Chapter 529: Unexpected

Facing Chen Letian's questioning, Cao County Ling first arched his hand to the Governor in the hall, and then said: "Lord Governor, I, Cao Someone, have been a county magistrate in Bazhong City for so many years. You know best what I have done, how much money we spend and earn every year, what we do, and what the situation of the people is like, you are no less than I know. My lord, I am afraid that you know better than you yourself what kind of official I am. At the beginning of my tenure, what kind of place was Bazhong City? How did the people live? How was the harvest in the fields? How much taxes were paid each year? Since I took office, the life of the people has become better and better every year, and the people have gone from eating meat only once a year to now eating meat more than once every half a month. I can't remember how many irrigation canals and how many rivers I dredged through Bazhong after I took office. After I took office, the annual taxes paid by Bazhong City increased year by year! Even so, I still came to the Governor every year to ask for money to go back to the people of Bazhong City. Your Excellency the Governor, am what I said true or false?"

Although the silver of the Governor's Mansion still needs to be allocated by the Shu Palace, the Shu Palace's Mansion will allocate one-third of the annual tax revenue to the Governor's Mansion as early as possible every year. Although the personal relationship between the King of Shu and the Governor is very poor, in the words of the King of Shu, no matter how bad the personal relationship is, it cannot affect official business, and what should be done still has to be done.

Therefore, every year, many county orders in Bashu Road come to the governor to ask for money, and some people who can do it not only ask the governor for it, but even run to the king of Shu to ask for it after asking the governor.

Cao Xianling's impassioned statement ended with a question, I don't believe you can ask the Governor, so everyone in the hall looked at the Governor. Even Chen Letian, who had done a lot of homework and knew a lot about the merits of Cao County's order, couldn't help but look at the governor.

Chen Letian felt that Cao Xianling's words were very familiar, but he couldn't say where they were familiar.

The Governor nodded: "That's true, what Cao Lin said is true, it is recorded in the Governor's Mansion, if you need it, you can find it out in half a day, does Student Chen need it?"

"No need, sir, just nod your head, of course you won't lie. Chen Letian arched his hand.

Suddenly I thought of the attitude of the county magistrate when he spoke, it was simply the same as the state when he complained, the incendiary tone, the tone that mobilized the people around him, and the tone that mobilized everyone's emotions was just like himself.

I learned this speech from an unknown letter, but I don't know where Cao Xianling learned it, but after thinking about it, it seems that people who can speak and understand negotiation talk like this. It seems that no matter what world it is, many things are connected.

This Cao County Order is really powerful, and it is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Classmate Chen, think about it, if I am really like what you said, why should I do so much for the people?" said the county magistrate to Chen Letian.

Again, this is a kind of rhetoric, which does not face your question directly, but asks you rhetorically by saying something else.

However, Chen Letian had already prepared, so he just sneered and shook his head. Then he took out a few pieces of paper from his bosom, spread them out, and began to list the evidence.

In the third year of Hecheng, on the fourth day of the sixth month, on the second floor of the guest inn in Bazhong City, the Tietou Gang sent 100,000 taels of silver to the No. 1 room in Dizi. An hour later, Cao Xian ordered his henchmen to go to the inn and get home. The Iron Head Gang can testify to this.

In the fourth year of Hecheng, on the sixth day of the second month, in the silver gambling house in Bazhong City, the Iron Head Gang sent 200,000 taels of silver, and an hour later, Cao Xian ordered his henchmen to go to the gambling house to take it home. The gatekeeper of the gambling house at the time can testify to this.

In the seventh year of Hecheng, on September 12, in the room of the Cui'er girl in Daiyue Building, the Iron Head Gang sent 150,000 taels of silver, and two hours later, Cao County ordered him to take someone to the Qinglou to take it home. Miss Tsui Er can testify to this.

......

Chen Letian read ten articles in a row, each of which has a detailed time and place, as well as the most lethal witness.

If there is no person to testify, then the county lord can still deny it, but if there are witnesses, it is difficult to deny. If you dare to deny it, then Chen Letian can call the witnesses immediately, after all, it took a lot of effort to get the incriminating evidence about the county order in his hand, and those witnesses agreed to testify It was also a lot of money for the Cao Gang to testify.

Chen Letian had long thought that the Cao Gang would spend at least 10,000 taels of silver on the matter of asking for witnesses and agreeing to testify.

So much silver must have been approved by Jiang Tian and Jiang Dagong.

So Chen Letian is really grateful to the Cao Gang, this is a charcoal in the snow.

If it weren't for this, it would be impossible for them to sue Cao County Order, they didn't have to think about it, there was no fatal evidence, and it was impossible to win the lawsuit, which only increased their laughter.

Chen Letian said these ten articles one by one, and kept speaking, the hall was silent, Chen Letian read it, stuffed the paper back into his arms, smiled, and then said to Cao County: "May I ask Cao County, what do you want to say about the things I just listed?"

The county commander was silent, bowing his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Chen Letian was not in a hurry, he didn't ask or press, but took two steps to the side, picked up the already cold tea, and took a sip. Dry mouth.

Silence, silence, silence.

Until the officials couldn't help but look at each other, until Chen Letian couldn't help but look at each other with Liu Daming, until the governor couldn't sit still, and took a sip of the teacup.

Suddenly, Cao Xianzun let out a howl and cried.

The crying was loud at the beginning, so that everyone outside the lobby could faintly hear it.

But soon it was smaller.

The howling and crying only held a few breaths before turning into silent tears.

On Cao County's face, sobs flowed.

Cao Xian made this cry, and everyone in the hall was stunned. Everyone was surprised, as if they had swallowed a big goose egg, and looked at Cao Xianling.

But Cao Xianling didn't care what others thought of him, he just cried there, sobbing in a low voice, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Crying and crying, Cao Xianling couldn't stand anymore and sat on the ground. In addition, he had injuries on his body, so this fall was very realistic, and it didn't look like a deliberate fall at all.

Even Chen Letian didn't know whether this Cao County Order was a real wrestling or a fake fall.

The Governor was startled in the hall, his face was surprised, and he thought: Why are you crying? Are you crying like this? Are you breaking down and preparing to surrender? Then you dare to be kind, you yourself want to surrender, and you can't blame the official for not helping you. You're too weak, aren't you, why did you tell me yesterday? Not full of confidence, why can't this work, I can't stand being casually listed by Chen Letian? It seems that I still underestimate you, with your courage to kidnap my wife, I thought you were really a ruthless and fearless traitor, but I didn't expect you to be a coward, it's a pity...

The Governor thought about this mess in his heart, but the expression on his face was nothing but surprise. He even frowned after watching the county order cry for a while, with a look of disdain that was ready to ask what was going on.
