Chapter 65 Entering the Government
It's been a half of June, and it's quite hot. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
No one wants to go out at noon or in the afternoon, when the sun is at its highest, and the streets are sparsely populated, not even two or three cats and dogs.
A carriage stopped in front of the gate of the county government in Zhusha County, and a group of four people was quickly welcomed into the county office.
The group of four people is Luo Gong, Yu Shi, Bingwei and Liancheng, and the people who are waiting in front of the gate of the county government are the lord of the county government, Bo Zhang Gengli, who quickly arranged for the rest of the four people after welcoming the adults from the national capital Chujing into the yamen.
Although it is not a day and night journey, but in order to arrive in Zhusha County as soon as possible, Luo Gong and Yushi did not stop and rest during the period, and finally arrived at the northern border for about a month.
However, for the kindness of the county lord of Zhusha Bo Zhang Gengli, Luo Gong was as kind as a stream, and with a nod, the four of them entered the county mansion in the backyard of the county government, stayed in the room arranged by Zhang Gengli in advance, washed off the dust, ate a little, and then rested for a while.
The backyard is also known as the inner office, which is mainly divided into three courtyards, the middle is the county house, the left is the county house, and the right is the main thin house, all of which are simple and easy to build.
The front yard is after passing the instrument gate, there is a lobby and two halls in the front, the second hall is also called the Zhengguang Hall, and there are the classic history house, the official house, the government house, the county prison, the house and so on the side.
And in front of the lobby there is a wall, called the Imperial Monument, between the Imperial Monument and the Instrument Gate, there are the Pavilion of Affirmation and the Pavilion of Justice, the Pavilion of Affirmation lists evil, and the Pavilion of Righteousness promotes goodness.
In the middle of the front yard after the front gate, there is a grain collection office, a land shrine, and a Yin hotel.
Yu Shi ate something, and after washing up a little, he didn't feel tired, so he walked up in the county office, which was a place where he had to stay for a while after being familiar with it.
At this moment, she was standing behind the instrument gate, in front of the wall.
This side of the imperial oracle tablet facing the instrument door is the front of the wall, upright, righteous and awe-inspiring embossed with the word "holy oracle", the back of the wall is facing the lobby, is facing the case seat of the county on the lobby, every time the county is promoted, you can see the sixteen big characters engraved on the back of the wall - Erfeng Erlu, the people anoint the people, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive!
It means that you must not be corrupt, abuse the government and harm the people!
In every yamen of Chu State, no matter how big or small, there is such a wall, on which are all engraved with these sixteen big characters, which is the emperor's admonition to every yamen.
This Zhusha County Yamen has it, and there is also it in the Jinyi Wei Yamen.
After seeing the imperial monument, Yu Shi thought about going to Zhengguang Hall to take a look, but as soon as he took a step, Liancheng came over:
"Your Excellency, the commander has a request!"
Yu Shi asked, "Didn't the commander go to rest?" ”
Lian Cheng said: "No, the commander said that he was not tired, and he had to look at the case file first, and Zhang Zhubo was also waiting in Zhengguangtang early, so he waited for the adult to go, so that he could start talking about the murder of the three magistrates of Zhusha County." ”
Yu Shi nodded, and then led the way:
"Bingwei is also there?"
Liancheng looked a little surprised: "No, why do you ask like that?" ”
Yu Shi glared at Liancheng: "Why do you say I asked like this!" Bingwei is two years younger than you! As soon as you arrive at the place, you will know that you will first familiarize yourself with the terrain, and then learn about the local people's conditions, and then inquire about the case by the way. ”
Liancheng smelled a faint and strong hatred that iron is not made of steel, his neck shrank, and he took two steps back:
"My subordinates are going!"
Entering the Zhengguang Hall, Zhang Gengli saluted Yu Shi, and Yu Shi saluted Luo Gong again, and then sat down under Luo Gong.
