Chapter 200: Raise and step low
Jiang Yingyu smiled a little flatteringly: "My lord and this ...... Childe, try the snacks and tea in the official mansion, if you are not satisfied, the lower official immediately let the subordinate change. ”
Xie Jinlan waved his hand and said, "No need, this official came here this time to discuss with the county commander." ”
Jiang Yingyu hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, if Lord Xie has something, just give an order." But wherever the adults are useful to the lower officials, the lower officials will be determined to die for the adults. ”
Xie Jinlan picked up the teacup on the coffee table, lifted the lid slightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and blew the steaming tea lightly, silently.
The apprehension on Jiang Yingyu's face was very obvious, but he didn't dare to say half a word.
Ruan Yezhen, who was still on the side, opened his mouth with a smile: "The county magistrate doesn't need to be nervous, when my family first arrived in Xinlin, he happened to hear that there was a murder here, and he heard that the real murderer had been caught, and he wanted to meet the murderer." ”
Jiang Yingyu was directly stunned, and stammered: "Life...... Homicide case? Xiaguan ...... I've never heard of ......."
Ruan Yezhen was surprised: It is said that Master Chen should have been taken into a prison cell at this hour, but this county order said that he didn't know?
Xie Jinlan paused, gently put down the teacup, and glanced at Jiang Yingyu lightly.
Jiang Yingyu instantly became agitated, and shouted outside the hall: "Someone!" ”
Butler Yan, who had been waiting outside the hall, came in.
Jiang Yingyu said: "You go and call Tao Zhutou to come to the hall to reply!" Remember, be quick! Don't let Master Xie wait for a long time! ”
Steward Yan bowed down, walked outside the hall, and walked quickly, walking like a fly, it was impossible to see that he was beyond the age of knowing the destiny of heaven.
After Steward Yan left, Jiang Yingyu was afraid that Xie Jinlan would question him, as a county magistrate, why he didn't even know whether the yamen was taking prisoners into custody, so he hurriedly introduced snacks and tea.
Xie Jinlan picked up a piece of dim sum engraved with a plum blossom pattern, took a bite, and nodded invisibly.
Jiang Yingyu was overjoyed when he saw this, and introduced it even harder.
Ruan Yezhen on the side saw Xie Jinlan's bad taste, but she was deliberately playing with this Xinlin County Order. But at the moment, she very much agreed with his approach.
In just a few words, she could already see that this county order was a sycophant and a person who praised the high and the low. In the past, I am afraid that there were many abuses of power and oppression of the people.
Not long after, Steward Yan walked into the hall with a middle-aged man wearing a fast hunting suit.
Jiang Yingyu suddenly stopped, frowned at the middle-aged man, and then moved his gaze to Steward Yan, and said, "Steward Yan, what's going on?" What about Tao Catcher? ”
Steward Yan glanced at Xie Jinlan, who was seated, and secretly glanced at Jiang Yingyu, and said, "My lord, Tao Zhutou has something important to go out, and he is not in the county government at this time. ”
Jiang Yingyu suddenly realized that Tao Zhutou was afraid that he had used his tenure to go out to drink flower wine again. I suddenly scolded him in my heart, and said a few words that I didn't succeed enough, and I had more than I could lose. But he had to cover up for him: "I see! ”
After waving his hand to let Steward Yan retreat, his gaze fell directly on the middle-aged man kneeling in the hall, and said sharply: "Lu Zhukuai, this official asks you, can there be a murderer in the yamen today?" ”
Lu Yu quickly straightened his back and arched his hand: "Go back to my lord, there is indeed something wrong!" ”
Jiang Yingyu slapped the coffee table heavily and asked, "Such a big event, why didn't you report it to this official in time?" ”
Lu Zhu replied without being humble or arrogant: "Lord Hui, I was about to tell you before, but you asked the lowly to take you back to the house and talk about it later." ”
Jiang Yingyu was choked by Lu Zhu, and his face suddenly became a little unbearable. At the same time, he remembered that there was indeed such a thing.
At that time, he was full of eyes on the matter of visiting the new prefect, where could he take care of other things?
Glancing at Xie Jinlan and the others who were seated, seeing that they both looked at each other with their eyes and noses, Jiang Yingyu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Looking at the expressionless Lu Zhukuai, he secretly hated in his heart.
On weekdays, this Lu Zhukuai often disagrees with him, and does not take his county order in his eyes at all. Unexpectedly, in front of Master Xie, this person didn't even save him any face!
If it weren't for Steward Yan saying that there is always a person with the ability and no background to clean up the mess and carry the black pot in the county office, he would have let this person roll up and leave.
Jiang Yingyu retracted his thoughts and said in a deep voice: "Lu Zhu, Master Xie wants to see the murderer, why don't you lead the way quickly!" ”
Lu Zhukuai glanced at Xie Jinlan in surprise, then got up in response and walked straight out of the hall.
Seeing his attitude, Jiang Yingyu secretly bit his back molars, and then smiled at Xie Jinlan: "Lord Xie, don't be surprised, this Lu Zhutou is this strange temper." But he does have some real skills. ”
Xie Jinlan nodded noncommittally, and then left the hall with Ruan Yezhen and Lu Zhutou after him.
Jiang Yingyu really couldn't figure out Xie Jinlan's thoughts, so he chased after him quite worriedly.
Along the way, he pointed to the scenery in the county government and boasted to Xie Jinlan, trying to leave a good impression on the other party.
Not wanting to, but it's counterproductive.
Halfway through, Xie Jinlan interrupted him in a cold voice and told him to be quieter.
Jiang Yingyu snorted.
There is still some distance between the hall and the county jail. People like Jiang Yingyu who have a big belly and don't like to move around on weekdays, when they arrived at the entrance of the county prison, they were already tired and panting, and they were sweating profusely.
It's just that Lu Zhutou looks as usual, after all, he walks around all year round, and this distance is nothing to him.
But the relaxed appearance of Xie Jinlan and Ruan Yezhen really surprised Jiang Yingyu.
The two jailers at the entrance saw a few people, and hurriedly saluted Jiang Yingyu: "I have seen my lord." ”
Jiang Yingyu panted and said, "No need to ...... ...... Gifts"
Then he made a gesture of invitation to Xie Jinlan weakly: "Lord Xie, please." Motioned for him to go first.
Seeing Jiang Yingyu's attitude, the two jailers couldn't help but glance at each other, and had a rough guess about Xie Jinlan's identity, and then saluted him respectfully: "I've seen Lord Xie." ”
Xie Jinlan raised his hand and waved casually: "No need to be polite." ”
immediately walked into the county jail with Ruan Yezhen. Jiang Yingyu followed, and Lu Zhu quickly followed.
As soon as she entered the cell, Ruan Yezhen subconsciously frowned. The further she went, the tighter her brow became. I couldn't help but raise my hand to cover my mouth and nose to block out those peculiar smells.
Ever since she saw Lin'an's cells, she thought that all the cells were so clean and orderly.
Now it seems that she took it for granted.
The reason why Lin'an's county prison is like that is because the county order at that time was Xie Jinlan.
And the reason why the county prison here is dirty and smelly, and the wailing is everywhere, is only because Xinlin's county order is a person who only enjoys and does not do practical things!
