Chapter 620: It Was a Pit (Part II)
Seeing Yuan Jie speak like this, Yu Wenbin's face suddenly sank, his eyes flashed with fine light, and he stared at Yuan Governor's Mansion and hummed: "Lord Prefect, did you make this conclusion too early?" These so-called evidence may not be true, but if they are forged by the Xu family, it can be said that they are being thieves. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Lin Zhixian, at this time, do you still want to use clever words to excuse yourself?" Yuan Jie also snorted a little unhappily: "People can't say that the heart of the Yellow River is not dead, you are still immortal when you reach the Yellow River!" You must know that these deeds were taken by these ordinary people from their homes, not by the Xu family, so you have to have a basis for doubt. Or maybe you can come up with strong evidence that these contracts are forged.
"In my opinion, you can't produce any evidence, even the documents corresponding to these contracts, you can't produce them." Speaking of this, he turned his face again, stared at Yan Wenbin's eyes, and said with some ill intentions: "I won't hide it from you at this time, this official came here today because he heard that there was a fire in your county office, and many important official documents were destroyed, so I came to hold you accountable." You are a seven-rank county, an official of the imperial court, you don't know how to benefit the people and serve the court in the local area, but you only think about how to calculate and govern the people, which is really cold! Today, this official will temporarily take away all your positions as the prefect of Songjiang, and ask the court to deal with your crimes! Someone is comingββ! β
As soon as he called, the soap-clothed messenger who had been waiting outside the hall for a long time quickly swarmed in and surrounded Yu Wenbin. As soon as the prefect gave an order, they were going to come forward and take people.
Yuan Jie didn't give this order at this time, just because he was still worried about Yang Zhen who was sitting on the other side. The big boss of the brocade guard didn't say anything, just watched coldly, which made him both proud and a little apprehensive, I don't know if this guy will ruin his whole plan.
And what surprised him a little was that even at this time, when Yu Wenbin was about to be taken down, Yang Zhen was still sitting on the chair with his eyes, nose and nose, as if the old monk had settled down, and all foreign affairs had nothing to do with him.
"Could it be that he knows that things are difficult, so he simply ignores them?" With this thought in his heart, Yuan Jie simply waved his hand: "Take Lin Zhixian down, please go back to the mansion to talk." β
"Yes!" After the officers whispered yes, they reached out to pull Xue Wenbin up.
At this time, in addition to the people in the government, there were also officials and officials in the county government. But in the face of this kind of thing, the people in these county offices were all indifferent, as if the people who were going to be taken down had nothing to do with them. There were even a few people with a bit of joy in their eyes.
From this point of view, under the condition that Yang Zhen does not come forward, it seems that the ending of Lu Wenbin is already doomed, and there is no possibility of changing. The hands of several errand officers also touched his shoulders at this time, and as long as they exerted one more force, they could pull this Qipin Zhixian from their position.
I didn't want to do it at this time, but Lin Wenbin suddenly stood up suddenly, his eyes flashed with aggressive momentum, and shouted at those errand soldiers: "Retreat to this officer!" I see who dares to be disrespectful to this official! β
Intimidated by his sudden momentum, those government officials also had a sudden shock in their hearts, and couldn't help but stop what they were doing, and took a step back. After all, they are just lowly servants, but what they are in front of them is the imperial court officials, even if they are only seven ranks, in the Ming Dynasty, which has a strict hierarchy, they do not dare to provoke easily.
Seeing that his subordinates were reprimanded by Lu Wenbin, Yuan Jie only felt a burst of unhappiness hit his heart, and immediately sneered: "Lin Zhixian is really a great official. But you have to think clearly, if you resist at this time, you will only be charged with multiple charges of disobedience, which is very bad for you! β
"Lord Prefect, do you have to put me in a Jedi, do you have to open your eyes for the Xu family? It seems that the Xu family really gave the prefect a lot of benefits, and even let the dignified five-grade officials come to our county government to take me as a subordinate. Lu Wenbin was also very angry at this time, and naturally there were no more concerns in his words, but mostly mockery.
"You...... Nonsense! Don't think that these few words of slander against this official will clear your own name! Yuan Jie was also angry when he saw him so direct, and ordered again: "Don't you take people down to this mansion?" You don't have to worry, it's all in our hands! β
With the words of the prefect, the courage of those errand servants was naturally stronger, and they were no longer afraid of the momentum of the officials in front of them, so they immediately stepped forward again and stretched out their hands to take down Lu Wenbin.
