Chapter Sixty-Eight

People with merit do not have to kneel, this is a very strange rule, in fact, kneeling is a kind of "precious abnormality" left after foreign invasion, but with such a rule, it also indirectly shows that the identity of the scholar is noble, even under the rule of a foreign race, they all enjoy privileges, indeed, in ancient times when reading was expensive, being able to read is a symbol of status. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and then to the later literati era, it is even more remarkable, readers seem to be born superior, no matter when and where there is a very strange and inexplicable sense of superiority in the eyes of modern people. Later, when most of the people in the court were literati, this inexplicable sense of superiority was suddenly infinitely magnified, so that even a small county order, the emperor could not withdraw it if he wanted to. said that the shore of the handsome land is not the king's minister, and it has become complete nonsense.

So now, even if he knows that Peng Cheng's crime is extremely heinous, Chen Guang has no way to make him confess his guilt without conclusive evidence, which is really painful. Of course, we are still living in an era of martial artists, and the peak of the literati era has not yet arrived, although there is such a trend, but it is not absolute, as long as there is a little evidence, it will be easy to kill this Peng Cheng. The question is, what about the evidence?

And for Peng Cheng and Gong Changlong, Gong Changlong is an official under Peng Cheng, the so-called official level crushed people to death, before receiving the order of the imperial court, Peng Chengcheng was able to arrest Gong Changlong and put him in prison, and now he has a private court, but even if these are illegal things, it is not enough for him to die, but he can easily play Gong Changlong to death, which is very embarrassing. Therefore, there is no doubt that the system will never be perfect, and the so-called ass determines thinking, and where the ass sits, the thinking will be at what height, which is undoubted.

This Peng Cheng acted very cautiously, so even if all the people gritted their teeth at him, they were helpless, and these officials below, although they were exploited by him, were also very jealous of him. His Royal Highness the Prince, to say something unpleasant, this is called the Emperor of the Sky High, as long as his affairs do not happen, he will be able to be powerful forever, alas, in fact, everyone is very bitter. When Xiao He talked about this Peng Chenglai, it seemed that he also had a lot of bitter water to pour outside.

It can be seen that Xiao He also has a lot to say about this Peng Cheng, but he is just a little master, and he is soft-spoken, so it is naturally impossible to get Peng Cheng, and he must be careful of this Peng Cheng's calculations everywhere, which can be said to be walking on thin ice.

Chen Guang thought that this Peng Cheng was just a common man, but he didn't expect that the officials below him already hated him so much. He said: "Letting such a person be an official is indeed a negligence of the imperial court, although a group of officials were dealt with last year, but the country is so big, it is inevitable that there will be omissions." ”

"This Weichen naturally knows, and he never thinks that it is the court, but it's a pity that Gong Changlong was framed like this. and his daughter, Weichen just gave her a piece of news, she actually did such a thing, it is really sad, if you can, I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can remember her young and forgive her for this sin. Xiao He said.

Chen Guang smiled: "She, I don't think there's anything wrong with her, how can I forgive her sins." ”

Xiao He said: "That's good, that's good." ”

Chen Guangdao: "I came here today, just to get a little clue from you, but now it seems that there is no more, since this is the case, then I will leave." ”

He stood up to leave, Xiao He kept him for dinner, he didn't agree, returned to the inn, saw the little beggar, the little beggar asked hopefully, "How is it?" Chen Guang shook his head helplessly, and said: "Although Master Xiao has a good relationship with Gong Changlong, he didn't give me any evidence, it seems that this road is impassable, think of other ways." ”

At this time, Wu Xin came in from outside and said, "Second master, the Qin messenger from the capital has arrived in Zhu County." ”

"Coming?" Chen Guang's eyes lit up, and said: "That relationship is good, they can come forward to do a lot of things, and they should be able to investigate it soon, after all, in this place, this Peng Cheng is already angry, just ask a few people." ”

He touched the little beggar's head and said with a smile, "Your sister Fangfang should be able to get out of prison soon." ”

Zhu County, outside the city, a team of people and horses came slowly from the official road, four flags in the front, four gongs behind the flags, walk a few steps and knock it, the sound spread far away. There is a sedan chair in the back, and the officials who came out of the capital to deal with Gong Changlong's case are sitting in it.

At this moment, outside Zhu County, a group of officials led by Peng Cheng were already waiting in official uniforms, and there was not a single person on the street, all of them were driven away by the soldiers, and all the shops were closed.

The name of this official from the capital is Hao Ren, but he doesn't look like a good person, sharp-beaked monkey cheeks, Chen Guang once saw him when he was in the last dynasty, and he was still thinking about why this honorable person can be an official, after all, the image of an official is very important, not to mention being dignified, at least within an acceptable range, at least unbearable, but Hao Ren doesn't even meet this standard, but he became an official, which makes people feel very ghostly.

It is said that Hao Ren was sitting in a sedan chair and was reading a book, when he suddenly felt the sedan chair tremble, and was about to scold, but he heard a deep voice outside, saying: "Xiaguan Peng Cheng greets the errand." ”

"Oh? Arrived? Hao Ren muttered to himself, then opened the curtain, and saw that he had arrived in Zhu County, so he threw the book on the seat, got off the sedan chair, and suddenly smiled on his face, and said; Hello colleagues. ”

Peng Chengdao: "The upper errand has worked hard all the way, and the lower official has arranged a banquet in the Yanque Building to pick up the wind and wash the dust." ”

"Oh? Swallow Bird Tower? Is it the bird's nest that knows the ambition of the bird? Hao Ren asked.

Peng Cheng said with a smile: "No, no, it's the swallow of the warbler and the swallow of the little finch." ”

Hao Ren suddenly showed a meaningful smile and said, "So that's the case, good name, good name." Since you are so hearted, then the official is disrespectful. ”

Peng Chengdao: "This is the letter of etiquette of the lower officials, it should be, the superiors don't have to be polite." ”

"It's rare that you are so hearted, then I don't want to thank your kindness, this official came down to investigate the case, you have to remember this."

"People are iron and steel, even if it is to investigate the case, then it has to eat, even if the emperor comes, it has to be like this, right?"

"That's right, let's go." (To be continued.) )
