After judging the cause and effect, Fang Yingwu looked up at the sky and told Lou Tianhua: "Since Dongchang has sent over the criminals and the case files, I will strike while the iron is hot and conclude the case this afternoon.
You go and deliver the order to the court."
Lou Tianhua put down the imperial calendar in his hand in stunned silence. He thought he heard the wrong words. For such a sensitive and important case, the time is definitely not in the court. The trial lasted for ten and a half months, which is just a trivial matter, and even if it dragged on for a year and a half, it would not count.
It’s strange that the proprietor only wants to use it all afternoon? This is simply nonsense. This is not the way to cut through a mess with a sharp knife...
So amid all the doubts, the county magistrate was promoted to court. Several key members of the West Factory who had been submitted by the East Factory were taken directly to wait outside the county government office before they were sent to jail.
Fang Yingwu raised his eyes and looked at it. These figures in the West Factory were probably used to being unruly. They were not kneeling in the hall waiting for trial. They didn't look like they were guilty at all. Although they had lost power at this time, they were all once influential figures and were not generals.
The county government saw it.
But it didn't matter, Fang Yingwu didn't care, and slapped the case: "Wei Ying is the culprit!" Wei Ying, the former head of the West Factory Qianhu, was brought to the court. He stood still facing the case and still did not kneel down.
At this time, Wei Qianhu was faced with the superior Fang Magistrate, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. The first time he met Fang Yingwu, he was an official, and Fang Yingwu was a prisoner who was sent to prison, but today the situation is reversed.
come over.
The uncertainty still lies in the fact that Wei Qianhu is not sure how Fang Yingwu will resolve the case. Should he take it lightly out of consideration for Eunuch Wang's love for him, or will he take revenge because he was treated poorly last time? Thinking of this, Wei Qianhu felt a little bit
Regret, if I had known earlier, the other party should have been more tolerant in response.
Fang Yingwu flipped through the case file at random and asked casually: "Wei Ying! You committed embezzlement and bending the law. Can you plead guilty?"
Wei Qianhu, as Wang Zhi's protégé, was a famous murderer. The great-grandson of Yang Rong, a Shaobao scholar who was one of the Three Young Masters at that time, died in his hands. And murderers have the pride of murderers.
, Wei Qianhu naturally couldn't bear to show mercy to a small county magistrate. When Fang Yingwu interrogated him, he just snorted coldly and did not answer.
Fang Yingwu chuckled a few times, suddenly pulled out the stick and threw it down, and wrote lightly: "Wei Ying, it doesn't matter whether you plead guilty or not. The facts are all there. I don't think you need to plead guilty."
Then he shouted to the clerk next to him: "Record it! Wei Ying is a traitor and is sentenced to death as a prisoner. Report to the Ministry of Punishment!"
When Wei Qianhu heard the words "behead the prisoner", he was furious. First, he was sensitive and afraid of the word "behead", and second, he felt humiliated. How could a case be judged so casually? He was sentenced directly without even asking a few questions.
A beheaded prisoner, even the most confused and mediocre official cannot judge the case like this, it is simply an insult to him!
So Wei Qianhu couldn't restrain himself and cursed angrily: "Fang Yingwu, you are such a coward!" Fang Zhixian looked at Wei Qianhu indifferently and said, "Roar in the court. Twenty canes, pull down and beat! Change.
The next person commits it!”
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Fang Zhixian slapped the case again and said: "The prison sentence is to be executed! Replace with the next criminal!"
Dongchang sent a total of four people, and it only took half an hour for them all to be "tried". Regardless of whether the prisoner admitted or not, Fang Yingwu only said one sentence: "The facts are all there, and it is a treason. I will be sentenced to death!"
Fang Yingwu looked at the sun again, stretched and said to himself: "We have plenty of time. We can finish the case without spending the night."
The officials on duty on both sides were once again "impressed" by the county magistrate. Although the point of contention in this kind of case lies outside, the trial in court is just a formality and a formality. But even with the formality, Mr. Fang is not very particular about it. None of them have the professionalism to go through the motions.
Returning to Houya, Lou Tianhua came up to greet him and asked: "Master, what are you..." Fang Yingwu replied: "Then Shang Ming will think that he has put me in a dilemma, and even expects me to do it for Eunuch Wang made a big mistake in trying to protect the West Factory! I will not hesitate at all!"
Lou Tianhua said that he didn't understand what Fang Yingwu meant at all... He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.
At this time, seeing that it was evening, Fang Yingwu said a few more words, then changed into casual clothes, asked Fang Yingshi to leave the county office and go home, and met his father in the study.
