Xiang Mu used to be a high-ranking person and a big collector, but he was very interesting, so he naturally looked at Li Mi, a strange person with an unfathomable aura.

Yuan Keli strongly recommended Li Mi, and Li Mi showed his own characteristics, and it was natural that Xiang Mu could recognize Li Mi.

After coming out of Xiang Mu's mansion, Li Mi took Xiang Mu's appraisal results and came directly to the county office, hoping that Jian Dingyong could restart the case, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

Although Yuan Keli had the intention to hand over the case to Li Mi and help Li Mi, thinking that Li Mi was a worthy cultivator, he refused Xie Yingluo and no longer touched the case, so he stayed in Xiang Mu's house.

Xiang Mu is an extremely generous person, the set of smoking sets was collected at a high price, but he said that he would send it, in order to save time, he also used the big sedan chair in the house to send Li Mi directly to the county office.

Li Mi is not a hypocritical person, others are bold, so he doesn't have to twist, and he also asked the sedan chair man a lot of anecdotes about Xiang Mu along the way.

However, when the sedan chair arrived at the county office, it couldn't move anymore, so it had to stop.

Li Mi opened the sedan curtain and saw that the front of the yamen was crowded, noisy and bustling, and there were vaguely men and women crying.

The palanquin man also has vision, and Xiang Mu rarely treats others with such courtesy, which shows Li Mi's position in Xiang Mu's heart, so he didn't dare to leave Li Mi directly.

Li Mi watched in the sedan chair for a while, and the sedan chair man inquired about the situation clearly, and said to Li Mi: "Mr. Li, in front of you, there are several bitter masters such as the Zhou family beating drums and complaining, saying that the lady of Maocai Lu Chongning's family is a murderous female devil, and she wants the county master to avenge their Zhaoxue!" ”

"So fast!" The reason why Li Mi hurriedly invited Yuan Keli to go to Xiang Mu's place for help was to determine the case as soon as possible and occupy the nominal initiative.

With Jian Dingyong's temperament, such a mass incident occurred, and Li Mi wanted to overturn the case for the Zhang family, but it would be difficult to reach the sky!

"Brother, this is the sedan chair of the Xiang family, the official doesn't dare to stop it, let's go in through the back door!"

Generally speaking, the county government is a closed building, there was no back door in ancient times, only later, in order to facilitate access, the back door was secretly opened, many people who want to tie up the county officials, want to do some shady deeds, they enter and exit through the back door, which is the origin of "go through the back door".

The sedan chair man originally regarded Li Mi as a master, but now he admires it even more when he hears that Li Mi wants to enter through the back door, because only people who are well versed in officialdom know that there is such an unspoken rule as the back door.

In fact, Li Mi didn't know that the county government had a back door, he just said it casually, if he went back some eras, he was afraid that he would be embarrassed.

The sedan chair arrived at the back door, the sedan chair man stepped forward to knock on the door, Xu is the servants are dealing with the riot in front, after a long time, there is a forty or fifty old mother to answer the door, I heard that it is the sedan chair of the Xiang Mansion, and did not dare to make the decision without authorization, and hurriedly reported back.

This is just a cup of tea, and it is Jian Dingyong who personally led the main book, the county officials, the history and the big and small officials, and came to the back door to greet them!

Li Mi couldn't cry or laugh, Xu was that old mother was also anxious, and Jian Dingyong thought that Xiang Mu himself came in person!

It's just that Li Mi also suspected that Dou was born, Xiang Mu stepped down earlier than Yuan Keli, why did Jian Dingyong respect Xiang Mu so much?

In fact, this is where Li Mi's political shortcomings lie.

Xiang Mu's family is the Tang and Jin Dynasty expectation clan, hundreds of years, can be said to have a long history, these famous families withered with time, can stand still, are extremely profound, even if they are no longer officials, still secretly control the local people's livelihood, said to be county officials, that is, officials of the provincial government, all have to rush to knot!

Moreover, there is such a group incident, Xiang Mu has the intention to rectify Jian Dingyong, and only needs to let his friends in the officialdom submit a chapter to impeach, even if Jian Dingyong successfully quells the incident, his future career will be full of ups and downs, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to be promoted by half a step.

After many officials arrived at the locality, they also deliberately wooed and befriended these local snakes, otherwise these local snakes deliberately created some group sex, and then used this to threaten them, and the county officials fell into passivity.

These are all due to the ecology of local officialdom, but Li Mi has just arrived and has not studied much history, so he is a little confused.

Although he didn't know what to do, he could see that Xiang Mu valued him, and even more deduced that Jian Dingyong was jealous of Xiang Mu, so he had confidence in his heart, and it was no wonder that Yuan Keli would take him to Xiang Mu's place for help, because Xiang Mu's appraisal was the most convincing authority!

Li Mi put down the curtain, took a breath lightly, and then stepped off the sedan chair, Jian Dingyong, who was about to salute, found that the person who came was not Xiang Mu, but Li Mi, and couldn't help but be surprised, and then his heart was furious!

The heart said that this is all burning eyebrows, and Li Mi's-stirring stick is here again!

This anger surged up on his head, and his face turned red, but he quickly calmed down again, because Li Mi was sitting in Xiang Mu's sedan chair and came in through the back door!

