Chapter 38: The wise man doesn't say secret words

Liu Yuqi carefully wore his fifth-rank official uniform and sat in the palace hall of Ningxia Town since the sun came out. At this time, the lobby of the prefect was empty, and it became a luxury to find two intact chairs.

There were no yamen runners, no clerks, and no officials under the hall, only Liu Yuqi, the fifth-rank magistrate of the Ming Dynasty.

He sat here since the morning, waiting for the thieves to come to find him, and no one came until the sun set.

When he dies, he usually doesn't feel hungry, and he can't wait for someone to come to kill him, which becomes a serious humiliation. So Liu Yuqi came to the government office and shouted at the empty streets: "Liu Yuqi, the governor of Ningxia Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty, is here, and the thieves are not quick to register!"

He shouted three times in a row, but no one answered, which made Liu Yuqi's heart accumulate so much that he could not stop the grief and anger. He resisted the urge to hit the stone lion to death, and huddled his hands clenched in his sleeves, and returned to the back hall of the government office step by step.

He was the only one in the government office, but the bedroom in the back house was shining with light.

Liu Yuqi snorted coldly, kicked open the door, pointed at the person in the house and said, "Dog thief... why haven't you left yet?"

The moment I saw my old wife, anger immediately turned into anxiety. I rushed to my old wife and grabbed her arm and said hurriedly: "Go away, go quickly."

His wife Liu Tang said in tears: "Master, let me accompany you."

Liu Yuqi's nose was sore and tears flowed down, and he said to his wife: "I am the local magistrate, and I am responsible for defending the territory. It is the right thing to do to repay the emperor's kindness if I die. How can you die? There are white-haired parents in my hometown and young sons under my knees have not yet grown up. This is inseparable from you."

Liu Tangshi looked up at her husband and chuckled, "Sister Du is more insightful than her concubine. She is the election to support all these things. She will take the children away. I am the useless one who is just here to accompany the master. Oh, when I left, I have already helped Sister Du. When we die, she will be the master's wife. She has a good personality and entrusts her parents and children to her. I feel relieved."

Liu Yuqi sighed and said, "It's a fool, Sister Du is from a humble background, how can she become a wife?"

Liu Tang frowned and said, "When things are at this point, why can't the master let go of these trivial things?"

Liu Yuqi said: "Sister Du San was bought by you and stuffed it on my bed while I was drunk..."

Liu Tang said angrily: "Then you didn't let it go!"

Liu Yuqi wanted to quarrel with his wife, but suddenly remembered her current situation and sighed: "You are a dull person. If you marry you for more than ten days, you will still be shy when you see me. Arguing with you is one of the few fun places for me.

Now, I have no mind.”

After saying that, he held his wife and sat at the table, looked at a fish and a plate of celery on the table, touched his belly and said, "I don't feel hungry when I can't see food, but I can't bear the hunger when I see food."

After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating fish. Liu Tang took out a pot of wine from the basket and poured a glass of it for her husband.

"Ha, there is wine!"

Liu Yuqi's eyes lit up, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all, stuffed another pair of chopsticks into his wife's hand and said, "Then you have a good meal, so you can have the strength to walk on the road to Huangquan."

I felt that I was about to die, and Liu Yuqi and his wife simply put aside all their worries and focused on eating, drinking, and making fun of each other, and were living a happy life.

At the second update, no one came to kill them. Liu Yuqi, who felt that he had made a profit, simply picked up his wife and went to bed...

In a night, countless tenderness.

At dawn, the couple looked at each other and smiled. After getting up and washing up, they ate some leftovers from last night. Liu Yuqi brought his wife back to the lobby of Ningxia Prefecture. This time, he gave up half of the seats for his wife to sit...

There were people on the street. The lobby of the government office was facing the street. With the opening of the gate, Liu Yuqi could see it very clearly. The people outside the government office naturally saw the couple clearly.

Slowly, more people appeared on the streets. Ningxia Town seemed to have walked out of the horror of more than a month. Liu Yuqi even saw the old man who set up a stall to sell mutton soup at the front of the government office, and there seemed to be diners on the simple stall.

The couple looked at each other!

Suddenly, Liu Tang found that he was almost snuggling in his husband's arms, and this scene seemed to be clearly seen by the people on the street. A strong sense of shame suddenly spread throughout his body. He screamed and jumped out of his seat and hurried to the back hall.

Liu Yuqi was also a little angry. He thought to himself as a moral gentleman. Now that the matter in the inner house is exposed to public, how can he deal with it in the future?

"Nothing later."

As soon as this thought arose, Liu Yuqi strangled to death himself because of a noise coming out of the government office.

What should come is coming after all.

The shy Liu Tangshi also heard the movement, held her husband's thoughts and forced her shyness to appear again in the lobby again. She took the initiative to hold her husband's hand for the first time in her life, but her other hand held apart scissors tightly in the palm of her hand.

First, a young man with messy hair looked at the lobby and saw Liu Yuqi and his wife glaring at him, they quickly retracted their heads.

