Back Off, Let Me Come Chapter 934

Chapter 934 Chapter 934: Jinli County (Part 1) [Ask for monthly ticket]

 The people in the Ministry of Rites took a breath of cold air.

They vaguely felt that this scene sounded familiar.

Hide behind the crowd and whisper in your ears.

"...Jinli County? No, Jinli County is crazy? Want money, food, or life? How dare you use 'ghost stealing food' to close the case? Do you really think this is Zheng Qiao from before?"

If I remember correctly, similar things have happened before.

But Zheng Qiao was still in power at that time. The host and guest still remember the flash of ridicule on Zheng Qiao's face.

On the surface, there was no reaction, but secretly, the mastermind, his wife and children were all arrested and cut into pieces. Ling Chi turned into tens of thousands of crystal-clear "life movies" and rewarded those who "made contributions to solving the case". At that time, the weather was hot and hot, and the meat slices were already stinky and infested with maggots. Those who refused to eat were directly killed on the spot for "contempting the king". Those who were willing to eat were allowed to eat as many plates as they wanted.

How can a normal person withstand such torture?

 Half of them will be killed, and half of them will be mad.

 Just listening to other people's narration makes me shudder.

Colleagues also whispered: "Whether it is the person before or the person now, they will not give anyone a chance to survive."

 Actually, he personally felt that the survival rate would be higher in Zheng Qiao's hands. Because no matter how crazy and perverted Zheng Qiao is, he will still weigh the pros and cons. As long as the benefits to him outweigh the disadvantages or suit his taste, Zheng Qiao will turn a blind eye even if he pokes a hole in the sky. Certain chance of survival.

Now the king is different -

 She will really kill the "ghost stealing food case".

 Tell a cold joke—

In the years since Zheng Qiao took office, only over 200 officials have died at his hands. Last time, she slaughtered 300 to 400 people during the "Fire Dragon Burning Warehouse". Those who were lucky enough to survive had to spend their whole lives growing corn, picking cotton, and cultivating land. Wasteland, being the cheapest man's disciple.

If you include the officials who are killed during inspections every year?

 Haha, there are two to three thousand anyway.

Another colleague came over and said, "The situation in Jinli County, Kunzhou is different from the past. It is another major case."

It took Yuanhuang three years to completely recover Kunzhou.

It's not that Kang Guo didn't want to recover as soon as possible.

 In fact, Yuanhuang captured Kunzhou at the beginning of the second year of his reign, but the original rebel forces in Kunzhou were elusive and cunning. They use the common people in Kunzhou as a shield, break up into small groups on weekdays, and lurk among them to avoid the encirclement and suppression by Zhechong Mansion.

　　When you relax your vigilance, you will jump out to cause trouble again.

 In order to cause more trouble for the royal court, he organized forces to set fire to the fields during the autumn harvest several times, causing heavy losses to Kunzhou counties.

In addition to burning fields, there were endless assassinations and poisonings, and daring warriors were deceived and turned into dead soldiers to blow themselves up in crowded places. Every time it happens, dozens to hundreds of innocent people are implicated. People in Kunzhou are panicked and reconstruction is slow.

 They remember that time very well.

 Because the leader of the country is trolling people every day.

 Old friends who worked in several other departments hugged each other and cried, saying that working under Shen Tang's account was more stressful than working under Zheng Qiao's account. Zheng Qiao doesn't like to curse, he likes to torture people, and the current master not only tortures the body, but also tortures the spirit.

At one point, I even had the idea of ​​resigning.

 It was not until the rebels in Kunzhou were cleared that the atmosphere in the court returned to normal, and my old friend never mentioned resigning.

 After being reminded by colleagues, others reacted.

 “Could it be the remnants of the rebels who did it?”

 “You didn't kill them all?”

"It's not impossible. Besides..." The speaker secretly glanced in the direction of Shen Tang and continued to whisper, "The wealthy gentry from aristocratic families in Kunzhou have quite a lot of complaints against the Lord... Is this really a treason?" It's hard to say whether the army did it or they were involved secretly... My Lord..."

This person did not notice the crazy winks of his colleagues, and he was also confused as to why several colleagues suddenly moved away from him.

"Why are you hiding so far away?" When you go to court seriously, you will be ranked first, but for long-distance court meetings like this, the position is not very important. A few of them simply stayed in the back, and used words and spirits to block their chats and fisheries, so they would usually not be discovered. Although they were twenty-four ministers, they couldn't stand working in the Ministry of Rites. They had nothing to say in court on weekdays, and no one cared about them.

 “What's wrong with Gu?”

 A familiar voice sounded behind him.

He felt like his scalp was going to explode.

Turning around with a pale face, he saw the gloomy-looking king standing behind him. He suddenly felt bitter in his mouth and wished he could plead guilty on the spot. Shen Tang took a deep breath and suppressed the fire in his heart: "If the Ministry of Rites is so free, you can go to the Taishi Bureau to help Gongsu. You guys, write a five thousand word review."

