Chapter 651
Thinking of this, Wen Xiaoyun straightened his clothes, raised his hand and pushed open the door, walked across the threshold with his head held high, and walked into the room.

Compared with the crowded room of the execution room, which is full of files and bookshelves, the second room is much more spacious. There is a huge mahogany desk in the main seat, on which there are some papers and official documents piled up besides pens, inks, papers and inkstones.On both sides, there are seating tables similar to auditorium seats.

The rest of the seats are empty, not even half of the waiters.There are no lamps on the vertical candlesticks behind the tables and chairs, and there is only an oil lamp on the main table.

The flame of the oil lamp flickered, shining a small yellow halo in the silent darkness.The light transmittance was very weak, and when it scattered to the table, it was so weak that it was almost completely swallowed by the darkness.

However, at the junction of light and darkness, stood a tall man in official uniform standing with his hands behind his back.Although the official uniform is loose, it can still show his slender and delicate figure.On his head was a black gauze hat with short wings and a light brim, and he tilted his head slightly, his eyes seemed to be far away, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

Even though his back was facing Wen Xiaoyun, just from his broad shoulders and tall and straight figure, Wen Xiaoyun could feel the extraordinary demeanor of arrogance in him.

Wen Xiaoyun's eyebrows moved slightly, and with just one glance, she saw that the other party deliberately created a dark and tense atmosphere to frighten her.

The importance of the second hall is second only to the trial hall in the county government.Under normal circumstances, the second hall would light at least four candlesticks for illumination, and the candles in each candlestick were as thick as an arm.

Otherwise, the officials inside would not be able to do business at all when it was dark.

Wen Xiaoyun sneered unconsciously in his heart, it seems that it is popular in Teng County to show off newcomers.

But trying to scare her, Wen Xiaoyun, a modern person who has known 500 years before and 500 years after, would be the wrong idea.

While secretly cheering herself up, Wen Xiaoyun bowed to the magistrate of Teng County who was standing behind the table with his back facing her, "The clerk of the punishment room, Wen Xiaoyun, took office yesterday, and I am here to invite the magistrate .”

Her voice was high-pitched and resonant, and there was a slight trill reverberating in the huge second hall.

Hearing Wen Xiaoyun's voice, the county magistrate turned his shoulders slightly, glanced sideways at Wen Xiaoyun, paused for a while, and then uttered a few words coldly, "Wen Xiaoyun?"

Wen Xiaoyun raised his head, but the place where the county magistrate was standing was too dark to see his side face clearly.

She could only lower her head again and respectfully replied, "It's my subordinate."

"There is a word, you said it wrong." Although the tone of the young magistrate was low and calm, there was a faint aura of authority without anger.

Wen Xiaoyun frowned in doubt, "This subordinate is dull, please show me clearly."

The young magistrate sneered, "You didn't really join the job."

Wen Xiaoyun put down his hands, stood upright, looked at the blurred silhouette of the man's back, and asked in a deep voice: "What orders does your lord have, I will do my best."

Hearing this answer, the young magistrate was slightly stunned, then turned around and couldn't help chuckling, "He's pretty smart, but if he's too smart and pretends to be smart, it's better to be dull."

As he said that, he didn't give Wen Xiaojun any time to react, and directly asked the first question, "When the old man tied the tooth card with you, what color was the cuff of the underwear that was exposed?"

Wen Xiaoyun's heart sank. The young county magistrate thought so deeply that he gave her the exam questions from the very beginning.

However, this is not the most frightening thing. What is really frightening is that he seems to have a special understanding of himself.

Even if it is to test the power of observation, most people will only ask which hand the old man is using, or what pattern is on the sleeve.

After all, people who can recall these details without any preparation have excellent insight.

However, the young county magistrate specifically asked old man Fu the tricky question of the color of the cuffs of his underwear, which barely showed much. It is difficult to verify.

And her current status is just a small prison official, logically speaking, she is not worthy of him, a county magistrate, to personally make things difficult and harsh.So the most reasonable explanation is the second one.

Thinking of this, Wen Xiaoyun's spine felt chills, and she was a little uncertain for a moment, whether this was good or bad for her and Yin Nuo.

"Why?" The young county magistrate let out a disdainful sneer from his nasal cavity, "Can't you answer?"

Wen Xiaojun bit her lower lip hard, and began to quickly replay all the details of the previous scene in her mind.

In normal times, it would not be too difficult for her to recall the details of these unorthodox ones.The difficulty is that the sky is too dark, and that old man Fu moves too fast.

too fast? !
The image of old man Fu shaking his wrists and straightening his sleeves suddenly magnified in front of Wen Xiaoyun's eyes, "Gray." She replied without thinking.

"When the old man stepped on the steps in front of the second hall, which leg did he step on first?"

Wen Xiaoyun closed his eyes, the old man walked in front, and the scene of the lantern in his hand flashing suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

He held the lantern in his right hand, and when he stepped up the steps, the shadow cast by the light just covered his right foot.

"Left leg!" she said firmly.
