Chapter 497 The road is narrow
Liu Zhang saw that he was a little weak-hearted, and the killing of cattle must have something to do with him.
Even if it wasn't done by him, it could be said that someone else did it.
Local officials knew about his mistakes, but they made Qi Ertie a scapegoat.
After a quarter of an hour, the Truth Potion should have worked.
"I suspect that the cattle killing case has something to do with you, and you tell me what you know."
Whatever Liu Zhang asked, he said, and Green Valley felt that his methods were magical.
"The ploughing cow was killed by Lai San and Lai Wu, I just said a word. When Qi Santie is executed after autumn, Midoriya will become my concubine. ”
"You are framing others for the sake of other people's wives, and you are knowing the law and breaking the law."
"He and I were originally from Tianshui County, Longxi County, because our family conditions were good, and the imperial court issued an edict to let our family move here."
The Niu family still has a certain amount of power in Tianshui County, and the imperial court forcibly relocated some local families to the border.
Either let them go to guard the mausoleum, or go to live on the border.
This move by the imperial court was intended to weaken the influence of some local families on the local area.
Liu Che did this to strengthen the centralization of power and alleviate the problem of land annexation.
"So the case of killing the ploughing cattle is related to you, and you have framed others for your own selfishness."
This is to put Qi Ertie to death, and this kind of behavior is very bad.
Liu Zhang was so angry that he wanted to kill him with a knife, and in order to possess other people's wives, he framed others.
"Since you are involved in this case, then punish it according to law."
Now that the case has come to light, the case needs to be further interrogated, and the relevant personnel will be arrested for interrogation.
"Mingfu County, what did you just give him? Is what he says credible? ”
Guo Huai felt that the methods used by Liu Zhang were a bit problematic, and he could make the other party say it obediently without punishment.
Lai San and Lai Wu were then brought over, and they also drank the Truth Telling Potion.
They told everything they knew, and some of those present were shocked.
Unexpectedly, several officials were involved, and Liu Zhang was also shocked.
Five of the ten counties in Wuwei County have officials who have violated laws and disciplines, and the highest is the county order.
The county magistrate of Cangsong County was also among them, and he privately accepted bribes to protect some township officials.
The county magistrate Guo Huai is also at fault, and he knows what happened.
But he turned a blind eye and misjudged the case of killing the ploughing cattle.
was misled by Shangguan Chong and others, and almost made a big mistake.
"Don't listen to their nonsense, I'm not involved."
Shangguan Chong looked a little excited, and he firmly denied that he had not embezzled or accepted bribes.
It has nothing to do with the killing of ploughing cattle, and they can't convict him with a few words.
"You are suspecting that there is something wrong with my potion, since the ploughing ox was not killed by Qi Ertie. They have confessed to killing the ploughing ox, and as for your wrongdoing, I will investigate it. ”
It's not that Liu Zhang hasn't given them a chance, they don't know how to restrain themselves.
The court gave them a lot of money, and they wanted to get more benefits.
Even forced those people to give them at least half of their points before redeeming them.
Those who work dare not speak out, and these officials become even more violent.
"I told you before that you can't be corrupt or take bribes. If you don't listen to me, you've violated the law of the Han Dynasty. ”
When the evidence is collected, he will report the matter to the imperial court.
"Mingfu-kun, you can't believe their nonsense."
Guo Huai felt that Liu Zhang's methods were difficult to believe, and maybe the medicine he used had hallucinogenic effects.
He wanted to help Qi Ertie clear his name and make several people in front of him confess.
"Do you think there's something wrong with the medicine I'm using, they're not telling the truth."
The crowd did not answer, is that unclear?
"I use a Truth Telling potion, which can temporarily make people lose their self-control. Whatever you ask, the other person will answer according to what you asked. ”
When everyone heard this, they thought that there was still this miraculous medicine, and wouldn't it be able to know the secrets of other people.
If they could get this potion, it would be a lot easier.
"Mingfujun, where did you get this potion? Can there be any excess? ”
Shangguan Chong wanted to buy some truth-spitting potions from him, and also hoped that he would not be held accountable for corruption and bribery.
Everyone works together, and when the time comes, they will take care of each other.
"This potion is under the control of the Imperial Lieutenant's Office, and I don't have much in my hands. This time, some corrupt and bribed officials, I will truthfully report to the imperial court. ”
In the end, it was up to the imperial court to decide how to punish them, and Liu Zhang was not afraid of offending them.
Huo Quzhi watched from the sidelines, and he felt that Liu Zhang had done a good job.
He also hated these corrupt officials, and Wuwei County was a newly established county.
