The prefect is a doer, and decided to re-investigate the case, so he immediately returned to the county office, intending to re-interrogate the prisoner, and he asked Peng County Commander to arrange the arraignment, Peng County's eyes were obscure, but he had to do it.

The prefect first interrogated the bandits one by one, but their mouths were very hard, and after some interrogation, they refused to say anything, as if they were going to die generously.

Peng Xian Ling said from the side: "My lord, the lower officials have already interrogated them before, and they also have this attitude, these people are all outlaws, and the lower officials think that their relatives are long gone, otherwise they will not let the good people not do it, they have to do this thing." ”

The prefect glanced at him, "We are trying the case, and we are looking at the evidence, but we can't guess based on our own thoughts." Since this matter has not yet been investigated, then any situation is possible. ”

Peng Xian Ling was nodded by him, and his face unconsciously showed a somewhat sneering look, so he could only nod his head again and again, "What the prefect said." ”

He added: "If the families of those mountain bandits really live in the city, then when they return home, they will leave some traces more or less.

Take the portraits of these mountain bandits, and send people to the city to distribute them, to see who has seen them in the city.

In addition, those mountain bandits who have already subjugated the law also asked the painter to restore their appearance as much as possible, and use the same method to lock their families.

In addition, it is to send people to check one by one to see which families are well-off, but there are only old and weak women and children, no young and middle-aged people are at home, and the men in the family only come back occasionally.

All those who meet these conditions will be investigated one by one, and no household can be spared. ”

When Peng Xian Ling heard this, his face couldn't help but change slightly, but he quickly restrained his expression.

He hurriedly received the order, and immediately went to make arrangements, and listened to the prefect say: "You don't have many people in this county office, and it will take a lot of time to find out one by one, so I still transfer some people from the prefecture to get this matter done as soon as possible, and I can also give an explanation to the people as soon as possible." ”

Peng County's footsteps were stunned again, and something flashed quickly in his eyes.

After a moment, he smiled and complimented, "The prefect is really thoughtful and loves the people like a son, which really makes the officials admire!" ”

The prefect waved his hand, "It's not too late to pat the official's ass when this matter is clarified." ”

After a pause, the prefect seemed to suddenly remember something, "Is there still a person who colluded with the mountain bandits that has not yet been tried?" It seems to be the husband of the fried lady? ”

Peng Xianling nodded, "It's this person." ”

The prefect pondered for a moment, and then said: "Since the relatives of those mountain bandits have not yet been found, let's use this person's relatives to establish authority first, which can be regarded as an explanation to the people."

The official at the head of the court will immediately fold, but the relatives of this person within three generations will be arrested and imprisoned first. ”

When Peng Xianling heard this, his heart skipped another beat.

Because he suddenly remembered that Shen Yan and Shen Jun were cousins, wouldn't he have to be arrested and imprisoned together?

When the prefect goes to the imperial court, the probability of the imperial court approving this matter is extremely high, and at that time, Shen Jun will not be able to participate in the scientific examination in his life, and he will even be reduced to a slave.

Peng Xianling naturally didn't care about Shen Jun's life or death, but his daughter was desperate for him and fell in love, if he really became a slave, wouldn't it be a joke if he married his daughter to the other party again?

But if you don't get married, that girl is afraid that she will make a fuss!

That's just an afterthought, it's the current thing that matters.

The prefect is based on showing his attitude in front of the people, so now he needs an opportunity, and Shen Yan's family seems to have become a target for him to use the topic.

That's why he ordered Shen Yan's family to be arrested and imprisoned immediately.

According to the three generations, none of Shen Jun's family can escape, and for the sake of his daughter, Peng Xian Ling also has to think of ways to deal with the aftermath.

Peng Xian Ling scolded the scholar who blocked the road countless times in his heart, knowing that this was the case, he should have solved him directly, so that there would be no more trouble.

But life didn't know earlier, and now that things have happened, he can only try to think about the aftermath.

Peng County's heart center thought a few times, and was about to retire, when the prefect spoke again, "By the way, you can take care of the official for a few points, if she becomes a slave in the future, the official just bought her as a cook." ”

Peng County's expression was slightly stunned again.

Just now he was still thinking in his heart that the only benefit of Shen Yan's matter was that his wife would also be implicated and imprisoned and reduced to slavery.

This time in prison, I can try to learn from her as much as I want, and I can also vent my anger for my daughter.

But before this idea could be implemented, it was directly extinguished by the words of the prefect.

He couldn't help but wonder again in his heart, did this prefect have something to do with that woman? Didn't he really fall in love with that woman? Otherwise, how can you help her three or four times?

This also explains why he doesn't care about Shen Yan's life and death, Shen Yan is dead, so he can more justifiably take his wife for himself.

Peng Xianling felt that he had seen through the heavens, and the idea of wanting to take the opportunity to learn from that woman was completely dispelled.

For the sake of a woman, it is indeed impossible to offend the prefect.

As for the grievances suffered by his daughter, he can only wronged her.

At the moment, he still has a lot of things to arrange, and he can't care about it.

Peng Xian Ling hurriedly arranged things, and the prefect's gaze fell on him with a slight scrutiny.

With the prefect in charge here, Peng County Ling didn't dare to make any small moves, so he could only put Shen Jun, Shen Dahe and others in prison as soon as possible.

Suddenly thrown into prison, they were completely stunned.

They also happened to be locked up with Shen Dazhu, and Shen Dazhu was just as stunned when he saw them.

What's the matter, are their Shen family going to occupy the cell?

When they learned that they were implicated by Shen Jun, their original incomprehension completely turned into anger and disbelief.

Shen Dahe jumped like thunder, "This, how can this be?" The bandit is clearly him, so what does it have to do with us? ”

Shen Jun was stabbed in a sensitive nerve by the inability to take the imperial examination.

He has been working his hand rehabilitation lately, and now he can pick up the pen again and start practicing calligraphy, although it is difficult, but the doctor said that he is recovering well, and in time, he can recover at least seven or eight points.

With these seven or eight points, he also gave birth to hope and felt that he had a goal in life again.

It's a big deal, he will wait for the next three years, and by then he will have almost recovered, and he will review more solidly and steadily, and he will definitely be able to successfully title the gold list.

But now, because of a Shen Yan, his dream of the imperial examination is about to be shattered?

How can he accept this?

Even Shen Dazhu can't accept being reduced to slavery, although he is a mud leg from the countryside, but he is a free body, reduced to slavery, that is, inferior, doing the work of serving people, he has to serve people when he is old, he would rather die!
