"That person is Chen Yuanwai from the west of the city. His eldest son was a Jinshi in high school last year. I heard that the examiner was still Prime Minister Li. Now he is serving as a judge in Dali, and if there is a vacancy in any state or county, he will have the opportunity to fill it. He also started as a general judge. So look at the way he smiles... Humph!" Translated
Li Xiang is today's Pingzhang Shi Li Hang, and Li Yuan's tone is full of sourness.
"There is also the Wang family over there, which is also from the west of the city. They had a fierce quarrel with the Chen family a few years ago because of the land dispute. Their old man went to Zizhou magistrate, and he has been idle at home since he became an official. But there was a county magistrate who belonged to his family. Disciple, I have been quiet in the past few years, and I am still uncertain about the future."
"That's the Yuan family in the north of the city. For generations, there have been people who have been in charge of the county government and have made outstanding achievements. Whether they are the county magistrate, the county captain, or our family, we have to give them some face. If anything happens, they can stand up and mediate. "
"There's another place there, do you see it? That's the Qin family I told you about last time. Don't look at their reputation, but they have become in-laws with some powerful people in the capital..."
To be honest, compared with these families where most of the descendants or in-laws are from imperial examination officials, the background of the Li family, which has only one civil servant, seems a bit shabby. The only thing that can be obtained is money.
So at the beginning, Li Yuan actually wanted Li Yong to go to school and come back with a merit degree.
But in the end, something went wrong and he ended up learning martial arts. translate
While he was introducing, people came up to say hello from time to time. After a while, it became inconvenient for him to continue taking Li Yong with him, so he told him to do his own thing, while he went to find other people to make friends with.
Li Yong was not alone on this occasion, and soon someone came up to greet him.
"Jun Ming, why didn't you agree when Qianer asked you to come out? You don't know what happened that day..."
The topic among young people is still a group of young people who come from either rich or noble backgrounds and have nothing else to do but eat, drink and have fun.
Li Yong was just dragged into the topic. The real central figure was the second son of the Chen family. Because his brother was a Jinshi, he had a promising future. Although he himself did not study, he was just waiting to die, but His status among this group of dudes is vaguely the highest.
And he also enjoyed this treatment very much, with a sense of contentment in his eyes.
After a while, the topic unknowingly turned to the magistrate's daughter. translate
After all, it was no secret to them that the magistrate was going to hold a poetry party at the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner to choose a husband for his daughter.
"My father said that the magistrate is really planning to help Yu Mingzhen choose a suitable husband at this dinner party."
"So, isn't Brother Chen the most promising?"
Mr. Chen patted his fan, shook his head and said, "I can only write a few crooked poems, how can I be worthy of that strange woman?"
The strange woman was naturally teasing, so strange.
This is not because he has self-awareness, but because he feels that he cannot subdue the tigress - well, he still has self-awareness.
All the dandies who were originally deceived by her appearance suffered losses at her hands, so the "notoriety" of the county magistrate's daughter is now more or less the result of these guys' malicious revenge. translate
Otherwise, how could a girl who never bullied men and dominate women bear such a big stigma?
"Hey, Brother Li, why don't you go and give it a try?" Someone then focused their attention on Li Yong, who had been silent and pretending to be an expert. "We have all suffered from Miss Yu, but Brother Li, you haven't talked to me yet. She has met you. Is it possible that she will be impressed by your heroism? "
As soon as these words came out, a few people who thought deeply about it immediately burst into laughter.
Li Yong said calmly: "It is said that this is a poetry meeting. As you all know, I can only dance with a gun and a stick, so how can I write poetry? I can do limericks, so I won't be embarrassed by it."
"I can also read limericks..." Someone read a colorful poem, and the laughter became even louder, causing some people around to look at him.
But seeing a group of local second-generation people from Qiantang on their side, nothing happened in the end.
Li Yong couldn't help but feel bored after listening to them talking about some fantastic topics. He yawned and excused himself to go to the latrine. translate
Naturally, he had to go downstairs if he wanted to go to the latrine. He walked around the corner and was about to go down when he suddenly heard a dispute below. Li Yong's heart was moved. When he was about to listen carefully, he saw a shout from the other side: "Who's there?"
Li Yong thought that with his current body control ability, it would not be difficult to approach him silently. Either he had discovered him before, or there was a master there.
He took the initiative to walk down and frowned: "I want to go to the latrine, what are you doing here blocking the road?"
As he spoke, he quickly took in the faces of the two people.
Both of them are middle-aged in their thirties or forties. One has a rugged appearance, thick eyebrows and big eyes, but a solemn look. Judging from the clothes he wears, he seems to be relatively poor. Logically speaking, unless he is from this banquet building, he cannot be picked up. At the invitation of the county magistrate.
The other one is thin, has a high nose, deep eyes, sinister eyes, and mean lips, and has a face that makes people feel very uncomfortable just looking at it.
"Who are you?" The thin man asked first, glancing at the big man next to him. translate
The big man bowed down consciously, said something and then retreated.
Li Yong's heart moved slightly, and he had an intuition that there was something in this, but at this time he couldn't hold the big man back, and he couldn't ask the thin man in front of him, so he could only pretend not to know, tilted his head and frowned: "What are you doing again?" Who dares to interfere in my young master’s business?”
As he said that, he went downstairs and ignored the other person. The man looked behind him for a while, and then went back after thinking for a while.
However, when Li Yong went downstairs, he had already lost sight of the strong man. He secretly released the invisible drone and found nothing, so he had to give up first.
I just came back from the latrine and as soon as I went upstairs, I saw a commotion in front of the hall. They were looking at something in a corner, and then someone inside shouted "Dead man".
"ah?"
Wow! translate
One stone stirred up a thousand ripples, and when the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar among the people outside who just followed the crowd blindly, but did not know what was going on inside. Many people had a look of fear on their faces and subconsciously retreated.
The more important one is, the more one fears the death threats happening around him.
The magistrate quickly got the news and knew that he could not let the news spread at this time. He ordered people to stand up and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Yu has sent people to block this place. No entry or exit is allowed. The murderer can't escape." go out……"
Obviously, these words could not appease everyone. The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, the formal dinner, had not even started yet, but it was already cast a shadow because of this dead person.
Now, according to the magistrate's wishes, the murderer may still be among them, which makes it impossible for anyone to sit back and relax.
Not only because everyone is suspected, but also because there are unpredictable risks. If the murderer is one of them, wouldn't they all be in danger when he is forced to jump over the wall?
At this time, many people hated themselves for coming and wanted to leave here as soon as possible. translate
But Magistrate Yu had already spoken, and it was even more impossible to leave at this time. He could only hold back and watch the officials mobilized by the county government to maintain order. At the same time, Wu Zuo was already in place and began to examine the bodies over there.
