After all, Xiangfu County is a capital city and a provincial capital, and this county government looks extremely majestic, and the ordinary small county town is really incomparable. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

A large group of people entered the gate of the county government, also called "head gate". This gate is very particular, no matter how big the state and county, the gate can only be three bays, each with two black lacquer doors, three bays are six doors, so the people usually call the yamen "six doors".

As the saying goes: "The yamen is open to six doors, and there is no reason to come in without money." ”

After entering the gate, you will arrive at the instrument gate, which is usually closed, and only when the Shangguan visits, or when the elders of the county lord come, will the instrument door be opened and sent off here.

The instrument gate is also a three-bay room, with corner doors on both sides to enter and exit, according to the rules of east in and west out, everyone passed through the corner door on the right, and then saw the main hall in front of the wide open.

To everyone's disappointment, the county lord did not intend to hear the case publicly in the lobby, but escorted Lu Cheng and the three directly to the second hall.

If you don't ask questions in the lobby, the people who follow you all the way won't see the excitement. After all, the second hall of the county government is not something that anyone can enter casually.

The lobby is the main hall of the county government, also known as the "public hall". In fact, under normal circumstances, as long as it is not a big case, it will generally not be tried in the lobby.

When the county magistrate deals with daily affairs, he mostly conducts it in the second hall.

Wei Zhixian didn't know what the county lord meant by this case at this time, so naturally he wouldn't directly escort people to the lobby.

With so many people watching, if the county lord ordered him to give a heavier sentence and use some kind of torture on the prisoner, it would not be easy for so many people to see it.

There is a plaque hanging above the screen door outside the second hall, with six big characters on it: "Tianli Guoju".

Lu Cheng and the others were arrested, and they were taken to the second hall first, waiting for the county lord to come over for interrogation.

Wei Zhixian was dressed in a cyan official robe, with an emu embroidered on the patch on his chest, and sat on it with a serious face. He swept his eyes and saw that among the three people below, the other two had already knelt on the ground, and only Lu Cheng stood upright, shouting in a deep voice: "Bold Diao Min, why don't you kneel when you see this county?" ”

Lu Cheng took a long look and replied without humility or arrogance: "Hui Lord, student Lu Cheng is a student member of the government, and he has a meritorious reputation, so he should not kneel to the county lord." ”

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, his face immediately softened, and he nodded: "Hmm...... Since you are a student, you can stand aside without kneeling. ”

He had heard the name Lu Cheng, who had just taken the high school examination a few days ago, and wrote a poem on the spot in the Confucian Education Department, and now he has long been famous.

Such a person, there is no need to offend himself, maybe one day he soared into the sky and won two Jinshi, wouldn't he become his colleague?

As the saying goes, "30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi". People in the officialdom, no one knows when they may go on bad luck, if you offend too many people, when you make a mistake, people don't give you a stone.

"Thank you, sir!"

Lu Cheng gave up his hand again, walked to the side proudly, and stood calmly.

When Shen Yi saw this scene, he felt very uncomfortable: "Damn, my father forced me to study when I was a child, and I actually took care of playing every day, now that I think about it, I'm a fucking idiot!" ”

Wei Zhixian glanced at the two people kneeling on the ground, and decided to start with Zhang Zijun to understand the details of the matter first, and then make a decision.

In fact, he had already known the approximate process from the mouth of the guard, and now he just wanted to delay some time to see if the county lord would send someone over to convey her meaning.

If no one comes to convey it, they will each be beaten with thirty boards, and the matter will be settled. As for Lu Cheng, he is a talented person and has a meritorious reputation, if there is no special order from the county lord, it is not easy for him to be punished.

That's when the poker face finally arrived. He glanced at Shen Yi and the others, paused slightly on Lu Cheng's body, and then leaned over to Wei Zhixian and whispered in his ear before leaving.

This time, Wei Zhixian's eyes when he looked at Lu Cheng were even more different, and there was a faint hint of flattery in his smile: "Lu Shengren, the inside story of this case, this county has already understood it clearly, you have nothing to do with the case, you can leave now." ”

Lu Cheng was a little stunned, would he be fine?

This county master really knows everything!

"Thank you, sir!"

He arched his hand and said, "These two are friends with the student, and the student wants to wait for them to leave together." ”

Wei Zhixian had no choice but to nod and ordered: "Come on, these two people offended the county lord and were punished for thirty!" ”

"Slow down, adult!"

Lu Cheng hurriedly spoke out to stop him, and for a while he couldn't think of a way to relieve the two of them, so he had to say: "How can my lord convict my friend just by listening to that person's words?" ”

"Okay, you Lu Cheng, are you saying that the county is unfair?" Wei Zhixian asked sharply.

"Huh...... Who dared to be so bold and interfere with Lord Wei's questioning of the case? ”

At this time, a leisurely voice came from outside the hall, Lu Cheng looked back, but saw an official who was also wearing a green robe slowly pacing inside. Behind him, there were also Zhao Yuhu and the three of them, as well as Professor Sun of Fuxue and the shopkeeper of Zuixian Building.

Seeing this scene, Lu Cheng's brows couldn't help but jump slightly: "Looking at this posture, it seems to be coming at yourself." This Zhao Er, what tricks do you want to play today? ”

When Wei Zhixian saw the visitor, he immediately got up to greet him, and said with a smile: "Xiaguan has seen Lord Tuifu, I don't know why my lord came to Xiaguan today?" ”

Hearing the title of Wei Zhixian, Lu Cheng immediately understood that the person who came was a magistrate in the government office, and he was a grade of Zhixian.

However, in terms of authority, Wei Zhixian is far inferior to this magistrate. Although you are also an official in the prefecture, you are at the county level, and the people are at the prefecture level, which is not a level at all.

Tui Guan, the second official of the first government, belongs to the four leaders in the government, commonly known as the "four mansions", specializing in criminal names and praise and statistics. In other words, in cases that have been tried in various prefectures and counties, the government magistrates have the right to intervene. For Wei Zhixian, this official is a serious boss, and he can't be easily offended.

Sure enough, as Lu Cheng expected, this pusher was indeed coming for himself, only to hear the other party say: "Hehe...... This official heard that Lord Wei arrested a student who made trouble, but I don't know if there is such a thing? ”

Wei Zhixian was stunned when he heard this, and replied: "This is indeed the case, this person's name is Lu Cheng, he is a student of the Fuxue, and the officials are still interrogating." ”

The magistrate nodded and said, "That's easy to do, someone came to complain to the official, saying that this person was bribing the examiner and cheating in the field to get fame." Then he relied on his fame, and ate the overlord meal in the drunken fairy building, and the shopkeeper stepped forward to reason with him, but he was angry, openly hurt people, and smashed the drunken fairy building. Wouldn't such an act be a smear on the faces of the court and the scholars of the world? ”

After saying this, everyone present was stunned, even Wei Zhixian was no exception. How could he not hear it, this official is convincing, and every sentence is heart-wrenching, and it is clear that he has an enmity with this Lu Cheng!
