Chapter 355: Revision of Sentence
Early the next morning, the county commander Wang Zhan came early with a group of officials and waited in the hall of the official office.
Hua Erniang has also arrived, and she will go to the inner room to invite people for these officials.
Ning Ze came to the courtyard neatly dressed, and Wang Tong and Qiu Chan came over together.
"From now on, you will hide in the shadows. Ning Ze said to Wang Tong, "As a stand-in for Lonely, you have to be like a shadow." Only when Lone needs you, can he appear in front of everyone. In normal times, it cannot be discovered by outsiders. In other words, only Gu came to Da Geng County this time, and there are no impostors, understand?"
Since he agreed to be a stand-in, Wang Tong could only nod: "Oh!"
"What you've done lately, you have to deal with it properly. Ning Ze turned to Qiu Cicada, "You will go out with me later, after all, in the eyes of outsiders, Lone is with you all the way, if you suddenly disappear or change to someone else, it will definitely cause suspicion." ”
Qiu Chan did not dare to object, pretending to be the most powerful and powerful King of Danyang in Huaguo, who spoke the most weightily, was caught red-handed by the deity and was to be executed according to the law. This is the empress's husband, the real ruler behind the entire Chinese kingdom. Now that he can avoid the death penalty and live in the world, he has opened his net, and there is no other choice but to be obedient.
"Stay here honestly, and I'll send someone to put on your makeup later. Ning Ze turned to Wang Tong, "Your face is somewhat similar to Gu, you must try to cover it, otherwise it will be very troublesome to be seen on the way back to Huajun." ”
"What are you going to become?" Wang Tong was a little worried.
Ning Ze said with a smile: "Since Lone wants you to be a stand-in, it won't cause any harm to this face, otherwise what's the use? It's just a simple makeup, slightly change your skin color, and add some other features, try to minimize the similarity, so that people can't easily recognize it." ”
Hearing this, Wang Tong was a little relieved.
"Erniang!"
"In!" Hua Erniang agreed.
"You are guarding here, without Lone's order, no one is allowed to enter the inner room of the official office, let alone meet him!" Ning Ze ordered, "If any suspicious person tries to approach, take it down immediately! Also, give Gu a good look at him, let him stay in the inner room honestly and not go out!"
"Don't worry, the prince!" Hua Erniang replied with a fist, "There is a general, and there will be no worries here!"
"Very good!" Ning Ze has absolute trust in Hua Erniang, with her strength value, there is no opponent in Mixian County. Not to mention the small Mi County, it is the same in the entire Dageng County.
Bringing Qiu Cicada to the hall of the official office, the officials were a little confused, and they didn't know whether it was Ning Ze himself or the imposter Wang Tong in front of them.
The main thing is that they are not familiar with Ning Ze, although there are many differences in the facial features of the two, it is still difficult to distinguish them in a short time.
The only time there was a comparison was last night, in the faint light of the fire, in fact, many details were difficult to see.
Seeing that the officials looked at themselves, then at the autumn cicada, and then looked in the direction of the backyard, with a hesitant and hesitant look, Ning Ze knew what the other party was thinking, and said: "Wang Tong stays in the inner room, and the lone guard general is in charge of guarding. Remember, from beginning to end, he was Lone, and there was no one else! Everything that Lone did before was just to test the officials of Dageng County, and now it is necessary to wrap it up, and everything will return to normal. The first thing of the day is about the disposal of the county lieutenant Jia Xiaoman. Send someone to the prison to bring the county lieutenant Jia, everyone prepare, inform the people of the county, and the results of the handling must be made public here!"
Wang Zhan received the order and immediately ordered to go down, while sending people to the prison to take Jia Xiaoman out, and at the same time letting the county soldiers beat gongs and drums everywhere to inform the people to go to the county office.
The people were good-looking and lively, and they were also very concerned about the results of Jia Xiaoman's disposal, so they gathered one after another.
Jia Xiaoman was taken to the official office, and Ning Ze was sitting in the hall, accompanied by officials on both sides.
The gate was crowded, and most of the people in the county gathered here.
Of course, only some people stepped through the gate, which was clearly visible at the entrance of the government office. More people who stand outside to form a sea of people can only understand the situation through the people inside and outside the gate or the county soldiers of the official office.
Ning Ze instructed to bring all the people who accused Jia Xiaoman yesterday.
The county soldiers passed the word, and after a short time, the people involved were all brought.
After everyone saluted respectfully, Ning Ze looked at Jia Xiaoman and said, "County Lieutenant Jia, after spending a day in prison, do you feel wronged?
Jia Xiaoman clenched his fists and replied: "Lord Wang, the subordinate feels wronged! As a county lieutenant, he should strictly enforce the law. Guilty will be punished, and rightfully so!"
"So, you don't plead guilty?"
"Xia Guan is not guilty!" Jia Xiaoman replied loudly.
"I thought about it all night, and I felt that yesterday was too hasty. Ning Ze said, "In this way, I will give you another chance." Here you have punished all the people who accuse you. That is, you think that all of these people are guilty and that they apply the law. The law is the foundation of the stability of the state, and if you do it according to the law without the slightest mistake, the matter will be over! If any case is not in accordance with the law, it will be dealt with severely! Now, I want you to clearly explain why each of these people who have come out to complain is punished, and as long as it is in full accordance with the law, he is not guilty!"
