Yuan Tuiguan was angry in his heart, and secretly said You still have the face to say me? Children know this truth, but the problem is that they said before that they were going to give the new chief magistrate a dismissal, but the second time he was convened, all of them went on time, and he was left alone, and people were sorry for themselves if they didn't do it themselves.

It's just that I can't say that yet.

Not only can he not say it, but he can also thank the other party for speaking up and helping him intercede.

Yuan Tuiguan figured it out, this kind of thing, he must not come out again in the future, and they all thought that Chu Xian was young and easy to deal with, who would have thought that although this Shangguan was not very old, his methods were ruthless and sophisticated, and he should not be underestimated.

Chu Xian stayed in the Criminal Prosecution Division for a whole day, even after everyone else left, Chu Xian was still in the study of the Criminal Division, flipping through the classic files.

Many of the major and important cases in charge of the entire Pilgrimage are unsolved, and those that cannot be resolved or are doubtful in the local prefectures will be transferred to the Criminal Prosecution Division, which will intervene and send officials to assist in the investigation.

Of course, most of them can be found out, but there are also a very few unsolved cases that cannot be solved even by the magistrates of the Criminal Division.

Chu Xian plans to find an unsolved case to solve.

There are several considerations for doing this, he is a new official, even if he is recommended by Kong Qian, no one will be convinced by the Criminal Division, or even the entire Criminal Department, so Chu Xian not only needs to establish official authority, but also needs to show his true ability.

Legislature is an official authority, which is by virtue of power and deterrence, but it cannot convince people, but it can solve a major unsolved case, then it is different.

The main duty of the magistrates of the Criminal Investigation Department is to judge the case and investigate the murderer, and they can solve the outstanding cases that other magistrates cannot solve, which is the greatest deterrent, and they can only be convinced when the time comes.

In addition, there is another point, the Yang family wants to use some means to transfer themselves away, even if there are Kong Qian, Cui Huanzhi, and even Lord Xiao Yu to deal with it, it may not make the Yang family give up, Yang Zhenqing is an old fox among the old foxes, how can you consider that these people will speak for themselves?

Yang Zhenqi can take it into account, then there must be a corresponding strategy, so on his side, he must increase his chips.

What Chu Xian can do is to find a very influential unsolved case to solve, so that with this as an excuse, even if Yang Zhenqing has the means, he will not be able to stand on the truth.

This is Chu Xian's consideration, but this matter also has great risks.

To solve an unsolved case, the difficulty can be imagined, even so many pushers, including Kong Qian's old pusher, can't solve it, can't find out the truth, he turned out an unsolved case with great fanfare to investigate, once it fails, it will definitely become an excuse for the Yang family to attack, once this is the case, when the remarks that you are not suitable for the criminal division will appear, and people will transfer you away, even if it is Xiao Yuzhongshu, what can you say?

Therefore, Chu Xian either doesn't do this, and once he does, he must solve it and find out the truth.

So how to choose an unsolved case, which must not only be influential, but also be able to solve it, this is the problem that Chu Xian faced, so he chose it all day.

At this moment, it was dark, Wu Juzheng did not leave, and was still respectfully guarding outside.

On weekdays, when it's too dark, he goes home, and today is an exception.

Wu Juzheng was also too busy today, so he forgot to inform his family, and now, his wife at home is a little anxious.

Wu Zhang's is Wu Juzheng's wife, Wu Juzheng married his wife late, and only married his wife after entering the office, his wife Wu Zhang's family is also considered to be a good family, his father is an official in the prefecture and county, married to Wu Juzheng, and he is also an official wife, at that time, relatives and friends in the neighborhood were envious.

But who can know that Wu Juzheng's career is very uneven, when he was transferred to Jingzhou, the husband and wife were still full of longing, but after so many years, Wu Juzheng is standing still, and sometimes, he is not even as good as some small officials.

This made Wu Zhang very disappointed.

When I first came to Jingzhou, I was surrounded by people who were very affectionate, but when I saw that Wu Juzheng was hopeless for promotion, he was still a Jiupin after more than ten years, and soon those people who stammered left, and even sneered at Wu Zhang's family.

The so-called world is hot and cold.

Wu Zhang was also a local beauty when he was young, how many talented people wanted to marry her, and now they are living in such embarrassment, to say that they are not lost in their hearts, it is false.

Therefore, on weekdays, she was also very disappointed in Wu Juzheng, and she had to vent a few words, but she still guarded Wu Juzheng afterwards.

Today, she cooked a meal at home and waited for Wu Juzheng, but she couldn't wait left and right, and she was a little anxious for a while.

At this time, the neighbor Tan's sister-in-law knocked on the door and came in, saying that she had borrowed fifteen taels of silver before and wanted to pay it back next month.

"Shurong, your family doesn't need money for the time being, your son is studying, and Lao Wu is also a stable errand, but my family is different, recently I am seeking an official position from the eighth grade in the government, and this day is for this matter to invite guests to eat, and the cost will be large, so I originally wanted to repay you this month, but after thinking about it, let's go next month, and when my family is promoted to the eighth grade, Yu Lu will be a lot more, and pay you back this money, it will definitely not be a problem. This sister-in-law Tan is obviously proud in her words, and there is also a kind of ostentatious meaning in it.

