"" News one after another came from the Donggang Town Governor's Office, and the entire Donggang Town suddenly fell into an atmosphere of joy.
Even many people who are very frugal on weekdays even cook broth and boil wine.
Congratulations to Mr. Xiaolin for his victory.
These ordinary townspeople have no idea how deep the water in this court is. They only know that the Holy Spirit is clear today, and that there are still far more good officials in the empire than those who are acting dishonestly.
However, not only was Lin Xi not reprimanded, but she was promoted to the town police station after being arrested for only a few days. As soon as the news came out, officials of all sizes in the towns along the Zijiang River were very clear-eyed.
The general's son will definitely be put to death because of him, and coupled with the fierce backlash against Jiang Rui's impeachment, this is the result. This can only show that Mr. Xiao Lin has such a strong backer...
It is undeniable that unless one is on a life-and-death battlefield at the border, unless one becomes a mountain that is difficult for others to move, in the Yun Qin court, one's backing is much more important than one's own ability.
As Lin Xi himself knows very well, he is still just a fish and cannot change the direction of a big river. And the backing is a mountain after all... If it hits the river, the splash will be compared to the splash caused by a fish.
I don't know how many times bigger it needs to be.
In addition, Lin Xi is not an ordinary warrior. Ever since the assassination case against him by the river, officials in several towns along the way have known that he is a practitioner, so it is best not to provoke such a person.
Don't dare to provoke him, this is the invisible majesty and prestige.
Only a few days after arriving in Donggang Town, Lin Xi had already risen to a higher level and made a mark in the registration and assessment of him by the official department. He had already established majesty and prestige among the local officials.
…
In an exquisite small courtyard, Wei Xianwu sat in front of a stone table in the courtyard, waiting quietly.
Suddenly, he raised his head sharply.
The person he was waiting for appeared.
The person who walked into his small courtyard was a middle-aged man with a rosy face and a very rich look. His sleeves were shiny. He looked like the owner of a barbecue shop. He was holding an ordinary food basket in his hand.
With some cut roast meat, bacon and other items.
Looking at Wei Xianwu who was staring at him, the rich middle-aged man squinted his eyes and smiled, walked a little faster, walked to Wei Xianwu in two steps, sat opposite him, and put the food in his hand.
The basket was pushed in front of Wei Xianwu.
Wei Xianwu's eyes turned to the food basket. He reached out and grabbed a piece of steaming roasted pork and chewed it carefully.
After he finished eating the oily and slightly sweet roasted pork, he slowly said: "You should already know that Shi San died on the river, right?"
"I heard." The rich middle-aged man still smiled kindly, and wiped his hands on his shiny sleeves as usual, and said: "I also heard that a new appointee in Donggang Town died.
In the hands of the arresters, you also know that the new arrester convicted Xu Chengfeng, but he was not defeated by you, but was promoted. "
Wei Xianwu glanced at this rich middle-aged man and said silently: "The person who helped him control the boat to catch up with Shi San was King Zhang Long."
His words seemed to have no cause and effect, and had nothing to do with the conversation at this time. However, this rich middle-aged man with greasy sleeves seemed to understand what he meant. He nodded apologetically and said, "I understand you."
I mean, it was my mistake back then. I shouldn't have fought with him on the river, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to jump into the river and escape... If he had died, or been seriously injured, he wouldn't have been able to catch up with Shi San, and Shi San wouldn't have died.
"
Wei Xianwu was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Originally, I wanted to work with you to avenge Shi San, but I'm afraid I don't have a chance and I have to rely on you alone."
The wealthy middle-aged man looked at Wei Xianwu, still smiling, and asked, "Why don't you have a chance?"
Wei Xianwu glanced at him and said: "Originally, my order of relegation should have arrived yesterday, but it has not arrived yet... This can only mean that some changes have been made."
The rich middle-aged man frowned slightly, but still smiled kindly, which made people unconsciously feel that his expression was a bit abnormal, as if there were two completely different people controlling his facial expressions.
He looked at Wei Xianwu, smiled, but there was a perverted and sinister look between his eyebrows, and asked: "Isn't it possible that he has changed for the better?"
"Impossible." Wei Xianwu shook his head seriously and said coldly, "Since I have made the change deliberately, it means that I have been alert to it. You also know that Li Xiping has always been flawless in handling these things, so even if I take off my official clothes now,
If I just go to Donggang Town, there is no chance. Based on what I know about him, he will probably let me go back to the border army and send someone to watch me all the way."
"It's really not peaceful in Longshen Mountain now. I heard that Li Xiping's old friend Zhang Zhendong died there. It's not easy to stay alive... If you want to come back for revenge, you really don't have much chance." The rich middle-aged man sighed in admiration.
He said, "It seems that the new arrester is not easy to deal with."
