After a noisy night, it was August 17, the day when the murderers of the Xiaosongpo Massacre were beheaded and displayed to the public. When the time came, the high-ranking officials did not appear, the prisoners did not appear, and there was no movement in the yamen.

The lively people from the countryside were disappointed, how could the yamen talk nonsense, only a few days ago it was said that there was a death row prisoner who was going to be beheaded today, and the high-ranking officials from above were present, how could there be no movement on the street at all, and the yamen was also deserted, not at all like there was something big to do.

The people who came from afar in the morning were full of disappointment and asked the familiar merchants in the city on the street, asking what was going on in the yamen, how could they say that there was no movement in the killing head?

When they learned that the army from Huaining yesterday had taken away hundreds of people overnight, they all opened their eyes wide, didn't they say that there was only one head to be cut off, how could there be more than a hundred? The person who was asked could only shake his head, and no one could figure it out.

The beheading is not visible. People who came from far and wide in high spirits could only leave with disappointment, taking with them the regret of not being able to see the lively scene of last night with their own eyes.

Yang Congyi slept until noon, and he was used to sleeping in prison, and he couldn't change it for a while. When he woke up, he saw the food on the table in the room, and no one had come to look for him since yesterday, except for the handyman who brought him food.

How the case went, he didn't know, there was a lot of noise outside last night, before he fell asleep, he was still in chaos, and when he woke up in the morning, it was very quiet outside, and what he needed to sleep was quiet, so he turned over and slept again.

After washing his face and eating dinner, he went out of the room, the sun hid behind the clouds, and it was not hot.

was about to take a walk, but saw Master Zhang's subordinates come down.

I only heard Zhang Peng say, "Brother Yang, get up, the adults called you over, I have a few words to tell you." ”

Yang Congyi stepped forward and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Zhang Peng ignored him and walked straight forward.

Yang Congyi didn't see him answer, thinking that he might not know, so he didn't ask much, and went with him to see Master Zhang, to see if he had anything to say, he wouldn't say that he was guilty again, I hope not.

Entering Mr. Zhang's room, Yang Congyi saw Zhang Zhiyuan sitting in the middle, and Chen Zhixian was also there. He walked briskly in front of the mountain and said, "My lord, what are you looking for me?" ”

Zhang Zhiyuan smiled, "Sit down first." ”

Yang Congyi sat down on the side as he said, waiting for Master Zhang to speak.

Zhang Zhiyuan said, "A few months ago, the government was not cautious enough to handle the case, and you were wronged, Chen Zhixian and I didn't want to go, and we always wanted to do something to compensate you, but we were always entangled in official business and couldn't be distracted." In the morning, I straightened out the case of Komatsupo, and then I had time to talk to you. You won't mind. ”

Yang Congyi got up and replied, "Don't dare, it's just dozens of boards, it's already done, adults don't have to take it to heart." "Rehabilitated and saved his life, it is great luck, what are you worried about.

Zhang Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Yang Yishi sit down, Jianghu Yishi, really don't be informal, just don't blame me and Chen Zhixian." Chen Zhixian and I called you here today just to ask you if you would like to help do something. ”

Yang Congyi replied without thinking about it, "If there is anything, just ask, I will definitely help if I can." ”

Zhang Zhiyuan turned his head and glanced at Chen Zhixian, and said with a smile, "Okay." After the culprits of the Xiaosongpo bloody case were brought to justice yesterday, Taihu County lacked a very important head catcher, I don't know if you would like to replace him temporarily? ”

Yang Congyi didn't answer immediately, it turned out to be this matter, this is to do things for the government, once he stays, he doesn't know how long he will stay, but he promised the uncle to go to Lin'an to find out some news for him, but the uncle didn't say when he would go back, and he was not in a hurry for a while, so he replied, "I don't have anything very important at the moment, but I have no experience in catching fast, I'm afraid it's difficult to take responsibility." ”

Zhang Zhiyuan said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, everything is from scratch, just learn it." You are kind to Lord Mo, and I will naturally repay you for your kindness for him. You first hone and hone here in Chen Zhi County, and then work by my side in the future. ”

