"Zhou Bantou, immediately go to investigate whether there are any missing people in the county, and at the same time issue a notice to notify those who are missing to go to the yamen to identify their bodies." Hai Rui said.

Although it is inferred that this is a murder case, the water of the fat powder river has washed away almost every trace of the deceased's body, and there is no way to find out at all, so I can only find out the identity of the deceased first and then follow the vine to see if we can find out the reason.

"Cheng Zhong......" Hai Rui was ready to leave after making the deployment, and he didn't need to do the aftermath work as a county master. He called Cheng Zhong, but now Cheng Zhong didn't seem to hear it at all, so he raised his voice and called again.

"Huh? Teacher, you call me? Cheng Zhong said in a trance.

"What's wrong with you?" Hai Rui asked with some concern: "Your face is so ugly." ”

"I'm fine, just a little nauseous." Cheng Zhong said with a pale face. From time to time, the white face of the deceased blistered in the river appeared in front of his eyes.

"Okay, I'll get used to it later." Hai Rui comforted and said: "I can't see that you are so young and your mind is so meticulous, and the candidate for the history of the teacher is still undecided, how about it?" Interested in doing my canonical history? ”

"Classics?" Cheng Zhong said in surprise. Although the time traveled is not too long, he also knows very well that the canonical history is not a official or a miscellaneous servant, it belongs to the category of officials. Not only that, the canon means "lord", the history is the official, and the canonical history is counted as the consul in the county government.

Of course, even so, in fact, there was not much power in the canonical history, and at that time it was still a general position of staff, equivalent to the current secretariat, the level of a full section.

Even this made Cheng Zhong very surprised, such a position in the history of the classics, Hai Rui said to give it? And the object is a sixteen-year-old half-adult like himself who has just achieved the resonance of his show, he can't be joking, right?

"Yes, the previous county clerk and the chief bookkeeper had a vegetarian meal, and they were not clean, so the teacher was upset and drove them away." Hai Rui said lightly.

Cheng Zhongzhen doesn't know what to say, this teacher of his own is too violent, right? Just over a month after taking office, he fired all two of his adjutants! Isn't it too flamboyant and willful for him not to do this, can he last long?

In fact, Cheng Zhong didn't know the appointment and dismissal system of officials in the Ming Dynasty, if he knew, he should know that Hai Rui was violent, flamboyant, and capricious?

You must know that although the magistrate is the chief official of a county, the appointment, dismissal and transfer power of the county and the chief secretary as an adjutant are in the hands of the imperial historian. Hai Rui can do it to his adjutant and withdraw as soon as he says withdraw, there is only one possibility, that is, Hai Rui can easily handle the patrol of the imperial history!

"yes." Hai Rui nodded and said: "I can't appoint the main bookkeeper yet, let's make a history first, there is also a fortune, and you can subsidize some household expenses." ”

Hai Rui's words made Cheng Zhong very moved, it seems that Hai Rui knows the predicament of his family, so he figured out how to help Cheng Zhong in this way. Of course, Hai Rui is not a philanthropist, he also fell in love with Cheng Zhong's excellent observation.

Cheng Zhong was overjoyed, and when he was busy trying to agree, he was frightened by Hai Rui's words.

"Cheng Zhong, as a teacher, I have taken a fancy to your eyesight, and I will entrust you with all the criminal names in the county in the future." Hai Rui said: "As for the body of the beggar just now, we have to carefully examine it, and maybe we can find some clues." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Zhong waved his hand again and again, he didn't want to spend every day inspecting corpses in the future!

But who would have thought that this young man, who was now pale at the sight of a corpse and disgusted and wanted to vomit, would become a murderous executioner in the future?

"Teacher, the student is shallow in knowledge, and he is not proficient in the law, so he doesn't dare to cause trouble for the teacher." Cheng Zhong waved his hand again and again and said.

"Well, if you change your mind in the future, you can come to me at any time." Hai Rui saw that Cheng Zhong was really not here, and he was not reluctant, but explained that Cheng Zhong had learned: "Although you are a teacher this time, you must be clear that your lack of knowledge and writing skills is still very large. The county's teachings are over the age of sixties, and he is an old man, and his articles are even very admired by the teacher, you have to study well, and you must not rest on your laurels, and give birth to a proud and complacent feeling. ”

Cheng Zhong didn't expect Hai Rui to nag and fight with women, but he didn't dare to interrupt, so he had to be patient and only agree.

