Guo Xiao, who didn't know why, was pulled out of the county government office by Cui Xianqiang, and walked all the way through the streets and alleys to the opposite side of the medical center. Cui Xian pointed at Ji Rou'er who was busy grabbing medicine in the medical center.
"This girl's name is Ji Rou'er, and she is known as Fairy Wonderful Hands. I have decided that I will not marry anyone but her in this life!"
Guo Xiao looked at Ji Rouer, who was dressed in commoner clothes, without any makeup, and her hair was only pinned up with a wooden hairpin. Turning around to look at Cui Xian, who has an extraordinary temperament and an equally extraordinary family background, he pondered for a moment and then said.
"The beauty of this girl is indeed outstanding, but her facial features are full of charm. She may not be a good choice for a real wife. It would be good for a concubine."
"Brother Guo Xian, what you said is wrong. How can we, the scholars, care about the red tape of the world and the rules of being well-matched? As long as two people are happy, they will be a good couple for life. And your evaluation of Miss Rou'er is also biased. However, But I don’t blame you, let’s wait and see.”
Cui Xian smiled mysteriously at Guo Xiao, made a calm gesture, and then looked around, not knowing what he was looking for.
…
In the back hall of the county government office, Guo Muhuai couldn't help but feel happy and excited after reading the seventeen detailed procedures for solving the case.
After reviewing these seventeen cases and filling out the examination documents with such a rich and colorful stroke, promotion should be a sure thing.
For a moment, he forgot about his own son Guo Xiao, and with a wave of his hand, police officers rushed out of the yamen in droves and rushed to various parts of the city to investigate and arrest people according to the detailed procedures for solving the case.
These police officers have all been trained by Rong Fei, their actions are orderly, well-organized, and their work efficiency is quite high. The first three cases were quickly identified and all the witnesses and evidence were brought back to the Yamen.
"The county magistrate is going to court to try the case! I'm going to have a lot of fun today. There are a total of seventeen strange cases. I won't close the office until the trial is over."
Under Li Fengjie's arrangement, the news that Guo Muhuai was going to try seventeen consecutive cases soon spread throughout the city.
I don’t know since when, the trial of the Fencheng County Grand Master has become a spectacle and a grand event.
There are even rumors among the people that there is a skeleton of the ancient mythical beast Xiezhi buried under Fen City.
Haechi, also known as Renfa beast, is said to be the mount of the ancient prison god Gaotao. It can distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and know right from wrong. If it sees a guilty person, it will use its horns to fight against it.
It was precisely because of the help of Haechi that successive county magistrates became masters in solving crimes. For ten years, there was not a single unjust, false or wrong case in Fencheng.
The people of Fencheng who had nothing to do immediately rushed to the county government office early to get a good seat with their benches in hand. Those who had work in hand and couldn't get rid of it for a while also accelerated their pace anxiously.
With the sound of gongs and drums, the Fencheng County Yamen Gate opened, and the trial officially began.
During his four years in office, Guo Muhuai has become very familiar with how to grasp the rhythm, mobilize the emotions of the people watching, and highlight his keen insight and sharp eyesight.
After the trial of the first case was completed, the people on the inner and outer three floors who were blocked outside the yamen gate burst into loud shouts.
"The county magistrate is wise!"
"The vicious woman conspired with the adulterer to murder her husband, and also framed and framed the adulterer's business rival. She is really hateful and hateful and deserves to be killed!"
In an elegant room facing the street on the second floor of a restaurant diagonally across from the county government office, a middle-aged man wearing a white gown was holding a writing brush in his hand, recording the process of Guo Muhuai's trial just now, word for word.
After writing the last word, the second case on the opposite side has not yet started to be heard.
The man put down his brush, read the record again, and then nodded in approval.
"Strict logic, clear thinking, finding flaws in the subtleties, and then following the clues to figure out the overall situation. It is worthy of the name of good judgment. This trip is not in vain."
The second case opposite began to be heard, and the man quickly picked up his brush and started recording it carefully, for fear of missing a word.
At this time, the street in front of the county government office had been blocked from top to bottom. Looking from the second floor, I saw that the street was filled with densely packed heads, and the cheers and discussions were sweeping across like a wave.
Soon after the three cases were heard, the smile on the man in white became thicker and his eyes showed undisguised admiration.
Dangdang, someone knocked on the door.
"Enter."
The door opened, and a man in gray clothes and gray trousers walked in and saluted with clasped fists.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates have found out. The person who really solved the case in Fencheng County Yamen was Chief Arrester Rong Fei, not the county magistrate Guo Muhuai."
"Oh? Tell me in detail."
The middle-aged man in white shirt frowned and said coldly.
The man in gray then told everything he had learned, including the total price of the seventeen cases today, which was two thousand and forty taels, which no one else could know.
After hearing this, the middle-aged man in white shirt lost the coldness on his face and revealed a playful smile on his lips.
"Have you checked that Rong Fei?"
"It's been found out, and it's all recorded here."
The man in gray clothes took out a stack of paper full of writing from his arms and handed it over respectfully.
"Go down."
The man in gray clothes exited the room and closed the door. The middle-aged man in white clothes unfolded the paper and read through it.
"Dunzhou...I fled here ten years ago...I just came back from Dunzhou yesterday. Dunzhou is now a scorched earth. Not to mention the trace of human beings, there is not even a single reptile. What else is Rong Fei going to do?"
At this time, the middle-aged man in white shirt's attention has been completely transferred to Rong Fei. No matter how enthusiastic the cheers outside are, he can't arouse the slightest interest.
He glanced at the Fencheng County Government Office in disgust, raised his arms and flung up his robe sleeves, and the rice paper, inkstone, pen holder and other objects on the table disappeared in an instant.
