She endured the pain and shouted three times: "It can't be done."
As she finished speaking, the pain decreased sharply, she slowly relaxed, and finally she could take a breath.
After she came back to her senses, she swore to the system: "I will never take shortcuts, I will go to heaven steadily."
Huaide was sitting loosely, but when he heard her answer, he rarely looked serious.
He sat up straight and looked at her seriously for the first time.
In the dark night, the pair of eyes that looked over her were like two twinkling stars. After working all day, her black hair was slightly messy, with a strand sticking to her fair cheek, and her clothes were stained with oil stains.
Huaide felt that she should have been embarrassed, but for some reason, her powerful words were blown by the night wind and swirled into his ears, with a sense of calmness.
He came back to his senses and returned to his usual self, but his tone was a little less teasing. He asked her: "What's the practical way?"
Li Jiahe felt that he talked a bit too much tonight, was he feeling the urge to chat?
She cleared her throat uncomfortably: "For now, just manage Linshui County well."
"How to cure it? By me, you and that trash sleeping in the house? Or by you selling beef?"
Huaide spoke seriously, and the coercion on his body unconsciously spread. Li Jiahe subconsciously stood up straight. It felt like he was taken to the office by the principal and had a face-to-face talk.
"I want to mobilize everyone to come to the Yamen to help... grill skewers, and then give them corresponding rewards. However, the Yamen has always been in deficit, and the account books have just improved a bit today..."
There is great power in numbers, and if all the people in the county are put together, thousands of strings can be made in a day. Li Jiahe has already begun to dream.
Huaide didn't comment, just stood up and patted the dust on his body: "Remember to call that loser in the room."
Before dawn the next day, Li Jiahe got up to fetch water for the two bosses to wash up. When she went out, she saw Xinglan sitting in front of the small stone table writing something. When she went over to take a look, she saw that there was a bed in front of him.
His sheets were almost torn into rags, and he was currently holding a fire stick, stained by the ashes in the stove pit, and writing on it with difficulty.
Hearing someone approaching, he turned around suddenly, and when he saw Li Jiahe, his original frightened expression suddenly turned into aggrieved.
"When you have money, remember to buy me new sheets!"
It turned out that Huaide had gone out for morning exercise early in the morning, and he called Xinglan from the pig pen and told him that when he came back, he would see a notice recruiting skewers and kebab masters throughout the county.
There is no problem writing notices, but the problem is where is the paper in this yamen for him to write? He dare not enter Huaide's room, and it is inconvenient for him to enter Li Jiahe's room, and her room is most likely to be as shabby as his.
He wandered around like a headless fly all morning, thinking about it, and could only contribute his own sheets.
Li Jiahe felt that Xinglan was really miserable, and she couldn't understand why he would come thousands of miles away to give someone away, just to show that he cares less about courtesy than he cares about affection?
"Sir, what kind of official are you in the court?"
Xinglan squinted at her: "Taishi Ling."
After saying that, Li Jiahe skipped the step of asking him about his official position, and then shouted: "What's wrong? You look down on me? What's wrong with Taishi Ling?"
It can be seen that his official position is indeed not high.
"Sir, don't get excited. I was just thinking, if you can speak up in court, can you inform the Empress about the situation here?"
Xinglan then snorted: "Why do you think this place has always been like this? It's because people with good intentions don't want this to get better."
Xinglan said that although this county was broken, it had a history of hundreds of years. He had heard people talking about it before he became enlightened.
Linshui County is a stepping stone for the promotion of senior officials and minor officials. The connections behind the people who come here are intricate. The sky is high here and the emperor is far away. After the county magistrate took office, he pretended to be here and then falsely reported to the court that he was governing well and that he was in harmony with the outside.
, you can be promoted and leave, leaving the mess to the successor county magistrate openly. Linshui County has a good reputation anyway, and people lack self-judgment. They heard that this place is not good, so no one wants to have anything to do with the people here. News from Linshui County
It became increasingly isolated and the people were so poor that they could not even afford the means to go to the capital to file a complaint.
It is said that a ruthless man once appeared here and walked to the capital. However, there was no news from this time. I am afraid it is more serious than bad.
This also made the lies of the county magistrate here become more and more outrageous with each term. By Huaide's term, Linshui County had become a deep hole. If Huaide filled this hole, all the ridiculous things before would be inevitable.
The news will reach the ears of the empress, and everyone who has sat in this position will be implicated, so the court will kill all news about Linshui County and let it exist in the court in the form of a "paradise".
