Chapter 246: The Dock

No one in the Imperial History Observatory wants to see the cases they handle being denied, but sometimes once a person declines, it is not something he can control at all.

Guo Ming felt that he himself was so decrepit that he stuffed his teeth when he drank water.

At that time, he was the same as Zou Yu, although Zou Yu was the champion, but he also took a tanhua, the palace examination results were good, I thought that he would seek an official and a half position in Yuejing, who would have thought that he would meet the death of his father who had been lying in bed for a long time at home, and this death would have to keep filial piety for three years.

After all, there is still a quota, and in the end, he was reassigned a position - entering the Imperial History Observatory, which is not bad. But this time he entered the Yushitai for more than ten years, during which he was transferred around the Yushitai in various places in Daye Country, handling various cases, from a newcomer who didn't know anything but was eager to learn and motivated to an "old fritter" who knew everything but didn't want to do anything. In the past ten years, he has been entrusted with important tasks, the number of cases has increased, the amount of money has also increased, and he can still record several meritorious deeds every year, but his duties have not changed at all.

After more than ten years, when Zou Yudu, a fellow scholar, was already the prefect of Rongzhou Mansion, he Guo Ming was still just an ordinary official-member in the Rongzhou Local Imperial History Platform, and he thought that he would be able to mix up with the imperial history this year, but he suddenly ran into the case of Lu Yishou.

"What do you think about this?"

Guo Ming's head, Rongzhou Yushitai attendant Shi Ling Dashan, sat on the top and shook the letter in his hand. looked at Guo Ming and asked.

The letter in his hand was sent by Zou Yutuo, which contained his views on Lu Yishou's case. Speaking of opinions, in fact, to put it bluntly, is the outcome of the judgment he is about to make. And this letter is not to solicit the opinion of the Imperial Observatory, but only to inform in advance of the upcoming verdict.

"I don't have a problem with that."

Guo Ming didn't think about it, and blurted out directly.

That's how things are going on anyway, what else can he think?

This thing will become like this, and he can only blame himself for being too rash. When he took over the case that day, he didn't investigate again, but only determined that Lu Yishou was guilty based on the evidence collected by others.

Speaking of this, Guo Ming once again felt that he was really weak.

From the very beginning, this case was originally in the hands of another person in the Imperial Tower. It's just that something suddenly happened at his house. After taking a leave of absence for a while, the servant Yushi was handed over to Guo Ming.

Then, this mess hung on Guo Ming's body.

"You can think about it, once this is sentenced. You've been doing it all year—"

The Imperial Servant is emphasizing again.

Attitude towards his leader. Guo Ming silently rolled his eyes in his heart. He has been working in the Yushitai for more than ten years. Meritorious deeds or something, still need him to remind? It's just that this matter is like this, what can he do?

However, although he has a lazy personality, he is not a fool. What Ling Dashan was thinking in his heart, he knew it clearly.

Ling Dashan will be transferred to the Yushitai in Yuejing in the second half of the year, at this critical moment of promotion, of course he doesn't want to have a situation, but Guo Ming, who is the least likely to be in the Yushitai, has given him such a play at this time. Guo Ming knew that Ling Dashan wanted to eat him raw in his heart, but there was a reason for this, and Guo Ming couldn't be blamed for it. So it's not good to have an overdone table on the bright side.

"I'm really ashamed, because of my mistake alone, but I want to put the entire Yushitai on my back."

Guo Ming buried his face in his hands, rubbed it vigorously, and then raised his head and said with a sad face.

"Although you can't be blamed for this, but with your three-inch incorruptible tongue, why didn't you come back in court at that time?"

Ling Dashan's tone was not too good.

Guo Ming was a little depressed.

Of course, he tried to turn the situation back in the court, but suddenly there was such sufficient evidence that even if he said in the court, Zou Yu would not support Yushitai.

"Or—"

Guo Ming suddenly thought of a way, although the implementation of this method is also a bit embarrassing, but now, no matter how embarrassing he is, he has not been denied by the government.

"Let's withdraw the accusation against Lu Yishou before the referee Zou Yu."

After a pause, Guo Ming continued.

This time it was Ling Dashan's turn to roll his eyes.

Withdraw to go? It's lightweight.

Although the laws of the Great Cause Kingdom clearly stipulate that the Imperial Historical Observatory can withdraw cases with insufficient evidence before adjudication, this is really rarely practiced.

Because the withdrawal of the accusation will not only have to be approved at all levels, but also will give the people the impression that the Yushitai has no credibility and goes back on its word. It is precisely because of this that during his tenure as a servant, he never withdrew the case. Of course, the content of the accusation was not directly denied like the case of Lu Yishou.

As soon as he thought of this, he became angry, Guo Ming, Guo Ming, he really wanted to eat Guo Ming raw.

Originally, I had planned to let Guo Ming be the imperial historian of Rongzhou City after he was transferred to Yuejing, but now, it would be good not to dismiss him.

Twentieth day after the public trial.

