Huang Dian's official retreated to the door, suddenly remembered something, stopped, prostrate on the ground, and said to Fan Yanshi: "The adults are above, and the little ones are here today to repay the kindness of the county lord." Even if the villain faces revenge, he has to come for the sake of loyalty.

I want to think that Zhou County respects the public with one heart and two sleeves. Now that he has been slandered by Diao Min and victimized by Ye Xingyuan, the small one really can't look at it. Adults can go to survey the county's wealth, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are poor, but I ask your lords to be impartial!"

As he spoke, the yellow official kowtowed, and the blue brick floor made a dull sound, and when he raised his head again, his forehead was bruised. Ye Xingyuan watched from the side, and felt pain for him, and said in his heart that this Huang Dian was really a resolute person, and he had to play a good show of loyalty at this time.

No matter how loyal Huang Dian is to Zhou Zhixian in his heart, but judging from this performance, it is the master and the slave. Scholars have a "monarch and minister know the encounter" complex, and Fan Yanshi couldn't help but be moved, so he waved his hand to stop it:

"This official will not let go of a bad person, nor will he wronged a good person, you can go back and wait with peace of mind. ”

Fan Yanshi's tone really softened a little, the way of this world is to eat "loyalty", even if it is just pretending, as an official who comes to inspect the people's situation, it is impossible to be indifferent.

Ye Xingyuan secretly regretted that he had known that today should not have been so merciful in the first place! It turned out that when Huang Dian was in cahoots with Zhou Zhixian, Ye Xingyuan also suffered losses.

Later, Ye Xingyuan took pity on Huang Dian's broken arm, and felt that a cripple who had lost his backer couldn't set off the wind and waves, so he didn't retaliate for the time being, but he didn't expect to be bitten back fiercely at this time.

The so-called fighting snakes does not die, but suffers from them, Ye Xingyuan has learned a lesson, and secretly wakes up in his heart, he must not make the same mistake again in the future.

However, he said that after Huang Dian's departure, Ye Xingyuan and Fan Yan did not speculate, and there was no reason to continue here, so they had to leave first.

Ouyang Juren also figured out that something was wrong. A little worried, he said to Ye Xingyuan: "This Fan Daren's style is a little strange, we have to take precautions, maybe we should write a few more letters?"

Ouyang Juren has always felt that he still has a good way to be in the provincial capital. It is said that Fan Yan's matter, even if he can't help the gentry's side, at least he should deal with it impartially. But this Lord Fan only listened to Huang Dian's words today, and he wanted to detain Ye Xingyuan, which was really a little unreasonable.

Ye Xingyuan shook his head. "No need, officialdom has its own way of acting, everything that should be reported has been written, and it is useless to write again, unless you tear your face and go to the capital. ”

Before, many yamen such as the governor's yamen, the inspection and envoy department, and the Hanjiang Mansion had written to them, and in the end, the provincial capital sent down this Fan Shishi, in fact, if you think about it carefully, it has already faintly revealed some meaning.

A magistrate suddenly disappeared, whether he abandoned his official position or absconded, or was beaten to death. It's all sensational. In particular, the local gentry and Zhouzhi County have a serious contradiction, and Lichen Zhouzhi County is a monster fake, let alone a general local incident.

In fact, this kind of incident should not be handled by a five-rank official alone, although the governor and the envoy should not be lightly moved, but another chief officer at the level of deputy envoy should also be sent to come.

For example, Governor Zhang's Mansion, Guiyang County is under the rule of Hanjiang Mansion, but he has not even given any instructions in the past ten days. Distance is by no means a problem, although Guiyang County is a poor and remote country, but it will take a few days at most to get here from Fucheng.

I thought it was because it was almost the New Year. Therefore, the boss and officials are less moved. But now it seems that this peculiar silence and the attitude of making big things small are likely to come from the silent instructions of the provincial capital.

It's no wonder that Governor Zhang's mansion seems to be an invisible person in this incident. Not even a word or a book was replied to. Now that I think about it, it can be explained.

If this is the case, even if Ouyang Juren tries hard to read the book, it will only be disgusting. Even if they were originally friends, they had to avoid it, and maybe it would be counterproductive.

Now the plan. I can only wait patiently, believing that there is no impermeable wall in the world, paper can't contain fire, and the matter of monsters pretending to be local officials is not a trivial matter. Today's Fan Yanshi seems to be high, but I am afraid that I also have the feeling of being roasted on the fire in my heart, maybe it is a rafter that has been pushed out.

Therefore, Ye Xingyuan persuaded Ouyang to raise people, return to Qianshan Village, and continue to wait.

After three days like this, there is still no new news, Ouyang Juren is even more anxious, and Mrs. Mo is also a lover, so she doesn't leave, and keeps urging Liu Dun to find out the news.

"Calm down. Ye Xingyuan thought for a while and said, "Now that three days have passed, Lord Fan will never get nothing from a vegetarian meal. I'll visit the county mansion again to find out the news. ”

It is not appropriate for Ouyang to raise people to go again, but it seems that the local gentry are aggressive. Liu Dun's status is too far behind, although he is on an errand in the Yamen, he doesn't know many things. It's better for Ye Xingyuan to ask about the follow-up as a party in a frank manner, and it is expected that Fan Yishi will not dare to do anything to him.

