Xiao Wu is the head of the pavilion in Qingyunli, Yuzhang County. He learned the legal provisions from Li Shun, a retired old official in Tongli, as his teacher since he was a child.Three years later, the level is very high.Li Shun also admired him very much, and wanted to use his old face to recommend him to be a small official in the county court, such as prison history, order history and so on.Unfortunately, all positions are full.Because of Li Shun's face, the county magistrate Wang De couldn't help praising Xiao Wu's talent, so he asked Xiao Wu to be the pavilion chief in Qingyunli.

In the eyes of those with courage, the official position of pavilion chief is a good job. His duty is to monitor the illegal activities in the whole Qingyunli, and occasionally welcome and send the passing postal officials and guards. , levy taxes and the like.The emperor Gao of this dynasty started from the head of the pavilion, passed on to the heroes, gradually grew stronger, and finally won the world.To be the head of a pavilion needs to patrol Luyan every day. If a strong man is found wandering around and not engaged in production, he must be strictly interrogated, and he can even be arrested immediately.Xiao Wu also has two positions called "Qiu Thief" and "Tingfu" deputy.As the name suggests, "seeking robbers" is to assist Xiaowu in arresting people; as for "Tingfu", it is generally used to order and do miscellaneous work.Capturing people is not an easy job, you have to be strong, otherwise the other party will not take you seriously, and of course they will draw their swords to fight back.

Xiao Wu is a cowardly person, and he himself is delicate, and the unscrupulous teenagers in the village openly despise him, so the law and order in Qingyun has never been good.The county magistrate was very dissatisfied with Xiao Wu, and Li Shun was also very worried. Of course, he didn't think he had misjudged the person. He knew that Xiao Wu's specialty was not chasing thieves.But Wang De doesn't care about these things. One day he will send someone to call Li Shun to announce that Xiao Wu will be deprived of his position.Once he was exempted, it meant that Xiao Wu lost his meager salary and had to farm the fields like everyone else.Xiao Wu also has a clear understanding of this, he is very anxious, but there is nothing he can do.Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road, and there is an opportunity to investigate him.

It turned out that a murder case occurred in Yuzhang County at this time.The victim was a woman with a very low status, a concubine of Wei's mansion in the city.Moreover, she herself was only injured, and did not lose her life.However, this case happened near the county court, and the county magistrate was furious. If this blatant murder case near the county court could not be solved as soon as possible and spread to the county magistrate, he would be "negative" in his performance appraisal this year and would be severely punished.He immediately ordered and organized a team to solve the case, with a total of four experienced prison guards, who searched day and night.But the criminal was very cunning, and no evidence was left at the scene except for a bond.The old officials braved the scorching heat and worked hard for dozens of days, but got nothing.However, the Wei family is a big family in the local area, and they sent people to the county court many times to press for the results, claiming that if there is no more news, they will sue the county government and even Chang'an Tingwei's mansion with documents.The county magistrate was sweating from fright. He remembered Li Shun, the county official who handled the case, and urgently recruited him to discuss countermeasures.After the two were courteous, Wang De begged Li Shun to come out and help him.Li Shun said embarrassingly, in front of Duke Ming, the minister did not tell lies, and he was not as good as ordinary people when he was in his prime, let alone now that he is getting old and weak, he may be helpless.If Duke Ming does not give up, I can recommend a person, I believe he will live up to Duke Ming's expectations.The county magistrate said anxiously, who?If you can help me solve this case, and the county's performance evaluation is not behind, what else can I not repay?Li Shundao, Shen Wu, chief of Qingyun Pavilion.he?The county magistrate looked down. Are you kidding me, sir?He can't even do a rough job like the head of the pavilion, how can he be competent for such a meticulous job as solving a case?

