Chapter 562: The Truth Comes Out
The moment he was injured, Su Zhiyu knew that he had underestimated the young mayor. It would be a mistake to not be followed without knowing much about him.
Back at the place where they lived, before Su Zhiyu could heal his wounds, several of them were searched, and the mayor had already reacted, and there were others in the town.
After this period of getting along with the villagers, they can be regarded as accumulating a certain amount of credit.
After evading the search, Su Zhiyu directly explained what happened to the mayor, "The mayor is hidden, and not many people know about his skills." ”
"It doesn't say that the mayor can't learn martial arts, but it seems that the whole town doesn't know. What does he want to do to hide that he is a master so deliberately? Du Ruonan frowned after hearing this, and then treated Su Zhiyu's wound.
"Knowing these basic circumstances, we can start investigating, but after these things, the mayor will probably be more cautious." Xiao Huan was a little melancholy.
"We all know about what we should know, and if we continue the secret visit, I'm afraid it won't go as smoothly as before." The big boss got up and looked out the window before speaking.
"How's it going out there?" Du Ruonan asked, although they evaded the search and were not found, the current situation is not optimistic for them.
"Let's go back first, if there are only a few of us investigating, we can't fight with people in a town. The mayor's martial arts are unfathomable, and he can't directly confront him. Su Zhiyu frowned and analyzed.
"Then it's better for us to go back to Jiangzhou to mobilize people and then investigate clearly, we know a lot of things that should be known, even if we can't tell us who is the murderer, but I believe you already have a guess in your hearts." Xiao Huan proposed.
"It is estimated that it will not be found today, and the mayor will definitely try his best to investigate the injured people tomorrow. It's best for us to take advantage of the opportunity at this time. Du Ruonan nodded in agreement.
The big boss didn't have any objections to this, and the four of them reached a consensus again, and they next investigated openly.
Because of the injury and the town's investigation, the mayor spared no effort to find someone, and they took the plane back to Jiangzhou.
They haven't figured out the reason yet, and none of them want to give up. After Su Zhiyu's wound was almost healed, he used the token to transfer the soldiers and horses in Jiangzhou, and directly sent someone to arrest the mayor.
There is such a strong martial arts mayor hidden in the town, so it must be easy for him to steal the disaster relief money at this time.
This is not far from Jiangzhou, and the people here will also be restored to prosperity because of the rescue of disaster relief silver. If there is no little bit of the mayor's handwriting in this, it seems that this is not possible.
So they combined the information from various investigations and focused on the mayor.
It's just that after taking away the mayor, it was immediately caused. The revolt of the people of Linshui Town and their scolding.
"If it weren't for the mayor, we'd all starve to death, so why would you arrest him? He is a good official who truly loves the country and the people. ”
"What do you investigators know? You know if it weren't for Mayor Mare, we'd all be dead. ”
"Where were you when we endured the plague of locusts and almost all of us died? Now they are trying to arrest our life-savers for the sake of investigating the case. ”
Of course, this person who violated the law will be punished by the law, and it is understandable that the villagers complained to them because they loved the mayor.
For them, the mayor is the bread and butter of food. This Du Ruonan can also understand who will not be grateful when they receive gifts from others when they are on the verge of death?
This just shows that the mayor is really good to these villagers, and can do his best to these villagers, and the villagers also give him feedback.
It's just that the writing power is too weak to really save their mayor.
The resentment that Du Ruonan and Su Zhiyu endured took the mayor away and interrogated him.
When we met again, the mayor directly recognized Su Zhiyu as the man in black that night, "It seems that you have already planned to investigate me, I wonder what kind of evidence you have now to prove that I stole the silver taels for disaster relief?" ”
There is no evidence, this master does things without leakage, so there is talk of disappearing the disaster relief silver out of thin air.
In order to protect their mayor, the villagers who knew the truth refused to reveal a word about the disaster relief bank.
They took the mayor under a lot of pressure, and if they investigated like this, it was very likely that the bamboo basket would be empty.
You have to make a dangerous move, Du Ruonan thought about it and smiled slightly, "You can't be blamed for this matter anyway, after all, there are so many people who use it." ”
"All the townsmen, including you, are responsible for the silver he has spent, and the dignity of the law shall not be violated in any way." Su Zhiyu and Du Ruonan sang and harmonized. Love more than the book city
What do you mean by that? As the saying goes, the law does not blame the public. The mayor frowned when he heard them say this, thinking that they couldn't do anything without evidence, but he didn't expect them to say such things.
"Don't you think we're wrong? As the mayor of the town, you should understand that the law and regulations have never failed to blame the people, and as long as you bear the burden of the crime, don't you think it's unfair? Du Ruonan followed and asked.
