Cai Min was stunned for a moment, and thought: You, a young man who has not dried up, actually speak so harshly, aren't you secretly accusing me of lying?

However, he couldn't say anything about his thoughts, so he pretended to be angry and said to the two guards: "You two goods, is it true that Lord Qiu did not reward you with menjing, so he held a grudge and deliberately blocked the drive?" ”

These two officials are not stupid people, and they know that if they pinch this topic and talk to their masters, they will definitely have no good fruit to eat, so they have to accept it resignedly.

Cai Min took the opportunity to teach him a painless lesson: "The two of us are also old people who have followed me for many years, I usually take you with you a lot, and I dare to do such an ignorant thing!" In this way, don't receive your monthly silver for this month, but give me back to reflect on it! ”

When the two officials heard this, they hurriedly kowtowed to the ground and retreated.

Qiu Yizhi saw that Cai Min sent down two subordinates like this, although he was not sincere, his acting skills were also quite impressive, so he echoed: "This is just a trivial matter, why should adults be angry?" ”

Cai Min said: "What Lord Qiu said is extremely true, these are some villains who look down on people with dogs' eyes, and they can't scold or punish them endlessly. If you are angry with them, you will not be angry with them sooner? Oh, by the way, Lord Qiu is here, what's the matter? ”

Qiu Yizhi replied: "It was a big case in this county before, and a Dao Gu named 'Miaozhen' in the 'Dust Palace' killed thirteen people over the years, which is already a rare big case in the sea. The subordinates sent a few documents to the adults before, I don't know if the adults have seen it? ”

"Oh! It turned out to be for this! Cai Min pretended to realize suddenly, "I already knew about this." Speaking of which, Yuezhou is also a place of cultural relics and culture, it is really jaw-dropping that there is such a big case! ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded and said: "When the subordinates first arrived, such a sensational thing happened in the jurisdiction, and it is the responsibility of the subordinates who are not effective in governing the county!" ”

Cai Min waved his hand and said, "How many days have you been in Shanyin County?" The responsibility is not on your head in any way. If you want to be held responsible, I'm afraid that Li Shenshi will not be able to escape the blame! He changed his words and said, "By the way, isn't Master Li going to a foreign office?" I wonder if I've already started? ”

Qiu Yizhi was taken aback when he heard this, and he didn't know what Cai Min meant by asking knowingly, so he carefully said: "This Lord Li seems to be somewhat involved in this case, so much so that he did the ugly thing of trying to murder the bitter master late at night, and was arrested by the lower officials. Therefore, the lower officials were afraid that he would abscond or commit suicide in fear of crime, so they temporarily detained him and guarded him. The magistrate has already reported this matter to Lord Cai in writing. ”

Cai Min didn't hear this last sentence, and said with gritted teeth: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this, right?" Although this Li Shenshi is no longer the magistrate of Shanyin, he is still an official of the imperial court, and he has a meritorious reputation. Lord Qiu disposed of it without authorization, I'm afraid that he has violated the royal law! ”

Qiu Yizhi originally wanted to inquire about the progress of the handling of the "Thirteen Lives Strange Case", but somehow he was pulled by Cai Min, the old fox, on Li Shenshi, which really caught him off guard, so he changed his words and said: "It is said that it is detention, but it is just to let Lord Li postpone his office first, and now he will live in the county government for a few days." After the case is concluded, the lower official will submit his own bullet seal to ......"

Cai Min unceremoniously interrupted Qiu Yizhi's words and said, "Lord Qiu is doing this, but it's a bit child's play!" The field is waiting for Lord Li to arrive, if the government affairs are delayed because of Lord Qiu, I am afraid that Lord Qiu may not be able to afford it! ”

Qiu Yi thought to herself: What can I afford to bear about the government affairs of a small county?

