Zhurou

Chapter 71
Zhao Yasi said again: "I've been working as a police officer for three or four years, why are you still so restless?"

The little official said with a mournful face: "Xie Tong judged every eighth to sit in court to try the case. Today is the eighteenth. It's already the time, but I don't know why it hasn't come out yet. If he knows that I made the arrest document privately, and followed the vines, I will turn over the matter." With so many past incidents, with his methods, it's the next best thing that I can't keep this job, I'm afraid I will be half-crippled!"

Zhao Yasi laughed and said, "That's where it's at! The sky is falling, and I'll take care of it for you! It's really not possible, isn't there your father?"

While talking, he took out a porcelain cup, poured him a cup of tea, and said, "Taste it, today's good fortune you have accumulated in eight lifetimes - this is the dragon and phoenix cake offered by Jianxi. If it weren't for the turmoil in the north and the southward migration today , such a good thing, how can it be my turn to eat it!"

As he spoke, he pushed the cup of tea to the opposite side.

The little official didn't want to drink tea, so he had no choice but to take the teacup, and walked to the door to look outside, eagerly waiting for the person who went to talk to come back.

Seeing his appearance, Zhao Yasi was very impatient and disliked him, but thinking that this human race had been deeply rooted in Junzhou for many years, and his father was also an old official, so he couldn't be bothered to talk to him anymore, and slowly closed himself Carefully savor the aftertaste of tea at the root of the tongue.

For a moment, there were only the sound of hurriedly pacing back and forth and smacking lips in the room.

After about two incense sticks of time, I finally heard footsteps—the person who went to ask the question strode in the door, with a face full of panic, rushed to the desk in the room, and said: "Abs...Abs, then Li Xun is not in prison!"

"What did you say?!"

Zhao Yasi's hand trembled, the support of the cup was unstable, and the cup on top turned over with his hand, and fell to the ground with a "pop".

The best cyanotic black rabbit hair Jianzhan was smashed into several pieces of porcelain.

But Zhao Yasi didn't care about his beloved thing, he just stared at the opposite person and said: "What do you mean not in prison?"

The visitor was sweating all over from running, out of breath, and said: "I searched everything up and down, and I really don't have that Li Xun."

"Don't you know how to read the custody book?!" The little official asked.

The visitor said: "There is nothing in the custody book - I went to look through it several times last night, today, and even the day before yesterday."

When he said this, his voice trembled a little: "Not only that, Wu Er and the others also disappeared. I asked people to ask, and they all said..."

"What are you talking about!"

This time, not only the little official was urging him to ask questions, but even Zhao Yasi couldn't care less about losing his composure, so he urged him loudly.

The man was forced like this, but lowered his voice, and said: "I heard that early in the morning, Wu Er and the others were ordered by Xie Tong to enter the back office, and they haven't come out yet..."

When he said this, he couldn't help but coughed earth-shatteringly, he didn't know if he was running away, or he was flustered, and he lost his breath.

Zhao Yasi, who had been very calm before, looked a little ugly this time.

It's just that he has been an old official for many years, and he is old enough to calculate, so he said immediately: "Let someone go to the Yamen first to inquire about it, and see where Wu Er and the others are, why they haven't come out, and what are they doing in there?" matter."

He said again: "Go and find out about Li Xun's whereabouts—in all likelihood, he is also in the back office. I just don't know what Xie Tongpan's thoughts are."

He sighed, and said: "Love the official but not the money, this kind of person is the most difficult to deal with, I'm afraid he wants to make such a prestige, then it will be troublesome."

Then he asked the little official, "How much did Fu Da give you that day?"

The little official shrunk his neck and said, "Why does the Yasi ask this?"

Zhao Yasi glared at him coldly, and said, "At this time, it's important to save our lives, why are you hiding it!"

The little official had no choice but to say: "I gave you eight hundred guan..."

He said vigilantly again: "Why, you don't want me to spit it out?"

Zhao Yasi said coldly: "If you are smart, send all the money back to him at this moment. Of course, whether you vomit or not is your business. If something happens to you, then Fu Da will take you to bite him. But don't blame me for not remembering old love!"

