"In addition to naming, this character card also has an additional detection skill. Try the effect."
Bai Yu's thoughts moved slightly, and he felt that his eyes were as cool as if he had dropped eye drops, and the whole world became more colorful.
When he looked down the street, he almost fell off his horse. The white-haired people on the street quickly looked away to avoid getting corns.
Looking at the urban area where dignitaries live, the aura of majesty and purple is lingering, just like a fairyland on earth.
Looking at the urban area where ordinary people live, there is a mixture of gray and white, as if Fengdu is full of ghosts.
Finally, he looked in the direction of the palace and was shocked. He saw five golden dragons entrenched there. The dragon heads were majestic and their bodies were more than a hundred feet long. However, all five golden dragons were old and not young and majestic.
This gave him a chill in his heart. It seemed that the current Emperor was already in his twilight years.
Hurrying back to his home in Qifeng County, Bai Yu told Tao Yulian the happy news of his promotion to Chief of the Criminal Department.
Tao Yulian showed a smile. Her smile was really beautiful, with a touch of charm unique to a mature woman, but her smile was a bit forced, as if she was forced to smile.
Even though her husband was promoted, she was not happy. He Zhiyu, He Zhiyu, it seems that you have really disappointed her. Bai Yu sighed, look at me in the future, I will make her happy.
The next step is to go through the procedures. With the care of the right minister of the Ministry of Justice, the procedure was completed in just two days. Bai Yu's secretary appointment letter came out quickly. He received two new sets of secretary official robes, as well as seals, etc.
Some gadgets.
On the third day, before dawn, Bai Yu got up, put on his brand-new robes as an official, and straightened his appearance in front of the bronze mirror.
Tao Yulian in the next room got up earlier and had already made breakfast. After breakfast, he went to the Ministry of Punishment to check in. It was the first day of reporting. He came early to try to leave a good impression on his immediate boss.
"Sir, could you help me introduce you to your right servant?"
"grown ups......"
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the Criminal Department, Bai Yu was surrounded by several people. Apparently, some people saw Youshi Lang taking him in yesterday and thought that he could speak in front of Youshi Lang. If they couldn't ask for help from Youshi Lang, they asked him to come here.
Come.
Is it appropriate for you, a seventh- and eighth-grade person, to bow to me, a young ninth-grade person, and call me "Sir"?
Bai Yu thought it was very suitable. As the saying goes, "the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door", the person who shows the door to the prime minister is equivalent to the seventh-rank. The Ministry of Punishment is one of the six departments of the imperial court. He, a junior secretary, is directly under the Ministry of Punishment. It is an "invisible rank"
In fact, there are more than just nine grades.
He showed a reserved look on his face and slightly cupped his hands, "I will definitely tell your right servant."
After that, he entered the Criminal Department.
When it got daylight, Chief Wang, his immediate boss, arrived.
"I'm going to pay my respects to the person in charge."
Bai Yu smiled and bowed. He had seen him three days ago.
Manager Wang smiled and beckoned someone to make two cups of tea and bring them in, "We are all working under the right servant, so we don't need to be polite."
Bai Yu understood it and said, "I wonder if there are any cases that need to be followed up by my subordinates."
Manager Wang looked at the pile of cases on the table and handed one to him, "Please follow up on this case. The cases can only be read here and cannot be taken back. The position of the Secretary is quite special and he needs to travel around.
I run, so I don’t have to come to the Ministry of Justice every day to have a meal. I just need to come to the Ministry of Justice to have a meal once in a while when I have free time.”
"Thank you, sir, for your guidance."
Bai Yu took the case with both hands and looked through it.
This is the missing case of villagers in Taohua Village, Yongshou County, Jingzhao Prefecture. Since there has been no progress in Yongshou County for more than half a year, we need to follow up and understand the situation.
He has a very good memory and he remembered it after reading it twice.
Director Wang urged, "The most important thing to remember is that you are just following up to understand the progress of the investigation, rather than asking you to investigate the case. If you find that something is wrong, don't rush forward. Anyway, if the case cannot be solved in the end,
, that is also the responsibility of the investigators, and has nothing to do with you."
"I understand."
Bai Yu smiled and bowed again. In short, it was done...
After chatting for a while, Bai Yu left the Criminal Department.
He did not go directly to Yongshou County, but went home to catch up on his sleep.
I slept until noon. After lunch, I chatted with Tao Yulian and made daily routines. Mainly he talked and Tao Yulian answered.
