Chapter 33 The eight-character yamen needs to give gifts

At present, Li Mi wants to punish these widows, but he is a little powerless, after all, in addition to helpers like Yuan Keli and Xiang Mu, there are only the children in Yaxing left.

However, the enemy is a Japanese spy organization hidden in Suzhou City, and even in the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, Li Mi does not know how many enemies there are, nor where the enemies are, let alone how powerful the enemy is!

Blind self-confidence is arrogance, and Li Mi must know the root cause before it is possible to do this.

But from what means or channels should we investigate this organization of the Japanese Invaders?

In Li Mi's view, the Zhang family is a good way, although Xie Yingluo and himself are incompatible enemies, but in the face of major rights and wrongs, his personal grievances with Xie Yingluo may be temporarily put aside.

But this is also his wishful thinking, Zhang Jianai is a folk giant who fights against Japanese people along the coast, whether people can take a fancy to him as a small person, or two things, at least Xie Yingluo looks down on him very much, hates and even hates him Li Mi.

Although Lu Chongning loves the Zhang family deeply, he is just a showman, and the Zhang family has always hidden it from him, so it is impossible for the Zhang family to sell Lu Chongning's face in this matter and hand over such key information to Li Mi.

In this way, Li Mi can only have one last way left, which is to start investigating by himself.

As for how to investigate, he also has a general direction and clues, and this month's time is just right for him to check who killed the Zhang family, and by the way, correct the name of the Zhang family!

Didn't the bitter masters of the dozen or so old cases come to the county government to make trouble? Wasn't he instigated by the Japanese to convict Zhang's crime and nail Zhang's to the pillar of shame?

Then he Li Mi will reveal all the identities of these people, so that everyone knows that these people are the fine works of the Japanese robbers!

Although these people are dead, and the timeliness of the case is also debatable, since these sufferers have been brought out again, the government has to intervene.

For Jian Dingyong, the credit for the meticulous work of searching for the Japanese is definitely greater than the investigation of old cases, he is a shrewd person, and he should be able to make correct judgments.

After thinking of this, Li Mi also set a plan of action for the future, and said to Xiang Mu.

"I didn't expect this little thing to take such effort, it seems that this player is not so easy to be, and it has been hard for Xiang Xiang to grow old during this time..."

Xiang Mu seemed to have finally pulled his mind out of the dragon coffin, and smiled at Li Mi: "The young man can send such an interesting thing, the old man is too late to be grateful, wait until the old man unties the dragon coffin, see if he is satisfied with Shi Lao'er's clothes!" ”

Xiang Mu seemed to be ignited again, and Li Mi couldn't help but sigh, thinking that it was precisely because he kept tinkering with those collections, and fought with Shi Chongsheng, and always maintained such a positive attitude, that Xiang Mu had such vitality and a young mentality.

Li Mi also smiled, and when he was about to leave, Yuan Keli secretly glanced at Xiang Mu, Xiang Mu nodded slightly, and then called out to Li Mi.

He asked Li Mi, "Are you going to go to the county office?" Wu Yong did such a thing, if he sued it, he would not be able to do it, young man, you are like Liqing, you are smart and meticulous people, if you can get the power of the secretary, it will be easier to do things..."

Li Mi had already told them about the origin of the thirty-six dragon coffins, and even told Xiang Mu the inside story of the Zhang family and this case.

After all, Yuan Keli had also investigated this case, and the progress of the investigation was even higher than that of Li Mi, when Li Mi went to peek at the file earlier, it wasn't Yuan Keli who was the first to get there, so for these two people, Li Mi had nothing to hide.

Whether it was Yuan Keli or Xiang Mu, they didn't have a good impression of Xu Yi, and Wu Yong did such a thing, in their opinion, Li Mi replaced Wu Yong, which is understandable.

However, Li Mi shook his head and said: "How Wu Yong is a person, Jian Zhixian must be clear, but he has been working in the position of a priest, and he should have his ability to think about it, even if he is incompetent, I will not report it behind my back..."

As soon as Li Mi said this, Yuan Keli and Xiang Mu couldn't help but light up their eyes, as if they were appreciating, this is what a gentleman does!

However, Li Mi changed his words again, and continued: "However, although I will not report him, I have already advised him to surrender to the first place, whether he will wake up or be obsessed, I hope he can do it himself." ”

When Xiang Mu and Yuan Keli heard this, they couldn't help but look at Li Mi again, although this kid is not very old, he is calm and moderate, and he is benevolent and righteous to Wu Yong, he does not tolerate adultery, nor does he fall into the ground, Li Mi does have a gentleman's demeanor.

Xiang Mu nodded approvingly, and then said to Li Mi: "The old man and Liqing are no longer in the officialdom, and it is not good to meddle in the place, but since you are determined to do something for the people, we will not stand idly by, although Jian Dingyong is a little sophisticated, but he is also a good official, you have to go to the county government and send him something for me." ”

When Li Mi heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, Jian Dingyong had always wanted to cling to Xiang Mu, and now that he had brought Xiang Mu's gift over, the things he wanted to talk about would be appropriate!

"The boy should do his own thing." Li Mi readily agreed, but Xiang Mu did not turn around and go back to the room, but glanced around the flower hall, and finally pointed to the upper half of the tea cake on the coffee table, and said to Li Mi.

"There's nothing else, so I'll give him this half of a tea cake."

"Half a tea cake?" Li Mi couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart that Xiang Mu even gave him the cigarette set he wanted to buy for the first time, how could he be so stingy with Jian Dingyong?