"You can't say I'm guilty without proof, and you can't frame the blame for the whole town." Mayor Mare's frowned in disagreement.
"This is wrong, we are here to investigate the case, and we already know who the real murderer is, so why bother to pay attention to the so-called evidence. The locust plague has passed, but you are still prosperous here, plus the disaster relief silver that disappeared in Jiangcheng not far from you, and your superb skills. Su Zhiyu listed them one by one, and everyone knew the answers.
The so-called evidence is just a fig leaf, and the villagers are unwilling to confess. They really had no choice but to put their minds on the mayor.
This mayor, who is willing to steal disaster relief money and risk his life, cannot watch those innocent villagers suffer.
"That's just your guess." The mayor clenched his fists and was obviously a little flustered, if these people didn't pay attention to the evidence and arrested people indiscriminately and had to judge the case, I'm afraid no one would be able to stop them.
"These are enough evidence to create, so it's better for the mayor and the villagers to receive the punishment together." Su Zhiyu said that Jin Tangmu was about to make a decision.
"I stole it." The mayor of the town admitted, but he behaved very calmly, the fact is that if he doesn't steal, the people of Linshui Town will not eat or drink, but can only face death.
"My plan works, right?" Du Ruonan's eyebrows fluttered, and her eyes were full of joy.
"It is indeed a good official who worries about the country and the people, as long as he can love the people and do something unavoidable under special circumstances, he can be forgiven, not to mention that this disaster relief silver was originally for the people of the disaster." Su Zhiyu nodded, as if he did not intend to hold the mayor responsible.
After knowing what happened, their group of people was not able to deal with the mayor ruthlessly.
So after the two of them discussed, they decided not only to pardon the mayor of the town, but also to distribute the previous disaster relief money to the people of Linshui Town.
If Linshui is still like this, and if it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any place and encounters some things, I am afraid that it will still fall into a desperate situation like today.
So they decided to plan it to Jiangzhou, and the key to this matter still lies in the prefect of Jiangzhou.
In order to have enough time to solve the current crisis, the four of them divided into two ways, Du Ruonan and Su Zhiyu, to solve the matter of the town mayor.
Xiao Huan and the big boss stayed in Jiangcheng, waiting for their next order, and their task now was to discuss with the prefect of Jiangzhou how to let him take Linshui and manage it well.
If the reasoning is useful, Linshui will not be unpopular for so many years, the handle of the Jiangzhou prefect is still in their hands, and Xiao Huan just took advantage of this opportunity to use it.
"You can be blamed for the things you lied about before, but there are some things that must be made clear to you." Xiao Huan sat on a high seat, looked at the Jiangzhou prefect who was kneeling on the ground, raised his eyebrows, and seemed to feel a little dissatisfied.
"You said, the lower officials must change it strictly according to what you say." Jiangzhou Zhigui trembled on the ground, he didn't expect such a tricky person to come to his Jiangzhou to solve the problem of disaster relief silver.
"The place near the water can be said to be beautiful, but there is no one who is responsible for that place. It is said that when they were in a locust plague and had no food or drink, no one took responsibility for them, and no one cared about their life or death. Xiao Huan said this faintly.
The prefect of Jiangzhou seemed to think of something and immediately understood, "It's the lower officials, and I can't care about the people over there." From today onwards, the people near the water will also be taken care of and taken care of by our Jiangzhou. ”
"Is it true? Should it be in front of the face and back of the back, and then stir the people in the water, not at peace? Xiao Huan followed up and asked, and the official was crushed to death.
Now the prefect of Jiangzhou can humbly beg for mercy in front of her, and in the future, he will be able to be proud in front of the people in Linshui.
"Xia Guan is a parent official, how dare he do those things, the people of Linshui are also His Majesty's people." When the prefect of Jiangzhou heard this, he lay on the ground, for fear of being misunderstood.
Next, several of them knocked on the prefect of Jiangzhou, and they were grateful for the help they received and the town mayor who forgave him from responsibility.
It's just that the matter is far from over, and the group of black-clothed people they met outside Linshui Town can be said to be merciless killers to them.
At first, Su Zhiyu thought that the black-clothed people outside existed to protect Linshui, but it seemed that there was no need for those people at all.
"I wonder if the mayor knows about a group of men in black who are out there protecting the town?" Su Zhiyu asked.
The mayor shook his head blankly, "Although everyone is a little nervous because of the disaster relief silver, it is impossible for me to hire a group of people to protect this place with my own strength." ”
Thinking about it, if the mayor hires someone to protect it, it will make people doubt the origin of the money.
Su Zhiyu wondered what kind of origin was the group of black-clothed people they met outside, who sent them?
