Su Chang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What are you talking about, how can you let your lord eat the same food as us vulgar people? I'll let them find something better."

Yuan Run said: "What's the matter? I just want to taste what everyone eats on weekdays. You don't give me the same food as you, is it because your food is too good, or is it not good? If the former, you It would be too stingy not to give it to me, if it is the latter, it seems that the subsidy of the yamen will not allow everyone to eat chaff and swallow vegetables? Could it be that someone is full of private bread?"

What he said made Su Chang's face flushed, he hurriedly said that he didn't dare, so he ordered the dinner to be served, and asked people to bring more dishes for Yuan Run and Ruan Yuzhu to eat.

Yuan Run took a look and saw that there were no big fish or meat, but there were slices of meat that were added to the dishes to add some fishy smell. He thought that this Yunlai County is located at the border with the Qi State, and no one would dare to mess around, so as not to cause any trouble. Unexpected changes, otherwise it would be impossible to redeem.

So a small table was set up, and Su Chang and Lizheng from Baishui Village were also here to accompany them. The four of them sat on one side of the table, which was just right.

After eating, after a while, someone came to report that the uncle of the Wang family had come!

The uncle of the Wang family, named Wang Nai, is 48 years old this year. He married the Li family, and his daughter Wang Yueyan married Li Kun, the nephew of the Li family.But Li Kun's eldest brother, Li Long, and Wang Nai's younger brother, Wang Ding, are political enemies, and it seems that Wang Ding repeatedly made Li Long suffer from being dumb, which made Li Long so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger. He wrote a letter asking his younger brother to give Wang Yueyan a rest up.

Wang Nai immediately brought him to the door to ask for his daughter's dowry, but Li Long was a censor, and his life was not as good as Wang Ding, a guerrilla general. Wang Yueyan was extravagant and had already spent all of it.

How could Wang Nai suffer from this loss, so the dispute between the two families became more and more serious, and finally formed a fight of thousands of people.

It is said that the Li family is not as wealthy as the Wang family. Li Long dared to let his younger brother divorce his wife. It could be said that he was angry for a while. manpower.

But now, the two families have also seen clearly that the new county magistrate pinpointed the points very accurately, and the two families had to admit defeat.

Wang Nai came early because he felt that he still had the upper hand, and he didn't pay much attention to Yuan Run. He felt that it was enough to give Yuan Run face by being there, and Yuan Run would definitely take advantage of the situation to get off the donkey.

A small county magistrate, even if he was born in the number one scholar, can fight against a general?

My younger brother is a guerrilla general!

In the Great Wei State, there are no more than twenty generals in the entire country.

So Wang Nai came to Yuan Run very calmly, and said that he was his younger brother, Wang Guerzilla, and asked Yuan Run to teach a lesson to the Li family who divorced his wife for no reason.

Yuan Run expressed his position very clearly - if he wanted to sue the Li family for divorce without reason, he could write a complaint and hand it over, but he must be severely punished for fighting privately.

Wang Nai was furious, and was about to say something to support the scene, when suddenly someone came to report that Li Long's father Li Chengdong had come.

Seeing the "enemy" coming, Wang Nai couldn't say anything more, just stared at Li Chengdong to see what the other party had to say, but he didn't expect the Li family to be very talkative, saying that they were willing to hand over five hundred people who participated in the fighting. As well as one of his grandsons as the leader, let the Yamen punish him.

Yuan Run was very satisfied: "Master Li is very supportive of the Yamen, and I feel deeply about it. Your grandson will not have to go to labor. 500 people are enough to meet half of the next labor, and it also reduces the burden on the people. Really good."

Seeing this, Wang Nai was helpless, knowing that the other party had already made a decision, so he could only do so on his side, otherwise he would suffer a loss on his side.Don't look at the Li Wang family as a big family in a small frontier county like Yunlai, but in the capital, their level is also just an insignificant role, even Wang Ding of the guerrilla general.

So the final result was that Wang Nai also agreed to hand over [-] house slaves for hard labor—here in the frontier, the most hard labor was repairing city walls, digging moats, and even building fortresses.

This kind of work usually produces a thousand strong men in one county, and it is enough for several counties to gather together. Now there are so many "prisoners" serving in Yunlai. Going to do hard labor, the people can naturally do lighter work, which can be regarded as giving the people a comfortable fallow period, and they don't have to come out to do hard labor.

Anyway, Yuan Run and Ruan Yuzhu left here after the matter was dealt with swiftly and messily. People go back to Yamen together.

