Chapter 41(1/2)
Today, the county yamen officials received their salary, and Yi Shuyuan arrived very early, after all, he didn't sleep.
Yi Shuyuan, who came out of the county government office, was in a better mood. It can be seen that the county government still took good care of him and received a total salary of 4 taels and 200 yuan.
If Yi Shuyuan, who had just come to this world, might have no idea about this money, but now he would shout in his heart, "It's a huge sum of money!"
There is no limit on what luxury goods to buy, and if you only want to satisfy your basic life, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is enough to buy food for ordinary people for a year.
Of course, if you really convert the actual purchasing power, it may be the general salary level in your previous life, but it is definitely better than the level of others here.
Today is Fu Mu again, so Yi Shuyuan of course went straight to Tongxin Tower to satisfy his desire to speak first.
But a yamen runner rushed over disrupted Yi Shuyuan's plan. Before the person could reach the account room, the shouting sound had already come.
"Mr. Yi, Mr. Yi! The county master asked you to go to the official office quickly!"
The yamen runners were obviously in a hurry, and they were breathing slightly when they ran to Yi Shuyuan. Yi Shuyuan's first reaction was that Lin Xiu wanted to read the county annals he compiled, and he couldn't help feeling helpless.
Why are the leaders here also interested in the work progress during the holidays?
But the yamen runner's next words made Yi Shuyuan know that he was thinking a little wrong.
"Mr. Yi, someone has come from Yuezhou City. It's Jia Yuntong's case. Lord County Master asked you to go there soon!"
Yi Shuyuan frowned slightly and knew the importance of the matter. After saying the word "go", he quickly walked towards the county magistrate's office. The yamen runners naturally rushed to chase after Yi Shuyuan to lead the way.
While still on the way, Yi Shuyuan asked about some details and learned that the governor of Yuezhou had sent many people to Lin Xiu to learn about the detailed process of the case in person. Yi Shuyuan, as a key figure in the development of the case, naturally could not be absent.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After all, the county magistrate's office is within the scope of the county yard, and Yi Shuyuan and the yamen runners are very anxious, so they arrived in a while.
It was a separate courtyard. The two of them had just arrived at the door and saw at least a dozen unfamiliar officials in their clothes. They were dressed in dark green and wore knotted heads. Most of them held standard official knives in their hands, but some were wearing chains or carrying special sticks.
It seemed that he heard the steps of the two people. Many people looked out the door. Yi Shuyuan ignored those people and walked straight towards the reception hall. He could see that there were a few other people inside, besides the county government officials. The leader was wearing a long-winged hat, which should be an official from Yuezhou.
When Yi Shuyuan arrived at the door, he had already practiced rituals towards Lin Xiu first.
"Mr. County Master, Yi is here!"
Seeing Yi Shuyuan coming, Lin Xiu subconsciously stood up from his seat.
"Mr. Yi, come in, come on, let me introduce you to you, this is Mr. Yi, Mr. Yi, here is Lord Li, the magistrate of Yuezhou. These are all public servants in Yuezhou City!"
When Yi Shuyuan entered the door, all his eyes looked at him, and the yamen runner who followed him became a transparent man. He was standing aside carefully and didn't even dare to say anything.
In contrast, Yi Shuyuan was generous and bowed to several senior officials in Yuezhou.
"Yi Shuyuan, a civil servant in Yuanjiang County, has met several adults!"
The Yuezhou Tongzhe and several policemen were looking at Yi Shuyuan up and down, and the former snorted and asked.
"Hmph, are you the one who can see the ghost?"
Yi Shuyuan frowned and raised his head. His tone was not very polite. He glanced at the case table with his eyes. The case file that day was spread out on it, and it was obviously seen several rounds.
However, Yi Shuyuan was not anxious or angry. After answering with the respectful attitude he should have, he turned to Lin Xiu again.
"It's right here, Lord Lin, I wonder what you are asking for here?"
Yi Shuyuan asked this question clearly, but he still had to do it, which also facilitated Lin Xiu, the county chief, to take back the initiative.
But before Lin Xiu could speak, Lord Li from Yuezhou had already spoken first.
"According to the file, is your mouth on behalf of the female ghost He Xin in this case? Is there such a thing?"
Yi Shuyuan complained about his great official power in his heart, and nodded in his face.
"This is indeed the case."
"Then let that female ghost talk to you again?"
This was obviously a bit difficult. Wu Minggao, who was on the other hand, gritted his teeth and spoke out to rescue him.
"Mr. Tongzong, it is difficult for ghosts to enter the county government. It is now during the day, so ghosts must be difficult for ghosts to appear, and ghosts are not called to come..."
Yi Shuyuan also spoke.
"Mr. Wu said very much, but even if Miss He is not here, Jia Yuntong's confession cannot be fake here. Some things can be found out by just checking them."
"Hmph, the file is clearly written. Jia Yuntong was sentenced to punishment before pleading guilty. It's hard to guarantee that he would be a slander, right?"
"Mr. Tongzong is too arbitrary. This person arrested and injured people, causing many good men to be harmed by our county government. It is normal to take them to the yamen to receive some criminal law!"
