C411 awakening

Magistrate kept hinting in his heart that he could not be angry, that he could not be angry. After hinting for a while, he finally managed to suppress the anger in his heart.

Behind him, Liu Zhimo looked at Magistrate's furious back, smirked, and leisurely walked forward.

Along the way, whenever people saw Liu Zhimo, they would come up and chat with him. They would ask him if he was alright out of concern.

Liu Zhimo replied the commoners in a good mood, telling them not to worry, he was fine.

When he was about to say goodbye to another person who came up to him, the Magistrate suddenly spoke up, "I didn't expect that the Lord Liu would be so welcomed by the common people." This was truly something he had never expected.

From this, it could be seen that Liu Zhimo was a good official. Unfortunately, they were not on the same side.

He then looked at Liu Zhimo who looked indifferent, and admired him from the bottom of his heart. This young and experienced youth.

Back then, when he was at Liu Zhimo's age, his mentality wasn't that mature either.

No wonder the Emperor sent him down to the Ninghua County to train.

It could be imagined how this youth would develop in a few years' time.

Such a person could only be a friend, not an enemy.

If he was an enemy, it was best not to let him grow, or else …

A hint of darkness flashed past Magistrate's eyes, he had to think carefully about how he should report this to the Duke about Liu Zhimo.

Liu Zhimo said indifferently. The eyes of the common people were clear.

"..."

Magistrate heard the meaning behind Liu Zhimo's words, he frowned and decided to not speak with Liu Zhimo anymore, so as to avoid angering himself to death.

Liu Zhimo looked at Magistrate in the blink of an eye. Seeing that he did not make a sound, his eyes flashed with ridicule.

His words stabbed at his sore spot. Did he not dare to make a sound?

Others might not know about the actions of the Magistrate in the city, but he was very clear about that.

When he was dealing with the Magistrate, he had his men investigate it and find out what he had done in secret.

If he hadn't collected enough evidence, he would have reported it to the emperor long ago.

Who would give the Magistrate the chance to bounce in front of him?

"Lord Magistrate, do you think what I said is reasonable?"

Without stopping, the Magistrate nodded his head slightly, making sense.

What could he say? Can you say it doesn't make sense?

Liu Zhimo kept asking this kind of question on purpose.

Liu Zhimo held his hands behind his back and looked ahead, then continued to speak indifferently: "This official thinks that you have a point too, us officials must think for the citizens, and wholeheartedly do things for the citizens, if not, we will receive retribution." Pausing for a moment, he asked, "Lord Magistrate, what do you think?"

Magistrate almost bit off his gums, he said yes again.

In order to prevent Liu Zhimo from continuing this topic, he automatically changed the topic, "Lord Liu, how many soldiers did you send to guard the The Imperial Court Against Thieves? To his knowledge, the Ninghua County did not have many yamen runners.

Since the Magistrate had changed the topic, Liu Zhimo would not continue the conversation.

Sometimes, if you force it too hard, it might backfire. If you want to see something better, you should stop.

"Ten Liu Family soldiers s and six bailiffs."

Liu Family soldiers?

Hearing this, Magistrate could not help but take in a breath of cold air. Could this be the Liu Family soldiers he was thinking of?

"Is it the Liu Family soldiers sent by the Guardian General's House?" It was said that the Liu Family soldiers was powerful in martial arts. It was said that one man against ten, was it true?

Liu Zhimo gave a bland grunt of acknowledgement.

If the Magistrate didn't retreat, he wouldn't have revealed his trump card.

He was clearly saying that it was completely impossible to take The Imperial Court Against Thieves away from him. If he wanted to use force, he wouldn't be afraid of him at all.

If he didn't have a card up his sleeve, why would he call him Xuan?

He was not an impulsive person and would not place his family in danger.

It was precisely because he was confident enough that he didn't dare to show any weakness when facing Magistrate.

Hearing Liu Zhimo's words, Magistrate looked at Liu Zhimo with jealousy and envy.

The same person and different lives, the same umbrella and the same handle, how could Liu Zhimo have such a good life?

Not only was he supported by the Imperial Advisor, but the Liu Family was also his shield.

No wonder he wasn't afraid of him.

He had a powerful backer.

"Lord Liu has such a large backing, why would they leave it in such a remote county? Why not stay in the capital? "

With Liu Zhimo's connections, he could definitely stay in the capital.

I wonder what was the reason for the Emperor coming to such a remote county?

"Oh, this official asked for it." Liu Zhimo replied casually, "Staying in the capital is too boring. Only remote counties are interesting."

Hehehehe...

Hearing that, Magistrate wanted to laugh, how dare he say that it was meaningless to stay in the capital? Did he know that the capital he spoke of was the dream he had for his entire life?

This was truly infuriating.

