Chapter 41: Someone from Yuezhou
Today, the county officials received their salaries, and Yi Shuyuan arrived very early, after all, he didn't sleep.
Yi Shuyuan, who came out of the county ya's account room, was obviously in a better mood, and it could be seen that the county government still took good care of him, and received a total salary of four taels or two hundred yuan.
If Yi Shuyuan, who had just come to this world, might not have any concept of this money, and now he would shout in his heart, "A huge amount of money!" ”
There is no upper limit to what luxury goods can be bought, and if you only use it to meet the basic needs, it is not an exaggeration to say that this amount is enough to buy a year's food for ordinary people.
Of course, if you really convert the actual purchasing power, it may be the level of the general salary in the previous life, but it is definitely not bad compared to the level of other people here.
Today is Xiu Mu again, of course, Yi Shuyuan went straight to Tongxin Building, first satisfy the appetite and then speak.
But a hurried official disrupted Yi Shuyuan's plan, and before the person reached the edge of the account room, the sound of shouting had already been heard.
"Mr. Yi, Mr. Yi! The county lord asked you to go to the government office quickly! ”
The official was obviously in a hurry, and he was slightly panting when he ran in front of Yi Shuyuan, Yi Shuyuan's first reaction was that Lin Xiu wanted to read the county chronicles he compiled, and he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
Why is it that the leaders here are also interested in watching the progress of the work during the holidays.
But the officer's next words let Yi Shuyuan know that he had a wrong idea.
"Mr. Yi, someone is here in Yuezhou City, it's a matter of Jia Yuntong's case, Lord County asked you to come over quickly!"
Yi Shuyuan frowned slightly, knew the priority of the matter, said the word "go", and walked directly and quickly in the direction of the official office of the county order, and the official naturally hurried to catch up and lead the way for Yi Shuyuan.
Still on the way, Yi Shuyuan asked about some details, and learned that the governor of Yuezhou sent a lot of people over and was learning the details of the case from Lin Xiu in person, and Yi Shuyuan, as a key figure in the development of the case, naturally could not be absent.
-----------------
After all, the official office of the county order is also within the scope of the county government, and Yi Shuyuan and the officials are in a hurry, so they have arrived in a while.
It was a separate courtyard, and when the two of them arrived at the door, they had already seen at least a dozen officials in unfamiliar costumes, all dressed in dark green suits and wearing knot-style hats, most of them holding public standard swords, but some of them had chains around their waists or special sticks on their backs.
It seemed that he heard the footsteps of the two people, and many people looked out of the door, Yi Shuyuan ignored those people, but walked straight to the direction of the hall where the guests were meeting, and could see that there were several people inside in addition to a few officials from the county government, and the first one was wearing a long-winged hat, which should be an official from Yuezhou.
Yi Shuyuan arrived at the door, and he had already taken the first step to salute Lin Xiu.
"Lord County, Yi is here!"
Seeing Yi Shuyuan coming, Lin Xiu subconsciously got up from his seat.
"Mr. Yi, come in, come on, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Yi, Mr. Yi, this is Lord Li, the general judge of Yuezhou, and these people are all from the public gate of Yuezhou City!"
When Yi Shuyuan entered the door, all eyes were on him, and the official who followed him became a transparent person, standing cautiously to the side at the moment, not even daring to speak.
In contrast, Yi Shuyuan was generous and bowed to several high-ranking officials in Yuezhou.
"Yi Shuyuan, a clerk in Yuanjiang County, has seen a few adults!"
Yuezhou Tongju and a few poor people were looking Yi Shuyuan up and down, and the former asked with a cold snort.
"Hmph, you're the Mr. Yi who can see ghosts?"
Yi Shuyuan frowned and raised his head, this tone was not very polite, he glanced at the case table on the side with his spare eyes, the case file of that day was being spread out on it, and it was obvious that he had already seen a few rounds.
However, Yi Shuyuan was not in a hurry or irritable, and after maintaining the respectful attitude he should have, he turned to Lin Xiu's side again.
"It's down here, Lord Lin, I don't know what you're doing here?"
Yi Shuyuan asked knowingly, but he still had to do it, and it was convenient for Lin Xiu, the county magistrate, to take back the initiative.