But he couldn't say it clearly, but said: "What the adults taught is that the subordinates also think the same way." Therefore, I went to the top in person to ask for instructions on when I would be able to interrogate him, and the lower officials could give an explanation to the people who were suffering. As for Lord Lee Shin-sil...... If he is guilty, he will be impeached; If he is innocent, he can easily take office. All in all, it is up to the case to be concluded quickly. ”

Cai Min unexpectedly said that although Qiu Yizhi's words were polite, he was an out-and-out soft nail, and he instantly kicked the ball back to him. This Cai Min looks elegant and extraordinary on the surface, but in fact, he has a small amount of energy inside, if it were according to his original temperament, he would have already turned his face and reprimanded this unknown subordinate.

However, Cai Min couldn't figure out the details of Qiu Yizhi after all, and there was a ghost fetus in his abdomen, so he had an idea and said: "I have already received the file of this case, it is really appalling. The official speculated about what this 'Miaozhen layman' had done, and was afraid that he would be executed by Ling Chi. Lord Qiu is a Jinshi appointed by the Holy Lord, and the laws of the Han Dynasty are naturally very proficient, and if there are death penalty cases within the jurisdiction, the state government yamen has no right to approve them, and they must be reviewed by the Assassin Shi, and then submitted to the Criminal Department for review, and the face is presented to the Holy Lord for a personal execution, and finally the death penalty will be imposed after the Autumn - this is not in a hurry. ”

"So, Lord Cai has already reported the case to Lord Assassin Shi Yin?" Qiu Yizhi asked.

Cai Min nodded and said, "Exactly!" ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he continued to ask: "Then I don't know when Yin Assassin Shi will be able to report this case to the imperial court?" ”

"Huh!" Cai Min sneered twice and said, "Master Shi Yin of Jiangnan Province has always been discerning, and since the documents have been sent to him, he will have his own public opinion at that time. As for the schedule...... Lord Yin has a reputation for being upright and stern in Jiangnan officialdom, so I don't dare to ask. If Lord Qiu is really in a hurry, he can naturally visit Jinling City in person. ”

This is equivalent to kicking the ball back to Qiu Yizhi.

Qiu Yizhi is not a stupid person, so he naturally heard the three flavors in his words, and said: "Although my subordinates are first-time officials, they also know that it is a taboo in officialdom to visit at a higher level. Why don't you go with me? Along the way, subordinates can also listen to the teachings of adults. ”

Where did Cai Min fall into such a situation as Qiu Yizhi, and said with a smile: "Lord Qiu doesn't need to worry about this. Although the official is shallow, he is not one of those boring mediocre people who stick to red tape, I will repair a letter and take it to Jinling by Lord Qiu, as for myself, I don't have to go again! ”

After that, Cai Min said "unaccompanied", then turned around and walked towards the back hall of the mansion, and did not invite Qiu Yizhi to enter, leaving him, Yu Chi Jiming, and Wang Lao Wu aside.

Qiu Yizhi neither dared to leave nor enter, and really felt the situation of the so-called "crushing people to death at the level of officials".

After a long time, Cai Min came back, holding a piece of paper in his hand, handed it to Qiu Yizhi, and said, "Lord Qiu, is it okay for me to write this letter like this?" ”

Qiu Yizhi hurriedly took the paper respectfully with both hands, and saw that there were only three or four lines of handsome lines written on it, but it was written that Qiu Yizhi had only been introduced to the assassination history yamen to assist in the "Thirteen Lives Strange Case" for a while, and there was no room for modification and polishing. However, Cai Min's writing is vigorous and stiff, and there are hidden picks in the horizontal point, which is quite impressive.

So Qiu Yizhi praised: "Lord Cai is worthy of being a predecessor of Hanlin, and his writing is smooth and simple; This word alone, students may not have such attainments even if they have practiced for a lifetime! I look at Lord Yin's words, they can't compare to Lord Cai. ”

Cai Min is also a famous calligrapher in Jiangnan, and he is quite skilled in writing in a single stroke. Therefore, Yin Chengliang, who also loves calligraphy, often asks him to dance and write ink, and Cai Min also takes this opportunity to increase communication and close relations with his boss.

