On 11 July, Wei Lin's boat entered Suzhou Mansion along the canal, stayed at Hushuguan that night, and planned to enter Suzhou City the next day.

Early the next day, July 12, the shore outside Fengqiao was already full of people, ready to welcome the governor to Suzhou City.

This is probably one of the most complete occasions for Suzhou city officials, and officials above the seventh grade of the government office, the magistrate of the two county ya, and the county officials were all present.

Suzhou Mansion, the prefect of Zhu, held a shelf most of the time, and he was not too condescending in front of the leader of the Wang Lao Alliance, and at this time, he had to stand on the shore respectfully and humbly.

In addition to the government and county officials, the military attachés above the fifth rank of Suzhou Weizheng were also present, after all, the governor was also in charge of military affairs, which was different from ordinary magistrates.

Even Lin Tailai had never dealt with him, and the people from Su Songchang Town's military preparation yamen, who did not have a high sense of presence in Suzhou City, also appeared.

Some people may ask, why is Xing Dong, the Jiangnan Inspector, not there? Because he had already left Suzhou.

This is a kind of "the king does not see the king" political tacit understanding, if the governor goes to Suzhou, the governor will go to the vicinity of Nanjing according to the imperial history.

Two characters with the title of Qincha can't gather in one place, otherwise the place will be at a loss.

In addition to officials, it is the common local gentry representatives, Li Lao representatives.

In short, the four kinds of officials, gentry, scholars, and people, formed a delegation to welcome the governor, and other merchants, musicians, and the like were not worthy of appearing in the delegation.

Of course, today there are fewer representatives of "taxi" than usual, and the water is also larger.

Because August is the Nanzhili Township Examination, the scholars who are a little capable have gone to Nanjing to catch the exam at this time, and they are not in Suzhou.

Therefore, some people were able to mix in and blend into the group of scholars.

The second master of the Shen Mansion, who has rarely appeared in public in the past two or three years, talked to Wang Yusheng, who was also born in wealth, after walking around the venue a few times.

One is the son of today's first assistant, and the other is the great-grandson of Zeng Ge's old grandson, who is of a similar age and has a common language.

It's not because the two of them don't have any fame at the moment, they are all mixed in.

After that, Lin Daguan also appeared on the shore outside Fengqiao, easily crossed the blockade and entered the field.

Then after glancing around, he automatically came to Shen Yongjia's side.

Second Master Shen asked in surprise, "Why did someone like you come in?" ”

This is the delegation to welcome the governor, but not the turtle group to welcome the county, and there is no position for the low-level wild villagers.

Although it was the unintentional words of Zai Fugui's son, it still made Lin Daguan a little unhappy.

So he didn't pay attention to Second Master Shen, but turned his head to Wang Yusheng and asked, "Why did someone like you come in?" ”

This question is exactly the same as what Second Master Shen said just now, and even the tone is exactly the same, which is a bit provocative.

Wang Yusheng immediately retorted: "Even people like you can come in, why can't I come in?" ”

Lin Daguan replied proudly: "The governor is in charge of the army on the horse, and the people are in charge of the people, and there are all those who have the power and the military.

And I, Lin Tailai, as the only martial arts student in Suzhou City, should appear here as a representative of martial arts. ”

Wang Yusheng: "."

it! Growing up, I've never been so disgusting!

However, Lin Tailai's words were not finished, and he continued to say meanly:

"It's really not as good as Wang Yusheng, he doesn't even have a fame, just because he was born in a good family, he can appear here as a representative of the scholars."

Wang Yusheng's face was pale, but before he could say anything, Shen Ergongzi suddenly said angrily: "Who are you talking about!" ”

Lin Tailai immediately pointed at Wang Yusheng and replied without hesitation: "Of course I mean him!" But the second master of the Shen family, why is your face so ugly? ”

Shen Erye jumped up and wanted to hit someone, but Lin Tailai, who didn't dare to fight back, easily dodged away.

felt that if he continued to talk about it, the boat of friendship was about to capsize, so Lin Daguan stopped his mouth in moderation.

These three people, who were incompatible with the other "gentry", stood awkwardly together.

In the morning, the governor's boat finally appeared in front of the people on the shore.

All etiquette was followed, and the ship came ashore first, and the governor came out of the cabin and stood on the bow deck.

Lin Tailai quickly raised his eyes to look at the ship, his expression extremely focused.

Seeing this, Wang Yusheng couldn't help but sarcastically say: "Your Excellency has never seen such a big official?" Hurry up, take a few more looks if you can, and open your eyes! ”

Lin Tai replied without looking back: "It's like a rookie like you who doesn't know how to stare at the governor!" How can a knowledgeable person be as ignorant as you! ”

For some reason, Second Master Shen next to him felt that he was being "pointed at Sang and scolded Huai" again, and asked with a cold snort: "Then you say, what does it mean to know what it means!" ”

Lin Daguan replied casually: "The people who really know how to do it are the people who carefully observe the people who accompany the governor!"