And at this time, Yang Zhen, who had been watching all this, finally spoke: "Slow! β
Although he only said two words, he was so powerful that he immediately stopped the actions of those errand officers. In fact, everyone was paying attention to the big leader of the brocade guard, and when they saw him finally speak, everyone's hearts would inevitably tremble, and their attention was on him.
Yuan Jie's heart was also tight, but he quickly stabilized his mind, after all, this is the boundary of Songjiang Mansion, and as a prefect, he naturally doesn't have to be afraid of the other party, so he asked after a little calm: "What, does Yang Zhenfu have any high opinions?" β
Yang Zhen looked at Yuan Jie with a smile: "The judgment made by Governor Yuan just now is indeed somewhat reasonable, if these contract documents are true, Lin Zhixian will naturally not be able to get rid of the crime of framing others." But what if these things were deliberately forged? It's a different story. When he said this, his gaze shifted from Yuan Jie's body to those people, and there was a bit of playfulness in it.
And although those people didn't know Yang Zhen's identity, they were swept away by his gaze, and they panicked in their hearts, and they only dared to hang their heads to the ground, but they didn't dare to tell half a sentence.
Although he was faintly uneasy in his heart, at this point, Yuan Jie could only go one way to the dark. I saw him smile reluctantly: "Yang Zhenfu's words, isn't it the same truth as what he said?" But you say that these contracts are forged, and you have to come up with proof, right? You can't say it's fake, it's fake......"
"Yes, if there is no evidence, these contracts are true." Yang Zhen smiled faintly, and then clapped his hands lightly: "Bring me the things." β
With this greeting, Cai Yingyang walked in lightly with two large wooden boxes, and then put the boxes in front of everyone.
Everyone's eyes fell on what was in the box, a stack of slightly old dossiers. Yang Zhen easily took out a copy under the gaze of everyone, opened it and read it: "Today, Chen Rong, a villager in Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture, sold one hundred and twenty-one acres of land with the Xu family, and the price was thirty-six taels of silver. Five years of Daming Longqing, the third day of the fourth month ......"
When he read the contents of this document, the face of one of the people trembled, and then his body trembled. Obviously, he is the Chen Rong mentioned above, but what is written in the contract he handed in is enough to get thousands of taels of silver.
Yang Zhen didn't even look at the other party, continued to pick up a few more documents, and read them out loud to everyone. And every time he read it, one of the people changed their expressions and trembled. As for Yuan Jie, his face was even more blue and red at the moment, and he just wanted to find a gap to get into.
After reading five documents in a row, Yang Zhen stopped and lightly kicked these documents with his foot: "Governor Yuan, most of the files in this box are registered with the Xu family for the sale of land and real estate, and there are also the seals and signatures of the previous governors, if you don't believe it, you can check them carefully one by one." β
"This ......" Yuan Jie only looked at the appearance and appearance of those documents, and knew that Yang Zhen was not talking big about him, which made him even more confused in his heart, and he didn't know how to deal with this situation.
But Yang Zhen obviously didn't let him go, and continued: "And these contracts in your hand, Governor Yuan, don't have any official seals, and they look very fresh both on paper and in pen and ink, I'm afraid it's just been made, right?" I think with the wisdom of the prefect will not be unable to distinguish between the two and which is false. β
It's good that there is no comparison, and with this comparison, the problem of the contract in Yuan Jie's hand is completely revealed. Even if he can talk nonsense at this time, he can't open his eyes and tell nonsense, pointing to these forgeries and saying that it is true. This realization made Yuan Jie's forehead sweat, and his heart tightened for a while.
He could see that everything was a bureau, a pit dug by Yang Zhen and Yu Wenbin. It's ridiculous that he didn't realize this at all, and he thought he was winning, but in fact, he had already fallen into the other party's calculations, which made him completely unsure of what to say.
Even the officials of the county government also showed surprise on their faces one by one. Before, they also knew about the fire in Ertang, and they were sure that this time Lu Wenbin would not be able to turn over at all, but now they knew that this madman county commander actually hid a hand. The only exception is Master An, he looked at Yang Zhen and Lin Zhixian thoughtfully, but his heart was also a little empty, but fortunately, this matter was also known to Lu Wenbin and him, and he should not tell the truth.
After Yang Zhen paused for a moment, he stared at Yuan Jie's face again: "Governor Yuan, now the truth of this case is very clear, it is indeed the Xu family who forcibly occupied the people's land. That's not all, they even tried to forge contracts to frame officials loyal to the imperial court, can you, as the prefect of Songjiang, stand idly by? β
"I ...... The official ...... "Yuan Jie naturally understood the meaning of Yang Zhen's words, this is to let himself treat the Xu family's crimes." But does he have the guts? For a while, Governor Yuan fell into a dilemma!
