Chapter 22 The second day at work
The next morning, He Jin and Chen Ming went to the yamen to respond.
Along the way, many neighbors greeted the two of them. The sooner they arrived at the yamen, the more people said hello: "Brother Jin, why are you going to the yamen with Master Chen today?"
"Brother Jin, I heard that yesterday, did you carry Master Chen to your house?"
"Brother Jin, did Master Chen stay at your house last night?..."
He Jin listened to these questions depressedly, and always felt that everyone looked at him with a little strange. However, when it comes to the secrets of the fire kang business, he could not answer truthfully, and could only deal with it in a vague way.
After the two entered the Yamen, the people from Yaqian Street gathered together excitedly and said gossip: "How is it? I just said that Brother Jin is capable, but he just happened to be seriously ill, so he took the lead from Master Chen..."
"What do you know? I heard that the errand in the yamen was done by Master Chen!"
"Well?......Why is this? Is it true that the rumor that Brother Jin was Mr. Chen's illegitimate son?"
"What nonsense! You are such a gossiping person, you will be pulled out when you arrive in the underworld!" Another person inquired about the matter spoke and said mysteriously: "It is said that Brother Jin can climb Master Chen's line because the two...well, it is true love!"
The people were full of interest and the most talked about was of course the passionate way that He Jin chased Chen Ming yesterday and then carried it home with a domineering spirit...
Fortunately, He Jin didn't hear this.
Otherwise, he would probably have many people embedded in the walls of the Yaqian Street shop: Who are these people? The ancients should be more reserved. Is it really good for you to be so gossipy?
After arriving at the county government office, Chen Ming and He Jin were about to part ways. But suddenly they found that there was a noisy noise in the second hall.
When I went up to see a county student wearing a jade-colored soap-edged wide-sleeved shirt, a black silk ribbon tied with a black scarf, and two long straps hanging from the back of my head. He was shouting at some yamen runners, and was still very excited.
When history developed to the Ming Dynasty, scholars had already surpassed the status of agriculture, industry and commerce, and were first-class citizens.
The yamen runners are not only the minions of the yamen, they are inferior people and they are okay to deal with ordinary people. But when they deal with scholars, they seem very timid.
Therefore, although the student was only one, the yamen runners did not dare to act rashly, and their voices were very loud and outstanding: "The Lord of the Hall is above, and the case is under the lower for three days has no clues, and the injustice cannot be resolved. If there is no need to find out, the student has to go to the capital city to file a separate complaint. Don't blame me!"
He Jin frowned after hearing this: This student is quite fierce. He actually came to the yamen to threaten the magistrate. What's even more strange is that Yao Jing didn't show up now, and he actually made this man ride on his neck...
When Chen Ming saw He Jin's puzzled expression, he couldn't help but say, "You are from the torture room, you can't even know about this case, right? ...... That's right, when Yan Xiucai's wife disappeared, you had not yet entered the yamen."
He Jin immediately had an impression when he heard Chen Ming say this. When he was having dinner in the cafeteria at noon yesterday, he did hear the torture room's library discussing this matter.
The case is said to be Yan Xiucai's wife. She went back to her parents' home to visit her relatives three days ago, but she disappeared after leaving the house, and no one was seen in her husband's family.
Such a missing population case was in front of us, so Yao Jing naturally sent a constable and yamen runners to conduct a close investigation and ordered a five-day comparison to solve the case within a time limit.
But strangely, the constable and yamen runners went from Yan Xiucai's house to his father-in-law's house, visited back and forth several times, and asked everyone who should ask, but there was no clue.
Seeing that the five-day time was approaching, Yan Xiucai, who was not worried about his beloved wife, came to the yamen to urge him.
Knowing the whole story, He Jin couldn't help but sympathize with the scholar Yan.
Yao Jing also showed up at this time. Although he was very unhappy, he still comforted him with a relationship between being a Shilin person and said with a gentle voice: "Xiansheng, you must know that in order to prevent random lawsuits, our court is not allowed to file a complaint at the top of the level. You should be content with peace of mind. This magistrate will send additional personnel to investigate and give you a result."
Afterwards, Yan Xiucai said something to Yao Jing excitedly, and Yao Jing also patiently continued to comfort him.
Finally, Yan Xiucai bowed his hand and Yao Jing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Then, he called Hu Bugui, the head of the fast-paced team, and scolded him fiercely, ordering him to come up with an explanation the next day.
He Jin just thought this scene was a lively one: after all, there was nothing he had to do with...
But Chen Ming looked embarrassed and muttered, "The master is so in a bad mood. If I run into it on my own, wouldn't that be true?"
