Chapter 105: Spread the net on all sides
He Tongju and Hong Tuiguan returned to the second hall of the county ya, and waved away Wang Xian, the magistrate of Jianchang County, who came to greet him, and now he was surrounded by his own people, so he said to Hong Tuiguan dissatisfiedly: "Lord Hong, Xu Liang's innocent verdict is too fast, so let's go back to Nankang Mansion How to explain to the prefect?" β
Hong Tuiguan didn't mean it, and sat down lightly, and said: "Lord He, don't worry, we have conclusive evidence in our hands right now, and if we hold on to Xu Liang's bribery, I'm afraid that the Jianchang officials will be dissatisfied after a long time." β
He Tongju snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "This official handles the case, do you still have to look at the face of the Jianchang County official?" β
Hong Tuiguan said: "My lord, although I said so, but we are in Jianchang, far away from Nankang Mansion, if we offend too many Jianchang county officials, they will not hinder them in the open, but secretly they will tear down the platform and set up the seedlings. β
He Tongju was stunned, waved his hand in the air in annoyance, and said, "Then what do you say should be done next?" Could it be that we just go home empty-handed? Let Xu Liang's kid stay free? I don't care, if Lord Futai asks, he will say that it is the conclusion given by you Hong Nanxing! β
When Hong Tuiguan saw He Tongju's appearance, he was disdainful in his heart, and secretly said that he wanted to handle the case like a bear like this? If it weren't for Sun Yiping, the old man would still be listening to your waste!
"Don't be bored, adults!" Hong Tuiguan patiently explained: "At present, it is obvious that the county officials, government officials, and patrol battalions in Jianchang have all been bought off by Xu Liang, and the bribery cases that the Lord Futai asked us to investigate are all people who are close to Xu Liang. Today's situation, you have also seen it, the patrol battalion is hostile to us, and those soldiers who didn't Xu Liang nodded didn't even let us enter the gate, as for the family of the Xu Mansion, it seems that we just beat him to death, and he won't change his confession, Xu Liang is even more desperate, he actually personally presented a small box as evidence to clear his name! My lord, things have come to this point, if we still hold on to Xu Liang's bribery, the lower officials are worried, we will find it difficult to get results even if we check it in Jianchang for a month! β
"That'...... What do you mean, Lord Hong? "Although He Tongju is not very good at business, he is a person who has been with Sun Yiping, the prefect of Nankang for many years, and his mind is also flexible.
"My lord, the lower official has such an idea." Hong Tuiguan muttered, "Since it is not feasible to investigate Xu Liang's bribery, then we might as well boldly let him go, and simply believe that the bribery is false and purely misunderstood." In this way, Xu Liang will be paralyzed, and secondly, he can also free his hands to check some other things. β
"Go on." He Tongju also heard the taste.
"Why did Lord Futai send us to investigate Xu Liang, it is nothing more than to use this to put Xu Liang down, as for whether he Xu Liang is bribing or greedy for ink, it is a reasonable reason. When Xia Guan was working in the Criminal Department, he learned a hand, which is called a little flowering, and the net is spread on all sides. β
"One point is the introduction, that is, Xu Liang's bribery of Shangguan, if a little bit can blossom, it will naturally be hello, hello, hello, everyone. If the flowers can't bloom, then use the next trick to spread the net on all sides. β
"How?" He Tongju had to sigh that he had a specialization in the art industry, if he had to sneak a horse, the rigid Hong Nanxing was naturally not even worthy of carrying his shoes, but when it came to torture and interrogation, then Hong Tuiguan was naturally his teacher. It was He Tongju who put down his identity, left the main seat, sat across the table from Hong Tuiguan, and humbly asked for advice.
"The crime is not important, and the process is not important, but if Xu Liang can be rectified, the goal of the Futai Lord will be achieved." Hong Tuiguan looked completely humble at this time, the corners of his mouth were slightly slanted, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and his eyes were cold, looking more insidious and insidious.
"Xu Liang, as the chief bookkeeper of Jianchang and the official of the court, is in charge of many things, so there are naturally many places where he may make mistakes. He is in charge of three shifts and six rooms, and he interrogates the case by torture, so has there been a false and wrongful case in the past year or so? He also served as the patrol envoy of the Jianchang People's League and assisted in public security, so Jianchang County was repeatedly harassed by pirates, is Xu Liang responsible? Xu Liang is young, and he heard that he was penniless when he came, but now he lives in a mansion and has a beautiful concubine, which must be suspected of being greedy for ink. Also, the Tan family car and horse shop was suppressed because of bandits, and the confiscated silver reported to the court was less than 10,000 taels, but the lower officials heard that the Tan brothers were the richest people in Jianchang. Otherwise, where is the rest of the silver? β
"Makes sense, it makes so much sense!" He Tongju stroked his palms and laughed. "Lord Hong really deserves to be a veteran of the torture room, and he is very spicy in handling the case, and the official is sighing to himself."
