Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Officials from the County (2/2)
Yan Ling looked at the county lieutenant at the top.
He was wearing the vermilion clothes worn by ordinary patrols, and he had a Great Qin horizontal knife straddling his waist.
The five fingers of his right hand were on the hilt of the horizontal knife, but they moved slowly.
A chill rose inside the house.
He has always been a restrained person, and even for the criminals who commit crimes, he will not speak ill of them.
He is only a human being, and he knows this very well, and it is up to the law itself to punish them, not 'himself', not by his own emotions and anger.
The people who enforce the law must always remember that they are still just individuals, just the same as the people of Daqin who are on trial, otherwise it is extremely easy to be confused and go into the evil way.
He's been so awake to himself.
But at this time, he looked at the pot-bellied county lieutenant in front of him, and the restraint he had been restricting his state of mind had a little bit of crumble.
He held the handle of the knife, almost wanting to walk the world with his master when he was young, he pulled out the horizontal knife at his waist, cut his head and covered his face to stab the fat pig, and beat the fat pig to the ground and hold his head to admit his mistake, so that he could no longer run rampant, so that he could express the depression in his heart.
Seeing that Yan Ling had never spoken, the county lieutenant frowned slightly, poured himself another cup of tea with a posture, blew the hot air from the teapot, and said slowly:
"If it's okay, please go back."
"This official, he is busy with official business, and he really doesn't have the energy to accompany the two ......"
After speaking, he raised his hand to drink tea, and his demeanor and movements seemed to have two points of official majesty.
Yan Ling finally couldn't help laughing, his eyes were like a horizontal knife out of the sheath, with a compelling chill, and said:
"Busy with official business"
"What a busy official business!"
The county lieutenant frowned slightly, sensing something wrong in his heart, and before he could speak, he heard a dull sound breaking through the air, and he wanted to retreat violently, but he was not in a hurry.
There was a bang.
The table in front of the county lieutenant shook violently, and there were many files on it, all of which were scattered and flew up like falling butterflies, and among these flying white and black letters, a token had been inserted upside down into the mahogany on the table, with the red copper as the base, and there was a prison breaker tiger beast bite.
On the token, the word 'punishment' is solemn.
The county lieutenant's eyes widened instantly, and he directly sprayed the tea in his mouth, coughing constantly, his expression was extremely embarrassed, but he didn't dare to have the slightest slackness, he almost crawled to the bottom of the hall, brushed and made a big salute to Yan Ling and Wang Anfeng, his face was pale, and said:
"Subordinate, subordinate Qi Xing'an, the lieutenant of Fengyue County, has seen two adults."
"I don't know, I don't know that the two adults are here, they are far away, and they hope to forgive their sins, forgive their sins, and ...... forgive."
He was extremely frightened in his heart at this time, and when he spoke, his lips trembled, but he really looked like a big fat pig with a refined head, and his brows were tightly locked, and he looked at him coldly, and said:
"This official is here, and on the orders of the Criminal Department to congratulate the chief arrest, to review the murder case half a month ago."
He walked slowly past the county lieutenant, whose body trembled slightly.
Holding the handle of the horizontal knife in his right hand, the knife seemed to be faintly pulled out an inch, revealing the blade of the sword.
The chill in the room grew even more chilly.
The county magistrate was submissive, couldn't say anything, and Yan Ling didn't pay attention to him, walked slowly to the side of the table, raised his hand and stuck the knife upside down on the table, pulled it up, retracted it from his waist, tied it with a belt, and swept a pair of knife-edge eyes over the scattered files on the table.
Seeing that most of the above cases have been dealt with, although they can't be said to be outstanding, they can be regarded as a decent sentence, and there are no major mistakes, the expression on his face eased slightly, turned around, looked at the county lieutenant, and spoke again, saying:
"Get the file of the case, and in addition, transfer the arresters in charge of the matter."
"The official will question them one by one."
The county lieutenant naturally promised to come down.
Yan Lingfu spoke again and said:
"Also, take the relics of the deceased."
"I suspect there are some clues."
When the county lieutenant heard this, his face became more and more pale, he raised his eyes to look at Yan Ling, and said with a sneer:
"Return, return to Shangguan, this case has been closed, and the things have been put into the city treasury."
"This ......"
Yan Ling raised his eyes and said lightly:
"Can't take it out, can it?"
The county lieutenant's heart almost stopped, and at this moment, he could hardly tell whether it was a young man in a red robe in front of him, or a hideous beast on the token of the criminal department, the sweat on his forehead flowed faster and faster, and he immediately changed his tone and said with a dry smile:
"Where, where, it's just that it's cumbersome, and it will take some time, I'm afraid the two officials are impatient to wait."
"In this way, I don't know where the two Shangguan are at this time, the official will go to handle this matter now, and after taking out these files and relics, he will send those, no."
