As always, the town of Yuanmu is full of shouting vendors and stalls, which is very lively.
Xiao Lingyue observed while walking, but did not see the patrolling yamen runners.
Arrive at the county magistrate's office.
Many yamen runners come in and out, and are so busy that they are overwhelmed.
Some people are cleaning the yamen, and some are cleaning stone lions.
Some people are moving flowers and grass, and some are laying carpets and hanging colorful silk
A pair of lights and a busy scene.
Xiao Lingyue looked at the red carpet spread out at the yamen and was stunned for a moment.
What's going on?
Isn’t “Li Bihuai” dead? Why is the red carpet on the county magistrate’s yamen still laid?
Looks like you have a happy event to celebrate?
Has the news of the death of the county magistrate yet?
Boss Zhao and others were also confused. As soon as they walked to the yamen with gifts, they almost ran into a team of yamen runners who were hurried out: "Oh!"
"What are you doing? Don't block the road in front of the yamen, go quickly!" The yamen runner carried a knife and drove away sternly.
"This servant brother is here to visit the county magistrate. He has already handed over a message before. Please tell me how to pass it on?" Boss Zhao smiled and said in a compliment.
The yamen runner didn't take his tricks and waved his hand without hesitation, "Sir, don't have time to see you today, come again another day!"
Boss Zhao: "But, please visit me"
"Everyone said that sir is not available!" The yamen runner interrupted impatiently, "Go away quickly, I didn't see that the yamen was busy!"
Boss Zhao: ""
"What are you doing when you are blocked at the door?" An unhappy voice came.
Boss Zhao turned his head and his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly bowed: "Master Ji!"
Xiao Lingyue looked up and saw a middle-aged man in his forties with a beard coming out of the yamen with a serious expression.
The chief clerk is an official position and the right-hand man of the county magistrate, and is responsible for assisting the county magistrate in charge of the work.
If the county magistrate is not here, all the affairs in the yamen can be temporarily worked by the chief clerk, and they are usually the confidant of the county magistrate.
Xiao Lingyue observed the chief clerk Ji. Although he had a stern face and a serious expression, there was no panic on his face.
When I saw the busy yamen runners around me, they were all busy and orderly and joyful.
Xiao Lingyue: ""
She didn't understand what was going on.
Obviously, Li Bihuai is dead, and news should come as soon as the sky dawns.
The county magistrate's yamen should receive the news as soon as possible, why do everyone look like nothing happened and good things are coming?
An incredible thought flashed through Xiao Lingyue's mind.
Could it be that "Li Bihuai" is not dead?
Or have other changes?
Xiao Lingyue decided to wait and see what happened first.
On the other hand, Master Ji seemed to know Boss Zhao, and his expression calmed down a little: "Boss Zhao, you came here unfortunately. The county magistrate has no time to see you today. Come again another day!"
Boss Zhao smiled and said, "Master Ji, is there any happy event in the yamen? It looks so lively."
"It's indeed a happy event." Ji Zhuan Chuan stroked his beard and smiled reservedly, "The news just came from last night that a distinguished guest in the capital has arrived. Isn't this? I've been busy last night until now, and no one has time to do it.
I'm afraid of neglecting my distinguished guests."