After saying goodbye to Hai Rui, Cheng Zhong couldn't wait to run home, and the broken thatched house had become the most important sustenance in his life.

Liu was washing Cheng Zhong's dirty clothes by the river, and the wooden mallet hit the clothes very rhythmically, making an empty sound. The river water in early spring was extremely cold, and Liu's hands were red and swollen from the cold, and he couldn't hold the clothes hammer in his hand a little unsteadily.

"Godmother, I'll wash it." Cheng Lianyi walked behind Liu and said.

"Mother is almost done, so don't get your hands dirty. Is the needlework of Hou Sanye's family finished? Liu asked.

"It's done. Godmother, you rest first and see what your hands have become. Cheng Lianyi said that he was going to snatch the clothes hammer in Liu's hand.

"Yo, what's this for?" A female voice sounded, and Cheng Lianyi recognized her as Cheng Xueyi's mother-in-law, Huang.

"Tut-tut, look, look, what a good girl, this goddaughter is closer than her own." Huang said: "Xiaozhi family, you said how good it would be if you didn't give birth to that son!" Iniquity. ”

Liu didn't speak. Today is the day of the county trial, Cheng Zhong went to the county seat early in the morning, and he hasn't come back yet, I'm afraid he didn't get it, and he doesn't know how to explain to himself, so he stays outside.

Liu sighed secretly, although he didn't have much hope in the first place, but when things really happened, there was still a little gap in his heart.

"You're not allowed to say that, brother!" Cheng Lianyi pouted and said.

"Am I wrong?" Huang continued: "Has your sick brother passed the county exam this time? ”

"My brother went to see the list in the morning, and he hasn't come back yet." Cheng Lianyi said.

"Haven't come back yet? I don't think there's a face to come back, right? Huang sneered at the counterattack and said: "The results of the county examination have long been announced. Cheng Lian's uncle in the county town has already sent a message, Cheng Lian didn't get it in the end, and Cheng Zhong didn't take the next few exams, do you still expect him to be able to win? Unless the county magistrate is blind! ”

Because of Cheng Xueyi's relationship, Huang is still relatively clear about the county test.

Liu's face was miserable, but he didn't say a word, but the degree of beating his clothes was a little faster.

"At the beginning, I was ashamed to make a bet with my husband, but I wanted to see how he came to the door and knelt down to apologize." The more Huang spoke, the more proud he became, as if he had seen Cheng Zhong hanging his head and kneeling in front of her house crying bitterly.

"Humph!" Cheng Lianyi pursed his lips and turned his head to ignore her.

Huang was still angry, and said: "But Lian Yi is really good at this child, he looks handsome, he is so sensible at a young age, I am afraid that there will be many people who will say kiss in the future." It's just that there is a stupid brother who is dragging him down, and he can't say that he has to change relatives again. ”

"I don't change parents!" Cheng Lianyi said loudly: "You go, you go!" ”

Huang saw that he had said so sadly to Liu's mother and daughter in a few words, and finally satisfied, stood up, put his head together, and was about to leave, but saw a thin figure running all the way back on the official road.

"Isn't that a sick seedling?" The Huang family was immediately overjoyed, just in time to taunt him to his face.

"Mother, Lianyi, I'm back." Cheng Zhong saw Liu and Cheng Lianyi from a distance, and waved his hand excitedly. Even if he got the undergraduate admission letter in later generations, Cheng Zhong was not so excited.

"Yo, I'm happy to be like this, as if I passed the exam." Huang said coldly.

"What? You got it? Is the gentleman suing you? Cheng Zhong was stunned and said. When he came back late, he thought that the news of his case had already spread!

"Cut, joke! You're not dreaming, are you? Still in the exam? Who has been deceived? Huang didn't believe it at all. She has always been dissatisfied with Cheng Zhong's deception of Cheng Xueyi's teaching, and she always wants to get back to the field, and she can't wait for the results of the county exam just come out today. In her opinion, Cheng Zhong didn't even have to count on Cheng Zhong in the county exam if he couldn't pass the county exam.

"Brother, ignore him, let's go home." Cheng Lianyi didn't want to embarrass Cheng Zhong, so he said.

Before Cheng Zhong could answer, he heard an excited voice say, "This, here!" ”

The three of them turned their heads to look, and saw the patriarch Cheng Zhiyan leading a messenger in official uniform to walk over quickly
