C2228 County Magistrate
The County Magistrate did not like to read books, but there were books piled up on the bookshelves. A wisp of goat beard, the appearance was not bad. There was only one old wife in the family, and she had not taken in a concubine for dozens of years. However, she often went to brothels, and the time spent in brothels far exceeded the time spent at home.
The county magistrate was very happy with Dongfang Qingyu's arrival. He had never seen Dongfang Qingyu before, but Dongfang Qingyu had already given him some credit.
No one else had noticed that the eastern barbarians had appeared in the heartland of the Central Plains. He was the only one who had found out. He had even taken out the eastern barbarians and put them in the pot. This was a great victory that had not been achieved in more than ten years. With such a heaven-shattering contribution, even if the Six Fans Gate and the county magistrate were to split up, it would still be enough for him to advance a grade. Moreover, he had also brought back a large amount of dirty silver, which was two taels of silver. He had to hand over the silver taels truthfully. However, according to the official rules, those who saw had a share, and the yamen had left 50%. This silver was enough for the county magistrate to easily complete the three years of examination.
As long as the higher-ups did not deliberately make things difficult for him, the county magistrate would definitely be promoted by two levels. And all of this was brought by Dongfang Qingyu.
The County Magistrate was not interested in the silver, but he still had to give him a gift. There were many ancient books in Dongfang Qingyu's spatial ring. He casually took out two of them, and the County Magistrate was so happy that he praised them repeatedly.
Most of Dongfang Qingyu's ancient books were obtained from ancient tombs and ancient ruins. It was hard to say whether they were valuable or not, but there was one thing. There was no doubt that they were ancient. It just so happened to be the County Magistrate's appetite. The County Magistrate took it out to decorate the front door. What he wanted was a vintage style that was full of charm.
With Dongfang Qingyu's eyesight, he could tell with a single glance that these two ancient books were ancient books. They were incomparably precious. He put them away carefully and then brought Dongfang Qingyu out of the door.
At this moment, the bailiff came to report.
"Tang Wan Er requests an audience!"
"What business does she have with this County Magistrate?" The County Magistrate and Dongfang Qingyu spoke amiably, but when faced with his subordinates, he was incomparably dignified and did not smile.
The bailiff naturally could not answer.
"Tang Wan Er wants to plant fruit trees, she should be here to apply for a mountain forest." The censor spoke, it seemed like Wan Er had begged him before.
"Wan Er is not bad, she paid quite a bit of tax for my Azure Dragon City. We should give someone like that a convenience. There should be an ownerless mountain forest nearby, right? So what if we give her a piece!" The county magistrate thought for a moment and said.
Just as the historical record was about to agree, Dongfang Qingyu spoke.
"County Magistrate, I have something I don't know if I should say."
"Please speak, Warlord!" The County Magistrate attached great importance to Dongfang Qingyu. It was not only because of his great contributions, but also because of his identity as a Combat King.
"The stronghold of the eastern barbarians we destroyed was in the Luofu Mountain. What a coincidence. Tang Wan Er bought the mountain forest just in time. The eastern barbarians had built such a large underground palace, but no one had discovered it. One had to know that Tang Wan'er had bought the forest for the seed fruit tree. There were people working every day, but they knew nothing about the eastern barbarians. Was the eastern barbarians doing a good job of keeping it a secret, or did they have something to do with it? It was hard to say. If Tang Wan'er did not know anything, the eastern barbarians' appearance would only be an accident. Of course, nothing would happen. What if Tang Wan'er knew something and didn't report it? Dongfang Qingyu didn't continue. He believed the county magistrate could understand what he meant.
"Is there such a thing?" The county magistrate's face changed, and he turned to ask history.
The censor did not participate in the eastern barbarians' case, so he was not very clear about it. He quickly walked out and found the inspector.
"Yes. When we went down the mountain, we saw a lot of farmers planting fruit trees. I also checked that the current owner of Luofu Mountain is Tang Wan Er." The inspector said.
The county magistrate's expression suddenly became very gloomy. He glanced at the history book and said coldly: "In the future, when Tang Wan Er comes looking for me, just say that I'm not here"
"Yes sir!" The history book understood what the County Magistrate meant. The county magistrate was an official's fan, and would not allow any factors that would affect his promotion to appear. Although the County Magistrate also loved beautiful women, Tang Wan Er was indeed a beautiful woman. But compared to the Magistrate position, beautiful women are nothing.
With the position of an official, there are as many beauties as you want, the County Magistrate is very clear on this point.
Tang Wan Er, who was waiting outside, didn't know why, but the expression of the bailiff who had just been very friendly suddenly changed. She thought that the money hadn't been paid properly. However, after adding the money, the eunuch still had a cold expression on his face. She understood that it wasn't a matter of money. Because she didn't know what the problem was, she didn't dare to look for anyone. She could only leave unhappily. As soon as she left, Dongfang Qingyu and the county magistrate came out.
