Chapter 53 Lintai Di Huaiying; Wu Sima fell from power
Under the arrangement of the governor of Zhou Dynasty, Han Xiangzi stayed in the governor's mansion for a few days.
As a result, the governor this week kept his word.
He didn't treat him as an outsider. Whenever he encountered a problem, he would come to him for help.
With the help of Han Xiangzi, Governor Zhou obtained a lot of evidence.
After some digging, he discovered that quite a few officials in Qizhou had serious problems.
Among them, 12 out of 10 can be directly arrested and imprisoned.
Those who can be punished and held accountable are 45 out of 10!
This ratio is quite scary.
After reading this, Governor Zhou was really shocked.
But when everything was traced back to its source, he felt a little more at ease.
All the blame lies with Nawu Sima!
This Wu Sima, to put it mildly, is like a rat droppings ruining a pot of soup.
……
On the second day when Han Xiangzi stayed at the Governor's Mansion, Governor Zhou interrogated the Mizhou County Magistrate.
Ying County Magistrate has been detained for the past few days.
All day long, although the people in the Governor's Mansion were taking good care of him, his heart was still suffering.
I wonder what the governor did to him?
What crimes did Mizhou County reveal to his colleagues?
He thought about it for a long time and found it difficult to calm down.
In fact.
After arriving at Mizhou County as county magistrate, Ying did not make any big mistakes.
But small mistakes kept happening.
For example, if a son of a wealthy family in the county is involved in a lawsuit, as long as his family is willing to send him money, he will follow the principle of turning a big problem into a small one.
If there is a serious case of beheading, the county magistrate Ying still thinks that Men Qing'er should be killed and he should be killed.
No matter how much money he gave, he would not dare.
Which is lighter or heavier? You can still carry it out in response to the county magistrate.
For this reason, Ying County Magistrate’s reputation in Mizhou County is mixed.
The dignitaries said that he governed well.
As for the people of Li, they say he is fatuous and incompetent.
Since taking office, he has not done anything practical.
Magistrate Ying thought a lot about this. The worst-case scenario was that he would be dismissed from his post, his official status would be stripped away, and he would be demoted to a commoner.
There was only one thing he wasn't sure about, and that was the case of counterfeit drugs.
After all, there are many dead people involved in this case.
In order to cling to Wu Sima, he directly suppressed the matter.
Fortunately, most of the people in those rural communities are honest and honest, having farmed their land all their lives, and do not dare to mess with the government.
After suppressing it, he swallowed his anger and did not make a fuss afterwards.
This week the governor had not seen Magistrate Ying for several days and found that the latter had lost a lot of weight.
It fell unexpectedly.
This method of solving cases was learned by the governor of Zhou Dynasty from Di Huaiying.
That year, Di Huaiying was appointed Minister of Dali Temple and solved nearly 20,000 cases a year, almost completing the old cases accumulated by Dali Temple.
Isn’t this nothing?
What is shocking is that in the cases decided by Di Huaiying, no one appealed for grievances!
At that time, when this incident came out, it shocked the government and the public, and the whole of Chang'an was in an uproar!
The Holy Spirit was even more delighted when he learned about it, and ordered him to write down a strategy for resolving the case for all officials to learn from.
Governor Zhou detained Ying in the county magistrate's office. The reason why he was not tried for many days was because he wanted to put psychological pressure on him!
Once there is too much pressure, the latter will definitely feel anxious and heartbroken!
It will completely collapse within a few days.
During the retrial at this time, most of the prisoners confessed truthfully.
As expected, Governor Zhou expected that his trial of Ying County Magistrate's case went very smoothly.
Ying County Magistrate has almost finished everything he needs to explain.
When Governor Zhou interrogated other officials in Mizhou County, he already had some evidence against the county magistrate. The current trial is nothing more than a review.
Of course, Magistrate Ying also told how he colluded with Wu Sima, and the two of them exchanged letters on weekdays.
Little did I know.
Governor Zhou had already found those letters with the help of Han Xiangzi.
Don’t be afraid of refusing to explain to the county magistrate.
"Unexpectedly, the intersection between Wu Sima and Wu Sima is so extensive, and most of the officials in Qizhou have contacts with him secretly."
"My officer checked it out and found out that the silver he gave away was almost thirty thousand taels. He is really a wealthy man. No wonder many people in the state betrayed him."
"On weekdays, he is easier to talk to than the governor like me."
After interrogating the county magistrate, Governor Zhou came to the study. After summing up the questions, he clicked his tongue a little and spoke to Han Xiangzi.
To know.
As the governor of a state, the governor of Zhou is a senior official of the fourth rank.
A year's salary, including salary and job land, is only a mere five or six hundred taels.
Even if there is extra income, it will only cost more than a thousand taels.
"It seems that Wu Sima is still a corrupt official."
Han Xiangzi was surprised when he heard this.
"Master Immortal, now that the evidence is enough, I can order the arrest of this Wu Sima."
"I hope that after I get rid of him, peace can be restored to Qizhou."
Governor Zhou looked at the list of Wu Sima's crimes on the table, and then spoke to Han Xiangzi.
"I will."
Han Xiangzi looked at him deeply and wished.
……
But he said.
Wu Sima could not find any trace of Hu Meier in the house that night, but because he had taken the fox-milk fragrant pills, he was so horny that he could only find a decent maid to deal with her all night long.
The next day.
After he woke up, he started looking for Hu Meier again.
Wu Sima even went to the Fox House where the two usually lived.
Unfortunately, there is no one in this house, even the servants are gone.
At this time, Wu Sima realized in hindsight that Hu Xiangu and the others had left Qizhou.
But shouldn’t it?
The Fox Temple over at Dongmo Lane has not yet been built.
Thinking of Dongmo Alley, Wu Sima sent someone to inquire again, and found out that Dongmo Alley has been restored to its original state, and there are no ghosts anymore.
At this point, Wu Sima could only reluctantly accept the fact that Hu Xianzi and others left.
But in recent days, Wu Sima suddenly felt that the officialdom in Qizhou was not peaceful.
Many people were called to the mansion for questioning by Governor Zhou.
Some people were able to come out the next day, while others were stunned and never came out again.
To this day, Wu Sima, no matter how stupid he is, has noticed something is wrong.
When he thought of Hu Xianzi and others leaving without saying goodbye, and the current situation in Qizhou, he suddenly felt that he was in danger.
Fortunately, the bottle of fox-milk fragrant pills was sent to Mr. Zhang that day.
Coupled with his previous political achievements, as long as Mr. Zhang recommends him in front of the Holy Emperor, it won't take long for him to return to Beijing.
With such a fantasy, Wu Sima finally felt more at ease.
But things are unpredictable.
This day.
Wu Sima was still in the mansion, enjoying the maids beating his shoulders and rubbing his back, when suddenly there was a thunderous voice outside the door:
"Come here!"
"The Governor has an order to surround the Sima Mansion and not let anyone go!"
Looking past, under the plaque of the Sima Mansion, Captain Xia, with a strong back and a stern look on his face, was riding a tall horse, holding a whip in his hand and giving loud orders.
"Master Wu, it's not good!"
"Lieutenant Xia of Zhechong Mansion followed the orders of the Governor and surrounded Sima Mansion!"
At this moment, a servant hurriedly entered the door, with a panicked look on his face, and approached Wu Sima.
Chapter completed!
