Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 41
Today, the officials of the county government were receiving their salaries, and Yi Shuyuan arrived very early, after all, he didn't sleep at all.

Yi Shuyuan, who came out of the counting office of the county government office, was obviously in a better mood. It could be seen that the county government office still took good care of him, and he received a total salary of four or two hundred cash.

If it was Yi Shuyuan who just came to this world, he might have no idea about this money, but now he would shout in his heart, "A huge sum of money is guaranteed!"

There is no upper limit on what luxuries and the like can be bought, and if it is only used to meet basic needs, it is not an exaggeration to say that this amount is enough to buy food for ordinary people for a year.

Of course, if it is really converted into actual purchasing power, it may be the general salary level of the previous life, but compared with the level of other people here, it is definitely not bad.

Today is Xiumu again, so of course Yi Shuyuan went straight to the Tongxin Building to satisfy his appetite first.

But a yamen servant who hurried over disrupted Yi Shuyuan's plan, before he arrived at the side of the room, the voice of shouting had already been heard.

"Mr. Yi, Mr. Yi! The county lord wants you to go to the government office quickly!"

The yamen servant came in a hurry, and he was panting slightly when he ran in front of Yi Shuyuan. Yi Shuyuan's first reaction was that Lin Xiu wanted to read the county chronicles he compiled, and he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

Why is the leader here like to watch the work progress during the holidays?

But what the yamen servant said next let Yi Shuyuan know that he wanted to go wrong.

"Mr. Yi, there are people coming from Yuezhou City. It's about Jia Yuntong's case. The county lord wants you to go there quickly!"

Yi Shuyuan frowned slightly knowing the importance of the matter, said "go", and walked quickly towards the county magistrate's office, and the yamen servant naturally rushed to catch up with Yi Shuyuan to lead the way.

While still on the road, Yi Shuyuan asked about some details, and learned that the governor of Yuezhou sent many people over to learn about the details of the case from Lin Xiu face to face, and Yi Shuyuan, as a key figure in the development of the case, , naturally cannot be absent.
-
After all, the county magistrate's office is also within the scope of the county government office, and Yi Shuyuan and the government officials are in a hurry, so they arrived after a while.

It was a separate courtyard, and the two of them had already seen at least a dozen officials in strange attire when they arrived at the gate. They were all dressed in dark green outfits and wearing knotted headdresses, and most of them were holding professional knives of the standard , but there are also people who wear chains around their waists or carry special sticks on their backs.

It seemed that they heard the footsteps of the two people. Many people looked outside the door. Yi Shuyuan ignored those people, but went straight to the direction of the reception hall. Apart from a few officials from the county government, he could see Several people, the leader wearing a long-winged hat, should be an official from Yuezhou.

When Yi Shuyuan arrived at the door, he had already bowed to Lin Xiu first.

"My lord, Yi is here!"

Seeing Yi Shuyuan coming, Lin Xiu subconsciously got up from his seat.

"Mr. Yi, come in quickly, come here, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Yi, Mr. Yi, this is Mr. Li, the general judge of Yuezhou. Doorman!"

When Yi Shuyuan entered the door, all eyes were on him, and the yamen servant who followed him at every step became a transparent person, standing cautiously on the side at the moment, not even daring to speak.

In contrast, Yi Shuyuan bowed his hands and bowed to several high-ranking Yuezhou officials in a graceful manner.

"Yi Shuyuan, a civil official in Yuanjiang County, has met several adults!"

Yuezhou Tongpan and several police officers were looking at Yi Shuyuan up and down, and the former asked with a soft snort.

"Hmph, are you the Mr. Yi who can see ghosts?"

Yi Shuyuan frowned and raised his head. His tone was not very polite. He glanced at the case table from the corner of his eye. The case file from that day was being spread out on it. Obviously, it had been read several times.

However, Yi Shuyuan was not in a hurry, and after answering with a respectful attitude, he turned to Lin Xiu again.

"It's me, Master Lin, I don't know why you recruited me here, my lord?"

Yi Shuyuan asked the question knowingly, but it seemed that he still had to do it, and it was also convenient for Lin Xiu, the county chief official, to take back the initiative.

