Chapter 068: Solve the murder case within a limited time

Song Wen, crazy!

In the public court, all the officials looked at each other, good guy, this was good just now, why do you say that you are crazy if you are crazy?

Until now, Hu Zeyi's face was still green, obviously by Song Wen's words just now, "Hu Zeyi, you old dog, you don't have to run!" "I'm scared.

Who is Song Wen? That is his Hu Zeyi's number one confidant and right-hand man in the county government, who has followed him for many years, and it was he who personally supported and promoted him to the position of Hu Cao official. It's good now, this guy is crazy, crazy, and actually said something that has been hidden in his heart for a long time, and he wants to kill himself!!

If it weren't for his appreciation, reuse and promotion over the years, Song Wen would still be a poor and sour man with a poor life, where would he have the scenery in Qingyuan County for so many years?

Discouragement, frustration, and a little disappointment filled Hu Zeyi's heart like a haze.

Although Chen Ziang was accustomed to seeing this kind of revenge in Chang'an, he still said with relief: "Hu County Order, Song Wenneng is so ungrateful to his wife who has been with him for 30 years, let alone you?" It's good that this kind of villain discovers his true face earlier, so that he won't be deceived by him in the future and suffer a big loss! ”

Cui Geng saw Hu Zeyi's current appearance, and he was relieved in his heart, and pretended to be very sympathetic, and said: "What Chen Xiancheng said is very true, don't be sad about the county lord." It's like I'm blind and confused by ghosts. Fortunately, you didn't suffer any big losses. Besides, Song Wen has contributed to you a lot over the years, and the black pot and pot have also carried a lot for you. It's good to be crazy, who will believe what a madman says in the future? The county lord sit back and relax~~"

Why does this sound so awkward?

Chen Ziang's first reaction was that County Lieutenant Cui didn't seem to be comforting people, but a bit of a run and sarcasm.

Sure enough, Hu Zeyi's green face reappeared with anger, and he said angrily: "Hmph! Lieutenant Cui is very proud, what's the matter? Song Wen is crazy and wants to kill this official, aren't you very happy? ”

"How can it? What kind of nonsense is the county lord talking about? Cui Geng's eyebrows flew, his waist was pulled out, and he puffed up his chest and said, "Let him move and try it?" It's really against him, dare to kill our county lord? As long as you speak now, the lower officials will immediately arrest him and throw him directly into the southern prison, you have to kill him! ”

Hu Zeyi naturally knew that Cui Geng was talking about cool words, snorted, and sneered: "I really can't see that County Lieutenant Cui cares so much about this county!" ”

Chen Ziang saw that the county magistrate and the adjutant county lieutenant disregarded their identities, and the two of them were sarcastic and pinched each other like gangsters on the street, and couldn't help but sweat for a while, and said: "Ahem, County Lieutenant Cui, Song Wen is crazy, how can the words of a madman be taken seriously?" Zhangβ€”"

Hurriedly, Chen Ziang changed the topic and asked Zhang, who was still kneeling at the bottom of the hall: "Now that Song Wen is crazy, how can a madman run the family business?" The official will judge all the family property of the Song Mansion to you now, so that you can rely on your old age. If there is no problem, this official will ask Hu County to stamp the seal of the county official on the letter of releasing his wife, and officially sentence you two to reconcile! ”

"Thank you Chen Xiancheng and Cui Xianwei for being the masters of the people's women!"

Song Wen's sudden madness also brought a huge impact to Zhang's family, I saw her slightly raise her sleeves to wipe the tears on her cheeks, slowly got up, and replied: "He is crazy now, and he should not be able to take care of himself in daily life, the woman thought about it, and simply sold her business and brought Song Wen back to Lingnan to take care of it!" This crazy person, there is no one around to take care of the people's women, and they don't feel at ease and leave like this! ”

Not?

Several people were stunned for a while, and they could see that Zhang's husband and wife love for Song Wen was still there.

Chen Ziang hesitated a little embarrassed, and said: "But the two of you have been sentenced to reconcile and divorce, and this wife release book is ......."

"Oh, Chen Xiancheng, you can live together if you leave!"

Cui Geng felt that Zhang, a fat woman, valued love and righteousness, and when Song Wen was unkind, she didn't want a penny of family property, just to divorce her; Song Wen suddenly went crazy, but she let go of her hatred and was willing to take him back to her hometown in Lingnan to take care of him.