Chen Zhixian said, "Master Zhang, didn't you say that a good person left it to me, why do you want to go to you again." ”

Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Chen Zhixian, don't be careful, how long can you stay in Taihu County, maybe a holy decree will come down, tomorrow you will go to other places, can you take the people?" ”

Chen Zhixian thought about it, he had been in Taihu County for three years, and it was time for the imperial court to let him change places, so he said, "Okay, just hone it here for me." ”

Zhang Zhiyuan said with a smile, "That's good, he is the benefactor of Master Mo, you have to take care of it, when the time comes, when the person is lost, I will ask you." ”

Chen Zhixian said, "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of him." ”

Listening to their conversation, Yang Congyi was speechless for a while, was he treated as an object, or was he treated as a child?

Zhang Zhiyuan smiled and said in a straight voice, "Chen Zhixian, the bloody case is over, and the murderer has been brought to justice, we should go." ”

Then he said to Zhang Peng, "Pack up your things and set off in a while." ”

Chen Zhixian said, "Why do you have to leave in such a hurry, you are tired for many days, and it is not too late to rest for a few days." ”

Zhang Zhiyuan said, "During the year, many states and counties had to be inspected one by one, and the task was heavy and I had to go." Chen Zhixian, please go back. ”

Chen Zhixian didn't want to say anything, Zhang Zhiyuan was delayed by him for half a month, and the time was really not short, so he got up and said goodbye.

Zhang Zhiyuan said to Yang Congyi, "Yang Congyi, in the future, you will follow Chen Zhixian to do things well, and when the time comes, I will send someone to find you." Go ahead. ”

Yang Congyi said goodbye, "Thank you, sir." After thanking him, he chased after Chen Zhixian.

Zhang Zhiyuan looked at Yang Congyi who was far away and said to himself, "Jianghu people are Jianghu people." Zhang Peng stood aside and heard clearly, but he didn't know what the adult meant.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Zhiyuan and the others left Taihu County and went to Huaining to deal with the follow-up of the Xiaosongpo Bloody Case.

When Yang Congyi first arrived in Taihu Lake, he followed Chen Zhixian's arrangement and lived in Yamen.

Taihu County is a remote place, poor mountains and bad waters, there are not a few officials above to inspect and inspect a year, there are many houses in the yamen, and the houses are empty, and it doesn't matter how many people live more, as long as the county lord is willing.

Yang Congyi took Zhang Zhiyuan's words to heart, got up very early every day, and wanted to do things well. However, Chen Zhixian did not arrange for anyone to do anything other than try the case, and when the suspects in custody were all tried, he could not be seen for several days. Yang Congyi asked others about the whereabouts of the county magistrate, but everyone replied, You don't know if you live in Yamen, how can they know. I asked many people, but I couldn't get answers. Everyone didn't care where the county lord went, it was better not to be in front of them, so they could play freely.

Yang Congyi is a person who wants to do things, and since he has entered the yamen, he can't mess around. After asking a lot, the little maid in the yamen finally told him that the county magistrate had worked very hard a few days ago, and he had gone to rest in the past few days, and he was not in the county office.

Six or seven days later, everyone saw the county magistrate again. His first sentence was, are there any recent cases?

A group of officials shook their heads quickly, there were people just now, how could anyone dare to make a mistake.

Chen Zhixian was a little disappointed, rested for many days, and was in good spirits at this time, but there was no case for him to try for the first trial, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Among the officials, some people are very clever, knowing that the county lord wants to do something for everyone to see, so he said that at the beginning of the month, Li Goudan in the west of the city said that Wang Yuan's foreign family owed him the fish money and did not give it, and the county lord could check it.

Chen Zhixian thought about it, small things are also things, since he reported the case, he still went to investigate, so he asked who would go?

Although it was already autumn, the weather was still very hot, and no one wanted to run out on a hot day, and no one answered.

Yang Congyi was looking for something to do, so he hurriedly answered.
