Shangyuan County Magistrate Ye Jin Could Be a Peerless Expert
Ye Jin stayed in this mysterious valley for a full two hours before coming out.
However, regardless of whether he entered or left the valley, he always wore a black veil that looked like a mask on his face and a pair of gloves on his hands.
Even though the weather was exceptionally good today, with the sun shining high in the sky and the temperature almost reaching 20 degrees Celsius, he still protected himself very tightly.
When he walked out of the valley alone, he actually burned the mask and gloves on his face with a lighter.
This series of inexplicable operations added a sense of mystery to others.
After leaving the valley, Ye Jin went to a manor more than ten miles away.
This manor looked ordinary to outsiders, but the crops planted were all high-yield crops.
For example, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and so on.
These high-yield seeds were all rewarded by the system. However, although Ye Jin was an ordinary person in his previous life, he had lived in the city since he was young and knew nothing about farming.
In order to prevent these precious seeds from being wasted by him, he thought of a way to set up a village and took in some refugees with farming experience to be his tenants.
The main job of these tenants was to cultivate these high-yield crops.
If the experiment was successful, Ye Jin would think of a way to present it to the court.
It wasn't Saint Mother Ye Jin.
It was because he had come to this world and even became the ruler of a county. He and Da Ming were already together in glory and loss.
If Da Ming were to prosper, it would be of great benefit to him and his descendants.
When they left the manor, it was already around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Ye Jin couldn't care less about his hard work and hurried back to the county office.
He first went to the backyard to change into his official uniform before returning to the main hall of the county government.
It was time for another day of wrangling.
In ancient times, county magistrates had multiple responsibilities, such as administration, justice, education, public security, taxation, agricultural production, and so on.
It could be said that apart from the army, the entire county's food, drink, toilet, and sleep were under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate.
To put it nicely, he was the local local emperor. To put it bluntly, he was the emperor's Yang Bailao.
However, this would depend on how he became an official.!
a good official is naturally tired.
Corrupted officials and mediocre officials were naturally very idle.
This was the reason why officials in ancient times had to hire advisors and attendants to take up their posts.
On the one hand, he was an official in a foreign land. Without his own confidants, he could not control his power at all. He could only become a puppet of the local wealthy families and petty officials.
On the other hand, there were too many things to manage, and one person could not handle them all.
Since ancient times, only Ye Jin, this weirdo, would dare to go to his post alone with only a personal maid.
Most importantly, it allowed him to manage Shangyuan County in an orderly manner.
...
At the tea shop opposite the county government.
Zhu Yuanzhang drank his bitter tea while listening to the fierce-looking man's report in a low voice.
This man's background was not small. He was the first commander of the Brocade Guard of Ming Dynasty, Mao Xiang.
Mao Xiang had followed Zhu Yuanzhang since a long time ago and was a member of the Inspection School before the Ming Dynasty was established.
In order to strengthen the central rule, Zhu Yuanzhang established the Jinyiwei and appointed him as the first commander of the Jinyiwei.
Mao Xiang was also very conscientious as the commander of the Brocade Guard. Three of the four major cases of Hongwu were his handiwork.
Unfortunately, under normal circumstances, cruel officials did not end up well.
For example, Zhang Tang during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhou Xing and Lai Juncheng during the reign of Emperor Wu Zetian, and so on.
Their fates were extremely miserable.
The reason was very simple. These cruel officials were actually just a tool for the rulers to control the court.
Discard after use.
When the time came, they would be dragged to the market and beheaded, pushing all the blame onto these cruel officials.
The Emperor was still wise, but he was temporarily blinded by these treacherous officials.
It was a very crude plan, but it was very easy to use.
Naturally, Mao Xiang did not know that his future would be extremely miserable. Thus, he had been playing the role of a loyal dog until now.
He looked around vigilantly and said,""The security of that valley is very tight, but this general has already arranged for people to guard it day and night.”
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang's expression did not change, he continued,"However, this valley is very mysterious. The guards are all dressed in black and cover their mouths and noses, making it impossible for people to know their true appearance for a moment. Moreover, after Ye Jin left the valley, he actually burned the black gauze covering his nose and mouth, as well as the gloves, which made me very surprised. Therefore, I suspected that this valley might be the den of the White Lotus Society and other evil sects.”
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned when he heard the words 'White Lotus Sect', but he didn't say anything.
Mao Xiang struck while the iron was hot." If it is as I have expected, this valley is only thirty li from the capital. It is too dangerous, so I suggest that we immediately send the Brocade Guard to search the valley. If there are any traces of evil sects, we must immediately eradicate them…"
However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not take his advice. Instead, he said indifferently,"Just do your job well. It's not up to you to worry about how to deal with it.”
Mao Xiang was instantly drenched in cold sweat as he hurriedly said,""Yes... I was reckless."
"Then tonight?" Mao Xiang asked cautiously.
"Send more people to investigate carefully. I want to know what secrets this valley hides before tomorrow morning.”Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Yes."
"Your Majesty, there's one more thing.”
"Speak."
"When Ye Jin left the city today, I sent many spies to follow him quietly. However, according to the reports of the spies, Ye Jin almost discovered that someone was following him a few times. Therefore, I guess that this person is not a weak scholar, but a top-notch expert…"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned even more.
Although he had only known Ye Jin for less than a day, this person gave him a mysterious feeling.
He had a feeling that he couldn't grasp it.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang very unhappy.
This old man is not only the ruler of a country, holding the power to kill hundreds of millions of people, but also the founding emperor of the Ming Empire. How many heroes have been killed by horses?!
Now, he actually couldn't see through a little brat?!
Illusion.
It must be an illusion.
Unknowingly, he turned his gaze to the yamen opposite the tea shop.
At this moment, there were already people walking towards the yamen.
Because the Shangyuan County government would hear the cases that were squeezed during this period every five days, the time was set to be in the next afternoon (3 pm to 5 pm).
Unlike other yamen, Shangyuan County's yamen was open to the people of the entire county. For the people who lacked entertainment, it was a good place to kill time.
Therefore, whenever it was time to try a case, there would be people coming to the entrance of the yamen to watch the county magistrate try the case.
