Zhao Yuanwai's father and son, since they were escorted to the Qiantang County Ya, have been unable to get in touch with the outside world, but they have not been put in prison, but live in the Yin Hotel.

It's just that any fool can see that they are now under house arrest.

Although it was Xu Jie who detained people and returned to the government, if he said that he did not communicate with Wang Zhixian, it would obviously be difficult to do so. Without the permission of the chief seal officer, how could the third class of the county government have so much power to detain a grain chief?

Wang Zhixian's reason for detaining people was naturally to wait for interrogation, but he also knew very well in his heart that this was fundamentally due to Li Qian's design------ that is to say, it was difficult for Zhao Liangchang's murder charge to be confirmed, unless he wanted to bend into a trick.

Plans are always unable to keep up with changes, and it is clear that things are now far beyond their expectations, and no one knows what will turn out in the end------

In general, Li Qian's original intention was not to cause the Zhao family to die, so there will not be any so-called human and material evidence, which makes it difficult for the prisoner to overturn the case.

Just like the case of the Zhao family falsely accusing him of being cheap, both sides have not gone through a very careful layout, but only through such a means to attack the opponent------ the grudge between them is far from reaching the level of destroying the other party humanely, otherwise there is no need to play any more tricks, wouldn't it be better to spend money to hire some outlaws to assassinate them?

It is precisely because of this that Wang Zhixian will acquiesce to his approach, otherwise how could he still be fooled in?

Therefore, Li Qian's case can be tried, because the crime does not lead to death, but the Zhao family's murder case is not easy to try, and the false murder of him is just to coerce him to compromise.

But what is helpless is that Tao Sheng saw through Li Qian's plan.

At his behest, the Hangzhou government magistrate personally came to the Qiantang County Ya and ordered Wang Zhixian to open a court for interrogation as soon as possible and solve the case within a time limit. The reason is very simple, since you have been caught red-handed to kill and cover the body, then this murder case should not be difficult to trivialize, why is it delayed?

Of course, Wang Zhixian understands that although the magistrate is subordinate to the government office, he actually specializes in criminal names, and in terms of justice, his real boss is not the prefect Yao Chun, but the procurator Tao Sheng!

In other words, his arrival does not represent the government office, but the Yamen.

But what is strange is that the government magistrate just interrogated for a while, and repeatedly told Wang Lun that "human life is a matter of heaven, and this case must be cautious" and something like that, and then patted his ass and left, as if he had no intention of personally interfering in the case.

At first, Wang Zhixian couldn't figure it out, but after Master Xiaorong's guidance, he knew that the other party actually didn't dare to take this hot potato.

The reason is very simple, Li Qian has no back-up is just Tao Sheng's speculation, although this possibility is very high, he does not dare to risk letting his subordinates take over this case after all. Otherwise, once the other party presents human and physical evidence, it is very likely that the case will be ironclad in his own hands------

If this is the case, it will be difficult for him to explain to the capital.

At that time, in order to save some face, it is difficult to say that the Yingguo Mansion will not hold him mainly responsible.

In short, in a word, whoever personally tried and killed the Zhao family members will be unlucky with Li Qian in the future. The dismissal of the official is definitely the lightest punishment, and the right thing to do is to pay for the fate with the life! Of course, it is more likely that the Fu family managed to save Zhao Yuanwai's life in Beijing, and they will not give up until they kill you again with their backhand.

And not long after the magistrate left, the letter in the palace arrived, and then the political envoy also came------

Between several yamen, most of them are not far apart, Wang Lunxin said how idle are your bosses, and you have to send a special document to send someone over to convey it orally?

Not to mention, verbal communication really doesn't work!

Once things change, these things are their life talisman when they are held accountable in the future------

The attitude of the government and the feudal department is basically the same, and the general content of the text is also to ask Wang Zhixian, it is June now, why has the summer tax not been collected for a long time?

The meaning is self-evident, the government cannot personally intervene in the collection of taxes, but now that you have arrested all the grain chiefs of a district pending trial, how can you pay taxes on time? When the court investigates it, who will bear this responsibility?

Wang Zhixian felt bitter for a while, and said in his heart that he still needed to ask, who would I not carry this black pot?

There is an old saying in officialdom that three lives are unfortunate, and the county is attached to Guo; Three lives do evil, attached to the provincial city of Guo; The evil is full of evil, attached to Guo Jingcheng.

The gist is that as the head of a county, the official of his parents should be the emperor of the sky, majestic and majestic, and deter the jurisdiction of a hundred miles, but once you are unlucky, unfortunately in the attached Guo County (the first county) as the magistrate, then there is no prestige, and you have to be supervised by the superior yamen all the time, resulting in almost no power in your hands.

It is uncomfortable enough to attach the city of Guofu, there is a prefect's yamen on it, but if it is attached to the provincial city of Guo, it will be eight lifetimes of blood mold, because in addition to the government office, you also have to be controlled by the three constitutions of the province. As for attaching Guo Jingcheng, then you can only use "hehe" to express helplessness------

Wang Zhixian is very "lucky", and it is a great honor to be one of the first counties in Hangzhou and even Zhejiang Province! As soon as there was a stir, the meaning of the yamen from all sides was conveyed one after another, which made people feel a lot of pressure.

