Chapter 41: The Scroll

"Zhong Liyi! How are you? ”

Xu Yilin, who was surrounded by people, also saw the appearance of the person who came at this moment, his face was even more panicked, his father and Huai Ming Gong have always been evil, this Zhong Liyi is by no means good, if he falls into his hands today, it will be difficult.

Ignoring Xu Yilin, a token engraved with the word "Xuancha" was taken off his waist by the young man in official uniform, and after showing it to everyone, he stepped forward and respectfully handed the token to Chen Pu.

Chen Pu took it in his hand and looked at it, and after weighing it, he threw the token back into Zhong Liyi's hand.

"Big brother, when did you return to Xuan'an?"

Zhong Lixuan, who was standing on the side, looked at the young man first and said a brief hello to him.

Pinned the token in his hand back to his waist, hearing this greeting, Zhong Liyi looked at Zhong Liyi, who was wearing a hat on the side, and smiled at her: "I was transferred back to Xuan'an two days ago." ”

After saying this, he once again set his eyes on Situ Xi beside him whispering, and seeing that he was looking himself up and down, Zhong Liyi arched his hand at him and said, "Sister-in-law, you and I only met when we were young, don't you forget me?" ”

Zhong Liyi, Situ Xi heard Zhong Lixuan say this name, he is the sister-in-law of Huai Ming Gong, it is said that he is a talented person, and his official position is not low at a young age, but he has been working on errands in other cities, and now he has been transferred back to Xuan'an.

Without answering Zhong Liyi's joking greeting, Situ Xi set his eyes on the token on his waist and asked directly, "Xuan Chawu?" I've heard it before, and it's said that you're in charge of oversight, impeachment, and inspections other than the clan, but are you usually directly responsible for incidents like today's? ”

It has only been less than half an hour since the porcelain vase was taken away by Chen Zhishu just now, and his brother-in-law rushed to the scene with so many officials, I am afraid that this matter is not so simple.

Hearing this question, Zhong Liyi looked at Situ Xi with a look of appreciation, after returning home this time, he heard from his father that Situ Xi had changed a lot recently, he knew that his ears were false, but when he saw him today, he found that he was different from before.

"Similar matters are generally handed over to the Xuan'an Mansion for trial first, and then handed over to the Xuan'an Procuratorate according to the situation. But Xuan'an has the right to deal with it directly, and we happened to encounter it today, not to mention that the extent of this matter is not something that Xuan'an Mansion can handle. ”

I happened to meet ...... Situ Xi nodded lightly in understanding.

"No! This matter should be handled by Lord Fu Yin, which is not in accordance with the rules. A loud shout sounded from the side, Xu Yilin was still struggling at the moment, "I was framed......"

"Young Master Xu, be quiet for a while."

patted the shoulder of a small official next to him, Zhong Liyi gave him a look, and ordered him to step forward and let Xu Yilin shut his mouth first.

Immediately afterwards, Zhong Liyi walked up to Chen Pu and Chen Zhishu again, bowed to them, and said apologetically:

"I disturbed the two distinguished guests today, it is really not my intention, can you please hand over this porcelain vase to me first, and then we will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

Raising the porcelain vase in his hand and looking at it again, Chen Zhishu was also thinking in his heart, the main purpose of their visit to Chu this time was to promote cooperation between the two parties, but before it was finalized, the specific content of the cooperation still had to be discussed slowly.

Although this matter is not aimed at them today, it will have a somewhat bad impact on the reputation of Chu State, and perhaps use the topic to play a role or two, and can also ask for some additional benefits for Li State in the subsequent negotiations......

Thinking of this, Chen Zhishu did not rush to give the bottle to Zhong Liyi, but looked at Zhong Liyi and said his conditions, and pointed to the shopkeeper Zhang on the side.

"Yes, but before you do that, you'll have to talk to the officials in charge of our side first...... Moreover, the person directly involved in this matter is the shopkeeper, so he should give him an explanation first. ”

"As it should be." Zhong Liyi nodded, and then looked at the old Zhang Tou who was leaning against the wall and was supported by Zhang Yu'er, "As for this shopkeeper......"

Seeing Zhong Liyi looking at him, Lao Zhangtou couldn't speak at all at the moment, he looked around, and had to cast a look of help to Situ Xi.

"If this is the case, draw up two volumes, write down today's facts and events on them, and then let everyone present make a handprint to testify, and then hand over these two documents to the shopkeeper and Miss Chen for safekeeping."

Wrapping his arms and comprehending the meaning of Lao Zhangtou, Situ Xi thought for a while, and then gave a plan in a timely manner.

"My sister-in-law is really cautious."

After pondering for a while, Zhong Liyi gave Situ Xi an appreciative look, and then asked Chen Pu and them for advice, "How do you feel about the two of you?" ”

"Yes." Chen Zhishu nodded, the porcelain vase was actually useless in his hands, but it would be more convenient to leave such a document according to what Situ Xi said.

"Then let's do it."

The matter was finalized in this way, and an explanation was given to an official behind him, Zhong Liyi immediately sent someone to ask the person who was just present about the incident, and wrote two manuscripts according to the situation.

The two documents only record what is really happening today, without any subjective element in them, and certainly do not distort the facts.

Zhong Liyi personally whispered in Xu Yilin's ear again, although he didn't know what they said, but he saw Xu Yilin's face change several times, and finally everyone, including him, pressed their handprints on the scroll.

After having this scroll, Chen Zhishu handed the porcelain vase to Zhong Liyi.

Thanking Chen Zhishu, Zhong Liyi waved his hand to the men behind him again, ordering them to take Xu Yilin out of the store.

A group of attendants and servants all exited the door, and the space in the store suddenly became spacious, and Lao Zhangtou felt that the pressure around him seemed to have faded a little, so he relieved his breath a little.

After the atmosphere eased slightly, Zhong Liyi once again apologized to the two royal families of the Li Kingdom.

"I'm really sorry that this kind of thing happened and ruined the interest of the two of you. If the two of them do not want to participate in this spring food party again, they can be escorted back by the two below. ”

"It's okay, let's go shopping again, we wouldn't have eaten casually on the side of the road, but I'm afraid you'll need to use some more snacks." Chen Pu waved his hand at him.

"What you said is that it will be strictly managed in the future, and today's matter will also be reported to the authorities, and I believe there will be an answer soon. Since the two of you still want to play, then I won't bother for now. Zhong Liyi stepped back and bowed his hand, then straightened up, and smiled at Situ Xi again: "Sister-in-law, come to the house in two days." ”
