He Tongju returned to Jianchang County in a fit of anger, and as soon as he entered the main hall, he saw Xu Liang wearing a cyan robe, leisurely accompanying Jianchang County Zhi Wang Xian to drink tea and chat, and Jiang Zhunan, the history of Jianchang Dian on the side seat, also interjected from time to time, and was talking about some happy topic, and the three of them laughed together.

He Tongju snorted coldly, strode in, Xu Liang with a smile in his eyes, and said coldly: "How can you have a good chat...... Wang Zhixian, this official remembers that before the bribery case is cleared up, the main book of Jianchang should be treated as a criminal, and he is not allowed to leave the Xu Mansion without being summoned by this official, so why is he sitting in the Jianchang County Yali in a grand manner? ”

Wang Zhixian's face changed slightly, and he explained: "Lord He is angry, this Xu Liang came to the county office today to present new evidence. ”

Xu Liang smiled all over his face, and bowed to He Tongju and Hong Tuiguan: "Your Majesty...... Oh no, the criminal officer heard that the two adults came to Jianchang County in person, cough cough, the criminal officer who reviewed the bribery of the official, when he heard it, he was really overjoyed. Because the lower officials knew that the Lord of Futai sent two adults to come in person, it means that the Lord of Futai still believes in the lower officials, and who in Nankang Mansion does not know that the two adults of Nankang Tong Judgment and Push the Official are impartial and selfless, and they are aware of everything, and there are two adults here, and the suspicion of bribery by the lower officials will be quickly cleared up. In the past two days, the lower officials sat at home every day, waiting for the two adults to send someone to summon and interrogate, how do you know that the two adults are busy with business, and the lower officials are waiting left and right, but they don't see the summoned officials coming to the door, and there is no way, so the lower officials have to bring their own evidence to the county office. ”

"Hmph, it's better to say than to sing." He Tongju suffered a lot of anger in the patrol camp, so he naturally didn't have a good face, and waved his hand to interrupt: "Tell me, what evidence do you want to present?" It is also good to open the eyes of this official and Lord Hong. ”

Xu Liang pointed to a small wooden box on the side of the table on the inside of the main hall, with a black lacquer cover, yellow line strokes, and a lotus print on the cover, and said with great ease: "Everyone, look at it, it is the person who harms this thing, and the lower officials were grateful for the love of the Lord of Futai for Jianchang at that time, and specially selected a few Jianchang specialties, which were placed in such a box, and waited for the Lord of Futai to taste a fresh taste when he left,"

Saying that, Xu Liang sighed, stomped his feet and said: "How do you know that the subordinates in the family are so careless, they actually took the wrong box and brought over the box of money from the patrol battalion stored in the small box at home, which caused such a big misunderstanding and embarrassed the people of Futai, which was really unintentional." ”

He Tong listened, squinted his eyes at the small wooden box, and sneered in his mouth, "Lord Xu is really good at presenting evidence, and if you say that you take the wrong one, you can really take the wrong one, but how can the official look at this box is not the same as the one given to Lord Xu Tai?" ”

"That's it......" Xu Liang looked remorseful, "If you don't say that the people in the family are too disagreeable, even outsiders like adults can see the difference between the two boxes at a glance, please see, my lords, this small box is specially ordered by the lower officials, in order to look better, the lower officials also specially asked to draw the yellow edge, printed the color, how do you know that this can also be wrong!" Alas, when I turned around, I had to train the careless family member severely! ”

He Tongju sneered and was noncommittal.

Hong Tuiguan stepped forward and opened the box, and sure enough, he saw that there were four or five packs of hardcover tea and four boxes of snacks in thick cardboard boxes. Looking at He Tong's judgment, he nodded and said, "In this way, the bribery case of Lord Xu must be really a misunderstanding." ”

He Tongju frowned when he heard this, glared at Hong Tuiguan with dissatisfaction, and secretly blamed him for drawing conclusions lightly. However, I really didn't find any conclusive evidence to prove Xu Liang's guilt in the past two days, the account books of this patrol camp couldn't be understood, and the Xu Mansion family in the prison didn't let go, and now this hateful Xu Liang got a copy of the so-called evidence and sent it to the county government in person, and the evidence seems to show that Xu Liang was really wronged, although He Tong will not believe it if he is sentenced to death, but the reality is so cruel.

But this Hong Tuiguan's conclusion was not made too quickly, Hong Tuiguan is also one of the chief judges, as soon as his conclusion comes out, how will he check it in the future? Therefore, He Tongju was very dissatisfied, and was about to open his mouth to correct it, when he saw that Hong Tuiguan was making a look at him.

Could it be that this Hong Tuiguan has other ideas? He Tongju's lips moved, and finally he didn't say anything.

