Don’t Show the Son

The yamen of the Qingli Division is under the imperial city, and when Lin Xiu was about to reach the gate of the Qingli Division, she was stopped by the yamen servants at the door.

"Who is it, why are you here to clean up the officials?"

With his hands on his hips, Sun Dali said in a doggy manner: "Blind your dog eyes, you don't even know your adults?"

At this time, another yamen servant hastily stepped forward with a smile on his face, and said: "He is new here, I have never met Mr. Lin, please don't blame Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin, please..."

Although the rank of the official secretary is not high, it is just a junior official of the ninth rank, but an official is an official, and it is not something these petty officials can afford to offend.

Lin Xiu didn't bother with the yamen servant either, and made an appointment with Sun Dali to pick him up, and walked straight into the gate of the Qing Dynasty Officials Department.

After Lin Xiu walked in, the new yamen servant asked curiously: "Who is that person? I have been in the Cleaning Department for a month, why have I never seen him?"

Another yamen servant shook his head, and said in a low voice: "A related household who came in with money, but it's strange, he hardly came to the yamen before, why did he come today..."

Walking into the courtyard of the Qing Dynasty Officials Department, you will be facing the lobby of the Qing Dynasty Officials Department, which is also the place where the trial of cases is held.

On the left and right sides, there are several functional departments within the Qingli Department. After Lin Xiu saw the plaque of "Document Library", she walked through the corridor on one side and walked into the gate of the Document Library.

The document library is very quiet on weekdays, and the other three clerks were chatting and joking. When they saw someone coming in, they looked up and saw that it was Lin Xiu, and they all showed expressions of surprise.

They knew Lin Xiu, and Mr. Chen told them to take good care of him at the time, but after he came a few times, they never saw him again. He blows.

The three of them smiled at Lin Xiu as a greeting, and continued chatting.

Lin Xiu also nodded politely, and scanned the room with her eyes. Apart from the rows of bookshelves, there were four desks in this room, three of which were very clean, and the pens, ink, papers and inkstones on them were also very neat. The last table was full of sundries. Obviously, that table belonged to Lin Xiu.

Lin Xiu walked to that table, tidied up the sundries, fetched another basin of water, and wiped the entire table, then sat on the chair and took out a book to read.

His eyes fell on the book, but his mind was not there.

Awakened people like him who are not very talented will not be taken seriously by the School of Different Arts. Apart from receiving a monthly allowance, free access to the Library Pavilion, and asking for advice if they have any questions, they have no access to them. other resources.

And what they do on weekdays, the School of Abnormal Arts doesn't care.

For Lin Xiu, the biggest advantage of entering the Academy of Different Arts is that he can get in touch with people with various abilities. He has to find a way to make more friends. Only after getting to know each other well can he have the opportunity to maintain physical contact with each other for a long time.

This matter needs to be discussed in the long term. At present, Lin Xiu still has to hold Zhao Lingyin's thigh tightly, and his cultivation cannot be separated from her.

As for the Cleaning Department, there is usually nothing to do. Lin Xiu only needs to check in occasionally to avoid being fired. This also has an explanation for Uncle Ping'an and his wife.

Lin Xiu was planning her own future, but the three clerks in the room automatically ignored him. They were just surprised. After Lin Xiu came, the document library, which was still sweltering just now, suddenly became cooler...

Lin Xiu sat on the chair for half an hour, and while she still had time, she planned to try her luck at the School of Different Arts.

He walked out of the gate of the file storehouse and came to the courtyard of the Qing Dynasty Officials Department. With a glance, he found that there were many figures around the entrance of the lobby, and outside the yamen, there were also vague figures.

With a heart of gossip, Lin Xiu moved her steps and moved closer.

In the main hall of the Qing Officials Division, the government servants stood in two rows, and in the middle was a straw mat, covered with a white cloth, and only a pair of feet were exposed under the white cloth.

A luxuriously dressed young man sat on a chair with his legs crossed, looked at the straw mat on the ground, and said, "She hanged herself, why did you ask me to come here?"

Looking at the young man with an arrogant attitude and no panic at all, the official secretary sitting above felt a sudden headache. He rubbed his brows and asked, "Someone saw that Mrs. Wang entered your house yesterday, and today she Hanged at home, do you have any explanation for this?"

The young man shook his head and said: "Yesterday she came into my house, but she took my money and voluntarily went to the mansion to accompany me. After the work was done, she went back. What are you doing?"

Qing Li Silang said: "Since she is voluntary, why did she hang herself?"

The young man said displeasedly: "What is the lord talking about, she hanged herself, it's none of my business, maybe she can't think about it because of other things, who knows..."

The courtroom fell silent for a while.

At this time, an old man kneeling beside the straw mat wailed and said: "My lord, it's not like this, it's not like this, the little girl has always kept herself clean, how could she do that kind of thing with others, I beg the lord to return the little girl's innocence. The little girl is fair!"

The Minister of Cleaning Officials was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Wang died by hanging himself. It cannot be proved that he has a direct relationship with Qin Cong. In this case, the Cleaning Officials will investigate again..."

This is an obvious comforting word. Hearing this, the old man's face turned pale, as if he had been drained of all his strength, he fell limply on the ground and murmured: "I'm wronged, my little girl is wronged..."

At this time, the young man who was sitting on the chair slowly got up, cupped his fists to the official minister, and said: "There is nothing else, I will go back first..."

"Wait."

He had just taken two steps when a voice came from outside the door.

