Chapter 971: Secretly Rejoicing
Li Yuntian didn't go to the county government but stayed in the inn to wait for the news, and after learning that Ma Yan had used a big punishment on those Zhang Gu's subordinates who wanted to deny it, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile of envy.
Although the way of acting is a bit rude, it may be the best choice for those bullies who run rampant in the township, anyway, those guys usually bully men and women, and do all kinds of evil, even if they are tortured, they deserve it.
"Xianggong, it's really as you expected, when Ma Yan severely sentenced those who were wronged by the people, the county government immediately exploded, and many people who came to see the excitement complained to Ma Yanshi, accusing Zhang Gu and his henchmen of the crimes." When Li Yuntian was enjoying the shade in the courtyard, Lei Ting walked over with a smile.
Under the strong trial of Ma Baishi, the cases reported by those groups of people were won very smoothly, and with the sentencing of Zhang Gu's henchmen involved in the case, a group of people who were watching the excitement suddenly poured out from the people who held up their hands to shout grievances, suing Zhang Gu and his henchmen.
Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, he just lightly touched the first domino, and the rest of the things naturally happened.
Because there were too many people suing at the county office, Ma Yan's case could not be tried in one day, so he divided the cases of those people into several batches and prepared to interrogate them batch by batch.
At the same time, Ma Yanshi once again arrested people in Lin'an County with great fanfare, continued to arrest Zhang Gu's henchmen and family members, and put on a posture of the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, which had the posture of sweeping the Zhang family away from Lin'an County.
It is worth mentioning that in this arrest, the officers of the county government of Lin'an County became the main force, after all, the manpower brought by Ma Yanshi from Zhejiang according to the Inspectorate Department was limited, and he had to watch over the arrested Zhang Gu and other important people involved in the case, so he had to rely on the strength of the county government.
Ma Baishi is not worried about those people in the county government who are sneaking and cheating, the reason is very simple, first, those people can take the opportunity to draw a clear line with Zhang Gu and others to avoid being implicated, and secondly, with Yang Wen sitting in the back, no one dares to slack off.
Don't look at Yang Wen didn't say much about Zhang Gu in front of Ma Yanshi, but in fact, he hated Zhang Gu who was emptying him very much, and now that Zhang Gu was unlucky, he naturally wanted to beat the water dog, so he commanded several henchmen in the county government to fully cooperate with Ma Gu to arrest people, and I wish that Zhang Gu's power in Lin'an County would be uprooted this time, so that even if Zhang Gu escaped by hanging, he would never be able to turn over again.
However, before the people of Lin'an County could recover from the shock of Zhang Gu's arrest, they were attracted by the large number of officials who suddenly poured into Lin'an County.
Including Zhejiang's left and right political envoys, Zhejiang's envoys, Zhejiang's governors and Zhejiang's governors, and a number of high-ranking officials on Zhejiang's borders, even Zhejiang's commanders and envoys came.
Later, the people learned that it was Xie Muen, the deputy envoy of the Jiangnan Patrol and the left deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who came to Ancheng to try the case of the violent death of the king butcher.
Although the people didn't know what kind of official the left deputy of the Imperial Procuratorate was, the deputy inspector of Jiangnan had heard that it was a messenger sent by the emperor, and even the three divisions of Zhejiang had to give him three points.
With the arrival of Xie Muen and others, there were hundreds of soldiers sent by the commander of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Department to escort them, as well as more than 100 errands from the Zhejiang Political Envoy.
After all, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries on the territory of Zhejiang are now gathered in the county seat of Lin'an County, if something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable, and the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division and the Zhejiang Political Envoy Department have to be prepared to take precautions in advance.
If so many people come to another county at once, and there are many of them who are sitting on the town, how to settle it is a problem.
However, Hangzhou Mansion is the world's first-class wealthy state capital, and there are many large families in the county seat of Lin'an County, and those local officials have found a place to live very smoothly, and the heads of households are all doing their best to serve, you must know that they rarely have this kind of opportunity to get close to these local officials.
Originally, there were people from Zhejiang Sansi who wanted to occupy the inn in the county as a foothold, after all, there were too many people who came this time, and the accommodation was a little crowded, but Xie Muen refused so that he could not disturb the people, and he also sent a few attachés to garrison the inn.
Although outsiders are a little puzzled by Xie Muen's move, Xie Muen is a dignified deputy envoy of Jiangnan Patrol, and no one dares to disobey his orders, and now there is a case of Wang Butcher's violent death that attracts everyone's energy, so no one cares about the deep meaning behind Xie Muen's somewhat abnormal order.
In any case, they would never have thought that this inn in the county seat of Lin'an County would actually have the dignified King Zhongwu of Daming living in it, otherwise they would not dare to go to the inn to disturb Li Yuntian even if they ate the courage of the ambitious leopard.
After returning to Lin'an County, Bai Dezhang, who was blue and his eyes were red, hurried back home and found Mrs. Bai in the backyard of the county government to ask about Zhang Gu.
Bai Dezhang was taken aback when he received the news that Zhang Gu was arrested by Ma Yanshi, although this seemed to be Zhang Gu's matter, but secretly it was for him, after all, Zhang Gu was just a small nine-grade sesame official, how could he bother a five-grade person to investigate and deal with it?