When Fang Qingzhi saw his son returning home, he asked, "Why are you coming back when you are not on the county government board?" Fang Yingwu replied, "Of course I have asked my father again! Please help me write a memorial and impeach him." That Dongchang Admiral Shang Ming."
Fang Qingzhi was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly became angry for no reason. He put down the book and reprimanded his son: "As a father, I am not your gunman! Today I will help you impeach this, and tomorrow I will help you impeach that. What do you think of being a father?" ?”
Fang Yingwu was startled, took two steps back and asked softly: "Father, calm down! Why are you so angry?" Then he asked: "Is it because Shang Ming's momentum has been increasing in recent days and he has been replaced by others? Wang Zhizhi looks like him, so my father is afraid of him?"
Fang Qingzhi immediately jumped to his feet and yelled: "Asshole, how can you be a timid person as a father!" Fang Yingwu sighed and lamented: "In the past, my father always responded to my son's requests. Now that I have a younger brother, The situation is just different. Hey..."
Fang Qingzhi suddenly choked on his thousands of words, and said helplessly: "Then tell me!" Fang Yingwu quickly requested: "Then please ask your father to impeach Shang Ming for colluding with the alchemist Li Zisheng and forming a party. Unruly!"
Fang Qingzhi asked: "Such a thing... do you have evidence?" Fang Yingwu didn't have any evidence, or the evidence was all in the research materials of his previous life. At this time, he could only answer: "There is no evidence." , Father, just listen to what is said."
"How is that possible? The imperial court only allows officials to comment on matters, and as a father, you are not allowed to speak to officials."
"That's exactly the reason!" Fang Yingwu agreed: "So I asked my father to find another Yan Guan as a gunman. Anyway, Yan Guan and Ci Chen are both from Qingliu's group."
Facing the reality, Fang Qingzhi waved his hand feebly, "I know, get out!"
After exiting the study, Fang Yingwu returned to the west courtyard of his house, but the two ladies, Wang Lan and Wang Yu, did not have the joyful enthusiasm. They all had dead faces. Since they met Fang Yingwu, this was their first time. Once!
Because the husband’s behavior last time when he went home to visit his family really broke the hearts of the two young ladies! That time, the husband didn’t say a few words about homely things, and then ran out to have fun, and in the middle of the night, he took a man with him. Come back. That's all. He actually left the two charming ladies alone in the empty room and went to have a long talk with that neither male nor female person who lit the lamp!
When it comes to women, Fang Yingwu always pursues the strategy of cutting off the mess with a sharp knife. He raised his hands to the two concubines and said: "I am going home today with the intention of bringing you the county magistrate to live with me! I will give you dozens of time now, who can Anyone who refuses to give me a smile will stay here!"
Two flowers bloomed, one on each branch, but it was said that Zhang Gui, the newly appointed head of the county government, saw that the county magistrate had left his job, so he left too. When he returned home, he asked his wife: "Do any of your relatives on your mother's side have any age?" A small, outstanding-looking lady?"
Mrs. Zhang asked very vigilantly: "Why are you asking about all this? Don't start having irrational thoughts after a few days of relaxation!"
Zhang Gui scolded: "Where did you think you stupid lady? I am looking for an opportunity for your mother-in-law to climb high branches! The county magistrate has been living alone in the county government office, and he has not said that he will bring his family over. I have been thinking about it. , I feel that the county magistrate must have other thoughts."
Mrs. Zhang nodded at Zhang Gui and mocked: "You spend all day thinking about it. The county magistrate has done nothing, and you have to figure it out!"
"What do you know? How can young people not be lewd? Maybe the county magistrate wants to hire someone new in the house, but it's hard to say it directly, so he has been living alone in the county government office as a hint, and then Just waiting for the smart person with eyes to take the initiative to deliver it to your door!
Besides, Mr. Fang is young and needs to be talented, good-looking, with a strong background, and has a bright future! For people like us, we would have spent eight lifetimes to be his concubines, and we would definitely be unyielding! If it weren’t for our Zhang family If there wasn’t a good-looking lady, I wouldn’t ask you!”
Mrs. Zhang was stunned, "Then what do you think we should do?"
Zhang Gui frowned and urged: "Opportunities are rare, hurry up sooner rather than later, this matter must be cut through quickly, don't let others get ahead of you, maybe someone else realizes this!
If you have a suitable and beautiful young lady in your family, then take her over quickly and I will send her to the inner office overnight. Then there is no need to say anything more.
