Chapter 36: The old man is in distress
When Gongzu Yu led a group of servants back from the scene of the crime. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the hall of the county office, a man in a purple and black official uniform and a vermilion guard hat was sitting in the hall of the county office, chatting with a man whose face and stomach were full of fat.
"Hey, the grandfather is back?"
The man wearing the vermilion guard hat saw Gongzuyu coming, and immediately asked enthusiastically.
"Gong Mou neglected his errand because he had some official things to do, please atone for his sins. ā
Gongzu Yu looked at the person, and he could see from the clothes at a glance that the person was sent down from above, and of course he did not dare to slack off on this kind of person.
"Business matters, business matters, I just have the upper hand and an order, and if I come down to pass the order, how can I say that I am slacking. But my lord, this time the matter of Yuancheng County is not small!"
The herald guard was still smiling when he spoke in front of him, but when he spoke in the back, it was as if he had changed his face.
"It was the dereliction of duty that caused such a great crime. ā
After hearing this, Gongzu Yu immediately knelt on his legs and said in a panic.
"Look at what the old man said, what is a big sin. If such a thing happens, you can't blame it entirely on the official, right? To tell you the truth, this time the commander came down for this matter. Now that this matter has come out and the upper hand is known, it still has to be dealt with more or less. Of course, this is also nominal. ā
The herald turned his head and glanced at Gongzu Yu when he said this.
"As for the matter of the father-in-law, in the eyes of the petty officials, it is really a big crime, but if it is said to be a small one, it is also said in the past, who has not been negligent for a moment in the officialdom? Those who climbed to the upper hand also stumbled over in this way. The order I asked me to give you is to go to Huanzhou to wait for the trial and investigation. Master, you should understand the trial and investigation after many years of official investigation! Whether it is a trial or an investigation is still unknown. Let's be clear, if the old man is lucky, maybe although he left Yuancheng County, he was sent to other counties, and besides, there is any county in Huanzhou that is worse than Huanzhou County?"
The herald couldn't help but laugh himself when he said this.
However, the herald smiled, but Gongzuyu couldn't laugh at all, Gongzuyu has been in the officialdom for so many years, and the meaning of these words is of course clear. But on the other hand, I have been an official for so many years, and I have been an official for a long time, so how can I have the money to bribe people?
Thinking of this, Gong Zuyu didn't know how to speak to this herald for a while.
"What's the matter, is there anything I don't understand?"
Seeing that Gongzu Yu didn't speak, the herald asked with a smile again.
"Nope. ā
Gong Zuyu replied with a serious face.
"Alright then, Gongzu Yu, let's hit the road!"
When the herald saw Gong Zuyu answer like this, he didn't say anything, and even the old man didn't call him anymore, and immediately changed his face and said to Gong Zuyu.
"Oh, by the way, Master Xin, I will trouble you in the future about Yuancheng County, this commander knows almost everything about Yuancheng County today, this broken land is indeed much poorer than I imagined. But don't worry, since Yuancheng County is so special, after I go, I will definitely report the situation of Yuancheng County to the upper hand, let a few more strength catch the head, and let the upper hand allocate more poverty alleviation materials here, to be honest, it is really embarrassing for Master Xin. ā
Before leaving, the herald turned his head to this old man Xin and said.
"Then there is the old commander, the lord is tired on the way back, and there is a swallow leaping horse in the lower official, so I will order someone to bring it, and it is good for the lord to return to the state as soon as possible. ā
The old man Xin said, beckoned, and then a family member he brought walked in. Then Master Xin whispered a few words in his ear, and then saw the family walk out.
"This is not allowed, the standard of this official is to be honest, and the official cannot accept gifts. ā
After hearing this, the herald guard immediately said with a serious face.
"How can the lower officials not know the name of the adult's incorruptibility! Yuancheng is too far away from Huanzhou, isn't the lower official also thinking about the upper hand? Are you afraid that the horse will be too slow on the way and make a mistake?"