The person who spoke was the county magistrate of Yuanjiang County. His shoulder injury had not healed yet. He had a cloth rope hanging on one arm. This was more convincing.
But someone next to the magistrate sneered in a low voice: "Good guy?"
This sentence was a double talk, and the county magistrate was furious and looked at the man Chuyan hard. Just as he was about to speak, the county magistrate of Yuanjiang County, who was not very familiar with Yi Shuyuan, immediately spoke.
"Uh, OK, everyone is doing things for the court, don't be hurt by the harmony!"
The master on the side quickly agreed.
"Yes, we are discussing the case, don't be hurt by the harmony!"
Lin Xiu took a deep breath.
"The Ministry of Justice will explain this case, so the magistrate should not be too worried."
The Yuezhou Tongzong frowned and glanced at everyone in Yuanjiang County.
"Lin Xiu, you don't know who the Wuzhou magistrate is. You should always know that the former Wuzhou governor is the current Minister of Personnel. How can you convince the superiors? Just rely on the file for the ghost to seek justice?"
If it were other Beijing officials, Lin Xiu might not know it. However, the Ministry of Personnel was responsible for the evaluation of officials in various places. Although the Shangshu was the chief official, he only looked at the overall situation. Those who were really responsible for the work and were able to speak were the ministers, so Lin Xiu could not be clear about it.
As for what went wrong? Tongzong didn't say it clearly, but even Yi Shuyuan could think of it.
Indeed, for the people in Yuanjiang County, this case was personal experience, so naturally everyone believed it, but for others, especially the officials above, this kind of statement is somewhat absurd.
When Yi Shuyuan saw that the county magistrate was silent, he spoke.
"If Master Tong doesn't believe it, please ask the officers present that night, and go to the dungeon to ask Jia Yuntong personally. I believe this person will not revise his confession."
"Hmph, I'll ask if you don't have to say it!"
As he said that, the Yuezhou Tongzong sighed and looked at the county magistrate who looked not very good-looking.
"Lin Xiu, the dispute between the government and the country is the most dangerous. I am also afraid that you will miss it. Because this matter is used as a knife. I have also read your evaluation over the years. Although there is no achievements, there is nothing wrong with it. Don't blame me for not reminding you about some things. No matter what the result of this case is, it will be difficult for you to survive alone."
As if he was aroused by this sentence, Lin Xiu became angry and his spirit was scattered. It made Yi Shuyuan feel that his body was a little brighter, but he didn't say anything too excited when he spoke.
"The Xiaguan knew it. All he did was his duty. Thank you for your concern!"
The Yuezhou Tongzhe shook his head and said nothing more.
"Let's go, take me to the dungeon!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The group soon came to the dungeon, but the people who came from Yuezhou City took over the defense of the dungeon almost at the same time, and each occupied some key posts in the dungeon. The original yamen runners and guards did not dare to leave their posts or scold these people, which was a little embarrassed.
Lin Xiu followed the Yuezhou Tongzong and frowned and questioned.
"Sir, why is this?"
The Yuezhou Tongzhe glanced at him.
"Just relying on the remaining yamen runners in Yuanjiang County now, how can I talk about defense? This official is temporarily in charge."
The officials in Yuanjiang County could only recognize him.
In the dungeon, the Sixth Master of the Prisoner of the Prison, how could he have the same style as the only one in the prison, like a diligent pawn walking in front of the way for these big men.
"Sir, you're here, Jia Yuntong is in the innermost!"
Several officials following Yuezhou Tongzhe were all attracted by the people who were huddled in another cell, and some people couldn't help but scream.
"Gibbon Sun Shiwan?" "Yes!"
"You didn't admit your mistake?" "There's no mistake. This guy has carried several lives on his back, but he didn't expect to be caught and locked up here!"
"He actually protects Jia Yuntong?" "Hmph, this time, the new and old hatreds can be calculated, and let him taste our methods!"
Several people walked by while the jail masters did not say a word, and their faces looked very gloomy.
Soon, everyone reached the end of the dungeon, and Jia Yuntong was still deflated in that corner. He Xin, who heard the movement, turned to the door first and saw so many people, especially these warriors with great evil spirits, subconsciously retreated slightly.
But when he saw Yi Shuyuan and Lin Xiu in the crowd, He Xin immediately showed joy and saluted the two of them.
"Minister He Xin has met Lord Lin and met Mr. Yi. Mr. Yi. Lord Lin cannot hear it. Tell him I have saluted!"
Yi Shuyuan nodded slightly, but had no intention of opening his mouth. He Xin didn't dare to urge him, so he just watched from the side.
"Jia Yuntong, the Lord of Yuezhou and the Lord of County Zun are here to see you, come out quickly!"
"Don't come to me, don't come to me, it's not just a business..."
Jia Yuntong responded tremblingly.
"Jia Yuntong, come out for me!"
"Don't look for me, don't look for me..."
The prison chief shouted several times and responded with this sentence, which made the people in Yuezhou frown and whisper.
