What the master was already doing was to make suggestions and solve the urgent needs of the master, so naturally he couldn't lag behind the county Cheng, so he took the lead and said: "My lord, there is a way to solve the current dilemma. ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it," the county magistrate looked at the master with a straight face, and his worried expression also stretched a lot.

"Let's wait and see what happens, just wait for the court to issue a document, and then put the foreign person in prison first, we just need to write the file of today's court trial and report it to the court, and we don't have to do anything else to wait for work."

"A good way is a good way, but the court will not make the county order leave a bad reputation of 'lazy government' when it receives the fold." The county commander was worried, and the gloom that had just faded hit his whole face again.

The master was cunning and cunning, and comforted the county order: "The upper mission said that the adults 'perfunctory, prevaricating responsibilities, and unbearable responsibilities' are better than doing bad things with good intentions and ending up in a disgraced dismissal. ”

"But in this way, my reputation in front of Shangguan is not very good, will my career be affected by then?" The county magistrate still wants to play a two-way approach, wanting to do this matter cleanly and beautifully without damaging his career.

The county magistrate hesitated and couldn't make up his mind for a long time, and the master couldn't hold his breath, and said anxiously: "Ouch, my lord, when this is all burning eyebrows, how can I care so far, first solve the problem in front of me, and then say that the career promotion evaluation only accounts for one aspect, and in the future, adults can move around more and move around can also be prosperous, and it is not too late to take the hurdle in front of you first and then slowly figure it out." ”

Seeing that the county order was unmoved, the county Cheng, who had not spoken at this time, also echoed: "My lord, what the master said is not unreasonable. Now we will send the fold to the top, and we will take care of the face of the court. Nowadays, there are so many diplomatic missions in Beijing that he may be the envoy of a subject country, not to mention that we really can't understand the confession of this foreign man, and the consequences of being convicted are unimaginable. Second, this confession is enough to show that the adults have worked hard, but they have encountered problems that are difficult to solve, and it is not reproachable to ask the court for advice. Speaking of which, the master is right, wait and see the changes, throw stones and ask for directions. ”

"Since you've both said so, and now you're going to have to do it, I'll give it a try. Master, you immediately write down the fold and hand it over to the officials, and be sure to send them to Jinhua Mansion within two days. Also, the exotic man has to take care of it, but he can't go out of the pool. The prefectural order instructed.

"Your Excellency, don't worry, I'll do it." The master said and withdrew.

As soon as the master left, the county commander still couldn't settle down, and proposed: "Let's go, Lu Xiancheng accompany me to the prison to see the exotic man" As he spoke, the two walked in the direction of the prison one after the other.

When he came to the county jail, the head of the cell saluted the two adults.

"Where is the man from the Western Regions who just came in today?" Without waiting for the cell boss to ask, the county magistrate couldn't wait to see the cheeky man.

"Inside, my lord, please." The cell boss walked to the innermost part of the cell with the county order and the county officer, and through the deep corridor, he saw the bearded man sitting in the corner.

The bearded man didn't shout or make a fuss in this strange place, he sat there quietly as if thinking about something, and his expression was calm and he didn't look scared at all.

"Open the door," the county magistrate commanded, standing at the door of the cell.

The cell boss quickly skillfully found the key to the door of the bearded man's cell from a pile of keys, and opened the door with a swift movement.

The county commander stood in front of the bearded man with his hands in his hands, and quipped: "You barbarian is a little bold, you are very calm if you don't make noise, but the official underestimated you, I thought you would look for death and cry for your father, so come and see what went wrong, it seems that you have a very leisurely life." ”

The bearded man didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and he competed with the county order: "The food and drink here to shelter from the wind and rain is much better than when I eat and sleep outside, if possible, I want to be here all the time." He looked at the prefectural order with a calm face.

The county commander opened his mouth and laughed: "It's always too late for people to stay away from this place, you barbarian is so interested in living, today I came to change a comfortable place for you, it seems that there is no need, since you like it, it will fulfill you." ”

The county magistrate instructed the people around him: "Cell leader, you listen that this cell is only for this exotic man to live alone, eat and drink well every day, take care of his life, and don't go out of the pool. ”

"Yes, my lord, remember my lord's commands, and don't dare to be the slightest bit sloppy." The cell boss nodded.

"It's kind of interesting." The county magistrate smiled inexplicably at the bearded man.

The county commander and the county Cheng walked out of the prison door, and the county Cheng said: "My lord, you see that these foreign people really can't be treated with common sense. ”

"Haha..."Thinking of the different words of the bearded man just now, the county magistrate couldn't help but laugh again, although the county magistrate on the side didn't know what the county magistrate was laughing at, but he also laughed with him.