But before Lin Xiu could speak, Lord Li from Yuezhou had already spoken first.
"According to the dossier, in this case, you opened the mouth on behalf of the female ghost He Xin? Is there such a thing? ”
Yi Shuyuan complained in his heart about a big official authority, and nodded on his face.
"It is true."
"Then you let that female ghost come up to you and talk about it?"
This is obviously difficult for some strongmen, and Wu Minggao on the side stubbornly opened his mouth to solve the siege.
"Lord Tongju, it is difficult for ghosts to enter the county office, and it is daytime, it must be difficult for ghosts to appear, and ghosts are not summoned immediately......"
Yi Shuyuan also spoke.
"What Lord Wu said is very true, but even if Miss He is not here, Jia Yuntong's confession cannot be faked here, and some things can be found out as long as they are checked."
"Hmph, it is clearly written in the dossier that Jia Yuntong was tortured before he pleaded guilty, so it's hard to guarantee that he wasn't beaten into a trick, right?"
"The general sentence is too arbitrary, this person arrested and injured people, causing our county government to lose a lot of good hands, and it is normal to take it to the yamen to receive some criminal law!"
It was the county lieutenant of Yuanjiang County who spoke, the injury on his shoulder was not yet healed, and he had a cloth rope hanging on one arm, so it was more convincing to say this.
But someone on the side of the sentence sneered in a low voice: "Good hand? ”
This pun on this sentence excited the county lieutenant's heart to become angry, and he looked at the person who spoke fiercely, and just as he was about to speak, the county magistrate of Yuanjiang County, who Yi Shuyuan was not familiar with, immediately came out to speak.
"Uh, okay, okay, everyone works for the court, don't hurt the peace!"
The master on the side also hurriedly agreed.
"Yes, yes, we're discussing the case, don't hurt the peace!"
Lin Xiu took a deep breath.
"This case has its own explanation from the Criminal Department, and the general sentence adults don't have to worry too much."
Yuezhou Tongju frowned and glanced at everyone in Yuanjiang County.
"Lin Xiu, you don't know who the general judge of Wuzhou is, then you should always know that the former governor of Wuzhou is the current servant of the ministry, how can you convince the superiors? Just rely on this ghost's dossier? ”
If it was another Beijing official, Lin Xiu might indeed not know, but the Ministry of Officials was responsible for the evaluation of officials in various places, and although Shangshu was the chief official, he only had an overview of the overall situation, and the people who were really responsible for the work and could speak were all squires, so of course Lin Xiu could not be clear.
As for what went wrong? The general judgment did not say it explicitly, but even Yi Shuyuan could think of one or two.
Indeed, for the people of the Yamen of Yuanjiang County, this case is a personal experience, so naturally everyone can not believe it, but for others, especially the officials above, this kind of content statement is somewhat absurd.
Yi Shuyuan saw that the county order was silent, so he spoke.
"If Lord Tongju doesn't believe it, you can ask the errand officer who was present that night, and go to the dungeon to ask Jia Yuntong in person, I believe this person will not retract his confession."
"Hmph, I won't ask if you say it!"
Saying that, Yuezhou Tongju sighed and looked at the county order with a not very good-looking face.
"Lin Xiu, the battle between the government and the opposition is the most dangerous, and I am also afraid that you will be involved by mistake, because this matter has been used as a knife, I have also seen your evaluation over the years, although there is no merit, but there is nothing wrong with it, don't blame me for not reminding you of some things, no matter what the outcome of this case is, it is difficult for you to be alone."
As if he was provoked by this sentence, Lin Xiu's heart was angry, and the spiritual rhyme around his body was faintly moving, which actually made Yi Shuyuan feel that his body was slightly bright, but he didn't say anything too excited.
"The lower officials know in their hearts, everything they do is within their bounds, thank you for your concern!"
Yuezhou shook his head and said no more.
"Let's go, take me to the dungeon!"
-----------------
The group soon came to the dungeon, but the people from Yuezhou City directly took over the defense of the dungeon almost at the same time, and each occupied some key posts in the dungeon.
Lin Xiu followed beside the Yuezhou General Judgment and asked with a frown.
"My lord, why is that?"
