Ji Yunxi first washed her hair outside before taking a shower in the room.
Afraid that her hair would get wet, she took a rope and simply tied a high ponytail at the back, and then used a hosta to twist the ponytail into a ball head.
Originally, the ball head was only half-dry, slightly damp, and a little water stain slid down her forehead, winding slightly playfully past her beautiful cheeks, and down her delicate neck line, smeared out. A stunning map of desert wilderness.
Wu Weian's vision was dark and his throat was slightly hoarse.
He looked at it for a moment, then raised his eyes and landed on the woman's face.
Under the steam, her always fair face was slightly rosy, but this redness did not catch her clear eyes.
Wu Weian tapped his fingertips, suppressed the heat in his heart, raised his lips slightly, and said slowly, "But I have a book in my hand."
Ji Yunxi: "???"
He tightened the stack of books in his arms, and looked her up and down with a half-smiling smile: "Let's go, come out slowly, you are worried about slipping your feet."
Ji Yunxi: "..."
She fixedly watched the man walk around the screen leisurely, her expression cracked for a moment, and she subconsciously gritted her teeth.
he's good.
very nice.
Ji Yunxi closed her eyes, and when she regained her composure, she stretched out her hand and rubbed her arm with goosebumps, and gently shook her legs dipped in the water.
After she recovered, she got out of the tub, put on her pajamas, and went around the screen while tying her belt.
Wu Weian's book finally made sense. Hearing the movement, he turned back subconsciously.
The eyes of the two met in mid-air, and then moved away from each other.
The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.
Wu Weian looked at the night outside the window, and suddenly said: "You can sleep by yourself tonight, I will go to the front yamen to handle some business."
Ji Yunxi untied the hosta and her long hair fell. She breathed a sigh of relief, "Yes."
She looked at the back of him leaving, suddenly a little regretful.
Ji Yunxi has basically never regretted it in her life, but now, she has.
She should have talked about love and practice in her last life.
*
Zhizhou Yamen's sub-prefectural hall, the experience department, the tertiary office and the prison department are located in the front yard.
It's just that it's getting late, and there's no one in the front yard except the guards who guard the gate.
Seeing Wu Weian coming out, the two sleepy guards at the door hurriedly saluted him: "Master Wu!"
Wu Weian put his hands behind his back, hummed, and instructed: "Go and call the three of experience, Zhaomo, and prison."
The guards were stunned for a while, you two look at me, and I look at you.
One of them said boldly: "Sir, at this point, they are probably already asleep. And tonight..."
Tonight at the Xie Family Full Moon Banquet, the three of them were also there, and they all drank a lot of wine.
Wu Weian frowned, with a faint anger on his face: "Why, I can't call you?"
The two guards hurriedly said that they did not dare, bowed to Wu Weian, and went to call for people in two ways.
There were not many officials in the prefecture of Liangzhou. There was one person from experience, one for Zhaomo, one for prison, and four for Dianshi. The rest were all the guards waiting to be dispatched. There were sixty people in total. In addition, there are a thousand Liangzhou army stationed in the Beichengmen area, under the jurisdiction of the military commander Qian Zong.
As a civil official, Wu Weian had no command over the Liangzhou army. If there is a place to use the army, he has to find Qian Zong, who will then weigh the situation and dispatch the army.
After nearly an hour, the three officials arrived late.
They all just got up from the bed and drank in the evening, and they were still a little dizzy at the moment.
Qian Shichen, Wen Zhaomo, and Xing Siyu were all old fritters in their 40s and 50s. They were called by adults in the middle of the night. No one would be happy, but they still saluted flatteringly on their faces: "Sir, it's so late, what's the matter?"
Wu Weian sat in the main seat, holding a glass of cold water in his hand, drinking it one by one, and looked at the three people in the hall.
These three people have been in the government office for decades, and they have a deep friendship with each other. They spend more time with each other than with their family members. They really look like brothers, and the smiles on their faces are the same. Like carved out.
Wu Weian asked, "Which one is Qian Experience?"
A slightly fat, small-eyed man walked out: "Sir, it's right here."
Wu Weian nodded: "How many silver taels are there in the government's warehouse?"
