[Red Mansion] I want to be the chief assistant

On the first day of the opening of the Yamen, he took over the case. Which county magistrate would be happy?Although, as a scholar, you should pay attention to silence, strange power and distraction, but how can you lose the awe you should have?

Originally, the magistrate of Tian County only asked Jiang Xiancheng to go to the front of the yamen to find out about the matter, and then it was over. Who knew that Jiang Xiancheng hurried back to the magistrate's mansion after only a moment, so he said so.

Tian Zhixian frowned after hearing this and said: "So, this Bai family has actually filed a life lawsuit?" Thinking about the time, it was just before he came here to take office, and said, "Why do you keep such vicious women?" As he said that, he wanted people to be detained and tortured carefully.

Jiang Xiancheng hurriedly said: "What's the matter with such a foolish person, but she just dragged the Lin family and the Zhang family, sir, just listen to me." Then he explained in detail the dispute over property three years ago. Listen to Tianzhi County.

Tian Zhixian heard this, and said in surprise: "I heard that the Bai family lived well in Jinling, why did they go back to Jinling and go to the Yamen to show their heads?" It is not enough to wait until now.Thinking about it, he asked, "I'm afraid there is something else hidden?"

"That's right." Jiang Xiancheng handed over the pleading paper in his hand to Tian Zhixian, and said, "She came to look for her elder son, but for some reason, she saw it on the body of the elder of Lin Song's family. The purse made by the eldest son. After inquiring quietly, I found out that her eldest son had already been killed by his family, and he felt that he had nothing to rely on, so he came to report to the official and ordered the family to pay for his life."

"I'm afraid it will be silenced." Tian Zhixian carefully looked at the pleadings in his hand, which clearly stated how much money was given to her by someone from the Lin family three years ago because of Da'er's gambling debts. How much was given, and how much was given after the event was completed.Then she did something outrageous and unreasonable, and now that her eldest son died because of it, she has received retribution.There is a bright red finger print on the bottom, which belongs to Mrs. Bai, and on the side is the name of the scholar who wrote the pleading paper.

Tianzhi County looked at it, and sighed: "Retribution is true." He also thought that this scholar could write well on the paper, and his handwriting was elegant, which can be seen from the previous one. This is something to say later.

"That's not true. At that time, I only thought that the life of the Lin family's children was suffering. How could there be such twists and turns?" Jiang Xiancheng sighed.

"Can't such a conscientious family leave them at ease?" Tian Zhixian received the pleadings, and he can send people away and take them away.

Jiang County Cheng hurriedly stopped him and said: "Master doesn't know, this Lin family was originally a prominent local family, but after Lin Runzhi left, the family couldn't produce anything useful. Now that family has a county magistrate to support it." door face."

When Tian magistrate heard it, he didn't wait for him to continue, and sneered, "There are so many people who can be magistrates now?" I can look up to Lin Pang's crooked ways.

"Master is so wise, what face does that little Juren have?" Jiang Xiancheng regretted that he should not say anything about Juren Zhixian, and poking Tian Zhixian's lung tube, would it be beneficial?He hurriedly said, "However, there is one thing different about this Lin family. His family once had a Marquis. Now that the family is divided, it's for the sake of his family, right?"

Hearing this sound, Tianzhi County paused for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "But the sage Longen has succeeded in a generation of nobles. There is no noble in the future, but he was promoted from the imperial examination and won the position of Tanhua. Now he is doing The one from the doctor of Lantai Temple?"

"It's not him." Jiang Xiancheng bent even more, and said, "Although it is said that the sect has gone out, it is not good-looking after all, you see..."

The magistrate of Tian stroked his short beard and thought to himself, there was a major incident of murder and wealth in this clan, and it was not easy to face it.However, this is divided into sects after all, whether the Lin family in the capital is concerned or not is unclear.

He said: "Then what kind of situation is the Zhang family you are talking about?"

Jiang County Cheng is getting old, and he has worked hard at the top. He has been working as a small sesame official in his hometown of Gusu, and he is very clear about things in and outside the village.He didn't care much about the verdict of this case at first, but he thought that Lin Song's family was very sensible, and now he still has a little love for them.

This magistrate of Tian's nature is not to say that he is very upright, but he is also [-]% tough. If he falls into his hands, he will be killed, injured and exiled.If he can solve it by himself in the Lin clan, maybe he can earn the lives of the whole family.

When Tian Zhixian heard this, he laughed and said, "So this is the Zhang family." Uncle Zhang is still a Juren in the same inn as him. Those petty officials who sucked the bone and sucked the marrow were deceived.

"I'm afraid he doesn't know that there is such a hidden story here." After speaking, he immediately wrote a post and asked his disciples to send it to Zhang's family.

Jiang Xiancheng watched the doorstep walk away, thinking that the family could not be saved, so he stopped talking.After leaving, he went forward and detained Na Bai first, regardless of how she yelled.

