Chapter 34 State and County Inspections (1)

Back at the mansion, Su Yunkai tried Yang Fugui's case overnight, and only dispersed when it was time. Mingyue went to the morgue to remove the twine on the bones of Yang Baijia's corpse, put it in the altar, and prepared to hand it over to the people of Yangjia Village tomorrow, so that they could erect a monument for him.

It's almost midnight. When she returned from picking up the bones, she was surprised that she was not frightened in her heart, but her heart was heavy because of this matter. It's no wonder that grandpa said that when a case is over, then you must quickly forget about it, otherwise the more you think about it, the more unhappy people will be.

She let out a long sigh, almost through the night. returned to the inner office and walked to his room, but saw someone standing on the other side of the corridor, looking at the night with his hands down, and recognized it as Su Yunkai at a glance. He was still wearing the official uniform he had just been promoted, and he hadn't changed it, that is, he hadn't washed up yet, and he hadn't even returned to his room. She stepped forward quickly, and the sound of footsteps called Su Yunkai back from her contemplation, turned her head to look, and saw that it was Mingyue, and her face softened, "Go back to the room?" ”

"Hmm." Mingyue arrived and glanced at him, "Why don't you go back to bathe and go to bed, it will be dawn in a while." ”

Su Yunkai said, "I can't sleep." ”

After running around for so many days, I occasionally get sleepy, but now that the case is settled, I don't feel sleepy. Mingyue understood his thoughts, just like herself, so heavy that it was difficult to put down for a while.

Although Yang Fugui is hateful and can be the fuse, he is still an official who did not act back then and drove the people into a desperate situation. If there is such a thing in the Daimyo's Mansion, then there are also other places. He can't wait to kill all the corrupt officials in the world, and he can't wait to wash this turbid world with clear spring water.

"I don't know if there are any, but as long as there are a few more good officials like you, there will definitely be no more."

Su Yunkai said silently, "I don't know if there is one, but during my tenure, I will never let this kind of thing happen again." I can't purge the Great Song Dynasty, but in the places under my jurisdiction, I can't live up to it in this life. ”

Mingyue smiled, "I knew you would do it." She always felt that he was much more open-minded now, and he would not always tighten his brow as before. Even if he seems to have little strength in the court, he will not feel sorry for himself, but will be more motivated to go up and forward.

This kind of Su Yunkai is more and more like the Su Yunkai she knew when she was a child. I feel that I can keep the clouds open and see the moon in everything, and my eyes will not be full of clouds.

The two stood under the porch and talked for a while, and felt even more sleepy. In the past few days, the two have not spoken properly, and there is no one next to them, so they have been talking for a long time.

It wasn't until the husband outside the wall reported the time that he realized that it was past the ugly hour. Su Yunkai said, "Go back to sleep." ”

Mingyue answered, because the room was in the opposite direction to him, and when he reached the corner, he went there. Su Yunkai stood there until he saw her enter the room and close the door, then he went back to his room.

The evening breeze in March was still a little cold, and when the rooster crowed, Bai Shui, who led the official to finish the affairs of Yangjia Village, came back, and this matter could be ended so quickly, and she was full of pride and satisfaction in her heart. In order to follow such a boss who judges the case like a god, I am also glad that I am not lazy. When I returned to the inner office, I thought that after freshening up and sleeping for half an hour, it would be dawn, although it was okay to be tired, after all, a big case was solved.

She walked back to her room, and almost as soon as there was a knock on the door, she heard the door of the next room, which was separated by four walls, suddenly open and a head poked out. She frowned and asked, "No wonder you sleep until three poles in the sun every day, so you go to bed so late." If you don't sleep yet, what are you doing in your room? ”

Qin walked out in stride, walked in front of her, leaned over and stared at her, "A man doesn't sleep at night, doesn't read, and doesn't handle cases, what do you say he can do?" ”

Bai Shui glared at him, "Dirty." ”

Qin Fang smiled proudly, "Of course I can't sleep, oh, otherwise what do you think?" ”

Bai Shui was annoyed, "Dirty! ”

She stretched out her hand to pat him, but as soon as her hand got up, he grabbed it, her palm was cold, and she didn't know what bottle was stuffed. Qin Fang said, "Don't keep moving your hands and feet, Sven, if you want to catch criminals, don't always rush ahead, even if you really want to rush ahead, you have to be careful." ”

After Qin Fang finished speaking, he ran back to his room, leaving Bai Shui with an inexplicable face. She looked through the white jade bottle several times, but she didn't know what was inside. As soon as the cork was removed, a strong and familiar smell of medicine rushed to my nose. She paused, iron beating wine? When did she fight with someone, was he blind?

When she put the cork back into the bottle, she saw the injury on the back of her hand that prevented Yang Fugui from seeking death. The wound was already bruised, and it hurt a little to press it, but I forgot about everything when I was busy.

Even she forgot it, but the person who hung it did.

Bai Shui stood for a while, until a gust of evening wind blew, and she was so cold that she came back to her senses instantly.

She was stunned for something just now, she was surprised, and she felt that others were not bad at that moment.

She shook her head, and closed the door in confusion, shutting out all her distractions, not allowing them to come in again, preferably in the cold evening breeze, and not coming to her again.

