Chapter 20 It is not good for officials to go out of school

"What's that?" Wei Tingkui stopped Wang Huizu, who wanted to rush over to find out, and instinctively dragged him back a few steps.

It's no wonder he's so vigilant, there have been so many things going on in the past few moments, from the sudden departure of the yamen without warning, to the verdict being changed unconsciously, all of this he feels strange.

Although it has not yet been ascertained how the fire burned a few days ago, since the verdict was made by the white-eyed wolf who ate the inside and out, it is logical that the fire was suspected of him.

"Great, sir!" A familiar voice sounded in his ears, Wei Tingkui took a closer look, hey! It turned out to be Takuko Ko.

"You dog slave ......"

Wei Tingkui was about to get angry, but when he heard Xiao Zhuozi's sincere and frightened look, he continued to stammer: "Xiao Zhuozi has come to send shoes to Wang, Wang, and Master Wang!" Rushed, rushed into the adult, and please punish the adult! ”

Ever since she learned that there was a problem with the verdict she was in charge of escorting, the frightened little Zhuozi was completely left with sequelae, and she began to slurred her speech and stammered as soon as she was afraid.

Fortunately, there was such a problem, so that Wei Tingkui, who had planned to punish him severely, burst out laughing: "Are you a dog?" ”

Xiao Zhuozi replied without hesitation as he replied to Wang Huizu just now: "Back to the big and the big, the small ones are pigs." ”

Wei Tingkui smiled and said, "No wonder! Pigs are not stupid, I'm sorry for you! ”

Xiao Zhuozi touched his head and smiled stupidly: "Hehe, Wang, Wang, Master Wang said the same." ”

Wei Tingkui said: "Okay, for the sake of your stupid physiognomy, this official will exempt you from the crime of collision!" ”

Xiao Zhuozi was overjoyed, and immediately knelt on the ground to thank him: "Thank you for your kindness!" ”

"Get up!" Wei Tingkui pointed to the black and dirty thing on the ground with a mushy smell and frowned, "You just said that this is Master Wang's...... Boots? ”

After speaking, Wei Tingkui's eyes couldn't help but stay on Wang Huizu's two injured feet after some searching.

The pain, combined with the temperature of the ground, had already arched his feet into two miniature bridges of flesh. The ten fingers and heels act as fulcrums to provide limited space between the injured soles of the feet and the ground.

Xiao Zhuozi glanced at Wang Huizu with an uncertain gaze, and after receiving a nod from Wang Huizu in response, he nodded vigorously and replied: "Exactly!" ”

Wei Tingkui frowned a little unbearably and said, "Master Wang's feet are injured like that, where can I still wear shoes?" Besides, what are you going to do with these shoes when they're burned like this? Why don't you hurry up and send someone to make a few new pairs for Master Wang? ”

Xiao Zhuozi looked quite embarrassed, and he was stunned in place for a long time without moving a step. After hesitating for a long time, he said hesitantly: "My lord, these boots are thrown away, that Master Wang...... How to get back? ”

Wei Tingkui said without hesitation: "How can I go back?" Of course you carried him back! Stupid pig! ”

"Oh!" Xiao Zhuozi, who had been scolded, finally relieved himself, bent down and picked up the black and broken boots that had accidentally fallen to the ground due to panic just now, looked around, and waved his hand to a housekeeper who was cleaning the yard not far away.

Jiading trotted all the way over, bowed to Wei Tingkui and Master Wang one by one, and then turned around and asked Xiao Zhuozi with a smile What did he command, Xiao Zhuozi stuffed the two boots into his arms, said help me throw him, and walked quickly to Wang Huizu, picked up Wang Huizu and walked to the bedroom.

It wasn't until he walked out of the five zhang away and made sure that the county magistrate had returned to the room, that he lowered his voice and carefully said the thing he had been worried about: "Master Wang, the matter of the verdict ......"

Wang Huizu lay on his back and replied to him lightly: "Don't worry, it's almost done." With a word, the big stone that was pressing on Xiao Zhuozi's heart was completely lifted.

At this time, the official who was shouldering the heavy responsibility was stepping on the horse and preparing to rush back, and met Qin Xiong who came back from going out to run errands.

"Hey, this guy doesn't seem to be right today!" Qin Xiong, who was on horseback, looked at his back and muttered to himself thoughtfully.

"What's wrong, Master Qin, is there something wrong?" The masked guy saw the clue at a glance.

"Hey, I can't say what's wrong, but it just doesn't feel right." Qin Xiong said with a frown.

"You mean, his hands?" The masked guy asked.

