Chapter 32: It's a Dream After All
It doesn't matter if you go to eat this time, two side dishes and a bottle of good wine can fill your stomach if you make do with it.
But it took a long time to eat this meal, from noon directly to Shenshi, it took two or three hours, but Chen Wei and Cui Qi didn't care, and completely forgot the two people from the prefect's yamen.
Li Si and Zhang San, when Chen Wei left, scolded each other, and I don't know how long they scolded, both of them felt dry, so they began to scold in their hearts, and even the eighteenth generation of their ancestors were scolded, but they didn't know it.
Now Zhang San's eyes are hollow, his expression is dull, like a dead corpse, how can he not move, he can't even open his mouth to scold Li Si, because he is too tired, and after a few hours of scolding Li Si, the whole person has been exhausted.
Li Si scolded even more in his heart, all kinds of filthy words came out of his heart, if he still had the energy to open his mouth to scold, the scolding between the two would be a "feast." ”
"Have you eaten yet? We've been drinking for a few hours, and you're not drunk yet, is there sea in your stomach? Cui Qi was full of alcohol, and couldn't help but be a little nauseous, and said provocatively.
"Even if you dare to compare with me, isn't this just you standing under my sword?"
Chen Wei said domineeringly, there is a "no one in the world knows the king" ambition, but he said a little angrily: "I drink too much, I always think of it as if there is something I haven't done, do you know what else is going on?" ”
"Huh? Isn't it just that I have a case in the prefect's yamen that has not been answered, and they are still waiting for us there, hehehehe! ”
Cui Qi still remembers this incident, but only because of drinking, he has now completely blocked everything, including this case.
"Didn't you say it earlier, those two waited for us for two or three hours, if this was seen by the new prefect, we don't know how our lives ended!"
Chen Wei's impression is that if it weren't for his official position, if someone said that he was a bandit, someone would definitely really believe it, but in private, he was actually a very honest and meticulous person.
Chen Wei walked quickly to the prefect's yamen, saw that the two of them were still lying on the ground, saw that someone was already asleep, one was still snoring, and the other seemed to be closing his eyes to recuperate, but he couldn't tell the truth from the false.
"Are you two alright?" Chen Wei asked with concern, and then said: "Come on, moisten their throats, they have been arguing for an hour or two in the afternoon, and it is estimated that their voices are about to be wasted!" ”
"My lord, you are finally here, we are fine, I just want to figure out these cases now, my wife is still waiting for me, I want to go home!" Zhang San was very eager, walking around in front of the prefect, his expression was also very nervous and serious, and even tears flashed in his eyes.
Li Si's behavior is different, compared to Zhang San's steadiness, it is more like a kind of madness, you run directly to the desk, crying frantically: "There is only one cow in my family, without it, how should I live, there must be a result today, otherwise either you die or I die!" ”
After hearing this, Chen Wei looked haggard, he couldn't stand it and covered his forehead with his hand, couldn't help sighing, and thought in his heart: There is no evidence, how should this be done? Who can come and save me!
"What happened this time?" Following the source of the voice, a group of young men and women stood in front of the prefect's yamen and asked with a smile.
This group of men and women, in fact, is Li Xiaoran and them, they have just arrived at the prefect, and they asked several people on the way to know the exact route, otherwise, maybe they will get lost in Qinzhou.
Xuanyuan Qinghe originally thought that he walked in in a chic and domineering manner, took out the edict, announced his identity as the prefect, and then accepted the model worship of his subordinates, but when he walked in the door, he found that only one or two people were trying the case, and it was only about the cow.
"The public decides the case, don't disturb the rest of the staff!" Chen Wei looked down on Li Xiaoran and them, so he simply ignored them and ignored them directly.
"Am I being ignored?" Xuanyuan Qinghe asked a question from his heart, while Li Xiaoran and Shen Luo nodded with a smile, and said together: "Young man, come on!" ”
Xuanyuan Qinghe is directly messy, he has been ignored since Suzhou, and he is still ignored again, what has happened to this, do you have to let me practice my identity, Xuanyuan Qinghe expressed doubts in his heart.
"I am the newly appointed prefect of Qinzhou, who is in front of me, and what is the first judgment?"
After Chen Wei heard this, after carefully looking at Xuanyuan Qinghe, the whole person did not move, as if time and space were still, like a stubborn stone, unshakable.
Chen Wei is stupid, this... It's too fake, I just want to slap a grass farmer casually, but I find out that it is the newly appointed prefect and my boss, which is too!
Chen Wei had a loveless face, and hurriedly said: "Prison Commander Chen Wei, I have seen the prefect, I wonder if the adult can have a certificate, or an official seal?" ”
Xuanyuan Qinghe groped in his arms for a long time, took out a jade seal, took out the edict together, and threw it directly to Chen Wei.
Then Xuanyuan Qinghe said proudly: "The last time I met bandits, the owner of the village wanted to search my body, but I only found the edict, but I didn't find this official seal, hahaha!" ”
Chen Wei saw that this edict was actually a holy decree, and it was written by His Majesty himself, with the seal of heaven and earth benevolence.
The whole person is messy again, the words are that the new prefect has also arrived, but I also saw it above, and the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, and the most terrible person, Shen Luo, the superintendent of the Si Tisi, actually came, this Nima is not just joking?