However, in Cai Min's view, Yin Chengliang's calligraphy has too many traces of pretentiousness and kitsch, which has lost its natural antiquity and cannot enter the eyes of real experts. But he is above the officialdom and is below the others, how dare he talk and comment indiscriminately, so he always has to think of good things and wrongs.

Therefore, Qiu Yizhi's sycophants were just right, which made Cai Min suddenly full of spring breeze, and said with a smile and humility: "Lord Qiu is the one who is destined to get Mr. Qin Guangyuan's ink treasure, why should I worry about this bad word?" His mind was still clear, and he said, "I don't think it's early, and the county seat of Shanyin is some distance from here, why don't Lord Qiu go back quickly, clean up, and go to Jinling to meet Lord Thorn Shi again?" ”

This can be regarded as an eviction order.

Although Qiu Yizhi's trip did not make any progress, after all, he got Cai Min's handwriting, and it was not nothing, so he had to sigh secretly, say goodbye and turn around and go out.

After leaving the state capital yamen, the three of them were already hungry.

Qiu Yizhi took it seriously, so he found a lively restaurant, ordered a few fresh side dishes, and invited the other two to dinner.

After this stumbling in the yamen of the state capital, Qiu Yizhi became more and more uninterested in visiting the scenery, so after the three of them hastily ate lunch, they hurried back to Shanyin County.

Back in the county, Qiu Yizhi told Yang Yinger and Yang Qiaoer about the trip.

The two sisters couldn't help but be a little disappointed when they heard that the county magistrate was stunned.

However, Qiu Yi saw the change in the expressions on their sisters' faces, so she patted her chest and promised that she would set off for Jinling City tomorrow, and stabbed Lord Shi Yin in front of her, and she would definitely ask for an explanation for them.

The next day, Qiu Yizhi got up early in the morning, gathered the eighteen personal soldiers he brought from the capital, and said that he was going to go out of the city to do things for a few days, and asked them to obey Zhao Chengxiao's orders in the next few days, continue to practice martial arts, and not go to the streets to disturb the people at will.

He also called several original secretaries in the county government office, and asked them to temporarily act as the yamen affairs, and when they encountered big or small matters, they would discuss with Zhao Chengxiao before making a decision.

As for Zhao Chengxiao, Qiu Yizhi considered that he had not recovered from his serious injury and could not travel far, so he handed him the county government seal letter and asked him to temporarily replace his administration; He also specifically instructed that several key prisoners who were temporarily detained in the county government cells should be strictly guarded.

Before leaving, Qiu Yizhi specially took Wei Chi Jiming to visit the first evil offender, Miao Zhen.

Although she was in prison, but this wonderful truth was unexpectedly sudden, she saw Qiu Yizhi coming, but got up like a master, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the county magistrate is here, I don't know if there is a result?" ”

Qiu Yizhi was told the central thing by her, and her whole face suddenly became gloomy, and she said coldly: "What? Do you still hope that the day of your canonical punishment will come sooner? ”

Miao Zhen smiled and said: "The poor road has not yet soared, where can I give up the prosperity between this world?" In this prison, it was very clean, and the poor road faced the wall for several days. If Poor Dao had known this, it would have been better to turn himself in quickly! ”

Qiu Yizhi didn't know which sentence was true and which was false, and he was not in the mood to talk nonsense with her, so he said very coldly: "Since you like to stay here, cherish this time!" I'm afraid that these days may not last long. ”

After saying that, Qiu Yizhi glanced at Yu Chi Jiming.

Yu Chi Jiming nodded, stretched out his hand and grabbed Miaozhen's shackled right foot, and as soon as he vomited, he had already pinched Miaozhen's ankle and dislocated!
