Chapter 424
In front of the Leizhou Prefecture Hall, the people in the city were already gathered, and they were all paying attention to the majestic and solemn court.
Is Tang Buyuan fake?
As soon as this statement was spoken, everyone was completely stunned. The sixth-rank magistrate of the Ming Dynasty was actually fake. How dare people believe it is simply incredible.
"How is this possible? Shen Liu is joking, right?"
"That's it! This is what County Magistrate Tang looked like when he first took office!"
"Minister Tang is a rare good official, how could this be fake?"
...
The people in the hall looked at each other, then chose to shake their heads, not accepting Shen Qing's inference, and still cast a vote of confidence for Tang Buyuan. In addition, this matter was indeed absurd and they could not accept it for a while.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, I have never heard of such a ridiculous thing, and the imperial court's official orders can still be fake.
Although Lin Xuran thought the matter was incredible, he did not blindly deny the inference, but looked at Tang Buyuan solemnly.
This seemingly the most ridiculous conclusion, but it explains a lot of doubts. If Tang Buyuan was not the real magistrate of the sixth-rank magistrate of the Ming Dynasty, it would be understandable. Why did he ignore his own future and choose to commit such a thing?
criminal acts.
In particular, Holmes once said: After excluding all the impossible, no matter what is left in the end, even if it is impossible, it must be the truth.
"You... don't talk nonsense!" Tang Buyuan's face was horrified and pointed at Shen Qing and scolded angrily. But he didn't know whether it was because of fear or because of anger, the finger actually trembled slightly.
However, Shen Qing ignored Tang Buyuan and bowed to Lin Qingran and said, "Master Master, the little woman has already tried the authenticity of Tang Buyuan for the Lord, and then he will be able to know the truth."
It turns out that these are all the plans of the prefect.
Many ordinary people were a little shaken when they heard that this was a plan set by the prefect, and they no longer trusted Tang Buyuan so much.
Lin Weiran's performance is obvious to all. He first turned against Jia Bao in order to rectify the fish market, but now he has suffered repeated unjust cases and sent the No. 1 domineering leader of Leizhou City to prison.
Everything now is reasonable and well-founded. Tang Buyuan might be really fake. This is also the reason why Lord Guan Zun of the Palace ordered the county magistrate Tang to be imprisoned.
Lin Qingran faced Shen Qing's gaze and found that this pretty girl had left her some face.
In fact, he didn't know about the various changes today, nor did he even know that the letter was perjury, and he was "played" by Shen Qing. However, Shen Qing's remarks were all the credit back to him.
To abandon personal likes and dislikes, I have to admit that this woman is indeed very powerful. She first used perjury to ask for directions, and then when Tang Buyuan revealed her flaws, she naturally took off Tang Buyuan's mask.
Of course, everything must be based on the fact that Tang Buyuan is a fake, otherwise he will also have to bear certain political responsibilities.
Lin Qingran chose to believe in the reasonable and well-founded Shen Qing, and at the same time adopted her suggestion and used her efforts to pry open Tang Buyuan's mouth. It would be better to start with the little person beside him, and then slapped the awkward and said in a deep voice: "Come on earth."
Master Han!”
The county government office was separated by a palace and the government office. Without much knowledge, two yamen came to the county government office to find Master Han.
Mr. Han is about fifty years old and is wearing light blue student costumes. He is a thin old man. He looks upright and has a kind face and a kind look, not like a bad person.
At this time, he was summoned to the court, but he was trembling and looked extremely scared, and was about to salute Lin Qingran.
"Come on, give me a fight!"
Lin Weiran was abnormal and didn't ask anything. He slapped the gavel and ordered.
ah?
Master Han seemed very scared at first, but suddenly heard this and was stunned. The many luck in his heart seemed to disappear at this moment.
Although the yamen on both sides did not understand why the Mansion Master suddenly had such a big smell of gunpowder, it was difficult to disobey the official's orders, and several yamen immediately took the list. He pulled out the thin Master Han and pressed it and started to beat the board.
"Master Master, why is this? Why is this!" Master Han was beaten for no reason and asked in extreme panic.
Lin Qingran slapped the agglomeration and asked in a deep voice: "You are so brave! It's okay to murder Magistrate Tang, but you dare to come to Leizhou City to harm the people with his clerical and official certificate. Are you the main culprit or an accomplice?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was silent.
