Chapter 130 Chopsticks float and people's heads fall

(Recommended reading: When Xiao Yat returned to the camp with his hands dark, it immediately caused a sensation, people were first surprised by these black stones that could burn, then rejoiced, and finally crazy, the light blue flames warmed everyone's hearts; Whether it is the burning time or the heat it emits, coal is far better than firewood and grass, which is simply a treasure given by the mountain god!

There was no need to mobilize at all, people rushed to the hillside like a swarm, knives, axes, shovels, ......all that could be used, and those who really had no tools dug there with their bare hands, and they didn't care if the gravel and coal cut their hands, even the youngest children knew that they were picking up the cinders left on the side, and the herds of mules and horses were carried back and forth, and finally the whole camp turned into a black sea!

The fire drove away the cold, laughter filled the camp again, and the people called this black stone 'the gift of the mountain god', a god for relieving the suffering, and as for Xiao Yat, who brought them coal, it also had a new name...... The messenger of the mountain god!

It is said that this messenger has to go to the mountains every day, and he also sings a small tune made up by himself, "The mountain god sent me to patrol the mountains, and after patrolling the south and north mountains, beware of coal thieves and ......"

"Haha, is this treating me as a little demon patrolling the mountains?" Hearing all kinds of rumors, Xiao Yi couldn't help laughing, it doesn't matter, whether it is a god or a monster, as long as it can save people from the cold winter, it is worth offering incense to him!

Xiao Yi immediately ordered to build a mountain temple on the mountain where the coal mine was found, and worship at four o'clock.

In just a few days, the people have repaired a mighty and beautiful mountain temple with great enthusiasm, and the incense is prosperous, the difference is that the mountain gods elsewhere are all white-faced, but the mountain gods here are actually a little black face, sitting on the altar, holding a mountain whip in one hand, and holding a black coal block in the other hand, smiling ......

A few years later, it has become a local tourist attraction, the mountain gods of the world are white, only the mountain gods of Shanyang County, all are still black, countless literati and ink writers come here, but also leave Mobao to praise the merits of the "mountain god", of course, between the dragon and snake, people will occasionally mention the little monster who likes to patrol the mountains, it is said that this demon was later included in one of the four famous novels "Journey to the West", it is also a little famous......

The problem of heating was solved, Xiao Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, the next step was to accept the work of those scribes, after this natural disaster, it is just right to see how capable they are, how many people are excellent, how many people are qualified, or how many people will be bad reviews!

Xiao Yi took a team of personal soldiers to start patrolling the camp, and every place he went to carefully check the livelihood of the refugees, whether there was enough coal for heating, whether there were clothes to keep out the cold, and most importantly, whether their food was distributed in full, one battalion after another, Xiao Yi didn't say a word, just nodded from time to time, but frowned, and when he returned to the big tent of the Chinese army, he not only brought back the thirty scribes, but also brought back thirty pots, pots for boiling porridge!

Looking at the steaming porridge pot in front of them, the thirty scribes looked at each other, no one knew what it meant, and then looked at the doll Taishou on the seat, and couldn't help but make a chill rise in their hearts!

Xiao Yi is wearing a military uniform today, the 'Cantis Pattern Cold Iron Armor' is majestic, the 'Chiyou Ghost Helmet' is terrifying, and as for the 'Chopping Sword', it is even more immovable, the divine soldier is psychic, it knows that it can drink human blood again today!

"You have been in my camp for a while, and you have been entrusted with the important task of people's livelihood, and today is the time to test the results!" Xiao Yi smiled and touched his nose, governing the people first governs the officials, and the officials first govern the heart, whether it is black or red, you can know if you try it today!

"I don't know how Taishou-sama wants to check it? Do you need me to take the account books and count them one by one? A bachelor took half a step forward and asked tremblingly, only today they found out that this doll Taishou doesn't seem to be so easy to deal with!

"Huh! The account book and the like are just a play on words, and once you have it in hand, you can't change it with anyone! "Xiao Yicai will not be stupid to check any account book, the financial discipline that is so developed in the later generations, all kinds of calculation methods have come out, what is the result? There are still countless loopholes!

Accounts can be faked, but there are some things that can't be faked!

"Xiaobin, bring chopsticks!"

"No!"

"Dian Wei, the knife and axe hand prepares!"

"No!"

An ordinary chopstick, a row of knives and axes holding a ghost-headed broadsword, two seemingly unrelated things, this is Xiao Yi's magic weapon to check whether officials are incorruptible!

