Kaifeng County.
County government hall.
County Prime Minister Xiang Tu, wearing a blue official uniform and a futou on his head, stood respectfully below, his usually straight back slightly bent. Next to him is the county magistrate Li Nanren, who is slightly fatter, in his early thirties, and wearing a green robe.
At the top, Academician Zhao, dressed in red and crimson robe, sat upright.
In a pair of slender white hands is a summary of the files on Li Huai's case.
"The matter now involves the demon clan. I wonder if the bachelor..." Li Nanren said, looking up at the silent woman at the top, and then continued: "Is there any countermeasures?"
After finishing speaking, seeing that Academician Zhao was silent, Li Nanren's eyes flickered for a moment and then said: "It is not appropriate for conflicts between the human world and the Immortal Sect and other forces."
"Why don't we hand over Wang Feng to the Snow Mist Forest to calm down the demon clan's anger? With the immortals from Shangqing Cave Heaven sitting in charge, this matter can be settled..."
Listening to Li Nanren's words, Xiang Tu looked expressionless, as if he had no feelings at all.
"County Magistrate Li, what is the character of a scholar-bureaucrat?" However, before Li Nanren could finish his words, he heard Academician Zhao speaking from the top position.
Her dark eyebrows were sharp and her beautiful eyes were picturesque. While speaking, she didn't even raise her eyes, she just looked at the summary file in her hand quietly.
"...that will put this matter to rest... huh?" Li Nanren was startled as he was speaking. He glanced at the expressionless Xiang Tu, and then looked up again. He did not expect that Academician Zhao would suddenly ask him such a question.
After regaining his composure, Li Nanren straightened his back subconsciously, as if to show his character, and then he spoke seriously, saying: "Keep your integrity, nourish your righteousness, benefit the people, and worry about the common people!"
"Bang!" Upon hearing this, Academician Zhao, who was above, pressed the file under his hand fiercely. Rufeng's dark eyebrows were slightly raised, he stared at Li Nanren below, and shouted: "Thank you for being able to say that you should stick to your integrity and cultivate Haoran's righteousness! "
"Your awe-inspiring righteousness means that you ignore the laws of the court and unreasonably push out subordinates who have made no mistakes to calm the situation?"
"As the magistrate of Kaifeng County, you came from the imperial examination system!
The presence of such crazy people as Li Huai under your rule is a sign of your dereliction of duty as an official and your majesty's trust. This is disloyal!
It is unfilial to read the books of saints and sages in Hanchuang and disobey the teacher's teachings! Now that something has happened, he still wants to push his subordinates to death. This is unkind and unjust! How can you, an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust man, be an official?
Are you worthy of being called a scholar-bureaucrat? "
After these thunderous words, Li Nanren's face turned pale, his whole body was shaking like chaff, and his ears were buzzing.
Are all the words in your head filled with disloyalty, unfilial piety, and unkindness?
"Unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, unjust, this, this, this me, am I not a beast?!" Li Nanren fell into self-doubt.
Xiang Tu looked at the appearance of the county magistrate and sighed in his heart, "Official veteran, who do you think she is?"
Xiang Tu shook his head slightly, took a step forward, bowed his hand to Academician Zhao, and then said: "Scholar Zhao, please calm down. The county magistrate does not want the situation to escalate. After all, it concerns the demon clan and cannot be interfered with by humans. The picket inspections a few days ago have proven that , The county magistrate is indeed an upright official..."
"He really doesn't know about Li Huai."
At this time, Li Nanren finally recovered from being scolded and was about to speak, but was stopped by Xiang Tu's look.
Li Nanren, who received the signal from Xiang Tu's eyes, naturally understood that Xiang Tu was telling him not to get into trouble with this person again.
Immediately, Li Nanren lowered his head and chose silence.
"Hmph!" Scholar Zhao snorted coldly and said, "Do you think he would still be in the lobby today if it weren't for the inspection?"
Xiang Tu nodded repeatedly, but continued:
"However, the county magistrate's concerns are not without purpose. The demon clan's attitude is tough, and everyone can see that Wang Feng got the thing. And Wang Feng was taken away by a mysterious person, and he is afraid that we will turn him in... "
At this point, Xiang Tu stopped talking, but his meaning was clear.
Well, you are a high-ranking official, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and a minister, and you are rumored to be a big shot from a certain immortal cave. You can make up your mind.
Of course, as the organizer, Xiang Tu naturally knew this person's temperament, otherwise he would not have dragged Wang Feng into the situation.
"No matter what that thing is, since there are witnesses who said it was lost during a house raid, let's make an inventory based on the account books."
