Chapter 134: The Game in the Hall (Three Watches Today)
The public hall in Dinghai County is not small, and it is said that it was renovated just a few months ago. Insiders know that Wu Degui thought that he could take the position and sit on the throne of the county, so he built this civil engineering and renovated it.
Ironically, in the end, he made a wedding dress for others.
So sitting in this court, Wu Degui was in a very bad mood, he was in a bad mood, so he planned to humiliate Chu Xian in the public court for a while.
He figured it out too.
This Chu Xian does have some skills, it can be seen from the way the other party dealt with it yesterday, until now, Wu Degui can't figure it out, that Chu Xian is obviously a foreigner, and when he came to Dinghai County for the first time, how did he know that Jiang Yuan was such a No. 1 person.
Jiang Yuan had resigned more than ten years ago, and he was a native of Dinghai County, and there were not many people who knew Jiang Yuan.
Therefore, the more difficult Chu Xian behaved to deal with, the more uncomfortable he became, and the more he wanted to get rid of this trouble as soon as possible.
means, Wu Degui is more.
He is just testing now, and when he has figured out the details of Chu Xian, he can use some means to make this self-righteous county official lose his official position, or even become a prisoner of the ranks.
is still the same sentence, Dinghai County, it is he Wu Degui, here, he is the king of the same.
Wu Degui is the chief bookkeeper and the county lieutenant, so he is seated in the hall, and behind him, the clerk also has a seat, and in addition, including the canonical history Zhang Zhong, he can only stand.
When Chu Xian came, everyone stood up symbolically, but there was no respect on their faces, Chu Xian also turned a blind eye, Qi Chengxiang hung a knife around his waist, held the handle of the knife in his hand, and followed behind Chu Xian with a murderous face.
Chu Xian sat on the main seat with a majestic expression, first swept his eyes around, and then said: "Today's promotion is for the trial, administration, and issuance of orders, which may take some hours, and you have a preparation in your heart." β
Wu Degui and the others immediately frowned.
At that moment, Wu Degui said in a strange manner: "I don't know what case Lord Xiancheng is trying, what kind of government is being implemented, and what order is issued?"
The implication is that it is saying that you Chu Xian has just arrived, you don't understand anything, you don't know anything, you dare to go to the court, and you also try cases, govern, and issue orders, which is simply a joke.
After Wu Degui asked, someone immediately laughed, although it was not obvious, but it could definitely be heard.
If you are a bystander, you will inevitably be impatient and will be angry on the spot.
The depth of Chu Xian's city mansion was obviously far beyond Wu Degui's expectations, so he saw that Chu Xian didn't seem to hear the laughter, but said seriously: "Didn't you send the official documents that have accumulated in the past few months and have not been dealt with this morning? Of course, it is to deal with those remaining affairs." β
Wu Degui sneered in his heart, what about deceiving ghosts? I just sent it half an hour ago, and now I dare to open a court to deal with it, and I estimate that I will read one article at most.
After thinking about it, Wu Degui came up with an idea.
It's better to wait first, and wait for this Chu Xian to run out of words for a while before asking questions, and then it will inevitably make this hairy boy unable to get off the stage.
Thinking of this, Wu Degui smiled: "Okay, please start with Lord County." β
Chu Xian said: "Let's discuss the matter first, the first thing is to reclaim the wasteland and lead the stream into the canal in the coming year, this matter needs to be planned as soon as possible, first prepare the required silver two, and start construction immediately after the beginning ......of spring."
Simple, straightforward, and straight to the topic, this is the way Chu Xian speaks, and the same is true for doing things.
"Lord County, there is not much money in the county's account, so it is recommended to wait for this matter, at least until there is enough money. The clerk over there opened his mouth and said, he is also the scribe of the household, in charge of the land, the household registration, the taxation, and the finances, that is, the person who is in charge of the money.
Chu Xian turned his head and glanced at the clerk, and then said something that made the other party a little frightened.
"No more money? Then take the account books of the last few years, and the official will look at them. β
Want to see the books?
