Song Zhiwei was considerate enough, and Li Mi also understood the kindness, and smiled at Song Zhi: "Don't you dare to say this, after all, the lower official is the governor, and he often doesn't sit in the hall to sign the detention, and it's not a matter, do you have any cases to hand over to me?" ”

Song Zhiwei also knew Li Mi's temperament, and immediately smiled at Li Mi and said, "The cases are piled up, but I'm afraid you won't be able to look at it." ”

Li Mi also smiled: "The lower officials are originally errands, cases are cases, there is no difference between big and small, no matter how small the case, there are also victims, aren't we the people's defenders?" ”

Although Li Mi spoke half-jokingly, Song Zhiwei was solemn and said to Li Mi: "What a people's guard, Brother Li Xian's mind is really admirable!" ”

Li Mi didn't smile anymore, and said seriously: "This is where the duty lies, don't you dare to hold your own ......"

The two exchanged pleasantries again, and Song Zhiwei asked Li Mi about his injuries and confirmed that he could walk without hindrance, so he brought Li Mi to the signing room.

After all, Li Mi is a matter of nine grades, much higher than those scribes, so there is a small signing room, which is different from the number room of those scribes.

After arriving in the signing room, Song Zhiwei asked people to send a bunch of files over, and said to Li Mi: "These are all backlogged, both horizontal and vertical are small cases, you can take measures if you can take measures, and if you can't deal with them, it's okay to keep them." ”

Li Mi smiled and said: "My lord, this is questioning my ability, don't worry, I will do it beautifully and properly!" ”

Li Mi was also full of energy, and immediately patted his chest to reassure, Song Zhiwei also smiled, nodded Li Mi and said: "You can't say too much, but you said it yourself, no matter how small it is, it's a case, and if you can't do it, keep it, but don't allow arbitrary judgment, otherwise the official will not spare you!" ”

Li Mi also responded with a smile, and after Song Zhiwei left, he took a serious look at the dossier.

These cases are really trivial, but they are all relative, because there are Wu County and Changzhou County in Suzhou City, and ordinary small disputes have actually been resolved by these two county governments.

can be sent to the torture hall, and the backlog cannot be solved by the end of the year, even if it is trivial, it is nonsensical trivial.

Li Mi read a few pages, the first is the case of killing cattle, the farmer's cattle outside the city died inexplicably, but earlier there was a quarrel with someone in the field, and the other party threatened to kill his whole family, as a result, the ploughing cow stepped on the pit that night, broke the leg of the cow, the farmer brought someone to the door, but the threat had alibi evidence, the two sides argued endlessly, and sued the government.

In ancient times, it was a social form dominated by farming, and all dynasties paid great attention to the protection of cattle, and it was a big crime to kill cattle, and it is no exaggeration to say that the life of cattle in ancient times was more expensive than human life.

As for romance novels such as the Water Margin, cutting two catties of cooked beef and sifting three or five catties of spirits at every turn is too exaggerated, although there are also people who eat beef, but most of them are rich and noble, where do ordinary people see beef.

In this case, after the cow broke its leg, it could no longer plow the field, so it could only be reported to the government and allowed to kill the cow only after obtaining approval.

Going back a little bit further in history, after the cattle are killed, only the beef can be disposed of by itself, and the rest cannot be bought and sold privately.

Because cowhide can be used to make armor, and cow tendon and horn can be used to make bows and arrows, these things are considered prohibited goods.

Although this case seems nonsensical, but in fact the motive is the royal way to solve the case, digging a trap halfway, trying his best, but harming the cow is not harmful, if the cow is harmed, it is just to poison the cow to death, but it is just to break the cow's leg, this motive is obvious.

This person must have wanted to eat beef, but he had no reason to do so, so he dug a trap and broke the leg of the cow, so that he could justifiably kill the cow and eat the meat, and as for who the real culprit was, just ask who the cow sold to, and it will be clear.

Li Mi thought about it, checked and filled in the gaps, and then wrote down his case-handling policy, put the file on the other side, and looked at other cases.

Although these cases are just small things in the neighborhood, they are difficult to distinguish and decide, or it takes a long time or a lot of manpower to investigate, and the value of handling the case is not worth the manual work, and the entire fire brigade is dispatched to rescue a pet cat on the telephone pole, which is unlikely to be seen in ancient times.

Therefore, a large part of the backlog of cases is the lowest priority, so it has been postponed, in fact, those parties who filed a complaint are afraid that they are not willing to come to the yamen again, and most of them are also unfinished.

It is precisely because of this that Li Mi's efficiency is also very high, after all, he has a lot of criminal investigation literacy and vision, and many cases were in the eyes of people at the time, but Li Mi did not have preconceived ideas, starting from the purest motives, in line with the principle of who benefits and who commits the crime, and it was quickly dealt with.

After all, these are not earth-shattering cases, let alone murder cases, one or two cases of armed fighting are also clearly written, Li Mi will write down the guidance for handling the case, and the torture hall will raise a monkey who can only understand words, and this matter can be done.

In this way, he was busy in the signing room until three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Mi's eyes were also sore, after all, he was injured, and after sitting for a long time, his blood was backlogged, and his hands and feet were numb, so Li Mi also stopped, planning to go out to smoke a cigarette, breathe, and go to the dining room to eat something by the way.

When Li Mi walked outside, the scribes were also taking a lunch break, and most of them had just returned from the dining room, pacing to eat, and chatting with each other.

