Chapter 106: Making the Country Wealthy

Qi Shaokang felt inexplicably frightened. Seeing that his momentum was declining, Qin Guangqi hurriedly tugged at her sleeves and whispered: "Sir, we didn't do anything. The kicking and beating of Li Yanting were all done by these unscrupulous people. Don't be afraid.

she!"

Qi Shaokang listened and thought that this was also the case. He clenched his fists to give himself some courage and said, "How dare you! Can you also call me the county magistrate by his name?"

"County magistrate? Ha!" Lin Xing sneered, "If you really think of yourself as the county magistrate, why didn't you stop them from beating the imperial officials? Do you know that once you are convicted of this crime, the Holy One will be the first to punish you for lax supervision?

Take your life!"

Qi Shaokang's face turned pale and he subconsciously looked at Qin Guangqi. Why didn't he know that such a thing would happen?

Lin Xing's words reminded Qi Shaokang. Qi Shaokang wiped away cold sweat and finally had the ability to think. He shoved Qin Guangqi and cursed angrily: "What are you still doing? Why don't you quickly find a doctor for Mr. Li?

"

"I'm right here, why are I looking for a doctor?" Lin Xing looked at the guilty looks on the two of them and knew that they were not innocent in this incident. Blood kept pouring out of Li Yanting's mouth, and his face was blue and purple.

Painful twist.

Lin Xing frowned, seeing that Qin Guangqi and others were planning to move Li Yanting's body up, and kicked Qin Guangqi on the waist: "He has four broken ribs, are you trying to kill him? You should just plead guilty and get it over with!"

Qin Guangqi staggered and collapsed on the ground. He was just about to get up and look for Lin Xing, but he was very scared when he thought about what would happen to Li Yanting after his death. He could only hold back his temper and asked: "Then what do you think we should do?"

Lin Xing ordered three people to stand in front of Li Yanting's head, and two others behind Li Yanting's feet.

Several people lifted Li Yanting up and controlled the angle at which his body lay flat as gently as possible.

They placed Li Yanting in a wing of the magistrate's office, but Lin Xing was blocked.

A bold person may be afraid of being punished. Although their lives have not improved during the years under Qi Shaokang's supervision, who can understand the temper of Xinzhi County?

Once the name of unruly people is carried over their heads, they will definitely not have an easy time in the future.

Lin Xing looked over impatiently: "What else can you do?"

"Lin Bodhisattva, you are a kind-hearted person. You know how serious the flood is this time. We ordinary people have been weakened by the flood and do not dare to cause any more big waves. If you are not intolerable, how can you do such a rebellious thing?

?" The man's face was sunburned, black and red, and dry skin broke out in some places.

His lips were chapped and he said: "Master Li, he took the one hundred taels of silver given by Qizhi County and went out for a day, but he didn't even make a sound to let the people listen."

As he said that, he pointed back to those people who were exposed to the sun and were red and sore all over: "If Qizhi County hadn't promised us early that Mr. Li was buying supplies, could we have waited here for so long?

There is a lot of work at home, and the sun outside is so poisonous!"

Before he finished speaking, someone suddenly fell to the ground.

The head collided with the stone slab, making a loud noise, and blood overflowed. The man seemed to be aware of the pain and moved his fingers slightly.

The people around him tried to help him, but they all felt dizzy and fell to the ground.

Oops, it’s heat stroke!

Lin Xing looked at the soldiers and said, "These people are suffering from heatstroke. Please move them to a cool place."

This place is two or three kilometers away from the refugee camp, so the soldiers are naturally unwilling to give themselves such a heavy workload.

They lifted the hands and feet of these people and looked at Lin Xing with hesitant expressions on their faces.

Lin Xing saw their intention and caught a glimpse of Qi Shaokang standing beside her out of the corner of her eye. An idea suddenly came to her mind. She raised her chin towards the magistrate: "Let's carry it into the magistrate's office first."

Qi Shaokang was clearly in a panic. He ran in front of these government soldiers and waved his hands: "Why are you being carried into my prefecture? Isn't there a refugee camp?"

Lin Xing raised her lips: "The refugee camp is two or three miles away from here. They cannot get treatment. Their lives are in danger at any time along the way. As the magistrate and as a parent official, do you have to watch like this?"

Naturally, Qi Shaokang could not admit this. He had just established an image of a good official in the eyes of the people, and coupled with the praise that Lin Xing gave him by giving porridge in front of the prefecture, if he organized the people to carry the people in, he would probably

Suffered backlash.

How did these people treat Li Yanting?

He keeps it all in mind!

But Qi Shaokang looked at the dirt on the people's bodies and the smell of sweat that could be smelled without getting close. He was afraid that this smell would get into his magistrate's county.

He didn't speak, so Lin Xing took it as acquiescence. She clapped her hands and said, "Human lives matter, move them in quickly!"

Anyone with a discerning eye can see Qi Shaokang's attitude. Lin Xing is so persistent that these people can't help but sigh: "Mrs. Lin is really the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva!"

These people had beaten Li Yanting just now, and Lin Xing didn't have much favorable impressions of them. Now she just nodded slightly, turned her gaze to Qi Shaokang and said, "Master Qi, why didn't you say anything about the one hundred taels of silver yesterday?

Understood, do you want Mr. Li to finish purchasing the supplies today?"

"Didn't you say that these one hundred taels are at Master Li's disposal?"

"If you were distressed at the beginning, Mr. Qi wouldn't have to take out the one hundred taels of silver. What's the point of rushing the duck to the shelves now?"

This series of questions stopped Qi Shaokang, and he poked Qin Guangqi.

Qin Guangqi's eyes widened and he said: "The fact that our Qi County magistrate took out these one hundred taels shows that our magistrate county is not short of this money. In our eyes, Mr. Li is a good official who serves the country and the people. How do we know that he can buy supplies?"

Will it take so long?”

Qin Guangqi was worthy of being Qi Shaokang's military advisor, and a few words instantly turned the situation around.

But he didn't want to think about Lin Xing, such an eloquent master. The two of them put their hands on their hips and listened to Lin Xing say: "I have only been the magistrate of Qi County for a few years. How much is the salary of a magistrate for a year? How much does it cost to be a magistrate for a year? Why?

Can you just take out a hundred taels casually?"

"You, you don't have to worry about this! We, the county magistrate, care about the people and have handed over all our life savings, but we didn't expect Master Li to let down our Lord's kindness like this. Didn't this move chill our Lord's heart?" Qin Guangqiyue

The round stool becomes more confident, and the chin is slightly raised.

Now everyone felt more and more that Qi Shaokang was a good official. Li Yanting took advantage of the Cangzhou flood to get kickbacks. They didn't know why Lin Xing started to protect him.

"Lin Bodhisattva, I finally understand. This Li Yanting is just trying to make money for the country. You must not be deceived!"