Qian Cheng said without hesitation: "My lord, there is a total of one hundred and forty-four two-four articles."
Wu Weian nodded and looked at the well-shaved man in the middle, wearing a scholar hat and a little thin: "Wen Zhaomo? Give me all the files for this month."
Wen Zhaomo and the other two looked at each other, not knowing what medicine the newly appointed Master Wu was selling in the gourd.
But about the case file, before Wu Weian came, he had already sorted everything out, and there would be no clues.
He respectfully went to the photomill next door and brought a stack of files.
Wu Weian sat on the table and turned over one by one.
The three adults below stood drowsy in the hall.
Suddenly, Wu Weian asked coldly, "Where's Xie Bin's dossier?"
Wen Zhaomo subconsciously replied: "The dossier of the eldest young master of the Xie family—" He suddenly became stunned, and immediately regained his clarity, "Sir, the eldest young master of the Xie family has never violated the laws of the court, so naturally there is no dossier."
Wu Weian's face was light: "Really." He looked at Xing Siyu, who was on the side, "Wen Zhaomo said, is it true?"
Xing Siyu and Wen Zhaomo looked at each other, and said in a loud voice, "Yes, my lord, what he said is true."
Wu Weian gently put the file aside and smiled with a good temper: "Tonight, Patriarch Xie asked me to help him deal with Xie Bin's file. It seems that the three have already handled it."
The three of you in the hall look at me, and I look at you.
Tonight at the Xie family's full moon wine, they all knew about the fact that the head of the Xie family asked Wu Weian to go to the study.
Seeing Wu Weian asking this question, I thought that Wu Weian also received a lot of benefits and was in the same boat as them.
Xing Siyu immediately said, "Indeed—"
Wen Zhaomo on the side stepped on him directly and said to Wu Weian, who was sitting in the hall: "Sir, I don't know what the lord said, the eldest young master of the Xie family has always obeyed the law, so how could there be a case file. The lord must have It's a misunderstanding."
Wen Zhao has a flexible mind and has always been the backbone of the three.
He felt that there was something wrong with the battle tonight.
Wu Weian looked at him and sighed.
In Shangjing, it's okay to be pretentious and deal with the adults. In this small Liangzhou city, Wu Weian doesn't want to deal with them like Shangjing.
He got up from his chair, walked to the door, and said to Xue Zhu, who was called to guard the door by him, "Don't slap your face."
Xuezhu nodded with a broom and said very seriously: "Okay."
Wu Weian stepped out and closed the door.
The next moment, there was a big movement inside.
"Ouch! Bold! Ah, you, you, you, you are a sweeper, how dare you, oh, oh, oh, hit me! Do you know who I am! Be careful of your dog's life, ah- hurt hurt hurt- you Stop!!"
"Battling the officials of the court, this is a serious crime of beheading!! Ah, hiss..."
"Where is the madman, look at Lao Tzu's fist! Ouch!!!"
"...Ouch, it hurts, don't hit, don't hit!"
"My lord! My lord! I have something to discuss! Mr. Wu!! Help!!!"
In the room, Chubby Qianxun, clutching his ass while Xuezhu beat the other two, fled to the door desperately.
This hairy boy from nowhere can't dodge the broom in his hand, and if he hits on the left, he will hit on the right next time.
He clutched his right ass tightly, and saw that his hand was about to touch the door, but the broom came straight from the hall and lifted him up.
Immediately, the roar like a slaughtering pig reverberated in the palace at night.
Xuezhu's broom paused, and he frowned: "Noisy."
Then he took out a clean rag from his arms, stuffed it directly into the man's mouth, and then didn't forget to hit him hard on his right.
He has always been serious in his work.
Whether it is sweeping the floor, dyeing cloth, embroidering, sweeping the head, or beating people.
The two people next to them, huddled in the corner, couldn't help shaking their whole bodies.
Wen Zhaomo asked Xing Siyu, "You, can you beat him?"
Xing Siyu is a martial artist. Although his skills are average, he is more able to see whether it is good or bad when it comes to martial arts. His eyes are full of horror, and he muttered to himself: "This person, this person, It was horrible, it was horrible."
Xuezhu beat them all up and down except for their faces, and not a single part was missed.
