When Ye Zhi heard this, he put down the teacup and said calmly: "Brother Wu is too worried, it is our errand to catch Shen Zhixin, so we don't have to bother Lord Yin." ”

Wu Xian persuaded: "Master Ye, now is not the time for you to fight for toughness, the top priority is to catch the prisoner and go back to the errand, otherwise the prime minister will blame him, and Lord Shangshu can't afford it." He looked at Mei Xiaoren and smiled undiminishedly, "With Lord Yin here, presumably Shen Zhixin will not be able to escape." ”

Since they were still studying in Jinshan Academy, Mei Xiaoren felt that Wu Xian was hypocritical, and now that he has become an official, people can't listen to flattering words.

Mei Xiaoren said lightly: "Lord Wu has won the award, this is an errand handed over by Xiangye to the Ministry of Officials, even if we want to intervene in the Beijing Government Bureau, Lord Shangshu may not agree." She added, "But everyone is an official in the same dynasty, and there is no reason for any yamen to stand idly by. ”

Wu Xian stood up and said politely: "Thank you, Lord Yin, I am grateful." ”

After discussing the errand of the ministry, Mei Xiaoren left the county office with the county order and went to the street to have a look.

Wu Xian and Ye Zhi stood up according to the rules and gave them away, and then Ye Zhi went out without saying a word.

Wu Xian sat down, picked up the teacup and drank tea leisurely, the corners of his lips raised, "Colleagues and colleagues, if you don't do errands together, how can you remember the other party's goodness." ”

An hour later, notices about Shen Zhixin's arrest were plastered all over the county, attracting people to stop and watch, pointing at the people on the portrait.

"Look, what's so good about being an official, that general can be wronged, such a petty official can't die faster?"

Mei Xiaoren stood outside the crowd in his usual clothes, and when he heard this, he shook his head helplessly.

Even the people in the small county town took the risk to hold on to it, which shows how popular the original Zhenguo general was.

That day, the scholar of the guard was only halfway through what she said, but she vaguely heard that the collaborator case more than 20 years ago seemed to be related to the old prime minister.

No matter who tried the case, if it is mentioned again now, there will be an incident, and after she met with the county order, she asked the county order to start suppressing these rumors.

In the evening, Mei Xiaoren and the county magistrate returned to the county office, and the master of the county magistrate greeted him with a smile, "The adults have worked hard, dinner has been prepared, please come inside." ”

"There is labor." Mei Xiaoren said politely.

She stepped into the mansion first, and heard the master say to the county order behind her: "My lord, as the saying goes, the snow is not cold, and the snow is cold, and the adults have to wear more clothes when they go out, don't catch a cold." ”

The county magistrate said: "I know, you have been busy all day today, go and rest, by the way, is your father's illness better?" ”

"Lord Xie cares, it's much better, thanks to the prescription that the adult collected for the little one, that medicine does have a miraculous effect."

Mei Xiaoren felt as if a string had been plucked inexplicably.

Not every county magistrate will care about the food and clothing of the county order, they are the clerks of the yamen, and it is not their job to take care of the county order, so she feels similar......

Mei Xiaoren kept his eyes calm and slowed down.

Someone stood in front of the hall and watched them return, and she heard the same voice, frowning slightly.

Ye Zhi's sight has always been in the figure of Mei Xiaoren, he didn't say a word, but his mind was bound by old memories, and then he couldn't help but call: "My lord......"

The layout of the county government was much the same, Mei Xiaoren looked up and saw Ye Zhi standing there, as if she was waiting for her to come back for dinner in the past, which made her think that time could really go backwards.

But the master, who was unknown by her side at the beginning, is now wearing a six-grade official uniform, which is also reminding her that the past can only be the past.

Mei Xiaoren looked at him calmly and asked, "Is there something wrong with Lord Ye?" ”

Ye Zhi's solemn expression gradually calmed down, he took a step back towards the door, and said, "Dinner has been prepared, Lord Fu Yin, please." ”

There were only four people sitting at the dinner table, but the table was full of delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Mei Xiaoren followed the Prime Minister to eat and drink spicy food every day, and she had seen all the dishes on the table, but there was one thing that made her gaze.

Each of them had a soup cup in front of them, which contained Yancai lily porridge, Mei Xiaoren's favorite porridge.

Whenever a subordinate wants to entertain his boss, he will inquire about his superior's preferences in advance. Mei Xiaoren is a celebrity in front of the Prime Minister, and her preferences are like those of the officials in Beijing, for example, she doesn't particularly like which dish, but she is a Jiangnan native and likes the taste of Jiangnan; Pastries like Qingfu Zhai's bird's nest crisp with less sugar; As for porridge, I only love swallow and lily porridge.

Mei Xiaoren was scooping the porridge with a spoon, and the person who cooked the porridge best sat next to her......

When everyone was eating, an official messenger who delivered an official letter came from outside the door, and presented the letter with both hands, "Lord Fu Yin, the capital is urgent." ”

When the letter arrived in Mei Xiaoren's hand, she opened it and saw that Fu Cheng wrote on the letter that Yinyuetai was going to interrogate Xiuyu, so she sent a letter to report it.

Chu Yu still didn't dispel his suspicions about Xiuyu, and he didn't know what Xiuyu's purpose was, but he just guessed that one of the purposes might be to sow discord, so when Xiuyu stirred up trouble, Chu Yu didn't interfere much, so as not to get separated from the Wei Shuying brothers.

Later, Xiuyu's conspiracy was revealed, and she was arrested and taken to the Shangjing Prefecture, but they still did not rule out that the scholar had residual feelings in his heart, so they planned to wait for Wei Shuying to forget Xiuyu before arraignment.

Now that only a month has passed, Mei Xiaoren guessed that it was not that the scholar had forgotten Xiuyu, but that the scholar and Mrs. Wei had made progress.

If Mrs. Wei had changed her mind, then of course the scholar would not pay attention to any confidantes, and would not care who was punished or killed.

Mei Xiaoren was still only ready to stay in Chongyi County for two days, and as for Wu Xian and Ye Zhi's need for help, she knew that the county commander would help them with all their might, and the officials here were enough to help them arrest people.

On the second day, Mei Xiaoren read the files in the yamen for a day, and it was getting late before she left the lobby and went back to the backyard to rest.

As soon as she entered the backyard with her front feet, someone behind her shouted, "Lord Fu Yin." ”

It was Wu Xian's voice, and it was a little anxious.

She stopped and turned around, and saw Wu Xian coming in from outside in a hurry, standing in front of her and saying: "My lord, Master Ye learned of Shen Zhixin's whereabouts more than half an hour ago, and he has personally brought people over to arrest him, but he has just learned that Shen Zhixin has bribed a group of people from the rivers and lakes to be guards, and those are all outlaws with high martial arts, and he is worried that Lord Ye will be in danger." ”

Mei Xiaoren hurriedly asked, "Where are the fugitives?" ”

"In Jinghualou, it is a place of wind and moon."

The sky has already darkened, and it is the time for fireworks to do business in Liudi, but I think there will be no shortage of people there.

Mei Xiaoren felt that if the fugitives really had guards around them, then they could only outwit them and not force them, otherwise once the fugitives held innocent people hostage, they would have to compromise and release them.
