Since I met you, people are dying every day

The thought flashed by.If Xia Shu would be jealous, that would be a fantasy, but if not, it would not explain his abnormal behavior today.One heart seems to be immersed in warm water, one moment is tender and warm and pleasant, and another moment is astringent and sad.Ye Sirui was so entangled and argued, and it was time to mention the punishment and procuratorate.

After he put on his official uniform, he revealed his identity as soon as he entered the door, and asked the door to inform the inspector.Then someone invited him into the hall to have tea first.After a while, Menzi came over in a panic and said: "Master Ye, Mr. Zhu has complicated things today, and we don't have time. Please go to see Mr. Zheng. It's the same."

How is the inspector and deputy inspector the same?This Mr. Zhu seems to be an old and stubborn person, and he will be given a blow when he comes up.Ye Sirui had no time to think, so he answered a good word and followed him to see Zheng Qi.

Zheng Qi was also busy with work, sitting at the table yelling at his subordinates to do this and that, holding a pen in his hand, frowning, the folds in front of him were piled up like a mountain, barely showing his face.When Ye Sirui came in, the four or five people in the room ignored him, so Ye Sirui could only salute to the lord, "I'm going to punish the procurator, Si Qian, and Ye Sirui has seen the deputy procurator."

Zheng Qi finally raised her head to look at him, but her expression was not very friendly. "It's you?"

"The next official came to report."

"How can you write when the ink is so thick! Hurry up and add water!" Zheng Qi yelled at the grinder, picked up a pen and wrote, as if he had forgotten Ye Sirui's existence.Ye Sirui just stood there bowed and let him dry himself.Zheng Qi wrote a few lines, and the subordinate officer replied cautiously: "Master Zheng, is Master Ye still standing?"

"Still standing?" Zheng Qi asked in a rough voice, and then took another look at Ye Sirui, "You guys are so blind, don't you know how to arrange a chair for Mr. Qian Shi? What is it like to be unruly when I am the inspector general?" place!"

The officials came to clothe chairs for Ye Sirui, but Ye Sirui didn't dare to sit.The inspector had a lot of opinions on him, probably because of Lord Zhu's instruction. "Master Zheng, I have met you once in Pu County. I might as well ask you to tell me exactly where I offended you."

"Offended me?" Zheng Qi's subordinates moved their pens like flying, and the words in their mouths were still yin and yang. Maybe someday Master Ye will read a book."

Although it was still a run on words, it finally explained the source of Ye Sirui's encounter - leapfrogging.Mr. Zhu ordered not to investigate the second official of Jiangbei Prefecture, and put aside the interrogation of Kong Taiping, but Ye Sirui came all the way to the capital, and everyone knew what his purpose was.Now the emperor even broke the rules and handed over the fraud case of the rural examination to him. Although this was unintentional, it also made Mr. Zhu lose face.

Ye Sirui had already thought of this place before, so he dawdled and refused to come.Now that he was sure that he had not done anything else to offend anyone, he tossed the back of his robe and sat down. "Your Majesty Zheng, don't stab me with your words. As long as you have interrogated the criminals in Kong Taiping's case, you should know the clues. He accused the county of casting silver, water conservancy, taxation and grain, embezzling funds for the construction of dams, and deceiving others. Disregarding human life, if this is not considered a heinous crime, Ye Mou really doesn't know what is."

Zheng Qi choked on a sentence out of thin air, but couldn't refute it, so he gave him a hard look and stopped writing.Seeing that he didn't refute, Ye Sirui continued: "As for the case of the provincial examination, Ye did not ask for it himself. Presumably no one in the court would do such a thankless job. It's just that he bears the emperor's order, so he has no choice but to do his duty faithfully. "

"Starting to use His Majesty to suppress people again?!" The brush in Zheng Qi's hand flew out and landed on the ground in front of Ye Sirui.The ink splashed all the way, and the subordinates knelt down on the spot.Zheng Qi shouted: "What are you doing? Pick it up!"

Zheng Qi's eyes were sharp, but Ye Sirui remained calm and composed, "I am reporting the truth, and there is no other meaning. This case involves a lot, and Master Zheng must be asked to cooperate."

He said this bluntly, but Zheng Qi calmed down, took the brush, and started writing again. "Master Ye, since you think you are a straightforward person, we will stop playing around. How do you want me to cooperate with you?"

"I want to look at the test papers of the eleven exams in Pu County, and it's better to have a few other exams for comparison. If you don't read the test papers, it's hard to judge whether they can win the exam at their level." Ye Sirui slightly Jia explained that he swallowed the fact that the Ministry of Rites had seized the papers, and he didn't want Zheng Qi to know that he had gone to Shuntian Mansion first. "The one who hanged himself had a fellow countryman called Li Xinghuan who was rushing to take the exam with him. He probably returned to his hometown after failing the exam. I want to ask him something."

Zheng Qi kept his head buried in writing, and without raising his head when he finished speaking, he said in a businesslike tone: "I will greet the Ministry of Rites, and I will also send someone to find that person."

