Where Did This Old Angry Youth Come From? Was it a sin for Yours Truly to eat a mouthful of roasted meat?
Ye Jin's brows furrowed immediately. He looked up in the direction of the courtyard door and saw an old man with his hands behind his back, rushing in like a dragon and tiger.
Behind the old man, a middle-aged man with a refined appearance carried the bailiff who was guarding the door in as if he was carrying a chick.
When Ye Jin saw the appearance of these two people, he could not help but be stunned.
Huh?
What was going on?
Why did he feel a sense of familiarity with these two people? It was as if he had seen them somewhere before.
However, Ye Jin had never seen the memories of these two people before.
It was not just Ye Jin. When the old man walked into the backyard with his hands behind his back and saw Ye Jin, he also had a feeling of deja vu.
The old man could not help but frown.
The young man in front of him was not only handsome, but he also gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Humph!
I actually feel a sense of familiarity with a dog official who only knows how to enjoy life and doesn't know how to sympathize with the people?!
What a joke.
At this moment, the maid beside Ye Jin finally reacted and stood between the old man and Ye Jin. She put her hands on her hips and said to the old man,"Where did you come from? Do you know what place this is? How dare you be so impudent here? Hurry up and let Old Sun go!! Otherwise, when I call the other bailiffs back, I'll definitely punish you for trespassing into the county office.”
The corners of the old man's mouth curled up slightly, and a hint of mockery appeared on his face.
She didn't even look at the servant girl, but looked at Ye Jin from the corner of her eyes and asked,"" You're the magistrate of Shangyuan County?!"
Ye Jin picked up a piece of chicken wing and took a bite before answering casually," So what?!”
"Hmph, dog official, it's good that you admit it.”The old man snorted. When he saw the meat skewers and chicken wings on the charcoal fire, the anger in his heart increased." There are so many people in the world who can't eat enough. How dare you, a dog official, eat and drink here? Have you read all these years into a dog's stomach?! Don't you feel ashamed?"
艹!
Where did this old angry youth come from?
Is it a sin for me to eat a mouthful of roasted meat?!
"What does it have to do with me that the people in the world can't eat?! Shouldn't you go to Ying Tian City to argue with the old emperor? Why are you still holding on to me?! I'm the magistrate of Shangyuan County. Did anyone in my jurisdiction starve to death?! Moreover, eating a few skewers of meat would make him rich?! Although my salary is not much, I can still afford to eat a few mouthfuls of meat…"
"You…" The old man didn't expect Ye Jin's counterattack to be so sharp, and he didn't expect someone to be so bold as to anger him.
Therefore, he was stuck for a moment.
His expression turned even uglier.
It was as gloomy as water.
If looks could kill, his gaze would have already cut Ye Jin into a thousand pieces.
However, Ye Jin did not want to argue with him too much.
Although this old man was dressed in coarse clothes, his bearing was extraordinary. One look and one could tell that he was not an ordinary person.
The middle-aged man behind him looked elegant and easy-going, but the murderous and decisive temperament revealed in his eyes showed that this person had been above others for a long time.
All the details revealed that these two people had extraordinary backgrounds.
Therefore, Ye Jin waved his hand and said,"The backyard of the county government is my private residence. Ordinary people are not allowed to trespass." If the two of you have other matters to attend to, hurry up tomorrow morning. You will be released today…"
He glanced at the servant girl and continued,""Chan 'Er, send the guest out."
The old man finally reacted at this time. He pointed at Ye Jin and sneered,"Hmph, you still say that you're not a dog official. It's only 10:00 now, and you're already released? Is the imperial court giving you so much salary every year for you to slack off in government affairs?”
Ye Jin spread his hands and said rather helplessly,""Does the Imperial Court really give me a lot of salary every year?!”
The old man was stunned." Huh?!"
"I am a seventh rank official with an annual salary of 90 stone meters. Now that the world was peaceful and there was an abundance of food, the price of rice was very cheap. 90 stone meters was only worth 20 silver taels. A mere 20 taels of silver is only enough for me and my maid to eat. I can't even start a family. With such a small salary, who gave an old man like you the courage to say,'The Imperial Court gives me so much salary every year'?”
"And what's wrong with releasing the yamen at 11:00? I only need one day to deal with political affairs. Shouldn't I have some private time?! Did the Emperor and those high-ranking officials in the Ying Tian Manor deal with political affairs all night long?!”
"Firstly, the imperial court did not give me overtime pay. Secondly, the salary given is so low. Thirdly, they did not set a good example.!”
Ye Jin stood up and met the old man's murderous gaze.
A series of rhetorical questions were fired like cannonballs, once again confusing the old man.
However, the old man's reaction was also very fast.
In just an instant, he had already reacted.
He looked at Ye Jin and roared," Since you feel that the imperial court is so harsh on you, why don't you resign and scram? You're still lingering here. Isn't it because you can't bear to give up the power in your hands?" A dog official like you who holds an official position and doesn't do anything really deserves to die, deserves to be killed…Humph, it seems that the Kongyin Case has not made you officials feel fear. You want the Imperial Court to raise its butcher knife against you again, right?!”
However, Ye Jin's next words left the old man speechless.
Ye Jin spread his hands and said helplessly,"I submitted my resignation half a year ago, but it was rejected by the Ministry of Personnel.”
Old Man:
Was he slapped in the face?
Why did she feel her face burning?!
