Li Nuo slept soundly. Not only did I sleep soundly, but when I woke up, I smelled delicious all over myself. A maid came in with toiletries. Li Nuo looked out the window and found that it was already bright, so he asked casually: "What time is it now?" A fat little maid replied: "Go back to the young master, it's just past six o'clock." It was between nine and eleven in the morning. Li Nuo couldn't remember when he went to bed last night, but it was definitely not before nine in the evening. He slept for more than twelve hours. After thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have fallen asleep while eating last night, and I don't know why he went back to his room and went to bed. No matter how hard Li Nuo tried to recall, he couldn't find any relevant memory. I didn’t think about it anymore. I hadn’t eaten for more than twelve hours, and I was hungry again because I got up late. Of course, he had breakfast alone. My wife didn’t know where she went. Li Nuo was used to her. The divine dragon has its head but not its tail. After finishing breakfast quickly, Li Nuo took Butler Wu with him again and went straight to the Chang'an County Government Office. In the carriage, Butler Wu sighed while driving.
Li Nuo opened the car curtain and asked, "What's wrong?" Butler Wu sighed softly and asked, "Master, can we not practice legalism and not go to trial the case?" Li Nuo glanced at him, "If you don't practice Legalism, why don't you wait to die if you don't practice Legalism?" It's better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. His father has so many enemies. If he doesn't work hard to become stronger, he might be implicated one day. What's more, if he didn't go to trial, he would die suddenly before his father's enemies could take action. He said very matter-of-factly: "My father is the minister of Dali Temple. I am not a normal practitioner. Don't you think it is very meaningful to help the people and punish evil and promote good..." "well……" Butler Wu didn't say anything more, just let out a long sigh. A moment later, Li Nuo arrived at the Chang'an County Government Office. As soon as he got off the carriage, his expression was startled. A long queue formed from the entrance of the court hall straight to the street, and the entire county government office was as noisy as a vegetable market. Li Nuo soon realized that he still took it for granted. Nothing is too much or too little. Yesterday there was no case to be adjudicated, but today there is no case to be adjudicated. Originally, he judged some small cases and disputes every day. Although there were many cases today, they were more trivial. Even ordinary squabbles between neighbors had to be judged by the county government. This takes up public resources. The county magistrate has many responsibilities, and judging cases is just one of them. If the county magistrate has to handle these small matters personally, even Pei Zhe, who knows the art of clones, will be too busy. Therefore, it is necessary to screen cases in advance. After Pei Zhe saw this scene, he summoned all the county government officials and led the people queuing outside the court hall to the outside of the county government office. He marked an area on the wide street and conducted different cases according to the cases complained by the people. arrangement. For more important cases, they were taken outside the court and waited in order to go to court.
For most minor disputes, there is no need to go to court, so the yamen clerks can mediate on the spot outside the court. In just a quarter of an hour, the county government, which was in chaos just now, immediately became orderly. Li Nuo couldn't help but sigh, no wonder he was just a small judge with an assistant in front, but he could be the magistrate of Jingxian County. He still had a lot to learn from Master Pei. In the court hall, Pei Zhe said to Li Nuo: "Young Master, I am going out of the city today to go to the villages to support the orphans and widows. The county government is here to trouble you." Li Nuo asked Pei Zhe: "Is there no county magistrate or county lieutenant in Chang'an County Government? Why haven't I seen them in the past few days?" Chang'an County Government is the most important county government in Daxia. It stands to reason that there will be a county magistrate and a county lieutenant to assist the county magistrate. For matters such as caring for the lonely and widowed, the county magistrate can represent him. County magistrates generally do not need to personally appear in everything. Pei Zhe sighed. Of course, the Chang'an County Government has a county magistrate and a county lieutenant. However, the two had formed an alliance before he came. They had never taken him seriously as a county magistrate. Recently, they both took leave and refused to help him share government affairs. Give him a kick. Although these two people were lower in rank than him, they had quite a background. If they joined forces, he, the county magistrate, could do nothing. Pei Zhe walked out of the court, and a figure walked into the county government office from outside. When Zhang Xiancheng saw Pei Zhe, a smile appeared on his fat face. He walked over slowly and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Mr. Pei looks a little haggard. Even if you are busy with official duties, you should pay attention to your health..." This sentence seems to be caring, but it is actually ironic. He and County Lieutenant Wang serve as assistant officers, but they do not help him share the government affairs. He has to handle all the affairs of the county government alone. How can he not feel haggard? He has already investigated the new county magistrate. He has no background. The reason why he