Chapter 61 The county magistrate has no time to save the world

"He's right. Those are people, you are officials, and we are all officials." Wu Siyan stood at the entrance and looked at Zheng Nian, who was slumped on a chair.

Zheng Nian stared at Wu Siyan in a daze.

"Even if those three people are enough to commit capital crimes, what about Song Xiaoqi?" Zheng Nian asked, "Shouldn't people have human rights?"

"Human rights?" Wu Siyan seemed to have heard a huge joke, but she couldn't laugh. She looked at Zheng Nian blankly, "Where did you come up with this word? There is only imperial power in the world. Where does human rights come from?"

"I am their parent officer, but I don't even have the ability to keep them alive?" Zheng Nian stood up in disbelief and asked, "I will never forget the way Song Xiaoqi looked at me before he died!"

Wu Siyan was stunned, and she took a deep breath, "You... During the 200 years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, His Majesty has been in power for 23 years. Looking through the classics and documents, it is impossible to see a county magistrate like you."

"Why?" Zheng Nian was incredulous, "Can human life be so worthless? What's the difference between them and murderers?"

"The difference is that civilians are murderers when they kill, but officials can kill." Wu Siyan's eyes became determined.

"Then why are people's lives so careless!" Zheng Nian said angrily, "Is the law of the Great Zhou still useful?"

"Human lives are ignored because of different positions. The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty govern the people, not the officials." Wu Siyan sighed.

"Then who will take care of these officials!" Zheng Nian slammed his fist on the table.

"Hehe..." Wu Siyan suddenly smiled, and walked in front of Zheng Nian, "I thought the qi on your body was a handed down technique or a relic of some strong man, but now it seems that it is not the qi that makes me feel oppressed. Qi."

Zheng Nian looked at her without moving his eyebrows.

"Do you know why I let you be my apprentice?" Wu Siyan said calmly with her hands behind her back.

"I don't know." Zheng Nian shook his head.

"You let me see a familiar figure, my younger brother." A trace of tenderness flashed in Wu Siyan's eyes, which is rare, at least the entire Dali Temple has never seen such a look,
"younger brother?"

"He is very smart, just as smart as you." Wu Siyan said, "But he became the price for the truce between Wu Wei and An Wenyue. It was also that time that I left Wu Wei and completely broke with my father."

Zheng Nian didn't speak.

"He said the same thing as you, and he asked me, since all the officials are in charge of the people, then who will take care of these officials who ruin people's lives?" Wu Siyan shook her head and sighed, "At that time, my answer was bigger It seems that this is not the case now."

Zheng Nian understood what she meant. Even the son of General Wu would die in the fire and water in the struggle with An Wenyue, but what kind of thing is he, Zheng Nian?

"Zheng Nian." Wu Siyan looked at him as if she had made up her mind, "I know what you want to do, but you must promise me three things."

"Which three things?" Zheng Nian raised his head, a fire seemed to ignite in his heart, gushing out of his eyes like a dragon in an instant.

"First, no matter what, you must make careful arrangements before you act. I don't allow you to put yourself and anyone, including me, in danger."

"Second, although I am also a citizen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I don't want my people to die in the line of duty."

"Third, I don't care who you offend, but under the third rank, you will be safe."

Zheng Nian puffed up his chest and smiled, "I understand what Master means..."

"I mean, within Chang'an County, the county magistrate is the largest." Wu Siyan stood at the door with her red velvet cloak folded and said in a low voice, "Actually, you can also think about it, there are many ways to do things in this world, and it's nothing You have to do your best.”

Zheng Nian squinted his eyes, looked at Wu Siyan's back, clenched his hands, and showed an unprecedented evil smile, "If one day I even forget the 5000-year national integrity and everything the country has taught me , I might as well be dead."

"Mom, I suddenly understand what you mean."

"But good things will be done, don't ask about the future."

Guangshanlou is one of the most famous restaurants in Beijing, and it is recognized as the best restaurant.

It has only one advantage, that is, it is expensive, and because it is the most expensive, it is the best.

