, see a few particularly tall in the middle of the Australian team. Everyone knows that Shark Ding is really stylish. Not only is he tall, but he is also larger than the average person. I saw that they did not come on foot without riding in a sedan chair, or riding a "car" or "iron horse". The people have a good impression of such a non-pretentious style.

The dozen or so people at the gate of the city did not dare to stop them, so they let them enter the city. The team went straight to the county yamen, and when they arrived at the intersection in front of the county yamen, the team was divided into two, and one went to the back of the yamen. The rest of the people drove straight to the main gate of the county ya.

The two soap classes at the entrance of the county government felt bad, and their eyes were nervous and went straight to the door. Fat. Wu Xi, who was in charge of the door, had dealt with Xiong Bu estimated that he had dealt with many times, and saw that there were several Australians who looked like officials around this "Master Xiong", all of them with iron faces, and with that terrifying brown and yellow triangular sleeve in his waist, which was filled with a powerful Australian hand, he was a little timid in his heart, and he had to pile up a smile to greet him because of his duty.

Master Xiong, who has always been kind and pleasant, seems to be very official this time, and he simply said that he wants to see Master Wu. Of course, they want to see Wu Mingjin, no matter when, the master can see him even if he sleeps. Wu Xi hurriedly responded and went inside to spread the word.

Wu Mingjin is struggling with his brains, this case of throwing knives and arrows that suddenly caused a storm in the city is not a big deal, after all, even if no one lives or property, but the matter involves the heads of Zhu Zhong and the scholars in this county, if he can't solve it properly, he can't afford it.

Hurry up and send someone to invite Master Wang to discuss.

"This must have been done by Chen Mingwang and his gang," Wang Zhaomin said in a low voice, "Huang Ergongzi has recently connected with the big families to make a payment, and Mr. Liu has also come forward to block their financial path

"This is also a lot of things for hipsters!" Wu Mingjin was very annoyed, "I have to take care of what kind of grain, and I have to do it!" It's all over the city! I'd like to see how they're going to end up. As he spoke, he glanced at Master Wang.

Wang Zhaomin's face was hot, and it was he who tried his best to persuade Wu Mingjin at the beginning, saying that the Australians are very capable, and many difficult things that cannot be done in the county can be solved, and there will not be much of a problem in contracting grain this time. But I don't know if when I took the regret medicine, Wang Zhaomin saw that the old man had a picky expression, and hurriedly said:

"Master, they can get rid of this matter

Wang Zhaomin's words reminded Wu Mingjin that he was the county magistrate of Lingao County in the Ming Dynasty, not an Australian from Bairen City. stabbed the concubine, he had to be responsible.

In the past six months, Wu Mingjin's sense of existence as a county commander has become weaker and weaker. Except for the occasional common people who came to complain, incense to the officials in the county according to the days in the calendar, and presided over the daily examinations of the children and talents of the county school, he did not do anything related to the county order. Most of the days are either drinking tea and playing chess with Master Wang, or guiding and guiding their children's window lessons. Life has been very leisurely.

"Exactly. The fashionable thief doesn't know the rules of the Central Plains and blindly messes around. Coupled with the non-human being, I don't know how to end up when something happens, Wu Mingjin nodded heavily, "I see that Chen Minggang still knows the importance of proportion, why is he so bold this time!" As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Zhaomin again

Chen Ming.com, a small official, can win the trust of Australians, which is nothing more than "profit, temptation." Wang Zhaomin hurriedly opened the topic, "The top priority is to appease the dark middle families."

If they don't deal with it properly, Zhen Ran will go to Qiongshan Mansion or Guangzhou to file a complaint, and they will not be able to eat and go around, and they will lose their official positions and resign, and the heavy ones will fall into one place, "Bandits." Crimes. You have a share in the lawsuit.

"What's the best idea?. Wu Mingjin Ji was already worried about this matter. It is not necessary to solve the case, and now the three-year-old children in the county know that this matter was done by Chen Mingwang and his gang, but it is quite tricky to deal with.

In order to satisfy Zhu Shen, it is natural to re-run Chen Mingwang and his gang, but this is what Wu Mingjin feels embarrassed by. The county magistrate has concerns about dealing with the county officials, which sounds ridiculous. In fact, this has been the case since the Song and Yuan dynasties.

The officials are in charge of the grassroots administration. They are often generations of officials, with extremely rich administrative experience, and they share the same voice with each other. If you offend them, you will be spoiled by the officials in secret. Not only can you not make a fortune as an official, but you may also lose your position because of administrative mistakes. Therefore, local officials often turn a blind eye to their various evil deeds, and even if something happens, the punishment is very slight, and they are not afraid of a reprimand and dismissal, even if they are the most serious dismissal, and they are replaced by their children, who still control the local administration.

Now that Chen Mingwang has pulled the tiger skin of the Australians as a banner, it will be even more difficult to move him.

"Chen Mingwang and his gang naturally want to deal with it," Wang Zhaomin had already thought about it, "Call Chen Mingwang, reprimand him, and then order him to push out a few people to take the blame."

