Don’t Show the Son

When Lin Xiu came to the Cleaning Department, he found that two policemen were pasting something on the outer wall of the Cleaning Department.

He took a closer look and found that what the two of them had posted was a wanted warrant.

On the wanted notice, a woman is drawn.

The woman was not very old, she looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with almond eyes and a fine nose, and a very beautiful appearance. Her hair was not tied up, but tied high behind her head, and she looked very heroic.

The amount of silver reward on the arrest warrant is astonishing.

A whole hundred thousand taels of silver.

Lin Xiu remembered that the court had an upper limit on the amount of rewards offered to wanted criminals, which was about 10,000 taels. Even for the most vicious gangsters, the official rewards would not be higher than this figure.

The reason why this woman's silver reward is so high is because there are many dignitaries in the capital, including Uncle Zhongyong and Uncle Wenchang, one adds five thousand, and the other adds ten thousand.

All the heirs of their family died at the hands of this female assassin.

The woman who offered the reward order was the female assassin that Lin Xiu had admired for a long time.

Her most recent achievement was to stand up for a brothel girl who was forced to death in the Department of Clean Officials, and killed Zheng Jian, the son of Wen Changbo. Among the dignitaries, only Wen Changbo offered a reward of 50,000 taels, vowing to catch the female assassin.

Lin Xiu glanced at her mouth, let alone one hundred thousand taels, even if they increased the reward to one million taels, it would have no effect.

His ability is stealth. Among the gourd brothers, although the sixth baby is not very good at fighting, but in terms of difficulty, he is definitely ahead of the seventh brother.

You can't even see others, and you're scratching your ass.

If she hadn't missed a certain assassination and was forced out of her figure by a powerful magician, people still don't know what she looks like.

But speaking of it, this female assassin is really beautiful, especially her heroic spirit, which is very chivalrous.

Lin Xiu asked for her arrest warrant and planned to take it back for collection.

In the Cleaning Officials Department, just as Lin Xiu walked in, Liu Qingfeng came out of a yamen room. When he saw Lin Xiu, he showed a smile on his face, strode over, and said, "Master Lin, I happen to have something nice to tell you. Congratulations to Lord Lin for his promotion!"

Lin Xiu asked in surprise, "Gao Sheng, what Gao Sheng?"

From Liu Qingfeng's mouth, Lin Xiu learned that he had been promoted.

From a document in the file warehouse to the head of the arrest department, from a small official with a low rank to a small official with a low rank.

Before doing it, Lin Xiu might refuse.

Because this official position is very busy, and the status of civil servants in Daxia is not high, even if they are third-rank or fourth-rank, in the eyes of the dignitaries, they are just dogs who work for them, let alone eighth-rank masters.

Lin Xiu, the son of a second-class uncle, even the doctor wants to save face, isn't he much better than a small master?

But this time, Lin Xiu did not refuse.

If he is just a small clerk, when encountering certain things, he can only watch helplessly.

Although the official position of the principal is small, the power is not small. In many cases, he can even exercise the power of the doctor.

Hearing that Lin Xiu was promoted, Liu Qingfeng was even happier than him, and said: "Master Lin is really a talent when he is a clerk. Your ability can play a real role in the arrest department."

Lin Xiudao: "I still have to practice on weekdays. I'm afraid I don't have much time in the yamen. I have to rely on Mr. Liu for most of the things. If there is anything you can't handle, come to me..."

Liu Qingfeng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master Lin, I won't bother you on weekdays, and I would like to ask Master Lin to help you with those cases that I'm not capable of investigating..."

Although Lin Xiu's promotion has been decided, the official appointment has not yet been made.

He was sitting in the file library, flipping through a file in his hand.

This is a detailed case file that he asked Liu Qingfeng to record in front of Pinfang Building in person yesterday.

In this dossier, besides Zheng Jian, who was unshirkably responsible for Chen Yu's death, there was another person who could not shirk the responsibility.

The second son of Huang Guogong's mansion, Huang Tao.

It can even be said that Zheng Jian is just a dog, and the real culprit is Huang Tao.

Yesterday, when Mr. Langzhong tried the case, he didn't mention a word to Huang Tao, because it was useless to mention it.

The Huang family is a third-class family like the Xue family, and there is a high-ranking concubine in the harem, who is a daughter of the Huang family, just a brothel girl, not to mention she committed suicide, even if she was killed by Huang Tao himself, The Qing officials could not cure him of his crime.

Daxia's laws are for the common people, not for the powerful.

But Chen Yu had to avenge his revenge.

Lin Xiu will definitely kill this person.

With his current status and strength, it is naturally impossible to do anything to Huang Tao on the bright side, and even covert methods are useless.

Lin Xiu thought about borrowing the prince's hand.

But after thinking about it, the prince couldn't even kill him, let alone the grandson of the third-class prince.

This useless thing can't be counted on at all.

Lin Xiu is not in a hurry, the crown prince is not afraid, so Huang Tao is naturally nothing. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. If there is no opportunity now, it does not mean that there will be no future. As long as you are patient, you can always wait until you kill him. good chance.

When leaving the Cleaning Department, Lin Xiu saw two police officers talking to an old man at the door.

When passing by, he casually asked, "What's wrong?"

