Crossing the Ming Dynasty to be the magistrate

After the celebration was over, everyone started to go about their business.

Naturally, Wen Yu, Xu Jing and the others were doing what they were supposed to do, but Zong Yipeng was doing nothing all day long.However, he is quite satisfied with such a life, eating and drinking all day long.

Recently, he came to the county magistrate's mansion for dinner again. Wen Yu looked at him helplessly: "My lord, why don't you just move in so we don't have to go back and forth." You came here more frequently than my Ji Qing...

Zong Yiyi swallowed the food in his mouth with great difficulty: "It's still not possible. I don't feel comfortable living in the government house. This is very good, and I think it's quite convenient."

We are inconvenient, Wen Yu thought gloomily, they used to eat together as a family at night, but now that there is a foreigner, it is inconvenient for Wen Yulan to show up.Zong Yiyi pretended not to see his mournful expression: "And you asked me to protect your family. I often go to and from the government in this outfit. You see, the gangsters of the White Lotus Sect really shrank their heads like quails."

Speaking of this, Wen Yu became depressed for a while: "Are you sure there will really be people from the White Lotus Sect? I recently searched the whole city in the name of the household registration census, and there is no suspicious person at all."

Zong Yiyi stretched out his index finger and shook it, and said seriously: "Master Wen, you think too simply, you let the White Lotus Sect suffer so much, if they don't take action, how can they fool the foolish people, maybe now they It's lurking next to you!"

Wen Yu: "..." Although what you said is very serious, can you stop staring at the twice-cooked pork on the dinner table with covetous eyes, it doesn't seem convincing at all, brother!

But no matter what, Zong Yipeng's words still had some truth. In order to ensure the safety of the whole family, Wen Yu could only continue to endure his crap.

A few days later, Wen Yu was working as usual, and suddenly received news that the imperial court had sent someone to Mengyang, asking Wen Yu to hurry up to receive the order.Wen Yu looked confused, and in the end it was Yang Xing who reminded him to tidy up his clothes to see if there were any omissions.

When Wen Yu walked to the front hall, he saw an old man dressed as a servant standing in the center. Because at this time, "seeing the edict is like seeing the king", ordinary people are not qualified to listen to the imperial edict. Wen Yu respectfully knelt down to accept the order. He secretly Observing that the texture of the handle of the imperial decree is black horns, it proved that this is exactly the order for the petty official, and his heart couldn't help but pick up.

It turned out to be a happy event. Emperor Chenghua specially named him a sixth-rank county magistrate, rewarded him for his contribution to organizing disaster relief, and offered those few crops.Wen Yu's head was full of question marks, what the hell is the sixth grade magistrate?Why is there such an operation?

Wen Yu stood up, looked at the servant who announced the decree, took out a large ingot of silver from his arms, stuffed it into his hand, and asked, "I don't know your name? I'm really at a loss now, so I can only ask you Give some pointers."

The waiter smiled and said: "Master Wen is serious. Cheng Xun is also a native of Mengyang. Originally, this job belongs to the Ministry of Rites, but because I am coming back to take care of the elderly this time, the emperor sent me to pass the decree. But leave it to me." The Ministry of Etiquette is not easy to handle, you are neither a transfer nor a demote, they have no way to start, so let me come here, and I would like to say congratulations to you, the sixth-rank magistrate is rare, which shows that your credit is in the eyes of the emperor , in the future, my lord's great success is just around the corner."

Wen Yu smiled wryly, what is this? If Emperor Chenghua really appreciates him, or else he will stand still and accumulate seniority, or he will be directly promoted or recalled to the capital. Now that such a nondescript thing is of no use except to attract firepower.

How did he know that this was the result of the game between the various forces in the DPRK and China.After Lin Jun and Lin Jun were released, the more Qingliu thought about it, the angrier they became.After some investigation, they noticed the sweet potato and pumpkin, and they also guessed why Wantong and others didn't let these things show their faces.Although they had stated before that they would not disagree with the other party on this matter, they couldn't let it go anyway. After thinking about it, they pushed Wen Yu to the table.

