Luo Xiaoye is a patrol inspector, and the patrol inspector is a military officer, who is under the Guizhou Command and Commander Office. Going further up, he will be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. However, he is different from ordinary troops. He usually has to obey the county magistrate's dispatch and is barely considered a subordinate of the county magistrate.

However, over the years, the local garrison troops and their families have formed a relatively independent group, just like an independent kingdom, with local governments having extremely limited influence on them, and local officials generally do not have to be responsible for their affairs. In this way, the magistrate Hua would not care even more about inspector Luo.

"Oh! I remember how energetic I was when I took office. I thought that as the first county magistrate of Hu County, I would make achievements here, lay a solid foundation for my career, and leave my eternal reputation in Hu County. Who knows..."

County Magistrate Hua looked at Chengchen on the roof in a daze, feeling sad: "What else do I have to say about this now? I must have failed the exam. However, the situation in Huxian is complicated and the court's officials are not ignorant. I, a new Jinshi, came here to be an official, and I was exiled. What else can the court do to me?

I have been here for three years, and I have no credit for it, so I have to work hard. Even if I fail the exam, I think the court will not ignore it at all. I should not be dismissed from office. If I am just demoted and transferred, I will admit it, although I am unwilling to accept it... Alas!"

The officials under his command were still reporting to him about his work, and County Magistrate Hua was already considering his future.

Ye Xiaotian brought Shui Wu and Le Yao, and Fuwaer walked into the county government office with confusion. They just came in so swaggeringly. There was not even a person standing guard at the county government office, or they didn't know where the officers on guard had sneaked away.

After entering the county government, it was even rare to see a person. He had occasionally seen a yamen servant who looked like a clerk from afar. Before he could come forward to ask questions, the man shook his body and flashed into a signing room, ignoring their group at all.

Ye Xiaotian stood in the yard and was stunned for a while, and said to Shui Wu: "This place is very different from the Central Plains. Even this county government has all kinds of strangeness. In my opinion, let's go, go to Tongren immediately, and don't worry about the matter here."

Shui Wu said in surprise: "Then... let's not care about Aidianshi and others."

Ye Xiaotian said: "I always feel that this Huxian is full of weirdness, so we should not cause trouble. Since Aidianshi came to take up his post, once he doesn't report for a long time, the government will definitely ask and will find them. Don't forget that there are dead horses and broken vehicles at the mountain pass, which are easy to find."

Shui Wu hesitated for a moment, always feeling that since she has been here with the help of others, if she doesn't even inform her of her death, it would be a bit unkind. What's more...

Shui Wu suddenly thought of something and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Brother Ye, we are here by car from Aidianshi in Lujiao Town, and the people in Lujiao Town know very well. We have been in Lujiao Town for three days, and the people in the town know your background. If we leave, when the government asks about Aidianshi's whereabouts the day after tomorrow, you may become the biggest suspect."

Ye Xiaotian was suddenly awakened by her and acted as an official in the government. A court ordered an official to be killed within their jurisdiction. This is a very important case. If the government cannot solve the case, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not take the blame. It is better to report the case in time and set himself the identity of the survivor and the person who reported the case first.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaotian said happily: "It turns out that there is a good wife in the family, and men will not suffer any misfortune. Your words make sense."

Xue Shuiwu hadn't heard him say crazy words once or twice. She found that her thin and tender dough was getting thicker and thicker. At least now, she was no longer ashamed to hear him say this. She just spitted on him habitually, and was too lazy to even refute.

Ye Xiaotian smiled and snapped his fingers and said, "Let's find someone to finish the matter here, and then go back to his parents' home happily."

Ye Xiaotian looked around and walked straight to the signing room that someone had just flashed into. When he reached the door, he looked inside and saw the word "Hu Ke" hanging at the door. Two people were sitting in the main room, sitting opposite each other, looking leisurely as if he had been stolen for half a day of life.

Ye Xiaotian immediately stepped into the door, sang a fat look to the two of them, and bowed to him: "Two gentlemen, Xiaomin has a big event and wants to meet the magistrate of the county."

One of the older ones immediately stood up and said to the chess friend: "Sir, have something to do, so let's put the chess piece like this first, let's continue later."

The other person nodded, and the elderly left the sign-in room, picked up a broom from the door, and swept the corridor with a thunderous sound. It turned out that this person was a employed worker in charge of cleaning in the yamen.

The man who still couldn't sit upright was about forty years and had a thin face. He didn't look at Ye Xiaotian, but instead lay on the chessboard and studied carefully for a while, secretly picked up the other party's chess piece and changed the place. Then he laughed twice, got up and walked inside, and piled up the words and said, "Follow me!"

As soon as the signing room entered the door, it was the main hall for the guests. There were several ear rooms next to it, like candied haws. Ye Xiaotian followed the person into the first room. The person sat down after the case, bent down, and blew hard. A layer of dust immediately flew out from the four treasures of the study on the table, on the desk, on the desk, and on the four treasures of the study.

Ye Xiaotian held his breath and thought to himself: "How long has it been since this department been opened?"

The man straightened his waist, glanced at Ye Xiaotian lazily, and asked, "What's your business? Are you building a household registration, transferring the household registration, or relocating?"

