Just when Wei Xianwu spoke indifferently, in the Governor's Mansion, Governor Dong, who had scolded Lian Zhanshan before, was so angry that he almost broke the Governor's seal.
The person responsible for the final review of the official documents of arrest and announcement was Jiang Wenhe of Shangshu Department.
This old civil servant did nothing and obeyed his orders. However, today he unexpectedly reported that he had a serious illness and urgently sought medical treatment.
Moreover, this claim of illness came only after Lin Xi’s official announcement was approved.
This old civil servant, instead of deliberately delaying time, completed the review of Lin Xi's official documents as quickly as possible, and then immediately claimed to be ill and evaded it. Even Governor Dong and others avoided seeing him.
…
Just when Wei Xianwu spoke indifferently and called Lin Xi a criminal, some people who had hesitated and retreated were driven by unknown emotions and poured into the streets again regardless of the real death threat.
At this moment, a skinny old man wearing yellow coarse cloth with many black age spots on his face and a boy in Tsing Yi carrying a book box ignored the surging public anger and were ready to shoot arrows at any time.
The Yunqin troops who launched the charge came to the official announcement document that Lin Xi had just posted and read it slowly and carefully.
The clothes of the old man and the boy in green were soaked by the rain, and the front was more wet than the back, but the back and hem of the clothes were splashed with mud.
At this moment, Lin Xi did not notice the old man and the book boy in green.
Facing the businesslike voice of Wei Xianwu who arrested the criminal, he just smiled faintly and said: "Unknown crime, but I can go with you."
He put away his umbrella, walked in the drizzle, walked to Wang Buyi, turned around and said: "Don't worry, I will be fine, and if you die, besides putting more burden on him,
Apart from the sin, it will not help anything and is simply not worth it.”
After a slight pause, Lin Xi sneered mercilessly: "Since he dares to do this, he is not afraid of taking a few more lives, and he has no regard for his future future. And if he has the intention of resisting, he might just find an excuse to do so.
Kill me on the spot."
"Master Xiaolin!"
A cry of sorrow.
"Let's go, let's go." Lin Xi nodded and saluted around him, his green sleeves were wet from the light rain, and he said seriously: "It really shouldn't be anything."
From behind, Mr. Zhang came over with some salutes. Inside were Lin Xi's two wooden boxes. Behind him, Du Weiqing and other detectives were escorting Xu Chengfeng, Gao Zhe and other people involved in the case.
Seeing Lin Xi's luggage, and then seeing the green-shirted young man standing in the rain with a smile, not afraid of the cavalry in front of him, I thought that such a good official who would never bow his head for the sake of purity here was destined to be taken as a prisoner today.
As he walked away, the mournful sounds all around suddenly became louder.
"Master Lin."
A dark-faced young man with a faint fishy smell walked out of the mournful crowd, bowed to Lin Xi unusually solemnly, and said softly: "I, Xu Sheng, admire you."
Lin Xi patted the young man who managed the fish market on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Then if you can catch any more steel-headed pike in the future, sell them to me. By the way, the ones in front of my small building
There is also a Laojiang Tuan and a Iron-headed Pike in the water tank. Please help me take care of them when you have time."
Xu Sheng bowed again and said nothing.
"Let's go."
Lin Xi raised her head slightly and walked towards Wei Xianwu. She looked at the cold soldier and said, "Your desperation is in the wrong place... just like I can complete the official announcement faster than you think, and then...
Come down, I’m afraid I’ll still disappoint you.”
"There will be no more." Wei Xianwu bowed slightly again, looked coldly at Lin Xi and Mr. Zhang behind Lin Xi, and still said in a voice that only Lin Xi and him could hear: "You have no chance to let me do it again.
disappointment."
Thinking of the officer's words "please wait" when he left last time, Lin Xi's lips showed a proud smile. He looked at Wei Xianwu and said word by word: "Then please wait."
Watch and see.”
…
Yunqin Cavalry was about to turn around, but Lin Xi had already started to move.
The simple old woman knelt down again, her forehead touching the ground.
"etc!"
But at this moment, an old and powerful voice sounded.
At this time, the people present finally noticed the skinny old man with an unattractive face and black age spots and the book boy in Tsing Yi.
It was still raining, but the sky was still bright.
But this skinny old man did not hold an umbrella, but instead held a lit lantern.
Lin Xi stopped in some astonishment. He did not recognize this old man. He could tell that this skinny old man's steps were sloppy and he was probably not a practitioner. However, this old man had a different demeanor from ordinary people.
Wei Xianwu's brows were deeply furrowed into a Sichuan shape. He could also see that this old man was not an ordinary person, and he was good at fighting in battle. Today's confrontation with these ordinary people had already made him irritable and unspeakable.
"You don't have to leave Donggang Town. Unless I die today, no one can take you away."
The old man holding the lantern squinted his eyes. Although he was old, he walked with long strides. He walked to Lin Xi's side and said this to Lin Xi seriously.
Then, he stood in front of Lin Xi, looked at Wei Xianwu, and said, "If you want to take him away, you have to step over my body."
