Volume 2 [Fire of the Demon World] 165: Lin'an Great Mandarin Duck Scheme
() After turning back from the public hall of the prefect, the prefect came to the back hall with incense. Condensation incense followed the adults all the way, constantly patrolling the surrounding environment. The moment she officially entered the back hall, she finally understood why the people supported him so much.
I saw that there was only a set of mahogany tables and chairs in the back hall, and a bed with mosquito nets. Looking at the stacks of documents on the table, you can see that this is a place for the prefect and his assistants to discuss and rest when the hall is closed on weekdays. In addition to the slightly stylish furnishings of these two pieces of furniture, the whole room can be described as empty, worthy of two sleeves of fresh breeze!
'Wait, what's that?' Condensation Xiang looked over the north wall, only to see a Shang Fang sword hanging on the wall. The 'sword' is just a token given by the emperor, which is not surprising. However, the painting behind the sword made Condensation Xiang have to polish his eyes and glance at it a few more times......
'How could it be her?...... Impossible! This is impossible!' Ning Xiang overturned her guess and came back to her senses to continue acting. After all, the purpose of this is to rescue Cai Hunan and Lu Wenchang. She still pretended to be a victim of grievances, waiting for the prefect to collect evidence.
The prefect said:
There are no idle people here, you can show your evidence!
Condensation Xiang saw that the time had come, and took a few steps forward in a premeditated manner, and began to untie his clothes......
The prefect never thought that she would do such a move in broad daylight and in front of a strange man, and before Ning Xiang unbuttoned the second plate, the prefect interrupted:
What are you doing?
Seeing his embarrassment, Condensation Xiang was slightly jerky in front of the woman. A serious explanation:
Returning to my lordship, the evidence of my husband's abuse of me is on me, and the injuries on my body are the most powerful evidence. So in the public court, in front of everyone, the folk girls really didn't dare to show their scars. However, the people of Lin'an City praised the lord and said that the lord was a parent official who made decisions for the people. Loose clothes in front of adults are the same as loose clothes in front of parents......
The young prefect learned about her situation, and learned from her that his merits were still affirmed in the eyes of the people, and his heart was more or less gratified. But after all, there is a difference between men and women, and no matter how public or private, it is not easy to check a woman's body. On the other hand...... If you want to convict her of justice, you really have to have conclusive evidence, otherwise once the case is hastily closed, you may wronged a good person. For half a year, it was the first time I encountered this kind of case. I didn't have an idea for a while......
Condensation Xiang watched his expression with a subtle gaze, guessing his inner activity from his micro-expressions. In the blink of an eye, she had lightly untied her robe, revealing her bare white shoulders......
The prefect was still at a loss at this time, and just wanted to shout 'Someone!', but Condensation Xiang covered his temples and fainted to the ground with an 'oops'......
And this 'oops' has two meanings: the first is to tell Wu, who is waiting outside to be dispatched, that the matter has been successful, and let him move on to the next link, and the second meaning is to wake up the prefect from his stupor......
The young prefect only learned some benevolence and morality from books, but he did not understand the sinister rivers and lakes at all. Hearing the condensation incense fall down with an 'oops', his benevolence forced him to subconsciously hug her, so as not to cause more trouble if she fell to the ground......
For the first time in his life, he hugged a cold and fragrant beauty, and the tension in his heart was indescribable. However, the ancients said that a 'gentleman' should sit still, and since I want to be a good and honest official, I should control my own ethics and restrain my evil thoughts. He picked up Condensation, twisted her waist with difficulty, and put her on his temporary bed.
Suddenly, there was a quarrel from behind...... Wu Yizhang brushed aside the master and the officials beside him, and strode into the back hall. Seeing this coincidental scene, he pointed at the prefect and scolded in the tone of catching a thief:
oh
!Originally...... It turns out that the prefect is a beast with a human face and a beast heart, and he covets women!
The prefect was just about to tie the condensation incense so that she wouldn't catch a cold. Unexpectedly, this move happened to make Wu catch it right. He was so frightened that he immediately turned around and argued:
I just saw her faint and kindly put him on the bed, for fear that he would catch a cold......
Wu didn't wait for him to finish explaining, and he didn't have to listen to his lengthy explanation. Because he knows the truth of the matter even better than the prefect. But there is no way, this is Ning Xiang's plan, for the sake of their hegemony, he can only ruin this innocent prefect.
So Wu Bu was verbose with him, turned around and walked out of the back hall, passed the public hall, and came to the front of the government office. In front of the old and young blind date on the side of the road, the drum was beaten vigorously...... Insiders look at the doorway, and laymen look at the liveliness. As soon as these laymen heard the sound of the drums, they all wanted to come and see the excitement, so they gathered in groups of three or five to watch.
Wu was in front of the crowd and openly slandered:
The fathers and villagers all said that this new prefect was a good official who worried about the country and the people. However, I didn't expect him to be a shameless person who used power for personal gain and coveted women. Such a prefect is not worthy of staying in Lin'an City.
As soon as the onlookers heard this explosive news, they all began to discuss, and there were still people who had a clear distinction between right and wrong who questioned:
Don't be demagogic here, the prefect is a good person, this is something that all of us can see. You said that the prefect coveted women and abused power for personal gain, but you have to show evidence......
Wu is of course ready for everything:
Evidence? My wife is still lying on the prefect's bed, and everyone in the yamen has seen it with their own eyes, is this considered evidence? Not only that, but he also doesn't know what means he used to make my wife unconscious...... Tried to take her **. Having such a prefect is simply a shame for us in Lin'an City.
