Chapter 9: This Bastard!
In the past few days, no people have redressed, and Qiushui County is still peaceful. There is no official business, but Mei Xiaoren wanders in the backyard with a heavy heart.
The official document reporting the "tattoo" mystery has been sent away, and the bandits have also been escorted to Xuanzhou by officials sent by the prefect. Not only did they commit crimes in Qiushui County, but they were also allowed to be taken to the state capital for interrogation by the prefect according to the law.
Now Mei Xiaoren can leave this case alone, after all, if it is really the official of the imperial court who manipulates the bandits to rob the house, she has a seven-rank county order, I am afraid she will not be able to manage it.
The burden on her shoulders was much lighter, but she held a letter she had received in the morning, which made her newly relieved heart clench again.
It didn't take long for Mei Xiaoren to receive another letter from the state government.
Ye Zhi sent an official document but was also curious: "There was an echo so soon?" ”
Mei Xiaoren was also surprised, because the official document had only been sent away for a few days, and the state capital found out the origin of the tattoo so quickly?
There's also the possibility that it's not about tattoos.
Mei Xiaoren recognized that the words on the cover were from the hand of Li Zhifu. She had received a lot of such brochures, all of which were official documents written by Governor Li himself to praise her, and she collected them as treasures.
This time, I may be praising her for doing a good job of suppressing bandits.
A light smile had already appeared on Mei Xiaoren's lips, and he opened the official document to look at it.
Ye Zhitong guessed the content of the official document, and he was also very happy.
But the change of wind and clouds was instantaneous, and the smile on Mei Xiaoren's lips disappeared in an instant, replaced by her tightly locked eyebrows, like a torch gaze......
"My lord, what's the matter?"
Mei Xiaoren suddenly closed the booklet and fanned it on the stone table, letting the wrinkled booklet lie on the stone table.
Ye Zhi felt that it was not good, so he took the official document and read it for himself, and suddenly changed his face in shock.
What was written above, Mei Xiaoren didn't expect it, and he couldn't think of it.
Ye Zhihe slowly closed the official document and put it on the table, not daring to make a sound, because nothing like this had happened in the past two years.
The robbery of the village will damage the face of the adult, and this official document will ruin the future of the adult......
"Which bastard dares to sue Lao Tzu!"
Mei Xiaoren hated it in his heart!
I don't know which damn prefect sued her, saying that she had colluded with the bandits, and asked the bandits to help her suppress the bandits.
She just had no choice but to let the thieves who had received her favor do a small favor, but who knew that she was sued to the state capital by adding fuel and vinegar. Now it's okay, the bosses of Xuanzhou Mansion know that she has colluded with the bandits.
If Lao Li hadn't trusted her and helped her suppress this matter, I am afraid that what was delivered today would not be an official document, but a ...... Removal Papers!
But even if Governor Li helped Mei Xiaoren, he didn't let Mei Xiaoren get any favors, and he came to reprimand her with such a handwritten letter, and there was fire between the lines.
In addition, Governor Li also added an errand to her locally.
At this time, isn't it obvious that she should continue to stay here as a county magistrate?
Any promotion seems to have become a luxury, and her two years of hard work are ruined today.
No matter how many political achievements there are, they can't match such a sentence of collusion between officials and bandits!
"My lord's anger, with Lord Li's trust in my lord, I shouldn't give up on my lord."
"Lao Ye, you don't have to comfort me, I have been an official for two years, and I claim to be a roundworm in the prefect's belly, so I don't know the stakes?" Mei Xiaoren glanced sideways slightly and smiled bitterly.
"There may be room for redemption."
Mei Xiaoren sat down slowly, how to solve it? Only the money comes directly, but her private treasury has lasted for two years and is almost dry, where to find the silver.
While Mei Xiaoren was trying to calm down the influence, he was also thinking about who the person who sued was.
In the past two years, she has done her best for the people of Qiushui County, and there is no merit and hard work, and the people of Qiushui County will take revenge and betray her?
Unlikely.
That's someone retaliating.
