Chapter 39
Duan Ling, the chief registrar of Dali Temple, has been extremely busy these days.
Pei Wuyan gave Duan Ling a task to count all the cases related to the theory of ghosts and gods in all the records of Dali Temple. Starting from the most recent one, going back.
In recent days, besides being busy with the impeachment of Fang Qingxuan and the official duties of Dali Temple, Pei Wuyan stayed in his study and read the case files sent by Duan Ling.
Pei Wuyan not only enjoyed being immersed in various ghost and god cases, but also insisted on dragging Yu Qingfeng, Lin Ming and Lian Shurong to watch them with him.
During the ten days after returning to the capital, the four of them exchanged stories about the strange cases in the past year.
From the beginning, Yu Qingfeng was reluctant to complete the task, but in the end she became happy and eager to try it.
"The four of us will vote and select a case for review." Pei Wuyan suggested.
Lin Ming smiled awkwardly, but stopped talking.
Lian Shurong bared his teeth and said, "No way? Mr. Pei, are you using your power for personal gain? This is obviously your personal hobby."
Pei Wuyan once again ignored Lian Shurong's protest and took the lead in writing, "Let's get started."
Yu Qingfeng picked up the pen for the second time, and just as she was about to start writing, she suddenly realized that she couldn't write, so she had to look up the case files she had just read again.
"Haha," Lian Shurong pointed at Yu Qingfeng and shouted, "Yu Qingfeng, are you illiterate?"
"What, what did you say?" Yu Qingfeng felt extremely humiliated, "When we first met, I was just here to read the files, okay?"
"Who knows if you can really understand it? Or has someone told you in advance to help you cover it up?" Lian Shurong said, his eyes drifting towards Pei Wuyan.
Seeing that Pei Wuyan didn't respond, Lian Shurong became even more proud, "Maybe you were just pretending. You can't understand these files at all."
Lin Ming glared at Lian Shurong, shook his head slightly, and signaled him to shut up.
"You're talking nonsense."
Yu Qingfeng felt a little guilty. It would be absolute nonsense to say that she was illiterate, but it was also wrong to say that she was the same as the three of them.
She recognized the traditional Chinese characters, but if she really wanted to write them, she really couldn't write a few.
Lian Shurong was very interested. He walked to Yu Qingfeng's desk, snatched the file from Yu Qingfeng's hand and put it behind his back. "You can read, then you can write it. Which one do you want to review?"
"You say I can't understand?" Yu Qingfeng simply threw the brush down and said, "I'm telling you, I can understand them all, more thoroughly than you. If you don't believe me, just pick whatever you want and I'll read you a passage."
Lian Shurong really didn't believe in evil, so he randomly selected a page from a case file and asked Yu Qingfeng to read it.
Although Yu Qingfeng didn't read it fluently, she read it word for word.
Now Lian Shurong was confused, "Then you write..."
"Why should I write when I am in the mood to write? I now understand why the case still needs to be reviewed. We in Dayong have too many arbitrary and stupid officials who are good at conjecture and decide cases based on subjective preferences, so there are too many unjust, false and wrong cases.
."
Yu Qingfeng pretended to be angry. Anyway, she wanted to avoid this disaster. She must not let people know that she couldn't write.
"What do you mean?" Lian Shurong felt the spear pointed at him.
"Not only is it arbitrary and stupid, but it's also slow to react." Yu Qingfeng muttered in a low voice.
"Yu Qingfeng..." Lian Shurong slammed the desk in front of Yu Qingfeng.
"What are you doing?" Yu Qingfeng raised her head and looked directly at Lian Shurong.
"Aren't you just relying on Mr. Pei to support you, so you are confident?"
"So what..."
Pei Wuyan raised his hand to interrupt the bickering between the two, "Don't involve me in your feud over the holidays. Yu Qingfeng and I have a simple master-servant relationship. If we must say it is a little different from ordinary masters and servants -"
"What is it?" Lin Ming blurted out.
Lian Shurong and Yu Qingfeng also put away their confrontational posture and looked at Pei Wuyan together, wanting to gossip about how Pei Wuyan defined the relationship between him and Yu Qingfeng.
"That is - this maid who knows nothing about the world and has no self-awareness wants to rise to the top by seducing her master. As a master, I can't bear to be disturbed. If I didn't see that she is still useful, I would have kicked her out long ago."
Yu Qingfeng narrowed her eyes and glared at Pei Wuyan. The male protagonist actually hit the nail on the head. She was very sincere. He was very aware of his status as a stepping stone and saw through her ambitions and methods. He was indeed a master of tea appreciation.