Li Shun sighed, Minggong was so smart all his life, he was confused for a while, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.Does Mr. Ming know?Chen Ping, the founding hero of my great Han Dynasty, did not repair his name festival, but made a wonderful plan for Emperor Gaozu to rule the world.Just like Han Xin, the marquis of Huaiyin, who had no strength to restrain a chicken, if he was appointed as the head of the pavilion, he would be weak and incompetent.However, he sealed the altar to worship the general and gave orders to the three armies, but he was able to gallop across the battlefield, behead the general and hold the flag, and make indelible feats.This student, Chen Wu, is meticulous in thinking and proficient in grammar, so he should not be underestimated!The county magistrate said in surprise, don't mention the traitor Han Xin - if Shen Wu is really as the gentleman said, I can try it.But time is tight, I can only give him half a month, if he succeeds, he will definitely ask the county government for a reward.If not, I can't keep his position as pavilion chief.The thieves in Qingyunli are now on the go, which is really embarrassing to me.

Xiao Wu received a document from the county court, temporarily calling him to be the thief Cao Lingshi, to investigate the plagiarism case of the Weifu, and he couldn't help being overjoyed.He hurried to the county court to take office, and immediately ordered the victim, that is, the concubine named Wei Zhu, to be summoned.This woman was of medium build, with a fair face, and she was clearly a high-class servant raised by a rich clan, who did not participate in heavy physical labor.If it is a slave who does rough work, it is far from such a smooth face.No wonder her master was so angry and anxious about her assassination that he even dared to say such threatening words to the county magistrate.Of course, this is also because the imperial court was slightly lenient in its administration. If one goes back to the Qin Dynasty a hundred years ago, the power of officials was overwhelming, and the power of a county magistrate was enough to destroy a family. Who would dare to be so arrogant.

This is really an opportunity God gave me!Xiao Wu sat in the hall, as if he was dreaming.He came back to his senses and asked solemnly, your name is Wei Zhu?How did you go to Qiting Market on the day of the incident? Wei Zhu glanced at Xiao Wu, and returned to my lord, the master sent the maidservant to go shopping, how could the maidservant not go? Xiaobudao, um, but I checked, the market was closed that day.Before the county government issued a notice that because of the plague of locusts in the outskirts of the county, all the strong heads of Guizhou in the county were confiscated to go to the fields to catch and kill the locusts, and even the market could not be opened. Don't you know this?

That's what the adults said.Wei Zhu was confident, but the servant girl really didn't know about it at the time, it was only when he arrived at the market that he found that the gate of the flag pavilion was closed and there was no one on the road.The maid had no choice but to come back with 1200 coins. Oh, Xiao Wu nodded, what was the scene where you were attacked?Rephrase it. Wei Zhu's face was pale, as if he had been greatly frightened, his body trembled, and he returned to his lord, the servant girl dared not recall what happened that day, it was really terrible.It was raining that day, and I was walking in the alley to the left of the county court. The road was difficult and muddy.I held the umbrella again in my left hand and the 1,200 copper coins in my right hand, making it even more difficult.After walking less than half of the alley, I suddenly felt a huge force on my back, which made me fall forward quickly. I fell into the mud and lost consciousness.It took a while to wake up, and found that the money rope tightly wrapped around his arm was gone.I howled and cried, that is not a small sum.How can I afford compensation as a slave?I was crying and screaming loudly when the door next to the alley opened and a little girl came out.As soon as she saw me, she immediately covered her face with her hands, showing a terrified expression, and immediately screamed.At first, I thought maybe it was the way I frightened her with my muddy and bloody face.But then I saw her stretch out a hand, pointing at my back, and uttered two words indistinctly: "Put a knife... stick a knife...", I was even more frightened, because it was only at this time that I felt myself There was severe pain in my back, and I touched it with my backhand, and felt a knife handle, which was stuck in my right shoulder.I thought I was really going to die this time. I held the handle of the knife and dared not pull it out. I guess if I pulled it out, I would die and the blood would not stop.Then came people, including a doctor, who helped me pull out the knife and covered the wound with medicine.The knife was about nine inches long, luckily it wasn't inserted very deep, it was only halfway in, otherwise I wouldn't be able to reply to the adults here.The scene that day was really scary, and the servant girl still has lingering fears.