Everyone realized Lin Junran's clever methods and held their attraction and their eyes fell on Master Han who was beaten.
Even Mrs. Jiang, who was hiding behind the screen and eavesdropping on the interrogation, always pricked her ears and wanted to listen to Master Han's answer. I had to admit in my heart that this little man really had to look at him with admiration, and was definitely not the nerd I had originally remembered.
"Oh... stop beating, I'll call it! I'll call it!" Master Han thought the matter was completely exposed, so he said in pain: "I am an accomplice! My lord clearly shows that I am just an accomplice, and I was forced by them!"
"Oh my god! County Magistrate Tang is really fake!"
"Is this too bold! He actually pretended to be a court official?"
"It's second to pretend, they actually killed the real Magistrate Tang!"
...
There was a sudden uproar under the extremely quiet hall. Although there were already speculations, it was still unbelievable to confirm it. For a moment, the hall was noisy like a vegetable market.
Their magistrate was actually fake. What a strange story in the world, and this matter will inevitably spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.
It's true!
Lin Weiran was also shocked when he heard Master Han’s answer. In the two major cases of the Chen family’s bloody murder and the Li County Chief Jiao Zijing case, there were actually cases of the murder of magistrate Tang and the incredible fake magistrate.
This confusing Leizhou City seemed to gradually become clear. After the bully Jia Bao, he hid a very deep fake magistrate.
After Master Han admitted it, Tang Buyuan was taken back to the court.
Tang Buyuan found that everyone's eyes were obviously different, which made him feel confused.
Originally, he wanted to refuse to admit his death and wanted to keep the amulet of the magistrate, which made Lin Qingran feel afraid. But after learning that Master Han admitted it, he was like a defeated chicken.
In fact, from Shen Qing pointing out that he was not Tang Buyuan, he knew that everything was over and all the struggles were in vain. Once his identity was checked, he could not hide, and there were too many flaws on him.
"Do you want our mansion to torture you, or do you want to be honest!" Lin Weiran slapped the agglomeration and looked at Tang Buyuandao under the hall with cold eyes.
thump!
Tang Buyuan could no longer hold on, kneeled on the ground with his knees, tears burst out from his eyes, and began to reveal his crimes.
His original name was Liu San, and he followed the other five people to occupy Jiming Mountain as a thief, gradually becoming a powerful force. Because he was located at the junction of the two provinces, he did not attract large-scale officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress them.
Their group is known for their ruthlessness and mainly loots merchants traveling between Guangxi and Guizhou. The merchants they looted will never leave any living.
But in the dark, God seemed to guide them here.
During an operation to loot a private salt caravan, their fourth brother died in an armed battle, allowing them to secretly record the hatred of the Chen family, a salt merchant in Leizhou City.
Not long after, they looted an ordinary business trip. However, when checking their identities, they found that one of them was an official from the Ming Dynasty, and the place where they served was Leizhou City.
This will definitely be a crime for killing an imperial official, and it will even lead to encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers.
After some discussion between the five brothers, they went to Leizhou City to work hard and found Liu San, who was most suitable for Tang Buyuan's appearance, pretended to be Tang Buyuan and went to Leizhou City to take up his post together.
It’s not that they don’t know the huge risks involved in doing so. If Tang Buyuan’s relatives and friends find out their identity, their group will die without a place to bury them.
However, after their analysis, Leizhou Prefecture is different from the inland prefecture. Leizhou Prefecture is located at the southernmost end of the Ming Dynasty, and few officials will "pass by", which greatly reduces the possibility of them being discovered.
At the beginning of their post, they were indeed worried for a long time, and even Liu San suffered from insomnia.
Especially a master named Song came to the door on his own initiative, which almost scared them. However, their actions have always been decisive and ruthless, so they turned Master Song into an unidentified burnt corpse.
Gradually, they found that Li Daitaozhun's plan was very successful, and no one could see through their true identity, and they also controlled the Haikang County Government.
But they knew that such things could not be concealed forever, and things would be exposed sooner or later.
It is precisely because they locked on the Chen family, the richest businessman in Leizhou City, with a revenge and greedy desire, and thus formulated a cruel plan to loot the Chen family.
