Xumi Pianruo was happy. He came to Yunzhou, and it could even be said that he came from nowhere.
Lin Ye once said that he wanted Xumi Pianruo to come to Yunzhou to serve as an official, and the two of them would stay together...
Xumi Pianruo is unwilling to stay away from Geling, which means staying away from the center of power.
He is still so young, of course he still wants to climb up the ladder, but the young minister of Dali Temple is not his ultimate goal.
Not even the Minister of Dali Temple. He is so young and has greater ambitions.
It is impossible to come to Yunzhou to be an official for a long time, absolutely impossible.
But of course he would be happy to come to Yunzhou occasionally and cooperate with Lin Ye to do something.
This kind of thing, let alone doing something about it, is just a pleasure to think about.
Besides, when Lin Ye wants to do something, can he just think about it? When General Lin makes trouble, he never thinks it's a big deal.
Therefore, Xumi Pianruo could run as fast as he could on the way from Geling to Yunzhou.
He was afraid that if he arrived too late, all the interesting things would be done by Lin Ye alone.
If he wanted to be promoted aside from himself, Xumi Pianruo was really willing to join hands with Lin Ye to do something.
For no other reason than to feel comfortable and refreshed.
He even thought that if he really went to Yunzhou, it might not take two years for Yunzhou officialdom to bring disaster to him and Lin Ye.
What a happy day that must be.
When Xumi Pianruo arrived at Niao County, he was stunned as soon as he entered the city.
There was actually a long queue on the street, with no end in sight.
The rear of the team was still at the city gate, and they had no idea where the leader was.
Xumi Pianruo asked his men to ask why the people were waiting in such a long queue.
The subordinates dismounted and went to inquire, but after a while they came back to report, saying that the Governor had told the people who had been wronged to come to the county government office to redress their grievances. No matter whether they were wronged in Niao County or not, they could come and file a complaint.
Xumi Pianruoxin said that Niaoxian County was really full of complaints because of a bastard magistrate. How many days had passed and there were still so many people waiting in line.
Doing the math, Lin Ye sent someone to deliver the message to Geling, took a military post, and traveled day and night. It took at least more than 20 days to reach Geling.
He was sent to Yunzhou by the emperor on the same day, and the journey was almost day and night, not much slower than the fast horse of Junyi.
However, after all, two months are enough.
It has been two months, but there are still so many people queuing up to seek redress in Niao County. This shows that the bastard magistrate really did a lot of evil.
When he arrived at the yamen gate, Xumi Pianruo saw a dozen tables lined up on the street, all of which were receiving people who came to redress their grievances.
Even so, it seems that I am still too busy.
Xumi Pianruo knew that officials in most places were unclean, but he felt that this was unclean, that is, their hands and feet were unclean, and they could just eat and take some.
Who would have expected that a small Niao County could have so many grievances.
Xumi Pianruo dismounted and asked where the Protector-General was. Someone told him that the Protector-General was in the backyard of the county government office.
A picture appeared in Xumi Pianruo's mind. Lin Ye sent people to receive the people who were involved in the small cases at the front, while those who were involved in the big cases were complaining to Lin Ye in the backyard.
But when he got to the backyard, he realized that he still overestimated our General Lin.
General Lin was sitting in the backyard, watching a group of his soldiers wrestling.
Judging from Lin Ye's charming expression, Lin Ye must have placed a bet.
Just as Xumi Pianruo was about to step forward to speak, a person suddenly came from the side.
"But Master Xumi?"
When Xumi Pianruo took a look, I knew him.
Shi Jin Tang. Shi Jintang stopped Xumi Pianruo with a smile and a polite look on his face. In Xumi Pianruo's opinion, this politeness was a bit too much.
"Master Shi."
Xumi Pianruo clasped his fists.
Shi Jintang said: "I have been looking forward to Master Xumi's arrival for a long time, and today I finally got you. The Protector should be very happy, and even I am very happy."
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
At this moment, Xumi Pianruo had these words in his mind.
"Master Shi, what does this... mean?"
"Well, that's right."
Shi Jintang said with a serious face: "This case is extremely rare because of its wide involvement. Master Xumi also saw it when he came. So many people were still queuing up to seek justice."
Xumi Pianruo nodded and said, "Yes, I did see a lot of people waiting in line when I entered the city."
Shi Jintang said: "In the past few days, I have been learning about this case, so the more I looked at it, the more frightened I became, and the more I looked at it, the more painful it became. I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night."
Xumi Pianruoxin said, what do you mean by stopping me from saying this?
Shi Jintang continued: "Because of the shock and sorrow, I blame myself more and more. Investigating and handling cases is indeed not what I am good at. I am afraid that there will be some mistakes and the grievances of the people will not be understood and dealt with 100% of the time. .”
Having said this, Shi Jintang turned around and said, "Bring the things up."
Several of his men came up carrying two large boxes and placed them at Xumi Pianruo's feet.
Shi Jintang said: "These are all case files that I have compiled over the past few days. Lord Xumi, don't worry, my people are working hard and have organized them very well. Lord Xumi will definitely not mess up the situation when looking at these files."
After finishing speaking, Shi Jintang clasped his fists and said, "Well, Master Xumi has been working hard. I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, he waved and the person leading him left in a hurry.
Xumi Pianruoxin said that Shi Jintang was not as annoying as he thought before.