However, Wen Yu's achievements in Mengyang are indeed very impressive, so Shangshu suggested that Wen Yu be promoted or transferred to the capital. In this way, he will show his face in front of the emperor sooner or later, and Wantong will hide it. suspected.After fighting each other for so many years, Wantong and others certainly knew what they were thinking, so they strongly opposed Wen Yu on the grounds that Wen Yu was only a graduate student, his qualifications were too short, and there were even a lot of short-term appointments.

Emperor Chenghua was quarreling with them all day long, he really couldn't figure out that a county magistrate the size of a sesame seed was worth such a discussion.In the end, they could only make peace with each other and give Wen Yu a sixth rank. Although it was absurd, it was not without precedent, and this matter was temporarily stopped.

Now that things have come to this point, I can't think of anything, at least I have increased my salary, so Wen Yu doesn't care about that much.This time Cheng Xun came to Mengyang to provide for the elderly, naturally after some careful consideration.Although I heard that County Magistrate Wen is an upright official, but now he is in the eyes of the higher-ups. It is inevitable that he will leave Mengyang in two years. The development here is so good. If he settles here, won't he be able to make a lot of money by then? Bowl full.Cheng Xun's abacus was crackling, but Wen Yu had already started to guard against him.

After all, there is Zong Yi in the county, who is from Beijing. Wen Yu heard from him that Cheng Xun is not from the east and west factories, does not have much power, and is not very favored by the emperor.But this person has a very small stomach, and is greedy and lustful. Even in the palace, many court ladies were forced to eat with him.This time he came to Mengyang and didn't have a place to stay, so he temporarily stayed in the county magistrate's mansion. Wen Yu couldn't help but be careful, the people who sent him to serve him were all servants.

But unexpectedly, Cheng Xun was very honest in the mansion, and did not make any trouble from the beginning to the end.He told Zong Yiyi his doubts, and Zong Yiyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "After all, this is also the one who served the emperor. I haven't seen any woman in the harem. I mean wait for a while and let you pay more attention. Don't let him treat you poorly." Meng Yang's finger-pointing spoiled your big business." Wen Yu was a little embarrassed, because he was thinking too much.

Living in the county magistrate's mansion is not an option, Cheng Xun is looking for a house while inquiring about Meng Yang's information.

At night, Cheng Xun looked at the collected information by candlelight, flipping through it and couldn't help sighing, who would have thought that this small city in Sichuan could be so rich.No, it's not too small now. Although the expanded Mengyang can't keep up with some old Shangxian counties, its scale is second to none in the southwest.It seems that Wen Yu is indeed capable, but so what?

Cheng Xun raised the corner of his mouth mockingly, no matter how well you manage, you will have to leave sooner or later.He himself is different. Although he is not young, he is free from illness and disaster. If things go well, he can spend another [-] years in Mengyang. At that time, he has the confidence to become the local emperor of Mengyang.

While Cheng Xun was thinking about it alone, he suddenly heard an abnormal noise outside the window, "Who?" He hid the information and asked.There was no sound outside, Cheng Xun felt puzzled, could it be that he heard it wrong?

He got up and walked to the door, pulled down the latch and took a look, but he didn't find anything strange.Suspiciously returned to the room, just about to call for someone to bring a pot of water, he felt something blurry in front of him, Cheng Xun felt bad, opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound, finally couldn't hold on for a long time, and fainted on the ground unconscious.

Early the next morning, Wen Yu went to work in the yamen as usual, and not long after she sat down, she heard the guard come to report in panic: "My lord! Something has happened!"

Wen Yu frowned: "What's the matter? You're in such a panic."

"Master Cheng Xun Cheng, he, he is dead!"

"!" Wen Yu stood up in shock, "What's going on!?"

