The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

"As ordered!"

Yan Shiqi turned and walked out of the study, and went straight to the outside of the County Magistrate's Mansion, looking at the many people who came to participate in the selection who were crowded together.

"Master Yan, when does the selection begin?"

When someone saw Yan Shiqi appear, they hurriedly urged him forward.

They were all people who had come from far away after seeing the announcement of Liuchang County’s talent selection.

"Everyone, please be patient, the selection is about to begin. Lord Zhenguojun has been waiting in the study for a long time. Please line up. Lord Du will lead you to meet the Lord Zhenguojun in person."

Yan Shiqi swept his eyes over the crowd, secretly wondering in his heart how many people could pass the seemingly simple but very difficult selection for the Zhenguojun?

Hua Hua Hua...

Then he ordered people to line up the people who would take part in the selection one by one. Du Shangling walked in front of the crowd. He didn't know who the specific people for the selection were.

"Please ask Lord Du to lead them outside the study one by one. After they pay their respects to the Lord of the State, they can leave and wait for the list to be announced."

Yan Shiqi looked at Du Shangling and said slowly.

"Ok."

Du Shangling was also very curious. He didn't know what the selection was about, but he didn't ask much. He just followed Yan Shiqi's instructions and started walking towards the study of the county magistrate's mansion with the first candidate.

In this way, Du Shangling brought the selected people back and forth between the study and the county magistrate's mansion, with confusion in his eyes.

He had no idea what the assessment was about, so he could only lead everyone to the outside of the study one by one. After paying their respects to the King of Zhenguo, he ordered the selected people to leave.

Du Shangling didn't notice that every time he passed by, there was a broom. Some people walking behind him would bend down to pick up the broom and lean it against the shelf next to it, while others would walk over the broom. Not far away, there were two people sitting, constantly recording the reactions of the people passing by the broom.

After about two hours, Du Shangling was sweating profusely and breathing heavily. He finally led all the people who came to participate in the selection to walk.

"What's going on? What are the contents and questions of the selection? We haven't even seen the appearance of the King of the State, and we are notified that the assessment is over?"

"Now it seems that the announcement of the Zhenguojun recruiting talents is probably a scam. It's a waste of our trust in him that we traveled thousands of miles to participate in the selection."

"If I had known it was just a formality, I wouldn't have wasted my travel expenses and energy. It's really disappointing. I thought the King of Zhen Guo had some great abilities."

……

The many people who came to participate in the selection gathered outside the County Magistrate's Mansion, dissatisfaction on their faces, and they were all talking and whispering.

Even Du Shangling was puzzled. He looked at Yan Shiqi not far away and said, "Sir Yan, what exactly is the king up to? What is the content of the selection? There is no topic yet. I am really curious."

"Master Du, you really didn't find the content of the test. You brought so many people and walked back and forth 127 times, but you didn't find anything special?"

Yan Shiqi smiled, looked at Du Shangling and asked.

Du Shangling frowned and kept recalling the whole journey from the county governor's mansion to the study. What was so special about it? He then widened his eyes and looked at Yan Shiqi, saying, "Could it be the broom lying across the road?"

"Ok!"

Yan Shiqi nodded to Du Shangling.

"Ah... Lord Zhenguojun is really different from others. I feel extremely ashamed." Du Shangling opened his mouth wide. No wonder the broom would fall on the side of the road every time he walked by. He stood the broom up four times when he walked by. Later, he was so tired that he was too lazy to bend down.

"The Lord of the State has arrived!"

Wei Xian's sharp voice rang out, and the originally noisy scene became quiet.

Many of the selected candidates also looked at Ye Feng.

Everyone was so shocked, they were really too young.

Ye Feng walked to the front, looked at the people participating in the selection, and said: "You must be very curious about what the selection is about, right?"

"Well! Please help me, Lord Zhenguo!"

Many of the selected candidates nodded in response.

"The content of the selection is very simple. Every time you pass by the courtyard path, the brooms placed there will be arranged by the yamen runners in advance to put the brooms down on the edge of the road. Among the people you pass by, only sixteen people will stand up the brooms. These sixteen people will pass the test."

Ye Feng's hearty voice rang out.

The more than one hundred people who participated in the selection were all stunned.

"You will all become officials of Liuchang County in the future. If you don't have keen observation skills, you will naturally not be qualified for the position. In addition to having keen observation skills, you must also be willing to do it. You must know that you are the ones who have the most contact with the people. If you don't do it, no matter how ambitious you are, it will only be empty talk."

"Let me ask you, if you can't even stand up a simple broom, how can you set up a county if I appoint you as a county magistrate?"

The many candidates who were indignant just now were completely silent.

They never expected that Ye Feng's selection of talents this time was not to test their ability to study, nor their ability to govern the country.

Instead, it was a real test of their abilities to "know" and "do". They felt a little ashamed in their hearts. As Ye Feng said, most of them saw the broom lying across the curb but were too lazy to straighten it out.

"Master Yan, recruit sixteen people. You can select six county magistrates, county secretaries and chief clerks from the six counties in Liuchang County." Ye Feng turned around and looked at Du Shangling, who looked a little ashamed. He walked by 127 times and only stood up the broom four times. He said, "Master Du, you have stood up the broom four times in total, which proves that the four people who participated in the selection were lucky and had noble people to help them. Luck is often a part of strength. They are also recruited."

"Thank you, Lord Zhen Guo!"

Du Shangling's legs went weak and he quickly knelt down, feeling ashamed.

"As for the rest of you, Liuchang County is now in a state of disrepair. In addition to the main officials such as the county magistrate, the county magistrate and the chief clerk, we also need yamen runners, constables, and hired legal advisors. If you are willing to stay and serve, just register one by one, and Lord Yan and Lord Du will make the appointments." After Ye Feng finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the county magistrate's mansion.

"Farewell, Lord Zhenguo!"

The twenty people who were successfully hired were so excited that they all knelt down.

The rest of the people were also very happy when they heard that they could stay and work as yamen runners and constables, and that they could hire legal advisors.

"The selection of the Zhen Guojun is really ingenious. We are so lucky, thanks to Lord Du for helping us put up the broom."

"Lord Du is truly our benefactor."

"My mother asked a fortune teller to tell me that I was destined to be an official and that I would meet a noble person who would help me. Wasn't she right?"

The happiest person was Du Shangling, who helped them hold up the broom and was lucky enough to be selected as four people. They all gathered together, smiling widely.
