Countryside Romance - Chapter 240

Both civilians and dignitaries can watch the competition process of the martial arts test at a specific seat.

At this time, Muyun and Huang are among a group of people, holding the fence and watching Lin Jinyan’s game from a distance.

Lin Jinyan’s skill is needless to say.

When he was on the martial arts competition platform, he passed the pass all the way.

In other words, these martial arts test platforms are usually occupied by aristocratic families. After all, children from poor families work hard to get enough to eat. Even if they want to change their fate, they will pass the literary test. Few people choose the martial test. But ordinary officials and nobles are different. They are more in military power. Therefore, many children of aristocratic families, like Jiangnan, practice martial arts from an early age in order to be able to make a splash during the martial arts test.

But today, they are doomed to make a wrong calculation. With the existence of Lin Jinyan, it is natural for him to win the first place in the martial arts test.

Twilight Yun saw half of it and knew that Lin Jinyan would win the championship.

She looked at Huang, who was always in high spirits, and said with a smile:

“Mom, you’re here watching Jinyan. I’ll go home and prepare a delicious meal.”

Naturally, Huang could see Lin Jinyan’s momentum, but it was the first time in her life that she saw so many people with high martial arts competing in the challenge arena. For a moment, she didn’t want to leave. Twilight Yun also saw her excitement, stopped Huang’s movement to turn around and gave her a step

“I’ll do what I’ve prepared for Lin Jinyan alone. Mom, look at Jin Yan here and don’t let him get hurt.”

Although Huang said “no, no”, he was very excited in his eyes. He pushed off several times and stayed.

At the same time, she felt a little sad about the courtesy of the ancients. It was a waste of time.

She returned to Jiangfu and prepared a celebration banquet for Lin Jinyan in advance.

Sure enough, when Lin Jinyan and Huang came back, they brought back the good news that Lin Jinyan won the first place. The Jiang family celebrated it with Muyun Huang’s Lin Jinyan.

Just when the atmosphere was just right, jigo stepped into the Jiang family in a bit of embarrassment.

It’s a bit awkward, but it’s not obvious.

Jigo himself still paid great attention to his description and appearance, so when he came to Jiang’s house at this time, the whole person looked neat, but there was a trace of fatigue and burnout in his eyes. He also heard that Lin Jinyan won the championship this afternoon, so he came to the Jiang family to congratulate Muyun.

However, the martial champion, like the literary champion, will not formally sue the world until a month later. At this time, Lin Jinyan’s No. 1 martial arts scholar has not been officially approved. They also celebrate in private.

Several people were very happy to see Ji Ge and took him to his seat one after another. Several people who knew him well, such as Mu Yun, Lin Jinyan, Huang Shi, had long seen his fatigue and looked at him with concern.

Ji Ge noticed their eyes and waved his hand slightly, indicating that they should not care about themselves. They should celebrate Lin Jinyan first and then discuss his problem.

Several people have been together for a long time, but they can know each other’s meaning with one look.

Just now, because of worrying about him, the original excitement has shrunk a little.

When the Lin family returned to their yard, Muyun asked Ji Ge:

“Aren’t you going to Beijing to report on your work today? What’s the matter? Haven’t you passed the exam?”

Ji Ge glanced at Mu Yun and didn’t answer.

Huang patted Muyun gently and said:

“Ji Ge of our family is the number one scholar. How can he not have passed the exam? I’m afraid there are other things delayed.”

Jigo breathed a long sigh of relief.

“I don’t know whether someone deliberately stumbling me or whether the imperial court really wants to reuse me. The exam given to me this time is a big problem. Have you ever heard that there was a big case in Beijing before?”

Muyun stayed with Xu Jiaying a few days ago. They shared their business experience in the past year. In addition, they also talked about some topics in Beijing.

Mu Yun laments what she has seen and heard, while Xu Jiaying will talk about the recent changes in Beijing.

One of them is the “bamboo leaf case”.

Don’t listen to the elegant name, but the things in it are very dirty.

“Is it the case that after stealing the property at home, she deliberately threw her daughter’s clothes on the street and left three traces of bamboo leaves at the place where the crime was committed?” Muyun added after getting a positive answer from Ji Ge, “I heard that there have been three similar cases in Beijing recently.”

Jigo nodded seriously and corrected:

“Just now, the fifth one has happened.”

Huang could not help worrying about:

“This big thief, even if he steals property, why steal some clothes from his daughter’s house and throw them on the street? He makes such a move. No matter whether those girls are innocent or not, I’m afraid it’s difficult to find his mother-in-law’s house after such a thing.”

Mu Yun nodded in agreement. She looked at Ji Ge and asked:

“Did the imperial court ask you to investigate this matter?”