When he was in Geling, Xumi Pianruo never wanted to see that guy.
Seeing that she was so polite and handled things so securely, all the dislike she had originally felt was gone.
Xumi Pianruo walked up to Lin Ye with a smile: "My lower official, Xumi Pianruo, has met the general... No, no, no, I have met the Protector."
Lin Ye hummed and asked, "Was it hard to come here?"
Xumi Pianruo smiled and said: "Fortunately, it's not hard work."
Lin Ye said: "If it's not hard, just go to work. Look, there are so many people outside waiting. Shi Jintang has already withdrawn with his people. Hurry up and take over."
Xumi Pianruo was stunned.
After a moment, he came to his senses: "Those who receive the people outside the county government office are all people from Shi Jintang, not Lord Protector?"
Lin Ye said: "Shi Jintang works under me, and his people are of course my people."
Xumi Pianruo: "Yes, yes, yes, what I mean is that since Shi Jintang took people away, Lord Protector has not arranged for others..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Ye pointed at Xumi Pianruo: "I'll arrange it for you."
Xumi Pianruo: "This official is from far away and is not familiar with the case. Lord Protector should give me some time..."
Before he finished speaking, he was blocked by Lin Ye again.
Lin Ye said: "Since you are not familiar with the case, why not hurry up and get familiar with it."
Xumi Pianruo looked at Lin Ye, with an innocent look and resignation, but with the determination that I won't go unless you give me an explanation.
Lin Ye sighed: "If you want to understand your current situation, we still have to talk about Shi Jintang first."
Xumi Pianruo immediately said: "I would like to hear the details."
Lin Ye said: "When I left Geling, His Majesty asked Shi Jintang to come with me to Yunzhou to work, you know." Xumi Pianruo said: "I know."
Lin Ye nodded and said, "Shi Jintang is the new governor of Yu Lingwei. Do you know this?"
Xumi Pianruo nodded again and said, "I only heard about it after Lord Protector left Geling. I didn't know about it before."
Lin Ye said: "A governor from Yu Ling Guard came to Yunzhou with me. Do you think he might be here to keep an eye on me?"
Xumi Pianruo: "It's hard to say."
Lin Ye: "I wasn't sure, but I had to take precautions, so I thought of a way. I went out on patrol, used an excuse to go sightseeing, and then handed over all the civil affairs in the Three Norths to him."
Xumi Pianruo's eyes lit up, thinking that this move was bad enough.
Lin Ye said: "He was very busy, so he probably didn't even have time to take a break, so as soon as he heard that something happened to me in Niao County, he rushed over immediately."
After thinking about it, Xumi Pianruo knew that in a place as big as Sanbei, with so many civil affairs matters, it would be strange if Shi Jintang didn't get upset.
Shi Jintang came in a hurry, it must be because he had had enough in Yunzhou.
So Xumi Pianruo said: "This man feels tired after doing some work. If not, how could he come here in such a hurry? He just feels that things here are much more leisurely than those in Yunzhou."
Lin Ye nodded: "Yes, then guess, why did he run away in a hurry?"
Xumi Pianruo: "Huh?"
After a moment: "Ah~!"
Lin Ye nodded again, his eyes were sincere and full of trust as he looked at Xumi Pianruo.
He said: "Shi Jintang probably regretted it from the day he came here, and as you said, he found it hard to do some work."
Xumi Pianruo: "This is a bad person!"
Lin Ye said: "I think so too, but he is the envoy of Yulingwei Town. Although he came to Yunzhou with me to do business, I have no right to deal with him. After all, Yulingwei is your Majesty's person."
Xumi Pianruo hummed.
Lin Ye said: "So, he didn't put up a notice for a month before, so that people could come to the county government to redress their grievances. He just calculated that you were about to arrive, so he asked people to put up the notice. Do you think this person has a bad heart? broken."
Xumi Pianruo's eyes gradually lost their luster, and the joy that came with them disappeared.
Lin Ye said: "This person is too hateful. He delayed my explanation until you were about to come. He obviously deliberately tried to push the case to you."
Xumi Pianruo swallowed, and he was already thinking about whether he should find a way to transfer back to Geling immediately, or whether he should kill the guy in front of him...
It's not that fast to transfer back to Geling. No matter how I think about it, it is faster and more practical to kill Lin Ye.
He really didn't believe that Shi Jintang could decide these things. That was because Lin Ye was lazy and deliberately delayed waiting for him to come.
Lin Ye patted Xumi Pianruo's shoulder: "Don't worry, I can't just sit idly by and ignore this kind of thing. Although I can't deal with Shi Jintang, I can file a memorial and let His Majesty deal with him."
Xumi Pianruo just looked at Lin Ye. There was obviously no luster in his eyes, why were they still wet?
Lin Ye said: "Don't be so moved."
Xumi Pianruo didn't speak for a long time, but Lin Ye waited patiently for him.
Finally, seeing that Xumi Pianruo's expression was no longer so sad and angry, Lin Ye asked.
"You probably know the facts of the case. What do you think of this matter?"
Xumi Pianruo said: "I didn't know how to look at it before. I was young and lacked understanding of Lord Protector and blindly trusted him. Now that I look at Lord Protector, I have woken up. I think it is not unreasonable for you to be assassinated just after leaving home." .”
Lin Ye: "..."
Xumi Pianruo said: "Besides, I still doubt that it is not and cannot be all the fault of others."
