Bang Bang Bang ......

The sound of banging was heard.

This is the yamen is going to go to the morning hall, before dawn, the inner yamen knocks on the cloud board seven times, and the outer yamen knocks on the bamboo tube once.

When the gate of the yamen is opened, the scribes, the officials, and the entourage must be at their posts.

The county magistrate of Maying County is surnamed Zhang Mingyan, his face is slightly dark and unsmiling, and he is about fifty years old.

After the morning office began, Zhang Yan ascended to the hall and sat on the main seat.

The county officials, the chief officer, the official, the right hall, the inspector, the young yin, the zai patrol, the post officer, the ambassador of the tax department, the warehouse ambassador, the sluice officer, the river berth officer, and other miscellaneous officials are listed on the left and right.

The prefectural magistrate first listened to the oral and written reports of the staff of each department.

Subsequently, Zhang Xianling said:

"In Yingtou Mountain outside Maying County, there are Ma brothers who occupy the mountain as bandits, but because this group of thieves has never been around cholera, the Governor's Mansion did not send troops to encircle and suppress it. In order to prevent wartime changes, orders were assigned to the subordinate counties to let the mountain bandits return to the imperial court, join the regular army of the dynasty, and jointly fight against the northern barbarians and serve the country. ”

The officials listened to each other.

Mu Tianming also did the same, posing in a posture of contrived.

Zhang Yan continued: "Which colleague goes up the mountain and recruits the brothers of the Ma family, it is the first achievement. ”

No one answered.

Zhang County's order was directly assigned, and the county Cheng, as well as Youtang, and Zai Xun went to go.

Although Mu Tianming lowered his head, he could feel that the gaze of the county order had stayed on him.

When the morning government was disbanded, Zhang Xianling returned to his office room, that is, the signing room, which was the place to sign and approve the documents.

The prefectural order will sign the approval documents in the detention room, including the pleadings of the case to be heard on that day.

Mu Tianming went to the signing room to find Zhang Xianling, and when he saw that there was no one else in the room, he took out a very large silver ingot, this thing was snow-white and brand-new, about the size of the palm of his hand, and it was a silver ingot of fifty taels.

This is a big departure from the dynasty, and the salary of the county order is 30 taels per month, 360 taels per year, and 720 taels of incorruptible silver.

Mu Tianming presented the ingots.

The weight of this big ingot, Zhang Xianling couldn't ignore it, and after taking it, he immediately put on a smiling face.

"Shepherd Bo, I heard that you live in the city, so every morning, it is hard for you to travel ten miles to come." Zhang County ordered, "If you want to buy a house in Maying County, I'll ask the tooth shop to find it for you." Otherwise, you don't have to go to the horse camp in the morning, and I'll give you an errand to stay in the city. If someone from Maying County commits a crime in the city, you can assist the Governor's Office in handling the case. ”

Mu Tianming said: "My subordinates understand. ”

Zhang Xianling turned out a complaint and handed it over, and said: "I received a complaint the day before yesterday, it was the Ximen family in the border city who sued the Li family in the east of the city. I see that your entry information shows that you have lived in Dianliu Alley in the city, do you recognize this Li family? ”

Mu Tianming saw that it was the Ximen family who accused Li Qiaoer of stealing.

On that day, Simon's family married a concubine in the fourth room, and he disguised himself as a porter, went into the treasury, and put all the dowry in it into his personal space.

Unexpectedly, this Ximen family actually put the pot on Li Qiaoer's head.

"What ability does this Li Qiao'er have to steal the dowry of the entire treasury of the Ximen family?" Mu Tianming asked.

Zhang Xianling nodded: "I'm also weird, a female streamer, how can I have this ability?" The stolen property of Simon's family was as high as 5,000 taels, and more than 20 porters picked it up from early morning to late at night. How could a Li Qiaoer steal everything? Simon's family has so many servants watching. ”

Mu Tianming said: "I know this Li Qiao'er, and I once heard her say that Ximen Yuanshang wanted to marry her as a concubine in the fifth room, but she didn't agree. Could it be that the Simon family has a grudge and deliberately planted slander, and maybe even the theft is fake. ”

Zhang Xianling stroked his long beard, lit a long pipe, took a puff of cigarette leaves, and muttered: "There is this possibility." Since it is your neighbor, then in this case, I will give justice to the Li family. ”

"You bother." Mu Tianming took out another box of cigarettes and handed it over.

The last time I went back to the real world to purchase, I bought 1,000 of each of the top cigarettes such as Yellow Crane Tower 1916, Huazi, Hetianxia, and Dazhongjiu. But I bought it not domestically, but from Southeast Asia. In China, you can't buy so many cigarettes at one time.

Zhang Xianling naturally didn't understand, what this little cardboard box was.

Mu Tianming opened the cigarette case, smoked one, lit it, and said, "The cigarettes brought back by relatives from Nanyang are said to be better than these hand-rolled tobacco leaves. Try it, adult. ”

The hand-rolled tobacco leaves in the tobacco pouch pot smell choking and even stink.

And the filter cigarette of modern technology is a veritable "cigarette" cigarette and smells very good.

Zhang Xianling took a sip, his eyes immediately widened, and he took another sharp breath and slowly spit it out.

Mu Tianming stood aside, watching the county magistrate wearing an ancient official uniform holding a cigarette between his fingers and spitting out the clouds, the picture was weird.

"It's smooth, but it's not strong enough." Zhang Xianling commented, "It's still in Dali's dirt stuff." ”

“……”

Mu Tianming remembered a sentence, the boar can't eat fine chaff.

It was nearly noon.

Mu Tianming said goodbye to Zhang County's order, went to the county prison, and asked where Li Qiao'er was.

Li Qiaoer is locked up in a women's prison, she was arrested the day before yesterday, and she has not yet been interrogated.

Her sloppy hair blocked her pale face, and she was dressed in white but couldn't hide her delicate figure.

"Uncle, why are you here?" Li Qiao'er grabbed the thick wooden pillar at the mouth of the bowl, "I was wronged, I didn't steal anything from Simon's family, I was wronged, uncle, save me, uncle!" ”

Of course, Mu Tianming knew that she was wronged, and no one knew better than him, because the things in the Ximen family's warehouse were taken away by him.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, you definitely don't have the ability to steal so many things. The county will find out and give you justice, have you eaten? Mu Tianming said.

"I didn't eat, I was so hungry that I was weak, and my eyes were full of stars." Li Qiaoer said, "If you have anything to eat, give me a bite." ”

Mu Tianming took out a bag of milk, which was also purchased back in the real world.

Take a small bite and say to her, "Open your mouth." ”

Li Qiao'er opened her small mouth in the cell.

Mu Tianming pinched the bag of milk with his hand and put it all in her mouth.

"Slow down, slow down...... Ahem. Li Qiao'er said.

Mu Tianming slowed down and finished a pack.

Li Qiao'er wiped the white milk stains on the side of her mouth and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Mu Tianming gave her another pack, and then took out a pack of ham, which was the kind of Spanish Iberian ham. Tear open the package and feed it to her through the wooden fence.

Li Qiao'er gobbled it up, looking hungry.

This kind of Iberian ham also tastes good, Li Qiaoer lives a hard life on weekdays, and she can't eat meat, this thick ham is not the most delicious delicacy she has eaten over the years.

This ham 80 grams will be sold for 360 yuan, Mu Tianming has never eaten it before, looking at the way she eats, she wants to find a place to eat and drink.

"Oh, slow down."

Mu Tianming suddenly felt that his finger was bitten by her.

It turned out that she ate too violently and quickly, so that she accidentally ate Mu Tianming's fingers.
