County Magistrate Wei casually picked up the booklet, flipped it a few times, and actually nodded in agreement.
He looked at the two and said, "It's beyond my expectation that you could do this. I really underestimated you."
He never thought that the two men, who had been in the position of county magistrate and secretary for so many years, were idiots, but he didn't guard against them.
Because County Magistrate Wei knew that most of what he did was not for himself. Even if he had some selfish motives, it was harmless. Even if these things were really put on the table, he wouldn't be afraid.
However, he was a little curious about what the two men were thinking. Was this what County Magistrate Wang and Secretary Zheng relied on? Did they really want to turn the tables with these things?
County Magistrate Wei threw the booklet on the ground and said, "If this is all, I'm afraid I'll let you down."
When County Magistrate Wei said these words, his tone was a little cold.
County Magistrate Wang and Secretary Zheng chose the most inappropriate time and the most inappropriate place to offend him. Although it made him a little unhappy, he didn't have to worry about what he was going to do next.
"We are colleagues. Why do you have to force us?" County Magistrate Wang sighed and bent down to pick up the booklet on the ground.
County Magistrate Wei said lightly, "Things in officialdom are always involuntary. You have been an official for so many years. Don't you know this truth?"
Clap!
A crisp sound suddenly sounded in the room, like the sound of a piece of wood falling to the ground. County Magistrate Wang picked up a small wooden plate that fell out of his arms and said, "As a county magistrate, County Magistrate Wei should set an example. It's wrong to throw things at random. Even if it can't hit people, it's not good to hit flowers and plants. If it's seen by outsiders, it will damage your reputation."
County Magistrate Wang didn't put the wooden plate back into his arms again. He deliberately waved it in front of County Magistrate Wei and said, "Is what I said right or not? What do you think?"
County Magistrate Wang's words were not timely. If there was no wooden plate, County Magistrate Wei would definitely think that there was something wrong with his brain and that he was talking nonsense.
But he saw it after all, and he saw it very clearly.
When he saw that extremely ordinary wooden plate, County Magistrate Wei's indifferent face disappeared, and his pupils suddenly shrank!

"Sir, the dishes in the kitchen are not for sale. If you want to eat something, just tell us, and we will immediately prepare and send it to you. This won't do …" The cook of Fragrant House looked helpless. The young man in front of him was simply the weirdest guest he had ever met.
If he wanted to eat something, he could tell the waiter and they would naturally prepare and send it to him as soon as possible. But he didn't order any dishes. Instead, he insisted to buy some fish and prawns and Kunlun purple melons. Didn up.
The waiter behind the young man winked at the cook and said, "What are you talking about? This guest is a distinguished guest. Isn't it just a few dishes? Hurry up and prepare!"
If other guests had made such a request, they would have chased them out as troublemakers. However, the guests in the Heavenly Room were not ordinary. It was not worthwhile to offend them for such a small matter.
The fish must be fresh, the prawns must be no less than one inch, and the Kunlun purple melons were the first batch of this year. It was not worthwhile to offend them for such a small matter.
The fish had to be fresh, and the shrimp couldn't be smaller than one inch. As for the Kunlun Purple Melon — that was the first crop of the year. Even the restaurant couldn't meet the demand. This young master really knew how to pick!
The fish must be fresh, the prawns must not be less than one inch, and the Kunlun purple melons — that was actually the first batch of this year. The supply could not meet the demand. This young man really knew how to choose!
County Magistrate Wei came from the capital, so he shouldn't be as ignorant as those two. The Secret Intelligence Department was actually a sharp blade hanging over the heads of all the officials, from the seventh-rank county magistrate to the first-rank officials. No one was not afraid of these people who dissociated from the law and represented the will of the emperor.
On the way from the capital to Qing 'an Prefecture, he had used this wooden plate several times and made some additional discoveries.
Apart from the capital, the power of the Secret Intelligence Division was everywhere. The officials never knew their counselors, housekeepers, or even coachmen at home. Besides being counselors, housekeepers, and coachmen, they didn't know what other identities they had. A wooden plate inadvertently revealed could change the position of the master and servant instantly.