Wei Wei wept slightly while talking.But her eloquence is obviously good, and her sentences are complete and coherent, without any hindrance.Xiao Wu admired secretly: No wonder the master loves her so much.In other words, I would also feel pity for it.But he suddenly thought of a question, and said, you said that your back was pushed by a lot of force, so it must be a man.It's just that the alley was so quiet at that time, and the ground was muddy and hard to walk. How could a man follow you halfway down the alley without making a sound? Why didn't you notice it at all? Wei Zhu was stunned, it was raining heavily that day, I was holding an oilcloth umbrella, and the raindrops hit it, making a pattering sound.Probably the sound affected my hearing, and I didn't even recognize the footsteps behind me.Besides, although it was early morning that day, the sky was gloomy, and I was a little flustered. I just hurried on my way and didn't pay much attention to other things.

Did you meet no one in the street market before then?Little Budo. Wei Zhu said, yes, I saw a few old women, but they didn't know each other. Oh, like this.So there is no acquaintance who can prove your whereabouts.Xiao Wu pondered for a moment, have you ever doubted who could plot against you like this? Wei Zhu raised his head, with tears shining, he looked at this frail and delicate official in confusion. Xiao Wu reminded her, are there any people you don’t get along with on weekdays, such as other maids who have had grievances, quarrels or even fights with you, or acquaintances in the same neighborhood who have given you property guarantees, or even your former brothers Whether you are particularly poor or not depends on your current special status and wants to seize the property you have handled.If you think about it carefully, is there such a possibility?

No.The servant girl is always cautious, never competes with her master, and gets along well with her peers and sisters.He has never borrowed money from others, shopped on credit, and has never had any dealings with Yongbao.My brothers are also faithful and trustworthy, and I don't see any attempt in them to rob me of my money. Xiao Wu was faintly angry, and all the aspects I had considered were swept away so lightly.And almost without thinking, it is too rash.However, she said it without hindrance, and I can't blame it, so I can only think of other ways. In desperation, Xiao Wu tapped nervously on the table with his fingers, making a dull popping sound.His legs, too, were bouncing up and down regularly with impatience.He is in a very distressed mood at the moment. If the case is not solved, he will be ashamed.Teacher Li Shun praised him like that in front of the county magistrate, almost betting on his reputation for a lifetime.But as the teacher's most proud student, he failed the teacher's expectations at the most important moment.Not to mention that there will be no chance to handle the case in the future, this humiliation alone is enough to make him reluctant to live. Nervously, he grabbed the murder weapon on the case. It was a small knife about nine inches long with a slightly protruding central ridge. There was an iron ring on the handle, and there was a protrusion on it, which was caused by uneven casting.He stared at the knife boredly for a long time, his mind was in a mess, his eyes drifted away and fixed on the bamboo coupon next to the knife.The bamboo coupons are about a foot long and are covered with jagged teeth, which are a bit like the vouchers used for buying and selling goods in the market.So his heart brightened, and he asked, is this bamboo coupon yours? Back to my lord, it's not mine.When I woke up from a faint, it was beside me, probably left behind by the murderer.Wei Zhu's tears disappeared at this time, her words were very firm, without the usual crying. Well, let's stop here today.Xiao Wu turned his head and gave an order to the clerk and Shuxu standing beside him. You go to the market separately and ask the merchant what the bamboo coupon is for, which industry it is for, and how much is it worth?Come back and report to me. Locust plagues are commonplace in counties and counties in the south of the Yangtze River.Not long ago, it was the same this time. The Xu Li of the county government had already gone to various townships to make an announcement, ordering all the strong and powerful Qian chiefs in the county to go to the suburbs to hunt and kill locusts.If the plague of locusts is too severe, not only will Yuzhang County not have to pay taxes and grain, but it will have to rely on the imperial court to transport grain for relief, and the county magistrate's performance appraisal this year will definitely be at the bottom of the 18 counties in the county.Therefore, even a