Shuntian and the magistrate were a few hundred meters apart, so there was no need for a car. Dongfang Qingyu and the magistrate walked over. When they were in Qingyu Bar, they stopped.
"Why didn't you go to Tang Wine House?" Seeing Dongfang Qingyu walk straight into Qingyu Bar, the magistrate felt strange. In his eyes, the Tang Wine House was more famous. Not only was the Tang Wine House established early, but it was also because two deputy city lords greeted him.
"If Tang Wan'er is related to the eastern barbarians, it's not a big deal for me to get into trouble. Don't make the registrar unhappy!" Dongfang Qingyu didn't forget to give Tang Wan Er a glance.
"Look at me, I almost forgot!" The county magistrate patted his head, blaming Tang Wan Er for leaving such a deep impression in his heart. The top ten beauties were definitely not comparable to those coquettish girls in the brothels.
Everyone had their hobbies, and so did the NPCs. Basically, every NPC had a hobby. It would depend on whether they could find it or not. The hobby of the book was wine. However, those who were close to it would not know. Dongfang Qingyu had also taken advantage of the county magistrate. Otherwise, he would not have known about it so easily.
As a county magistrate, he wouldn't go into a shop to buy drinks. However, he didn't have the slightest bit of impatience when he accompanied Dongfang Qingyu today. His identity as the War King was enough to dispel all his worries.
The staff of Qingyu Bar didn't know that Dongfang Qingyu was the boss behind the scenes, nor did they know about the relationship between the boss and Ye Feifei. Only the old staff knew. However, the old employees were not around. The employees of Azure Dragon City were all the younger generation. Therefore, when they saw Dongfang Qingyu enter, they did not feel much. They just treated it as a normal customer greeting.
Ye Feifei saw it, but Dongfang Qingyu looked over. She immediately acted as if nothing had happened. The two of them had been together for a long time. There were many things that one look was enough for them. Azure Dragon City was a main city. At the same time, it was also because the shop had just opened. Fish and dragons were mixed together, and all kinds of forces were fighting. Ye Feifei was worried that something would happen, so she had been keeping watch here for a period of time.
It was impossible for Chief Xing and the others to keep an eye on them. They also had business to attend to.
"This winery is not bad!" The county magistrate was attracted by the decoration style of Qingyu Bar the moment he came in. It integrated the essence of modern and ancient style and contained the characteristics of Qingyu Bar renovation.
If it was inferior quality wine, it did not matter what occasion it was to drink. However, high-grade wine was particular about the environment, mood, and internal and external coordination. The better the wine, the higher the requirements for its environment and atmosphere. Qingyu Bar had long been set as the middle and high-end. Now, Ye Feifei was a wine brewing Grandmaster. Azure Dragon City was set to be top fine wine.
Therefore, the renovation style was first-rate. Maintaining, designing, and renovation costs added up to 20 million RMB. It was not a joke.
"Only the wine brewed by the winery with such taste can enter the mouth of the Lord Registrar." Dongfang Qingyu said with a smile. Under the lead of the staff, he went to a private seat and waited.
"The War King is really considerate." The county magistrate was looking more and more favorably on Dongfang Qingyu. With such a high status, how could he pay attention to such details?
"Here is the best rice wine, fruit wine, and other types of wine. One jar each. Remember, I only want the best." Dongfang Qingyu said to the staff.
"Okay, wait a moment!" The staff member's eyes lit up. The best wine was not cheap. It was still each type. This was a big customer. Just this order alone would not be worth less than 300,000 RMB.
"What's wrong with Warlord?" The county magistrate was just about to praise Dongfang Qingyu for being generous when he suddenly felt a chill. Dongfang Qingyu's expression had unknowingly turned cold. He followed Dongfang Qingyu's gaze and looked over, his gaze slowly turning cold.
A player took out a bag of unknown medicinal powder and shot it into a jar of wine next to the table without anyone noticing.
Poison! Even a fool would be able to guess! For someone to dare to do such a thing secretly, it would not be a tonic.
Under his treatment, such a thing actually happened, and Warlord even saw it. It was simply a slap to his face. His expression was gloomy. He felt that he had been ignoring this matter for too long.
The ones drinking were four players. One was Warrior, one was a Thief, one was a Mage, and one was an Archer. The Archers were more polite; they stood up and poured wine for everyone. Warrior was more greedy. The Archers poured wine for everyone but did not sit down. He picked up the bowl and finished it in one gulp.
The thief and Mage waited until the archers put down their wine bowls and sat down. Then, they picked up their bowls and were about to raise their glasses when a sudden change occurred.
Clang!
The bowl fell on the table, bounced up, and fell to the ground, breaking into pieces. Warrior's face was in pain. Suddenly, his expression froze. He opened his mouth wide and stopped moving. His body shook a few times, and he fell straight down.
Bang!
