Chapter 168 What kind of person is His Majesty
In fact, the incidents in Yancheng were repeated over and over again, and what made people troubled was always the truth covered up by Chen Wanyan's death.

"I heard that Guan Shi and the others said that the magistrate of Yancheng has a good reputation in Yancheng, and he is considered a good official," Jiang Shaoyan said thoughtfully after hearing this, "If it wasn't for pretending..."

"We have checked the income of Chen Wanyan and his family, and we haven't found anything wrong with it." Lin Yan interjected at the right time, "So why he colluded with Hu Jingui and others has always puzzled me. its solution."

Although he is good at investigating and deciding cases, sometimes when he reaches a dead end, he is willing to discuss cases with outsiders such as Chongyan or Miss Jiang Si who "do not investigate the case". For example, Chongyan often asks questions that can inspire him .

The girl listened attentively and did not make a sound.

But Ji Chongyan didn't know if it was because he met Miss Jiang Si that he became more interested. He wiped the white powder on his face with a handkerchief, and said a lot more than he used to say: "Chen Wanyan came out for Hu Jingui and others Hu Jingui and others jumped from ordinary people to rich households and tyrants since they opened the bank, so things can go back to 20 years ago. What was Chen Wanyan doing 20 years ago? ?”

When the dynasty was changed 20 years ago, many things that happened in the previous dynasty would be a bit complicated to deal with in today's Dazhou.You can't use the sword of the previous dynasty to kill the soldiers of today!

Lin Yan flipped through the file in his hand and said, "Chen Wanyan was the magistrate 20 years ago."

"Since his ability is so good and his reputation is so good, even if there is no one in charge, and he won't try his best, he can survive for 20 years!" The silent girl suddenly said, " Is this county magistrate Chen just unlucky or does he just like being a county magistrate?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Yan's face changed slightly, as if thinking of something, he suddenly got up and walked out.

The girl smiled, didn't speak any more, just stretched out her hand and yawned, then went down with Xiangli to rest.

It was hard work to drive all night. After the girl left, Lin Yan went back and forth with a stack of files about Chen Wanyan: "Chongyan, what Miss Jiang Si said just now reminded me that Chen Wanyan is such a capable county magistrate. Even with eyes closed, it is his turn to be promoted in terms of seniority, if he doesn't want to be promoted, maybe everything will start with Chen Wanyan."

Ji Chongyan nodded, stroked the wooden hairpin in his hand, and said to Lin Yan: "Chen Wanyan was an official who entered the imperial examination in the previous dynasty. Although the exact rank cannot be checked, he was born as a Jinshi in the two rankings. It stands to reason that such a A person sent to Jiangnan Road to be a county magistrate should be just for experience. Especially when he is in power, no matter which city the county magistrate has done well, so it is a bit strange that he is not promoted no matter whether it is the previous dynasty or the current one."

Lin Yan nodded and hummed thoughtfully.

At this time, it was past half of the night, and it was time to rest, Ji Chongyan waved away people.

When he was about to leave, Lin Yan suddenly turned around and said to Ji Chongyan: "Chongyan, do you feel that Miss Jiang Si seemed to want to say something, but didn't say it?"

Are you hesitant to talk?Thinking of the girl's reaction when he and Lin Yan mentioned Chen Wanyan just now, Ji Chongyan was silent and did not speak.

"She is different from people like me who are often involved with cases, and may have different opinions." Lin Yan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "But Miss Jiang Si doesn't want to say, it's a pity!"

……

……

After driving in the middle of the night, he made up for half a day's sleep, and Jiang Shaoyan got out of bed and went to the kitchen at noon the next day.

I heard that the small steamed buns made for supper last night went into Ji Chongyan's stomach. Under Ji Chongyan's strong request, Jiang Shaoyan made another steamed steamed dumpling today.

But this time, I only made the pure meat stuffing that Ji Chongyan likes.

In Dazhou, steamed stuffed bun and jade pointed noodles are actually the same kind of thing, the top of the steamed stuffed bun is pinched, and when it leaks out, it becomes the jade pointed noodles.Therefore, it is not a big problem that Xiaolong Guantang Bao is called Yujian Noodles.

Under Jiang Shaoyan's training, Xiao Wu did not need her order to prepare the meat. Jiang Shaoyan moved a small horse and sat by the small stove to watch the stewed pork skin.

Everyone who just made Xiaolongtangbao once two days ago is already familiar with it, and Xiangli doesn't need her to give extra guidance when she helps mix the flour and knead the dough.

While Jiang Shaoyan was shaking the cattail fan in her hand, and drinking the sour plum drink she brought to boil the pork skin, Ji Chongyan came over.

"Miss Jiang Si!" Today Ji Chongyan did not put on white powder to pretend to be sick like last night in the middle of the night, but was dressed in an ordinary way. He was wearing a blue shirt and long robe, and upon closer inspection, it was somewhat similar to that day's picture-scrolling attire. .

Jiang Shaoyan looked at his empty earlobe for a moment, and thought: There is still something missing from that day.

"Senior Ji." Jiang Shaoyan nodded to him, pointed to the little Maza beside him, and said, "Sit down!"

Ji Chongyan nodded and sat down.

"I heard that you like to eat Yujian noodles filled with soup, so let's make it again today." Jiang Shaoyan said after he sat down.

Hearing this, Ji Chongyan couldn't help but smiled and said "yes" and then said: "Miss Si cooks well, I like to eat them all."

Jiang Shaoyan couldn't help but sneer when she heard the words: Xiaobaicai is pretty good at talking, much better than his brother-in-law!
Speaking of this... Jiang Shaoyan paused slightly for shaking the cattail fan, then suddenly raised her eyes to look at him and said, "I heard that His Majesty loves you very much."

When the word "pain" is used, it is naturally not the emperor's relationship with his close ministers, but his uncle's nephew.

After hearing this, Ji Chongyan nodded and said, "Yes, uncle is very kind to me."

This kind of good is not only the good that the uncle and nephew should have, but also the reason of pity for his mother's early death.

That's it... Jiang Shaoyan nodded and didn't say much.

Seeing that Jiang Shaoyan didn't say much, Ji Chongyan thought for a while and spoke again: "My grandparents are very sensible. When my mother married my father, the two elders even came forward to persuade them in person. It's a pity that my mother was trapped by love and insisted on marrying my father. "

She actually knows all of this.Jiang Shaoyan paused for a moment while shaking the cattail fan, and then said to Ji Chong, "If it wasn't for that, there wouldn't be you."

"That's right, there won't be me either!" Ji Chongyan sighed with emotion, and smiled wryly, "But it's also because of this reason, even if my uncle becomes the supreme emperor, he can't do anything to my father."

Many things in this world are beyond the control of the emperor.

When Jiang Shaoyan heard the words, she frowned slightly, and after drooping her eyes for a long while in silence, she glanced over Ji Chongyan's face that was very similar to General Zhao and Princess Zhaoyun, thought for a while, and said: "In In your eyes, what kind of person is His Majesty?"