Ten years later, there were no major cases in the Daimyo's Mansion, and in April, Su Yunkai was almost finished trying the cases that had accumulated at hand. Seeing that the people's livelihood is peaceful, the weather is bright, and the rainy season has passed, it is a good day to go out. When I got up early in the morning to eat, I said, "Every year, the Criminal Division will inspect the prefectures and counties, and I want to take advantage of the leisure in April to go out to inspect, which of you is going to go?" ”

"Me." Qin Fang replied most positively, he was tired of staying in the government, and of course he couldn't miss the opportunity to go out.

"Me." Bai Shui wants to go out to inspect major states and counties to have more knowledge, which is better than handling small cases in the government.

"Me." Mingyue just took a bite of the dumpling and almost choked. Wherever he goes, she goes.

Su Yun was surprised, "I'll pack up my things later, I'll explain, and I'll go out tomorrow morning." ”

When Qin Fang heard that he didn't even eat, he hurriedly ran back to pack his things. Bai Shui was in a hurry, so he didn't eat it, so he hurriedly went to hand over the work in his hand to other head catchers. As soon as the two left, only Mingyue and Su Yunkai were left, and the two of them looked very calm under the backdrop of those two anxious people.

After breakfast, the two of them also drank a cup of hot tea, which Su Yunkai said, "I asked someone to go to Nanle County to pick up your grandfather, and your grandfather returned to the county office, and he didn't want to come over, saying that he had a case in his body and couldn't leave, so he would come to see you in person when he was free." ”

- I also asked the messenger to ask him to take good care of Mingyue, and he must be mellower than when he took her away.

Mingyue asked, "What about ...... If you inspect the state and county, will you go to Nanle County? ”

"My predecessor went there for the first two times, so I probably won't go there, and I have to go to other states and counties."

"Oh...... Then I'll go back to see my grandfather when I'm free, this time I'm also on official business, and I can't show favoritism. Mingyue said again, "Last time you inquired about Brother Bai, didn't you hear from there again?" ”

Su Yunkai shook his head, "I asked my colleagues from Dali Temple in the Criminal Department to inquire, and there were two letters back, and I only gave one white water." It's just because another letter mentions that Bai Ying is a fast arrester in Kaifeng Mansion, although his official position is not high, but Kaifeng's fast arrest is also a court official, and someone should be able to track him down, but after he disappeared, the Criminal Department quickly closed the case. It looks like someone deliberately cut off the tracking. ”

Mingyue groaned, "It seems that the disappearance of Brother Baiying is not simple. ”

"Don't tell Bai Shui yet, she's impatient, especially when it comes to her brother."

"Well, I hope Brother White Shadow is still alive, it's just missing."

Saying that, it's always unsettling.

Every year, when the criminal officer goes on patrol, he will probably pass through five or six prefectures and more than 20 counties. It will take more than a month to leave. The Sentencing Division already has the responsibility of supervising its officials and selecting local cases for retrial, and the month is determined by the incumbent Sentencing Officer, and the prefecture and county are randomly selected.

Su Yunkai released the government in the evening, drew up the route, and estimated the next day, which was almost forty days.

The second day was still a good weather, the wind and the sun were beautiful, the four of them were in the same car, not wearing official uniforms, and there was a sense of outing when traveling. Out of the city gate, the suburbs were full of green scenery, and Qin Fang sighed, "I knew that I should get up early and go to the restaurant to fill the food box, and watch the spring scenery while eating dried meat and drinking, which is beautiful." ”

Bai Shui snorted coldly, "No matter how beautiful the scenery is, as long as you dare to delay the trip, I will be ruined." ”

Mingyue bent her eyes and smiled, "What if the little monkey looks at himself?" ”

"Ruined too."

Qin Fang covered his face in shock, he couldn't look in the mirror in the future.

Mingyue smiled dumbly, "Brother Bai scared you." ”

Hearing her call Brother Bai, Qin was relieved to be proud again. Seeing Bai Shui's inexplicable face, why did he smile so much?

However, Su Yunkai saw him smiling like this, and saw that his eyes always drifted to Bai Shui's face, and his heart was slightly paused, and he always felt ...... There's something wrong with his "brother-in-law". I can't tell where it is.

When he retracted his gaze, he saw Mingyue laughing with Bai Shui, and the smile on his pretty face was like a blooming flower, like early summer. After looking at it a few more times for a while, looking at him and suddenly remembering, no wonder he felt that Qin Fang's eyes when he looked at Bai Shui were familiar, wasn't it just like looking at Mingyue himself.

What kind of look is that?

The erudite Tanhualang suddenly pondered.

But he didn't figure it out until he arrived at the post station.

The post stations are all for officials to live, and the common people are not allowed to live. After Su Yunkai revealed his identity, Yi Cheng unloaded the horse from the carriage and led the horse to the stable to graze and feed.

It is the month when there are no festivals, and the officials have less rest, and there are many empty rooms here, so one person has one room.

The food at the post station was not very delicious, Qin Fang was not full for dinner, and he was hungry before he fell asleep, so he touched his stomach and came out to find food. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a black shadow running quickly, which frightened him and made him shudder and scream.

Bai Shui, who was about to go back to the room, heard the sound of coming, and Qin Fang pounced when he saw her, hugged his arms and shouted, "There is a thief!" ”

Bai Shui glanced at him, "Flower thief?" ”

Qin Fang glared, "I won't pick your man-eating flower." ”

White water snorted, and suddenly there was a wail from the stable. Her intuition was not good, but Qin Fang was still holding her arm, so she simply grabbed his hand and dragged him there, wanting to see it clearly, so frightened that Qin Fang screamed again.

She couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Shut up." ”

"Then you have to protect me."

"......" cowardice, bag!