Mei Xiaoren carefully sorted out the people who had a holiday with her recently, and the general of the garrison outside the city was counted as one, but the garrison would not poke this matter out, because she borrowed the bandits to suppress the bandits because the garrison deliberately made things difficult and refused to help. If the garrison were to take this complaint, they would have to put themselves in it.
Then there's one more ......
Eei!
Afterwards, Mei Xiaoren sent someone to inquire and confirmed that Jiang Rong had left Qiushui County a few days ago and came back yesterday.
This is no coincidence.
Welcome House - the best inn in Qiushui County.
More than a dozen officials went in and out, driving away all the guests in the building, but they did not disturb the upper room. They guarded the corridors up and down the stairs to make sure that no one escaped the palms of adults for a while.
Mei Xiaoren walked straight into the inn, went straight up the stairs, and went straight to the upper room, and when Zhou Hu broke down the door, she broke straight in, and scanned the room with a knife-like gaze, looking for the figure she wanted to strangle to death.
"Who dares to break into my son's room and die?"
A voice came from behind the beaded curtain.
This voice is very familiar to Mei Xiaoren. She looked for the sound and walked like flying, opened the bead curtain that blocked her vision, folded the fan and pointed directly at the person sitting on the bed, and said directly: "Is it you who sued?" ”
Jiang Rong was disturbed by Mei Xiaoren to take a nap, and he was only wearing a thin bedclothes. He angrily pointed at Mei Xiaoren: "Sue, what is the complaint?" This son is only going to sue you for trespassing now! ”
Mei Xiaoren took a step forward, grabbed Jiang Rong's wrist suddenly, and glared angrily, "You dare to say that you didn't tell the prefect how I killed the bandits?" ”
"Oh, that's what you're talking about." Jiang Rong changed his previous anger, and instead smiled a little proudly, "What, make your life sad?" ”
"Sure enough, it's you!"
The strength of Mei Xiaoren's palm increased a little more, even if it was not as strong as a man, it made Jiang Rong feel uncomfortable.
Jiang Rong wanted to withdraw his hand, but the more he moved, the tighter Mei Xiaoren grabbed it, which showed how angry Mei Xiaoren was.
The more unhappy Mei Xiaoren became, the happier Jiang Rong became: "Villain, what you did yourself, are you still afraid that I will tell the prefect?" ”
"Lao Tzu is a bandit, what's in your way!"
"You don't invite the imperial court, gather bandits and bandits privately, and put the prefect where is the imperial court?"
"Wait for the imperial court to send troops, Xuanzhou Mansion will still have finished land?"
"Actually, I didn't bother to ask you how to suppress the bandits, I just wanted to deal with you. I haven't bothered you these days, and that's because Ben Gongzi is inquiring in the city. ”
Mei Xiaoren's eyebrows were still tightly locked, "What do you ask?" ”
"The people say that this place used to be notoriously poor and remote, and even beggars had to take a detour when they saw it, and it is thanks to you that we can have the wealth we have now."
Ye Zhihan said angrily: "Then you still ruined the reputation of the adult." ”
"Does he have a reputation?" Jiang Rong sneered, took the robe with one hand and put it on, stood in front of Mei Xiaoren and asked, "A city has changed in two years, relying on a lot of silver, and you have a county order, where does you get so much silver?" ”
Mei Xiaoren raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "What's the matter with you?" ”
"If you hadn't colluded with the bandits to make a lot of ill-gotten gains, would you have the money to buy the people to falsify their political achievements? If there are a few more corrupt officials like you in Daning, they will not be defeated! ”
Jiang Rong saw the anger in Mei Xiaoren's eyes, but he didn't give Mei Xiaoren a chance to argue, and then said: "In my opinion, you have already colluded with the bandits and made a lot of ill-gotten gains, and those bandits are also your people, right?" On the surface, it's black and black, but in fact it's just acting, who are you doing it for? ”
Mei Xiaoren's hand suddenly clenched, gathering all the resentment in the palm of his hand, and pinched Jiang Rong painfully. Jiang Rong frowned, "Let go, let me tell you, this son must be offended by you!" ”
"If you're sick, go home and get treated, it's not going to do you any good to deal with me here."
"Why is there no benefit, I'm happy, happiness is the rarest." Ei shrugged and laughed lightly.
