I was a little worried in my heart, and Lotte said in my heart that I was just drinking and playing with the female singer during the banquet today, and I scolded Lu Rusheng a few words, and I didn't make any big mistakes, so Master Yan wanted to reprimand me.

Lotte looked back and thought about it, it seems that this year's tricky female trick is a romantic affair for the scholar, and when he said that he was reckless, the county magistrate also reprimanded him, could it be that something happened in the yali?

speculated all the way, and finally got to the gate of the county ya, and sent Chen Zhixian back to the back office. Yan is the main bookkeeper who came to the office with Rakuten.

Lotte asked a little suspiciously: "Lord Bookkeeper called his subordinates late at night, I don't know what happened?" ”

Looking at Lotte, Master Yan smiled and said: "Le Tie Si is only young and romantic, and the female trick of Pingyu throws himself into his arms, and the old man is hot and tight!" ”

Belch...... Lotte's mind didn't turn around for a while, and this Yan Zhushu asked what he meant. However, Lotte secretly despised this old wine in his heart, no wonder he was still an unpopular eight-grade miscellaneous official at such an old age.

This Yan Zhushu is also drunk, so he has such words, and then said: "Although Zhao Mingcheng's poetry is average, but his wife's words are a must for me, and the county lord who made these two words of Le Tisi has a light on his face!" ”

Lotte was ashamed: "The master of the book said that he laughed!" "I said again in my heart, I have something to say, and I called the master here in the middle of the night, just to say these boring words?

Then Master Yan cut to the point: "The official called you late at night, naturally for official business!" ”

It's really troublesome, just a few quiet days, where did so many official affairs come from in the yamen, and they have to deal with it in the middle of the night, Lotte is guilty in his heart.

"Do you know what it is like to be an official?" Master Yan asked Lotte.

I am not an official, and when I am asked what I am doing, Lotte has no choice but to repeat the same old tune, which is nothing more than to take charge of civil affairs, persuade Sannong, settle lawsuits and prisons, and live up to the expectations of the officials.

Lotte just smiled, then shook his head and interrupted: "Someone once said: One year to clear, two and a half years to clear, three years to mix!" ”

"Why do you say that?" Lotte's shocked eyes have changed a little, and his heart says that this strict master book can't be a mixed official.

Yan is nearly 40 years old, and the chief official of the Yazhong has experienced the world and understood people's hearts. Seeing Lotte's appearance, he immediately understood what Lotte was thinking, and scolded: "You murderer, what are you thinking about in your heart, this official is from a clear background, and he wants to follow the example of this dynasty!" ”

was confused and confused when he was scolded, and Lotte didn't know what the master was going to say, so he didn't say a word anymore.

Master Yan continued: "According to the customary system of this dynasty, the transfer of ownership of private land and houses, the change of household registration, and the application for opening of a business must be filed with the government, and a certain amount of money must be paid before it can be approved and approved by the government!" ”

Don't teach you these things, although I have just entered the public door and served as a poster, how do I not know that these things are my own job. However, in front of Shangguan, Lotte still made a look of deferencing, but he kept slandering in his heart.

"This year is clear, two and a half years are mixed, and three years are mixed!" Speaking of this, Master Yan changed his voice: "Like the real estate transfer that the official said before, ordinary people feel that they will suffer a loss when dealing with the government, so they first wrote the deed and put it away without trading, and when the lord in the yamen is about to unseal, there will be some mistakes according to the custom, and the deed tax will be halved at that time!" ”

Good news, today can be regarded as an eye-opener, and then Lotte thought about it, what did the master of the master and himself say these things, after all, the county magistrate and the two masters of the master have just been in office for a few months, so they naturally will not do such things, and they don't need to be a microphone themselves.

These days have been messing around in the yamen, and Lotte has heard a lot about the shady scenes in the yamen. Suddenly, the word "lawsuit" suddenly popped out of Lotte's head. According to the past habit, many county lords have the right not to make the expired and invalid principle when they are about to leave office, and they will be crazy about accumulating money, and the discount of the field endowment will be as large as the long-delayed lawsuits, and the general new officials will turn over many cases after taking office, which is the so-called "pestering lawsuit".

Speculating on the meaning of Master Yan's words, Lotte asked cautiously: "What does the master of the master mean is that some cases in the previous magistrate county were arbitrarily settled, and the master is now going to overturn and start over?" ”

Hearing what Lotte said, Master Yan nodded and smiled: "You are really clever in everything!" He also said: "If you change the county official and turn over the lawsuit, most of the ills will come out on top of the 'settlement' and 'tax deed' when the old and the new are alternated, and in the end, the people will be unlucky. ”

"The two masters Gao Yiye, I have such parents, it is really a blessing from the previous life!" Lotte hurriedly shouted slogans. You have to hug your thighs when you should hug your thighs, and you have to pat your ass when you should pat your ass, which is also the way of being an official. Immediately puzzled, the master of the master book said for a long time, isn't it the same as not saying it.

"Involving the former magistrate of the county, it is a matter of official decency, just turn over these things!" Brushing his beard, Master Yan nodded and said, "It's just that recently, when the county lord was looking through the previous cases, he found a murder case, which was quite suspicious, so that the county lord could not be safe?" ”

Lotte suddenly understood in his heart, Chen Zhixian is young and is a Jinshi background, as the so-called future has a bright future, this time looking through the old cases not for wealth but for fame, hurriedly asked: "I don't know what case it is?" ”

"The case of Li Wenyuan's murder in the early autumn of last year!" Yan Zhu said.

