Song Ci snorted, he has been busy for so long, it is finally time to rest, if he has the opportunity, he will definitely go back to his hometown to worship his parents, his wife, and at the same time visit his father-in-law and children.

Ten years away from home, that is the place I once dreamed of leaving, it is a place that is old, but desperately want to go back.

You can't leave your soul in your hometown, and you can't bury your body in another country.

A few days later, all these test papers were handed over and sent to Song Ci, he stayed up all night and looked at it very carefully, among these answerers, there was no shortage of talents, Song Ci looked at it for a long time, and finally had his best candidate.

Qin Yue said: "My lord, why are you so happy? Is there already a candidate for the magistrate?"

Song Ci said with a high heart: "Yes, Miss Yue, it is the test paper in Song's hand now, if the owner of this paper participates in the palace examination, Song will not dare to be the champion, but there is absolutely no problem with Tanhua, and Song is very relieved to hand it over to such a talent."

"Adults deserve to be adults, and they are really thoughtful in doing things, if they are replaced by others, I am afraid that our county will be destroyed again!"

"Not only is it ruined Ah Yue girl, if you don't do it, you have to be completely occupied by the thieves, if these corrupt officials think a little about the people, and think about the half of the Great Song Dynasty, there will be no such situation now."

At this point, Song Ci was sad again, assuming that after he left Xianghe, what should he do if these magistrates came again? At that time, even if it is General Yue Fei, even if it is Lord Bao, he will not be able to return!

On this day, when it was time for these candidates to come and reveal their answers, Song Ci only had one paper in his hand, and he was the best candidate to pass him.

Outside the house, there were already a hundred people gathered, all of them were hot-blooded young people, they all wanted to serve the imperial court, and they all wanted to make great contributions to the Great Song Dynasty.

Song Ci came to the crowd and looked at them.

"Everyone, you are all talented people in the area of the Xianghe River, what our county looked like before, I think everyone already knows it, right?"

"In a county town with a population of 100,000, nearly 30,000 people are going to be thieves, except for the people sent by the imperial court, the lower levels are simply unable to deal with it, and there are only hundreds of people in a county yamen plus yamen, and with their strength, there is naturally no chance of winning."

"But fortunately, Song has solved this matter for you, and then again, if the people have food, who can be willing to do this thing of the Nine Clans? The risk is too great, and if you are caught, hundreds of people will suffer. '

The talented people below listened very carefully, they were all locals, and most of them had experienced the escape.

Song Ci continued: "After so many times, in fact, it can't be just a sentence to come and go, that is, the country can't be without a king for a day, and at the same time, the county can't be without a county for a day."

There is soil below: "Lord Song, why don't you stay and be our magistrate?"

"Yes, yes, Lord Song, you are the parent official of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, the whole Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that your reputation is only lower than that of the Emperor Song Lizong, even in the Northern Song Dynasty, it can only be lower than that of Lord Bao and General Yue Fei!"

When Song Ci heard this, he smiled bitterly, now that there are so many people under him, how can Tang and Wu allow their strength to grow bigger and bigger? This is not good news for them.

Also, if Lu You, the director of the Criminal Department, can fight these two people in the court, he still has the possibility of continuing to be stationed in Xianghe, otherwise, he doesn't know where he will be demoted.

Song Ci sighed, "Folks, there is no banquet to disperse, Song has been in the cluster for nearly a year, and it is very likely that he will be transferred in the near future, but the position of county magistrate cannot be vacant all the time, otherwise after Song leaves, it will become unattended." ”

He held up the test paper in his hand, "Song wrote a total of 100 sheets by hand a few days ago, and ordered his subordinates to distribute these things to you, and today is the time to know." ”

"Among these hundred people, only one Song is very satisfied, but it doesn't mean that the rest of them are useless, and I hope you don't be surprised by this.

Song Ci opened the test paper and looked at the name above and read, "Where is Qi Yu?" Hurry up and come to Song. ”

In the second of the crowd, out came a man of twenty-five or six, who had many patches on his body, which had been patched for another year, but he was clean, without a trace of dirt.

When he came to Song Ci's side, his face was not smiling, but there was a deep worry, and his face was also pale, which was caused by long-term hunger.

Song Ci looked at him, "Young man, can you know why Song called you out among hundreds of people?"

Qi Yu said: "Lord Song, could it be..... Could it be that you are very satisfied with the next examination paper?"

Song Ci nodded, "Yes, Song Mou read your volume, and what made Song Mou's eyes light up, among these people, you are the best, how can Song let you wander in the market?" Well, who else do you have in your family?"

Qi Yu sighed, and suddenly looked at the sky above his head, "My lord doesn't know, I have no father or mother at this moment, I am just alone, there is nothing, if I didn't come to this Xianghe, maybe I would have died in the war." ”

Xianghe has been plagued by anti-thieves for ten years, and in the past ten years, countless people have lost their lives, not to mention those who died of hunger and cold.