The sound of the ground hitting the ground startled everyone on the first floor. They all looked over. Warrior's face was facing upwards, and blood was flowing out from his seven apertures. It was an incomparably terrifying scene. He had already lost his breath, and the red number that was slowly floating above his head and the blooming Gray Light also proved this result.
"He's dead!" The sound of a pin dropping could be heard from this floor.
"Poison, poison, the wine is poisonous!" The Thief shouted.
The Mage and the Archer threw the bowl in their hands as if they were scalding hot hands. The wine splashed onto the wooden floor, and with a sizzling sound, White Smoke emerged. The wooden floor was corroded at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The poison was fierce!
The wine was poisonous!
The players were in an uproar.
"Silence!" Just as the players were about to panic, the county magistrate stood up. His body emitted a bright yellow light, and his authority enveloped the entire Qingyu Bar. Regardless of whether the players were willing or not, they were all forced to shut their mouths. Unable to make a sound, he lowered his head slightly and his body was covered by a strong pressure.
Dongfang Qingyu was right beside the county magistrate, and he had the deepest feeling. He was currently level 103, and was considered the highest level player in the game. However, he did not have any ability to resist Shangguan Wei. If it was not for the War King title, he would not have been able to resist. The power of authority... It was really amazing.
"Wine has no poison, there was someone who poisoned it, this official saw it clearly" The county magistrate's dignified voice was filled with justice. The players suddenly understood.
In the crowd, a player's face changed dramatically. He had never thought that his meticulously planned operation would come to an abrupt end as soon as it started. His legs trembled slightly, and he did not dare to look at the County Magistrate.
"Do you want to stand out yourself, or do you want me to drag you out?" The County Magistrate's tone was cold and emotionless.
The players were still hesitating, but the county magistrate did not give him any more time. He shouted, "Where is Chief Zhao? Capture this criminal who has poisoned his life and throw him into the Imperial Prison. He will be executed in the future!"
He did not even need to interrogate him to convict him. This showed how furious the county magistrate was. Dongfang Qingyu did not even notice where Chief Zhao had come from. He raised his hand and a black chain fell on the players' bodies.
Dongfang Qingyu didn't know before that there were many types of shackles on the captives. Depending on the situation of the criminals, the instruments of torture used were different. The lightest was the iron chains. The felons were all chained, and the chains were divided into wood, iron, and meteorite chains. The wood chains were further divided into 100 kilograms of ordinary wood chains, and 200 kilograms of heavy wood chains. Iron chains weighed 300 kilograms, while meteorite chains weighed 500 kilograms. Just think about it... 500 pounds of weight on the body, slightly weaker... They would be crushed to death. Even a powerful expert would find it difficult to move an inch under the weight of 500 jins. In reality, shackles were a terrifying punishment.
This player's luck was not good. He was directly shackled by heavy wooden chains. The weight of 200 Jin almost made him lie down. He called Zhong University innocent.
It was him!
When the player tried to raise his head to shout injustice, he revealed his face. Dongfang Qingyu was very surprised. It was actually Spring Rain, the person whose memory had almost disappeared. The first time they recognized him was because he had appraised a piece of equipment and caused a commotion. However, as the difference in status between the two of them grew bigger and bigger, he had already forgotten about Spring Rain and his sister. He didn't expect to encounter such a situation.
Dongfang Qingyu looked left and right and really saw the panicked Skyhill New Rain in the crowd. They had always been inseparable. Sure enough, they also attacked when they did bad things.
"I have seen it with my own eyes. How can I wrongly accuse you?" The county magistrate waved his hand and the process of Spring Rain poisoning appeared in midair. The county magistrate's eyes were like a camera. He did not need any equipment to restore what he saw.
Some players originally had some doubts, but upon seeing this, they understood. The County Magistrate might be bribed and randomly judge a case, but the video could not be faked. This was set by the system.
"The evidence is conclusive, and you still want to cause trouble? How dare you? If you don't accept the teachings, your crime will be increased by one. If you drag it down, you will be heavily punished by thirty boards! " The county magistrate shouted angrily.
Spring Rain's cry stopped abruptly, and his face did not have a trace of blood on it. The players felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at Spring Rain with pity. If the bailiffs who beat people up didn't go easy on them... It wasn't any worse than pinching his fingers. Chief Zhao did not give Spring Rain a chance to struggle and removed his chin. He did not give ___ the chance to speak, lest he anger the County Magistrate. He grabbed ___ like a chicken and left.
"Everyone, drink well. Don't let your mood be affected by some unlawful people. Hmm, the wine in Qingyu Bar was not bad. I thought that I could be ranked first in Azure Dragon City." The county magistrate kept his authority, and the players returned to normal. Dongfang Qingyu:... " ___ noticed that the new rain from Space Mountain had left with Chief Zhao. Without thinking, he knew that they had gone to find a way. He didn't feel sorry for this pair of siblings. They deserved it.
The magistrate and Dongfang Qingyu did not give the players a chance to watch. After Ye Feifei gave them the drinks, they quickly left.