When Master Xin saw the herald say this, he also hurriedly replied.
"Hahaha, Master Xin, I will pass on your kindness to the upwind. ā
The herald laughed as he walked out.
After Master Xin walked out, two people dressed as officials immediately came in, walked to Gongzuyu's side, and didn't give Gongzuyu time to watch, so he escorted Gongzuyu out of the county office.
"You're Ji Jingtian?"
After the herald and Gongzu Yu and the others left, the new old man walked with two hands behind his back and took a figure-eight step, glanced at Ji Jingtian, and then asked expressionlessly.
"It's Ji Jingtian again. ā
When Ji Jingtian saw the new county lord asking, he immediately replied respectfully.
"You are famous, so good, follow this official to work hard in the future, and I promise that I will not be able to treat you badly. Unlike that Gongzu Yu, when he saw that the people under him were not having a good life. ā
After hearing this, Master Xin walked up to Ji Jingtian and patted Ji Jingtian on the shoulder to say comfortingly.
This old man Xin only cared about playing prestige and winning people's hearts, taking figure-eight steps, but he didn't pay much attention to Ji Jingtian's shoulder.
After his hand was patted, the pigeon pecked its long beak.
"Oh, my hands!"
Master Xin covered his hands and screamed after being pecked by a pigeon.
"This, this, this, why do you still have a beast with you?"
After Master Xin was finished being cut by the pigeon, he covered his hand, and then looked at Ji Jingtian's shoulder, and asked a little angrily when he saw the white dove on Ji Jingtian's shoulder.
"Master Qiqi, this beast is a little hateful, to be honest, Sedum has also been pecked by this beast several times, but Sedum martial arts is a sword master, and this beast is the sword spirit of Sedum, because there is no weapon other than him, so he brought it on his body, if he accidentally injured Master Xin, please Haihan, and when Sedum finds a worthy weapon, he will definitely lose this beast. ā
After hearing this, Ji Jingtian immediately bowed his head and apologized.
This old man Xin was originally very angry when he was pecked by a pigeon, but when he heard that this beast was Ji Jingtian's sword spirit, he couldn't say anything, even if it was a county lord, he couldn't tell the head catcher below that you lost your weapon!
"Forget it, forget it, it's not your fault. It's just that this brute, alas, really hurts. ā
Although Master Xin said that he forgave Ji Jingtian, he still scolded angrily.
But just after Master Xin finished speaking, I saw the white pigeon flying, flew to Master Xin again, and took a few bites at Master Xin.
Seeing this, Ji Jingtian also hurriedly ran over.
After seeing that this old man Xin was almost finished, he called 'Xiaobai' to the white pigeon.
Then I saw that the white dove flew to Ji Jingtian's shoulder again.
"You brute, you are really ignorant to say that you are not sensible!"
After the white pigeon flew to Ji Jingtian, Ji Jingtian scolded the white pigeon.
After listening to Ji Jingtian's scolding, the white pigeon also lowered his head obediently.
"Alright, alright, you go down first, I'll call you if there's something. ā
Master Xin looked pained, covering the place where he had just been cut by the white pigeon, and looked at the white pigeon with palpitations and instructed Ji Jingtian.
"Yes, sir. ā
After hearing this, Ji Jingtian made a gesture to Master Xin and walked out of the county hall.
When he walked to the door, he spat angrily to the back.
'Damn, you bastard has come to me to do your thing. ā
While walking, he cursed in his heart, thinking about the two times that the pigeon on his shoulder pecked Master Xin, and began to touch the pigeon on his shoulder again.
In this way, after a while, Ji Jingtian walked out of the main hall of the county government.
After coming out, he didn't go anywhere else, but went straight to Zuoqiu Zong's room.
At this moment, Zuoqiu Zong was holding the black sword and muttering in a daze.
Ever since Nanyue was gone, he could always think of Nanyue when he held this sword.
