Just when the changes began in the Great Worship Temple in Zoroastrian, in the county court of Heishui City, Liu Chuang, the county commander, stared at the old tamarix in the county court with a depressed expression.

This county order is counted as an ancestor, and he can also climb to the line of King Jing of Zhongshan in seven or eight turns, and he is also half a clan. However, everyone knows that Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan, has focused all his work on sowing seeds as stallions, with hundreds of sons and countless daughters.

However, the identity of the clan is difficult to determine, and the position of county commander is always real. It is a big county, and the county order is 600 stone official rank, but it prefers to die or not die, and it is the county seat of Zhangye County. This state, that is, the so-called county annex and prefecture and county city in later generations, is simply the last thing to accept for the county order.

As a pro-people official of a county, the county order has great governing power and autonomy, but the attached county order is because of the pressure on the top of the head and the county court, and the status and situation are the same as living under the same roof, and the little daughter-in-law who is bullied by the evil mother-in-law all day is almost the same.

If it's just these official situations, it's just that the situation in this Blackwater City is special, and in addition to the two major forces of Liangzhou's unique wealthy government, the divine power has also developed extremely strongly.

It is the tamarix in the county court that almost completely blocks the lighting of the county court, and it is also full of countless weirdness.

In the old practice of the county court, after the county order and the officials with rank took office, the first thing was not to take the palm print, but to prepare the three animal wine ceremony, and invite the scripture master of the Zoroastrium to preside over the sacrifice of the tamarix, which was full of twisted galls and thick with several people hugging each other in the county court. According to the old officials in the county court, this tamarix is called Liu Minggong, which is extremely effective and can protect the official with a smooth career, but if he is disrespectful to Liu Minggong, he will have to go for a long time.

For no reason, there is an ugly and weird old tree born in the county court, blocking the lighting of the lobby, which is already unpleasant. However, this tamarix also has two sacrifices in spring and autumn, and worship in the morning and dusk, so that the jokes from the officials are: "But I know Liu Minggong, but I don't know Liu Mingting." ”

For decades, it is not that there is no new county commander who wants to do something to this old willow tree, but any county order that has such an idea is either the official building is on fire, or his wife and children are seriously ill. In the end, one by one, they had to pay a lot of money and humble words, and ask the scripture teachers of the Zoroastrian religion to come and pray to Liu Minggong for understanding, so that they could settle down a little.

Over time, the people in the county court regarded Liu as a god, and even the scripture teachers with Zoroastrianism were greatly respected. In Zhangye County, Zoroastrianism is flourishing, and it was originally just a little naturalized Hu people to play the fire worship of Hu God, and it gradually has a tendency to spread.

Liu Chuang has been in office for more than a year, and he is only in his thirties now, and it is the time when the idea of fame is hot in his heart. just fell into such an embarrassing situation, there is the evil mother-in-law of the county court, and there is a group of wealthy family heads and Zoroastrian scripture teachers, all of whom can speak in the county court, and there is a strange willow in the county court that is a god and a ghost. Such a county order is really tasteless and ruthless.

Today's Liu County Ling was also in a depressed mood, staring at the strange willow in front of the lobby, without any thoughts of directors. In any case, most of the affairs in the county court are not decided by him, the county magistrate, and he is just boiling up his qualifications, so how can he be in the mood to pay attention to the details? It's a big deal to delay every day, and if you have enough qualifications, it is only right to change the local government as soon as possible.

However, Liu Xianling wanted to follow the rule of inaction, but trouble had to fall from the sky. When he was wandering outside the world, there was a busy commotion in the county court, and for a while, the outside of the hall was full of screams and grievances, and several subordinate officials in the county court shouted one after another: "How did this happen! How did you bring in so many parishioners, and they were all seriously injured! Chen Er and Chen San, why don't you hurry up and call the medical workers to come for diagnosis and treatment!"

Originally, Liu Chuang, the county magistrate without authority, was about to be forced into deep depression, listening to the movement outside the lobby, he couldn't help but be even more angry, and shouted: "Whoever is making noise outside, don't come in and tell the official!"

Hearing the shouting of his boss, Yan Zushi, who returned to the county court with this pile of seriously injured wastes, had to quickly bypass Liu Minggong in front of the hall and enter the lobby. Without waiting for Liu Chuang to ask, Yan Zushi had already bowed to the shrine and replied respectfully: "Ming Ting, today this group of religious people patrolled the city, and they didn't want to collide with the car of the Sili Lieutenant's Mansion outside the city gate. How to deal with it, please also ask the Ming Court to give a charter. ”

Liu Chuangduan sat behind a few cases, and glanced at Yan Zushi who was bowing down in the hall with an indifferent face, but he was not in a hurry to speak.

It is not the first time that these parishioners have smashed shops everywhere to extort money, and even closed their shops without permission, under the pretext that the restaurants around them do not conform to Zoroastrian teachings and are not clean enough. However, these parishioners always act under the sign of the government, not to mention that there are many subordinates in the county court who are willing to run for them, and how are there a few officials in the county court who correspond with the Zoroastrian Imar ibn in the city?

Even the history of this strict soldier in front of him has not been less in collusion with these religious people, and he has not been less beneficial.

On the contrary, it was his own Han county order, but he was not taken seriously by these thieves and criminals who colluded in one place.

Thinking of this, Liu Chuang's heart became even more tired. Just listening to Yan Shi's report, his face still moved slightly.

The two nursery rhymes that circulated all over the counties of Hexi, first-class wealthy and second-class officials, third-class religious people, and fourth-class Han, Liu Chuang had naturally heard them. However, in terms of identity, he is not as good as an old witch like Imar in Blackwater City, and he is simply not a third-class parishionist and a second-class official, but a third-class parishionist and a fourth-class official.

Hearing that an official passing by actually made such a ruthless move as soon as he arrived in Blackwater City, Liu Chuang's heart suddenly felt like a long-thirsty person pouring a large mouthful of honey water, and there was really no place for comfort.

Liu Xianling, who was in a good mood, looked at Yan Shushi's face at the moment, and actually had an unprecedented mood to look at things. He didn't look at the stinky face on Yan Shushi's face that was stuffed with horse manure, got up, and said solemnly: "According to the laws of this dynasty, although it is not a big crime to collide with an official's car, it is also necessary to punish copper with a cane, and this matter should be under the jurisdiction of this official and must be managed." ”

After that, he didn't care about Yan Zushi and knelt upright, went straight down to the hall, and walked to the front court of the county court in a good mood. This kind of chaotic scene of chickens and dogs jumping and busy, without seeing the county court's temperament, made Liu Chuang, the county magistrate, feel happy for the first time after he took office for so long.

It's a pity that his happy mood can't be maintained for too long, and he was disturbed by the announcement of the doorman: "The five officials of the Taishou Mansion are the Duke of Peng, and the Imali of the Zorofang Worship Temple has arrived!"