powerful and cunning family like Weifu must send all the strong men and servants to help exterminate the locusts.The documents have already been sent to his mansion, how could they not know?But Wei Zhu went to the market with more than 1,200 yuan that day, which is really incomprehensible.Xiao Wu looked at the careless subordinates under the oil lamp, and said irritably, is that bamboo coupon really useless?Have you asked all the merchants in the market? The subordinate officials didn't take him seriously at first, but because of the county magistrate's explanation at first, they had no choice but to appear respectful.We did ask all the merchants.One of the subordinate officials said that they only said that this bamboo coupon seemed to be used in the trade of silk and silk. The bamboo coupon has eleven teeth. According to the rules of the trade of silk and silk, each tooth is equivalent to one hundred and eighty qian. Then the value of this bamboo coupon is equivalent to 1,980 yuan.This thief really lost a lot. What to lose is actually a big problem.Xiao Wu sighed, this is clearly a cover, trying to deceive us.Just imagine that the thief could stun the victim with a single push, making it impossible for him to call for help. One can imagine how strong, brutal and bold he is.At that time, all the men in the county went to the outskirts to catch locusts, and the whole county was like an empty city.The thief could do it in a leisurely manner, and he would never be so flustered that he dropped the bamboo coupons that could be exchanged for large amounts of coins.Besides, how can a person with a lot of money become a thief?The criminal law of my big Han is stricter than that of the dead Qin Dynasty, but not worse.Looted more than 1,100 yuan, and cut off the right toe as Chengdan.Forever wasted.Why take the risk if you're not desperate?The only possibility is that this bamboo coupon is forged, and the thieves left it at the scene in order to deliberately lure us into being fooled, so that we can use our efforts to track down those merchants who sell silk.And you did not find the contract for this bamboo coupon.Then it is obvious that this bamboo coupon has no left coupon at all, that is to say, there is no other half of the coupon that matches its teeth and can be exchanged for cash.We are all busy in vain, and we can only think of other ideas. How could there be any other way of thinking.The subordinate worker smiled, besides the ordinary knife that everyone might have, the only clue left at the scene was this bamboo coupon, what else could he do?Only start here. Tell me exactly what you mean?Xiao Wu looked at the arrogant subordinate in front of him with a smile.He knew that his status was embarrassing, and these people ignored him at all.But you will know how powerful I am, Xiao Wu said bitterly in his heart, do you think I'm really so weak and useless? The subordinate official said loudly, immediately arrest all suspicious young knight-errants, merchants, ministers, big men who have no business, people from other counties who stay in the county without temporary residence documents, and children of rich families who have always been cunning, and severely torture them. If you plunder, you will surely gain something. Dahan's law allows us to do this.Xiao Wu wanted to hum, but he didn't dare.For the sake of the future, you have to be patient.However, he paused and continued, but how many people should be arrested in this way?The prisons in this county can't accommodate them.Besides, for a plagiarism case that is not new, such a big fanfare will not have a good impact after all, and the prince will definitely not agree.I think it's better not to make it public, but to interrogate them one by one in private. The county magistrate Wang De is so anxious about the case these days that he doesn't think about eating or drinking.This year is the year of the big assessment. At the end of the year, three years of governance achievements will be reported to the prefect's mansion, which is undoubtedly more important than the previous small assessment every year.The owner of the Wei Mansion is named Wei Yishou, and he has never taken him seriously as a small county magistrate. Many plagiarism cases in the past may be related to their family.The Wei family is not a local family. They moved from Puyang to Yuzhang at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and they are the survivors of the Duke of Wei.This kind of family with the aristocratic background of the six countries has always been a headache for local officials.Emperor Gao once specially issued an edict that all the descendants of the surviving clans of the vassal states will not only be exempted from rent and tax, but also be greatly exempted from punishment for crimes. From