Li Yi walked up to the two government officials, pointed at the man and asked.
One of the government officials was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "Back to the county captain, this man maliciously hurt others and was captured by us on the street. We are about to take him to the county jail."
"Benefactor!"
At this time, the man also reacted, looked at Li Yi, and said with surprise.
When the two government officials saw this scene, they immediately became confused. Could it be that he knew the county captain?
"It's just a trivial matter. Don't mention the word benefactor again." Li Yi waved his hand to the man, and then asked the two government officials: "Tell me more specifically, what is going on?"
The big man in front of him was the man he met when he solved the silver theft case last time on the street. That day, he was stolen by a middle-aged scribe. The two argued endlessly over the ownership of the money. Li Yi wanted to get money from Li Mingzhu.
I escaped, used this matter to make a bet with him, and inadvertently helped him. I still have an impression of him at this moment.
This man is quite filial to his mother at home. He is not like a criminal. The county jail is not easy to stay in. Even if he is not tortured, it will be uncomfortable to live for a few days. If it is not a big deal, he will be spared.
It doesn't matter to him once.
When the yamen officer saw that the county captain was interested in the case, he immediately told everything he knew.
Only then did Li Yi know that the reason why this big man was brought to the county government was because he injured a pharmacy clerk. It is said that the pharmacy clerk sold the moldy medicinal materials to this man for a small profit.
My mother was seriously ill. After drinking the concoction, she almost died, but she finally managed to save her life.
After learning the truth from the doctor, the big man immediately became angry, rushed into the drug store, and beat the man half to death. Two policemen who were passing by happened to see him and arrested him.
Although the drug store clerk was at fault, fortunately it did not cause any serious disaster. Instead, the man beat him half to death, intentionally hurting others, and was taken back to the Yamen on the spot.
"What's your name?" Li Yi looked at the big man and asked.
"Well..., back to my lord, the villain Wu Er."
The big man originally wanted to call his benefactor, but thinking of what Li Yi just said, he immediately changed his name and imitated the two officials.
Li Yi turned to look at the two government officials and asked, "How serious is the guy's injury?"
One of the government officials shook his head and said, "Although I was beaten to a bruised and swollen face, and it was hideous and terrifying, my life is not in danger. I can cultivate myself in a few days."
Li Yi nodded and said: "If you take him back to prison, you will have to provide him with two meals a day. This Wu Er is also worried about his mother. He is very filial and can understand his impulsiveness. If there is nothing serious about the drug shop clerk,
, just let him go."
The two government officials were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they immediately nodded, "Yes, your Excellency is right."
The two of them let go of the man and saw that he was still standing there stupidly. One of them slapped him on the head and said, "What are you doing standing there? Why don't you thank the county captain quickly!"
The big man came back to his senses, a hint of joy appeared on his face, and he immediately knelt down and said loudly: "Thank you, Lord County Lieutenant! Thank you, Lord County Lieutenant!"
I don’t know who these people learned from. They had to kneel down when they saw an official. Li Yi wanted to help him up, but the strength of this big man was not small. He knelt on the ground with a thump and kowtowed twice.
"Okay, okay, don't kowtow. I'm thinking of you this time for the sake of filial piety. In the future, when you act, think more in your mind. If you have anything to do, you can come to the Yamen for help. Don't be so impulsive." Li Yi waved his hand and said.
The big man laughed twice and thanked her several times. He was worried that there would be no one to take care of his mother at home, so he left in a hurry.
"My lord is kind and virtuous, and my subordinates admire you!"
Ignoring the flattery of the two government officials, Li Yi waved his hand casually, called Lao Fang from the back hall, and walked out of the county government office.
In this era, the commuting time of officials was very different from that of later generations, because major officials such as the county magistrate and county magistrate lived in the yamen and had to start work at six or seven in the morning. However, they got off work earlier, around three or four in the afternoon. You can go home from get off work when you order.
According to the unified regulations, except for some important festivals, officials are subject to the rule of "five days off and one bath", which means that for every five days of work, they can take one day off to go home and take a shower, which is quite scientific.
.
However, Li Yi is a special case in the county government.
Perhaps Li Mingzhu's conscience discovered that she wanted to make up for her debt to him, so many rigid regulations were relaxed for him. He did not need to live in the county government office or come to work early in the morning. Compared with County Magistrate Liu,
It's much freer.
Li Xuan was very trustworthy. Li Yi had received the horse that he had given to him a few days ago, but unfortunately... he hadn't learned to ride a horse yet.
The horse was temporarily requisitioned by Liu Ruyi. She seemed to like the horse very much and had not mentioned its return since requisitioning it.
Dressed in bright clothes and angry horses, fighting swords to the end of the world is not only Li Yi's dream, he has had a lot of contact with Liu Ruyi during this period. She likes the Jianghu in the martial arts novels Li Yi talks about most. Every time Li Yi talks about those martial arts
When she is a matchless heroine, her eyes will sparkle.
As a sister-in-law and martial arts coach, she had said that she would teach Li Yi how to ride a horse, and Li Yi had been looking forward to it for several days.
I imagined that riding a horse on the road in gorgeous clothes would be very cool. If paired with a long sword like Liu Ruyi's, it might actually look a bit heroic.
Li Yi actually didn't like the waist knife assigned to him. There is a saying that the sword is the first of all weapons. In his impression, heroes generally use swords. When he thought of it,
Sword, the first thing that comes to mind should be a group of rough men, all holding big sabers in their hands, rushing down from the mountain, shouting "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree..."
Class, the sense of violation is too strong.
When he got the chance, he would switch to another sword wielder in the future. He always felt that Liu Ruyi used a sword very coolly, with a cold expression and a silent sword. If he went around in the world in the future, he would be nicknamed "The Deathly Fairy" and he would probably be able to seduce everyone.
A lot of people.
If you think about it more carefully, the princess catcher is actually quite cool wearing that uniform with a waist knife, but I have never seen her draw the knife, but think about the way she cuts with the knife, no matter how cool the image is
All gone.
After some bargaining with Li Mingzhu, Li Yi's life after becoming a county captain actually did not change much from before. He came down from Liuyezhai in the morning and went back in the afternoon. However, the place where he stayed during the day changed from Ruyifang to the county.
Yamen.
Winter has just entered, it hasn't snowed yet, and the weather is already a bit cold.
When I went out in the morning, I told Xiaohuan that I would wait for him to come back in the afternoon to have hot pot. By this time, they were probably already preparing.
After entering the village, Lao Fang went back directly when he passed by the door of his house. Li Yi continued to walk forward for a while, and just stepped into the yard, he saw sisters Ruyi and Xiaohuan in the yard.
In addition, there is a strange woman in the yard.
The woman, who was in her thirties or forties, was wearing colorful clothes and looked quite festive. She was saying something with a smile on her face.
Seeing Xiaohuan running towards this side, Li Yi glanced at the woman with some confusion and asked, "Who is she?"
The little maid had a bitter look on her face and whispered: "It's the official media. This time I'm here to urge the second lady to get married as soon as possible. She has been to the house several times this year."
