Chapter 316: Let's Shake the Pot
Cui Xianzun laughed, the county is just asking Governor Zhou to enforce the law impartially. Wu Lixin said coldly.
"Really, then the county will be relieved. Cui Pu smiled lightly, "Otherwise, if the prefect simply attributed this matter to Liu Wu's jealousy and hatred of Liu San's family, so he framed him, which would be too simple." This Liu Wu is a scoundrel, and this county has been in Tianchang County for three years, and he has not set off any storms. As a result, the county has only been gone for two years, and he was able to buy off the jailers to torture Liu San, and even made a fake picture of the prisoner, do you think this matter is too, or is Wuxian Zun, you, the magistrate, are too lazy to even manage his subordinates?"
If it is said that things are too, then it will only be so if he secretly instructs it, and he will admit it so if he is stupid; and if he admits the latter, it is not for him to admit that he is incompetent, the magistrate of the county, and he has been in Tianchang County for a year and a half, and he still can't even control those people, and can only watch them run rampant? Especially if this is the case, isn't it just for him to take the initiative to admit that he is inferior to him Cui Pu?
Neither option is right. Cui Pu clearly blocked all his retreats, so that he had no choice at all!
Wu Lixin bit his heart alive. It's just that now that there are so many people staring outside, he can only quietly glance at Governor Zhou's mansion.
Now, what can he do? Cui Pu has clearly driven them into a dead end, and now he has no choice but to admit that the verdict was wrong! Now the only option is this way of doing things.
But looking at Wu Lixin's reaction, he was unwilling to choose either, forcing himself to help him think of a perfect way to get out. But what can you come up with?
You yourself are too reckless, and the surname Cui is too pressing, you are not on the same level as him at all. As a result, you still want to fight with him, isn't this shameless?
Zhou Zhifu thought in his heart, but he still racked his brains to think about it, and after all, to no avail, he glanced at the master on the side.
Master's face immediately changed, and he rushed over to hold his hand and shouted, "Master, what's wrong with you?
Governor Zhou hurriedly leaned on him and said with a weak face: "It should be." The county now only feels dizzy and weak, and he can't even speak. ”
"Hurry up and help the master down to rest!" the master hurriedly shouted. Taking advantage of the fact that Governor Zhou was helped down, he hurriedly turned his head and laughed, "The prefect has always had an old problem with heartache, and it will attack from time to time. It should have been because I was angry when I heard about the case just now, which caused the old illness again, and now I need to recuperate. Let's see that it's not too early, so let's retire today! Wait until tomorrow when the prefect is in good health. As for these people...... Liu Wu confessed to the crime and was first put in prison for arraignment tomorrow. As for Wu Xianzun and Cui Xianzun, since the two of you are also closely related to this case, don't go back today, stay here, and wait for the verdict of this case tomorrow before leaving. ”
A series of arrangements are very appropriate.
Cui Pu said with a smile: "Even if you don't say it, master, this county must stay today." Liu San has already been injured like this, who knows who will do something to him tonight?
The corners of Wu Lixin's mouth couldn't help twitching again.
Cui Pu immediately turned his gaze to him again: "By the way, there are a lot of good medicines for bruises in this county, which are much better than those sold in pharmacies outside, do you want to use them in Wuxian Zun?"
While gesturing to take out the medicine bottle, but when the bottle was taken out, he made a move. "This county just remembered that the injuries on your body were all beaten by this county! Otherwise, you should keep this injury first, and when Governor Zhou is better tomorrow, you can judge the county's guilt through your injuries!"
Wu Lixin immediately reacted - Zhou Zhifu was so sick and escaped, but Cui Pu had not yet sorted out the matter of beating himself for no reason! Could it be that he really wanted to wait until tomorrow with this injury?
However, in the face of Cui Pu's earnest eyes, he smiled coldly: "Thank you Cui Xianzun for your concern, but your medicine is not needed! This county wants to keep this injury, and let Governor Zhou get justice for this county tomorrow!"
"That's for the best. Cui Pu immediately bowed his head and went to help Liu San in person.
Wu Lixin also looked at the master coldly: "Show me the way!"
After entering the guest room of the prefect's mansion, Cui Pu immediately called someone to bring hot water to scrub Liu San's body, clean his wounds, and then give medicine to his wounds one by one.
