Chapter 119: Mountains and Waters, No Way Out (Part I)

Before the county government sent someone to Chenjiaao to inquire again, the Chen clan had already made trouble with the county government again, and this time the momentum was greater than before. Dozens of people surnamed Chen helped the old and the young to gather outside the county yamen outside the gate www.biquge.info of the county yamen, not only shouting injustice, accusing the yamen of injustice, but also sounding the drum of injustice again.

There are also some Chen clansmen who are even more emboldened and want to break into the yamen to cry out for grievances. Fortunately, several officials guarding the gate hurriedly stepped forward to block them, blocking their way. At the same time, some people hurried into the interior to report and see how the adults reacted.

Soon, hundreds of people gathered in front of the yamen to watch the excitement, and the number of people was still accumulating, pointing and discussing the situation in front of them:

"What's going on? After a few days, someone actually complained again, when did our Zhuji County become so unpeaceful? "This is the people who have just arrived here and have not yet figured out the situation asking for news.

Immediately, a person who seemed to know very well what was going on replied: "You don't know yet, in fact, it is those people who came to sue last time." ”

"Huh? What's going on? Could there be any other murderer? I remember that day, didn't the county government bring the suspect in for interrogation? ”

"I heard them shouting, saying that it was Yang County's order to shield the previous suspect, insisting that the deceased was killed by his own people, and he wanted to release the previous suspect. The people of the Chen clan thought it was unfair and could not accept this result, so they came to the county yamen again to complain and petition. ”

"How can there be such a thing? Why did Yang County order to shield a suspect? ”

"They just said that it was because the suspect had a relationship with the brother of the county magistrate, so they thought of using this method to find another so-called murderer. It's really unreasonable! ”

Similar statements spread quickly among the crowd, and the people easily believed that this was the truth, and some of the impatient ones also crowded to the front, along with those Chen clansmen shouting that the county government was unfair in judging the case. For a while, the crowd at the gate of the county government was excited, and the few officials blocking the door were a little overwhelmed.

And the few people who spread these rumors everywhere have quietly withdrawn from the crowd at this moment......

Just as the situation was about to get out of control, a green-robed official calmly walked out of the door. Seeing that some people were constantly squeezing up, he didn't panic, but just bowed to the people in front of him before saying loudly: "Fathers and elders of Zhuji County, please listen to this official's words." Don't make any more noise, please listen to what the official has to say first! ”

After he shouted a few words, the noise at the entrance of the yamen gradually subsided, and everyone looked at him to see what he could say. Many people know this person, he is the county Yadian Shi Xuanchuang.

After Xuan Chuang saluted again, he said loudly: "Fathers and elders, the original official of Chen's visit to our county government today has all known. Although the official has limited knowledge of this murder, and he can't believe that the county lord really has the intention of shielding the murderer, this official also asks you to believe me, this murder will definitely be investigated to the end. No matter who the murderer is or who he has to do with him, this official must bring him to justice! ”

Although these words did not directly identify Yang Chen and them as harboring the murderer, the meaning of the words was already obvious. But the people have been instigated at this moment, and they are also bent on believing that Yang Chen has a problem, and as soon as they heard his words, they were even more useful, so they shouted one after another: "Please also ask Xuandian History to be the master of the people, you must not let the real murderers go unpunished, and let the innocent die in vain!" ”

"This official will not disappoint your fathers!" Xuan Chuang solemnly arched his hand and said: "As an official in Zhuji County, you should be the master for you and other people!" Such a statement once again provoked the cheers of the people.

Seeing that he had enough of the limelight and grasped the initiative, Xuan Chuang looked at the Chen clan in front of him: "Can you trust the government, do you believe that this official can give you a clean slate?" ”

Chen Bo's eldest son, Chen An, who was the leader, immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "The government is naturally fair, and we and other grass people are also willing to believe in adults, but as far as we know, it is the county magistrate who is trying this case, and the adults are ......."

"This official has just said, this time I will definitely give you a justice and truth, no matter who is the murderer, what does he have to do with anyone, it can't prevent this official from bringing him to justice, you just have to rest assured." Xuan Chuang said, took a step forward, and helped Chen An, who was still kneeling on the ground, up.

"In that case, then the grass people and others will wait for the adult's judgment for the time being!" Chen An got up, and when the two of them met, they both showed knowing smiles.

Not far from the gate of the county government, the two Yang brothers looked at everything outside with solemn faces, and they knew that at this moment, they would be passive. I really didn't expect that Xuan Chuang would have such a trick.

In fact, when the drums sounded outside, Yang Chen wanted to come forward to see what was going on. But when he came out of the second hall, someone reported that it was the Chen clan who accused him of shielding acquaintances in this county order, and the punishment was unfair. This made Yang Chen hesitate, not knowing whether he should come forward to appease the people outside.

And in this hesitation, he was preempted by the prepared Xuanchuang. Just looking at his performance, Yang Chen could guess that all of this was inseparable from the history of Xuandian, and there was even an eighty percent possibility that everything was secretly planned and instructed by Xuan Chuang, including the Chen clansmen who gathered at the gate of the county government again to shout grievances.