this, they are proud of their favor and often despise official documents.Going out, riding a horse and driving a chariot, stretching the bow and holding the arrow, frightening the people.He also recruited desperate bandits from other counties and buried them as traitors.If it is not necessary, Wang De usually does not want to mess with them, so this time he can only arrange officials, hoping to solve the case in time and satisfy them.But it was really unexpected for Xiao Wu to arrest people in such a big way.Didn't this Zhu Zi know that he only wanted to secretly investigate the murderer and close the case as soon as possible? Master Ming has learned a great lesson.Xiao Wu fell to the ground to check the head, but the minister also reported to Minggong that the arrest was an unauthorized action of Minggong's subordinates, and the minister's qualifications were low and it was difficult to stop it. There is no reason for this.Wang De shot the case angrily. Before that, he was afraid that his subordinates would despise Xiao Wu and make his own decisions.Although he didn't think highly of Xiao Wu, but judging from Xiao Wu's previous analysis of the case clues for him, he had to admit that this Xiao Zhuzi's mind was quite clear, stronger than the average subordinate.He had warned his subordinates many times to obey Xiaowu's orders, but he never expected that they would be so bold as to arrest people who at least seem to have nothing to do with this case, such as young knight-errants, merchants, ministers, and people who have nothing to do with the industry. The big man, and the cunning children of the rich family, this is not called solving the case, it is clearly nonsense, and it will definitely become a laughing stock if it is passed on to the prefect's mansion, and the condemnation document will be sent to the county immediately, and these subordinates will be recruited to the mansion to question their mistakes.They are also specially trained county officials. Diagnosing cases is their basic skill. How can they not ask indiscriminately and only know how to plunder?What is even more infuriating is that without the consent of the county magistrate, they encouraged the county lieutenant, conscripted a hundred strong crossbows, surrounded several rich mansions, and arrested a large number of rich diners who fled from other places.Isn't this an open confrontation with the big clan?How can this work?Even a big official with two thousand stones like the prefect would not do this without Chang'an's instruction.These brainless guys just want to cause trouble for him. Immediately register all captured people, write down their livelihood and food sources, and release them.Wang De sighed, and smiled wryly at Xiao Wu, don't worry, this kind of thing will never happen again.Things are so passive, it is the responsibility of those idiots. Seeing Wang De's anger, Xiao Wu wanted to laugh, which was exactly what he was looking forward to.Originally, he could completely stop the tactics of those idiots, at least he could report it in time and let the county magistrate stop it.But since this happens to be an opportunity to hit them, why not take advantage of it?So he was silent.He knew how it would turn out. But at this time, he still pretended to be considerate, and persuaded Minggong not to be impatient. Although they act recklessly, they are not without benefits. The roster is still useful for governing the county in the future.Although the big clans were very dissatisfied, they would not dare to openly resist and betray the imperial court.Our actions are indeed a bit excessive, but they are basically within the scope of Dahan's laws and regulations.Duke Ming need not worry, I will do my best to find out the truth as soon as possible. At dusk, Xiao Wu returned to his home in Qingyunli. There were many bamboo forests in the back hills of his village, which were green and tall.Xiao Wu saw his younger brother go to Qizheng to cut bamboo with sweat, and cut the round bamboo into thin bamboo strips, very hard.What are you doing?Xiao Wu couldn't help asking.Going to face him with his buttocks, bent over and busy, as if he was deaf.Seeing his arrogance, Xiao Wu said angrily, you should also do something serious. During the busy farming season, the rice should be evenly removed from the barnyard grass, irrigation and insect catching are all things for us strong people, and parents can't do it Serve you?What's more, my big man has laws and regulations. Those who are not filial to their parents will be tattooed as Cheng Dan, and those who are serious can even be executed.Even if he does not die, he will be ridiculed if he is released after six years in prison. How can he face the elders in the village?Unfilial people and gods are angry together, and it is also a shame for the clan.Although my Shen family is not going well for a while, it is finally a family with a history. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, it has served the King of Chu, and the position of the above-mentioned doctor has lasted for hundreds of years.For the sake of your ancestors, you should also change your mind and stop wandering around the countryside just knowing about cockfighting and lackeys every day. It's okay.Qu Yi waved his hand impatiently, don't come here, talk about a big man, but shut up about the clan, with a coward like you, what qualifications do you have to teach me.Could it be that if you are so cautious every day, being that little pavilion chief will add honor to your ancestors?You know how people make fun of you behind your back?Yes, there is no need to tease behind your back at all, which ranger in this county takes you seriously?Even in Qingyunli, a territory as big as a fingernail, who would be afraid of you, the little pavilion chief?Speaking of door style, that's really embarrassing.It is not yet known who will honor the ancestors. Fuck you, Xiao Wu was furious, and cursed bitterly.He is very cautious outside on weekdays and never speaks vulgar words.But in the face of the contempt of his brother, he couldn't help being furious.Who do you think you are?Xiao Wu said angrily, this time the county government sent officials to hunt down all the prodigal sons who have nothing to do with property. Government plagiarism case, you are now locked up in a big prison to accept robbery.Know what they do with a libertine like you?My Emperor Taizong Wen abandoned corporal punishment and switched to flogging.But do you know how many people are flogged to death every year in prison?Our family can't pay you a ransom at all. You can only be released after fifty lashes, regardless of whether you committed a crime or not.This search was massive. Although the prince had ordered the release of all the suspects, in the three days before the order was released, no fewer than ten people had been tortured to death.If you are arrested this time, it will be the same fate.How dare you call me a wimp when you have lived so long? Qu Yi's face was flushed, and it took him a long time to throw out a sentence, a man will die when he dies, why should he be cautious and live a humble life like you.I don't care about your gift, I might save your life when I save it.Now that the world is in turmoil and turmoil, it is hard to say who is the hero. Xiao Wu was extremely angry, and really wanted to rush up and slap this rebellious younger brother, but when he heard what he said later, his expression changed drastically, as if he had a premonition of something. Xiao Wu knew that his younger brother had always been dissatisfied with him. As the head of the pavilion, he had almost no grades, but a lot of family wealth wasted.A few years ago, there were tens of acres of Susukida at home, but it has gradually decreased in the past two years.According to the regulations of the Chang'an court, if you want to start an official career, starting from a low-level official, you must first calculate your family property and reach a certain amount before you can be appointed.And every year near the end of the year, the amount of property must be reported once.If the family property is so small that it does not meet the regulations, you should resign automatically, and you don't have to wait for the county government to issue a document to terminate it.This is a means for the imperial court to prevent corruption. Because there is a certain amount of family property, being an official must not focus on looting, but only take honor as the first goal.It's a pity to say that Xiao Wu's count last year was close to the bottom line of being an official, and it would be difficult to stay in office if it wasn't for the face of Li Shun, a village elder.Parents have also proposed several times to ask Xiao Wu to give up his position as the head of the pavilion and go home to work hard.But Xiao Wu was poisoned by Li Shun and insisted on not listening.If it wasn't because his family really couldn't afford more money, he might have gone north to Chang'an and entered the palace to serve the emperor as a doctor.How terrible that is, how many wealthy families, because of the dream of being close to the emperor and one day being able to flourish, end up with nothing, and sneak back to their hometowns with their hats and faces covered. The father is a loyal old man with a dark complexion and thick fingers, a picture of years of hard work. Seeing the dispute between the two sons, he was silent at first, but at the end he couldn't help it when he was eating, and sighed at Xiao Wu Dao, you child, you have to think about your