Amidst the original sorrow and some calm words from Lin Xi, Wei Xianwu himself was already irritable and unspeakable. Moreover, by coming here, he had put his own life, death and future aside. When he heard the old man's words, he felt a surge of emotion.
An unusually cold murderous intention suddenly rippled from his chest to his whole body, "What, do you really think I don't dare to kill someone?"
This sentence did not make the old man afraid in the slightest, but instead made him extremely angry. His extremely angry voice shook the surrounding area: "When I heard about this case before, I felt that the surroundings of Donggang Town were really dark, but I didn't expect that.
, to be so dark, with such a crime, and to dare to arrest meritorious officials. Three years ago, I thought Zhili Ling was already dark enough, but I didn’t expect that this small Donggang town was so dark that there was no light at all, and lanterns were needed.
It’s so bad! Three years ago, the governor of Shanyin didn’t dare to kill me, but I want to see if you, a beast, dare to kill me today!”
Zhili Mausoleum... Governor of Shanin... the lantern in the old man's hand... Wei Xianwu's murderous intention suddenly turned into an icy chill, making his own hands and feet colder than the armor on his body. He thought of the identity of this old man,
His body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Is this Mr. Jiang?... Mr. Jiang who overthrew the governor of Shanin Province because he knew about the major house invasion case in Liling?!"
The old man's angry and stern voice echoed in the streets and alleys of Donggang Town. Some people began to guess the identity of the old man, and there were waves of exclamations.
Three years ago, the Governor of Lilingling, the magistrate of Shanin Province, was convicted of a serious crime and occupied the ancestral home of a wealthy businessman. Several officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs complained and were imprisoned. At that time, it was only Jiang Rui, an official of the sixth grade of the Department of Justice, who started the crime.
, and went to the province to sue Jiang Rui, but Zhou Kang'an, the governor of Shanyin Province, and the governor of Zhililingling, who were family friends, used the same method to suppress Jiang Rui. There was insufficient evidence to accuse Jiang Rui, and he was sentenced to death with a cane.
On the second day of his execution, Jiang Rui cut off the rotten flesh on his legs with a knife, and took to the streets with a lantern, shouting that it was dark.
The blood dripping with blood shocked countless officials, which aroused the anger of many officials, and finally brought down the governor of Shanyin Province.
Among the officials of Yun and Qin, there are naturally many people who are strong and strong.
Because of his integrity, Jiang Rui was promoted two levels in three years, and was promoted to the fifth rank.
The name of this official position in Shizhong was probably proposed by Dean Zhang, who was not very familiar with history and officialdom. There were eight departments. Not only was he in charge of the regulations and inspections of each department, but he could also go directly to the emperor to supervise other departments.
, inspecting violations and impeaching officials in various departments, so they are generally called lecturing officials. Just because they can directly make suggestions to the emperor, this is a position in the matter, although there is no military commander, in the eyes of all officials
The real power is extremely heavy, even if he only has an official rank of fifth grade, it makes the officials above him very afraid.
Great attention was paid to the assessment during the selection of this official position, and officials who were extremely clear and upright were selected. Yun Qin's laws also clearly protected these officials who had no military power and could only rely on their words to impeach.
Only saints can judge, and those who violate the rules will be punished by the nine tribes.
That is to say, only the current emperor can convict this official. If others did not wait for the emperor's final judgment and privately convicted Yan Guan, or assassinated Yan Guan, it would be a major crime that would implicate the Nine Clans.
Although the Yunqin Law is strict, it should be influenced by many subjective factors of Dean Zhang, so there are very few crimes associated with it. For some very bad crimes, the most is basically execution in a hurry, and the family members are exiled and serve in the army. This crime was convicted
To be implicated in a major crime in order to punish the nine tribes shows that at least one of the late Emperor Yun Qin or Dean Zhang must have attached great importance to this official position and the person who can hold this official position.
…
Wei Xianwu can disregard his own life and death, but implicating the nine clans is simply unbearable for him.
He didn't dare to kill, and he also knew that he didn't dare to kill, and it was impossible to take Lin Xi away today... so his body was trembling more and more violently.
Jiang Rui, who knew that the Liling case was very famous in Yunqin and spread widely, did not say his name, but the boy in green clothes beside him took out the jade official seal, indicating his unmistakable identity.
"Just a small general of the Three Towns Company can actually allow his son to do such a thing!"
"They actually ignored the voice of the people and used the power of the military when the facts of the case were clear... Are the officials in the Department of Justice, the Department of Personnel, and the Military Supervision Department in the three towns all dung-diggers!"
Jiang Rui's angry voice continued.
Lin Xi was slightly dumbfounded by this old man who could defeat even Wang Buping.
This was not in his plan, but he knew the authority given by each department to Shizhong, and he knew that he really did not have to leave Donggang Town now. Many officials here would probably be severely impeached by Jiang Rui.
Ichiban.
Looking at Wei Xianwu, whose face was pale and his body was shaking due to various emotions such as anger, fear, and helplessness. Lin Xi, who always liked to beat up some annoying people, making them more uncomfortable, couldn't help but wink at Wei Xianwu.
He blinked and chuckled: "I just asked you to watch it, but I didn't expect you to see it so soon."
