Report

As the person who slept beside Hua Qingfeng, Su Ya could be considered the person who understood him the best. Just as Su Ya said, what Hua Qingfeng lacked the most was the courage to take charge. He always wanted to hide in the back when there was a problem and instigate or incite others to step forward.

Even this time, he clearly understood that if the conflict between the Gao and Li stockaded villages was not handled well, the consequences would be unimaginable. As the official seal of Gourd County, he must take full responsibility, but he still did not have the courage to take the initiative to solve the problem.

But he wanted Wang Ning to take charge, how could the old fox bear the responsibility for him? Ye Xiaotian volunteered, but Hua Qingfeng was unwilling. He was well aware of Ye Xiaotian's ability to cause trouble, and he was even more afraid of Ye Xiaotian's ability to steal the spotlight. So when Xu Boyi stepped forward, he immediately agreed.

From Hua Qingfeng's point of view, Xu Boyi was his most reliable ally. Xu Boyi was not as astute as Register Wang, and he did not have a good foundation in the local area like Register Wang. At the same time, he was not like Ye Xiaotian, who did things unconventionally and ignored the rules of officialdom. He was a person who was easy to control.

Ye Xiaotian said: "Magistrate is in charge of justice, but I am the one who carries out the task. Since I have already taken up the post, if I let Magistrate take the lead, wouldn't it be a breach of my duty? Magistrate, let me … "

Before Ye Xiaotian could finish, Hua Qingfeng interrupted: "Yeh Dianshi, you have just taken up the post and are not familiar with the situation. Moreover, this is a very important matter. It is better for County Magistrate Xu to take charge. You do not know, those people in the mountains are uncivilized and do not fear the law. They are not easy to get along with. "

In other words, Hua Qingfeng was implying that those people are very barbaric. Xu Boyi is the Magistrate and they can more or less take him seriously. But if you, the Warden, go, they will not take you seriously. So … save it.

Ye Xiaotian is concerned about Gao Ya and Li Bohao, and sincerely wants to do something for the people. He does not want to use this matter as a weapon against Magistrate Hua and County Magistrate Xu. Since Hua Qingfeng said so, Ye Xiaotian can only drop the matter.

Hua Qingfeng said to Xu Boyi: "County Magistrate Xu, you will set off tomorrow morning!"

Xu Boyi said righteously, "The situation is urgent, why do we have to wait for daybreak? This lowly official will let that Wang Xiao Er lead the way, and we will enter the mountain overnight to settle this matter! "

Hua Qing Feng said happily: "District Magistrate Xu is so diligent in his work, he is a role model for all the officials! I am very pleased! "

Xu Boyi immediately picked seven to eight constables. Because it is more suitable to travel in the mountains, he did not change into his official uniform. He let Wang Xiao 'Er lead the way and hurriedly left the county government office.

It is not that Xu Boyi does not want to bring more people with him. The problem is that even if he brought all the people from the third class and sixth branch, if a fight really broke out, they would just be sending themselves to their deaths. It is better to wear simple clothes and show off his boldness. Once the matter is settled, he will be able to spread the good reputation of 'going to the battle alone'.

Moreover, from his point of view, he is an official and he is going to mediate this matter. The people from the two villages will not harm him. After Xu Boyi left, Register Wang yawned and said lazily: "I am old and tired after such a short time. County Magistrate, I will take my leave now!"

Hua Qing Feng was unhappy that he had been rejected by him. He cupped his hands together and said, "Take care, I won't be sending you off!" That was his way of thanking him.

Seeing this, Ye Xiaotian also stood up and took his leave. He walked out of the living room and saw Su Xuntian waiting for him. Now that he is a guard officer, he naturally does not need to follow Xu Boyi into the mountains. When he saw Ye Xiaotian coming out, Su Xuntian immediately greeted him with a smile: "Should I call you Ai Dian Shi or Yeh Dianshi?"

Ye Xiaotian laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if my surname is Ye or Ai. I am me, you are you, and we are still us!"

Su Xuntian said cheerfully: "That's right! We are still us! "Both of them shook hands. Ye Xiaotian said:" It is not convenient to talk here. I will go back first. After two days, you can find your old brothers. I will treat you to a meal. "

Su Xuntian grinned and said, "Knowing that Your Excellency is coming back, all of us are very happy. We have long prepared to welcome Your Excellency, but we also know that with Your Excellency's current status, we don't know you, so it's not convenient to welcome Your Excellency immediately. So we had to postpone the banquet. How about three days later? At that time, we will hold a feast for you at the same place, 'Taibai Ju'! "

Ye Xiaotian smiled and nodded. He did not say anything more and walked out. After a while, Hua Qingfeng strolled out from the living room. When he saw Su Xuntian, he scolded: "Xuntian, must you speak to me in a strange way in front of all the officials? Are you trying to embarrass me?"

