There are many treasures in this country

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Yan took Xiao Suo, Shi Shi and two teams of escorts to the Yuezhou government office.

After all, the person who is in the hand of the sacred decree walks a little more airily than before.General Shen held a yellow silk secret decree, even though Chen Jigu had an ugly face, he didn't dare to stop him, he made a gloomy smile, and said: "I don't know what case the general is here to investigate, I might help you a little ?”

Naturally, Shen Yan would not back it up, and just said: "Master Futai is too polite, there is no big case to investigate! It was the letter from the emperor the day before yesterday, saying that Shen did not read too much and was illiterate, and he was quite embarrassing to the court. Ding You at home Three years cannot be wasted, so Shen is specially allowed to come to the government office to look through the documents, so that he can learn to deal with some economic and people's livelihood affairs!"

Chen Jigu cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Oh, congratulations to General Shen! The emperor's kindness is great, this is to cultivate generals on purpose! I am afraid that after three years, the Holy Majesty will promote generals to supervise important military and political affairs!"

Shen Yan also chatted with him: "Master Chen is too flattering on Shen, he can't read all the words, and he supervises important military and political affairs!" Patting Xiao Suo's shoulder behind him, said: "No, even to read the letter, you have to find someone Scholar to help read!"

Xiao Suo lowered his eyes, bowed his hands to the mansion, and didn't say much.

Chen Jigu squinted at him, and said, "Xiao Xiucai is a well-known child prodigy in Zhuoyang. He is so knowledgeable that he can be called a sea of ​​books with two feet! General Shen is really a dragon and a phoenix among men, with his eyes like a torch, he picked Xiao Xiucai with one glance. The ability to know people is beyond the reach of lower officials! Continue to rise in the future, but don't forget to support lower officials!"

"Where, where, I would like to borrow some good words from Mr. Chen!" Shen Yan said a few words modestly, and then heard him say: "The general is new to local government affairs, so I'm afraid I'm not familiar with it. I have two book offices here, one is a king, and the criminal name is Qiangu. I know everything very well, the general just take it and order it.”

Sure enough, two people walked out from behind him, the one surnamed Wang was tall and thin and dark, the one surnamed Zhang was short and fat and fair, both of them looked shrewd, Wang Shuban looked taciturn, but Zhang Shuban was stupid on the outside and strong on the inside. Laugh when angry.

Shen Yan thanked him, and led his entourage into the file vault.The two book offices followed closely behind, following suit, with the word "surveillance" written all over their faces.

Eleven took the opportunity to pull the two of them away, and said with a smile: "You two, how dare you work hard, you two masters! There is good tea in this box, which was brought by the young one from Hongjian Tower in Beijing. You don't dislike it, and How about a drink?"

He is fine, and others are not stupid.

Both Zhang and Wang said in unison: "Mr. Shen invited me, so I shouldn't decline it. But we two are low-ranking, so we should not be treated with such courtesy. Besides, Mr. Chen ordered me to come to help General Shen, and now I haven't read a single document. There is a reason to be lazy!"

Shen Yan glanced at the two of them, knowing that the two cowhide plasters were hard to get rid of, so he had to continue acting.He casually picked up a book from the shelf and handed it to Xiao Suo, saying: "This general speaks well, but he doesn't know many words. Please trouble Xiao Xiucai to read it and listen to it. The two bookkeepers are by your side. If there is anything you don't understand, please let me know." I'll just ask. Don't be bothered!"

"How dare, how dare!" King Zhang bowed hurriedly.

Xiao Suo was holding the old file of the criminal prison in his hand, he opened a page, and said in a clear and regular voice: "Meng Chun in the 29th year of the Apocalypse, the bandit named 'Iron Hand Man Tu' committed a crime within the jurisdiction of Yuezhou Prefecture , killing five people and injuring 21 people. In May, the case was reported to Dali Temple. In June, Emperor Xianwen approved it, and Dali Temple signed it alone, issued a sea arrest document, and wrote in every state and county in the world. The state government has the right to rectify the law on the spot. In July, the thief was arrested in the capital and put in prison pending trial."

Speaking of this, Xiao Suo suddenly paused, glanced at Shen Yan, and continued: "In August, Emperor Wen died, and he ascended the throne today, amnesty the world, and the iron-handed man Tu disappeared without a trace. In September of the next year, this thief died again Jiannan Dao ran around and committed crimes, killing 130 people, injuring [-] people, and none of them survived. The case was heard by the heavens, and the whole court was shocked."

"Today, the Ming Dynasty issued an edict to combine the two cases, and ordered the Ministry of Punishments to investigate together with Dali Temple. In November, the iron-handed man Tu was arrested in Zhuoyang and died due to fighting with weapons. Only 32 other accomplices were captured. The case was investigated by the prefect of Yuezhou. Chen Jigu interrogated himself, and was supervised by Liu Mingyu, the Jiangnan Road Prosecution Prison at that time. All the suspects confessed, and they were either beheaded or exodus afterwards. In December, the case files were submitted to Dali Temple for review, none of them were rejected, and then they were handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for archiving storage."

