Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Illusion of Life
Qiangshan Town.
As a well-known owner of Qiangshan Town, Li Qiang still often gathers with the mayor and some wealthy people in the town.
At this time, he and Li Fuyin, as well as two of Li Fuyin's colleagues, were drinking and chatting at the largest hotel in town.
Li Fuyin is the only fast catcher in the three towns, and they eat official food, and their status is still very high, anyway, except for the mayor of the town, they are the three biggest.
The rich men of the town also invited them to dinner.
In the town, only the mayor and the three of them are people in the mechanism of the imperial court, and although the rest are still some thugs, they are not regular, and their treatment is far worse than theirs.
belongs to the mechanism of the imperial court, backed by the behemoth of the imperial court, others are naturally afraid of you, and they will have a lot of worries when doing things.
In the same way, with the people in this mechanism, things will be done much more smoothly, so Li Fuyin and the three of them have collected black money and become rich people in the shadows.
"Brother Wang is going to the county on a cloudy day?" Li Qiang looked at Wang Qingsong, this person looked about the same age as him, and he was the longest of the three catchers in the town.
"Yes, is Brother Li going too?" Wang Qingsong said with a smile, and at the same time raised the wine glass in his hand, touched it with Li Qiang, and it!
"I don't want to go, I'm old, I don't want to run around!" Li Qiang laughed at himself.
"Brother Li is in the prime of life, how can he say that he is old?" Wang Qingsong said with a smile.
"Don't mention it, don't mention it!" Li Qiang shook his head. Then he took out a letter from his arms and put it in front of Wang Qingsong.
"Brother Li went to the county seat, can you help me give this letter to the student of the First Academy-Li Chengliang?"
He was always a little uneasy about Zhao Qingshan's affairs, but he always thought that he was thinking too much.
However, he was originally cautious, so he still wrote a letter, he felt that no matter whether he thought about it or not, it was still necessary to let those villagers in the First Academy pay attention to Zhao Yan.
There's nothing to lose anyway.
"Of course there is no problem!" Wang Qingsong smiled and put the letter away.
"Then thank you, Brother Wang!"
"A little thing! Brother Li doesn't have to be so polite! ”
......
As the head of a county and a seven-rank official, the county order does not seem to be big, but in fact it has a lot of power.
The big and small affairs of a county are basically under his control.
Therefore, the mayor of each town, large and small matters that do not have the right to decide, will be reported to the county order, so that the county order can make up his mind.
In addition, there are some cases, as long as it is a fatal case, no matter how big or small, there must be a detailed file, submitted to the county order, so that the county order can personally review it, and there are no problems before the case can be closed.
The dossier will remain in the county hall in perpetuity.
If a problem is found, the case must be heard in person.
In addition, if it is a relatively large case, such as a murder case, a robbery case, etc., the file must be submitted to the prefect.
In the event of an unjust or wrongful conviction, the county order will be punished by the imperial court according to the severity of the circumstances, with a fine or a death penalty!
Zhao Qingshan's case, according to the way the mayor handled it, is indeed not a big deal.
In the law of the Xia Kingdom, it is indeed stipulated that stealing people and things and being beaten to death is legitimate defense, and robbery and counter-killing are also legitimate defense, so according to what is written in the file, Zhao Qingshan was beaten to death, it was the legitimate defense of others, and he was innocent of death.
This kind of thing is a trivial matter, just because according to the supreme law of Great Xia, the case of a dead person, no matter how big or small, must have a complete file, and it must be reviewed by the county order himself, otherwise it is not eligible to be reported to the county order, and the mayor himself will solve it.
When it comes to the county order, it is already clear what type of case it is, so there is no need to report it further, and the case is generally closed after the county order is reviewed.
So a month ago, the mayor of Qiangshan Town submitted the file to the county order, but unfortunately the current county order has no time to read it, and the main book is to read it, and then let the county order be signed.
Wu Changling has been in the post of county magistrate of Yunding County for more than 50 years, and at the beginning he also came with the attitude of benefiting the people.
Pity...... People change.
I don't know when he started, he didn't take care of anything, the big and small cases were handed over to the head catcher to manage, and the big and small things were handed over to the master bookkeeper to do it for him, and he was only responsible for signing and sealing.
Most of the time, he was busy dealing with the hospitality of wealthy merchants everywhere, after all, they gave much more than the imperial court!
Zhao Qingshan's file, he didn't even look at it, he didn't even glance at it, he directly signed and sealed it, and then stored it in the archives forever.
If no one overturns the case, the file will never be seen again until it slowly disappears over time.
......
Today's lunch time is no different from usual, the difference is that Yang Tianrui does not always eat in a private room, and occasionally tries to eat in a corner on the first floor.
"What the hell are you in now?" Yang Tianrui has always been curious, but Zhao Yan always said that it was only four times the peak, and he always felt that Zhao Yan was not telling the truth.
Because he is now a fourth-order, and Zhao Yan is only a second-order, his strength is four times that of Zhao Yan!
But many times, he felt that he didn't know Zhao Yan at all, and always gave him an unfathomable feeling, saying that he was the first freshman, but he felt that he was not sure to win against Zhao Yan, so he always suspected that Zhao Yan was not telling the truth, and Zhao Yan might have been five times as old!
Right!
He was already making a bold guess.
If Zhao Yan had a five-fold realm, then with Zhao Yan's second-order body, he could definitely beat him, a first-in-order freshman with a fourth-order body and a triple-fold explosion.
"If you're at the top of the quadruple, if you're lucky, you might get into the five." Zhao Yan said casually, he felt that Yang Tianrui was about to break through, and he should also rise one liter, otherwise Yang Tianrui, who was four times as many, would not be able to see through four times his self, and it would be difficult to explain.
"Then it's up to us to break through first!"
Yang Tianrui was just a little skeptical, and now that Zhao Yan said that he could break through at any time, he also felt that it was very reasonable, so he didn't think much about it.
"Maybe it's together." Zhao Yan said with a smile.
"Li Yuting is here!"
"Wow! It's beautiful! ”
"Wow!"
At this moment, there was an exclamation, attracting the attention of Zhao Yan and Yang Tianrui.
I saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, all the ones came: the delicate face was like perfect porcelain, without the slightest flaw, wearing a white dress, like a fairy, with an elegant and dusty temperament, as if she was not a mortal figure, and was incompatible with the surrounding environment.
"Wow!"
Even Zhao Yan couldn't help but praise in his heart, although Qiu Xinlan is also very beautiful, but after all, she is still very young, unlike Li Yuting, who is almost about to grow and is in the prime of her budding years, so it looks more beautiful.
Although Zhao Yan is still young, there is nothing wrong with aesthetics, and he naturally appreciates beautiful girls.
"If I can marry such a girl as a wife, then what else can I ask for?" Zhao Yan fantasized in his heart, but quickly recovered.
"I'm only eight years old, and that's not what I should be thinking about! I am the hope of our family and must work hard! Don't think about it! Zhao Yan severely condemned himself in his heart, he couldn't have such unrealistic thoughts.
However, Zhao Yan found that Li Yuting's eyes had always been on him, which made him a little afraid to look directly at her, a little uncomfortable, but he thought beautifully in his heart:
"Could it be that she knows that I have hidden the realm, so she likes me?"