Yuan Keli looked distressed, and scolded Li Mi: "It's not wrong to say that you are a cow peony!" Laymen who have no eyesight! Hurry up and get your things and leave, or I'll curse someone! ”

Li Mi didn't understand why Yuan Keli was suddenly angry, although he didn't understand the tea ceremony, but looking at Yuan Keli's means of making tea, he knew that Yuan Keli was a tea ceremony master, and he felt so sorry for this half cake and tea brick, which indirectly explained the problem.

The things of the big collector Xiang Mu can be taken out casually, can they be ordinary goods?

Thinking like this in his heart, Li Mi also smiled, put the tea cake back in the wooden box, and left the Xiang Mansion happily.

Xu is Xiang Mu and Yuan Keli were busy deciphering the dragon coffin, and the subordinates did not get permission, so they did not prepare a sedan chair for Li Mi, and Li Mi did not take the initiative to speak, so he had to walk to the county office.

Today's announcement, there are also a lot of people, the county government is very busy, and the bitter lord came to make trouble earlier, and the manpower has been sent out to investigate the case, which is even more stretched.

Li Mi is not too public, when he came to the gate, he said that he was looking for Jian Zhi County, and the official estimated that he was temporarily on duty, and he didn't recognize Li Mi, the "county ya, a celebrity", seeing that he was wearing coarse cloth clothes, stepping on strange leather shoes, and wearing a square scarf on his head, he was weird and weird, and he didn't have a good face.

Li Mi wanted to stuff him with a few gifts, but unfortunately most of the silver given by the Lu family, Li Mi helped the children in Yaxing, even if he had some silver on him, he had to think about his livelihood in the future, and how could he be cheap.

Although Li Mi didn't understand the rules and didn't stuff money, everyone saw that the official was not easy to attack, so he could only go back to report it.

The people on the platform who were fighting lawsuits, seeing that Li Mi didn't give money, also shook their heads secretly, saying that they didn't understand the rules, where could they do anything?

However, the official quickly trotted out, but he put on a flattering smile and politely welcomed Li Mi in.

Li Mi naturally didn't care about these trivial things, and followed him to the second hall, where Jian Dingyong and Master Qian were acting for official business, and the official documents on the table were also piled up.

Master Qian also frowned when he saw Li Mi coming, but Jian Dingyong stopped and asked Li Mi.

"Li Mi, what's the matter with coming here today? It's not good for you kid to come here every time..."

Jian Dingyong can still tease, which shows his attitude towards Li Mi.

Li Mi stepped forward, ignoring the history and master, and lowered his voice and said to Jian Dingyong: "Can the Ming Mansion borrow a step to speak?" ”

Jian Dingyong glanced at it, the history and the masters hurriedly lowered their heads, he thought about it, then stood up and said to Li Mi: "Then follow me." ”

Li Mi followed Jian Dingyong to the curtain hall on the left side of the second hall, and waited for Jian Dingyong to sit down, and then asked him.

"Dare to ask my lord, has Commander Wu ever been to the county government today?"

Li Mi asked straightforwardly, and Jian Dingyong also replied very directly: "Wu Yong has indeed been here, I guess you also know, he will not be able to do it as a priest in the future..."

Jian Dingyong glanced at it, Li Mi was not too surprised, and he continued: "Although this Wu Yong is as good as his name, mediocre and talentless, he is also quick and diligent, but the county's heavy work is heavy, and the torture room is the most important, but it is not diligent and competent..."

Li Mi also knew in his heart that Jian Dingyong took the initiative to talk about the situation in the torture room, he should have known that Li Mi was interested in entering the torture room, otherwise there would be no need to talk so nonsense.

However, Jian Dingyong changed his words and said: "But... Li Mi, you are not a scholar in the end, but you underestimate the Xu officials, everyone thinks that the Xu officials are lowly, but they don't know that many Xu officials are from Xiucai, although they can't pass the exam, but they are really talented, don't say anything else, our Master Qian is the old Xiucai at the beginning of Wanli..."

Jian Dingyong is getting farther and farther away, but Li Mi is becoming more and more clear in his heart that Jian Dingyong is nothing more than knocking on the side, hinting to Li Mi that it is impossible for him to get the position of secretary.

Li Mi also learned from Yuan Keli that although the secretary is not an official, he also has a lot of authority in the county government, the county order is a watermelon and sesame seeds, the county and the main book have no real power, the history is the general manager, and the six-room secretary is the backbone of the real work.

I don't know how many people have spent manpower and financial resources for the position of the secretary, and if you look at Wu Yong's family background, you will have an intuitive understanding.

Li Mi didn't say that he had to be this secretary, he just needed a proper name, so that he could investigate the case justifiably, as for the size of his authority, he didn't care.

Of course, the greater the authority and the more resources can be mobilized, the more helpful it will be to solve the case, but nothing can be forced.

"What the Ming Mansion said, I understand it below, but the Ming Mansion should know that there is a way to aspire to criminal names, although there is no fame, but when it comes to recourse and investigation, I think I still have a little bit of power, and I only want to investigate the case, and I don't pay much attention to other things."

Li Mi is also showing his attitude, his arrival will not threaten and shake the status of other people in the county government, he just wants to investigate the case well.

But the speaker has no intention, the listener has the intention, you don't have this intention, not everyone thinks so.

Li Mi didn't want to explain too much, and when he saw Jian Dingyong's hesitation, he took out Xiang Mu's tea box and said to Jian Dingyong.

"Ming Mansion, this is a gift from Xiang Lao Zhongshu to you."

Jian Dingyong saw Li Mi with a box early on, thinking that Li Mi was buying the official's gold and silver, but he didn't expect it to be Xiang Mu's gift, and his eyes couldn't help but light up!
