Chapter 46: Seeing tall buildings rising is already a thing of the past
Under the command of Captain Xia, the garrison walked quickly, almost running all the way, leading Zhou Governor, Captain Xia and three hundred guardsmen to the county government.
"Boss, what happened in our Mizhou County?"
"This late at night, actually alerted the governor and the captain of Zhe Chong Mansion to come in person?"
"..."
After everyone left.
The remaining guards gathered together and curiously asked the guard commander.
"Don't ask about things above."
"Guard the city gate honestly. Wasn't the reprimand just now enough?"
The garrison chief gave those people a hard look and warned them.
Say it.
The guards immediately lowered their heads and shut up obediently.
……
"Lord Captain, the Mizhou County Government has arrived!"
After burning a stick of incense, the leading guard was so tired that he was sweating profusely. He pointed at a mansion in front of him and said.
"Thank you for your hard work. Let's take a rest first."
Governor Zhou looked at his panting look and waved his hand.
The other side.
Captain Xia reined in his horse, looked back at the guards behind him, and ordered loudly:
"You will surround the Mizhou County Government Office by this captain, and don't let anyone go!"
Say it.
The three hundred government guards divided into two groups and surrounded the Mizhou County Government on the left and right.
On the way to Mizhou, Governor Zhou told Captain Xia about the Mizhou magistrate's crimes.
Regarding this, Captain Xia was also furious and scolded the Mizhou County Magistrate for his inaction!
The people under his rule were killed by demons, but he remained indifferent.
Firstly, he doesn’t appease, secondly, he doesn’t report to the police, he deceives his superiors and conceals his subordinates, and he is a completely ignorant official!
At this time, he and Governor Zhou got off their horses, ordered their attendants to fetch torches, and then walked together outside the county government office.
"Where is the squad room? Your Majesty the Governor and your Majesty the Captain, why don't you open the door quickly!"
A servant came forward and knocked the door knocker.
After saying this, the class room inside did not dare to neglect and hurriedly opened the door.
This person had long heard the shouting outside, and the reason why he did not open the door was because he was not sure of the identity of the visitor!
"Meet the Governor and the Captain!"
After the man opened the door, he knelt down and saluted hurriedly.
"Step aside!"
"Don't hinder this captain from arresting people!"
Lieutenant Xia didn't even look at the cell and directly gave the order.
Then, he and Governor Zhou entered the county government gate.
"Arrest people?"
The class room was dumbfounded and didn’t know who to arrest?
I could only quickly retreat behind the door, staring dumbfounded at the soldiers filing in with weapons in hand. After a while, the county government office turned on the lights, shining like daylight.
But he said.
When the governor of Mizhou and Captain Xia broke into the county office, the county magistrate of Mizhou was suddenly startled by the movement and sat up.
On the bed, the beautiful concubine who had just passed the door was startled by this.
"Sir, you scared the slave family."
The beautiful concubine complained.
However, her words trailed off.
The door to the room was violently knocked open, and she screamed in surprise. She quickly wrapped the quilt tightly to cover up the large area of snow-white skin on her body, and looked at these people with a look of fear.
Before the Mizhou County Magistrate could recover, he saw the lord of the state striding in.
"I don't know... I don't know the governor... I'm here. I'm sorry to hear you come from afar, but I hope you'll forgive me!"
The county magistrate of Mizhou suddenly rolled out of bed and fell to his knees.
At this moment, he was shaking like chaff, his legs were shaking non-stop, and cold sweat broke out on his face.
"In response to the county magistrate, as an official, you deceived the superiors and concealed the truth from others. In order to deceive others, you kept the counterfeit medicine case secret and did not report it. How brave you are!"
"I think you've reached your limit!"
Governor Zhou looked at the Mizhou County Magistrate and cursed with a headache.
"My lord, I was just confused for a moment. I hope you will show mercy even if you don't rule the law!"
Upon hearing this, the county magistrate hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Someone, take him down!"
"By the way, take the county magistrate, bookkeeper, and master of Mizhou County into custody and bring them to your house!"
Governor Zhou ignored him and ordered with a look of indifference.
Finished.
Several attendants behind him immediately stepped forward, held down Magistrate Ying, and escorted him away.
Only the frightened concubine on the bed was left.
……
Noon the next day.
Governor Zhou, Captain Xia and other talents rushed back to Fengxiang Mansion without stopping.
Of course, there is still a wave of people who have not returned.
It turned out that after capturing Ying County Magistrate last night, Governor Zhou ordered his followers and a lieutenant under Captain Xia.
Leading more than 30 government guards, they went to Xialiu Village, Shangba Village, Qiantang Village and other places to bring those victims back to Fengxiang Mansion to serve as witnesses.
As soon as he returned to the Yamen, the governor of Zhou ordered Ying to be placed under house arrest by the county magistrate. As for the chief historian, chief bookkeeper and other officials of Mizhou County, they were also temporarily detained.
"Captain Xia, thank you for your hard work this time."
"The Japanese official will surely come to thank you!"
Outside the governor's office.
Governor Zhou and Captain Xia solemnly expressed their thanks.
Now, the Mizhou County Magistrate has captured him, and now that the matter has been resolved, Captain Xia will take his leave.
For this reason, Governor Zhou came out to say goodbye in person.
"Your Majesty, you're welcome."
"If you want to be grateful, you might as well transfer some money to my Zhechong Mansion another day."
Xia Du Weihao waved his hand and smiled cheerfully.
"Definitely!"
Governor Zhou agreed immediately.
After saying that, I watched him ride away.
Back at the house, Governor Zhou did not immediately interrogate Naying County Magistrate.
Instead, I caught up on some sleep first.
After sleeping until dusk, he woke up and took the lead in interrogating the county magistrate and chief registrar of Mizhou County.
As for responding to the county magistrate?
Don’t rush to trial, apply pressure first, and wait for the victims to arrive. It’s not too late to interrogate again.
But after a night of brewing, this matter had already spread throughout the yamen of Qizhou.
After all, the dignified governor of Yizhou led the generals from Zhechong Prefecture, running around day and night, and captured the Mizhou County Magistrate.
One can imagine what a serious crime the latter committed!
Suddenly, the whole Qizhou was in turmoil!
Officials, big and small, ranging from long history officials to county magistrates, are all uneasy.
I wonder what kind of major case happened in the state, worthy of the Governor doing this?
……
The other side.
Sima Mansion.
Na Wu Sima and Hu Meier were in love almost all night. After waking up this morning, they took advantage of their excitement and had a few more scenes.
In the evening, when the sunset glowed like fire on the horizon, the two of them were still lying on their gums in disheveled clothes.
"Master Wu, something happened!"
At this moment.
The boy in the house suddenly shouted loudly.
"I don't know the rules. How can you come in without being summoned?"
Being woken up by someone, Wu Sima felt unhappy and lectured the boy.
"Excuse me, my lord!"
"Young people don't know that it's against the rules, but unless there's something important, they don't dare to do anything that goes against the rules."
Hearing this, the boy hurriedly argued.
"What happened? Can you tell me?"
Wu Sima suppressed his anger and asked.
"Sir Wu, last night the governor and Captain Xia from Zhechong Prefecture went to Mizhou County overnight and captured Ying County Magistrate and all the officials from the county back to the Yamen!"
"Is this happening?"
"Then what crime did Ying County Magistrate commit?"
Chapter completed!