After finishing speaking, he added: "Send it in tomorrow!"

Shen Tang is not keen on fines, demotion or anything like that.

 She prefers to make people stay up late to write reviews.

A few people secretly wiped their sweat and came down, quickly recalling in their minds which of their whispered words just now was inappropriate. When Shen Tang said "the meeting is dismissed", they exited one after another and returned to reality. They looked at each other with a frown and a little fear.

“Isn't it far enough away from the Yushitai?”

 The Yushitai of Kang State was simply a nightmare for all officials.

The imperial censor is Gu Chi. He is proficient in reading people's minds and spirits. He can catch people's faults immediately, ranging from corruption and dereliction of duty to trivial matters in the inner house. There seems to be no information that he cannot get.

“We are close to Tanaka Cheng...could it be him?”

 “Should...no?”

They are relatively unfamiliar with Gu Chi. They only know that this medicine jar is the master's favorite, but they are familiar with the censor Zhongcheng.

　　Tian Zhongcheng, Tian Zhong, courtesy name Shouyi.

Zhongcheng, the last censor of Xin State.

He was also the first imperial censor Zhongcheng in the Kang state.

　　Even though this old boy looks upright, he is a complete troll. He is older and has higher seniority. When their parents saw Tian Zhong, their legs would go weak, let alone them. When the Xin Kingdom was destroyed, Tian Zhong's family was convicted. They managed to escape but their whereabouts were unknown.

I don't know where the imperial censor dug out the Tian family father and son who were living in seclusion in the countryside. As soon as they came up, they gave the censor the high position of Zhongcheng. You must know that if the Yushitai does not have a Yushi doctor, the Yushitai Zhongcheng is the actual chief of the Yushitai. Tian Zhong refused to agree at first. He just wanted to have fun with his grandson and enjoy a family relationship, but he couldn't resist Gu Chi's tricks and was eventually persuaded to take up the post.

There are rumors that Tian Zhong's coming out of the mountain seems to be related to Zhongshu's orders to Qishan, but they looked at it with cold eyes. Qi Xiang and Tian Zhong did not have any private contact, and their expressions were indifferent when they met on weekdays. This shows that this rumor is untrue. This guy should be too lazy to care about their fishing.

“That's all, let's write a review now that the matter is over. If you can't hand it in tomorrow morning, the lord's anger will be…”

Although the words were not finished, everyone understood.

 The thought of being hung up for self-examination makes my head hurt even more.

Who can tell them how to write this review? It's just a temporary meeting to catch fish. How can I write a review of 5,000 words?

The key is-

 How can I write 5,000 words in one night?

 The host and guest took a deep breath.

 “That's it for now, let's go get some scriptures.”

 Look to brothers and sisters in other departments to learn from them. The four departments of the Ministry of Rites were scolded less and punished even less, but the other departments were different. They were scolded and punished every three to five, so they could write reviews easily. Not to mention the 5,000-word review in one night, Dr. Kurabe also had a 10,000-word review in one night!

  Doctor Kurabe looked at the four of them and gave them some advice.

 …[Half-hearted] Yes?”

 The four of them nodded: "Yes, I can, but I'm not skilled at it."

The four of them are not of high origin, but not too low either. The training path given by their family is to become officials, and the word "half-hearted" is mostly used in military battles, so naturally they are not skilled in it.

   Doctor Kurabeji said: "Just use it, five thousand words, one thousand words for me, two thousand words for each of the two incarnations of literary spirit. I finished writing in the first half of the night, and I can still sleep in the second half of the night..."

 The incarnation of literary spirit is not a human being, so there is no need for sympathy when being squeezed.

 Four people: “…But the spirit of words is not simple…”

 Just because you can use it doesn't mean you are proficient.

 Mr. Kurabe performs one on the spot.

 The two incarnations of Wenqi have exquisite looks, almost the same as the original deity, and even the eyes are a bit radiant, as if they are strangers! The appearance of such brilliance in the incarnation of Wen Qi means that the practitioner has mastered [Half-heartedness] to a certain extent, and must have worked hard. The four people asked curiously: "How come you, Kurabe, are so proficient in [half-heartedness]?"

“It is trained at the end of every year.” Doctor Kurabe Shizhong's face darkened, “[Half-heartedness] is a must for errands.”

 Four people: “…”

Although they didn't have a good grasp of "Half-heartedness", it was better to have helpers than no helpers. After dilly-dallying, they finally managed to collect five thousand words of nonsense before dawn. The four of them copied each other's translations and stated the same nonsense in different styles.

 Looking at the results of the night, he breathed a sigh of relief.

 Hurry to give Shen Tang errands.

Shen Tang was ready to go before dawn. She was riding on the back of a snow-white motorcycle, flipping through a few pages and handing them over to her guards: "Go back and send all these reviews to Gong Su."

 Four people: “…”

Seeing their reaction, Shen Tang was furious: "I plagiarized and didn't remember to change my name! Do you think I'm blind?"

 Hey guys, four of us share the same name, right?