The people will be skeptical, but seeing that he has a nose and an eye, it seems that all this is true. A violent controversy arose among the people. Some say east, some say west.
And in order to give an explanation to the people, the prefect ran out and retorted:
You are a drunkard and beat your wife violently, causing her to come to the yamen to complain and beg the official to make the decision for her, but she was unwell and fainted to the ground. But you say it's a beast's behavior. How can this official spare you! Come on, take down this madman!
The master also came out from behind to defend the prefect. Unexpectedly, someone in the crowd deliberately used the topic to play:
This dog officer, molesting a wife, is not a good thing. Don't be deceived by his lies.
When the prefect heard this slanderous remark, the grievances in his heart were self-evident. Wholeheartedly doing things for the people, the result is indeed this kind of cold words. What exactly is the problem? As he is not deeply involved in the world, he could never have imagined that his honesty and honesty would actually offend some local forces. Let them hype up and maliciously plant on this unclear and unexplained incident.
He was unwilling to be slandered by some ill-intentioned people like this. In order to protect his innocence, he resolutely debated with him:
Which eye did you see me molesting my wife? You are a dog biting Lu Dongbin......
Suddenly, someone from behind interrupted him:
Don't be cowardly here, you're clearly plotting against me.
Condensation incense came out of the yamen, with the posture of a victim, pointed to the prefect and said:
You saw that my husband and I were not in harmony, and you took the opportunity to induce me. He also deliberately instigated and used his power to force me to serve my lords. Seeing that I was unwilling to submit, he wanted to rape me, and kept saying that as long as I follow you, you will put my husband in prison, and in the future I will share with you the luxury, glory, wealth, and inexhaustible enjoyment. As a victim and a person concerned, I would like to disclose the truth to you and ask you to seek justice for your little girl.
The condensation incense was directed at the prefect, which made the prefect, who had just treated her with great courtesy, speechless and injust. I thought to myself, "What are you doing?" Is this all a conspiracy trap that you have orchestrated? I was so disappointed. Now that she has come out to testify, I can't wash it even if I jump into the Yellow River. What else is there to say? When the prefect thought of this, he simply stopped talking. If people have made it clear that they want to smear you, then ...... All depictions will only make themselves blacker and blacker, and finally dirty to the bones, spurned by the world.
The onlookers saw Condensation Incense come out to reveal the 'truth', and saw the grinning button on her neck with their own eyes. I thought: Such a beauty, the world will be tempted when they see it, no wonder this prefect is greedy for her beauty, it seems that all this is true.
Condensing Xiang saw that everyone cast sympathetic glances at him, proving that his treacherous plan had succeeded. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but show a faint smile on my face......
Boldly disgraced a woman, and even slandered the imperial court officials here in front of the masses, I don't think you want to live anymore! The master is fighting for the prefect in the back.
In that case, it's okay not to say it. Once it was said, it gave the condensation incense another opportunity:
Oh folks, take a look...... This is the face of the prefect. Even his master manipulated/manipulated/official/intimidated the people. Got their will...... and they will enjoy all the glory and riches, against their hearts...... You have to shout and kill. Where is this place where justice is upheld for the people? It is clearly a filthy place for bandits and bandits to oppress the people and bully the city.
It's so natural for her to play with the topic and fall into the well. The emotions of the people seem to have been kidnapped by this quick-thinking and articulate woman. followed her train of thought into a reactionary position......
'......Boom!'
An egg flew from the crowd and smashed squarely into the prefect's face. Filthy egg wash trickled down his angular face......
At this moment, he truly realized what it means to be 'wronged'. He began to tremble and tremble with anger. Not even the courage to flee. I don't know what I did wrong, and I have to face the beating and scolding and spitting of the world...... When he was young, behind the thick egg liquid, he shed tears of grievance......
The master saw that everyone was constantly smashing this poor young official. In order to maintain the majesty of the government, he immediately called out the officials in the public court and ordered the officials to protect the personal safety of the prefect.
However, the officials are only officials, and they do not have three heads and six arms...... No matter how hard they try, they still can't resist the flying eggs, cucumbers, persimmons, sweet potatoes, and even ginger, garlic, and leek flowers...... They were like merciless hailstones, falling frantically from the blue sky. smashed a prefect who was worried about the country and the people, and what was cold was the original intention of being honest and dedicated......
At this time, Wu walked over, took the prefect's hand, and said to everyone:
Everyone, be quiet, this dog official bullied my wife and deceived the people. We can't count this account, but you are beating the officials of the imperial court, and if the matter is big, I am afraid it will affect everyone. Now I will take down his Usha and take him to the punishment he deserves. Even if everyone goes to open a warehouse to release grain, we will not provide for the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes and the food and salary of the court in the future. These people's fat and people's ointment are everyone's blood and sweat, and we can't use our own blood and sweat to support such a dog official.
When they heard this, they were all happy. Some of the poor and miserable people are even more high-spirited. In an instant, a wave of bees flocked to the granary of Lin'an City......
And Wu He condensed incense, smiled slightly, glanced at each other, and prepared to take advantage of the chaos to escort the prefect to Longhumen. Before he could take a step forward, Condensation suddenly thought of something.
Wait for me here, I'll go in and get something......
After speaking, he ran into the empty yamen again with a pomegranate skirt......
