Chapter 457: Stab in the back
However, who knows, his actions have attracted the attention of the officials in the capital.
It was his teacher who noticed that he was wrong.
It was the bachelor who had carefully taught him and helped him climb to the top of the public office step by step.
The scholar was also an honest official in the early years, but he has been up and down in the official sea for so many years.
In the end, the scholars also became moths in the company of corrupt officials.
His disciple, the prefectural magistrate, did not notice that his position as a scholar had changed.
After collecting the evidence and sending it to the capital, he sent another letter to his teacher.
I want my teacher to help with the dots to ensure that the evidence can be delivered to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
When the scholar heard about this, he carefully calculated and found that among the few adults who were greedy for ink, some of them had interests with him.
When the scholar saw this, he immediately thought about it, and after the county ordered the evidence to be sent to the capital, he stopped the evidence and leaked the matter to the adults in the Ministry of Industry.
When the Ministry learned of what the prefectural ordinance had done, he was furious and immediately took action against the prefectural ordinance.
They first bought off the bandits around Zhou County, and then let people rob people while the county commander's wife took the child up the mountain to the township.
The wife and children of the county magistrate have not heard from them until now, and they are sure that there is still evidence in the hands of the county magistrate, and they want to force the county magistrate to take out the remaining evidence.
"In fact, I do have some evidence in my hands, and the evidence that remains in my hands is the most important part of the evidence."
"For example, when the officials of the Ministry of Industry were greedy for official money, they sent letters to each other."
"The letter states the amount of money they are determined to embezzle, and how they will perfunctory the matter after embezzling it."
He hid the epistle in his house, and he did not hand it over, even though the wicked men had taken his wife.
Those villains were so angry with him that they came up with such a bad idea, intending to burn down his mansion and bury him in the fire.
As long as he is killed and the evidence is destroyed, naturally no one wants to expose the evil things they have done.
Chen Mu heard the county order say this, his face was gloomy, and he was angry for a long time without making a sound.
The county magistrate raised his head and glanced in Chen Mu's direction, and a little worry appeared in his eyes.
Chen Mu took a deep breath, shook his head silently, and said.
"I really didn't expect those people to be so mad, you are the same as them, you are also an official, but they are killing you."
"I'll definitely give you an explanation of this matter, now, since I'm here...... By the way, you can bring the evidence with you. ”
Since it was such important evidence, it was naturally impossible for this official to leave the evidence in his mansion, so he should have nodded yes.
At that time, he risked his life in the fire, sneaked into the study, and took out all the evidence.
Chen Mu asked people to take over the evidence, and then carefully examined it, confirmed that the evidence was conclusive, and also revealed what those adults had done.
Chen Mu accepted the evidence, and then sneered.
"Okay, rescue your wife first, and then I'll let people go back to Beijing and control those adults from the Ministry of Works."
"I have to personally try this matter, and when my private interview with Weifu is over, I will solve them."
These people dare to be so blatant, and even attack county officials, there must be backers behind them.
Those officials of the Ministry of Industry are also from big families.
But if he can use this method to deceive him, maybe some of his henchmen around him are in collusion with those family ministers.
If he hadn't been sure that the matter of the silver would not reach his ears, those people would not have dared to do so.
And those resettlement silver were exploited layer by layer, if it weren't for his private visit and personally rushed to this city to check the situation, he probably didn't know that the resettlement silver was exploited so much.
"I have already sent Lord Ye to the lair of that group of mountain bandits to rescue your wife and children, you don't have to worry, go back to the room to rest first, and then wait for news."
Seeing Chen Mu say this, the county order immediately bowed down.
Chen Mu waved his hand and asked people to step back, and then waited patiently in the lobby.
On the other side, inside the cottage.
The leader of this gang of bandits was drinking in the camp with the second and third masters in the stockade.
In the past few days, they have helped the officials of the capital to do a thing, and they have obtained a lot of silver, so that they can rest for a short time and do not have to go out to plunder.
The days were passing beautifully, and the big boss suddenly caught a glimpse of a person breaking into the door, who was their subordinate who guarded the door.
A slight look of displeasure appeared on the face of the big boss, and he scolded angrily.
"Why is it so unreasonable, is there anything important about breaking in like this? If it weren't for anything important, I'd drag you out and beat you to death!" ”
The fierce god of the big parent, glaring, immediately scared the little brother to the weakness, the little brother fell to the ground with a thud, layers of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he hurriedly said.
"Yes! It's an adult from Beijing who has come to deliver news, asking you to kill the mother and son who are locked up on our mountain! ”
Seeing the other party say this, the big boss was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came back to his senses, he didn't bother to reprimand his subordinates, but glanced at the second and third masters standing next to him.
The three of them walked together in the direction of the back mountain.
The mother and son were the county magistrates of the nearby county, and they had been locked up on their mountain for some time, and they had not given the mother and son anything to eat or drink.
Guess they're starving to death right now.
Even if those people didn't send the news, the big boss planned to solve these two people in a few days, and he could see the thoughts of those adults in the capital.
Most of those adults wanted to kill this mother and son, and the reason why they didn't do it was just to use the mother and son to blackmail the county order.
Now that the news suddenly came, thinking that the county order had also lost his life, the big boss thought so and snorted coldly.
Even if it is an official, even if the arrogant dispatch of troops on weekdays intends to exterminate them, what if they anger the adults in the capital, they will still end up with a bad death.
The big master thought about it, and when he came to a grass hut in the back mountain, he raised his foot and kicked it, and the door of the grass hut slammed open.
The woman and a teenager who were locked in the room immediately got together and hugged each other firmly when they heard the noise.
They opened their eyes and looked at the big boss and the others with a look of horror.
The big boss sneered, lifted the long knife, and was about to swing it.
The next moment, a silver light flashed.
The head of the big boss fell in response, and Lord Ye led people to break into the cottage, quickly rescued the wife and children of the county order, and then took people back to the city.