Before leaving the house, I really couldn't hold it back and pinched Tao Yulian's cheek. Just like falling in love, it is useless to always talk about it, no matter how humorous it is, there must be substantial contact.
Let the relationship heat up, and future collisions will be easier to accept.
Tao Yulian stared at his leaving figure in confusion, and subconsciously raised her hand to touch her cheek.
Bai Yu rode his horse and walked leisurely towards Yongshou County.
Jingzhao Prefecture has eight counties under its jurisdiction. Qifeng County and Yongshou County are adjacent and not far away.
After walking for less than an hour, we arrived at the Yamen of Yongshou County.
The county magistrate received him warmly. As a county magistrate, this case has been dragging on for a long time, which is very detrimental to the county magistrate's political performance, so he hopes to resolve it as soon as possible.
The county magistrate called the head catcher in and said, "Report the details of the case to the Chief Executive of the Criminal Department."
"yes."
The catcher hurriedly bowed to Bai Yu with clasped fists and began to talk about the case.
This is actually a very simple case.
More than half a year ago, a villager in Taohua Village, Yongshou County disappeared while going up the mountain to cut firewood.
The next day, the villager's family and relatives went into the mountains to search together and found a hatchet and chopped firewood. They followed the trail and encountered a big snake.
Four were eaten on the spot, and the others were so frightened that they fled.
The village leader, the village chief, gathered the hunters in the village and went into the mountains to hunt big snakes. As a result, three of the hunters were eaten...
Seeing that the village could not solve the problem, Li Zheng hurriedly reported it to the Yongshou County Yamen.
The head catcher from the yamen went there with the agents.
The catcher's head was whipped away by his tail, and he was seriously injured. Two of the catchers were eaten.
The county had no choice but to issue a reward notice and post a "Snake Catching Notice" in the hope that capable people could kill the big snake.
A lot of capable people and strangers went there, the big snake was not killed, and they were still very full...
"You guys are giving it away one by one."
Bai Yu was speechless.
Finally, the county magistrate became angry and personally took people up the mountain to kill the snake. However, the big snake seemed to be smart and cunning. Whenever the magistrate came in person, it could not hide.
After searching several times without finding it, the county magistrate had a talent but had nowhere to put it to use, so he could only report it to Jingzhao Mansion and ask for support.
Bai Yu asked, "Didn't Jingzhao Mansion send anyone to support?"
The county magistrate smiled bitterly, "I'm here, but just like me, I can't find the big snake."
Bai Yu guessed, "Has the big snake left the boundaries of Yongshou County?"
The county magistrate shook his head and said, "I didn't leave. Not long ago, the big snake came out and ate two villagers. If this big snake is not eliminated, there will be no peace in our Yongshou County."
Bai Yu pondered for a moment, "Where is the Demon Exterminator?"
The county magistrate glanced at him and said, "Except for the Demon Chief, who is outside the court system and only obeys your Majesty's orders, we can't invite him here. Moreover, the big snake is not very strong. It is not even the level of a first-order monster."
If you can't reach it, you're not qualified to call the Demon Exterminator. That big snake is just good at hiding, so that's troublesome."
Can the imperial court hire a demon exterminator?
A low-level monster is not qualified to call the Demon Exterminator?
Only then did Bai Yu realize that the Demon Slayer Division was so concerned about it. It was obvious that the last time the Demon Slayer Division came to Fu County to investigate a case, the superiors took that case extremely seriously.
The county magistrate sighed, "I am the same as the people sent by Jingzhao Mansion. It's not that I can't defeat the big snake, but I can't find one. I lack an expert who specializes in tracking."
Tracking? Bai Yu's heart moved. His investigative eyes might be able to find the big snake, but he is the Division Chief of the Criminal Department and is only responsible for following up on the progress of the case. This matter of investigating and catching snakes is none of his business? It's not his business.
Within responsibilities.
To put it bluntly, if you catch it, you won’t get any credit. If you don’t catch it, you may be in danger. It’s a thankless job.
"I have done some research on tracking techniques."
He thought for a moment and decided to help.
After all, human life is at stake, and there is no need to ignore the life and death of villagers because of the "twisting" of officialdom.
He didn't finish his sentence to avoid embarrassment if he couldn't find it.
Of course, he was just tracking, and the dangerous matter of hunting the big snake should be left to the county magistrate.
