Early the next morning, the gate of the county government office of Jiangdu County had just opened, and when the two guards were stretching their waists and rubbing their eyes, a group of errands hurried over with a black four-wheeled carriage.

"Hurry up and tell the county lord, the inspector has arrived." The doorman who stretched his waist glanced at the license plate hanging in front of the carriage, and hurriedly said a word to the doorman who rubbed his eyes, and then bowed to greet him, and another doorman ran into the courtyard.

At the beginning of April, two imperial court inspectors arrived in Nanzhili, one to inspect the state capital in the north of Nanzhili, and the other to patrol the state capital in the south of Nanzhili.

Different from previous years, after the arrival of the imperial history, the state capitals of Nanzhili were like facing a great enemy, and they all dealt with it carefully, for fear of being found out some problems.

The reason why these state capitals are so nervous is because the Metropolitan Procuratorate has changed its head, and Chen Zhi, the former Imperial History of the Left Capital, has retired to the Imperial History of the Right Capital, and the new Imperial History of the Left Capital is a loyal king with a great reputation.

Chen Zhi was in power at the time when the young orthodox emperor ascended the throne, and his qualifications and prestige were insufficient, which made the imperial historians usually carry their tails when they arrived in the place, and their authority was based on the support of the emperor and the prestige of the officials of the Imperial Procuratorate.

Now that Li Yuntian has entered the Imperial Procuratorate, although his qualifications are not as good as Chen Zhi's, his reputation is almost unrivaled in the Ming Dynasty, which makes the local yamen quite jealous, and he naturally has to be respectful to the imperial historians.

Therefore, when it was noticed that the two guards of the patrol royal history had arrived, how could they dare to be lazy, and they were greeted and repaid.

The four-wheeled carriage stopped in front of the yamen of Jiangdu County, and a middle-aged man wearing a seven-grade official robe got out of the carriage expressionlessly, and led most of his servants into the public hall of the county ya, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back in front of the hall.

"I don't know if the adults are coming, the lower officials have missed the distance, and I hope to forgive the sins." Not long after, Fang Yu, the magistrate of Jiangdu County, hurriedly came, tidied up the seven-grade official robe on his body, and bowed to Wang Lu.

Although both of them are official positions of Zhengqipin, Wang Lu is patrolling on behalf of the sky, so Fang Yu is naturally a subordinate official in front of Wang Lu.

"Fang Zhi County, this official heard that your yamen received a case of a population dispute yesterday, I don't know how it is now?" Wang Lu glanced at Fang Yu and asked quietly.

"This ......" Fang Yu was slightly stunned when he heard this, he thought that Wang Lu was here to check the case file, but he never expected to pay attention to a case that happened yesterday, and because the time was too hasty, he did not receive the relevant case information.

Besides, not all the cases of the county government of Jiangdu County have to be reported to the defense, after all, the duty of the county magistrate is not only to try cases but also to govern the locality, so he only needs to know important cases.

"My lord, the lower officials don't know about this case, so I'll send the county to inquire." After a deep groan, Fang Yu bowed to Wang Lu quietly.

Although Fang Yu didn't know why Wang Lu was so concerned about yesterday's case, he was glad that he was not involved now, it was obvious that Wang Lu would not come for no reason, there must be something hidden inside.

Wang Lu bowed slightly when he heard this, Fang Yu hurriedly asked people to call Zhang Xiancheng, and at the same time asked people to check the files of yesterday's case, and the cases that happened yesterday were recorded on it.

Zhang Xiancheng was not in the residence of the county government, according to his wife, Zhang Xiancheng went out to the banquet last night and has not returned, so Fang Yu only needs to ask people to go to the Qinglou in the city to find it.

Although Zhang Xiancheng was not there, the county government's officials found the case file of Wang Lu's case from the treasury, and according to the records on the file, Li Yuntian and others had the wrong intention of forcibly seizing the young child in public, and the witnesses were gathered, and the witnesses all signed and detained the testimony.

At first glance, there was nothing wrong with this file, but Fang Yu's face became ugly, he knew the efficiency of those errand officers in the yamen, and it was very rare to find the case so "clear" in just one day, which meant that there must be a lot of cats in it.

"How can it be!" Wang Lu looked at the file expressionlessly, his face became more and more gloomy, and finally slapped the file on the table, and shouted to the messenger with a cold expression, "Come on, go and pass these witnesses above!" ”

Upon hearing this, some of the officers bowed to Wang Lu and went to look for the witnesses registered in the case file under the guidance of the county officials, who had been recruited by Wang Lu from the various ministries and courts in Nanjing, and had little connection with the local authorities.

The biggest difference between the governor and the governor is that after the governor, there is a yamen and personnel in the local office, and the patrol according to the imperial history can only recruit people to do errands every time he comes.

At the same time, Wang Lu sent people to the prison to protect the cell where Li Yuntian and the others were located, and forbade anyone to approach it.

Facing the errand soldiers who flocked to protect the cell, Wen knew that Li Yuntian's reinforcements had arrived, but what made him curious was that Li Yuntian had not left the dark, damp prison with a pungent smell.

The so-called invitation to God is easy and difficult to send God, since Li Yuntian has entered this prison, he will never leave without asking for an explanation, although he is in prison, but the people outside are even more uncomfortable than him.

After seeing the errand brought by Wang Lu, Li Yuntian knew that Li Shan's matter would be over, so he asked Lin Xin to leave first, after all, it was not convenient for Lin Xin to be a woman in prison, and there were some things that Lin Xin also needed to do.

