Speaking of the changes in the yamen, there are mainly the following points-

First of all, it is about the rules of litigation, because from He Ruichang himself to these officials who are on errand in the county government, everyone has felt that the common people are afraid of the official office itself, and they often prefer to suffer losses rather than go to court to file complaints. Therefore, at the suggestion of Zong Jiyuan, the "tenth" day of each month was designated as the "day of the announcement", that is, during the tenth, twentieth, and thirtieth days of the first month, those who came to complain could be exempted from the punishment of the rod, as long as it was out of legitimate demand, and there was no need to worry about any accountability;

Secondly, it is the county Cheng Zhang Wenbing, Lord Zhang, who resigned and returned to his hometown due to poor health, He Ruichang simply recommended Zong Jiyuan to act as an agent for this vacant position, naturally, she still has to continue to bear the position of this master;

Moreover, what everyone didn't expect was that Zheng Youyi, the head catcher in Anping County, was really transferred to Liaodong County as he said. are all acquaintances, and they really need manpower, He Ruichang directly arranged for him to be the deputy head catcher and Diao Sanlang to be his deputy.

It seems that everything is very agreeable, but Zong Jiyuan has never forgotten the matter of "Overlord Village", although this period of time is calm on the surface, but who can guarantee that under this calm, there is not an undercurrent surging, and it is even very likely that the undercurrent has been generated. Moreover, after the lesson of the last time, Zong Jiyuan has already made up his mind, this time he will not passively wait for the opponent to calculate, no matter what, he must make sufficient preparations first in order to deal with those conspiracies that will come at an unknown time.

On this day, because the affairs of the Yazhong have been relatively idle recently, and it is not a "announcement day", Zong Jiyuan felt that it was time to complete the thing that had to be done.

casually found a reason, told Lord He for three days of leave, and asked Diao Saburo and Zheng Youyi a few words, and after the explanation was given, he led his horse and walked out of the gate of the county office. But before Zong Jiyuan got on the horse, he heard a loud shout behind him, which made the two officers on duty in front of the door startled.

"Ji Yuan! Ji Yuan, wait for me! ”

"Oh my God, Brother Qingyu,"

Just listening to the voice, I knew who was coming, Zong Jiyuan turned around with a smile and said,

"What's the matter, you're in such a hurry, is there something urgent going on?"

"Of course,"

He Qingyu said seriously,

"If I hadn't been clever, I would have slipped away from you, what could be more urgent than being slipped away by Ji Yuan!"

"How can it be slippery, the little brother just wants to go home and see,"

Actually, in his heart, Zong Jiyuan really didn't want to involve the son of the county magistrate, so he told a lie.

"Even if Brother Qingyu has already become the younger brother's helper, do you have to go home together?"

"Home?"

He Qingyu was stunned at first, but when he thought about it, a sly smile immediately appeared on his face,

"Ji Yuan, don't coax me to be a brother, you just went home a few days ago, how could you go back again? What's more, you haven't been home for more than two days at any time, so how can you take three days off this time? ”

"Uh, you've seen through it,"

Seeing that he was not able to "deceive" others, Zong Jiyuan had no choice but to scratch his head and say,

"Brother Qingyu is really smart, okay, let's be honest with you, the younger brother is going to a village in the east to visit a few friends, and I originally wanted to take you with me, but that friend's family lives a relatively simple life, and I am worried that Brother Qingyu will not eat well and live there, so I ......"

"That's why you didn't call me?"

It's better if she doesn't explain, but with such an explanation, He Qingyu actually showed an expression of disbelief, and even looked a little annoyed.

"Ji Yuan, are you really thinking that I am one of those gentlemen, can't you bear any hardship? Don't worry, I can go wherever you can, and I will be able to eat whatever you can eat! ”

"Okay, I'm wrong, little brother, okay,"

Seeing that he was really anxious, and he was still a little aggrieved, Zong Jiyuan smiled slightly,

"So, please ask Brother Qingyu to suffer, how about walking with me?"

"Yes, this is my good brother. Wait, I'll go say hello to my father. ”

As he spoke, He Qingyu ran and walked back inside, and in a short time, he ran back at the same speed, and at the same time took the horse he often rode out of the stable, and happily followed Zong Jiyuan's side.

The two walked side by side, because the time was not tight, there was no need to hurry up, so when they went out of the county from the east city gate, the speed of the march was not particularly fast, and they chatted while walking, on the surface, it was relaxed and comfortable.

In fact, the purpose of Zong Jiyuan's trip out of the city this time was to track down a clue, speaking of which, this clue had already been seen as early as the time of the investigation of "Fengming Villa", but it was not until the process of the case of Yu Chunjue that it became clear, and this is also the only one that has the clearest clue about "Overlord Village".

Being able to come out alone with Zong Jiyuan again, He Qingyu looked very excited, after coming out of the county seat, his mouth didn't stop for long, and at this moment, he actually remembered the scene when the two of them walked together last time.

"Ji Yuan, last time the two of us raced and galloped, it really made me feel so happy."

"Oh, yes,"

Turning his head and looking at his eager face, Zong Jiyuan said in his heart, happiness is happy, but there will definitely be no second time, so he preemptively admonished him.

"It's just that the little brother won't do that again, because it's too dangerous, and the terrain here is not suitable for that kind of running at all."

"Well, I was just going to tell you to do it again, okay, if you don't run, you won't run,"

He Qingyu was a little lost, but soon remembered something, and his handsome long eyebrows raised slightly, and said,

"Why don't we compare our fists and feet?"

"Huh? Than punches and kicks? ”

Zong Jiyuan listened angrily and funny, and said,

"How can that compare? We're on our way now, and we can't let the horses walk on the ground, and we two are fighting on the horses. ”

"Not really...... But we can get off the horse and fight,"

He Qingyu pondered and said,

"Ah, no, it's not a fight, it's a fight, let the horses rest next to it for a while, eat some grass, and the two of us go to the side of the road to have a good discussion, alas, to put it bluntly, it's Ji Yuan, you teach me a few tricks, give me good guidance, how about it?"

"This, I said Brother Qingyu, according to your thoughts, are we still in a hurry?"

Zong Jiyuan couldn't laugh or cry.

He Qingyu looked like a matter of course,

"Let's make a few moves here, and we won't delay too much time, anyway, it seems that you are not particularly anxious Ji Yuan."