But even if you know this, what can you do, now the initiative has changed hands again and has come to Xuanchuang. Just when the two brothers were in a bit of a dilemma and didn't know what to do, Xuan Chuang had already sent the gathered people, turned around and walked back, and was taking a look at them.

As soon as he saw the gloomy and embarrassed faces of the two of them, Xuan Chuang only felt that his heart was at ease, and he unconsciously brought a little smile on his face. But soon, he straightened his face again, and arched his hand towards Yang Chen with a worried look: "I've seen Lord County." I think the adults have seen what happened just now, but this case is not easy to handle. Xia Guan said before that this case is widely implicated and must be dealt with carefully, so adults know that things are difficult now, right? ”

"It's hard to do anything, it just depends on whether anyone gets in the way. I think today's events happened because someone was behind them. Yang Zhen couldn't help but sneer.

Seeing him speak like this, Xuan Chuang was very unhappy and scolded: "Yang Zhen, what do you mean by this? If it weren't for you, would this case be the way it is? As far as this official knows, it is because the Chen clan knows about your friendship with the suspect Cai Yingyang that they will do what you do today. The official has not asked you about your sin, but you are good, but you have beaten a rake, how can this be true! ”

After a few words of reprimand, Xuan Chuang no longer paid attention to Yang Zhen, but looked at Yang Chen: "County Zun, now that things have come to this point, do you have any way to deal with it?" ”

Yang Chen stared at Xuanchuang for a long time before he said in a sullen voice: "This official can't think of an idea for a while, I don't know if there is any good way to do it in Xuandian History?" ”

"This ...... Although the lower officials persuaded those people away for a while, the case was not closed for a day, and the murderer was not convicted for a day, so he was afraid that the same thing would happen again. I don't think you want the people to complain to the prefect because they are dissatisfied. Xuan Chuang's words were obviously threatening, and he also moved out of Yang Chen's top boss, the Shaoxing Prefect.

Yang Chen's face became more and more gloomy: "Xuandian History, do you mean that you should let the official quickly find out the murderer, or should you let the official determine that Cai Yingyang is the murderer?" ”

"You've got you covered." Xuan Chuang smiled again as he spoke, and arched his hand: "But there is one thing that the lower officials still need to remind the adults, this matter has already made a big fuss, if you don't want to cause more trouble, please also ask the adults to finalize the case as soon as possible." Saying this, it seemed to think of something, and said with a smile: "Also, whether adults believe it or not, Chen Hong is definitely not a murderer, and the officials are still sure of this." ”

Yang Zhen was stunned when he heard this, and just wanted to ask him how he dared to assert this, but Xuan Chuang had already turned around and walked towards the public office in the second hall, and did not say anything more to them, this attitude was really too arrogant.

But people have the upper hand at this time, so they have the qualifications to be arrogant. The two brothers of the Yang family could only watch him leave proudly, and their faces were gloomy. They are well aware that the current situation is extremely unfavorable for them.

Yang Zhen looked at Xuan Chuang's back as he disappeared around the corner, and slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity: "It's really unpleasant to retribution." I remember that in Wuchang City before, I used this method of suing officials to pull Hu Lin and other local officials off the horse. Unexpectedly, in just over half a year, the same trick was used on your eldest brother. ”

Yang Chen also smiled bitterly when he heard this, and now there were only two choices in front of them. Either you can continue to act according to your own heart and find out the real murderer in this case. In this way, he can naturally rely on this matter to gain a foothold in the county government, and even hit the arrogance of Xuanchuang. But it is not easy to do this, whether it is from the people's opinions, opinions, or obstruction from within the yamen, it may make them unable to investigate the case normally, even with the help of Wei Yong, it can't change much.

And once the case continues to drag on, Xuan Chuang will take the opportunity to cause more incidents, and even alarm the Shaoxing Mansion. You must know that behind Xuanchuang is the Xuan family, which has a lot of power in Zhuji, presumably with their status, they will inevitably have backers in Shaoxing Mansion. In this way, Yang Chen, the county commander, is in a difficult situation at home and abroad, and it will be difficult to protect himself under the attack from top to bottom, even if he does not lose his position, he will be completely suppressed by Xuanchuang.

As for the alternative, compromise is to compromise. followed the path pointed out by Xuanchuang, and designated Cai Yingyang, who they found innocent, as the murderer. This is difficult for Yang Zhen to accept, after all, he had a relationship with Cai Yingyang, and he really didn't want to let him die innocently like this. How could Yang Chen hope to do this.

Because he knows very well that once Cai Yingyang is really convicted, it symbolizes that he, the county magistrate, is no longer able to control this case. And this is an opportunity that he has won with great difficulty, once he fails, what will the people in the yamen think of him? I am afraid that his prestige as the magistrate of the county will be lost, and if he thinks about any official affairs in the future, no one may be able to obey the order.

For now, whatever choice they make, it will only lead to worse consequences, a dilemma!
