Not only did each of their counties receive money, but the national treasury also took away a large sum.

As so many officials were beheaded in this incident, naturally many new officials were appointed.

Including the three county magistrates who always bribed Yao Yifeng, they were all beheaded and replaced by new county magistrates.

But for some vacancies, the person will not take up the position immediately, but the second-in-command will take over temporarily. For example, the current prefect of Yuzhou is the second-in-command of the prefectural city, who is taking over temporarily until a suitable candidate is found.

However, those had little to do with Xiao Yan, who was still busy dealing with various affairs of the yamen.

There are still old cases and unjust cases that he needs to investigate.

In short, there are so many things to do.

Xiao Yan still couldn't go home every day. He would only go home once every few days, or even several days.

Even if I go home, I don’t get home until night.

Xiao Yan was so diligent, so naturally the other people in the yamen were also led to be extremely diligent, responsible and full of enthusiasm.

……

It was already the twelfth lunar month, and Jiang Ningning's face was finally completely healed. There was no trace of scar left, and her whole face looked like a peeled egg.

Only then did everyone realize that Jiang Ningning was so beautiful.

Especially the young men, they were all envious of Xiao Yan. After all, Jiang Ningning was not only a lucky charm for her husband, but also capable and beautiful.

Some people had seen Jiang Ningning as a child. Knowing that she was pretty even when she was little, they weren't surprised. They just sighed, "They say girls change a lot when they grow up. Ning is even prettier than when she was little. Look at how pretty she is."

"That's right." I don't know how many people echoed.

Jiang Ningning already knew that her face would be completely healed, or she had been controlling it with her healing power, otherwise it would have healed sooner. Now that her face was completely healed, she naturally had little emotional fluctuation.

On the other hand, Jiang Shengcai and Sun Shi were completely worry-free.

Although they had previously thought that their daughter's face would be completely healed by the end of the year, it was not completely healed in the end. But now it is completely healed, so they are naturally very happy. Together with Tian and Xiao Fushan, they personally cooked a large table of dishes to celebrate.

On the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Doctor Zhang Xuanhu nodded repeatedly and said, "You are indeed a gifted person, learning very quickly. Apart from anything else, your bone setting skills are already better than mine. In that case, I will leave Mr. Ji's leg to you, and I will assist you."

"Okay." Jiang Ningning originally wanted to cure Mr. Ji's leg, and the main reason she spent so much time learning medical skills from Dr. Zhang was for this, so she naturally agreed.

The leg had to be broken again and reconnected, so he would definitely need to rest for a long time. In order to get better treatment and better recuperation, Xiao Yan and Jiang Ningning personally went to invite Mr. Ji to live in their home in Zaoshu Village.

In order to heal his leg, and since it was the home of his apprentice and his wife, it would be fine to stay there for a few days, Mr. Ji naturally came to live in Zaoshu Village.

However, Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan have not yet married, so Mr. Ji lives in Xiao Yan's house.

It was not until this day, the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, that Mr. Ji's leg was officially treated.

Jiang Ningning and Zhang Xuanhu had originally prepared Ma Fei San, but Mr. Ji said that medicine is three-quarters toxic, and it is better to take and use less if possible, so he did not allow them to use Ma Fei San.

However, in order to prevent Mr. Ji from suffering too much pain and being unable to bear it, Jiang Ningning found a small stick and asked Mr. Ji to bite it in his mouth.

Then he quickly, fiercely and accurately broke Mr. Ji's lame leg.

Mr. Ji's eyes immediately widened, like bells. This girl, this ruthlessness, is really no less than that of his apprentice! At least let him prepare more!

Zhang Xuanhu was also startled. As expected, the young man's hands were steady and accurate. He broke the bone exactly where it needed to be straightened, without any deviation.

Jiang Ningning rarely showed any expression throughout the whole process. While she was busy reconnecting Mr. Ji's bones bit by bit, she secretly used her healing power to connect the parts that were invisible to the naked eye perfectly.

If Mr. Ji hadn't been biting the stick, he would probably have cursed loudly, "Damn it, why does it hurt so much!"

It obviously wasn't that painful when Zhang Xuanhu interrupted and then continued it before.

What Mr. Ji didn't know was that Jiang Ningning had used her healing power to cause some of his joints to grow and produce flesh, which was why it hurt so much.

Zhang Xuanhu was also frightened when he saw Mr. Ji sweating profusely. This girl really dared not to be so careful when setting bones.

But I have to say, it was a really good response.

There were some places he hadn't thought he could connect to, but he actually did.

Zhang Xuanhu even felt that Ji Wei's leg could be cured.

Ji Wei also felt that this was different from the pain he had experienced when his bones were set in the past, and he thought that it might really be curable.

After it was fixed, Jiang Ningning let out a breath: "It's done."

Ji Wei finally spat out the stick and said through gritted teeth, "Thank you so much."

In fact, he didn't want to force out the words. He was sincerely grateful to Jiang Ningning and was not angry at all, but it was really painful. His teeth were trembling and pressed together. He wanted to speak, but he could only squeeze it out through his teeth.

"You're too polite, Mr. Ji. But your leg will have to stay like this for a few days and you can't move it. As for the pain, it will probably take two or three days to start to subside." Jiang Ningning didn't want others to feel so much pain, but Doctor Zhang Xuanhu was right next to her helping her.

If she used too much healing power and recovered too quickly, Doctor Zhang Xuanhu would definitely become suspicious.

"It's okay, I can bear it." Ji Wei said through his teeth, his teeth still trembling.

Sure enough, after two or three days, the pain was gone, and Mr. Ji himself breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he is a veteran and has been injured countless times, but he is still afraid of pain.

On the day when Jiang Ningning treated Ji Wei's leg, Xiao Yan invited the wealthy families in Dengping County to the yamen for a talk.

This time, Tao Cheng, who no longer needed to go to the academy, naturally came with his father, Master Tao.

Xiao Yan didn't exchange pleasantries. After everyone had a sip of tea, he got straight to the point and said:

"I heard from County Magistrate Yuan that you once wanted to apply to hold a large-scale Lantern Festival in our county, but the previous county magistrate was afraid that too many people would gather and cause trouble, so he didn't agree."

"That's right." The rich people all said.

Xiao Yan said, "Then I agree, you guys go ahead and do it."

"Ah?" Everyone was stunned.

Even Tao Cheng was stunned. What was his good friend up to? He always took them by surprise.

Sitting below Xiao Yan, County Magistrate Yuan's eyes were filled with admiration. This was their leader, so decisive and resolute.

"I just want to ask you, do you want to do it?" Xiao Yan asked.

"I want to, I want to, I want to!" The wealthy people had no time to be stunned. They were afraid that Xiao Yan would regret it, so they all stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you very much, sir. Thank you very much, sir. But we, the common people, don't know what you mean by this, sir, and our hearts are pounding."

Having dealt with the county magistrate Xiao Yan many times, the wealthy families have long known that when dealing with their Lord Xiao, they should not play any tricks.