"Xia Guan personally took those patrols to send the two adults to the door, and it also saved a lot of waiting."
Yan Ling said lightly:
"You and I are both officials of the Criminal Department, and the handling of the case is naturally in the yamen of the Criminal Department, going to the inn, what kind of system has it become?"
"I can afford to wait."
The county lieutenant raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat, kept smiling, and said:
"Yes, yes."
"It's the lower official who thinks badly, the adult is really a model for my generation, the lower official admires, admires ......"
This sycophantic appearance made Yan Ling's heart feel like swallowing a large piece of fat lard, full of nausea, closed his eyes, and did not want to see the face that insulted the image of the Ministry of Punishment, and said:
"Let's go down."
The county lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at this time, Yan Ling suddenly thought of something, and spoke again, saying:
"Wait."
"What else do you command?"
Yan Ling rubbed his eyebrows and said:
"The relics of the deceased are not in a hurry, you send the file first, and at this time, the food stove in the yamen should not be extinguished, take a set of suitable patrol clothes for the little brother of the official, and then ask the cook to send a drawer of meat buns and five bowls of Yangchun noodles."
The county lieutenant was slightly startled in his heart, almost thinking that he had misheard.
Five bowls
It must be known that most of the people in the yamen are warriors, and the amount of food cooked by the internal stove is enough, so they only say that the Yangchun noodles, ordinary strong men, can't even eat a bowl, so they have to be supported so that they can't walk, five bowls of Yangchun noodles, and a drawer of meat buns, the appetite of these two adults is really not small.
Yan Commander raised his hand to clean up the scattered files, and said casually:
"Anfeng, you eat first, if it's not enough, let's talk about it."
"Heh, I'll be sleepy as soon as I'm full, and I'll only drink some tea when I have to investigate the case again......"
His voice paused slightly, and Yan Ling raised his eyes to see the county lieutenant who was stagnant, and saw that the latter's expression seemed to be slightly stiff, and he frowned slightly, and said:
"Why don't you hurry up"
"Oops, it's ......"
……………………………………
The county magistrate ran out as if he were running for his life.
It wasn't until he ran out of ten zhang away that he stood still in the courtyard, exhaled a long breath, felt that his heart was now a little weak, and turned around to look at the side room with a little awe, this room was specially selected by him, facing the sun, and it was the most comfortable in winter, but at this time, it gave him a gloomy and depressing feeling.
Just like the handsome young man who was quite handsome.
Depressed, majestic, looking at himself without the slightest emotion in his eyes.
At that time, he could barely tell whether it was a human or a Prison Breaking Beast on top of the Punishment Token.
This made him tremble and full of uncomfortable emotions, only when he stepped into the yamen of the criminal department for the first time and went to the local prison for felons for the first time, he can still remember the cold and oppressive atmosphere at that time, and every time he thinks about it, he will be shocked by the white sweat of his body.
But what I saw at that time was a whole prison, and what I see today is just a young man.
Thinking of what the young man had just ordered, the county lieutenant didn't dare to stay here, and ran out like wind under his feet, and although his face was tense, he could see the panic.
Hopefully, those people haven't spent what the woman's corpse has gotten out yet.
Otherwise, it's miserable.
Thinking of the consequences that this incident would cause, the county lieutenant's fat face almost faded to the last of its blood.
In that room.
Yan Ling leaned over and picked up the scattered files one by one, just now when he made a deterrent, he was majestic, and he was a master, but at this time, this bitter fruit had to be eaten by himself to deal with, his kung fu was far from being cultivated to the point where he could restore these scattered files to their original level with a wave of his hand.
Wang Anfeng was helping to clean up next to him, and suddenly smiled:
"Brother Yan, you are so majestic......"
Yan Ling smiled, put the file in his hand together, and said:
"You're going to make fun of me too"
His voice paused slightly, and he said again:
"It's also a helpless move."
"When the master took me to travel around the world, he once said that rats have rat paths, snakes have snake paths, and people need to be flexible, and if they are blindly rigid, it will only make the case deadlocked."
"If I punish him severely, there will be no disrespect on his face, but there will inevitably be resentment in his heart.
"Besides, we don't have time to deal with his problems at this time, but if he didn't bring the relics on file before I read the file, don't blame me for not being polite."
The voice paused slightly, and Yan Ling's brows furrowed slightly, showing three points of majesty.
Wang Anfeng smiled when he heard this, and understood that when Yan Ling also saw the unnaturalness on the face of the county lieutenant when he mentioned the relics, he put his heart at ease, thinking about it, Yan Ling was able to be promoted again and again in just three years, and he must have seen what he could see more clearly.
Fu thought about the change in the aura on Fang Cai's body, and faintly had a vision that triggered the heaven and earth near the criminal department, and sighed in his heart.
Those who have no distractions can move forward straight.
It seems that it won't be long before a new six-rank patrol will appear in the Fufeng Criminal Department.