Luo Gong asked: "Liancheng was driven out of the Ya by you?" ”
Yu Shi said expressionlessly: "My lord is wise! ”
Luo Gong smiled, and did not continue the topic of Liancheng, but turned to Zhang Gengli, who was waiting on the side and didn't even dare to sit:
"Yu Qianhu has also arrived, Zhang Zhubo still sat down and talked to us about the beginning and end of the Tongqian Zhixian case in the past three months."
Zhang Gengli only promised to be, but he didn't dare to sit down, let alone look at the smiling Jinyi Guard commander above, nor did he dare to look at the northern family of Qianhu, which seemed to be a little unhappy when he entered Zhengguang Hall, as early as a month ago, he received the paperwork sent by the fast horse.
The gist of the document is that there will be no fourth Zhusha County magistrate, and before the Tongqian magistrate case is broken, the life of the pillars of the imperial court can no longer be sent in vain, and the emperor personally issued a royal order, and sent the Jinyi Wei commander Luo Gong and a thousand households in the north to Zhusha County to thoroughly investigate the case, so that Zhusha County and the neighboring government offices, officials from all parties fully cooperate with the Jinyi Wei case, there must be no mistakes!
The document was sent from Chujing, passed down layer by layer, and reached Zhusha County, which took nearly half a month, only more than ten days earlier than Luo Gong and Yushi and others.
In the past ten days, Zhang Gengli has worked hard to find out the situation of the upcoming case in Zhusha County, but he is just the head of Zhusha County, and no matter how hard he tries to investigate, he has not been able to find a flower.
Originally, the magistrate of Zhusha County was killed, and Wang Peng of the county should be in charge of the affairs, and handle the miscellaneous affairs of the Yazhong on behalf of the magistrate, which naturally included entertaining these two Jinyi Wei who had come all the way from Chujing to receive the imperial order.
However, Wang Peng was timid and afraid, and he was even more careless than Zhang Gengbian, a little master.
Hearing that Wang Peng had been killed by three magistrates in a row and was bedridden with fright, Yu Shi couldn't help but say:
"This Wang Xiancheng is a life-sparing person."
Zhang Gengli's throat was blocked, his voice was hoarse, and he couldn't answer for a while, and his face was full of sadness.
He is not a dull person, otherwise he would not have been sick and bedridden when Wang Peng was sick, and he had no leader in the yamen, he had survived for such a long time, and he had no real skills, where could he withstand the pressure from all sides inside and outside the yamen, and the people from above and below.
Hearing the unconcealed sarcasm in Yu Shi's words, Zhang Gengli's heart was surging, and Luo Gong who saw the head had no intention of answering, only waiting for his reply with Yu Shi, he left his seat and knelt down in front of Luo Gong after a period of overturning the river and the sea, and said with difficulty:
"Wang Xiancheng is weak in the end, and he is afraid that the county magistrate has gone, and then the murderer sees that there is no new county magistrate to take office, and he will transfer the target to Wang Xiancheng's head, so frightened, so internal and external troubles, this disease is like a mountain and a sea, as soon as it comes, it almost takes half of Wang Xiancheng's life, and the lower officials are here to ask the two adults for Wang Xiancheng not to blame!"
This Zhang is a loyal person, the county is dead, the county is brave, he not only bears all the chores of the yamen, but also pleads for Wang Peng in front of Yushi and Luo Gong, and strives to forgive.
Yu Shi's favorability towards Zhang Gengli immediately rubbed upwards, and couldn't help but look at Luo Gong.
Luo Gong smiled and said nothing, but he also understood what Yu Shi meant:
"Master Zhang doesn't have to be like this, get up and speak!"
Zhang Gengli thanked him and got up.
Yu Shi then asked, "I don't know where Wang Xiancheng is now?" ”
Zhang Gengli said: "It's been a month since I returned home to recuperate. ”
One month?
The current county magistrate Lin Chang was killed a month ago, so isn't it that as soon as Lin Chang died, Wang Peng was so frightened that he went home?
