Sun Qian was reluctant to rush forward when he was fighting, and he was unwilling to carry the black pot when he was doing things, it was all done by fools, so he felt that it was better to wait for the official document of the impeachment case to come down before killing people, and it was more safe.

So Sun Qian sent a second batch of messengers to send the case file and take the official document of impeachment according to the judge; The first messengers went to deliver confessions with handprints drawn. Zhang Wen also sent a sword to Zuo Guangdou to inform him of what was happening here.

At this time, Zhang Wen had already realized that the person who was under probation might use his hands and feet in his confession and do things that were framed. It was also a coincidence that he helped them catch the salt bandits yesterday, if it weren't for Zhang Wen's presence, wouldn't it have gone very smoothly according to the inspector's envoy? Or Zhang Wen didn't help them get things done, and they couldn't take the salt bandits in Fuyang, who knows which place they would choose the salt bandits?

A group of people have been tinkering with the small Fuyang County Ya for a long time, and they haven't figured things out yet. But at this time, Xu Kai already felt that he had a clue, and he got a confession. This confession was originally given to him by Yang Luo, who was in the middle of the household, and it was of little significance, but at this time, it had already traveled to Fuyang County, and it had the criminal's drawing and handprint on it, and it immediately became meaningful.

The black-faced Yang Luo rushed to the judge, took the confession and read it carefully, he already knew the content, he looked at it very carefully, it was to look at the handprints on it, and laughed after reading it: "It's okay to kill people, but keep the corpses, and soon things will start, Donglin's gang will definitely quarrel, and if they don't accept it, they will dig up the dead people and make the handprints." ”

According to the inspector, Xu Kai has big ears and big eyes, and his face is wide and square, this kind of righteous face is suitable for being an official. He was wearing a red robe, and according to the inspector, he was an official of the third grade, four levels older than Tobu Langzhong. But officials can't just look at the rank and color of clothes, Yang Luo is the first assistant Fang Congzhe's person, not to mention this, the cabinet and civil officials often quarrel, but there is another point I have to say, Yang Luo is Yang Hao's brother, Yang Hao is a person who has some friends in the Zhejiang Party. According to the inspector Xu Kai, as a member of the Zhejiang Party, he didn't understand this, so it was better to tear the black gauze hat on his head to make an insole.

"Sit, Lord Yang sit down and drink tea." In addition to greeting, he put himself in a position equal to Yang Luo.

Yang Luo also sat down calmly, put the confession on the coffee table casually, Xu Kai hurriedly put it away, and carefully put it into his sleeve pocket. Yang Luo picked up the teacup, put it on the table again, and said, "What are we still rubbing here?" Hurry up and get those salt merchants arrested. ”

Xu Kai said: "Mr. Sun Qian hasn't finished killing anyone yet, let's wait a little longer." ”

Yang Luo sighed, picked up the teacup he had put on the table again, and was about to drink it, but put it down again, and even Xu Kai felt an inexplicable feeling of discomfort in his eyes.

"Lord Xu, you are just too cautious, Mr. Sun Qian is holding the official document of the province, a small county in Fuyang, can you still be disobedient? I don't think I'll wait, I won't be able to do anything if I wait for this day, and it will be dark. ”

Xu Kai thought about it, and what Yang Luo said was not wrong, so he stood up and said, "Then I'll arrest someone now." After that, he wrote a card ticket and almost killed the officers and soldiers of the government, and arrested the salt merchants in Hangzhou separately. The crime is to collude with illegal salt bandits and sell illegal salt for huge profits. Yes, the confession is written about who the salt bandits are in contact with.

The salt merchants were far and near, and the officers and soldiers who were arrested were out at the same time, so some of the salt merchants who were farther away heard the news before they were arrested, and hurriedly sent people to inform their friends, and these friends, naturally, included some officials.

Zuo Guangdou was in the branch of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, reading the letter from the servant sword, Zhang Wen wrote everything that happened clearly. Not long after, Zuo Guangdou learned the news of the arrest of the salt merchants by the envoys.

He listened to the list of some salt merchants, paced a few steps, and secretly shouted that it was not good, and the Zhejiang Party must be using salt bandits to frame salt merchants. Zuo Guangdou's face was heavy, and he said in his heart that the Zhejiang Party had spent so much effort that even the envoys were dispatched, and they would never attack the salt merchants just for the sake of salt prices, and they did not lack the money to buy salt.

With the threat of colluding with smugglers to let people bite Donglin?

Zuo Guangdou looked at the sword who delivered the letter and asked, "Ma Xiancheng and Sun Qian haven't killed those salt bandits yet, right?" ”

The sword arched his hand and said: "Back to Lord Zuo, Lord Zhang is trying to stop it, and he hasn't done it yet." ”

Zuo Guangdou groaned: "When the official document of the inspector arrived in Fuyang, Zhang asked a salt class to promote, and there was no power to stop it. The old man had to go to Fuyang in person. ”

A scribe wearing a cloth robe and a bun without a crown next to him said: "Master, Qingyang is also in Fuyang, he is a member of the Inspectorate, and he can intervene temporarily." The salt merchant is also very important, and it is in the city of Hangzhou, and the road is near. ”

Zuo Guangdou said: "Qingyang is the old man's student, the old man understands him, he is good at cultivation, not good at power and scheming, Qingyang can't control this matter." Besides, it is to arrest the salt merchant according to the inspection order, it is to arrest it openly, and it is useless for us to go...... Everything has to start at the source. ”

"Yes, students are taught."