Yuezhou Tongju glanced at him.
"With the remaining servants of the Yuanjiang County Ya, how can we talk about defense? The official has been temporarily placed in custody. ”
The officials crushed people to death at the first level, and the officials of Yuanjiang County could only admit it.
In the dungeon, the sixth master of the cell still has the kind of self-respecting style in the prison, like a diligent pawn walking in front to open the way for these big people.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the front is here, and Jia Yuntong is in the innermost!"
The few officials who were following the Yuezhou General Judgment were all attracted by the people who were huddled in another cell, and some couldn't help but scream.
"Gibbon Sun Shiwan?" "Hmm!"
"You're not mistaken?" "There will be no mistake, this guy has several lives on his back, but he didn't expect to be caught and locked up here!"
"He would actually protect Jia Yuntong?" "Hmph, this time the new hatred and old hatred can be counted, and let him taste our methods!"
Several people walked through the discussion, but the masters in the prison did not say a word, and their faces looked very gloomy.
Soon, everyone reached the end of the dungeon, Jia Yuntong was still shrinking in that corner, and He Xin, who heard the movement, had already turned out of the door first, and saw so many people, especially these martial artists who were not lightly angry, and subconsciously retreated slightly.
But when he saw Yi Shuyuan and Lin Xiu in the crowd, He Xin immediately showed joy and saluted the two.
"The folk girl He Xin has seen Lord Lin, has seen Mr. Yi, Mr. Yi, Lord Lin can't hear it, you tell him that I saluted!"
Yi Shuyuan nodded slightly, but he didn't mean to speak, and He Xin didn't dare to urge, so he just watched from the side.
"Jia Yuntong, the adults of Yuezhou and the county lord have come to see you, come out quickly!"
"Don't come to me, don't come to me, don't just be an errand......"
Jia Yuntong responded tremblingly.
"Jia Yuntong, you come out for me!"
"Don't look for me, don't look for me......"
The cell boss shouted several times in response to this sentence, and the people in Yuezhou frowned and said in a low voice.
"If this person is a madman, his testimony is not very good......"
Several people from the Yuanjiang County Ya were also a little nervous in their hearts, not wanting Jia Yuntong to really go crazy, Lin Xiu immediately ordered.
"Open the cell door and pull him out!"
"It's my lord!"
The cell boss immediately opened the iron door, hesitated to scan the inside of the cell, whispered a few words "don't blame", and then pulled Jia Yuntong out of the dry grass where he was hiding with another servant.
"No, don't look for me......"
Jia Yuntong struggled violently, thinking that the ghost had appeared, but when he was forcibly turned to the door, he saw Yi Shuyuan for the first time, and suddenly seemed to see a savior.
I don't know where the strength comes from, or maybe it's the huge advantage of weight, Jia Yuntong actually broke free from the cell head and the servants at once, and went to the door and kowtowed over there.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
"Mr. Yi, please save me, save me, let that ghost stop being entangled, I can't stand it anymore, I've already recruited them all!"
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The state official reached out and held Jia Yuntong's forehead steadily, and then looked at Yi Shuyuan on the side, not only him, but other people were actually looking at Yi Shuyuan.
Lin Xiu's heart moved, and he suddenly asked.
"Mr. Yi, is Miss He Xin here?"
Everyone's hearts jumped, no matter how much they didn't believe it before, combined with Jia Yuntong's madness and the current environment, it still had some impact.
Yi Shuyuan's face was calm, and he didn't hide anything, the aura in his body moved with his thoughts, and he separated a wisp and floated towards the ghost, and then nodded.
"Miss He Xin is behind Jia Yuntong!"
Yi Shuyuan's original intention was to help He Xin condense the ghost body, so that she could make some noise for everyone to feel, but he didn't expect that with his movements, a strange yin wind actually blew in the prison, blowing the corners of everyone's clothes.
Call...... Call......
A confused white figure loomed in everyone's eyes.
"Hiss......"
For a while, everyone only felt a cool breath rushing straight to the Tianling Gai, and even the martial artists had goosebumps......
There really are ghosts!
"Ahh
Jia Yuntong screamed and desperately crawled to the door, but was immediately held down by several people outside, and the cell head and the official also ran out at this moment.