"Isn't it a timely help?" He Jin suddenly took over the conversation, smiled at the worried Chen Ming, and said, "Sir Chen, what you brought to you is good news from Zepi Yizhou. It is just that when the master is in a bad mood, it seems to be a big worry."
"Yes, you kid is really different, there are many wrong reasons!"
Chen Ming was stunned at first, then glanced at He Jin strangely, but was not very shocked: After all, he had learned about the evil nature of this child many times. After being accustomed to it, he became a little numb.
However, then his eyes lit up again, and he looked at He Jin like a fox staring at a fat chicken, and asked, "Boy, do you have any ideas about this case?"
He Jin couldn't help but despise the old man: What do you mean? Treat me as a panacea? I can have this case... Uh, I really think about it.
So, even though he was depressed, He Jin still analyzed and said, "There is only two situations when the population is missing. One is that the wife of Yan Xiucai ran away by himself, and the other is that he was kidnapped and held hostage. If it is the first type, it will be difficult to solve the case, but if it is the second type, it can only prove one thing."
"Yan Xiucai and his wife are young and have a deep relationship. They may not be able to escape. But if they are kidnapped and held hostage, why would no one know along the way and have no clues at all?" Chen Ming asked in confusion, "And what can such a weird thing prove?"
He Jin smiled and said, "This proves that those constables and yamen runners didn't ask the right person at all!"
"Shi Ye Chen, cats have cats, rats have rats. What should be asked about such kidnapping and hostage cases are the most important things for those city foxes, clubs, rogues, and ordinary and kind people. If you visit them carefully again, what should they not know or not? "
"It's amazing!" Chen Ming couldn't help but pull his beard, patted his legs and laughed: "You kid, you really have no idea about anything. Such a bizarre case can tell the secret at a glance!"
"Haha..." He Jin shook his head and smiled: After saying this casually, he just wanted to help the crazy wife who loved her, but did not take it in his heart.
The two of them parted ways. Chen Ming went to his signing room, and He Jin turned around and walked into the torture room.
As soon as he entered the gate of the torture room, the hierarchy made people feel a little breathless. Especially when he saw Wang Maoming's dead face and turned to him expressionlessly, He Jin couldn't help feeling uncomfortable all over.
"One day left!" Wang Maoming snorted, looking at He Jin with the look of looking at the maggots in the gutter, and said, "If you can't complete the file archives, leave as soon as possible!"
After saying that, he shook his sleeves, obviously unwilling to be late for not catching He Jin today.
However, when he was halfway through, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and continued to scold He Jin, "Reiterate again, there is no waste in the yamen! If you are familiar with official affairs, I am right to take it to the master!"
He Jin's face was still calm, but his heart was like a mountain torrent. The words that were flowing were all: Wang Maoming, I will be your 18th generation of ancestors!......
But no matter how much he scolded him, he knew that he had just arrived and had a shallow foundation.
It is still a thousand miles away to fight with the officials in the court's Ministry of Personnel. Even Yao Jing, the magistrate, could only suggest that the Ministry of Personnel be dismissed, and could not wave his hand and let Wang Maoming get out.
For the current plan, I can only punish me thousands of times, and I will treat myself as if I were the first love.
He Jin tried hard to adjust his facial muscles before showing a calm smile and replied: "Thank you, Lord Sixing, for your care, the villain knows."
"Hmph!..." Wang Maoming was satisfied and walked into the office with a proud crab.
Then, He Jin sat in his seat and started a day's work: he thought that he would not be killed by Wang Maoming, and he would have to prepare some more files today.
But with the file copy written in his hand, his mind couldn't stop floating elsewhere: Alas... I don't know, can Mr. Chen Ming handle the master today? If possible, then his time-traveling life will be considered to be a real start...
Thinking of this, He Jin couldn't help but start wandering around the sky. It seemed as if he saw a river of money flowing slowly into his pocket.
Thinking of such beautiful things, I felt that the breath and depression were not so severe and uncomfortable.
But he didn't know at all that his life was as good as those old bookkeepers, and he was perfectly integrated.
Even later, he was suddenly pushed by someone, and the chubby bookkeeper beside him whispered: "The dead man is coming out. Brother, pretend to be..."
"Yeah, thank you!" He Jin couldn't help but smile at the man, and suddenly felt that he had not only integrated into this torture room, but also found the time he had been in school in his previous life.
I remember that when I was in school, the big face of the class teacher suddenly appeared outside the window. It really has similarities with the dead-loving face of the dead man at this moment!......
