Chapter three hundred and eighty second county government
"My son is not afraid. I heard that your Uncle Yu family has some relatives with Master Xing, so we can entrust him." But Mrs. Hu's mind flashed and she finally thought of a way to save Master Hu.
In her words, Mr. Hu’s "Uncle Yu" was Mr. Hu’s business partner, while Mr. Xing was the right-hand assistant of the county magistrate. In ancient times, as an official, he usually had a master, also known as Muyou, Mubin, Muke, etc., such as Li Yuanfang among Di Renjie and Gongsun Ce under Bao Zheng’s command, of course, this is still something that has not happened now, but the master can almost be said to be a standard configuration in the officialdom.
Master Hu finally calmed down after hearing this, then turned around and walked into the yard, saying, "Mom, you are waiting at home, I will prepare something now and go to Uncle Yu's house."
"Cough cough!" Suddenly, two coughs interrupted him, and Zhong Kui said, "Brother Hu, you don't have to do this. In Zhong's opinion, Ling Zun thought he was wronged, and there were Zhang Zhenren and others. If Ling Zun was the only one, you would be worried so much. But think about Zhang Zhenren's ability, with Zhang Zhenren here, what could Ling Zun do?"
"But"
"There is nothing wrong with it. If Brother Hu really wants to ask for someone, it's all right. But Brother Hu, please be willing to take the blame for your brother. How dare you ask your father and your Uncle Yu?"
"It's okay," Mr. Hu said uncertainly, and then explained the fact that his father and his "Uncle Yu" were business partners.
Zhong Kui sighed after hearing this, "Brother Hu, Brother Hu, think about it, there are such a crime of murder and the haunted death of ghosts and ghosts. It is not just one person or two. Unless your father has a life-long friendship with your Uncle Yu, how could he care? Moreover, even if your Uncle Yu can care, he needs to have a life-long friendship with Master Xing, otherwise Master Xing will not care. Moreover, Master Xing's words must be quite important in the heart of the county magistrate to save Lingzun's life. Otherwise, if there is any link missing in this, then Master Xing and the county magistrate are afraid that no matter how many people you ask, no matter how much money you spend or how much gift you give, it is useless."
"What should we do?" Mr. Hu panicked again: "Brother Zhong, you are knowledgeable and give me a solution. My father was arrested, and I can't just watch my father go and ignore it."
"My brother, don't worry." Zhong Kui pondered: "It's better to do this. You go to your Uncle Yu's house first to see if there is a way. If not, or you want your family to lose everything, you don't have to pay attention to him at least for the time being. You can also go to the yamen to see him invisibly. Maybe Zhenren Zhang has a way to get rid of their crimes or have other opportunities, which is not known."
"Okay! Then it's a blessing for Brother Zhong!" Mr. Hu was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly saluted Zhong Kui.
Zhong Kui reached out to help him up and explained a few more words, so that he could calm down and not panic or lose his inch. Then he paused, his figure immediately disappeared, and flew towards the county government.
Even though it is daytime now, his ability as a "ghost" is not limited by much.
At the same time, the county yamen, Zhang Xuanqing and others were pressed to the lobby.
The lobby of the county government office is very dilapidated, and even the walls in a certain place have begun to fall off. All the decorations in the hall are very "quaint".
This is almost a "hidden rule" in the ancient officialdom. Anyone who is an official, especially a county magistrate, will not repair the yamen. First, repairing the yamen does not require money? If the yamen is built into a magnificent state, the court will not think that he is corrupt and plundering the people's wealth and omission. It is easy to lose the robbery. Two, since ancient times, the county magistrate has been in every place for three years. After three years, he will have his own chance to be promoted or transferred to other places. If he repairs this, he will still have to hand it over to others in the end? It would be even worse. Being here for a lifetime means not being promoted for a lifetime. Do you think it is tragic or not?
Therefore, in ancient yamen, they were really more dilapidated than the other. Majestic? Maybe there would be, but that was also a psychological factor. This is Zhang Xuanqing's second time in the yamen. Anyway, he has a strong ability to bear it and is not afraid at all.
Also not afraid are Li Yuanba, Di Renjie and Luo Siyuan. Among the three, Li Yuanba was too stupid. He didn't know what it means to be afraid of Di Renjie, but he was too old. Luo Siyuan was confident in his "master" and could not be afraid. However, Di Renying and Master Hu were more worried and worried.
"Master, the suspect has been brought here. Can you go to the hall?" At this time, there was only a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties in the county hall. He sat on the side seat, which was Master Xing. He escorted Zhang Xuanqing and others into the lobby, and the leading officer asked Master Xing.
Master Xing was skinny, half of his head was white, and a twig of goatee. Hearing this, the old god said, "Well, you're back? You can wait here first, I'll ask the master." After that, he got up slowly and walked towards the inner hall.
After a while, Master Xing walked out with a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties. Compared to Master Xing, this person was a big belly and wearing an official robe. He was Cao Renbing, the eldest son of Qingshan County.
Cao Renbing has been well-read in poetry and books since he was a child. The only shame is that he cannot digest it well. He has been studying for more than 30 years. He was only able to get fame and honor at the age of 40. He was photographed as a county magistrate here. This year is his first year to become an official. He was full of confidence and planned to manage the land and land, and then be appreciated by the emperor. He did not ask for anything to be a marquis or a prime minister. As long as he could be an official in the capital, it would be that the smoke from the ancestral tomb would be emitted.
However, who would have thought that before he could show his strength, the county started to make trouble, and more than a dozen lives were killed. Cao Renbing's worried hair was almost white these days. You must know that life is a matter of no small matter. If he can solve these dozens of lives, he will be fine. If he can't solve it, he will not be able to protect his black hat when he is "summary of the year". How can he not be in a hurry?
Fortunately, God has eyes and his ancestors appear, which made him learn the identity of the real murderer in his dream last night.
Thinking of the dream last night, Cao Renbing couldn't help but tremble. When he saw everyone looking at him, he coughed twice, sat down and slapped the arbor, shouting loudly: "Go to the hall!"
"Majestic" As Cao Renbing shouted loudly, three yamen runners were placed on both sides, holding water and fire sticks, shouting for the hall. Master Hu, Di Renying was so scared that she was full of excitement and subconsciously knelt down. Di Renying did not forget to kneel down before kneeling. However, Luo Siyuan saw that Zhang Xuanqing and Li Yuanba did not move, and his eyes turned around, and he stood behind Zhang Xuanqing without moving.
"Bold!" To be continued.