"Yes! Looking at the thickness of the bandage, it seems that the injury is not light! By the way, did we meet Liu Langzhong when we came back? Qin Xiong seriously recalled every detail just now.

"Yes, what does the master mean that his hand was injured in the yamen?" The masked guy said casually.

"You go to the government office immediately, send a message to the chief butler, and ask him to pay close attention to this official's movements!" Qin Xiong seemed to suddenly remember something very important, and his speed of speech was a little hurried.

"Good! I'll go! The masked little man quickly stepped onto his horse and galloped away with his whip.

Let's say that after the official took a look at Qin Xiong, he went straight to the mansion non-stop, even if the tightly wrapped wound on his hand was blown by the cold wind, it didn't make him slack off in the slightest.

At this moment, he has only one goal in his heart, that is, to complete the task assigned to him by Master Wang as soon as possible, after all, it is a matter of his life, and he cannot be allowed to be a little sloppy.

Cautious, he didn't know that Qin Xiong had already understood everything with the small wound on his hand, and when he hurried back to the house, Qin Xiong's people had already taken the path to the mansion before him.

"Is the prefect here?"

These were the first words of the official after jumping off the horse.

"It's no coincidence, the adults just went out! Yo! Brother Wang, how did you get this hand? It was fine when you went out...... Why did it take a while to wrap up the strips of cloth? ”

The doorkeeper at the gate pointed to the injured hand of the official as if he had been gnawed by a dog, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh, it's fine! I accidentally fell off my horse and scratched a little skin, so don't make a fuss! I'm going in first! The official tied the horse to a nearby tree, pretended to be calm and patted the doorman on the shoulder with his injured hand, and walked into the government compound with a smile.

The servants in the compound were busy with their own business, and no one noticed his step. The official took a deep breath, wrapped his shirt tightly, lowered his head slightly, crossed the long road, and quickened his pace towards the prefect's study.

The door of the study was not closed, but it was hidden as usual, and the official looked around, and the maids in charge of cleaning were not there, and it was quiet inside, and there was no one.

On the large crimson pear wood desk in the room, there was a pile of thick documents, and next to the documents was a seal, which was the official seal of the prefect.

"As long as you put a seal, you can hide from the world! When the time comes, as long as I grit my teeth and insist that this is the previous verdict, who can help me if there is no evidence! Thinking of this, the official took a deep breath again, put his hand into his arms, and prepared to take out the verdict that Wang Huizu handed over to him.

As soon as the verdict was taken out, a gloomy voice sounded behind him: "Wang Dabing, what are you doing in the adult's study?" ”

It's not good, it's Steward Li!

The official was shocked, quickly withdrew the documents in his hand, turned around in a panic, and didn't know how to answer: "Steward Li, this, I ...... I'm here to ......."

Steward Li's eyes fell sharply on the document in the official's hand, and said in an interested tone: "Show me, what do you want to do?" ”

The official hurriedly protected the unstamped life guarantee book: "No! ”

The big butler's face sank, and he walked in front of him with steady steps, staring at his eyes with burning eyes that had nowhere to dodge, and said aggressively: "What? Is there anything unsavvy about this? ”

The official was even more incoherent: "Yes, ah, no, no, no, absolutely not!" ”

The chief butler snatched the official document from his hand: "No? What are you shaking without here? ”

When the official document was unfolded, the expressions on the faces of the two seemed to be carved out of a mold, the same unexpected, the same stunned.

In the Wuxi County Ya, the county magistrate Wei Tingkui was restlessly wandering around the house in a worried state. Seeing that the sky is almost dark, why hasn't Wang Dabing sent a message yet?

It's a good plan, but it's too risky.

In case the prefect finds out......

Thinking of this, Wei Tingkui, who had always been timid, immediately rushed out of the room and trotted all the way to Wang Huizu's bedroom regardless of his image.

What official tone, what walking posture? What square step?

When the life of the family is threatened, these props used for posturing on weekdays become insignificant and worthless at this moment.

Wang Huizu was leaning on the bed at the moment, his feet resting on the folded quilt, and his posture was very inelegant holding the book and reading with relish.

Seeing Wei Tingkui coming, Wang Huizu quickly withdrew his feet, got up, and prepared to get out of bed to greet him. But before the idea could be put into action, it was stopped by Wei Tingkui's hand: "Master Wang doesn't have to be polite, hurry up and lie down, lie down!" ”

Wang Huizu smiled awkwardly: "My lord, why are you here?" ”

Wei Tingkui casually dragged a chair and sat down, and sighed lightly: "Hey, isn't this official in a hurry?" Master Wang, you say, will something happen to Wang Dabing? I don't have a shadow after this point, and I always feel unsure. ”
