Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 584 County Magistrate Lu Jiying

Lu Jiying was taken aback for a moment, shook his head and said, "Leaving the administration? Sir, are you talking about me?"

Wu Wendeng scolded: "Nonsense, it's not about you, could it be that I can't do it myself."

Lu Jiying pointed at herself innocently, and asked, "I, shall I leave Sanyang?"

Wu Wendeng said, "Exactly."

Lu Jiying said: "Leaving Shanyang, where did I go?"

Wu Wendeng snorted and said, "Who are you asking? Don't you remember where you went!"

Lu Jiying hiccupped twice and said: "I don't know, who said this to my lord, my lord will ask him to help me think about it when I go back, where I went, why, I don't even know."

Wu Wendeng asked back, "Oh? What does Magistrate Lu mean to say that you haven't left?"

Lu Jiying said drunkenly: "My lord, you have learned a lot. Where did you go when you left Shanyang?

A few days ago, my uncle died, and my cousin came to visit relatives. There are no other relatives in my hometown. Where else do you think I can go?
No, Humble's cousin came here a few days ago, Humble stayed at home for a few days and didn't go to the yamen to do business. "

Wu Wendeng gave him a cold look, and said in a deep voice, "That's right."

Lu Jiying said: "What's the matter, you don't believe..."

He turned to the county magistrate and said: "Go, invite my sister to the second hall to meet Master Changshi."

The county magistrate agreed to run out.

Wu Wendeng observed Lu Jiying's expression, and at this moment he was at a loss.

He coughed lightly and said, "Magistrate Lu, have you received the transfer letter from the governor's office?"

Lu Jiying hiccupped and said, "I got it, I got it. During those two days, I stayed at home with my sister, and I left all the affairs of the county to the county magistrate."

Wu Wendeng pretended to be casual and said, "You must have read Yiwen?"

Lu Jiying said intermittently: "I have seen it, then, how can I not read it?"

Wu Wendeng stared fixedly at him and said, "What did the Yiwen say?"

"Say it on the text, say..."

He patted his forehead, thinking hard: "Say..."

A sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of Wu Wendeng's mouth: "Didn't Magistrate Lu read it? What did the text say?"

Lu Jiying pretended to recall: "Say, this, Mr. Ren Dijie, the Jiangnan Road deposed envoy, will be here soon..."

Wu Wendeng burst out laughing: "What is Rendijie? The official taboo for deposing the envoy is Shangdi and Xiarenjie."

Lu Jiying hiccupped and laughed: "Yes, yes, look at the brains of humble officials. Yes, it's Shang Di and Xia Renjie, who said that the old man will be here soon, and he needs to be prepared by each office, and don't abuse him." Talk too much."

Wu Wendeng heaved a sigh of relief, nodded, and said with a gentle expression, "Magistrate Lu, I remember the last time I saw you in the Shanyang Hotel, you were too drunk.

It's like this again today, even the official taboo about dismissing the envoy is out of the question.

You are a majestic Qipin county magistrate who is so disrespectful to an official, behaves ugly, loses his temper, drinks too much, and delays official affairs. Aren't you afraid that someone will report to the Ministry of Officials for meritorious service?
At that time, your future and fame will be in jeopardy. "

Lu Jiying hiccupped again and said with a smile: "Master Chang Shi, you also listen to me to tell the truth, there are disadvantages of understanding people, and the benefits of being stupid.

Lu Jiying was originally a sensible person, but now he wants to be a foolish person, so as not to meddle in other people's affairs and cause less trouble..."

When Wu Wendeng heard this, his heart moved, and he looked at Lu Jiying.

Lu Jiying kept talking: "But you know, if you don't pour two taels of burning knives, you can't get confused when you are humble, so what can you do?
Lord Changshi, if you say that you need to be humble, then I will give up drinking from tomorrow, what do you think? "

Wu Wendeng looked at the servant waiting at the side, took a deep breath and said, "You all go down, I have something to say to Magistrate Lu."

Everyone left the second hall.

Wu Wendeng sat on the chair slowly: "What Guixian said just now has some truth. Anyway, drinking alcohol is not a big deal at all, so I won't pursue it anymore."

Lu Jiying hiccupped and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Wu Wendeng nodded and said: "Your Excellency Deposition Envoy is about to arrive. The purpose of this official's incognito visit is to check the governance situation of the counties under Yangzhou's administration, to see if the parents and officials are competent and whether the people live in peace."