After a gust of breeze, the figure of the middle-aged man in white shirt disappeared from the room.
…
Rong Fei's transaction with the black market merchant went smoothly without any accidents. Coming out of the underground passage where the black market is located, there are few pedestrians on the street, and cheers can be heard from time to time in the direction of the county government office.
"Why are you so anxious?"
Rong Fei smiled and shook his head. He reached out and brushed the practice skills and the porcelain bottle containing the elixir in his arms. He felt impatient and couldn't help but speed up his pace home.
Walking all the way through the streets and alleys to the entrance of Osmanthus Alley, a white shirt blown by the breeze came into view.
Rong Fei stopped and looked at the middle-aged man in white shirt standing in front of his house.
The middle-aged man in white shirt also looked at Rong Fei at this time, turned around and put his hands in his hands and asked with a smile.
"But Rong Feirong is the head hunter?"
Rong Fei did not answer. He first looked the middle-aged man in white shirt up and down, then stepped forward and stopped five steps away from him, clasped his hands and said respectfully.
"The chief arrester of Fencheng, Rong Fei, has met your Excellency."
"Oh, do you know who I am?"
The middle-aged man in white shirt looked surprised.
"Those who have been in high positions for a long time have majesty in their brows and extraordinary demeanor in the way they walk and wave their hands."
Rong Fei replied calmly.
"Hahaha, I thought there was something missing. It turns out you were guessing too, but you guessed it right."
The middle-aged man in white shirt laughed.
"Yu Qingzhi, the chief arrester of Dayan Jixian Division, came here to pay a visit to Rong Fei, the chief arrester of Fencheng. We are all chief arresters, and there is no distinction between big and small. If you don't want to see anyone else, just call me Brother Yu."
Upon hearing the words Ji Xian Si, Rong Fei's calm expression changed slightly, and he glanced at the corner of his mouth uncontrollably.
"Captain Rong doesn't seem to welcome me. Have you and I ever crossed paths before?"
Yu Qingzhi saw the change in Rong Fei's expression in his eyes, and asked with doubts in his heart.
"Sorry, I'm rude. Please move to the courtyard and take a seat, Brother Yu."
Rong Fei realized his gaffe and apologized quickly.
After opening the courtyard door, the two sat opposite each other at the stone table, and then Rong Fei explained.
"Brother Yu, please don't misunderstand me. I didn't mean to be disrespectful to you, it was just a bit unexpected. Originally, I thought you were... Well, I see that you have extraordinary bearing, brother Yu, so I told the truth. I hope you don't blame me.
I think I have some ability to investigate and solve cases, and I want to stand out based on this. But he came from a humble background, and if there was no accident, the arrest of the county chief would have been the pinnacle. Therefore, I have devoted all my efforts over the years to assist the county magistrate in solving the case, just to attract the attention of the state government or the Ministry of Punishment.
The yamen's trial of the case can frighten the common people who don't know what's going on, but it cannot hide it from the officials of the state government and the Ministry of Punishment. It only takes one investigation to find out that it was me, Rong Fei, who really solved the case. If you are recognized and promoted by the state capital or the Ministry of Punishment, you can sit in a higher position and make greater achievements.
But I never expected that it would be Brother Yu or Ji Xiansi who would come. "
"A bigger deed? Are you referring to the Dunzhou disaster?"
Yu Qingzhi tapped his fingers lightly on the stone table and asked, staring into Rong Fei's eyes.
Sure enough, he came prepared, and he found out everything about himself. Rong Fei remained calm on the surface, but he was muttering secretly in his heart.
"Brother Yu is aware of everything, and my younger brother is also aware that people don't tell secrets. I fled here from Dunzhou ten years ago, and all my family members and belongings died in the disaster. After I was arrested, I checked the government records. I read the Di newspaper and found that there was no mention of the Dunzhou disaster, as if it had never happened. I was suspicious and wanted to find out. Therefore, I wanted to try my luck in the state capital or even the criminal record room. "
Rong Fei replied seriously.
"It's a good saying that people who are clear don't say hidden things."
Yu Qingzhi slapped the case with his palm and said in admiration.
"Even if that's the case, I won't beat around the bush. There are files on the Dunzhou disaster in the archives of the Jixian Division. If Brother Rong is willing to join the Jixian Division, you can check them out at any time."
"this…"
Although when Yu Qingzhi revealed his identity, Rong Fei had already made some guesses and preparations. But at this time, Yu Qingzhi invited him, but Rong Fei had concerns in his heart.
Although Jixian Si has the word "Si", it is not within the structure of the three provinces and six ministries of the Dayan court. Strictly speaking, it is not a formal yamen. Rather, it was founded eight hundred years ago by the order of the founding emperor of Dayan and was a department directly under the emperor's jurisdiction.
The powers of the Jixian Division are also boundless. First of all, it is not difficult to see from the word "Ji Xian" that the primary responsibility of the Ji Xian Division is to arrest practitioners who violate national laws.
Secondly, there are reviews and trials of yamen cases at all levels across the country, military supplies and supplies accounts, spying on intelligence, cracking down on corruption, etc.
In Rong Fei's view, Ji Xian Si is an enhanced version of Jin Yiwei. When the power is at its peak, one person is truly inferior to ten thousand people.
But these are all old almanacs from eight hundred years ago.
Ever since the actual founder of the Ji Xian Division, the head of the Five Ultimates, and the first generation chief hunter known as the God Catcher, ascended to the immortal world, the Ji Immortal Division has been deteriorating from generation to generation.
Ju Rongfei heard from the gossip that Jixiansi is now just a small, oppressed and unpopular yamen in Kyoto.
If it hadn't been for the chief arrester Yu Qingzhi holding up the facade, I'm afraid it would have been torn down long ago.
Wouldn't it be a suicide to go to a place like this?