The gang of yamen servants and subordinates are most capable of watching people, but seeing Jiang Xiancheng shaking his head slightly at them, they know that nothing will happen.It's just like what Jiang Xiancheng thought before, but it's just a piece of incense, who can really control who so much?

On the contrary, there is a Dian Shi named Lin, who could not be said to be in the same family as the Lin family 500 years ago.This person is the most greedy, thinking about it, he is always reluctant to part with this ready-made fat.He didn't think that the family could get away with the crime, but since ancient times, the yamen opened to the south, and no one could come in without a reason.As soon as he reported the letter first, he still worried that they wouldn't automatically send money to the door later?

The lawsuit is over, and the family fortune is gone. He just has enough to eat and have a good year.

So he made up his mind, turned his foot and walked towards Lin Song's house.Unexpectedly, as soon as he got to the door, he saw his colleague asking Lin Zhi to send him out from the main door with a worried face.Seeing him coming, they had to give each other a knowing look, and walked quickly without touching the ground, as if they were afraid that more people would see them.

Seeing this, Lin Zhi's already dark complexion became even uglier.

Lin Dianshi scolded secretly, the man was quick to see the opportunity, and when he saw Lin Zhi coming up, he pretended to be concerned and said: "You know, hey, well, get ready!" After saying that, he shook his head and pretended to leave.

As soon as Lin Zhi heard the word "ready", how could he let him go, he hurriedly stopped him, his elder brother shouted shortly, be careful, this Lin Dianshi Fang half pushed and half walked in the door.After talking for a long while and saying something neither salty nor bland, they quietly left through the back door with the money in their arms.

If you meet another half of your colleagues, you will not look good on your face.

"When did that rotten gambler die in this mansion, we didn't know." Lin Zhi almost gritted his teeth, but couldn't figure it out.

Lin Song drooped his eyelids and hummed: "What else do you know?" He said in his heart, it would be useless to kill that long follower who had missed a loophole now.He rubbed a string of Buddhist beads hanging on his wrist, and seeing his old servant enter with a low eyebrow, he asked, "How is it, what does he know?"

The old servant shook his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "I just said that it was a prostitute who embroidered this. The old servant has inquired all over, but can't find any secret door. There are also decent people over there, and there is no useful news. " After finishing speaking, he lowered his hands and stood behind Lin Song like a log.

"How can I say that?" Although Lin Pang had been a county magistrate, he had always had high eyesight but low power.Those subordinate officials who cover the sky with one hand can't wait for it, just tell him to sit down, serve him like a romantic day, and consciously become an old parent who "grows down and governs".

Now that the incident happened, he panicked first, and couldn't help but blame his father in his heart, and waited anxiously for him to come up with an idea.Seeing that his father and younger brother didn't say a word, he said with luck: "Perhaps wait for the official document from the Ministry of Officials to come down." If you are lucky, this time you will be promoted to a half-official position, which will be higher than the local magistrate , then the county magistrate still dares to embarrass himself?

"When the official document from the Ministry of Officials arrives, the situation will naturally be resolved." I'm afraid that their family will not be able to wait until this day, but it is difficult for Lin Song to say the last sentence directly.After thinking about it, my eldest son has been a county magistrate after all, even if he resigns, he can still be regarded as half an official, so it is good to try it out first, so he told him, "You go and write a post first, invite Tian Zhixian to have a drink, and see What kind of statement is it?"

Seeing that Lin Pang had taken orders to go, Lin Zhi told Xiao'er to leave too.

"The wind and rain are coming!" Lin Song sighed, his back a little hunched, and he said to the old servant who had been with him for decades, "If this test passes, my Lin family will have to get up slowly. But this If you can't make it through..." He sighed again, what can he say if he can't make it through, he has planned two generations for the Lin family, they can always pass, and they must pass.

"If the magistrate of Tian accepts the post from the elder, then nothing will happen." The old servant opened his mouth and said slowly.

Lin Song shook his head slowly, and said without hope: "The magistrate of Tian will not accept it." Those in the yamen are the most adaptable group, if today's matter can be passed with a little cost, how could it be so Many yamen servants and subordinate officials.It could only be that Tianzhi County or Jiang County Cheng sent someone, so there is room for negotiation.It's like this now, it's just that the group of people are looking at eating human blood steamed buns.

Thinking about it, he sighed softly again: "He won't answer."

Lin Song sat down slowly, slowly, took off the prayer beads on his wrist and plucked them one by one, counting round after round, Fang said: "This is always different from person to person. Scholars are different from Juren, and those who study are different from those who don't, do you think so?" The old servant had stood behind him silently for decades, neither answering nor needing him to answer.

He knew that the old man he had served for most of his life had an idea in mind.

Who said that tiger poison doesn't even eat children?