What can you see just by looking at the governor himself? Only by looking at the escorts around the governor can it be possible to see the doorway. ”

Second Master Shen didn't know what was going on, he looked at the bow of the boat again, and then found that the person who was closest to the governor this time was a middle-aged man in white with a powdery face.

"Who is this?" Second Master Shen said subconsciously.

However, Wang Yusheng shouted softly: "It turned out to be one of the several great courtiers of the Xishan Xi family, Xi Siwei!" ”

The Wang family is the Wang family of East Dongting Mountain, and the Xi family is the Xi family of West Dongting Mountain, both of which are giant families of the Dongting Business Gang, and there are marriages between the two families, so it is not surprising that Wang Yusheng knows Xi Siwei.

But obviously, Wang Yusheng was also very surprised that Xi Siwei appeared next to the governor.

Lin Tailai heard Wang Yusheng's exclamation, and he was also very surprised, it turned out that this person was the Xi Da Dynasty in the mouths of those people at the entrance of Hudong Hall!

He never understood where the real confidence of that Xi Da courtier was.

Even if the Dongting Merchant Gang is powerful, even if the Xi family is rich and has a lot of money, it is still almost meaningless to rely on these alone.

But today, when I saw Xi Dachaofeng standing beside the governor, I understood.

Lin Tailai looked at Wang Yusheng deeply again, and said inexplicably: "Congratulations, it seems that you are an uninformed person." ”

Wang Yusheng thought about it again and again, but he didn't understand what this sentence meant.

Second Master Shen understood, thinking of Fan Yunlin's "warning" before, he guessed the situation.

What kind of courtesy with the surname Xi is that Fan Yunlin did not reveal who wanted to deal with Lin Tailai and seize the foundation of the Lin family.

Cheeky to sneak in here today, not in vain.

While thinking, he said to Lin Tai: "That's the governor." ”

Lin Tailai also heard the voice outside the words, and asked rhetorically: "Even you know?" Are you scared? ”

Second Master Shen said half-truthfully: "How can I be afraid, what can a mere governor do to me? I'm afraid that you're going to hurt me.

If you feel that you are going to collapse, don't be cheap to outsiders, and take the initiative to deliver it to the door yourself.

Let me destroy you with my own hands, so that the credit is mine, and it is best for you. ”

Lin Tailai: "."

Sure enough, everyone will improve, and Shen Er Gongzi is no exception.

It is true that as Lin Tailai said, what kind of people appear around big people when they appear is often the most symbolic.

Just like when Yuan Zhixian took office, he was accompanied by Li Jixuan, a famous man from Zhenzhou, and through this, Yuan Zhixian's style of acting can be preliminarily judged.

When the governor appeared today, the person accompanying him was a business gangster, which was very rare, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

However, everyone didn't say anything on the surface, pretending not to notice anything, and the welcome ceremony was carried out as it should be.

According to the rules, after the governor went ashore, the officials of the government and the two county governments took turns to see the governor in the yamen.

After the government office, Deng He, the magistrate of Wu County, and Cheng Guotong of Guanliang County stepped forward.

At this time, Governor Wei suddenly said to Deng Zhixian: "Although this court was not in Suzhou a few months ago, I also heard about a strange incident in your county. ”

This kind of unconventional and sudden attack questioning by the boss is the most annoying to the subordinates.

Fortunately, Deng Zhixian has been trained by Lin Tailai to have a strong tolerance, and he endured his physical discomfort and replied: "Which one is Dazhong Cheng referring to?" ”

Governor Wei then spoke: "This court has heard that there are eight cases of the same defendant, and it is simply strange in the world that the cases were closed at the same time. ”

Objectively speaking, there is nothing wrong with this sentence, this kind of thing is quite strange when everyone hears it, but it really happened.

But when the governor asked about it as soon as he came ashore, it must have been more than just a casual question.

Deng Zhixian raised his head in astonishment, regardless of the faux pas, could it be that Dazhongcheng still wanted to reopen the old case?

When the rest of the people heard it, they couldn't help but whisper, and many of them peeked at Lin Tailai.

The so-called "eight cases of the same defendant" must refer to the eight petitions against Lin Tailai that Deng Zhixian received when he first took office.

The inside story of this matter is still a little vague, and it can only be said that the incident happened strangely, and the end was also very strange, and the eight plaintiffs withdrew the case in a short period of time.

Also, as soon as the dignified feudal official came ashore, he mentioned Lin Tailai, just like when Deng Zhixian of Wu County took office.

