Three days, one hundred and fifty-seven cases. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Such efficiency, such rumors, and Yu Liang's intentional or unintentional momentum before made him feel that it was difficult to ride a tiger.
Yes, the rumors of Chen Zhi's case, the reason why he can wear it so quickly and so widely, is that it is he Yu Liang who is behind the scenes.
Yu Liang's purpose is also very simple, through Chen Zhi to deter the whole of Pengcheng, it is best to take it for his own use, and then grasp the leading power, and the credit will overshadow the official Zhang Ruo and achieve a late victory.
But there was a problem in the middle.
"Chen Zhizhen has completed the judgment of more than 150 cases? And it only took three days," Yu Liang is very clear about the role of people's hearts, "I let people promote rumors, just to compare, let others see my case, and then use his Chen Zhi's low style to make a comparison, but there is no result on my side, Chen Zhi has spread such a big rumor, isn't this lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot?" ”
The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, especially when he heard that person's report for a long time, all of which were inconsequential trivial matters, the dissatisfaction in Yu Liang's heart finally broke out: "These thieves, it is estimated that they still have no fear, what kind of information are they talking about?" Do I care where the so-called remnants are hiding? What I want to know is the real motive for this attack on Zhuge Yan, and he Wang Mi came to Zhuge Yan for no reason? ”
His subordinate hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Yu Shi is angry, we are also investigating, and I believe that the result will be available soon." ”
"That's what you said yesterday," Yu Liang stood up, pacing back and forth a little anxiously, thinking about countermeasures, and finally nodded violently, "Heavy punishment!" Punish those thieves, don't have any worries, anyway, it's a rebellion, if you still protect Wang Mi and don't want to confide the truth, then send them directly to see Wang Mi! ”
The subordinates' expressions changed slightly, but looking at Yu Liang's expression, they didn't dare to refute and nodded in response.
On the second day, the thieves were held in their cells screaming and greeting, both newly captured and those who had been trapped in prison before.
Before the special envoy came, the local government did not dare to use excessive punishment, fearing that once someone died, the matter would not end well, but Yu Liang did not have this scruple and killed the person, as long as he did not die, or there was a result, no one would pursue him.
It's just that after a morning of interrogation, there is still no result, and this group of thieves either really don't know, to put it mildly, they are all rebels, or they are hard-mouthed to the end, even if they are tortured to death, they still don't confide in them.
After a busy time, Yu Liang became more and more upset.
When his subordinate saw it, he came over to comfort him and said: "Yushi, in fact, it's not nothing, at least we can see that this Wang Mi's trip is definitely not a temporary intention, there must be someone behind the instructions, and this group of thieves is not monolithic, it must be divided into two parts!" ”
"Do you need to remind you of this?" Yu Liang's tone was not good, but he also knew that his subordinates were kind, so he didn't blame him too much, but as he walked, he listened to the conversation between the two cell heads not far away, and he could faintly hear what the son of the Chen family had already asked, knowing that the thief belonged to two groups, but he didn't expect the envoy of the imperial court to find out for so long.
The voice of this statement is very clear, but the prison pays attention to feng shui and ventilation, the two of them stood at the tuyere, and the voice came intermittently, just so that Yu Liang and his subordinates heard it, and this look was immediately wrong, but neither of them asked for details.
It's just that after leaving the prison, Yu Liang recruited several local officials one after another, and noticed that the expressions of several people looking at him had changed slightly.
As soon as a few people left, Yu Liang thought about it and ordered: "Go and inquire, how is the progress of Chen Zhi's side?" ”
He knew very well that as soon as the rumor came out yesterday, Chen Zhi was officially fighting with him, and no one would feel that Chen Zhi's style was low anymore, because the efficiency of handling the case could already ignore these factors.
Although he was already prepared, when Chen Zhi's news really came, Yu Liang couldn't help but take a breath.
"Have you started to get involved in the county government case?"
It turned out that according to the feedback of the news, Chen Zhi actually began to formally contact the county government file in the name of a co-organizer.
"Yang Yong was able to allow it? Doesn't it mean that the county prison is full and can't hold people anymore? ”
Yu Liang couldn't help muttering, but he also understood that it was difficult for the latter to refuse to pressure Yang Yong with Chen Zhi's prestige, not to mention that there were more than 100 cases in three days, which proved Chen Zhi's ability, and suddenly pushed him to the same position as the grandmaster of the case, with this momentum, it was a matter of course that his influence infiltrated the county government.
But in this way, the competition between the two is even more obvious.
Sure enough, after a day, Chen Zhi cracked thirteen more cases in the county government, and the news spread in the city, causing many scholars to discuss, and he faintly compared it with Yu Liang.
In contrast, Yu Liang sits in the name of the imperial court, has many helpers, and has the majesty of the local government's retreat, but in addition to catching a few thieves who have slipped through the net, there is no progress in this case, and the difference between high and low has gradually bred in people's hearts.
