Several people looked at each other, looking at the slowly setting sun, feeling a little shuddering.
There is no one in the huge county government office, so how can there be wailing?
It won't be haunted, right?
Just when he had this idea, Chen Zhiyong suddenly scratched his head and said: "It seems that the two people caught at the city gate yesterday were not given food."
Not only were they not given food, when Jiang Yang and the others arrived, they couldn't bear to see this scene.
The two of them had not had any water since last night, their hands and feet were tied up, and rats and ants were crawling on their bodies from time to time.
A few bold mice had already crawled in along the trouser legs. Looking at the ecstatic expressions on the two people's faces, one must have guessed something.
Jiang Yang's mouth twitched. He didn't want to be so cruel, but there were too many things going on today.
He really forgot about it. He rolled his eyes at Chen Zhiyong, and Jiang Yang took on the airs of the county magistrate and snorted coldly: "If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't spare my manpower, I would have asked you to try a more cruel criminal method and loosen their bonds for me."
Come up to the lobby."
Not long after, Jiang Yang sat there in a dignified manner under the plaque of "Justice and Integrity", reviewing the case?
Yes, that’s right today I am Bao Qingtian.
Jingmu slapped the table hard, and the sound echoed in the quiet county government office.
Jiang Yang widened his eyes angrily and said loudly: "My lord, Heren? Why are you inciting the people to prevent me from taking office? Why don't you recruit them quickly?"
"Liu Zhe, a common man, has met your Excellency."
"Three Cao Min Wang, please pay homage to your lord."
The two of them dragged their aching bodies, bowed respectfully, and said in unison: "Sir, I just went to pay homage to your glory, why should I stop you?"
Seeing that they refused to admit it, Jiang Yang sneered and said: "Confronting the imperial official! Do you two know how much the punishment will be increased?"
The two people's eyes were cloudy, obviously they didn't understand. They looked at each other and then shook their heads.
Jiang Yang continued: "He deserves to be punished by death. His descendants will always be demoted to humble slaves and will never be admitted."
In fact, this was Jiang Yang's boast. He had never studied Tang Law himself, but he just said it to scare these people who didn't understand.
Seeing the shocked look in their eyes, Jiang Yang knew that it was time for him to step forward and perform the PUA technique, so he softened his tone and said: "I know that you two are not the masterminds. If the person behind the scenes is exposed, I will guarantee that you two are not guilty.
how?"
When the two heard this, there was a hint of joy in their eyes, but when they heard the word "chief", their eyes were full of fear, and the timid Liu Zhe actually shuddered.
Having a bad premonition, Jiang Yang frowned but did not speak.
I heard Wang San say hurriedly: "Your Majesty, you are wrong. We really went to pay homage to you. Your Majesty must have misunderstood."
No matter how Jiang Yang asked after that, both of them kept saying the same thing.
The person behind the scenes? Sir, you must be suffering from paranoia. You are thinking too much!
Seeing that they wouldn't let go no matter what he asked, Jiang Yang was so angry that he wanted to torture him. He found that there was no one except Wen Guan and Chen Zhiyong, so he had to throw them into the side room just now.
Naturally, I gave him a few mouthfuls of leftover food, otherwise it wouldn't be good if he lost his life.
Seeing that they continued to go back to keep company with the rats and ants, Jiang Yang looked at the evil servant who had just been brought in.
After questioning, I learned that this man's name was Ding Bo, and he was from this village.
But when Jiang Yang asked him about the person behind the scenes, the person also shut up tightly. Why are they disrupting disaster relief? I don't know!
Is it a crime for me to exchange steamed buns for clothes? Is there a problem for me, an ordinary person, to eat porridge? Is it not okay for me to eat bran because I’m not used to it?
What law have I broken?
When Jiang Yang heard these remarks, he was very angry and shameless. I have to teach you a lesson today.
"Chen Zhiyong! Hit him with ten big blows and see if it's the blow or his mouth that's tough." Jiang Yang threw the token to the ground fiercely.
Force is not the best way to solve the problem, but it may be the most effective way.
But at this moment, a voice sounded outside the hall.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute! Sir, wait a minute!" Wang Jianchuan ran in, glanced at Ding Bo in the hall, and after a brief eye contact, he quickly said to Jiang Yang: "My lord, this is not a good fight.
.”
Jiang Yang raised his hand to signal Chen Zhiyong not to take action yet. He stared at Wang Jianchuan with stern eyes and said, "Why can't we fight? This person is obstructing disaster relief, so we shouldn't fight?"
Wang Jianchuan rolled his eyes and said quickly: "Of course you should be beaten if you obstruct disaster relief!"
"That's not right."
Just as Jiang Yang finished speaking, he heard Wang Jianchuan say: "But how could this person do anything to stop him? May I ask, sir, did this person steal food and grass? Or did he smash, smash, loot and burn?"
Jiang Yang remained silent and said, "This person is inciting the people and accusing the county government of not providing white grain."
"I dare to ask, sir, isn't this the truth? When did telling the truth become a crime? The emperor's grace is great, but the emperor asks everyone to tell the truth. Sir, you should think twice." Wang Jianchuan has a clever mouth and can speak well.
They can all be said to be alive.
Jiang Yang suddenly thought why he wanted to tell him?
He simply smiled and said: "That's what you said. I really don't have any evidence now, but I will naturally have evidence after I check it out."
"This is not a good fight. If word spreads, sir, that you are calling it a "subdued beating", not to mention that the people in the county will be dissatisfied, some of the higher-ups will also be dissatisfied." Wang Jianchuan said with a smile.
It's just that these words contained too many threats.
Jiang Yang naturally heard this and asked: "In your opinion, what should we do?"
"A small suggestion, it's better to let him go. One more thing is worse than one less thing. The worst is to tell him not to go to the porridge shop in the future. Do you think it's feasible, sir?" Wang Jianchuan added with a smile: "My lord, you must know that you can serve as an official for one term. , it’s famous.”
Jiang Yang was furious. Hearing these slowly threatening words, the young man was so angry that he wanted to tell Wang Jianchuan that otherwise you would be the county magistrate.
Jiang Yang calmed down after a while, so doesn't this also mean that there is someone with ulterior motives behind the scenes?
Unable to lose control, Jiang Yang looked at Wang Jianchuan and understood that this was a needle inserted into his own body.
In this case, let's play slowly.
Jiang Yang yawned and said to Wang Jianchuan: "You are right, but according to the law, if I suspect them of causing rebellion, I will detain them for two days."
"Um..." Wang Jianchuan thought for a while, it was just a temporary detention anyway, and there was no big problem, so he started praising Jiang Yang readily.
Jiang Yang remained calm after hearing the words that were against his will. He asked someone to bring over all the records of the county government, and sat in the lobby to read them slowly.
If you don’t look at it, you will be shocked.
Don't look at the poor people in Xiami County, but there are many rich people here.
Chen, Zhu, Liu and Wang are the four great families.
Each family is not only prosperous, but also covers thousands of acres. The money they earn will be more than they can spend in a lifetime.
