The influence of the Zhen family in Hengzhou is not something to be said casually, even officials like Wen County Commander have to visit in person when they take office, which has become something that everyone must do before the county order takes office, otherwise they will not be able to gain a firm foothold in the county at all.

After the incident of Zhen Qian, Wen County Ling felt the pressure from all sides, and the officials below also disobeyed his orders, which made Wen County Ling unhappy, but he was helpless.

"Sit! Serve tea! ”

Wen Xianling's puzzled gaze swept over Zhen Qian's face, and he didn't know what he was doing today, so he pulled it up.

Zhen Qian's heart was not in a hurry, and he kept thanking Wen County Ling for his fair judgment, and he came here today to thank Wen County Ling, and the suspicion on Wen County's face was thick, but Zhen Qian did not come empty-handed this time, in order to express his gratitude, he brought a lot of gifts, and Wen Xianling was suspicious in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of medicine Zhen Qian's gourd was selling.

"When Zhen Lang went to Beijing to take the exam, the official still practiced for you Hengzhou talents, I don't know if Zhen Lang still has an impression?"

"Ghost impressions!" Zhen Qian thought in his heart, if he still remembered another Zhen Qian's matter, would he still be so passive in the Zhen Mansion? Seeing that the topic was too far away, and he was about to lose his control, he immediately said: "Today is to thank Wen Ming Mansion for handling the case impartially, and after the small people recover another day, please have a banquet in Wen Ming Mansion!" ”

"Good! Then Zhen Lang will go back and rest first! ”

What the two sides said was a scene, and they didn't involve anything at all, but it made Wen Xian Ling feel a little uneasy in his heart, and he didn't believe that Zhen Qian would kick the Three Treasures Hall without anything.

"Then the little people say goodbye!"

Wen Xian Ling opened his mouth and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, could it be that he was suspicious? "Walk slowly!"

Zhen Qian arched his hand towards Wen County's order, "Wen Ming Mansion, please stay", his eyes swept over the official document on the table, and suddenly said: "Xiaomin suddenly remembered something, I don't know if I can say it?" ”

Wen Xian Ling smiled in his heart, the other party was still too young, and finally couldn't help it, so he smiled and said, "Zhen Lang has something to say, please say?" ”

"That's the ......", Zhen Qian's face was a little embarrassed: "Xiaomin can be regarded as an official now, but he doesn't know anything about what happened in the court, I don't know if Wenming Mansion can lend me the newspaper of the county government?" ”

"So it's for this?" Wen Xian Ling smiled secretly in his heart, and thought it was a big deal, if Zhen Qian was a small citizen of Shengdou, he could refuse it in one bite, but Zhen Qian has an official body and is the eldest son of the Zhen family, so it is okay to lend him the imperial court's palace newspaper to read, "Haha, it turned out to be this matter, I don't know how long Zhen Lang wants to borrow the palace newspaper?" ”

"I wonder if I can borrow it from the newspaper ten years ago?"

"What a decade!" Wen Xian Ling was taken aback by Zhen Qian, but after thinking about it, since he had agreed just now, when did he want to look at it as his own business, and he didn't seem to need to worry about him, "It's okay!" I asked the official to take you to the treasury to borrow it, but you must not lose or damage it, if Zhen Lang wants to keep it, you can have someone copy it! ”

"I've thanked Wen Ming Mansion in advance!" After saying that, Zhen Qian didn't have the slightest intention of leaving immediately, but his face was cloudy, as if he was struggling with something in his heart, and he wanted to stop talking, like a constipated person.

"Zhen Lang, is there anything else?"

Zhen Qian's expression became a little hesitant, and he opened his mouth and said: "Wenming Mansion is known as the Lord Wenqingtian by the people in Zhending City, when the official Qingming enforces the law impartially, he is upright, and he does not dare to speak out for the powerful, and the people praise him in private, presumably Wenming Mansion has already heard of this!" ”

Wen County Ling's mouth was bitter and I didn't know what to say, if I hadn't heard it, wouldn't it mean that Zhen Qian's words were a bit unworthy of the name, and he was not a clean official, which was more uncomfortable for Wen County Ling, who had always liked to save face, than scolding him for being a corrupt official, but if he admitted it, it was a little against his will, and he didn't know whether to admit it or not for a while.

Fortunately, Zhen Qian did not make Wen Xian Ling too embarrassed, sighed lightly and continued: "Wen Ming Mansion is also an honest and honest image in the hearts of the small people, today when I occasionally pass by the market, I heard some people talking about Wen Ming Mansion, and I thought it was praising Wen Ming Mansion, who knew that I was insulting Wen Ming Mansion for being an official and being confused, and I didn't ask for the reason for ignoring people's lives, and I immediately argued with them, who knew that after listening to the words of these people, I was also speechless and speechless, thinking of arguing with them for a few words, But I don't know how to open my mouth and teach me to be indignant ......."

Wen Xianling's face was displeased when he heard this, and he said angrily: "The words of the ignorant people can also be believed, and the officials of the DPRK and China should be punished with the cane of the thirty boards!" ”

Zhen Qian echoed on the side: "Yes! Wenming Mansion is a herdsman official of the imperial court, how can these people comment on the gains and losses, but if such a comment reaches the ears of the assassin, it will be a great disadvantage to Wenming Mansion! ”

Wen Xian Ling was obviously angry by Zhen Qian's words, and just wanted to let the officials arrest people, but after thinking about it, this kind of thing is groundless, and it is not easy to take Zhen Qian's words seriously, who knows if it is a conspiracy of the Zhen family.