The guard took a breather, and replied: "It was just someone from the backyard told me that Cheng Xun hadn't moved for a long time in the morning. The servant was worried that he might be sick, so he opened the door to check, and found Cheng Xun lying on the ground with his chest covered. A knife was inserted, and it looked like he had been dead for a long time."

Wen Yu was speechless for a long time, and sat down on a chair. The chief eunuch in the palace came with an imperial edict and was killed in the county government. He, the county magistrate, could hardly escape the blame.

"It's going to be difficult now..." Wen Yu forced himself to calm down, and went to inspect the crime scene under the leadership of his servants.

When he arrived, the head arrester Deng Wu and the arrester had already started the autopsy. When he saw Wen Yu Deng Wu bowed first, and then asked worriedly: "My lord, what should we do now?" Wen Yu didn't answer him, but What about the autopsy results?

Wu Zuo replied: "The time of death should have been last night. The reason is that he was stabbed in the chest by a murder weapon and lost too much blood. Mr. Cheng has no other injuries on his body, and there is no trace of a fight in the house. It seems that he was killed by one blow."

"How is this possible?" Wen Yu couldn't believe it: "People live in the county government office, people's rooms are just two steps away, and there are guards patrolling the night at night. When someone stabs you, you don't shout or scream, and you don't even struggle? "

Wu Zuo also frowned: "Yes, this is really strange. Of course, it is also possible that Cheng Xun has been stunned by the medicine before, but according to the boy's statement, when he first entered the house, he even organized the program. In the room, Cheng Xun was still alive at that time. So when did the murderer inject the poison."

Wen Yu couldn't figure it out, he never dreamed that anyone would dare to commit murder in the county magistrate's mansion.I searched the room for a long time, but still found nothing.

There is no way to hide this kind of thing, so I can only write a report and report it. I hope the higher-ups don't blame me. Wen Yu plucked her hair desperately.

"Pull it again and you'll be bald."

"It doesn't matter that there are so many things on the table. I didn't intend to have hair myself." Wen Yu returned subconsciously, and then felt something was wrong. When she looked up, Xu Jing appeared in front of her eyes.

Wen Yu quickly tidied up her clothes: "Ji Qing, why are you here? They didn't even notify you..." Seeing his chicken-nested appearance, Wen Yu was nervous and incoherent when his sweetheart saw him, and even started throwing blame, completely forgetting that it was him Tell the servants that if Xu Jing came, he would be brought in directly without notification.

Xu Jing looked at him worriedly: "I heard that Cheng Xun is dead, I'll come and see you."

Wen Yu put on a relaxed look: "Ah, about this matter, Ji Qing, you are too worried. Although Mr. Cheng died in my house, I didn't kill the person. The most is to punish me for being lax in supervision , withholding a few months of salary, it’s no big deal at all.”

But Xu Jing did not agree with him uncharacteristically, and said seriously: "Why don't you understand yet."

Wen Yu was puzzled: "Understand what?"

Xu Jing's face was serious: "The murderer can come and go freely in the yamen and kill Cheng Xun quietly, so can he also kill Wen Qiong, Brother Fu, and even - you?"

Wen Yu felt a chill behind her back.

The author has something to say: The matter of Liupin magistrate has happened in history, such as Qufu in Shandong. In the past dynasties, most of Qufu magistrates were hereditary from the descendants of the Confucius family. Because of the special status of Confucius, his descendants Officials are all six grades.

There was even a five-rank magistrate in history, that is Fuliang magistrate.

The reason is also very simple. It is because of the money. Fuliang is located in Jingdezhen, which has been rich in tea and porcelain since ancient times. Needless to say, how profitable these two things were in ancient times.The magistrate of Fuliang County has been a fifth-rank official since ancient times. In the Qing Dynasty, Dingdai Hualing was even awarded the fourth rank. Even the magistrate would give him face when he saw him.

God knows in what mood I wrote the sentence "Wen Yu has a lot of homicides during his term of office". My son, Mama, I'm sorry for you ORZ. There should be at most one more after this case is over. I should do other things after this, and continue like this It really became Conan, wherever he went, he died...