Along the way, Su Chang asked the two of them about Mo Chengchen's case. It's not that the two didn't believe Su Chang, but they kept it from him for the sake of putting on a show, and only said that Mo Chengchen was sentenced to death— —Even if Su Chang complains in the future, he can still tell him that he can't favor one person over another, and Gao Zhishan and He Leshui can't hide it, but instead tell him the truth.

Along the way, it was still early when they returned to the yamen, and Yuan Run and Ruan Yuzhu just happened to read Li Yunyan's visits and investigations on this old case in recent days.

"Well, the investigation of Zhu Laosi was added. This is where the yamen was careless before. This time Li Yunyan also made up for it-it seems that Li Yunyan and the others will not make such mistakes again in similar cases and situations. Bar.

Investigating all the suspicious clues of the deceased is a normal search method in modern times, but in ancient times, it seems that everyone still only focused on the present, only looking for things that were superficially related to the case, and turned a blind eye to irrelevant clues.

However, if most of the clues here were searched a year ago, they would definitely have a direct impact on this case. The source of the fourth child's huge wealth is unknown, and it has long since lost its meaning. I am afraid that the source behind him has been cut off long ago.

But fortunately, there was finally one thing that caught Ruan Yuzhu's eyes and could be used to induce a confession.So I hurriedly discussed with Yuan Run, a few details were quickly finalized, and finally I had to decide how to implement it—where to start, where to end, let's go to the Literature Museum!

There will not be too much pressure on the real murderer, and it can be used as a reason, that is to visit Moran.

In the afternoon of the next day, the two went to the Literature Museum alone, and no one was allowed to follow, even Li Yunyan was not allowed to follow, in case the real culprit was on guard.

Su Chang and Li Yunyan also knew that nothing would happen in the city, so they didn't worry too much, so they let them go. After two days of busy work, Li Yunyan thought that she didn't find anything of value, so she was also a little discouraged. Cold, sullenly staying in the yamen, not wanting to go anywhere.

Ruan Yuzhu and Yuan Run didn't take it seriously, so they went to the Literature Museum together again.

Dr. Tong was reviewing books with the scholars that day, when he heard the porter report that the county magistrate was coming again, he came out in a hurry, even the scholars didn't have time to line up, they came out in a chaotic swarm, and greeted the county magistrate one after another.

Yuan Run hurriedly asked them not to be formal, saying that he came to visit in private this time, and apologized for starving the scholars, but everyone dared not dare to welcome Yuan Run in.

Yuan Run said to Dr. Tong as he walked, "That Moran, is he still working in the Literature Museum?"

Dr. Tong said: "You're still there, sir, do you need to find her?"

Yuan Rundao: "Her father was convicted of manslaughter again. I don't think she is very old, and it is not safe to show her face outside. It is better to let her work in my yamen. I happen to be short of a document. Let her do it for me." Let me tidy up my files."

Dr. Tong said: "Yesterday, because her father was convicted of wrongful injury again, she cried all day. Do you want to wait two more days to tell her?"

Yuan Run nodded — originally she was using this to further relax the real culprit — and didn't say any more, but said that she would invite all candidates to lunch to make up for the missed meal last time.

Everyone didn't even dare to say that they didn't dare, Yuan Run also laughed and laughed, but he still resolutely took out ten pennies and asked people to host three banquets, which were placed in the Literature Museum.

Dr. Tong wanted to say that the Literature Museum is a place to study, and it is not good to hold a big feast, but seeing Yuan Run's high spirits, he couldn't say it out—after all, he is the magistrate of the county, and he clearly refused. Will not offend each other.

Although the status of the gentlemen of the Literature Museum is detached, but a small role like him who makes a living at the county level can't be compared with the group of people in the Imperial College, right?

Not long after, Qiyun Pavilion specially sent two cooks and a few helpers over, and brought all kinds of ingredients for raw and cooked dishes, and then they cooked in the back kitchen of the Literature Museum.

Then Yuan Run asked someone to invite Mr. Song, the lecturer who is taking a break at home today—the three lecturers are all on duty, and only Dr. Tong is here every day, which is also a hard work for him.

"I saw Mr. Song and Mr. Qiu last time. It's the first time meeting Mr. Tu today. I hope you don't be too polite." Yuan Run said to Lecturer Tu who met for the first time today.

Mr. Tu hurriedly bowed back, saying "I dare not".

After a while of politeness, three tables were set up for the students to sit down, while Yuan Run and Ruan Yuzhu were at the same table with Dr. Tong and the lecturers.

When Mr. Song arrived, the cold dishes and cold dishes just started to be served.

"Everyone, I wish you good luck in the county examination next year. As long as you pass the county examination, you can go to the county examination. If you become a juren, you will return home with a good clothes." Yuan Run first raised his glass to all the students.
