Xiangye

Chapter 36

Hearing that the case had been solved, the newly-appointed county magistrate Du hurriedly promoted to the court for trial.

This was the first time that Gao Wenjin had seen Hancheng's parent official in the county government for so many days. The county magistrate was only in his early twenties and hadn't grown a beard yet.He has good facial features and a personable demeanor, a bit like a handsome young man on the stage.But look, younger than yourself, very handsome.

Gao Wen couldn't help but praised in his heart: this official of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention Du Zhixian, even Huang Wei is very handsome.It can be seen that if you want to be an official, you will not be able to grow too much to affect the appearance of the city.If you were born with the appearance of the low-ranking soldier in Nakamura in "Raise Your Hands", and the people are disrespectful, what's the face of the court?

In fact, when the imperial court selects officials, the imperial examination results are a hard indicator, and appearance is also included in the assessment subjects.If you grow up too thin, even if you win the Jinshi, when it comes time to assign official positions, you may be idled by the Ministry of Officials.

Legend has it that Zhong Kui, who catches ghosts, was also a Jinshi in the past, but was sent home because he was too sleepy.Lao Zhong couldn't figure it out, he thought and thought, and finally died of depression.

The selection of officials in the Ming Dynasty has certain standards for the appearance of officials. The upper part is the face of the Chinese character, and the lower part is the face shape of the word Mu;

Therefore, later on, the imperial court was full of beautiful men.Among them, the most famous ones are Lu Bing, commander of Jinyiwei, a handsome guy in the time of Emperor Jiajing; Yan Song, the chief assistant of the cabinet, a handsome old guy; Fresh meat; the future Longqing Dynasty and Wanli Dynasty's chief assistant Gaogong, who served as a lecturer in Yuwangfu's palace, looked even more majestic.

Come to think of it, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were all chic, and the emperor was in a happier mood when he went to the early court.

The magistrate of Du County in front of him is young and handsome.To give a chestnut, this person is equivalent to a graduate of the Central Party School in later generations, and the favorite student of ***.As soon as you enter the officialdom, you are rushing to get promoted in a few years, and the future is very promising.

Everyone is at a young age, so how can someone come from such a good family background, but I, Gao Wen, am a small yamen servant who can't take the imperial examination.This time travel is really difficult in hell!

Just as he was feeling, Du Zhixian had almost finished the trial of the case.

Seeing Guan'er, the fat monk, nun, and little novice monk knew that something was wrong, so they collapsed on the ground, pouring beans into the bamboo tube, and did everything they could.

At this time, Gao Wen finally understood what was going on.It turned out that the fat monk and nun were husband and wife, and the little monk was their nephew.This fat monk is a rascal, lazy to work, and he ruined his family business in just a few years.Seeing that the whole family was about to starve to death, the nun gave it her thought. She somehow seduced the abbot of a big temple in Xi'an City to allow them to shave off their hair and become monks, so that they could have a light meal in the temple.

But the life in the temple was really hard, and the two couldn't bear it, so they got together again and ran to Hancheng.Seeing that there is no owner of Baoen Temple, I took it here and cheated some good men and women of sesame oil money.Helplessly, there are too many famous temples and great temples here in Hancheng, and Baoen Temple cannot be ranked at all.

At this time, the Oirats invaded, and a large number of refugees fled from Shanxi to Shaanxi. Naturally, some women who were separated from their families stayed in the temple.

The two men were moved, and drugged the single woman, hid it in the cellar, and sold it to a passing businessman from other places as a concubine.

After several months of doing this, many women from good families have been harmed and a lot of money has been gained.

As for Miss Shi's family, neither of them knew each other.When Du Zhixian asked about it, they all looked confused, and only replied that they had captured a woman, and they were only looking for a buyer, so they would not ask for their name.

As for the woman in the cellar, she was collecting firewood on the Baoen Temple mountain a month ago, and happened to be seen by the fat monk.Seeing that she was still healthy, he was moved and put it back in a sack.

It's just that this woman's temperament is too strong, she looks for death all day long, fearing that she will commit suicide and let her busy life be wasted, so she is locked in the ground and prepares to grind her temper slowly, until the grinding is almost done.

Hearing this, Gao Wen was refreshed again: the time and place were right, it seems that this woman is undoubtedly Miss Shi's.

Looking again, the woman had already woken up.But he has been kneeling on the ground in a daze, with a numb face, as if he has lost his soul and turned into a walking dead.

Duzhi County also quickly sent people to Zichuan Town to invite Shi Linsheng's family to come and recognize him, and threw a fire stick on the ground, and said: "What a bold villain and bandit, the blue sky is white, the sky is clear, and the universe is so evil. It's outrageous. Come here, and you will be punished."

The young county magistrate's face was flushed, he didn't know whether it was anger or excitement.In Gao Wen's opinion, the latter must be the majority.As a student of the Ministry of Officials, it is a great political achievement to have solved such a huge case in the first place!The next year's assessment will definitely be outstanding.

The yamen servant was about to make a move when suddenly the nun giggled.

"The temptress is rampant, act quickly!" Seeing her so arrogant, Du Zhixian's face turned from red to green.

But the nun kowtowed and said, "Master magistrate, my nun knows that the crime is so serious that death warrants more than death, and I don't imagine that the master will be extrajudicial. But before I die, please ask the master to let me have a word with him."

As he spoke, he looked at Gao Wen.

After all, Du Zhixian is young, so he is inevitably curious: "What do you want to say, just say what you have to say, let her go."

The nun stood up and looked at Gao Wen: "Li Xiaoguan."

Gao Wen yelled in his heart, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, he still bravely walked out from the crowd and said, "I want you to know that I am Gao Wen, the fast-track arrester of the Hancheng County Yamen. This is my duty. Don't blame me either. No more nonsense, go on the road with peace of mind, I will burn paper money for you."

The nun nodded: "I don't blame you, how could I blame you. I am so happy to be with you, even if it is death, I am worth it. Your name is Gao Wen, okay, very good, you are really a romantic and handsome My little gentleman!"

Everyone in the lobby looked at Gao Wen meaningfully, knowing that this matter was not that simple.

Gao Wen was shocked and shouted, "You can't talk nonsense."

"Poor me, I thought you were a person worthy of entrusting my life, and I still wanted to live and fly with you. I blamed me for being blind. If I return this token of love to you, even if I am a ghost, I will not spare you." Yanni gritted her teeth. He took out the fan from his arms and threw it at Gao Wen.

Gao Wen was caught off guard for a moment, and was hit in the eye by the fan, and couldn't help crying out.

"Puchi!" The entire lobby was full of laughter, and the yamen servants covered their bellies and bent down.

Du Zhixian's face was ashen, and he shouted: "Bold, how dare you roar in court and use torture!"

Han Kui had slapped Li Jinbao twice before, and the evil fire in his heart had nowhere to go, but this time he used torture, and it was extraordinarily ruthless.He actually beat the monk and the little novice until they were covered in blood and passed out, so they stopped and were dragged down to keep them safe.

After working for a long time, Shi Linsheng's family had already arrived in express sedan chair.In addition to Shi Linsheng and his wife, there are also their two sons.

As soon as she saw the demented woman who had been rescued, Shi Linsheng's old wife screamed and rushed to hug her and cried, "Ah San, my daughter, mother finally found you!"

Hearing this cry, Gao Wen and Li Jinbao heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. It really was Miss Shi's family. This case can finally be closed now, and their merits and virtues have also been consummated.
