Chapter 88 The plot of the original novel cannot escape
County Government. Magistrate Qin looked at the case in his hand and exclaimed: "Good calligraphy!"
Lu Yi on the opposite side was full of joy and anger: "Thank you, sir."
"Sure enough, I did not misjudge the person. In just a few days, you have sorted out the cases from the past few years. I suddenly feel that assigning you such a simple position is a bit unfair. Why don't you take charge of the Criminal Department?
Interrogation documents?" Magistrate Qin looked at Lu Yi in front of him with admiration.
Lu Yi hesitated: "Yes."
"Lu Yi, do your best. Although you can't get any honors now, you don't have to take the top prize to get ahead. The imperial court will never bury any talented person."
Lu Yi cupped his hands and said, "I resign."
The magistrate of Qin County looked at Lu Yi and sighed: "What a talent! It's a pity that he is disfigured. The court officials cannot be disfigured. Otherwise, if they support him with a sum of money to obtain fame, he might even be able to make a good friend."
edge."
"Sir." The master said from the side: "I am just doing some copying work. Anyone who can read can do it. Why do you admire this Lu Yi so much?"
"You will know after you take a look." Magistrate Qin handed the case in his hands to the master.
When the master opened it, his eyes were full of surprise.
"This Lu Yi, when he was asked to copy the case records, he actually highlighted the unsolved cases and found out the doubtful points from the testimonies of the plaintiffs, defendants and witnesses. He is a strange person."
Lu Yi changed departments as ordered by Qin County Magistrate, and he smelled the smell of blood as soon as he entered the prison.
"Haha... Secretary Lu, you scholars have never seen this kind of scene, have you? Don't be afraid, you will get used to it after a few times." Prison Head Chen said with a smile: "The person who is going to be interrogated today has a very tough mouth, and he keeps talking.
He hasn't opened his mouth for a few days, so you may not be able to write anything. Just think of it as a way to get used to it, don't be nervous."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A prison warden whipped the young man hanging there with a whip.
The young man groaned, taking in more air than out. Blood dripped from the wound, leaving a pool of blood on the ground.
"No, Brother Chen, this guy still won't speak."
"Can I see his case report?" Lu Yi asked.
"Of course, Secretary Lu, just watch." Chen Yutou said: "The clerk who recorded the records before happened to be ill, so I will leave this case to you."
Lu Yi looked through the contents of the case. Time passed little by little, and in the quiet prison there was only the sound of dripping blood.
Several prison chiefs became impatient and walked to a nearby table to sit down and take a nap.
Originally, there weren't many serious cases in their county office. They were used to being idle on weekdays, and they were really not used to handling cases for a long time. This guy really delayed them a lot of time, made them angry, and started fighting even more harshly.
.
"Let him go! He is not a murderer." Lu Yi closed the case. "I'll take it back and sort it out."
"What?" Chen Yutou woke up from his dazed state. "What is not the murderer? He is not the murderer? All the evidence points to him."
"I will tell the county magistrate that you should watch this man first and don't beat him again. Well, if you don't want him to die, you'd better ask a doctor to take a look. Otherwise..."
Lu Yi glanced at the young man hanging there, turned around and left.
"Brother Chen, who is this person? We have been interrogating him for half a month, and if he says he is not the murderer, he is not the murderer?"
Chen Yutou said with a headache: "Let's watch it first! If Lord Qin gives the order, he must be released. But if we beat him like this... how can we deal with him?"
"We did nothing wrong."
"It's not wrong, but you can't kill someone if you're not a murderer. Oh, no matter what, let's find a doctor first. Then his family will pay for it. Isn't his family passed down from three generations? It seems to be quite rich.
"
The doctor has just been invited here, and Master Qin's order has been issued over there.
When Lu Yi came out of the county government office, several people came towards him.
"Lu Ziyi, why are you here?" Qian Zhongyun said and glanced at Fang Zhuoyu, who had a complicated expression next to him.
Lu Yi said calmly: "Is something wrong?"
"We are classmates. It's rare to see us here. Why don't we go have a drink together? My treat." Fang Zhuoyu said calmly.
"No, I'm going home." Lu Yi said as he was about to leave, but was stopped by Tang Mingcong.
He looked at Tang Mingcong sharply.
Tang Mingcong was frightened by his eyes and turned sideways.
"Brother Ziyi, isn't it too arrogant to not give our brother Chu face?"
"Are we familiar with each other?" Lu Yi said calmly: "If there is nothing important, don't block my way."
"Brother Ziyi works in the Yamen?" Fang Zhuoyu recognized the clothes he was wearing.
Lu Yi was too lazy to pay attention to him and walked past him.
"Brother Chu, look at his arrogance, he is no different from before. Does he still think he is the most talented Lu Ziyi in Qingshan Academy?"
"Ask what he is doing at the Yamen."
"It's simple. My cousin is a yamen servant." Qian Zhongyun said, "I'll go and ask him right away."
Crash, clatter, clatter, clatter! The familiar sound of carpentry came from the yard in front.
Lu Yi quickened his pace, opened the door and looked at Mu Siyu, who was looking serious, and relaxed.
Mu Siyu seemed to notice something and looked up: "I'm back! I'm just waiting for you to start dinner."
"Actually, you don't have to wait for me." Lu Yi closed the door and said, "You can eat first."
"Isn't there a fixed time for your yamen to get off work? As long as you don't go out to socialize, it's time to come back at this time, which is similar to our usual meal time. If you don't come back at this time, knowing that you have social activities, then we will definitely not wait.
Already."
During the meal, Lu Yi talked about his change of department.
Phew! A mouthful of soup spurted out.
Everyone present: "..."
Lu Xuan looked at Mu Siyu with disgust: "Aren't you disgusting? Such a big person still spits out."
Mu Siyu apologized: "I'm sorry, it's a bit hot. I didn't pay attention and drank too much."
Lu Yi handed her the handkerchief.
Mu Siyu took it and said, "Thank you. I'll wash it and return it to you."
"You can keep it! I still have it."
"If you were in the current department, wouldn't it be as easy as before?" Mu Siyu put away her handkerchief.
"Yes, but the wages should be higher. Although it is the same on the surface, if there is a case that requires the clerk to investigate, there will be a separate travel fee."
"Then you must be careful and don't be eager for quick success. We can just earn some wages. Don't be greedy if it's not ours."
"What are you talking about? It seems as if my brother is a high-ranking official and may be corrupted at any time." Lu Xuan was disgusted. "Do you women think that being an official in a government office gives you a lot of rights?"
"Aren't I worried? I am in charge of the criminal department, that is, investigating cases, and there are many dangers. Your brother is a weak scholar, what if he suffers a loss? Our family is still counting on him!" Mu Siyu's cheeks turned red.
"My brother, a weak scholar, has been hunting for several years. All the things we have eaten and drank these years have been obtained by my brother from hunting. What are you worried about?" Lu Xuan felt that she was unfounded.
Lu Yi looked at her eyes, as if he had noticed something. Those eyes were like searchlights, the light was particularly strong.
Mu Siyu didn't dare to say anything more, as any more words would be wrong. However, Lu Yi's life trajectory matched the original work, and the road ahead... it didn't work, it didn't work, she had to find a way to break this deadlock.