The plan went smoothly. They successfully washed the Chen family, avenged their fourth brother, and ransacked the Chen family's vault, successfully gaining a wealth far beyond their imagination.
But things still had a little deviation. A friend of County Magistrate Li seemed to mention something about Tang Buyuan in the letter, which made County Magistrate Li doubt Liu San's identity.
Coincidentally, the case of robbing the Chen family was overheard by County Chief Li.
Fortunately, they also found the eavesdropping County Chief Li on the spot, so they chose to kill County Chief Li and burn the body on West Lake Mountain.
After the Chen family was killed, their original plan was to flee to the sea with their belongings, but suddenly they faced a huge pressure.
First, Jia Bao had noticed their existence and wanted to get a share of it; second, the new prefect suddenly took office, so that they might be exposed to transfer money.
To be on the safe side, they did not choose to escape rashly, but lurked again, trying to eliminate these two major hidden dangers and leave Leizhou City.
After some discussion, on the one hand, they hoped that the new magistrate could help them solve Jia Bao, and on the other hand, they wanted to get rid of Lin Weiran.
After confirming this goal, they took the initiative to spread remarks against Jia Bao, pushed Li's death to Jia Bao, set fire to the stable where the new magistrate settled, and then placed the bloody whip in his room
On the desktop, the young and energetic new magistrate dealt with Jia Bao.
Sure enough, the newly appointed young prefect pointed the finger at Jia Bao, and the two clashed in the fish market.
In the next development, the young prefect really focused on dealing with Jia Bao, and used the Ruan Yaoer case to attack them, thus helping them to restrain Jia Bao.
When Lin Weiran put Jia Bao in prison, their first goal was achieved.
At this time, their previous exquisite layout can finally be activated, hoping that the fake woodcutter would get rid of Lin Weiran.
What they never expected was that Lin Qingran was alert to the failure of the woodcutter's operation. This exquisite layout not only failed to successfully eliminate Lin Qingran, but also put Liu San at the risk of exposure.
The subsequent development has put them in greater passivity.
First, the mute Shen Qingliang revealed his identity, which made the new magistrate point directly at Liu San, and he decisively put Liu San in prison.
However, they knew that the most effective way to solve the current dilemma was to try to get rid of Lin Liangran.
It is precisely because they accepted Jia Wu's "hire". Following Jia Wu's attack on the government office, they wanted to take the opportunity to kill Lin Qingran, so that Liu San could regain power as the magistrate of Haikang.
But this time, they failed again and were almost wiped out.
Before Liu San could find his life, Shen Qing tore off his mask, making his identity as a fake magistrate public, and he was destined to never return to heaven.
"Liu San, a sage, please spare your life!" Liu San lost the disguise of the magistrate, and now he is no different from a civilian. Tears of regret fell like rain.
Lin Weiran listened to these conspiracies, and layers of cold sweat broke out on his back.
If it weren't for his handsome appearance and he had avoided the killing moves of Liu San, the band of robbers, he would have become a dead body. And the group of people also ran overseas with those wealth and enjoyed their lives.
"Oh my God! They also did the Chen family's bloody murder!"
"These people are so bold that they have committed serious crimes repeatedly!"
"We still think he is a good official. This person deserves to be punished by death!"
...
The people who learned the truth were also shocked. They did not expect that things would be so tortuous, nor did they expect that their magistrate's face would be so unbearable. They were actually a robber leader.
"You made such a big mistake! You killed people like a thief, and the fake official even slaughtered the thirty members of the Chen family. You let me forgive you like this!" Lin Weiran slapped the auspicious tree, then noticed Shen Qing's surface, and added
: "Sir Song/Mr. Li County Magistrate/Shen Liu, every case is a life-threatening case. It is not worth mercy to cut your head a hundred times!"
Lin Qingran naturally would not sympathize with this vicious and extremely evil. He interrogated other accomplices one by one, asking them to sign and seal each, intending to report this world-famous case to the Ministry of Justice.
It is worth mentioning that the stolen silver he was most concerned about before was also found. The stolen silver was stored in a dark room in the back of the county government office, but the amount seemed to be somewhat different, and only 100,000 taels of silver were accumulated inside.
Chapter completed!
