It turned out that Zhang Qing not only checked whether Old Man Chen's son was really injured or fake, but also helped him treat the wound and prescribed a prescription, which is why he came over after such a long time. Liu Xin's performance towards Zhang Qing
Very satisfied, he encouraged him and asked him to retreat. At this time, only Liu Xin, Ju Shou, Xu Huang, Dian Wei and other close associates were left in the hall. Since we are all our own people, there is no need to ask for any ideas.
Hidden and tucked away.
Jushou held up his hands and said: "My lord, I would like to send someone to investigate thoroughly. We can start from the murderer who injured Old Man Chen's son and Kuai Xiu's escaped wife. We must find out the conspiracy behind the relationship between the lord and the Kuai family."
Black hand!"
The conspiracy of these people is to sow discord between Liu Xin and the Kuai family. This is what Liu Xin told Jushu about their speculation about the whole matter. But Liu Xin had a deeper idea that he did not tell them, that is, these people were so instigating
The real purpose of Liu Xin's relationship with the Kuai family was to weaken the support Liu Xin might gain, especially the support for Liu Xin's proclaimed emperor.
In fact, it was all Jushou's fault. In order for Liu Xin to successfully proclaim himself emperor, they started preparations very early. Too many people and things were involved, so it was impossible for the news to be leak-proof. The two camps of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao did not agree.
He said that even in places where Liu Xin rules, since there are people who support Liu Xin's proclaiming the emperor, there will be people who oppose Liu Xin's proclaiming the emperor. Now that these people who oppose Liu Xin's proclaiming the emperor have received the news, they must find ways to prevent this from happening.
, at worst it will cause trouble for Liu Xin.
Liu Xin had already discussed with Ma Yun that he would not appear at the ceremony carefully prepared by Ju Shou, Xu Huang and others, but would declare himself the emperor on another special occasion. No matter how carefully prepared those people were
, Liu Xin will not leave them a chance to perform.
However, Jushou had been a county magistrate and had been in charge of the Phantom Secret Agent for many years. He was very keen to grasp two important clues in this case. If these two clues could be broken through, it would indeed be possible to find out the mastermind behind the scenes. But Liu
Xin did not intend to delve further into this issue. He waved his hand and said: "This incident happened in Xinye, so let Kuai Xiu perform his duties well."
As soon as this sentence was said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Because this sentence had already shown Liu Xin's attitude, he would pardon Kuai Xiu for the crimes he committed.
Seeing everyone's relieved expressions, Liu Xin became alert. Kuai Xiu represented not only the Kuai family, nor just the nobles in Jingzhou, he also represented the entire meritorious class. Everyone has selfish motives. These people support Liu Xin in conquering the country.
The civil and military officials may have just started out of respect for Liu Xin, but as time went by, they would always think of honoring their ancestors and living a luxurious life. Finally, they would also think of planning a life for their children.
A good future.
It has to be said that the person who planned this matter is indeed very clever. The story of birds disappearing and bows hiding, rabbits dying and dogs cooking is not just a legend, it has happened many times in previous history. If Liu Xin was so powerful this time because of Kuai Xiu,
Punishing Kuai Xiu for robbing civilian girls will most likely chill the hearts of other civil and military heroes. At that time, it will be equivalent to cutting off Liu Xin's right and left arm.
Fortunately, Liu Xin discovered their conspiracy in time, and fortunately Kuai Xiu did not use force on Chen Yuniang, otherwise this matter would be really difficult to solve.
Just when Liu Xin thought that her arrangement was flawless, Ju Shou said, "I am going to report this to my lord, but my subordinates think it is inappropriate."
Liu Xin was surprised and said: "What's wrong with the marriage?"
Jushou stroked his beard and said: "Back to my lord, it's not that my subordinates don't believe in Kuai Xiu's ability, nor are they unwilling to give him a chance to practice this time, but they feel that if he handles this case, no matter what the outcome is, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince that person."
A few people are satisfied."
Liu Xin couldn't help but take a second look at Ju Shou. Wasn't this old gentleman talking about the recusal system of later generations? Kuai Xiu was both a party and an interested party in this case, so he naturally had to avoid it. However, Liu Xin didn't understand at all.
He had no intention of actually asking Kuai Xiu to investigate this case, because Liu Xin understood that with Kuai Xiu's ability, he would definitely not be able to find out the results, but Liu Xin had to show her attitude and pardon Kuai Xiu for robbing a civilian girl.
In fact, in this case, Kuai Xiu was not subjectively at fault, and he himself was very likely a victim. The most important thing is that he did not harm Chen Yuniang. It was after seeing this that Liu Xin decided to pardon Kuai Xiu, not because
He is Kuai Liang's son. Of course, Liu Xin doesn't mind being misunderstood by Ju Shou and others, because he is a sentimental person and will never do anything to make a fool of himself.
Faced with Ju Shou's doubts, Liu Xin smiled and said: "My lord, what will happen if Old Chen's family does not object to Kuai Xiu coming to investigate the case thoroughly?"
Jushou was surprised and said: "My lord, I'm afraid this is impossible."
"It all depends on people. If you don't give it a try, how can you know it's impossible?" Liu Xin waved her hand gently and said, "Bring Kuai Xiu and Old Chen's family together."