Expensive has its advantages, for example, the card seats here cost one tael of silver just to sit.

Zheng Nian was not only on the deck, he was also lying on the deck, but no one dared to ask him for money, because he was wearing an official uniform, the official uniform of the magistrate of Chang'an County.

Qin Feng looked at Zheng Nian who raised a glass and delivered wine to his mouth, "Is it because of this?"

Zheng Nian sat up abruptly, put the jug on the table, eyes narrowed on his slightly drunken cheeks, "You don't think it's important either?"

"I think human life is very important, but my own life is more important." Qin Feng touched his chin, "If it were me, I would not conflict with them."

The situation at that time flashed through Zheng Nian's mind. It was the moment when his world view collapsed. It is undeniable that he couldn't accept it, and even thought it was absurd. But now that he calmed down, why didn't he know what Qin Feng said?

People always have to recognize everything in front of them.

"Even if you want to do it, you have to calm down and do it yourself. You don't need to participate in court disputes, but you must understand who is right and wrong, who is entrenched in power, and whose subordinates are who. Those who can sit in this position for a long time Xin Delong, do you think he is simple?"

Qin Feng smiled, "It has nothing to do with you if they don't kill you, it's because of Master Shaoqing of Dali Temple."

Zheng Nian fiddled with the wine glass in his hand, "Today, if I go crazy and get drunk like mud, they will know that I am depressed, and there is nothing to be afraid of."

"You finally understand why Mr. Xin will give you a large number of files and Chen Zhima rotten millet." Qin Feng grinned.

"In these days, who wouldn't pretend to be stupid?" Zheng Nian smiled, and the two clinked glasses, drinking heavily.

"Congratulations." Qin Feng laughed.

"Congratulations on what?"

"Congratulations on starting today. You have officially become my colleague and entered the official ranks of the Great Zhou. The gold, silver and jewelry waiting for you tomorrow will be far more than what you have seen before." Qin Feng smiled strangely laugh.

"You seem to see through everything." Zheng Nian said suddenly.

"Hahaha, I'm just an idler." Qin Feng said softly.

Zheng Nian grinned, this is indeed a case of him stepping into the bureaucracy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if he did not act and kept quiet, even if he passed the assessment of Jin Yiwei, tomorrow's matter will be a final conclusion, so accept it calmly.

But Zheng Nian never thought of giving up the case.

Song Xiaoqi's eyes were like the last bright light in the endless darkness, pointing to the unknown road in front of him, forcing his conscience with a knife, making him walk step by step.

Zheng Nian picked up the jug, reached the first cup, and spilled it on the ground.

I thought in my heart, 'Ling'er, I don't know how big a crime you have committed, but because of greater power, you chose to compromise and cover up. You may be a capital crime, but you shouldn't be trampled like this.It was my fault for not giving you the ability to trust with iron determination. '

The second glass of wine spilled on the ground, "Butcher, you are not guilty at all. I have found out that your family left the city. Someone gave 100 taels of silver to your family of seven. You choose this, I have nothing to say."It's my fault, it's in Chang'an County, it actually scares you. '

The third glass of wine was spilled on the ground, "Zeng Guangshou, you have traveled well all the way, and your crime is unforgivable, but I did not personally send you on the road, there is nothing I can do."You deserve to die, but you shouldn't die without knowing why.It's my fault, I'm a parent officer, but I did something about my grandson. '

The fourth glass of wine spilled on the ground, "Song Xiaoqi, I don't know what secrets you have seen, but I know that your death will not be in vain. I will definitely find out your death for you."I promise you, from today on, in Chang'an County, my rules are the rules. '

"Have you figured it out?" Qin Feng watched Zheng Nian pouring four glasses of wine on the ground, and said indifferently, "What do you plan to do?"

"Women are not fun or wine is not good?" Zheng Nian laughed, and said softly, "Drink!"

He stood up, tears welling up in his eyes, and held up the jug, "The county magistrate has no time to save the world."

All in one drink.
