Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Wind Rises
"The case file of the Fu Ke case will be handed over to you for safekeeping from now on." Xia Xiang wants Lu Zhiyue to shoulder more of the duties of the clerk, reduce Xu Heguang's power, and the case of Fu Ke is about to enter the most critical stage, if Xu Heguang secretly destroys it and destroys the key evidence, it will definitely be wasted.
Lu Zhiyue immediately understood the meaning of Xia Xiang's words, nodded and said, "The lower official obeys the order!" ”
Xu Heguang's eyes flashed, and he was thinking indignantly in his heart, if Lu Zhiyue only obeyed Xia Xiang's orders in the future, he would be even weaker in Zhending County, no, he must let Yang Jiang make some hands and feet, so that Xia Xiang knows how powerful he is.
"Today is to reminisce about the past, don't talk about business, don't talk about business!" Zheng Hao got up and smiled, and pulled Xia Xiang's arm, "Xia Xianzun, this official heard that there is a large pond in the backyard of Zhending County, and the scenery is beautiful and picturesque. ”
Xia Xiang had no choice but to take Zheng Hao there. Fortunately, he has not yet married, and there is no family in the backyard, so he said while walking: "Seeing that it is winter, and now everything is withering, where is there any beautiful scenery?" ”
Ma Zhanguo and Ding Ke had no intention of enjoying the scenery, and were anxious to interrogate Fu Ke again, so they left under the pretext of excuse. Xu Heguang was in a dilemma, hesitated, but still wanted to hear what Zheng Hao wanted to say to Xia Xiang, so he stayed.
It is said that Xia Xianglai must have been coming and going for a while, coming and going in the backyard countless times, but he has not paid careful attention to the scenery in the backyard. Today, he was forcibly pulled by Zheng Hao, and after a closer look, he secretly said that he was ashamed, such a scenery was turned blind to him, and there was no scenery around him, which was a mistake that both emperors, generals, and ordinary people were prone to make throughout the ages.
Although it is late autumn, there is still no lack of greenery in the backyard. The scattered trees and shrubs, the chic and ingenuity of the distant mountains and rivers, as well as the open space in the southeast corner and the flower beds in the northwest corner, all have their own vitality and interest.
Zheng Hao's childlike heart was full of joy, and he climbed a dirt mountain in the middle of the backyard with great joy. The mountain is not big, there is a pavilion on the mountain, called Liuyu Pavilion, take the meaning of Qushui Liuzhen. Put the wine in the stream, float down from the upstream, pass through the winding stream, and whoever spins or stops in front of the wine has to improvise poems and drink.
Xia Xiang had actually seen it a long time ago, Zheng Hao seemed to be bent on enjoying the scenery and was quite interested, but in fact, he still had something to say to him. He didn't pick out the points, and continued to accompany Zheng Hao to climb high and look far away and enjoy the autumn.
Zheng Hao stood with his hands in his hands, let the autumn wind blow his clothes, he was nostalgic for the past: "On the third day of the third month of March in the ninth year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Xizhi and his relatives and friends Xie An, Sun Sui and other forty-two people gathered in the Lanting of Ji Shanyin, and after repairing the sacrificial ceremony, the game of flowing water was held, and the forty-two people drank and sang poems, and the poems formed the "Lanting Collection", and Wang Xizhi made the "Lanting Collection Preface" for the collection. Since then, the flow of the water, the poetry papers, the drinking and enjoying the scenery, after thousands of years and the prosperity of the ......"