But before Lin Xiu could speak, Master Li from Yuezhou had already spoken first.

"According to the file, you were the one who spoke on behalf of the female ghost He Xin in this case? Is there such a thing?"

Yi Shuyuan complained in his heart about the authority of the official, but nodded on his face.

"That's true."

"Then you let that female ghost go up and talk about it?"

This was obviously a bit difficult for others, and Wu Minggao on the side bit the bullet and opened his mouth to make a rescue.

"My lord, it is difficult for ghosts to enter the county government office, and it is daytime, so it is definitely difficult for ghosts to show up, and ghosts don't come when they are called."

Yi Shuyuan also spoke.

"Master Wu's words are true, but even if Miss He is not here, Jia Yuntong's confession cannot be faked here, and there are some things that need to be checked to find out the authenticity."

"Hmph, it's clearly written in the file that Jia Yuntong was tortured before pleading guilty, so it's not guaranteed that he was tortured into a trick?"

"Master Tongju is too arbitrary. This person's refusal to arrest and injure others caused my county government to lose a lot of good hands. It's only normal to bring him to the government to be punished!"

The person who spoke was the county lieutenant of Yuanjiang County. His shoulder injury was still not healed, and he was wearing a cloth rope on one arm. It was more convincing to say this.

But someone beside the general judge sneered in a low voice: "A good player?"

This remark had a double meaning, which aroused the county lieutenant's heart to be angry, and he looked fiercely at the person who made the statement. Just as he was about to speak, the county magistrate of Yuanjiang County, who Yi Shuyuan was not very familiar with, immediately came out to speak.

"Uh, it's all right, everyone is doing things for the court, don't hurt your peace!"

The master on one side also quickly echoed.

"Yes, we are discussing the case, don't hurt your peace!"

Lin Xiu took a deep breath.

"This case has its own explanation from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so you don't have to worry too much about it, Mr. General."

Yuezhou Tongju frowned and glanced at everyone in Yuanjiang County.

"Lin Xiu, you don't know who the Wuzhou judge is. You should know that the former governor of Wuzhou is the current minister of officials. How can you convince your superiors? Just rely on this file of ghost justice?"

If it was another Beijing official, Lin Xiu might not know it, but the Ministry of Officials is responsible for the evaluation of officials from all over the country, and although the Minister is the chief official, he only has an overview of the overall situation. May not be clear.

As for what went wrong?Tong San didn't say it clearly, but even Yi Shuyuan could think of it.

Indeed, for the people in the Yuanjiang County Yamen, this case is a personal experience, and naturally everyone believes it, but for others, especially the officials above, this kind of content statement is somewhat absurd.

Seeing that the county magistrate was silent, Yi Shuyuan spoke.

"If Lord Tongju doesn't believe it, you can ask the guards who were there that night, and go to the dungeon to ask Jia Yuntong himself. I believe this person will not retract his confession."

"Hmph, I'll ask you without you telling me!"

Saying that, Yuezhou Tongju sighed and said to the county magistrate who had an uneasy face.

"Lin Xiu, the battle between the government and the opposition is the most dangerous. I'm also afraid that you will be involved in it by mistake, because this matter has been used as a knife. I have also seen your evaluations over the years. Although you have no achievements, there is nothing wrong with it. Don't blame me for not reminding you, no matter what the outcome of this case is, it will be difficult for you to be alone."

As if provoked by this sentence, Lin Xiu was angry in his heart, and the aura of his whole body moved, which made Yi Shuyuan feel that his body was a little bright, but he didn't say anything too excited.

"The lower officials know what they are doing. Thank you, Mr. Tong, for your concern!"

Yuezhou Tongju shook his head and said nothing more.

"Come on, take me to the dungeon!"
-
A group of people came to the dungeon very quickly, but the people who came from Yuezhou City took over the defense of the dungeon almost at the same time, and each occupied some key guard posts of the dungeon. It was a little embarrassing to scold these people.

Lin Xiu followed Yuezhou Tongjuan and asked with a frown.

"My lord, why is this?"

Yuezhou Tongju took a look at him.

"With the remaining servants in the Yuanjiang County Government, how can we talk about defense? I'm taking care of it for the time being."

