Chapter 13: Between the Tongue and the Tongue
Yeshun looked at the box of belongings and was stunned. Silk silk alas, gold alas, white jade alas, how much is this worth? There's always a lot of money, right...... I can't imagine that these corrupt officials are really generous. Well, it is estimated that they bite rather than the case, in their opinion, it is the dismissal of the superintendent. This is good, very good, very good, this is much more profitable than the ordinary first law of the county - Cheng Li claims to be a capable official, so he can't think of this kind of clever plan, or Lao Tzu...... Does Lao Tzu have the natural qualifications of corrupt officials?
What should I do with it? The county order and Cheng used to impeach Chengyang? Then you have to hand over your belongings, but it's a pity. Although Cao Cao gave himself the village and the land, after all, no one would be afraid of the money, and he is different from others, he still has a lot to do, to improve papermaking, to invent gunpowder, to invent stir-frying...... If there is not enough funding for scientific research, nothing can be done. Do you want to just take it? Those corrupt officials will suffer retribution one day, and they don't have to take off their black veils by themselves, besides, even if they are impeached, they can't save Ning's life, right?
Oh, wait, but in this way, I have become a corrupt official, will I also suffer any retribution? …… Ahh
He couldn't help but wipe his saliva, turned his head to look at Lu Hong, and saw that the guy's face was sinking like water, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking with his hands arched. Looking at Wu Zhen again, I saw that the other party's eyes only showed anger and sadness - anger, probably because Chengyang was so generous in bribes, it can be seen that the amount of corruption will not be small; grief, probably because he thought that he couldn't save Ning's life after all......
Lu Hong is a person who is unknown in history, but this time he followed him to Chengyang County, his sober mind and the old and spicy things are very commendable, which is much more reliable than Wu Qian, who will be ranked as a general and Xuan He for a while in the future, but has not grown up at all now. I can be regarded as having picked up a treasure, how can I get him from Cheng Li and follow him for a long time? Do you want to move their hearts with wealth first? Well, there are tens of thousands of dollars here, so I will divide him three or five thousand first......
Wu Zhen may not be easy to buy, he was born in a single family, and he was able to climb so high because of fate, and he was by no means able to succeed by bending the law for bribes. Especially this child is still young, full of unrealistic Qinggao, and even writing the first spring poem to sigh the horror of the troubled times, the suffering of the people, and it is estimated that it is difficult to move his heart. This one...... The spoils are unevenly distributed, and this money is a little hot in your hand......
Thinking about it again, what is Wu Zhen's identity now? It's just a small wandering, even if he doesn't share a dime from him, does he dare to sue himself? I don't dare to borrow 10,000 guts from him. Besides, Lao Tzu is kind to the Cao family, and now in Yanzhou, who can sue Lao Tzu?!
Thinking about it this way, Lao Tzu can get this money. When his greed was blazing, his eyes suddenly couldn't help but glance at Guan Si who was guarding the door-Damn, how can I ...... this fiancée Ah no, the fiancé forgot about it? These Yellow Turban remnants probably hate corrupt officials the most, if she were a corrupt official, she wouldn't really use the knife and take off her arms...... Don't talk about Yang Guo, can't even Yang Xiu escape the fate of the "Condor Hero" after all?
In fact, Xiao Luoli is a little fierce, she saved the lives of her father and daughter after all, she will not really use the knife on herself...... But in this way, I am afraid that I will break off my righteousness from now on. Thinking that this little Luo Li might one day leave a disdainful look and abandon herself, Shixun couldn't help but feel a faint pain in her heart.
What did he do with Lord Wei of the Great Qing Dynasty? is greedy and perverts the law, plus he is still a dog official in the Qing court, and he even took the Heaven and Earth Association from Mu Wangfu and accepted so many concubines, all of whom were desperate for him. Lord Wei is really a model for my generation, the mountains are upright, and it is difficult to reach his old man's crooked talents......
Thinking of this, Shixun couldn't help but raise his hand and slapped himself hard - bastard, you should come to your senses quickly!
Lu Hong raised his head when he heard the sound and smiled slightly: "Wealth is moving." However, it seems that the chief has made up his mind, and he will not fall into the trap of those traitorous officials. ”
Shi Xun breathed a long sigh of relief and waved his hand: "Seal it up first, I will write a letter to the prince of the palace to impeach these two corrupt officials." After thinking about it, he said, "Don't worry, the gift from the county lieutenant hasn't been delivered yet." ”
As soon as the words fell, someone outside the door said: "Chengyang County Lieutenant Huang Xuan, ask to see the superintendent." ”
The county lieutenant led the troops, seemingly a military attaché, but in fact his duty was only to "catch thieves", not to go into battle, and after 2,000 years, it belonged to the public security system, not the army system. Therefore, Huang County Lieutenant wore a crown on his head instead of a curtain, a deep robe, and a long sword instead of a ring knife at his waist. In particular, his appearance is clear, and he is more like a scribe than Geng County Ling and Tu County Cheng.
