Chapter 530

Early in the morning, the scribe in charge of the Warden's office, Dian Ci, had been putting on an act of gesticulating with a pile of books, but he couldn't keep up the act all day. He had just relaxed, when he suddenly noticed Warden Ye's eyes on him. He couldn't help feeling nervous, and hurriedly opened the books that he had just closed and pretended to be concentrating.

Ye Xiaotian gazed at him and suddenly smiled: "Scribe."

Dian Ci quickly raised his head and said in a fluster: "This lowly official is here!"

Ye Xiaotian nonchalantly said: "This official is in charge of arresting people and prisons other than the administrative cashier. It has been almost an entire morning and there has not been a single arrest or prison matter. Could it be that this county's law and order has reached the stage where no one picks up anything on the road? "

Dian Ci embarrassedly said: "Oh! This … no … cough! It's like this, Sir, before you took office, the district magistrate had issued a handwritten order that all matters related to arresting people, prisons and other judicial matters must be reported to him. Without the district magistrate's signed order, no one is allowed to act on their own and violators will be severely punished. "

Ye Xiaotian was still nonchalant, as if he was not slapped in the face. He only lightly replied with an 'oh'. His attitude instead caused Dian Ci to be at a loss and hurriedly explained: "It is probably because Sir had not taken office at that time that the district magistrate issued such an order. But the district magistrate has not revoked the order, this lowly official … "

Ye Xiaotian nodded with a smile and said, "I understand, I understand! This order from the district magistrate is a handwritten order? "

Dian Ci replied: "Yes!"

Ye Xiaotian said: "Show me the handwritten order!"

Dian Ci hurriedly opened a book and flipped through a few pages. He took out an official letter stamped with a bright red seal and tiptoed over, presenting it to Ye Xiaotian with both hands.

Ye Xiaotian took the official letter with the county magistrate's official seal, casually skimmed through it, folded it lightly, and tucked it into his sleeve. Dian Ci uneasily said: "Sir, this … this official letter should be filed … filed …"

Ye Xiaotian smiled faintly and said, "Of course I understand. Don't worry, it will not be lost. I will return it in two days. "

Dian Ci did not dare to say anything else and could only comply and withdraw. Ye Xiaotian stood up and walked out of the room. At the door were two yamen runners who came in together. Upon seeing Ye Xiaotian, they immediately bowed and said: "Warden Daren, this lowly one is Liu Chengrui from the engineering course …"

The other said: "Warden Daren, this lowly one is Meng Haolong from the etiquette course …"

Ye Xiaotian casually waved his sleeves and walked past them. "I don't care if you're an engineering major or an etiquette major. If you have anything to say, wait until I return …"

Ye Xiaotian understood that Xu Boyi must have had an idea long ago. He wanted to use his direct authority over the judiciary to forcefully deprive him of his most important duty. If he were to make things difficult for these lowly officials, he would only be asking for humiliation and losing his demeanor.

Under normal circumstances, it was normal for them to take orders from someone with a higher position. He could not expect everyone to be like Su Xuntian, Li Yuncong, and class leader Zhou. These people had fought side by side with him. Now, the people assigned to him were all petty officials in their early fifties who were about to return home to retire. It would be difficult for them to throw away their future and follow him to oppose their superiors.

Old Lu was sweeping the courtyard. When he saw Ye Xiaotian, he immediately stopped and respectfully said: "Sir!"

Ye Xiaotian nodded and was about to walk past him when Old Lu suddenly whispered: "Sir, this lowly old man knows who you are!"

Ye Xiaotian immediately stopped and turned to look at him. Old Lu was all smiles with a childlike pride on his face. He said to Ye Xiaotian: "This lowly old man is very happy that Sir has returned. This lowly old man can see that the County Magistrate and County Magistrate are making things difficult for Sir. Can they be more difficult to deal with than County Magistrate Meng and Qi Mu? Sir, you will defeat them sooner or later. "

Ye Xiaotian gazed at him, smiled and patted his shoulder, then walked out. Old Lu looked at Ye Xiaotian's back with a smile. He raised his broom and gently waved it, sweeping away the footprints left by Ye Xiaotian …

…

Ye Xiaotian left the yamen and went home to call Mao Wenzhi and Yaoyao. Fuwa and A Big Man, who were idling at home, were overjoyed and immediately followed him out. The super otaku, Mr. Winter, was in the central room, excitedly fiddling with his jars and jars. Ye Xiaotian did not call him.

Tycoon had a lot of things to do, especially with Li Bohao and Gao Ya's return to the mountains. Not long after, they also called back the porters and porters from the two tribes, so they were a little short of manpower. At the same time, two other carriage companies opened up, especially the Xie's Carriage Company, opened by a man named Xie Chuanfeng. As soon as it opened, it expanded without restraint. It also spent a lot of money to poach a few of the best carriage drivers from "Luo Li Gao Chariot". Tycoon had to personally oversee the carriage company, so he did not come.

Ye Xiaotian led Yaoyao and Mao Wenzhi, A Big Man and Fuwa around the small town for a while. When he looked up, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he led them up the mountain.

Gourd County was half mountain and half valley. The city was in the middle of the mountain, and there were mountains in the city. The terrain was different from most of the cities in the Central Plains. The hill was not very tall, but it was the only tall mountain in the county. There was an Earth Temple halfway up the hill. It was the place where Ye Xiaotian stayed when he first arrived in Gourd County and was chased out by the county government after all his money was confiscated.