The crowd outside the lobby of the Cleaning Officials Department made way for a passage, and a figure walked in slowly. He first clasped his fists at the Qing Officials Department Langzhong, and then said: "My lord, Mrs. Wang did not hang herself, but was killed."

Without waiting for Lang Zhong to speak, he pointed to the corpse under the white cloth and said: "If a person hangs himself to death, his feet will hang to the ground due to weakness. This corpse's feet are so stiff that it is very likely that she is hanging herself. In addition, the person who died by hanging herself will have the tip of her tongue exposed, and her face will be bruised and hideous, but if she dies first and then hanged, her tongue will be retracted in her mouth, and her complexion will be more pale than bruised. Whether the deceased hanged himself, or was murdered and hanged, you only need to lift the white cloth to know..."

After Lin Xiu finished speaking, the pupils of the young man not far in front of him shrank imperceptibly.

The official minister who wanted to announce his resignation took a deep look at Lin Xiu, and then asked Wu Zuo in the corner, "Is what he said true?"

That Zuo was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "Master Hui, it is true."

Qing Lisi Langzhong pointed to a yamen servant and said, "Take off the white cloth."

"yes!"

After the yamen servant responded, he walked quickly to the straw mat, lifted the white cloth, and revealed the face of a woman next to him. The woman had a beautiful face, but her face was a little pale. She lay there quietly, and one couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken. pity.

Her face was pale, and the tip of her tongue did not stick out.

"Sure enough!"

"So, this woman was murdered and then pretended to hang herself?"

"Isn't that Lin Wenshu? Why does he know better than the clerk in the yamen..."

...

Above the courtroom, the Qing official secretary took a deep breath, and said slowly: "There are many doubts in this case, Mr. Qin, you can't clear up the suspicion for the time being, I'm afraid you will be wronged for a while."

The young man didn't care, he smiled and said: "It's okay, I believe the adults will give me justice."

Qing Lisi Lang Zhong tapped on the gavel and said: "This case still needs to be further investigated. Qin Cong will be temporarily detained and resigned."

Accompanied by two yamen servants, a young man named Qin Cong looked back at Lin Xiu when he walked out of the lobby, his eyes full of deep meaning.

As soon as Lin Xiu walked out of the lobby, a hand pulled him over and took him straight to the document library.

A middle-aged man in official uniform frowned at Lin Xiu and said, "At this time, what are you doing? You think you can't tell whether she was hanged alive or dead by a test? , everyone doesn't know, but you are smart?"

Although Lin Xiu didn't know the man in front of him, he quickly guessed the man's identity.

The only one who could talk to himself in this tone was his father's old friend who was in charge of the file warehouse in the Clean Officials Department. Lin Xiu's clerical errand was also obtained through him.

Lin Xiu pretended not to understand, and asked with a puzzled look: "Uncle Chen, since your lord knows that the woman was murdered, why didn't you tell me?"

The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "Things are not as simple as you imagined. Qin Cong is the son of the first-class uncle Qin Wu. Even the Lord Langzhong can't afford to offend the Qin family, let alone you. After being disturbed by you like this, Qin Cong's life is not easy. If you are in prison, there is no guarantee that the Qin family will hate you..."

Lin Xiu suddenly realized, and then said in a panic, "Uncle Chen, what should we do now?"

The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, and said: "You don't have to worry too much, it shouldn't be difficult for the Qin family to settle this matter. Although your Lin family has fallen, you are still a powerful person. If you think about it, they dare not do anything to you, but you have to remember Hold on, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future, don't get involved again."

Lin Xiu was taught: "I understand, thank you Uncle Chen for reminding me."

Director Chen waved his hand and said, "It's good that you know, if something happens to you here, I can't explain it to your father."

After admonishing Lin Xiu, Director Chen left here.

Lin Xiu sat back in her seat and breathed a sigh of relief.

Where is the Cleaning Department, the official office in the royal capital that specializes in investigating cases, and the vicious eyes of the officers and officials here, Lin Xiu knows everything, they have no reason not to know.

When Lin Xiu was standing outside the lobby, she could tell that the official secretary was very afraid of that young man.

It's best not to get involved in this kind of thing.

But when he saw the woman's body standing upright in the lobby, and the old man lying limp on the ground with a helpless and desperate expression, Lin Xiu's heart softened.

Obviously his own life is not satisfactory, but he prefers not to suffer in the world.

He was such a person in his previous life.

So every time he donated money to the disaster-stricken area, he was very active. When he saw that the children in the mountainous area were so poor that they couldn’t even read books, he would donate a carload of textbooks to them. The beggar next to him bought all the oranges from the old man who had a street stall in the cold wind in the middle of the night, even though he didn't like oranges very much.

This may be the reason why those ex-girlfriends are always willing to introduce their girlfriends to Lin Xiu after the breakup. He often gets such comments from them. Lin Xiu is indeed a bit of a scumbag emotionally, but he is definitely a good person .

Thank you for my bullet casings, and I will give it to the leader of Ma Zongchangge as a reward. I signed the contract today and added one more update to show my sincerity.

The previous saved manuscripts were deleted, deleted, modified, and there was not much left. After publishing the book for three days, more than half of the saved manuscripts were consumed. After that, I could only recode honestly. , My coding speed is slow, and my mentality will collapse after a long time, so the leader of this book will not add more updates. After it is put on the shelf, I will post as much as I write, and I will give some small gifts to the leaders, thank you for your understanding...
