Chapter 16: I Saw the Old Man Crying (Part II)

"Do you know that this person is called Shenhu?!" Gongsun Xun suddenly sneered.

Zhen Du was immediately frightened.

And that panic was enough to change the situation...... In the final analysis, this county magistrate Zhen is not defending his innocence at all, but fighting for momentum, to see if he can maintain his image of being wronged, suppress the scene with that kind of sad and indignant momentum, and then win the trust of Gongsun Xun.

However, his panic made him feel that everything was over.

Not to mention Gongsun Xun, the rest of the people present, etc., which one is not a thoughtful person? At this time, who still can't guess that this person has nothing to do with the assassination at least?

"No, I vaguely heard people in Xiangguo, it seems that a Shen child was lost that day, called Shen Hu......" Zhen Du knew the plan, and he was also sweating profusely, and explained again and again.

"Are you sure?" Gongsun Xun's face did not move, he just looked down at the knife in his hand, and he didn't beat the other party to death with a stick.

"I'm sure!" Zhen Du, who was tied with his hands tied, somewhat regained some momentum at this time, and he insisted on it. "Shen Hu is a well-known ranger in Zhao State, who often wanders around, and when the prince disposed of the Shen clan members that day, he vaguely heard that he was not in the clan, and he should have just escaped. It's just that then he suddenly disappeared again, and I thought it was the prince's people who found him to be punished by the Ming Dynasty. Now that I think about it, it must have been the Handan clan who hid him, so I concluded that it was Shen Hu......"

"You!" The head of the Handan clan was inexplicably angry.

"Junhou, Shenhu wants to seek revenge from the prince, and the Handan clan has always been lawless, so he is dissatisfied with the two court officials who strictly enforce the law, so they joined forces to set such a vicious plan!" Zhen Du didn't look at the appearance of the patriarch of the Handan clan at all, but just explained to Gongsun Xun. "That Shenhu has already saved his will to die, and before he died, he was grateful to the Handan clan and wanted to use the hand of the prince to get rid of me for the Handan clan...... What a vicious heart?! ”

"Prince!" The head of the Handan clan knelt on the ground and kowtowed. "It's the opposite, at this time, it seems that Zhen Du must have taken in Shenhu, and then blamed me for the Handan clan, I hope you will see it!"

"Prince, the imperial court appointed you and me as the chief officials of a place, just to deal with this kind of treacherous and arrogant, don't let the relatives and enemies be happy!"

Zhen Du stubbornly grabbed the words "court officials and Haoqiang" to defend one after another, and for a while, the momentum actually came back a lot.

"It's weird." Gongsun Xun's face remained the same. "Don't hide it from County Magistrate Zhen, I questioned you just now, not because I was curious that you knew Shen Hu, but because you said the wrong person's name...... I have asked someone in the country who is familiar with the Shen family to identify the corpse of the remnants of the Shen family, it is a remote descendant of the Shen family outside Handan City, called Shen Zhi, and the words are long...... Why did County Magistrate Zhen insist that it was Shen Hu? ”

Zhen Du froze again, and then his face turned pale...... In fact, what Shen Changzhen said is the same as true, don't others know him? But whether it is Shen Hu or Shen Xu, isn't it the person in front of him who has the final say? The answer is in the hands of others, no matter how strong you argue, I am afraid that it will be full of loopholes!

In other words, at this time, he still didn't understand that the other party had already decided that he had done it, and he couldn't trust this person at all!

"You probably get it." Gongsun Xun looked at each other coldly. "Actually...... What's the use of such a strong argument? You have done such a big thing in Xiangguo, where did the gold, silver, and food supplied to the bandits come from, and who would make contact with the bandits? Is it really flawless? I went to Xiangguo, let people bring you left and right, and interrogate you carefully, really can't convict you of your guilt? The reason why I only captured you alone is not because I hesitate, but because I don't want to delay and waste time! ”

"But I am the head of a county appointed by Shangshutai, you can't kill me......" Zhen Du also bowed his head in a trance.

Only then did the people around him confirm it...... It's really this person's doing!

"It's less than six hundred stones, after all, he is not an official of the imperial court, there is Shang Shutai to appoint, but there is no Huangmen Supervisor's decree, who said that he can't be killed?" Gongsun Xun asked coldly.

"That's also a state uncle or a county magistrate!" Zhen Du shook his head and scolded angrily. "Although you are a pavilion marquis, you are only a super product in the title, and the official position is only a county order! How can you kill me?! Yes, as you said, there are many things involved in the Taihang Mountain bandits, and I can't hide it, but that is a matter in my office, and it should be handed over to the Minister of State and Uncle Fang for investigation...... As for the fact that you said that I sent someone to stab you, but it is only empty words, if you are not convinced, you should also go to the prime minister! Gongsun Xun, don't you want to think about it, you are a county magistrate, and you kill the magistrate of a neighboring county without permission, how do the people of the world think of you?! As for it?! ”

"As for me, I have my own plans in my heart," Gongsun Xun is still calm as usual. "Why do you think I'm here to question you? Do you think you can survive with Xiang Xu's strange thing? ”

Zhen Du glanced blankly at the surrounding wild grass, and then looked at the layout of the hall of the official temple, and then realized that this was actually the official temple where the prime minister lived!