Jigo shook his head and said with a wry smile:

“Where is the imperial court asking me to investigate this matter? This big case is the content of my assessment.”

Mu Yun was surprised when she heard the speech.

She originally thought that although this era was not the dynasties recorded in the history books, the content of the examination was probably the same, but she didn’t expect that the current court was so pragmatic, and the content of the examination was to let people handle cases.

Huang’s concerns were quite normal. She asked:

“This kind of case has been done for the fifth time. No one has found out the matter. At this time, you are sent to take the responsibility? Or…”

Huang’s thought is reasonable.

Many imperial court officials, just because they were unable to handle the case and did not want to bear responsibility, temporarily found a person to fill the VAT, entrusted the things they could not solve to others, and hung the accusation of incompetence on that person’s head.

Huang was afraid that jigo met such a thing.

Jigo shook his head and said:

“This big case, as my assessment content, is testified by the superior’s documents, and the time limit is also very broad, but…”

Jigo frowned tightly without adding the following words.

Although he didn’t say, Muyun could understand.

Ji Ge said plainly that he is still a common people in the capital. Although he has the title of No. 1 scholar, he can’t take it at all in a place like cabbage in the capital. He used to be a county magistrate in a small county. Although he made outstanding achievements, he was of no use in the capital.

After all, his popularity is in that town, but not in Beijing.

He wants to work in Beijing and needs all kinds of management, but he doesn’t even have a way to manage. It can be imagined how difficult it is for him to handle this case.

As for his mentor, he resigned long ago.

Mu Yun walked away from Ji Ge, patted him on the shoulder and said:

“Aren’t we leaning against a big tree now?”

In fact, she knew that jigo didn’t want to rely on others at all.

But the reality is that if jigo doesn’t use the power of outsiders, he can’t solve the case alone.

Ji Ge also knows what Mu Yun means.

Lin Jinyan broke in and said:

“I have finished the martial arts test. There should be nothing to do after that. Instead of being idle, I’d better explore it with you.”

It’s good to have one more person to help. The next day, they went to the victim’s home together to explore the traces left by the robber while asking whether the victims had a grudge with others.

Those victims, mostly wealthy businessmen, after hearing the intention of Jige, complained angrily about how much property they had lost in their home, and repeatedly stressed their daughter’s innocence, indicating that if they could not find out and let their daughter marry a good family, they would certainly find Jige in trouble.

Lin Jinyan only felt that the heads of these people seemed to lack a string. It was not Ji Ge who stole their property and slandered her daughter’s innocence. Why did they say evil words to Ji Ge instead?

Don’t they know that whether this matter can be investigated clearly depends on jigo?

After the inquiry and exploration, the two went to the Ministry of punishment for inquiry, and then to the Ministry of household for investigation. Then there were a series of small things. Lin Jinyan followed Ji Ge around and walked almost all the corners of the capital.

After Lin Jin came home, he first filled a pot of hot tea, then wiped his mouth and told Muyun his idea.

Mu Yun sneered and said:

“These rich businessmen who are used to living in the capital feel superior. When they see you ordinary people coming to inquire, they don’t pay attention to you, so they give orders. If you change into official clothes and ask them again, I’m afraid they want to offer you the best tea and bring you the best chair.”

When Muyun said this, she suddenly looked at Lin Jinyan and said:

“If you become an official in the future, don’t learn from them.”

Lin Jinyan got up, went to Muyun, held her in his arms and said:

“Because you are by my side, I have to think about it even if I want to be a bad person.”

After that, Lin Jinyan followed Ji Ge and ran around every day.

At the same time, Muyun didn’t do anything. She has a good relationship with Xu Jiaying. Naturally, she can get a lot of news from her. Therefore, although it was Ji Ge and Lin Jinyan who were investigating the case, in private, Mu Yun also used his own relationship.

Not only some rich ladies and wives who had made friends in the capital, she also bribed some hooligans and beggars in the capital to help them inquire about the news.

Such efforts will bear fruit.

“These cases were carried out late at night, and there were no witnesses. Even the watchmen in the United States didn’t find any abnormalities. It seems that the perpetrators must be very familiar with the capital. They either grew up in the capital or came to the capital to work in the early years. Anyway, they must have stayed in the capital for some time.”

“However, it can not be denied that this person had a detailed plan and made many inquiries before doing the case. It is also possible to avoid people’s eyes and ears, such as those who specialize in making a living.”

Mu Yun refutes Ji Ge’s words. Ji Ge thinks about it and feels that Mu Yun has something to say.

Lin Jinyan disagrees:

“I prefer jigo’s statement. I can still see some traces in the first few cases, but these traces have not been found in the recent cases. It seems that this man should be a novice when he did the first case, and then he gradually became familiar with the whole crime process. Therefore, it should be something that happened suddenly that made him decide to do it.”