When she came to the lobby of the Xinye County Government Office again, Chen Yuniang had changed into a girl's outfit. She had a beautiful appearance and a slim figure. She could be regarded as a little beauty, but her face was as red as a ripe apple. She was originally a future beauty.
The married girl was mistaken for the county magistrate's wife, so she was forced to change into a woman's clothes. Today, Zhang Jie checked her body again. She was so ashamed that it would be strange not to blush.
Kuai Xiu and Old Man Chen were not much better, their faces were equally ugly.
After learning that Chen Yuniang was still intact, Kuai Xiu's heart sank. This was enough to prove that Chen Yuniang and his wife Fei were not the same person at all, and it was really a certainty that he raped a common girl.
Old man Chen was even dumbfounded. As the saying goes, if you sit behind closed doors, disaster will come from the sky. The Chen family's elders and young children are the biggest victims. Who would have thought that Chen Yuniang and the county magistrate's wife just look a little alike, and they would cause such trouble.
It was a big disaster. The son was injured and bedridden, and the granddaughter was also divorced from the marriage. What is even more annoying is that the granddaughter is clearly intact, but her reputation has been ruined.
But Liu Xin said unhurriedly: "Everyone, the matter is now clear. Six days ago, Fei, the wife of Xinye County Magistrate Kuai Xiu, suddenly ran away from home. Kuai Xiu took several government officials to the streets to look for her, and accidentally encountered her.
He fell in love with Chen Yuniang who was out shopping. Coincidentally, Chen Yuniang looked exactly like Fei, so Kuai Xiu mistook Chen Yuniang for Fei who had run away from home, and took her back to the county government office and put her under house arrest in the back office.
After learning that his daughter had been kidnapped by the government officials, Chen Yuniang’s father, the eldest son of Mr. Chen, took Chen Yuniang’s younger brother to the county government office to demand an explanation. As a result, they were beaten by a group of unidentified people pretending to be government officials at the entrance of the alley.
Injury. Chen Yuniang was trapped in the county government office for a total of six days, but Kuai Xiu did not defile her body. This is all the information about this case that can be understood so far. Do you have any objections?"
The facts of the case were indeed unbelievable, but the facts were true. Everyone shook their heads and had no objection. Liu Xin nodded and said: "Kuaixiu, you robbed a civilian girl. The facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive. You should be executed according to the law! Liu thinks you are
It was an unintentional mistake, and maybe you were framed by an adulterer, so I grant you the right to make meritorious deeds."
After hearing the first few sentences, Kuai Xiu thought that he would definitely die. Suddenly he heard that he was promised to take responsibility for his crime, and he felt relieved. He seemed to collapse and fell limply to the ground. After a while, he struggled up and kowtowed: "I would like to obey my lord's orders."
.”
Although there are many people in the lobby, no one laughs at Kuai Xiu. Maybe they have experienced hundreds of battles and killed countless people, but if they encounter such a close call, no one can guarantee that their performance will be better than Kuai Xiu, at least
Kuai Xiu didn't cry loudly, nor did she pee her pants on the spot.
Liu Xin nodded and said: "You need to do two things now. One is to find out who the murderer who injured Chen Yuniang's father is. The other is to find out where your wife Fei fled to. Liu also
I don’t set a deadline for you, when will you find out, and when will you report to Liu? Can you do it? "
Kuai Xiu said loudly: "I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
The investigation without any time limit seems simple. If you can't find anything in one day, you can investigate it for two days. If you can't find it in two days, you can investigate it for three days. But Liu Xin also said before that he wanted Kuai Xiu to be guilty and meritorious. In other words, as long as Kuai Xiu
If Xiu can't figure out the case in one day, he is guilty. If Kuai Xiu still wants to make progress and honor his ancestors, he must go all out to investigate this case. This is not only a spur to Kuai Xiu, but also a good experience.
Chance.
"Well, please step aside." Liu Xin waved her hand, then turned to Old Man Chen and said, "Old Man Chen, you are blocking the road today mainly because of two things. One is that his son was injured, and the other is that his granddaughter was injured.
Someone snatched it away. Now it has been found that your son’s injury has nothing to do with the county magistrate Kuai Xiu. Now, Liu has asked someone to treat your son’s wound, and all the expenses will be borne by the government. In addition, Liu will give you another gift
Do you have any objection to fifty taels of silver being used to recuperate from missed work?"
Although Old Chen's family has a large population, their annual expenses do not exceed three taels of silver. Liu Xin immediately rewarded him with fifty taels of silver. Even if Old Man Chen and his son were bedridden from now on, they would not be able to use this much money.
The family is extremely grateful.
A personal guard had already brought a lacquer plate, which contained ten fine silver ingots, five taels each. This is Liu Xin's attentiveness. Old Chen and his family are just ordinary people. If they were given a large ingot of fifty taels,
, even if they are willing to use it, the quality of the pile of broken silver found by others will definitely be greatly affected. How can it be convenient to directly give them five taels and one ingot of small silver.
Liu Xin watched Old Man Chen accept the money, and then said: "As for your granddaughter, she is back now, and she is unharmed. She is well fed and housed in the county government, and there are still people taking care of her. She must have been involved in this matter.
Come on, don’t you have any objections to Magistrate Kuai?”
Old Chen raised his head and glanced at Liu Xin, then quickly lowered his head and sighed softly.