But this kind of infuriating thing happened, and he and Liu Zhang had to guard against the invasion of the Huns during this time.
After investigation, it was found that the cattle in the five villages were killed by Lai San and Lai Wu.
The two of them were instructed by Niu Gao, who thought that this thing had been done seamlessly.
"You think you have done a tricky job, but if you want others to know it, you don't know it unless you do it. I also want to say to you that the legal net is magnificent, and it is not leaky. ”
Liu Zhang ordered the men to be imprisoned, and he officially acquitted Qi Ertie.
Green Valley and Qi Huangdou thanked him, and the mother and son were very excited.
"If any of you is corrupt or bribed, you will be punished by the law of the Han Dynasty."
Liu Zhang didn't need to intercede with them, if these people secretly retaliated against him.
Then they will regret it, and next, the Qi Ertie family must be properly settled.
lest some people take revenge on their family and give him some compensation appropriately.
"They've only made a small mistake, so why not give them a chance to mend their ways?"
Guo Huai interceded for them, if these officials were dismissed.
The imperial court sent someone to take over, and it would take a long time.
"If officials everywhere are like you, then the law of the Han Dynasty will not have any prestige."
Now is not the end of the Western Han Dynasty, everything is normal.
If these officials are not punished, the people will be uneasy.
"I told you before that you have to do your duty. The court is not thin on you, and some people are just not greedy enough. ”
Liu Zhang was not merciful this time, and those officials had already violated the law and discipline before.
Liu Zhang didn't pursue it, and they have intensified it recently.
At this moment, a Han army came to Liu Zhang and them.
"Ming Fujun, General Huo, the Huns invaded Longyan, Tiger Hill, Sand Leopard and other pavilion barriers."
Sure enough, as they expected, the Huns will definitely come to invade in the next few days.
"Then let's hurry up and support, it's really non-stop."
Since Liu Zhang came to Wuwei County, he hasn't had much rest.
Not only must they deal with local affairs, but they must also be on guard against Xiongnu invasions at all times.
Liu Zhang asked the simulator robot to send the 72 Tie family to Guzang City, where they were relatively safe.
These officials temporarily administered the local area under the penalty of sin, waiting for the punishment of the imperial court.
If they dared to secretly collude with the Xiongnu, Liu Zhang had the right to kill them.
They rode away on their horses, and they hurried to support the Huns' invasion of the pavilion.
Fortunately, those pavilion barriers were not far from them, and Liu Zhang and Huo Qubing were separated to support.
This time the Huns were menacing, and they thought that it would be easier to invade in the spring than in the winter.
Liu Zhang came to the Tiger Hill Pavilion Barrier, and it was already dusk at this moment.
The Xiongnu were stationed outside the Great Wall, and they did not rush to climb over the Great Wall.
Behind the Great Wall was the truce, and the Great Wall in front of them was made of rammed earth.
Such a Great Wall could not completely defend against the Huns, but it cannot be said to be useless.
Liu Zhang looked at the Xiongnu camp with a telescope, and he saw an acquaintance.
That person is Zhao Xin, and it seems that he personally brought the Huns over.
"Zhao Xin, a capricious guy, still dares to come here, this time I will let him come and go."
Liu Zhang smiled confidently, it seems that there are not many generals among the Huns who can fight well.
In recent years, the number of people who have been killed is almost the same, and the Huns are not as arrogant as before.
Zhao Xin may be one of the few Huns who can fight, and he can't change the fate of the Huns' defeat.
"Zhao Xin, you still dare to come here, you capricious guy."
Liu Zhang shouted to Zhao Xin, whether he could hear it or not.
Zhao Xin was inspecting the camp with several Huns, and he saw an acquaintance standing on the Great Wall.
I didn't expect to meet Liu Zhang here, and it was a bit difficult to attack this section of the Great Wall this time.
"It's you, you're really busy, I don't believe you can support other places this time."
Zhao Xin was thinking that if he met Liu Zhang, he would drag him as much as possible.
To relieve the pressure on other places, he also heard that Huo Qu was sick.
Each of them guards a pavilion barrier and a section of the Great Wall, but other places may not be able to hold it.
Zhao Xin smiled, he was not in a hurry to climb over the Great Wall at that time.
Anyway, there are not many supplies to grab in Wuwei County, before the winter of this year.
We must recapture the land west of the river and open up the connection with the countries of the Western Regions.
Liu Zhang also smiled while standing on the Great Wall, he roughly guessed Zhao Xin's intentions.
I'm afraid I'll disappoint him this time, as long as he is here, the Huns don't want to cross the Great Wall.
