Chapter 123: Remedying the Dead
"Who's in the way? Dare to obstruct the patrol of the imperial history yamen on an errand? Xu Cheng sensed that the people from the Baishui Town Inspection Department were not good, so he stepped forward and shouted coldly to Zhao Hua. Chasing the reckless wasteland, you have to be quick.
"This official is the inspector of the Baishui Town Inspection Division." Zhao Hua was unmoved, and looked at Xu Cheng with a cold expression, "Since it is an errand for the Imperial History Yamen, can there be a certificate?" ”
"This is an official document issued by the Inspector Goshi himself." Xu Cheng quietly took out the arrest order signed by Cui Hui and shook it at Zhao Hua.
"In that case, then please give the list of the people who have been captured to the official, and the official can explain to his superiors." Zhao Hua raised his right hand, and the crossbowmen and archers behind him put down the weapons in their hands.
"Come on, count the number of people." Xu Cheng thought about it and gave instructions loudly to avoid extraneous branches.
In fact, he didn't bother to pay attention to Zhao Hua's small inspection department, and when he inspected the imperial history yamen to handle the case, don't talk about the insignificant inspection department, even the people from the county government and the government didn't dare to talk much.
However, the sergeants of the Whitewater Town Inspection Division were guarding there in full armor, and at first glance they were well-equipped and well-trained, and they looked very difficult to provoke, and in case of a conflict, those people from the Houshan Inspection Division were no match for them at all.
Moreover, Zhao Hua's request is reasonable, Zhao Hua, as the inspector of the Baishui Town Inspection Department, has the responsibility of guarding the place, so it is naturally impossible to ignore Xu Cheng and arrest a group of people, and if something happens at that time, he will not be able to explain.
Therefore, from the perspective of local security, there is nothing wrong with Zhao Hua's move, and the people who patrol the imperial history yamen should give him an explanation.
Usually, the local officials avoid arresting people according to the yamen, and they dare to put forward any conditions to them, but if they encounter those "stunned young people", the people who patrol the yamen have no choice.
Zhao Hua waved his hand, and several sergeants from the Inspection Division went over to help count the number of people, he did this purely to block Xu Cheng, anyway, Xu Cheng came from the capital with Cui Hui, and he was going to return to the capital as soon as the time of the year came, so he was not afraid of offending this person.
After counting the number of people, Zhao Hua's sergeants got out of the way, Xu Cheng led the people on the boat and left in a hurry, rushed to Pengze County, and then went to Ruichang County overnight through Pengze County.
On the way, Xu Cheng's face was gloomy, although he arrested Chen Bozhao and Zheng Gui and others, but Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou ran away, and those accounts were gone, so his operation could be described as a failure.
He really couldn't figure out what went wrong that made Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou learn the news in advance, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that Li Yuntian has been operating in Jiujiang Mansion in the past two years, and he can leak such top-secret information.
The news that Li Yuntian was arrested by the patrol for greedy ink quickly spread throughout Baishui Town because of Xu Cheng's arrival, and this matter came too suddenly, which made the residents of the town suddenly fall into panic, and rumors spread in the market.
Zhao Hua asked the sergeant of the Baishui Town Inspection Department to go to the street to maintain order, and clearly told Li Yuntian, the person in the town, that he had been framed, and that the imperial court would definitely be able to return Li Yuntian's innocence.
The people who were most shaken were the businessmen who were doing business in the trading market in Baishui Town, and if something happened to Li Yuntian, the trading market would be over, and no one was optimistic about his prospects.
Facing the merchants who came to the inspection department to inquire about the news with nervous expressions, Zhao Hua only asked one sentence, asking them who usually bribed Li Yuntian, and whether they were troubled because they did not give Li Yuntian benefits.
The businessmen immediately looked at each other when they heard this, and then dispersed stupidly, not only Li Yuntian, but even the county officials and ruffians did not dare to come to Baishui Town to cause trouble, some of them once wanted to bribe, but they were politely refused, which also made them feel at ease to do business here.
In other words, Li Yuntian's so-called greed for ink, ten of them were framed, which made them feel a little relieved.
The next day, Li Yuntian's affair quickly spread throughout Hukou County, causing an uproar in the whole county, and no one believed that such a good official as Li Yuntian would be greedy for ink, and who had ever seen a corrupt official would build water conservancy, build bridges and pave roads, and would have already put money in his own pocket, so he thought that he must have been framed by traitors.
Some village elders wanted to lead people to Ruichang County to ask Li Yuntian for his life, but they were stopped by the county officials at the county border, so that they could talk about it, and finally persuaded them to go back on the grounds that they would make Li Yuntian's situation worse.
The officials of the county government naturally did not dare to persuade those village elders to come back without authorization, this is what Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou meant, now the situation is unclear, once those villagers go to Ruichang County and are provoked by people with ill intentions, then the consequences are unimaginable.
Now that Li Yuntian, Zhou Yuting and Lu Cao are not there, Hukou County has only Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou at this time, and the two are secretly controlling the situation in Hukou County, so as not to escalate the situation.