"Where, where." Hong Tuiguan chuckled, and the smug look on his face grew stronger.
"Okay, then the official will follow what Lord Hong said, come to him and spread the net on all sides, and he will definitely take down Xu Liang!" He Tongju slapped the table hard and said hatefully.
Xu Liang brought back the scarred iron head and instructed his subordinates to invite the best doctor in Jianchang County to treat the iron head. He officially returned to the Jianchang County Office.
That night, Wang Xian, the county governor of Jianchang, was asked to pick up the wind for Xu Zhushu in Zhiwei, and at the same time feasted the two adults of Nankang Mansion. During the banquet, Xu Liang toasted He Tongju and Hong Tuiguan with a smile, and said a lot of sensual compliments and thanks, and the two adults were also smiling.
When the atmosphere was getting better, Xu Liang took advantage of the wine to ask about the return date of the two adults, He Tongju blushed, waved his hand again and again with a big tongue, and said that he was not in a hurry, he was not in a hurry, the mountains and rivers in Jianchang County were good, and he would stay for two more days.
Now that three days have passed, the two adults are still occupying the second hall of Jianchang County, and they have no intention of leaving.
Xu Liang muttered in his heart, the so-called abnormal must be demonic, these two annoying old bastards dominate the second hall of the county government and are unwilling to move the nest, so naturally they will not do anything good.
Called the official who was secretly in charge of keeping an eye to ask, but the official said that there was nothing abnormal in the two days He Hong, and the day before yesterday he politely visited Zhang Zhendong of the Jianchang Chamber of Commerce.
Xu Liang felt a little relieved, and went all the way back to Xu's Mansion on Dongmen Street, visited the iron head who would recuperate, and accompanied Feng Suqin to dinner, sighing for a while, when he lay on the warm bed at night, a sense of uneasiness hit his heart.
Jianchang is really a small county, Zhang Zhendong, the president of the Jianchang Chamber of Commerce, is about to be buried in the loess to the neck, before the two brothers of the Tan family helped the old man to sit in the position of the president of the Jianchang Chamber of Commerce, purely to see that the old man is old and senior, and he raised it to fill the faΓ§ade, after the death of the two brothers of the Tan family, the Jianchang Chamber of Commerce fell apart and left an empty shell.
As for the painting boat on the Jianchang River, Xu Liang once took the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion to go twice in the name of inspection, and at a glance it was full of vulgar powder, not that all of them were ugly, but the appearance was mediocre and the quality was medium and low. Xu Liang heard that He Tong sentenced the twelve wives and concubines in the family, all of them are extremely beautiful, he will look at these goods? Still staying all day? Could it be that a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is better than a concubine, and a concubine is better than stealing, and it is better to steal than to steal?
No, it's greasy!
Thinking of this, Xu Liang turned over as soon as he stood up, got dressed neatly and went out of the bedroom door, called a housekeeper, and told him to hurry up and call Ah Feng from Liang Ji's security department.
Ah Feng returned to the Xu Mansion on Dongmen Street from the Liang Ji factory in Yangjialing overnight.
Xu Liang asked about the suspicious movements in Jianchang County.
Ah Feng was stunned for a long time before he muttered: "Young Master, I heard that you have been reinstated, so I withdrew most of the people who were watching. As a result, I have not received any suspicious reports in the past two days. β
"Reclaimed?" Xu Liang was taken aback and asked anxiously, "Have you withdrawn?" None left? β
"That's not it," Ah Feng also realized that something must have happened to his young master, and after thinking for a while, he hesitated: "I withdrew the manpower at the city gate, the major streets, and the river, but the group of people from Nankang Mansion are still staring at it." β
"That's good!" Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief and asked urgently: "Let me ask you, how much do you know about what those people in Nankang Mansion have done in the past two days?" β
"Uh......" Ah Feng hesitated, "They don't seem to be doing anything...... Oh, those two officials went to the painting boat on the Jianchang River yesterday and stayed until late before they dispersed. β
"I don't ask the official, I ask the dozens of soldiers under them, what have they done in the past two days?" Xu Liang asked.
"This ......" Ah Feng was dumbfounded, touched his head and said, "I didn't ask about this." β
"Then go ask for it!" Xu Liang roared: "Also, the eyes everywhere are sent to me!" β
"Huh!" Ah Feng ran out in a hurry to arrange.
