Volume 2 The Storm of the Imperial Capital Chapter 158 Liwei also established enemies
The news in Beijing spread really quickly, especially this kind of officialdom, which is what people like to hear and are most willing to spread, so it took less than half a day, and the Daxing County Commander publicly rejected the entrustment of Li Gu of the Criminal Department, and the news that his son was shackled outside the county yamen to show the public spread throughout the entire Sijiu City like wings.
The direct consequence of the spread of this news was that early the next morning, there were countless idle men in front of the county yamen who watched the Western scenery, as well as some princes and grandsons in the capital. These people have been walking around in front of the yamen in Daxing County for a long time, pointing at Li Huan who was depressed at the yamen from time to time, and the jokes are not stopped, this time Li Gongzi is completely famous in the capital, I am afraid it will be difficult to raise his head again in the relevant circles.
The county government reacted very calmly to the crowd, and only allowed them to watch and discuss outside, as long as these spectators did not come forward to contact the criminals, they would not see them. After all, the county government shackled Li Huan and the others to show the public just to show people, and at the same time, it also showed their own attitude, no matter who they are, what their identity is, as long as they violate the law, they will be severely punished! Now that so many people see this scene in front of the county government, it naturally plays a role in promotion.
And when half of the people in the capital paid attention to this move in Daxing County, Lu Zhen struck while the iron was hot, and closed several previous small cases in a row. Those who either caused trouble in the streets, or bullied others, were also punished accordingly in accordance with the law.
This time, the backers behind these people have nothing to say. After all, Lu Xianling refused to even sell the face of Lang Zhong in the Criminal Department, and he naturally didn't care about others.
Relying on this series of verdicts, the people in the capital finally believed in the determination of Daxing County, which made the public security in the county suddenly much better, even the gangsters and ruffians on the street disappeared in a short time, obviously they were also afraid that the county government would take advantage of themselves, so they could only hide temporarily, or go elsewhere to find a living.
This is a great example, but many people know that the side effects can be amazing. Lu Jin, the county commander, will definitely offend Li Gu greatly if he does not give face this time, and as soon as his son leaves the county office, this criminal department Langzhong will definitely try his best to fight back. And if Lang Zhong, who has real power in the criminal department, wants to deal with a small county order, naturally there are too many means that can be used.
When the time of the three-day demonstration passed, the Li family sent a carriage to pick up Li Huan, and immediately sent him out of the capital - Li Huan was completely damaged in the capital this time, and his reputation was greatly damaged, and Li Gongzi, who had become a laughing stock in the world, could no longer stay here and be embarrassed, and the best choice was to go back to his hometown - as soon as his carriage left, Yue Liqiu frowned tightly, and looked at Zeng Guangdao, who was also frowning beside him: "This time, the trouble of our county lord is coming, and it must be not small." ”
"I just hope that the backer behind him is willing to help him get through this scene." Zeng Guang said softly. He still clearly remembered that Lu Zhen had casually promoted himself to strength, which was not something that ordinary officials could do.
"It's just that the hidden arrow is hard to prevent. This time, Li Langzhong really suffered too much loss, and he will definitely not give up. ”
"What are you afraid of, since I chose to do this, I don't have to be afraid of what they will do later." Lu Jin's voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them, which made the backs of the two officers stiffen suddenly, and then they hurriedly turned around and bowed their hands to greet them.
Lu Jin's eyes swept over the faces of the two, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be like this, this matter is all sponsored by me, the county order, even if they want to blame, they can't blame you." ”
"My lord's words are serious, and the two officials are not worried about themselves. In fact, we also hope from the bottom of our hearts that if you do this, these gentlemen, evil slaves are becoming more and more presumptuous in the capital, and even our Daxing County is also suffering from it. Today, we are happy to see that they can be afraid and become more disciplined. But my lord, this matter is likely to cause a lot of trouble. Zeng Guang said solemnly: "So you must be prepared." ”
"I know that you really care about me, and I'm afraid that Li Gu will attack me once he has no worries. But you can rest assured at this point, this is Beijing City, even if his official position is higher than mine, but after all, he is not my top boss in Daxing County, Yamen, and it is not so easy to attack me. If he comes by force, he will have to fight with me with his own future, I don't think he Li Lang has this courage.
"What my county government has done this time is completely law-based, even if the lawsuit is brought to the Son of Heaven, it will not fall behind. And this matter has now spread all over the city, even if he wants to retaliate, he can't be in a hurry, otherwise he will be very passive, and even if something happens to my county government at this time, someone will contact him. So now it seems that the crisis is not small, but in fact, it is stable in Mount Tai. ”
Hearing him say this, both of his subordinates nodded their heads vigorously, which is indeed reasonable, it seems that they were a little worried just now. Seeing that the two of them easily met their respective public houses, the smile on Lu Jin's face gradually disappeared, although what he said was good, but the revenge in the officialdom was much more complicated than imagined.
