Tongyu County.

Zhang Shu sat in the county hall in a four-grade official uniform, his eyes swept over the faces of the officials below.

"I don't know if the official is here this time, what is the matter, we are also here to help."

Tongyu County ordered the arch of the hand.

Zhang Song Shen said: "Who was in charge of the case of adultery in the first place? ”

Tongyu County Ling's face was a little unnatural and said: "It was tried by the lower officials." ”

"Okay, then I'll ask Lin County to tell the official about the case."

"This...

Seeing this, Zhang Shu frowned slightly and said, "What... There may be inconveniences in the Linxian order. ”

"No... No, it's just that the case has been too long, and the lower officials can't remember it clearly. ”

Zhang Shu touched his chin and said in a deep voice: "The county government can have this case file, bring it to me now." ”

Speaking of this, I saw the Tongyu County Order, and suddenly knelt down on one knee and said in panic: "The lower official is guilty, the county government accidentally walked out of the water a few months ago, and the place where the file was stored has been burned to ashes." ”

Zhang Shuyan's face sank suddenly, and he shot the case, pointing at Lin Xianling and angrily reprimanded: "Why don't you report such a major matter to the imperial court, this is a crime of dereliction of duty!" ”

Lin Xianling wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The lower official is guilty." ”

"Humph! I will write down your affairs and report them to the Criminal Department, and then, if you cooperate with the museum to handle the case, maybe you will make up for your mistakes, and you can do it yourself. ”

After speaking, Zhang Shu whisked his sleeves and left.

In the room, Zhang Xu's face was gloomy as water.

How can there be such a coincidence in the world, but there is a problem here in Tongyu County, and the file was actually burned.

The one surnamed Lin can't bully him when he's young, and he doesn't understand it.

The more Zhang Shu thought about it, the more angry he became, and he was very sure that there must be something strange about this case.

"Zhang Guanren, what should the county Yatong judge of Xia Guanjue know."

Jinyi Weiyan said in a deep voice.

"Brother Yan, what do you say!"

Zhang Shu raised his eyebrows.

Yan Dao: "When the official questioned the order of Narin County, the lower official noticed that the expression of the sentence was different, according to the lower official, this person should be inconsistent with the decree of Narin County, maybe he will put something useful from his mouth." ”

Zhang Shu pondered for a moment, and felt that instead of having no clue, it was better to try this method first.

Tongyu County, a small house.

The middle-aged man is rarely willing to spend money to get a few drinks from the shop today, and even let his two wives slaughter a big rooster.

"Husband, why are you so happy today?"

The lady asked puzzled while pouring wine for the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man took a sip of wine, smacked his lips a few times, and said with a smile: "Naturally, there are good things." ”

The two women were a little puzzled, their man came back on weekdays, as if someone owed him a few dollars, and he looked bitter and hateful, and he couldn't guess what good things could make him so abnormal.

The middle-aged man saw that his wives looked like they were waiting for their puzzles to be solved, took a bite of the food, and said with a smile: "Do you know that the imperial court has sent a minister." ”

"Minister? What kind of official is this? ”

The middle-aged man glanced at his wife with some disdain and said, "It's really long hair and short knowledge, what the king said is really true." ”

After a pause, he said: "This minister is a very special official position in the imperial court, and that is the person who travels on behalf of the king, and this small county order surnamed Lin doesn't even dare to let go of a fart in front of him." ”

The two women suddenly broke out in gossip and asked, "Such a big official, our Tongyu County is just a small county, how could the imperial court send such a hungry official." ”

"Humph! It's not for the case in Sanchuan Town at the beginning of the year. ”

"The husband is saying...

And at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the middle-aged courtyard door.

The middle-aged man frowned and asked one of the wives to see who was coming to him so late.

The woman opened them, and saw two strange men standing outside the door.

"You are..."

"I am waiting for the order of the Qin Mission, and I have come to ask Chu Yan to pass the sentence."

The conversation outside the door scared the middle-aged man, and he couldn't care about eating, so he hurriedly didn't go over to see the ceremony.

"It's Chu Yan down there, but Zhang Qin is looking for me?"

Yan nodded and said, "Well, Zhang Guanren is affectionate, Chu Guanren will come with us!" ”

"Wait a minute, the lower official will change his clothes and come."

"No need, that's it, let's go!"

"This... All right! ”

He turned back to his wife and said, "Eat those meals yourself, don't wait for me." ”

After that, he followed behind the two brocade guards who were famous in the ears of the officials.

As a spy agency that only serves Yang Hao, Jinyiwei is often a ruthless person, it is said that in Jinyiwei's prison, there are countless means of punishment, as long as the officials who commit crimes, it is said that they will regret coming to this world after a trip.

Chu Yan could only pray that he would not go through this, although he had not done anything unfortunate, but thinking of those rumors still made his back sweat cold.

He wanted to ask the two brocade guards what Zhang Shu was looking for him, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't dare to speak out at all.

"Official, the person has arrived."

Zhang Shu nodded and told the three of them to step back.

Seeing Chu Yan constantly wiping cold sweat, Zhang Yu smiled and said, "Chu Yan doesn't have to be nervous, sit down!" ”

Chu Yan sat on the chair a little stiffly, a little restless.

"The lower officials don't know that Zhang Guanren is so late, what is the so-called matter of calling the lower officials?"

Zhang Shu didn't answer, but said: "I shouldn't have eaten at this time, it just so happens that the official hasn't eaten either, don't be restrained, let's eat together." ”

Chu Yan looked at a plate of fried vegetarian dishes, a plate of cut mutton, and a small pot of rice on the table.

He didn't expect that a dignified four-grade member would live so frugally, and a petty official like himself who was not in the mainstream would eat much more than this just now.

Seeing that Chu Yan didn't mean to do anything, Zhang Yu said, "What? Unappetizing. ”

"No... No, appetizing. ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly picked up the bowl and took a bite.

"How?"

"It's delicious."

Zhang Shu said with a smile: "It seems that the way of cooking has improved." ”

"It turns out that this dish was made by Shangguan, no wonder it is so delicious."

Chu Yan exclaimed.

"It's just a small road, just eat more if you have an appetite."

Zhang Shu paused for a moment and said, "Listening to the accent of the judgment is like a person from the Northland." ”

Chu Yan said: "Xiaguan was indeed a person from the Northland. ”

"Oh, why are you living here now?"

"Back to Shangguan, in the first year of Hongwu, the king led the army to pacify Gu, when the year of Xiaguan was about fifteen, and in the eighth year of Hongwu, Xiaguan was fortunate to learn some literacy and arithmetic with Mr. Xuefu.

Later, when he was in Chang'an, the imperial court appointed a large number of officials, but the officials did not study well and did not pass the imperial examination.

”

Zhang Shu nodded and said, "I see." ”