Chen Wei is in a very complicated mood now, it will be difficult to get along in the future, wow, "Why hasn't this guy Cui Qi come yet, what are you doing?!" Chen Wei said in a very small voice, this voice is only afraid that only bees can hear it, so he is not worried that it will be heard by Li Xiaoran and others.
"My lord, please take it, I have confirmed your identity, and now that you are here, you can start working on this tricky case!" Chen Wei directly pushed Xuanyuan Qinghe to the position of the prefect, and then threw the case to him, just standing aside and smiling innocently.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Xuanyuan Qinghe quickly entered the state, Shen Luo leaned against the door frame, looking like he was ready to watch a play; Li Xiaoran felt very bored, so he had to listen to the case together.
After listening to Chen Wei's description, the scene in Xuanyuan Qinghe's mind was directly spread out like a three-dimensional pattern, and all kinds of memory evidence poured into his mind and continued to unfold.
Since Zhang San has a contract, Li Si sued him for stealing cattle, the two are neighbors, does Li Si have cattle? Or is it that Zhang San and Li Si are lying, all of this is still being sorted out, after Xuanyuan Qinghe listened, he felt that his scalp was swollen and he didn't have a clue.
"Zhang San, tell me, what kind of person is Li Si?"
When he was at a loss, Li Xiaoran suddenly said, and everyone was attracted by this Li Xiaoran.
"There is such a beautiful girl in this world, I didn't pay attention to it just now, the woman from this capital is really good-looking!" Chen Wei thought of these things in his heart, just glanced at it, and if he continued to look at it, maybe all the harazi would flow out.
"Whatever this girl says, you can do it, she can take the place of the official, understand?"
Although Li Xiaoran asked Zhang San, but Zhang San didn't have any reaction, Zhang San only glanced at Li Xiaoran, and didn't dare to look at it again, besides, he didn't know him at all, how could you let me say it, and I said it? Therefore, Xuanyuan Qinghe had no choice but to save the scene and say so.
"Li Si's parents have been gone for a long time, and I have been neighbors with him for more than ten years, he is not bad, but he has some special habits.
When I came out to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, I saw him in his vegetable garden, plowing the ground, I thought he was awake at that time, and I greeted him, but I found that he did not respond to me at all.
I thought he hadn't heard, so I ran over and asked him again, and found that he didn't open his eyes. I've had these things happen many times.
Besides, I have never heard of a cow in his family, if there is a cow, at most it is a loan to him to farm for the official family when he was farming, but now he has been framing me, how can you say I am not angry! ”
Zhang San talked endlessly, without even drinking a sip of water, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, just like the storyteller, wonderful and conjecturing.
I wanted to briefly understand the situation, but I didn't expect Zhang San to say so much at once, Li Xiaoran thought that he could probably guess that the things he did on the Internet should be sleepwalking, but there was no cow, but he told his neighbor's cow that it was his own, this is a fantasy, right?
Xuanyuan Qinghe listened very seriously, but he didn't think about the problem, he just listened, and chatted with Chen Wei next to him, talking and laughing, completely putting himself aside and treating him as a melon-eating crowd.
Chen Wei didn't expect that the prefect was such a person, and he would have fun in the future!
"That's how it should be, listen, I'll tell you!" Li Xiaoran probably guessed, after all, he wrote novels in his previous life and had some understanding of various fields.
"Zhang San's cow is his own, and he didn't steal Li Si's, and Li Si doesn't have a cow at all!" Li Xiaoran said bluntly.
"How can I not have a cow, I see him every day, and you officials must also protect them? Officials protect each other! This sentence stimulated Li Si, and he said angrily.
"Listen to me continue, Li Siye's behavior is called sleepwalking in the eyes of the doctor, it is a mental behavior, controlled by the brain, you have cultivated the land for the government before, and you have used the cattle for a long time, so you should have a relationship with it.
And now that the government doesn't want you to farm, you have lost a kind of spiritual support, and it happens that you go home and see that your neighbor also has a cow, plus your self-psychological suggestion, you will think that the cow is yours and stolen by the neighbor.
Actually, no, this is a fantasy, if you need to, you should go to the doctor quickly! ”
Li Xiaoran didn't know if what he said was right or not, anyway, according to his own understanding, he could only know so much, so he simply said it directly.
Xuanyuan Qinghe was stunned after hearing this, and thought in his heart: This mother-in-law even knows medical skills, won't this case be solved by her!
The people around him also felt incredible, although what Li Xiaoran said seemed unbelievable, but it was not unreasonable, if it was not explained like this, then it was estimated that there would be no other way.
"I'll just say I didn't steal your cow, you still don't believe it, if you really want the cow, I can lend it to you, after all, we have been neighbors for so many years!" Zhang San was finally able to prove his innocence, and said to Li Si with a smile.
"Don't I have a cow? If you can borrow me, that's great, I'm sorry, I wronged you! ”
Only then did Li Si recover and realize that he had the habit of sleepwalking, and he was still making stupid mistakes here, and he repented.
"Thank you, sir, even more for this girl, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't know what to do, thank you again!"
The two said together, their attitude was extremely sincere and extremely modest, and this attitude of admitting their mistakes, Li Xiaoran felt that it was very acceptable to people to accept this kind of apology.
"It's time to come, why don't I arrange for you to rest first? I'll go to Cui Qi first and ask him to arrange it for you, by the way, he has experienced the division. ”
The case was also solved, Chen Wei saw that it was getting late, and the moon was already hanging on the branches, revealing the white moonlight, and said humbly.
