Chapter 549 Official Senior Level Four
The water volume of the Yangtze River is not as abundant as in the past, without the thrilling roar and turbulent waves of the past, it seems to have changed from a girl full of prehistoric power to a gentle and gentle young woman, flowing gracefully and quietly.
Zhu Ping'an followed the crowd and walked along the proposed bamboo raft to the river from the passenger boat under the watchful eyes of the officials.
There are a lot of people by the river, men, women, old and young. You push and shove each other and crowd the river, with your neck stretched out, pointing and discussing. Those who don’t know think that there is a baby born in the Yangtze River. If there were no guards on the scene to maintain order, I am afraid that many spectators would have been squeezed into the Yangtze River.
In the river, there are still many athletes who are good at swimming, carrying fishing nets to and fro in the river under the command of several officials.
"Sister-in-law, where is my husband-in-law, where are you..."
By the Yangtze River, there was a young woman wearing a light pink brocade dress with a white jade hairpin of plum blossoms. She was lying on the bank of the Yangtze River crying pear blossoms with rain and her face was haggard. Behind her was a maid who knelt with her and looked like Equally sad.
The young woman has several elder sisters-in-law comforting and consoling, lest the young woman be overwhelmed and throw herself into the Yangtze River.
Standing by the Yangtze River is a county magistrate, about 30 years old and close to 40 years old, orderly directing the officials to go on business.
The magistrate had a thin face, and he was wearing a blue official uniform. There was a picture of 鸂鸂 on the puzi, but there were two patches on the official uniform. At first glance, the patches were made by women. Some are faded, but the whole person is clean and spotless.
At this moment, Zhixian was looking at the river with a slight frown, rubbing his chin thoughtfully with one hand, standing straight like a green pine.
"What are you doing, let us disembark after you say disembarkation, we still have urgent matters."
"That is, these officials don't care about the lives of ordinary people at all!"
On the way to the river after getting off the boat, many people in the crowd cursed and complained heavily.
"Shhh, keep your voice down, don't kill me, let people hear you and you'll have to eat." Someone in the crowd glanced worriedly at the county lord by the river and the official servant with a knife, gun and stick, and hurriedly reminded everyone.
Everyone was in awe of the magistrates and officials. Under the reminder of the neighbors, they glanced at the county magistrates and officials by the river with resentment, closed their mouths, and only expressed their dissatisfaction with their eyes.
"When can I leave? I'm still in a hurry to go to Yingtianfu to see a doctor for my father. I can delay, but my father can't." A young man in the crowd who was supporting the old man burst into tears.
"Hey, let the old man persevere."
"Wait a minute, if you mess with an official, you'll lose your life, so there's no need to talk about seeing a doctor." Everyone comforted with sympathy.
"I still have to go to take the Tianfu exam. If I don't leave, my ten-year study period will be in vain." There was a man dressed as a scholar, carrying a bag, looking forward on tiptoe, and his expression was even more anxious.
"I received news that my daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and I have to hurry back." A man who was going to be a father was so anxious that he jumped into the water and swam home.
For a while, the crowd was furious.
Walking among the crowd, Zhu Ping'an could clearly feel everyone's anxiety. Although the sound became quieter as he walked into the river, the emotional anxiety became more and more intense.
Let’s see what happened, try to set sail earlier, and at least treat them differently. After all, some people on board are really in a hurry.
Therefore, Zhu Ping'an walked two steps faster, and gradually came to the front of the crowd.
"Everyone stand by the side, and we will let you sail after we finish the case. Mr. Zhang from Chun'an County went to Yingtian to buy goods this morning, and he may have been killed here. Now there are passing ships and people nearby. Suspected, please cooperate with our investigation, and everyone will be allowed to pass after the investigation."
An official sent a careful look at the people who disembarked, and at the same time told everyone the whole story in a loud voice.
"If there is a homicide, it must be before dawn. At that time, our passenger ship is still far away from here. Why are we also suspected?"
"That's right, we were still floating on the river at that time, and we were hundreds of thousands of miles away from here, so how could it be us."
"You can't wrong us good people."
After hearing what the officer said, the people who disembarked became even more emotional. How could they become a murder suspect after sitting on a boat? People couldn't figure it out, especially after knowing the approximate time when the crime happened. I am more wronged than Dou E.
"Silence!"
The official slapped the guy who was eating in his hand on the strings of the boat, made a crisp metallic sound, and shouted loudly.
Hearing the yelling of the official, and looking at his uniform and the guy in his hand, although people were unwilling, they could only keep their mouths shut. How dare ordinary people confront the official.
"After committing the crime, the murderer may have hidden in the water and secretly boarded the ship when your ship came, mixing among you; it is also possible that any accomplice of the murderer among you will be suspected as long as they pass through here."
"We are salvaging the corpses in the river, and the fishing nets are intercepted downstream to prevent them from being washed downstream. All passing ships are not allowed to move forward until they are salvaged."
The official officer gave a further explanation, and then left it alone. He ordered the officer to keep an eye on the people who disembarked, and strode to another ship.
In addition to Zhu Ping'an and the others who were barred, two other ships were also barred. They are also angry and dissatisfied with the government's actions.
"Get out of the way, I am the fifth-rank co-prefect of Hangzhou Mansion, and I ask you adults to come and see me. If you delay my errand, who can bear the blame."
Suddenly, an angry voice came from not far away, aggressively, and the accompanying subordinates pushed the officer without hesitation, and the man ordered the officer to call the county magistrate by the river to come back to answer, and it seemed that he was also against forcibly stopping the boat. Very dissatisfied with the docking.
"May I ask if you have a certificate? We can also report to the county master." The official asked cautiously.
"Keep your eyes open!" Master Tongzhi took out an official certificate from his arms, and showed it with a snort.
"Damn the little one, I offended the adults, please forgive me." After the official saw it, he immediately knelt down.
"Go and call your county magistrate." The Tongzhi of Hangzhou government flicked his sleeves and said, "Quickly pass the river so that I can move forward."
Soon, the county magistrate who was standing by the river just now came over with several small officials, and the accompanying small officials knelt on the ground to salute the Tongzhi of Hangzhou Mansion, but the county magistrate saluted slightly and said: The officer has seen the adults.
The little officials on both sides knelt down, and stood where the magistrate was, like a "mountain"-shaped pen holder.
"Why did you stand upside down like a pine tree when you saw this official?" The Tongzhi of Hangzhou Fu satirized the county magistrate for not saluting to him.
"If you are in the county government office, the subordinate officials should be in charge of the official ceremony, but this is not the county government office, and there is a homicide case here, and the subordinate officials have the responsibility to perform the ceremony." Overwhelmed by the official prestige of the fourth-level Master Tongzhi, it was as calm as water without a single ripple.