Moreover, his strength was extremely precise. After this set, the three of them were not knocked out, but fell to the ground like dead fish, sweating all over, and from time to time their legs twitched.
Xuezhu tugged his messy clothes to make them even. He looked around the room and quickly swept up with his broom. When he swept the three of them, he said seriously, "Let me go."
The three of them didn't dare to let out a sigh of relief, they crawled up from the ground despite the pain, and quickly stepped aside.
After Xuezhu finished sweeping the ground, he came out from inside.
He walked to Wu Weian, who was sitting on the steps in front of the main hall, admiring the moon: "Young master, okay, no slap in the face."
*
The three knelt in front of Wu Weian, baring their teeth and repenting.
Qian's experience was like a collapse, and it was close to it. If the little servant tried a little harder, he would be no different from the eunuch in the palace. I was greedy for some money, and last month, the little boy secretly took a sum of ten taels from the warehouse..."
Wu Weian took a sip of cold water: "Over the years, how much money have you embezzled from my Liangzhou government office? Don't lie to me, I specially sent someone to check on you before I took office."
Wu Weian's face was calm, so calm that it made people panic.
Qian's experience did not dare to hide: "Little, these years, a total of 1,1208 wen has been greedy..." After he finished speaking, his face was full of grief, and his heart seemed to be hollowed out.
Wu Weian: "Tsk, a lot. I'll give you three months and 20 million in the warehouse."
Qian Shi's voice was trembling: "Three or three months??"
Wu Weian smiled: "I heard that Qian Experience has always had the mind to make money, and 20 million in three months should not be a problem."
Over there, Wen Zhaomo and Xing Siyu also explained all the money they had greed for over the years. Wu Weian gave a number as usual, this number, these three people can afford, but after paying it off, they will go bankrupt and can only live in thatched huts and drink the northwest wind.
Moreover, Wu Weian said that these people will be employed in the government office in the future, but the Yueyin will be reduced by 80%.
The official's monthly silver is less, and if you go to 80%, only 20% will be left. In the future, the three families can only live with their belts tight.
It would be better to sentence them in accordance with the law of Dayu.
They are accomplices, but they have never harmed anyone. At most, they spend a few years in prison. After they get out of the prison, they will have enough money to worry about for the rest of their lives.
But now, they have almost foreseen the difficult days after that.
But they dared not object.
Wen Zhao's face was ashes, no matter how flexible his head was, before the extremely high force value, it was useless.
He was really afraid of being beaten: "Sir, Xie Bin has committed nine cases together over the years, and in one case, half a month ago, he killed the Ye family in the East Gate. The small file has a backup at home. After the little one goes back to get it, it will be presented to the adult."
It was already slightly bright outside, and Wu Weian said: "Xing Siyu, take the arrest to Xie's house. It's time to go to the hall today. If you can't see Xie Bin, the three of you will come to see you."
He put down the tea cup, got up and left.
The three were trembling and had to take orders and leave.
Wen Zhao has a lot of scheming, and the files in his family have solid evidence.
Wu Weian directly sentenced him to be executed, and soon ended the church meeting.
At this time, when the hall was raised, no people were watching from outside the hall at all.
But in the end, someone still heard the wind.
"Have you heard that the newly appointed Zhizhou brought the one to the government office for interrogation this morning?"
"It will be released in a few days."
"But this time, it's said that it was sentenced to be executed, and the head will be beheaded three days later."
"Three days?" The person washing the horse sneered, "Just watch, it may be released tomorrow."
"Too."
We talked about it a few times, but never mentioned it again.
Xie's family is in Liangzhou and has always covered the sky with one hand. Thinking of coming this time, it's the same as before. The more times they have been, the more numb they will be.
But Patriarch Xie and Mrs. Xie were really anxious.
After hearing that his son was taken away, the head of the Xie family went to the government office to find Wu Weian, but Wu Weian avoided him.
Xie Patriarch had no choice but to go back home and get angry.
This is Wu Weian! Actually taking money for nothing! ! !
He was so angry that he didn't eat breakfast, and he couldn't even use lunch.
Mrs. Xie hurriedly came to the head of the Xie family, and the husband and wife murmured for a long time. In the end, Mrs. Xie carefully took a scroll of paintings and went to the prefectural government office.