If He Tongju does not object, it will be regarded as acquiescence.

Wang Zhixian laughed and said: "That's good, this county is also well aware of Master Xu's personality, and now it proves that Master Xu is fine, that's really good." With that, Wang Zhixian turned around and took out the official hat of the county master book from the desk, sent it to Xu Liang, and said with a smile: "Come on, Lord Xu, your black gauze hat, take it, well, forget it today, Ming'er will officially come to the county government to do an errand." ”

"Eh, Lord Xie." Xu Liang took the official hat, held it in his arms, and turned to Lu County Cheng and Jiang Dianshi and said, "Two adults, it's been a long time. ”

"Congratulations, Lord Xu." Lu County Cheng and Jiang Dian Shi also said dryly when they saw this.

Xu Liang said to He Tongju and Hong Tuiguan, who were black-faced: "Two adults, since the misunderstanding of the lower officials has been cleared, then the lower officials will go to the county jail for a while to take the bad family back to the house to be disciplined, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

He Tongju didn't speak, and looked at Hong Tuiguan.

Hong Tuiguan said: "Lord Xu is no problem, that family can naturally be taken back at any time." ”

"Eh, Lord Xie!" Xu Liang thanked him again and again.

"Still." Hong Tuiguan continued: "Although it is a complete misunderstanding to find out that Lord Xu offered bribes, in the past two days, the Japanese official and Lord He have found some other circumstances in the course of investigating the case, and this official and Lord He feel that it is necessary to investigate more clearly, and then they will still call Lord Xu to come over for questioning." ”

Xu Liang's heart jumped, and he secretly scolded these two bastards for being troublesome, and what other situations were there, didn't he just see that he had done too strict in the remedial measures for bribery, and he wanted to use other small problems to make trouble if he couldn't handle it?

Although he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, Xu Liang still slapped his chest loudly in front of him, and said eloquently: "The two adults can rest assured, the lower officials have always behaved rightly, stood upright, were honest and honest, and were law-abiding, not afraid of investigation, and able to withstand investigation." If the two adults discover the suspicious behavior of the lower officials, the lower officials will definitely cooperate fully and be sure to clarify the facts! ”

"That'll be fine." Hong Tuiguan said slowly.

Xu Liang said goodbye to all the adults in the main hall, and hurried to the county jail.

The head of the county jail saw Xu Liang in ordinary clothes, and he didn't know that Xu Liang had been exonerated yet, so he said with a smile: "Xu ...... Why did the adults come in person? ”

"Well, the official's problem has been clarified, it was a pure misunderstanding, and now the official has been reinstated, now come and bring back the unsuccessful subordinate, and ask the cell boss to lead the way."

As soon as the cell leader heard that Xu Liang had been reinstated, his face became more and more respectful, and he said hello again and again, and led Xu Liang into the gloomy county prison. After entering the interrogation room in front of the prison, and coming to the cell where the iron head was held alone, there was an iron door to stop him when he walked inside, and two guards with knives appeared on the side of the door guarding the door, and when he saw Xu Liang and others, one of the guards shouted: "Prison felons, no one is allowed to visit without a warrant from Lord He." ”

Xu Liang stepped forward and said: "This official Jianchang is the main bookkeeper, and now he has been cleared of the charge of bribery, and the official has been reinstated, and he has come to bring back the subordinates of the Xu Mansion." ”

The guard fixed his eyes on Xu Liang, although he had heard of Xu Liang's name, but he didn't recognize Xu Liang, and then thinking about He Tong's explanation, his neck was stiff, and he stopped him with a knife: "No visitation without a warrant." ”

The cell head probe stepped forward and said, "Two grandfathers, this is indeed Lord Xu who has been reinstated as an official." ”

The guard added, "No warrant, no control." ”

Xu Liang frowned, raised his hand backwards, and the four personal guards who followed behind him rushed forward, the steel knife was unsheathed, and in a flash of cold light, the two Nankang guards each had a horizontal knife on their necks. The two Nankang Mansion guards were dumbfounded, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to move.

Xu Liang didn't look at the Nankang Mansion guards who were restrained, and strode into the cell, the cell head opened the lock and opened the cell door, Xu Liang entered, and saw a man with a cloak lying on a bed cushioned by a gray cotton quilt, and the dark blood stains on the white prison clothes almost printed the white prison clothes into flowers.

When the two personal guards helped Tietou up, Tietou raised his eyes and saw Xu Liang, grinning hehehe: "Young master, I didn't say anything nonsense, hehe...... ...... hiss" Iron Head grinned as he grinned at the scars on his face.

Xu Liang's eyes were red, and he choked up: "Ah Tie, the young master has caused you to suffer." ”