Ye Xiaotian said: "Sir, Xiaomin only passed through Guixian. There is a big case that he has to report to the magistrate."

The man squinted at him and said, "You are the magistrate who can see him as soon as you want? Say, what's the matter?"

Ye Xiaotian said: "The new Lord Dianshi Ai Feng Ai of this county was killed by bandits on the way."

"Cough cough cough cough cough..." The clerk did not breathe, and he coughed for a while. He stood up and said in surprise: "What did you say? Say it again!"

Ye Xiaotian said: "The new Lord Dian Shi Ai from Gui County met a thief halfway and died!"

The clerk widened his eyes and looked at Ye Xiaotian in horror. He asked again in disbelief and finally believed Ye Xiaotian's words. The clerk was stunned for a moment, then quickly flashed out the book case and said to Ye Xiaotian: "Hurry up! Come with me!"

The clerk led Ye Xiaotian out of the signing room. Shui Wu, Le Yao and Fu Waer were standing in the yard. The clerk's eyes lit up when he saw Shui Wu's pretty appearance. When he saw the cute Fu Waer, he felt strange again. However, his mind was full of news of Dian Shi's murder, but he had no time to read more.

The old man in charge of cleaning heard that this young man wanted to see the county magistrate, but he didn't know what he was, so he was still pretending to sweep the ground. The ground had not been swept for a long time. Anyway, the county magistrate never came here, and there was a thick layer of dust on the ground.

The old Cangtou didn't sprinkle water, and grabbed a big broom and swept the dust. The household scribe held his nose and said, "Okay, okay, don't pretend. Get out of here quickly. I have something big to do and I want to see the county master."

Lao Cangtou hurriedly flashed aside, and the clerk took Ye Xiaotian, covered his nose and walked through the corridor and rushed into the second hall.

In the second class, Luo Xiaoye reported the affairs of the headquarters in a concise manner. At this time, the tax ambassador Chen Muyan was changing to report to the county magistrate. Chen Muyan briefly reported the poor tax situation in the county, and then told the blood and tears of the tax officials.

Huxian is not a major agricultural county, and it does not receive much tax in agriculture. The county's taxes mainly rely on commerce and transportation. Because this county is a section of the main road from Yunnan to Huguang, the customs taxes in this section have become the main source of economic income of the county.

However, the transportation of this post road was almost completely in the hands of Qi Mu, a great man in the county. This Qi Mu is a descendant of a military household who garrisoned the border. The Qi family has been in the local area for hundreds of years and can be regarded as a local household.

His father died in an accident to save Luo Xiaoye's grandfather, the grandfather of the current inspector Luo Xiaoye, and since then, the Qi family has become the great benefactor of the Luo family. His brother inherited the military position, while he made a living by himself, summoned a group of porters, and started a transportation business.

With the support of the Inspection Department, his business grew bigger and bigger, and later it gradually became a climate. Now he was the most powerful person in the county. He originally wanted to rely on the Inspection Department, but now he is extremely powerful and is the benefactor of the Luo family. Even the Inspection Department was suppressed by him.

Today, Qi Mu has been operating for decades, and has become a domineering power. He has become a dominant player in Huling. He is in the three-legged tribes of Yi and Miao in this county. The creature Tak Ding is like a tiger in the eyes of the powerless and powerless little people, but he is a kitten and a puppy in his eyes and will not take it seriously at all.

However, there was no intersection between the two sides, so the Tax Department dared not cause trouble for him. However, the magistrate Hua had been incompetent in the past two years. When he saw the year of the big test, he woke up as if he wanted to make his political achievements better, so he gave the Tax Department a dead order to collect taxes.

As a result, the Tax Department had to bite the bullet and collect taxes from the industries under Qi Mu's name and had a conflict with them. Not long ago, several tax deputies under Chen Mubo were beaten by Qi Mu's people. They are still recuperating at home and have nowhere to pay for medical expenses.

County Magistrate Meng and Qi Mu have always been in a sarcastic relationship. He sneered in his heart when Chen Muyan complained here. He knew in his heart that County Magistrate Hua had no real power and could not do anything to Qi Mu. The tax ambassador was not really going to complain, but just saying his grievances and shirking responsibility.

The magistrate Hua was upset when he heard this. The clerk rushed in. The magistrate Hua finally found a target for venting and stood up in anger, "Li Yuncong, you are getting more and more unruly. This county is discussing business with all the adults, who asked you to come in."

Although Li Shuli did not dare to speak blatantly, he was not afraid of this puppet magistrate who had no real power. He immediately said, "Master, don't discuss official matters, but now a big thing has happened, a fatal thing."

When Hua Magistrate heard the faint scent of teasing in his words, he felt even more annoyed, but he knew that no one in the entire Hu County was afraid of him, so he had to pretend that he didn't hear it and asked again: "What a fatal matter?"

Li Yuncong said: "Master, someone has just come to the county government to report the case, saying that the new Dianshi Aifeng in the county was killed by thieves on his way to his post!"

All the officials were shocked and their eyes turned to Li Yuncong, and the hall was silent for a moment.

After a while, he heard a "bang", but County Magistrate Hua sat back on the chair with his butt.
