The next morning
Emperor Jing had just woken up, and Guo Tianyang was already standing by his side, waiting for him to get up.
There was a side room in the house specially prepared for servants, so Guo Tianyang slept in the room.
After getting up, Emperor Jing stretched lazily and said, "It's amazing that the bed in this inn is even sweeter than that in the palace."
After the long journey and mental shock yesterday afternoon, I finally had a good sleep.
Guo Tianyang brought over the basin and face towel and said, "Yes, this bed is very soft. I saw it last night and it has twelve layers of cushions underneath! It is really comfortable!"
Emperor Jing took the towel and wiped his face, saying, "Well, let's eat, and then go out for a walk."
The breakfast is simple, just porridge and some side dishes.
However, Emperor Jing ate with gusto: "I didn't expect that even this side dish is so delicious. Haha, it seems that my life as an emperor is not as enjoyable as that of a small seventh-rank official."
Guo Tianyang bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I think this person has no taboos in his behavior. He needs to be reprimanded!"
"Moreover, Taoyuan County is full of waste and extravagant lifestyles. This evil trend must not be allowed to continue!"
Emperor Jing snorted coldly, "Why do you have to say anything? Live a luxurious life? Does money fall from the sky? People in such a remote place live a rich life. If all the counties and cities in the world can live a luxurious life like this, I will be so happy!"
"You are really going backwards as you grow older!"
Guo Tianyang didn't dare to defend himself. He just stood aside, looking aggrieved and pretending to be a quail.
"After eating, go out for a walk."
.....
After packing up briefly, the two of them went out to the street.
Emperor Jing carefully looked at every detail of the street. There was no dirty street or alley, and there was not a single beggar or scoundrel.
Moreover, the common people were not covered in dirt. After changing their clothes, they looked like scholars.
Emperor Jing kept it in mind.
When he walked to the crowded place, Guo Tianyang couldn't help but feel a little alert.
Suddenly, I heard a singing voice.
"You love me~ I love you~ Taoyuan milk tea is sweet!"
"You love me~ I love you~ Taoyuan milk tea is sweet!"
What the hell! ?
Emperor Jing and Guo Tianyang looked sideways at the same time and found that it was a stall selling tea.
At the door, an honest middle-aged man was singing and selling things, surrounded by a group of people.
Guo Tianyang was disdainful!
What the hell is that? It's such a dirty song, it's really polluting our ears!
This Taoyuan County is getting more and more weird!
"Pooh!"
Guo Tianyang couldn't help but spit on the ground.
As soon as the spit fell to the ground, an old lady wearing a red armband jumped out from somewhere.
It just happened to block the two people's way.
Then he stretched out his hand, spread his five fingers and said sharply: "Spitting on the ground will be fined five cents!"
Emperor Jing frowned and looked at the old lady in front of him. She was wearing a cloth dress with a red ribbon on her sleeves with the word "health worker" written on it.
Guo Tianyang is unhappy, and we are going to vomit in the palace!
Is there anyone who cares about spitting on the street? Fresh!
So he also retorted sharply: "Who are you? Why?"
The old lady snorted coldly: "You must be from out of town! Spitting is not allowed in this county. You will be fined five cents!"
"This is the rule set by the county magistrate himself. If you don't agree, come with me to see the magistrate!"
Guo Tianyang's eyes widened. "I spit and you want to take me to see the official! ?
Just as he was about to scold, Emperor Jing's voice came coldly: "Give me money."
Guo Tianyang had no choice but to take out the money obediently.
The old lady smiled with satisfaction, and was about to leave when she was suddenly stopped by Emperor Jing.
"Old man, we are new here and have some questions to ask. Is that convenient?"
The old lady looked him up and down, and seeing that he had a good attitude, she said, "Go ahead."
“Why are there no beggars in Taoyuan County?”
The old lady was amused: "You are such an interesting person, you want to find a beggar? We don't have any here."
"Our county magistrate is kind-hearted and cannot bear to see the poor, so he took them all away to dig ditches!"
Emperor Jing suddenly choked on his breath.
Guo Tianyang said sinisterly, "Master, this person is a scumbag! He is simply destroying the reputation of officials."
"How do you talk like that! How do you talk like that!" the old lady was anxious.
"No one in Taoyuan County dares to say that our county magistrate is not a good person! If you were not considered as outsiders, you would have been beaten long ago!"
Guo Tianyang said indignantly: "Of course not! How can you force beggars to dig ditches? Isn't this killing people?"
“You know nothing…” Before the old lady could finish her words, a shout suddenly came from the street.
"Someone is having a lawsuit! Come and watch the fun!"
The old lady immediately perked up upon hearing this and ran away in a flash.
"Let's go! Go and take a look!"
When Emperor Jing saw this unusual scene, he quickened his pace and followed.
Guo Tianyang was still muttering behind him, and then he followed.
As they trotted along the crowd to the gate of the yamen, Emperor Jing and the other two were stunned again.
In front of me is a building covering a huge area. A rough glance shows that including the square in front of it is at least more than 20 acres!
In front of the government office is a stone archway with "Taoyuan County Government Office" inscribed on it. Behind it is a square paved with stone slabs, and a wide and long staircase leads to the building.
The county government office is a three-story building covering a large area. Its overall color is grayish white, revealing its coldness and majesty.
There is a sense of oppression standing at the bottom of the stairs.
Guo Tianyang opened his mouth wide in surprise and said, "There is such a county government office! It is said that officials don't build government offices. How much money will this cost?"
Emperor Jing did not say anything. He took a deep look at the archway and then walked in.
Guo Tianyang followed closely.
Walking up the stairs to the inner hall, the two of them regained the familiar feeling. Except for the larger area, the decoration inside was the same as that of a normal county government office.
There is a huge plaque hanging above the room [Hanging High, Mirror Bright]
At this moment, the people have already gathered outside the barrier.
There was one person kneeling and one standing in the hall, and on both sides, yamen runners stood upright holding water and fire sticks.
At this moment...everyone is waiting for the county magistrate to appear.
.......
Fang Zhengyi raised his arms with an impatient look on his face, and Xiaotao was behind him helping him put on the official uniform.
"Damn it! It's not even noon yet and there are already troublemakers coming to complain? Can't we sleep?"
"I finally have two months of free time and it's time to go to court again!"
Xiaotao pursed her lips and said nothing.
"What should I eat when I come back? Oh, I haven't had breakfast yet, I'm hungry." Fang Zheng smacked his lips.
"Eat beef." Xiao Tao kept patting her official uniform to make it smooth.
It's a bit dusty because I haven't worn it for a long time.
"Beef? Isn't there anything new? I'm tired of it!"
Xiao Tao rolled her eyes and said, "I've packed it up, go ahead, I'll go cook."
Fang Zheng flicked his sleeves and looked at them one by one with satisfaction.
"Let's go! Go to court!"