It's just that she was not looking for Wu Weian, but Ji Yunxi.
*
Wu Weian said last night that he had gone to the front to run errands, but he never came to the backyard again.
Ji Yunxi was also very happy, she really didn't really want to see him right now.
Baofu hurried in to report: "Miss, Madam Xie is outside, saying she wants to see you."
"Mrs. Xie?" Ji Yunxi raised her eyebrows slightly.
She narrowed her eyes: "No."
She knew about the promotion this morning.
Ji Yunxi had already guessed that Wu Weian was going to attack Xie Bin.
But it was faster than she thought. I just took the money from others last night, stayed up all night, and sentenced Xie Bin to be executed this morning.
He doesn't look like someone who works all night.
But he stayed up all night last night.
Guessing what, Ji Yunxi suddenly raised her lips and smiled.
Seeing that Baofu had walked to the door and was about to report back to Madam Xie, Ji Yunxi changed her mind: "Wait, let Madam Xie come in."
She has something to confirm.
Mrs. Xie looked around quietly as she walked.
She has been to this mansion several times, and she is very familiar with it.
Only this time, Mrs. Xie found that it was not the same as when she lived in the previous office of Lord Zhizhou.
The ground was clean and there was not even a single leaf.
The main hall where guests are entertained is also extraordinarily spacious and tidy. The original tables and chairs have been removed, leaving only two.
Mrs. Xie sat down on the chair next to her and asked the maid next to her, "What's going on? Where are the desks and chairs that used to be here?"
It was prepared by their Xie family for the senior Zhizhou. It was made of high-quality red sandalwood, and it cost a lot of money.
Ji Yunxi's maid gave her a cold look: "Take it away."
Mrs. Xie looked displeased.
What kind of girl is this? How dare you show her face
Coming from Shangjing, is it so amazing
When her sister in Shangjing came to Liangzhou, she had to be polite to her!
But in the end she wanted to ask others, and Mrs. Xie suppressed it.
She waited for a while before Ji Yunxi arrived late.
Seeing Ji Yunxi, Madam Xie hurriedly stood up, then smiled and greeted: "Yunniang, you are finally here. I just asked, why are there only two tables and chairs left? Tables and chairs, thank you…”
Ji Yunxi sat down in the main seat and interrupted lightly: "Oh, throw it away."
Of course, listening to Baofu in the morning, he was intercepted by Wu Weian halfway.
Mrs. Xie's pupils suddenly enlarged and her voice became louder: "Throw it away?!"
Ji Yunxi hummed: "What?"
Mrs. Xie looked at Ji Yunxi. The other party was at her house yesterday, but it was not like this.
Just like that Wu Weian, last night, he was so enthusiastic about chatting with her master about the experience of various places, and he even received money! This morning, I can avoid it!
They are being deceived.
But the son was still in their hands, Madam Xie concealed the cruelty in her eyes, and said cheerfully, "Why did you throw it away? That's the best red sandalwood."
Ji Yunxi smiled: "I prefer Ziguang sandalwood. In a while, the table and chairs of Ziguang sandalwood will be delivered."
Mrs. Xie: "..."
Although there is only one word difference between red sandalwood and purple light sandalwood, the difference in price is not a star and a half.
No wonder Wu Weian received the money yesterday, but avoided it this morning.
It turned out that they really thought they gave less.
Mrs. Xie held the painting in her hand, and reluctantly asked the maid to hand it to Ji Yunxi: "This is the bamboo and stone picture of Mr. An..."
Ji Yunxi didn't even look at it, "Mrs. Xie, An Lang told me when he came back yesterday that your family's bamboo and stone pictures are fake. He was afraid that Patriarch Xie's face would be dull, so he was embarrassed to say it on the spot."
She leaned back in the chair, took a sip of tea, looked at Madam Xie, who was so shocked that she was speechless, and said, "If Madam is here for Xie Bin, I'm afraid it will only be a waste of time. Madam. You may have heard of the Ji family, but after thinking about it, I don't know, Kaitai Village is my Ji family's property?"
People in the capital basically know it.
But in Liangzhou, which is far away from Shangjing and has inconvenient transportation, I am afraid that few people know about it.
