Chapter 276: Anxious and Angry
Pan Wenchang drank a lot of alcohol yesterday, and he started a little late today.
He was originally a county school teacher, and he came to the county government to help, so it didn't hurt to be late.
After all, he is an official, and he does not have a fixed working hour on weekdays, so he relies on consciousness.
It's just that there have been a lot of things recently, and everyone is very busy, and there are endless things to do, so few people arrive late and leave early.
When he came to the county office, Pan Wenchang wanted to go to his room in the back hall to do things, but was stopped.
Guo Tie, the official of the soap class, said that Jiang Long had a summons from the front hall.
Pan Wenchang didn't think much about it after hearing this, but unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the threshold, he saw Wei Yong and others who were being tortured.
At this moment, the clothes on the waists of Wei Yong and the others had been beaten to tatters, oozing bloodstains.
And the most terrifying thing is that all six of them are bleeding, with more air coming out and less air intake.
Pan Wenchang had a ghost in his heart, and when he saw the six people falling, his frightened legs trembled, and his face was like earth.
Jiang Long glanced at Pan Wenchang when he heard the voice, and then looked at Wei Yong and the others, and saw that the six people below were already seriously injured and difficult to recover, so he asked the torturer to stop.
directly beat people to death in the lobby, which has a bad reputation.
Take a breath of relief, and even if you carry it home left and right, there is no cure.
"Pan Wenchang, are you guilty?"
Jiang Long's voice came, Pan Wenchang's frightened legs trembled violently, and he knelt down as soon as his knees were weak, he was already timid, but at this time, seeing Wei Yong and others being beaten like this, it was obvious that he couldn't survive, where did he dare to say anything more and say a word?
"The lower official is guilty."
"Now that you have been convicted, you should immediately recruit the arch and sign it."
"Yes."
Pan Wenchang told Peng Xi and others who took the initiative to come to the door one by one, and then pressed his handprint on the confession.
"Someone, take off Pan Wenchang's official robe!" Jiang Long said coldly: "Originally, seeing that your recent performance has been very good, this official thinks that the development momentum of the county town is good for a while, and the county school can no longer be abandoned, and I want to recruit students from the new county school."
I will leave the county school to you to take care of.
I'll have a few more deputies for you...... But I don't want the official to look away.
You are a person who is familiar with poetry and books, quite knowledgeable, and has studied the words of sages all your life, how can you ignore the laws of the court and the axioms of heaven for a little money? ”
"Shame on the grass people!" Pan Wenchang, who was stripped of his official robe and only wore an underwear, was extremely embarrassed, and was severely reprimanded by Jiang Long, and he was ashamed for a while.
At the same time, it is also a regret that Jiang Long has already intended to rebuild the county school and recruit students.
With Jiang Long's handwriting, the county school will inevitably be built in a tall and majestic manner, and it is thriving, and this great opportunity is actually missed and passed by.
"You are already old, and you helped the county government a while ago, this official will only report that he has taken your position as a teacher this time, and will no longer beat you on the board, so you can step down." Although Pan Wenchang was greedy, he was moved in the end, and in addition to secretly copying the store information, he didn't do any other bad things, so Jiang Long didn't do anything ruthless.
Pan Wenchang kowtowed to Jiang Long.
Slowly got up, his thin body was rickety, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
Step by step out of the lobby.
After walking out of the county office, the people on the street pointed at him, Pan Wenchang was ashamed, and hurriedly folded to the door with his sleeves covering his old face.
When she returned home, the old wife was surprised, and when she asked what had happened, she rolled her eyes and fainted.
The frightened Pan Wenchang hurriedly helped the old wife pinch people.
In the middle of the night, the old wife woke up slowly, and then washed her face with tears.
I sobbed and chattered endlessly.
Although he didn't blame Pan Wenchang, Pan Wenchang really realized that something was wrong after hearing it.
was taken an official position before, and he was deeply shocked, and Pan Wenchang didn't react for a while.
At this time, the old wife spoke, and he panicked.
If there is no errand, there will be no money to take in the future, what to eat and drink at home?
Also, this house will also be repossessed, where will I live in the future?
If you rent a house, it is another expense.
Before Jiang Long came, Pan Wenchang lived in a dilapidated county school and never worried about his residence.
Just when Pan Wen was flustered and had no master, a childish voice suddenly sounded.
"Godfather, godfather won't leave me alone!"
Pan Eun-hye, who had already changed into a new dress, wrung her fingers and said timidly.
Right!
And Master Peng!
Pan Wenchang's eyes lit up and he saw hope.
This time he will end up like this, and Peng Xi is reproaching, so Pan Wenchang immediately got up and went to find Peng Xi.
This is Lingtong County, not a county seat.
No one bothered Peng Xi to ventilate him and send him a newspaper.
Staying in the post station, Peng Xi only waited for Wei Yong and others to bring good news.
But after waiting for a long time, few people turned around.
Peng Xi is a little anxious.
But thinking that it would take a lot of time to seize the store and go to the county office to transfer the household, so he finally endured it.
A moment later.
Finally waited.
But what they waited for were six of their beaten and dying men.
"Master Peng, this is a letter sent by Master Jing, please take a look." He Dao took many of his subordinates to carry Wei Yong and the others in, then handed over the envelope, and left with the people.
Peng Xi still doesn't understand at this time, the matter has been revealed!
And Jing Jianglong didn't save any face, and he was ruthless!
