The official department will transfer people from the imperial capital to take up posts in the county.

Or in other counties in the city, who should be promoted to go there?

If not.

Perhaps any of the six Cao Lings and civil servants in the local county can reach several levels.

It’s just that Magistrate Xu is a special magistrate.

When he was sixty, he did not choose to retire.

Seeing Magistrate Xu's insistence, the imperial court and the prefects of various cities did not force Magistrate Xu to step down. Instead, they sent inspection envoys to quietly observe Magistrate Xu's work to see if he could serve again.

After all, it’s better not to change if you can.

Otherwise, the new county magistrate will have to be familiar with various affairs. Compared with the original old county magistrate, it will be easier for some problems that could have been completely avoided.

And during this inspection.

Magistrate Xu, who was honest and honest, escaped the shuffle of dynasty changes, survived to the next dynasty, and endured two batches of inspection envoys.

The inspectors of the previous dynasty were put in jail, or were dismissed and returned to their fields.

He also brought the current patrol officers from prime age to retirement.

Similarly, Ning He, who was listening to the chatter of the people next to him, also knew about this matter.

It’s all because there is a paragraph in this travelogue that talks about this.

The main idea of ​​the full text is,

A case of cattle rustling occurred in He'an County. Mr. Xu, who was 82 years old at the time, personally led the police out of the county and rode horses to trace the whereabouts of the thief according to the marks of the cattle's hooves and wheels.

Also going were the current young inspectors and the old inspectors from the previous dynasty.

They were still betting on each other on the road.

The sixty-five-year-old inspection envoy said that Magistrate Xu would definitely be able to catch him, and he was not just showing off, he was really riding a horse with his advanced age and tracking it down himself.

The young inspector didn't believe it, but he thought that the old inspector was from the previous dynasty, so he didn't ask any more questions.

But the final result was that Mr. Xu rode his horse for two days and one night without rest, chasing the merchant and exhausting all the arresters.

Young inspectors also collapsed from exhaustion.

The old patrolman had expected to leave the team early and did not follow.

Because he once had a bet against Magistrate Xu with an old inspector.

The result was also a loss.

He continued to lose until the dynasty changed and he resigned, but Magistrate Xu was still Magistrate Xu.

It seems that after so many years, Magistrate Xu’s beard and hair have only turned gray, but his physique is still the same as that of a young man.

This travelogue about Magistrate Xu generally describes the affairs of Magistrate Xu and the inspection envoy.

From the perspective of multiple inspectors.

Ning He read it and felt that the length of this article about Magistrate Xu was probably the experience of those inspection envoys.

It was written by the writer of the travel notes and narrated by these inspectors.

It seems that the writer is also a wonderful person. In order to write this travel note, he took great care and found inspection envoys from two dynasties.

Let’s recall the author’s name after this piece.

It was the old inspector.

After his death, he had no official position and had nothing to do, so he began to write about Xu County Magistrate. He started writing when Xu County Magistrate was sixty years old.

It is a pity that I stopped writing this article when Magistrate Xu was eighty-five years old.

Magistrate Xu is now eighty-nine years old.

The old inspector must have passed away four years ago.

But after half a year, Magistrate Xu was appointed as a priest.

If it were the official position of the Yin Division, the two of them could meet again.

If County Magistrate Xu protects him a little longer, he can live longer, no matter what the circumstances, it is completely possible.

And when Ning He recalled his travel notes.

As time passes.

On this night.

In the backyard of the county government.

Magistrate Xu was enjoying tea in a small pavilion in the courtyard.

A shadow fell from the distant sky and stood outside the pavilion, gradually condensing into the appearance of a middle-aged man.

He was wearing civilian clothes and had a decree on his waist.

Magistrate Xu did not panic after seeing this strange scene. Instead, he stood up and greeted: "Brother Li!"

"Brother Xu!" Judge Yin Siwen strode into the pavilion and looked at Magistrate Xu up and down. "I haven't seen you for half a month. You are fine."

"Alas, you and I have known each other for fifty-two years, and I have heard this statement more than two thousand times." Magistrate Xu sighed: "How can I be considered safe from my youth to my old age?"
p>

"Haha!" The literary judge laughed, "Brother Xu still has a thousand years of life, but only fifty years, which can be regarded as a weak year. He is basically unencumbered and fine."

"Those are all things after death." County Magistrate Xu shook his head, asked the judge to sit down, and asked about business: "Brother Li came here from the Yinsi this time, why?

If nothing happens, I have something to ask."

"Oh? I also have one thing. It is your business, but it is not your business." Judge Wen sat on the chair and said, "It is reported that there is an innocent soul in He'an County.

When this matter was reported to the Yin Division, this Yin Division should have gone there.

But I thought that Brother Xu was working in He'an County, so I negotiated with the Yinshi to let him stay in the Yinsi, and I took advantage of my errand to go visit Brother Xu.

After all, it’s okay if I don’t help you on weekdays.

You also know that the underworld has no control over the affairs of the earth.

But now that Brother Xu is about to be entrusted, there can be no mistakes."

When he said this, he said in a solemn tone: "Brother Xu, are there any unjust cases or strange things recently?"

"This..." When Magistrate Xu asked the judge about this, he suddenly thought of the gentleman he met today, so he asked: "Brother Li, are you talking about the drowning of a member of the Feng family?"

As he spoke, when he saw Judge Wen nodding, he couldn't help but frown and said, "Is there something really fishy about this matter?

Is there anything suspicious about his friends traveling with him?"

"Do you think this person is innocent?" Judge Wen heard the uncertainty in Magistrate Xu's tone and couldn't help but ask: "Actually, I came two days ago, but I didn't tell you at the time.

Instead, he first brought the ghost of the Feng family man back to the Underworld to find out some things.

So I can tell you that the Feng family man did not slip and fall into the river.

That person is not an innocent person either.

Don’t make a misjudgment.”

"The verdict has not yet been reached." Magistrate Xu shook his head, "Although these two people have no enmity, they have been friends for many years.

But when the case happened three days ago, when I interrogated him, I saw that he looked a little evasive, so I felt that there was something fishy about the matter.

But I'm afraid that his look is because he feels guilty for not saving his friend.

I was afraid that there was injustice in this matter, and I was also afraid that this person would be beaten into a trap, so I did not interrogate him immediately, but left him in the yamen and let the clerk take care of him for a few days.

During this period, I will not let anyone talk to him about the case, nor will I tell him the purpose of keeping him.

Under the worry of not knowing everything, if this person is the murderer, when I ask him again in two days, I will be able to get some clues through his words and expressions.

If nothing happens, the pain of interrogation will be saved."

"It's good that you have some knowledge of this matter." Judge Wen nodded after hearing Magistrate Xu's case handling methods and did not make any comments.

Because the underworld trial only involves severe punishment, but there is no so-called psychological warfare, and no evidence is needed.

After all, with the law in hand, they can tell at a glance whether this person has a blood evil spirit.

As long as you are guilty, go through the frying pan three times and basically everything will be said.

But when Magistrate Xu saw that the judge confirmed his guess, he sighed, "Brother Li was wrong. A moment ago, I was not sure that this person was the murderer.

But now Brother Li specifically talked about this matter, and now I can confirm that this person must be the murderer."

"I didn't say that this person was a murderer." The judge waved his hand and said, "The City God has an order that the underworld is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the underworld unless necessary."

"Brother Li didn't say that this person was the murderer." Magistrate Xu said with a smile, "You just came to me for a chat today."

"Well, if the city god investigates deeply, this argument will not work." The literary judge seemed a little worried, but in fact he was not worried at all.