brother, not for us two old people.Now that we are still alive, it is not easy for you brothers to separate.If this amount of land property is reduced day after day, how will we live by then?He patted the chopsticks in his hand lightly, showing a lack of appetite. Mother also put down her chopsticks worriedly and remained silent.She is the kind of person who never takes the initiative to express her opinions, perhaps because of her low self-esteem.A woman who has worked all her life and cannot read, believes that the man is the head of the family.She only had trust and love for her son. Although from her husband's mouth, she faintly felt that something was wrong with her son, but she was not sure.Although there are no obvious benefits to being a petty official, it is not without gain. Whenever she is with the women in the village, she can still feel that they have a hidden respect for her. After all, being a petty official has the possibility of promotion , and once promoted, it is possible to dominate the fate of everyone in this village, this township, or even this county.From the bottom of her heart, she vaguely supports her son. How much she hopes to be respected as "Mrs. Tai" by the whole town like a woman whose son is an official in other places.This kind of appellation was originally used exclusively by the wife of a public official, but the folks have long downgraded it and used it to refer to the parents of two hundred stone officials.What an honor that sounds, what a death without hate! Sir, don't be impatient, seeing his parents unhappy, Xiao Wu left the table in panic, but he still argued that Emperor Wen's courtier, Zhang Shizhi, was from a wealthy family in Nanyang, his parents died early, and he only lived with his elder brother.His elder brother sponsored him to go to Beijing to serve Emperor Wen as Qilang.But ten years later, there is no chance of promotion.He also sighed at that time: "I have been in Chang'an for a long time, and I have exhausted my brother's family property by being this unsalty official. Why don't you go home and farm." So he wrote a resignation document and planned to abandon his official position and return to his hometown.However, General Yuan Ang of Zhonglang appreciated his talent very much, and hurriedly asked the emperor to keep him.Emperor Wen invited him to meet and asked him about the country's plans, and he was very satisfied.Later he has been Tingwei Jiuqing.So, who can predict the changes in this world?If Zhang Gong has no chance to go to Chang'an, his talent will be buried forever.I have read many books since I was a child, and it may not be worse than that one, it's just that I don't have a good opportunity to display it.The minister's teacher, Li Gong, once brought him to meet a fortune teller, and within three years, the minister had the hope of making a fortune.Why are adults so impatient and can't bear it for a while.I'm afraid that in three years' time, the inner gate of Qingyunli will have to be rebuilt and heightened to accommodate the minister's angry Ma Xuan chariot. Hearing what Xiao Wu said, the mother's face opened first. This honest woman was very happy to hear her son quote the scriptures, although she hardly understood.She only knew that her son knew a lot of words and was promising.She knew the prison history of the county court, and the most basic requirement was literacy.Others are diligent in farming, but they may not be qualified to be officials.She said, Wu'er, you are right, your father is just worried that you will not have the luck of others, and your whole life will be wasted in vain.Our family is so poor, you can't even afford a wife, alas! It's all about being a son's unfilial, little martial arts, which made my mother so worried.But why does a man have no wife? Maybe his son will marry the daughter of a prince and duke in the future, which will shake the whole county. Don't be fancy.The father said disdainfully, you are a little pavilion chief, you say you marry the daughter of a public official, if an official with two hundred shi is willing to marry his daughter to you, I think it is a blessing from the ancestors. ...Okay, don't argue with me, your brother's appearance really worries me. I don't like the friends he makes, but I can't be partial.well! Xiao Wu doesn't like his father very much, especially his tone of mocking himself.And sometimes when I see my father plowing in the open, I feel moved and guilty. All the accusations against myself disappear. After all, it is not easy for my father.Forget it, ignore these.Thinking of what happened just now, Xiao Wu felt hot flashes on his face again. He held back his breath and said in a serious low voice, please don't mention this scorpion again—your lord may not know that the situation in