Chapter 25: Being a Conscience Officer

The custom of getting married in Shixi Village is no different from other places, and on the day of marriage, the groom goes to the bride's house at dusk to pick up the newlyweds. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The bride will go to her in-law's house to worship heaven and earth under the escort of welcoming relatives and sending relatives, and the bride will be sent to the cave house after worshipping heaven and earth.

The groom will socialize outside, mainly to accompany the person who sent the relatives to drink, after the banquet is dispersed, the mother-in-law's family will send the relatives out of the village, the person who sent the relatives back to their own home, the groom into the cave room, the gift is completed.

Yesterday, the Niu family was the relatives of Shen Shi to welcome, and the banquet was held at the time of You, and the banquet gradually dispersed around three o'clock, and there were no people from other villages left in the Niu family at the time.

Zhang Liu sent the congratulatory gift to Niu's house the day before yesterday, and yesterday she got up early in the morning to go into the city, and when she returned to the village, it was almost dark.

She didn't participate in the Niu family's marriage from beginning to end, she didn't know what guests came to the Niu family, and she didn't know when the banquet was dispersed.

Zhou Ning asked a lot of questions in a scattered manner, and only then did he order, "You go back and wait, and leave the hall." ”

Zhang Liu's stunned reaction couldn't be answered, how could it be over after asking? She kowtowed in confusion and got up from the ground.

Standing on his legs for a while, he slowly straightened up, turned around and walked backwards, and took a step with his knees on fire. It hurts spicy.

complained, she was the smoothest, and went directly to the lobby, which is the luck that many people can't envy. However, such a lucky thing is also very sinful.

Not to mention anything else, it's hard to kneel on the ground alone, Zhang Liu's case is very simple, and there are not many questions, and she also knelt for nearly an hour, and her knees are broken.

Those who are willing to go to the yamen to file a complaint are all open-minded, and who is willing to sue easily? The court trial is not once or twice, and if you have a new clue, you have to pass it to the court, and just kneeling is like a punishment.

Zhou Ning also knew the complainant's suffering, and the rules in his lobby had been loosened a lot. But the public officials have to kneel, and the complaint has to kneel and reply, and these court rules are not something he can change.

Other people's halls have strict rules, like Zhang Liu's who kowtow to the door when they enter the door, they will be scolded, and they will be scolded if they can't understand the official language, so scared that the accuser will tremble when he speaks, and then he will blame the accuser for flouting the rules of the hall.

How can anyone dare to raise their heads and look directly at the county officials? Take a look at the person who was at least beaten to the point of crying dad and calling mother. Zhou Ning never cared about these, no one publicized the rules of the hall to the people, and those who did not know were not guilty.

Zhang Liu walked out of the county office in despair, and the sun was already shining on his body coldly. She slowly raised her head to look at the sunset, and the corners of her grin seemed to laugh but cried.

Yesterday was also this time, and she rushed to the ferry to catch the boat. She carried the embroidery work she had just received, the rouge she had just bought for her sister-in-law, and dozens of copper plates that she had just sold her tofu for.

Today is still this time, and she is disheartened and walks to the ferry to catch the boat. She had blood marks on her body that had just come out of her knees, tears that she had just cried, and scars that she couldn't erase from her heart.

As soon as Zhou Ning walked out of the main hall, he saw Lu Qing waiting for him at the door, and he asked listlessly: "Something?" ”

"It's okay, I just want to ask when you are going to Qinghe Village?" Lu Qing took the black yarn hat that Zhou Ning took off smoothly: "The Baozheng of their village sent a letter saying that the flood control embankment has been repaired. ”

"It's repaired, it's fixed, what am I going to do?" Zhou Ning frowned, his stomach was worried, how could he be in the mood to go out to play?

Zhou Ning knew what Lu Qing meant, he just wanted to go to Qinghe Village to play by inspecting the flood control embankment. Baozheng in Qinghe Village is very enthusiastic, and he didn't have enough of it last time.

The flood control levee in Qinghe Village is simply a fool's project, and a three-year-old doll can kick it down. provoked Zhou Ning to be furious, the county is not rich, squeezed out money to let them repair the flood control embankment, and ended up making such a papier-mâché thing?

Needless to say, the money must have been greedy by Baozheng, Zhou Ning asked him to repair the flood control embankment within a time limit, and everything is repaired, if it is not repaired, it should be one and two, see you in the lobby.

Bao Zheng was so frightened by Zhou Ning that he was urinating, and when he saw Lu Qing smiling and talking, he begged Lu Qing to say a few good words for him. Lu Qing agreed, but he agreed, and he didn't say a word of kindness for him.

He was quite generous, but Lu Qing was timid and didn't dare to take a copper plate. Eating, drinking, and having fun didn't cost less, but the money was all paid by Lu Qing himself.

Lu Qing has liked to play music since he was a child, and Zhou Ning doesn't restrain him, money, it doesn't matter. The Zhou family is a family of eunuchs, although his father was dismissed and returned to his hometown, but the family background is not thin, and he has no power and wealth.

Lu Qing is a slave of the Zhou family, his parents are descendants of the Zhou family, he has been with Zhou Ning since he was a child, and he has been learning to serve his son since he was five or six years old.

The Zhou family is very strict with family education, and they are lenient with their subordinates, but they are not lenient with their sons. Zhou Ning got up early and studied hard day and night, and Lu Qing went crazy.

The next person doesn't need to study, Lu Qing just carries a schoolbag for Zhou Ning every day, sends Zhou Ning to the school in the morning, and picks him up in the evening, and the rest of the time he is casual, what else can he do except spend money?

As long as it is not contaminated, it is not. Good atmosphere, he can do whatever he wants, and he has developed a good habit of pretending to be wide and small everywhere. accompanied his son to Beijing to catch the exam, and made him happy as if he was going to heaven.

He had a good time in the capital, Zhou Ning had no time to pay attention to him before the exam, and after the exam, Jin Dian Ceming was angry again, thanks to Lu Qing who took him to play every day.

Coming to Yunjiang County to take office, Lu Qing thought that this time the emperor was far away, and the prince had never restrained him, and he could be at ease like a fairy, but he didn't expect Yunjiang County to be such a poor and remote country, and there was nothing fun.

Since he was a child, he has been looking forward to his son-in-law being named on the gold list, becoming a big official, and he is also majestic. Who knew that being an official would have been sinned.

Zhou Ning has lost more than ten pounds since he took office less than three months ago, he can't eat or sleep well, sometimes he can't even drink water when he is busy, he runs around all day long, and he is so tired that he runs around without touching the ground.

Qinghe County has a good environment, Lu Qing likes it very much, he doesn't want to go because he is playful, but because he wants Zhou Ning to relax.

Where does Zhou Ning dare to relax? The nerves were straightened. The murder case reported by Zhang Liu has no clue. He had to get to the scene as soon as possible, and the sooner he went, the more likely he was to find any clues.

Zhou Ning returned to the back office and began to change his clothes, Lu Qing saw that he was about to set off again, and sighed helplessly: "I said son, it's really not okay if we don't do this official, I think you might as well enjoy yourself at home as an official." ”

"Being an official is not about enjoying happiness." Zhou Ning has his own ideals, although they are small, but they are very realistic, that is, to be an official worthy of conscience.