"If there is indeed something missing, then find Wang Feng and find out when he comes back. If he deliberately enriched himself, he will be dealt with strictly according to the law." Xuexian Zhao said, took a slight breath and exhaled, and at the same time stood up and said: "Dafu has laws. Law!"
"If the common people and officials are guilty, they will be punished by law. As for the demon clan?" After saying this, Academician Zhao came to the door of the lobby, looked at the heavy snow in the sky, stood with his hands behind his back, glanced back at the two people, and said: "Phi How can a person with hair and horns, born from moisture and turned into an egg, be above the laws of our dynasty?"
One glance, one word, and this moment shocked Xiang Tu and Li Nanren. Such words made them shocked and even more excited!
"The evidence for Li Huai's case is conclusive and the case has been closed." After saying this calmly, Xueshi Zhao walked towards the outside of the lobby, where the sky was covered with heavy snow.
Wearing a red official robe and a black bun, he walked with his hands behind his back. The red color in the snow-white sky and earth formed a very dazzling and striking contrast!
Shocking beyond measure!
"Why does she always wear a scarlet robe? Given her rank, she should be wearing the noble purple official robe..." Li Nanren murmured to himself.
"I don't know." Xiang Tu shook his head slightly, as if to answer.
…
"My surname is Wen, and my given name is Yi Zhu."
Seeing Wang Feng solemnly asking for her name, the woman did not hide it, and a gentle smile appeared on her face.
asparagus? When Wang Feng heard the woman's name, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. Gee, this name, well, is special enough.
It can only be said that Hengji Beast is an arranger. In his previous life, he liked to raise asparagus at home, which was beautiful, elegant, elegant and free.
Just like a small pine and cypress, if you keep it in a beautiful porcelain pot, put some beautiful rocks and moss, it will become a noble and elegant bonsai.
Well, the most important thing is that asparagus is blooming, which symbolizes good luck in Feng Shui. At least when you meet her, you get good news, right?
"My wife's name is very special, Asparagus. I have raised it before and I like it very much." Wang Feng said with a smile on his face.
"Oh?" Wenzhu glanced at Wang Feng in surprise, and then said in a gentle tone: "Wenzhu is delicate, the official must be a kind-hearted person."
She was a little surprised that people in the yamen liked to raise asparagus, a fragile thing that only scholars would take care of.
"Thank you for the compliment, madam." Wang Feng said politely.
polite? Hum hum, I, Wang Feng, never take this thing with me when I go out.
"Ah?" Wen Zhu didn't expect that Wang Feng would admit it like this, and couldn't help but be stunned. Shouldn't he be saying some ridiculous praise?
"Huh." Suddenly, Wen Zhu couldn't help but lower his head, his red lips pursed into a smile, and then he looked at Wang Feng and said, "It's very interesting for officials to talk."
Interesting? I have been very restrained. If it had been before, I would have deceived you and quietly whispered in your ear that Asparagus is diuretic. (Note: Asparagus, medicinal material, detoxifies and diuretics.)
"That's right!" After seeing that the two parties were acquainted, Wang Feng pretended that he just remembered it and said: "Ms. Wenzhu hasn't told me where I am and where we are going now... "
"Hey!" At this time, the coachman's voice sounded outside the carriage, "Madam, Bianjing City has arrived."
"Well, let's go." Wen Zhu looked at Wang Feng and said with a smile: "Enter the city immediately." After saying that, he paused slightly, and then continued: "I met the officials outside the city. There were no people around at that time. Others have not seen others.”
What a smart woman. Wang Feng knew that she knew that she was an official and was covered in blood, so she must have encountered something to say this.
"Thank you, madam." Wang Feng slightly cupped his hands to express his gratitude.
"Doctors are benevolent and cannot ignore nature when they encounter it." Wenzhu waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to thank him, and then said: "The official is going back to the county government next? Maybe I can give the official a ride."
After opening the car window and looking at the heavy snow in the sky, Wang Feng nodded and said to Wenzhu, "Then I'll bother you, madam."
Well, with a luxury car to ride and a beautiful woman to accompany him, Wang Feng would naturally not take the "No. 11" bus back to the Yamen in a snowy day.
The sky was overcast and gray, and I couldn't tell the time. But I guessed it was already past noon.
"When I return to the Yamen, I wonder what kind of storm will be waiting for me. Well, the Humming Beast should have arranged everything for me, right?"
"You can't just dig the hole and not bury it, right?"
"Well, it's impossible. It's absolutely impossible. The Humming Beast wouldn't be so confused."
"..."
