Chapter 46: Severance
In the inner hall, Chen Houlu, the county magistrate, paced back and forth, still uneasy and uneasy.
"Lord Song......" Song Zhili, who was sitting in the middle of the rush and was closing his eyes and recuperating, asked Song Zhili, who was calm and relaxed, "Is this ...... Is that all right? That Sima joined the army, and our county lord, won't they pursue us again? ”
Song Zhili seemed to be thinking about his own affairs, and didn't pay attention to Chen Houlu's words, and didn't even open his eyes to look at him.
Squeak......
At this time, Cheng Xiao closed the door and said to Chen Houlu: "Lord Chen, we should have passed this pass." You think, Lord Thorn Shi is communicating with the servant of the ministry, once it is found that the servant of the ministry has fallen, then there is no reason to shield this Qiu Batian.
"When the time comes, not only will they not pursue it, but they will think that we have done the right thing and done a good job!"
"Well......" Chen Houlu was a little relieved, and echoed, "When the time comes, Lord Sima will also admire us, oh no, he admires our Lord Song, it's really ...... It's wonderful...... Whew......"
He couldn't hold on, and sat down in his chair, panting.
"Lord Song's victory in this move is really wonderful," Cheng Xiao took the opportunity to pat the horse, "I heard that those villagers who followed the complaint are now praising Lord Song, saying that Lord Song is not afraid of power and asks for the people's life!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes," Chen Houlu hurriedly agreed, "This can be described as a blessing in disguise, those who have won the hearts of the people since ancient times have won the world, maybe, Lord Song's promotion is in sight!" ”
Bang!
Who knows, as soon as the words fell, Song Zhili suddenly opened his eyes and slapped the table hard, startling the two.
"What about Xu Zhen?" He asked Cheng Xiao, "Where is he now?" ”
"This ......," Cheng Xiao recalled, shook his head and said, "I didn't pay attention?" It seems like...... I saw him in court just now, and his injuries should have healed. ”
"Hmph, this self-righteous dog thing," Song Zhili gritted his teeth and said, "I almost fell into the official and never recovered!" I'm also confused, how can I believe his nonsense in a daze? ”
Oh......
Only then did Cheng Xiao and Chen Houlu understand that Song Zhili was angry with Xu Zhen, if they hadn't listened to Xu Zhen's reasoning and thought that this was a political struggle, they wouldn't have been so thrilling.
"This guy must be afraid that you will blame him, and I don't know where to hide!" Cheng Xiao hurriedly said, "I'll arrest him now and teach him a good lesson!" ”
After saying that, Cheng Xiao turned around and wanted to leave.
"Slow," however, Song Zhili stopped Cheng Xiao and said, "Forget it, leave him alone, this matter is also up to me, I shouldn't believe his nonsense so easily." ”
"My lord, this is not going to work!" Cheng Xiao hurriedly said, "Xu Zhen, this kid is arrogant and self-righteous, and he almost killed us all, you can't spare him!" ”
"Yes," Chen Houlu also echoed with a calm face, "Even if you don't give him a little punishment, at least you have to expel him from the yamen, although he is a little clever, but if he is too clever, it will hurt people a lot!" ”
"Okay," Song Zhili waved his hand and said, "Xu Zhen will talk about it later, it's useless to find him, anyway, he is no longer from our team." ”
Oh......
Cheng Xiao was a little satisfied, Song Zhili obviously meant to expel Xu Zhen.
He had long regarded Xu Zhen as a thorn in his side, but now that he finally got his wish, he suddenly felt much happier.
"There is no turning back when the bow is opened," at this time, Song Zhili said back to the topic, "Since our momentum has been created and our positions are all clear, we must do this well."
"Chen Xiancheng," he said to Chen Houlu, "you write another notice and inform the people that if there is a complaint against Qiu Batian, the yamen will accept it." ”
"Yes!"
"Cheng Zhutou," he instructed Cheng Xiao again, "The matter of interrogation will be handed over to you, and every case must be investigated in detail and not negligently." ”
"Yes!"
"After we sort out all the cases, we only have to sit back and wait for two things," Song Zhili said proudly, "One is Qiu Batian's knife and beheading, except for the future."
"And the other is Sima Xin, after they learned the news of the fall of the servant of the ministry, hum, I think they will face this official, hum!"