When Nanyue was by her side, Zuoqiu Sect never thought about Nanyue, but when Nanyue left, her heart was always empty, especially when she was holding this black sword.
It's not so much that the current Zuoqiu Sect is holding this black sword all the time, just to think about Nanyue.
"What's the matter, I can't forget that girl from Wan Qian Cliff?"
After Ji Jingtian came to Zuoqiu Zong's room, he patted Zuoqiu Sect's shoulder and asked.
"Hmm!"
Zuoqiu Zong nodded obediently.
"Well, to be honest, when I met such a good girl, it was impossible to say that I would let it go. However, as a man, there are many important things to do in addition to these children's personal affairs, not to mention that we still catch fast. ā
Ji Jingtian continued to say to Zuoqiu Zong.
"Hmm. ā
Zuoqiu Zong didn't say anything, and nodded obediently.
"I said Zuoqiu Zong, your favor is not a thing, can I tell you, the county lord in the county government has changed now, and the ancestor Yugong has also been taken away by the people from above?"
Ji Jingtian saw that Zuoqiu Zong had always been gracious, so he had to bring up a more lethal killer weapon.
"What, the grandfather was taken away, where did they go, why did they take the grandfather?"
After Zuoqiu Zong heard this, he was no longer gracious, and poured out his incomprehension like pouring beans into a bamboo basket.
"There was an accident in Yuancheng County, many sects were wiped out, and then the father-in-law neglected his duties, resulting in such a big case, of course he was taken away, who do you think these cases will do?"
Ji Jingtian asked Zuo Qiuzong with a serious face.
"Could it be those people who destroyed the Soldier Cultivation Gate?"
Zuoqiu Zong asked Ji Jingtian with a curious expression.
"Yes, who else but them would do this? Do you want revenge?"
Ji Jingtian continued to ask Zuoqiu Zong.
"I want to, I dream of it. ā
Zuo Qiu Zong gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay, if you want to, listen to me later. ā
Ji Jingtian said to Zuoqiu Sect with a serious face.
"Okay. ā
Zuoqiu Sect did not hesitate at all.
In Zuoqiu Zong's heart, Ji Jingtian's style of doing things is a little strange, but whether it is for him or for Xiao Liuzi, this person is still quite good to them. So he agreed to Ji Jingtian without any thinking.
"You still have a task to complete before taking revenge, remember, it's you who complete, of course you can bring Jiang Yan and Du Ge's two of your partners, but I can't participate in this mission, the new county master has just taken office, I can't get out, and besides, if I leave, it will cause suspicion." ā
Ji Jingtian said very seriously to Zuoqiu Sect.
"What task?"
After hearing this, Zuoqiu Sect couldn't help but become even more curious.
"Your original county grandfather, Grandpa Yu, is in danger now, and you have to save him. ā
Ji Jingtian said categorically.
"What, how can it be dangerous?"
Zuoqiu Zong asked with an incredulous face after hearing this.
"Today, the herald asked for a bribe from the father-in-law, but the father-in-law did not give it, and the father-in-law will definitely not be sentenced very severely after the crime of dereliction of duty is brought back, and I suspect that they will retaliate on the way. ā
"It's as simple as that?"
"No, of course it's not that simple. The answer to Yuancheng County happened last night, and today they came to Yuancheng County, and the road from Yuancheng to Huanzhou will take two days and two nights even if they ride a horse, even if the news of this case is transmitted from Yuancheng County to Huanzhou, and then immediately send people from Huanzhou to Yuancheng County to at least four days and four nights, this is still the case of not eating, drinking, or resting and hurrying. ā
Ji Jingtian said with a frown.
"You mean they've been up there for a long time?"
Zuoqiu Zong asked with curiosity on his face.
"No, it's that this case is directly related to some people up there. So now the father-in-law's situation is very dangerous. ā
Ji Jingtian turned around and stared at Zuoqiu Sect and replied very seriously.
