Lu Yi came out of the record room and returned to his seat.
Just when he was about to continue writing the case report, he saw from the corner of his eye that the place where he put things was empty, and he looked sideways.
"Where are my things?"
"What?" Wen Wensong came back just in time and sat across from him.
"I just put something here, but now it's gone." Lu Yi said, "Who has come in?"
"I just came back, so I don't know!" Wen Wensong asked the others, "Have you seen Secretary Lu's things?"
Several other scribes said they were not here just now.
Tang Sanyu said nothing.
Lu Yi looked at Tang Sanyu sharply.
Tang Sanyu didn't want to talk to him. Looking at his expression, he knew he was doubting himself, and said impatiently: "What do you want me to do? I didn't take it."
"You know who took it!" Lu Yi said.
This is a determined tone.
Tang Sanyu didn't want to pay attention at first, but when he thought of something, malice flashed in his eyes, and he said sarcastically: "Mrs. Chen came to see you. As for whether she took anything, I don't know. I also went out at that time."
The way everyone looked at Lu Yi changed.
Widow Chen always comes to Lu Yi recently, and they all see it. Originally, this is his private matter and has nothing to do with anyone else, but she is Chen Xiancheng's sister. If Lu Yi hugs her, she will be very interested in the promotion.
favorable.
There are more than a hundred scribes in the six departments of the county government, not counting those who are not established. Everyone works diligently, but Lu Yi went to the wrong side. How can he not make people jealous?
Chen Xiancheng was processing official documents when he stretched out a hand. He looked up and saw his troublesome sister, and his brain suddenly ached.
"I don't have any money to spend, brother." Chen Chunyu said coquettishly: "Give me some money!"
"Didn't your sister-in-law just give it to you?"
"How much is that? What can you do with one tael of silver?" Chen Chunyu said displeased: "Sister-in-law is very stingy. Brother, please give me more, I know you have private money."
"I think about getting money all day long, but I don't know how to live an honest life." Chen Xiancheng was dissatisfied, but still took out his money bag.
Chen Chunyu grabbed it and said with a smile: "I am just living a good life now! I am so young, is it possible that you really want me to stay a widow for the rest of my life? I don't want it!"
"Speaking of this, why did I hear that you had anything to do with Secretary Lu? Secretary Lu has a wife and children. Don't be a fool."
"So what if he has a wife and children? He didn't marry that woman willingly. The woman plotted against him and drugged him, so he had to marry. But I heard that their relationship has been very inconsistent for so many years.
."
Chen Xiancheng frowned: "What basis do you have?"
"The clothes on my body are the basis!" Chen Chunyu turned in a circle: "Doesn't it look good? Lu Yi gave it to me."
"Lu Yi gave it to you?" Chen Xiancheng wondered.
Although he had no contact with that Lu Yi, judging from how calm he was in doing things, the county magistrate also valued him very much, and he didn't seem to be such a frivolous person.
"That's right." Chen Chunyu said: "It looks good! So, brother, we are in love. That woman is just a decoration. Why can't you let your sister pursue true love?"
Chen Xiancheng couldn't find the words to refute for a while.
His parents died early, and he raised this sister with his own hands, and his affection was extraordinary. Because of this, he was particularly indulgent towards her.
"I've met the County Magistrate." Lu Yi walked in and cupped his hands towards Chen County Magistrate. His eyes stayed on Chen Chunyu, with displeasure flashing in his eyes.
Chen Xiancheng saw Lu Yi and looked at him. Seeing that he kept staring at his sister, he believed a little of his sister's words.
Are they really in love?
If that's the case, it's not impossible.
"Is there something wrong with Secretary Lu?"
"Yes, my subordinate has something to do with Mrs. Chen." After Lu Yi finished speaking, he asked Chen Chunyu in front of Chen Xiancheng: "Mrs. Chen, did you get the clothes you are wearing from me?"
Chen Chunyu's eyes flashed with guilt.
Chen County Cheng frowned: "What do you mean? Didn't you give it to her?"
"County Magistrate, I have a wife and children. How can I send something like a woman's clothes away?" Lu Yi said, "I bought these clothes for my wife. I went back after doing errands and found that they were missing, so I asked.
Only a few people knew that Mrs. Chen had entered our house. No, I wanted to ask Mrs. Chen if her clothes were stained, so she wore my wife's clothes."
"Did you buy this dress for that village girl?" Chen Chunyu glared at Lu Yi. "Why? How can she deserve such beautiful clothes?"
"Please be careful, Mrs. Chen. Although my wife is a village girl, she is worthy of any beautiful clothes." Lu Yi said seriously: "In front of Chen County Cheng, my subordinates also explained that they already have
Wife and children, please stop pestering Mrs. Chen, it will be bad for everyone's reputation."
"I don't..."
"Chen Chunyu!!" Chen County Cheng was angry.
Chen Chunyu heard her brother's angry voice and quickly shut up.
Over the years, her brother has raised her as both father and mother. Although he usually indulges her, once he gets angry, he will not let her go easily.
"This girl has caused trouble for you." Chen County Cheng said calmly: "Don't worry, I will return the clothes to you."
"No need." Lu Yi said: "Mrs. Chen wore this dress and it was difficult for my wife to wear it again, so she treated it as a subordinate and sold it to the county magistrate."
It said it was a sale without mentioning the money, but it actually meant it was a gift.
It's just that it's not given to Mrs. Chen, but to Chen County Cheng, which is different.
"What more money can I give you?" Chen County Cheng said coldly: "Chen Chunyu, give me the money bag."
"elder brother……"
"Give me!"
Chen Chunyu unhappily handed over the money bag.
Chen Xiancheng took out two pieces of broken silver and threw it on the table: "Keep it!"
Lu Yi offered his hand and took a piece of broken silver: "This dress is only worth one tael of silver. If the county magistrate has no other instructions, I will leave."
"Let's go!" Chen County Cheng didn't want to see him for a moment.
Although it was his sister who was rude, it still made him unhappy to see his sister being rejected like this.
Lu Yi went out. From behind, he heard the voice of Chen Chunyu acting coquettishly towards Chen Xiancheng. Chen Xiancheng scolded her and said she was not allowed to see him again. He raised his eyebrows and thought to himself: If only this was the case!
"How's it going? Secretary Lu." Wen Wensong came over.
"Mrs. Chen's dress was dirty. When County Magistrate Chen learned that I had bought a new set here, he sent someone to take away the urgent need. He asked me to buy it just now," Lu Yi said.
"That's okay." Wen Wensong said, "As long as it's not lost."
"It's okay if it's lost, but I'm afraid..." Tang Sanyu said in a strange tone: "Secretary Lu is very clever! He has a lovely wife at home, and a beauty here. He is really proud of our Secretary of the Ministry of Justice!"
"Scribe Tang likes to talk so much, why not go to the execution room and say it in the prison?" Lu Yi said calmly: "We just arrested a big thief, and we are in need of someone as eloquent as Scribe Tang to interrogate him."