In the past, they could still take a nap for an hour, but the end of the year was approaching and things were too busy, so they didn't take a nap anymore.

Xu was Song Zhiwei who distributed all the local products left by Li Mi during the period when Li Mi was in custody, and Xu Song Zhiwei told everyone that Li Mi had been supporting Cao Jian'an and others' families.

Li Mi always felt that the eyes of these people were a lot friendlier, or maybe he had been busy since the morning, and when he handed over the thick file to the detention department of the Torture Hall, everyone admired his ability to handle the case.

Especially after a little glance and a quick glance at Li Mi's case, he nodded frequently.

Li Mi didn't understand ancient Chinese, and he was not good at those crepe characters, so he wrote in the vernacular, which was easy to understand, and he didn't need to translate it to those catchers and officials, which saved a lot of trouble.

The priest handed over the file to Cao Si again, and Cao Si sent it to Song Zhiwei, and everyone looked at it layer by layer, and they all felt that it was efficient and stable, and they were also impressed by Li Mi's ability.

Now that Li Mi walked out of the signing room, these scribes and librarians were no longer hostile, and some of those who had known Li Mi were now smiling, which was regarded as a greeting.

Li Mi didn't have much of a fight, and he wasn't cold, so he responded one by one, walked out of the lobby, lit a cigarette stick, walked slowly with a limp, and smoked slowly.

After leaving the torture hall, Li Mi walked to the dining hall of the government office, this dining hall also has rules, it seems that the prefect and others stay here to eat, of course, it is a single set meal.

And ordinary scribes can only eat a big pot of rice, different levels, the quality of the food is also different, Li Mi is the governor of Jiupin, this is just the standard of two meats, one vegetable and one soup, but he is recuperating from his injuries, Chen Heguang or Song Zhiwei should have reminded the canteen, and the dishes are naturally different from others.

Fortunately, everyone else had already finished eating, and when Li Mi arrived, there were not many people in the dining hall.

Li Mi was also a little embarrassed, after all, people were opening a small stove for themselves, and it was approaching the end of the year, so they rewarded each person with dozens of dollars.

The canteen is a place where you can make serious money and water, most of them are the relatives of the officials, and the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and these people are also accustomed to their hands and feet, and they are not polite to Li Mi, and they are happy to accept the reward.

These small sums of money are nothing to Li Mi, but for these people, they are already very rich rewards.

Originally, the prefect told them to open a small stove for Li Mi, but they didn't dare to have resentment in their hearts, this was also an opportunity for them to perform, and they could get a reward, and they were even more attentive to Li Mi.

Li Mi doesn't have any special needs for food, and he doesn't know how to taste and appreciate, this canteen invites authentic Suzhou chefs, and the taste is excellent.

However, when those officials came to eat, they all held the shelves of the Sven people, even if they were delicious, they also said a few words, but they were judging the tastes, pointing out the dishes, and one by one they became gourmets, how to make it more delicious.

Although Li Mi didn't say a word and only cared about eating, the appearance of him eating in a big gulp really made people drool when they looked at it, which was also the biggest affirmation of the cooks.

After coming out of the dining hall, Li Mi was also satisfied, and was about to go back to the detention room to continue the struggle, but he heard someone shouting in front of the ya, and as soon as he was full, he walked over and took a look.

But I saw a man in a short jacket, who was shouting in front of the ya, and did not announce it today, the officials wanted to stop it, and the two sides argued, and it was inevitable to push and shove, and the man in the short jacket was pushed to the ground, and the good deeds came to support again, saying that the officials were fighting on the side, shouting and scolding, and gradually it became lively.

After all, Li Mi is an errand boy, and he is wearing a green official uniform today, just to see the excitement, and want to hear what happened, but when the man saw Li Mi, he ignored the obstruction of the officials, bumped in, hugged Li Mi's thigh, and begged.

"Lord Qingtian wants to avenge the villain! I beg the lord to be the master of the people! ”

Li Mi already had an injury on his leg, and being hugged by him like this involved the pain, and he grinned his teeth, but when he saw that this person was crying pitifully, he bent down to help him up and said to him.

"Men don't flick when they have tears, what are you doing this for?"

The officials know Li Mi, this is a celebrity in front of the prefect and the magistrate, how can these sluts be offended!

They immediately rushed up, tore the man away, held him with water and fire sticks, and scolded him: "Dare to disrupt the people, how dare you rush into the official grandfather, how to beg for a beating!" ”

Seeing this, Li Mi didn't mean to blame the officials, after all, he had also been a fast shift officer, and he knew the hardships of this errand, so he said to the officials.

"A few big brothers are bothered, it's okay, let him get up and say, what is the purpose of such a fuss, if it can be solved, I will help you take a look, so as not to make trouble all day long, it is not good to see the need of the magistrate."

As soon as Li Mi said this, the officials also felt that it made sense, so they let the man go, and the man was also grateful when he saw that Li Mi was good at talking.

Li Mi pinched his shoulder and said to him: "You calm down first, it's not a way to make such a fuss, now that the official has given you this opportunity, you should explain the matter clearly, how can you still cry and cry mother-in-law, if it's just like this, how can you call revenge?" ”

As soon as Li Mi said this, the man really stopped being verbose, wiped his face, took a deep breath, and knelt down towards Li Mi.

"My mother-in-law was killed, and I sued me several times, hoping to catch the murderer, but I didn't see the criticism, and I hope that the eldest master will make the decision for me!"

When Li Mi heard this, he couldn't help but wonder, since someone reported to the official, why didn't he deal with it?
