Chapter 138: Who's the Boss?
After a case is completed, this can be regarded as a first-class major event in Lihong County, Guo Xiaochun was beheaded later, and there are no more days left, unless there is any evidence to overturn the previous evidence, otherwise Guo Xiaochun will die.
Now everyone can see the courage of this new county master, how can Guo Xiaochun's case be just that life, everyone is waiting, if Guo Xiaochun's evidence is overturned, then they will continue to sue up, before there was just little hope, but now as long as they make a contribution, they can take revenge, and everyone is also working hard, just waiting to see Guo Xiaochun's head fall to the ground.
Xiao Zhi didn't get complacent here, Guo Linjiang didn't want to watch the only male of the Guo family's junior die like this, and he would definitely have to make some small moves in the future.
"In the past few days, you can't just put Sun Fang in the cell, Lin San and Lin Si, the two of you take turns to guard it, you must keep an eye on people, so as not to let people be dropped!" Xiao Zhi said.
"Yes!" Lin San and Lin Si received the order and hurriedly went to the cell.
Sun Fang in the cell was helpless when he saw the two catchers staring at him day and night, and he couldn't blame Xiao Zhi for not trusting him, he really had a criminal record.
"There is such a prisoner in this cell, three people look at it, it seems that this scourge is not a simple death, it has to be tossed!" Lin San said.
Lin San is the one who teased Xi Hongdou before, since he followed Xiao Zhi, when he saw Xi Hongdou, he hurriedly avoided it, for fear of touching the moldy head Xi Hongdou and turning over the old accounts.
Guo Xiaochun screamed in the cell, he didn't want to die, no matter what happened before, his uncle would clean up the mess, it didn't make sense now!
"Let me out, as long as you let me go, my uncle will be able to pay as much as he wants!" Guo Xiaochun shouted inside, and the three of them heard it harshly.
Sun Fang knew that Guo Xiaochun was dead, and the county magistrate had a sentence of beheading after the autumn, which could make this Lihong County completely blow up the temple, and the sky changed!
Lin San and Lin Si were too lazy to move, let Guo Xiaochun roar and scream there, and Sun Fang was also quiet and accustomed to this quiet place, so he went directly to Guo Xiaochun's, and said through the prison door: "Okay Guo Shao, don't shout, those two over there are people from the county master, even if you shout in your voice, they won't pay attention to you." ”
Guo Xiaochun saw that Sun Fang was willing to ignore him, so he said: "You go and tell my uncle, let my uncle save me, my uncle must have a heavy reward!" ”
Sun Fang laughed directly: "How can I have such ability?" I'm just a dog, Guo Shaoniao doesn't bird my dog, where do I deserve to find Master Guo?! He followed what Guo Xiaochun said about him before, Guo Xiaochun felt that if he gave him a few money, he would be able to serve like a slave, if he didn't offend the Guo family, how could he take care of a living ancestor like Guo Xiaochun? It's different now, Guo Xiaochun is a death row prisoner, what is he afraid of?
"Surnamed Sun, you want wings at this time, right?" Guo Xiaochun saw that Sun Fang's face changed so quickly, so he gritted his teeth and said, "You are not even our Guo family's dog, you dare to talk to me like this?!" ”
"Hey, hey, Guo Shaodu is already a prisoner, and his voice is not small!" Sun Fang smiled: "Don't call anymore, noisy with your grandfather and me, be careful that you don't have to eat!" After saying that, he left in a hurry!
Guo Xiaochun really didn't expect that he could really fall to this point, a jailer he didn't look at it before, and now he dares to be so arrogant in front of him!
"I'm going to have my uncle kill you!" Guo Xiaochun roared, he was about to go crazy in this prison, he didn't see the light of day all day, and the days of waiting for death were too painful.
Outside, although Xiao Zhi has gained a firm foothold in this case, it is not easy to handle things after that, after all, he offended the Taishou of Shuobei Prefecture, and his boss at the top was directly dumped by him, and he will definitely be "wearing small shoes" after that.
Sure enough, two days later, Master Liang came again, still looking like a smiling tiger, and said: "Lord Xiao has handled a big case not long after taking office, and the people's reputation is also good. ”
Xiao Zhi is not scared, he just wears small shoes, and he also knows that he crushes people to death at the level of the official university, and he doesn't see much else in Kyoto City, but he still knows about this officialdom game.
"Master Liang, wait a minute, I'll prepare some light salutes before leaving." After Xiao Zhi finished speaking, he went back to the inner hall first.
Xi Hongdou overheard it just now, Xiao Zhi followed to see that Taishou, it was obvious that this was the Hongmen Banquet!
"It's going to be fine, what if you don't like it and kill you?" Xi Hongdou is worried that if the county magistrate hangs himself, Xiao Zhi will not be persecuted, right? !
Xiao Zhi smiled: "No, it's not so easy to harm me!" ”
Xi Hongdou hurriedly said: "Don't eat indiscriminately, it's easy to be poisoned!" ”
"No, if I kill him, he can't eat and walk around, kill the court officials, even if it is the emperor, he must have a name!" Xiao Zhi smiled: "I can be too guarded, but I cherish my feathers even more!" "Otherwise, he wouldn't have let just one of the chief bookkeepers come over that day, but he would have stopped him himself, but it is clear that this Taishou would not have destroyed the city wall for the sake of a little squire!
