Chapter 004: Capturing the Litigator (Part 2) (Revision)
"So, Ansu County arrested this man because he received a license from Baoding Prefecture to assist Huizhou Prefecture in arresting Shuai Jiamo?" Gao pragmatic finally figured out the whole story and asked Liang Wu.
Liang Wu was a little embarrassed and said: "Yes... but it can't be said to be an arrest. In fact, the Huizhou Prefecture's license can only be said to be to summon Shuai Jiamo to the case for trial. We in Ansu County just happened to meet him, so we kept him temporarily.
Come down."
Gao pragmatic didn't dwell on the difference, and just asked: "Where is he now?"
"Uh..." Liang Wu scratched his head and said cautiously: "In prison."
Gao pragmatic frowned and looked at Liang Wu: "That means you still treat him as a criminal?"
Liang Wu's heart tightened, and he said in a panic: "This is the decision of the subordinates. The subordinates were not aware of it for a moment and forgot to deal with it..."
"Senior brother, you are joking." Gao Pingshi immediately waved his hand and interrupted: "Although I have an official title, I am actually just a useless idler. How can I be considered your superior, senior brother?"
Liang Wu was startled when he heard the words, and he was also surprised in his heart: Yes, he is not my Shangguan. Even though he is the nephew of the Prime Minister, I, Liang Qingtong, am also a person who has been named on the official gold list and is a dignified person in the county. Why should I
Are you afraid of him?
But thinking about it, he still knew that the moment Gao Pragmatic looked towards him just now, his heart did tremble. It was really a kind of fear. That look, that look in his eyes, it was as if the person speaking to him was not someone at all.
He is a child less than ten years old, but he has been in a high position for a long time, just like the elders who sit in Wenyuan Pavilion!
Damn it! Could it be that my little junior brother is born with official authority?
Fortunately, Gao Pragmatic didn't know what he was thinking in his mind, otherwise he would have scoffed: How can there be any innate official power! This is just a psychological problem!
First of all, what happened today is obviously that Liang Wu is asking for something from him. Although Gao Pragmatic still doesn’t know what Liang Wu is asking for, no matter what he is asking for, the person who is asking for it will be in a psychologically weak position.
.
Secondly, Gao pragmatically has nothing to ask of Liang Wu - he was asked to help allocate some teaching funds to the county school, which is what the county should do. Gao pragmatically does not expect that money to eat, and he is here today.
This is already a performance to build momentum for Liang Wu. Even if he owed him a favor before, it has already been repaid.
Finally, his pragmatic expression and movements can indeed easily lead to misunderstandings. After all, we have to look at who he is dealing with on a daily basis? The emperor, the prince, the elder of the pavilion, the duke, the marquis, the chief eunuch, the chief eunuch...
Finally, they were also the prince's daily lecturers.
Therefore, when he faced the county magistrate Liang Wu, his demeanor and movements would naturally have some so-called "superior" feeling.
Putting these conditions together, Liang Wu was naturally a little nervous when he faced Gao Pragmatic. When Gao Pragmatic suddenly changed from his previous politeness to seeming dissatisfied, Liang Wu panicked subconsciously.
To put it bluntly, it was so worthless, but Liang Wu didn't have time to think about it at the moment, so he felt more and more that the junior brother in front of him must be an extraordinary person.
Seeing that Nuonuo was silent, Gao pragmatic thought that what he said was too serious. In order to avoid embarrassment, he changed the subject and said: "Since we are just urging him to go back for trial, it is not appropriate to keep him in prison, so he should
Let him out. Besides, this matter has little to do with you, so brother, don’t worry too much."
When Gao pragmatic said this, he paused slightly and added: "I know what senior brother is worried about, but senior brother can rest assured that the whipping method has nothing to do with Beizhili. The current situation of the imperial court
The focus is on South Zhili, where money and silk are abundant and there is an economic basis for implementing the One Whip Law, while North Zhili is close to the capital after all, so it cannot be implemented easily."
To be honest, Gao Pingshi's words of advice to him felt a bit excessive, because Liang Wu was really not ranked among Gao Gong's disciples. There was no need to explain such national affairs to him. If he had enough political acumen,
If it's high, you should understand it on your own. If it's not high enough... there's nothing you can do about it.
However, after all, a county official with a serious Jinshi background, who is so polite and well-behaved in front of me, still has to give people some face, so I just mentioned a few things. As for whether he can understand, then
It's none of your own business.
When Liang Wu heard what Gao Jingshi said, he breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, this county understands. Brother Yu will release the person now..." But when he said this, he suddenly hesitated and asked
: "But what if this person runs away again and refuses to return to Huizhou?"
Running is not important. The important thing is what if he still insists on going to Beijing to complain? Then the Baoding prefect will lose face in front of the Huizhou prefect. As a county magistrate under the Baoding prefect, wouldn’t he also be able to hate Shangguan?
Gao pragmatic knew his worries as soon as he heard it, and said helplessly: "You just need to explain the truth to him clearly, isn't it? You don't have the power to imprison him, so can the Baoding prefect blame you for this?"
Liang Wu smiled bitterly and said: "Junior brother, I don't know something. If this is a normal situation, of course it doesn't matter, but the governor of this mansion and the governor of Huizhou are from the same hometown and the same age..."
Then your luck is really bad!
Gao pragmatic couldn't help but was speechless after hearing this. He thought for a while and said: "Okay, I will help people to the end this time and send the Buddha to the West. Senior brother, please bring the handsome Jiamo, and I will take him out of Ansu County.
As for whether he returns to Huizhou or continues to Beijing, that is none of your business, senior brother."
Liang Wu was overjoyed and thanked him quickly. Then he was a little worried and said, "You won't hurt my dear brother, right?"
"Implicate me?" Gao Pragmatic laughed: "I haven't broken any laws, so how can I be implicated? Can the Huizhou Prefecture or the Baoding Prefecture impeach me over this matter? Or, they sent someone to arrest me? I'll borrow their money.
Ten courageous people, let’s see if they dare!”
Liang Wu was secretly speechless when he heard this, but he had to admit that this junior brother really had the confidence to say this. Not to mention that he had the third uncle of the emperor's second assistant, even if he only relied on his own identity, he would not be able to do that in Huizhou Prefecture.
There is no way he would have the guts to stir up trouble on his head - the person on his head is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young and has no power, he can't resist the fact that the emperor's father is a maniac about doting on his son! You, a mere prefect of Huizhou, dare to touch my son. Are you afraid that you want to go to Yunnan?
The relieved Liang County Master finally made a decision and immediately sent someone to bring Shuai Jiamo over.
Gao Pragmatic was quite interested in this "litigation stick" who was obsessed with mathematics and law, and wanted to see what kind of proud and heroic man dared to do such a thing.
Unexpectedly, not long after, a young man in his mid-twenties rushed forward as soon as he entered the door, knocked his head to the ground, and shouted: "Master Qingtian, help me!"