Now, everything is out of his own hands, and Zhen Du has no choice but to keep silent.

"This person has already admitted to colluding with the bandits." Gongsun Xun turned back to Fu Zong and ordered. "Kill him on this charge! Gong Ao quickly took out the prepared official document and ......"

Fu Zong didn't dare to slack off, and felt that he put down the wooden box in his arms, and took out a book of documents engraved on bamboo and wood from it...... I was actually prepared.

"Come with me, go and ask the minister to use the seal!" Gongsun Xun handed the knife aside, then took the paperwork and went to the backyard of the official temple.

Fu Zong and Zhao didn't know who they were talking about, so they had to follow together.

The three of them walked into the backyard and broke directly into Xiang Xu's room, but saw this Zhao Guoguo Minister cross-legged on the couch with a waist-faced Taoist, talking fiercely, and there were a few books beside him.

Gongsun Xun was not polite, and directly stepped forward to hold the official document and bowed slightly: "Prime Minister of State, Xiangguo County Magistrate Zhen Du colluded with mountain bandits and slaughtered innocents, and now he has confessed, please use the seal of the Prime Minister of the State to punish the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Xiang Xu and that person were stunned, however, without waiting for the former to react, Gongsun Xun directly stepped forward to untie the seal ribbon in the other party's waist.

Xiang Xuden was flustered, and while protecting the ribbon around his waist, he shouted and asked, "Gongsun Xun, what do you want?!" ”

Gongsun Xun didn't answer, nor was he moved, but directly slapped his backhand, just like in front of the Mengjin ferry a few years ago...... Then he didn't untie the seal, but directly asked the stunned Fuzong to take out the yellow mud and dissolve it, and stamped the official seal of the prime minister.

Immediately, he abandoned the people and the country and went directly.

And after a while, Zhen Du looked at the other party who had gone and returned with an extra piece of mud-sealed paperwork in his hand, and he also collapsed: "I don't accept it!" ”

"Why are you not convinced?" Gongsun Xun handed over the soft mud seal to Wei Song and others for examination and testimony along with the documents, but he directly glanced at him.

Seeing this, the latter no longer hesitated, and walked towards Zhen Du with a knife.

Zhen Du became more and more frightened, and directly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "You should know that I don't really mean to assassinate you, please forgive me for a moment or two, and surround my life!" ”

"Then who will be considerate of the innocent lives in Zhang's manor?" Gongsun Xun disagreed. "If you say that the sky is broken, your life will not be spared......"

"I'm going to report the Handan clan!" Zhen Du suddenly said sharply. "The prince doesn't know, this matter is the complicity of the Handan clan and me, when Shenhu came to see me, he said that his whereabouts Handan clan knows, if it weren't for this, I would have killed him a long time ago, why did I get to this point?! That manor was also given up by the Handan clan on his own initiative! ”

The face of the patriarch of the Handan clan was already ecstatic, and he couldn't help but panic at this time, but he couldn't justify it.

"That's it!" Zhumujian returned to Gongsun Xun with a clay-sealed paperwork, and the latter also became impatient. "You are also a court official, so stay decent...... I told you bluntly, Shen Hu didn't reveal half a word about you before he died, but said, 'A lesson from the past, I don't want to be a traitor'......"

"Does he still have the face to say this?" Zhen Du suddenly showed his muscles, and his face turned red. "I am my county magistrate in Xiangguo, but Shenhu is coercing me with my clan's reputation, what can I do?! If I don't, betray the name of my friend again, and our Yingchuan Zhen family will be completely ruined! It was through him that it started! ”

Gongsun Xun was stunned for a moment, but he still made a gesture towards the draw, and the latter immediately raised his hand......

"There is only one thing to ask for!" Zhen Du's heart was cold, but he couldn't help shouting loudly. "There is only one thing to ask for!"

"Come on!" Gongsun Xun will not not give the other party this opportunity.

"After I die, please report the matter of collusion with bandits to the state center and the center, and don't talk about Shenhu......" Zhen Du wept, but he kept grabbing the land with his head." At that time, my uncle was famous for betraying his friends for glory, but my family did not produce 1,600 stones for 20 years. I think I have studied hard since I was a child, but I also suffered a lot of white eyes, and finally I worked hard to make up for a county magistrate! Now, I really don't want the younger generations of the clan to suffer this again! If the name of the traitor is spread again, we Yingchuan ......"

