Chapter 18: Qin Xing

"That's so, but the county magistrate was busy that day, so this matter was handed over to Cao Mi to be responsible......"

After saying this, Li Jiwen closed his eyes again, and he didn't know if he really slept.

The case of killing the cow seems to be very clear, with all the human and material evidence, but Di Renjie always feels that there is something wrong with this case.

As for what was wrong, he couldn't say for a while, he just frowned and muttered, "It's strange......"

Xu was muttering too many times, and Li Jiwen, who was dozing off, woke up again, and muttered as if unintentionally: "Cao Mi is strange...... Su County is strange...... Hahaha......"

After muttering such a sentence intermittently, Li Jiwen leaned sideways very exaggeratedly, as if he was about to fall to the ground.

Di Renjie hurriedly stepped forward to support Li Jiwen, and shouted "County Cheng" a few times in a row, but Li Jiwen did not respond.

Shaking his head helplessly, he called out to the official guarding outside the door, and the two of them carried Li Jiwen back to his room together.

After settling Li Jiwen, Di Renjie returned to the county governor's yamen again, ready to pack up the case files and go back to rest.

However, when he picked up the case file of killing cattle in front of the bookcase again, he was stunned.

The originally clean case file had an extra puddle of stains at this time, and the location of the stains happened to be the name of the main culprit Chang Wu.

If it weren't for Li Jiwen's two strange shouts intentionally or unintentionally just now, this name would not make Di Renjie feel a little wrong.

At this time, since he felt that something was wrong, Di Renjie carefully checked the case file again from beginning to end.

After reading the case file, he also had an extra piece of tissue paper with several names written on it.

In addition to the name of the main culprit Chang Wu, there are also two officials, Sun and Zhou, who are responsible for escorting the exile, and the shopkeeper of Jixian Lou, the shopkeeper of Jixian Lou......

"What do you mean?" Early the next morning, still in that small noodle restaurant, Di Renjie and Song Sansi sat opposite each other.

When Song Sansi was eating happily, Di Renjie carefully lowered the note with several names written on it.

"These people are a little weird, you see if you know any."

In addition to the name of the shopkeeper Lu, Song Sansi has never heard of it. But since there is an understanding, there is a breakthrough.

"It just so happens that I also have something to ask you to help with, yesterday evening a county official named Qin Xing went to Jixian Building, and the ...... of the shopkeeper of Nalu "It is inevitable that the wall has ears, Song Sansi's voice is getting quieter and quieter, if it weren't for Di Renjie getting along with him for a long time, I'm afraid I don't know what he is muttering."

Listening to Song Sansi's words, Di Renjie frowned, and hesitated for a while before saying, "I know what you said about Qin Xing, he is by my side......"

Before Di Renjie finished speaking, Song Sansi suddenly raised his eyebrows, picked up the noodle bowl and drank a large mouthful of rich soup.

Seeing this, Di Renjie hurriedly closed his mouth, stopped speaking, lowered his head again and began to eat noodles.

Who knew that he had just picked up the dough piece, and before he could put it in his mouth, someone said: "Lieutenant Di, I found you, why did you eat so shabby in the morning, and you didn't even have a piece of meat, how can this work." ”

After speaking, no matter what Di Renjie thought, Qin Xing shouted directly: "Shopkeeper, the county lieutenant Di is eating a bowl of noodles with your face, why do you give such a bowl of somen noodles, it's too ignorant." ”

First, Qin Xing's voice was a little loud, and secondly, what he said was also a little yin and yang, and with a single sentence, everyone's eyes converged on Di Renjie's body.

This time, Di Renjie was a little embarrassed.

Putting down the noodle bowl, Di Renjie made a square salute and said softly: "Fellow villagers, I am Di Renjie, the new county lieutenant of this county, and I will invite you to ...... in the future."

Before he finished his words, several people who were originally stunned because of Qin Xing's words shouted in unison, some shouted Lord Di, some shouted Master Di, but no one called him County Lieutenant Di.

Di Renjie hurriedly became polite again, and finally calmed down these fathers and fellow villagers. But for these ordinary people, since the county lieutenant is eating at the noodle restaurant, they can't be here anymore no matter what.

immediately checked out and left, but in the blink of an eye, the originally lively noodle restaurant was empty, leaving only Qin Xing and Di Renjie, the two guests, Xiao Er, and the shopkeeper staring at each other.

I only heard Qin Xing speak again: "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and change a bowl of mutton dumplings for Lieutenant Di." ”

"I'm not busy, I'm not busy, I'll have enough to eat this bowl." Di Renjie didn't think about it, so he directly rejected Qin Xing's proposal.

Xu offended Di Renjie yesterday, and Di Renjie didn't drink the wine that he later apologized for, and the shopkeeper was still a little frightened at this time.

So although Di Renjie had already said that he didn't need it, the shopkeeper still bumped into Xiao Er and whispered: "Hurry up and tell the kitchen to put more mutton." ”

Xiao Er responded and ran to the kitchen, and the shopkeeper remembered that there was Qin Xing at this time, and hurriedly ordered: "Two bowls, prepare one bowl for Qin Ye." ”

Hearing this, Di Renjie didn't say anything more, but made up his mind not to eat that bowl.

"Lord County Lieutenant, why do you want to eat this bowl of vegetarian, wait for the mutton to come up and eat it, this glutton, there must be mutton to be fragrant." Qin Xing sat opposite Di Renjie and said with a big grin.

"I ate mutton when I came here yesterday, so I want to taste this vegetarian dumpling today." With a perfunctory remark, Di Renjie took out the copper plate from his arms and said, "The shopkeeper, I have collected the money." ”

The shopkeeper was pretending to eavesdrop on Di Renjie and Qin Xing behind the counter, but when he heard Di Renjie shouting at him to collect money, he was immediately stunned.

Although he wanted to pretend not to hear it, Di Renjie had already seen him, and the shopkeeper had no choice but to speak: "County Lieutenant Di is too polite, but a few copper plate things are only regarded as a small shop for you to eat." ”

As he was talking, Qin Xing coughed lightly without knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional, and the shopkeeper continued: "The bowl of mutton dumplings in the back kitchen has been cooked, do you think you want to have another bowl?" ”

After thinking for a while, Di Renjie took out a few copper plates from his arms and said, "Shopkeeper, you keep this money, one bowl of vegetarian and two bowls of mutton." ”

"This ...... This...... This, how to make ......" As he spoke, the shopkeeper hurriedly colored Qin Xing.

Qin Xing coughed lightly and said, "County Lieutenant Di, you see that the shopkeeper is also a piece of mind, it is better to ......"

Before he finished his words, Di Renjie said directly: "Shopkeeper, give money for dinner, it is a matter of course, you accept this money, and we will talk about it later." ”
