Chapter 17 Characteristics of the Times

At seven o'clock the next day, Zhou Xinyi slept until he woke up naturally, and as soon as he came out of the room after washing, he smelled the proprietress preparing a table of fragrant breakfast.

"Today's breakfast is snail soup and cheese cakes, Lord Judge, I see that your injuries are almost healed, do you need me to wash the runes with secret wax for you?"

Wait a minute...... This sentence is a bit informative......

Zhou Xinyi's gaze couldn't help but glance at the table, "Snails? Snail soup? ”

He looked at the porcelain bowl on the table, which contained a pale yellow soup with a rich aroma, something called a snail that looked like a snail.

Startled him, he thought it was some kind of dark cuisine.

Do snails survive in this era...... No, if you look closely, it seems to be a little different from modern snails.

The cheese cookie is a kind of dough cake that bursts when you bite into it, which is sweet but not greasy, and tastes very hot.

Sure enough, cheese is power.

"Thank you, I think I can erase the runes, where is the secret wax?"

The proprietress had already prepared and sent a piece of secret wax to Zhou Xinyi.

It was a piece of wax with a smooth texture, and unlike modern wax, it was silkier, denser, and scented, like a bar of soap.

It wasn't until Zhou Xinyi used the secret wax with water that he knew that he had been deceived by his name.

This TM is soap!

Zhou Xinyi returned to the hall after washing the runes, and Brandy was leisurely haunting with a cup of black tea, "Good morning, Mr. Zhou, how did you sleep last night?" ”

Zhou Xinyi politely went back, "As you expected, it's very good." ”

Brandy asked the proprietress again, "When will the three camps and the government work?" ”

The proprietress knew that he was the judge's partner, so naturally she would not slack off, even if he was not, for the sake of this face, the proprietress did not mind saying a few more words: "At nine o'clock in the morning, until six o'clock in the afternoon, they will not rest." ”

"If you two want to go, it's recommended to ...... early Especially on the government's side, some unemployed vagrants who have caused friction often go to the government to 'seek justice', but in fact, they only express their dissatisfaction with the government in the name of seeking justice. ”

It doesn't matter, after all, the judge's job is to "keep records", and he doesn't mind seeing how those people make trouble. Zhou Xinyi drank the tea that had been dried on the table early in the morning.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Zhou Xinyi never expected that he would come over with Brandy.

"Why should I be alone with you......"

"Because Miss Jiang Yi is an excellent inheritor, she can't always waste time on such trivial things," Brandy said with a smile, "I believe Mr. Zhou also understands." ”

"In that case, I can handle such a private matter as the judge's seal."

Brandy didn't sell either, "because I have something I want to ask Mr. Zhou." ”

As soon as you arrive at the government hall, the situation here is as overcrowded as the proprietress said, and the drunk, street fighting, and private interests of the counselors have almost occupied the area, which is obviously an old problem, because the coachmen around are very good at avoiding it.

Zhou Xinyi glanced at the situation here, and then said, "You want to ask the judge a question?" ”

Bai Lan nodded.

"And something about the ancestors who passed it on to me?"

Brandy said, "Your intuition is accurate. ”

I've also noticed that whenever you ask for me, your address changes from "you" to "you......

Zhou Xinyi's face did not change and said, "These questions, instead of asking me, it is better to investigate them yourself." ”

Of course, the old man won't let you investigate, Zhou Xinyi continued, "I'm just a rookie inheritor, if it weren't for Jiang Yi by my side, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get to the bottom of the lake safely, of course, the knowledge reserve is not as good as you." ”

"Then I'll put it another way," said Brandy, "do you know what the appearance of your profession means to all heirs?" ”

Zhou Xinyi also stopped and looked at him meaningfully.

"Found it! There are government people there! ”

Suddenly, the finger of the masses was suddenly pointed at Brandy, because he was turned away by the government, and the angry people also came over.

Brandy spread his hands a little dazedly, as if asking: how do you see it?

His profession is different from Zhou Xinyi, he is a forgery, and he does not have the function of being recognized at a glance within the light curtain.

Zhou Xin Yi said, "Do you want to see what you're wearing?" ”

A white shirt, suit pants, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses make him look like a government civil servant.

It's the equivalent of walking into a swimming pool in a swimsuit and asking why someone is selling him a swimming ring.

However, after learning that this kid would also be "stupid", Zhou Xinyi suddenly felt that he was much kinder.

The troublesome residents were still immersed in the joy of "finally catching someone", "Why is the gate not open to us?" Are you prepared not to listen to the people? ”

"Open the door and let us in, or you won't want to stand and leave!"