"Got it...... Lamentable! Gongsun Xun suddenly raised his hand to signal.

Seeing this, he no longer hesitated, and directly slashed down, and beheaded this poor man who was tired of his family's reputation in front of the official temple.

Blood was splattered, but mostly blocked by weeds.

Most of the onlookers were speechless, they didn't know what to say, and they didn't dare to say anything.

But at this moment, there was a sudden inopportune cry for help in the corner of the official temple, and everyone looked at it numbly, only to find that it was an ugly Taoist with a waist face who was struggling to support a tall and thin man shouting. The latter's eyes were closed, his teeth were clenched, his face was white and blue and red, and he didn't know what disease he was committing!

Of course, after seeing the seal ribbon on this waist, everyone still didn't dare to slack off, even Gongsun Xun had no choice but to wave his hand to let people check one or two.

The two nominal servants supported this person, and the pig-waist-faced Taoist person, that is, Wang Xian and Wang Minhong, who were sent by Gongsun Xun to accompany the chat, pinched Xiang Xu's people fiercely...... This made Zhao Guoxiang, who was frightened by the scene just now as soon as he stepped into the front yard, finally wake up quietly.

"Everyone, get out of the way a little and let the country breathe." Gongsun Xun didn't say anything, and Lu Fan, who was the county gongcao, could only speak helplessly at this time.

Everyone hurriedly got out of the way.

Xiang Xu looked around blankly, his eyes turned from the grass where the corpse was hidden in the distance to the expressionless Gongsun Xun, and then from the bearded warrior holding a bloody blade to Wang Xian Wang Daoren beside him, and finally, he looked nervously in the direction of the backyard.

"Everyone, wait a minute," Gongsun Xun also sneered in his heart when he saw this. "I'll send the prime minister back to the room...... I'll be right back. ”

The leaders of the clans and big households in the country naturally didn't dare to say much, and Gongsun Xun also waved his hand, and let the two attendants carry the minister to the backyard, and he himself followed again.

Fuzong wanted to keep up, but was dragged back by Lou Gui; And Lu Fan took advantage of the situation to retrieve Gongsun Xun's knife from his hand, and then took out the silk silk and wiped it.

Turning back to the backyard, the two attendants put the Zhao Guoguo minister on the couch and exited the room, Gongsun Xun immediately walked into the bedroom again with his hands, and then looked directly at the state minister.

Xiang Xu dodged, but finally spoke:

"Wang Daoren, I thought you were from the Taiyuan Wang family, and you also cultivated the Dao Law, so I told you with knowledge, but why did you slap me just now?"

Wang Xian sighed, but Gongsun Xun sneered: "It turns out that the minister of the country is really as much as others say, and he is not stupid in his heart!" ”

Xiang Xuyan, who was lying there, immediately shed two lines of tears: "Why does Gongsun County Jun tease me? When I was young, I did those things, three points were really crazy, three points were to live up to the name of my ancestors, and the remaining three points were not to hide from you, just to invite a name to be an official...... But he has been crazy for half his life, and he has really become the face of a country, but he doesn't know anything, and he can't even talk to people well, so that he can't open his mouth to either scriptures or curse. In such a situation, what else can you do if you don't lie on the couch and be a person who 'governs by doing nothing'? ”

Gongsun Xun is trustworthy in this statement...... Xiang Xu has been crazy for decades before, every time he sees a guest, he pouts his ass and doesn't say a word, and for decades, he can't even communicate with people normally, but it is a matter of course.

"So, I'm kind to the Prime Minister?" Gongsun Xun continued to sneer. "If I hadn't sent Brother Wang to be your companion and talk to you all day long, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to say these words today."

"Don't ...... Don't make fun of it! ”

"Xiang Gong," Gongsun Xun said suddenly. "How have I ever made fun of you? Not long after I came to Zhao Kingdom, I also saw that there were no people who were driven crazy and stupid by the word official? To put it bluntly, it's just poor people...... Forget it, don't talk about it, I just ask you, you have to be an official, and I have to do things, is there something wrong?! ”

"It is right to rule by doing nothing, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, you have done too much, always killing people and working ...... people"

"But now," Gongsun Xun shook his head. "Xiang Gong, you can't even get out of the house, how can you talk about cooking Xiaoxian? But I have already killed them all, and I will soon have to work hard...... You have to start with the two, right? ”

Xiang Xu burst into tears: "Why do you want to embarrass me? ”

"I'll be outspoken." Gongsun Xun said simply. "Xiang Gong is the Minister of State...... If you want to rule by doing nothing, you can directly send a document to it, saying that I am good at killing, beating, and seizing the seal, and the king and the central princes will definitely give you an explanation. And if you don't want to send me to prison, turn a deaf ear to what's going on outside the window, and let me do it! How is it?! ”

Xiang Xu tried his best to hold back his tears, and then thought about it, he was also afraid and afraid in his heart, and he was a little hesitant for a while.

