"What case?" Chen Yue asked impatiently.
"It seems to be about the lady of the He family. I don't know the specific subordinates. Detective Song quickly brought her back and is waiting outside."
"Okay, okay, you go down first, I'll be there right away." Chen Yue waved his hand and said.
The matter between Zhao Guogong and Wei Guogong's family has not been resolved, and there is another trivial matter that needs to be dealt with. Chen Yue regrets it in his heart. He knew that being a county magistrate in the capital was like this. It is better to go to another state to be a carefree magistrate.
There is no small matter at the feet of the emperor. An ordinary case in the capital may be heard by Datian. If it is not handled well, it may be packed up and returned to the hometown.
"It's that He again..."
Chen Yue frowned, stood up and walked out.
Although he is the county magistrate of the capital, he is also a branch of the Chen family. If it were not for the support of the Duke of the State, it would be impossible for Chen Yue to be what he is today. Of course, he must pay attention to the things they explain.
What exactly happened twenty years ago, Chen Yue also heard from others that a noble family who married Chen Guogong's mansion, before the wedding, the eldest son who was about to get married actually eloped with a commoner woman, causing Chen Guogong's mansion lost all face, and became the laughing stock of the rich and powerful families in the capital for a while.
That Miss Chen family has never been married, and until now, she still lives in the Duke's mansion.
Now that the Duke's Mansion is in full swing, another noble family that was once prominent has gradually declined, and the woman's family has also been affected. Due to some reasons, the Duke's Mansion can't do things too badly, but it can't. will make them feel better.
Chen Yue was ordered by the Duke's Mansion to "take care" of the He family a lot in the past three years.
…
…
The hall of the county government office is actually a very majestic place. There is a huge plaque hanging in the center, and the inscription "Mirror hangs high". , would keep hitting the ground with a stick, calling it "mighty", directly hitting the prisoner's psychological defense line.
Li Yi has long been used to all this, and he is not affected at all. Of course, Li Xuan, even Miss Liu Er, can review the layout here and comment at the same time. , much more imposing than the Anxi County Government.
As for the woman and the little girl, they were not so calm. The woman was pale, but she could barely maintain her composure. The little girl was holding on to her mother's clothes, her big bright eyes were full of panic.
"Little sister, what's your name?" Li Yi walked to her side, squatted down, and said with a smile.
This group of bastards, if such a young child is frightened, it may cause a lifetime of psychological shadow.
The little girl bit her lip, and after a long time, she said two words softly, "Dragon Boat Festival."
"Dragon Boat Festival, the name sounds really good. Just now, you invited your brother to eat noodles. Now, my brother invites you to eat, okay?" Li Yi looked at her and said.
"Noodles, yes, you have to pay." The little girl shook her head, looked at him, and said timidly.
"Dragon Boat Festival, what are you talking about!" The woman dragged her behind, and hurriedly said to Li Yi: "My lord, don't listen to her..."
Li Yi was taken aback when he heard the words, then laughed, turned to look at Li Xuan, and asked, "Do you have any money with you? You forgot to pay for the noodles just now."
Of course Li Xuan wouldn't bring his own silver, a winking guard promptly handed over an ingot.
"Mother, change the money." As if infected by Li Yi, the little girl was not as scared as before. She took the silver ingot and handed it to her mother.
She had only seen broken silver, and knew that whenever a customer paid with such things, Mother would always get back a lot of copper coins.
"No rules, return the money quickly..." When the woman reprimanded the little girl with a straight face, Li Yi waved his hand, took out a paper bag from his arms, opened it, put it in front of the little girl, and said, "This time May I buy you something to eat?"
Inside the paper bag was the candied fruit that the fat man gave him. In exchange, Li Yi had to hide the fact that he was fighting with people outside. As for the bruises on his face, the official statement to the outside world was caused by a fall.
Of course, this fall has to be performed very well. It is impossible for ordinary people to fall like this without ten or eight years of effort. The little fat man may be very talented - it depends on whether his parents believe it or not.
It has to be said that the little fat man's attainments in eating are not shallow, and what he gave to Li Yi is even the best of the best.
Smelling the scent of candied fruit, the little girl swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but didn't reach out immediately. She looked up at him, with a flash of longing in her eyes, and asked, "Do you want money?"
"This is what my brother invited you to eat, no money is required." Li Yi said with a smile.
"Thank you brother." The little girl finally stretched out her hand, took only one piece, divided it into two halves, handed the extra half to the woman, looked back at Li Yi, and said, "Next time I will treat my brother to eat." Noodles, no money... "
The yamen servants around were almost dumbfounded.
I have never seen such an arrogant person in the courtroom, let alone talking and laughing, and now they are actually eating, do you take them seriously
But let alone, what is the little girl eating, it smells so good, I really want to taste a piece...
Secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but none of the yamen servants dared to do this. Anyone who dared to be so presumptuous in the courtroom was either a lunatic or someone who really had something to rely on. The person who could carry a guard with him was obviously impossible to be the former.
They just have to pretend they didn't see it, and leave the trouble to the county magistrate.
Li Xuan watched in amazement, and finally couldn't help pulling Li Yi aside, and asked, "You knew this little girl before?"
"It's the first time I saw you." Li Yi shook his head.
Li Xuan's face was even more puzzled. It was the first time he saw Li Yi being so friendly to a stranger, and he asked suspiciously: "Could it be that you are treating this little girl..."
"roll!"
Li Yi spit out a word unceremoniously, this guy's thoughts are too dirty, she is just a child...
The affection for this little girl stems entirely from an inexplicable sense of intimacy. It may be that seeing her has touched some memories. After all, he himself suffered a lot when he was a child—let’s just think of her as more suitable. For your own eyes.
Li Xuan looked at the little girl curiously again, took out a piece of candied fruit from the paper bag in Li Yi's hand, and just threw it into his mouth, when an angry voice came from the front.
"Bold, the court is not a restaurant, who are you, dare to be presumptuous in the court, how bold!"
Seeing the middle-aged man in official uniform coming out from the back hall, Li Xuan chewed and swallowed the candied fruit slowly, wiped his mouth, then raised his head, looked at the man and said, "I saw you on the street today. When the bully oppresses the good, the officials don't care about it, and even help the tyrant to do the abuse. I read the books of sages and sages. law?"
"Book of sages, common people?" Li Yi was startled when he heard the words, looked at Li Xuan, and then at the middle-aged man in the hall, speechless for a moment.
"Are you presumptuous in the courts because the sages teach you?" Chen Yue heard the words, the light in his eyes flashed slightly, he patted the gavel, and said loudly.