Xi Hongdou watched Xiao Zhi get into the carriage, and her heart was full of worry, but Lin Da and Liu Fu directly put on the clothes of the little maid and followed together, she could feel a little more at ease.
Xiao Zhi had just arrived at Taishou Mansion here, and as soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw Guo Linjiang, and his expression froze for a while before returning to normal.
Master Liang led people in, and as soon as Xiao Zhi saw Taishou, he said, "I've seen Lord Xue." ”
Taishou Xue Ling was born in a family, with a "kind smile" on his face, and when he saw Xiao Zhi, he said: "Lord Xue is really young and promising, sit down, you have only been in Shuobei for a short time, and it is estimated that you have not appreciated the characteristics of Shuobei, and today the official is also doing a good job of the friendship of the landlord." ”
Xiao Zhi looked at the table, a large table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, not to mention more than 20 dishes, the table is not small, as for the value of this table, he knows it at a glance, it must be a lot of money.
Guo Linjiang also came in at this time, and said, "It's really annoying." ”
Xue Ling directly asked Guo Linjiang to take a seat, and said, "They are all my distinguished guests, why be polite?" ”
The three of them sat behind the wine table, although Xiao Zhi hated this feeling in his heart, but he couldn't show it on the surface, and his face was stiff, which was really not good-looking.
Xue Ling looked at Xiao Zhi's expression, and muttered a little in his heart, he knew Xiao Zhi's background, Xue Zheng was already a quasi-household secretary, and the rank of the Beijing official was not low, even if it was the same grade, there was no comparison between the magistrate and the Beijing official. He also has to give the face of the Xiao family, but this Xiao Zhi is like this, as if he has been wronged, he is Xiao Zhi's top boss, and it turns out as if Xiao Zhi is his boss.
"Why doesn't Lord Xiao move his chopsticks?" Xue Ling asked.
Xiao Zhi said: "Today, the lower officials think that there is an official negotiation, if not, the lower officials will be useless, and it will not be easy for Lord Xue to have this meal of wine and food." With that, he got up and stepped aside.
Xue Ling saw that Xiao Zhi was still energetic, so he could only say: "Why is Lord Xiao so restrained, today is only a private family banquet." ”
"If Lord Xue doesn't have official business, I won't bother Lord Xue to entertain guests, and the next official will leave." Xiao Zhi said and turned around and was about to leave.
Guo Linjiang felt that this Xiao Zhi was very difficult to entangle, and he was afraid that he really couldn't be soft if he wanted to.
Xue Ling said at this time: "Lord Xiao stays!" At this time, the tone has also begun to be tough, and if he is not tough, I am afraid that he will not be able to suppress this Xiao Zhi.
Xiao Zhi turned his head and asked, "What else is going on with Lord Xue?" ”
"Sit down first, we have something to talk about." Xue Ling said that people have already seen his purpose, and if he doesn't say it directly, he doesn't want to stay. I have received the money, and I have to do the drama that should be done, I really say that Xiao Zhi is not in the oil and salt, and Guo Linjiang is also present, so I can't blame him for not contributing when the time comes!
Xiao Zhi sat down, he could do this step too much, he was also an old fox, he couldn't really have an elm head, he felt that he could go far by relying on his righteousness, and the only way to subdue the fox was to be more fox than a fox.
Seeing that Xiao Zhi was finally able to sit down, Xue Ling said: "Lord Xiao first came here, I'm afraid I don't know how powerful this place is, although the Guo family is domineering, but it has also relieved a lot of pressure on the taxes here, how many years has Lihong County been poor, and the people can't pay much in taxes, can this court talk to you about anything else?" The taxes are uneven, does Lord Xiao think this black gauze hat can be worn for a long time? He doesn't beat around the bush anymore, and he has also realized the "attitude" of the Guo family, now there is only Xiao Zhi alone, is it useful to get the reputation of the people? It is naturally a political achievement to be an official!
When Xiao Zhi heard this, he smiled and said, "Then Master Guo is really a great contribution?" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Guo Linjiang said with a smile: "It is also the purpose of my generation to benefit one party, my nephew is just a mistake and hurts people, I hope that adults can be accommodating, if adults can help one or two, see the tax of Lihong County, my Guo family can cover it all!" ”
Xiao Zhi also felt amazing, how many families does the Guo family have? A county's annual tax can be said to be packaged?!
"It's normal for ordinary people to do business and pay taxes, how can Master Guo be so bankrupt?" Xiao Zhi smiled, but he also refused in a tone, he really said that he lowered his head this time, and he didn't have to be a parent official in the future, it was definitely a trick, but he became the grandson of the Guo family!
Guo Linjiang saw that Xiao Zhi refused to let go, so he said: "My lord, you are young and promising, if you affect your political performance because of insufficient taxes, you will be reprimanded at best, and at worst, I am afraid that it will not be guaranteed. ”
Xiao Zhi smiled and said: "Master Guo really thinks a lot about me, but the Lihong County governed by this official is naturally different from before, and I am not rejecting Master Guo thousands of miles away, and I will use the place where Master Guo can be used in the future, so I naturally hope that Master Guo can help one or two." Just when Guo Linjiang thought that this thing could be done, Xiao Zhi continued: "It's just that the case set by this official will not be changed, and today's public grievances Master Guo should also understand that if the verdict is changed, it will be a discredit to the court and the imperial power." "In other words, Guo Xiaochun should die or die, if you Master Guo wants to have a good relationship with him, it will naturally be good, anyway, he Xiao Zhi is not a stingy person!
