Rise From the Humble

grown ups?

No, it’s actually another official!

However, this adult is too young! He looks like he is only fifteen or sixteen years old!

The people watching were in an uproar, and their eyes almost burst out. They couldn't believe their eyes, as if the sun had risen in the west.

One second he was the idiot they were laughing at, and the next second he turned into an official! From the second idiot to the official, the gap is too big. Everyone couldn't accept it for a while, but the facts were there and they couldn't help but believe it.

The official certificate that Zhu Pingan just took out in the field was not unfamiliar to them. The arrogant fifth-grade Tongzhi just took it out once; although they could not tell the authenticity, official officials who often come into contact with these things would definitely be able to tell the difference. It was clear that the two officials knelt down on the spot.

Among them, the one who had the biggest reaction was the old man who lived in the same cabin as Zhu Pingan on the ship. The old man had always regarded Zhu Pingan as a scholar who went to Yingtian Mansion to take the scholar examination. Last night, when Zhu Pingan was studying at night by candlelight, the old man even thought that Zhu Pingan was studying at night. His nephew, for example, mentioned a lot of experience in rushing for the exam. As a result, I never expected that what kind of scholar was he rushing to take the exam? He was already an official!

Oh my God, how old this guy is!

But thinking about the scene of Zhu Ping'an reading at night by candlelight, the old man was even more impressed. No wonder he has already become an official at a young age. The young man's hard work is worthy of him. God rewards hard work.

The changes on Zhu Ping'an's side attracted the magistrate of Chun'an again. Although the magistrate of Chun'an is very arrogant and unyielding, the most basic etiquette in the officialdom cannot be ignored.

When greeting each other, Magistrate Chun'an acted the same as before in front of Master Tongzhi. He stood as straight as before, but slightly arched his hands.

"May I ask this gentleman, what is the basis for what you just said?" After receiving the gift, the magistrate of Chun'an did not hesitate for a moment and directly asked Zhu Pingan the question.

This is what everyone is concerned about. At this moment, everyone's eyes are focused on Zhu Pingan. That’s right, why, what’s the basis for it? Just because you are an official, you can't say that someone is the murderer, so he is the murderer. Your words are unfounded, and you have to provide some evidence.

All the attention is on it, but that’s all.

Facing the eyes of the magistrate and everyone, Zhu Ping'an did not whet everyone's appetite and turned his attention to the boatman Wang Gui.

"Sir, I'm wronged, I'm wronged." Boatman Wang Gui knelt on the ground under Zhu Pingan's gaze, shouting that he was wronged, as if he had suffered a great injustice, but his eyes were a little dodgey, and he did not dare to look at Zhu Pingan. looking into each other's eyes.

Seeing Wang Gui's exaggerated performance, Zhu Pingan shook his head slightly, walked up to him, and asked lightly: "Do you still remember what you called when you went to call the door of Mr. Zhang's house this morning when Mr. Zhang didn't arrive? What?"

"When the door is called?" Boatman Wang Gui was stunned.

"Yes, do you still remember?" Zhu Pingan nodded.

"Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, open the door quickly." Boatman Wang Gui didn't know what Zhu Pingan meant by asking, so he subconsciously said it.

After listening to Wang Gui's words, Zhu Ping'an nodded, then turned to look at Magistrate Chun'an, cupped his hands slightly, "This is why I call him a murderer."

ha?

The onlookers were at a loss.

Where is this? What is this? Just by one sentence, I can conclude that the boatman Wang Gui is the murderer. It's very normal to call the door. How normal.

There must be a shady secret. This is not a shady secret, so what is a shady secret?

The word "official" has two meanings. The poor will not fight with the rich, and the people will not fight with the officials! Hey, these officials take whatever they say they have, and they don’t have it if they don’t. They just say what they say. They confuse right and wrong and call a deer a horse, which is a hardship for us ordinary people.

Wang Gui, a boatman, has been making a living by the river for generations. He has been exposed to wind, rain and sun, and has been working hard for a living.

Look at that Mrs. Zhang Wang, dressed in gold and silver, having sex, looking like a vixen in heat, flirting with others! At first glance, he doesn't look like a good person.