Therefore, Bai Dezhang subconsciously thought that Ma Yanshi was coming at him, and his heart was extremely panicked, restless, tossing and turning, and when he was in Hangzhou City, he asked someone to go to the Yamen of the Inspectorate to listen to the news, but found nothing, and even the people who were appointed to the Inspectorate did not know why Ma Servant suddenly went to Lin'an County to start with a small master book, which seemed a bit overkill.
Although he didn't hear any useful news, Bai Dezhang has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and naturally realized that something was wrong.
As for whether Ma Bai Shi was ordered by the envoy or the deputy envoy, Bai Dezhang is unknown, but no matter who he meant, Zhang Gu is finished this time, and it is obvious that the reason why Ma Bai Shi went to go is to destroy Zhang Gu.
After learning from the flustered Mrs. Bai that Ma Gu had swept away Zhang Gu's henchmen and the important figures of the Zhang family, Bai Dezhang breathed a sigh of relief, so it seems that Ma Bai Shi really came to Zhang Gu this time, otherwise he would not have been so ruthless to Zhang Gu.
In Bai Dezhang's opinion, if Ma Gu was coming at him, he would definitely torture Zhang Gu to learn from Zhang Gu that he had violated the law and discipline, so this was Ma Gu's previous Lin'an County specifically targeting Zhang Gu, which made him feel a little relieved.
"This Zhang Gu, on weekdays, the official reminded him three times and twice to act in a low-key manner, but he didn't know how to restrain himself, but now he didn't know who he offended, and he actually made people kill him."
Then, Bai Dezhang's face showed a trace of anger, slapped the table fiercely, and said through gritted teeth, "It doesn't matter if he wants to find death, if he affects the official, it will be a crime and he should die!" ”
"Master, is Zhang Gu done this time?" Hearing this, Madam Bai couldn't help but ask in surprise, in his opinion, Zhang Gu Ke was a very capable person.
"Hmph, Ma has taken action personally, how can he have a way to live?" Bai Dezhang sneered, and instructed Mrs. Bai, "From today onwards, I will immediately break off the relationship with Zhang Gu, and I must draw a clear line with him, so as not to be implicated by him." ”
Generally speaking, the officials of Ma Yishi's level want to check at least a seventh-grade official of the level of Bai Dezhang, and Zhang Gu is just a nineth-grade official who can also enjoy this "honor", which is 100% over.
"Master, Zhang Gu won't talk nonsense." Madame Bai nodded hurriedly, and then asked tentatively, with a nervous look on her face.
Zhang Gu has a close relationship with Bai Dezhang and the Bai family, and knows a lot of things about Bai Dezhang and the Bai family, so she is worried that Zhang Gu will implicate Bai Dezhang.
"Zhang Gu is a smart person, he knows what to say and what not to say, if something happens to the official, the Zhang family will never turn over in Lin'an County from now on." Bai Dezhang shook his head when he heard this.
Zhang Gu is an old fritter in officialdom, and he must know that he will not escape this time, so he can only count on Bai Dezhang to take care of the Bai family in the future, so he will definitely rather die than confess something unfavorable to Bai Dezhang.
Besides, Bai Dezhang didn't think that Ma Bai Shi wanted to deal with him, otherwise Ma Yan Shi had already been in Lin'an County for a few days, and if he wanted to deal with him, he would have already collected enough evidence, and he would have already been arraigned and would not be able to stay here in peace.
"When the case in hand is over, the master will find a way to transfer out of this unfortunate place." After taking a few sips of tea from the teacup, Bai Dezhang put the teacup on the table heavily, and said hatefully.
If it weren't for the fact that the case of the violent death of the butcher Wang was too big, Bai Dezhang would have done a good job the year before last and should have been promoted to a position in the government office in other places, but because the case was unresolved, he would have been delayed and continued to stay in the position of the magistrate of Lin'an County.
It is a rare opportunity in officialdom, it can be described as a slow step, Bai Dezhang finally looked forward to a chance to be promoted, but was delayed by the case of the violent death of the butcher Wang, which made him extremely annoyed in his heart, God knows when there will be a chance for promotion in the future, even if he has it, he may not be his turn.
Mrs. Bai couldn't help but sigh when she heard this, she originally thought that it was a lucky thing to be transferred to a wealthy county like Lin'an County as an official, but now it seems that it is a disaster, which makes Bai Dezhang encounter trouble one after another.
At this moment, Bai Dezhang would never have thought that the reason why Ma Bai Shi didn't move him was because Ma Bai Shi received an order to strictly investigate Zhang Gu, and let go of other things.
Otherwise, the old spicy man of the horse will definitely "pry" a lot of valuable things from Zhang Gu's mouth, Bai Dezhang is right, Zhang Gu will definitely not confide in things related to him, because Zhang Gu is still counting on Bai Dezhang to cover the Bai family in Lin'an County.
But Bai Dezhang ignored one thing, that is, Zhang Gu lived a comfortable life on weekdays, and he had never suffered any hardships, it can be said that he was delicate and expensive, and it was difficult to survive the criminal laws in the torture room.
Bai Dezhang would never have thought that the person who gave this order to Ma Yan would be the dignified King Zhongwu of Daming, Li Yuntiantong Guò Xie Muen transferred Ma Yanshi.
Although Ma Baishi didn't know what Li Yuntian meant, since this was something Xie Muen explained, he naturally had to go all out to deal with Zhang Gu.
It is precisely because of this that Bai Dezhang did not know that he was actually a fish on the chopping board, and he would be slaughtered at any time because of the case of the violent death of the butcher Wang.
