Chapter 505: Kneel down and speak!
Wang Wei has received the news, and his face is not good-looking, "This damn thing, even a person can't stand it!"
"Sir, the second master of the Yuan family is here!"
"Please come in quickly!"
The second master of the Yuan family, named Yuan Chongguo, was a civil servant in the third year of Shenwu. However, he had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and was not as heroic as his elder brother.
It is precisely because of this that he served as an official in the capital in the early years, but he was never re-employed. Because of his appearance, he was ridiculed by his colleagues.
In anger, Yuan Chongguo returned to Suzhou as a litigator.
And because of his status as a judge, he simply walked sideways in Suzhou.
"Brother Chongguo!" Although Wang Wei was acquainted with him, he did not dare to show off in front of Yuan Chongguo.
He is also from Suzhou. Originally, he was the prefect of Suzhou, but unfortunately Wei Xiang interfered with him. His current situation is all due to the Yuan family.
Although Yuan Chongzu retired, the imperial court still gave him the title of Third Rank Huaiyuan General.
The most important thing is that the person standing behind Yuan Chongzu is King Yan!
With the support of King Yan, the Yuan family can go sideways.
"Is Wei Xiang crazy?" Yuan Chongguo asked as soon as he came in, why didn't he stop him?
Wang Wei's face didn't look good either. Although he respected the Yuan family, he still knew that you, Yuan Chongguo, were just an official.
Suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, he smiled bitterly and said: "Then Wei Xiangming built a plank road to sneak into Chencang and left the prefect's Yamen. He called a lot of helpers from nowhere. Each of these helpers was armed with a sword and dared to fight and kill. All the people I sent to follow him were all
Got caught.
Therefore, no one came back in time to report.
However, Brother Chongguo, please be patient, this case has been concluded and there will be no problems."
"But what if the victim changes his confession?" Yuan Chongguo knew very well that once this case became serious and attracted the attention of the court, his son would have to shed his skin even if he died.
He's such a one-man sage!
"Or maybe Wei Xiang is desperate?" Yuan Chongguo said again: "This guy has probably been thinking about how to seize power secretly. If he seizes the opportunity this time, he will probably fall out with us!"
Falling out?
Wang Wei sneered: "Then impeach him. As long as General Huaiyuan comes forward, will he survive?"
Yuan Chongguo thought for a while and nodded, "However, we can't let him make things worse, otherwise my eldest brother will not look good.
There is a Guards Bureau in Suzhou City. If the Guards Division is alerted and this matter reaches His Majesty’s ears, it will be difficult to handle!”
"Brother Chongguo, don't worry!" Wang Weidao said: "I don't know who gave this guy the courage to dare to cause trouble. How dare a bare prefect dare to go against us!"
"Be careful, Wei Xiang has endured his anger for more than a year. He is not a simple person. We send people to follow him every day, but he can still give orders.
Be careful because he has back-ups!" Yuan Chongguo reminded.
"Probably not." Wang Weidao: "Although I don't know where he recruited the people, there are people watching him for more than a year and twelve hours, so there should be no backhanded tactics!"
"Be careful and you won't make a big mistake," Yuan Chongguo said.
Wang Wei nodded, and just as he was about to speak, a servant hurriedly came to inform, "Master Tongzhi, the prefect of Wei has arrested Mr. Yuan and brought him to the Yamen. He also brought many people with him. He said that he wanted to reopen the court and let you pass!
"
Wang Wei snorted coldly, "That's it!"
After speaking, he said to Yuan Chongguo: "Brother Chongguo, let's go together!"
Yuan Chongguo nodded, and soon the two of them arrived at the trial hall.
In the lobby, the government servants holding water and fire sticks had expressions of reluctance on their faces, and they were also weak when they came to the lobby.
To be honest, Wei Xiang, the prefect, is useless in this yamen.
Everyone listened to him and kept preaching, flattering him on the surface, and calling him a polished magistrate in private.
In fact, this prefect does not even have a master.
In fact, when Wei Xiang came to take office, he brought with him a staff, but half a year later, the staff drowned in a pond after leaving the city. From then on, Wei Xiang never looked for his master again.
"Master Magistrate, why is this happening?" Wang Wei frowned and looked at Wei Xiang who was sitting above him, "Isn't this case already closed, why is it still being tried again?"
"Who said the case is closed? Did this government agree?" Wei Xiang looked at his deputy coldly. Wang Wei was a local tiger, and he was not a dragon crossing the river. Although he was the magistrate of the county and the magistrate of the family, but
The county magistrate and magistrate are flowing water, and the petty officials are iron-clad.
This Wang Wei did not come from a serious scholar's background, but from a government official's background. In addition, he was promoted by the Yuan family to be able to sit in this position.
In the past, he would definitely not have a tit-for-tat confrontation with Wang Wei, but at this moment, he calmed down and pointed to the side, "Wang knows, please do it, this government will retry the case!"
"Your Majesty, do you think there is a problem with lower officials' trial of cases?"
"Yes!" Wei Xiang said without hesitation: "There are problems with this case and it cannot be closed. Sit down!"
Yuan Chongguo on the side sneered, "Master Zhifu, Master Tongzhi has already closed the case, and you came to overturn the case. Why didn't you try it before? Isn't this capricious?"
Or is it that someone, relying on connections, asked the prefect to severely punish my son?
Mr. Tongzhi has already closed the case. Out of benevolence, my Yuan family has given me full compensation and even spared no expense in letting my son go to Nvwa's night watch. What else can I do?
Is the victim’s confession false?
If it was false, why did the couple tell lies in front of everyone?
How can you convince the public by repeating it like this?"
As soon as these words came out, some people who didn't know why started talking about it.
"Yes, even the victim said it was not intentional, so why should the case be reopened?"
"What is this if not capricious?"
"This Magistrate Wei usually spends his days huddled in the Magistrate's Yamen and not caring about world affairs. What is he doing now?"
Hearing the comments from the people behind him, Yuan Chongguo became even more proud. He pointed at his son and said, "Since my son is innocent, even if you are the prefect, you can't beat people at will, right?
You are breaking the law knowingly!
If you don't give me an explanation today, I will go to Beijing to sue Yuzhuang."
Looking at the excited Yuan Chongguo, Wei Xiang said coldly: "This guy uttered arrogant words against me. I will offend him and not cut off his tongue. It's all for the sake of your Yuan family's face."
"Did the magistrate say that my son was uttering arrogant words? Is there anyone who can prove it?"
"I saw it!"
"I saw it too!"
Everyone in the Suzaku Army spoke one after another, and the Hundred Flags of the Suzaku Army said: "I beat the people, and I also chopped down these rogues. They attacked the prefect, and their crime should be punished. It is a serious crime of confiscating the family and destroying the ancestors.
Are you the leader of these people?"
"Who are you?" Yuan Chongguo looked at Baiqi coldly, and his intuition told him that this person was extraordinary. Now that he knew his identity, he was not afraid at all, and his eyes looked at him with indifference.
