After hearing the words of the governor, Su County Magistrate quickly raised his hands and said: "Your Excellency, you are so complimentary. This is all thanks to the official's wise son-in-law who has a lot of research on the law. The Yong'an County Yamen can even solve the big case with the official's son-in-law."
Quite a lot.”
The governor was slightly startled when he heard Magistrate Su's words, and then looked at Xu Qing next to Magistrate Su: "Is this the virtuous son-in-law of Su's family?"
County Magistrate Su nodded and said with a smile: "Exactly, his surname is Xu Mingqing. He used to be an outstanding police officer in Yong'an County. However, he had a secret affair with his little girl. The subordinate couldn't bear to separate the two, so he simply made them happy.
, Unexpectedly, this son-in-law of Xiaguan seems to be naturally proficient in solving cases. Even after reading the new law of the imperial court twice, the son-in-law of Xiaguan is familiar with it. In the past few days, the official will call him to his side every time he solves a case.
He was ready for consultation, but he didn’t expect that in these few cases, the magistrate would almost become a messenger for him. He had a list of laws and corresponding punishments at his fingertips, so as to convince the people who came to complain. During this time, he helped
There are many subordinate officials."
When the governor heard this, he was also quite surprised and said: "Captain? I admire Mr. Su's open-mindedness."
The governor asked himself that he would never let his daughter marry a young policeman. Naturally, a woman must follow her parents' orders when marrying, and she must be a good match. How could she let her daughter do what she wants like Magistrate Su?
Are you having a temper?!
Unexpectedly, the Yong'an County Magistrate was so tolerant. His daughter liked this person and Magistrate Su went to make it happen.
However, what he said seemed to be a blessing in disguise. He couldn't stop praising his son-in-law, a detective. Yong'an County was able to solve major cases in a row. It seemed that his son-in-law's efforts were extraordinary.
It seems that the Yong'an County Magistrate has found a treasure.
It is true that it is possible to find pearls in the sand, but the governor would not look for pearls in the sand, so the possibility is almost non-existent.
The governor would not gamble like Magistrate Su.
However, the governor was slightly surprised when he looked at Xu Qing. He was wearing a scholar's robe and this handsome face. He really was a handsome young man. If Su County Magistrate didn't tell him, the governor would probably think that this was him.
A scholar who is always with books.
But no one noticed that Xu Sima's face became increasingly ugly.
At this time, someone came to complain again.
The governor said: "We are lucky enough to catch up with a case. Why don't you let me see how Mr. Su and his son-in-law cooperated in the trial? Mr. Su just praised you as a good son-in-law.
God, how about letting me take a look?"
Su County Magistrate cupped his hands and said, "When the Governor opens his mouth, all subordinates will obey. You two sirs are invited."
The two of them were sitting in the side seats of the courtroom and saw a scene that left them dumbfounded.
The young man with a background as a police officer was as familiar with the new law as if he had written it himself. He could easily pick it out line by line, and the Su County Magistrate had almost become a messenger.
Just repeat everything Xu Qing said in the courtroom and pass it on to the prisoner.
After the case was over, both the complainant and the defendant were convinced.
The governor of Rang was quite shocked. He had read the law in detail in the past few days, but he had only read half of it, let alone used it flexibly.
But this young man seemed to know it by heart. Not only could he list the crimes quickly, but he even mentioned in front of them which volume and article the crime was in!
What's even more frightening is that each sin corresponds to which law, and the punishment is dealt with calmly, as if he was familiar with the law himself.
At this moment, the governor finally knew why Yong'an County was so peaceful and harmonious. With such a talented person under Magistrate Su, it would be difficult to misjudge a case!
After retreating
The governor sat in the back hall and looked at Xu Qing and said: "Originally, I thought Magistrate Su was praising you, but I didn't expect you to be so proficient in the law. It just so happened that there was a vacancy for a county captain in Yong'an County at this time, so why not
How about I write to the court and fill the vacancy of the county captain? Such talents should not be wasted like this."
County magistrates need documents issued by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but county lieutenants are different. County lieutenants and other assistant officials are generally appointed by the local government and then reported to the court.
Far less qualified than a county magistrate.
Even though Xu Qing was just a small detective at this time, as long as the governor recommended Xu Qing, he could quickly become a county captain.
Magistrate Su was overjoyed when he heard this. Being an official is better than running a shop! After all, who doesn't like being an official?
Moreover, if Xu Qing becomes the county lieutenant, he will no longer have to work so hard to judge cases. He can just leave it to Xu Qing. Anyway, the county lieutenant is the official who maintains public order in the county.
Magistrate Su looked at Xu Qing and said, "Why are you still standing there? Why don't you thank the governor quickly?"
Xu Qing shook his head at this time, bowed his hand to the governor and said: "I would like to thank you for your kindness. It's a pity that I opened a shop in partnership with others. I am already a businessman and can no longer enter the officialdom."
County Magistrate Su was slightly startled when he heard this. Xu Qing had been helping him solve the case in the past few days, and he almost forgot that Xu Qing still opened a shop...
It's a pity that officials in Dachu banned business.
When the governor heard this, he sighed and said, "This is a pity."
Then the governor thought for a while and said: "Why don't you close your shop today? If you close your shop, you will no longer be a businessman. If I recommend you again, I can ensure that you become an official."
Magistrate Su's eyes were filled with joy again, which was in sharp contrast to Xu Sima's increasingly livid expression beside him.
It seems that the governor is determined to recommend Xu Qing as an official!
Unexpectedly, Xu Qing shook his head again and said, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. It's just that I've already negotiated the remuneration and made a contract with my partner, so I'm afraid it's hard to break the contract."
Magistrate Su almost stamped his feet in anger when he heard this. Xu Sima's expression softened slightly, but he did not expect Xu Qing to be so ignorant of praise.
The governor was a little displeased when he heard this. He rarely recommended people as officials. At this time, Xu Qing's excellence also made him love talents. Unexpectedly, this person turned down the job repeatedly.
He would rather be a mere businessman than an official? He really doesn't seek advancement at all!
The mentality of the governor is the common thought of most people in this era. Everything is inferior, only studying is good, and the ultimate purpose of studying is to become an official.
Anyone who doesn’t want to be an official must be out of their mind!
At this moment, the governor felt that there was a person with abnormal brain standing in front of him...
