Chapter 206: Accepting Bribes
Let him investigate the case? Still fully supportive? Zhuangzi thinks it's funny!
He just wanted to find out who this man in black was, whether it was a Taoist protector? If it was a Taoist protector, it happened that the two sides cooperated to kill the other six great evildoers in Qiyuan Town.
When he came out of the town office, the mayor arranged a fast horse and a few officials for him to quickly investigate the case. He rode back to his "home" and said hello to the seller.
This time I went to investigate the case, I don't know when I will come back, and I have to explain it to the seller. Since he promised to take in others, and promised others to be his sister, he will be responsible, and he will be like his brother.
"What? The great villain Nishiya Bai died? â
Hearing that Nishiya Bai died, Mai'er couldn't believe it at first. Then! Jumped up with joy and clapped your hands!
"That's great! That's great! Brother Zhuang! There is one less big bully in this place of Qiyuan! Brother Zhuang! â
But when he heard that Brother Zhuang was going to investigate the murderer, he pulled his face down on the spot.
"Brother Zhuang? The bad guy was killed and also investigated? Wouldn't it be better if the bad guys died? What else are you looking for? â
Mai'er hugged Zhuangzi's arm and shook it and said, "Brother Zhuang! If you just go to check, you'll be perfunctory, don't take it seriously! Brother Zhuang! Nishitani Bai is a big villain! Brother Zhuang! Woooooo â
Mai'er cried and whispered: "Mai'er was almost ruined by their father and son back then!" Woooooo Brother Zhuang! Please, perfunctory, don't take it seriously! Woo woo woo ...... "ĐŊÊi ĐŖÄĐŋ GÃĒ latest chapter has been updated
Oh? And what's going on? Zhuangzi was stunned. But! He couldn't tell the truth to Mai'er, so he had to pretend to be serious and said, "Sister Mai'er! I'm an official! Townsman! It is specially responsible for investigating, handling, and adjudicating cases! Where can I be irresponsible? Sell your sister! I'm telling you! Bad guys are people, too! Whether the bad guy is dead or the good guy is dead, we have to check! Law enforcement officers must handle cases in accordance with the law......"
"Brother Zhuang! Does the law protect the wicked? â
"Reasonable! Whatever can be solved by the laws of the state, the people are not allowed to take revenge in private! Otherwise? Is it still lawless? Damn the bad guys, but! It must be tried by the Ministry of National Justice! Otherwise? What's the use of wanting a state? â
Seeing Zhuangzi's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, Mai'er cried and muttered quietly: "If the laws of the Song Kingdom still work, where are there wicked people in this world?" â
"There are family rules in the family, and the country has national laws, where can there be lawlessness?" Zhuangzi pretended to be serious and did not recognize the six relatives, came out of the house, rode on a horse, and took Zhang Shan and several other officials to Xigukou.
The seller didn't understand and stood at the door crying. Seeing that Zhuangzi was far away and out of sight, he returned to the courtyard, plugged in the door bolt, and returned to the hall. Thinking of being bullied by Nishitani Baibailiang's father and son in the past, she cried loudly.
The news of the killing of the Nishitani Bai family soon spread throughout Qiyuan Town. Most people heard that Nishitani Bai, a great villain, had been killed, and they clapped their hands behind their backs.
But? When they heard that Zhuangzi was in charge of investigating the case, they all stayed away from Zhuangzi. One by one, like a seller, he didn't understand Zhuangzi and blamed him for not taking over the case. Isn't it just that a bad guy died, and the bad guy died when he died, and what murderer was investigated?
If a bad guy dies, he will be held accountable for the sins of his killers, then! Who else will dare to kill the bad guys in the future? This, this, this? Isn't that tantamount to helping the bad guys? Let the bad guys continue to be bad? Isn't this aiding and abetting?
At noon, when I rested and ate on the road, at the beginning, the people of Qiyuan still warmly received Zhuangzi. But when I heard that Zhuangzi was going to investigate the case and speak for the bad guys, he walked away one by one.
"I'm still in business! Take care of Zhuangzi! â
"He's Zhuangzi! Zhuangzi is kind to us! Let's not forget Grace! Take care of yourselves! I have something to do, so I'll go first. â
"I'm okay too! I'm gone, too! â
"I'm sorry Zhuangzi! I'm gone, too! â
In a few moments, all the people who had gathered around to see him walked away.
Seeing that the people of Qiyuan were so realistic, Zhuangzi shook his head with a wry smile in his heart.
Alas! O human heart! It is the human heart that cannot be disguised! The people have a stalk scale in their hearts, and whether this world is good or not, they know it in their hearts!
Seeing that the people of Qiyuan didn't want to see him, Zhuangzi and the others hastily ate dry food and went on the road again. When they arrived at Xigukou, the people of Qiyuan did not welcome them warmly, but the family, relatives and doglegs of Xigu Baibai received them warmly. He came to greet him from afar, and when they met, they also stuffed Zhuangzi and others with a bag of silver each.
Zhuangzi was not polite and accepted it very calmly.
He weighed it, and there were at least a dozen taels.
Nima Di! It is said that it is good to be an official! That's how good it is to be an official! Hey! Go back today and hand over the silver to the seller, and the housekeeper will have the money to manage.
Yes! My sister has grown so big, I'm afraid I haven't seen so much silver, right?
Hey! Crazy about her! With a dozen taels of silver in her hands, she must be able to do a lot of things. The two of them can buy a few new sets of clothes, and they can also buy rouge powder for women. My Zhuangzi's sister, the sister of the town official, and the people in the official family, naturally have to follow the customs of the countryside and dress up.
The officials who carried them with them, when they saw that there was a red envelope, naturally accepted it unceremoniously. On the way here, they were also worried about whether they would give money to the errand family who came to Zhuangzi this time! Didn't expect it! This Xigu white and white rich family is rich, and he is generous. For a new town official, they are not ambiguous in giving red envelopes!
Zhang Shan took the silver and looked at Zhuangzi and didn't dare to accept it. Seeing that Zhuangzi calmly accepted it, he also accepted it. If in the past, he was like other officials, I am afraid that there would be no such good things. But since listening to Zhuangzi's preaching, he has changed.
But? Anyone who has been in the government for a long time knows that in this case, you will generally accept a bribe from others. If you don't take it, they'll suspect you of not doing things for them. You want to be honest and honest, and others suspect you of fucking up. If you don't accept their bribes, they may come and harm you.
After entering the Bai Mansion, Zhuangzi and the others did not immediately go to investigate the case, but were taken to eat by the people of the Bai family. Bai Liang's grandson, the lucky one, a little boy who looked like thirteen or fourteen years old, came out wearing linen and filial piety and knelt down to worship Zhuangzi and other officials. After some formalistic etiquette procedures, a piece of jade was given to Zhuangzi. Zhang Shan and other officials also received different gifts.
When Zhuangzi saw that he was eating first, he immediately came over and said, "Don't be in a hurry to eat first!" It's not etiquette! Let's take us to worship the white rich man first. Take me to the scene again! Investigation is important! Investigation is important! â
When the people of the Bai family saw that Zhuangzi was serious, they had no choice but to take Zhuangzi and others to worship the deceased first.
After paying homage to the deceased, the rich man and others, Zhuangzi asked to go to the scene to check.
When I arrived at the scene, I first checked it out. After figuring out the basic situation, when he came outside, Zhuangzi flashed onto the roof and followed the direction of the man in black to escape. After a while, he returned.
Jumping down from the roof, he said to everyone, "This man in black is wounded, probably from an arrow!" Right now! Your Bai family sent someone to secretly visit you! He's injured and must be healed......"