Guangling area is unstable recently, and Yuzhang County I am afraid that the military strategists will be in serious trouble.Several wealthy families in this county are also ready to move, and the prefect Chen Buhai has secretly issued Chang'an documents, asking the county magistrates, Cheng and lieutenant to pay close attention to the local situation.Just now this Zhuzi's words were flickering, I'm afraid there is something treacherous in his heart.I also know that the Wei Mansion has always recruited rangers and robbers.But the captain is stationed in this county, so they probably won't be able to make any big waves.It's just that if the matter is really related to going to bed, we can't escape the responsibility.The court decree made it clear: "If you know an adulterer, don't accuse your accomplices, you should abandon the market." Unless we catch the perpetrator and turn himself in, we can be exempted.Hmph, I'm really in a mess right now. The mother said anxiously, you must persuade him not to associate with bad people.He didn't like learning to read and write since he was a child, but he is your younger brother after all. Alas, Xiao Wu sighed, mother, don't worry, I will figure it out. The date set by county magistrate Wang De for solving the case is approaching, and Xiao Wu is still at a loss.He has been visiting the market privately for the past few days without any clue.However, any case will leave clues, no matter how perfect the case is, there will be.It is reasonable to speculate that the crime happened on the day when the heads of the county went to the suburbs to catch locusts. It is impossible for the thieves from other counties to commit the crime. The most likely thing is the unemployed men in this county.It's just that the warders captured so many wanderers before, but they didn't find out any news, so they had to let them go in the end.What's next? Maybe I can search for people who are usually poor but these days are spending extravagantly.Xiao Wu thought, as far as the purpose of general thieves and robbers is to enjoy something for nothing, how can they hide money and not spend it?Facing the scribes beside him, he quickly wrote out a notice, and went down to the townships, kiosks, and villages, asking them to report the man who had been eating extravagantly in the past few decades.Use the brief book to record their names and appearances, as well as their recent entry and exit from counties and counties, and report them to the jailer Cao.quick. The clerk glanced lazily at Xiao Wu, hummed, and looked so indifferent.Xiao Wu's heart was stabbed again, he could see the impatience of the scribes, but he couldn't say anything, he could only force a smile, coaxing them to do things as much as possible.And he knows that he is not very friendly, and his inferiority complex and resentment make him always circle in contradictions.He flatteringly told the clerk, if this case is solved, this county will definitely become the best in the county in exams this year, not only the prince can be promoted, but we will not be this little official forever.In this dynasty, there are many Sangongs and Jiuqings who were promoted from small officials, it is hard to protect us... Alright, alright, Mr. Shen, it is better to save some good dreams on the bed.The clerk finally raised his head from the brief book, stood up and walked out, with a slightly sneering look on his cold face, he said, "There are less than five days before the prince's deadline, and Shen Jun can go back to be the pavilion chief again." Already, after leaving Tingbu for so many days, maybe I will miss you very much?How many of them were moved by the pavilion chief to the three men? Xiao Wu was furious, he stared at the clerk's back, and punched hard on the desk, his body trembling uncontrollably because of his anger.God!What other real discovery, he thought sadly?Do you want me to end up as the pavilion chief?Could it be that the literary law I studied so hard is so worthless?He stared blankly at the door, the morning sun slanted in, and shone on the mottled brick floor in front of Mr. Cao's house in Judgment Prison, where faint dark blood stains were faintly visible, which made the sun not only bring no warmth, but instead bring out some gloom.He walked out and saw his own shadow projected on the grass in the yard, the two horns of Hui Wenguan behind the pillar on his head were particularly clear, and he felt like a farm ox.The cow is a hard-working animal, he said in his heart, hold back all the anger, these villains, it will not be too late to take revenge later.He was thinking angrily, and couldn't help but hold the hilt of the sword at his waist with his right hand, making a movement of buckling the sword, and suddenly a gleam of light flashed in his mind.
