Master Zheng shook his head, looking very dazed.

This morning, he heard that there was someone coming from the Yushi Terrace, and he was about to be frightened, so he hurriedly came to the county government to inform Kaoru Yutai, but he didn't expect that the Lord Yushi came first.

It's going to die.

Supervising the imperial history generally does not run to the local area, especially in a place like Qinzhou, which can only be encountered once in several years. The last time Qinzhou recruited the imperial history, it was because the state pastor was reported for writing a small yellow book, and when he was escorted back to Beijing, it was very strange how he was discovered.

However, Ye Chi is such a delicate young man...... What did you do again?

The master touched his chin and thought about it.

Yutai Kaoru couldn't ask the reason from the master, and he couldn't wait for Ye Chi, so he had to turn back to the yamen, and Xu Zhihuan was still sitting in her seat at the moment and turning the pen, first with three fingers, and then began to turn on the back of his hand, causing the surrounding catchers to stare at him directly, and even forgot what this person was for.

He saw Kaoru Tantai walk in and asked, "Is Lord Ye here?"

"Not yet. She shook her head and said silently, "If you need to check anything, you can tell me directly." ”

Xu Zhihuan looked up at her expressionless face, although her face was expressionless, she was really good-looking, with a fair and delicate melon seed face, and a bright red suit, she looked slim, and she didn't look very old.

It's even younger than those female colleagues in the capital!

He pouted and said, "No need, I'm not interested in talking to the little girl." ”

"But you're not much older than me. ”

Xu Zhihuan was sullen for a while: "Can you manage it?!"

Kaoru was yelled at by him again, blinked calmly, walked to the side and sat down, slowly picked up a pen, and his slender fingers gently pinched the middle, and broke it in half with a "snap".

“……”

Xu Zhihuan swallowed his throat, looked at her in a daze with the catchers, and finally stood up silently and sat on another chair. At this time, Ye Chi arrived.

"It turned out to be Lord Xu, no wonder I didn't notify the lower officials before I came. ”

Ye Chi chuckled and walked into the hall, his long figure propped up the dark crimson official uniform, looking tall and handsome, even if he was no longer a Beijing official, such a humble and arrogant appearance still made the catchers feel that their faces were particularly bright, and even their waists were straightened.

"Master Ye is in trouble, how can I, a classmate, not care?" Xu Zhihuan also smiled back. His appearance can be called handsome, and he is about the same height as Ye Chi, but this arrogant appearance always makes Kaoru Tantai have the urge to punch him.

Ye Chi's classmates...... There are really all kinds of people.

The sky began to brighten, and there was a sudden sound of moving things outside, it turned out that Chang Su walked in with a large bookcase, which was probably the reason why Ye Chi was late today.

Yutai Kaoru got up and stood aside, and Wen Changsu whispered: "Because there is a son, Lord Xu has always been second in Taixue, and he has a nickname called 'Xu Erhuan', so their relationship is ......."

There was no need to say anything more, she could hear what it meant.

Ye Chi and Yutai Kaoru smiled and signaled that it was okay, and stretched out their hands to invite Xu Zhihuan to take a seat. Xu Zhihuan looked at his unfazed appearance, and always felt that this yamen had a kind of indescribable weirdness, and the scattered and terrifying adjutant of the state pastor was completely different from the Qinzhou he imagined, but he was a Beijing official, and he had never seen any storms, so he sat down with a puff of his robe and began to recite Ye Chi's "guilt".

"Lord Ye, the kiln license of a coal kiln in the Fan family expired three months ago, and besides, he was operating illegally. You know about it but you don't ban it, yes and no?"

Ye Chi replied briefly: "Yes." ”

Xu Zhihuan frowned silently: "His Royal Highness King Jin was assassinated when he came to Qinzhou, but fortunately, his personal guards drove away the assassin. The security of Qinzhou has reached this point, and Lord Ye has a lot of responsibility as the state pastor. ”

This time, Ye Chi didn't answer, turned around and opened the bookbox on the ground, took out a few contract-like things, and unfolded them one by one in front of Xu Zhihuan, "These are the documents that were expressly forbidden in the Fanjia coal kiln at that time, and there are some things that he reported later. The lower officials never allowed the Fanjia mining to reopen, but he did so without permission – something he had brought with him when he came to renew his kiln license. ”

He pulled out another letter, which looked like it was not long ago. Xu Zhihuan took it and saw that the letter was full of good words for the Fan family, but the payment was actually the name of King Jin.

Now Xu Zhihuan understands what is going on.

Commercial bribery is very common in the country, and there are many merchants who can hook up with the prince, and it is often enough to write a letter to the magistrate. King Jin's reputation in Beijing is not good, and most people think that he is a gentleman, and it is not uncommon for him to be involved with profiteers, but as the younger brother of the regent, ordinary people dare not say it even if they know it.

He almost forgot that Ye Chi was an exception.

"As for this, it is the confession of the man who assassinated the king of the brocade. Ye Chi unhurriedly took out another thing, not so much a confession as a picture, with half a pattern drawn, "This sign is not owned by the people of Qinzhou, and Xia Guan thinks that the adults should also know it." ”

Xu Zhihuan didn't reach out to pick it up, even if he didn't look carefully, he could tell that it was something from the capital, although only half of it was not easy to conclude, but from the outline, it looked like something from the Taifu faction that was opposed to the regent.

