Chapter 40 See you again
Boss Wei beat these two people like this.
It seems the rumors are true.
A moment.
The eyes of the government officials changed when they looked at Boss Wei. He went from a robber who needed to be taken seriously to a pitiful man whose wife was having an affair.
Boss Wei was so stimulated by these looks that he went crazy and beat the two men again.
The officer finally managed to pull the three of them away.
As soon as they arrived, they were taken back to the county magistrate to deal with it.
Xie Lingjiao secretly followed him to the Yamen.
"Put them in a cell first, and then deal with them after reporting them to Lord Ming!"
The entrance to the dungeon is small and narrow.
Xie Lingjiao did not follow him in, but listened outside for a while. Boss Wei asked the Yamen why they were being imprisoned and let them out quickly.
The officials didn't pay any attention to it.
As soon as they left, Boss Wei began to curse Hong Jinrong and his cheating wife.
Xie Lingjiao squatted for a while and left after feeling that there was nothing interesting to hear.
The dungeon is inside the Yamen.
Thinking that this was his first time here, Xie Lingjiao even took a sneak peek.
She thought that was all. This place was not as nice as the two family mansions where she sold ginseng before.
It turns out that the place where an official lives is not as good as that of a wealthy person? Or is it that the county magistrate is not a senior official, so he is not as good as others?
Xie Lingjiao thought for a while and finally decided not to embarrass herself.
Just ask your brother when you get back.
Xiaoqi and the others read a lot, so they must know!
Xie Lingjiao wandered into the backyard.
There are still people living here, presumably the county magistrate and his family are here?
"Sir, I was really unjustly accused of accepting bribes!"
"Look at this place, I don't look like someone who has taken money from me!"
Xie Lingjiao hid at the door.
Reveal a pair of eyes.
Seeing a chubby middle-aged man kneeling at the feet of a handsome young man inside... Huh? Wait, this low-key and luxurious outfit looks a bit familiar?
Xie Lingjiao thought about it carefully.
She quickly thought about it - this was not the hateful rich man she met that day when she went to dig for Ganoderma lucidum!
"Shuashuashua" killed so many fake civilians.
Is this now investigating people for corruption?
Look at this ordinary backyard, look at your low-key clothes, but don’t think I can’t see that they are all expensive! Compared with the one kneeling at your feet, you are obviously more corrupt!
Wei Ling lowered his eyes.
When Xie Lingjiao strongly condemned him, she seemed to sense something.
He raised his head and glanced around.
"Sir... Your Majesty?"
The magistrate of Jiafu County was crying and complaining about his grievances, with tears streaming down his face. After crying, he discovered that this distinguished man from the capital did not listen to him at all!
Instead, he was exploring something in his yard.
The county magistrate's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that the last time I borrowed five taels of silver from the king was discovered?
But he has already paid back the money!
Isn't it considered accepting a bribe to lend someone some money for a while?
The county magistrate wiped his sweat.
Ask carefully: "What's the matter, sir?"
The magistrate of Jiafu County is not very capable and does not have the courage to accept bribes.
Wei Lian didn't come here to check on him.
"Nothing."
Wei Ling's eyes stayed at the entrance of the courtyard, but he didn't find anything wrong, so he looked away and told the county magistrate his purpose of coming here.
Of course, it's on the surface.
"Master Jiang, there is no need to panic. Your Majesty and I both know who you are. This incident..."
Xie Lingjiao no longer wanted to listen to what he said next.
She clung to the courtyard wall, patting her heart in panic.
What's going on?
Did he see himself?
It shouldn’t be!
Even a god could not see through the technique she had "expended her whole life" to study in her previous life, let alone a mere mortal like this?
Impossible, impossible! Xie Lingjiao comforted herself that no one had discovered her.
But she could never forget the look in that man's eyes just now.
Too sharp.
It seemed like she would be caught the next moment.
No more.
The frightened Xie Lingjiao was not in the mood to eat anymore, so she took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, and returned home holding on to the wall with some weak legs.
……
"Fifth sister?"
Xie Xiaocao was learning calligraphy at the door. When Xie Lingjiao came back, she looked weak.
There is still sweat on my forehead!
She was a little worried and quickly stepped forward to support her: "What's wrong with you, Fifth Sister?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"No...nothing..."
Xie Lingjiao told no one the secret that she was not human in her previous life, not even her third cousin who she used to play with all day long. At this moment, I dare not let anyone know about it.
She drank the water handed over by sister Xiaocao.
With a sad face: "It's nothing, I'm just a little hungry."
"Fifth sister, please rest first, and I will cook for you right now!"
Xie Xiaocao quickly ran to the kitchen.
Not a moment later.
After hearing the commotion, his younger brother Xie Chi also came out. Seeing that his sister was so frightened, his face was extremely serious.
I went back to the room and took out a bunch of snacks that my sister loved.
Because his sister didn't want to say what happened, he didn't ask directly. Instead, he first served his sister something to eat and helped her calm down a little before asking without revealing any trace: "What have you been busy with these past two days?"
These two days?
The sweet taste in her mouth gave Xie Lingjiao some comfort in her heart. Holding her brother in her arms, she felt much safer.
Not so scared anymore.
"These past two days...I have been doing good things and doing good things!"
Think about what I did in the past two days.
Xie Lingjiao was very proud.
He said something slowly and gradually became more energetic. Slowly, he forgot about the great threat that rich people brought to him, and talked endlessly about his great achievements in the past few days.
Xie Chi listened and analyzed.
When I heard that my sister went to the backyard of the county government office, she also saw a suspicious person.
"Is this the county magistrate?" Xie Chi asked.
"County magistrate?"
Xie Lingjiao suddenly realized—those two, who are the county magistrates?
Rich people?
That's not right... If he were the owner of the yard, the place shouldn't be like her house, unwilling to spend money to repair anything.
So, the one kneeling is the county magistrate?
Xie Lingjiao was confused for a moment, and then described the environment and characters at that time to her brother.
"That man is very young?" Xie Chi quickly grasped the point.
"Yeah."
Although she disliked him, Xie Lingjiao still nodded matter-of-factly: "Looking like he is in his teens or 20s, he looks good. He can't be more than 20 years old at most!"
This is too young...
Xie Chi thought that that person might not be an ordinary official, but... wait!
Xie Chi looked up at his sister: "Sister, what did you just say?"
She didn't say anything.
Xie Lingjiao: "Just...that person is in his teens or 20s, no more than 20 at most..."
"What about the last sentence?"
“Looks good.”
Xie Chi: "..."
This was the first time he heard such a high evaluation of a man's appearance from his sister.
For a moment, Xie Chi didn't know whether to worry that his sister might be seduced by a wild man, or whether to worry about the man's identity first.
"Sister..." Xie Chi explained to his sister that a person who became an official at such a young age would not be sent to the capital to handle major cases even if he was extremely talented.
Unless he has a background.
He was also deeply trusted by the emperor.