Just when the people of the Hukou County County Government were painstakingly persuading those village elders, Cui Hui, the county government of Ruichang County, had already opened a court to try the case of Li Yuntian's embezzlement of ink.
The people of the county seat who learned the news flocked to the county government and surrounded the county government with three layers inside and three layers outside, and even the people from the surrounding villages and towns rushed over, and everyone wanted to see if Li Yuntian, who was famous in Jiujiang Mansion, was really a corrupt official.
The sergeants of the Ruichang County County Government and the Inspection Department have all been transferred by Qi Wanlong to maintain order, all with knives and guns, with a nervous expression, as if facing a great enemy.
Cui Hui sat on the top of the hall, looking at the dense crowd of people in the courtyard outside the hall, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, the reason why he let those people in was to ruin Li Yuntian's reputation, so that everyone in Jiujiang Mansion knew that Li Yuntian was a complete hypocrite, a veritable corrupt official.
Qi Wanlong and Feng Kui sat expressionlessly on both sides of the hall, as the jury of this trial, both of them were not in good spirits, and it seemed that they did not sleep well last night.
Especially Qi Wanlong, there are dark circles in the corners of his eyes, he has now realized that he was used as a gunman by Cui Hui, and Li Yuntian was "lured" to Ruichang County, he was extremely guilty in his heart, and at the same time hated Cui Hui's methods like this, and he had the ability to go directly to Hukou County to deal with Li Yuntian!
Cui Huitong guò Qi Wanlong transferred the tiger away from the mountain and transferred Li Yuntian out of Hukou County is also a matter of last resort, this time he is bound to make a move against Li Yuntian, and he cannot make the slightest mistake.
Hukou County is Li Yuntian's territory, and in just two years, it has been operated as solid as gold, and if he attacks Li Yuntian in Hukou County, he will inevitably encounter a lot of pressure.
Originally, Cui Hui felt that Wang Xiucai's case was complicated, and even Li Yuntian had no way to find conclusive evidence from it, so he could just take the opportunity to attack Li Yuntian and break Li Yuntian's reputation as "judging cases like a god".
It's a pity that the result disappointed him, Qi Wanlong's helpless case, Li Yuntian peeled off the cocoon, and found it out in an orderly manner, if it wasn't for the case within the case, I am afraid that he would have to "let the tiger go back to the mountain", so that Li Yuntian retreated to Hukou County.
Therefore, Cui Hui did not delay at all, and immediately set off to Ruichang County.
After personally experiencing the case of cracking the nameless female corpse in the reservoir, although Cui Hui was reluctant to admit it, it was an indisputable fact that Li Yuntian's ability was stronger than him, and even he could not end this clueless case in such a short time.
Although he was already seated in the hall, Cui Hui was not in a hurry to open the hall, but drank tea there slowly, which made Qi Wanlong and Feng Kui feel very strange, but they couldn't say anything.
Not long after, a man wearing a seventh-grade official robe hurriedly walked from the back hall, it was Xu Cheng, leaning over and saying something in Cui Hui's ear.
Cui Hui's face couldn't help but change when he heard this, the teacup he was holding froze in the air, his eyebrows furrowed tightly, he never thought that his carefully arranged plan would be leaked, which would make Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou escape.
Before deciding to attack Li Yuntian, Cui Hui specially investigated Li Yuntian, and in the face of a person with a high IQ like Li Yuntian, he could only defeat him in one go, otherwise once Li Yuntian was relieved, then he would have to turn the tables around.
And to do this, then it is necessary to grasp Li Yuntian's weakness, that is, the three concubines who are already pregnant with Liujia around him.
Cui Hui was not stupid enough to attack Zhou Yuting, but he didn't care so much about Lu Cao, Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou, and under Miki, he didn't believe that Li Yuntian sat back and watched his women be punished.
And now that only one green calyx was captured, Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou ran away and took those accounts with them, which undoubtedly disrupted his plan and complicated things.
Although this was the first time he had fought with Li Yuntian, Cui Hui knew in his heart that it would be difficult to convict Li Yuntian for a while based on the testimony of Shi An and the others, and he needed to do something from those accounts, and now that the accounts were gone, his next move would undoubtedly be greatly affected.
"You immediately take someone and go to his back house to search for dirty silver!" After muttering for a while, Cui Hui immediately made a decision and ordered Xu Cheng in a deep voice.
Since the accounts of the Chen family, the Zheng family and the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce are gone, he can only start from Li Yuntian's mansion and plant a sum of money to Li Yuntian during the search, so that Li Yuntian will not be able to tell the source of the money at that time, which is also a helpless move to make amends.
"Xia Guan understands!" Xu Cheng knew what Cui Hui meant, nodded at him, and walked away quickly.
Qi Wanlong and Feng Kui glanced at each other, although they didn't know what was going on, but it seemed that Cui Hui's face was not very good.
"Ascension, take the plaintiff!" Cui Hui calmed down, put down the teacup, patted the startled wood, and shouted loudly.
Hearing this, the people who were buzzing in the courtyard outside the hall suddenly quieted down, and Qi Wanlong and Feng Kui also looked curiously at the entrance on the side of the hall, wondering who the other two people who had sued Li Yuntian besides Shi An. One
