Chapter 245: Eliminate Harm for the People!
The sound of the carriage was accompanied by the sound of the iron armor of the hundreds of city lords' guards resounding by the city gate.
The city gate guards at the gate saw such an imposing battle, and the city lord's well-equipped guards and the aura of innate masters did not stop them much.
And they looked at the red horse about two meters high, the jade curtain sedan chair, and thought that the city lord was coming!
This is the castle lord's exclusive car!
For a while, they hurriedly gave in and let Zhang Feng's sedan chair pass.
I didn't expect that in fact, the official position of the person in the sedan chair was higher than that of the city lord, he was the governor of the south sent by the imperial court, and he was the god who prayed for rain for them a few days ago!
In the car, Zhang Fengduan sat on the seat, and after entering the city, he looked at a city lord guard outside the car and said, "Where is the county government of Xiaoliu County in the city?" ”
"Back to my lord!" The guard clasped his fist on his horse and saluted, "My subordinates have been to Koyanagi County.."
"Go to the county office." Zhang Feng nodded, and his divine sense swept across the entire county, froze on a street in the south of the county fifteen miles away.
The guard also stepped forward and gave the driver a word to the driver, and it was in that direction that he was instructed.
The county government is there.
Zhang Feng heard that the guards were right, and he also closed his eyes and waited for the convoy to arrive.
Since you want to rectify corrupt officials, you have to show the momentum of a court official.
Wait for the sedan chair to come to the gate of the county office.
Ma Xianling has already run out of the courtyard and is greeting him at the door.
Zhang Feng lifted the curtain and looked over, and saw that Ma Xianling was really like a corrupt official on TV, with big shoulders and round waist, and his official uniform was round.
Now when he complimented his arrival, he smiled, and his eyes narrowed into a line.
"Ma County Order." Zhang sealed the sedan chair and refused his support with a virtual hand.
"You are. Sheet.. Governor?! "Ma Xianling went to the rain praying platform a few days ago and saw Zhang Feng's appearance.
At this time, he heard that since the governor knew him and knew his surname, he was very excited, and he couldn't wait to kowtow to Zhang Feng a few times now to show his loyalty!
It's just that there are still a lot of pedestrians on the street at this time.
In order not to disturb his majesty, Ma Xian Ling resisted the idea of kowtowing and pursuing, and said with a polite and enthusiastic appearance: "My lord has been traveling all the way, are you here to check the rain in our county?" ”
Ma County's order is full of officialdom, and he has a clean and honest image.
For many governors, this image is a good official, much better than patting on the back.
Ma Xianling knows this well.
"Hmm." Zhang Feng glanced at the people, and when he saw that they hated and feared Ma Xianling's eyes in their eyes, he understood something better.
First, the Ma County Order is not the first day of power.
Second, the people are like some honest people on the Blue Star in their previous lives, and they dare not expose the actions of some bullies.
Even as governors, they didn't dare to say much.
It's no wonder that when he hates the county order, he will follow himself.
Because they are afraid that officials will protect each other, and they are even more afraid that after the report, they will suffer in the end.
"Your Excellency.." Ma Xian Ling didn't know that the governor was here to touch him, but he politely invited: "My lord, I have ordered someone to prepare some wine and food in the mansion, and please sweep the dust first."
"I will definitely go." Zhang Feng didn't know when he saw that the Ma County Order was coming, but reminded him: "Now that the governor is here, he wants to investigate the corruption and perversion of the law by the Ma County Order, and he also asked the Ma County Order to take off his official uniform and take out the token." ”
"Your Excellency!" When Ma Xianling heard that the governor was here to investigate him and wanted to demote him to his official position, he suddenly felt a sigh in his heart, his smile froze suddenly, and he changed to a pitiful and innocent appearance, begging for mercy: "You can't dismiss the lower official for no reason, saying that the lower official is corrupt!" ”
When Ma Xianling said this, he glanced around, and the people nearby didn't dare to look at each other, "Please also ask your Excellency to be clear!" Today.. Today must be the villain framing the lower officials! ”
"Ma County's order is right." Zhang Fengshen nodded approvingly, and said to the city lord next to him: "Take it into the prison, and this governor will personally interrogate it." ”
The dungeon is in the backyard of the yamen.
Waiting for the guards to drag the Ma County Order who was stripped of his official uniform, he came to the torture room of the dungeon.
Zhang Feng sat leisurely on the bench of the dungeon, looked at Ma Xianling who was dragged to him, and finally asked, "Isn't Ma Xianling still recruited?" ”
"Your Excellency.." Ma Xian Ling looked at the torture instruments around him, as well as the jailers who were kicked out, and suddenly kowtowed: "My lord! The subordinate officials have always acted in accordance with the law, and have never bent the law for personal gain! ”
"Oh?" Zhang Feng picked up an iron rod next to him, and looked at Ma Xianling's blood-blooded and fearless appearance for the country and the people, and immediately handed the iron rod to the guard next to him.
"Hit. Fight until he gives the evidence. ”
..
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
A news came out of the prison and the county office, saying that at about five o'clock in the afternoon, the governor who prayed for rain for them a few days ago was going to interrogate the county's Ma County Order!
This news made many people look incredulous, not believing that the Ma County Order, which was 'someone in the court', had been arrested and tried again?
That's a big deal!
For a while, many people went to the yamen early, wanting to see this case trial.
I want to know how this Lord Zhang and Governor Zhang tried the case, and whether he would bring Ma County to justice.
When the time is approaching, five o'clock.
The people gathered outside the county government did see that Ma Xianling was stripped of his official uniform, wearing a loose suit, and was carried in from outside the hall.
It's just that his white clothes are stained with blood, and his nose and face are swollen, so that outsiders can see that he was tortured in the dungeon, and even tortured into tricks.
Otherwise, in just half an hour, it would be impossible to finalize the case and ascend to the court so quickly.
Including the injury of the county order now, this discerning person can see that there is a problem!
Beating up the officials of the imperial court, this is a big deal!
Something bigger than corruption and perverting the law!
The Dali Temple in the imperial capital didn't dare to come like this!
However, after the people outside the hall saw the appearance of the Ma County Order, they did not feel that Governor Zhang had 'beaten the Ma County Order into a trick'.
On the contrary, they all know that the county order is corrupt and embezzles farmland, so they should only fight!
It's best to die in the dungeon, this is even more harmful to their county!
"The governor prays for rain for our Hualiu City, he is our life-saving benefactor, and he is a god!"
At this time, there was an old gentleman in the crowd who sighed: "It's just that this county order has seized the people's land and not done personnel, which really ruined the face of Hualiucheng and the face of our Xiaoliu County..." I can't say that this year's drought is because he has done everything he lacks morality, and God will punish us."
"That's it! The old gentleman is right! "There were quite a few people who responded.
"Ma County's order does not accumulate virtue for future generations.." The people talked one after another, and no one spoke for the Ma County Order.
In addition, they also explained the matter clearly, put the guilt of Ma County Commander one by one, and made clear all the evidence of the crime that Ma County Commander told in prison.
At the same time, Ma Xianling, who knelt down in the hall, thought that he was pitiful, and the people would speak for him.
But now when he saw this scene, he heard the people all speak of his guilt.
For a while, he no longer sold pity, but suddenly bowed to Zhang Feng, who was sitting high, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Lord Governor.. Xia Guan was confused for a while.."
"I can hear you clearly." Zhang Feng glanced at the people who were slowly calming down outside the hall, took out the token in the tube, and threw it in front of Ma Xianling, "The hall doesn't need to be promoted." The evidence was conclusive, dragged out and beheaded. ”