So on this day, Ye Xingyuan finished breakfast, went out of the village and went down the mountain, all the way to the county mansion, and asked to see Fan Yanshi. Fan was not lazy, and was invited in quickly.

The mansion was full of various files, and Fan Yanshi sat in it, looking quite diligent. I saw him frowning, gently brushing his beard, and sighing while looking at the case file.

Ye Xingyuan stepped forward to salute, and Fan Yishi put down the case file in his hand and signaled: "I was about to summon you today, but it was a coincidence, you just happened to arrive." ”

Is this a polite remark or is it true? Ye Xingyuan speculated in his heart, could it be that Fan Yan had obtained some evidence from Zhou Zhixian County, so he wanted to invite him to confront him?

As long as it can be verified that Zhou Zhixian is a monster, how to deal with it after that has nothing to do with Ye Xingyuan, and what he is concerned about is nothing more than this point.

Fan Yishi thought for a while, and said carefully: "This official has been returning to the county since he came, and he never sleeps, first he asked people to copy the county office, and the things and things related to Zhouzhi County were marked one by one, and they were counted. Later, he checked the files of Zhou Zhixian for more than two years in office, and he saw all of them with his own eyes."

In the end, according to the official system of the Inspectorate Department, there is still a certain routine for doing this kind of investigation, and Fan Yanshi's personal ability is not very strong, but his actions are also orderly.

But is there any result? Ye Xingyuan didn't have time to ask, so he heard Fan Yanshi sigh again, "It's just that nothing has been found, don't say that the local gentry have proved that they are monsters, even if there is no other corruption." On the private accounts of Zhou Zhi County, there are only eight taels of silver. The accounts are clear, and the pen has a place to go, which is really a model for my generation!"

If Zhou Zhixian is still a clean official, can he not affect his judgment because of this kind of private morality, Ye Xingyuan hurriedly said: "My lord, this demon has a very big plan, so naturally he doesn't care about money and silver, so he can't be unaware!"

Fan Yishi nodded, "This official also knows about this matter, but so far, Zhou Zhixian's residence has been turned upside down, and he still can't see that he is a monster, which makes it a little difficult for this official." ”

Zhou Zhixian actually did it so cleanly? Ye Xingyuan also frowned, this is really troublesome. But it's theoretically impossible.,Youkai and human habits are different.,There's always something to be found.。

It seems that this kind of thing should be carried out by a more professional demon hunting master or someone with corresponding magical powers, could there be something wrong with this Fan Yishi?

Ye Xingyuan was thinking about how to speak, but Fan Yanshi lowered his voice first and said: "This official has been thinking hard for a few days and has come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, you can take a look at this conclusion." ”

You haven't found out anything, and you're ready to close the case? This is a gourd verdict! Ye Xingyuan stretched out his hand to take the paperwork, and didn't look at the previous rambling words, but only looked at the key points in the second half, but saw that it was clearly written:

"Zhou Wenli, the county magistrate, worries about the county government, and has a cerebral and blood disease. Xiucai Ye Xingyuan and Zhou Wenli quarreled with each other, beat each other and were injured, Zhou Wenli's blood surged up, he lost his mind, lost in the mountains, and could not be found"

Ye Xingyuan looked up at Fan Yishi who was sitting upright and smiling in shock, this statement is equivalent to making the fake Zhou Zhixian "mentally ill"! It's also a shame that this adult can think of it!

Fan Yishi saw that Ye Xingyuan had finished reading it, and explained: "Everything must be empirical, and with the human and physical evidence collected by the current official, it cannot prove your "monster" theory, nor can it prove the "killing officials and rebelling" statement. So in the end, in order to fit with the evidence, it can only be explained in this way. ”

Of course Ye Xingyuan was not satisfied with this explanation, it was obvious that he was expelling monsters to benefit the place, how could it become a fight with the mentally ill Zhixian, and the mentally ill Zhixian ran away?

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if beating the magistrate is lighter than killing an official and rebelling, it is still a crime, so why should you bear this crime for no reason? Ordinary people beat the magistrate, it is said that he was sentenced to three years in exile, and Xiucai beat the magistrate and the ghost knows!

Ye Xingyuan immediately defended: "It doesn't match the facts! The student admits that he has eliminated violence and expelled demons, and he is not guilty of beating the magistrate!"

"Your worries, this official also understands, so let's put it another way?" said Master Fan seemingly discussively. Then he lifted his pen and wrote a few more lines.

Ye Xingyuan took it and looked at it, and his eyes were: "Xiucai Ye Xingyuan, because of his excessive reading intentions, has always had phlegm obsession, and competed with Zhou Wenli in Zhixian County, Ye Xingyuan is phlegm obsessed, similar to losing his heart Zhou Wenli lost in the mountains, and cannot be found"

Damn! Ye Xingyuan was shocked by Master Fan again! A mountain is even higher, this time he wants to let himself and Zhou Zhixian both be "mentally ill"!

Fan Baishi smiled and said, "Since you are crazy, this official can guarantee and reduce your charges, how about it?"

Although Lord Fan's smiling face was as warm as a spring breeze, Ye Xingyuan felt like a cold winter. He cried out in his heart, how can man be so humble! )
