After Wang Dasheng returned to his house, he ordered his subordinates to post the news of the new official Yuan Chong's appointment and spread it widely, there was not much time, and everyone in Bianliang City knew about this matter......

"Hey, there's good news, I heard that the newly appointed prefect has been decided-" In the Lu Mansion, Huang Ji rushed in in a few arrows and told the news to his friends in the Lu Mansion.

"We also know this......" Lu Jing said with an indifferent look, "It's Brother Huang Ji, you, aren't you usually very quiet? Why, this new official Yuan Chong took office, and you became so excited......

Huang Ji did look a little excited today, and then he continued: "Then let me tell you something you don't know...... This Yuan Chong is a friend of mine!"

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked. Zhao Zichuan asked first: "What, Brother Huang Ji, is what you said true?"

Huang Ji nodded with a smile and said: "That's right, and Brother Yuan Chong is an upright person, I think this case, Nangong Yong has no way to quibble." ”

"That's great-" Xiao Tian also said excitedly on the side, "If Brother Yuan Chong can enforce the law impartially, this case will also have a satisfactory result, and the dead Xiao Yun girl's family can rest assured......"

"It's too early...... just when everyone was a little excited, Lu Jing suddenly changed her tone and interjected, "Although Yuan Chong is said to be in office, he is very upright, so naturally he will not favor the Nangong family." However, when the deceased former prefect handled the case, the advantage of the evidence was in favor of the Nangong family. If the person named Yuan Chong really enforces the law impartially, and the evidence in his hands is insufficient when he has just taken office, the case may not be beneficial to the Huang Ji brothers......"

"What should I do then?" Tang Zhan listened beside Lu Jing. He was worried.

"Don't worry, didn't I say before that I had a good way...... Lu Jing said confidently, "When the former prefect handled the case in favor of Nangong's family, he didn't mention Nangong's crime of forcibly occupying public land. And the bribery between the county government and the Nangong family, I don't want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Since this is the case, we can completely let the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion know about this matter, as long as the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion investigate this matter. Then no matter how powerful his Nangong family is, he can't hide from it. ”

"However, how can we let the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion know about this?" Li Yuru asked again.

Lu Jing flicked a small section of her sideburns with her hand. Then he said with a smile: "Jihua will implement it as usual, this matter can't be delayed, we will implement it soon." ”

"You ...... What jihua do you want to execute?" Because Lu Jing's jihua only didn't tell Huang Ji, Huang Ji was still in the dark. I couldn't help but ask.

Lu Jing smiled and said to Huang Ji: "You don't have to worry too much about this. Just wrap it up on us. All you have to do now is go to the county office and catch up with your old friends. By the way, you can also explain some of the overlooked details of this case to your old friends, and leave the rest to us, you don't have to worry. ”

Looking at Lu Jing's confident face, although Huang Ji was very puzzled, he had always believed in her. So I still think it's good to do what Lu Jing said......

Above the county government, Yuan Chong, who had just taken office and became the prefect. He was standing in front of the hall, staring at everything in the hall.

Yuan Chong is seven feet tall, with a upright appearance, with a tall chest and stride when he walks, and a pure skeleton with an open heart. Yuan Chong was dressed in an official uniform and an official hat at this time, staring at the table in front of him. The servant beside him kept following, and said, "My lord, this is the hall where you will try the case in the future, your rest place is in the backyard, and there is a place in the room where you check the file." The original library is still being cleaned up due to a bloody case, and most of the documents and materials are being transferred to other rooms, which may be a little inconvenient in recent days, so please forgive ......me."

Yuan Chong thought for a while, touched the wooden table in front of the hall with his hand, then sighed, and said: "Hey, it seems that the county government of Bianliang should have it, it stands to reason that it should be law enforcement, but the prefect was still assassinated by others, why is this......?"

The servant heard Yuan Chong talk about this matter on the side, and only laughed lightly on the side, and didn't say anything for the time being.

Yuan Chong thought for a long time, and then said: "I know that the former prefect seems to be trying some kind of case about the Nangong family killing a civilian before he died, and he happened to be poisoned that night......"

The servant responded: "Yes, the person who sued is Huang Ji Huang Shaoxia, who is known as 'Bianliang Doctor' by the world, and the defendant is Nangong Yong, the third-in-command of the Nangong family." ”

"Huang Ji?" Yuan Chong paused when he heard the name, it should be the name of his original friend. Yuan Chong's expression changed, as if he realized something.

