Entering the second hall, I quickly glanced at the furnishings in the room with my eyes, and saw that the inside was quite spacious, except for the most books, there was almost no superfluous furniture and things, which seemed simple and simple.

He Ruichang is about forty years old, and he is born with kindness, giving people a feeling of being very willing to approach, and when he saw him, his eyes immediately showed a full smile.

Zong Jiyuan took a few steps and stepped forward to salute,

"Student Zong Jiyuan greets adults."

As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed.

Lord He hurriedly helped him up,

"Hurry up, please get up, Xiao Xiutong, who was twelve years old, and now he has won the promotion, this is the pride of our Liaodong County, and this official has always wanted to meet Mr."

"The students are young and ignorant, and the adults praise them falsely."

Bian politely, Zong Jiyuan sat down with Master He.

Diao Saburo also sat down and said,

"Today is also a coincidence, my subordinates took the brothers outside the city to investigate the case, who knew that I met Young Master Zong."

"Oh, yes,"

After his mention, He Ruichang hurriedly asked,

"What happened to Cui Jiaji? What are the details of the murder? ”

"It's Cui Zhan's daughter, Xiaoyingzi, who was killed for some reason,"

Diao Saburo sighed softly,

"The poor boy was only eleven years old, but it seemed unusual to his subordinates, and there was always a feeling that something was not quite right...... Young Master Zong, what do you say? ”

Speaking of which, there is something wrong with Diao Saburo, it seems that he likes to involve him very much, although Zong Jiyuan has already noticed it, but he is really too concerned about this case in his heart, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and when he saw that the other party asked, he nodded and said,

"The student also thinks so, judging from the scene of the crime, there are indeed many unreasonable places, Diao Zhutou, have you ever asked the informant, has the scene been moved?"

"I really asked, then Cui Jiang said that it was like that from the time he found out, and no one had touched it."

Diao Saburo seemed very cooperative and approving, and immediately replied.

Zong Jiyuan nodded and said,

"It is puzzling, then, that the murderer ought to cover up his crime as much as possible, but the place where the child died was on the edge of the woods, and could easily be discovered; If it is because he was in a hurry to commit the crime and didn't have time to hide it, judging from the scene, you must have noticed that Xiao Yingzi's body was placed very properly, and even the clothes looked like they had been specially sorted out, which clearly shows that the murderer had enough time to commit the crime and did not flee from there in a hurry......"

Speaking of this, he suddenly found that the two officials in front of him were looking at him with good eyes, so he involuntarily stopped, blushed slightly in embarrassment, and said,

"The student was abrupt ......"

"No, no, no,"

Diao Saburo waved his hand again and again,

"Young Master Zong, your analysis is not bad at all, no wonder our Lord He has been praising you, saying that although you are young, you are only eight buckets tall and smart, and our county lacks a talent like you Young Master Zong."

"Huh?"

Zong Jiyuan was stunned for a moment, as if he understood something,

"My lord, Ji Yuan is only eighteen years old, he is too young, I am afraid that he will live up to your high expectations."

"Mr. Zong is smart,"

Seeing that he had understood what Diao Saburo meant by specially inviting him to Yazhong, He Ruichang smiled and said,

"But although you are indeed young, you are already one of the few people in this county, and judging from the talent you have shown in the past, Mr. Zong will definitely become the top figure in this office."

"But, the student ......"

Seeing that these two people really hoped that they could join the government as an errand boy, Zong Jiyuan was still very uneasy in his heart, and he hesitated and couldn't make up his mind.

Seeing that he still had the intention of shirking, Diao Saburo sighed heavily,

"Young Master Zong, I won't tell you anything, this county government is in a very difficult situation now. As you know, Lord He is a rare clean official, and he refuses to cling to the powerful people in his superiors, so they are excluded everywhere, always make things difficult, and do not send personnel to enrich our county, so that now the errands in this government are some loyal brothers who are grateful for the grace of the lords. But even so, knowing that we are understaffed here, we often assign some irrelevant cases to adults, which makes everyone tired and has little salary, which is really ......."

"Alright, Saburo,"

He Ruichang interrupted him, and said to Zong Jiyuan,

"Although it shouldn't be said like this, but this is indeed the truth in my county government, such a difficult mission, but this official came to invite Mr. Zong, this is really unreasonable, I hope to forgive me."

"No, no, Lord Ho must not say that......"

Zongji Yuan is a very emotional person, although he is extremely smart, but he is born with a warm-hearted heart, seeing the parents of the county, at this time he said this to himself, he was already moved, plus he was unable to save Xiaoyingzi after all, and he has been thinking about it, thinking that if he joins the public, he can really investigate the case thoroughly and avenge the child, so he has secretly made up his mind in his heart, but he still hesitates on the surface, and says,

"It's just, my lord, this matter is not a trivial matter, can you allow the student to go home and show his mother, discuss it with her old man, and then make a decision?"

"It's nature,"

Seeing that there was still room for maneuver in the matter, He Ruichang nodded again and again,

"It's normal to get my mother's permission, but no matter what the outcome is, I hope I can give a clear answer to the official as soon as possible."

"The student knows about it, and he will definitely reply within three days."

Zong Jiyuan got up and saluted and took his leave......

It's already getting dark.

Because he had something on his mind, after having dinner with his family, Zong Jiyuan went back to his room, thought about it, and thought about what to do.

Speaking of which, the clan in Liaodong County can be regarded as a famous family, and the branch outside the north gate with the fourth master of the clan and Zong Zhiming - that is, Zong Jiyuan's father - as the head of the family, is a miracle, mainly because they were originally developed in the capital, and only returned to the local area thirteen years ago, but they did not rely on any help from their own family to set up another door, but they were able to do business in Liaodong County in just over ten years, and their strength has far exceeded that of their own family. It's just a pity that the fourth master of Zong, who was only in his forties, died early and passed away.

With such a big family business, how can I do it if I don't take it on my own?

This is where Zong Jiyuan is most entangled.

Speaking from the heart, Ji Yuan is not particularly interested in doing business, but if he doesn't take over, his mother won't be too hard.
