Uncle Li stroked his palms and laughed: "Wonderful! It's a pity that Qing Ruo is not a man, otherwise Uncle Li would marry Ah Mao to you! Ah Mao also wiped his saliva and nodded yes.

The next day, Uncle Li took Chu Qingruo, who lied that he was his distant nephew, to the yamen of Qingshui County.

Qingshui County Commander Chen Jingzhi, in his forties, is slightly chubby. A white face like a good dough has a pair of small eyes that seem to never wake up, and the thin slit is like it, commonly known as "the sky is not bright".

When he speaks, he always likes to use his two fingers to twist his neatly trimmed little mustache, with a small round belly, seemingly easy-going, but his eyes are shining with shrewdness.

After reading Chu Qingruo's words and articles, Chen Jingzhi accepted her very happily. After Uncle Li thanked the county magistrate, he led her to the class room in the backyard of the county government.

In the class room, a group of officials sat in a circle, and in the circle sat a man of eighteen or nineteen years old with a sandalwood flower fan, with his back to the door of the class room, and was happily telling stories to the officials.

As soon as the officials saw Uncle Li walk in, they all stood up and saluted: "Li catches the head." ”。 Uncle Li smiled and raised his head, and the man with his back to the door also stood up and turned around and made a gesture to Uncle Li: "Li catches his head." ”

Uncle Li replied with a smile: "Master Yi is polite! He turned his head and introduced to Chu Qingruo behind him: "This is another copywriter in the yamen, Yi Qing, Master Yi." ”

Then he introduced to Master Yi: "This is my distant nephew, Chu, Chu Qing, who is also here to be a copywriter, and everyone will be colleagues in the future, please take care of me." ”

Master Yi and the officials bowed their hands and warmly beckoned her to sit down at another desk in the class room. Chu Qingruo sat beside his bookcase and looked at everyone carefully.

The officials are all ordinary-looking, three big and five thick, nothing special. On the contrary, Master Yi seems to stand out from the crowd in a group of servants, and he is different.

The tall and thin figure is dressed in white, the eyebrows are like distant mountains, the lips are red and the teeth are white, and the pair of eyes that are as clear as a mirror on the fair and clean face seem to hide a bottomless mystery.

A pair of hands like white jade, and the slender fingers are as delicate as fine white porcelain. Holding a handful of sandalwood as the handle, one side is plain noodles, and the other side uses a few brushes, but it is a flowing water peach blossom fan with a lot of meaning.

Although it is a coarse cloth simple clothes, it can be unmatched in the gestures of elegance and forceful luxury.

Chu Qingruo was amazed: This person's demeanor is comparable to that of a fairy brother, if Ah Mao is here, I am afraid that saliva will flow into a river and drown the county government.

Master Yi seemed to feel her gaze, and replied to her with a kind smile without mind, as if he had long been accustomed to being watched and amazed like this, holding a fan and arching his hand slightly to her.

Chu Qingruo thought of working with such a pleasing person in the future, and he was very happy in his heart, and he also smiled at him slightly. Yi Qing looked at her smile without a city, but as if something had hit her heart, she shook her heart.

secretly laughed at when his concentration was so poor, and he was confused by the smile of a handsome young man. Gently tapped his head with a fan, and returned to his desk, Yi Qing picked up a case file and copied it.

"Knock Knock"

"Ascension~"

The drum of grievances outside the county government was beaten, and the county magistrate shouted to ascend to the hall. Chu Qingruo glanced at Yi Qing nervously, only to see him smile generously:

"Brother Chu, don't be nervous, Li Zhutou has taken care of me and others, you are still in school now, you only need to come to the yamen after school to copy the case file in the future, and go to the court to make a case record during the day, or you will work on your behalf, Brother Chu can rest assured."

Chu Qingruo breathed a long sigh of relief and arched his hand: "Then it's bothering Master Yi." Yi Qing smiled and turned to leave.

As the sky got dark, she looked up at the sky outside the window, stretched, stood up and said goodbye to everyone in the yamen one by one, and returned home with Uncle Li.

Mother Zhou also specially made her favorite dish to treat her today, Chu Qingruo and Mother Zhou ate together, talked for a while and fell asleep.

Soon the school resumed teaching, and early in the morning, Chu Qingruo carried her bookbag on her back amid the noise of Ah Mao and the obedient fight, and came to the school with her.

Today's Master's class was particularly intense, and in order to make up for the content that had been left behind, the Master talked until it was almost dark before calling for the end of the class.

After class, Chu Qingruo hurriedly changed his clothes and got into the carriage to Qingshui County. She's on duty tonight, so it's not good to be late. Sitting in the carriage, her heart was anxious, and she hurriedly urged the uncle who was driving the car to hurry up, and hurry up.

Suddenly the horses neighed, the car shook violently, and the carriage stopped. Chu Qingruo anxiously opened the curtain of the car and looked out, only to see two thin figures on the not wide road, one large and one small.