The more this is the case, the more anxious Yu Liang becomes, which is directly reflected in his behavior, that is, the more he urges, the more he urges, the interrogation of the thief, even the subordinates who are in charge are a little unbearable, and it is true that there are not too many useful things to be tried.
So, a subordinate privately suggested: "Yushi, otherwise, let's just find a reason, convict first, and then then let's make progress in the case." ”
When Yu Liang heard this, he narrowed his eyes: "Why are you letting this official deceive?" Or do I feel like I can't find the crux of the case? The gloomy tone in that sentence made the subordinates suddenly startled and quickly confessed.
Yu Liang was not responsible, but his face became more and more gloomy, and suddenly, he suddenly shook his head.
"I'm a little too anxious this time, and now it's tantamount to revealing a flaw to Zhang Ruo."
At the same time, Zhang Ruo, the special envoy who was talked about by Yu Liang, sat in the room, and after listening to the report of his adjutant, he suddenly said: "We have been in Pengcheng for a while, and I have a certain understanding of the case, so it is time to understand the situation in detail." ”
When the adjutant heard this, he was a little surprised at first, and then he became happy.
This official of his, who is nominally the chief official of the special envoy, can set off from the capital and arrive in Pengcheng all the way, only to see that the people of Yu Liang's family are arrogant, but their official family has fallen silent.
Now, Zhang Ruo has finally moved, and according to the adjutant's understanding of Zhang Ruo, as long as this person decides, the rest will definitely be planned.
"Please give the order."
Zhang Ruo nodded and said: "This case involves a lot, and we are new to the situation, we don't know enough about the situation, especially Yu Yushi's search in the past few days, and we haven't gained much, so it can be seen that the case is complicated, so we need someone who understands the situation to help." ”
The adjutant heard the sarcasm of Yu Liang at first, but when he heard it, his heart moved.
"Huh? Does this mean that you need to find someone to help? ”
Sure enough, Zhang Ruo said next: "That Pengcheng Chen Zhi, I have called him before, he is a person with a degree of advance and retreat, understands the case, and is better at judging the case, he is the most suitable candidate, you pass on my order, and someone asks Chen Zhi to come over, give him the position of the case, invite him to help, remember to be polite when you go, this is not a summons, but to ask him to help." ”
"Yes, my subordinates will go and ask for it." The adjutant didn't talk nonsense, he had long been accustomed to Zhang Ruo's style of acting, and immediately carried out the order.
When he left, he didn't go to Chen's house, but to the Scroll Collection Hall, and now the city is full of people, who doesn't know where Chen Zhi is during the day?
Therefore, as soon as he came, the news naturally spread, especially Chen Zhi seemed to have expected it, as soon as the person came, he explained his intention, he even saved the link of modesty, and immediately followed the adjutant to see Zhang Ruo, looking anxious to handle the case.
And when Chen Zhi arrived at the place and met Zhang Ruo, these two people didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.
"Mr. Chen, I think you have already guessed the purpose of inviting you over this time," Zhang Ruo just asked people to set up a seat and boil tea, "I don't know if your Excellency has any advice for this case?" ”
Chen Zhi said with a smile: "I don't dare to give advice, but I also heard the news that Yu Yushi searched for thieves and interrogated criminals." ”
Zhang Ruo nodded, and asked again: "Then can this law be decided?" ”
Chen Zhi shook his head and said, "The starting point is good, but the direction is wrong." ”
This detail, more than an hour later, reached Yu Liang's ears, and immediately made the servant sneer: "Saying that I am in the wrong direction, I have a good tone, this Chen Zhi really thinks that if Zhang treats him politely, he will be able to sit on an equal footing with me?" Don't look at his own grade, even if he can order it, it's only five grades, he thinks he has broken a few cases, and he dares to comment on me? ”
After venting, Yu Liang suddenly changed his words: "After this Chen Zhi passed, what did he say to Zhang Ruo?" He originally intended to use Chen Zhi to hit Zhang Ruo, but he didn't expect to end up in competition with Chen Zhi, but now these two thorns in the eye have come together, and he has to be vigilant.
The person who reported said: "After Ting Wei met Chen Zhi, he announced that he had summoned Zhuge Yan's servants and guards who had left him in Pengcheng, saying that he wanted to know the details of the situation at that time. ”
"So that's the case, I understand why Chen Zhi dared to make a big fuss, saying that I was looking in the wrong direction, it turned out that he meant to look for clues in the sleeping ice building, but unfortunately, this person didn't know, I had already understood the situation that day clearly from the mouths of Tao Ya, Wei Ou and others, and he went to ask the servants, how much difference could it be? Many of those servants were hiding upstairs at the time of the incident, and they didn't see it at all, and they were not as good as Tao Ya and others. ”
After knowing Chen Zhi's plan, Yu Liang temporarily put his mind at ease and was ready to continue to act according to the original plan, after all, in his opinion, he still had an advantage.
Almost at the same time.
In the capital of Luoyang, a fast horse galloped out of the city.