It turned out that there was a wealthy family called Li Wenyuan in Pingyu, whose family had hundreds of acres of fertile land, and he went back and forth to nearby prefectures and counties to do some business on weekdays, and after his wife died, he continued to follow the Zhu family, and in the summer of last year, Li Wenyuan went out to do business for several months and did not return, but when he was discovered, he died in the woods of a certain place in this county, and all his belongings were gone.

The former magistrate of the county closed the case indiscriminately before leaving office, and sentenced Li Wenyuan's successor to have an affair with Zhang Biao, the county's post officer, because her husband was away from home, and Zhang Biao murdered Li Wenyuan in order to achieve the goal of long-term fornication. Since the case was close to New Year's Day, it was reported to the Criminal Division to report to Dali Temple, and according to the laws of this dynasty, it was to be beheaded after the autumn.

Searching for the memories left by the previous owner of this body, Lotte also has some impressions of the case of Li Wenyuan's murder, and said: "The young man has not yet entered the public gate, and he doesn't know much about this case, but he heard some rumors!" ”

"Not bad!" Master Yan nodded, and said: "The county lord has repeatedly read this case, and found that there are many suspicious points, and recently the prison came to report, that Zhang Biao and Zhu heard that they had changed the county master, and now they are injustice in prison!" ”

He was not in the torture room, and besides, he didn't want to do such a thankless thing, so Lotte had to say: "My subordinates are not in the torture room now!" ”

"What a bastard you're talking about!" Listening to what Lotte said, Master Yan opened his mouth and scolded: "The county lord and the official are in favor of you, and you regard you as a confidant, but you are lazy and slippery and prevaricating like this, and you don't feel ashamed of the two masters in your heart?" ”

Scolded in a cold sweat, Lotte hurriedly hugged his thighs: "The second master is angry, his subordinates are saying that they don't do things in the torture room, if they meddle in this case, won't they usurp their powers?" ”

Master Yan glanced at Lotte and said, "In this county office, who do you think the county lord and this official can trust?" ”

I don't know if Master Yan's words are a compliment or a big mistake for himself, Lotte still gritted his teeth and hugged his thighs: "Since the county lord and the master of the master trust his subordinates, he should not hesitate to go to the soup and fight again!" ”

Nodding, the master of the bookkeeper said that he was very satisfied with Lotte's statement, and said in a low voice: "Although there are many doubts in this case, there is no definite evidence to prove the innocence of the suspect. ”

Lotte nodded hurriedly, and Master Yan gave a few more instructions before sending Lotte away.

"Erlang!"

As soon as he stepped out of the county office, a voice shouted to him, Lotte looked sideways, and saw that it was his sister-in-law Li Dutou who hurriedly responded.

"What did the master call you?" Seeing that his brother-in-law was summoned by Master Yan in the middle of the night, Li Dutou deliberately waited at the door.

After looking around, there were only himself and his sister-in-law on the whole street, and Lotte lowered his voice and said: "The case of Li Wenyuan's murder in the late autumn of last year, can my sister-in-law still remember it clearly?" ”

I couldn't see my sister-in-law's face clearly in the night, and after a pause, I heard my sister-in-law say, "The Lord Bookkeeper is looking for you for this?" ”

Lotte snorted.

"Let's go, I'll talk to you again when I go home for my brother!" Sighing lightly, Li Dutou got up and walked home.

When he returned home with his sister-in-law, Li Dutou lit the lamp and took out the altar wine to pour it for himself and Lotte, and then said slowly: "Zhang Biao, the suspect in Li Wenyuan's case, I think you have seen it before, he was originally a helper under his brother, and he was upright in nature, and such a character was not suitable for being a helper, so he went to be a pawn!" ”

After draining the wine in the bowl, Li Dutou wiped his mouth and said: "Zhang Biao and that Li Wenyuan continued to string The Zhu family was originally a fellow villager, and they were childhood sweethearts since childhood, but Zhang Biao's family was poor, and the Zhu family's parents hated poverty and loved the rich, so they married the Zhu family to Li Wenyuan, who had a lot of money!" ”

In the middle of autumn last year, when Zhang Biao went out on duty to deliver letters, he went to a forest in Xiguan of this county, and heard the sound of screams in the woods, so he went to the forest to investigate, but saw that Li Wenyuan was killed by several knives.

Out of kindness, this Zhang Biao hired a car to send Li Wenyuan's body to the county office, at first the former county magistrate didn't care, but I don't know which insider mentioned the old matter between Zhang Biao and Zhu in front of the former magistrate, the former county magistrate decided that Zhang Biao and Zhu conspired to kill Li Wenyuan, and immediately sent someone to torture Zhang Biao for questioning, this Zhang Biao has been gritting his teeth and refusing to admit it.

Hearing this, Lotte pouted: "More things are better than less things, this good person doesn't do it casually!" ”

Seeing that he couldn't pry open Zhang Biao's mouth for a while, the former county magistrate immediately hit Li Wenyuan and Zhu Shi, and sent someone to take it to the county government to torture her. Now that the Zhu family has confessed, the goal of the former county lord is naturally placed on Zhang Biao again! ”

After taking a sip of wine, Li Dutou glanced at Lotte and asked, "Erlang, you have also been on an errand for a few days, have you ever heard of a kind of torture called Xinghuayu in prison?" ”
