Chapter 80: Dumbfounded
Wang Demin's face changed when he heard this, and he retorted without showing weakness: "What does Lord Guo mean by this?" This county has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is not the first time that a fire has occurred. I have been drinking tea with Lord Bai, and I don't know about the fire at all, if Lord Guo insists on framing his subordinates for no reason, the lower official will say that he will go to the prefect with you to comment on the reason! ……”
Bai Du on the side also hurriedly said: "The master of the king has indeed been with the lower officials all the time, I know that the lord is anxious because of the fire in the account room, but if there is no evidence, it is indeed inappropriate to suspect his subordinates like this......"
Guo Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel stunned when he saw the two of them, the county secretary and the main book can be said to be the right-hand man of the county order, if Baidu and Wang De* hand to deal with him, then his county order will be more and more difficult to do, and Wang Demin is so fearless Naturally, he is also relying on Huang Yihua's momentum, and it is really not good to attack Wang Demin before he has the conclusive evidence, so he said coldly: "When did I say that I suspected that Lord Wang deliberately set the fire?" If the king has a clear conscience, why should he be in a hurry to argue? Anyway, Master Wang is in charge of the county's money and grain, and now that the money and grain account book was suddenly burned down, isn't Master Wang responsible? ! ……”
These words hit Wang Demin's key point, so that he didn't know how to refute for a while, and was about to use strong words, but Bai Du on the side quietly pulled his sleeves, and said to Guo Zhiyuan: "What Lord Guo said is reasonable, the account room caught fire, the money and grain account books were burned, and we are all responsible, but now the cause of the fire has not been identified, and it is a little too early to talk about accountability. I should give an explanation to the county magistrate ......"
Guo Zhiyuan glanced at Bai Du, this Bai Xiancheng's attitude towards himself seemed to be quite respectful, but his words were not leaky, but he was more difficult to deal with than the aggressive Wang Demin, but he also knew that now that the account books had been burned, there was no point in staying even if he stayed, so he snorted coldly and said: "Since this is the case, then the official will wait tomorrow to see how you explain to me!" ......" After speaking, he took Zhang Cheng and the others away.
As soon as Guo Zhiyuan left, Wang Demin complained to Bai Du: "Brother Bai, what are you doing, as long as I bite to death and don't admit it, I don't believe he dares to do anything to me!" Isn't your promise to give him an account tomorrow now tantamount to bowing your head to him? Tomorrow he will bite and hold on, how should we deal with it? ……”
Bai Du smiled coldly, leaned into Wang Demin's ear and whispered a few words, Wang Demin's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he gave Bai Du a thumbs up and laughed: "High!" That's high! I'll see how he steps down tomorrow! Ha ha! ……”
Guo Zhiyuan went out of the county office, and his mood became heavier and heavier, this whiteness and Wang Demin were clearly colluded together, and the entire county government itself did not even have a person who could be trusted, if it continued to develop like this, he would only be the commander of the light pole as the county commander! It's not okay to go on like this, you have to fight back, otherwise it's too passive, but how can you fight back?
Chu Wan'er saw that Guo Zhiyuan was silent, so she quickly chased after him, and said indignantly: "This fire must have been put by the king!" You should have just arrested him! ……”
Guo Zhiyuan rolled his eyes at Chu Wan'er a little speechlessly, and said in his heart that it would be so simple, if there was no conclusive evidence, he would have arrested Wang Demin directly, which just gave Huang Yihua an excuse to rectify himself, but it became himself who was caught in the end. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he didn't care about Chu Wan'er, turned his head to Zhang Cheng behind him and asked eagerly: "Zhang Cheng, where are the few splashes that I caught before?" ……”
Zhang Cheng scratched his head a little uncertainly and said, "I have sent them to the county jail and imprisoned them according to your orders, and now... It's supposed to be still closed, right? ……”
"Take me quickly, I'm going to interrogate them overnight!" ......" Guo Zhiyuan waved his hand eagerly.
"If you don't catch the tiger, what's the use of you going to interrogate a few splashes?" Chu Wan'er pouted disapprovingly at first, but soon her eyes lit up again, and she clapped her hands and said, "I understand!" You are going to follow the vine and find the people who make them besiege the county government, and then you can kill the chickens and monkeys! ……”
Guo Zhiyuan's mood improved, and he tapped Chu Wan'er with his finger and said with a smile: "You are finally not stupid yet, otherwise it would be really something... It's a brainless ......"
Although Chu Wan'er didn't understand what Guo Zhiyuan meant by "what's so big and brainless", she also guessed that it was not a good word, her pretty face flushed, and she pointed at Guo Zhiyuan and scolded: "Okay, you Guo Zhiyuan!" How dare you call me stupid! You're stupid, you big idiot! ......" said and pounced towards Guo Zhiyuan with his teeth and claws!
chased all the way to the county jail, this county jail is naturally not as majestic and majestic as the Jinyi Wei Zhao Prison that Guo Zhiyuan saw in the capital, it is a long row of small bungalows, before he reached the door, Guo Zhiyuan heard the cell head and a few jailers were shouting five and six drinking and boxing there, and when he got to the door, he saw that several people were drunk, and they couldn't sit steadily, and they were still holding the wine jar and crying wolf!
Guo Zhiyuan coughed a few times in a row and no one paid attention to it, and Zhang Cheng on the side had to shout: "The county order has arrived!" The cell boss came to his senses at this time, and finally saw Guo Zhiyuan in official uniform, startled, and pulled the jailers who were drunk more than him to stand up and salute Guo Zhiyuan, and stammered: "See... I've seen the county magistrate... Big... Big man! ……”
Guo Zhiyuan didn't bother to be angry with these low-level errands, anyway, after he gained a firm foothold, he would definitely rectify these low-level errands, and waved his hand and said: "Where are the few people who were escorted by the county during the day?" Quickly bring this county over, and this county will interrogate them......"
The cell boss smiled flatteringly: "This cell is very dirty, it is better to let the villain bring the person out, and the county magistrate will interrogate here......
Guo Zhiyuan since the last time he entered the edict of Jinyiwei, there are some shadows on this gloomy cell, hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement, the cell head hurriedly took a few jailers with the cell key and hurriedly went to pick up people, after a while did not see anyone coming, but heard a few panicked cries from the prison, Guo Zhiyuan didn't care about the psychological shadow, and rushed in with Zhang Cheng and others, and saw a scene that stunned him, there was no prisoner in the huge cell, and a big hole was broken in the wall, obviously, All the prisoners have escaped from this big hole!
