In the Lantian County government office, Magistrate Bao Longxing, who had only recently taken office, was having some headaches.
He now desperately hopes that he will fall seriously ill.
Ideally, it should be a serious illness where the patient is bedridden and unable to move.
And it's contagious, which makes it even better.
Last night, the newly arrived Marquis of Anping had someone bring him to the Marquis's residence.
Then I told him something.
Tomorrow someone will file a lawsuit against the current Grand Secretary Yan Song, and we hope he will take action.
That one sentence startled him so much that he didn't even know how he got back.
I didn't sleep a wink last night, I just can't figure it out.
Go ahead and accuse Grand Secretary Yan in the Forbidden City.
What brings you to my humble county government office?
This is something a lowly county magistrate like myself should be handling.
The previous magistrate of Lantian County had died less than half a year ago, and his body was still warm.
Am I going to go and be with him?
With this in mind, Bao Longxing decided to pack his things and run away that very night.
As soon as they stepped out of the county government office, they found a large group of soldiers surrounding the entrance.
The leader was even more polite, telling him to get back to the yamen.
Upon seeing the leading official, they noticed he was wearing a badge from the Eastern Depot.
Bao Longxing rolled back defiantly.
Now, sitting in the main hall, looking at the yamen runners around him, his calves couldn't help but tremble.
He swore to God that he had never seen these yamen runners before.
No, I did meet one, that was Wang Zhongxian, one of the three chief inspectors of the Eastern Depot.
The last time I saw him was the last time.
When the Duke of Lantian County was executed along with his entire family, he glanced at Wang Zhongxian from afar.
He was surprised to see them again so soon, which made him unhappy.
He felt that this might be the last time they would see each other.
It was noon by which time Sister Pomegranate had finally knelt all the way to the entrance of the county government office.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhao Hu and the others standing in front of the county government office.
Okay, now the government officials are on our side, and the people behind us are also on our side, so there shouldn't be any problems.
She stood at the entrance of the yamen, looking at the grievance drum that hadn't been sounded for several years, and with a determined look in her eyes, she picked up the drumsticks and began to strike.
"Thump!"
A drumbeat silenced the noisy crowd.
They hadn't heard that voice in a long time.
Sister Pomegranate tapped faster and faster.
It's as if they want to type out all the grievances of the world all at once.
"Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump thump thump..."
Bao Longxing walked out of the yamen gate, trembling.
Who is beating the drum to appeal for justice?
Sister Pomegranate knelt on the ground, holding up a blood-written letter and shouting loudly: "I, Yuan Dan, accuse the current Grand Secretary Yan Song of forcibly abducting me, raping and kidnapping me in broad daylight, embezzling and perverting the law, colluding with the Liao people, causing my family to be destroyed and my life to be lost, and now he is even trying to kill me to silence me."
Magistrate Bao looked at the blood-written letter with a bitter expression on his face.
How he wished it were all a dream.
Just as he was hesitating, Yan Shifan arrived with a large entourage.
"Damn it, which lowly commoner dares to sue my father? Let me see."
He rode his horse arrogantly and charged over.
I had just rushed to within about ten meters of the crowd when I heard a loud bang.
The horse beneath him seemed to have been hit by something and fell to the ground, causing him to roll several times as well.
"Damn it, who hit my horse? Who?"
Yan Shifan had also learned some martial arts, so when he fell, he dissipated the force and was not injured.
The surrounding people quickly dispersed to both sides, not daring to make a sound.
Enraged, he cracked his whip and charged toward the county government office.
When Sister Pomegranate saw Yan Shifan, she began to tremble all over.
The fear of almost being killed before surged into my heart.
Miao Qingqing sensed her unusual behavior, so she took her hand and channeled some of her inner energy into her to calm her down.
"It's alright, my boss is the best in the world, he wouldn't dare to do anything to you."
Yan Shifan walked to the entrance of the yamen and grinned: "I was wondering who it was. It's Sister Shiliu from Yihong Courtyard. What, you whore, what grievance do you have to cry out for?"
"Come on, tell me, what grievance have you suffered?"
Yan Shifan, his face contorted with rage, shouted and reached out to grab her.
As a result, Miao Qingqing kicked him in the crotch, and everyone around heard the sound of the egg breaking.
The surrounding people gasped in shock and instinctively clamped their legs together.
Suddenly, the temperature around us rose a little.
Yan Shifan's men helped the kneeling young master up and prepared to arrest Miao Qingqing, but they were stopped by Wang Zhongxian's men.
Just as the situation reached a stalemate, a voice came from over.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I've only just taken office in Lantian County and haven't even gotten familiar with my fiefdom yet, how come there are already people gathering to cause trouble?"
Li Chang'an, dressed in the robes of a Confucian sage, walked over, fanning himself with a plastic fan, followed by Chen Da and others.
Yan Shifan's men prepared to step forward to stop him: "Yan's office..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Da kicked him away and then smashed all his teeth with the scabbard.
Li Chang'an waved his fan and smiled as he bowed to the people around him.
"I am Li Chang'an, Marquis of Anping. Greetings to all the elders and fellow villagers."
A group of people looked at Li Chang'an, who was handsome, dashing, elegant, and talented.
Looking at Yan Shifan, who was as fat as a pig.
I couldn't help but make comparisons in my mind.
This newly arrived marquis seems quite good.
Li Chang'an walked up to Sister Shiliu, used his fan to lift up the blood-written letter, and glanced at it.