"Then ......" At this time, Chen Houlu remembered something and hurriedly reminded, "Lord Song, what are you going to do with that Pan Wending?" That Elaine corpse ......"
Chen Houlu meant that only a few of them knew that Ailian's body was fake, and it should be Pan Wending who replaced Ailian's body with a dug up corpse.
In other words, Pan Wending has never killed anyone at all, and his crime is limited to framing Qiu Batian.
Although Li Laohan's death was caused by his instigation, in the Daxuan Dynasty, where the law was not sound, there was no such crime at all.
Now Qiu Batian is already a street rat full of evil, so as long as the living Ailian appears, Pan Wending will be acquitted.
"Pan Wending has said," Chen Houlu reminded, "as long as he lives, he will write a book for you......"
In the ancient society where information was not developed, writing books and biography was undoubtedly an excellent way to become famous, which was of great benefit to Song Zhili's career.
"Hmph," however, after thinking for a few seconds, Song Zhili snorted coldly and said, "Sitting in the prison, he can still write a book for me."
"This guy is also to blame, and if it weren't for him, we wouldn't be in such a big trouble.
"I caught the murderer for their Pan family, it's enough to be worthy of him, let's let him stay in prison first!"
As he spoke, a trace of imperceptible darkness flashed in the corners of Song Zhili's eyes.
His mind is far-reaching, how can Chen Houlu and Cheng Xiao keep up.
In fact, Song Zhili had long thought of this, and once Pan Wending was acquitted, he would inevitably take over the Drunken Immortal Residence.
But if he is a murderer, then the Drunken Immortal Residence will be confiscated.
If it is confiscated, it is obviously more beneficial to yourself......
Boom Boom Boom ......
Who knows, at such a time, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Among the county officials, those who dare to knock on the door so heavily can only be the superior leaders.
Cheng Xiao hurriedly ran over to open the door, and sure enough, he saw two officials standing outside the door, which were Sima Xin, the army member, and Cai Jin, the county guard.
The two officials had black faces, apparently unkind.
Song Zhili hurriedly got up with Chen Houlu to greet him and bowed down.
"You go out first," Chaikin waved his hand, "and close the door." ”
"Yes!"
Cheng Xiao didn't dare to say more, so he quickly exited and closed the door outside.
This......
Seeing such a scene, Song Zhili first glanced at Chen Houlu, and the two realized that something was wrong at the same time.
At this time, Sima Xin didn't mean to sit down and speak, he went straight to Song Zhili and said: "Song County Order, you are really courageous, even the official has to admire!" ”
"This ......" Song Zhili didn't know whether it was positive or depreciative, and he didn't know how to respond on the spot.
"I'm too lazy to break with you," Sima Xin sighed and said, "The servant of the Ministry of Officials has sent a message that he had severed his relationship with Qiu Zhennong a year ago, and that there were family documents as proof.
"Therefore, the case of Qiu Zhennong has nothing to do with him, and you must handle it impartially, without favoritism, guilt or innocence, or killing or scraping, it is all up to your county government to decide!
"How's that...... Got it? ”
"Oh......" Song Zhili nodded inertly at first, and then realized something, and suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning, and asked in surprise, "Officials...... He ...... Is there anything going on? ”
"Nonsense, what can he do?" Sima Xin said coldly, "After this Jingcha, he will enter the cabinet and be promoted to the third rank." ”
"Huh?" The two county officials were startled, and Song Zhili's voice trembled, "This...... How is this possible? ”
"What's impossible?" Sima Xin said, "My own brother is in the Ministry of Officials, Qiu Shilang is familiar with personnel and is quite appreciated by Qianxiang, can this be fake?" ”
"Huh?" The two county officials were shocked again, Chen Houlu's body was crooked, and he collapsed on the spot.
"Congratulations, you got your wish, Lord Song," Sima Xin said in front of Song Zhili's face, "Don't worry about Qiu Batian's backstage anymore, do a good job!" Both of us, as well as Lord Thorn, are so proud of you! ”
The word "pride", he deliberately bit it hard.
Yes......
This time, Song Zhili couldn't support it anymore, only felt that the world was spinning, and he also followed Chen Houlu to go limp......