The allusion of Lanting Collection, everyone knows, Zheng Hao did not intend to show off his knowledge, but to lead to the following, he turned around and smiled: "Xia Xianzun, until March 3 next year, we will also hold a game of flowing water, okay?" ”
"Okay." Xia Xiang nodded in response, "There are five months left on March 3, less than half a year, and today I will make an appointment for half a year." ”
"I hope that in half a year, we can meet here." Zheng Hao suddenly sighed, and looked lonely, "The cold winter is coming, this year's winter will be long and cold, and I don't know who will freeze to death among us, and I can't wait for next year's spring flowers to bloom." ”
Xu Heguang heard what Zheng Hao said, and couldn't help but ask: "Why did Zheng Tong say this?" Since the founding of the Great Xia, Chengping has been peaceful for many years, even in the poorest and most remote places, there are few things that have frozen to death, not to mention the rich Central Plains county Zhending, not to mention that in addition to the main money, we also have clothing, Lu Su, tea and wine kitchen materials, charcoal, salt, retinue clothing and food, horses and corn, additional expenses, job money, minister money and rewards, etc., just charcoal is enough for the fire. ”
Zheng Hao is words are there, Xu Heguang is pretending to be stupid, Zheng Hao smiled disapprerovingly: "What the official said about freezing to death is not that the weather is cold, but that people's hearts are cold." ”
Xu Heguang blinked and smiled: "If you freeze yourself to death, there is no way, no one can save a person who wants to die, right?" ”
Zheng Hao turned his head in disgust, and no longer paid attention to Xu Heguang: "Xia Xianzun, how is the trial of Dong Xian's murder case?" Is there a difficulty? If you have any difficulties, just tell the official, and the official will help you. Not to mention that all official documents in Zhending Mansion must be signed by the official before they can be executed, even Zheng Shan, the criminal officer on Hebei West Road, can also speak. ”
Xu Heguang was not very comfortable in his heart, and said in a strange manner: "Zheng Tong's judgment is indeed good, no matter what Cui Fuzun does, he has to be nodded by Zheng Tongju." ”
"Cui Fuzun's eating, dressing and going to the toilet are not under the control of this official." Zheng Hao laughed, "By the way, Cui Fuzun doesn't need to sign a concubine to marry a wife." ”
"You ......" Xu Heguang's anger was almost out of control, but fortunately, as soon as the cold wind blew, he was a little more sober, in terms of official position and life experience, he couldn't compare to Zheng Hao, even if he won the battle of tongues, what was the use, he smiled, "Zheng Tong is young and promising, and he is from a Jinshi background, if he can marry four more women with surnames and compile the history of the country, the four glorious things are gathered in one, and he is the best among people." ”
Zheng Hao snorted: "In addition to the fact that it is impossible for this official to compile the history of the country, the other three things are as easy as a breeze. It's Xu Xiancheng, I'm afraid that I can't get it even if it's a glorious thing. Haha, when you are reborn into a good family in the next life, you will be smarter, and you may be able to be admitted to the Jinshi at a young age. ”
Xu Heguang's face was so angry that his face was pale, not being a Jinshi was his biggest sore point, and he was exposed by Zheng Hao in public, and the anger in his heart suddenly ignited: "Zheng Tongju, don't deceive people too much!" ”
Xia Xiangcai wouldn't let the two quarrel in his backyard, so he hurriedly came forward and laughed: "Jokes are just jokes, don't take them seriously." Dong Xian's murder case, the trial is quite smooth, there are no difficulties at present, if there is, I will report to Cui Fuzun and Zheng Tong. ”
Seeing that Xia Xiang still carried Cui Fuzun out and put it in front, Xu Heguang's mood was a little relieved, but he still glared at Zheng Hao secretly, and thought indignantly, don't be too arrogant, don't think that you can suppress Cui Fuzun by lifting out the criminal officer Zheng Shan. In the case of Dong Xian's murder, Xia Xianzun only has the right to hear the case, but does not have the right to make a judgment.
The punishment of responsibility, Xia Xianzun can be decided in a word. The death penalty must be approved by the prefect and then reported to the Criminal Division for approval. After the criminal department approves it, it will be reported to Dali Temple for review, and there will be no problem with the review of Dali Temple, and it will finally go to the Criminal Department. The death penalty will only be carried out after the Ministry of Criminal Justice has approved it.
In contrast, the power of the Criminal Division is greater than that of Dali Temple. Generally speaking, most of the cases approved by the Criminal Division have no possibility of being overturned.
A faint look of disappointment flashed in Zheng Hao's eyes, and despite Xu Heguang beside him, he still said it: "Xia Xianzun doesn't have to care about Cui Fuzun's thoughts in everything, just do your duty." When there is a difficulty, there is an official to ensure that you are fine. No matter how bad it is, is there still Zheng Tixing? This official heard about the matter of Shile County, Zhuang Feifei is a key witness? ”
Zheng Hao has to intervene in Dong Xian's murder case, Xia Xiang hesitated slightly, Zheng Hao, as a general judge, has the power to check and balance and supervise the prefect, but Zheng Hao is too angry, and his actions are too extreme, maybe sometimes being too eager to achieve results will be bad.