Those county officials didn't expect that what came out of Xiang Mu's sedan chair turned out to be a young man wrapped in a cloth scarf, dressed in coarse clothes, and shiny and strange leather shoes, and they all looked at each other.

Most of these people didn't recognize Li Mi, and they were speculating about which nephew Li Mi was Xiang Mu's nephew, and why was he so blind, and the scribes in the torture room were very familiar with Li Mi, and they explained it in private, and everyone was stunned.

"Li Mi, what kind of ugly thing are you making trouble!" Although Jian Dingyong suppressed his anger, he didn't give Li Mi a good face after all.

Li Mi originally wanted to take out Xiang Mu's handwriting appraisal results directly, but this would inevitably bully others, and now that the county government is surrounded by the people, it is impossible to re-investigate Zhang's case.

After thinking about it, Li Mi said to Jian Dingyong: "Xiang Lao Zhongshu knows that there is some trouble in the Ming Mansion, so he specially asked the contemptible people to come over to see if there is anything that can help the Ming Mansion..."

As soon as Li Mi said this, Jian Dingyong's face really looked a lot better, and he nodded slightly at Li Mi and said, "Master Xiang has a heart, then you can come in." ”

Li Mi returned the salute with his fists, and then followed back to the second hall of the county office.

At this time, the second hall had already gathered almost all the deacon management of the entire county government, and everyone was also gossiping, and the whole second hall was like a vegetable market.

After Jian Dingyong returned, he sat down, rubbed his swollen skull vigorously, and was silent.

Those officials and officials are just noisy, but they don't have any constructive opinions or suggestions, after all, everyone is afraid of taking the blame, it's okay to support, and the idea has to be taken by Jian Dingyong in the end.

Jian Dingyong was also upset and irritable, and slapped the shocked wood and said, "Shut up for me!" ”

He is a hard-working official, Suzhou Mansion is an important town in the country, how can he sit in this position without any ability, although the officials are in charge of government affairs, but he is also known as the county lord, and the entire second hall suddenly quieted down.

Seeing this, Jian Dingyong couldn't help sighing, and quickly turned his gaze to Li Mi.

"Li Mi, you said that Boss Xiang asked you to come, what does the boss need to remind you?"

Li Mi also found out about this matter when he arrived at the county office, and talking about Xiang Mu was also pulling the tiger skin and pulling the banner, where did Xiang Mu have anything important to say.

But Li Mi made a good calculation, and at this time he said to Jian Dingyong: "I don't dare to hide the Ming Mansion, earlier, the contemptible people took Chen Shi's suicide note to Xiang Mu's old brother for identification, this suicide note is a forgery of Tuolin, which shows that Zhang's death has another inside story, this is Xiang Lao's handwriting..."

Li Mi submitted the appraisal report, although Jian Dingyong wanted to get angry, but Li Mi changed his mouth and called Xiang Mu his elder brother, he couldn't tell if Li Mi was true or not, and where he dared to attack.

Unfolded it, it was indeed Xiang Mu's handwriting, and Xiang Mu's seal was used, and his heart was even more irritable.

Because he wanted to settle the matter, the Hengzhu Zhang family also died, and the case was untraceable, these people accused the Zhang family of killing more than a dozen people, this matter is inevitably a little appalling, but they said it clearly, and the fatal thing is that even the entire Zhang family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was involved.

This Zhang family is a wealthy martial arts family, and the family is all ruthless characters who fight and kill, and they have done a lot of things to kill people and sell goods, and more than a dozen lives are nothing.

He originally meant to delay it if he could, since these bitter masters believed that the Zhang family was the murderer, and the people were full of grievances, they had to grieve the Zhang family.

But now that Li Mi asked Xiang Mu to intervene in such a kick, he could no longer turn a blind eye, even if he couldn't overturn the case for Zhang, he couldn't let Zhang's be wronged.

I thought that Li Mi really brought good news, but who knew that it would just make matters worse, and Jian Dingyong was naturally uncomfortable.

"This official knows about this matter, what I am asking about is the matter in front of me, what good advice does Elder Xiang Mu have?"

Li Mi saw Jian Dingyong's expression, and knew what he meant, if he didn't come up with some "insight", he really couldn't get by.

In the end, he is a detective of the wild road, he failed to become a people's policeman, and he has little experience in this kind of mass incident.

But he always pays attention to current affairs, and his friends in the circle are also related professions.

For this kind of mass incident, it cannot be blindly suppressed, not to mention that there are still Japanese cowards behind this matter who are instigating and manipulating, if the county government suppresses it, it will definitely cause a greater riot!

I don't know how powerful these would-be works are, after all, there is still a time and space barrier for the spread of news, and they can make trouble all over the city overnight, which shows how deeply these Japanese workers are rooted in Suzhou City.

Therefore, the meticulous work of these widows is the key, but they are hidden in the market, and they can't find out for a while, and Jian Dingyong is still in the dark, and he doesn't know what is behind the Zhang case.

Since the start of the investigation, especially after touching the core of the case, first he was attacked, and then Chen Shi was faked as a suicide, and now the scandal of the Zhang family has been exposed, setting off a trend of the people besieging the county government, and Li Mi has no spare time to investigate.

The black hand in the dark is pressing step by step, what Li Mi needs most at the moment is time, and if he wants to rely on Jian Dingyong to solve the problem, he also needs time to breathe!

After considering all kinds of factors, Li Mi finally gave his advice to Jian Dingyong.
