- There is a joke circulating in the officialdom of the Beijing Division, saying that the foreign official and the Beijing official met, and the foreign official said: 'I love the Beijing official and have a tooth card. But the Beijing official said: "I love foreign officials more." ’

Pai Ya is also called 'Little Shang Dynasty'. The emperor Lao'er ascended to the dynasty in the Jinluan Palace in the capital, and the county magistrates went to the court in the local county yali. Although it is a typical dojo made in the head of a fly, a mosquito head, and a snail shell, the etiquette and system cannot be abolished. Every day, the county yabang fires cannons, and the county, the main book, the discipline, the teaching, the history, the inspection, the post officer, the tax supervisor, ...... These sesame mung bean officials wearing black veils, as well as the officials of the six rooms, the wardens, and the leaders of the third class, all of whom wore black shirts, were all standing in the second hall in different classes.

When the second bang was beaten, the hall drum sounded, and the chief came out and sang: 'The county has been promoted!' ’

The magistrate of the county took a square step, turned out from behind the screen of the 'sea sun', and sat down behind the big case.

All the officials greeted him and chanted, "Meet the Honorable Person!" ”

Then the magistrate called for exemption and invited a group of miscellaneous officials to sit down. The officials were not qualified to sit, so they could only stand and listen to the old man's speech.

The county lord said above, but the officials looked at their noses and noses, and their hearts were distracted...... I just hope that it will end quickly, so that everyone can go back to their respective offices, and then show their majesty with their subordinates.

This kind of county yashen is just a ceremony, just like the national dynasty. Serious official business, there are cases to exchange, there are separate discussions, only the formation of a resolution, will be announced here.

There may be many official fans who never get tired of trying to arrange the government, but Wei Yuan, the county governor of Fuyang, is only twenty-nine years old this year, which is the age of high spirits and forge ahead, and he is very impatient with this kind of twilight ceremony. As soon as he saw the faces of the hall that seemed to be respectful, but in fact they were all ghostly, he couldn't wait to beat them all up!

It's a pity that I can only think about it......

After greeting and saying a few clichés, Wei Zhixian asked the officials, is there something to do?

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, he bowed his head slightly, and immediately sang: "Retreat!" ”

The officials hurriedly got up and bowed their hands: "Send it to the court." ”

Wei Zhixian arched his hand to everyone, then turned to the back of the screen, and returned to his signature room.

Another chief entourage changed his clothes, and then served refreshments, Wei Zhixian used two pieces of snacks, and felt less gloomy before asking, "Who's outside?" ”

Chang Sui said: "It's Hu Zhutou." ”

"Let him in." Wei Zhixian still has a good impression of Hu Buliu, at least he is quite conscientious about what he explains.

After Hu Buliu came in, he said deeply: "Meet the hall." ”

"What's the matter?" Wei Zhixian's face sank like a waterway, and as the head of a county, he couldn't let people see his likes and dislikes.

"There is something important to repay for your humble duties." Hu Buliu said in a low voice.

"You go down first." Wei Zhixian waved his hand, and the chief casually exited the signing room and closed the door.

"Say it." Wei Zhixian nodded, Hu Buliu leaned closer, and whispered: "Can the county honorable remember, before you took office, that wounding case?" It was the son of Wang Xingye, the criminal secretary in the county, who was beaten into a living dead. ”

"Hmm." Wei Zhixian then remembered. Because it was a case before he took office, and the injured person should have been injured because of a gambling dispute, he was not a good citizen, so it was just a routine inquiry, and it was over.

"The injured Wang Xian has woken up now." Hu Buliu said softly.

Wei Zhixian was surprised when he heard this: "It's not a fate." ”

"This morning, Wang Xian's elder brother Wang Gui went to the villain to report it," Hu Buliu said in a low voice according to Wang's father's instructions: "His brother's injury was not because of a gambling dispute, but because he was killed. ”

"Extinguish?" Wei Zhixian frowned, an ordinary injury case was actually going to develop into a big case?

"According to Wang Xian, at that time, he had already asked someone to write a pleading, and planned to stop the driver and shout grievances on the day the eldest master took office." Hu Buliu said: "As a result, I didn't know how to leak the news, and I was almost killed......"

"What is he going to cry out for?" Wei Zhixian's brows furrowed even tighter.

Hu Buliu took a breath, and Fang said in a low voice: "Lin Rongxing's murder of his wife." ”

"......" Wei Zhixian chuckled in his heart, and secretly said that it was indeed the one who killed his wife in Xiucai, who pulled his predecessor off the horse!

After he took office, the Lin family also handed over a complaint to shout injustice, and the complaint paper listed all kinds of doubts in the case, and Wei Zhixian thought it was true, but the case was decided by the sub-patrol road, and the case was reported to the criminal department according to the prosecutor's department, and the case has been closed. How could he offend a string of officials in the province and Beijing because of a few suspicious points?

Therefore, Wei Zhixian only said that the case had been handed over to the sub-patrol road, and he had no right to intervene. Later, I heard that the Lin family was indomitable, and even went to Hangzhou to file a complaint according to the prosecutor's department, and then went to Nanjing.

What's even worse is that Zhou Xin, the new Zhejiang envoy, is known for being good at breaking prison, known as 'cold noodles and cold iron', it is said that the Lin family also sued him, with Zhou Xin's character, it is estimated that he can't ignore it!

