The censor of Dongcheng turned to the disciples of the Liu family and shouted: "Invite your master back quickly and put an end to this mess!"
The Liu family disciple also said in distress: "My master is not in the city."
The day before yesterday, when Liu Da Sima was discussing matters in the ministry, he made an impromptu decision to go to Jurong. Not everyone in the official circles knew about it.
Dongcheng Yushi understood in an instant, no wonder Qin Dewei was so arrogant in front of Shangshu's official residence, it was because Da Sima was not there at all.
Qin Dewei pointed out: "Sir, if you really don't know what to do, you might as well stand aside and take a look!
But please don’t worry, someone will solve the matter! If you are still not at ease, you can also hand the matter over to the Sanfa Department and send someone to report it as soon as possible!”
The censor of Dongcheng is very suspicious. You, Qin Dewei, actually want to alarm the Three Law Divisions. Are you so not afraid of making things worse?
It was also a coincidence that as soon as Qin Dewei finished talking about the Three Law Divisions, Zhou Lun, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment of Nanjing, appeared.
Originally, the three law offices were far outside Taipingmen, so even if we called for someone, we might not be able to call them over in time.
But Zhou Shangshu went to visit the garrison eunuch Yan Hong today because of the "political crisis" and happened to pass by nearby.
Seeing the commotion and hearing that Qin Dewei was here, Zhou Da Sikou was really surprised.
Wasn't it rumored that Qin Dewei went to Jurong the day before yesterday? Why did he show up here again at this time?
So Zhou Shangshu had to come over and see what was going on.
Besides, it also involves criminal matters. Even if he doesn't care about it now, he might get a lawsuit in the future.
After glancing at the scene, Zhou Lun scolded with full official authority: "To summon one person, you need so many police officers? How can you still yell along the street and disturb the people? How unbecoming!"
Zhou Da Sikou did not say this to any one person, but to all the government officials.
But Qin Dewei responded proactively: "There are so many servants here, and Luo Heng is allowed to run away. It shows that it is even worse with fewer people!"
It makes so much sense that Zhou Lun actually felt a little speechless.
When Luo Heng saw a big shot interfering, he became more courageous and dared to approach the door slightly from the inside, but he still did not dare to go out.
He loudly replied: "Someone wants to harm me, how can I not run away?"
Qin Dewei immediately retorted: "That's nonsense! Who harmed you?"
Luo Heng enumerated: "Someone committed a murder in front of the Shanshan Guild Hall, and the west gate threatened to block Western merchants. Looking at all the disadvantages, isn't it an intention to cause harm?"
Qin Dewei said disdainfully: "The steward in front of the Shanshan Guild Hall was beaten. I heard it was two Huajie Wangba thugs who did it. Don't ask me how I know.
As for the west gate to block Western merchants, that is a rumor. Commander Xu has already refuted the rumor!
That is to say, you are a fool, and when you hear some rumors, you think others are going to harm you!
What you call delusion of being persecuted is also a manifestation of your own guilty conscience!
That’s worth pondering, why do you feel guilty? What did you do to feel guilty?”
Wucao! Leader Luo finally realized that he might have been fooled.
Could it be that the impending storm of a series of bad news and the threat of dozens of government officials coming to the door are all fake!
He couldn't help but said angrily: "What can I feel guilty about? Can't I just think about protecting myself?
Who in the city doesn’t know about your Qin Dewei’s relationship with Jiangning County? If I rashly capture you, wouldn’t I be walking into a tiger’s den?”
Qin Dewei burst out laughing, which was baffling.
At this time, a police officer holding a ticket suddenly stepped forward and said, "Sorry, we are officers from Shangyuan County!"
Luo Heng: "..."
What kind of ghost is this horse rider? Why did Shangyuan County appear again!
Qin Dewei suppressed his laughter and mocked: "You still say you are not delusional about being persecuted? It's clear that Shangyuan County wants to arrest you, but you have been fantasizing about Jiangning County persecuting you!"
If it weren't for the dozens of enemy servants blocking the gate, Luo Heng would have even thought of rushing out and dying with Qin Dewei.
He also suddenly understood, no wonder the spy he had left at the Jiangning County government office was of no use at all. It turned out that the officer who took action today was from Shangyuan County!
At this time, several gongs sounded "dang-dang", and the etiquette team from Qizhi County, Shangyuan County also arrived.