Shen Yan waved his hand and said: "I have heard the matter of Chen Zhima rotten millet hundreds of times. Change it and read it again."

Xiao Suo turned a page and continued reading.Zhang and Wang stood beside them.Shen Yan squinted his eyes, drank tea with his legs crossed, and occasionally frowned. With a glance in his eyes, someone from Zhang Wang must explain the whole story, and his words hit the point and hit the nail on the head.

Shen Yan pretended to be indifferent on the surface, but secretly admired him in his heart. He didn't know that the two small book offices had such profound skills.Because he led troops all the year round, he seldom dealt with the Yamen Gate, and he belonged to the Royal Guard, and he didn't even go to the Ministry of War often, so he didn't know much about it.

In fact, although the clerks in the yamen are official, they are hereditary. Everyone has a book in their hands, and the records are all old rules that cannot be bought.Based on his work experience alone, he can assist the military and civilians in important affairs, and can control the local ruffians and gentry in the lower level. He is a real power faction.

The so-called "the king of Hades is easy to see, but the little ghosts are hard to deal with", no matter how senior the official is, he cannot avoid dealing with them.If you offend them with your words, or if your actions are not thoughtful, you may not know where you will get stumbling in the future.Therefore, even the big officials in the frontier are polite to the book office.

After reading like this for a whole morning, Shen Yan's eyes were full of stars, his head was dizzy, but the two plasters on his body could not be torn off, he secretly scolded Chen Jigu for being an old bastard, and at the same time slandered the magistrate for being inhuman!

Xiao Suo also felt uncomfortable, his mouth was dry after reading, and he drank too much tea and ran to the toilet every now and then, which was really embarrassing.Shen Yan couldn't bear it in his heart, and at noon, he wanted to go back home for lunch.

As soon as the group reached the door, Chen Jigu caught up and invited them to have dinner in the yamen.Shen Yan couldn't refuse, so he took Xiao Suo to the flower hall behind the government office.

Chen Jigu prepared thoughtfully, and the meal was neither extravagant nor frugal.The servant handed over the bamboo chopsticks, but Shen Yan didn't move. He took out a pair of silver chopsticks from his pocket, and said with a smile, "Don't blame me, my lord, this is a bad problem I've had for many years. The guy who eats keeps it with me. Those who are not used to others."

Chen Jigu accompanied the table, he didn't believe that the food would be poisonous, but just in case, he still had to be prepared.

"How dare you blame me, the general is really a person with the most affection and nature!" Chen Jigu twitched the corners of his lips, and said again: "The general is used to marching for a long time, I wonder if he also prepares his own tableware in the army?"

Shen Yan pulled Xiao Suo away, ordered him to stand behind him, and said: "Naturally! When the city was destroyed in the westward expedition to Samahan, the enemy leader was still cooking camels inside. It happened that General Ben bumped into him and took out the Chopsticks competed with them! The Holy Majesty learned about this, and ordered him to reprimand him, demoting Shen to a certain level!"

Chen Jigu laughed loudly, and mingled with Shen Yan, drinking until the afternoon.

When he went back, Xiao Suo, who hadn't eaten for a day, was sitting in the carriage, and his stomach growled in disappointment.It was just a slight wriggling sound at first, and then it became louder and louder.Xiao Xiucai looked sideways at the window to cover up, blushing unconsciously.

Shen Yan, half drunk, was leaning against the carriage with his eyes closed to rest, when he heard the sound, he took his hand to comfort him.Xiao Suo didn't even hide.General Shen was very helpful and thought: "It really makes a difference after getting under a quilt!"

He raised his head and closed his eyes and explained: "I don't trust you to eat Chen Jigu's food. I go back early on Eleventh and order the cook to prepare it. We should have it ready when we get home."

Xiao Suo's face became more and more red, and there was a "hmm" in his throat.Shen Yan laughed lowly, half pulled and half pulled him, and held him in his arms, feeling satisfied in his heart: So good, so soft!

In the middle of the night, Shen Yan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, his arms were empty.I could bear it before, but I couldn't bear it after I tasted it once.He thought to himself, maybe Xiao Suo is as unknown as he is.

In order to pretend to be noble, he always ordered Eleven to find Xiao Suo.Now that they met each other sincerely, Shen Yan no longer put on airs, and put on his clothes to knock on Xiao Suo's door.

He hadn't slept yet, holding two books and reading under the lamp.Shen Yan lamented that it was not easy for his family to have a unique treasure, but at the same time thought, maybe he should use some tricks and find a way to make a name for him.

When Xiao Suo opened the door to see him, he was slightly surprised, and hurriedly invited him in to sit down.Shen Yan leaned against the desk with half of his body, saw the table full of sage books, suddenly had a bad idea in his mind, looked at Xiao Suo's innocent and devout face, and gave up again.
