Chapter 106 I Won’t Scare This Dog Official to Death
Lu Wanyin leaned over and turned two pages with Xie Jingci's hand.
She clicked her tongue: "This old man is really bold, eating out from so many restaurants at the same time, he's not afraid of being stuffed to death."
Just looking at the personal connections above, there are several of them.
Lu Wanyin asked: "How can we know whose dog he is?"
She wanted to take action against every family.
I’m afraid that the noise will be too loud and alert the enemy.
"That's not difficult."
Xie Jingci pulled out a few chapters from the pile of letters. "Since there's someone above them, it's inevitable that they'll be involved in dirty tricks. Whenever these cases reach a critical juncture, a witness always pops up, and the case is hastily closed."
He flipped through two more pages of the file and showed them to her, "And there are these few people. They appear too frequently, and the time coincides perfectly with the time of these letters."
Lu Wanyin was too lazy to understand the ins and outs of it, but she could still understand it by listening.
She asked: "Is this a goal?"
Xie Jingci put down the file and said, "My guess is that the Ministry of Rites has something to do with it."
He tapped the tabletop lightly with his slender fingertips. "I'll arrange for someone to deliver a letter to the capital, focusing on investigating the people in the Ministry of Rites. You should get a reply by tomorrow at the latest."
After saying this, he flipped open the written petition and said, "It's a pity that this petition is destined to be useless."
“Who says it’s useless?”
Lu Wanyin smiled and pushed the pile of files aside, leaving half of the desk empty.
Then, a pile of official seals poured out.
Xie Jingci was startled.
Even though he held a high position, he had never seen such a scene.
Various official and private seals piled together give off a cheap vibe.
Xie Jingci paused for a moment before finding his voice again: "Madam even took the official seal with her."
"Then even if we can't exchange it for silver, we can still make them go hungry for several days."
Lu Wanyin rummaged through a pile of official seals for a long time: "If I wasn't afraid that the emperor would get desperate and do something stupid, I would take his imperial seal as well."
Xie Jingci held his forehead with his hand.
Lu Wanyin is now becoming more outspoken when talking about the emperor.
He felt that he was almost getting used to it.
Finally, Lu Wanyin found what she wanted: "Ministry of Rites, right?"
She directly touched the official seal of the Minister of Rites and stamped it vigorously on the petition: "I will scare this bastard official to death."
She didn't want to alert the enemy and attract the attention of several major families in the capital.
But a small county magistrate...
He is also worthy of being called a snake
This is just a small loach at best.
Although Xie Jingci couldn't guess Lu Wanyin's plan at once, he had a rough idea: "You want him to lose his composure."
"That idiot has no cunning in his heart, what can he possibly do?"
Lu Wanyin waved her slender fingers in front of him: "Everyone knows that the official seal of the Minister of Rites has been stolen a long time ago. My husband, don't you want to know where this dog official hid the money he extorted from the people?"
Xie Jingci burst out laughing.
As expected, no grass grows wherever the lady goes.
The Ning County Magistrate came out of the room with a lot of anger.
He was just about to send someone to get the best doctor in the county to treat Peng Juncai's eyes.
Before he had taken two steps, he saw a yamen runner rushing towards him in a hurry.
"My Lord, this is not good, this is not good."
The county magistrate was so anxious that his mouth was foaming.
Hearing this voice, he became even more furious: "What are you shouting about? Is the sky falling? Go get a doctor!"
The yamen runner said with a sad face: "Sir, it's like the sky fell and the study was robbed. This is all that's left."
The county magistrate's mind buzzed: "Book, study"
There are all kinds of deadly things in the study.
The county magistrate instantly forgot about his son and stumbled to the door of the study.
At first glance, I saw an empty door frame.
The door
He has such a big door.
When he entered the study in a daze, he saw that the study, which was originally luxuriously decorated, was almost reduced to just the wall.
Looking at the empty and exposed secret compartments on the wall, the county magistrate's legs went weak and he fell to the ground.
"It's over. It's all over."
If the things in here were sent up there, he would not be able to survive even if he had ten lives.
Even if his superior, the Minister of Rites, came in person, it would be useless.
The yamen runner was anxiously saying, "Sir, please take a look at this petition. This thief is targeting you, sir."
The county magistrate really wanted to slam the gavel: "Who in this hall is suing me?"
Then beat the damn thief into a pulp.
It was not until this time that he remembered the complaint in his hand.
He hadn't had time to read what was written inside.
The first thing I saw was the conspicuous official seal.
"Wasn't the official seal of the Minister of Rites stolen?"
The county magistrate was sweating profusely. "Sure enough, this damned thief has come to visit! This is over. Even if I wanted to stop him, I don't know where he is."
No, he has to go!
We can't stay in this place for another day.
The county magistrate broke out in a cold sweat.
He feigned composure and crumpled up the petition: "Go, go find a doctor for the young master."
The bailiff dared not disobey the order and left as if his butt was on fire.
As soon as he left, the county magistrate ran out like the wind.
I have to leave, leave now while no one is paying attention.
He has hidden a lot of treasures over the years, and no one knows about it except himself, not even his own son.
With this money, it would be enough for him and his son to find a remote place and squander the rest of their lives.
Let one go blind, it’s better than losing one’s life by having his property confiscated and his family exterminated.
There are three places where treasures are hidden.
He took them one by one at a time and hid them under the bed.
After returning from the third place, he put the bag containing the treasure aside and reached under the bed to fish it out.
I tried several times but came up empty-handed.
He panicked and quickly knelt on the ground and looked under the bed.
The things that had just been put in disappeared.
All the hairs on his body stood up instantly, and he quickly grabbed the bag behind him and wanted to run.
As a result, he got nothing again.
The door was still tightly closed.
The bag he had just put on the ground disappeared out of thin air!
The county magistrate's face turned pale, and he crawled out of the room: "There's a ghost, there's a ghost——"
In the teahouse's private room.
Lu Wanyin looked at the three bags with disdain: "I actually squandered so much that only this much is left."
A cold wave is coming, and this silver is definitely not enough for the people of a county to survive the winter.
Lu Wanyin took out a duck leg and took a bite: "If I had known earlier, I would have beaten him up before leaving!"
Those who have struggled to survive the apocalypse cannot maintain a refined eating manner.
Xie Jingci looked at her unrestrained actions and found them extremely amusing.
He raised his hand and gently wiped away the oil stains from the corner of her mouth.
It made him feel a little hungry.
People like Xie Jingci, who have been fighting in battles for many years, are used to eating meat and drinking wine in big mouthfuls.
He was not used to the way the ladies in Beijing chewed their food slowly and took three steps at a time.
On the contrary, Lu Wanyin's personality is more in line with his temperament.
