Chapter 57 He Feng (2)
When everything was over, it was half an hour earlier than Gu Niannian had expected.
Gu Niannian also did some self-organization, arranging the people in her mind for easy memorization.
Gu Niannian completed the entire process in meditation, that is, she sat at the desk with her eyes closed.
The yamen runners below the stage were also bewildered as they looked at the county magistrate who had his eyes closed and remained silent, and they all looked at County Lieutenant Wu.
County Magistrate Wu was old and had experienced a lot, so he said he should be patient and wait for the county magistrate to give orders.
The waiting time was not long. After a quarter of an hour, Gu Niannian opened her eyes, "Okay, County Magistrate Wu and Chief Lin, get ready and go with me to visit Chief Clerk He."
"The rest of the people should be on duty, and those who should be on duty should be on duty."
After Gu Niannian, County Magistrate Wu, and Lin Huohuo left...
"This county magistrate must be joking!" The bailiff on duty couldn't help but say to his companion.
"Yeah! How could a county magistrate come in and do nothing on his first day? He just stopped us and asked us questions, then left without even asking about the case..."
Another yamen runner echoed.
"They said they were visiting He Zhubu, but I think the three of them went out for drinks and a walk. What's so great about He Zhubu's minor injuries? Catching a thief is always a painful experience... He's just being so pretentious..."
The other yamen runner was a little surprised to hear him talk like this. The new county magistrate was like an embroidered pillow and asked some inexplicable questions. It was okay to complain about him.
But He Feng worked with them, and when he met some vicious thieves, he was always the first to rush forward. This was not his job, but he took one monthly salary and did two jobs. When his brothers were in trouble, He Feng would help them if he could, without asking for anything in return.
"Zhou Mi, what's wrong with you? He Zhubu has treated us very well. You're going too far!"
One of the yamen runners stood up for He Feng
"Chen Hao, you don't understand, he is just a hypocrite." The yamen runner named Zhou Mi sat on the chair and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Zhou Mi, you can't hold a grudge just because the wife you met a few days ago liked He Zhubu!"
"He Zhubu is handsome and elegant. There are many women in Lin'an County who like him. If he doesn't work out, just look for someone else. Don't hang yourself on the same tree."
The yamen runner named Chen Hao thought that Zhou Mi was holding a grudge, so he insulted He Zhubu and tried to comfort him.
"What...what?! Am I that kind of person? I'm Zhou Mi, and my cousin's family is the richest businessman in Lin'an County. The women who want to marry me line up from the government office to the city gate. And I still hold a grudge against him because of a woman. Am I that petty..."
Zhou Mi jumped up from the chair with a flushed face, as if he was angry or someone had hit him in a sore spot.
Chen Hao didn't reply but just looked at him quietly. After being together for so long, he knew what kind of person Zhou Mi was. He was straightforward and outspoken. He usually boasted, but he never did anything to slander others.
He is just a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old. Everyone has gone through the same thing. Chen Hao is older than him and more stable.
Zhou Mi felt a little uneasy when he looked at her, and he confessed everything, "After we met that day, the woman was actually quite satisfied with me. But then, for some reason, she rejected me. I was puzzled at the time, so I thought about going to He Feng for a drink!"
"You know, he treats us very well and usually takes good care of us. I just want to go and tell him about my troubles. I am not just a woman who has been looking at me like this, I have been like this for several years."
Zhou Mi gave up and told the truth.
Chen Hao nodded, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed. Did you get stabbed by a villain? How come you were fine at the beginning, but then disappeared?"
"I think I, Zhou Mi, am not bad looking. Although I am not as tall and mighty as He Feng, I am still a handsome young man, right? I have a family background and I have no worries about food and clothing. Why do I flatter every girl I fall in love with?" Zhou Mi said distressedly, holding his face with both hands.
"Brother, don't be impatient, you are still young, maybe you can succeed after watching a few more."
Chen Hao couldn't find words to comfort her, but since it had come to this, he couldn't help but say a few words of comfort.
Zhou Mi smiled bitterly and returned to the topic, "Didn't I go to see He Zhubu that day? And then... I saw..."
……
Gu Niannian and the other two arrived at the gate of He's mansion. When the servant at the gate saw that the visitor was wearing official uniform and was accompanied by Wu County Magistrate and Lin Qichang, he knew who they were!
Hurry up and greet them one by one
"Go and inform him that I, County Magistrate Wu, and Chief Lin will come to see how his injuries are."
Gu Niannian couldn't help but frown as she looked at the handsome servant in front of her.
"My lords, my master said that if we see you coming, we don't need to inform you specifically, we can just bring people over directly."
"Okay, then... please lead the way!"
The He Mansion is neither big nor small, but the decorations inside are rough yet detailed and unique. It seems that he, a man, has put a lot of effort into it.
The servant led a few people to the door of a house and said, "My lords, my master is inside. I won't disturb him here."
After saying this, the servant retreated.
Gu Niannian opened the door and a fragrance hit her face.
"What smell?" Gu Niannian frowned.
"Perhaps it's the scent of the ointment," County Magistrate Wu explained.
"Yes, yes, I was injured when I caught a thief before, and I also applied medicine, and it smelled like this," Lin Qichang agreed.
Gu Niannian went in half-believing and half-doubting, only to see a man lying on the bed with his upper body naked and his chest wrapped in gauze, presumably where he was injured.
"This figure is really amazing, eight-pack abs, a perfect inverted triangle figure, and his face looks so much like Li Jing." Gu Niannian couldn't believe what she saw, rubbing her eyes with her hands, and confirming again
"This is too similar!"
Gu Niannian was stunned accidentally
County Magistrate Wu stepped forward and said, "Master He, wake up! The county magistrate is here to see you."
He Feng, who was sleeping soundly at this time, opened his eyes drowsily, came to his senses, and wanted to get up to pay his respects to the county magistrate.
Being held down by Gu Niannian, "Master He is injured, so there is no need to be so polite."
He Feng heard him say that and didn't force himself to get up. "Thank you, sir."
After seeing this, they said some polite words in official circles, expressing the government's commendation for He Feng's actions. He Feng was not feeling well and it was really inconvenient for him to invite others to dinner, so they prepared to go back.
Wu Xianwei and Lin Qichang went home directly
Gu Niannian thought that there were still many case files on the desk and prepared to go back to the government office to take a look.
Reading case files is like writing. The mind is unusually clear at night, and it is easier to find flaws, so Gu Niannian is now more accustomed to checking case files in the dead of night.
Gu Niannian entered from the back door of the government office and heard a voice
"Even if the woman you're seeing comes from He Zhubu's house, it's nothing!"
"His mother originally made rouge and powder and sold them, so it's not surprising that a woman came in to buy some perfume."
Chen Hao didn't care