Zuo Guangdou and the others did not dare to delay, and immediately rode to Fuyang. From Hangzhou to Fuyang, about 80 miles of road, usually take the waterway, if you are in a hurry, you should ride a horse faster. The horse galloped forward, and it could run eighty or ninety miles in an hour, but the road was rugged, and it would take more than an hour for Zuo Guangdou to rush to it at the earliest.

They hadn't arrived in Fuyang yet, and they had already arrived one step ahead of the judges' tolerance.

Mr. Sun Qian got the official document, pressed it on the official case in the county hall, and said with a smile: "Ma Xiancheng, see clearly, this is an official document sealed by the judge, let's do it." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Wen, who was standing next to him, looked at Chu Sang and said: "Lord Chu is a member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he has the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials, this case is wrong, you have to think about it in the long run, people can't just kill it like this." ”

"A group of salt bandits, openly confronting the government, so many people watched from the salt works arrested, they had already confessed, and they were innocent of death. What's wrong with the case? ”

Zhang Wen glanced at the person who spoke, it was the official who came to deliver the letter, wearing a scarf, wearing a green suit, and the round neck decoration was very small, it should be a petty official such as a leader in the judges, and people who have been mixed in the provincial government are always a little experienced, but they are not as easy to deal with as Sun Qianzong Ma County.

Zhang Wen pondered, he is a person from the Salt Division, no matter how he says, he can't care about the criminal name, if you care about it, I'm afraid that this messenger will refute it if it is about you, at this time, only Chu Sang can tear his face and stalk him, after all, Chu Sang is from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, although the grade is small, but the criminal name of the official is still reasonable.

So Zhang Wen looked at Chu Sang hopefully, pointed at him and spoke, as long as Chu Sang resolutely disagreed with the beheading, it was okay to drag on a few big hats and drag on time.

Zhang Wen thought about it: Zuo Guangdou got my letter, and he must not be relieved about the matter here, I am afraid that it will not be long before he can come over in person.

When Zhang Wen was crackling and calculating in his heart, he didn't expect Chu Sang to say a word: "This is a case that has been impeached according to the inspector's investigation, and the salt bandits are innocent and innocent, and there is no grievance, so we can't manage it." ”

When Zhang Wen heard this, he was dumbfounded, and he couldn't speak for a long time, daring to love Zuo Guangdou's students, who only cared about cultivating benevolence, righteousness and morality?

The green-robed messenger listened, and said, "What's the point? Ma Xiancheng, the official document of the province is here, what to do, what to do. ”

At this time, Zhang Wen was out of recruitment, and the people on his side said that he had killed well, Zhang Wen was a big head, and said in a hurry: "Let this official look at the official documents." "Anyway, it's a little bit of a delay.

The messenger frowned and said, "With all due respect, Lord Zhang, you are a person from the Salt Sect Lifting Division, how can you take care of the punishment?" ”

Zhang asked angrily: "Lao Tzu just wants to take care of it, what? ”

The messenger shook his head, ignored Zhang's question, and turned to Ma Xiancheng and said, "Don't you need to seal it yet?" Ma Xiancheng hurriedly opened the seal box on the official case and took the county seal. Because it was a case tried in Fuyang County, and the execution was carried out in Fuyang County, even if this case was a case in Fuyang County, according to the prosecutor, it was only impeached, and the county seal was indispensable for the final killing.

The table circumference spread on the public case, just like Zhang Wen's feeling, was stained with blood.

Zhang Wen suddenly roared: "Who dares?" ”

Ma Xiancheng was startled, and the big seal in his hand fell on the public case and rolled down the case, and Ma Xiancheng hurriedly held it with both hands.

"This official is an official from the Wupin Imperial Court, who is bigger than me here? If I say I can't kill, I can't kill! ”

The messenger looked at Zhang in amazement and asked, dare to love this Lord Zhang is messing around? The messenger patted the official document of the inspector on the official case, "Lord Zhang, this is the official document of the provincial prosecutor, to put it bluntly, it is according to the order of the inspector, according to the inspector is the third grade, you are the salt class promotion division, let's not talk about it, but it is still from the fifth grade, how can it be too big to go according to the inspector, right?" ”

Zhang asked, "This official document is fake!" Guys see it clearly! "Da Ming Law": Fraudulently deceitful for the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Political Division, the Judicial Division, the Prefecture, the Prefecture and the rest of the Yamen documents, deceive the people who collect money and property, and ask the border guards to join the army. Then he turned around and pointed to Ma Xianchengdao, "The official in charge of the document or the case knows about this kind of concealment and does not report it, and if he allows it to be left unchecked, he will be guilty of the same crime, and those who do not know will not be guilty." This official reminds you that if the official document is fake, you are knowingly committing it, Ma Xiancheng, see it clearly? ”

"Master Zhang...... What are you doing here, can the seal on it be fake? "The messenger has been fooled into a hundred slaps.

Zhang Wencai doesn't care if the official document is true or not...... Maybe it's true, he ran to the public case first, picked up the "Da Ming Law" in the corner of the case, opened it and said: "Come and see, Lao Tzu remembers it clearly, thinking he lied to you?" If you know that you are forging official documents and let them go, the lightest thing is to confiscate the army. But now that human life is at stake, what kind of sin is it...... Let's flip through it. ”

Ma Xiancheng looked at the official document and leaned his head over to look at the book in Zhang Wen's hand. Kill or not, Guanma County's, don't pour dirty water on Lao Tzu.