However, Zheng Hao is also a good intention, Zheng Shan, as a criminal officer on Hebei West Road, in addition to mentioning all the criminal cases on Hebei West Road, also has the duty of supervising the forbidden army stationed in Zhending Mansion, and he can't refuse people thousands of miles away, Xia Xiang nodded and smiled: "If there is any difficulty, you should report to Zheng Tong." Zheng Ti's name is also heard of by the official, and he has always admired Zheng Ti's punishment as a god, and if he is fated to see it, he should ask Zheng Ti for advice. Zhuang Feifei is one of the witnesses, whether it is the key depends on the progress of the interrogation of the department......"
"Fu Ke is so fearless, he refuses to explain many things, for fear that someone behind him will support him......" Zheng Hao said while glancing at Xu Heguang, "Even if Fu Ke is a scoundrel who is not afraid of death, there are always other shortcomings, as long as you find his shortcomings, you are not afraid that he will not speak." ”
Xu Heguang twisted his head to the side, ignoring Zheng Hao's bright knocks, his left ear went in and out of his right ear, his official was not as big as Zheng Hao, and his momentum was not as strong as Zheng Hao.
The earth mountain in the backyard of the county government, Xu Heguang has been to it many times, although the earth mountain is not high, standing under the earth mountain, you can overlook the entire Zhending City. Not only the government is in full view, but even the banks of the Hutuo River and the Zilong Bridge are also unobstructed. He had climbed Tushan many times before, and on several occasions he half-jokingly and half-seriously told Hao Haiji that this mountain was higher than the government and should be bulldozed. Hao Haiji said that if the official does not repair the government, he will not build a large number of buildings to repair the county government.
Xu Heguang's gaze swept around the banks of the Hutuo River at will, not deliberately looking at anything, but just not wanting to listen to Zheng Hao and not wanting to look at Zheng Hao. Eyes crossed the Hutuo River, and fell on the opposite side of the government, and suddenly felt that the highest Denggui Tower in the government is actually higher than the county government's dirt mountain, and it is in the north, the north has always been the direction of power, faintly forming a majestic trend to the county government.
What can Xia Xiang do even if he tries his best to clear the case of Fu Ke? Isn't it going to be submitted to the Zhending Mansion for final trial? Xu Heguang's psychology was a little more balanced, thinking that Xia Xiang and Zheng Hao were just wasting their efforts, and Xia Xiang's authority was nothing more than submitting all the human evidence, physical evidence and confessions to Cui Fuzun.
Did Xia Xiang really not know that Cui Fuzun could let all his previous efforts go to waste, or was he lucky, thinking that he could really do whatever he wanted, a small magistrate? The more Xu Heguang thought about it, the more he felt pity for Xia Xiang, and glanced at Xia Xiang, showing disdain.
Suddenly, the afterglow of his eyes seemed to have found something, Xu Heguang turned around and looked, on the Zilong Bridge, I don't know when there were several more people, two of them were riding on horses, looking left and right, majestic, dressed in a refined dress, although it was not an official uniform, but it was quite magnanimous between the gestures.
Xu Heguang doesn't know the two, although they are far away and can't see their looks clearly, they can still guess that the two of them are absolutely very different, could it be that they are from the capital?
What Xu Heguang didn't notice was that Xiao Wu, who was beside him, also noticed the two of them, who was originally lazy and lazy, like a leopard that had found its prey, tense all over, staring at the two people on the hair bridge.
Xia Xiang also noticed Xiao Wu's abnormality, followed Xiao Wu's gaze towards the bridge, only glanced at it and was stunned, how could it be them? Zheng Hao and Lu Zhiyue couldn't suppress their curiosity, and looked at the bridge at the same time......
Zheng Hao's face changed slightly: "The people of the third prince are here!" ”
Lu Zhiyue's gaze directly crossed the two of them on the horse, and stayed on a carriage not far behind the two, showing a slight look of surprise: "What is the person of the third prince, it is obvious that even the lady is back." ”
Xia Xiang was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed from the majestic Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao, and he looked behind, and sure enough, a gorgeous carriage was slowly coming. He was both surprised and happy in his heart, and what surprised him was that Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao were here, afraid that they were shouldering a major mission. Happily, Lian Ruohan didn't come early or late, why did he come back with Gao Jianyuan and Yan Hao?
Thinking about it again, Xia Xiang's heart was full again, so many important people gathered in Zhending, Zhending is afraid that it is really going to be turbulent!
