Chapter 21: People's hearts are strong, officials can't be deceived

(Today, the trend of tickets is declining. Could it be that there are too many updates and less support? It's so depressing! In addition, the website seems to have a Mid-Autumn Festival mooncake activity. If you are interested, you can learn about it!)

The spring was chilly and after using needles and taking medicine, County Magistrate He's illness became more and more severe and he fell asleep all day long. In this state, it was impossible for the director to be in charge.

County Magistrate Huang was willing to become the acting county magistrate, and reported the situation to Nanyang Prefecture, asking the magistrate to report to the prefecture and make a charter as soon as possible.

County Magistrate He was originally scheduled to retire next year, but his current state may have to be advanced. He retreated and County Magistrate Huang took over, which was natural. County Magistrate Huang had already made it clear before, but now he was just a formal document and name.

Since he was acting in the county government affairs, interrogating Jiang Caoqi's murder case became the primary priority. However, in the past two days, the county has been rumored that the person Jiang Caoqi killed was the nephew of Huang County Magistrate, and Huang County Magistrate should avoid suspicion.

Behind these public opinions, there are obviously someone guiding and encouraging them. It won’t take long for the entire murder to be clearly exposed. Huang County Magistrate Huang’s nephew, ** Minnie, was the first, and he tried to use his strength to make it happen that Jiang Caoqi would angrily kill people later.

After saying this, the people's positions are all inclined to Jiang Caoqi's side.

The people should not be bullied, and they hate bullies and gangsters the most. Before, many people hated Wu Laitou in the county and had reported it to the county government many times. However, Wu Laitou was an old man who bullied the good, but he was responsible. However, he was so popular that County Magistrate He had no choice but to eat for two days at most. After he came out, he was still the headache-inducing rogue.

But the nephew Huang County Magistrate's approach was quite outrageous, with strong intentions and mob women. What's wrong? If he was not killed by Jiang Caoqi, wouldn't he be arrogant and do whatever he wanted in the county in the future? Will everyone have a good life?

In this way, the people felt that Jiang Caoqi protects his wife and kills bullies, but instead a chivalrous act to eliminate harm to the people.

Jiang Caoqi has always been a chivalrous person and has helped many people in the countryside. After hearing the news, those people came to the county on their own and wanted to plead for Jiang Caoqi. This makes people feel that Jiang Caoqi's murder has a reason and should be merciful outside the law.

Not long after, another important message spread throughout the city, saying that his nephew was killed, and County Magistrate Huang was extremely furious and tried every means to kill Jiang Caoqi who was locked in the prison. Therefore, if Jiang Caoqi died in the prison inexplicably, it must be the hands of County Magistrate Huang...

Conspiracy theories have always been the most disseminated topic, not to mention the well-founded conspiracy theories. So, as soon as the message came out, it immediately spread all over the city.

The message reached Huang County Magistrate's ears, and he was so angry that he smashed a set of exquisite teacups: "Check, see who was behind the scenes and spread rumors! Let Constable Zhong lead people to patrol, and any disseminator will lock them back to the yamen."

The middle-aged scholar Zhang quickly advised: "Please calm down, please don't have to do this. Such an overreaction is just a trap of others. If the situation is serious and arouses civil unrest, it will be out of control."

County Magistrate Huang was actually angry for a moment and made the decision to arrest people. Now, he listened to the persuasion of his staff and gradually calmed down. He suddenly realized that he was still acting as a county magistrate. If the people's hearts change and the trouble begins, the black hat that he was about to get was suspended and all his previous efforts were wasted.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel cold sweat: "Ask Zhang, what should I do according to your wishes?"

Aide Zhang replied: "In the current situation, it is no longer feasible to let Shi Lao Tzu attack, so he should be told to stop."

County Magistrate Huang's face was gloomy: "Then let others lead the nose and watch it, and nothing can be done? Damn, how can Zhuang'er's revenge be revenged?"

Aide Zhang rubbed his beard and shook his head and said, "Sir, don't be impatient, just let the Jiang surname live a few more days. My subordinates have a plan."

"Oh, say it."

"From the subordinates' perspective, Jiang Caoqi is likely to be sentenced to exile. I won't say how much of the flow is yet, but the long road is long, how far he can go is the key. Since it is now at the forefront of the storm, it is not easy to take action in prison, but when we go outside, we have the final say?"

County Magistrate Huang's eyes lit up: "What you mean is to arrange a confidant to escort, and then take the opportunity on the way..."

With a wave of his right hand, he made a "behead" move.

Aide Zhang said: "Sir, that's exactly what it is."

County Magistrate Huang thought about it and thought this plan was feasible. He smiled sinisterly: "Okay, that's it. Go and find Shi Zhuozhuo again and tell him not to act rashly; and also, send someone to the public to investigate and find out the person who was hiding behind to make trouble. I want to see who is the sacred place!"

Now that this incident has caused him to go to a dilemma, it is very difficult to do, and it is extremely uncomfortable to hold his breath in his heart.

Aide Zhang took the order and left.

The martial arts hall in the rain looks deserted.

Today, Xu Nianniang rarely went to the tavern to drink, but sat under the eaves of the martial arts hall, staring at the water droplets dripping into the curtain, and was stunned.

Xu Jun saw it and asked softly: "Dad, are you thinking about your mother again?"

The tenderness in Xu Nianniang's eyes restrained it very well: "No, I'm thinking about something else."

"What else?"

Xu Jun was stunned. She didn't understand anything else that could make her father feel dazed.

