Compared with the section of the road when I came, the road to the Prime Minister's Mansion was more lively, but the streets were still dominated by officials and cars, and there were not too many people in sackcloth.

The dilapidated carriage drove towards the Prime Minister's Mansion alone, and Liu He and Yu Wuwu were thinking about their own affairs, so the car seemed a little silent.

In the end, it was Yu Wuwu, who was a courtier, who spoke first, breaking the quiet atmosphere.

"Doorman, I have something to say."

Every time, as long as Yu Wuwu says this, it means that he has to tell the truth.

Liu He was a little tired of Yu Wuwu's tirade, but he also knew that once he refused, then Yu Wuwu would say more big truths.

"You say, I'm listening."

"No."

After answering this, Yu Wuwu didn't continue to speak, still sitting upright and driving, as if nothing had happened.

It wasn't until Liu He wanted to remind him that Yu Wuwu slowly spoke.

"I've figured out the question I just asked."

"Figured out what?"

"The subordinates just questioned me, whether it was wrong to help Fa Cao try the case or to use too harsh punishment, I didn't think clearly before, but now that I think clearly, the subordinates have done these two things wrong."

Liu He heard something interesting, he sat up straight, patted Yu Wuwu's shoulder with his hand, and motioned for him to continue.

"First of all, the subordinates should not try the case for Fa Cao and help the county prison extract confessions."

"The criminal law is the main killing, the violent atmosphere is too strong, and the subordinate is Yuye Jinke, so he should not set foot too much in such a dangerous place."

"Heaven has the virtue of a good life, even if Guo Kai deserves his crimes, his subordinates should not use such cruel punishment to persecute him."

"The subordinates have finished speaking."

Yu Wuwu could think of this layer of logic, which made Liu He very pleased, but he still cross-examined: "Then why should Chen Xiuhe hurt them to do such a thing?" ”

Yu Wuwu obviously hesitated, but finally nodded and replied: "That's their job, so naturally they should do it." ”

"So Yu Qing means that you want me to be a gentleman and cook far away?"

"Exactly." Yu's answer was brief, but his upright back visibly shook slightly.

"But you and I are both from this world, since we all live in this world, we naturally have a responsibility for this world, we must remember one sentence......"

"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband!"

The sentence that Liu He "stole" from Gu Yanwu was very powerful, and it obviously spoke to the depths of Yu Wuwu's heart, who was also a Confucian student.

The copyist should not only be able to copy poems, but also be able to copy articles.

"In addition, you think that the waterboarding punishment I said is too terrifying, but I just want Guo Kai to make that bet with me, you look at the current situation, Fa Cao's difficulties are gone, and Guo Kai is not punished, isn't it the best of both worlds?"

"What's more, we have also saved many poor people who were supposed to be shown to the public, which is another merciful thing."

"I have done so many things for Changyi in the past two years, but I just want the people of Changyi to live better, whether it is a person like Guo Kai or a person like Heifu."

After saying these words, Liu He lay back in the carriage, and he whistled proudly while crossing Erlang's legs, and the crisp whistle made the colt pulling the cart cheerful.

"I understand the hard work of the door, the rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, I will keep it in mind."

"The children can be taught." Liu He said with great relief.

"But, Zi said, the gentleman is not heavy or powerful, under the door, your current sitting posture is very indecent."

Yu Wuwu didn't have eyes on the back of his head, but the two had been together for so long, he had already guessed Liu He's pride at this time.

Liu He could only laugh dryly a few times, silently grimacing at Yu Wuwu's straight back, and sat up straight.

Liu He and Yu Wuwu drove a carriage for two miles, and after passing by the county temple in Changyi County, they finally came to the Changyi Prime Minister's Mansion.

The structure of the Prime Minister's Mansion is similar to that of the Lieutenant's Mansion, but it is much larger, and the main entrance is facing Dongmen Street, which runs east-west to Changyi City, which is the most spacious and majestic street.

The pedestrians who come and go are still mainly officials from the Prime Minister's Mansion who handle official business, and although the number is not large, all of them look in a hurry.

Compared with the Changyi Palace, which is decorated, this is the administrative center of the entire Changyi Kingdom.

All decrees are issued by each other.

Liu He could still only walk through the most secluded side door in a low-key manner, and the main bookkeeper Zhang Poji took him around the lobby and walked all the way along the secluded corridor to the main book pavilion behind the hall.

The main cabinet had a high status in the prime minister's house, so the location of the main cabinet was set near the courtyard gate between the office lobby and the living backyard, and the other door cabinets were also around—from which the name of the door servant was derived.

Under the guidance of Zhang Poji, Liu He and Yu walked into the main book pavilion without worry.

The area of the Zhucao Pavilion is not large, most of them are two zhang square, although the main book pavilion is particularly important, but the size is about the same as the rest of the Zhucao, and it is divided into two rooms - the inner room stores the archives, and the outer room is in charge of affairs, so it looks even more narrow.

The main book is in charge of all the books and archives in a county, so as far as the eye can see, the shelves are full of simple scrolls, and they have been "invaded" from the inside to the outside in a grand manner, which may be an exaggeration to describe it as a sea of smoke, but it is not an exaggeration to say that it is full of sweat.

After entering the main book pavilion, Liu He and Yu Wuwu didn't know how to sit down for a while—the only three cases were also piled up around the slips, and there was hardly any space.

There is a musty smell of bamboo in the air, which is not pleasant, but it is not disgusting.

In this musty smell, there is also a smell of alcohol.

Liu He searched carefully, and soon saw a wine cup and a few soybeans cooked in oil under a long scroll of unfolded slips.

Apparently, someone here is drinking while reading a book.

It's a real delight.

Zhang Poji squeezed in sideways from Liu He's side, and after seeing the situation on the ground, his face was embarrassed, and he immediately hurriedly cleaned up the "mess" on the ground.

While taking it back, he deliberately raised his voice and scolded: "These shafts, who clearly told them to clean up, dare not listen, and tomorrow they will be punished for copying "Erya" three times!" ”

Everyone in the county knows that Zhang Poji is loyal to Changyi, not greedy for money and not lustful, so he likes to drink and read.

I'm afraid that these "incriminating evidence" on the ground were not left by his subordinates, but that he himself was drunk last night and forgot to clean up.

No wonder Zhang Poji was late for the virtuous meeting early this morning, and it seems that he has not woken up from a hangover.

Liu He and Yu looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't say anything.

Half a moment later, there was finally enough space on the ground for three people to sit.

Zhang Wujian squeezed out a smile, pulled the small handful of goatee under his cheek, and said, "The door is smiling." ”

Liu He and Yu sat down generously without worry.
