Turning his body to the side, Liu Zhimo dodged Magistrate Ma's actions. Liu Zhimo raised his hand, telling Magistrate Ma to stand still, no need to be agitated.
It's not like he's his wife. Why the heck are you doing this?
"What's wrong? "A case?"
"No, it's … "It's the brother I mentioned yesterday. He came to see you." He had waited here for nearly two hours.
Liu Zhimo acknowledged his presence and walked in with large strides. Once he entered, he saw a tall and st.u.r.dy man sitting upright on a chair.
"Brother Wei, County Magistrate is here." Magistrate Ma shouted.
When Wei Guo stood up and turned his head towards Liu Zhimo, Liu Zhimo realized that there was a scar on his face, from the end of his eyes to the corner of his mouth.
"This commoner greets County Magistrate." Wei Guo cupped his fists towards Liu Zhimo.
Liu Zhimo replied gently, "I came late for something in the morning and made you wait." He was ashamed to say that he had woken up late from his hangover.
He did not expect that the new County Magistrate's att.i.tude would be so good, which surprised him a little.
"It's because this commoner came early."
Liu Zhimo made a gesture of invitation for Wei Guo to sit down. He sat opposite Wei Guo and asked about the situation of Wei Guo with a calm voice.
The State of Wei did not hide anything and told Liu Zhimo everything.
Once he finished speaking, he looked at Liu Zhimo with some apprehension. He wondered if Liu Zhimo would accept him as a yamen runner?
Liu Zhimo immediately nodded his head and accepted him as a bailiff.
In an instant, Wei Guo was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
It had been a long time since he had been so excited when he went home to farm instead of darting.
Last night, when Magistrate Ma came to find him and asked him if he was willing to come to the yamen to serve, he thought he had heard wrongly.
After all, he had such a hideous scar on his face. Every time he was seen by someone, he would frighten them.
Thus, he had reached the age of 25 years old and was still unable to find a wife.
The moment the girl saw him, she trembled in fear. Who would dare to marry him?
If Magistrate Ma had not emphasized it several times, the County Magistrate would not place importance on appearances and let him give it a try.
It was only after a night of mental struggle that he decided to try it.
He never thought that the County Magistrate would accept him as a yamen runner so easily.
"Big... Lord, you … "Are you not going to think about it?"
"What are you thinking about? "You don't have the confidence to do a good job as a yamen runner?"
Hearing this, Wei Guo nodded with all his might, he was confident.
He knew kung fu. Although he wasn't very strong, he could protect himself. He had the confidence to be a good yamen runner.
Go find Magistrate Ma and have him give you two sets of clothes that can fit your size. "" Alright then.
Wei Guo stood up and cupped his fists towards Liu Zhimo again as he said loudly, "Thank you, Master."
Liu Zhimo stood up, and laughed while saying that he was rude.
Wei Guo excitedly went to look for Magistrate Ma. Magistrate Ma strongly patted his shoulder and said, "Good guy, congratulations."
"Brother Ma, you're the most important. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the chance to be a yamen runner." Wei Guo looked at Magistrate Ma gratefully. "I'll treat Brother Ma to a drink another day. Thank you for your support."
Magistrate Ma did not decline, and smiled in agreement, and asked him what size it was? He went to find a robe for him.
Wei Guanguan recited the size before following Magistrate Ma to the back of the house to get his clothes.
"Brother Ma, the new County Magistrate is different from the old county magistrate. He's very good." State of Wei praised Liu Zhimo in a low voice.
Magistrate Ma raised the corner of his mouth, and said with an air of pride: "Of course, if not, why would I be so dead set on following sire in his work?" He felt that he was only able to meet County Magistrate after three lives of good fortune, "If you follow Master for a long time, you will discover that he is much better." Although the lord would tease him from time to time, he was an adult who cared a lot about his subordinates. He was really good.
"I trust Brother Ma." Brother Ma said that it would definitely be good.
Magistrate Ma laughed twice, found two sets of clothes for the yamen runners and pa.s.sed them to Wei Guo, telling him to come to the yamen tomorrow.
Wei Guo held his robe and said h.e.l.lo.
"One day, I'll get your sister-in-law to search around for you and see if there's any good girls that are suitable for you." Wei Guo was already quite old, and he was still alone, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.
Upon hearing that, Wei Guo touched the scar on his face and bitterly smiled. He said forget it, don't scare her.
There had been enough blows before, and he didn't want to suffer any more.
Magistrate Ma glared at him, "What? Do you want to spend the rest of your life alone? " Seeing that Wei Guo wanted to speak, he waved his hand to stop him, "Do well. I don't believe that no girl would fall for you."
Wei Guo sighed in his heart as he nodded and said, "Then I'll be troubling sister-in-law."
"Why are brothers so courteous?" Magistrate Ma heavily patted his shoulder again. With Wei Guoguo's thick and solid skin, there was no reaction, but rather, it hurt his own hand. "Go back, don't come too late tomorrow."
Wei Guo responded and left with his robe.
Liu Zhimo just finished looking at the arrangement organized by Magistrate Ma. When he felt that there was a problem with the Zong Volume, he raised his head and looked at Magistrate Ma who was walking back and asked.