Lu Jiying breathed out the smell of alcohol, and said with a big tongue: "Yes, yes, adults have hearts like snakes and scorpions... Ah, no, no, no, he cares about the people, who else is better than you, you are really a good official, are you Yan Ying, Sun Shuao, and Bailixi of the present age can be compared to Wei Baice of this dynasty..."

Wu Wendeng waved his hand and said, "After coming to Shanyang, I heard that your county had left the government privately, so I went to the Yamen to inquire. It seems that this is a misunderstanding."

Lu Jiying smiled drunkenly and said, "Yes, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Wu Wendeng said: "Ah, by the way, I remember that the night Master Li Han hanged himself, he was the first person in Guixian County to go to the scene of the death, right?"

Lu Jiying trembled all over and said, "Exactly, exactly."

Wu Wendeng fixed his eyes on Lu Jiying, and asked word by word: "Guixian, what did you see at that time?"

Lu Jiying said with an exaggerated expression: "Oh, my lord, why did you mention this paragraph again.

Hey, Mr. Li was hanging on the beam at that time, his face was purple and his tongue was red, it was really scary!Even now, I often have nightmares at night. "

Wu Wendeng pursued him closely, and forced him to ask, "Apart from Master Li's body, what else did you find at the scene?"

Lu Jiying thought for a while, then hiccupped: "At that time, the room was very messy, there were official documents and papers everywhere, and there seemed to be a charcoal brazier, which was full of paper ashes... nothing else, nothing else."

Wu Wendeng stared straight into Lu Jiying's eyes and said, "Really? Is there really no other discovery?"

Lu Jiying said: "You've made me look bad, let me have a sip of tea and think about it."

As he spoke, he walked to the coffee table next to Wu Wendeng, picked up the teacup and said, "Master Changshi, don't you want to drink this tea?"

Wu Wendeng said impatiently: "Your county, please."

Lu Jiying picked up the teacup, drank it down, then pondered for a moment and said, "It's gone, it's just such a little impression. Later, I fainted from fright."

Wu Wendeng asked urgently, "What happened to Master Li's body?"

Lu Jiying blurted out: "The governor ordered it to be incinerated on the spot."

Wu Wendeng snorted softly, looked at Lu Jiying coldly and said, "If the deposed envoy asks, is your county going to answer like this?"

Lu Jiying opened his mouth wide, and suddenly he understood: "Ah, ah... yes, it was incinerated by the order of the humble official!"

Wu Wendeng took a step forward, looked closely at Lu Jiying and said, "Why?"

Lu Jiying took a deep breath and said, "Because, because the body has been rotted in the morgue for a long time, I'm afraid it will cause a plague in the city."

Wu Wendeng smiled and nodded, "So that's the case."

Lu Jiying also laughed.

Wu Wendeng said: "Gui County, now you understand how to respond to the questioning of the deposed envoy?"

Lu Jiying bowed and replied: "Please rest assured, my lord, I understand completely."

Wu Wendeng smiled and said, "As long as your county handles this matter well, it will be prosperous in the future, and the future is boundless."

Lu Jiying cupped his hands drunkenly and said, "Thank you for your support, sir."

Before the words were finished, the county magistrate led the Ning family in.

Lu Jiying hurried over to wink at Ning, and said loudly, "Sister, come and see Mr. Chang Shi."

Ning hurriedly stepped forward and bowed profusely: "My lord, the daughter of the people."

Wu Wendeng smiled and said, "You don't need to be too polite, please get up."

Ning stood up and stood aside.

Wu Wendeng asked, "When did you arrive in Shanyang?"

Ning replied: "Five days ago. Because of her father's death, the daughter of the people came to Shanyang to join her cousin."

Wu Wendeng nodded, and said to Lu Jiying: "Your sister is beautiful and intelligent, which is very different from Gui County."

Lu Jiying hurriedly said: "Father and mother were born well, father and mother were born well."

Wu Wendeng stood up and said, "Okay, Gui County, I will leave now. You can do it yourself."

Lu Jiying said loudly: "Please rest assured, my lord, I will see you off."

Wu Wendeng waved his hand: "No need."

Said, quickly walked out the door.

Lu Jiying looked at his back, let out a long breath, and looked at Ning.

A smile appeared on Ning's face.
