The chief secretary, who was pacing in the hall, sat down and felt unsteady, not just because of the current situation.
This is Dou County without Mrs. Wu.
Although the cushions on the chairs are still there, soft and thick, there is still tea on the table, which is fragrant and greasy, and the lilies of the valley are blooming in the hall, which is light and refreshing.
He looked outside and saw officials in the county government office walking around in a hurry and talking loudly. There were soldiers guarding the county government office.
"Sir, it's time to eat." A servant came in carrying a food box, "Today we have one meat and two vegetables."
The food box is opened, and the aroma is fragrant. The county government kitchen is still there, and food and drink are rationed and distributed like everyone else. However, even with the most common ingredients, Mrs. Wu¡¯s cook can make different delicacies.
Mrs. Wu¡¯s cook is still there.
"Master Registrar." There was a pretty voice and figure outside the hall.
The clerk called Miss Kumquat.
"Does the Registrar have any new documents today?" Jin Jue asked, "I want to read them to Madam."
The chief clerk pointed to some documents on the table and told the clerk: "Send them to Miss Jinju quickly."
The clerk responded happily and took the kumquat. He did not refuse the kumquat and left chatting with him.
Mrs. Wu¡¯s mother-in-law and girls are still there.
The chief clerk moved on his chair, trying to change his position to be more comfortable. Everything about Mrs. Wu was still there, everything was the same.
In fact, Mrs. Wu rarely appears in the county government office on a daily basis. Yuanji Jinjue will talk about it when something happens, unless they go to see her, she rarely comes out to see them.
It¡¯s justit¡¯s completely different. When the chief clerk stood up, there seemed to be nails growing on the ground, so he had to pace back and forth.
With the young lady who had no daily existence left, the county government office seemed to be empty, and the entire Dou County was also empty, although there were still soldiers and horses patrolling outside.
The chief clerk stopped and looked around the hall. What was it like in the past when there was no Madam Wu in Dou County? He suddenly couldn't remember.
"My lord, my lord."
Rapid footsteps came from outside, accompanied by the sound of weapons clashing. The collision made the chief secretary feel numb for a moment. He took a few steps back and fell on the chair. He raised his hand to interrupt the soldiers and generals who ran in.
These soldiers are the scouts in charge of sentinels. In the past few days, the chief secretary has been looking forward to them and fearing them. Without news, it is difficult day and night. With news
"Wait a minute." He took a few deep breaths, held the armrest tightly, and then looked up at these people.
The officials from the county government also poured in, staring at these generals eagerly.
The general could also understand everyone's mood. He took a deep breath and said in a soothing tone: "The traitors have fled, and the young lady has entered Guangzhou Mansion."
There were cheers in the hall, and cheers were heard outside the county government office. The cheers spread to the distance and would soon resound throughout the city.
The chief secretary sat softly on the chair, seemingly without any strength, and seemed relaxed and leisurely. He did not join in the cheers, but just smiled and twirled his beard: "It's expected, it's expected."
The junior official on the side smiled and complimented: "Master Chief, you have the style of Xie An."
Another clerk pushed the food box and said, "Master Xie, you can eat this time. I haven't touched the chopsticks for several days."
There was laughter in the hall.
The Lord Registrar did not scold this unruly little official. When everyone laughed out of the fear and depression of the past few days, he waved his hands and asked the soldiers for details.
"The details are still to come." said the soldier. "We saw the beacon smoke announcing victory and rushed back to report the news."
As the words fell, there was another noise outside, and a group of soldiers with dusty clothes and blood stains on their robes rushed in.
The chief clerk immediately recognized the acquaintance among them and shouted "Zhongwu", stood up and greeted him. At this time, he didn't care that he was an official. This "Zhongwu" was just a servant of Mrs. Wu.
Zhongwu stood up and saluted, Your Excellency, and told the siege process in a concise and concise manner amidst the expectations of the people in the hall: "Two thousand bandit soldiers were annihilated and 1,500 others were wiped out. The remaining ones were scattered and were chasing after them. The soldiers in the city suffered heavy casualties. But fortunately the city is safe and the people are safe. The magistrate and Zhu Tong personally welcome the young lady into the city."
He said it simply, and everyone was breathless. The fierceness and ferocity of the war were unimaginable.
"When will the young lady come back?" an official asked anxiously.
Zhongwu Road: "Guangzhou Prefecture suffered heavy casualties. The prefect asked the young lady to appease the people and discuss the aftermath together."
The officials were immediately anxious.
"Young lady has worked so hard! Why bother her!"
"The government is too greedy. It's not enough to beat away the traitors, but they also have to help."bsp; "Young madam, that's great. These are the reinforcements." The magistrate walked into the hall and said with a happy face. He couldn't help but tell the two officials, and by the way, Zhang Xiaoqian and the general. He thanked me casually, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
Before official Zhang Xiaoqian could react, Li Minglou smiled and said, "They came here to have a look, but they still have to go back."
The two officials reacted and were furious. The magistrate was too greedy. He wanted to keep all the soldiers and horses in Dou County!
"We in Dou County can't live without people."
"It's closer to Xuanwu Dao and more dangerous."
"We should guard the borders for the state capital."
The two politely declined.
The magistrate did not share their common knowledge, and even a fool knew who had the final say on the soldiers and horses in Dou County. He only said: "Yes, yes, stability is so important. The city will survive the disaster. Young Madam, you have to stabilize the people here."
Li Minglou nodded and said, "Dou County does need stability and has a large population."
"Move them all over here." The magistrate said immediately, sighing, "The towns near the prefecture have been emptied due to the brutal attacks by the bandits."
There is plenty of space, the population of Dou County can be accommodated, and the soldiers and horses of Dou County have also come over, so that everyone can be safe in guarding the city.
Li Minglou said: "There is not only one Dou County in the prefecture, sir, the prefectural city cannot protect all the cities, and the real protection is to make them all become like Dou County, a place that can be defended, so that our prefecture is connected. Protecting and helping each other can become an inviolable force."
All the cities surrounding are like Douxian, and there are Douxian -like soldiers. Imagine the scene Zhifu's yearning also: "What should I do? How can there be so many soldiers and horses."
"There will be soldiers and horses." Li Minglou said, "Dou County has not had a county magistrate for a long time. Please promote the chief secretary to the county magistrate so that the officials and the people can have a backbone."
The prefect¡¯s expression became even more sad.
Although the county magistrate is a junior official, he is also from the imperial examination. He is appointed by the imperial court. After the Jiedushi Observer is appointed, some powerful Jiedushi Observer can also be appointed.
But now there are no observers in Huainan Road.
"The observation envoy of Huainan Road betrayed and surrendered to the enemy. He was no longer an official, but a thief." Li Minglou said, "Without him, the sky in Huainan Road has not fallen. There is also you, my lord, you are guarding one side on behalf of the emperor, and you are Guangzhou." It¡¯s up to the people of the government, you have the final say on this side.¡±
The magistrate straightened his back, held his sleeves and said to the chief official: "Get the great seal of my government."
