Chapter 118: Little Ghost Head's Ghost Hall
As the saying goes, you can enjoy the shade by leaning against a big tree.
Miss Shi has outstanding beauty and entered the palace through a talent show a few years ago.
Because she had no backer, she worked hard for several years to achieve the status of a beauty. In fact, she had no status at all in the harem.
But in the eyes of many people, the Shi family has a phoenix and a big tree that they can rely on to enjoy the shade.
Since then, Shi Juncheng's family has lived a very good life in Hedong County.
Although his official position has not changed, his figure has grown one size every year, making the skinny and thin Governor Bai even more invisible.
The yamen servant who was ordered to come to invite him was a little more careful when he saw that he looked calm.
After listening to the yamen officer's explanation of his purpose, Shi Juncheng's slender eyes suddenly widened: "Officials from Dali Temple? How many are here? What are they like?"
A series of questioning made the officer even more nervous: "Back to my lord, I have not seen the official from the capital. It is the county governor who asked you to come over quickly to discuss matters."
The word "quickly" made Shi Juncheng a little unhappy, but he still didn't dare to neglect officials from Beijing.
He stood up, shook his official uniform, and followed the yamen servant to the lobby.
Sheriff Bai changed his previous submissive attitude, only nodded slightly to him, and began to introduce the young man sitting beside him.
"Master Shi, this is Master Yu who was ordered to come to Hedong County to handle the case."
Shi Juncheng glanced at Huan Yu, cupped his hands and said, "Master Yu."
Huan Yu stood up and returned the salute: "Master Shi."
Shi Juncheng is different from the conservative Bai Junsheng. Since his eldest daughter entered the palace, she has often traveled to the capital in the past few years and has established some connections.
But there are too many powerful people in the capital, and with officials such as the Minister of Dali who are not too high-ranking but hold real power, there are countless nobles who want to be attached to.
With his financial resources, he can only reach some fringe figures in the court.
These people could not help him get promoted and make a fortune, but through them, Shi Juncheng could basically find out the situation of the powerful and important officials in the capital.
Today, Mr. Yu is only seventeen or eighteen years old. He is already walking in Dali Temple and can go out alone to handle cases. He cannot be from a poor family.
But he quickly went through his memory and couldn't recall any powerful family in Beijing whose surname was Yu.
He wanted to inquire about the other party's whereabouts, but Huan Yu had already sat down and began to explain the purpose of his visit to Governor Bai.
Shi Juncheng has not received such cold treatment for many years.
He squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Bi who was standing behind Huan Yu.
hehe……
Is it so easy to get food in Dali Temple now? A young boy like him can go out to do errands!
Xiao Bi rolled her eyelids and raised her chin again.
Shi Juncheng choked, this brat...
Just when he was about to launch an attack, he heard Huan Yu say: "Master Bai, please send out all the government officials and policemen in Hedong County. We must arrest Liu Yunxizuo who has sneaked into the Wei Dynasty as soon as possible."
Shi Juncheng couldn't listen anymore: "Master Yu said it so lightly! Hedong County is a vast area with a dense population. How many people do the government offices and county offices have in total?
If all the yamen and police officers are dispatched, who will handle so many affairs and cases?
Besides, the appearance of Liuyun people is very similar to that of the Wei people. How can we arrest him as soon as possible without any clues?"
Huan Yu frowned and sneered: "According to Master Shi's wishes, because the government offices in the county offices are short of manpower and the clues to the case are unclear, the enemy's craftsmen can be allowed to do whatever they want in the territory of Wei Dynasty?"
Shi Juncheng said patiently: "I have never said anything like this. I just ask Master Yu to be considerate of the difficulties of everyone below."
Huan Yu said coolly: "I also want to understand you, but who will understand me?"
Mr. Shi said angrily: "Although my subordinates have a humble position, they still know the laws. Although Dali Temple is in charge of hearing criminal and prison cases, it does not have the power to regulate various counties and counties."
Does Mr. Yu's actions seem to be overstepping his authority?"
Huan Yu's expression remained indifferent: "Although Dali Temple is responsible for investigating this case, I am not an official of Dali Temple."
Mr. Shi's heart tightened, this guy is obviously so young, how come...
Sheriff Bai, who had not spoken for a long time, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"There is a misunderstanding between the lower official and Mr. Shi. May I ask which government office in Beijing Mr. Yu works for?"
Huan Yu raised his hand: "Xiao Jiu, tell the two adults which bowl of rice we are eating."
To be honest, he really couldn't pretend anymore.
Xiaojiu, this little devil, insists on doing all these tricks...
Xiao Bi has been waiting for this moment since she stepped into the government office.
She showed off her gold medal with what she thought was the most handsome and domineering move.
The gold medal was not big, but the words "I am here in person" were clearly seen by Sheriff Bai and Shi Juncheng.
The two men stood up and knelt down in a hurry: "I am ignorant of Mount Tai. I hope the two imperial envoys will atone for their sins."
Huan Yu said: "Two adults, please rise. Liuyun Xizuo has alarmed Your Majesty. I hope that you two adults will cooperate fully."
When Liu Yun Xizuo is arrested and brought to justice, I will definitely ask for credit on your behalf."
"Thank you, Lord Yu." Sheriff Bai and Juncheng Shi responded in unison.
Huan Yu added: "In order to prevent the news from leaking, the words 'Liu Yun Xin Zuo' must not be leaked. Do you two adults have any good ideas?"
Commander Bai said: "Liuyun Kingdom has no contact with our country, the Great Wei Dynasty, so there is no way that the Liuyun people have a road guide to the Great Wei Dynasty.
It is better to screen the entire Hedong County on the pretext of checking household registration, and arrest any suspicious persons immediately."
Huan Yu and Xiao Bi's original intention was to muddy the waters, so they didn't need to worry about what methods Governor Bai used.
He smiled and said, "I think Master Bai's method is feasible. Does Master Shi have any better suggestions?"
Shi Juncheng's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Master Bai's method is excellent, and I second my opinion."
Huan Yu stood up and shook his robe: "That's very good. I have something important to do, so I'll take my leave first."
"Master Yu..." Commander Bai called out.
"Master Bai wants to ask how to deal with Liu Yun Xizuo?"
"Since this matter has alarmed His Majesty, my subordinates dare not specialize in it."
"He will be detained in the government prison first, and I will send someone to hand him over."
"Yes, I would like to send you off, sir." Sheriff Bai bowed and saluted, watching the two of them leave.
It wasn't until Huan Yu and Xiao Bi had gone away that he turned around and looked at Shi Juncheng, who was still in a daze.
"Master Shi, Master Yu are both gone!"
They had worked together for so many years, and he had never seen Shi Juncheng react so slowly.
Especially when facing Shangguan, this guy never jumped up and down, wishing that he, the county guard, could be squeezed into a corner.
Today is really weird!
Shi Juncheng suddenly woke up, picked up his official robe and ran out without saying a word.
"Master Shi, where are you going?" Sheriff Bai shouted at the top of his lungs.
Master Shi's fat body ran to the stable at an incredible speed, and jumped onto the carriage with lightning speed.
Chapter completed!