Xu is caused by "three lives and evil------

In the signing room, Wang Zhixian sat behind the bookcase, supporting his head with one hand, rubbing his side temples with his thumb, sighing helplessly from time to time, and then falling into a long silence.

Xiao Rong, who was sitting on the side, wanted to speak several times, and finally couldn't help but call: "Dong Weng ------"

Wang Zhixian's spirit perked up, his waist straightened, his eyes widened and he looked straight at him and said, "Why did Mr. teach me?" ”

"Ahem------ Dongweng is afraid that he has misunderstood, the student just wants to ask what you mean, do you think ------ do you want to open a case today?"

"Which one do you think is better, sir?" At this moment, Wang Zhixian, who was in a hurry to go to the doctor, unconsciously changed his previous name for Rong Rong and began to call him 'Mr.'.

"We don't seem to have a choice for this ------, do we?" Xiao Rong smiled bitterly: "If you go against the will of the above, I'm afraid Dong Weng's future life will not be very easy------"

"So what does Mr. mean, this case, we will try it now?"

Wang Zhixian frowned and thought for a moment, but shook his head again and said, "It's not appropriate!" If Mr. Li is given up today, when the king of Japan and they seize power, who can still offer good advice to the county? This county can see that the king has also exerted their strength in this matter, once they succeed in their treacherous scheme, next, I am afraid that they will start to fight for power with this county! ”

Wang Zhixian can perceive the things, there is no reason why Xiao Rong can't detect it, in fact, the recent Qiantang County Yali can be described as a turbulent dark tide, and the forces of Wang Zhushu and others are already ready to move, ready to seize power again.

It's just that Xiao Rong is also a little helpless about this.

There's no way, a county lord like Wang Lun is too much of a failure to be a man on weekdays!

He didn't stay in the Hangzhou officialdom for a long time, but he was stunned to offend many bosses, and he became such an isolated and helpless situation where his grandmother doesn't hurt and his uncle doesn't love, how easy is it to turn the tables around?

And now, Mr. is in a lawsuit, and Xiao Rongshen certainly hopes to help him, but the attitude of the yamen of all parties cannot be ignored, otherwise it will be difficult for Wang Zhixian to gain a foothold in Hangzhou officialdom in the future------

Since Wang Lun has made his own decision, he can't persuade him more, otherwise he will be a selfish and ungrateful villain. At that moment, he had no choice but to nod and say, "In that case, let's follow Dong Weng's wishes, this case ------ we will not try it today." ”

"Trial! Why not? ”

An old voice appeared outside the door, and the two people in the house followed the prestige, but saw an old Confucian student who was about fifty years old appeared at the door, followed by Zhu Zhendong, the secretary of the household, and a scholar who should be in the age of establishment, thinking that he was either the son of this old Confucian student, or a junior like a nephew.

After the man saw Wang Zhixian sitting behind the case, he immediately bowed his hand and said, "Old Li Jinglun, please meet your old parents." ”

Wang Zhixian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes widened.

------

------

In the Yamen, the interrogation continued.

Xu felt that the stupid girl's confession would not be of much use even if it was really asked, so Tao Sheng changed his mind and directly ordered someone to take her down and let Wen Po check her body.

In fact, the result is the same, Tao Sheng wants to make a stupid confession, just to increase the strength of the case, so as not to be impeached by the imperial history in the future.

About a quarter of an hour later, the results of the examination came out, and the stupid girl was indeed no longer a virgin.

"What ?!!"

Li Qian didn't expect this to be the result at all, and after a slight sign, he suddenly jumped up from the chair, stepped forward with red eyes and grabbed Wen Po, stared at the other party and said fiercely: "Say!" What exactly did you do to her down there?!! ”

Li Qian dared to conclude that such an eight-year-old girl as a stupid girl would never break her body so early. So in his mind, it is very likely that Tao Sheng chose to attack the stupid girl in order to confirm his crimes------

The old lady was caught by him, and when she faced his expression as if she was about to tear herself apart, and those cold eyes, it was a lie to say that she was not afraid! She trembled and said, "Lord Gaozu ------, he wants to commit murder in front of the court, please save the old man------"

The Zhang brothers in Taoli Village were also frightened by Li Qian's actions at this time.

How could they have imagined that this scholar would have such a murderous and reckless side? You know, this is above the public court of the Yamen, is he really not afraid of the official authority of Lord Zhentai?

Syllable!

Tao Sheng, who was sitting at the back of the big case, slapped the shocked wood and shouted coldly: "Li Qian! Dare to say that you are not guilty, isn't this a thief? Come on, pull him away for me! ”

The two messengers immediately stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, respectively, clasped Li Qian's shoulders, making him unable to move, but they did not dare to force him to kneel in front of the court, after all, the identities of the two Jinshi were still there.

Li Qian's eyes narrowed slightly, raised his head and stared at Tao Sheng coldly: "Tao Sheng, let me tell you, a fake is a fake after all, no matter how similar it is, it can't be true!" Do you really think that my case will not be able to alarm Jingshi? ”

"Li Qian, are you threatening this constitution?"

Tao Sheng coldly reprimanded: "In handling cases in this constitution, we have always paid attention to the word justice!" Now, you are a good person, the evidence of the crime of raping an underage girl is conclusive, and you dare to speak sophistry, don't you think that this constitution can't handle you? ”

"Then you can try!"