Wei Zhixian had already agreed with Xixi that the Hengzhu Lin family had no empirical evidence, and as long as he stayed out of the matter, no one could make a mistake. When the time comes, make a pot of tea and sit back and watch the wind surge. When the dust falls, you will still be yourself, and you will not cause any trouble.

It was Wei Zhixian who quickly calmed down and said slowly: "I heard that Wang Er is an idle and broken household, and his words may not be credible. ”

"The Cousin is right." Hu Buliu nodded and said, "But Wang Xian provided a clue that the humble position must be honorable." ”

"Speak."

"Wang Xian said, that the Zhao family is not dead, but hiding in the ......" Hu Buliu's voice became softer and softer, and only Wei Zhixian could hear it.

"What!" Wei Zhixian was speechless for a long time in shock, and said in a low voice: "How credible do you think?" ”

"I think it's better to believe what I have than what I don't have!" Hu Buliu repeated what Father Wang taught him: "Since the Lin family has stabbed this case into the province, with Zhou Zhentai's character, eighty percent of them will be carefully investigated." What if he comes to supervise in person during the autumn trial? ”

"Hmm......" As soon as he thought of that Zhou Zhentai, Wei Zhixian's hair stood on end. In the legend, this is a blue sky lord who knows the subtleties and is good at judging strange cases. When I came to Zhejiang at the beginning of this year, the people who had been wrongfully imprisoned wept with joy and said, 'I have to live.' When Zhou Xin arrived, he really decided the case like a god, and he was unexpected, so that those officials who were corrupt and bent the law could not be guarded against.

For example, once, in order to understand the truth of a case, he went on a small service and went on a visit, deliberately violated the Shanyin County order and was arrested and imprisoned. In prison, he learned from the prisoners the truth about the corruption and perversion of the law in the county, so he impeached and rectified the corrupt officials, and the matter became a beautiful talk for a while.

But for the officials under his rule, it was an out-and-out nightmare. On the stall, such a private interview with Weifu and a person who also likes to drill into prison, the following prefectures and counties dare not be careless for a moment, not only do they dare not arrest people indiscriminately, but even the prisoners in the cell have to be offered by their ancestors, and this day is simply unbearable.

It is estimated that the Lin family also listened to his deeds, so they resolutely controlled it......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Coming back to his senses from his thoughts, Wei Zhixian asked Hu Zhutou to go down first, and then invited Mr. Xixi Sima here.

Mr. Sima was an old talent, who had taught and eaten in the yamen, and was later recommended to be a master under the curtain of Weizhi County...... Of course, in these years, it is not good to call it master, but to call it Xixi, in fact, it is the same thing.

He was sleeping lazily in the back, but when he heard that Zhixian was looking for him, he hurriedly put on his clothes and washed his face, and hurried to the signing room, where he saw Wei Zhixian looking constipated, as if there was something really difficult to decide.

"Dong Weng, you look for me."

"Sir is here, come and get me an idea." Wei Zhixian hurriedly beckoned him to sit down, and said to Mr. Sima what Fang Cai had done to Mr. Sima.

"Oh......" Mr. Sima twisted a few goatees, and after listening, he muttered for a moment: "Dong Weng, knowing that the Zhao family is still alive, we should no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb." In case someone else cracks the case, Dong Weng will be said to be dereliction of duty at best, and accomplice at worst. ”

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and said: "Besides, this case is twisted and bizarre, and it involves a wide range of people, if it can be turned over, it will definitely shake the whole country!" People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, but being an official is most afraid of having no reputation! Think about it, the case that has been approved by the Criminal Department has been turned over by you, Dong Weng will inevitably be famous in the sea and become a famous eunuch like Zhou Zhentai, will you still have to worry about the future in the future? ”

"Sir, you're talking too far......" Wei Zhixian couldn't help but look forward to it, and he couldn't admit it yet.

"Then take a step back." Mr. Sima was excited and couldn't help but say: "Dong Weng can solve this case, at least he can establish his prestige in this county, sweep away the perfunctory atmosphere, and see who dares to disobey the yang and the yin?" ”

It turned out that since Wei Zhixian took office, the officials in the county bullied him for being young and had no background, but he was very troubled, and he touched a few soft nails, so that Wei Zhixian couldn't do anything, and he had nowhere to do it, so he was in a hurry all day long......

After listening to Mr. Sima's words, Wei Zhixian finally told the truth: "Don't hide it from Mr. Don't tell me, I think so too." He sighed and said, "But how to observe and decide this case, if I rashly intervene, I will definitely provoke his anger." This person is the most intolerant, as can be seen from his treatment of my predecessor, if that Wang Xian lies, he will be killed. ”

"Dong Weng's words are reasonable, then Wang Xianfeng has a bad reputation, and his words can't be trusted," Master Sima nodded and said: "It's better to go to his house quietly tonight to find out the truth, if what he said is true, let's make another calculation." ”

"Well, there's no rush at this time." Wei Zhixian nodded and said, "But don't leak the news." Obviously, the scales in his heart have been inclined to meddle with this matter.

"If Dong Weng is not at ease," Master Sima said with a smile: "You might as well send a messenger to the torture room and ask them to make up a confession for Wang Xian, so that his case can be closed." ”

Wei Zhixian thought about it for a while, and praised with his palm: "Great goodness, virtual and real, who can expect it!" ”