Liu San and his wife were inexplicably moved.
"It's not good for us to involve you again for no reason. You've done enough for us that we don't have to do it anymore. Liu San used the medicine made by Mu Jiaojiao himself, and now he feels much better, so he said with tears in his eyes.
Cui Pu had a cold face. "You are from this county, this is something that the entire Yangzhou government knows. If the county doesn't beat him back, everyone else will immediately know that the county is an incompetent person, and they can't even protect the people who have followed him for many years. Then next, the surname Wu will definitely intensify. Therefore, this matter has nothing to do with you, it is a competition between the county and him, but you are unfortunately involved. ”
"I understand what you mean. It's just that if I hadn't had to move out of Tianchang County, he wouldn't have done anything to me. If you don't attack me, you will naturally not be involved, so that it is to this point. Now, how can you end up?" Even though he felt a little relieved when he heard his words, Liu San was more worried about him in his heart.
Such a person, how can he not do his best to save him from the tiger's mouth?
"You don't have to worry about this, the county has its own ideas. Cui Pu comforted him a few more words, then got up and went out.
After standing quietly in the courtyard outside for a while, he heard a sound of light footsteps coming behind him.
Since practicing, Cui Pu's ear strength has improved a lot. As soon as he heard the footsteps, he knew that it belonged to Xiao Si'er, so he didn't bother to look back, and only asked, "What's the matter?"
"The lady just ordered someone to send a letter to Lang Jun, and you came over. ”
Xiao Si'er hurriedly handed over a letter, Cui Pu opened it and looked at it, but saw that there was only a blank piece of paper in the envelope. When I unfolded the paper, there were only two black palm prints on it, which were small and I couldn't see anything.
"What is this?"
The lady said that this is the palm print of the little lady, and it was just printed and sent to someone. If you don't go back to sleep tonight, she will send a little lady to accompany you. ”
Cui Pu immediately felt a warmth in his heart, and hurriedly looked at his daughter's palm print over and over again, before carefully folding it and putting it away in an intimate place.
At the beginning of the night, a figure sneaked in Wu Lixin's courtyard.
Seeing the visitor, Wu Lixin immediately sank his face: "That's how you do things?"
Governor Zhou looked weak. "Wu Xianzun, things suddenly developed to this point, I didn't expect it! Who knew that Cui Pu was so strong, and he would jump out for Liu San at this time. Now he clearly wants to make a big deal out of it, and in that case, we can only try our best to keep things down. ”
"How else can you press it?"
"Just above the court, didn't you say that Liu Wu is a two-faced person, and since he has already admitted that this case was falsely accused by him, then we must take this false accusation to the ground! As for the fact that the Tianchang County jailer secretly tortured the prisoner, there must be someone who took advantage of your trust to act recklessly. The top priority is to find this person as soon as possible. In this way, although you have been negligent, it is not a big deal. Have the courage to admit your mistakes, and then write a letter to Concubine Hui, and Concubine Hui will naturally see that you have a good attitude of admitting your mistakes, and will also help you say a few good words in front of the saint. ”
He understood. That is to say, find a henchman to be a backbiter. In this way, the guilt of his lax majesty can be reduced a lot, because that is his most trusted confidant, he has relied on him for five years, who knows that person will suddenly become bad? Even if he is wrong, he only does not know people clearly, which is much better than deliberately conniving at the jailers to torture prisoners!
"That's all there is to it. Wu Lixin nodded, "Then Mr. Qian!" That old man has been reluctant to follow me since he followed, and he has a stinky face all day long. A few days ago, he was still clamoring to return to his hometown! I have been raising him for five years, and he has not done anything for me, and he suddenly shouted that he wants to go back to his hometown in the countryside to care for the elderly.
Mr. Money?
Hearing this, Governor Zhou was all shocked -- Mr. Qian was an old gentleman specially selected by Wu Shilang to give him advice! As a result, now, this person is actually going to return to his hometown? So how disappointed is he in Wu Lixin? And Wu Lixin, he actually wants to push him out as a scapegoat......
