Chapter 31 Fighting in Lingling

When Chi Shi arrived in Yao's yard, Mother Wang had already put the table on her face.

Perilla fried eel, sweet and sour fish, bacon elbow stewed with oil tofu, stir-fry with mixed vegetables, steamed lotus root... Yao's family is not falsified, but only asks people to pick up the dishes they like, and spread the table.

Chi Shi sniffed, lifted his robe, and as soon as he sat down, he saw two pairs of chopsticks picking up dishes into her bowl.

"Brother, my mother, I gave birth to it. When did I treat myself badly?"

She said, and picked up a piece of sweet and sour fish for Chi Ying and a lotus root for Yao.

Since Chi Ying passed the imperial examination, she went to Yongzhou City to study. Originally, Chi Zhu had no official position or had no livelihood, so she wanted to move her family to Yongzhou City and live closer to her parents' home.

But Old Mrs. Chi refused and held them to serve her.

The last time the family had a meal together was the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Yao thought, and her whole body became soft, "No, Ying'er still remembers that year, your second uncle broke his leg and your grandfather was so angry that he had to lock Shi'er in the study and ask her to copy scriptures and pray for blessings..."

When Chi Ying heard this, she burst into laughter, "Of course I remember, but Xiaojiu didn't write a word, but she ate half of her grandfather's old ginseng. At that time, my grandfather was so anxious that she was almost going to suck her throat!

Xiaojiu said immediately…”

Chi Ying said, her face turned out to be stern. She was impressed by Chi Shi’s words, and her tone was not fluctuating. "Grandfather wants to bring a chamber pot and I will give it to you!"

As he said that, he looked at Yao and laughed haha.

Chi Shi was quite speechless. It was all about Chen Zhimao and Rotten Millet many years ago. Fortunately, they still remember that when they were together every year, they had to say it, and they smiled as if they were the first time they heard about it.

"My grandfather started sending people over and said he would call his fourth brother back to serve me and ask me to go to Lingling to do coroner."

Yao was stunned, "What's going on? Lingling is next to the prefecture, which is much more prosperous than Youhai. If any major case was handled, the prefect would see it. Chi Mian didn't know who he had taken, so he got this good job. Before he took office, he asked Chi Si of the second wife to snatch it away."

Mr. Chi is partial to the second wife and is used to dislike Chi Shi's temper. It makes no sense. He takes her under his nose and makes him angry.

Chi Ying frowned, as if she had thought of something, and suddenly realized.

He lowered his voice, leaned closer to Chi Shi, and explained: "It turns out that Lingling's affairs were not groundless. My classmate Xue Yi is from Lingling. He returned from visiting relatives a few days ago. He said something strange happened recently in Lingling."

Chi Shi heard this and his eyes lit up, "What strange thing? But someone died?"

Chi Ying nodded, "It is said that in just one month, six people died of life. Lingling is on the edge of the prefecture, and the state army guards it, which has always been very peaceful."

"The coroner there is surnamed Zhao, who is nearly 60 years old and has been in the county government for more than 30 years. Nothing happens around the country. The county magistrates have always given him a very decent attitude and have agreed that he is going to live his life in office."

"But half a month ago, Zhao Luzuo suddenly fell ill. I'm afraid that it wasn't because of this that Chi Mian sought someone to make up for the vacancies."

Chi Shi frowned, "Six people died in a month. Youhai didn't hear any wind in such a big thing."

When Chi Ying saw him stopping his chopsticks, he brought another bowl of hot soup, and scooped him a bowl of hot soup, "It's cold now. You spend the night in the ancestral hall. Although you have mattresses, it is easy to get cold. Drink more soup. The case is there, and you can't run away."

There was a lot of ginger in this soup, and it was obvious that Yao had specially advised him.

Chi Shi frowned, sucked his nose, and took a sip. It was spicy and hot.

Seeing that she was well-behaved, Chi Ying couldn't help but reach out and gently patted her little head.

"Not to mention Youhai, no one even in Yongzhou City was talking about it. Xue Yi told me at that time that he was just a gossip, and no one took it seriously. He only said that the evil ghosts had recently gotten married and came to Lingling to borrow a road and caught six people to carry a sedan chair to welcome the bride."

"At that time, people around him were joking, saying that this ghost was so fierce that he had to carry a sedan chair at all," Chi Ying said, his eyes moved, "It seems that someone deliberately hid the news."

When the official third-year major exam is officially held this year, if officials have good performance, they will have a chance of promotion. At this moment, the local government is very cautious in everything they do. However, not everyone, like Chi Shi, rolled up their sleeves and went straight to each other.

"After Zhao Junzuo escaped at the last minute, he looked for Chi Mianlai, but he didn't want his grandfather and his second uncle to know about it. He thought it was a god-given opportunity, so he pushed Chi Shilang over and wanted to make him a big splash."

Chi Ying speculated that she became more and more sure.

Chi Ting is the magistrate of Yongzhou, and Chi Silang Chi Huo is his relative's son. He has been with Mr. Chi since he was a child and has studied coronership. His qualifications are pretty good, and he was also quite famous before.

After Chi Shi finished drinking a bowl of soup, sweat broke out on her forehead. She took out a handkerchief and wiped it. "It's not that diamond diamond, what kind of porcelain work is taken. It seems that the more you eat, the more you can see it."

Chi Ying gave Chi Shi an admiring look, "Xiao Jiu is right!"

Yao, who was beside him, sighed speechlessly, "What a shame!"

My son, this makes people want to beat you up after hearing it. Can you say a few less words?

She thought, feeling a little sad. Chi Ying came back this time and went to Beijing to take the exam. Chi Shi was going to Lingling again; Chi Zhu... Forget it, it would be better if he didn't mention that dead person...

She is the only one left in this yard.

Seeing her loss, Chi Ying smiled and took out a jade bracelet from her sleeve bag, "My grandma, it's rare to meet the good ones in the water. I'll buy it for you. Brother Yan is about to get engaged. Grandma wants to go to Beijing, so she will definitely ask you to go with you."

"Xiao Jiu is straight-minded and is prone to trouble, but she is skilled and not afraid of trouble. Besides, her grandfather should be more handsome and scold Xiao Jiu at home. If something happens outside, she will be on her surname Chi and will not ignore her."

"What's more, Mr. Peiming is still in Yongzhou."

After hearing this, Chi Shi realized that Yao was worried about her.

She thought, rolled up her sleeves and revealed a thin layer of muscles, and said expressionlessly, "My mother, don't worry, I can beat eight of them alone, who doesn't have eyes, dare to mess with me?"

Yao was both angry and funny.

It’s because you can beat eight of them one by one, I’m afraid that you will accidentally beat others to death and cause trouble.

Chi Shi seemed to have seen through Yao's thoughts and comforted him:

"My mother forgot, what am I doing? Am I a coroner? I can stab someone forty-nine times. I guarantee that there is no one on the vital point. He is in pain, but he can't die even if he wants to die. He won't cause any death!"

Yao was speechless.