Otherwise, Wei Yong and the others would not have been beaten like this.
"Help, sir." Hu Bao was confused, and his mouth instinctively begged for help.
Peng Xi just glanced at him indifferently, and then opened the letter and read it silently.
didn't read a few lines, Peng Xi's face was already blue with anger, and he clenched his fists tightly.
The content of the letter did not say that Peng Xi also broke the law, but put all the blame on the heads of Wei Yong and others, saying that the six people used Peng Xi's name to bully and deceive, Jiang Long knew very well in his heart that Zhilu Dao could not defeat Peng Xi at all just by virtue of this matter.
But he can't let Peng Xi go in vain.
So between the words, he warned Peng Xi not to know people in the future.
also mentioned that such a heavy treatment of Wei Yong and others is to make an example of a hundred!
Lest there be people who dare to come to Lingtong County here in the future to make bad ideas.
didn't say it explicitly, but he also ridiculed Peng Xi fiercely.
It's a good example!
Peng Xi was furious and tore the letter to pieces, which was obviously a slap in the face.
Damn, hateful!
It made Peng Xiqi's whole body tremble.
"Help."
"Master Peng."
"Stop fighting."
The six servants had not yet lost their breath, but they were already not far from death, and their mouths instinctively whispered.
But Peng Xi, who heard the voice, didn't care about the six of them.
Looking at the six people coldly, Peng Xi hated and scolded in his heart, a group of useless waste!
If the matter is not done, the official who is still harmed will be greatly embarrassed, what use do you want?
After sitting quietly for a long time, Peng Xicai's anger subsided slightly, and his mind began to turn.
After Jiang Long finished trying the case, he must hand an excerpt to explain what happened, Wei Yong and others are county officials, and it is not clear what they can't fight.
And the reason why Wei Yong and others were sent to the post station instead of being imprisoned was because although Wei Yong and others wanted to occupy other people's industries and had already taken action, they had not yet succeeded.
And there were no serious consequences.
If a few people confess, then at most they will lose their errands and eat a few months of imprisonment.
This is also the reason why Hu Bao wanted to confess after realizing that something was wrong in the lobby at that time.
It can delay time without serious consequences.
But he didn't want a few other people to shout, and the execution of the official was too fast, and he blocked the mouths of Hu Bao and others with rags.
Hu Bao didn't have time to confess.
Thinking that Jiang Long would hand over the excerpt, Peng Xi gasped, what would Pang Chengan think after reading the excerpt?
If he can't think of a suitable reason to shirk it, he is afraid that he will be unlucky.
Pang Chengan is not without a heart, he will not only believe that Wei Yong and others are swaggering, if he is also involved, it will be miserable.
In general, Pang Chengan is mediocre and rigid, but he is still a clean official.
If it is found that his henchmen are greedy for money behind his back and are domineering, then Peng Xi's fate will not be better than Wei Yong and others.
Pan Wenchang hurried to the post station.
Thoughts twist and turn along the way.
blamed himself, he was greedy for a while, and he wanted to take a concubine and have a son to inherit the incense as soon as possible, but he ended up like this.
Peng Xi had a headache, but when he saw Pan Wenchang coming, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Please also ask Lord Peng to save the grass people!"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Peng Xi smiled, listened to Pan Wenchang's explanation, and said generously: "Since you can't stay here, it's better to follow this official to Wangsha City." ”
"Thank you, Lord Peng!"
After Jiang Long finished trying the case, he stayed in the lobby for a while to prevent Peng Xi from coming to make trouble and be held accountable.
A moment later, He Dao came back to his life.
Hearing He Dao say, Peng Xi's face was just blue with anger, but he didn't have a seizure, and Jiang Long guessed that Peng Xi didn't plan to tear his face on the bright side.
Left the county government to do things.
Wangsha City is the county seat of Wangsha County, and the city wall is tall and majestic.
Twenty miles to the southeast outside the city, there are several luxurious courtyards, which were built by many officials of Wangsha City.
The reason why the annex was built here is that there are not only fruit trees growing on a low hill here, but also several hot springs.
The water is clear, gurgling, and warm, and it is very refreshing to soak in the spring water.
But on this day, a group of masked men attacked at night.
The masked men, numbering no less than a thousand, burst in with torches and brandished broadswords, setting fire to all these luxurious courtyards.
The flames spread, and in the middle of the night, the flames burned all over the sky.
The children of the officials who happened to enjoy themselves in the luxurious courtyard were all killed.
The slaves of the maid ring are basically fine.
Only those who dared to resist were chopped up with knives by masked men.
By the time the officers and soldiers arrived, all the masked men had retreated, and the luxurious courtyard was only a pile of broken walls.
Pang Cheng'an was furious when he got the news!
This gang of gangsters is too rampant, and they actually dare to be not far from Wangsha City, and directly attack the courtyard of the official's house.
This is provoking the imperial court!
Immediately ordered someone to summon Commander Jiang Qi to discuss the extermination of the masked man.
However, they have not yet discussed a countermeasure, and many wealthy officials in Wangshacheng County have been attacked one after another.
Three wealthy local businessmen were directly wiped out.
Six officials were beheaded by masked men.
After receiving the report, Pang Chengan was angry and anxious.
The angry man was bold and went directly against the court!
What is anxious is that if such a major incident occurs in his own jurisdiction, after reporting to the higher-ups, the higher-ups will definitely hold him accountable.
For the promotion of his career is greatly detrimental!