Jumping out of the carriage, he and the coachman went up to check, and it turned out that an old man led a child of four or five years old, and the two were ragged and skinny, and rushed onto the road from the side of the road, but they were startled by the startled horse.

As soon as his legs were weak, he fell to the ground alive and didn't get up for a long time.

The coachman was also frightened, and secretly wiped a handful of sweat, so dangerous...... Fortunately, he was in time.

Chu Qingruo stepped forward to help the old man and the child, and the coachman asked urgently: "This, this, old man, you, are you okay?" ”

The old man took the child's hand in shock, looked at the child intact, and then said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's the old man who is in a hurry and collided with the two, I'm really sorry." He made a gesture.

"Old man, you are in such a hurry, where are you going?"

The old man had a bitter face: "My hard-working grandson and I are about to rush to Qingshui County to file a complaint." ”

"I happen to go to the county government as well, if the old man doesn't give up, why don't I give you a ride?"

There is still a long distance from the county government here, and the old and the young are in such a hurry, but I am afraid that the old man has already rested when he arrives there. So Chu Qingruo kindly proposed.

The old man hesitated slightly, and the little grandson on the side took his arm and shook it, and shouted timidly: "Grandpa~" The old man looked down at the little grandson, gritted his teeth, and hugged his fist at her: "Then there is Mr. Lao." ”

The coachman helped Chu Qingruo to help the old man and the child into the carriage, and several people came to the gate of the county government in Qingshui County. The old man got out of the carriage, stepped forward and sounded the drum of grievances, and the county lord called for the promotion of the hall.

After a while, the old man left the hall, and Yi Qing returned to the class room from the hall. Chu Qingruo asked, "Master Yi, may I ask what the old man was wrong just now?" ”

Yi Qing was curious: "Brother Chu recognizes that old man?" ”

She shook her head and told him in detail about the scene of meeting the old man when she came just now.

Yi Qing thought thoughtfully: "I see." ”

"Where's that?" Chu Qingruo couldn't help but walk over lightly and looked at him curiously.

He looked at her wet, elk-like eyes, and for a moment there was a slight wave in his heart, and he quickly lowered his eyes, coughed dryly to hide the strangeness in his heart: "That old man brought his grandson to the county government to complain...... The county lord of Jinyang County! ”

“！！” Chu Qingruo was taken aback, "Sue the county lord?" What to sue her? ”

"The old man sued the county lord of Jinyang County for forcing his son to divorce his wife and marry another, forcing his daughter-in-law to die, and privately imprisoning his son in the county king's mansion, and his life and death are still unknown." Yi Qing looked at Chu Qingruo with a toothache on his face and said.

Since ancient times, only men have robbed the people's women, but now the Great Yan Dynasty has a county lord who robbed the people's men, which is ...... This is really, the wind of the world is going down, the wind of the world is going down!

Chu Qingruo was shocked: "How can the county master break it?" ”

Putting down the pen in his hand, Yi Qing sighed helplessly: "How can the county master break it?" It was only said that this matter was very important, so it was necessary for the yamen to slowly investigate, and only after finding the real evidence could they make a decision, and sent the old man home to wait for the news, and then shouted to retreat. ”

Chu Qingruo was also speechless, this county magistrate did this, and it could be regarded as sleek and upright. What can he do?

Since ancient times, it has not been an easy thing for the people to sue the officials, not to mention that the old man struck the county government who was lower than the county governor.

This official trial of the county lord can be regarded as the following crimes in Dayan. If you were another master, I'm afraid that you would have been directly beaten out with a few killing sticks, so how could you be allowed to plead in court.

asked Yi Qing suspiciously: "Is the master doing this to accept or not to accept this case?" Yi Qing frowned: "This is a hot potato, it's a trouble to pick it up or not!" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Yi Qing poured a glass of water for Chu Qingruo, put it in front of her, and then sat down and said quietly: "No, if this case is stabbed above, the above will definitely blame the master for negligence." But if you take ......"

Chu Qingruo said: "If you take it, this county lord is a relative of the emperor, and I am afraid that the county order will not be able to judge the emperor." ”

Yi Qing squeezed the cup in his hand tightly, and although his tone was calm, there was a raging fire in his eyes: "Yes, this case...... It's hard to do......"

The two chatted for a while, and then each returned to his desk to continue his work. When Chu Qingruo finished transcribing a case file and lifted it up, she found that Yi Qing, who was sitting on the desk opposite her, had left at some point.

Holding her sore neck and twisting it, she lifted her leg and walked out of the room. At night, the yamen was empty, and everyone rested. Only Uncle Li was still sitting in the gatehouse waiting for Chu Qingruo to go home together.

Seeing Chu Qingruo stretching out of the class room, Uncle Li smiled at her: "Tired, right?" Let's go home. ”

With a warm heart, she obediently stepped forward and raised her head slightly. While talking, the two walked out of the side door of the yamen.

