Chapter 2: Clever calculations are thrown together
Chapter 2 A clever plan was laid out
By the Jinshan River, Zhao Dongchen, the former magistrate of Jinshan County, was sitting on the fishing platform at the moment, holding a fishing rod in his hand and staring intently at the river. The seventh-grade official uniform he was wearing was extremely conspicuous, and it did not match the fishing figure in front of him at all.
A yamen servant ignored the scorching heat on his body and held an umbrella for him with one hand and waved a fan with the other. Sometimes he flattered him about his superb fishing skills, sometimes he boasted about his abundant harvests, which made Mr. Zhao so happy that he couldn't even float.
I know how much I weigh.
In an open space next to it, a bill was placed, with government officials standing on both sides.
These are two groups of government servants who are following Mr. Zhao on duty. They are facing each other, standing upright in the courtroom, extremely solemn and solemn.
In the middle of them, an old woman and a child were kneeling.
At this moment, the old woman looked a little exhausted under the scorching sun. Her expression was painful but she did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. She just tried her best to block some sunlight with her body so as to leave more shade for the children around her.
No one paid attention to them. They were ignored like air but they still existed because they were insignificant and would not affect the mood of everyone present.
Su Xuan and Xiaojing came to the river and headed directly towards the open space.
Just as the officer in charge of the station was about to stop the two of them, Xiaojing immediately said to the officer: "I'd like to trouble this elder brother to report to Mr. Zhao that the newly appointed magistrate of Jinshan County, Mr. Chi Rui, wants to see you!"
"Master Chi?" The guard glanced at Su Xuan in surprise, with complicated eyes but didn't say anything. After a long time, he finally said, "Wait!"
Then he turned around and walked towards the direction where Zhao Dongchen was fishing.
Zhao Dongchen also discovered that Yousheng Rang had come here. With his many years of experience in making money, he naturally knew that these two people were not here to resolve the case, so he immediately asked the police officer around him dissatisfied: "What's going on? It's not an explanation.
Do you want no one to disturb me while I’m fishing?”
"Replying to the master, the brother on duty came to report that it is Mr. Chi Rui, the newly appointed magistrate of Jinshan County, who wants to see you." The officer did not dare to hide it, and told Zhao Dongchen everything about the situation reported by the brother on duty.
, and then waited for Zhao Dongchen’s instructions.
"How is this possible? He is not at the inn..." Zhao Dongchen lost his enthusiasm for fishing and immediately climbed up from the chair, with an expression of surprise and disbelief on his face.
"Master, now is not the time to talk about this. Now that they have arrived here, the key is to think about how to send him away?" the officer immediately said to Zhao Dongchen.
"Here he comes, what's the point of sending him away? The fire at the inn has nothing to do with me, so I can still be afraid of him!" Zhao Dongchen immediately turned around and said to the officer beside him, "Let's go, follow me.
Meet him!"
"Yes!" Naturally, the guard did not dare to neglect. He immediately responded to Zhao Dongchen and followed Zhao Dongchen all the way towards Su Xuan.
Zhao Dongchen came to Su Xuan. Since he was not an old friend, he naturally had no courtesy and asked directly to Su Xuan: "You said you are Mr. Chi Ruichi, do you have your official credentials?"
"Mirror, open it for him to see!" Su Xuan heard the other party's inquiry and immediately said to the small mirror.
The little mirror immediately took the order, took out something from the bag, and unfolded it for Zhao Dongchen to see.
The date of taking office was clearly written on it, as well as Chi Rui's name and the seal stamped by the official department, all of which were readily available.
"Since Mr. Chi Rui has arrived, I will naturally follow the arrangements of the officials and hand over everything in Jinshan County to Mr. Chi when I return to the county office. But before that, I must first hand over the grandparents and grandsons in front of me to Mr. Chi.
This is also what Mr. Chi should do for the official side, so I won't be able to ask about it!" Zhao Dongchen's face clearly didn't want to see Su Xuan, but he had no choice but to do anything. In the end, he just looked at the old woman kneeling on one side, and then said to Su Xuan.
"What's going on?" Su Xuan just discovered the old woman and the child. She didn't know the reason and immediately asked Zhao Dongchen.
"You are the magistrate, you should ask her instead of me, do you understand? Master Chi!" Zhao Dongchen said to Su Xuan immediately, as if he wanted to see Su Xuan's joke.
After saying this, Zhao Dongchen walked away.
As Zhao Dongchen left, the two teams of government servants and the servants around him all left immediately. No one planned to stay and help her.
"What does he mean? Take everyone away and let us adults decide the case!" When Xiao Jingming saw this situation, he immediately shouted at the backs of these officers as they left.
"Forget it! He can't wait to see me disappear, so how can he leave people to help us?" Su Xuan had a clear vision and knew the depth of the water in Jinshan County. What they encountered now was just the beginning, and what they encountered in the future was just the beginning.
I'm afraid it will be even more difficult than this, so she must be mentally prepared.
"Then what should we do now?" Xiaojing didn't know how to start. You must know that none of them have what they want now, and they have never obtained the position they want. Zhao is simply preparing a big pit for them to step on. She really doesn't want to
Know what to do.
At this moment, the old woman fainted and the child was so frightened that she started crying.
"Little Mirror, hurry up and get a bowl of water, save people first!" Su Xuan said immediately to the little mirror.
Although she didn't know what grievances this old woman had, since she had met her, she couldn't ignore her, not to mention that it was inappropriate for her to ignore her now that her life was in danger.
Xiaojing didn't dare to delay, so he immediately picked up a bowl from the table, rushed directly to the river, fetched a bowl of water and gave it to Su Xuan.
Su Xuan held the old woman's head with her left hand, took the bowl with her right hand, and fed the water to the old woman to drink. It took a while for the old woman to open her eyes, but she did not say a word of thanks to Su Xuan.
Cried.
"Old man, if you have any grievances, just tell me, and I will make the decision for you!" Seeing her aggrieved look, Su Xuan asked the old woman directly without caring about anything else.
"The old woman has no money, and the old woman cannot afford to file a lawsuit!" The old woman immediately broke away from Su Xuan's arms, knelt in front of Su Xuan, and said to Su Xuan, "I don't want to sue anymore. Sir, please let me
Old woman, please go home with your grandson!"
It seemed that she had completely lost confidence because of Mr. Zhao's attitude towards her just now. She felt that all officials were unreliable, so her appeal at the moment was to let her go home.
"Old man, I am different from Mr. Zhao. I don't need any money from you!" Su Xuan sympathized with the old woman and felt that she was too late, so she suffered such inhuman treatment.
So she felt guilty.
"Sir, you don't want the old woman's money, but you are all alone now. You don't even have an obedient person to serve as a servant. How can you make the decision for the old woman?" It seems that the old woman has taken note of everything that just happened.
In his eyes, that’s why he said such a sentence.