Wei Xianwu didn't say anything for a while, he just picked up a few more pieces of bacon and ate them carefully.
The rich middle-aged man wiped his hands on his sleeves habitually, without any sign of impatience, and still smiled warmly.
"An Yifu, you have always been the best among our group, before you became a disciple, after you became a disciple, and also in the border army... Even when it comes to making barbecue, you can do it better than those shop owners who have inherited the craftsmanship from their ancestors.
." After Wei Xianwu slowly finished the bacon, he was silent for a moment, then raised his head, looked at the rich middle-aged man and said: "I know how good you are, and I know that you have no problem dealing with him, but I am worried about your temper.
.If you can't kill him, it will be even harder for me to kill him in the future..."
"We are so familiar."
The rich middle-aged man smiled and interrupted Wei Xianwu directly, "You know me and I know you, so I understand what you mean, but I'm sorry, I can't agree to your 'request'."
Wei Xianwu raised his brows, and there was some anger and coldness in his eyes, but before he could say anything, the rich middle-aged man shook his head, and a coldness appeared on his face, but his smile remained unchanged: "This time
It’s not because I am a cat-and-mouse person who likes to slowly toy with my opponent, see my opponent’s despair and take advantage of my opponent’s habit of practicing. It’s because of Shi San.”
"Don't forget that Shi San is your brother, but he also grew up with me." The rich middle-aged man's voice became heavier and his eyes narrowed again, "If it were you who died, I would never
It will make the new arrester die so happily."
Wei Xianwu took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and fell into silence for a while. It was obvious that he knew this wealthy middle-aged man named An Yifu very well, and knew that since the other party flatly rejected him from the beginning, he had nothing to say.
significance.
"Of course I will be more careful. I have been very bored these years and want to play very much. But as I get older, of course I know how to restrain myself and don't want to kill myself all at once." An Yifu chuckled again, habitually.
Wiping his sleeves, he said: "And don't you think that slowly dying is not safer than direct assassination? Such a big case just happened, and the arrest has just been promoted to the town police station. If I immediately
His assassination sent shockwaves through the government and the public, but it’s not that easy for me to escape.”
Wei Xianwu finally nodded and stood up. Without saying anything, he just bowed deeply to An Yi Mansion.
An Yifu said no more, didn't mention the basket, turned around with a smile on his face, and walked out of the small courtyard.
…
"Lin Xi."
As the sun set, Lin Xi had just walked out of the Lingdu Mansion when he heard a familiar voice calling him.
As soon as he turned his head, a surprised smile immediately broke out on his face, "Jiang Xiaoyi, why are you here?"
Behind him, at the entrance of the street to the left, stood a young man wearing yellow clothes and carrying a package. He had a happy smile on his face. It was Jiang Xiaoyi.
"When you just take office, you don't always have a few days off to buy some things and settle down in life." Jiang Xiaoyi looked at Lin Xi who walked up to him, made a gesture of admiration, and said: "I heard that you are broken here.
It's a big case, but I'm afraid there will be some trouble, so I asked for leave to come and see you. I didn't expect you to be so powerful. When I first arrived, I heard that you had been promoted to one level. Now I am one level lower than you.
I really want to call you Mr. Lin."
Lin Xi looked at Jiang Xiaoyi and said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that you came here. I just thought of you before. I really miss Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be here."
Jiang Xiaoyi was slightly startled, "Who is Cao Cao...?"
"This..." Lin Xi suddenly smiled awkwardly, knowing that he had said something nonsense again in the excitement, "This is an old saying in our Lulin Town, which means that whoever you mention will arrive just in time. Cao Cao is probably an ancient man."
"What you say in Lulin Town is really interesting. What do you think of me?" Jiang Xiaoyi said with a smile.
Just as Lin X was about to say something, he heard a burst of thunder. He subconsciously raised the green umbrella in his hand and looked at the sky, wondering if it was going to rain again? But when he looked up, he saw that the weather was fine.
, but the thunder still sounded, and Lin Xi finally woke up. This was the sound coming from Jiang Xiaoyi's stomach.
"Didn't you eat anything on the way?" Lin Xi came to his senses and looked at Jiang Xiaoyi, whose face was slightly red. She suddenly thought of something and said with a bright smile: "Go back to where I live first. I happen to have something good.
we'll talk about it then."
Jiang Xiaoyi was stunned: "Do you have something good?"
Lin Xi nodded, but couldn't help but tease: "Jiang Xiaoyi, even if you leave the academy, you should develop a habit, just like Meng Bai, bring more food with you on the way, why will your stomach growl with hunger?"
"I also have some good stuff, so I thought I'd eat it with you." Jiang Xiaoyi's interest greatly increased and she couldn't help but curiously asked: "What do you mean by the good stuff?"
