Four yamen runners carried the county magistrate and trotted all the way to the city gate.
The Dianshi rode beside him on horseback.
Everyone has a curiosity about things. The county magistrate was so strange in appearance, and he didn't even try to cover it up. No one had ever seen anything like him, so after taking one look, they couldn't help but take another look.
Then he exchanged glances with his friends beside him, but did not dare to discuss anything blatantly. He just expressed everything with his expressions.
Until an innocent child pointed at the county magistrate on the bed and asked curiously, "Mom, why is that uncle not wearing pants?"
The next second, the child's mouth was covered.
Yan An sat on the roof, laughing so hard that he fell backwards, attracting a lot of people's attention.
"It's the Jade-faced Young Master..."
"Is he throwing money around again? I'm going back to get the sack now."
"By the way, what is this imperial envoy doing in Qingyang?"
One of the bailiffs said, "Dianshi, the Jade-faced Young Master has appeared."
The Dianshi frowned and said, "The most urgent thing is to welcome the imperial envoy. Other things can be put aside for the time being. You can't catch him even if I ask you to."
When they arrived at the city gate, the county magistrate was gently placed on the ground.
The county magistrate took a glance and was shocked. He couldn't help but point to the county lieutenant, motioning him to look over.
County Lieutenant: ...
The county magistrate and the county lieutenant were the second in command in Qingyang. They had been in these positions for many years before the county magistrate took office.
The previous county magistrates were all promoted, but they remained in the same position.
They thought the new county magistrate would promote one of them, but unexpectedly the higher-ups directly arranged a new one and they had nothing to do with it at all.
The county magistrate and the county lieutenant looked at each other, then looked at the highly respected Dianshi, and asked, "Just let the county magistrate come out to meet people naked like this?"
Also, the stitching is really ugly...
Everyone who saw it couldn't help but squeeze their legs together.
At this time, the leader of the ceremonial guards who were waiting beside the carriage spoke up, his tone extremely dissatisfied: "What kind of thing is this that can disgust people? How dare you send it to the Imperial Envoy? Do you know your crime?"
The Dianshi dismounted, lowered his eyebrows, and replied in a low voice: "This is the county magistrate."
Commander: ...
"absurd!"
Everyone was silent.
Lin Yuzhi in the carriage still had his eyes closed, unmoved.
No one present knew better than him who had injured the county magistrate, after all, he was at the scene of the crime.
The Dianshi once again spoke under pressure: "Your Excellency, the county magistrate is here to greet you despite his injuries."
But there was still no response from the carriage.
Seeing this, the Dianshi patted the county magistrate on the cheek, trying to wake him up.
But it is not easy to wake up a person who has fainted from the pain. The Dianshi sighed and said, "My lord, I am doing this for your own good. Please don't blame me. I am sorry."
The Dianshi bent his middle finger and thumb into a circle, then tapped the county magistrate's wound hard.
The effect was immediate, and the county magistrate was awakened by the pain. He almost jumped up and cursed.
"My Lord, you are finally awake!"
The registrar took out a handkerchief from somewhere and wiped the county magistrate's cheek with a look of heartache.
Before the county magistrate realized where he was, he felt a strong chill.
He couldn't believe it, and tremblingly asked, "Where is this official?"
The Dianshi took the opportunity to whisper in the county magistrate's ear: "There is an imperial envoy in the carriage, sir, please be careful about your behavior."
The county magistrate's mind buzzed. He no longer cared about the imperial envoy and subconsciously asked, "Just carry me here like this?"
The Dianshi said, "Don't worry, sir. Your majesty is so great that no one among the people dares to look at you."
The county magistrate's face turned extremely ugly, and until now, no one had covered it for him!
He has lost all his dignity!
The county magistrate standing by said: …
At this time, a cold voice came out from the carriage again: "Interesting."
The ceremonial procession seemed to have received an order and advanced towards the county town. No one paid any attention to the county magistrate who had arrived with injuries.
"Imperial Envoy, Imperial Envoy, can you be so arrogant?"
The magistrate stared.
The county magistrate said respectfully: "Sir, that is natural. The imperial envoy is the incarnation of the emperor. Meeting the imperial envoy is like meeting the emperor."
The county magistrate yelled, "Cover it up now!"
Upon hearing this, the county magistrate hurriedly asked the constable to take off his coat, but was stopped by the registrar: "No, it will affect the healing of your wound. However, you can have four people each hold one corner and cover it lightly."
County Magistrate: …
"Then why didn't you do this when you came?!"
The Dianshi suddenly realized what was going on and sighed in annoyance, "I was afraid that the imperial envoy would blame you, so I was a little anxious and didn't think much about it. Sir, you won't blame me, right?"
County Magistrate: …
The group caught up with the imperial envoy.
The imperial envoy's ceremonial procession followed the official road all the way to the government office.
From not far away came the sound of wild laughter and the cheers of the people.
The carriage stopped because the official road was blocked.
"Sir." The guard leader hesitated, "Someone is throwing money in front."
Lin Yuzhi opened his eyes.
The county magistrate who caught up with them saw this and realized that his storehouse had been robbed again. He shouted angrily, "Scatter them all! Whoever dares to pick up the items, I'll see who dares to pick them up!"
After Yan An scattered the last ingot of silver, he restrained the unruly smile on his lips, and without even looking at the county magistrate, his eyes fell directly on the carriage.
"Today I want everyone to bear witness for me."
Yan An flew down from the roof and stopped ten steps outside the carriage.
His usual nonchalance disappeared from his face, and he became unusually serious instead.
The people seemed to have guessed what he was going to do, and they all couldn't help but become nervous for him.
I heard that the imperial envoy came to investigate the Yan family tragedy eight years ago, but I don't know whether he is willing to conduct a thorough investigation. Maybe it's just a formality.
Yan An took out a wrapped blood letter from his arms, took a deep breath, knelt on his knees facing the carriage, and held the blood letter high above his head.
He said in a clear voice: "I am Yan An, the only son of the Yan family. I am writing this letter in blood, begging the imperial envoy to thoroughly investigate the Yan family case eight years ago."
He was betting that the person in the carriage was a good official who would not go along with the county magistrate.
He was also betting that the person in the carriage was really the Prime Minister.
