Chapter 361: insinuating

Chapter 361 On the sidelines

Liu Youwei followed closely and said, "I was punished for four months of salary, and my lord reduced it from light to two months according to the law."

Li Fulu said: "I am in the same situation as Liu Youwei. Your Excellency treats us so leniently because he sympathizes with us and wants us to do practical things for the common people."

Tan Shouquan also plucked up his courage and said: "Today, Mr. Pei said that he believed that when we first entered the county government, we also wanted to do things for the people. We are the people of Wanshou County, and we can't deceive our own people. In the past, Xu Hu has been bullying us all the time, and now Mr. Pei has investigated him according to the law. Mr. Pei also said that if there is any trouble in the county government that does not follow the rules, everyone can report it directly to him."

Everyone was heartbroken when they heard this, secretly looking forward to a bright future.

Although some of them still feel that the magistrate is unreliable, they dare not stand up and say that Pei Yi is not good under such circumstances.

Inside the meeting hall.

"Ding! The host's reputation as an official has been initially improved, and he has gained 50 points." The system said happily, "The host's current total points are 884 points."

Pei Yi was very happy to hear that her political reputation was improving.

She looked at Xiao Junji beside her, and said gratefully: "Thank you so much today! If you hadn't helped me, I wouldn't have known that the county government had such a beetle."

Xiao Junji said with a slight smile: "Sanlang's words are too modest. I am just a person who has been tricked, and you are the one who really does practical things."

The servant Mo Jian standing next to him finally came to his senses, and he said how could it be possible for someone to steal money with the temperament of his family's son? After working for a long time, he wanted to help Pei Sanlang find out the thorns as soon as he made a move.

"But having said that, you don't have to give them money if they blackmail you." Pei Yi said, "Just show off your prestige as the prince of Huainan, and these people will definitely be scared."

The head of the Xiao family in Jinzhou is the king of Huainan, a king with a different surname personally appointed by His Majesty.

Xiao Junji, as the eldest son of the Xiao family, is the prince of Huainan.

Xiao Junji explained: "The gatekeeper is the front of the county government, and it must not be underestimated."

"If I play prestige in front of the government office, won't it be a joke for others to see the government office?"

"This is not good for your official reputation."

"Furthermore, if this group of people blackmailed a commoner, you don't know it, and if you know it, you might deal with it casually."

"But if I was blackmailed, Saburo must be very angry and will definitely investigate them."

Pei Yi was really moved, Xiao Junji really thought of her in everything.

She said sincerely: "Ah Heng, it is really a blessing in my life to have a friend like you."

Xiao Junji knew that the aristocrats in Kyoto always pretended to be "friends" with their Longyang lovers, so he immediately smiled and said, "Me too."

Pei Yi smiled and said: "Now that the matter of the yamen servants has been dealt with, you should tell me about your affairs. Ah Heng, why did you come to Wanshou County this time?"

"There are three reasons." Xiao Junji put one arm on the small table between the two of them, and leaned his upper body towards Pei Yi, appearing very intimate.

He calmly smiled and said: "First, His Majesty summoned me to Beijing. I only recognized my identity as the eldest son of the Xiao family last year, and Your Majesty made it clear that he wanted to see me."

"Second, I will come to see my second brother Xiao Junlin, and take him home by the way. My second brother has been restless since he was a child, and he loves to play around. The older he gets, the more he goes too far. He didn't go home during the Chinese New Year last year. My father I really miss him a lot.”

"Third, I'm here to visit Saburo. We haven't seen each other for a long time since we parted last year. Sanlang has been promoted step by step, not to mention Tanhualang, and even a good job as the county magistrate of Wanshou County. Naturally, I should come to see you." Saburo congratulates you."

"Of these three reasons, only one is the most important, and the other two are just incidental." Xiao Junji smiled narrowly, "Sanlang guess, which one is the most important reason?"

Pei Yi smiled without thinking: "Of course it is the first one. Your Majesty summons you to the capital, and the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. You have to come to the capital anyway, so you can visit your second brother on the way, and then come to visit me. You won't delay anything." .”

Xiao Junji stared at the people who were close at hand, and said with a slight smile calmly: "However, if His Majesty summoned me to Beijing, I can say that I am sick."

"Even if my second brother doesn't come home for a long time, there's no need for me to invite him in person."

"But Sanlang Jun of the Pei family is a senior high school student, and Xi Deng is the county magistrate of Wanshou County, so I have to come."

Pei Yi was even more moved when she heard this, and said with a smile, "Ah Heng is really interesting."

Now Xiao Junji really wanted to play tricks with his sweetheart, so he asked instead: "I heard that the third prince shed tears because he felt sorry for the people just after I entered the city. Now, is the third prince still in Wanshou County?"

Pei Yi feels a little embarrassed when mentioning Huo Yuan now.

But she said as usual on her face: "It's still there."

Xiao Junji stared at her, and asked with deep meaning: "Then the third prince is going back to the county government office to rest at night?"

Pei Yi felt even more embarrassed, forced a smile and said: "The third prince doesn't live in the government office."

Xiao Junji raised his eyebrows slightly, secretly thinking that it would be better if Huo Yuan was not around, and it would be more convenient for him and Saburo to go to Yunyu together if there is one less person in the way.

He joked jokingly: "I thought the third prince would cling to you all day long, and he had to live in the county government."

Pei Yi was so embarrassed that she couldn't hold back her smile.

She thought about it and said: "It's better not to say this kind of joke. The third prince has a lot of things to do every day, and he is not the kind of person who waits for no brains."

Xiao Junji stopped talking.

He turned his eyes around the room, and asked with a smile, "Why didn't I see Qi Sha? Didn't he follow you anytime and anywhere before?"

Pei Yi said solemnly: "Qi Sha has a lot of work on hand now, and went out for business early this morning."

Xiao Junji said with ambiguous meaning: "Sanlang really values ​​the Seven Kills. He was originally a dead man. You, Sanlang, promoted him to be the bodyguard of the Ming Dynasty. Now you entrust him with important tasks and cultivate him step by step. It is really enviable."

If Xiao Junji hadn't reminded her, Pei Yi still wouldn't feel that she had cultivated Seven Kills.

But after listening to these words, she realized belatedly that no matter what her original intention was, she had indeed unknowingly given Qi Sha a lot of opportunities to practice.

Xiao Junji secretly observed her expression, lowered his voice and asked somewhat ambiguously: "When does Seven Kill usually return home?"

"There is no definite number." Pei Yi thought about it, "Today he has a lot of things on his hands, so he probably came back very late."

Xiao Junji smiled secretly, and asked again: "What about Xun Huan? He also followed you to Wanshou County?"

Pei Yi smiled lightly and shook her head, "Xun Huan is no longer in my house, and now I don't know where to go."

This statement is half true, half false, the person is indeed gone, but Pei Yi still knows exactly where he went.