As for whether Pei Wuyan really has no feelings for her at all and just regards her as a useful talent and a think tank to solve crimes?
Yu Qingfeng is very confident, Pei Wuyan must be following the same old tricks, talking what he means.
Routine is a fate that you cannot escape, and you are the proper tool. The more you dismiss me today, the more you will be obsessed with me in the future!
"Master Pei, what you said is wrong. I have a cold heart. I work so hard to be a good housekeeper. Why are you saying so badly?" Yu Qingfeng pretended to be aggrieved, waiting to see Pei Wuyan's disgust.
Pei Wuyan only gave her a superficial smile.
Lian Shurong wrapped his arms around his chest and looked back and forth between Pei Wuyan and Yu Qingfeng. He was about to speak and make a judgment about their relationship, but he didn't know if he remembered that Yu Qingfeng had just said that he was arbitrary and stupid, so he swallowed his words.
Lin Ming exhaled, his smile mixed with a bit of relief and a bit of bitterness.
"Okay, let's be serious." Yu Qingfeng didn't want to dwell on her relationship with Pei Wuyan and her childish quarrel with Lian Shurong. "I'm too lazy to write, so I'll just say it straight. I feel deeply about the case of the Jeju Beheaded Ghost Tomb."
interest."
While he was talking, Pei Wuyan had already shown what he had written: The Case of the Beheaded Ghost Tomb in Jeju.
Lin Ming also showed the black and white text in his hand: The Possession Case of Wong Tai Sin in Beijing.
Yu Qingfeng has directly agreed with Pei Wuyan verbally, and now it depends on Lian Shurong, who has also not written anything, how to choose.
Lian Shurong was a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment and was about to speak when Lin Ming coughed lightly.
"Okay, I'll choose the Wong Tai Sin possession case in Beijing." Lian Shurong was somewhat reluctant.
Yu Qingfeng raised her eyebrows and asked Pei Wuyan: "Two against two, what should we do?"
"What should I do? Of course I heard that the one with the highest official position here." Pei Wuyan smiled mischievously, then got up and walked out, saying, "It's a long journey, we'll set off tomorrow."
Lian Shurong threw the file in his hand on the table and shouted at Pei Wuyan's back: "What kind of vote do you think this is?"
Pei Wuyan pretended not to hear Lian Shurong's protest and left without stopping.
The remaining three looked at each other in confusion.
"Is this Pei Wuyan afraid that one of the three of us will like him?"
Yu Qingfeng muttered to herself, then looked back and forth between Lin Ming and Lian Shurong. Then she thought, even if Pei Wuyan was lovable, they wouldn't like an airborne officer who would prevent them from being promoted, right?
However, Pei Wuyan is the male protagonist. He not only has an aura of immortality, but also an aura of lovability. No matter how much these two hate him now, they will become close friends with him in the end.
Yu Qingfeng looked at Lin Ming, who looked sad, and Lian Shurong, who looked disdainful, and silently felt pity for these two poor little people who had been manipulated by tricks.
"Well, I originally thought I could stay in the capital and spend more time with my grandmother," Lin Ming sighed and shook his head, "She recently contracted a cold."
Lian Shurong suddenly realized and asked with concern: "That's why you want to stay. Is Mrs. Tai's condition okay?"
"Don't worry, it's just a common cold." Lin Ming turned to Yu Qingfeng, "By the way, everything is fine with Liang Xiaohua. Manager Xu in my house is taking good care of her."
Yu Qingfeng nodded happily, "When I get back from this trip, I'll go visit Mrs. Liang and also see Liang Xiaohua."
"Miss Yu is here, my family is in full bloom." Lin Ming rarely imitated Lian Shurong, exaggerating and joking.
"By the way, is Jeju far away? How many days does it take to travel?"
When she mentioned what happened after returning, Yu Qingfeng remembered the distance. Pei Wuyan seemed to have said "it's a long way" just now.
"You don't even know where Jeju is?" Lian Shurong opened his mouth exaggeratedly, and he began to suspect that Yu Qingfeng was illiterate again.
I'm careless. I've only been reading files these days to learn about official positions. I haven't looked at the map. Yu Qingfeng is really not familiar with this imaginary land.
"Then do you know where the beautiful country, the stick country, the Asan country, the devil country, and the fighting country are?" Yu Qingfeng took the risk, because Lian Shurong's face deserved a beating, and she couldn't really beat him.
"Ah? What?"
Lian Shurong was overwhelmed and seemed to have been shot by an invisible machine gun.
"illiteracy."
Yu Qingfeng made a unilateral decision: She won.
