Chapter 1394 The Dock Is Being Built, Would You Like to Know More About It?
In fact, there are so many people in the family, so there is no need for an outsider to look after Ji Chundong. However, Chou Chou likes him quite a lot. After taking care of him for a while yesterday, the little guy stayed in his thick arms and refused to come out, no matter how others teased him. , she was indifferent. In the end, she had no choice but to look at Ji Chundong.
Unlike someone who would kidnap and traffic children, everyone just discussed it and left the child here. After all, they were all under the same roof, so it wasn't that particular.
Ji Chundong took care of the child for a day, and he was even more tired than if he had given birth to one himself. Children are very precious, and he, a rough man, was used to spending a lot of money, and he was suddenly so careful that he could hardly walk.
What's worse now is that he received a letter that his adoptive father wrote to him two months ago. It was sent to Yuanzhou, but he was not in Yuanzhou, so he went around and sent it from Yuanzhou to Baishanzhou. Now It just fell into his hands.
In the letter, the adoptive father said that he wanted to ask him a favor and asked him to contact him as soon as possible after receiving the letter.
This was the first time Ji Chundong had encountered this kind of thing. His adoptive father Xianyun Yehe was used to it. After he became an official, his adoptive father seemed to have lost his son. He hadn't seen him for several years, let alone asked him for help.
Because it was his first time, Ji Chundong also wanted to show off, but it would definitely be inconvenient with a child.
After rolling his eyes twice, he focused on Cheng Qi.
Cheng Qi was also unlucky for eight lifetimes. He came to deliver a letter and ended up getting burned.
A quarter of an hour later, Cheng Qi hugged the crying baby girl and hurriedly went to Yun Xiang for help.
Yun Xiang took the child and coaxed her for a long time before Chou Chou stopped crying. She asked Cheng Qi who was sweating profusely: "Where is Mr. Ji?"
Cheng Qi was annoyed: "Who knows! Don't ask me! It's so annoying!"
Yun Xiang: "..."
…
Ji Chundong went to the county government office and met Magistrate Song as soon as he went there.
What the adoptive father said in the letter was that he hoped that he could take advantage of his position to inquire about the whereabouts of a person. Because this was not Yuanzhou, and Ji Chundong didn't bring any subordinates, he had no choice but to come to the west to enter the county government and drag the Song County Magistrate to help. .
Because of Wan Li's case, several adults in the Inspector's Office have not yet left. The study, main hall, and Magistrate Song have all been given out. His current office is a small side room in the backyard.
Ji Chundong asked Magistrate Song for help. Magistrate Song was quite enthusiastic and helped him read the classics in person. However, after searching around and finding nothing, Magistrate Song suggested going to the copywriting room to have a look. "Wanhuji is a must-have in every state capital and county. If the person you mentioned, Mr. Ji, was really involved in a murder case within ten years, and it cannot be found in Wanhu's classics, then he must have been in the twentieth century. Among the Ji Dharma books, this year’s Dharma books have not been sent yet, but as of last year’s Dharma books, the contents are available in the copywriting room.
Records, but it may take some time to find the person you are looking for among thousands of books. "
Ji Chundong nodded slightly and expressed his understanding: "I'd better trouble Mr. Song."
Magistrate Song smiled honestly: "Master Ji has served as a minister before the imperial court, and he also held a high position in Yuanzhou. I don't know about the construction of the wharf. May I know more about it?"
Ji Chundong was stunned and looked at him.
Magistrate Song laughed loudly: "It's just a joke, it's just a joke. The copywriting room is just ahead." Ji Chundong entered the copywriting room with an expressionless face. He turned around and found that Magistrate Song was still staring at him. Ji Chundong was speechless and had to say: "Master Song has worked hard to prepare for the construction of Xijin County. It is really respectable. I do have some spare money. If the person I am looking for today can be found before dark, I will
I would like to donate 10,000 taels of silver to support the expansion of Xijin County Wharf. "
Magistrate Song's eyes suddenly lit up: "It's easy to talk, Sir Ji, just sit down and I will give you good news before it gets dark!" Magistrate Song did what he said, for donations and money, he risked his life Originally, Ji Chundong wanted to find the files of old criminals who had committed crimes before and received sentences. He had to rummage through thousands of books on the twenty-gift law, but it was difficult to find it. From the beginning, he planned to give it to Ji Chundong. Open the door and let him
I was searching in the copy office in the dark, but it was different now. If someone wanted to give me money, Magistrate Song immediately issued an order and called all the literate people in the county government to the copy office. Find it for him.
Towards evening, he really found it. Magistrate Song pointed to a page in the classics, and when Ji Chundong's eyelids dropped, he said excitedly: "Here, here, Xiao Xizheng committed two murders in the capital three years ago and was arrested immediately. On his tenth birthday, a general amnesty was granted to the world. This man's twenty-year sentence was changed to exile in the Eastern Desert.
, but at the beginning of this year, he killed the jailer and escaped from the East Desert. He is still wanted today. "
Ji Chundong stared at the page of the file for a long time, copied it down, and planned to go to the post office soon and send a reply to his adoptive father with the found content.
Before leaving, Ji Chundong did not lie to County Magistrate Song, saying that he would have someone send him a banknote when he came back. Magistrate Song was so happy that he did not worship him as his ancestor.
In fact, 10,000 taels of silver is really nothing to Ji Chundong. After being an official for so many years, 10,000 taels of silver is really not that distressing. At least County Magistrate Song also does practical things with money, and uses it wisely, for the sake of the people. Ji Chundong didn't feel any discomfort when the wharf was expanded.
After leaving the county office, while the post house was still closed, Ji Chundong rushed to the post house and sent the letter back to the address sent by his adoptive father. At the same time, he told the postmaster that the letter was urgent and must be delivered quickly.
When he left the post house, it was already dark. Ji Chundong looked at the time and planned to go back to Rong Mansion. As soon as he took two steps, he saw several men in linen clothes. They were dressed loosely and walked very fast. Because the street was narrow, several people had to walk very fast. Passing together, it is inevitable that they will collide with Ji Chundong on the other side.
Ji Chundong did not give way. There were stone steps to his right. There was no way to go further. He thought that the men on the opposite side would turn aside and avoid him, but he did not expect that those men were so arrogant that they walked directly on the right path, as if they did not care about other pedestrians. collision.
Ji Chundong was displeased and wondered where this person came from. He didn't know the rules. Does the street belong to your family? Do you have to occupy a whole road to walk?
As a military commander, he had a somewhat aggressive temper, so he refused to give in. He waited for the other party to collide with him, and then secretly exerted force to knock him down.
It was a trivial matter at first, but when the other party actually knocked him down, Ji Chundong was stunned for a moment.
Just because he heard a "crash" and lowered his eyelids, he saw that among the several people, the man closest to him actually pulled out a dagger and pointed it at his abdomen when he approached him.
Ji Chundong frowned and quickly backed away. Seeing that their methods were exposed, several people actually attacked him directly on the street.
Several daggers were thrust out at the same time, and Ji Chundong was suddenly plotted. When he tried to avoid it, he was inevitably slightly injured.
He distanced himself, stared at the chasing people, and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you?"
A few people didn't answer, but came forward again, with sharp knives in their hands so fierce that Ji Chundong had to retreat continuously.
At this moment, Ji Chundong saw a mole under the eyelids of one of the men. Recalling the wanted poster portrait he had seen in the county government office, his expression changed and he called out the man's name: "Xiao Xizheng?" The person the father wants him to investigate!