Su Xuntian rolled his eyes and said with a ruffian look: "Brother-in-law, am I not respectful enough to you? Then what do you want me to do? Make me like that Wang Xiao Er, kowtowing every time I see you? Will you be happy? "

Hua Qingfeng said angrily, "This is how you should be respectful? I'm your superior, your brother-in-law! "

Su Xuntian yawned lazily and said to Hua Qingfeng: "Yes! County magistrate, my most respected brother-in-law, this little brother-in-law is going to guard the city gate. If you have nothing else to say, let's go back! "Su Xuntian swaggered off. Hua Qingfeng was so angry that he could not do anything to him.

… …

When Ye Xiaotian returned to his residence, he pushed the courtyard door and it opened. It turned out that the door was left open for him. Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but smile.

He thought that Yaoyao was already asleep and did not want to wake her up. Thus, he lightened his footsteps. When he reached the main room, he saw light coming out from the crack of the door. Ye Xiaotian gently pushed the door and it opened. When Ye Xiaotian saw the situation in the room, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

There was a long table by the front wall with many jars and jars piled on it. At this moment, the long table was still the long table and the jars and jars were still there. However, there was an extra incense burner on the edge of the table. It was not the kind used to burn incense and worship Buddha. It was a golden incense burner with flower carvings. Smoke curled up and filled the room with fragrance.

In front of the long table, there was a beauty couch. Fuwa was lying on the side of the couch. Yaoyao was lying on the couch with Fuwa's head as a pillow. She was dozing off. There were eight painted screens on the left and right side, four of which were bamboo, orchid, plum and chrysanthemum, and four of which were four great beauties.

The stove on the right side of the door was still the stove. On the left side of the door, there was an antique shelf. There were many unopened boxes of all sizes on the shelf. Looking at them, they should be some utensils. There was a set of bead curtains hanging on the door of the two rooms. No one knew what kind of beads they were, but they were shining under the light.

Speaking of the light, the light came from two lamp trees. The two lamp trees had the same style. They were both three feet tall with bronze trunks. There were red peaches and green leaves on them. The center of the peach was where the lamp oil was poured and the wick was lit. When the fire was lit, the light red peach skin, which was polished until it was almost transparent, shone through, like ripe peaches under the sun.

There were a few red sandalwood chairs in the hall. In the middle was a small table decorated with green jade. Mao Wenzhi, Law Tycoon, and Winter were sitting on the chairs and chatting. There were a few porcelain fruit plates on the small table. The plates were filled with fresh and dried fruits.

A Big Man squatted pitifully at the side. It kept scratching its ears and cheeks, but it did not dare to move. If it moved its arms or legs, it would knock over something. As for the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, Ye Xiaotian did not notice them. He was stunned by the scene in the hall.

Was there a problem with these things? Of course not! If these things were placed in a tycoon's house or in Magistrate Hua's backyard, there would be no problem. But what was this place? It was the central room of a residential house. After entering the door, it was only five steps wide and eight steps long. There was only so much space in total.

There was a stove behind the door on the right and a water tank behind the door on the left. Now that so many things were squeezed in, how could they still walk in the room? If they went back to get some firewood to cook, the room would be filled with smoke and smoke …

Luo Daheng, Mao Wenzhi and Dong Tian were talking to each other when they saw the door open and Ye Xiaotian appear. The three of them immediately stood up and heard the sound of tables and chairs crashing into each other. Their knees knocked into the small table, causing the fruit platter to fall over. Their knees bent over and pushed the chair back, causing it to hit the couch.

Amidst the clanking sounds, Yaoyao rubbed her eyes and sat up. When she saw Ye Xiaotian, she shouted happily, "Brother Xiaotian!" She bent her leg and got down. Tycoon hurriedly called out, "Yaoyao, be careful."

"Ouch!" Yaoyao's calf touched the screen. She rubbed her knee and cried out in pain. Mao Wenzhi rushed over and quickly supported the screen that couldn't be fully extended due to the small space. Winter squinted his eyes and looked around. He really couldn't find a place to stand and had to give up on welcoming Xiao Tian.

Law Tycoon grinned and said, "Brother, you're back! Come in, come in. Ouch, be careful, don't trip. That's a vase for arranging flowers. "

Ye Xiaotian helplessly stopped and said, "Tycoon, you … why did you buy so many things?"

Tycoon rubbed his fat palms and said with a smile, "Aiya, I didn't spend much money. We're brothers. Why are you still treating me like an outsider? "

Ye Xiaotian held his forehead and said weakly, "I'm not saying you spent a lot of money. I mean … just buy a few pieces of furniture that can be used. You bought so many … We can't even fit them all."

Tycoon laughed and said, "Oh! You're talking about this? It's fine. I thought about it. If I just buy a few pieces, I'll have to change them later. Why don't we buy all of them at once? When we build a big house, we can just move in and use them. Haha, look at your brother's taste. These are all good things. "

Ye Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said, "Tycoon, I originally thought you were more reliable than Old Mao. Now that I look at it, you're still as unreliable as ever! Sigh! Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you. That's it. "

Ye Xiaotian stepped over the messy things and sat on the beauty couch that could only be placed in the central room. He didn't even have the courage to look around his bedroom.