As the county order ordered, the Songlin County Concert arrived at Jinhua Mansion two days later, and the prefect took the Concert and saw half of it and encountered the same problem as the Songlin Governor.

He couldn't understand the confession of the foreign man, just like reading a book from heaven, and wrote several pages in black and white, but he just couldn't understand the meaning, so he simply asked the official to send it to the governor of Zhejiang.

The location of the yamen of the governor of Zhejiang Province in Hangzhou. On this day, Zhao Zhutong, the governor of Zhejiang, was discussing with the three divisions, at this time, Li Wen came to Zhao Zhutong with a fold, Zhao Zhutong took the fold and opened it to see, the front part of the fold is the trial of ordinary cases, but the back part is like seeing flowers in the fog and people can't understand it.

Zhao Zhutong didn't say anything and handed it to the political envoy sitting on the left, and passed it all the way to Liu Hu, the commander of the envoy. After Liu Hu saw the twists and turns, he saw that the other three people had not spoken, and he was a little at a loss, so he simply did not speak.

Unconsciously, after the tea was over, at this time, the commander of the envoy Si Liu Huzuo couldn't help but take the lead in speaking: "Why are the three adults silent, could it be that there is something difficult about this case." I've also seen it, isn't it a case involving a foreign person! It is said that I am in charge of a provincial military and should not interfere in the trial of cases, but seeing that you don't speak, I have no choice but to overstep my responsibilities once. You see, the confessions of the exotic men in this recital are full of nonsense, which are to confuse the public and disturb the local peace. He was sentenced to 30 boards and a flail for half a year to set an example. ”

Liu Hu was originally a general who had been on the battlefield for a long time, but he was seriously injured before the battle and left the barracks and retired from the battlefield.

Political envoy Xia Wenjie said: "Brother Liu, we don't have to participate in this matter, the prefect of Jinhua is old and well-educated, and it is right to follow him." If this was just a simple case, why didn't he reply to Songlin County, but send it to the governor's yamen. ”

Liu Hu said dissatisfiedly: "You civil officials like to do this, and simple things have to be made unfathomable, so I will ask you how to deal with this matter?" Just leave it like that? ”

Xia Wenjie was not annoyed and said: "It's definitely not okay to put it away, and you have to deal with it quickly, let me tell you this, you see this exotic man's confession is not understood at all, he has not made a mistake, and he has not been convicted, this important point is what is his surname, and where does he come from?" The appearance of an exotic man is drawn in this recital, and its intention is to let the court help to investigate, haven't you heard the governor say it? Now there are many envoys from various countries in the capital, and they are the kings and nobles of any country or the envoys. ”

Wen Yuan, who had not spoken all the time, couldn't help but say, "Lord Liu, you can sit down, in short, it's right to listen to Lord Xia." ”

Zhao Zhutong also said: "Lord Liu, you can relax, we don't have to worry about this matter, and I will ask the scribe to write a good report to the imperial court." ”

"Hey, you literati just can't pee in the same pot." Liu Hu said dissatisfiedly.

Zhao Zhutong said, "Look, this is coming up again. The three of them laughed out loud, but Liu Hu was panting and speechless on the side, allowing the three to laugh.

In the back garden of Songlin County, the "general" shouted softly, and the master regretted: "My lord, you lost again, but you should have something to worry about after losing several games in a row." ”

"Hey, it's not going to go" The county commander then threw the chess pieces on the chessboard, got up and walked to the side to look into the distance, the master also stood up and walked to the county commander and asked in a low voice: "My lord, are you still worried about the affairs of foreign men?" ”

"Ah, yes! I can't sleep for the past few days, and I don't know if it's right or wrong to do this. Did you send this out? Where are we now? "The county magistrate is worried.

"My lord, this twist and turn has also been sent out, and the unpredictable right and wrong of Tianwei are not something we can control, and it must not be bad. Where is it now, according to the villain's inference, it should be on the way to the capital, three days to Jinhua Mansion, seven days to the governor's yamen, now half a month has passed, there is no news, indicating that this is to the capital. Master said on the side.

The county commander nodded approvingly and said, "Well, your analysis makes some sense. What you just said is unpredictable, and the result will not be so bad as to explain it. ”

"Your Excellency, you think! If the inference just now is correct, then it means that Jinhua Mansion and the Governor Yamen have no way to try some cases, and their approach is the same as ours, that is, to do 'shake off the shopkeeper' to make the court worry about this matter, and the emperor blames the Governor Yamen and Jinhua Mansion on the top, and they can't condemn us, and the case itself is not a big case, but it involves this exotic man and something we can't explain. Master said.

"After your analysis, my heart is a lot more relaxed. Don't go back today, how about a drink with me. The county order was in a rare mood, and he was happy to leave the master to drink with himself.

"The subordinates are disrespectful." The master bowed down and thanked him.
