Don't Use Uncommon Words: "Hahahaha — I'm dying of laughter. I'm not convinced by anything, I'm only convinced by the streamer."
Lazy Otaku: "There are always stupid mortals who want to die. Isn't it good to be alive?"
The Fairy Queen's Crimson: "The streamer's words are both threatening and cursing. If I were the county chief, I would have been too ashamed to face anyone. As the county chief, he couldn't protect the people under his rule, so he ran away to avoid the limelight when there was a disaster. Now that the streamer has taken back the place, driven away the bandits, and taken care of the territory in good order, now he wants to stand out and use his power to oppress others. Bah! "
My Pig Teammate: "You can't say that, can you? These three districts do not belong to the streamer. After all, he is the county chief. "
The Opposite God's Rival: "So what if he is the county chief? Is it still a hereditary system where the son inherits the father's business? Fengyi County does not belong to them. Where were they when the Tsing Yi Army attacked? Did they lead the people and soldiers to resist the foreign bandits? They did nothing, and no one knew where they had taken refuge. Now that they have settled down, they want to pick the fruits. Dream on! I support the streamer's criticism. "
Jiang Pengji thought that the county chief of Fengyi County had died in the disaster of war.
As the audience in the livestream said, whoever had the ability to pick the fruits that she had cultivated was welcome to try.
Sending an Inspection Deputy of the Prefect who assumed the authority of a tiger to oppress others and snatch the three districts from her hands. Even a daydream was not that beautiful.
The Inspection Deputy of the Prefect only swallowed his anger after a long while and said with a livid face, "How can the two be lumped together? District Magistrate Liu, don't try to change the topic. We are talking about your private mobilization of troops to occupy the three districts, not about the county chief's personal words and deeds …"
Jiang Pengji snorted contemptuously. "Why can't they be lumped together? When the Tsing Yi Army attacked, the county chief did not appease the people and did not lead the people and soldiers to resist the foreign enemies. Instead, he took his family and money and fled in the night. What right does he have to say that I, Liu Xi, am in the wrong just because of this? The Inspection Deputy of the Prefect reminded me of one thing. If this matter is written into a memorial and submitted to His Majesty, how will His Majesty decide? "
The Inspection Deputy of the Prefect's face was livid and bloodless. Facing the pressure exerted by her, his fat body trembled involuntarily.
Fleeing from the bandit army without putting up a fight was enough for the prefectural governor to lose his position.
What was even more shameless was that the county chief wanted to take advantage of Jiang Pengji. He tried to snatch away her painstaking efforts and then claim the credit for driving away the Tsing Yi Army. He would write a lengthy memorial to the throne and claim credit in front of the Emperor to pave his way to a higher position.
How could such a small thought escape Jiang Pengji's eyes?
The Inspection Deputy of the Prefect stammered, "District Magistrate Liu, you are threatening …"
Jiang Pengji said calmly, "Recovering the three districts is my credit! Even if I'm willing to hand over the three counties to your County Governor, let me ask you a face-slapping question. How can he guard the three counties with that little bit of ability? If you don't have the ability, don't take on this job. The enemy can destroy a county in just three to five days, but if the people want to rebuild the county, it may take three to five years. Deputy of the Prefect, do you understand this? "
She was just short of pointing at his nose and saying, "You can't do it!"
How could the Inspection Deputy of the Prefect keep his face after being questioned and mocked by a young man like this?
In the past, when he was inspecting the villages and counties, which official did not flatter him?
Now that he was no longer in the limelight, he was being ridiculed by a fledgling kid. One could imagine how big the gap was.
The Inspection Deputy of the Prefect looked at Jiang Pengji coldly. The anger in his heart suppressed his fear and he threatened her with a fake smile.
"In that case, you can go ahead and do it, District Magistrate Liu. To put it bluntly, officialdom is not a child's game. You can't rise to the top just because you have the ability. The County Governor is giving you face. District Magistrate Liu, you'd better stop while you're ahead. If it weren't for the County Governor's respect for your father, he would have sent a memorial to Chenzhou and sued you! It might even cost you your life. "
A mere district magistrate suing the County Governor. Who did this kid think he was?
Jiang Pengji snorted. She looked calm and was not intimidated by the harsh words of the Inspection Deputy of the Prefect at all.
She clapped her hands. The sound of her clapping was crisp and clear. The Inspection Deputy of the Prefect's heart suddenly tightened and he could not sit still.
Outside the door, Dian Yan heard the sound and came in with a long box in his hands.
The fat on the Inspection Deputy of the Prefect's face squeezed his eyes into slits. He tried his best to widen his eyes, not daring to look away.
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Pengji said, "I'm showing you a treasure."
Treasure?
The Inspection Deputy of the Prefect's mind began to spin. Could it be that District Magistrate Liu was only acting tough on the surface, but he was actually frightened?
If not, why did this person want to show him a treasure?
At that moment, various guesses flashed through the Inspection Deputy of the Prefect's mind. He saw Dian Yan respectfully place the long box in front of him.
The black-faced, brawny man with a terrifying aura moved cautiously, which made the Inspection Deputy of the Prefect even more convinced that there was a precious treasure inside.
Haha, she was so rude to him just now, and now she wants to bribe him with a treasure?
The Inspection Deputy of the Prefect's heart skipped a beat, and he despised Jiang Pengji even more.
Was he such an easy person to get rid of?
As he thought about it, he reached out and opened the box. There was a long knife with unparalleled sharpness lying inside, and the reflection of light at that moment stung his eyes.
The Inspection Deputy of the Prefect silently looked up at Dian Yan, who was half-squatting down, only to see that the black-faced, brawny man had already placed his hand on the handle of the knife, picked it up easily, and placed the blade against his own neck … The Inspection Deputy of the Prefect was dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events, and he dared not move an inch.
"District … District Magistrate Liu …"
The Inspection Deputy of the Prefect swallowed nervously, cold sweat dripping down his forehead. The oily sweat slid down his cheeks and flowed past his chin, wetting the collar of his shirt. His plump body trembled like a sieve, and he looked extremely pitiful.
"I think the head of the Inspection Deputy of the Prefect is quite stout. Chop it off and hang it in front of the door. It should be able to exorcise evil spirits."
Jiang Pengji asked Dian Yan. Dian Yan's face was cold as he waited for his lord's instructions.
"My head can't exorcise evil spirits …"
The Inspection Deputy of the Prefect said pitifully, even changing the way he addressed himself.
Jiang Pengji said, "I'm a young man in the ways of officialdom, so of course I'm not as experienced and ruthless as you. But I'm clear about one thing. I have troops in my hands, but the county chief doesn't. Even if His Majesty backs him up, he still won't be able to take back the three districts, let alone defend them. Go back and make it clear to him. I respect him as the county chief, but if he doesn't … Haha, given the situation in the north, it's normal for one or two county chiefs to die. "
The Inspection Deputy of the Prefect was burning with rage, but his life was more important. He hurriedly said, "I understand, I'll definitely convey your message."
How could he hide his thoughts from Jiang Pengji?
She stood up and said to Dian Yan, "Treat this Inspection Deputy of the Prefect well, and make sure he sees our sincerity."
Dian Yan responded in a low, muffled voice, "Yes, my lord. Please rest assured, I will definitely make the Inspection Deputy of the Prefect feel at home."
The Inspection Deputy of the Prefect drew a small wound on his neck with the long knife, and he wanted to cry but had no tears.
