Chapter 16: The Case of the Three Holy Ladies (14)

Xiushui County Commander suddenly remembered something and asked implicitly:

"Brother, with your talent above the foolish brother, why don't you enter the official career and serve the court."

Di Renjie was stunned, he didn't expect Li Zhixian to ask this:

"Hmm...... I have this intention, but although I am from a good background, how can I be an official without being appointed by the government? I had to go and get an errand. ”

"Brother, I think of something when I mention this. Two hundred miles away from here, there is a Zhangwu County, where there is a shortage of a county commander, and no one has been willing to take office, so there is a vacancy. This official was entrusted by the Xuanwu Festival envoy to find a county order for Zhangwu, and happened to meet his brother who was decisive and suspicious, and his skills were extraordinary. I think this Zhangwu County Order belongs to you. ”

When Di Renjie heard this, he had some doubts in his heart. A dignified seven-grade county order is actually unwilling to go, is there any hidden meaning here?

But at the same time, I also opened two doors in my heart, which is exactly what I need. Leaving his hometown by himself is not just to do something big, and he must be justified when he has an official position. Being unofficial and unemployed is equivalent to being unable to move an inch, once you have a black veil on your head, how can you handle a case with ease!

"In the next thanks to the county order of Mengli County to raise love, thanksgiving, in the future, the official will be knighted, and the great kindness will be reported." Di Renjie lifted his shirt and said:

"Huh! Where did the words come from. It just so happens that I have a backup place, which was originally intended to be reserved for Hong Juren, but he is dead, why don't you replace him and go to Zhangwu County in front to be the acting magistrate? ”

The two talked about the world and was very speculative, so they simply called each other brothers, Li Zhixian as the elder brother and Di Renjie as the younger brother.

Shuqi was overjoyed, this is pie in the sky, and there will be a county order for no reason, and if you don't go, you won't go in vain.

"Young master, I must go, so that I can also get a half-official position and see who dares to bully me."

"Brother Li, why is the post of magistrate of Zhangwu County vacant?" Di Renjie asked puzzled.

"This ...... The details of this county are not known, anyway, in recent years, Zhangwu County has changed many magistrates, of which only the previous magistrate died accidentally, and the other ones were transferred after not doing it for long. ”

When Di Renjie thought about it for a long time, he simply took out the mule or the horse, and he also worked alone, and readily agreed.

Before leaving, Li Zhixian paid out of his own pocket and gave Di Renjie a jujube red horse, although he couldn't talk about a good horse, but it was one in a hundred. and gave Shuqi an ordinary walking horse, which can be regarded as a reward for Di Renjie's master and servant for destroying the case!

Out of the county office, the master and servant flew on their horses, out of the county gate of Xiushui County, the two horses stopped in front of the tea shop, Di Renjie intended to stay here for a while, but also a farewell to this county!

At noon, the sun in the sky was more dazzling, and Di Renjie wiped the sweat on his forehead.

"Young master, let's come down and have a cup of tea." Shuqi pointed to the pantry in front of him and said.

Di Renjie glanced at it and nodded, because of the tight time, it may not be so leisurely in the future, and he has to go all out to hurry.

So the two turned over and dismounted, Di Renjie walked into the tea shop, and Shuqi tied the horse to the side.

Di Renjie entered the tea shop and saw a familiar figure.

"My son, congratulations, you have successfully solved the case."

Di Renjie was also surprised when he saw this person, and said next to this person: "Thank you for your help, Miss Qin." ”

Qin Yuanyuan sneered: "Since you know that I helped you, then return to me the things you stole from me." ”

Di Renjie deliberately pretended to be confused: "What? Did I steal anything from you? You don't want to say I stole your heart. ”

Qin Yuanyuan's face was ugly: "Don't pretend, return the jade pendant to me." ”

Di Renjie said quite robberly: "Why? Since I got it with my ability, why should I return it to you. ”

Well, since Qin Yuanyuan met Di Renjie, especially now, he has been in a weak position in the confrontation between the two, and he is still blocked by Di Renjie's crooked reasoning.

Qin Yuanyuan's face turned red, and Di Renjie felt quite cute when he looked at her angry appearance.

It's not that Qin Yuanyuan doesn't want to snatch it back, it's really not Di Renjie's opponent, even Hong Juren was planted under Di Renjie's hands, and Qin Yuanyuan has no confidence that he can succeed.

So he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay then! But you can give me the gourd! You don't have anything to keep it. ”

The gourd, which was expected by Di Renjie, exudes a faint fragrance on the gourd, and only the body fragrance on the woman's body is dyed on it.

"When it comes to gourd, I owe you a personal favor, and I have to pay you back."

Di Renjie looked at the delicate gourd and was a little reluctant, and handed it to Qin Yuanyuan.

Thinking perfectly, Qin Yuanyuan took the gourd, his fingers were strong, and the gourd was immediately shattered. As for the few corpse worms that remained inside, they were squeezed flat.

"Di Renjie, you remember to your aunt and grandmother, and there will be requests for me in the future."

After finishing speaking, he left, Di Renjie looked at her back, waiting for the next opportunity to meet, he had a hunch that it would not be long.

The master and servant left Xiushui County, and went straight to Zhangwu along the official road, with foot strength, the speed of travel naturally accelerated, and they came to Zhangwu County the next day.

Di Renjie set up a pergola and looked at it, and saw Zhangwu County, the county seat is not small, the city wall is smashed with rammed earth, but it is quite high, and there are many officers and soldiers patrolling the city. Di Renjie thought to himself, this is not a war year, why are there soldiers guarding the city?

At this time, an old man with a cart passed by him, and Di Renjie asked curiously: "My husband has worked hard, Xiaosheng has just arrived in Zhangwugui County, and I don't know the customs here, so I asked, why are there soldiers patrolling the city?"

The old man put down the car, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "At first glance, you are a foreigner, here Zhangwu County is different from other counties, there is a great person here, who is the descendant of the founding father, borrowing the merits of his ancestors, sealing Zhangwu as the marquis, making power and blessing in Zhangwu, bullying the good people and the people, what kind of officers and soldiers in the city are his family!"

"This doesn't quite fit the rules of the country! And if there is no war, the dispatch of the family to patrol must be done in moderation with the hand of the adult, is this not approved by the state? ”

"What is approved, what is the hand-ordered, the entire more than 100 miles around Zhangwu is the final word of the Hou Ye, even the county magistrate ......"

The old man stopped talking about this and continued to push the cart away.

"Young master, don't listen to the old man's nonsense, listen to the crickets and don't farm anymore?" Shuqi comforted aside.

Di Renjie's heart trembled, no wonder the Xiushui County Decree said, no one wants to take office in Zhangwu, it turns out that there is a hidden big man here.

So who will this Hou Ye be? Di Renjie drew a question mark in his heart. After listening to what Shuqi said, he said unhappily:

"Shuqi, do you think Young Master Ben is afraid? No, the more difficult it is, the more willing I am to challenge, I don't know how hard I am, I want to see what is so great about this legendary big man. ”