Ye Xiaoyu still came to the mansion of Rongzhou City as usual, standing on the bulletin board in front of the mansion in a daze, carefully checking every new notice to see if he could find the name of Lu Yishou.

"Huh?! - I found it! ”

Finally found the time of the verdict in the case of Lu Yishou in a corner plastered with old and new notices, Ye Xiaoyu turned her head excitedly, but was suddenly a little stunned-

She forgot that Qing Lang was not with her, and did not stand silently behind her as usual. But this can't be blamed on Qinglang, because in order to "earn money to support his family", he has been working as a dock porter for more than a month.

When the servants standing on both sides of the gate heard Ye Xiaoyu's voice, they all turned their heads and looked at her in surprise.

Ye Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly, laughed dryly, and quickly fled from the door of the mansion after his eyes reconfirmed the time and place of the verdict on the announcement list.

Every time before, it was sunny to hear the news first, and then coldly told Ye Xiaoyu, this time it was finally herself, Ye Xiaoyu thought about this opportunity to fight back, and there was a little pride in her heart.

I finally waited until the early hours of the morning with my eyelids on, but I unexpectedly didn't wait for the clear figure.

Although he goes out early and returns late every day, the time to go out and come back is very accurate, Ye Xiaoyu estimates that Qinglang is not only indifferent, but also a strict "obsessive-compulsive patient", because no matter how busy and tired he is, no matter how windy or rainy, he will return to this yard when the rooster crows three times.

But now, the roosters in the distance have crowed five times in a row, and the sun's rays have begun to peek out from the sky, but there is still no clear figure to be seen.

This made Ye Xiaoyu a little scared.

Although she really rarely worried about the sunshine.

didn't have a good rest all night, which made Ye Xiaoyu's eyes a little sour. After walking around the room and changing more than a dozen sitting positions, Ye Xiaoyu finally decided to put on her coat and go out to the dock to have a look.

Rongzhou is built by the sea, half of which is a mountain and half is a sea. There are many docks, but most of them are located in a few major ports not far from the North District.

Ye Xiaoyu didn't know which wharf Qinglang was moving the goods at, so she could only find them one by one. The shipping in Rongzhou City is very developed, and the carrying capacity of the wharf is also very high, although the distance between the wharf and the wharf is relatively dense, but after looking for it, Ye Xiaoyu felt that her legs were about to break.

It was already dawn, looking at the crowded heads on the dock and the moving men, Ye Xiaoyu began to struggle to find a sunny figure in the crowd. Even if it is 100 miles away, the indifference revealed by that figure can still pierce the crowd. So Ye Xiaoyu is not worried that she will miss out because of the large number of people.

Looking at such a lively wharf, Ye Xiaoyu's hanging heart calmed down a little, there is so much work here, it is estimated that Qinglang did not go back in order to make more money. As soon as he thought of this, Ye Xiaoyu felt that his behavior of complaining just by helping him wash his clothes was really undeserved.

Even in Rongzhou, the early morning in February is still full of cold, especially on the pier, the harsh sea breeze blows a headache.

But Ye Xiaoyu was hot and sweating.

She has run 5 docks in a row, but she has not found a sunny figure. Only this last one remains, if it hasn't been found—

If he hadn't found it yet, Ye Xiaoyu comforted herself in her heart that Qing Liang might have gone back, and she might miss him on the way out.

This last pier is also the farthest and most remote from the North District, but it is the largest.

Because all the big ships from overseas docked here, and the unloading of large quantities of goods was also large, there were no fewer people on the dock than the previous ones.

But this time, Ye Xiaoyu didn't have much effort to see the sunny back, he was standing in the corner of the container, with the light on his back, and most of his body was covered, leaving only an indifferent back of his head.

But this was enough for Ye Xiaoyu to discover him.

Sure enough, this paralyzed man didn't even want his life in order to earn an extra penny or two, Ye Xiaoyu complained in his heart, even if he had martial arts, this continuous high-intensity and sleepless work would definitely exhaust him.

"Qing-"

The wind on the dock was too strong, and Ye Xiaoyu stood a little far, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the sound disappeared into the wind.

Since you can't hear it, then—

The corners of Ye Xiaoyu's mouth went up, and she suddenly thought of a good way in her heart.

Isn't sunny and uniformly paralyzed? Isn't he always cold? Isn't it always a dead face? Then Ye Xiaoyu wants to see if a person with facial paralysis all the year round will still be paralyzed if he is frightened?

As soon as this thought came to me, all the tiredness of the previous one was swept away.

There's nothing funnier than seeing a man with facial paralysis change his expression.

tiptoed towards the cargo box at Qinglang Station, because Qinglang has martial arts, and it is impossible for Ye Xiaoyu to succeed in ordinary times, and he often hasn't taken two steps before he is discovered by Qinglang in an instant. But now it's different, there are noisy people on the dock, no one noticed Ye Xiaoyu's small movements, and Qing Lang didn't notice it. (To be continued......)