Li Jiahe suddenly recalled all the negative behaviors of Huaide since then. Could it be that he had already known about the situation here, so he just ignored it? Is he also prepared to do nothing like those dog officials before?
But he is the way of heaven.
While she was lost in thought, Xinglan had already written a notice crazily. Li Jiahe went out to fetch water. The two of them were on the way, so they decided to go together so that they could share the pain if they were beaten.
When the two of them went out, they happened to catch up with the villagers who were packing up and going to the garden in the back mountain to plant the fields. When you saw these two people sneaking around, you felt unhappy.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xing Lan trembled and nailed the rag strip to the wall. Before he could leave, a gust of wind blew behind his head. He subconsciously held his head and saw Wang Liu Mazi striding over and tore off the strip of cloth.
He went down and threw it to his wife, "There is no firewood at home, so you can use this to make a fire."
Xinglan: "..."
He turned to look at Li Jiahe, who quickly looked up at the sky to avoid eye contact with him.
Life is full of ups and downs, and Emperor Huaide was beaten just like that here.
Posting notices obviously doesn't work. These people tore them up without even reading the contents. The main reason is that Xinglan really has no sheets.
The two of them could only go back and make beef skewers. Li Jiahe calculated and figured out that he could make hundreds of skewers by the end of the night.
When Huaide came back, Xinglan was sucking the palm of his hand that was bleeding from a branch.
"Has the notice been posted?" he asked Xinglan.
The latter nodded, obviously lacking confidence when speaking: "It's just useless, they didn't even look at it, they just tore it up."
Huaide looked like "Dad knows it". He raised his head and looked at the sky: "It doesn't matter. In a few days, Sui Lord will be evaluated for promotion. They will come to ask for me. You two clean up and follow me first."
Go to Canghai County and come back later to do things like Chuanchuan."
As soon as he came back yesterday, he said that he had mastered the code of wealth and was going to Canghai County to make money. Li Jiahe couldn't think of any way for him to make money, but she also wanted to go shopping and treat it as a trip.
Huaide's temperament has always been fiery and he just does what he says. One second he said he wanted to leave, but in a short while, several people had already left the county gate.
After walking for about half an hour, Xinglan started to feel tired.
"Emperor, Canghai County is not close to here. It takes two hours to walk. Didn't you prepare a carriage?"
Li Jiahe's chest felt tight when he mentioned horses.
Huaide looked at Xinglan and his eyes became profound: "Your body should be able to move faster than me and Xiaocao, right?"
Strictly speaking, Xinglan belongs to the lower world at this time, and his spiritual power has not been completely blocked. In Huaide's eyes, he is a living horse.
In order to avoid the fate of being ridden, Xinglan shut up obediently and did not dare to say another word during the whole process.
It was almost noon, and they finally arrived in Canghai County on foot. Huaide was not in a hurry to let Li Jiahe go shopping. After entering the city, he saw him walking in the north direction on a familiar road. The other two people followed him without knowing why, until they reached a place.
Beside the bridge cave.
Huaide squatted down with his hands in his hands naturally, and then began to shake his hands up and down violently, as if he was having a cramp, leaving Li Jiahe and Xinglan stunned.
Huaide shivered for a long time, and when he saw the two people still standing there, he suddenly became unhappy and said, "What are you two doing? Come over quickly and squat down."
When he returned to heaven this time, he paid special attention to Canghai County, which is next door to Linshui County, and found that the life here was much richer than that in Linshui County. Even if he begged for food on the street, the money he got was more than the people in Linshui County combined.
, so yesterday he also followed the example of the beggar and came to Canghai County to beg for food.
He was originally worried because he was not skilled in the technology. After squatting for a while, he was not disappointed to find that there was indeed gold everywhere. He didn't even take the tools. After all, he couldn't afford a bowl. He just held it with his sleeves.
When he squats under the stone bridge, passers-by will throw some money to him. This is how he got the money for the half-cow yesterday.
Li Jiahe and Xinglan looked at each other in disbelief, and finally, forced by Huaide's lustful power, Xinglan squatted down next to him and started shaking her hands slightly.
When Huaide saw this, his face became a little cold. He said, "Do your hands match yours? If you tremble a lot, who would know what you do?"
Xinglan didn't dare to disobey him, so she had no choice but to cooperate, shaking her hand up and down as if waving a flag, but the end almost went into the cracks in the ground.
This, this, this, what a shame! This chapter has been completed!
