With five days left before New Year's Eve, the wind and snow that had lasted for four days finally subsided. However, the long-lost sun did not emerge from behind the clouds, making the entire Jiangcheng County still cold and freezing, making people not want to step out of the house unless necessary.

Two braziers in the room still made Yue'er feel a little cold. She needed to vent her hands from time to time before she could lift her pen and write again. This also made her mouth pout high all the time, and she could even hang an oil bottle. But the object she blamed was as if she had not noticed it at all, and she still buried her head and wrote something, without even the least comforting.

After a few days, Li Ling's back injury finally improved a little, and now he can sit on a chair and read and write. However, half a month ago, he was delayed. Not only did he delay his study time, but he even had to complete the book "Fengshen" before the New Year.

Today, the novel content has reached the last difficulty facing the seven monsters of Meishan. If you copy the original content, the confrontation with these seven people would be ordinary, which is Yang Jian, who was alone in killing the invincible literary routine of Long Aotian. But Li Ling was not satisfied with this. In addition, he had written several exciting battles before, the Zhuxian Formation, and the Wanxian Formation... all made the just-published volume a popular culture hotly discussed on the streets and alleys. He could not have a big fuss when it was about to end, so he had to think of more novel tricks in this plot.

After writing a paragraph, Li Ling was still not satisfied, so he put down his pen for the time being, thinking of reading the scriptures first to change his mind. As a result, he put down his pen and kept peeking at him Yue'er, who had been watching his eyes, stopped writing and looked at him with a pitiful look: "Brother, I'm so hard to write... Dad used to say that I could just recognize some words without doing it, and I didn't have to go to the imperial examination, and I didn't have to read too many books."

"He is completely wrong. A woman who has no talent is virtue. She is used by some guys to deceive people." Li Ling immediately opposed, "If a person is not even a man or a woman, no matter how good he is, he can only rely on others and find it difficult to truly survive. This is also for your future consideration. It is impossible for me to let my brother accompany you for the rest of my life, right? I will copy this book quickly and I will go out to buy candy for you later."

"Oh, just copy it, I'm going to get pine nut candy." Yue'er was finally a little happy when she heard about the candy, and her wrists seemed to be less sore. But after copying two more lines of words, she became a little impatient again and her body was still twisting on the chair.

When Li Ling saw this, he immediately glared at him: "Write well, if you can't write well, you have to rewritten it. You don't have the candy to eat." To deal with this little foodie, you have to control her seven inches. Sure enough, when you hear this, Yue'er immediately became ruled. She dared not move around anymore, and continued to copy books with a bitter face.

Just then, a sound of slapping the door came from outside, and then he shouted again: "Can Mr. Li Ling be at home?"

"I'll open the door." The little girl immediately put the pen on her pen, and without waiting for Li Ling nodded, she got up and walked out. She didn't care about the cold outside. Seeing this, Li Ling could only smile bitterly. Her sister was all very good, but she just didn't like reading and writing.

Soon, the gate of the courtyard opened. Yue'er took a thick jacket and a fur hat, but Lin Lie, who was still cold and his cheeks and nose were red, walked in. This surprised Li Ling, but he quickly stood up to greet him: "I don't know that Captain Lin has come here and has not come out to greet him, so please don't be surprised." He also gave a gift, but was supported by the latter: "Young Master Li, don't have to be too polite!" He also put down a big pig's leg in his hand. "I killed a pig at home yesterday. I thought it was almost New Year's Eve, so I specially brought one leg to Mr. Li to express my gratitude. I hope you don't dislike me."

Li Ling lowered his eyes and looked at the big ham, then looked up at the other party's sincere expression, but it was hard to refuse, so he smiled and said, "Since Captain Lin has good intentions, I will accept it with shame. Thanks to Captain Lin." As he said that, he bowed his hand and bowed.

Lin Lie quickly waved his hand and said, "Your Madam Li is so serious. You are kind to me. Lao Lin still knows it after all. By the way, please stop calling me Captain Lin or not. Just call me Lao Lin, it sounds more kind."

"This..." After all, he was a worker in the county government office, and he was still a captain with a certain identity. After all, he was also a criminal investigation team leader of the police station, which made Li Ling hesitate.

"Why, you look down on me as a rough man. Don't you want to make friends with me?" Lin Lie immediately pretended to be angry. Seeing this, Li Ling could only smile bitterly, "Brother Lin, I'll call you Brother Lin."

"This is almost the same. Then I will call you Brother Li in the future. Wouldn't you not respond?"

"How dare you?" Li Ling smiled and asked the other party again: "Is it okay for Brother Lin to come here at this time? I heard that the county government has not closed the government office today."

Lin Lie was not polite, and pulled out a chair and sat down first, then sighed and said, "It's really a pity to say this. I had to close the yamen and stop handling official duties after the twelfth lunar month. This year, it's 25th, and the yamen is still busy. But the brothers are still very happy, and finally I've gotten a tragedy."