"Thank you, Lord Xie!" Jia Xiaoman already knew about the impostor, understood that it was the real King of Danyang who was handling the matter, and was grateful, so he turned to the people who accused him and pointed out the reasons for the punishment one by one.
He remembers it very well, and there is nothing wrong with it. And there is a reason, the county master book inquired about the law on the spot, and also affirmed that Jia Xiaoman's every case was strictly in accordance with the law, and there was no mistake. The only thing worth arguing about is that he enforces the law too strictly, which is criticized by the people.
In the process, Ning Ze listened silently.
He has a habit of keeping a virtual map open all the time outside, and he is extremely vigilant.
In particular, the imposter Wang Tong has made a lot of trouble here, and even if it is dealt with quickly, it is still possible to alarm the enemy forces.
Sure enough, a few red dots really appeared on the map today, mixed among the people.
Ning Ze tried his best to block the news, but the enemy country still heard the movement and rushed over to investigate.
They should have doubts about the accuracy of the news, after all, Ning Ze was still in Huajun before, why did he suddenly run to Dageng County?
This time, I came here to find out the correctness of the news. If it's fake news, forget it, if it's really Ning Ze who appeared in Dageng County, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Whether it is Tang Niu, Lu Cong or Ma Jian, all forces regard Ning Ze as a threat, and they will definitely not let go of any opportunity to eradicate it and cause the collapse of Huaguo.
Although the various forces already knew that Ning Ze was superior in force and proficient in spells, it was not so easy to assassinate. It's just that the tiger also has a nap, only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, as long as Ning Ze is negligent, a big thing can be done!
The fine work was mixed among the people, and Ning Ze could only judge by the red dots how many people there were on the other side, and which direction they were in. The other party is not in front of him, and there is no way to judge which force he is from, what his identity is, and there is no way to find out the person from the hundreds of people.
To be sure, these small works are just ordinary spies, and there must be more important people hiding behind them.
Now that the city is closed, it is indeed possible to catch people with a lot of effort using the virtual map function, but it is pointless, and it startles the snake.
Since the other party came to investigate, he will soon know that Danyang King Ning Ze is really here, and after reporting, there will be action.
You can wait for their main force to come, and then wipe them out!
Thinking of this, Ning Ze pretended not to know and focused on dealing with Jia Xiaoman's affairs.
Jia Xiaoman debated with the people who accused him in the hall, and the people were dumbfounded one by one.
First, Jia Xiaoman did act in accordance with the law, and secondly, the education level is different, most of the people at the bottom are illiterate, and they are at a loss, where can they argue with him?
The overall situation has been decided, and Ning Ze announced in public: "Jia Xiaoman, the county governor of Mixian County, there is nothing wrong with the cases investigated in accordance with the law! Therefore, the crime of everyone's accusation is not established. However, the county lieutenant Jia strictly enforced the law, which attracted criticism and caused some trouble to the people of Mixian County. After careful consideration, it is possible to reduce the force of law enforcement a little in the future, and while maintaining law and order, the main thing is not to disturb the people and not to cause fear among the people?"
Jia Xiaoman hurriedly replied: "The order of the prince, the lower officials should remember!"
"Also, I sentenced you to two more days in prison, counting yesterday for a total of three days, and personally experienced the suffering of the people. Do you have any objections?"
To experience the suffering of the people, in fact, in addition to imprisonment, he should be allowed to suffer whipping every day. However, Ning Ze didn't deal with it like this, Jia Xiaoman understood that this was to protect himself, and the three-day prison sentence was also to make it relatively acceptable to the people.
So he clenched his fists and replied: "The lower official has no objection, and is willing to be punished!"
"Very good!" Ning Ze said, "Since you have a heart of repentance, the people of Mixian County will definitely give you a chance." Remember the words of Lone, and while obeying the law, you should be the main one for the people. Your Majesty is benevolent and loves the people like a son, and as an official of China, he must attach importance to the people and love the people. Real criminals cannot be let go, they must be strictly enforced, and ordinary people still need to be more tolerant. If the people make a small mistake, as long as the circumstances are not very serious, they can first reprimand, educate, and order them to repent, and if they do not change after repeated teachings, they can be dealt with with with the criminal law!"
"The lower officials remember the teachings of the prince!"
The people at the scene, including those who accused Jia Xiaoman, had no objection to Ning Ze's sentence. Most of the people felt the same way as what Ning Ze said, especially the sentence of attaching importance to the people and caring for the people, which moved them a lot.
In the eyes of the simple people, being able to say this kind of thing is a good official and a clean official, and the idea is very simple.
Most people's impression of Ning Ze has changed, after all, in the entire Huaguo, it is said that Ning Ze is a powerful minister, and using Princess Yuan Xi to control the entire country is not a good reputation.
Now it is found that this Danyang King has such an attitude towards the people, which is not as bad as imagined, and most of the local people's mentality has changed.
Jia Xiaoman's matter was properly handled, and there was no objection from all parties.
When the people dispersed, all was calm again.
Regarding the details of the enemy's work, Ning Ze thought carefully and quickly formulated a response strategy.
Stay one more day, and after dressing up the next day, take Hua Erniang, Qiu Cicada, and Wang Tong to set off in a carriage and leave Mixian quietly.