"The food in each camp is distributed according to the head, and there is no shortage of it, but the porridge in the existing camp that I found today is very thick, while some are thin and only a few grains of rice, why is this?" Xiao Yi pointed to the porridge pot in front of him, each corresponding to a person, "Today I will play a game with you, called 'Chopsticks Floating People's Head Falling', Xiaobin, let's do it, try porridge with chopsticks!" ”

"No!" Xiaobin strode forward and slammed the chopsticks in his hand into a pot, yes, the porridge was boiled very thickly, and the chopsticks stood upright after insertion.

"First place, qualified!"

This was followed by the second, "Qualified!" ”

The third "qualified!" ”

When it was inserted into the fourth pot, the chopsticks floated immediately after being inserted, and then fell to the side, and then looked at the pot, sure enough, it was all light water, and there were not many rice grains at all!

"Fourth, chopsticks fall to the ground!" Xiao Bin's voice was exceptionally clear, and it also contained the killing intent to talk about!

"Forgiveness of sins, my lord! Forgiveness! The scribe standing behind the pot immediately fell to his knees in fright, he really didn't expect Xiao Yi to check in this way, he thought that the distribution of grain and grass was a fat difference, anyway, there were so many refugees in the camp, and it was nothing for each person to eat a bite, so he deducted a little bit when he put the grain, in this kind of famine year, food is money!

As a result, greed is getting bigger and bigger, and the porridge is getting thinner and thinner, so rare that it can shine a shadow of a person, and even a person's heart!

"I told you a long time ago, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to bully, today I will do the right thing for the heavens, push it out, and cut it!" What Xiao Yi hates the most is these corrupt officials, they move, I don't know how many people they want to kill, if this kind of person is sent out to the ruling party, needless to say, it must be three feet high in the sky, scraped!

"Spare your life! I am willing to withdraw from the money and food I am greedy for, and then pay for my sins! "As soon as the words came out, not only the officials kneeling on the ground flew out of the sky, but even the other scribes were also terrified, and they were just embezzling a little food, and they were going to be killed? The law of the Han Dynasty is not so harsh, during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, not only can you use money to buy officials, but you can also use money to atone for your sins.

"Military law is ruthless, Dian Wei, enforce!"

"No!" For Dian Wei, the military order was as big as the sky, and he stepped forward to grab the paralyzed scribe, and went out with a ghost-headed broadsword, and soon, a short scream came; When Dian Wei stepped into the Chinese army's tent again, he was carrying a bloody human head in one hand!

"Lord Taishou spares his life, I am waiting for the guilt, I am willing not to be an official anymore, let me live, right?"

Seeing that Xiao Yi really killed people, the remaining twenty-nine scribes were so frightened that they fell to their knees, and they no longer had the arrogance they had at the beginning, especially a few who were also facing a pot of gruel, and they were even more frightened and trembled like chaff!

"Xiaobin, go on!" Xiao Yi was unmoved, it is better for a person to die than for the people of a place to die, and if this knife goes down today, there will be no problems in the rule of officials in Shanyang County for at least thirty years.

“…………”

"Eighth battalion, chopsticks overturned! ……”

"Count your fate, you are not too greedy, whip fifty whips, drive out of the camp, and never use it!" Xiao Yi waved his hand, and Dian Wei led another 'unlucky ghost' out, and he was given fifty lashes from Dian Wei, and he had to shed his skin if he didn't die!

“………………”

"Twelfth battalion, chopsticks on the ground!"

"Slash!"

As a result of some examination, thirty scribes, five chopsticks fell to the ground, and were killed; Eight were leaned and whipped, but two did not survive, and the rest were thrown out of the camp and left to fend for themselves; In the end, there are seventeen qualified ones left, and these people, no matter what their ability, are definitely first-class Qing officials!

"Haha! Congratulations to all of you, you are not only knowledgeable but also incorruptible, and you will be able to benefit the people and celebrities in history in the future! Xiao Yi laughed and came to these seventeen people, nodded with satisfaction, and congratulated them with fists.

"Lord Xie Taishou!" Seventeen people respectfully returned the salute together, just walked around in front of the ghost gate, the soles of their feet were cool, as for Xiao Yi, he was the soul envoy in their eyes!

"Where there is a punishment, there is a reward! Come on, Shangguan Yin! With a wave of Xiao Yi's big hand, a row of soldiers walked up with seventeen county order seals, this is the reward for those who qualify!

"From now on, you are the county magistrate of Shanyang County, remember to be careful about the government, love the people, and be a good official who is 'clear as water, clear as a mirror', everyone can rest assured, as long as you do a good job, you will have a bright future in the future!"

"No!" Holding the big seal, and then looking at the heads hanging outside the big tent, the seventeen newly baked county magistrates have only one thought, heaven and hell, "Dare to ask Lord Taishou, I don't know when we will take office?" ”

"Soon! ……”