If he had Liu Zhimo's background, he wouldn't have to climb so hard.

Unfortunately, he wouldn't be reincarnated. If he couldn't get into a good family, he could only climb up by hook or by crook.

"Lord Liu, you are blessed." He was the only one who would say that staying in the capital was boring. Who would say something like that?

Liu Zhimo raised his eyebrows, and looked at the constipated Magistrate. "What's the meaning of staying in the Han Forest Academy? Why not go to the county town and do some practical things for the people? Isn't that what we were doing in the Imperial examinations? " These were his heartfelt words, and he truly felt that it was much better to do practical things for the people than to stay in the Han Lin Courtyard.

Only by understanding the needs of the people and experiencing the hardships of the people would he be able to walk the right path no matter how far he went in the future.

Original intent?

Hearing the words' junior high ', Magistrate was a little entranced. Why did he want to take the examinations? What was the purpose of the Imperial examinations? And what was it for that brought him to this point?

That's right, he didn't want to be humiliated and wanted to stand out. That was why he had gone all out to study, take exams, and become a government official.

Later, he fulfilled his wish.

However …

He glanced at the youth beside her and couldn't help but ask, "What was his original intention?"

Hearing the Magistrate's strangeness, Liu Zhimo tilted his head and looked at him, his eyes flashing slightly. He then said honestly, "Before becoming a county magistrate, in order to not let others bully my family, after becoming a county magistrate, I felt the responsibility of a county magistrate and decided to do more for the citizens and let them live a good life." He paused, "A person's life isn't long, isn't short. Doing more meaningful things is not a wasted life."

He did not know if his words could affect the Magistrate. As long as he had a clear conscience.

Magistrate was silent for a while, his expression was a little complicated. He said that Liu Zhimo was born with a lot of money, how could he have such a thought?

Liu Zhimo looked at Magistrate in shock, "Does Lord Magistrate not know about this official's past?" He thought that he had investigated him thoroughly long ago, just like how he had investigated him thoroughly, "This lowly official grew up in the countryside, and was not better off than Lord Magistrate."

Hearing that, Magistrate remembered Liu Zhimo's past. His heart was disturbed by Liu Zhimo's words and he couldn't recall it for a moment.

He looked at Liu Zhimo with an even more complicated expression. The youth in front of him had indeed suffered even more than he had.

His parents died young, so he did not live an easy life with his little sister-in-law and his little fiancée and his three little sisters. No wonder he said that his original intention was to not let others bully his family.

Back then, it was precisely because he saw others bullying his family that he went all out to study and take the exam. It was to make sure that his mother lived a good life and that no one dared to look down on their family.

He did it.

However, in the darkness of the government, he slowly lost his heart and walked further and further away on the wrong side of the road.

Suddenly, he remembered what his mother had told him before he passed away. She wanted him to be a proper official, a good official who cared for the common people.

What did he say?

He solemnly said, "He will, he will become a good official for the sake of the common people."

Unexpectedly, within a few years, he had forgotten his mother's will.

He deserved to die … He didn't take his mother's will to heart.

"I never thought that the Lord Liu would have such deep insights at such a young age. This official is truly impressed." This time, he sincerely thanked Liu Zhimo. If not for his words, he would not have been able to wake up to reality.

Liu Zhimo was able to perceive the changes in Magistrate's words, he raised the corner of his lips and laughed: "Magistrate, you flatter me." It was good that he could listen, but he was afraid that the other party wouldn't listen.

Magistrate laughed out loud, and said in a somewhat intimate manner, "As expected of Liu Siye's son, to have surpassed Lan in age!" He had heard of the Liu Siye who was famous in the capital back then, but unfortunately, he did not have the ability to meet Liu Siye.

Otherwise, he really wanted to see, what kind of person was Liu Siye, who could teach his son so well?

Liu Zhimo's tone became a little lighter as he said this. He wasn't even half as good as his father.

He had always felt this way. If his father were to enter the imperial government, his name would definitely be recorded in the annals of history.

He had set his father as his goal, which was to keep him moving forward.

"Lord Liu, don't belittle yourself."

"No need for that. In reality, I am indeed inferior to my father. My master also said so."

His father was indeed much stronger than him. Otherwise, how could his name shake the capital?

Even now, so many people knew his father's name.

One could imagine how formidable his father was back then.

No matter what, he was proud of his father.

Mr. Luo also said that?

The Magistrate looked at Liu Zhimo and said that he was good too, much better than common people like them.

With such an intelligent father, how could the child be lacking?

Liu Zhimo laughed and no longer said anything.

The two of them fell silent for a moment. They only exchanged a glance when they arrived at the yamen and saw the noisy scene there.

"What happened?" Magistrate frowned slightly.

Liu Zhimo pursed his lips, he said he would go over and see.

He wasn't sure what had happened.
