Yang Shouwen was silent.

He didn't know how to evaluate this matter, and he was not shocked by the fact that he was prepared for such a result.

Lu Yongcheng has been the chief clerk in Changping for twenty years!

In the past twenty years, how many great changes have occurred in the court, and how many people have lost their lives? Although Changping is located in a border desertion, the internal struggles are even more tragic. Unlike the huge changes in the court, although the disputes in the court are also very tragic, everyone will be more or less reserved due to their identity and status, at least they will appear calm on the surface.

However, in places, especially in such county-level places, power struggles have always been like swords and swords, and everyone is fighting with their arms around. In terms of means of struggle, there are no varied ways in the court, but it is more direct and more fierce.

Lu Yongcheng became the chief clerk of Changping at the age of 28. In the past twenty years, the Changping County Magistrate had changed more than a dozen, and seven or eight county towns had changed. However, only Lu Yongcheng still sat firmly in the chief clerk's seat, and no one could shake it.

Even Yang Chenglie took more than ten years to consolidate the power of the county magistrate.

On the surface, he and Lu Yongcheng both had no interference with each other. But in fact, there would be no less fighting between the two.

Such a person who is good at fighting and good at fighting should never fantasize about him as a lamb who is not as good as the world's fireworks. Such a person is absolutely terrible to be cruel. So when Yang Shouwen heard the news of Koubin and Lu Qing's death, he did not show any strangeness, and even felt that such a thing was the natural result.

After gently exhaling a breath of turbid air, Yang Shouwen smiled.

"Dad, isn't this result very normal? That day, Gai Jiayun spit out these two names for me, and I knew..."

"Fuck old thief."

Yang Chenglie suddenly cursed: "Yizi, why can't you satisfy me?"

The implication is to say: Why are you so arrogant? Why don’t you show a shock to satisfy my vanity?

When Yang Shouwen heard this, he immediately opened his mouth, his eyes widened, and looked shocked.

"Cobin and Lu Qing died?"

"Get out!"

Yang Chenglie smiled and cursed, picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip.

Yang Rui couldn't help laughing, and he whispered: "I was betting with my dad on the way, saying that my eldest brother would be very surprised. My dad said you would never be surprised... It turned out that my dad knew my eldest brother."

Today, when Yang Rui came to the mountain, his mood looked abnormal.

As soon as this sentence was spoken, Yang Shouwen immediately felt a strong sense of loss.

Yang Chenglie glanced at Yang Rui and ignored him.

He filled another bowl of wine and said softly: "I have been a Taiping County Magistrate for ten years. I thought it was like this without any wind and waves. I didn't expect... The situation this year is more sinister and more unpredictable than when Li Jinzhong's army entered Youzhou two years ago. Especially these murders are even more weird everywhere, and I always feel uneasy in my heart."

"What do you say about the county magistrate?"

From Yang Chenglie's words, Yang Shouwen heard anxiety.

Yang Chenglie said: "The county lord means that it's all... The deaths of Koubin and Lu Qing are obviously an accident."

"How could it be an accident?"

Yang Rui finally couldn't help it and said excitedly: "Kobin was obviously murdered, and Lu Qing... said that he was drowned after drinking, how could he be? I've asked, Lu Qing is not weak and has a lot of alcohol, so how could he be drowned?"

"Not drowning, who is the murderer?"

"It's clearly Lu Yongcheng..."

"Evidence!" Yang Chenglie tapped the table with his finger and said in a deep voice: "According to the law of Zaichu, you are slandering Shangguan. According to the law, you should serve as a military force."

"I……"

Yang Shouwen pressed Yang Rui and gently patted his shoulder, indicating that he was calm.

Zaichu Law, which is the version of the "Zhenguan Law" implemented and promulgated in the eleventh year of Zhenguan. In later generations, this "Tang Law Commentary" compiled by Changsun Wuji has undergone three additions and modifications since Zhenguan, which is the current Zaichu Law.

