Chapter 52: Infiltrating the Back Office
"stop."
"Who are you?"
At the back door of Yuxian County, a yamen runner stopped the young man wearing a short shirt carrying two baskets of vegetables on a shoulder pole and wanted to enter through the back door.
"Sir, the younger ones are here to deliver food."
"Old Wang has something to do today, so I let the young man come here temporarily."
The servant in a short shirt looked up and looked Su An, but his face was filled with fear: "Can you point me the way?"
"Otherwise, if you go to the wrong place, my life will be gone."
The yamen runner who had stopped Su An and wanted to question him a few more questions could not help but laugh when he saw his appearance: "We are the yamen."
"It's not a shameful place like a private gang."
"Even if you go wrong, you won't kill you. At most, you'll be scolded."
"After entering, I passed two garden gates and went to the kitchen."
The yamen runner who stopped Su An did not remind him not to walk around, nor did he mean to lead the way for him. He didn't even dare to enter the yamen, and even a little scared young man. What danger would there be?
What's more, the county magistrate is in charge and other immortal officials are on duty, so they are not afraid of anyone coming to cause trouble.
"good."
Su An nodded, his face still showing fear. He was even more cautious when he entered, and he didn't even dare to walk too fast, which made the yamen runner who looked at him a few times, shook his head and smiled.
When he first came to work as a yamen, he was just as careful as this young man, for fear that he shouldn't have read what he shouldn't have read, and that he shouldn't have listened to what he shouldn't have listened to, and then he lost his life.
After a long time, he realized that everything was because he thought too much. The yamen was not as good as he thought. Even the noble immortal officials were not as unkind as he had thought.
Even if you really encounter any trouble, the immortal officials will help them ordinary yamen runners.
Moreover, since there are county masters in the yamen and immortal officials on duty, these yamen runners are actually very idle.
What ordinary yamen runners do are trivial things. As for patrols in the county yamen, they are not needed, they are just doing things.
If even the immortal officials and the county masters could not find it, they were even more powerless.
After entering the yamen with a load, Su An's heart was overwhelmed. He never expected that he would enter the county government so smoothly from the back door.
His current identity must be fake. The old man who often came to the yamen to deliver things was knocked out by him.
Of course, if he really discovered something, he would communicate with the old man and let him hide the matter.
Even, in Su An's opinion, the old man who had been coming to the yamen to deliver food would agree. The reason was very simple, and no one wanted something to happen.
If he really came to the yamen to report the case, he would probably be greatly affected by himself.
On the contrary, if he pretended not to know about this, it would easily pass, and no one would even remember it after a while. After all, it was just a trivial matter.
In the county yamen, Su An walked very slowly and did not dare to look around. However, when passing by some corridors, he would always stay for a while. When a yamen runner or maid passed by, he would pull them to ask where to send them.
Su An was so cautious, afraid of taking the wrong path, so he would not have any doubts about him. The reason was very simple. If he really came to the yamen on purpose, how could he not find out the good route in advance?
Even if you don’t know the route, you will take advantage of the time when there is no one, or deliberately take the wrong path, instead of being like Su An, who is afraid of taking the wrong path and dare not walk around.
In fact, Su An had his own plans. The layout of the government offices in various places was actually similar, and the area of the rear yamen and the front yamen was almost the same.
Even some of them, such as study rooms, are in the Houya, but they must be separated by the kitchens.
But, in the end, they all belong to Houya, and even if you take the wrong path, you can go from going to the kitchen to the study.
At least, this is the layout of Gui'an County Houya.
Although Su An was cautious and afraid of taking the wrong path, this was just something he did on purpose. If he really took the wrong path, no one would think too much.
Moreover, he also found out some rules of ancient books in his mind, that is, as long as he stays in some crime scenes or places related to clues for a longer time, the ancient books in his mind will have clues.
If there is something wrong with Yu County Yamen, then if he stays in Houya for a while, the earlier he will appear in ancient books. The longer he stays, the more places he goes to, the more clues he will be, the more perfect the clues he will be.
This is Su An’s ultimate goal. As for asking him to come to the yamen to find clues himself, he thought he was not capable of this.
Therefore, he could only take advantage of this method and use the rules of clues in his mind to investigate the case.
"You've gone wrong, you've gone wrong, and keep moving forward."
A maid smiled and showed him the way while walking sideways.
"Or you should take me to the kitchen."
After taking a few more steps, Su An turned around and took a few steps, catching up with the maid. The reason for this is that the maid went to was the location of the Yamen Study, unless the layout of the Houya in Yu County is different from that of Gui'an County.
But in Su An's opinion, the possibility of different layouts is very small. Perhaps the layout of all county governments in the entire Xian Dynasty cannot be the same, but the layout of the county governments under the jurisdiction should be similar.
"oops."
"Why did you follow me?"
"This is to go to the County Zun Study Room, you can't run over."
"Why are you so stupid? Haven't you told you how you left?"
The maid stared at Su An with her eyes, and her face felt a little impatient.
"Sister, please lead me a way. Will this happen? I'm waiting for you to send the tea to the county master. If you take me to the kitchen, I'm really afraid of making a mistake."
Su An spoke with a smile on his face, shouting sisters one by one.
"Pooh."
The maid's face turned slightly red: "Who is your sister?"
After pausing, the maid nodded and said, "You just wait here. I will take you there later, but you must not walk forward. After passing the garden gate, it will be the study of the county master."
"Okay."
Su An nodded repeatedly, looking honest: "I just stood here and didn't move, don't go anywhere. Sister, don't worry."
"Good mouth and smooth tongue."
