"Come in."

Su Liuye said.

In the next second, the door of the room was pushed open, and Xiao Wu came in with a few oil bags, which contained hot cooked food. She looked through the information in the yamen and got it too late, so she didn't have time to get dinner, so she went out to buy cooked food and came back.

She went to the kitchen to pack all the cooked food, put it on the table one by one, and at the same time took out some of the volumes that had been sorted out from the yamen and handed them to Su Liuye, "Mrs. Chu, look at it, these are the files I got back from the yamen, and there are information about the prefects on them, and the person you want to find should be this person named Wei Zhong." ”

Following what Xiao Wu said, Su Liuye quickly found the part related to Wei Zhong on the scroll.

According to the records, Wei Zhong was the longest-serving prefect of Pingyang Town. During his tenure, he managed the town of Binh Duong in an orderly manner, making the town's residents live more well-being, and most importantly, Wei Zhong specially formulated a set of rules for the mine, which made the management of the mine more standardized, and the working environment of the miners in the mine was greatly improved.

As soon as this set of management methods came out, the output of the mine immediately went up, and the first emperor specially praised Wei Zhong at that time, saying that he was a rare talent with good management, because he had been left in Pingyang Town to manage the mine.

Seeing this, Su Liuye frowned, it seems that Wei Zhong should be very prestigious in the town at present, how can he be the murderer who shielded the master and killed the people?

Probably seeing Su Liuye's doubts, Xiao Wu explained, "Madam, these are all files compiled by the Yamen, and the records are still complete, and these are the people's evaluation of Wei Zhong, which I bought from a storyteller with some thought. ”

"That man lives in the area of Pingyang Town, and has been a storyteller for many years. When Wei Zhong first arrived in Pingyang Town, he was indeed a parent official who cared about the people, but as the popularity of the people became higher and higher, Wei Zhong became more and more elegant, so that he did many things that violated his original intention. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Wu handed her a book, "These are all the records of Mr. Storyteller, in addition to what he saw with his own eyes, there are also many residents who told him, he sorted them out one by one, originally wanted to wait until Wei Zhong was transferred out and then tell the story to the people in the town, who knew that Wei Zhong had been staying in Pingyang Town, so he naturally didn't dare to say it." ”

While listening to Xiao Wu's explanation, Su Liuye opened the book written by the storyteller, only to see that it was densely filled with Wei Zhong's crimes.

On the surface, he is an official who thinks about his parents for the sake of the people, but in fact he is a greedy and lustful person, although he has a talent, he can't hide his inferior nature.

It is recorded in the book that Wei Zhong already had a wife before he came to Pingyang Town, who was a good match for him, and was also born in a scholarly family. At first, Wei Zhong would pretend to be affectionate with his wife and gain a good reputation in the town, but as his popularity among the people grew, he began to attack the daughters of his subordinates.

There is no shortage of brutes in this world who will sell people for status and money, and there are just a few around Wei Zhong. These people sent their daughters to Wei Zhong one after another, and those who did not have daughters went elsewhere to find them until they found one that Wei Zhong was satisfied with.

At first, these things were carried out in secret, but gradually, Wei Zhong's fame grew, and his actions became more and more arrogant.

It didn't take long for his evil deeds to be discovered, and villagers began to want to go to the capital to complain, but his reputation in Pingyang Town was too great, and there was no need for Wei Zhong to do anything, and the villagers spontaneously stopped others from complaining.

The infighting between the villagers itself was difficult to attract the attention of the imperial court, so for so many years, Wei Zhong's affairs have not been exposed.

He acted very measuredly, and although he did things that were inferior to animals in private, he still did good things for the sake of the people on the surface. Some people hated him to the core, and some people desperately defended him, and Wei Zhong relied on these people who supported him to stay in Pingyang Town all the time.

The turning point of events finally came to Wei Zhong's wife.

Su Liuye turned the page of the book, which recorded that Wei Zhong's wife, Wei Yang, was a scholarly family, and her father used to serve in the Ministry of Rites, but later retired because of his age, but despite this, Father Yang was still very prestigious.

Wei Zhong was originally just a disciple of Daddy Yang, because of his intelligence and agility, he was loved by Daddy Yang, and when he was famous, Daddy Yang married his only daughter to him.

Although Wei Yang is not a beautiful woman, she is also delicate and lovely, and she has married Wei Zhong and taught her husband and children, and abides by her wife's duty.

At the beginning, Wei Zhong was still a good husband, but as he became more and more famous in Pingyang Town, he became more and more arrogant, gradually revealing his true nature. At first, he would hide it from Wei Yang's family, but later he simply brought it back.

According to what is written in Mr. Storyteller's book, Wei Yang was at first because these girls were voluntary, although it was uncomfortable, but as a qualified wife, she would not interfere in these matters of her husband, let alone be jealous of these little girls.

It was only once that a girl ran out of Wei Zhong's room crying, and Wei Yang knew that her husband was a hypocrite and a real villain, who used his identity to kidnap other people's daughters in the town.

Wei Yang, who knew the truth, was shocked, and he didn't expect his husband to be such a person at all. Wei Yang was taught by Father Yang, and his knowledge and talent were not inferior to a man's, so naturally he couldn't accept what Wei Zhong did. She took advantage of Wei Zhong's inattention to let the little girl go, and when Wei Zhong angrily questioned, Wei Yang calmly retorted.

The specific experience is not recorded in the book, but after this time, there was a gap between Wei Zhong and Wei Yang, and the two had no children, and there was no concern between the blood. After this quarrel, Wei Yang lived alone in the small courtyard, and Wei Zhong was still ridiculous.

At that time, he had already been appreciated by the first emperor, and he was a famous figure in Pingyang Town, and even in the capital, he was quite prestigious.

probably knew that Wei Zhong had a bad relationship with his wife, and many people wanted to marry their daughter to Wei Zhong as a wife, and they might be able to follow Wei Zhong to rise to prominence in the future, and there was even a daughter from the prime minister's family.

After this matter was known to Wei Yang, it was naturally impossible for her to watch an innocent girl's family fall into the hands of Wei Zhong, deceived by him, and defiled by him. Wei Yang listed Wei Zhong's charges one by one and sent someone to send them to the girls' homes. Suddenly receiving these evidences, the women who had not left the cabinet were naturally frightened, and they canceled their marriage with Wei Zhong one after another.

Wei Zhong was furious when he learned about this, he didn't expect that a woman who stayed in the backyard all day could have such ability!
