Chapter 389

Qingluo was thinking of going to Qili Village to check on the situation of the victims, when Huang Butou said that the prefect of Lin'an Prefecture had come.

The prefect of Lin'an Prefecture?

Isn't it Shen Qing!

Qing Luo jumped up, turned around and ran towards the backyard.

This lingering Shen Qing has already cast a huge psychological shadow on her.

In her heart, he was simply more terrifying than the poisonous snake that day.

"Where are you going, sir?" Lin Liu looked at her puzzled.

What does this guy mean by running towards the backyard instead of meeting the prefect?
He didn't know anything about what happened before, and thought that the little girl was willful and reckless, and even her immediate boss didn't bother to deal with it.

That's the magistrate, just give her some small shoes to wear, can she bear it?
Qingluo looked back at Lin Liu when she heard the words, and hesitated in her heart.

To see, or not to see?

At this moment of hesitation, a group of people from outside has already rushed in.

Oh shit!

see!
Who is to blame!

Why should she be afraid of him, besides, this is on her own territory!

She gritted her teeth, turned around, and asked Catcher Huang to call out all the yamen servants to welcome the magistrate together.

Although these yamen servants are unreliable and there are few people, they are better than nothing after all.

Even Lin Si rushed over after hearing the words.

Looking at Lin Si and then Lin Liu, she felt a little relieved and asked in a low voice, "How is Rong Cheng?"

Lin Si replied: "He's injured and is still recuperating in the Zhuangzi, and he will come over when he recovers, so don't worry about it, my lord."

Qingluo smiled wryly.

She didn't think about it, what she was thinking about was how many people here were the opponents of the man in gray.

While speaking, those people had already arrived in the courtroom.

Qing Luo bit her head and raised her head, but was shocked to find that the leading man in the magistrate's uniform was not Shen Qing.

It was a strange man in his thirties.

what happened?

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, she went up to meet her, and said calmly: "Under Pingyang County Magistrate Liu Qingluo, I have met the magistrate!"

She deliberately bit the accent on the word "prefect".

However, the other party didn't respond at all, and his expression was very cold: "Oh, you are the county magistrate Liu?"

"Yes." Qingluo tentatively said, "I don't know if my lord is..."

A man who looked like a master standing beside him replied, "This is the newly appointed Lord Zhou Miaozhou of Lin'an Mansion."

Zhou Miao?

never heard of that.

He was newly appointed, so where did Shen Qing go?

Could it be that Lin Jinyu has already solved it?

Qingluo's heart is complicated, but her face is as peaceful as ever: "Oh, so it's Mr. Zhou. I don't know why Mr. Zhou is here in our Pingyang County?"

She is not interested in pleasing her boss, so she doesn't intend to be perfunctory with him.

Zhou Miao glanced at her, put her hands behind her back, looked up at the plaque above her head, and said slowly: "After I took office, I found that many people from Qili Village, Gui County were imprisoned. When the case was tried, they But he said that he was wronged, that their county magistrate bent the law for personal gain and arrested people indiscriminately. So... this official came to see for himself what was going on."

Qingluo raised her head and said: "I will ask the master to hand over the detailed case history to your lord, and your lord will understand after reading it."

"Let's not look at the case first." Zhou Miao pointed out, "Lord Liu, you must know that many people died in this case. If it is not found out, if it is heard by the Ministry of Criminal Justice and His Majesty, even I will It's hard to explain."

Qingluo said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Excellency is right, of course we need to investigate clearly."

Zhou Miao saw that she was a bit reclusive, she felt a little unhappy, and frowned slightly: "Master Liu, although I have a higher official position than you, we are officials in the same dynasty after all, and I don't want to embarrass you Yes. So, you have to show some sincerity and let this official see it."

Qing Luo and Lin Liu who was beside her looked at each other, and at the same time they understood the purpose of the prefect Zhou.

They just directly expressed their intention to come, playing the autumn wind!

When other people want to make money and get benefits when they become officials, at least they will cover it up, do something serious, and at worst, talk about it.

This guy took advantage of his subordinates as soon as he took office, and ran out to fight the autumn wind everywhere, which is simply unacceptable.

Now that you understand his purpose, it's easy to handle.

"Hehe," Qing Luo smiled, "Master Zhou is really... straightforward."

Zhou Miao's face was full of color, and she gently stroked her mustache with a hand with a finger: "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Liu, who was newly appointed in Pingyang County, is the leader of this year's Wenxiu list, and is deeply favored by His Majesty. , I wanted to see it for a long time, but I saw it today, and it really deserves its reputation!"

"Hehe, my lord, thank you."

"Although it is important to investigate the case, it is already evening and it is time for dinner. How about eating first and investigating the case tomorrow morning?" Zhou Miao suggested.

Qingluo thought for a while, then nodded: "Alright. I'll let someone arrange the adults' board and lodging."

Zhou Miao glanced at Qing Luo again, and nodded with satisfaction: "Well, very good, Master Liu is indeed a thoughtful and exquisite person."

"Hehe..." Qingluo didn't know how to answer the words, so she kept laughing dryly.

Generally, when higher-level officials come, as long as they are not excessive, they can entertain them with public funds.

How much can you spend if you eat a meal and do nothing else?

It's not like the imperial court couldn't even come up with this little money.

The salary of low-level officials is not high, like Qingluo, it is only five or sixty taels of silver a year, how can they have the money to entertain so many bosses out of their own pockets?

So Qingluo called Lin Si directly, and in front of Zhou Miao and his entourage, ordered: "You go and prepare board and lodging for Mr. Zhou and his people."

Lin Si agreed very readily, with a round face smiling: "What standard do you use?"

"Of course it's the highest standard!" Qing Luo said without hesitation, "As much money as there is in the warehouse, all of it is used to entertain Mr. Zhou. He works so hard for the case, we can't be stingy!"

Lin Si smiled like an old fox: "Understood."

He slumped down.

When the people around Zhou Miao heard this, they became excited.

Listen, I moved all the money out of the warehouse, what kind of delicacies do I have to eat to be able to do it!
Maybe a little sideshow?

The master next to Zhou Miao said: "We adults like to listen to fresh little songs the most. I wonder if there are any in Pingyang County?"

Still want to listen to the song?
Qingluo smiled: "Of course, as long as Mr. Zhou likes it, we can have whatever we want here, just don't worry, my lord."

"Well, it shouldn't be too expensive!" Zhou Miao still put on a show.

Qingluo showed two pear dimples, and smiled sweetly: "Don't worry, my lord, it will definitely not cost too much!"

Two cups of tea were served, you came and I talked for a long time, the tea was almost cold, Lin Si finally appeared: "My lord, the food is ready."

Qingluo stood up immediately, and said with a pleasant smile: "Master Zhou, I have kept you waiting for a long time, please go to the flower hall for dinner!"
