40. Play big
Di Feng entered Xinning City leisurely, and the tents of the victims were still outside the city, but the victims were surprisingly calm, Di Feng said secretly: "It seems that Wu Dayou still has some real skills, and it is appropriate for this disaster victim to be resettled by him."
When I arrived at the county office, I found that none of the leaders in the county were there, and I found out that something happened to Xinning again, and the old owner of Xie Jiazhai was killed, for Xinning, this is a big disaster, Lai Mingjie, Wu Dayou, and Xie Wuling all went to Baima Village.
It doesn't matter if Xie Meng is dead, after all, Xie Meng is just a head catcher, and the officials have no rank, but Xie Laozhai is different, that is the real Guide to the rank of the sixth grade, and the official body of the Ministry of War has been announced, and the murder of this person is to be reported to the Ministry of War and Dali Temple and then go straight to the sky.
Lai Mingjie was also on his way to Xinning. In the past, he just slandered Di Feng, but at this moment he couldn't suppress his anger anymore, and scolded "This Di Feng is a scourge, since he arrived, first Xie Meng died, and then there were displaced people, this time it's good that Xie Lao Zhai was killed again, how can I put such a broom star, God bless, there has been no news of Di Feng for two days, this broom star can not die in Xinning again, if you die another from Jiupin, my county order will wait to be exiled to Lingnan." ”
"Lai County Ling is not in a hurry, County Lieutenant Di should be fine, you haven't seen the child of County Lieutenant Di's family, isn't he wandering around every day, and he doesn't look anxious at all? Presumably, the little boy should know the whereabouts of Lieutenant Di. Wu Dayou comforted Lai Mingjie.
In the past two days, Chou'er took Erniang every day under the banner of Di Feng, appeared on time among the victims to distribute food, and left Di Feng with the name of a good person among the victims.
Xie Wuling was suspicious, noncommittal about the conversation between the two, he was also worried about Di Feng's comfort, but he was more worried about the jade pendant on Di Feng's body.
The three of them returned to the county government with their own thoughts, and as soon as they entered the door, Liu Wenshu ran over and told Lai Mingjie, "County Lieutenant Di is back!" ”。
"Repeat, who's back?" Lai Mingjie couldn't believe his ears, and hurriedly confirmed.
"County Lieutenant Di is back!" Liu Wenwen said it again.
Lai Mingjie heard it clearly this time, his face suddenly turned cold, and he turned back to Xie Wuling and Wu Dayou and said, "Go!" Let's go to "visit this troublemaker" and see how he explains the incident in Baima Village."
What "Xie Meng's death", "disaster relief for displaced people" and even "Xie Laozhai owner killed" are trivial matters in Lai Mingjie's heart, scolding Di Feng is just venting the hidden fear in his heart through anger, the name "Zhao Ling'er", these two days have kept him awake at night, and he heard "Di Feng and Zhao Ling'er went into the mountain to collect medicine for Xie Laozhai's master, and they never returned and lost the news" Lai Mingjie's head buzzed, Di Feng had an accident, at most Yushi was impeached, and Zhao Ling'er had an accident...... Zhao Pu's words were still in his ears when he left: "If Ling'er has an accident in your Xinning, I will take someone to wash Xinning City in blood." "Fang Zi Zhao Laojiu is famous for his "mischievous" in Qianzhong Dao, Zhao Ling'er is going to have an accident in Xinning, and the old and strong Zhao Mo and the unscrupulous Zhao Pu are really likely to do something bloody in Xinning.
Thinking that he was going to die tragically, Lai Mingjie couldn't help but speed up his pace, and as soon as he saw Di Feng in the house, Lai Mingjie blurted out and asked, "Where is Zhao Ling'er now?" ”。
Although Xie Wuling and Wu Dayou were to break down, they all knew what Zhao Ling'er's identity was, and when they saw Lai Mingjie open his mouth to ask about Zhao Ling'er's whereabouts, they secretly slandered themselves, "This Lai Mingjie scolded Di Feng along the way, in fact, the main one who was really worried turned out to be her, the old fox, who knew Zhao Ling'er's identity, kept it a secret, and wanted to reap the benefits for himself, and now he deserves to have a disaster."
Di Feng also knew that Xinning was in trouble, and Lai Mingjie, the county magistrate, was already busy, and at this time, he couldn't because Zhao Ling'er blocked Lai Mingjie again, so he was busy telling him how he went to Baima Village, how he found out that Xie Laozhai was poisoned, and how he was plotted by others, of course, Di Feng hid the part where the barbarian god taught Gu's mother-in-law, and only said that Zhao Ling'er saved himself, and Zhao Ling'er himself has now been taken away by the elders in the family.
After listening to Di Feng's narration, Lai Mingjie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the big stone in his heart was finally missing, but he still reprimanded Di Feng with a straight face, "County Lieutenant Di, anti-smuggling and arresting thieves, although it is your duty to judge the official documents, but don't forget to collect taxes and settle down, these six Cao things also need you to take care of, and you won't send someone to chase down the murderer?" What's the use of asking you for three shifts of servants, what do you do, it's better to be a head catcher."
