"Uncle, Master asked me to tell you that you don't have to wait for her for dinner. Just leave some food for her." When Li Yi was copying Journey to the West and The Legend of the Condor Heroes in his room, Yangliuqing walked in and said.
Miss.Liu finally found a new toy not long ago. The Wulin Hero List was stirred up by her. It was said that the master who ranked sixth on the Heaven List came all the way from Qingzhou to Qingan Prefecture to challenge her. He seemed to think that women were easier to bully. It was very likely that he could defeat her and refresh his ranking.
The top five on the Heaven List. Just thinking about it made him a little excited. If he worked harder, he could defeat the fourth, third, second, and first and jump to the top of the list. Wouldn't that mean that he would be the number one master below the master level?
There were many people with this idea. In just a few days, Miss.Liu had received many letters of challenge.
Miss.Liu wanted to see the world in chaos. She was worried about not being able to find a real master to spar with. Of course, she accepted all the letters of challenge.
Two days later, under everyone's endless anticipation, the fifth and sixth ranked experts on the Heavenly List finally had an unparalleled battle — the result was that after a hundred moves, the expert spat out two ounces of blood and the battle ended. It was said that on that day, Second Young Lady Liu wielded her sword, her white clothes fluttering in the wind, and her sharp sword light blinded countless people's eyes …
After that, the people who had challenged her never showed their faces again.
According to Old Sun, the performance of the theater that day was more than ten times that of the past.
These days, Miss.Liu was very busy. She usually didn't eat at home on time. Li Yi was already used to it.
"Got it. What else did she say?" Li Yi continued to work and asked without raising his head.
"Master also said that she wanted to eat braised prawns and braised purple melon for dinner … Not too sour sweet and sour fish. Steamed rice should be neither too soft nor too hard …"
"Anything else?" Li Yi raised his head and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth.
"Nothing else." Yangliuqing hurriedly ran out. His voice came from outside the door. "I'm going out of the city to look for Master. I can't help Martial Uncle during dinner …"
Watching Yangliuqing quickly disappear from his sight, Li Yi sighed. She used to be such a hardworking little girl. Look at how she has been taught by Miss.Liu …
As for Miss.Liu herself, she didn't stay at home all day. She still wanted to eat braised prawns, braised eggplant, and sweet and sour fish. If she came home late, she would eat leftovers.

…
The Drunken Fragrance Tower was the most famous restaurant in Qing 'an Prefecture. It was a high class restaurant with exquisite dishes and attentive service. It was the first choice for high officials and nobles to treat their guests.
"Lord Li, it's been a long time. I've missed you!" In a Heaven-class room somewhere, Magistrate Wang looked enthusiastic. His attitude was even more enthusiastic than when Li Yi was the county lieutenant.
"Lord Li, please take a seat." Registrar Zheng was even more enthusiastic. He personally walked over and pulled out a chair for Li Yi.
"We are colleagues. You don't have to be so polite." Li Yi said with a smile.
When he was the county lieutenant, he basically fished for one day and dried for ten days. He didn't have much friendship with Magistrate Wang and Registrar Zheng. But after a few months, when he saw them again after the trip to the capital, he felt inexplicably closer.
Magistrate Wang cupped his hands and said with a face full of smiles, "First of all, I have to congratulate Lord Li on being conferred a noble title. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, it has been extremely rare to be conferred a noble title. Lord Li's strong royal favor really makes me envious."
Registrar Zheng also showed envy on his face. Why did they become officials? It was to bring honor to their ancestors and fight for a good inheritance for their descendants. Being promoted to a noble title was what they had been pursuing all their lives. They worked hard for half of their lives, but their lives became more and more miserable. Looking at Lord Li, he was so young. Alas … The more they thought about it, the more they felt that they were complete failures.
Li Yi smiled and said, "What's there to be envious about, Lord Wang? Even His Majesty has praised Anxi County many times. Now that County Magistrate Liu has become the Magistrate of the capital, the two of you will naturally have bright futures ahead of you."
"Alas, Lord Li doesn't know." Magistrate Wang sighed and said with great sorrow, "I really miss the days when Lord Liu was still around …"
Standing behind Magistrate Wang, Da Niu and another constable glanced at each other, and they both saw the fear in each other's eyes. Then, they quietly took two steps back.
In their minds, they had already made up a lot of 18 forbidden stories about Magistrate Wang and County Magistrate Liu that had to be told.
After listening to Magistrate Wang and Registrar Zheng talk about County Magistrate Wei's behavior after being transferred to Anxi County, Li Yi pretended to be surprised and asked, "Lord Li, your situation has already deteriorated to such a state, but County Magistrate Wei is still so overbearing?"
Magistrate Wang sighed and pointed to the top of his head, saying, "County Magistrate Wei was transferred from the capital. He already has a foundation and has the support of the magistrate's government, so he acts unscrupulously. The two of us have been working in Anxi County for many years, but we can't even compare to him for two months. Now, even the gentry and gentry who originally supported us are about to fall to his side."
Li Yi was very clear about this. Although the county magistrate was the head of a county, his achievements still depended on the support of the people below him. The gentry and gentry of every place were equivalent to the local bullies. Without their cooperation, even the county magistrate would not be able to achieve anything.
Most of the county magistrates appointed by the imperial court came from other places. It would take a long time to rope in these people. Similarly, Magistrate Wang and Registrar Zheng also had their own subordinates. The several parties restricted each other and cooperated with each other. This was the normal state of a county's leadership.
Based on the current situation, the balance in Anxi County was obviously going to be broken by County Magistrate Wei. Once he established his dominance and authority, County Magistrate Wang and Registrar Zheng would become empty shells. In the future, not to mention their future, they would definitely have to retire in advance and live a leisurely life.
Magistrate Wang suddenly stood up and bowed to Li Yi respectfully together with Registrar Zheng. He said solemnly, "We know that Lord Li must have a way. As colleagues, please help us, Lord Li."
As the second-in-command and third-in-command of a county, they usually had to be bowed to by others. However, at this moment, they didn't care about it at all. Compared to their official career, these superficial things were not important at all.
If Li Yi didn't want to help them, he should be cooking Braised Prawns for Miss.Liu in the kitchen at home, instead of talking nonsense with them here.
It didn't matter who became the county magistrate of Anxi County, but it was a little too much for County Magistrate Wei to target the theater. If he really interfered with the theater, how could he carry out his work in the future? It would be too inconvenient to guide and guide public opinion and create a rebellion.
Regarding this matter, no matter what, he had no reason to sit back and do nothing.
