Magistrate Liu also felt that the advisor's words were reasonable.
He thought for a moment and nodded. "That's a good idea! Alright, go see her and have a good talk. "
"Yes." The advisor was about to leave when Magistrate Liu pulled the corner of his clothes and warned, "We can't make things difficult for a little girl, and we can't put on the airs of an official. We have to speak calmly. If she really doesn't want to, it's fine, but don't force her.
After all, this is the yamen, not a market. "
This old man was old, so he naturally spoke slowly.
Magistrate Liu listened carefully.
He nodded repeatedly.
"Milord, rest assured. I will handle this matter properly."
"En, go."
"Yes."
The advisor tidied up and went to the yamen to find out where she was staying from the officials who had brought her to the yamen.
Only then did he hurriedly leave.
Magistrate Liu was sitting on a pear blossom chair in the court. He was probably too tired from trying cases, as he kept yawning.
The yamen's servant brought him a pot of tea.
The old man drank a few mouthfuls before falling asleep.
The servant called out softly, "Milord? Milord? "
After a while, Magistrate Liu slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Another murder case?"
"No, how could there be so many murders in one day! This servant sees that Milord is too tired. Would you like to go back to the backyard and rest? "
"En, that's fine!"
At this time, it was noon.
He was also sleepy.
Magistrate Liu had been trying cases for the whole morning, so he was already tired.
He let the servant help him to the backyard.
'Take a nap!'
Not long after Ji Yunshu left the yamen, she bumped into Coroner Zhou from before.
"Old sir?"
Coroner Zhou's expression was amiable as he greeted her.
Seeing this, Ji Yunshu hurriedly returned the greeting. "Old sir, what are you doing?"
Being so polite for no reason made her feel flustered.
Moreover, she didn't have any dealings with Coroner Zhou.
Coroner Zhou carefully looked at her and asked, "Miss, I wanted to ask you something when I was in the yamen, but it wasn't convenient."
"Oh? What do you want to ask me? " "I won't hide it from you. Actually, four or five years ago, I made a trip to Great Lin's capital. I heard that there was a capable person in the capital who could examine corpses, solve cases, and draw portraits from bones. Everyone called him Teacher Ji. Moreover, that person became a prison supervisor at the Ministry of Justice at such a young age. I've heard of all the cases he solved. It was truly admirable! Unfortunately, he didn't get to see it with his own eyes. Later on, he heard that she was actually a woman, and for some unknown reason, she suddenly resigned from her position and left the capital.
No one knows where she went? "
Ji Yunshu understood.
She said, "If you have something to say, you might as well say it."
"Just now at the yamen, I saw how smart you are. You were able to clear your name in such a short time and even found the murderer! Moreover, the young lady also happens to believe in the Book of Ji, and her age is also in her twenties. This is really … "It was too much of a coincidence. "Old Mister, I was just lucky. I happened to know about the wood turtle's toxicity and weakness. That's why I was able to show off my skills in front of you.
Besides, I've never been to the Great Lin. "
"Really?"
"I don't need to lie!"
Coroner Zhou was dubious.
He heaved a sigh.
"It's a pity that Teacher Ji is a capable person. The cases he handled were all major ones. If it was someone else, I reckon that it would be difficult!" "In fact, there is no such thing as a capable person in this world. Even the most capable person will fall into a predicament. Old Mister, you've been a coroner for most of your life. I can see that the county magistrate trusts you very much. It's clear that you have some prestige in Jiahe Town.
As the saying goes, dragons have seas, and fish have ponds. No matter how brilliant and capable that Teacher Ji is, he can't be compared to you. "
"Miss, you really know how to talk."
"As a coroner, I walk among the dead, speak for the deceased, and seek justice for their grievances. This is a job that not everyone can do. I ask Old Mister to accept this junior's bow."
Ji Yunshu bowed in front of him.
For a long time, being a coroner was a very lowly job in ancient times. Those who could engage in this profession had to be able to endure loneliness and fear.
Coroner Zhou's eyes reddened. This was the first time someone said such words to him.
He was very touched.
He didn't know what to say.
Ji Yunshu also had important matters to attend to, so she took her leave.
Coroner Zhou looked at her back, but he already knew.
That woman was the famous Teacher Ji in the Great Lin, Ji Yunshu.
…
After Ji Yunshu returned to the inn, she immediately packed her luggage and prepared to leave.
Unfortunately, the advisor came looking for her!
Wasn't the case already closed?
Why did someone from the yamen come?
Ji Yunshu's head hurt. She was in a hurry to chase after Li Chuan, so she didn't have time to waste. She asked, "Isn't the case closed? May I know why you're here? "
The advisor smiled and was very respectful. "Miss Ji, please don't misunderstand. It has nothing to do with the case."
"Then?"
"I'm here on behalf of Daren to persuade Miss."
"Huh?" "I know that Miss has important matters to attend to, so I naturally can't stop you. I also can't delay your important matters. It's just that it's rare to meet someone like Miss in Jiahe Town. Daren is also very sincere in inviting Miss to enter the yamen, but not now.
I'm not asking you to take up the post, but … when you're done with your work, can you come back? As long as you agree, you can stay for as long as you want. "The advisor spoke politely.
It was obvious that he sincerely wanted to invite her.
But …
Ji Yunshu said, "Thank you for your appreciation, Daren. I've said what I need to say, and I won't change my mind. Moreover, there's no time limit to what I can do, so I can't agree."
"Miss …"
"You don't have to say anymore! I've made up my mind. "
The advisor sighed. "If that's the case, then … it's not good to make things difficult for Miss."
"Thank you."
The advisor saw that she was holding a bundle in her hand and asked, "Where is Miss in a hurry to go?"
"Yan Jing."
"Now?"
"Yes."
The advisor looked outside and hurried to find Ji Yunshu with his mission.
"Miss is going to Yan Jing?"
"Yes."
The advisor looked outside and frowned. "If you leave the city at this time, I'm afraid …"
He wanted to say something but stopped.
Ji Yunshu asked, "What's wrong? Can't we do it at this time? " "It's not that we can't, but Miss probably doesn't know yet. Recently, some bandits have popped out of nowhere outside the city and are blocking the road to Yan Jing. There are too many people, so they don't dare to cause trouble. But if women and children travel alone, they will suffer.
It's not appropriate for me to see Miss traveling alone. "
