¡°Wu Chengen didn¡¯t mean to be scornful at all. In addition to the fact that the county gentleman was unable to come back at the moment, his sedan chair was also brought, guards were arranged, and there was no shortage of honors.
"It's a pity that Lin Xun acted on his preconceptions and thought the worst of Kunshan County. What could Mr. Wu do about it?"
He wanted to get close to the security guard and explain it to him, but unfortunately he was ignored at all.
Wu Chengen had no choice but to ask the patrol team to check into the county mansion.
The county mansion is located near the county government office and was built only two years ago. Wu Chengen had people clean the main courtyard again, replacing all the furniture with water-filled huanghuali, and replacing the tea sets with fine porcelain. Other fees are also provided at high standards.
These were all taken from the house of the arsonists. Wu Chengen saw that it was difficult to sell it, so he used it as a public property for the county. Unexpectedly, it was used on the first day.
Old Wu also asked the best hotel in the county, "Songhe Tower", to arrange the meals for the patrolling adults, and also sent a number of servants to serve him in shifts.
But even after doing this, Lin Xunjian still didn't even see Lao Wu, and only let Chang Sui deal with him.
Wu Chengen had no choice but to leave the twenty soldiers on duty in two shifts to protect the safety of the patrolling officers, and then returned helplessly.
Of course, the soldiers were all warned to keep their eyes open and keep a close eye on the patrol officer and his party.
Who they met and where they went must be reported in a timely manner.

Wu Chengen returned to the county government office gloomily. Xu Wei was having lunch. When he saw this, he pointed at him and laughed loudly: "I told you not to touch someone's cold butt with your hot face, right? If you don't listen, you'll have fun now."
"You!" Wu Chengen was furious at first, but after a while he laughed at himself and said, "You are right not to let my boss come back. He is just here to cause trouble, and has no intention of doing anything good with the county."
"You just know that?" Xu Wei smiled, poured him a glass of old wine and said, "Have a drink to calm down, then go back and watch the show."
"Alas" Wu Chengen picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

The county mansion is a place used for official receptions in the county, similar to the guest houses of later generations.
In the main courtyard of the Kunshan County Mansion, there is a three-couplet hall connected to the flower hall.
At this time, the shadows of the trees outside the window were clattering, and the cicadas were chirping. Lin Xunjian, who was twenty-seven or eighty years old, was alone in front of a table full of food and wine, but he felt extremely desolate.
Wherever you go, there is always a welcome banquet.
Especially as his term of office is coming to an end, Lin Xunjian cherishes every time he is entertained even more.
Who knows where we will be thrown into next year
But this damn Kunshan County actually allowed me to eat alone!
Without the compliments of officials and gentry to accompany the wine, no matter how good the food is, it will taste like crap, you know?
"Although this court is here to ask you to release him, this court has not said anything or done anything. How dare you humiliate me like this?"
"This is forcing this court to kill!"
Lin Xunjian became more and more angry as he thought about it, and slapped his chopsticks hard.
"Here comes someone!"
Those who were eating out quickly took a few bites of food, put a meat pie in their sleeves, and ran in to wait for orders.
"What orders do you have from the hospital?"
"Retrieve the Kunshan County files, this court wants to revise the files!"
The so-called "brushing the papers" does not mean doing the real questions from previous years, but means "brushing the case files".
Every time a patrol inspector visits a place, the most important task is to review the case files of county judgments. At the same time, the criminals will be interrogated to see if they have been wronged or not?
"Yes!" The attendant hurriedly responded in a deep voice, and quickly issued a patrol ticket. He asked Lin Xun to use the guard, and then ran to the county government next door with the ticket to retrieve the execution room files.
??~~
Secretary Xing of the torture chamber had just been called back from the embankment in the morning and was rushing to compile the files on last night's arson case.
In fact, there was no need to be in such a hurry, but Mr. Qingteng had already put a bunch of arsonists in public, and Su Song arrived in Kunshan on the back of his patrol.
If we don¡¯t complete the file quickly, won¡¯t the county become ¡®judge without trial¡¯? You have to eat up and down.
Before the closing statement was written, the inspector came to retrieve this year¡¯s case files.
Secretary Xing hurriedly asked his clerks to deal with the work first and hand over the files slowly. He hid in the clerk's room and wrote furiously, writing the closing statement quickly.
Unexpectedly, the busier he got, the more chaotic he became, and he found that there was still a fingerprint on the file that had not been pressed. He quickly handed the freshly baked dossier and a box of ink pads to his subordinates outside.
? ?The man then rushed out with the dossier in hand and came to the splayed wall at the gate of the county government office to have the arsonists have their fingerprints pressed.
The arsonists had been spoiled, and their hands were tightly shackled by wooden shackles. They could only watch helplessly as the clerk smeared the ink pad on his thumb, and then pressed the file on his finger
In the execution room of the county government office, Secretary Xing had already come out as if nothing had happened, and accompanied the inspector to count the files for this year.
"Since the 21st of the first lunar month, as of today, the county has tried a total of 530 cases, large and small."
"Oh? It's much less than other counties." The patrol manager, Chang Sui, was a little surprised. People in Wuzhong are good at litigating. In other counties, the starting price is 1,000 yuan. Kunshan is only half as good as others.
After finishing speaking, he chuckled and said, "That's right, they all went out to beg for food."
Secretary Xing is a local, so he was naturally unhappy when he heard this, but he could only laugh.
After all the files were counted and put into the big wooden box, just as the lid of the box was about to be locked, Nadian Shi came running in like a storm.
"Wait, wait, wait, there is another case that was just concluded today, but I haven't had time to add it to the list."
"Oh?" The personal attendant took it over, looked at the still-dry ink on the file, and laughed again: "This is a very urgent job. The fingerprints were just pressed on, right? They are still fresh."
"It's a southerly day, it's too humid, it's hard to do anything." Secretary Xing laughed twice and responded perfunctorily. "Let's go to the mansion as soon as possible. Sir, I'm afraid the wait will be impatient."
??~~
After a cup of tea, two large boxes full of files were delivered to Lin Xunjian¡¯s study room in the mansion, and Secretary Xing also followed him for questioning.
He sat behind the desk and asked with a majestic expression: "Are all the case files in your county this year here?"
"Go back to the hospital, everyone is here." Secretary Xing replied, bowing his waist.
"Not a share?" Lin Xunjian asked again.
"Uh" Secretary Xing hesitated for a moment and replied: "There are two other cases with special circumstances. One is the case of Taihu water bandits robbing the county's grain ships, and the other is the case of lawless gangs gathering to attack our Kunshan gunman camp. Because the people involved They are all out of town and have not returned to the county yet, so the details cannot be known for the time being, and naturally there is no way to make a register."
"Humph." Lin Xunqian snorted and lost interest in the two boxes of files.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If He Can¡¯t See the Client or the File, How Can the Judge Intervene?
Then he stepped forward, handed over a file he had put in his sleeve, and reported in a low voice.
"Oh? There is still this matter?!" Lin Xunjian couldn't help being surprised. He didn't expect that a major case of arson and burning of a warehouse occurred in Kunshan County last night!