 Four people: “…”

Fortunately, the Lord did not ask them to write a 10,000-word self-examination, and waved them away: "I will talk to you about court discipline later. I want to save my anger now."

 The four of them returned to their carriages with their necks hunched.

Shen Tang suppressed his anger: "Everyone is too busy!"

Qin Li is not in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and all the people below have learned how to fish. Thinking of the memorial Qin Li sent from Fengluo, Shen Tang thought about squeezing which one of them to work part-time in the Taishi Bureau. Apart from anything else, these people's handwriting is beautiful, and the Taishi Bureau lacks such people.

 The functions of the Taishi Bureau are similar to those of the Qintian Supervisor.

However, the Taishi Bureau established by Shen Tang was different.

  It is better to say that it is the Meteorological Bureau than the Qin Tianjian.

 Yes, the Bureau of Meteorology.

Qin Li's way of being a scribe is cleverly combined with her way of being a prince, and he can use the power of the national seal to see the cloud situation in Kang's territory. The Taishi Bureau can judge the local weather and predict wind and rain based on the cloud conditions, and the accuracy of the information is not low.

Shen Tang will rationally allocate the national transportation needed to various places based on the annual rainfall in Kang State. Areas with water shortages can replenish more water, and areas with abundant water can reduce it... This ensures that every place in Kang State can have a good harvest. A good harvest of food will fill the national treasury.

 Today's Taishi Bureau is inseparable from Qin Li.

 And Qin Li?

He also didn't expect that his scribe skills could be used in this way.

 _(:з　∠)_

 When I got busy, I forgot that I still had a Ministry of Etiquette to take care of.

Shen Tang was so mobile that he led the officials straight to Jinli County in Kunzhou. Worrying about arousing suspicion, they all put on disguises, broke up into parts, and divided into several caravans to enter the country. Compared with the liveliness of other states and counties in Kang State, Kunzhou is obviously much more depressed and deserted.

 Walking along the official road for a long time, I couldn't see many people.

For some reason, Shen Tang's face became gloomier as she got closer to Kunzhou. Except for the important ministers she relied on who could see some kindness, others were trembling in front of her, even breathing heavily.

Shen Tang is now pretending to be the daughter of a wealthy businessman who is in charge of the family.

Her long hair was combed in the style of a married woman, with a white flower pinned to her temples and a white hairband wrapped around her bun. As Shen Tang continued to promote female officials, many women among the people also plucked up the courage to walk out of the backyard, some without sons. Some parents also gave up the idea of ​​adoption and tried to train their daughters to inherit, but most of them were married daughters.

 There were not many unmarried women.

Last year, an unmarried girl arranged a ridiculous marriage for herself and married a rooster in order to express her determination to her parents. That night she killed a chicken and entertained the guests, and the next day she dressed up as a widow.

 Many unmarried women also followed suit when they saw this.

They did not marry the rooster, but skipped this step and pretended to be widowed women. When Shen Tang heard about this, he admired their courage, but unexpectedly it became fashionable. Widow makeup has become popular among the people, and "the king of the country has approved of it after seeing it"...

  Shen Tang: “…”

Who believes it? The boomerang pierced me.

She looked at the gorgeous face in the mirror that could not be suppressed by even the light makeup, caressed her face and sighed: "Oh, this face looks like it has been through hundreds of battles, and has successfully subdued temptation..."

When the officials saw her dressed like this, their expressions were as ugly as if they had eaten shit, and they just wanted to beg for a pair of unseen eyes.

 Shen Tang coughed twice, holding his throat, and entered the state.

The disguised caravan stopped at the post station outside Jinli County.

Shen Tang used the excuse of doing business to inquire about the market situation with others: "... the little girl runs a grain shop at home and wants to come here to collect grain... Alas, other places have either been booked by big grain merchants early in the morning, or they have written contracts with Wang Ting Wang Shang Volume…for the sake of family business, I have to travel far away to try my luck.”

 “If this is the case, the lady is in the wrong place.”

Shen Tang took out the broken silver and pushed it over: "Why do you say that?"

Someone looked around and saw no servant. He touched the broken silver and said mysteriously: "The lady is from outside and doesn't know the local market. A strange thing happened a while ago. Thousands of ghosts crawled out of the cemetery and touched the silver pieces along the way. County government grain depot…”

Just as Shen Tang was about to ask, the person next to the man corrected him: "Hey, didn't you say hundreds of ghosts? How come it became thousands?"

The man said: "Is there a difference between hundreds and thousands? There were so many green lanterns coming out that day, did you count hundreds or thousands?"

 Innumerable densely packed!

 Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

Shen Tang raised his eyelids: "Ming Lantern? Have you seen it?"

The man said: "I saw it with my own eyes! Every one of those ghosts was crying and babbling, which made people panic!"

These ghosts came out of the cemetery, shouting something like "hungry" vaguely, gathered together and moved away the grain stored in the grain depot.

 “Not only I have seen it, but also many people have seen it.”

 “Yes! They are all ghosts!”