Zhou Xinyi quietly asked, "Why did this kind of thing come to the government, don't they have a job like a policeman?" ”

"Yes, yes, but it's a private profession called a mentor," Brandy replied in a low voice, "and these people are clearly not here to solve problems." ”

Zhou Xinyi's gaze glanced at some of the residents, some of whom had their cuffs and pockets stretched open as if they were containing foreign objects, and others who had reflective objects in their hands...... Is it a knife?

It seems that this is not just public outrage, but has evolved into an attack.

The remaining few people are simply venting their emotions and being used as guns.

Zhou Xinyi observed for a moment and said loudly, "If you are really dissatisfied, you should report it through formal channels, instead of blocking the gate, let alone surrounding an ordinary person." ”

The deliberate people were originally going to refute a few words, but they were suddenly shocked by the aura on Zhou Xinyi's body and couldn't speak.

"You, you ......"

Even if these people are not familiar with the identity of the judge, they will understand that they cannot be allowed to make mistakes when the person in front of them is present.

But they were also unwilling, and the plan that had been planned for a few days was terminated like this?

The two sides were at a stalemate for a moment, until a carriage stopped in front of them.

These horses have slightly shorter manes, but they are taller, and the carriages they carry on their backs are richly decorated, and at first glance they belong to large families.

Sure enough, the coachman glared at them with a proud face, "What are you doing here?" Actually blocked Mr. Myler's carriage! ”

Mr. Myler? The officer in charge of the armed forces? Zhou Xinyi remembered him, and he was also one of the three officials who were qualified to compete for the succession of the city lord.

Sure enough, hearing Myler's name, fear instantly appeared on the faces of these people, who were originally hesitant.

Brandy smiled, "Officer Myler was passing by on purpose. ”

Seeing that Zhou Xin was puzzled, he explained, "I have never seen the carriage of a big official pass through this road, unless it is an official business, and I have to go to the government on a special trip." ”

Inside the carriage, Myler pulled back the curtains, revealing an angular face.

"I'm sorry my coachman was a little agitated, I just hope you will make way for the carriage to pass." Myler said in a tone that was neither arrogant nor majestic.

"Moreover, I also advise you to stay at home these days, after all, Young Master Ji Xun's birthday banquet is coming soon."

There is a woolen relationship between the birthday banquet and staying at home, and Zhou Xinyi couldn't help but complain in his heart.

This is simply an undisguised misfortune.

He believed that in a few days, the news that the Myler officials "used their prestige to persuade the attackers to leave" would spread throughout Jizhou City, and the idea that "Young Master Ji Xun was born was really unlucky" would quickly spread among the underground forces.

He, a veteran worker, must say: Your heart is really dirty when you play politics.

But the civilians obviously didn't think about this level, and the tough guy eyes of the Myler officials were enough to make them lose the courage to cause trouble, and while they were glad that they had not yet shown their weapons, they did not forget to speak harshly about Brandy:

"You're saved, you're lucky."

Zhou Xinyi glanced at the brandy that he almost took out his weapon, and felt that this sentence should be said to you.

The Mailer officer's gaze also shifted to him, "You're a judge?" ”

Zhou Xin Yi said, "That's right, it's a pleasure to meet you, Officer Mailer. ”

The official also opened the carriage door with dignity and shook hands with Zhou Xinyi.

"I didn't know that there was a judge in Jizhou City."

Zhou Xinyi, who knows how to communicate with various types of leaders, just smiled, "Because I entered the city by borrowing officials' documents." ”

"I see," said Myler, "can I tell me why I did it?" The judge's seal can bring you a lot of convenience. ”

"My seal was lost due to an accident," Zhou Xinyi deliberately revealed the location of the wound, even though it was basically healed, "I will come to the government hall for this." ”

Myler looked understanding, "The government of Jizhou City rarely responds to such a situation, and the process of identity confirmation and verification is ...... It can take three to five days for the judge's seal to be approved. ”

Myler said, pulling out a cufflink-like item, "This is my logo, take this and give it to the government staff, they will do your request as quickly as possible." ”

Zhou Xinyi couldn't wait three to five days, so he naturally took the sign.

"Thank you very much."

This can be regarded as being sold a favor by the Myler officials.

Myler nodded in satisfaction, "Then I'll leave first, looking forward to meeting you next time." ”

Seeing the official Mailer leave, Zhou Xinyi, who was holding the "sign", immediately thought of an important question.

"Brandy, whatever answer you want to find in me, I have a request to tell you first."

"Please."

"From now on, don't fool Jiang Yi."

He felt that this warning was not deterrent enough, so he added, "If you deceive her and calculate her again, I will teach her to plug her ears and hunt you down without sleep." ”

Brandy was amused by these words, and said sincerely, "Of course, achieving mutual trust is the basic of companionship. ”

Zhou Xinyi: "......"

Who is your companion?