Magistrate Ma shook his head and said, still not, he had already prepared the notice so that it could be posted anytime.
Liu Zhimo told him to bring the notice over, and he asked the guards to post it. After that, they left the Wutong Village.
Going to the Wutong Village again?
Why are we going to the Wutong Village again? Didn't he go there yesterday?
Magistrate Ma was full of suspicions, but he did not dare to ask, for fear of getting hit by Liu Zhimo's attack.
It would be better for him to think about it.
"Alright …" After he replied, he returned to his seat and gave the notice he prepared to Liu Zhimo.
When Liu Zhimo was instructing the guards to post a notice, he suddenly thought of the matter of the Wutong Village being dismissed.
After Liu Zhimo finished speaking, Magistrate Ma asked Liu Zhimo in a low voice, why didn't he go and look for Lady Wu yesterday?
"Oh? How do you know I didn't look for you yesterday? Didn't you fall asleep? "
My lord, can you forget this? Magistrate Ma looked at Liu Zhimo, on the verge of tears.
This was his shame. He had told his wife about it when he got home, and she had scolded him again, saying that he had no food to eat while he was home.
People ate like the sky, how could they eat without food?
Even if it was just for food, he had to put in all his effort to follow the lord, since there would never be another instance where he fell asleep yesterday.
Liu Zhimo did not tease Magistrate Ma anymore and directly told Magistrate Ma. He felt that Lady Wu must have tolerated something and decided to clear the case overnight. He could not go and openly look for her, but had to go in secret and not let others know.
"My lord, are you saying that someone is threatening Lady Wu?"
"That's a possibility." Liu Zhimo nodded his head, "But we have not investigated thoroughly, so we cannot come to a conclusion yet."
Magistrate Ma thought that this made sense, and acknowledged it.
However, their plans could not keep up with the changes. Before they could even go to Wutong Village, Director He, who had been sick for a long time, came.
His arrival broke their plan to go to Wutong Village.
Liu Zhimo leaned his back against the chair and crossed his arms on his legs. He looked at Director He with a smile that was not a smile, "Director He, have you recovered?" To take leave every two or three days, did he really think that the yamen was his home? Did he drive it?
Director He placed his fist by his mouth and coughed a few times. Then, he opened his mouth and spoke: "Sir, good … "I'm almost done." If not for the fact that he thought of Liu Zhimo's threat, he really wouldn't have come to the yamen.
What was he doing at the yamen? was he ordered by Liu Zhimo?
Hearing that, Liu Zhimo clapped his hands hard and said, "Good, good, Director He is really not bad, he has brought sickness with him to work." He turned his head to the side and looked at Magistrate Ma, "Magistrate Ma, you have to learn from Director He more."
Magistrate Ma stood up and replied respectfully. He had his head lowered, and he was trying his best to hold back a smile.
Watching the adults gobble down Director He, it was really fun.
Did Director He still think that the County Magistrate was an ordinary county magistrate? You need to act based on his eyes?
He gritted his teeth in hatred when he thought of the old county magistrate.
The corrupt officials oppress the people, and he prays that they will die a horrible death.
"Director He, why don't you continue going back to your house to recuperate? Otherwise, if others were to find out, they would misunderstand that this official was cold-blooded and had squeezed out a sick subordinate. "
Director He clenched his teeth hard, until it hurt, and then he squeezed out a few words, "No need, he can work."
He wouldn't let Liu Zhimo have an excuse to kick him away.
Besides, he wasn't really sick. He didn't need to go back to rest.
"Are you sure you don't need it?"
"Sir, there really is no need."
"Alright …" Liu Zhimo glanced at Director He's sleeves and laughed mockingly: "Director He, you've smeared too much white on your face, it got onto your sleeves."
Hearing that, Director He subconsciously looked at his sleeves, seeing the white powder on it, he lightly patted, suddenly, his movements became stiff.
It's over. I've been exposed.
At this moment, Director He even had the heart to die.
How could he have been so careless? Took the white powder to the sleeve?
"Director He, is Mrs. Cui's rouge water powder effective?" Liu Zhimo did not let Director He go, and continued to ask him with a smile.
If he didn't give her face, why would he give her face?
The person who treated history as child's play was not someone who was worthy of his respect.
Magistrate Ma nearly choked on his laughter. He had to endure for a long time before he managed to hold back the smile on his face, "Master, I think that Mrs. Cui's rouge and cosmetics are pretty useful. Otherwise, why would Director He be so happy?" Yesterday, he did not expose Director He, and allowed him to seek death. Today, the Lord did not leave him with any face, and directly exposed him.
"Director He, can you help this official ask what kind of rouge and cosmetic powder the Mrs. Cui uses another day? I'd like to buy it for Madam. "
Listening to Liu Zhimo and Magistrate Ma singing the same tune, Director He was so angry that his entire body was trembling.
If it wasn't for Fourth Uncle's words, he would have gone back long ago.
He took a few deep breaths to suppress his anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, you must be joking. Before I came, I helped my wife draw her eyebrows. My sleeves accidentally brushed against her face." He paused, "I'm a man, what do I have to wear?"
His excuse was not bad, and Liu Zhimo laughed.