Such a woman is worthy of his Cui Geng's admiration, and even more worthy of his respect!

Immediately, he said to Chen Ziang: "Just let her take Song Wen away, at least husband and wife for decades, crazy is better than being unkind, right?" Besides, it's not a bad thing that Qingyuan County has one less madman. It also saves this madman from thinking about killing our Hu County Order every day, in case he really starts to go crazy one day, and sneaks over the wall into the county government house at night with a pig-killing knife, and takes advantage of Hu County's sleep to ......"

"Take it away, take it away!"

Hu Zeyi didn't wait for Cui Geng to finish speaking, Huo Ran got up and waved his hand to Zhang's again and again, and hurriedly shouted: "Zhang's, this official has agreed, agreed!" Hurry up and sell your business to take Song Wen away and go back to your hometown in Lingnan! ”

Good guy, Hu Zeyi was said by Cui Erlang, he was really empty-hearted!

Since Hu Zeyi also agreed, Chen Ziang thought about it and no longer insisted, so he simply fulfilled Zhang's family.

Then he stepped forward with Cui Geng to help Zhang's chubby body up, and then said: "Since you have such a deep affection for him, then this official will be fulfilled by you!" Okay, let's go back quickly, take care of Song Wen's guy, don't let him go crazy on the street, and do something messy! ”

"Thank you, my lords, and the women will retire!"

Zhang thanked him again, and then retired from the court and left the county office.

As soon as the Zhang family leaves, the farce of Song Wen and Zhang's divorce can be regarded as coming to an end.

However, Chen Ziang stopped Hu Zeyi when he was about to retire from the court, and asked: "The position of Hu Cao is related to the county's money and grain taxes, and now Song Wen is dismissed, and the post of Hu Cao official is vacant. Such a vital position cannot be idle for too long, I wonder what arrangements the county commander has? ”

Hu Zeyi was stunned for a moment, and said secretly, yes, the position of Hu Cao is very critical, when Song Wen was in the past, it was equivalent to controlling the money and grain taxes of the entire county government in real time, and now that Song Wen has been dismissed, his tentacles have been cut off. No, this position has to be filled with its own people.

But except for Song Wen, he hasn't cultivated a decent talent under his hands over the years! All of a sudden, there really wasn't much to use it.

He pondered and pondered, and finally thought of a candidate, nodded and said: "Ziang, what you remind is that the post of household Cao official is related to the county's money and grain taxes, and it can't be vacant for too long. In this way, the official recommended Uncle An to come to the new position of household Cao official! ”

"Uncle An?"

Chen Ziang sifted through the candidates in the county government, but he couldn't remember this person.

Cui Geng asked with a strange expression: "Lord County, you can't say that the old servant who is in charge of your three meals a day in the inner house, right?" ”

"Exactly!"

Hu Zeyi smiled and said: "Uncle An is an old man in the county, and he was my father's scholar back then, and he can be regarded as literate and hyphenated. And he is loyal and reliable, and he is very relieved to be appointed to the post of household official! ”

"Sneer......"

Cui Geng couldn't help but chuckle and teased: "Hu County Lingyou are really virtuous and do not avoid relatives, even your old servant is embarrassed to be the household official of this county." With some good intentions, Xia Guan really didn't know what to say. ”

"Cui Erlang, don't talk cool here. Are you satirizing nepotism in this county? Hu Zeyi saw Cui Geng's sarcasm again, and immediately became annoyed.

Cui Gengdao: "My county magistrate, alas, who is not good for you to promote, to nominate such an old man." Even if this old servant of your family is loyal and reliable, even if he is literate and hyphenated. But his old man is old this year? I guess it's almost seventy, right? And I've dealt with this Uncle An, not to mention his age, but also behind his ears...... Let such an old man who is nearly seventy years old and still have his ears behind his ears serve as a household official, this, this is too unreliable, right? ”、

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

As soon as Chen Ziang heard Cui Geng's introduction, he was instantly speechless for the candidate recommended by Hu Zeyi, and he couldn't agree with it!

Hu Zeyi saw Cui Geng's ruthless truth, his face was also panicked, and he scolded angrily: "Then what do you say is there any suitable candidate in the county government now?" ”

Cui Geng already had a candidate in his heart, and took the opportunity to say: "Then I recommend one?" ”

Chen Ziang hummed lightly and motioned for him to come, after all, he had just arrived in Qingyuan County, and he hadn't had time to do his homework, so he didn't know anything, and he was really blind to the candidates.