If the tone of the official is overwhelmed, if the tone was aggressive just now, it seems that some comers are not friendly now. The officials in Yuanjiang County are not good at attacking in person, so they can only temporarily admit it by maintaining a calm surface.

In the dungeon, the head of the cell, the Sixth Master, still has that kind of air of dominance in the prison, like a courteous pawn walking in front to clear the way for these big men.

"My lords, we are just ahead, and Jia Yuntong is at the very inside!"

The officials who were next to Yuezhou Tongjuan were all attracted by the people who were shrunk in another cell, and some people couldn't help but yelled.

"Gibbon Sun Shiwan?" "Yeah!"

"You didn't admit your mistake?" "There's no mistake, this guy has several lives on his back, but he was caught and locked up here unexpectedly!"

"He actually protects Jia Yuntong?" "Hmph, let's settle the old and new grudges this time, and let him have a taste of our tricks!"

A few people walked by amidst the discussion, while the master of the rivers and lakes in the prison remained silent, his expression very gloomy.

Soon, everyone reached the end of the dungeon. Jia Yuntong was still huddled in that corner, but He Xin who heard the movement had already turned to the door first. Seeing so many people, especially these fierce fighters, subconsciously retreated slightly .

But when he saw Yi Shuyuan and Lin Xiu in the crowd, He Xin immediately showed joy and bowed to them.

"He Xin, the daughter of the people, has met Mr. Lin, Mr. Yi, Mr. Yi, Mr. Lin can't hear you, tell him I saluted!"

Yi Shuyuan nodded slightly, but he didn't intend to speak, and He Xin didn't dare to urge him, so he just watched from the side.

"Jia Yuntong, the lord of Yuezhou and the county lord are here to see you, come out quickly!"

"Don't come to me, don't come to me, it's just an errand."

Jia Yuntong responded tremblingly.

"Jia Yuntong, come out!"

"Don't look for me don't look for me."

The cell boss yelled this sentence several times in a row, and the people in Yuezhou frowned and said in a low voice.

"If this person is a lunatic, the testimony is unlikely to count."

Several people in the Yuanjiang County Yamen felt a little nervous at this meeting. They didn't want Jia Yuntong to really go crazy, so Lin Xiu immediately ordered.

"Open the cell door and pull him out!"

"It's an adult!"

The prison head immediately opened the iron door, hesitated to scan the inside of the prison, whispered a few words "don't blame", and then pulled Jia Yuntong out of the withered grass where he was hiding with another yamen servant.

"No, don't look for me."

Jia Yuntong struggled violently, thinking that the ghost had appeared, but when he was forced to turn to the door, he saw Yi Shuyuan for the first time, and suddenly seemed to see the savior.

I don't know where the strength came from, or maybe it was the huge advantage of weight, Jia Yuntong broke free from the prison boss and the yamen guard all at once, lay down on the door and kowtowed continuously.

"dong dong dong"

"Mr. Yi, please save me, save me, let the ghost not be entangled, I can't stand it anymore, I've recruited them all!"

"dong dong dong"

One month, the state official reached out to support Jia Yuntong's forehead firmly, and then looked at Yi Shuyuan to the side. Not only him, but other people were also looking at Yi Shuyuan.

Lin Xiu's heart moved, and he suddenly asked.

"Mr. Yi, is Miss He Xin here?"

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, even if they didn't believe it before, the combination of Jia Yuntong's madness and the current environment still had some influence.

Yi Shuyuan's face was calm, and he didn't hide anything. The aura in his body moved with his thoughts, and a wisp drifted towards the ghost, then nodded and said.

"Miss He Xin is behind Jia Yuntong!"

Yi Shuyuan's original intention was to help He Xin condense the ghost body so that she could make a sound for everyone to feel, but he didn't expect that with his movements, a strange wind would blow in the prison, blowing everyone's clothes. The corner flicked.

huh. huh.
A hazy white figure appeared faintly in everyone's eyes.

"hiss"

For a moment, everyone felt a chill rushing towards the sky, and even warriors had goosebumps.
Really ghosts!

"what--"

Jia Yuntong screamed and crawled desperately towards the door, but was immediately held down by several people outside, and the cell boss and yamen servants also ran out at this moment.