After a while, the young man came to the lobby timidly and habitually knelt in front of Liu Yuqi and said, "The young one is here to change the furniture here."

Liu Yuqi snorted contemptuously: "No one can change my seat!"

The young man carefully pointed to the broken furniture in the lobby and said, "Switch to those."

Liu Yuqi closed her eyes and ignored her.

The young man thought the official had agreed, so he ran out of the government office. After a while, he brought a large group of people back to the lobby. After these people came in, they also knelt down to Liu Yuqi, and then... began to clean.

These people worked very hard. After a while, they cleaned the already broken government hall lobby. All the furniture in the lobby was replaced with new furniture. Even the dust-filled dust in the government hall lobby was replaced, and the hole-filled windows were repainted with good translucent paper. Some paper-cut decals for officials were neatly pasted.

Liu Yuqi even heard that someone seemed to be replacing broken tiles on the roof.

More people flocked to the government office, and Liu Yuqi was powerless to stop him, so he could only guard the chair under his butt with his wife!

This guard will last for four days!

A lot of things happened during these four days, and the Ningxia Prefecture Office also underwent earth-shaking changes.

The broken government office has been renovated and the whole government office is full of fresh paint. The garden that no one has paid attention to for a long time has also been neatly cared for by the gardener.

Liu Yuqi and his wife stood in the government office without any good mood.

They are repairing the government office and preparing to give the new prefect a good environment. However, before he was dismissed from his post, he had become an unbearable past event.

Liu Yuqi even thought that the only use of these people who kept them alive until now may be to use him to sacrifice the flag.

On the first day, the kitchen in the government office was filled with rice, grain, bacon, fish, vegetables and other foods.

The next day, a team of people who had obviously read books began to sort out the albums of the household department and various documents from the six government departments.

On the third day, a team of fierce yamen runners appeared in the government office.

On the fourth day, a team of clerks appeared in the government office, and they skillfully entered the various government offices.

On the fifth day, a young man in green with a lock of hair hanging down to cover his left ear finally walked into the government office and bowed to Liu Yuqi and said, "Duan Guoren, the chief of Ningxia Town, has met Mingzun."

These four days were like a life for Liu Yuqi. He pinched his wife's hand and said calmly to Duan Guoren: "The seat under my butt is given by the Emperor Ming Dynasty. If you want to take it away, even my life will be taken away."

Duan Guoren said in surprise: "What is the saying of the Lord of the House? This is still my Ming Dynasty, and I am also my Ming Dynasty minor official. I have never heard of the imperial court's order to change the prefect of Ningxia Prefecture. You are naturally the prefect of Ningxia Prefecture. I think the seal in Mingzun's arms is enough to prove it."

"Ahem cough cough..."

Liu Yuqi's passionate words were blocked in his throat, and his saliva suddenly appeared, causing him to cough repeatedly.

"Where are the bandits ravaging my Ningxia Town?"

Duan Guoren smiled and said, "This time the thieves are powerful, and they are giant bandits such as Shidaitian who are wandering around Qingyang Prefecture. Fortunately, the Shaanxi Metropolitan Commander ordered the transfer of 10,000 troops from Lantian County. In just one month, the thieves' chaos was suppressed.

The Lord of the Mansion should report to His Majesty to reward those who are loyal to their duties, punish those who escape at the battle, reorganize the majesty of our Ningxia Mansion, make the righteous men feel disappointed, and let the bandits be severely punished by the law."

Liu Yuqi smiled and pointed at Duan Guoren and said, "Do you think this official is a person who recognizes the thief as his father?"

Duan Guoren laughed and said, "The corpses of those who recognize thieves as fathers have long been rotten at this time, and only the iron-spoken people still rank high above the temple and are admired by everyone."

Liu Yuqi said: "I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty. I am the Holy Emperor, guarding Ningxia Prefecture, not others."

Duan Guoren frowned and said, "So, where will the people of Ningxia Prefecture be placed?"

Liu Yuqi sneered and said, "I think I love the people as much as my son. In this Ningxia Prefecture, there is nothing to tell anyone except for being unable to drive away the thieves."

Duan Guoren laughed and said, "The Lord of the Mansion should go out of the government office to see what Ningxia Mansion, which was rampant in the past, looks like now!"

"What have you done?" Liu Yuqi smelled a strong smell of blood from Duan Guoren's words.

"Kill more than 14,700 thieves. From then on, there will be no bandits in Ningxia Prefecture, and the Lord of the Prefecture can show his strengths."

"I am the prefect, what are you doing?"

"I have poor hearing and are indecent officials. Therefore, a certain family is the deputy minister of the government, and naturally the government is the eldest. I only hope that the government can cooperate with these new officials to quickly improve the people's livelihood of Ningxia, so that this rich land known as the Jiangnan in the Fortress can revitalize as soon as possible.

I have nothing to ask for.”

Liu Yuqi stood up and looked at Duan Guoren and said, "Who are you?"

Duan Guoren said sadly: "Mingren, a Mingren who was exchanged for forty kilograms of millet by his parents, and a Mingren who did not want such a tragic incident to happen to other children."