"Wait!"

Hu Zeyi seemed to have a good taste, and suddenly his eyes became shrewd, and he sneered: "Dare to love the county lieutenant Cui so hard to oppose the recommendation of this county, it turns out that there is already a candidate in his heart?" Hehe, Lieutenant Cui, Lieutenant Cui, how long have you been in office? first dismissed He Jingkui, the former Cao official, and let Yao Du serve as both Cao, and now he can't wait to install his own people to take over as Hu Cao's officials? ”

"Uh......"

Obviously, Hu Zeyi's sudden awakening was also a surprise to Cui Geng, but since it has come to this point, let's find out, and said: "The county commander is serious, the lower official is the county lieutenant of Qingyuan, and he judges the six Caos, so he naturally has the right to recommend suitable candidates to serve as the household Cao officials, isn't it?" ”

Hu Zeyi said: "Li'er is such a Li'er, but you haven't even solved the murder case in Yanggufang in the south of the city now, and the real murderer hasn't been arrested yet, where do you still have the heart to fight Hu Cao's side?" According to this official, you should solve your Yangfangfang murder case with peace of mind. ”

Cui Gengdao: "It is the responsibility of the lower officials to investigate the case and arrest the murderer, but Hu Cao is also under the unified judgment of the lower officials, and it is also the responsibility of the lower officials to recommend candidates for Hu Cao's officials." The prefectural magistrate is too worried! ”

Hu Zeyi teased: "This official is worried that County Lieutenant Cui will not be able to chew too much." ”

Cui Geng said: "Hey, Cui has no strengths, just the young man has good teeth, and Cui can gnaw on the bones no matter how difficult he is, so the candidates for the household officials don't bother the county lord." ”

"Hehe, it's really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers. Lieutenant Cui, since you said that you have the responsibility to investigate the case and arrest the murderer, and you boast of being so capable, then the official limits you to solve the murder case of Yanggufang within ten days, otherwise you will report the case to Feng Tingshi of the Quanzhou Mansion! ”

Hu Zeyi's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "If you can't catch the real murderer within ten days, hehe, then Feng Tingshi will also question your ability as the county lieutenant of Qingyuan!" ”

The implication is that if the case cannot be solved within ten days, he, the county lieutenant of Qingyuan, will also come to an end. This is obviously what Hu Zeyi is happy to see.

Damn it!

Cui Geng greeted all the women in Hu Zeyi's family again in his heart, and said secretly, even if there is no fatal case in Yanggufang, don't you old boy also worry about letting me get out of here every day? Hehe, once the murder case of Yanggufang can't be solved, I don't believe that this old boy will not take the opportunity to scare me!

Left and right are dead, Cui Geng had to struggle his neck, and said stiffly: "Ten days is ten days, but if I solve the Yanggufang murder case within ten days, I also ask Hu County Commander not to question the ability of Cui, the county lieutenant, and not to interfere with the right of the subordinate officials to judge the six Cao." ”

"Hehe, this official has said a long time ago, the county lieutenant will judge the six Cao, this is your authority, is this the kind of person who holds power autocraticly?"

When Hu Zeyi saw Cui Erlang enter the pit, he couldn't hide his smugness, and said with a smile: "If you can solve the murder case of Yanggufang within ten days, you deserve the position of Qingyuan County Lieutenant!" As for the candidate for the household, you are naturally fully qualified to recommend! ”

"Well, it's a deal! Today, Chen Xiancheng is a witness! ”

After saying that, Cui Geng turned around coldly and walked out of the court.

Seeing Cui Geng walk out of the court, Hu Zeyi snorted disdainfully: "Solve a murder case in ten days? What a shame! ”

Chen Ziang glanced at Hu Zeyi, who was triumphant, with complicated eyes, and sighed: "Want to solve the case in ten days? It's still a murder case with no clues! I'm afraid that even Master Di, who just visited the prime minister not long ago, didn't dare to say this! Duan Yi, you are a bit of a strong man! ”

Duan Yi is Hu Zeyi's character, he and Chen Ziang are Jinshi in the same year, and they have a good personal relationship, so Chen Ziang and him are commensurate with their official positions in public, but in private the two are commensurate with each other.

"Against me, hehe, he brought it on himself!" Hu Zeyi sneered.