Just yesterday, he got a message from Hu Hui that Li Gu had been in constant contact with the official of the DPRK and China in the past two days, and he obviously planned to use the hand of the official Yushi to attack him.
At the beginning of its establishment, it was naturally to supervise hundreds of officials, but after the changes of the past hundred years, the original enthusiasm has long been corroded by the interests of reality. These mouthpieces, who have mastered their mouthpieces, have been bought by the DPRK and China forces in the early years, and have become the sharpest means and weapons they use to eliminate dissidents and attack political opponents. In general, court disputes often start with a war of words and words between the lowest-ranking officials, and then they will affect the officials at the upper level, and finally try to see the poor.
And in addition to being a pawn for the high-ranking officials above, the speech official also has the business of helping people clean up the enemy, just like a killer in the rivers and lakes, as long as you can afford to pay the money, there will be a speech official to speak for you, find the problem of the enemy, and thus impeach him, so that he can not gain a foothold in the DPRK.
If it is an official with a high enough status, even if he is impeached a few times, it is not painful. The existence of such a cabinet assistant minister and the six ministry officials as an assistant minister, it will make people feel uncomfortable if they are not impeached a few times a month. But a county order like Lu Zhen is different, once a certain official grabs the handle and prints a copy according to the facts, I am afraid that this position will be shaken.
Therefore, Li Gu didn't have to think too much about himself to deal with Lu Jin, just ask the speaker to find a flaw and impeach, which was enough for him to have a headache for a long time.
His only hope is that he has no omissions to fall outside, after all, the official also needs decent evidence to impeach himself, otherwise although he will not be convicted for his words, it will also affect his reputation. The Yanguan has a foothold in the DPRK and China because of his reputation, and if it is damaged, the cost is not small, so they will never do anything that they are not sure of.
@@@@@
When Lu Zhen was a little worried, Li Gu was also annoyed. He did find a few officials who had some friendships, hoping that they could impeach Lu Jin.
However, the day before yesterday, they were full of promises, but they came back one after another, saying that things were not easy to do, everything Lu Zhen did in the capital was based on the law, and the thirty decrees he promulgated were all within the scope of the Ming Dynasty's decrees, and he was not only innocent in enforcing the law impartially, but meritorious.
In addition to these, Lu Zhen is too low-key in the capital, and he hardly goes out, so it is even more difficult to find flaws in his problems and impeach. In short, everyone's words can be summed up in one meaning - things are difficult to do, and it is impossible to impeach Lu Jin!
Only one person gave Li Gu a suggestion, that is, to check Lu Jin's resume before coming to the capital, and perhaps find out his problems in his previous career as an official and impeach. However, this requires sending someone to Guangling to collect evidence, which is not something they can do as an official, only Li Langzhong himself paid for someone to excavate.
He tried his best, and even spent a lot of money to ask them to help deal with a small county order, but he got such a result, how could this make Li Gu not annoyed?
"It's all a bunch of rubbish who only know how to play tricks, and they can't even deal with such a county order, no wonder they can't get ahead in Beijing!" After secretly scolding these guys, Li Gu could only sulk in his public room.
Maybe it's a good choice to ask someone from Shuntianfu to come forward, but in this way, the handle is too obvious, and the gains outweigh the losses. For the rest, he really couldn't think of a more appropriate countermeasure.
Just as Li Gu was pacing in the room irritably, there was a whispered knock on the door. He was stunned for a moment, then sat back in his seat and said in a deep voice, "Come in." ”
"Langzhong, these are several cases that happened in March this year, and I still don't have a clue after almost half a year, according to the rules, should they be sealed." A scribe asked in a low voice as he presented several files.
At this time, the criminal investigation methods were far inferior to those of later generations, and the water in the capital was too deep, so many cases were ultimately closed. The Criminal Department often seals up some long-standing unsolved cases every once in a while, so that no one investigates them anymore.
Li Gu was naturally very familiar with this, nodded and said, "Just follow the rules." As he spoke, he took the files and wanted to put on his official seal.
Just when he flipped through these files at will, suddenly the movement of his hand was a pause, and his eyes fell on one of them fixedly, and after seeing the place where this case occurred, a smile floated out: "It's really effortless to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to go, Lu Jin, I didn't expect you to still fall into our hands!" ”
This case, which was supposed to be sealed, happened in Daxing County!