Ye Chi was giving him a problem. No matter which of these two things he pursues, he will provoke a large faction of people in the DPRK and China, and if he cares about both of them, he will be offended. Of course Ye Chi is not afraid, the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, he has been demoted to a magistrate, what is he afraid of, helpless is the Yushitai cadre.

It's so annoying.

"Since I've known each other for so many years, I don't want to go around the bush with adults. Xu Zhihuan squinted his eyes and said, "You know that I have never been afraid of the powerful, so I will not let it go, no matter what the result is, Lord Ye will bear a certain responsibility." ”

Ye Chi nodded in response: "This is nature. ”

Kaoru Tai watched quietly from the side, feeling that this superintendent was not an ordinary attachment to Ye Chi, and said to Ye Chi after the person left: "Didn't the assassin run away, where did he get his confession?"

"That's what I painted. ”

Kaoru Shodai: "......"

It wasn't the first time she had felt some abnormal practices from him, and she gradually got used to it, but she had some doubts: "But will Lord Xu believe it?"

Ye Chi smiled, "Although he looks arrogant, he is not stupid." ”

Yutai Kaoru came to his senses thoughtfully, and when he returned to the yamen, he saw that Xu Zhihuan had already summoned most of the people. Most of the so-called supervision of local officials are irregular, and of course, there are not a few people who receive reports like now, and the first thing to do is to call these subordinates over for unified questioning.

Xu Zhihuan first took the pen and paper to write down carefully, and then simply played with the pen, because the answers given by the master and others all praised Ye Chi to the sky.

The master wiped a handful of tears and said, "My lord...... There must be some misunderstanding here. Lord Ye has a good appearance and good character, he is a rare parent official in a hundred years, if you don't believe it, you can go outside and ask. ”

The crowd nodded in unison.

Xu Zhihuan frowned as he listened. As the son of the Shang Shujia, he has looks and brains, and his age when he entered Taixue was on the young side, but he never expected that there was someone younger than him, and he had an extraordinary memory, and he was the first in the return exam.

In fact, the ranking is nothing to him, what really makes his relationship with Ye Chi bad is because he is always called "Erhuan" by his female classmates, and he shouts for several years, which is unbearable.

Xu Zhihuan put away his pen, waved his hand to signal that those people could go, and looked at Kaoru Yutai, who had come in and sat aside to drink tea.

"What do you have to add to this case?"

Kaoru Yutai thought for a while, and said calmly: "The assassin's skills are good. ”

"What about Lord Ye?"

She thought about it again, "Ye Chi is fine. ”

She spoke every word decisively and seriously, but there was nothing particularly useful about it. Xu Zhihuan sighed silently, feeling that this group of people was really hopeless, and while collecting paper and pen, he read casually: "Most of the officials in Beijing are like this, and their methods are not as innocent and clean as you think. Ye Chi can be in the first grade, and on the surface, he looks noble, and he may not be able to ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the table in front of him slammed violently, causing everyone around him to tremble. When I looked up, I saw Kaoru Yutai standing up at some point, with his hands on the table, staring straight at him: "Ye Chi is not like what you said. ”

She doesn't make any unusual moves, but she looks very threatening. Xu Zhihuan was once again sure that she was not careless when she broke the pen last time, rubbed her eyebrows and said, "I just told you the truth." ”

"But he's my man. ”

There was a sudden silence around them, and even the catchers who were about to go out stopped and looked back. Xu Zhihuan looked at her in a daze, and before he could react to what this sentence meant, he caught a glimpse of Ye Chi over there who happened to walk in, and he was also standing still.

Xu Zhihuan turned his head to look and found that this person was blushing;

Ye Chi just came back just to get something, in order not to put pressure on his subordinates, he shouldn't have been there, who knew that as soon as he entered the door, he heard Kaoru Tantai say such a sentence, and it was a shame that he was still very excited in his heart.

Xu Zhihuan pressed his temples twice, frowned and said, "That's it, you all go out, this official has something to say to Lord Ye." ”

The catchers reluctantly left when they heard the sound, and Kaoru Tai followed out after some hesitation, staring at Xu Zhihuan before leaving.

Xu Zhihuan naturally noticed this look, although this little girl didn't talk much, her behavior was always very direct, he inexplicably read the meaning of "people who are not allowed to touch me" from her gaze, and unconsciously felt a little pity for Ye Chi.

"Why I came, I think you should have guessed too. He quietly took out a letter from the pile of ordinary papers, "Although my main purpose is the affairs of the Imperial Historical Tower, the secret letter handed over to you by His Majesty must be given to you first--you should return to Beijing." ”

Ye Chi solemnly accepted the letter, he really didn't expect it to come so quickly. He had decided to leave after Kaoru's birthday, and it seemed that something important had happened.

Xu Zhihuan noticed that he squeezed the hand of the letter, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your original official seal should have been received?" It just so happened that the state pastor of Linzhou made a small mistake and will soon take your place. ”

Ye Chi said confusedly: "Who will take over the state pastor of Linzhou?"

Xu Zhihuan didn't answer, raised his hand and pointed outside. Ye Chi immediately understood, smiled with satisfaction, but heard him and said, "I really want to ask, are you - are you in trouble?"
