The county magistrate looked up and saw a young boy sitting on the wall, looking at him with a smile.
The county magistrate smiled awkwardly and said: "I wonder if the young master is..."
Wulang smiled as if he was ignorant of the world, "Oh, I am the son of the county magistrate."
"It turns out to be the young master!" The county magistrate slightly held his hand.
Wulang asked innocently: "I just saw you spitting and cursing. What did you say?"
The county magistrate's face turned red and he smiled stiffly, "I didn't curse, I just spit."
Wulang kindly reminded: "Don't spit everywhere in the future. It's very unhygienic."
"I know, I know, farewell!" After the county magistrate finished speaking, he hurried away. His back looked like he was running away.
Wulang pulled the grass off the wall, jumped down lightly, and learned what the county magistrate said from Guan Ruoli and the others.
Mrs. Qian scolded: "Seeing that he is quite honest and hospitable, I thought he was a good guy, but it turns out he is a traitor and not a good guy!"
Wulang said with a sullen face: "This is called knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing people's hearts."
Erhu ran over and said happily: "Brother Shuan Zhu is here!"
Shuan Zhu took Xie Rucheng and a beggar named Luo Heihu to take the lead and arrived here first. They saw Dongming Ziyu and the others arriving on the street, so they went to buy some chicken, duck, fish, and vegetables. Everyone had worked hard all the way, so they must eat them at night.
a little better.
The three of them first helped clean up the yard and house. Because there were so many people, they cleaned up quickly, and soon it was enough to barely accommodate people. Everyone had lived in the open air all the way, and now that they have a house to live in, they don't mind it at all.
After sitting at the dinner table and drinking for three rounds, Dongming Ziyu asked about the situation in Shiniu County.
Shuan Zhu handed his affectionate son to his wife and said: "The Zhao family where Inspector Zhao lives is the largest family in Shiniu County. There is a girl in the family who was given to the general at the border to be his aunt.
The defender's power has become the dominant force in this place."
Xie Rucheng said: "The Zhao family has done a lot of things to bully men and women, and the people all know it. Even if they dare to get angry, they dare not speak out, because the accusation will be in vain. The yamen are all members of the Zhao family, and even the county magistrate listens to the Zhao family.
.”
Old Man Dong worriedly said: "We arrested Inspector Zhao, did we hit the iron plate?"
Dongming Ziyu said: "If it cannot be destroyed, it cannot be established. This sore must be dug out. How did the death of Magistrate Wu spread among the people?"
Shuan Zhu said: "I heard that it was done by a government servant named Yang Jiawang. He was resentful because he was fined a salary by Wu County Magistrate. After killing someone, he fled to the mountains. His home was being watched, thinking
When he comes back to see his wife, children and children, catch him."
The common people know only a limited amount about this kind of case. What they know is what the government wants them to know.
After a tiring day, everyone had a solid sleep at night.
Early the next morning, Dongming Ziyu officially took office. He took Zhu Shenzhi with him and first convened a meeting with the county magistrate, chief bookkeeper, dianshi, six-room clerk and other officials.
Dongming Ziyu asked them to sit down and introduce himself first.
After they finished speaking, he said: "The first thing I did when I took office was to interrogate Inspector Zhao. By the way, what is Inspector Zhao's name?"
Magistrate Ma Xian stood up and said, "Your Majesty, my name is Zhao Xingzong."
Dongming Ziyu quietly ordered: "Get ready, let's go to the palace! Oh, by the way, I heard that there are many people from the Zhao family in the Yamen. When I go to the palace, I will ask the prince to lend me the East Palace guards.
Temporarily replacing the third class of Yamen servants."
When everyone heard this, their expressions changed, and they looked at each other. Regardless of the fact that those guards were unusual, they turned out to be guards from the East Palace.
By the way, why did the prince send guards to the new county magistrate?
What is the relationship between the new county magistrate and the prince? Did the prince send him to Shiniu County?
Regardless of what they thought, Dongming Ziyu went to court to inquire about the case.
Zhu Shenzhi, the master and translator, stood beside and behind him.
"Pa!" Dongming Ziyu slapped the hall in shock and said in a deep voice: "Shengtang! The criminal Zhao Xingzong and the bandits who colluded with him!"
"Mighty!" The guards struck the water and fire sticks, their voices using their inner strength, which was very intimidating.
A local government official came in and reported: "Sir, the head of the Zhao family brought a lawyer to see him outside the hall and asked to defend Zhao Xingzong in court."
