Chapter 653: After having his mind read, the sickly prince-in-law becomes even more squeamish (…
Standing in a strange courtyard, Lin Ziyan watched the boy carrying luggage one after another.
This is the residence of the previous censor, with all the daily necessities. It is even several times more luxurious than his room in the Princess Mansion.
But no matter how luxurious it was, he always felt like it was deserted here, as if something was missing.
"Inspector Lin, why didn't you come to the county magistrate's house to sit down when you came?"
Just as he was immersed in his own thoughts, a high-pitched and flattering voice broke into his ears without warning.
He turned around and saw a man in official uniform, about forty years old, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, walking towards him.
The smile on his face and the familiar greeting made it seem like the two of them were old friends who had been separated for a long time.
"you are?"
Seeing Lin Ziyan sizing him up, the other party took the initiative to introduce him, "Xiaoguan is Xu Xian, the magistrate of Qinghe County. Inspector Lin can just call him Lao Xu."
Lin Ziyan said distantly, "You and I have the same official rank, so there is no need to be so polite. It's just that we are busy traveling today and it is not convenient to entertain Xu Zhixian."
After hearing the other party's expulsion order, Xu Zhixian's face darkened, but he immediately regained his smile and said, "Since Supervisor Lin is tired, let's rest first and let's make an appointment another day."
When Xu Zhixian left the Supervision Department and returned to the magistrate's office, there was a circle of eagerly awaited officials sitting in the room.
Seeing Xu Zhixian coming back, the group of people immediately gathered around and said, "Old Xu, how's your inquiring going?"
Xu Zhixian sat at the table, took a sip of tea, and said with a dissatisfied look on his face, "I think that boy is not a good person, and he is distant and cold. You should be smarter in everything you do in the future, and don't get caught."
"Don't worry, Lao Xu. We all do things in a measured way. It's just that we have never met this new supervisor. You didn't invite him to the banquet?"
Xuzhi County said even more angrily, "I invited him, but he refused directly. I don't know whether this person is really honest or just pretending, so I didn't dare to ask more questions."
Several people were sitting around the table, with all kinds of thoughts on their minds.
The boss sitting next to Xuzhi County suggested, "No matter if he is true or false, when he comes to our territory, he must abide by our rules."
The county captain had a look of disapproval, "I heard that the inspector who came this time is the goddess's consort. If we go too far, I'm afraid we'll get caught in his hands."
Xuzhi County said coldly, "Our Qinghe County is not a place with mountains and rivers far away. We can clearly hear about the matter between the goddess and the consort."
"In the capital, this consort is not favored by the goddess. Moreover, he is very comfortable as an official in the capital. If he is really efficient in doing things, can he be transferred to us?"
"Look, he must have offended the goddess and was demoted here. Maybe he is just an empty shell with only appearance."
Lord Bo flattered, "What the county magistrate said makes sense. Anyway, he has to come to the mansion tomorrow to inspect the handover. Then we will try again." Supervision Division. Lin Ziyan looked at the volumes left by the previous supervisor, took them off the shelf, and read through them one by one. The deputy director led the department staff to report, "Report to Supervisor Lin, the department staff are all here." Lin Ziyan scanned all the people and made up his mind. There is only one supervisor in the Supervision Department who calls the shots, and the other deputies are there to facilitate the supervisor and have no real power in their hands. Therefore, whether these people change or not has little impact. There are just some words that cannot be omitted. "I followed His Majesty's decree and came to Qinghe County to serve. Today is my first day in office." "I don't have any taboos. As long as you concentrate on your work and don't violate laws and regulations, whatever happens in private has nothing to do with me." "But once you let me know that you have gone beyond my supervision and colluded with outsiders, then don't blame me for being cruel." "Don't worry, Supervisor, we will abide by our duties and be loyal to our duties!" Lin Ziyan nodded and looked at the shelves on both sides of the hall, "Bring out all the records of the previous supervisor when he was in office. I want to know what he has done." "Yes!" Lin Ziyan set off early in the morning, and it was already past noon when he arrived in Qinghe County. At this time, he spent all his sleep and food reviewing the volumes, inevitably feeling a little dizzy. Su Qing was originally arranged to work as an informant in Qinghe County. When Lin Ziyan arrived, he also returned to serve Lin Ziyan. Su Qing held the tea, placed it next to Lin Ziyan's hand, and reminded, "Master, please eat something first." Lin Ziyan responded, but his eyes still stayed on the words. "The previous supervisor handled a total of sixteen cases, and more than half of them were left unsolved and were not reported to the record." "Presumably these cases are collusion cases with the county magistrate. You will secretly investigate the whole story according to the participants." "My subordinate understands." It wasn't until late at night that Lin Ziyan finished reading. He walked to the room tiredly, preparing to take a rest before facing the magistrate's attack tomorrow. Just as he was taking off his clothes, a voice broke into his mind. "Wow, this dancer has a really good figure!" Lin Ziyan's sleepy eyes suddenly widened and he turned to look at the room. The room was dark with only one oil lamp burning, and there was no laughter or laughter. "Did you hear wrongly?" He held his breath and kept silent for a long time. After he could no longer hear the voice, he just thought he was overworked and had heard it wrong. At the same time, the Princess Mansion. "Okay, good dance!" Deke's applause and praise were deafening. To be praised by the goddess, the dancers knelt down and kowtowed. "Chunhe, reward!" The maid serving on the side heard Dai Ke's instructions and took the money bag to distribute the money to the dancing girl. Dai Ke sipped his wine, raised his hand to summon the most beautiful one, took her hand and motioned to the other dancers, "Continue!" Dai Ke touched the little hand of the dancer and said seriously, "You have good palmistry, you will definitely be rich in the future." Hearing this, the dancer was so excited that she knelt down again. Dai Ke waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, you can sit still." Looking at the singing and dancing in front of him, 005 couldn't help it [Host, Lin Ziyan was just transferred to another place, not dead, you can't indulge yourself like this, right? 】 Dai Ke said nonchalantly, "I didn't do anything?" 】 She was just holding hands and earning points, which made her sound like a heartless person. [You have a party at home, what else do you want to do? 】 [Um...] Dai Ke thought for a while [I don't think I can pass the trial. 】 While the singing and dancing were getting exciting, the people who pushed in the door gradually walked into Dai Ke's sight. "Master, why are you here?" Dai Ke really didn't know what Hua Fuzi was up to, and he was too lazy to make excuses with him, so he simply ignored him. Hua Ruoyun squeezed the dancer away, sat next to Dai Ke, and helped her pour wine, "Your Highness is so elegant." "It's just so so. Could it be that Master was also attracted by the excitement?" Hua Ruoyun poured herself a glass of wine and clinked glasses with Dai Ke, "I was afraid that His Highness would be depressed, so I came here to have a look." The cups clinked crisply, Dai Ke drank and smiled, "What should I be upset about?"