Thinking of this, Wen County Ling suppressed the anger in his heart a little and said, "What are these people commenting on this official? ”

Seeing that the county order had been hooked, Zhen Gan said with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Wen Ming Mansion didn't know, at that time I was also suspicious, thinking that someone was secretly slandering Wen Ming Mansion's reputation, so I asked them where they heard it, these people said that Wen Ming Mansion was trying Song Yi's case, knowing that Song Yi was wronged, but sentenced Song Yi to death, I don't know whether it was right or wrong, it must have accepted the benefits of the plaintiff, so Song Yi was sentenced to death!" ”

When Wen Xian Ling heard that it was Song Yi's case, his face became cold, he was not biased in Song Yi's case, and naturally he would not be afraid of other people's rumors and slander.

"What is the evaluation of this matter in the market, let's hear it?"

"I heard them comment on Song Yi's case, and at first they were also upset about Wen Mingfu, but they said that the deceased and other people dined in Song Yi's restaurant, why did only the deceased have an accident, if it was really Song Yi who poisoned or mistakenly let the poisonous food be eaten by the guests, why is everyone else fine, isn't this matter obvious with lice on the bald head?"

Zhen Qian observed his words and expressions as he spoke, and saw that the county commander's face became cloudy, and he knew that his words had touched his weakness, so he continued to add a fire: "Song Yi and the deceased have never known each other, both sides admit that there is no grudge, but the thing of eating the dead happened, I also feel a little strange, I always can't figure it out after thinking about it, but I can also conclude that there is absolutely no problem with the food in Song Yi's restaurant, so it means that the deceased must have eaten other food after leaving Song Yi's restaurant, caused accidental death ......".

Hearing that the county order has been an official for more than ten years, he understands some things better than Zhen Qian, and naturally knows that what Zhen Qian said is true, and snorted coldly at the moment: "What do ignorant Xiaomin know, Song Yi has already admitted that the deceased had eaten in his restaurant, and the deceased went straight home after leaving Song Yi's restaurant, unless he ...... at home."

As he spoke, he stopped talking about Wen County's order, looked at Zhen Qian with a slight suspicion in his eyes, and suddenly felt shocked in his heart, and secretly scolded that he had unknowingly fallen into the trap of the other party.

When the Song Yi murder case was tried at the beginning, Wen County Decree did not think of this layer, but the deceased's family vigorously denied it, and because there was no evidence, they could only put all the blame on Song Yi's body, but he didn't expect that Zhen Qian would put out the words in his heart today, and he couldn't ride the tiger and said: "Song Yi can't come up with evidence to prove that he didn't kill anyone, and the deceased did eat in Song Yi's restaurant, and it was proved that it was because of the food that caused the death of the deceased, is this still wrong?" ”

Seeing that the county order was unwilling to admit it, Zhen Qian also knew that he couldn't force the county order, a person like this who wanted to save face and suffer from crimes, once he tore his face, even if the truth was in front of him, I was afraid that in the end, he would turn a blind eye and not save Song Yi, but would be annoyed and angry and affect Song Yi's whole family.

Zhen Qian laughed and said: "Wenming Mansion is fair and honest, naturally it is discerning, but the family of the deceased is too cunning, and it is really hateful to want to trap Wenming Mansion in injustice, but the legal net is restored and not leaked, how can a cunning fox escape the eyes of Wenming Mansion, I heard that the deceased ate mutton and Hu cakes in Song Yi's restaurant, if other food is found in the deceased's body, wouldn't it be said that the death of the deceased has nothing to do with Song Yi?" ”

Wen Xian Ling knew these investigation methods, but he didn't expect that there would be this layer, and he frowned slightly at the moment: "Are you saying that the deceased ate poisonous food after returning home, and the food is still in the deceased's body?" ”

What Zhen Qian has to do is just to guide Wen County's order, this kind of thing can only be said by himself, from other people's mouths, not only does it have no effect, but it will make him ugly, and in the end, it can only be for the sake of Gu Zongzi to make mistakes on top of mistakes.

"Xiaomin is just guessing, Wen Ming Mansion is clear, human life is at stake, and you have to be cautious!"

"Spread the word!"

Hearing the good face of the county order, he naturally hates the deception of others the most, and the thought that he may have been tricked by the family of the deceased not only affects his reputation, but also is regarded as a laughing stock, and he can't wait to swallow the deceased's whole family alive.

Not long after, a man in a soap coat walked in, and he didn't know what he was doing with Wen County Ling, this man was the servant of the county government, and he had met Zhen Qian several times before, but he had not talked about the gap in identity.

"This official asks you, is there any other food in the body of the deceased in Song Yi's case besides mutton and Hu cake?"

Seeing Zhen Qian looking at him with a smile, the cold sweat on his forehead broke out, and when he thought of the Zhen family's intervention in this case, he was even more frightened, and immediately said what he said to Wang You yesterday.

Wen County Ling was furious when he heard the case: "Bastard, why didn't you say such an important thing earlier, do you want the official to ask you personally!" ”
