Chapter 244: Midnight Arrest
On the day when the matter started, the magistrate finally couldn't sit still and was promoted to the office.
After some interrogation and hearing the truth, the county magistrate was also angry, and immediately arranged for the county governor in charge of the criminal name, Mr. Zhang, to find out the case, and immediately sent someone to Qinghe Village to summon the defendant to the court for trial.
Master Zhang sent the messenger to Qinghe Village, and then said that it was too late, so he could only bring people over and detain them first, and wait until tomorrow morning to try the case.
The magistrate Jiang agreed, announced his withdrawal from the court, and tried the case early tomorrow morning.
Liang Qiyuan waited in the mansion for the next person to return, couldn't help sneering, and said to Liu: "Young people are just not sensible, and they don't look at what kind of place this is, whether they can afford to provoke people, so they play prestige." Okay, how do I see him end? I will take a letter of resignation tomorrow, inform my brother-in-law of this matter, and let my brother-in-law come forward to impeach Jiang Yifan and completely collapse Jiang Yifan. Maybe my brother-in-law can still please the powerful man in the capital because of this matter, and after the incident, my sister and brother-in-law will have to thank me. ”
Liang Qiyuan's dream did not come true The next day, at midnight, a team of messengers quietly surrounded Liang's house.
Someone stepped forward to call the door, and as soon as the door opened, a group of officials and officials broke in, and walked all the way inside, stopping the subordinates who were patrolling the night all the way, staying in place and not allowing them to walk at will.
The leading officer summoned a mother-in-law, asked where Liang Qiyuan was resting, and went directly to the courtyard of Liang Qiyuan's concubine, without saying anything, he pulled Liang Qiyuan up from the kang, first gagged him, then drank the concubine's crying, tied Liang Qiyuan a few times and escorted him out. During the whole process, Liang Qiyuan didn't even have a chance to speak out, and when he was escorted away, he didn't see clearly what was going on in front of him.
The few people who patrolled the Liang Mansion at night had never seen such a formation, and they were watched by the wolf-like officials, trembling like chaff, watching their eldest master being tied up and taken away.
When Liu heard movement in the courtyard, Liang Qiyuan had already been escorted away, and the subordinates who were able to move around reported that the eldest master had been kidnapped by the official messenger, and the county lieutenant Lord Zhang was waiting for the eldest grandmother to speak in the outer courtyard.
Liu was shocked, shook his hands, dressed up with the help of the maid and mother-in-law, and went to the meeting room to meet the officials that people talked about.
Zhang Yue, the county lieutenant, looked normal, in his thirties, and watched Liu come in, although he bowed down and hugged his fists, there was a sarcasm in his eyes that could not be concealed.
Since her husband's sister-in-law took office in Yuyuan County, the Liu family met in Qingyuan County, and this way from the inner courtyard, the panicked mood calmed down a little. At this time, when I saw the official errand again, the sense of superiority in my heart rose, although the aftermath of the trembling on my body was still there, but my tone was tough.
"Dare to be this official, where is my master? How is your forcible entry into a house late at night like a robber? ”
Zhang Yue's face was serious, and he said in a proper manner: "I am here to inform the grandmother of the Liang family that the county government of Qingyuan County has found out that Uncle Liang has bought many people and his family and friends, gathered people to collide with the court, and has now been pressed into prison, waiting for the trial to be held early tomorrow morning." If the facts are conclusive, Liang Qiyuan's crime is a crime of rebellion, and the crime should be beheaded and his family will be harmed. The lower officials specially came to inform them that before the case was heard clearly and the case was closed, the Liang Mansion was already under the custody of the Yamen, and the people in the palace were not allowed to enter and leave at will. ”
Liu's face immediately changed greatly, her own lord bought the ruffian to find trouble with the snack shop, she knew it, and then arranged for someone to go to the county government to shout injustice and make trouble, she also knew. But can this be a rebellion? If the disaster affects the family, will the whole family be dragged to be killed?
"This, this, this, how can this be a rebellion?" Liu stumbled and said, and suddenly remembered that his family still had a life talisman, "The official knows that my lord's brother-in-law is Lord Zhou, the prefect of Yuyuan County." You fabricate accusations like this, aren't you afraid that the officials will investigate them? ”
Zhang Yue sneered: "The eldest grandmother of the Liang family is too worried. If it is confirmed that Uncle Liang did gather people to storm the yamen and indeed wanted to rebel, then it really depends on how Lord Zhou handles this case. If Lord Zhou can report it in time, and Lord Zhou's superiors are kind and open-minded people, it is possible that Lord Zhou will not be held accountable. ”
My sister-in-law is also guilty? Will it be so serious that it will even affect my sister and brother-in-law? Liu's legs were weak, and if it weren't for the strong support of the grandmother next to him, he would almost sit on the ground.
"The grandmother of the Liang family remembers to restrain her subordinates, and they are not allowed to come and go at will unless necessary. If you add a crime of hooking up and connecting the inside, your Uncle Liang and your Liang Mansion will have one more crime. ”
Zhang Yue dropped this sentence and turned to leave.
This Liang family really doesn't know the severity, Lord Zhou is a Shangguan, and his official position is big enough. But he Zhang Yue was on duty in the yamen, and he had seen with his own eyes that when Lord Zhou inspected Qingyuan County, he was respectful and cautious to Shangrong Sixth Master. But he has even seen the casualness of Master Jiang, who served in the small Qipin Zhi County, to Rong Liuye.
Master Jiang has always been meticulous and resolute in his work, since he dared to arrest Liang Qiyuan, he must have planned all kinds of possibilities, how could he not know that Lord Zhou and the Liang family have such an obvious in-law relationship?
The former magistrate of Qingyuan County was dismissed by the imperial court because of the chaos in county affairs, and the Jiang people came for less than half a year, so they sorted out the county affairs and personnel that the previous one had not straightened out for two years.
He clearly remembered that when Lord Jiang inspected the grain depot, the warden in charge of Qian Gu belonged to a reckless man, who was instructed by the warden to provoke and clash with Lord Jiang. As a result, such a tall and strong fat man was stuck by the neck of the little guy next to Master Jiang, and he was thrown against the wall, and he didn't slow down for a long time.
Since then, no one who has been rectified by Lord Jiang has ever had crooked thoughts.
The Liang family has been rooted in Qingyuan County for so many years, and they don't even have a serious eyeliner, and they don't inquire, so they dare to attack Master Jiang, who is fat enough and stupid enough.
However, then again, it's precisely because of the lack of eyeliner that such stupid things are done.
Zhang Yue stood in the outer courtyard of the Liang family and beckoned his subordinates: "It's been accepted, except for the guards at the door, they are all back." Go back and have a good rest, and you have to open a government office to ask about the case early tomorrow morning. ”
Early the next morning, the county government opened its door early and began to ask questions.
The case was a very simple question, and he did not see any of the owners of the snack shop, but first settled the plaintiffs who had come early to wait for the yamen to administer justice, and asked them to stand aside in order. There were two rows of people in a mess, but no one noticed that there were a few people missing from the plaintiff's crowd.
After that, the magistrate ascended to the court, and as soon as the adult sat down, he slapped the shocked wood with a calm face, and reprimanded him bitterly, but he didn't expect that Qingyuan County, which has simple folk customs, would have such evil things and villains.
Immediately afterwards, the county lieutenant stated loudly that the errand officer who was supposed to inspect the case of framing good people in a snack shop actually found out that this public grievance entanglement was actually someone who maliciously used silver to motivate traitors and aimed at storming the court. The officers followed the clues and caught several suspects involved. Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
