"Third Brother Diao, weren't you earlier?"

While smiling and saying hello to him, Zong Jiyuan looked at the other party, but when he saw it, he suddenly felt an urge to laugh.

Diao Saburo is also a very famous person in Liaodong County, righteous and enthusiastic, and he can do the position of chief catcher, and his skills are naturally not bad, plus he himself is dignified and extraordinary, and the impression left by people has always been majestic.

However, at this time, this dignified Diao head was carrying a bucket in his hand, his hat was not worn, his clothes were tucked into the belt around his waist, and there seemed to be a lot of water splashing on his body, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a guy who was cleaning in a restaurant.

Seeing Ji Yuan's stunned expression, Diao Saburo couldn't help but laugh and said,

"Brother Ji Yuan, you came just in time, I'll take a look with the third brother."

"Oh, okay......"

Knowing that the other party must have some good intentions, Zong Jiyuan followed him into the small door without hesitation, only to find that there was a small garden here, although the season was still early, and there were not many flowers and plants that could bloom, but it could be seen from the structure that the design of this garden was still very exquisite.

At this time, Diao Saburo had already pushed open a door next to him,

"Ji Yuan, go in and see if it's to your liking."

"It's ......"

Although Zong Jiyuan had guessed seven or eight points, when she walked into the room, her heart was still warmed by the situation.

It turns out that this is a study that is not big, but it is not small-

The room is very good, is divided into two rooms inside and outside by a carved screen, there is a table and two chairs in the outer room, all of them are rosewood, it looks very magnificent, the four treasures of the study room on the table are very complete, there is a bookshelf against the wall, there is more than one person high, next to a slightly smaller one is a roll cabinet, at a glance, it is used to put paperwork files. There is also a small kang in the inner room behind the screen, and there is a wardrobe against the wall......

Looking at these simple but thoughtful furnishings, Zong Jiyuan was happy in his heart.

At this time, there were four servants in the yamen in the room, some holding basins, some holding rags, and some holding a broom.

Sure enough, Diao Saburo put down the bucket in his hand and said,

"Brother Ji Yuan, this is what our family adults instructed our brothers to clean up for you, saying that they are worried that the master has just come to Yazhong to do things and is not used to being noisy with us, and in the future, this study will be specially used by you."

"Lord He really has a heart,"

After sighing softly, Zong Jiyuan clasped his hands into fists and saluted everyone in the room, saying,

"Ji Yuan, thank you brothers."

"Master, don't be so polite, I will rely on your help in the future."

Diao Saburo smiled heartily, and then pointed to the roll cabinet and said,

"By the way, all the official documents and materials you asked me to find about those cases are put there, Ji Yuan, you can check them casually."

"Thank you, Third Brother Diao."

Zong Jiyuan nodded with satisfaction.

As he was talking, another errand came in from outside the door, holding a teapot in his hand, on which were placed a teapot and four sets of tea dishes, all of which were Jingdezhen fine porcelain, together with a pot of tea, and placed on the table upright. Everything was cleaned up, Diao Saburo said hello, and retreated with the others.

Open the cabinet, take out all the files inside, put them on the table, and then slowly sit down at the table.

At this time, he had been moved by the enthusiasm of these people in the yazhong, so that Zong Jiyuan's mood was quite restless, and it took a while for him to regain his calm, and he said in his heart, no matter what, it would be good to figure out the cases in front of him first.

The surroundings are very quiet, no one comes to disturb them, but fortunately, there is no business to take care of in front of the hall, so you can come to understand the case with peace of mind.

In this way, as I calmed down for a few days, I carefully looked at each case in order marked above, and while keeping almost every case in my heart, I also wrote down some key points from time to time.

Looking at it, Zong Jiyuan suddenly stood up, thought about it for a while, walked quickly to the bookshelf to look for it, flipped through it for a while, and really saw what he wanted, and hurriedly took it to the table and spread it out-

It turned out that this was an official geographical map of Liaoyang Prefecture.

After patiently finding the location of the crime on the map and marking it slightly, a noteworthy area was finally presented......

These days are finally not in vain, while stretching their waists, while pondering, if you want to know more details, you still have to visit the local area.

I had just had this preliminary plan in my heart, and suddenly, a rapid drum beat came from the front. Zong Jiyuan's spirit was suddenly shocked, and the dark road and Dengwen drums were beaten, so someone came to complain. Thinking of this, my heart began to be inexplicably excited, because after all, she was still very young, and the unique curiosity that belonged to children was still very strong, and it was the first time that she could have the opportunity to watch the trial of the case at close range in the county hall, of course, she would feel happy.

Got up and roughly cleaned up the paperwork on the table, Ji Yuan went out of the room and came to the lobby briskly, but saw that Diao Saburo had already arrived with all the officials, and stood on both sides in an orderly manner.

And Zong Jiyuan didn't know where his position was, and just wanted to ask Diao Sanlang, but he saw He Ruichang neatly turned out of the back hall in his official uniform, and when he saw her, he nodded slightly, and gestured to the left side.

"Master, just sit here."

"Thank you, sir."

thanked him very politely, and after the lord took his seat after the public case, Zong Jiyuan also sat down.

Everything was ready, He Ruichang patted the wooden road,

"The one who beats the drums comes to the church!"

"The drummer is in the hall—"

The officer standing at the entrance of the hall shouted loudly.

This is the first time to watch the Yamen'er trial from this angle, and from himself I can clearly see every movement of the messenger who shouted the hall, I saw that he unconsciously stretched his stomach in order to raise his voice, and looked like a big rooster that was crowing, which made Zong Jiyuan can't help but almost laugh out loud, but because this is in such a serious court, everyone else is serious, of course he can't be presumptuous, so he has to endure it as much as he can.

Just when Ji Yuan was about to hold back his internal injuries, the drummer had already walked up to the hall-

It is more appropriate to say that he walked into the hall, but it is better to say that he fell in.