If I were myself, I wouldn't do it. But now, looking at Wu Lixin's indignant expression, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
"Now that the candidate has been finalized, let's hurry up and discuss this matter, and before dawn tomorrow, we must come up with a specific charter. ”
"Then you don't think about it quickly!" Wu Lixin immediately shouted.
The night passed, and the next morning, Wang Tingshi really arrived in Yangzhou City.
When the court opened again, Wu Lixin immediately changed his mind and unconditionally supported the reversal of the case. That Liu Wu spent the night in prison, and after he came out, he also changed his words, insisting that he did it alone, and the reason why he bit Wu Lixin yesterday was just that he thought that Wu Lixin was a member of Concubine Wu Hui's clan, and he would be punished less if he followed. Subsequently, he obediently confessed to his accomplice, Mr. Qian.
Poor Mr. Qian had already packed his baggage and was going back to the countryside to retire, but he was tied up in a daze, and such a big hat was deducted from him.
It's just that after hearing Liu Wu's identification of him, there was not much panic in his eyes, and he didn't jump up and shout that he was wronged, but just smiled coldly and said to Wu Lixin: "Wu Shilang's great kindness to Qian, Qian has nothing to repay, and he has always been deeply ashamed in his heart. Thank you Erlangjun for what you did today, you let Qian go without regrets!"
Wu Lixin panicked in his heart, and suddenly felt as if he had lost something important. But if you think about it carefully, you can take this opportunity to get rid of this old man, and you can also prevent him from being bribed to do something harmful to the martial arts family after he returns to his hometown in the countryside, and his father and aunt will definitely praise him for being improvised, what is there for him to panic?
Only Cui Pu sneered in his heart when he saw this--This move by surnamed Wu was really a big mistake, and he might as well take the responsibility directly on his head! Now that Mr. Qian's matter has happened, who of the other people will dare to follow him with peace of mind? Within half a year, they will all be gone. Even if there is a new person, there will not be a few people who are so dedicated to assisting him.
This person is digging his own grave!
A sarcastic smile also appeared in the corner of Wang Tingshi's eyes. "Now that the facts of the case have been revealed, there is nothing to discuss, right?
"Wang Tingshi, the case of Liu San's family is decided, so is it time to try Cui Pu's beating of the official?" Wu Lixin hurriedly said.
"That's nature. Wang Tingshi nodded, and then muttered, "But this matter is very important, Wuzhi County and Cui Zhixian are both young talents valued by the sage, and Ben Thorn Shi can't make judgments, so after hearing the news last night, Ben Thorn Shi had already reported the news to the sage." Now, it's better to hurry up and let you come to Wuzhi County to check your injuries, and then everyone will wait for the summons from Chang'an!"
Damn! This person is better at throwing the pot than him! In one night's effort, he has already thrown the pot to Chang'an City, which is thousands of miles away!
Hearing this, Zhou Zhifu's heart was shocked, and he finally understood why he was about the same age as Wang Tingshi, but his status was so much lower than him-look, how beautiful the pot was thrown by others!
Look at yourself...... Now Cui Pu must have been thinking about how to peel off another layer of skin for himself, right?
Hearing Wang Tingshi say this, Wu Lixin hurriedly nodded. "Then do what you say about the king's assassination!"
Hmph, in Chang'an, that's the world of their martial arts, and with the help of his aunt, he's afraid that he won't be able to win a big victory?
When Cui Pu heard this, a flash of light flashed in his eyes. "Since you have already sent the news back to Chang'an, the lower officials naturally have to obey your arrangement. It's just that these days, are we going to wait here together for the summons from Chang'an?"
"Of course it doesn't have to be. There are still a lot of things in your respective counties, so go back and deal with the things at hand first, and explain the matter by the way, so that Chang'an can come and make you each have enough free time. ”
"Yes, everything is at the mercy of the king. Cui Pu and Wu Lixin said in unison. It's just that both of them have their own ghosts, and their own calculations have already begun in their stomachs.
Liu San's case is very easy to turn over. In less than half a day, the matter was done. Cui Pu returned him to Huang Zhixian, and hurriedly returned to Hailing County.
When he entered the county office, he hurriedly hugged Mu Jiaojiao: "My good lady, you have done this so beautifully! Hurry up and prepare, let's prepare to go back to Chang'an!"