The Xie family doesn't seem to be well-informed either.
In short, in places like Liangzhou, the signboard of 'Kaitaizhuang' is much more useful than that of 'Jijia'.
First is the purple sandalwood, then the bamboo and stone map, and finally the Kaitai Village.
Madam Xie was struck three times in a short period of time, her heart was shaking, and she stared at Ji Yunxi blankly.
Ji Yunxi said to Baofu, "See off the guest."
Then he got up and turned to leave.
A trace of fear suddenly swept through the whole body, and Madam Xie's hand holding the scroll shook uncontrollably.
Her precious son, this time I'm afraid, really...
The picture scroll fell to the ground, Madam Xie thought of her precious son, angered and lost her mind, she rushed forward and wanted to catch Ji Yunxi: "Since you are not short of money, why did you charge the five hundred taels last night? ?! Why are you pretending to be like that!! You are doing it on purpose, you just want to harm my Xie family!!"
But Mrs. Xie had no chance to meet Ji Yunxi at all, and was pushed directly to the ground by Baofu.
The Xie family has always been fat, and the fat Mrs. Xie couldn't get up after struggling on the ground for a long time.
Baofu snorted coldly and said on the spot, "Someone! Madam Xie wants to harm Madam Tangtang Zhizhou, so please press down and deal with it according to the law!"
*
It turned out to be five hundred taels.
Ji Yunxi guessed that it was impossible for Wu Weian to stay behind.
She went back to her room and thought about what he was doing after returning from Xie's house last night.
He seems to have been dealing with books.
Ji Yunxi walked to his bookshelf, and after a short while, she reached out and found a huanghuali wooden box hidden behind the bookshelf.
The wooden box is so smooth that it looks like it has been played with and has been around for a few years.
A tangram lock is used on the surface.
Ji Yunxi tried it casually, and found that the Qiqiao lock was specially improved by him. It was a little difficult, and she couldn't solve it for a while.
The more he couldn't figure it out, the more Ji Yunxi wanted to figure it out.
She took the huanghuali wooden box, sat on the beauty's couch, locked herself in the room for an afternoon, and finally unlocked the Qiqiao lock.
Inside the box are a few sheets of human... skins, and naturally there are also those one hundred taels.
She looked at it, took out a hundred taels, and put the huanghuali wooden box back as it was.
Wu Weian had been busy all day and only returned after dinner.
When he got to the bedroom, Ji Yunxi was not there.
Wu Weian took off his coat and walked to the hanger, but when he passed the bookshelf, his footsteps stopped abruptly.
Not right.
Very wrong.
He immediately took out some books without hesitation, and took out the huanghuali wooden box at the back.
Wu Weian opened it at the fastest speed, and sure enough, he saw a hundred taels disappearing inside.
He closed his eyes and closed the huanghuali wooden box very slowly.
Then he lowered his head, and the tip of his nose lightly sniffed around the Qiqiao lock.
This scent-
…
In the evening, Wu Weian lay on the bed early, closed his eyes, and seemed to have fallen asleep.
After Ji Yunxi finished washing up, she glanced at him and stepped into the bed.
Wu Weian suddenly said, "I heard that Mrs. Xie came to find you."
Ji Yunxi: "Yes."
Wu Weian: "Did you know?"
Ji Yunxi lay down, turned over, turned her back to him, and said in a sleepy tone, "What do you know?"
Wu Weian looked at her back deeply: "The Xie family actually gave me five hundred taels."
Ji Yunxi calmly hummed: "Mrs. Xie did say it."
Wu Wei settled down for a while, his tone sounded hesitant and a little reluctant: "The one hundred taels, do I still want to give it to you?"
Ji Yunxi closed her eyes and said lightly, "No, you can keep it."
Wu Weian laughed angrily.
He looked at her back, stretched out his hand and pulled her over, then pressed her down.
Ji Yunxi didn't react at all, she struggled subconsciously, with an angry look on her face: "What are you doing?"
Wu Weian clasped her wrists with one hand and pressed her heart with the other, panting and gritting his teeth: "Three girls, your heart is darker than mine."
The author has something to say: Surprise! Husband and wife fight! What a twist of human nature! Or moral decline! !