Could it be that Lin Daguan's influence is already so great? Have you jumped directly from a county-level bully to a provincial-level bully?

Seeing that Deng Zhixian was stunned and didn't speak, Governor Wei asked in a deep voice, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Deng Zhixian came back to his senses and replied, "There is indeed such a thing. ”

Governor Wei continued: "After hearing about it, this court felt that there might be something strange about this matter, and I have always kept it in mind.

Your county may wish to retry the case to clarify the facts of the case, especially why the plaintiffs in the eight cases were dismissed almost at the same time. ”

Deng Zhixian immediately scolded his mother in his heart, why did he close the case at the same time, it was not because he couldn't go on with the county's honor!

Those eight cases were deliberately planned by the criminal name Master Zheng and the anti-Lin Tailai forces with the acquiescence of his Deng Zhixian, but they did not play a role later.

Since it no longer works, of course the case must be closed, otherwise why keep it?

Deng Zhixian could only vaguely reply: "The case has been closed, and it will generally not be reopened unless there is a special need." ”

Seeing that Deng Zhixian did not give a positive response, Governor Wei said unhappily: "What? What is it difficult for your county to say that it is unwilling to be retried? ”

When everyone on the shore heard this, they all looked at Lin Tailai again, what kind of face did this person have?

As long as you are an official who can manage you, you will be treated as an "anti-black model" after your appearance?

This was the case in Deng Zhixian last time, and now Governor Wei is the same.

But as half of the parties, of course Deng Zhixian was unwilling! He didn't want to reopen the old case at all!

The reason is simple: it is no longer beneficial for him to retry these cases.

Even if the defendant Lin Tailai can be sentenced, it shows that he was ignorant and indulged the defendant at the beginning!

And this is still a matter of revealing scars, which will only make Deng Zhixian recall the shame he has suffered again, how can he be happy?

Seeing that Wu County was unwilling to actively cooperate, Governor Wei looked at the officials of the government office again and asked, "How about the government office take over the eight cases?" ”

Governor Zhu glanced at Liu Tuiguan and replied: "Criminal and public cases are all matters of the Tuiguan Office, and the Tuiguan can call the shots." ”

Liu Tuiguan showed a look of embarrassment on his face, he didn't have interrogated Lin Tailai, and he knew how difficult Lin Tailai was.

Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.

In the case where all eight plaintiffs have withdrawn their lawsuits, it is Lin Tailai who is still on the horse, and it is too difficult. And it's definitely thankless and completely worthless!

Even if you handle these eight cases at any cost, what benefits can you give the governor boss? Can it make people upgrade three levels in a row?

So Liu Tuiguan also replied: "Xia Guan and Wu County have the same opinion, and the case has been dismissed, so there is no need to restart." ”

Governor Wei really didn't expect that the first thing he mentioned after going ashore was that the county government and the government government pushed the official hall to conflict together!

This was too unexpected for him, could it be that he, the governor, was fake?

Or is it that some underworld force has become rampant and has covered the sky in the local area?

The reason why Governor Wei forced the county government and the government to restart the case, instead of taking over the rectification himself, was also due to the rules of officialdom.

After all, theoretically, the governor is not a pro-people official, and the imperial court system generally does not allow skipping the level to try cases while not allowing them to go to the higher level.

A governor stretches out his hand downwards and is directly in charge of the grassroots judiciary at an unknown number of levels, which is a joke.

This is a little stiff, feeling that his face is a little unbearable, Governor Wei is full of anger, and reprimanded the officials:

"This court has served in various places for many years, and the standard of residence officials pursued is to love the people like children!

Isn't it suspicious that eight cases of the same defendant were closed at the same time?

This is as many as eight cases, and I don't know how many families have been affected!

These prefectural and county officials should have been close to the people, but they turned a deaf ear to the suspicions and turned a blind eye!

The upper and lower levels shirk so much, deliberately indulging the powerful and bullying, is simply colluding and joining hands to bully the common people, how can this hospital sit idly by? ”

The words of the old man of Futai are really righteous and awe-inspiring, and there is a strong light of righteousness in and out of his words, so righteous that the officials present do not know how to reply.

Dazhongcheng's words, if they want to be correct, they must be correct, but the situation is not like that.

In the cold field, someone suddenly shouted: "Good! What Dazhong Cheng said is excellent! The people of Suzhou really ushered in a Qingtian grandfather! ”

Who is so ignorant and doesn't understand what political cultivation is, and dares to speak so casually? The crowd immediately followed the sound.

It turned out that the person who spoke turned out to be Lin Tailai! Lin Tailai, the only defendant in those eight cases!

This is a bit magical, what is the operation of a strong man shouting at the officials who insist on sentencing him?

Ask for a commuter pass!! I can't finish the next chapter today, so I'll send it tomorrow at noon!
