Chapter 37: Benevolence
Li Yi was stunned when he listened to my mother's questioning Gan Ci like a series of cannons outside.
He always thought that when he saw a beautiful girl, he thought of her child's name, only some old-sex critics.
But this time, Li's mother pulled his butt with a knife - she opened her eyes.
Li Yi walked into the room with a big stride and looked at his mother angrily: "Mom! A Ci is just my friend, what are you asking for?"
"Friend?" Li's mother glanced at Li Yi with a look of a fool. Which girl from a family would casually enter her friend's door?
Li's mother looked at Gan Ci again, and saw that her moist eyes lit up instantly when she glanced at Li Yi, and the corners of her mouth curled up, and her tense body relaxed, clearly looking like she had found the backbone.
You told me this is a friend?
Li's mother was unwilling to tear down Li Yi's platform in front of Gan Ci, so she held Gan Ci's hand and said, "Good daughter, how long do you plan to live here this time?"
Gan Ci didn't dare to answer and looked at Li Yi.
Li Yi said: "You can live as long as you want."
Gan Ci lowered her head, not knowing what to say.
Seeing that Gan Ci was still reserved and shy, Li's mother liked her even more. This kind of child with a good temper and honest temperament is the best choice for her daughter-in-law. Not only is she not popular, but she is also bullied!
Li's mother hurriedly said, "Good daughter, you can live there with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about anything. As long as there is an old lady, I will always leave you a house in this house!"
Gan Ci obediently "um" a few times, and then answered a few more times under Li's mother's kind inquiry, and then he never dared to look up again like a turtle shrank.
Seeing that Gan Ci was still afraid of the community, Li Yi casually complained that his mother was too enthusiastic, and then said to Gan Ci: "Aci, my mother has suffered from a cold these days and occasionally coughs. Can you help her take a look?"
Gan Ci came up with courage when she heard this. Although she was not good at socializing, she was no longer afraid of her professional matters such as medical skills and autopsy.
He pinched Li's mother's pulse, looked at her tongue coating, and said softly: "The old lady has no problem, it's just that the weather is too cold and the body is not very adaptable. I will massage her a few times and take a few more days to rest, and it will be cured soon."
Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and as a result, he felt relieved.
Seeing that Gan Ci really knew medical skills, Li's mother liked it even more. She pulled Gan Ci to arrange the house for her and cleaned the house up and down.
This warm hospitality made Gan Ci flattered. He kept trying to go up to help but was stopped by Li's mother.
Seeing that they got along well, Li Yi said, "Mom, A Ci, I'll go to the yamen to talk about something. You can eat yours at noon, so don't worry about me."
Gan Ci came forward and said, "I, I'll go too."
She was already a coroner who was recognized by Zhao County Magistrate, so it was legitimate to go to the yamen.
Li Yi shook his head: "You are a coroner. It doesn't matter whether you go to the yamen when you don't need a autopsy. I'm going to explain the case this time, so don't follow me. I've been struggling for so long last night, so it's time for you to rest."
"Oh." Gan Ci lowered her head, "Then I, I'll wait for you to come back."
Li Yi touched her head, twisted her hair, and then turned around and left.
Gan Ci's hands were linked together and he looked at Li Yi's back from a distance, his eyes stretched out very long.
Li's mother, who had been eavesdropping behind her, was shocked: I had been struggling for so long last night? It's time to rest!
What, what? I heard it right!
Could it be that Yi'er has come back so late these days? It's because they...
Li's mother looked at Gan Ci's flat belly meaningfully and smiled maliciously...
...
When he returned to the county government office, Li Yi met Zhao County Wei directly.
In front of the county lieutenant, Li Yi sorted out the matter from beginning to end and showed him the evidence such as the jade bracelet in this case one by one. Zhao County Wei was deeply shocked.
"Bai Zhou? What kind of organization is that?" Compared to the murderer Widow Zhang, the unheard organization - Bai Zhou, he was more concerned about it.
Li Yi said: "It is not difficult to guess that this is an organization with deep burial and huge plans. According to Zhang Yue, this organization is likely to have an almost complete system."
Zhao County Wei slapped the table and said, "I must report to the above immediately. The importance of this matter may be far beyond our imagination."
Li Yi nodded: "It should be."
Zhao County Wei looked at Li Yi with appreciation again: "I didn't expect that Brother Li actually solved the case within three days, and found out that he had made the fine work of Gu He organization Bai Yu, which was amazing!
Do you really don’t consider being a captain under my official? If I can be promoted and can still take you along the path of grace, I won’t be wronged that you are just a captain.”
Zhao County Wei had already heard about Li Yi's thoughts through Chu Ping and knew that Li Yi did not want to block the imperial examination route for his descendants. So he thought of another way - Enyin.
The so-called "honor" is a way for an official to recommend his staff as an official. When an official is promoted to the fifth rank, he has the right tohonor.
One person has achieved enlightenment and the other person has become an official and celebrated each other. In fact, it is related to this kindness. The criticism of redundant officials in the Song Dynasty has always been related to this kindness and integrity.
However, the number of people who are enshrined in the number of people who are enshrined in the fifth rank can only be enshrined in the title of one person. Therefore, the kindness given by Zhao County Magistrate cannot be said to be innocuous.
But Li Yi just smiled and refused: "No, I am not here. If the county magistrate can use it, I will naturally do my best to help me. I will remember this kindness in my heart."
Just kidding, you are just a small county lieutenant now. When you become a fifth-rank official, the daylily will be cold, and my son can even get the top scorer!
"But you have made such a great contribution, and I cannot help but reward me. Let me tell you, what do you have to ask?" Zhao County Wei really didn't expect that Li Yi would reject him. Those who have worked hard for decades in the career of officialdom can't guess that Li Yi's rejection actually thought he was too slow to be promoted...
When Li Yi heard this, he said sincerely: "I have an unreasonable request, and I hope the county magistrate can allow it."
“But it’s okay.”
Li Yi took a deep breath: "The murderer Zhang Yue is dead. Chu Ping wants to bury him in the ancestral grave, but I hope the Lord will allow him."
Li Yi did not hide the affair between Chu Ping and Widow Zhang's wife, but only concealed the fact that Chu Ping destroyed the account books.
"Ah..." Burial in Chu Ping's ancestral tomb?
Zhao County Wei was a little embarrassed because this was indeed a problem. According to regulations, the arrest of prisoners requires people to meet people alive and bodies to be seen dead.
But... things have developed to this point, and it is indeed not a big problem for Widow Zhang. It is better to just give Li Yi a favor. Chu Ping will be grateful to himself for this and will serve him...
"Okay, I promise you!"
Li Yi said again: "There is also the coroner Gan Ci. She is a woman, and it is very troublesome to enter and exit the yamen. If it were not for the autopsy, wouldn't it be necessary to come to the yamen to click Mao?"
After hearing this, the county magistrate was happy that he didn't want women to go in and out of the yamen. He agreed without thinking about Li Yi's proposal.