Yang Chenglie seemed to be unhappy, and stared at Yang Rui and said, "Lu Yongcheng is from the ninth rank chief clerk. You, I am half a level lower than him. He said that Lu Qing was drowned, so how could I cause trouble for him without evidence? He is my Shangguan. If I want to investigate this case, I can't escape his eyes and it is even more impossible to find any results.

If the county is willing to investigate this case, I can also have a reason.

But now, the county magistrate is unwilling to interfere in this matter. If you want to calm down, how can you do it if you want me, the county magistrate?"

When Yang Chenglie said this, he smiled at himself.

"County lieutenant, county lieutenant... I've been the Taiping County lieutenant for ten years. Do you really think you, I, can cover the sky with one hand?"

Yang Rui lowered his head and did not speak anymore.

But Yang Shouwen could see from his eyes that there was a strong sense of reluctance.

Yang Shouwen is very familiar with this unwillingness.

In his previous life, he first entered the workplace and encountered such a situation and was unwilling to accept it. Later, he continued to investigate it alone, but in the end he was paralyzed in bed for nearly ten years. Although the case was finally solved and the criminal was finally killed. But who remembers that there was a young man who was desperate ten years ago, who gave his best years for it?

On the sickbed, Yang Shouwen read a lot of books and thought about it for many years.

He finally figured out one sentence: People are doing it, God is watching, it is not that they are not rewarded, the time has not come!

Just to understand the true meaning of this sentence, he...

Feeling the atmosphere a little solemn, Yang Shouwen smiled and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about this matter anymore."

"Well, I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore!"

The anger on Yang Chenglie's face disappeared and he changed into a smile.

Yang Shouwen accompanied him to eat wine for a while. Seeing Yang Chenglie showing fatigue, he said goodbye and walked out of the Zen room.

Yang Rui followed him, silent.

The two of them came outside the door of the Main Hall and saw the moonlight shining on the square, revealing a bit of coldness.

It rained during the day, and the air on the mountain was particularly fresh.

However, after that light rain, the temperature dropped a lot, so that a gust of wind blew and Yang Rui shivered.

Outside the Zen room, Bodhi took Wukong and four of them to lie on the porch.

In the kitchen, Yang was still cleaning up, busy, coming and going.

Qingnu was not in good spirits, so he went to rest early tonight with Song.

The young lady was left sitting next to the well, scrubbing her clothes hard. When she saw Yang Shouwen and Yang Rui, she did not say hello.

When Yang Chenglie is away, the young lady will be very casual.

But Yang Chenglie is there, she will pay attention to her position.

The little girl is not very old, but she has a wink and knows when to be lively and when to remain silent.

"Erlang, why don't you speak?"

Yang Rui raised his head, as if he had enough courage and said, "Brother, why don't I resign from my father? You should do it as a serene man."

"Me?" Yang Shouwen's head was shaking like a rattle.

"I don't want to go to the yamen to suffer... Look at me, how happy I am now! I am worry-free, why bother to go to the yamen to practice?"

"But..." Yang Rui seemed very distressed and scratched his head, making his hair even more messy. He whispered: "But I really think I'm so stupid! I was fooled by Gai Jiayun, but I thought he was very afraid of me. Today I went to the scene and saw Lu Qing's body. Even a fool like me could see that Lu Qing had never drowned, but his father was able to drown and chatted with Lu Yongcheng, as if he hadn't seen anything.

Brother, I'm really confused!

I used to think I was very smart, and even before my elder brother woke up, I still thought so.

But……"

As Yang Rui said, he squatted on the ground, holding his head with both hands.

Yang Shouwen could understand his mood at this moment, which was a kind of self-righteous pain of "everyone is drunk and I am awake alone".

To a certain extent, Yang Rui is still a righteous boy.

But he didn't quite understand the meaning of patience.

He patted Yang Rui on the shoulder and Yang Shouwen sat down beside him.

"Erlang, how beautiful the moonlight is? I like it very much, but I can't catch it; you close your eyes and feel how soft the wind is, but I can't see it; you smell the fragrance of flowers, but I can't save it."

"Brother, what are you talking about?"

Yang Rui was confused by Yang Shouwen's words, and turned his head and looked at him in shock.
