Luo Chuan and his party left the inn on the third day after settling in.
When leaving, a group of petty officials who had already heard the news from Shuangjing Town knelt on both sides of the road outside the inn to see Luochuan off.
In a village not far from the inn, until early that morning, there was still the sound of people setting off firecrackers.
The convoy headed west, and the official road was wide and smooth. Soon, the convoy escorted by fifty elite blood cavalry arrived outside Cangyan City. Luo Chuan, who was sitting in the largest carriage in the convoy, raised the curtain and wanted to see
Looking at the green city wall in the distance, I saw people still queuing up on the official road outside the city gate, waiting to enter the city. People were kneeling on the ground, and they couldn't help but sigh and lowered the car curtains again.
Si Qi, who was on the side, saw that he was not in high spirits, so she asked in surprise, "Master, what's going on?" She opened the curtain and looked outside, then put it down and said, "Isn't it a good thing that the people are grateful to the Master for eliminating harm to the people?
I saw that all the blood riders in front and behind the convoy stood tall with their chests straightened out, looking extremely proud."
Luo Chuan shook his head and said, "I'm just feeling the kindness of the people." He glanced at Siqi's confused expression. He didn't want to say anything else, so he couldn't help but added, "People who are officials just give them
Such a little hope can earn them so much awe." He looked at the car window without opening the curtain, "What they want is actually very little..."
Si Qi nodded, and then shook his head, "Young Master thinks that killing the bone maggots is a small matter, but for the people of Cangyan, it is a big deal that cannot be solved for more than ten years. What's more, if Young Master thinks that
I feel sorry for you." She stretched out a slender finger and pointed in the direction of Cangyan City, "Well, aren't there still two maggots in this city waiting for the young master to behead them? At that time, the young master will try his best to eliminate them.
With three maggots, the dark clouds above the heads of the Cangyan people will disperse, and they can hear two more firecrackers!"
"It's not that simple," Luo Chuan glanced at her and said, "In Shuangjing Town, I happened to see that guy doing something evil on the spot. It makes sense for us to take advantage of the power of the new county guard and kill him. Now there are about half
Everyone in Cangyan knows about this, how can it be that the two maggots in the city don't know about it? Now that they know about it, how can they leave too many clues for us to catch them."
Siqi stared, then punched her thigh and said, "If I had known that I would have rushed to Cangyan City overnight after leaving Shuangjing Town on that day, it would have been troublesome now." She frowned and thought for a moment, then raised her head and asked.
, "So what are you waiting for, Master, after waiting all night in that inn?" Luo Chuan smiled, "Of course, I have to wait for all parties to react... You know, Chang Gong's knife can cut bone maggots.
At that time, it was the name of the new Cangyan County Magistrate...the eldest son Luo Chuan!"
Siqi was stunned for a moment, and then he lowered his head and pondered the meaning of his words.
Luo Chuan didn't care about her. He just felt the light outside dim and knew that the convoy was driving into the city gate. After a while, the light returned and the convoy stopped after a few steps.
"What's wrong?" Luo Chuan asked the old coachman as he slightly opened the door curtain.
The old coachman pointed forward and said, "There is a little girl blocking the way."
"Oh?" Luo Chuan glanced at the girl not far away with some surprise. She was wearing a blue cotton-padded jacket and had a round and childish face. She was trembling with fear just kneeling in front of the blood knight, but she still held her head high.
Holding a small bronze mirror in her hands, she blocked the road in the middle of the road. Her parents, who had never seen much of the world, were so shocked that they kowtowed.
The skeleton of the blood knight's mount is extremely high, and the knight covered with armor sits on top of it. People can only look up. In front of them, the three civilians kneeling on the ground on the street are as small as ants.
Luo Changgong, the leader of the Blood Cavalry, got off his horse and walked to the girl, took the bronze mirror and looked at it over and over, "You said there was an old man who asked you to give this bronze mirror to a young master?"
"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 his, so her voice became even lower and inaudible, "The old man who gave me the mirror said...
.He said he wanted to give a young... master... in the convoy escorted by the red armored cavalry..."
"Wait a minute," Luo Changgong looked down at the girl, turned around and strode to Luo Chuan's carriage, handed the bronze mirror to the old coachman, and then said to Luo Chuan, "The woman said that an old man asked her to give this mirror to him.
Mr. Yu, I think there is something strange about this bronze mirror..."
"It's naturally strange..." The old coachman stretched out his hand a little above the bronze mirror, and the blue light flashed out. He didn't give it to Luo Chuan, but turned his hand and put it in his sleeve.
Luo Chuan looked around. Many people had been kneeling on the roadside for a long time. They looked up curiously. "Take the girl and her family back home first. Don't delay what you have to do today." He looked at Luo Chuan.
Chang Gong added, "Don't scare them."
Luo Changgong saluted accordingly, turned around and left. After a while, the convoy started moving again.
Under the overt and covert attention of the people in the city, this motorcade drove to the entrance of the government office compound in the center of the city and rushed straight in.
The interior of Cangyan City's government office compound occupies a very large area. On the left side of the courtyard gate are the three government offices: Si Nong, Treasurer, and Si Lv. There are no government servants in front of these three government offices. On the right side are the county magistrate and the county magistrate.
In Wei Yamen, someone has already heard the sound from the outer courtyard and came out of the small independent courtyard of the two Yamen. They looked at the motorcade in front of them with different expressions.
Walking further inside, facing a courtyard that is isolated from the outside by a walled courtyard, is the courtyard belonging to the county guard. The courtyard gate is extremely elegant, with gold tiles and red paint, but it is now locked by a huge copper lock.
There were weeds growing on the stone steps in front of the door, which had obviously not bloomed for many years.
Luo Chuan still didn't show up, so Luo Changgong immediately stepped forward and cut off the bronze lock on the inner courtyard door with his sword, pushed the door open, and a group of people drove in.
After a while, the sound of drums came from the inner courtyard. The sound of the drums was different from the rarely played Dengwen drums in front of the Silu Yamen. Instead, it was deep and heavy, like the echo of the valley resounding in people's hearts.
, the sound spread far away, shocking those who heard it.
There were already some people crowding in front of the Yamen of the two major offices of the County, Cheng, and County officials. They were just looking at the inner courtyard with the open door, looking at each other and not knowing how to deal with it.
It wasn't until a middle-aged man with a handsome face walked out of the county government office that all the government officials came to their senses and saluted one after another.
The middle-aged man stood in front of the county magistrate's office and looked towards the inner courtyard, "Comrades, since you have heard the drums in the inner hall, why don't you dress up and come with me to meet the new county magistrate as soon as possible?"
His voice was very clear, and all the county government officials responded in unison. The neatly dressed ones lined up behind him, while some others apologized and quickly ran back to the courtyard to retrieve their clothes and trotted out again.
After a while, all the officials had gathered in front of the gate of the county government's Yamen, and they followed the middle-aged man at the head towards the inner courtyard.
The clerks in front of the county government office not far away were dumbfounded. The smarter ones turned around and trotted into their own government offices to report. The slower ones also hurriedly went back to get their clothes, and went in in twos and threes.
The hospital rushed to the hospital.
The inner courtyard, which no one had entered for a long time, suddenly became full of people.
It's just that every official who steps in, stepping on the thick dust in the courtyard, looking at the red cavalry waiting in the courtyard and the government officials who are tied up like rice dumplings under their guard, will feel a strong sense of uneasiness.