"My heart disease? Are you referring to Zhuang Dianshi? Has his crime been fulfilled?"

"That's not yet, but it's almost done. Now we shouldn't call him Zhuang Dianshi anymore. We just call him Zhuang Hong, because he has been officially taken away by the county master and has been thrown into prison." Speaking of this, Lin Lie's excitement became increasingly high. "Eighteenth, brother, you have never gone to the county government office again, nor have you ever paid attention to Zhuang Hong anymore, right? You don't know. That day, he confirmed in the hall that he embezzled hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and intended to set fire to the county government office. After burning the evidence, the people of the city quickly spread the matter of the county master's attempt to eliminate harm to the people. As a result, guess what, the next day, more than a dozen people ran to the county government office to report him Zhuang Heng and his brother Zhuang Qiang, as well as many illegal things in the family.

"And this is just the beginning. In the next few days, until noon today, no less than twenty people came to call for justice every day, and asked the county master to make the decision for everyone. The dealer did too many evil things and was retribution. In the past few years, there were as many as seven or eight innocent people killed by them. As for the industrial land they seized, let alone. It is really a great sin, and there is more to die!"

Li Ling was also sighing repeatedly, and then he remembered that Yue'er, who was stunned by the side, brought a teacup to pour him a cup of hot tea to warm his body and throat. After drinking the tea, Lin Lie became more and more excited: "As far as I know, so far yesterday, there were more than 120 lawsuits. As I really told Master Cao, what was the evil he committed, Ching... what was the one who made?"

"It's hard to write about it!" Yue'er hurriedly answered, and a proud smile appeared on her little face. She suddenly felt that what her brother said made sense, and it was still very useful to read more books.

"Yes, it's just that this is so difficult to read, and I'm still awesome. Even the girls in the family know more than me," Lin Lie grinned. "It's because of this that after the trial yesterday, the county magistrate directly ordered people to strip Zhuang Hong of his official uniform and hat and actually threw him into the prison."

In fact, before this, although Zhuang Hong had committed dozens of crimes of all sizes and sizes, he had not been surrendered to the county jail, but was only placed in a post station next to the county jail. This is a special treatment for the imperial court officials. At least before being deprived of his official position, he could not be imprisoned at will - except for the Tianzhuo of the Ministry of Justice in the Capital.

"Do you think it's strange? We originally thought that Zhuang Hong was difficult to be truly convicted, but now it seems that the case can be tried before the New Year." Lin Lie sighed again, both puzzled and happy, "That's the imperial court's official, the fourth master of the county government, who actually said he was taken away as soon as he was seized. The county magistrate is indeed amazing!"

Even Yue'er couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother, is the new magistrate of Wei really so powerful? Anyone who wants to dismiss the office?"

Li Ling had read some of the rules and regulations of this dynasty before, so he was stunned and understood, and then explained with a smile: "Of course it's not that simple, it's just that because the history of Zhuang Hong appointed was different from the general court officials. That's why I called him a paper-made tiger before. It looked majestic and frightening, but in fact it was a bit scary on the surface. As long as the county magistrate really wanted to deal with him, it would be easy to get it."

"What's the difference between being an official?" Lin Lie also asked curiously.

"Although the position of Dianshi is known as an official, it is not included in the ranks. It is very different from the county magistrate, county town and chief clerk, and is considered an excessive area between officials and officials. Therefore, generally speaking, the first three have terms in the local area and have to leave their posts at most nine years. They must be officials from another place, but Dianshi does not need it. Zhuang Hong is from Jiangcheng County, so he has become a huge force through two generations of hard work and more than ten years of hard work, so that the above three officials can only cooperate with him, and even be forced away by him."

Lin Lie listened and contacted the reality, and couldn't help but nod. Li Ling's words continued: "But because of this, the position of Dianshi also had a huge flaw, that is, it was not listed in the list of officials of the Ministry of Personnel. If an official who was enthroned by the Ministry of Personnel, even if he was only the chief clerk of the county magistrate, a small official under the eighth rank, was not the county magistrate or even the first-level official at the prefecture level, he could be dismissed by the county magistrate or even the first-level officials at the prefecture. If he wanted to dismiss them, he had to report them to the court according to the rules and finally the Ministry of Personnel decided. In this way, he would have to wait for several months if he reported the results.

"But if you want to remove Dianshi, you don't have to be so troublesome. Just hold the evidence and the county master can do it with just one word. So don't look at Zhuang Hong's arrogant and domineering past, if you really encounter such a thing, it's only a matter of being removed by the county master."

"So that's it. Today I've gained some knowledge." Lin Lie sighed, and then said with a strange look. "I didn't expect that, Brother Li, you are so familiar with officialdom. It seems that you really have the intention to do this?"
