there yesterday and carried his body back to the county government office. He was tested by the offender, saying that his throat was crushed and died.

Although Shi Bixing was dead, his family was all safe and his property was not lost at all. The bloody cases that occurred in neighboring counties were very different, which made Magistrate Hua, Meng County Cheng and others breathe a sigh of relief. If the evil stars of the bloody cases in neighboring counties really flew to this county, it would be troublesome.

However, as a very influential Daliang Gun, Shi Bixing suddenly died in his back garden. Although there are bloody cases in neighboring counties, it is not a very sensational case, and it is still necessary to investigate. In any case, we must give an explanation to the above.

As the official seal of the county, Hua Magistrate Hua is in a state of great trouble, but as the official in charge of public security, the county magistrate Meng also has no choice but to investigate the case in person, but they can only explain it to Ye Xiaotian. Ye Xiaotian's false history is fake in their hearts, but it is true in the hearts of the people of Huxian. How can they put him aside?

Ye Xiaotian led people to take away the body yesterday and surveyed the scene. Today, he took people to visit the Shi family, inquire about the details, and visited some friends who were close to Manager Shi.

Ye Xiaotian led a group of constables and suddenly saw a group of people surrounding the intersection ahead. At a critical moment when a family murder occurred in the neighboring county and a major murder case occurred in this county, the constables did not dare to be careless. They immediately held their weapons tightly and shouted loudly: "Master Dianshi is traveling, and the idle people are avoiding it."

Seeing that those people had several people from the Miao and Yi ethnic groups, and a brother under Qi Mu, a great tycoon in the county, they would not avoid them if they were timid. The salary was often owed, and the people from the inspection department were inconvenient to offend them. The people under Qi Mu did not dare to offend them. The people from the Miao and Yi villages would only act as invisible and protect the adults from passing the roadside. However, when they shouted today, the group of people surrounding the roadside immediately dodged.

"This new classic in this county is so majestic? Everyone gives face."

The several constables were a little surprised at first, but then suddenly realized that they were just pretending to be powerful.

The bloody case in the neighboring county has already shaken the entire Guizhou officialdom. The Administrator and the Grand Chiefs issued instructions one after another. A murder case suddenly occurred in the county. Who would like to have an accident at this time?

Everyone stopped and saw a boy standing at the intersection with a red face and coarse cloth clothes. He was clearly a boy in the mountains, very simple. But although he lived in the downtown city, he stood there, but when he stood there, he gave people a tranquility that was inconsistent with his age and identity.

Ye Xiaotian immediately recognized this person, and he even remembered the name of this person: Hua Yunfei.

For the first time in his life, he saw someone fishing with a long knife, and this man gave him four fish. Although it was night, he only saw one side, but he still remembered the tender and strong face under the raging fire.

Ye Xiaotian walked towards him with a smile. After only three steps, Ye Xiaotian's eyes were attracted to Hua Yunfei's feet. Hua Yunfei had several preys, several brown-crowned suckling falcons, several brocade pheasants, and hares. These preys were not unusual. What attracted Ye Xiaotian's attention was the colorful tiger lying at Hua Yunfei's feet.

It was a real tiger with a round head, short ears, thick and powerful limbs lying on the ground, the long tiger's tail was wrapped around its side, and the orange-yellow fur covered with black stripes was slightly shining in the sun, and the tiger's head was a huge character for king.

Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but look surprised. When he saw this boy that day, he thought the other party was a fisherman, a fisherman who could fish in the turbulent streams of mountain streams, but he didn't expect that this person was actually a skilled hunter who hunted tigers.

"You... are..." Hua Yunfei clearly recognized Ye Xiaotian, but Ye Xiaotian was wearing an official robe at this moment, and he was completely different from his down-and-out appearance that night. Hua Yunfei could not confirm for a moment. He was slightly cramped because of his pomp. No matter how indifferent and transcendent a person was, it was difficult for him to be calm and composed in front of a superior. Everything is unrestrained, and what kind of training is needed. This young man is just a child in the mountains.

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "I still remember the kindness of the four fish. Do you not recognize me anymore?"

Hua Yunfei said in surprise: "Ah! It's really you! You... why are you..."

Ye Xiaotian said: "I am a clerical official in this county. When I first took office, I was in a private visit in those days. I didn't want to be sneaked away from my money and fell into that field."

Hua Yunfei suddenly realized, "So that's it. It turns out that you... you are the one Ai... Lord Ai who was announced by the county government."

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "You don't have to be reserved. I think you are my friend. There is no need to discuss your identity in the officialdom among friends."

Li Yuncong was listening like a hunting dog. Although he saw Ye Xiaotian didn't say anything outrageous, he was impatient with him chatting with a poor hunter in the mountains. Li Yuncong immediately stepped forward and interrupted: "Sir, it's too early, we still have to go..."

"Shut up! I'm talking to someone, where is your turn to interrupt, a bastard!"

Ye Xiaotian's face darkened, and he didn't give Li Yuncong a good look. Not to mention the festivals they had before, Ye Xiaotian didn't want to leave him with face. Anyway, he won't be able to do this history for a long time. Sooner or later, he will pat his butt and leave. Why would he be polite to this villain?

Li Yuncong's face changed, but he had no choice but to retreat aside with a blue face.

Su Xuntian smiled and said, "I don't understand the rules, I don't have any ups and downs!"

Li Yuncong glared at him hatefully. He knew that Ye Xiaotian didn't like him, but he didn't dare to cause trouble again.

Su Xuntian and Ye Xiaotian got along very well, so good that his brother-in-law Hua Qingtian felt incredible.

This guy is not capable, but he relies on his brother-in-law as the county magistrate of the county, so he is a bit arrogant to everyone. Unfortunately, his backer is also a puppet without power. He wants to pretend to be a tiger's power, and no one can buy it. Therefore, he has not been able to get along with anyone in the county government for the past three years.

However, he was very respectful to Ye Xiaotian. As the county magistrate's brother-in-law, Su Xuntian naturally knew Ye Xiaotian's true identity. Moreover, even if Ye Xiaotian was really a dictionary, he might not be flattering. Wu County Magistrate and Wang Zhuan were all officials with real power. He didn't take it seriously? It was really puzzling to see Ye Xiaotian convinced.

The magistrate Hua, including Ye Xiaotian, naturally did not know Su Xuntian's attitude. It started when he went to visit his sister at the back house of the county government office and unexpectedly met Ye Xiaotian's "second sister" Ye Shuiwu.

Ye Xiaotian scolded Li Yuncong, turned around, and said to Hua Yunfei with a kind look: "Brother Yunfei, I still have official duties, so I won't tell you much."

"Okay! You...please walk slowly!"

Hua Yunfei's face turned red. A Dianshi master from the county called him brothers and said that when he returned to the mountain valley, he said that this was something that the village chief even envied. Hua Yunfei, who had always been calm and calm, could no longer hold back.

Ye Xiaotian turned around and was about to leave. Hua Yunfei was impulsive and blurted out: "I caught this tiger and I will have money to get married after I sell it. At that time, please drink my wedding wine, sir."

After Hua Yunfei said this, he immediately regretted it. What is his identity? I’m kind to him, and he really treats him as a friend?

Ye Xiaotian stopped and turned around and smiled, "I want to call my elder brother, sir, I won't go."

Hua Yunfei's face was swollen and red, but his eyes radiated: "Brother!"

Ye Xiaotian nodded and said, "I will definitely arrive on the day you got married!"

Ye Xiaotian waved to him, turned around and was about to leave when he heard a scream from the street: "Come on, come, kill someone!"