After the visit was over, two words of greeting, Huang County Lieutenant apologized repeatedly, saying that he had just come back from outside the city, only to know that the Lu Dao Governor had come to the county, and he was unprepared. When he was finished, he looked left and right and asked, "I heard that Shangguan had suggested that he would rather come to interrogate, but I don't know if the question is over?" This person has been sentenced to death, and it is better to be escorted back to prison at night. ”
When Shi Xun heard this, he couldn't help but snort coldly: "This is not what you should ask." "You're just a pure public security chief plus a militia captain, no matter the trial, no matter the prison, shouldn't you take Ning back and lock up your! Unexpectedly, this guy has a smart face and doesn't understand the art of language at all, and he is 108,000 miles worse than Geng County Ling and Tu County Cheng. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but stab him casually: "I heard that Ning Ke is Your Excellency's brother-in-law?" ”
County Lieutenant Huang showed embarrassment: "This ...... Originally, he thought that ......" He suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Although he and Ning are not compatriots, after all, they have the status of brother and sister, and they are very sad to hear that he has committed a serious crime, and I want to see him before the execution, and I hope that the chief Yucheng will be there." ”
It's Xun Xin who said yes, although this statement is still full of loopholes, after all, it is a little more artistic than just now, probably someone else taught you, right? But who are you deceiving, don't mention it first, you framed your wife and brother, and wanted to rob his family property, just saying that it would rather be detained than a day or two, and if you really want to be executed, you have to wait until after the autumn, your wife will not see you sooner or later, I will want to see it when I bring it over, the reason is too far-fetched, right?
But he didn't have the heart to expose County Lieutenant Huang, so he just pouted and smiled deliberately: "It's late today, and wait for tomorrow." "As if that means: you give the gift first.
Huang County Lieutenant had no choice but to retreat. Shi Xun sat in front of the case, still thinking about how to impeach Cheng Yang and the gang of three when he received a bribe from Huang County Lieutenant tomorrow, Wu Zhen suddenly ran in and said that he would rather want to meet the superintendent and report something important.
The place where Shixun is resting now is in the side courtyard of the Chengyang County Office, and there are three or four rooms, and he would rather be detained in another room. At the moment, after listening to Wu Zhen's report, it was Xun Zhuo who would rather ask questions in the afternoon, except for mourning and crying, and asking for help, he couldn't say a few useful words, why did he want to see himself again at this time? Could it be that he finally remembered where his contract might have been hidden?
Hurriedly asked Wu Zhen to escort Ning over over. Rather than knelt on the ground as soon as they met, pleading with a handful of snot and tears: "Please save the life of the little people, the little people are willing to devote all their wealth to the chief!" ”
Ah, it's Xun Xin who said this is good, as long as he saves a small life, the family wealth will be his own! This was offered by him on his own initiative, not by me to coerce and blackmail, it doesn't seem to be a bribe...... But there is one thing, you have to really turn his case over, otherwise you will be happy in vain, and after all, it will be a bamboo basket for nothing.
But how should the case be overturned? Otherwise, he simply forged a contract of the year, anyway, the fraud that Geng County ordered to play is not necessarily very clever. He turned his head to look at Lu Hong, who stroked his beard and was silent, and then looked at Wu Zhen, and found that Wu Zhen was also staring at him, his eyes seemed to be full of pleading......
He's meowing, you're looking at me with sincerity! You'd better get me a way to overturn the case!
At the moment, he was patient and interrogated the whole story of the case, mainly the relationship with the old man next door, and interrogated him from beginning to end, but unfortunately he still failed to find any points that were enough to overturn the case. Damn, I knew that Lu Dao would have studied the "Han Law" first, why did he just think about reading the history books of "Han Shu" and "Dongguan Hanji" in the past few months, but I didn't expect to dabble in laws and regulations? Loophole, this is a big loophole in my own learning, and I have to fill it up quickly after I go back.
But when I got back, it was too late. Although the death penalty is generally carried out after the autumn, theoretically it is better to have more than half a year to overturn the case, but it is impossible for him to stay in Chengyang County to watch him for most of the year, as long as he is escorted back to prison, it is estimated that Huang County Lieutenant and they will immediately poison him. Otherwise, why did County Lieutenant Huang want to bring Ning back several times, or want outsiders to contact him?
If you want Ning to live, you have to quickly turn the case over and let him go home. After all, the Ning family is a big clan in the county, and they have a lot of property, as long as they return home, County Lieutenant Huang will not be very good at doing anything to him - if those guys had the courage and ability, they would have murdered Ning a long time ago, and they still need to make a big fuss about an accident case?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Lu Hong again, and said in his heart that this guy has rich experience in politics, and maybe he also has some research on the law. If you really want to turn over Ning's case, you can't catch it, and Wu Zhen's young man can't count on it, unless it's your brother...... If you can't come up with a way, then we have to talk to Ning Ke and his thousands of family fortunes.
Lu Hong bumped into Shi Xun's gaze and understood what the other party was thinking, so he twisted his beard and replied with a frown: "Actually, it's not difficult to overturn the case, but if it is blunt and unreasonable, I'm afraid that the political voice of the chief will not be good, and I'm afraid that Cao Jiyin will despise the chief from now on." ”
Shi Xun pointed to his mouth: "The so-called truth does not lie in the sky, nor in the heart, but only between the tongue." ”
Lu Hong stroked his palm and smiled: "If the chief can have this understanding, things will be much easier." ”