It has been four years since Qin Dewei traveled through time. Most of the official positions in Nanjing have been changed. Only the Qi Magistrate of Shangyuan County next door has remained unchanged.
Theoretically, Ming officials were held for three-year terms, and they could serve up to three terms of nine years in the same position, which is called full examination.
But in fact, very few people actually work for nine years, and Qizhi County, Shangyuan County, is seeing this trend. Only he knows how it feels.
Still think this place is not lively enough? Zhou Dasikou frowned and asked: "What are you doing in Shangyuan County again?"
Qi Zhixian walked outside the gate of the official residence of the Minister of War in Nanjing, pointed at Luo Heng inside the gate, and said angrily:
"We in Shangyuan County have employed hundreds of police officers, but we can't even get a single one!
This is simply shocking and appalling! How could I, the county magistrate, not come and see for myself!"
Zhou Shangshu was speechless again. The same thing has different interpretations from different angles...
He judged very shrewdly that from this style of speaking, Qi Zhixian and Qin Dewei were definitely in the same group, and maybe Qin Dewei even taught him how to speak!
Then I heard Qin Dewei interjecting: "This is not surprising. If this person is protected by a noble family, of course it will be difficult to catch him!
This has been the case since ancient times! Mr. Qi County, didn’t you notice that there are still a few injured government officials lying on the ground in front of the door?”
Qi Zhixian took off his black gauze hat, stared at the door of the Ministry of War's official residence, and shouted sternly: "In ancient times, there were strong orders that were not afraid of the powerful. Didn't we, the Ming Dynasty, not have them?"
Zhou Shangshu watched with cold eyes, secretly surprised when he saw this.
Wucao! The atmosphere suddenly became awe-inspiring!
Liu Da Sima is afraid that it will be difficult for him, so he must also pay attention to his position!
Thinking of this, Zhou Shangshu asked: "In Shangyuan County, you made such a big show of arresting this man named Luo. What is the name?"
The county magistrate of Qi replied in a flawless manner: "Qin Dewei, a student, went to Shangyuan County to sue Luo Heng. First, he instigated others to falsely accuse Liangshan, which is a crime of frame-up and false accusation!
Secondly, forcing shops to close and disrupting order in the city is the crime of inciting civil unrest! Thirdly, spreading rumors wantonly is the crime of misleading the public with lies!"
Qin Dewei quickly added on the spot: "One more thing: collusion between government and businessmen, violence and misconduct, and violation of the law!"
Everyone's eyes were opened. Can the complaint be recharged now?
Qizhi County stared at Zhou Shangshu and responded to the newly added charge of "collusion between officials and businessmen": "This article involves Shangguan. Shangyuan County is inconvenienced. It also needs to invite ministers to preside over the trial!"
Qin Dewei sneered and said: "The Nanjing Ministry has a culture where officials protect each other. They only protect each other, so they might as well report it to the guarding eunuch!"
Zhou Lun, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment of Nanjing, and the great Sikou of Zhou stood here, feeling that they were being squeezed...
The censor of Dongcheng, who tried hard to turn himself into a transparent person, hid in the corner and secretly rejoiced that it was a coincidence that Zhou Shangshu came here.
Otherwise, you may bring the case back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate yourself, or ask the Imperial Censors to handle it, and then it will be the Metropolitan Procuratorate who will be in charge.
Qin Dewei then said to Qi County Magistrate: "I have heard for a long time that Qi County respects the people as much as a son and hates evil as much as an enemy. I would like to ask Qi County to make the decision!"
After all, the subject of direct interrogation is Luo Heng, not a certain Shangguan, so there is no need to pretend to be someone else!
If you really find out something about Shangguan, just report it to the court truthfully!"
Qi Zhixian looked around and suggested: "Since here and now, there is a chief minister of the Ministry of Punishment, a censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the county, we might as well conduct a joint interrogation on the spot.
This can be regarded as a joint trial by Xiaosantang, which is enough to demonstrate justice!"
The public trial was held outside the gate of the official residence of the Minister of War. Zhou Shangshu was silent, unable to make a decision.
He subconsciously glanced at the Liu family's gate again. Such a bad idea must have been thought up by Qin Dewei!
Qin Dewei, a young man with sharp eyes, suddenly rushed towards the corner with long strides and grabbed the censor of Dongcheng who was quietly walking out: "My lord, please don't leave! I haven't asked you yet, what is your surname?"