"It's hard to do." Wu Mingjin shook his head and said, "Not at all."

"Naturally, you can't use the sword and bow to intimidate Shi Zhong in the name of it. He's not stupid, wouldn't it be a great trouble for such a crime to fall on paper? Wang Zhaomin came up with the idea that he would only use the time of requisition to "harass the locality." That's what it is.

This is always disposed of, and the scholars are discouraged. Things will probably settle down.

was discussing, only to see the door trotting in, and without waiting for Wu Mingjin to speak, he preemptively said: "Master! Master Bear is here to worship! ”

"Please!" Wang Zhaomin didn't care about the attitude of the owner, and hurriedly ordered. Wu Mingjin also nodded, "Please come in." ”

Chen Mingwang relies on the power of the Australians, and this matter still has to be communicated with them. Fortunately, Australians are not unreasonable people.

Xiong Buyou was not the only one who came, but there were also a few tall Australians, all of whom had unkind faces. After sitting down, he didn't say a word, and Xiong Bu didn't make any introduction. Wu Mingjin was suspicious, and a close family member ran in and whispered a few words in his ear. I couldn't help but change my face.

The team of Australians has actually guarded the front and rear gates of the county office, no wonder they want to bring thirty or forty people into the city! Wu Mingjin's face was like earth, could it be that they were preparing to formally raise the flag and rebel.

Thinking of this, Wu Mingjin's legs and feet were weak, if he wasn't already sitting, I was afraid that he would fall to the ground. If a thief does such a rebellious thing, he will definitely not be able to follow the thief! It's just that he was martyred, and even his wife and children were killed, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel like a knife, and secretly hated himself for wanting to save a few dollars, and took his family back to Lingao from Qiongshan Mansion.

Wang Zhaomin didn't hear his family's reply clearly, but when he saw Wu Mingjin's face change, he knew that there was nothing good, and his face changed.

Xiong Buyou spoke: "Master Wu! Master Wang". He arched his hand, "I heard that something big happened in the county this time." Some people intimidated the big families in the city, and even Mr. Liu's family had thieves shooting arrows to intimidate, and the whole county was disturbed by this. ”

Wang Zhaomin originally wanted to mention this matter, but when he took the initiative to mention it, he said, "There is indeed such a thing." It's just that things are very tricky

Xiong Buyou looked ignorant: "What's tricky?" ”

Wang Zhaomin thought to himself, you know, and pretend! But it's inconvenient to say this clearly, anyway, his original plan was to be Li Dai Taozhuang, not to mention intimidation, and only talk about "harassing places" to mix things up and finish it.

But his own hard work is to let the fashionable thief see it. He pondered the words for a while before he said slowly: "There is no circumstantial evidence for this matter, except for a few knives, arrows and patches, there is no strong physical evidence. It is not easy to prove who did it."

He doesn't say "crack the case" but talks about "testifying." "Hint to the Australians: The Lord of this matter has made us know that we are not prepared to investigate further." Not easy to solve the case? Unexpectedly, Xiong Buyou didn't understand the obscurity in his words at all, and talked about how he was a local Luoliu and a citizen of Lingao, and he also wanted to build a "harmonious Lingao." Make your part

Wang Zhaomin secretly smiled bitterly: If the "people" in this county are the same as you, who else in the world wants to be an official? "Diao Min. It's pretty much the same, no, it's not even Diao Min, it's just the emperor of the soil.

According to Wang Zhaomin's experience: every time a fashionable thief talks about "harmony", there must be no good thing, and sure enough, Xiong Buyou followed up and put forward his own requirements:

"I have a very set of methods in Australia in the investigation and handling of cases, since we are now both people in Lingao, we also have to share the worries of our old parents. This case, let's handle it with our Zhou Dongtian! It's not that I'm boasting about Haikou, within three days, this case will be solved."

Wu Mingjin began to hear that he did not mean to raise the flag to rebel and participate in accepting the false position himself, and he was already relieved, but now he suddenly heard that he had put forward a request to handle the case, and his mouth couldn't open in surprise.

Wang Zhaomin was also taken aback. Handling? Whether it's suppressing bandits, requisitioning grain, building roads or mining mines", he can roughly understand the meaning of these actions of the Australians, but why did this case come about? Of course, there are advantages to handling cases, but this benefit is too pitiful for Australians.

Moreover, this matter is understandable, but it is only at the instigation of Chen Mingwang. According to Wang Zhaomin's idea, on the one hand, there are the Zhushen represented by Liu Dashuang that the Australians want to woo, and on the other hand, there is Chen Mingwang, who jumps up and down to collect grain for the Australians. Australians should pretend to be deaf and dumb or adopt a similar "muddy" attitude as him, how can they ask for trouble like this?

This Wu Mingjin didn't wait for Wang Zhaomin to speak, and he was already incoherent, "Da Ming has never been like this,"

"If there is no precedent, we will create a precedent!" Xiong Buyou said a new word unexpectedly, "This matter is decided!" ”
