Chapter 74 Straight into the government office

Luo Chuan and his party set off on the third day after they settled in the inn.

When they left, the minor officials who had already learned that the news came from Shuangjing Town were kneeling on both sides of the road outside the post station to see Luochuan off.

In the village not far from the inn, until early this morning, there were still sounds of people setting off firecrackers.

The convoy went west, and the official road was wide and smooth. Soon, the convoy escorted by fifty elite blood cavalry arrived outside Cangyan City. Luochuan, who was sitting in the widest carriage in the convoy, lifted up the curtain to see the blue city wall in the distance, but saw that the official road outside the city gate was still waiting to enter the city. The people knelt down on the ground and sighed and lowered the curtain again.

Siqi, who was on the other hand, said in surprise, "What's wrong with him?" She lifted the curtain and looked out, then put down the curtain, "It's not a good thing for the people to thank the prince for eliminating harm for the people? I saw that the bloody cyclists in front and behind the convoy were straightened, and they looked so glorious."

Luo Chuan shook his head and said, "I just lament the kindness of the people." He glanced at Siqi's ignorant expression. He didn't want to say anything else, so he couldn't help but say another sentence, "Officials just give them such a little hope and can gain so much awe." He looked at the car window but did not lift the curtain, "They actually want very little..."

Siqi nodded, then shook his head again, "Young Master thinks that killing the bone maggot is a small matter, but for the people of Cangyan, it is a huge matter that cannot be solved for more than ten years. What's more, if the young master feels sorry," she stretched out a slender finger and pointed the direction of Cangyan City. "Here, aren't there two maggots in this city waiting for the young master to behead his head? At that time, the young master will clear the three maggots with one force, and the dark clouds above the people of Cangyan will dissipate. You can listen to the firecrackers twice more!"

"It's not that simple," Luo Chuan glanced at her, "In that Shuangjing Town, it happened that guy would encounter that guy doing evil on the spot. We took advantage of the new county garrison to take office and took advantage of the power to kill him. Now about half of Cangyan's people know this. How could the two maggots in the city not know? Since they know, how could they leave too many handles for doing evil for us to catch them?"

Siqi glared, then punched her on the thigh and said, "I had known that I would have arrived at Cangyan City overnight that day. This would be a problem," she frowned and thought for a while and asked, "So what were you waiting for in the inn for another night?" Luo Chuan smiled, "Of course, you have to wait for all parties to react well... You know, when Chang Gong's sword cuts the bone maggots, he said that the new Cangyan County Guard... The name of the eldest son Luo Chuan!"

Siqi was stunned, and then lowered his head and pondered what he meant in his words.

Luo Chuan didn't care about her, but felt that the light outside was dimming. He knew that the convoy had entered the city gate. After a while, the light was brighter. The convoy stopped after a few steps.

"What's wrong?" Luo Chuan opened the door curtain slightly and asked the old coachman.

The old coachman pointed ahead and said, "A little girl blocked her way."

"Oh?" Luo Chuan looked at the girl not far away with surprise. She was wearing a green cotton jacket, with a round and childish face. She was just kneeling in front of the Blood Rider and was trembling with fear, but she was still holding her hands high, holding a small bronze mirror in her hand, blocking the road, only shocking her parents who had never seen much of the world.

The blood rider's mount has a very high skeleton, and the armored knights are on it, making people look up to it. In front of them, the three civilians kneeling on the ground on the street are as small as ants.

Luo Changgong, led by the Blood Cavalry, turned over and got off the horse and walked to the girl, taking the bronze mirror and looking over and over again, "Did you say an old man ask you to hand over this bronze mirror to a young man?"

"Yes..." The girl glanced at the tall knight in front of her, and felt that the city wall not far away was not as majestic as him, and her voice became even lower and unpleasant. "The old man who gave me a mirror said... he said he wanted to escort a young boy in the convoy of the Red Armored Cavalry... "

"Wait," Luo Changgong looked down at the girl, turned around and strode to Luochuan's carriage and handed the bronze mirror to the old coachman, and said to Luochuan, "The woman said that an old man asked her to give the mirror to the young master. I saw that the bronze mirror seemed strange..."

"Of course it's strange..." The old coachman reached out to the bronze mirror, and the blue light flashed and disappeared. He did not give Luo Chuan a hand, but instead flipped his hand and held it into his sleeve.

Luochuan looked around. Many people had been kneeling on the side of the road for a long time. They looked up curiously, "Take that girl's family back home first, don't delay what you have to do today," he looked at Luo Changgong and added, "Don't scare them."

Luo Changgong bowed and turned around and left. After a while, the convoy took action again.

With the attention of the people in the city openly and secretly, the convoy drove to the entrance of the government office in the center of the city and rushed straight in.

The courtyard of Cangyan City covers a very wide area. On the left side of the entrance are the three major yamen, namely the yamen, the treasury, and the treasury. There are currently no yamen in front of these three yamen, and on the right are the county magistrate and the county magistrate. Now some people have heard the sound of the outer courtyard coming out of the independent courtyard of the two yamen. Looking at the convoy in front of them, they look different.

Going further in, the opposite side of the courtyard is isolated from the outside walled courtyard gate. The courtyard gate is the courtyard guarded by the county. The courtyard gate is extremely elegantly built, with golden tiles and red paint, but at this moment it is locked by a huge copper lock, and weeds are growing on the stone steps in front of the door, which is obviously a scene that has not been opened for many years.

Luo Chuan still did not show up. Luo Changgongyu immediately cut off the copper lock on the inner courtyard door with a knife, pushed the courtyard door open, and the group of people rushed into it.

After a while, the drum sound came from the inner courtyard. The drum sound was different from the rarely beaten drum in front of the Silu Yamen. It was low and heavy, like a sound of the valley sounded in the hearts of people. The sound was very far away, which shocked the listeners.

There were already some people crowded at the entrances of the two major government offices of the county magistrate and county magistrate, but they looked at the open inner courtyard, looking at each other and wondering how to deal with it.

It was not until a middle-aged man with a handsome face walked out of the county magistrate's office that the officials of the yamen woke up and saluted them.

The middle-aged man stood in front of the county magistrate's office and looked at the inner courtyard, "Dear colleagues, since you have heard the sound of the inner drums, why don't you clean up your clothes and go to see the new county magistrate as soon as possible?"

His voice was very clear. The officials of the county magistrate and the government office responded in unison. They followed him in line with neat clothes. Some of them accused him of guilt and ran back to the yard to retrieve his clothes and trot out.

After a while, all the officials had gathered in front of the county magistrate's office and followed the middle-aged man to the inner courtyard.

The officials in front of the county magistrate's office not far away were stunned. They turned around smartly and trotted to their own government office to report. Those who reacted slowly also hurried back to get their clothes and rushed to the inner courtyard in groups of three or three.

The inner courtyard that had not been in the past for a long time was immediately full of popularity.

But every official who stepped into it, stepping on the thick dust in the yard, looking at the bloody cavalry waiting in the yard and the yamen runners who were guarding them, who were tied like rice dumplings, would feel a strong sense of anxiety.

Lingering...