The servant looked at Yuan Chong's puzzled look, and then said: "I heard from the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion that General Wang Dasheng promoted you to take office, and I also hope that you will quickly solve the case related to him." It was originally a case of murder of civilians, but now it has provoked the assassination of the former prefect. Lieutenant Wang Gubu also said that let the new prefect settle such a matter as soon as possible, so your lordship...... But have you figured out when this case will be retried?"

Yuan Chong closed his eyes and thought for a while, compared to now learning that the complainant was his original friend Huang Ji, Yuan Chong was thinking about ...... Immediately, Yuan Chong opened his eyes and said, "That's it, you can take me to see the scene of the murder of the former prefect first." ”

"Ah, this ......," said the servant, who seemed to hesitate.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Chong asked again.

"It's nothing, my lordship, it's just ......," said the servant, with some trembling, "there's been a bloody crime there, villain...... The villain is a little afraid to look at the ...... again."

"What don't you dare, even I, the fledgling new department, am not afraid...... Yuan Chong said with a serious face, "Besides, everything has a reason, the former prefect was plotted without knowing it, and the only possibility is ...... The death of the former prefect must be related to this case, and maybe you can know something from this. So, you'd better take me to see it first......"

"Yes, yes......" replied the servant, trembling and nodding his head in agreement.

Thereupon. The servant turned around and took Yuan Chong to the scene of the murder of the former prefect......

I came to the library at the time of the crime, and there were some subordinates here who were carrying the books here. There were two large boxes in front of the library - they were boxes shipped from Nangong's house, and the other subordinates did not know. On the side of the box, there were still dark red blood marks that had not receded - the former prefect and the master died here on the night of the crime.

"Great, great, this is ...... The scene of the night......" said the servant with some nervousness.

Regarding the bloodstains, Yuan Chong just glanced at it and didn't care about it. On the contrary, the two useless boxes that were now empty became the place of doubt in Yuan Chong's eyes.

Yuan Chong slowly walked to the box. Leaned over and touched the edge of the box with some blood stains, and then asked the servant beside him, "Are these two boxes already in your courtyard?"

The servant looked at the two chests. Then he shook his head and said, "This ...... The villain doesn't know that the former adult used to like to collect things, not to mention boxes, but some other household things that he was used to. We, the people, know very little. And. The former lord also said that it is strictly forbidden for his subordinates to enter the relevant rooms, especially the adults' bedrooms and stacks, without his consent......"

Yuan Chong listened, and then said secretly in his heart: "It seems that the former prefect is also an official who regards wealth as his life, and the reason why he does not let his subordinates enter his room casually is because he is afraid that his subordinates will see the secret of being bribed by others." If it's related to this case...... Brother Huang Ji, I know. Be upright and less likely to speak outright. Could it be that the previous prefect was bribed by the Nangong family?"

"My lord, look at this ......" The servant on the side looked at Yuan Chong who had been hesitating, and asked without knowing something.

Yuan Chong stood up and said with some thoughts in his heart: "In my opinion, this case is ......."

Just as Yuan Chong wanted to say something, the voice of the guard suddenly came from outside the door: "My lord, someone outside the door asks to see-"

Yuan Chong thought to himself that he had just taken office, and it had nothing to do with it, who would take the initiative to come to him so soon. But it didn't feel like there was a big problem, so Yuan Chong casually responded: "Anyway, I don't have a big deal now, you go and call him in......"

However, the guard continued, "But my lord, the man said he wanted you to see him personally—"

"See you in person?" Yuan Chong also felt a little confused.

The guard thought for a while, and then said: "My lord, why don't you go back, now the Prime Minister's Mansion has arranged so many affairs for you, and your lordship is not familiar with the environment here......"

"That's right......," the servant continued, "besides, the former prefect was killed by someone else without his knowledge, and if you go out alone, your lordship, it will inevitably be coveted by others......

"Hmph, I, Yuan Chong, am in a clear body, do I have any enemies, what are you afraid of?" Yuan Chong didn't care, hearing his servant say this, he really wanted to meet this person.

The guard also added, "Yes, my lord, why don't you send a few brothers out to meet you?"

Yuan Chong listened to this, and turned to say seriously: "Hmph, in broad daylight, what thief will be bold enough to harm me? Besides, as an official of the imperial court, how can he be so timid and afraid, just going out to meet someone." I, Yuan Chong, have never even been afraid of General Wang Dasheng of the Bianliang Prime Minister's Mansion, who else can I be afraid of?" Yuan Chong said, remembering that he was seriously injured by Wang Dasheng when he was electing officials before, and when he thought of this, he was still unwilling to have something to do with Wang Dasheng.

So, no one stopped Yuan Chong, and Yuan Chong still walked out of the mansion with his head held high, and did not let any of his subordinates follow......

