"yes,"
Hang Zixuan, with his delicate face and outstanding facial features, smiled unusually and nodded in recognition.
"We ordinary people are struggling to live in this world. Who hasn't had a short life? We have teeth and tongues that are bitten, right?
Anyone who has been wronged or has a grudge will naturally long for a truly honest government office and an official who is truly willing to consider us. Isn't this a normal thing?
But in fact, it is extremely rare for us to encounter it.
After the common people heard about your name, they wanted to test whether you were a fame seeker like Mr. Lu, or whether you were a real official serving the country and the people.
I tried it, so I have no regrets anymore, just do whatever you want. "
Di Ying looked at the child's upright and clean eyes, then softened his tone and attitude.
He asked softly but sincerely: "Son, is it because your sister's disappearance was not taken seriously by the county magistrate or Mr. Lu after you reported it? That's why you hated the government?"
You and your mother used this method to attract me. In addition to testing, do you also want to ask me to help you find your sister and your father? "
Hearing Master Di say this, a look of surprise clearly flashed across Hang Zixuan's face.
Then he sighed, smiled and shook his head.
He stretched out his hands and said: "How busy are the officials? How busy are you, Mr. Di? The disappearance case is still a disappearance case that has happened for half a year. The missing person is still a little girl, only five years old...
There are really too many cases like this. You...have no time and no way to find such missing persons. I don't have that much extravagant hope, please Sir Di, please convict me and take me back to deal with it. "
This tone, this attitude, these words...
Others could still endure it forcefully, but Nie Bo was the first to be unable to bear it.
He shook his beard and was about to yell at Hang Zixuan.
Di Ying stopped Nie Bo with quick eyes and hands.
Looking at Hang Zixuan again, he said in the same serious and sincere tone: "Hang Zixuan, no matter what others do, if you believe me, you can tell me your mother and son's appeal.
I am not sure that I will be able to find your sister, but I promise that I will do my best to find her.
Also, if you just want to go to jail using this method, can you tell me the reason? Could it be that he just despaired of life outside and wanted to stay in prison? "
When Hang Zixuan heard these words, a flash of unknown and complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.
He retracted his hand, lowered his head again, and murmured: "Master Di, do you know? If I had reported the case to other officials this time, they would have put me on death row by now. .
You didn't. Not only did you see at a glance that this was a fake case, you were also willing to say these things to ordinary people. You are a good person and a good official, and the common people believe in you. "
Speaking of this, Hang Zixuan raised his head, his clear eyes flashing with determination.
With a tone that was either self-deprecating or sarcastic, he added: "But even you can't guarantee that I will find my sister, right? So, please take the grassroots back to the Yamen and lock them up. . If I can’t find my sister, it doesn’t matter where I live. At least I have food in prison.”
"You don't care about your mother?"
Di Ying gritted her teeth secretly and replied in a calm tone.
Pain flashed across Hang Zixuan's face, and he shook his head and said, "I'm only fifteen years old, and I can't afford too much. Mother has her own choices, and I have mine, so let's just live in peace."
"Have you read the book?"
Di Ying changed the question and asked again.
The look of pain on Hang Zixuan's face became heavier and heavier. He smiled wryly and nodded.
"I have been reading for a few years. After my sister disappeared, my father left and never came back, so I couldn't continue reading."
"Then have you passed the Scholar Examination? Or have you only passed the Tongsheng Examination?"
Di Ying felt that this child must have learned well, so he wanted to ask.
"I only passed the Tongsheng test. I was supposed to take the Xiucai test next year, but..."
Hang Zixuan replied with a regretful tone, but there was no trace of regret on his face.
Come to think of it: in his own opinion, no trial or future is as important as his sister.
Di Ying sighed in understanding, and then said: "Tell me about your sister's situation. Including her appearance, body shape, the style, color, and characteristics of the clothes, pants, and shoes she wore before she disappeared, etc., all in detail. Tell me in detail.
And your father's.
Also, get your mother back and clean up the house. I will not punish you mother and son, so you two will live in peace for the time being.
In each of our lives, we have gains and losses. No matter which one you face, you must first take care of yourself so that you can have the courage to accept it.
Don't get too carried away. Leave the rest to me. "
Di Ying felt that she had said it well and explained it quite clearly. He gave the other party comfort, gave the other party hope, and also gave the other party some advice. Needless to say, there is no need to say more.
but.
But Hang Zixuan was extremely angry.
He rushed to the courtyard door and opened it wide. His anger burned and vented like a sudden eruption of fire.
"You go! I don't need you to help me find my sister and my father. You go! It's me who's blind. It's me who still has hope in the government. It's me who thought you, Mr. Di, would be a different person. It's me who's too Stupid. You are the same, all the same! You only ask questions, but in the end you just sit on the shelf and do nothing. You go!"
Di Ying left.
Before stopping the bodyguard brothers from taking action against Hang Zixuan, he took them away from Hang Zixuan's home and Xiaxi Village.
After riding a mile away from Xiaxi Village, Di Ying stopped, dismounted, and sat on a stone beside the road.
The clever Liu Liu did not dismount. He winked at Ye Thirty-four and Shen Thirty-eight, and the three of them turned their horses' heads on the spot and ran towards Xiaxi Village.
Nie Bo, being a very naive person, went to comfort the adults in their family.
"Sir, please don't be angry. Hang Zixuan is still a child. What do children know about propriety, right? You are always magnanimous and tolerant, so don't..."
Speaking of which, Nie Bo was the angriest one before. He was so angry that he wanted to pin that brat Hang Zixuan on the bench and spank him.
But after coming out this way, I figured it out again. He is a child, a child who grew up in a rural area. Even if he has studied for several years and passed the Tongsheng Examination, he still has little knowledge and experience. It is understandable that he lacks some etiquette.
He already has a beard, so he shouldn't argue with a child.
Therefore, when I saw my master like this and knew that he was still angry, I wanted to express my thoughts and give him some advice.