However, this little adult actually said that the murderer was boatman Wang Gui, just by knocking on the door! Hey, good people suffer when they encounter these unscrupulous officials! As the old saying goes, the government office opens to the south, so don't come in if you have reason or no money.

The crowd onlookers sighed and their dissatisfaction was palpable.

After listening to Zhu Pingan's words, the magistrate of Chun'an was thoughtful. After thinking for a few seconds, he turned his attention to the boatman Wang Gui who was kneeling on the ground.

"Sir, you are our Chun'an parent officer. You have to make the decision for the villain. The villain will not accept it. The villain will not accept it. Sir." Boatman Wang Gui knelt on the ground, walked a few steps to the feet of the magistrate of Chun'an, and then hugged He lifted up the magistrate's thighs and began to howl in grievance.

"Not convinced?" Zhu Ping'an lowered his head and looked at boatman Wang Gui.

"The villain is not convinced." Boatman Wang Gui nodded vigorously, tears streaming down his face, feeling so aggrieved.

The people watching felt both distressed and angry. They felt sorry for Wang Gui, the poor man, and angry that the dog official was looking down on human life and calling a deer a horse.

"Okay, you waited for Mr. Zhang at the riverside for a long time this morning, so why did you go to Mr. Zhang's house to call the door?" Zhu Pingan nodded, then squatted down and looked at Wang Gui and asked.

"We made an appointment. This morning I took the boat to take Mr. Zhang to Yingtian Mansion. Mr. Zhang was late and didn't come. Of course I went to Mr. Zhang's house to ask Mr. Zhang to get on the boat." Boatman Wang Gui looked aggrieved and his voice was full of embarrassment. With grief and anger.

"Oh, the person you are looking for is Mr. Zhang."

Zhu Ping'an nodded, his voice as calm as ever, but his next sentence became stern and louder, "Since you are looking for Mr. Zhang, why did you call the door instead of Mrs. Zhang?"

ah?

Zhu Ping'an's question was like a lightning strike, hitting the point directly. Boatman Wang Gui's forehead was dripping with cold sweat and he suddenly sat down on the ground.

Some of the onlookers suddenly understood at this moment, but more people were still at a loss, and they were still blind to the facts and could not understand it at all. At this time, the group of people who suddenly realized it felt very accomplished, took the initiative to explain to the people next to them.

The scene was buzzing, people were whispering to each other, and looking at Zhu Pingan with a bit of awe.

"This means that you knew that Mr. Zhang was not at home, so you called Mrs. Zhang! You knew that Mr. Zhang was not at home, but you still went to Mr. Zhang's house to ask him to board the boat! The thief called to catch the thief. It was originally a good method, but when you called the door, you showed your flaws. ! You are the murderer of Mr. Zhang! Tell me, where is Mr. Zhang? Don’t blame me for not reminding you. If you delay Mr. Tongzhi and my errand, you will be punished with an additional penalty! "

Zhu Ping'an stood up and looked down at the boatman Wang Gui with a serious look on his face.

The onlookers all suddenly understood at this moment, and there was a roar of applause. They were no longer simply impressed by Zhu Ping'an, the little adult. The comparison between before and after made their senses even more intense. I originally thought that he was a fool, a bad official who harmed the people, but I didn't expect that he solved a case that everyone thought had no clue with a simple sentence. Everyone listened to the person involved, but only the young man He was able to detect every detail and see things clearly, and he solved the case in one fell swoop.

No wonder he became an official at such a young age, it’s really amazing.

"Qingtian is alive, Bao Zheng is coming again, Shen Duan, etc." were all shouted out in admiration by the onlookers.

At this moment, boatman Wang Gui had already had his psychological defenses broken down by Zhu Ping'an's continuous questioning. He collapsed on the ground. At this moment, he was being scorned by the onlookers. There was no thought of denial. He was like a hen falling into the water. Yan told the facts of the case truthfully, and then was escorted by the officials to a woods by the river, where the murdered Mr. Zhang was dug out from a messy place with dead grass in the woods.

The moment the murdered Mr. Zhang was found, the onlookers' admiration for Zhu Pingan reached its peak.
