Lin Mi still wanted to make excuses, but Cui Weizhen ignored him and directly asked the guards to stop the other party who wanted to report the information. He looked over with a half-smile but said, "County Magistrate Lin, what do you mean?"
Lin Mi was sweating profusely and he was speechless.
Cui Weizhen sneered: "The frame of Magistrate Lin's car is very luxurious. It's really eye-opening for me. I have something to talk to you about. Come on, please invite Magistrate Lin to the county government office."
Not only Magistrate Lin, but also all members of the Lin family present were watched. Lin Mi, Lin Jinyu and his son were the key targets of surveillance. They were unable to report the situation and could only watch the development of the situation anxiously and fearfully.
Unlike the Lin family who were in a cold cellar, the people on the street were all clapping their hands and cheering. Some people felt that it was not enough, so they hurriedly told each other, gathered their friends and crowded to the county government office.
The county government servants and officials heard the commotion coming from far away. Before they could inquire about the news, they were spotted by a group of tall and tough guards in uniform uniforms.
They not only guarded the county government office, but also guarded the back house of the county government office where Magistrate Lin and his family lived. No one was spared at the gate or corner door.
Such a large formation caught them off guard, and panic gradually spread among the crowd. When they saw Magistrate Lin and his son being escorted, they were even more panicked, and suddenly felt a fear of impending disaster.
However, there were also some who were relieved, and the expressions of everyone's faces were all visible to the eyes of the guards.
Zhou Wu and others who were sent out yesterday to inquire about the news also came over after hearing the news. They looked dusty. They did not look like they were in the city to inquire about the information, but they looked like they had just returned from outside the city.
Zhou Wu whispered a few words in Cui Weizhen's ear, then took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over. Before Cui Weizhen could do anything, County Magistrate Lin's expression changed drastically when he saw this scene, his face turned blue, and his eyes wanted to see him.
The letter burned a hole.
However, no matter how hard he struggled, there was no chance that the letter would fall into his hands.
The Lin family father and son were soon taken to court. The government officials sleepwalked throughout the whole process, looking at the former high-ranking county magistrate as a prisoner on trial with blank expressions, as fake as if they were in a dream.
Zhou Wuke ignored their thoughts and patted the nearest government official in a very "friendly" manner: "Brother, the magistrate is going to be promoted to court, and you government officials don't know what to do? If you don't understand, our brothers don't know either.
I can do it for you.”
They were polite words, but they made the government officials break out in a cold sweat for no reason. Even the county magistrate was detained in the court. If they were just "worked on behalf of", wouldn't they have to pack up and leave?
The government officials were refreshed and immediately began to perform their duties skillfully, especially the people who were swarming outside. If they had not been stopped by the government officials, they would have almost rushed to the court.
Ye Zhenzhen is one of these people. Fortunately, her carriage has been following Cui Weizhen closely, so she can occupy the favorable terrain and arrive at the scene first——
Originally, Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming wanted to come down together to watch the fun, but Ye Zhenzhen ruthlessly rejected it. Aunt Cui also didn't agree with the two children joining the crowd, so she teamed up with Ye Zhenzhen to suppress them.
Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming were right not to come.
In just the blink of an eye, the outside of the county government office was almost overcrowded by people watching the fun. The crowded and empty streets made people suspect that people from the county town were here to watch the fun.
Fortunately, there were maids and guards standing by to block people, otherwise Ye Zhenzhen would have to be squeezed into a meat pie. Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming, the two little cubs, came over. Although they would not be squeezed, they would inevitably be squeezed because of the turbid air.
Difficulty breathing.
Ye Zhenzhen was a little breathless now.
When Cui Weizhen saw this scene, he frowned and was stunned: "Quiet!"
This was so powerful that not only the court hall, but also the people watching the excitement outside became silent. This was not just the effect of the gavel, but Cui Weizhen's own majesty. Although he was only wearing ordinary clothes, he was sitting high
When the bright mirror hangs high in the courtroom, an invisible force of intimidation pours out. Wherever the eyes sweep, people dare not be arrogant easily.
Cui Weizhen then asked: "Where is the county captain?"
The county magistrate is the assistant officer of the county magistrate, responsible for public security and catching thieves.
After giving the order, a lean and capable middle-aged man immediately walked out of the crowd on the left side of the court hall and bowed deeply to the chairperson of the court hall: "Shi County Lieutenant Shi Ming, please follow the orders of the magistrate."
"Lead the yamen servants to the yamen gate to maintain order, and do not allow the people to be trampled or injured."
Shi Ming came down in response.
Cui Weizhen made arrangements in an orderly manner: "Where are the county magistrate and the chief registrar?"
Two middle-aged men walked out of the crowd on the left again, one tall, one short, one fat and one thin. The tall and fat one was the county magistrate, and the short and thin one was the chief registrar.
The tall and fat county magistrate looked familiar. Cui Weizhen thought about it and finally remembered - when he summoned the county magistrates to provide disaster relief, the county magistrate named Gao was following Lin Mi. It seemed that this person should be
Lin Mi became a confidant.
The Prime Minister of Gaoxian County and the Marquis Registrar came forward to see Li, and stood with their hands tied in a formal manner, waiting for instructions.
During this period, County Magistrate Gao and Magistrate Lin did not make any eye contact, as if they were mortal enemies. On the contrary, Master Hou took the opportunity to glance at the Lin family father and son.
Just now, the guards conducted a surprise control and took into account the reactions of all parties. Combined with Zhou Wu's simple investigation, Cui Weizhen initially grasped the divisions of the various factions in Shixian County Yamen.
Cui Weizhen glanced at Zhou Wu and said: "Zhou Wu, go down and fetch the relevant ledgers of disaster relief bank expenditures and granary expenditures in the past six months with County Magistrate Gao and County Magistrate Lin."
Prime Minister Gao Xian's face changed slightly, but Master Hou's expression remained calm and he bowed very obediently. Under this situation, Prime Minister Gao Xian could only respond.
Under Zhou Wu's surveillance, the two of them did not dare to communicate with anyone and went directly to the mission room to get the account books.
Cui Weizhen continued to give instructions: "When someone comes, let me know that all the villagers are coming with their account books."
Immediately, there were government officials who followed the orders. Cui Weizhen did not send anyone to supervise this time. Firstly, because there were not many guards in Cui Mansion and they would be used for other reasons later.
As for another reason... the streets were full of people watching the excitement. A group of people were already following behind a few government officials who went to summon people. With spies everywhere, if they dared to do anything strange, they would be punished.
Just wait until you don't make a mistake.
One instruction after another came from Cui Weizhen's mouth, which was clear and well-founded. Even the common people with little knowledge could see where the magistrate's sword was pointing. Gradually, everyone became excited.
The prefect is going to conduct a thorough investigation into the disaster relief money!
This news was like a heat wave, spreading back one after another. The people who heard it were all moved, and some even started to burst into tears, shouting loudly: "The sky has eyes, Lin Mi, this dog official, is finally going to die."
