Chapter 48: Calluses

offended the new prefect, will there be a way to survive in the future?

The county magistrate sweated for Lin Nian Nian.

"Bold!" Seeing that the atmosphere was deadlocked, the county magistrate couldn't hold back any longer, and slapped the startled wood violently.

"Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin, why are you so confused? A few adults are talking here, do you have a part in speaking? ”

He hated that iron could not become steel, and he desperately opened his eyes wide, glaring at Lin Niannian and asking her not to act rashly.

Lin Niannian's tone was calm, she knew the county lord's kindness.

This old man, except for being usually timid, is still very considerate of her at other times.

"My lord, what the villain said is from the bottom of my heart, please check it out!"

Lin Nian is fearless, anyway, she is just a little dancer who is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes.

Wang Zhihui is such a big official, but before and after his succession, his words and deeds are inconsistent, which makes her disgusted, and at this time, he wants to be a gourd monk to judge the gourd case, which makes her even more angry.

"Lord Wang." When the atmosphere was deadlocked, Yan Chenghuai's voice pulled people back.

"I think Lin Yanzuo's proposal is good, and it is too hasty to close the case like this." Yan Chenghuai said coldly, and the last few words were extremely heavy, "What do you think, adult?" ”

Yan Chenghuai spoke up, of course the prefect had nothing to say, so he had to suppress his anger and said with a smile:

"Since Lord Qincha said so, then it's not good for the lower officials, so I don't have to say anything more. It's just the case..."

He meant something.

"Don't bother adults." Yan Chenghuai said coldly, "This case has always been under my investigation, so it's good for adults to be a magistrate with peace of mind." ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

Lin Niannian saw Wang Zhihui's distorted face, and for a while, he couldn't say what he felt, and he was even a little happy.

"In that case, Lord Wang can't let people kneel all the time, right?"

Yan Chenghuai deliberately reminded.

Lin Niannian remembered that he was still kneeling on the ground, and his legs were already a little numb at the moment.

"Nature, nature!"

Wang Zhihui sneered and personally went down to help Lin Niannian up.

"Lord Ben offended a lot just now, Miss Lin, this official won't compensate you." Wang Zhihui said, his voice was a little yin and yang.

Lin Nian didn't have time to care about this, his body was just out yesterday and he was still a little weak today, and he had just knelt on the ground for a long time, so the whole person couldn't help but be a little vain and powerless.

"The villain doesn't dare..."Lin Niannian was humble in his mouth, but in fact, he had scolded this masked tiger a hundred times in his heart.

I finally stood up with my arm in hand.

Wang Zhihui quickly withdrew his hand, as if Lin Nian was some kind of plague god.

Lin Niannian was about to say a few words, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly saw a little bit of gaze on his hands on the sleeves of his wide robe suddenly changed.

How can a literati have calluses on his hands?

This thought instantly made her whole person uneasy, and she desperately recalled the scene when the two first met, trying to remember Wang Zhihui at that time.

She didn't know if Wang Zhihui had these things in his hands at that time.

Undoubtedly, this discovery widened the doubts that had been temporarily suppressed in her heart.

Wang Zhihui, is it really okay?

Lowering his eyes and retreating, Lin Niannian closed his mouth.

Wang Zhihui didn't know anything, but he just took a few steps back and distanced himself from Lin Niannian.

Because of the need to discuss official business, Lin Nian Nian could not stay in the lobby.

Slowly withdrawing from it, the sky was blue and white, and Lin Niannian only felt cold sweat all over his body.

She quickly recalled her contact with Wang Zhihui these days, thinking about what went wrong.

Wang Zhihui has only been in Fengcheng for about ten days, but she has already left a deep impression on her in just a few faces.

Before taking office, Wang Zhihui gave her the impression of panic and even some weakness.

Although there is a trace of literati hypocrisy in his bones, he does not hide his flaws, and in general, he is still bloody.

Can...

Lin Niannian remembered the scene when Wang Zhihui took office yesterday.

A red python robe stood in the middle of the crowd, his face was infinitely beautiful, and he did not flinch at all.

Is this the influence of officialdom on people?

Lin Nian thought in a trance.

Fame and fortune can torture people into a bloodless and numb puppet.

She walked forward, unaware of a familiar shadow behind her, sneaky.

"Lin Nian Nian!"

Just when Lin Niannian walked to the corner, the shadow behind him couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly made a difficulty, and patted her on the shoulder, which was not light, and successfully made her stand up with the hairs all over her body.

Seeing that she was so not frightened, Lao Zhang walked over from behind her with a smile on his face.

"What's wrong? I just came out of the adult, why is my face so pale? ”

He leaned forward, looked at Lin Niannian's blood-stained face, and smashed his mouth with some sympathy.

"I'll pinch my fingers, you must have been scolded by the county magistrate, alas, what's the matter? The little old man of the county order always scolds, he is a knife mouth tofu heart, don't take it to heart, if you are a day late, you will be a day late, and you will make up for it later. ”

Seeing that Lin ignored him every year, Lao Zhang said in a rambling manner.

Lin Niannian's eyes were straight, and he didn't recover for a long time.

"Really scared stupid?" Seeing that Lin Nian didn't say anything, and he didn't even want to get angry, Lao Zhang was also startled.

He leaned forward and shook his hand in front of her.

It was at this time, between the lightning and flint, that Lin Nian saw the calluses on his hands.

"Lao Zhang, why do you have this kind of cocoon on your hands?" She suddenly made a move and grabbed Lao Zhang's wrist.

The latter was suddenly stunned by her and wanted to shrink back, but Lin Niannian held his wrist and didn't let go.

I tried a few times but didn't break free.

"You, you, you... What are you doing! Lao Zhang was so frightened that he thought that the other party had suddenly gone crazy.

Lin Niannian's eyes were burning, staring at Lao Zhang tightly, as if he wanted to see him through.

After a while, Lao Zhang really felt that his wrist was pinched, so he had to grin his teeth:

"Xiaolin, you let go first, I'll tell you slowly!"

Only then did he realize that he was still holding someone's wrist, and Lin Niannian let go, his face a little embarrassed.

She was a little excited.

“… The calluses you are asking about are a long story! When he reacted, Lao Zhang rubbed the painful place, and his tone was a little proud.

"I think back then, Lao Tzu was also a good man every time he did it..."

Lao Zhang learned knives at the age of four, learned for 28 years, and resolutely went to the border to become a soldier.

It was the infantry of the Lin family's army, who went on the field to kill the enemy, and it was extremely powerful.

It is precisely because of this that Lao Zhang has achieved military merits, and after being injured once, Lao Zhang retreated, relying on the kung fu of the autopsy and running errands, and became a nominal servant in the yamen.

and Lin Niannian's adoptive father, the two became good brothers.

The calluses on his hands were formed by him for decades.

"Moreover, this thing is very difficult to subside, unless you are ruthless, use the fire to light this place, bleed dirty blood, and then put some ashes to stop the bleeding, you can get rid of it..."
