Chapter 413 The grass on the wall falls with the wind
After Mu Qianyu returned to the backyard, Wei Zhong in the hall sighed slightly and said, "Lao Lu, it seems that we may not be able to find a way to survive under this master."
When Lu Yijiang heard this, he took two steps back and said with a smile: "Xiaoguan has always been cautious. No one in the family has committed any crime. As long as I follow you wholeheartedly, I don't think you will care about the past."
Wei Zhong knew at a glance that this wallflower had completely changed sides, so he nodded and said, "Then I wish Mr. Lu a bright future."
"Master Wei, there is no need to worry too early. Although your nephews and nephews may have some cases, maybe no one will report them." Lu Yijiang said seemingly kindly.
Wei Zhong felt even worse after being reminded of this, and said with a cold face: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your comfort. I'm back too."
"Farewell, Mr. Wei." Lu Yijiang saluted with his hands raised, and his eyes were full of smiles when he raised his head.
If things continue like this, Wei Zhong will inevitably be punished, and he will naturally become the next Tongzhi. This can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
On this day, Mu Qianyu took Li Dacai into custody and returned justice to Niu Er and the Liu family. The news spread quickly in the Anping Mansion. An official who could not be bribed with a huge amount of 150,000 spiritual stones must be an honest official that is hard to find in the world.
In order to celebrate this long-lost justice, the people of Anping Prefecture spontaneously hung up red lanterns, had a meal with the best grains at home, and some even set off firecrackers.
At night, Mu Qianyu squatted on the roof of the government office with a big bowl in his hand, and saw dots of red lanterns lighting up in the city. The sound of firecrackers that went off from time to time made people feel good.
It turns out that it is not difficult to be a good official. She was grinning while eating.
The red figure landed next to her unknowingly, and sat there without saying a word.
Mu Qianyu turned to glance at Di Yin and said, "Why are you here too?"
"Stay with you." Di Yin said calmly.
"The child is quite heartwarming. Come and touch his head." Mu Qianyu said, reaching out and touching the meticulously combed black hair on his forehead.
This movement was just like when he was a little fox.
Di Yin let her touch him, but corrected her: "I'm not a child, I'm hundreds of years old."
"You don't look like a person who is hundreds of years old. You are obviously an ignorant child." Mu Qianyu smiled and shook his head. In her eyes, even if Di Yin turned into a human form, he was no different from a little fox. They were both cute and cute.
Di Yin didn't argue with her, he just said: "The food is cold, you eat it."
Mu Qianyu lowered his head and took a big mouthful of rice. Di Yin sat silently beside her. The two of them sat on the snow-covered roof. They didn't say a word for a long time, but the atmosphere was inexplicably harmonious.
Mu Qianyu was still very satisfied that day. He not only punished the bully and collected money, but also established his character as an upright official. He made a lot of money!
But she couldn't bear it the next day, because she was beaten right after dawn, so she got up early in the morning to review the case so as not to ruin her character.
The cases were not very difficult, and she was familiar with them. She could judge the established facts on the spot and send people to investigate without evidence.
During this period, we received more than ten cases a day, most of which were lawsuits against bullies, and a few were conflicts between neighbors.
There was also an accusation that a meritorious official had forced someone to die. Because the evidence was conclusive, the meritorious officer was dismissed from his post and imprisoned in court, waiting for the culpability to be ascertained before submitting it to the Ministry of Punishment for review and approval.
All homicide cases still have to go through the Ministry of Justice. Although she is a parent official, she does not have that much power.
Mu Qianyu was rarely so busy. On this day, the people were even more convinced that she was a good official who could deliver justice. They rushed to tell each other, and cases that had been filed for many years were brought out.
Although clearing out the dark corners of Anping Mansion was Mu Qianyu's initial goal, she never thought she would be so tired. At the end of the day, she felt like her mind could no longer move and she just wanted to lie down.
As a practitioner, and one with a very strong constitution, physical fatigue is not obvious, but mental fatigue is inevitable.
"Miss, let's take a day off tomorrow." Lan'er handed over the tea and said with great distress.
Mu Qianyu shook his head: "I think so too, but if I rest for only one day, I'm afraid someone will stab me in the spine."
"Hey, why is it so difficult to be an official? I should have known I wouldn't be an official." Lan'er squeezed her shoulders.
Mu Qianyu rubbed the center of his brows and said, "But there is no way to go on like this. Even if you lose a big rooster, you will come to me. Even if I have a clone, I won't be able to do it."
"Then you can ask the people under you to help. I think the Yamen and Mr. Lu are good."
Mu Qianyu shook his head again: "They are not completely clean and cannot be used. If they show favoritism, they will be in trouble."
"What should we do?"
"Find someone yourself." Mu Qianyu said to Lan'er: "Lan'er, ask Jiao'er to invite Mr. Li to my room."
So the next day, Mu Qianyu sent for two well-known scholars. One was a stubborn private school teacher in his fifties, named Qian Shujie.
There is also a young man in his early thirties, upright and poor, named Zheng Danqing.
These two people have high prestige in the hearts of the people, and they usually are not close to the government, but this time they came happily when they heard Mu Qianyu's invitation, and they also wanted to contribute to the people.
In this way, Mu Qianyu relied on his reputation to have two masters. These two men were responsible for screening the complaints of grievances and mediating simple similar disputes.
Only more serious and complicated cases would come to Mu Qianyu, which saved her a lot of time. Although there were many big cases, they probably wouldn't last long.
People who were once domineering in Anping Prefecture did not dare to go out now, for fear of being spotted by some common people and dragged to the Yamen to complain.
Normally at times like this, some unscrupulous people would take the opportunity to complain. Mu Qianyu had already received two groups of scoundrels who came to sue conscientious businessmen just for blackmail, so he beat out the scoundrels without exception.
This big move lasted for four or five days before the people's mentality became more peaceful. Both the poor and the rich felt confident as long as they had not done anything evil.
During this period, in addition to handling cases, Mu Qianyu also met with Mo Feng, the head of Heifeng Village, who brought more than 300 bandits to the government office to surrender.
More than 300 people were all bandits who maliciously disturbed the people and harmed innocent people. They should all be sentenced to severe punishment.
Master Qian is working with Lu Yijiang to convict these people. It will take more than ten days to complete this matter.
"Master Futai, what will the remaining brothers do in the future?" Mo Feng stood in the hall and asked in a respectful tone.
When Mu Qianyu heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "Don't worry, it must be of great use for me to put in so much effort to recruit you. You go back and get everyone ready. I'll finish my work here in two days and go there in person."
"Yes." Mo Feng's eyes were shining with hope. It seemed that Black Wind Village would be able to show off its talents from now on. Just thinking about the future prospects made him extremely excited.