When Lin Xin left, the cell head was stunned, he never imagined that the Imperial History would send someone to "guard" Li Yuntian and others in the prison, and he never imagined that Lin Xin would open his mouth and let the messengers brought by Wang Lu, who was guarding the door, open the door, and those errand officers who were usually arrogant would open the door obediently, as if they did not consider the consequences of releasing the criminals privately.

In addition to being shocked, the cell boss secretly dared to rejoice, fortunately he didn't let his jailers beat Li Yuntian and the others, otherwise he might not even know how to die at that time.

Li Yuntian sat by the wall and closed his eyes to recuperate, although the environment in the prison was relatively poor, but he had a rare good night's sleep last night, and he didn't need to think about those complicated troubles in the prison.

Therefore, Li Yuntian quickly fell asleep after the fatigue hit, and even made a slight snoring sound, which made Wen Du amazed, and it was difficult for him to fall asleep in this kind of environment that was not even as good as the sheepfold.

But soon, the strangeness in Wen Du's heart was replaced by admiration, he originally thought that a high-ranking and powerful official like Li Yuntian lived a life of spending days and drinking every day, but from Li Yuntian's tired face, he knew that he was wrong, it seemed that Li Yuntian had a heavy official business to deal with every day.

Li Yuntian is not interested in the case he is involved in now, because naturally someone will help him solve this matter, the only thing he is worried about is Li Shan, if Zhang Xiancheng and the stout man are not rudimentary, they will probably steal the beam and change the pillar and change Li Shan, although this kind of thing seems a little crazy, but it is real in reality, after all, this is the territory of Zhang Xiancheng and the stout man.

Compared with Li Yuntian's calmness, Fang Yu, the magistrate of Jiangdu County, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, he already knew that Wang Lu's people had taken over the prison, which made him realize the seriousness of the situation, and secretly prayed in his heart not to be implicated.

What made Fang Yu feel a little strange was that he originally thought that Wang Lu would go to the prison to meet the people who were arrested because of Li Shan's case yesterday, but Wang Lu didn't mean anything about it, it stands to reason that the people in the prison should be very important.

It's a pity that because the prison was guarded by Wang Lu's people, and Wang Lu had been staying in the lobby, Fang Yu didn't have a chance to go to the prison to see who was arrested.

"See Lord Inspector Yushi and Lord Zhixian." While Fang Yu was anxiously waiting, Zhang Xiancheng, who was full of alcohol, walked into the public hall quickly and bowed to him and Wang Lu.

Because the officer who was sent to find Zhang Xiancheng did not know Wang Lu's intention, Zhang Xiancheng thought that Wang Lu was here to investigate the case, and he did not know Wang Lu's purpose at all.

"Zhang Xiancheng, you tried this case?" Fang Yu picked up the case file of Li Shan's case and patted it, and asked Zhang Xiancheng in a deep voice quietly.

"Lord Yu, it is the lower official who has been tried, but he has not yet passed the court, but the evidence is complete." Zhang Xiancheng couldn't help but chuckle in his heart after seeing the case file, and there was an ominous premonition in his heart, no matter what, he didn't expect Wang Lu to come for this matter, which undoubtedly seemed to be a bit of a fuss.

However, it was this surprising fuss that made Zhang Xiancheng realize the seriousness of the situation, and the person who could be recruited by the Imperial History was definitely not an idle person, and he now began to suspect that he seemed to have guessed the identity of Li Yuntian and the others.

However, the matter has come to this point, Zhang Xiancheng can only hold up Li Shan's case hard, and the big deal is to put the responsibility on the stout man at that time.

"Zhang Xiancheng, are you sure that the evidence is conclusive?" At this time, Wang Lu sneered and looked at Zhang Xiancheng coldly, this guy actually said that King Zhong forcibly took his nephew in public, which is simply a big joke in the world.

The reason why Wang Lu appeared in Jiangdu County was naturally because he received a report from Li Yuntian's subordinates.

When Lin Xin left the restaurant yesterday, she gave an order to the guard who was mixed in the crowd on the street, and the guard went to find Wang Lu according to Li Yuntian's arrangement.

When Wang Lu knew that Li Yuntian was brought into the county government of Jiangdu County, he was taken aback, but he did not expect Li Yuntian to come to Yangzhou City quietly, and what particularly shocked Wang Lu was that Li Yuntian was imprisoned after entering the county office.

Since Li Yuntian instructed Wang Lu to go to the Jiangdu County Ya the next day, Wang Lu, who had been tossing and turning all night, took people to the Jiangdu County Ya early the next morning to find out Li Shan's case, so as to relieve Li Yuntian's siege.

"Lord Patrol, these witnesses have signed and drawn their signatures in person, and there will be no mistakes." Zhang Xiancheng nodded when he heard this, and said seriously, and in a few words, he put the responsibility on those witnesses.

"Bring witnesses!" Wang Lu saw that Zhang Xiancheng did not have the slightest remorse at this time, and was still stubbornly resisting and wanted to get away with it, so he glanced at him coldly and said to the errand officer on the side.

Immediately, under the surprised gaze of Fang Yu and Zhang Xiancheng, Wang Lu's messenger Hulala brought in a large group of people and filled the public hall to the brim.

Zhang Xiancheng's face was full of surprise, he had the impression that there were less than ten witnesses in Li Shan's case, but there were as many as forty or fifty people in the room, as if there were many more people inexplicably.