The emperor couldn't be a harmless uncle next door. Li Yi even suspected that there was someone who meticulously recorded how many times the officials had sex with their wives at night. Whether there was such a person in the Viscount's Mansion, Li Yi didn't know, but it wouldn't affect him much. The maids who could enter the Inner Courtyard all grew up in the Li Mansion. When he was sunbathing in the yard, no one could hear him except the wind.
When he was about to go upstairs, a few figures came down from upstairs. The young man in the lead had a young woman in his arms. Surrounded by several people, they took up most of the space on the stairs. When Li Yi walked up sideways, he suddenly saw the woman turn her head and ask in surprise, "Are you Li Yi, Li?"
Li Yi turned his head and saw the surprised expression on the woman's face. He looked at her carefully and realized that he didn't know her.
The young man with the woman in his arms was stunned for a moment. He looked at Li Yi and said with a slightly angry expression, "You are Li Yi? What a big show. You made me wait for so long! "
The young man behind the young man was stunned. It seemed that he hadn't had time to say this today before he was beaten out. But why was Li Yi here?
Had he already said it, but he was beaten so badly by the woman that he forgot?
Li Yi glanced at the young man's face. He still didn't know this man. What did he mean just now?
"Let me tell you, Goddess Luo Shui is mine. You'd better stay away from Lady Zui Mo in the future, otherwise …" The young man let go of the woman, looked at Li Yi, and threatened.
"Psycho."
Li Yi turned his head and left. He had seen too many people like this in the past few days.
Before the young man finished his words, he had to stop. A trace of anger appeared on his face. He strode upstairs and reached out to grab Li Yi's collar.

In the innermost part of the second floor, outside the Tianzi Room No. 1, many people were waiting anxiously, but there was no sound from the room.
County Magistrate Wei and County Magistrate Wang, Secretary Zheng, had already fallen out. What else could be discussed for so long?
Of course, no one knew that in the room, a layer of sweat had appeared on County Magistrate Wei's forehead.
The Secret Intelligence Office, it was actually the Secret Intelligence Office!
How could County Magistrate Wang be His Majesty's man!
County Magistrate Wei used to be an official in the capital, so he was naturally knowledgeable. How could he not know the department that made countless officials tremble just by hearing its name?
If the censors were hawks that supervised the officials in the open, then the Secret Intelligence Office was a poisonous snake hiding in the dark. No one knew when they would jump out and bite people. But there was no doubt that the officials who were lucky enough to see the people of the Secret Intelligence Office would never see anything else.
The moment he saw the plate, County Magistrate Wei finally realized that he was not dealing with County Magistrate Wang, nor the Secret Intelligence Office, but —
It was the existence that made him break out in a cold sweat at the thought of it.
It was an existence that no matter who was behind him or what background he had, he could not disobey.
At this time, it was no longer important whether he had done anything or not. Had those people ever cared about those things?
Even if the Anxi County Magistrate hung himself on the beam of his house tomorrow morning, he would not be able to cause much trouble.
"Yes, yes, Lord Wang, Lord Wang is right …" County Magistrate Wei forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, stood up from his seat, and bowed, saying, "Lords, please sit down …"
…
…
The people outside the door had been waiting for a long time, and finally heard a sound coming from behind them.
The door was opened from the inside, and then everyone saw a scene that made them extremely shocked and confused.
"Thank you, Lord Wei." County Magistrate Wang and Registrar Zheng walked out with smiles on their faces. The one who spoke was County Magistrate Wang.
"Haha, you're too polite. As the Anxi County Magistrate, this is my duty." County Magistrate Wei walked side by side with them. His face was ruddy, and he also had a bright smile on his face.
The scene of everyone being good to each other, and the world being peaceful and stable immediately made everyone's eyes pop out.
When County Magistrate Wang and Registrar Zheng entered just now, weren't there still sparks flying in all directions?
Why were they suddenly beaming with joy and loving?
What did the three of them do in such a short period of time? How could there be such a huge change!
