After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

Murong Yun also sat in the bathtub with a blushing face, enjoying the warmth of the moment, until Zhong Ning knocked on the door to bring him some clean clothes.

Murong Yun was awakened from his deep thoughts and quickly refused, "Sister, I'm a grown-up boy. Men and women shouldn't touch each other. Just ask Brother Hei Lie to bring him in!"

Zhong Ning curled his lips and handed the change of clothes to Hei Lie. After the little guys were all washed and drank the warmed medicine, he felt relieved.

Arrived the next day.

The doctor came to the inn and took the pulse of Murong Yun and the other two. After a moment, he said, "The young master is recovering. He just needs to take two more doses of medicine and rest for a few days, and he will be fully recovered."

Zhong Ning ordered someone to pay the medical fee, and then brought the freshly boiled medicine to supervise the three little guys to drink. Although the three little guys had bitter faces, they drank the medicine in one gulp in order to recover as soon as possible.

After taking the medicine and eating some candied fruit, he finally calmed down.

"Sister, let me tell you, I've been so miserable these past few days..." After taking the medicine, Murong Yun started to pout again and complain to Zhong Ning in a wronged manner.

Zhong Ning listened for a moment, then asked, "Then what do you think is the reason why you have suffered so much?"

Murong Yun thought for a moment, then said, "The reason is that that person is so mean. I clearly wanted to help her, but she sold me out."

Speaking of this, Murong Yun's eyes began to turn red again.

Zhong Ning did not comfort him, but said directly: "No, you brought this upon yourself..."

Murong Yun's eyes widened, tears welling up in his eyes. Zhong Ning coldly shouted, "Hold it back. You're thirteen years old now, a grown-up kid. Why do you cry whenever you're in trouble? What a disgrace."

Murong Yun sniffed, looking at Zhong Ning's slightly cold face with a frown on his face. He gently tugged at Zhong Ning's sleeve and said aggrievedly, "Sister, you yelled at me!"

Zhong Ning:......

Zhong Ning sighed. She originally wanted to give him a thorough analysis, but perhaps she was too anxious.

Some things need to be understood by oneself, but Murong Yun has not yet reached the stage where he can understand them on his own. Zhong Ning summoned the secret guard and asked him to tell Murong Yun everything that had happened in the past two days.

Just then, Han Lin brought people here to pay their respects, but was turned away by Zhong Ning on the grounds that Murong Yun was ill and could not see guests. Han Lin was a little disappointed, but it was good to be able to see Her Royal Highness the Princess, at least he could report on the subsequent handling of the matter.

"Yesterday, during an inspection of the county yamen, we found that County Magistrate Cao has been here for decades. The others, such as the legal advisors, the chief clerks, the teachers, and the various runners, are mostly students and relatives promoted by County Magistrate Li himself."

"Dismiss all those who have a connection with Li Jun and put them in jail. Order County Magistrate Cao to take charge of administrative affairs for the next few days. If there is anything important, just come to the inn to report!" Zhong Ning ordered.

"As for the vacant positions, I will report to the Ministry of Personnel and ask the court to send someone to fill the official vacancies."

After all, the imperial examination had just passed, and there were a group of candidates who failed. They didn't want to go to the Academy of Sciences, nor did they want to interview for the position of Inspector-General.

Some of them returned to their hometowns to prepare for war again.

Another part of the people were reported to the Ministry of Personnel, waiting for vacancies.

That’s right, Juren can also become an official, but most of them start from the eighth or ninth rank assistant positions in the county government, such as chief clerk, historian, and instructor.

These people may stay in this position for the rest of their lives, or they may be transferred to other county offices and become seventh-rank county magistrates.

There are very few historical figures who were able to advance in their official careers without passing the imperial examinations. Most of them reached the seventh rank, which was considered the pinnacle of their careers.

However, don't underestimate the minor positions such as chief clerk and instructor.

If compared with modern positions, the chief clerk is equivalent to the secretary-general, who assists the county magistrate in his work.

The instructor is equivalent to the director of the county education bureau.

The Dianshi is even more powerful, the Director of the Public Security Bureau.

Compared with this, the ranks of these officials are not low.

"As for the yamen runners, order that County Magistrate Cao to draw up a list of recruiting officials and recruit them from the public..."

A clerk standing next to Han Lin recorded everything Zhong Ning said, and then returned to the county government office to make follow-up arrangements.

After Zhong Ning finished giving all these instructions, he immediately added, "I'll trouble you again. From among the remaining soldiers, send one hundred soldiers to escort the prisoner carriage back to the capital. I have already prepared the relevant evidence, and my secret guards will accompany the prisoner carriage."

"I obey your command!" Han Lin bowed and then retreated.

Of the remaining nine hundred soldiers, he assigned one hundred to escort the prison van, another hundred to guard around the inn, and the rest to camp outside the city, ready to be on standby at any time!

Since Princess Zhaohua wanted to employ people, she naturally had to leave him some useful people.

I finally have a chance to hook up with the prince and princess. Whether I can move forward depends on this time.

When Han Lin reported to Zhong Ning, the remaining county officials were waiting outside the door trembling with fear, awaiting instructions from Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Soon, after the follow-up report was completed, Han Lin led his men out of the inn. The county officials, led by County Magistrate Cao, bowed to him and then asked cautiously, "Excuse me, General, does Her Royal Highness the Princess have any instructions?"

Han Lin glanced at them indifferently and left without even looking at them. However, the clerk stayed behind to give instructions.

"Your Highness's intention is to temporarily let County Magistrate Cao take over the current county yamen work, and recruit yamen runners from the people in the name of the government."

"As for the vacant position, Her Royal Highness will report it to the Ministry of Personnel, and the court will send someone to take it over!"

The magistrate of Cao County was named Cao Keli.

As soon as he heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess had specifically designated him to take charge of the county government, he was immediately delighted. He had wanted that position for a long time. If he did a good job, Her Royal Highness the Princess might be satisfied and would definitely help him get promoted.

"Yes, I will definitely live up to the mission of Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Cao Keli was overjoyed and expressed his loyalty immediately.

"I wonder when we can go to meet the princess?" Cao Keli asked again.

The clerk gave him a puzzled look and then said, "First, organize the current documents and carry out the tasks as His Highness requires. When the time comes, His Highness will summon you!"

After saying that, he took his leave and left.

Cao Keli politely sent the man away, then took out the handkerchief hidden in his sleeve and carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Princess Zhaohua is truly a female yaksha. Wherever she goes, she will definitely cause a storm.

She had only been here for a few days when she had Magistrate Li and his entire family thrown into the Heavenly Prison, stripped them of their official status, and escorted them to the capital. The family's future was ruined, and they might even lose their lives.

And she didn't seem to have any intention of leaving. If that was the case, his follow-up work might still be difficult to carry out.

Forget it, let’s see what this little princess is going to do.