became the Chang'an County Magistrate is because the previous county magistrate was killed by Li Xuanjing. The position of Chang'an County Magistrate is relatively important. All the forces in the DPRK and China were fighting for it. They argued endlessly and refused to give in. In the end, the person named Pei got the advantage. Zhang Xiancheng himself had hoped to get a chance to be the county magistrate, but Pei Zhe's airborne landing directly shattered his dream of being a county magistrate. Naturally, he was full of resentment towards the guy who had taken his place. Pei Zhe naturally heard his strange aura, glanced at Zhang County Cheng lightly, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your concern." Zhang Xian Cheng was about to say something when he suddenly heard the sound of panic coming from the courtroom. After being slightly startled, his face showed doubts, his brows furrowed and he asked: "Who is hearing the case in the courtroom? " In Chang'an County Government, there are only three people who are qualified to open a court and resolve the case. The county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant. Among them, he and the county lieutenant Wang wanted to resolve the case, but they had to get the approval of the county magistrate Pei Zhe. He had only met County Captain Wang before he came to the county government office, and Pei Zhe was standing here again. So who was trying the case in the court? Zhang Xiancheng walked outside the court hall, took a look around, and found that the person sitting in the main seat was a young man, but his eyesight was not very good and he couldn't see his face clearly. He had seen Pei Zhe's son, and he had seen Pei Zhe's son. From a physical point of view, the person who is deciding the case in the courtroom should be Pei Zhe's son who is studying in the academy. Okay, he was worried that he couldn't catch Pei, so he sent it to his door himself. His son was just a Confucian scholar with no official position. What qualifications did he have to sit in court and try cases? Zhang Xian Cheng immediately snorted coldly and reprimanded in front of the people in the courtyard and the government officials: "Sir Pei, I have only been away from the county government for a few days, and you have made the county government a mess. You have ruined the solemn government office. Just like the vegetable market, what kind of body is it? Not only that, but you also violated the laws of the imperial court and allowed people without official positions to arbitrate the case. Do you think this is your former remote country? There is no law in your eyes. Whether there is a court or not, I must intervene with you. Book……" Pei Zhe just glanced at him, said nothing, turned around and walked towards the back office. Zhang Xiancheng puffed up his chest and couldn't suppress the curvature of the corners of his mouth. Pei Zhe, Pei Zhe, you are really stupid. This is Chang'an and Kyoto. Do you still think that this is your small local county government? With just you as the county magistrate, you can cover the sky with one hand and do whatever you want. Do you think you can do whatever you want? ?
He was about to return to his yamen office to write a memorial to impeach Pei Zhe, when the whispers of several yamen servants reached his ears. "Did you hear that the merit-exam doctor has resigned?" "Master Pei is so powerful. He has defeated the doctor who took the exam only a month ago. I still remember that the former county magistrate nodded and bowed like a dog in front of the doctor..." "Haha, what does it mean to be a doctor in the exam? Behind Mr. Pei is the Qing of Dali Temple!" "Ah, who did you hear this from?" "Don't you know, the young master who has been judging cases in the county government these days is the son of Lord Li Xuanjing, the minister of Dali Temple. Who doesn't know about the friendship between Young Master Li and Lord Pei? Young Master Li always has lunch at Lord Pei's house... …” "I heard that the two of them even visited a brothel together. Gee, what kind of friendship is this..." … Zhang Xian Cheng's body trembled, and he held on to the wall before he stood firm. The sun was scorching above his head, but at this moment, it was as if a basin of ice water was pouring down from his head, chilling him from head to toe. Li Xuanjing, Li Xuanjing, the minister of Dali Temple! The person named Pei actually climbed up to this big tree! Zhang County Cheng will never forget how the former Chang'an County Magistrate died. The Dali Temple Minister crushed a fifth-rank official to death, just like crushing an ant to death. Pei Zhe is Li Xuanjing's man. Li Xuanjing was not only the minister of Dali Temple, he also controlled the Mirror Division, the largest secret espionage agency in Daxia. He was afraid that as soon as he handed over the documents to impeach Pei Zhe, he would die in the prison of Dali Temple the next day. Thinking of this, he was sweating profusely and ran towards the back hall of the county government office. A room somewhere in the back hall of the county government office. Pei Zhe was changing clothes and preparing to go out to care for the orphans and widows in the county. At this time, a figure stumbled in from outside. When he heard the door closing, Pei Zhe thought it was his wife. When he looked back, he realized it was Zhang Xian Cheng. Pei Zhe frowned and asked, "Zhang, what do you want?" Plop! Zhang Xian Cheng's knees went weak, he knelt on the ground, hugged his legs, and said with tears in his nose: "Master Pei, there were so many people outside just now. It's your fault that the official is wrong. I kneel down for you. From now on, I will do whatever Mr. Pei tells me to do. Please forgive me this time."