When Wu Zhang heard this, he felt very uncomfortable.

If you want to talk about entering the office, Wu Juzheng is going to be several years earlier than the other party, before the two families were half a catty and eight taels, both of which were nine grades, and no one was better than the other, but just a few days ago, this old Tan family actually came to run, I heard that there was a seven-grade official who appreciated it, so it was possible to be promoted, this is not, busy all day long, although the matter has not been skimmed, but the streets and neighbors have been spread, all know that the people of the Tan family are going to be promoted, these days I don't know how many people ran to congratulate, want to tie the knots in advance, these are in the eyes of Wu Zhang, it is like a thorn.

She also wants to be envied, and she also wants to be Mrs. Bapin, but the reality is not allowed at all.

At this time, she could only smile reluctantly: "That's not in a hurry, anyway, we don't need money now, we pay it back next month, just next month." ”

"It's still Shurong who is knowledgeable, oh yes, I heard something from my family, and I don't know if it's true, but it has something to do with Juzheng. Sister-in-law Tan suddenly said mysteriously at this time.

Wu Zhang was stunned: "What's the matter?"

"Not a good thing. Sister-in-law Tan sighed deliberately and said: "My family is in the government office, and he also walks around with the departments under the Criminal Department on weekdays, he heard that there should be a big move in the Criminal Department, as if to reduce officials, this kind of thing has happened before, some officials with insufficient ability will be removed from their official positions and demoted to small officials, I heard that Juzheng is very dangerous now, and it seems to be in the list of demoted." ”

Hearing this, Wu Zhang's heart trembled, but he still forced a smile and said: "Sister-in-law Tan, this news is fake, Ju Zheng has never said this." ”

Sister-in-law Tan said at the moment: "You don't know this, which man is willing to admit that he can't do it? Especially this official, the most taboo is demotion, he just knows, and he definitely can't tell you, if you want me to say, Juzheng is still too upright, to put it bluntly, he doesn't know how to do things, he doesn't know how to tie up with officials, in this world, he can't eat this kind of person in the officialdom." Don't believe this, what my family told me, their government, there is a small official, like a list student who only took the exam the year before last, it stands to reason that this kind of newcomer does not be a small official for more than five years, where does he have the opportunity to become an official, but guess what? That kid is because he got on a Shangguan, someone is covered, and he is about to be promoted to the ninth grade, don't look at it as just a ninth grade, but he can't stand up to the youth, the so-called young and promising, maybe he can rise to the eighth grade, the seventh grade, or even higher, these days, the threshold of the kid's family is about to be stepped on by the matchmaker, and they are all going to propose, I don't know how many people's daughters are counting on marrying, because once they get married, they can become the official wife, and the face is bigger. ”

Sister-in-law Tan was talking eloquently here, and Wu Zhang's heart became more and more uncomfortable.

She and Wu Juzheng have been married for more than ten years, and at first they were also high-spirited, and they also felt that they were the wife of an official, but after more than ten years, Wu Juzheng did not advance but retreated, and her relatives even talked behind their backs, saying that they were blind and found such a person. And if what Sister-in-law Tan said is true, if Wu Juzheng is demoted, loses his official position, and becomes a small official, then the family will inevitably plummet, and when the time comes, what will those people in her mother's family, as well as relatives and friends, neighbors, think?

Thinking of this, Wu Zhang only felt hopeless, and there was no hope for his life.

Sister-in-law Tan also saw it, but she didn't plan to leave, but was proud in her heart, thinking that you Wu Zhang is not pretty, what's the big deal, it's not that you can't get along, the so-called woman is expensive with her husband, no matter how capable you are, no matter how strong you are, it's useless if your husband doesn't give it.

At this time, Sister-in-law Tan looked around and deliberately asked, "Why don't you see Juzheng?"

Wu Zhang hurriedly beat his spirit and said: "Maybe, it is because the division has a lot of things to do and is busy." ”

"What are you busy with, it's just being busy, no matter how much you do now, what's the use? There is no one above, and the official position is unstable, and sometimes, you just have to be sleek. Forget it, don't say more, when my family is promoted, remember to come and drink celebratory wine. After Sister-in-law Tan finished speaking, she twisted her ass and left.

Wu Zhang stood in place, did not move for a long time, she was mixed in her heart at the moment, thinking of the grievances of these years, thinking of the fate she would face in the future, she finally cried.

Outside the door, Sister-in-law Tan heard the movement, smiled proudly, and turned away.

Wu Juzheng naturally didn't know about these things.

If Chu Xian doesn't leave, he can't go, Wu Juzheng knows this very well, although he is worried about the things at home, he doesn't dare to say it.

Finally, Chu Xian selected an unsolved case file, looked up and saw that it was already night, and it was almost time.

"I didn't pay attention, it's so late. Chu Xian muttered at this time, and soon, Wu Juzheng, who was waiting at the outer door, immediately stepped forward and brought a bowl of ginseng soup.

"My lord, forgive me for the weather, drink a bowl of ginseng soup to warm up. Wu Juzheng is obviously not very good at saying this kind of thing, and he is stammering a little at the moment.

But Chu Xian could feel the other party's sincerity.