"Xiang Gong." The pig-kidney-faced royal Taoist suddenly sighed and persuaded. "It's better to be from Gongsun County...... If he really got into Luo, do you think his men will let you go? ”

Xiang Xu was shocked when he heard this, and only after a long time did he reluctantly speak: "Then Gongsun County, I will give you the seal, don't force me in the future...... How is it? ”

Gongsun Xun shook his head slowly: "Where is the county order to hold the seal of the prime minister?" In this way, you will put it in the next room, lock the door, and give it to the king, one for yourself, and one for the king...... The latter holds the key as your cronies, and I am here to ask for advice on official business, so it makes sense! ”

"It's all up to you!" Saying that, Xiang Xu directly untied the seal ribbon and threw it to the royal man, and then leaned over and cried, the latter had no choice but to try his best to catch it.

Gongsun Xun and Wang Daoren made a look, and the two immediately threw down and walked out of the bedroom.

"Put it away." Gongsun Xun sighed. "Everything, I will naturally let Jun Gong Cao Lu Fan come to you...... When I have time, you and I will have a good talk...... As for this minister, I will allocate some more manpower and take care of him for my life......"

"Don't worry." So far, Wang Daoren can only answer like this, but his ugly eyebrows and eyes can hardly hide his sadness......

In fact, as Gongsun Xun said before, where are the people who are driven crazy and stupid by being officials?

Not to mention how sad the backyard is, Gongsun Xun turned back to the front yard, but immediately put away his sad face and replaced it with the cold face he had before:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Minister of State has already granted me a request to Jizhou celebrities to be the northern superintendents, to supervise the two counties of Bairen and Zhongqiu, and to take the Nanyang celebrity Lou Gui as the central superintendent of the post, and to supervise the two counties of Yiyang and Xiangguo...... The five counties are carried out at the same time, together to appease the thieves in the mountains, check the acres of fields, build public schools, and if it is successful, the whole country will be sent to renovate the Qilu River! You are a famous family of the Zhao State, but do you have something to say about the Minister of State and my policy? ”

At this point, without waiting for others to speak, the patriarch of the Handan clan only felt a chill on his body, so he responded in a hurry and praised him again and again. At this moment, the rest of the big families in the country naturally have nothing to say.

Actually, what can they say?

You must know that the post superintendent is the position of the county supervisor, and the rank is only 100 stones, but just as the 600 stones of a state thorn can represent the central supervision of 2,000 stone county guards, this position can also represent the county magistrate and county order under the supervision of the county guard, and it has always been extremely powerful and responsible. However, Xiang Xu was like that before, and this position was naturally abandoned. And today, Gongsun Xun first killed the magistrate of the neighboring county in public, and then openly installed his cronies in these two positions, as if he was going to completely tear his face and openly seize the authority of Zhao to complete the country!

At this time, what can they, the big families in the country who have signed, except to express their approval?

That is, Wei Song had the confidence to shake his head in public, but he just shook his head.

Handan is very close to Yecheng, so two days later, when Zhao Guo stamped the documents sealed by the state minister to the state, Wang Fang, who had already known the inside story from Zhao Guo, actually sat on pins and needles...... He did not dare to open the official document.

A henchman next to him was engaged in the state of affairs, who was personally promoted by Wang Fang, and couldn't help but ask seriously when he saw this: "What Uncle Fang is worried about is that after this document is opened, the formalities are complete, and there is no unauthorized killing?" ”

"Not bad!" Wang Fang replied helplessly. "Gongsun Xun took a neighboring county magistrate to Handan without authorization, and then killed people in public, which is well known to everyone in Zhao State...... It's terrible, I'm afraid, that Xiang Xu is extremely incompetent, and he actually let Gongsun Xun complete the formalities. If so, you say, should I admit it? Or should I go to Zhao Guo to inquire carefully and find out about this matter?! ”

"Difficult!" The henchman hurriedly spoke. "There are three things that are extremely difficult about this...... First, it was that Zhen Du, the governor of Naxiang State, did collude with the thieves, and this person admitted to his face that all the famous clans of the Zhao State were present, and he was indeed guilty; second, it was Gongsun Xun who was extremely arrogant and domineering, tied up the county magistrate with a county order, and then publicly executed him, which is also well known to everyone; Third, this Zhao Xiangxiang can't be reasonable...... And in such a situation, if Uncle Fang doesn't investigate, I'm afraid that he will be criticized, saying that Uncle Fang is afraid of Gongsun Xun and allows him to be domineering and bullied and killed. But if this matter is really pursued, it will be impossible to find out......"

"Not bad!" Wang Fang became more and more helpless. "If I investigate, not only will I not find anything, but Gongsun Xun will also offend ......"
