"what happened?"
Li Yi walked up to the two yamen servants, pointed at the man casually and asked.
One of the yamen servants was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "Master Hui County Captain, this person maliciously hurt people, we captured him in the street, and we are about to take him to the county prison."
"Grandfather!"
At this time, the man also reacted, looked at Li Yi, and said with surprise.
When the two yamen servants saw this scene, they immediately became puzzled. Could it be that he knew the county lieutenant
"It's just a trivial matter, don't mention the word benefactor." Li Yi waved his hand to the man, and then asked the two yamen servants: "Tell me specifically, what's going on?"
The big man in front of him was the man he met when he solved the silver theft case on the street last time. He was stolen by a middle-aged scribe that day. The two argued endlessly over the ownership of the silver. Get away, use this matter to bet with him, help him unintentionally, and still have an impression of him at this moment.
This man is quite filial to his old mother, he doesn't look like a criminal. The county government prison is not easy to stay in. Even if he is not tortured, it is not easy to live in for a few days. If it is not a big deal, he will be forgiven. It doesn't matter to him once.
Seeing that the county lieutenant was interested in this case, the yamen servant immediately told him everything he knew.
Only then did Li Yi know that the reason why this big man was arrested at the county government office was because he injured a pharmacy clerk. It is said that the pharmacy clerk sold the moldy medicinal materials to this man for the sake of petty profits. The man's old mother was seriously ill. After drinking the medicinal juice, she almost died, and she finally recovered her life.
After learning the truth from the doctor, the big man became angry immediately, rushed all the way into the pharmacy, beat the clerk half to death, and happened to be caught by two passing policemen who caught him.
Although the pharmacy clerk was at fault, fortunately it didn't cause any major disasters, but this man beat him half to death, intentionally wounding others, and was taken back to the yamen on the spot.
"What's your name?" Li Yi asked, looking at the big man.
"Well... back to my lord, my villain Wu Er."
The big man originally wanted to be called Engong, but thinking of what Li Yi said just now, he immediately changed his name, imitating the two yamen servants.
Li Yi turned to look at the two yamen servants, and asked, "Is that guy seriously injured?"
A yamen servant shook his head and said: "Although he was beaten up with bruises and swollen face, he is terrifying, but there is no danger of his life, just a few days of training will be enough."
Li Yi nodded and said: "If you take him back to the prison, he will have to serve two prison meals a day. This Wu Er is also worried about his old mother, and his filial piety is commendable. I can understand it on the spur of the moment. If the pharmacy clerk is nothing serious , let him go."
The two yamen servants were stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately, "Yes, your lord is right."
The two let go of the man, seeing that he was still standing in the same place in a daze, one of them slapped him on the head, and said: "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and thank the county captain!"
The big man came back to his senses, with a gleam of joy on his face, he was about to kneel down immediately, and said loudly: "Lord Xie Xianwei! Master Xie Xianwei!"
I don't know who these people learned from. When they saw the official, they would kneel. Li Yi wanted to help him up, but this big man had a lot of strength.
"It's alright, alright, don't knock it out, this time it's for your filial piety, in the future, when you do things, think about it more in your head, if you have anything you can come to the Yamen for help, don't be so impulsive." Li Yi waved his hand and said.
The big man smiled stupidly, and after thanking him several times, he worried that his mother would not be taken care of, so he left in a hurry.
"My lord is benevolent, and my subordinates admire him!"
Ignoring the flattery of the two yamen servants, Li Yi waved his hand casually, called Lao Fang from the back hall, and walked out of the county yamen.
In this era, the commuting time of officials is very different from that of later generations, because major officials like the county magistrate and county magistrate live in the yamen, and they have to start work at six or seven in the morning, but the off work time is also early, about three or four in the afternoon When it's time to go home from work.
According to the unified regulations, except for some important festivals, the rule of "one rest and one bath every five days" is implemented for officials, that is, every five days of work, they can take a day off to go home and take a bath, which is quite scientific. .
However, Li Yi was considered a special case in the county government.
Perhaps it was Li Mingzhu's conscience that he wanted to make up for what he owed him. Many rigid regulations relaxed restrictions on him. He didn't have to live in the county government office, and he didn't have to come to work early in the morning. Much freer.
Li Xuan is very trustworthy, Li Yi had already received the good horse that he said to give him last time a few days ago, but it's a pity...he hasn't learned how to ride a horse yet.
The horse was temporarily requisitioned by Liu Ruyi. She seemed to like the horse very much, and she hadn't mentioned returning it since it was requisitioned.
Fresh clothes and angry horses, fighting the sword to the end of the world is not only Li Yi's dream. During this time, he has been in contact with Liu Ruyi a lot. She likes the rivers and lakes in Li Yi's martial arts novels the most. Every time Li Yi talks about those martial arts When she is the heroine of the world, her eyes will sparkle.
As a sister-in-law and martial arts coach, she said that she would teach Li Yi how to ride a horse, and Li Yi has been looking forward to this for several days.
Imagining riding a steed on the road in a fancy dress, it must be very cool. If it is paired with a long sword like Liu Ruyi, it may really be a bit of a hero.
Li Yi actually doesn't like the waist knife assigned to him above. There is a saying that the sword is the leader of a hundred soldiers. In his impression, heroes usually use swords. Knife, the first thing that comes to mind should be a group of rough men, all holding big sabers, rushing down from the mountain, shouting "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree..." and so on. , the sense of violation is too strong.
In the future, if there is a chance to change to a sword envoy, he has always felt that Liu Ruyi's sword wielding is very cool, with a cold expression, and the sword is silent. A lot of people.
Thinking about it again, the uniform worn by Princess Catcher with a waist knife is actually quite cool, but I have never seen her draw a knife, but think about the way she slashes with a knife, no matter how cool the image is All gone.
After some bargaining with Li Mingzhu, Li Yi's life after becoming a county lieutenant has actually not changed much from before. He came down from Liuyezhai in the morning and went back in the afternoon. It was just a place where he stayed during the day. Ya.
It's just winter, and it hasn't snowed yet, and the weather is already a bit cold.
When going out in the morning, tell Xiaohuan to wait for him to come back to eat hot pot in the afternoon. At this time, they are probably already preparing.
After entering the stockade, Lao Fang went back directly when he passed by the door of his house. Li Yi continued to walk for a while, and just stepped into the yard, and saw sisters Ruyi and Xiaohuan in the yard.
In addition, there is a strange woman in the yard.
The woman was in her thirties and forties, dressed in brightly colored clothes, and looked quite festive, and she was talking about something with a smile on her face.
Seeing Xiaohuan running towards this side, Li Yi glanced at the woman with some doubts, and asked, "Who is she?"
The little servant girl showed bitterness on her face, and said in a low voice, "It's the official media. This time, they are here to urge the second young lady to get married quickly. They have been here several times this year."