A policeman said: "Master Lin, this old man said that his family's land has been taken over by the landlord, and he wants the government to make decisions for him, but we don't care about this kind of thing..."

The Cleansing Department is specialized in handling criminal cases. It is true that regardless of these civil disputes, any trivial matter must be handled by the Cleaning Department. They are simply too busy.

Hearing this, the old man's eyes dimmed, and he said, "I've been to the Beicheng Yamen. They said I had no evidence. I also went to the Xicheng Yamen. They said it wasn't a case under their jurisdiction. They didn't care. I don't know which Yamen to go to. , that is the only piece of grain-producing land in the family, if it disappears, the family will starve to death next year..."

The duties and powers of these yamen in the capital are somewhat unclear. It is common for the major yamen to push each other, and the common people don't know where to appeal their grievances.

Lin Xiudao: "People's life is not easy, the old man is here, you two will help him to see."

The two policemen showed bitter expressions. This was not their duty. They are about to go to the office, and they have to run with the old man. It's freezing cold, so it's good to stay at home, who wants to go out and run around? ...

Lin Xiu glanced at the two of them, took out two pieces of silver from her sleeve, and said, "This is your foreign business, this is the dispatch fee."

When the two heard the words, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they immediately took the money.

These two pieces of broken silver, let alone two taels each, were their monthly salary.

Compared with Yin Zi, running errands is nothing, the two immediately smiled and said: "The errand that Mr. Lin told us, we will do it right away!"

To Lin Xiu, silver is just a number.

He doesn't have high requirements for life, and the 1% monthly profit of the wine shop is enough for the Lin family to live well, not to mention the perfume shop that is about to open, his money will only increase in the future.

Anyway, these are for the rich and powerful, and most of the rich and powerful rely on exploiting the people. This can be considered as taking from the people and using them for the people. Lin Xiu doesn't feel bad at all.

In the cold wind, the old man knelt on the ground tremblingly, and said, "Thank you sir, thank you sir, you are a good official..."

He had run into walls in several government offices, and this was the first good official he met all day today who was willing to help him.

Lin Xiu was very happy to be called a "good official" by the people.

He still felt somewhat guilty towards Miss Chen.

If he had helped her redeem herself earlier, or later, things would not be what they are now. Helping people like her within his ability is also a kind of self-salvation for Lin Xiu.

After all, his life is not just about practicing.

Loving the one you love and doing what you want to do is the meaning of life.

With the money Lin Xiu gave, the two arresters seemed to have had their blood pumped. One of them said, "Come on, old man, where is your home? I will carry you back, and we will explain in detail on the way..."

At this time, a figure suddenly came out from the Qingli Department, Liu Qingfeng glanced at the two of them, snatched the silver from their hands, and said, "You are all in the office, what are you still doing here, what should you do... ..."

The two were shocked when they heard this.

Mr. Lin has just been promoted to be the chief executive, and he happens to be at the same level as Mr. Liu. Could it be that Mr. Liu suppressed him?

On weekdays, the relationship between the two seems to be very good...

Both of them were Liu Qingfeng's subordinates, so naturally they didn't dare to disobey Liu Qingfeng's order. Although such a good job was gone, although they were reluctant in their hearts, they obediently left.

Lin Xiu looked at Liu Qingfeng and said in surprise, "Master Liu, this is..."

Liu Qingfeng walked to Lin Xiu's side and said, "These guys are spoiled all day, and they only work hard when they see money. You can't spoil them like this..."

Lin Xiudao: "I'm going to the office soon, I can't let them go in vain, Mr. Liu, you let them go back, what should this old man do?"

Liu Qingfeng stuffed the money taken back from the two arrests into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "Anyway, I'm fine, I can do this job, I don't need them, old man, where do you live, what grievances do we have? Walking and talking..."

Lin Xiu stared at Liu Qingfeng leaving with the old man on his back, and froze in place.

The two police officers not far away were also dumbfounded.

"Damn, the boss didn't let us do it, so he wanted to steal the money himself!"

"How shameless!"

"Careless!"

"How can there be such a shameless person!"

...

After Lin Xiu came back to her senses, she just smiled and walked towards the Lin residence.

Liu Qingfeng's salary is actually not low. Twenty taels of silver per month for the head of the eighth grade is enough to allow a family of five to live a very good life. However, his mother is ill and needs to buy medicine every month. Thinking about it, there is not much silver taels left.

Lin Xiu discovered today that many of the arrests in the Department of Cleaning Officials do not lack a sense of justice, but are just too lazy to meddle in other people's affairs.

If some money can be used to stimulate them every month, I think it will greatly stimulate their enthusiasm. They can help solve most of the difficulties that the people encounter.

By doing these things, he regarded it as accumulating virtue for Miss Chen, and hoped that she would be reborn into a good family in the next life and not suffer from the suffering of this life again.

After returning home, Lin Xiu planned to plan this matter carefully.

He came to his room, closed the door, and turned around with a slightly startled expression.

When he came in just now, there was obviously no one in the room.

But after he closed the door, a figure suddenly appeared beside the table.

It was a woman, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with an oval face and a very beautiful appearance, with her hair tied high behind her head. She was sitting on a chair at the moment, with her legs crossed, looking at Lin Xiu with interested eyes.

Thank you Mei Zixian, no matter what you don't care about, you will be rewarded.