Suddenly, Uncle Li glanced at the roof of the county yamen vigilantly, and shouted: "Who is it?" He easily pulled Chu Qingruo behind him to protect him.

Only then did she look up at the place where Uncle Li was looking, and saw a black-clothed and masked person standing on the roof.

The masked man glanced back at Uncle Li and Chu Qingruo, and one of the harriers rolled over and jumped onto the roof of another house, quickly disappearing into the night.

Uncle Li was shocked, and hurriedly ran back to the yamen and shouted to everyone. After the sleepy-eyed county lord heard that someone had broken into the county government at night, a spirit, a pair of mung bean eyes were round, and he asked in surprise: "Who is so bold that he dares to break into the county government at night?" ”

Yi Qing put on his coat and said with a distant gaze: "I'm afraid it's for today's pair of grandchildren." ”

"Master Yi means ......?!"

Yi Qing nodded: "As the master thought, it seems that it is dangerous to the grandson." ”

Chen Jingzhi was furious: "How dare they! Hum! There is no way to see it. Li catches the head! ”

Uncle Li arched his hand: "The subordinates are here." ”

Chen Jingzhi: "I am tired of Li Zhutou and a few brothers to go to the place where the grandson stayed, and I will temporarily protect the safety of the two grandchildren tonight."

Master Yi, tomorrow I have to bother Master Yi to take the county's handwritten letter, go to the White Tiger Camp under the command of General Fu in Chenzhou, find the general in the camp, and deliver the handwritten letter to him, he will know how to do it after reading the letter. ”

Yi Qing and Uncle Li hugged their fists and said yes, Uncle Li glanced at Chu Qingruo slightly apologetically and then bowed his hand to Yi Qing: "Can you bother Master Yi to give your little nephew a ride tonight?" ”

Yi Qing smiled and returned the salute: "I'm happy to do it." Uncle Li was very grateful, and left in a hurry with two officials.

After the county magistrate finished instructing, the yamen and the others dispersed, Yi Qing went back to the room and dressed neatly, lit a lantern, made a gesture of invitation to Chu Qingruo, and walked out of the yamen with her.

Just as they stepped out of the yamen, suddenly there was a sound of clothes flying behind them.

Yi Qing's figure was stunned, and Chu Qingruo was curious: "What's wrong?" ”

He smiled softly: "It's nothing! Let's go. ”

Walking beside her with a lantern, Yi looked at her secretly without a trace.

Under the moonlight, her figure is petite, her shoulders are narrow and her hips are wide, and there is a faint woman's twisting posture when she walks, and there seem to be two piercings on her earlobes!

I knew a little in my heart, and I couldn't help laughing, this woman was also a maverick, and she actually came to Yamen to be a master. However, her talent is worthy of a master, but unfortunately she is a daughter. If it's a man, it's a talent.

"Chu ...... Touts. ”

"Huh?" Chu Qingruo raised his head and looked at him suspiciously.

Yi Qing was looked at by her inquiry, and he forgot what he wanted to say for a while: "That...... Forget it, it's fine. ”

Chu Qingruo: "?? ”

Yi Qing asked embarrassedly: "Actually, I wanted to ask Master Chu if you can ride a horse?" ”

Chu Qing was puzzled: "Wait a minute, why did Master Yi ask this question?" ”

Yi Qingzhengse: "How many years older than Master Chu, if Master Chu doesn't mind, how about calling me Changyun in the future?" ”

Chu Qingruo: "Okay, then Brother Changyun won't call me Master Chu in the future, just call me Qingruo." ”

Chu Qingruo? Good name. Yi Qing thought to herself, this is probably her real name.

"Qing Ruo, can you know the person of the Jinyang County Lord?"

"Please give me advice."

Yi Qing's face gradually became heavy with what he said.

Lu Xiuying, the lord of Jinyang County, has three out of twenty this year, and she is waiting for the word boudoir. It's not that she can't get married, it's that she doesn't want to marry. Since ancient times, there have been lustful people among men, and the lord of Jinyang County is the hungry ghost among women.

Jinyang County is the territory of his father King Jinyang, and if there is a handsome son with a weak crown in the territory, once he is favored by the lord of Jinyang County, he will either be lured by interests to make him become a minister under his skirt, or coerced and coerced to force the other party to submit.

Of course, there are also some iron-clad men who would rather die than give in, and in the end they ruined their families, and there are no longer a few who have nowhere to redress their grievances.

Occasionally, a few escapes from the Shangguan Mansion beat drums and shouted grievances, and the next day they were found either dead on the street or in the home of Chen's corpse. The man in black who came tonight thought that the pair of grandsons were hiding in the yamen, so they broke into the yamen at night.

Chu Qingruo was shocked: "Could it be that person who wants to kill people and kill people?" ”

Yi Qing sighed: "I'm afraid yes." ”

Chu Qingruo was speechless: "Then the county lord of Jinyang is really so bold?" Didn't anyone in the court pay attention to this? ”