Ye Xiaotian walked up the mountain and found that although there was little rain recently, the stream on the mountain was still flowing. Ye Xiaotian walked to the ruined local god temple halfway up the mountain and looked down the mountain. Most of Gourd County came into view.

The yamen was at the foot of the mountain. From here, the layout of the three courtyards of the yamen was clear. This place was on the right side of the yamen. Ye Xiaotian smiled and said to Yaoyao, "How about we build the house here?"

Yaoyao said happily, "Okay, I used to live here."

Ye Xiaotian pointed and said, "Build a wall from there to here. Enclose that rock, that bamboo forest, and the local god temple here. Enclose that small river in front of the courtyard, and let the running water flow through the courtyard. This local god temple is in the most central position. Tear it down, and the house will be centered around this place … "

Mao Wenzhi was speechless when he heard this and said, "Big Brother, you … you've encircled most of the mountain."

Ye Xiaotian said, "Otherwise, Fuwa and A Big Man would not be so happy. Well, it doesn't matter how big the house is, as long as the building is not over the limit. "

Mao Wenzhi scratched his head and said, "Okay, you're rich anyway. I don't mind if you want to turn the whole mountain into your vegetable garden. It's just that … it's such a big house. I'm afraid it'll take two or three years to build. "

Ye Xiaotian smiled, "How can it take that long? If you want to be fast, there's a way!"

As Ye Xiaotian said this, his eyes were already staring at the stream flowing down from the mountain. A youngster wearing a bamboo hat and carrying a hunting bow was currently walking down the stream with his trousers in his hands. In his hand was a long and narrow saber that was as long as a willow leaf. As he walked, the saber would occasionally flash and a fat fish would break out of the water. With a wave of his saber, the fish would fall into the basket on his back — Yunfei had arrived.

"Big Brother, let's go back and have a taste!"

Hua Yunfei walked to Ye Xiaotian's side and lowered his right shoulder. The heavy basket of fish slid down to Ye Xiaotian's feet. Only then did he raise his head, revealing his smiling face under the bamboo hat.

Yaoyao happily called out, "Brother Yunfei!"

Mao Wenzhi was pleasantly surprised, "Oh my, it's you! I was still wondering where you were hiding. "

Ye Xiaotian said, "You've come at the right time. You're the most suitable person to handle this matter."

Ye Xiaotian told Hua Yunfei about the matter of building a house and said, "Dong Tian is old and his eyesight isn't good. There's no one more suitable than you. You should go to the forbidden area of the Reborn Miao. Tell them that I want to build a house here and ask them to send people over! Send more people, I need to build it as soon as possible! "

In the deep mountains and ancient forests, there really was no one more suitable than Hua Yunfei. As long as he went to a place once, he would definitely be able to find it again. After hearing Ye Xiaotian's words, Hua Yunfei happily agreed, "Alright! I'll go right now! "

Hua Yunfei was very straightforward and immediately set off without another word. As long as he had a bow and a sword in his hand, he was not afraid of not having food in the forest. Naturally, he did not need to bring anything else.

Mao Wenzhi happily said to Ye Xiaotian, "How could I forget that there are so many people in the forbidden area of the Reborn Miao? Just call a few people over and the house will be built very quickly!"

Ye Xiaotian smiled without saying a word.

The forbidden area of the Reborn Miao was actually not far away. It was located between the mountains and Tongren County. But because the road to the mountains was difficult to travel and the Reborn Miao was not used to contact the outside world, outsiders did not dare to enter the mountains easily.

It only took Hua Yunfei two and a half days to reach the forbidden area of the Reborn Miao in the mountains. He rushed to the Gu God Sect's headquarters and told Gachailao and the other elders about Ye Xiaotian's orders. The elders were overjoyed when they heard it. They had been wondering if they should send more people to follow the Venerable to travel around the world, but they were also worried that if they restricted his freedom too much, it would anger the unruly Venerable. Now that they heard that the Venerable was going to build a house in such a close place, it seemed that he would not go far. Wasn't this great news?

At that moment, the elders issued an order to the Nine Caves and Eighty-One Stockades, informing them that the Venerable was going to build a house. They asked each of the caves and stockades to contribute manpower and effort to build a house for the Venerable.

When the stockades heard that they were going to build a house for the Venerable, they felt that it was an honor and a great merit to build a house for the honorable Lord God's Servant to live in! Immediately, the Nine Caves and Eighty-One Stockades responded. In just one day, the number of young men and young women who came from the nearby stockades reached more than ten thousand. On the second day, the number increased by three times.

Hua Yunfei turned pale with fright. Bringing so many people out of the mountains, was it appropriate? Were they going to build a house or rebel? Hua Yunfei refused again and again. The elders also felt that tens of thousands of men and horses were too many. After all, it was not a super palace like the Temple of Gu.

But when they wanted them to go back, none of the Reborn Miao were willing to leave. In the end, the elders kept mediating to ensure that each stockade had people participating and that both men and women were represented. They also urgently ordered the stockades to stop sending labor. After repeated cuts, the number of people was finally reduced to eight thousand.

Under the leadership of Hua Yunfei and Sister Sun, eight thousand Reborn Miao left the mountains in a mighty manner!