After Lai Mingjie finished speaking, he suddenly remembered, "Xie Meng's family is still crying every day, asking for an explanation; Now that Xie Laozhai has been killed, although Xie Sanmu of Xie Jiazhai didn't say anything, but Qianzhou Don't drive has already joined the army Yamen to supervise the official letter, and the case is more tricky than the other, since Di Feng likes to follow, why not take the opportunity to push it to this fang, and share half of the merit himself, and he has been responsible for it alone, well, so good! Thinking of this, Lai Mingjie smiled, and said warmly: "However, you are also dedicated to the public, which is admirable, this county has the heart to share the burden for you, and went to your investigation and errand work, but you have already found out the clues of the two cases and others will take over, wouldn't it rob you of the credit of the county lieutenant of Di County, so let's do it, the county lieutenant Di You continue to investigate the case of Xie Meng and the owner of Xie Laozhai, and leave other things to Wu County Cheng to do the work, you don't have to come to the Yali every day, and you can handle the case with peace of mind?" ”
"Only fools who can sleep lazily at home are willing, and they get up early every day to sign in" Di Feng didn't care that Wu Dayou winked at him, so he nodded and said, "Obey the arrangement of Lai County!" ”
"Good! That's it, Wu Xiancheng, you will hand over to Lieutenant Di County" After speaking, Lai Mingjie smiled and turned to leave.
Xie Wuling wanted to stay alone and say a few words to Di Feng, but when he saw that Wu Dayou was about to hand over, he hugged his fists and said: "County Lieutenant Di, go down, Xie Mou is in Xin'an Building to put wine for County Lieutenant Di to suppress the shock, don't make excuses" After speaking, he left the house without waiting for Di Feng to answer.
Seeing that Lai Mingjie and Xie Wuling were gone, Wu Dayou said in a low voice: "Brother, I, Wu Dayou, saw that you had a good temper, so I told you, are you stupid?" This understands that Lai Mingjie is buckling the brazier to your head, and you don't hide and take it? How do you tell me to say hello? ”
"The little brother thought that Brother Wu was blinded by the wind when he blinked just now, it turns out that there is still this hidden secret, come and hear it"
"Xie Laozhai is dead, he has reached the heavens, Qianzhou superintendent, you can't solve the case, you can't escape the blame, even if you solve the case, the credit is also the county order, the rest of Xie Wuling and you and I are equally divided, you can't argue, arguing will break the rules of the court, and Qianzhou will not tolerate you, this is not obviously burdened and unflattering! Besides, don't you see that Lai Mingjie already has a grudge against you, and he wants to take this opportunity to share your power; I took over your Liucao thing, and if you want to go back in the future, I'm afraid Lai Mingjie will also find a reason to shirk it. Brother, you just wait to be overshadowed by Lai Mingjie a little bit! Wu Dayou said, leaning on the low couch, changing a comfortable position, and said: "Old Wu, I was born in the army and is a thief, and I look down on a scholar like Lai Mingjie, and my blood is all on the lips, if you really want to encounter a big event, the first thing to scare is these dogs!" ”
Wu Dayou said, lowered his voice, and leaned over, "Brother, brother will tell you the truth, I don't like Xie Wuling, he is a traitorous villain, Lai Mingjie is a slippery person, only Brother Di, I have secretly observed for a long time, bloody and responsible, he is a man who can be entrusted with life and death......"
Di Feng was amused by Wu Dayou's words, and quipped: "Brother, grasp what Di said so well, you don't need to praise Di anymore, if you have something to say, you just say it, straightforward man, you can't learn from Lai Mingjie." It makes people look awkward. ”
Seeing that his careful thinking was seen through by Di Feng, Wu Dayou smiled embarrassedly, "Hehe~~ Brother, then I'll say it directly, I recently found that the victims of the disaster were surprisingly calm, not at all like a lack of food and clothing, and secretly checked ...... And guess what? ”
"Speak quickly!" Di Feng felt that Wu Dayou was a little procrastinating today, and the people who listened intermittently were upset.
"Someone is secretly contacting the victims, not only Xinning, but also several other counties and towns, these people are sneaky and have a lot of plans! My brother got the news, but he was messed up, and he didn't know what to do, I'm afraid that someone is going to organize the victims to rebel! This matter is going to become a heart disease in my brother's heart, but I don't dare to tell Lai Mingjie and Xie Wuling, who knows if they will give me Lao Wu a set, when it comes to playing with my heart, ten Lao Wu is not their opponent. Wu Dayou said and looked around carefully, as if he was afraid that someone was eavesdropping.
"Why didn't you report such a major matter to the state capital?" The first thing that came to Di Feng's mind when he heard it was "Maitreya Teaching"
"Brother, there is no real evidence, who dares to report, this is a heinous rebellion, a piece of paper stabbed up, it is a major event for thousands of heads to land, if the news is wrong, these people should not die unjustly, regardless of the lives of these victims, Wu Mou's conscience is uneasy; But if it's really Lai Mingjie's house, if I put my words here, I'm afraid he will immediately run away with his wife and children, do you believe it or not? ; It's hard to tell if this news is true or false, brother really has no choice, Lai Mingjie and Xie Wuling are not credible people, I have to talk to you, Brother Di, to see what you have in mind? ”
Di Feng pondered for a while and said: "If you believe me, I will take care of this matter, I will go and tell Lai Mingjie that if he is not willing to thoroughly investigate the truth of this matter, I will go to the Qianzhou Mansion."
Di Feng also thought about it, "If there are more lice, don't bite, don't worry if there are too many accounts, the death of the old village owner Xie must be investigated, the green forest is chasing and killing, plus the news of the rebellion of the victims, one more thing is not more, one more is not less, the most important thing involves Maitreya Sect, I promised Granny Gu, just took this opportunity to end it for her; In case the news is false, he can also beg his Lao Tzu Di Ren to show his face and save the lives of these victims. Come on, let me play a big ...... vigorously."