Although the meeting was not very pleasant, but the things that should be done have been done, and it is nothing at all to suffer a few sarcastic remarks.And he knew very well that Zheng Qi agreed to these matters without reporting to Lord Zhu for approval at all. Either Master Zhu thought of agreeing in advance, or Master Zhu asked him to decide the matter with full authority.No matter what the situation was, Ye Sirui felt that it was much better than dealing with Mr. Zhu directly.

After finishing the work, Ye Sirui decided to leave.It's just that the Prosecutor's Office is different from Shuntian Mansion. After all, it's his own lawsuit. It's too merciless to leave after finishing the work.He hesitated, and sat there without moving.Zheng Qi finished writing another official letter, saw that he was still sitting there, and said, "Master Ye must not know where his yamen is, so you take him there." He pointed at a subordinate official, who bowed Go forward and lead the way.Ye Sirui really didn't expect that they really prepared a Yamen for him, so he could only follow with a wry smile.

The procuratorial department has its own investigation area for the affairs of the procuratorate, usually in the local state government or county government, and there are only a few times a year to report the case and need to go to Beijing, so generally there will be no one in the procuratorial department. Office yamen.Ye Sirui followed this person to an independent wing room, the subordinate officer took her to the second room on the right and stopped, bowed and said: "Here we are."

Ye Sirui thanked him, and then asked him: "I don't know who are the adults around?" There must be other things happening here, right?

"Back to my lord, there are other affairs in the house, such as military preparation, education, patrolling the sea, Qing army, post transmission, farming and other affairs, all work here." After answering, the subordinate officials bowed and left.

It was only then that Ye Sirui realized that he had made a mistake. There were full-time personnel in the Procuratorate's division, and they also used the name of the police, but they were of a much lower level than the police officers in the state capitals.Arranging him here is not considered kind, but if it is making things difficult, why bother to prepare the Yamen?He went into the house on his own. The room was not big, but the layout was quite delicate, and it had everything you need.Xu just sorted it out, the furniture is still clean, and there are not many books on the table, but there are some local chronicles, four books and five classics on the cabinet.There were no officials in the room, so Ye Sirui went around and sat down on the official hat chair behind a few cases, his whole body relaxed, and suddenly felt exhausted, so he couldn't help but let out a deep breath.

Just sat in the new yamen for a while without any reason.Ye Sirui suddenly understood what Zheng Qi meant: since there is an office, he has to start in the morning and sit in the office every day to handle official duties like other officials of the Procuratorate.However, other people have official duties, but his official duties are outside the Yamen.Zheng Qi didn't want him to run around and disobey the holy orders, so he came up with this method.

But he had already confronted Zheng Qi face to face, so how could he be trapped by a small yamen?Thinking of this, Ye Sirui stood up and walked out.As soon as he walked into the courtyard, an official who had seen Zheng Qi came forward and saluted, "Where is Master Ye going?"

Seeing that his conjecture was confirmed, Ye Sirui stopped laughing and said calmly, "Of course I went to investigate the case."

"Your Excellency Ye is proposing punishment for the affairs of the procurator Siqian, why don't you wait in the yamen for orders?"

How could a small subordinate official have the courage to question himself if he hadn't been instructed by the Shangguan?Ye Sirui put on a serious face, "This official is ordered by the Holy Order to handle the case, and anyone who obstructs the handling of the case will be regarded as disobeying the Holy Order. Who are you, dare to stop the official from leaving the government to handle the case? Can you bear the crime?"

Of course, the subordinate officials couldn't afford it, so they quickly pleaded guilty.

"Get out of the way if you know the crime! The subordinate officials are not working under the chief official, but ran out to point fingers. Be careful, I will read you a copy when I meet Mr. Zheng!" Ye Sirui scolded angrily, intentionally saying that coming out to stop him was his own behavior, and finally Drive the subordinates away.

The subordinate officer ran away in a hurry, presumably to complain to Zheng Qi.However, when Ye Sirui talked about this, it was impossible for Zheng Qi not to go down this level, let alone question Ye Sirui in person.

Ye Sirui was in a good mood when he left the Inspectorate, he stopped the passing vendors and asked about the location of an inn.

Ye Sirui used Mandarin, but the peddler didn't know how to speak Mandarin, so he had to talk and gesture. Ye Sirui finally figured out that there was an inn near the suburbs of Beijing, not too close.That being the case, how did He Ying meet him by chance in the most prosperous area of ​​the capital?

Perhaps it was not an excuse for him to say that he had something to do today.It was getting late, and it was too late to reach the suburbs of Beijing, so Ye Sirui went back to Zhuangyuan Building.It doesn't matter this time, as soon as he entered the room, the waiter grabbed him as if seeing a savior, and the shopkeeper folded his hands together, "Amitabha, Amitabha, you are finally back, my lord."

"What happened?" Ye Sirui asked.

"The old man under your command had a conflict with Mr. Xie Qing, and he is going to do it! Go and have a look!" The shopkeeper pointed to a room behind the lobby with trembling fingers.

What happened to Xia Shu?Did it really conflict with those testers?It must be that Xie Qing came to provoke again, Ye Sirui's heart was suspended, and he rushed forward full of anger.