Xu Nianniang laughed: "I originally wanted to take care of some idiots, but now it seems that they don't need it."

"People?"

Xu Jun still doesn't understand very much.

Xu Nianniang looked at the sky with her hands behind her back: "A interesting person, a person who was missed by me, who said that he was useless to be a scholar? He is good at planning and being good at it."

Speaking of "scholar", Xu Jun seemed to understand that she was a smart girl from Bingxue. She learned from one example and sighed quietly: A scholar hasn't been to the martial arts hall for a long time. He was in trouble. Should he help me?

Xu Nianniang seemed to see through her thoughts and suddenly said, "Xu Jun, at least so far, you are not from the same world as him. The more you help him, the more you will harm him."

Xu Jun lowered his head and said, "I understand."

...

Regarding Jiang Caoqi's murder case, County Magistrate He cannot be tried, and County Magistrate Huang cannot be tried. According to official practice, he can only submit it to Nanyang Prefecture.

It was of great importance. After reviewing the case, the prefect Su Guancheng rushed to Jingxian County and went to the court to open the trial. This case was not complicated. Jiang Caoqi confessed to the murder. Then he asked Chen Ermei, the maid of the Chen family, and the followers of the nephew of Huang County Magistrate. Su Guancheng made a judgment and sentenced Jiang Caoqi to exile for five thousand miles.

The Chen family can accept this result. Although exile is hard and tiring, it is better than being exiled. If he is sentenced to be exiled to Liangzhou, it will be no different from being beheaded.

You should know that Liangzhou is the northernmost part of the Xia Yu Dynasty, and is a place where the wars are turbulent. When you go there, you will die for a lifetime.

After the verdict, Su Guancheng read out another appointment letter, which was issued by the governor of Yangzhou, to confirm that the resignation of County Magistrate He and appointed Huang County Magistrate as Jing County Magistrate.

Originally, the court ordered the removal or appointment of officials to be reviewed and approved by the Ministry of Personnel before they could take effect. However, in recent years, because the emperor is addicted to the immortal path, recites scriptures and takes medicine all day long, and pursues immortality. The court's principles have been relaxed, and the binding force on the governor of Jiuzhou is much worse than before. Over time, the power of local governments has continued to expand and has become a separatist trend. Resolutions for appointments and removals such as the eighth and nine ranks are made directly by the governor, and then reported to the court for approval.

The situation is developing in some unpredictable directions. The experienced person feels that the storm is coming, so he sighs: "This world is about to change."

When people outside the world investigated Feng Shui, they saw that Xia Yu's dragon energy was getting old, but each part of the Jiuzhou had new dragon energy that was about to move and slowly condensed, which was called "hidden dragon".

When the hidden dragon appears, it shows its minions and teeth, and fights for the Xia Yu dragon vein, the world will be in chaos.

Don't talk about it, get back to the point.

When the judgment was issued and executed immediately, two officials put Jiang Caoqi in heavy shackles and shackles and wanted to escort him out of the city.

However, before leaving, the family members were allowed to feed and see them off.

Mrs. Chen had cooked food and prepared a jar of good wine. Chen Ermei personally fed her husband's food. As for the official, she would not be neglected. Chen Sanlang sent the delicious food and secretly stuffed silver.

The official took the money, but he didn't say much, and his attitude was intriguing.

Seeing this, Chen Sanlang felt very happy.

After completing the affairs, Su Guancheng returned to the palace. In the county government, He Zhiming's condition improved slightly. He made a simple handover with the new county magistrate. He was supported by his family and left the county government and returned home. He was in office for many years and governed Qingming and was well-known as a clean official. The people came to him and sent the blue sky umbrella and cried and shouted to see him off. He was very reluctant to leave.

However, there was a different scene in the county government, with many officials celebrating and joyful.

The difference between officials and the people is in sharp contrast, which is quite ironic.

Huang County Magistrate... No, Huang County Magistrate got what he wanted and became the emperor of a county. He was in a great mood, but when he thought of his murdered nephew, he couldn't help but feel angry: "Assistant Zhang, how are the matter arranged?"

The boss took office, and Zhang's assistant rose to the top, and he was proud of his youth, and he hurriedly said, "Sir, all the arrangements are made. After going five hundred miles, Zhang Jia and Li Yi can do it."

County Magistrate Huang nodded and praised: "Okay, it is difficult to vent his hatred if he doesn't kill this beast." He paused and asked again: "How was the matter asking you to investigate?"

"Sir, Jiang Caoqi's parents died early, and there were no capable people around him. Those guests were all idle men, with only brute force and no strategy. After searching, after thinking about it, there was only one person the most suspicious."

"Oh, who is it?"

"Chen Sanlang."

Hearing this name, Huang County Magistrate was stunned: "You are talking about the son of the Chen family, the Chen Sanlang who had passed the white paper after the third class of the boy exam?"

"It's him."

Aide Zhang was very sure: "My subordinates have found out that Chen Sanlang had a horrible disease before, so he couldn't take the exam. This year, this disease was cured without medicine and had already passed the exam. The next level is the hospital examination."

"Hmph, just a little boy, dares to go against me, and you're simply ignorant of your life."

County Magistrate Huang didn't take the little Tongsheng seriously at all. But at this time, he couldn't find Chen Sanlang immediately. As the new official took office, he should seek stability first. No matter what, the other party was a innocent scholar and was participating in the boy exam.

"Then let's wait first. If this child fails the college entrance examination and cannot get fame, he will have many opportunities to kill him in the future."

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Huang suppressed his murderous intent.