Walking outside the mansion gate, Yuan Chong looked around to see who wanted to see him. However, just to the left of Yuan Chong, a man in a cloak and a hat kept staring at Yuan Chong.

Yuan Chong felt it, walked in front of the mysterious man in a few steps, and then asked without hesitation: "Do you dare to ask Your Excellency to find the official to see someone?"

The mysterious man listened to Yuan Chong's tone, then smiled, and then said: "It seems that after so many years, your hard tone and style have not changed......" The mysterious man said and laughed as he uncovered his hat.

"Huang Ji?" Yuan Chong looked at that person's face, his expression changed instantly, and then he whispered excitedly, "Why did you suddenly find it?"

"Old friends come to catch up on the old days, what's the matter, aren't you welcome?" Huang Ji asked with a smile.

"How do you say this, how can you not welcome it?" Yuan Chong smiled first, and then said, "But this is an extraordinary time, I heard that there is an unfinished case in the hands of the former prefect, Brother Huang Ji, you are the complainant, and now you and I are meeting, isn't it inconvenient?"

"That's why brother, I'm dressed like this, isn't it to avoid suspicion?" Huang Ji also smiled, and then said, "Speaking of that case, Brother Yuan, how do you understand?"

Yuan Chong thought for a while, and then responded: "To be honest, I am still confused about this case now, brother...... According to the results of the previous prefect's trial, it seems that this is not very favorable to the Huang Ji brothers. However, I just went to the scene where the former governor was killed, and I found that there are still many problems. ”

"Anyway, brother, I know that Yuan Chong has always been upright in your life, and as soon as I heard that it was your successor, my mood was half down......," Huang Ji said, and then said with a serious face, "Speaking of the case, on the night of the murder of Miss Xiaoyun's family, I and the villagers in the departure area saw Nangong Yong with our own eyes, and I also had a trick with him, and even talked to him. But when he started the trial, Nangong Yong opened his eyes and said nonsense, and the former prefect also favored the Nangong family. Before, my friend said that it was very likely that the Nangong family bribed the prefect, but I didn't expect it...... The night after the trial, the prefect was killed......"

Yuan Chong listened and followed: "If it is true that as your friend said before, the former prefect was indeed bribed by the Nangong family, then the situation in the backyard is very likely to be ......."

"What is very likely?" Huang Ji looked at Yuan Chong as if he had thought of some clues, so he asked tightly.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just some thoughts......" Yuan Chong seemed to feel that there were many points in this, and it was inconvenient to draw conclusions easily, so he didn't answer Huang Ji's question without saying a word.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now...... Huang Ji asked instead, "It's you, Brother Yuan, why are you so young, and the commander promoted you to be the prefect of Bianliang?"

"This is a long story......," Yuan Chong said with some sadness, "Wang Dasheng, the guard of Bianliang, is also a cold-blooded fellow, and when he inspected us, he was ruthless......

"What's merciless?" Huang Ji listened to Yuan Chong's incoherent words, and wondered, "Why can't I understand, what happened?"

Yuan Chong continued: "I can't go into details, I can only say that the captain of the Wang Gu Department handed over the selection to his subordinate Wang Dasheng to deal with. Wang Dasheng was originally ruthless, and the selection of us new officials was all through cruel means such as killing prisoners or fighting in blood. I was reluctant to be beaten by him before...... Now it's hard to heal from my injuries, and I've been promoted to the prefect so quickly......"

"Wang Dasheng is ruthless, I know, I have seen it in the previous kendo conference......" Huang Ji thought about the bits and pieces of Wang Dasheng's past, and muttered in a low voice.

"Later, it may be that Wang Dasheng felt that I had a little backbone, so he promoted me and temporarily replaced the vacant prefect position...... Yuan Chong responded, "Anyway, I don't want to worry too much about Wang Dasheng's matter, but what I'm worried about now is Brother Huang Ji's case." After all, the object of your lawsuit is someone from the Nangong family, and this case is definitely not simple. ”

"I know......" Huang Ji replied, "But I believe that Brother Yuan, you should be able to handle this case fairly and use Nangong to correct the law on the spot!"

"I will deal with this case seriously, as for you, Brother Huang Ji, I think we should see each other less before all this is over...... After all, Brother Huang Ji, you also have a lot to do with this case, if people see it, they will be gossiped......" Yuan Chong continued.

"Okay, I understand, then I'll leave the matter to Brother Yuan Chong......" Huang Ji Zuihou said.

"Don't worry, I will enforce the law impartially and give the deceased a real explanation!" Yuan Chong also nodded and replied.

So in order to avoid suspicion, the two brothers who had been reunited after a long absence, just said a few words and left in a hurry...... (To be continued......)