Song Ci found that this person had good facial features, was a scholar, and at the same time had a very friendly face, and was the most suitable person among a hundred people.

"Qi Yu, since you are already single, then Song Mou handed over the burden of this Xianghe to you, you will not have an opinion!"

"Ahh It's...."

"Song Mou read your volume, the one on it is very reasonable, and even the current problems of Da Song have come out, and he has seen it very thoroughly, and even Song Mou didn't think of it in some places."

"Yes..... But my lord, I don't have experience as an official, and if you do this, it will make it very difficult for you,..... Why don't you change someone?"

Song Ci did not agree.

"Qi Yu, not everyone is born to be an official, and their experience is also accumulated little by little, besides, when Song was a criminal officer, he also had no experience, I think, why don't you want to try?"

..... He was still a little worried.

Song Ci comforted: "You don't need to, Song has already seen you, this Xianghe magistrate is none other than you, except for you, Song will not want anyone else."

Xiaoxiang also stepped forward and said: "Yes Qi Yu, you just agreed, our adults are very accurate in seeing people, and you are still young, if this Xianghe Zhixian is sat down by others, especially the one sent by the imperial court, what if you are a corrupt official at that time?"

He was silent for a moment, weighing the matter at the moment.

Song Ci had already seen what he was thinking, and comforted: "Regarding the imperial court, don't worry, Song has a very good relationship with Lord Lu of the Ministry of Rites and the Criminal Department, I have written to him on this matter, and at the same time, I also told the emperor that if something happens, Song is responsible."

"At the same time, Song doesn't believe that Emperor Lizong is unwilling to give me a face, if he doesn't agree, then Song will take you to the barracks."

Finally, Qi Yu nodded in agreement at this moment.

Song Ci put his mind at ease, "Wencheng Wenwu, you don't have to ask about the construction of the yamen, this matter is directly handed over to the newly appointed Qi Zhi County, and it just so happens that Song also wants to exercise him."

"Yes, sir."

There is a county, but there are still many townships in the county, and Li Zheng in the early years didn't know where to go, because he was not familiar with the cluster, Song Ci simply handed over the positions of book history and government officials and Li Zheng to Qi Yu.

He was a local and familiar with the situation, so it was a fitting fit for him to choose.

At the same time, in the Lin'an Xuande Palace, Song Lizong heard a report from his subordinates that Zhu Zhi'an, who was on the way back, was murdered, which made him angry.

Zhu Zhi'an's death, how could he not know that this matter was deliberately done by someone, mainly because he was afraid of being shaken out of the old bottom, and he would be severely punished at that time.

At the same time, the murderer is still in this Xuande Palace, in this Manchu Dynasty's civil and military officials.

On this day, as soon as he sat on the dragon chair, he slapped the table and said angrily: "Ladies and gentlemen, you know that Zhu Zhi'an, the main anti-gold general who had returned to Lin'an a few days ago, was killed on the way back."

There was a big shock below, including Tang and Wu, but the shock on their faces was deliberate.

Both of them breathed a deep sigh of relief in their hearts, Zhu Zhi'an was dead, they were safe, and they didn't have to worry about anything big now.

Wu Xi said: "Your Majesty, Zhu Zhian will definitely bring someone when he returns, who will have such courage?" He knew that as soon as Zhu Zhi'an died, it would be very difficult for us to continue to find out the inner ghost. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, my Great Song Dynasty must strictly investigate this matter, anyone with a discerning eye can see that as soon as Zhu Zhian dies, someone will be safe, if this matter is not settled, I'm afraid the master will not agree."

Song Lizong naturally knew about these things, but none of the murderers were caught, and it was extremely difficult to find out.

The only clue now is that if these witnesses are protected, they may know something.

Song Lizong rubbed his head and looked at Lu You with his eyes, "Lord Lu, I order you to protect these soldiers, I swear in this matter that I must find out the murderer and will not tolerate it." ”

Lu You said: "It's the emperor, at the same time, since this matter has come out, Zhu Zhi'an can't come back to life again, the minister has a suggestion, that is, to transfer Song Ci back to Lin'an and let him investigate thoroughly."

Tang and Wu immediately panicked, but their faces were very well concealed.

"Lord Lu, this matter is serious, Song Ci is currently encircled and suppressed in Xianghe, do you think he can get out? Could it be that my Da Song really doesn't have anything else to do? Why is it Song Ci?"

"Master Wu, as for why, since this is the case, then Lu will tell you that Song Ci has many years of experience in judging cases, and he is also a very good worker, with him, Lu can rest assured, and the emperor is also assured.