He said again: "Eight hundred coins is indeed a lot. You go home and ask your father to see if you want to keep it."

While talking, he rang the bell again to call someone in, and said in front of the little official: "Go to my mansion and ask Madam to go to the warehouse to take out all the things in the grid of Ding 39 and give them to Fu Dafu." Send it back here, and send back the land deed and house deed in the second grid of my study—that is, the two places in Jindao Lane—to Fu Da.”

The little official was secretly stunned and dissatisfied.

He originally thought that he had received [-] guan, which was quite a lot, but now he compared it, but found that compared with what Fu Da gave to the secretary, it was nothing!

He is the one who does the dirtiest and most tiring work, but he is also the one who gets the least money!

At this moment, I have to spit it all back!

Zhao Yasi didn't care what he was thinking, and after he had explained it, he turned around again and urged the little official, "What are you still doing here! Go out quickly and get Zhao who claims to be engaged to Li Xun The daughter-in-law is stable, don't ask her to cause trouble."

The little official said angrily, "If I knew how to hold her steady, I would still come here to ask you what you are doing!"

He still wanted to complain, but he heard footsteps outside, and after a while, someone knocked on the door outside, calling: "Zhao Yasi."

The man opened the door and came in, saying: "Zhao Yasi, Xie Tong judge has an invitation."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the little official at the side, but he didn't look surprised at all, he just breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "So you are also there, just in time, Xie Tongpan wants to find you if he has something to do—let's come together."

Here Zhao Yasi and the little official feel guilty and are going to the back office.

In the other place, in the front office, Zhao Mingzhi waited for a while but no one came out, and looked at the weather outside, not wanting to delay any longer, and was about to get up to go out, when he pushed the door, he saw a young official standing outside.

His hand was about to knock on the door.

The official is not tall and has an ordinary appearance. He just smiles when he sees people and looks very kind.

When he saw Zhao Mingzhi, he asked, "Is that Miss Zhao?"

Zhao Mingzhi looked at him in surprise.

The official pointed to the opposite room, and said: "I was sitting there just now, and I heard you talking, and because I felt strange, I told Xie Tongpan about it—Tongpan wants to see you now."

Taking another two steps away, he said, "Follow me."

Although Zhao Mingzhi felt strange, he did not hesitate, raised his leg and followed.

In broad daylight, even if there are any private affairs in the state government office, they dare not mess around.

What's more, there are Ping An bodyguards guarding outside, if something happens, they will come to ask for someone, and if there is something wrong, I just left a letter and asked them to deliver it to Caizhou at that time.

The two bypassed several public rooms, and went straight to a side hall of the front office.

There was a big table in the side hall, and behind the table sat a person, about 30 years old, wearing an official uniform, with a fair face and a beardless face. He had a good appearance, but his lips were thin and his expression was a bit serious.

When he saw Zhao Mingzhi, he looked him up and down, and after a long while, he asked again: "Is that you and Li Xun engaged?"

Zhao Mingzhi nodded and said, "Exactly."

The man's expression suddenly became a little strange, and he asked again: "He has already gone to your house to be hired, and the six rituals on both sides have also been completed?"

Zhao Mingzhi felt that this person was asking a strange question, but he still insisted, "Exactly."

He asked again: "I don't know where Li Langjun is now?"

The man hesitated for a moment, but he stood up and said, "If that's the case, you can come with me."

While speaking, they are leading the way.

The two went one after the other, took a cup of tea, and actually entered the back office directly.

When he was outside a room, the man suddenly stood still, turned his head and said to Zhao Mingzhi: "You stay here for a while."

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward a few steps, pushed open the door and entered.

Through a thin window, Zhao Mingzhi heard him asking inside: "Li Er, when did you get married? A woman named Zhao is looking for you outside..."

There was no one answering for a long while, and in a short time, the door opened from the inside, and a person strode out from it.

His stature is extremely tall, his eyes are extremely black and bright, and his eyebrows are very thick, but there is rare anxiety between his eyebrows.

As soon as he went out, he glanced over and met Zhao Mingzhi's eyes.

"Miss Zhao."

Li Xun called her.