The clerical officer's first reaction was absolutely not, you must know that Wu Degui has been holding Dinghai County for many years, and it is common to be greedy for ink and silver, and it is all done by his hands, so the clerk knows very well that the account books cannot withstand inspection.
So he was a little hesitant, and he was a little overwhelmed in the face of Chu Xian's request.
At this time, he saw Wu Degui's eyes at him.
At that moment, the clerk reacted.
Lord Wu asked him to pick it up, and the clerk also thought of one thing, the account books were extremely cumbersome and complicated, especially after a few years of accumulation of account books, they were like heavenly books.
Besides, although there are problems with the account books, he has also embellished them, and if he is not particularly proficient in this way and has examined and compared the problems in them for a long time, he will definitely not see the problem.
In other words, he wants to find out the problem from the account books, and he doesn't even think about it for three or five days.
This county lord let himself bring the account books of the past few years, nine times out of ten, he is bluffing himself, the other party may not understand it, even if he can understand it, he can't see the problem for a while, so he doesn't need to worry about it at all.
If the other party really wants to check this, he also has a way to fill some loopholes in a few days.
Thinking of this, the clerk knew what to do.
In a few moments, he had a large pile of books of accounts brought in, some of which were covered with dust.
The clerk said: "Lord County, here are the account books of the last two years, since you want to see it, let's read it." β
After saying that, he had an expression that you couldn't understand.
If he knew that Chu Xian had a Shenhai library and had magical powers that he would never forget, he would not be so relaxed and arrogant.
Chu Xian asked Qi Chengxiang to present the account books one by one, but he still seemed to be looking at the flowers and flowers, as if he was flipping through them at random, one after another, one after another.
When others look at it, they are relaxed, and they may not be able to find the problem inside when they look closely, but if they look through it quickly like this, it is absolutely impossible to see the problem.
Soon, Chu Xian went through all the account books.
For Chu Xian, this was enough, and he was immersed in the Divine Sea, and he had enough time to check the flaws in the accounts according to the memory book.
In the eyes of others, Chu Xian just closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before opening his eyes again.
And the next moment, Chu Xian suddenly slapped the shocked wood and said, "Chief Qi Dao, arrest the clerical officer." β
This order came very quickly, and it was even more unexpected, when others didn't react, Qi Chengxiang was already like a tiger descending the mountain, stepped forward in a few steps, pressed the already frightened clerical officer to the ground, pulled out a rope from behind his waist, and tied the clerical officer firmly in two or three strokes.
It was only then that everyone reacted.
"Lord Xiancheng, what are you going to do here?" Wu Degui immediately got up and asked, he didn't expect that this Chu Xian would arrest people if he said that he would arrest people, and there was no reason.
Wu Degui apparently decided that this was an arrest for no reason.
So even if it is a county official, he can't act so recklessly.
"The clerical officer is also an official, and the county lord has arrested a county Chinese book without asking, if you don't give everyone an explanation, Wu will definitely go to the city government to sue you." Wu Degui's voice raised again.
The clerk over there also reacted, and immediately shouted: "Why arrest me, I am also a person from the ninth grade, and my name is an official in the official canon, there is no reason, why arrest me?"
Qi Chengxiang glanced at Chu Xian at this time, and seeing that Chu Xian's face was expressionless, Qi Chengxiang knew that since Lord Chu was expressionless, then he must be confident.
At this moment, there was only the sound of the clerical clerk's struggle in the hall, and other than that, everyone looked at Chu Xian to see what he said.
Chu Xian was still expressionless, but he took out a few books from the account book, and then threw them on the hall: "I arrested you because you falsified accounts, as the clerk of the household, you should know how the account books should be recorded according to the laws of the Holy Dynasty, if you falsify the accounts, shouldn't you be arrested?"
When the clerk heard this, his face was a little pale, his heart was drumming, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Whether there is a problem with the account book, he knows best, but he should cover it up very well, it is impossible to see the problem so quickly, besides, just now, this county lord, it was a random flip through, how could he see the problem?
At this moment, he also had a trace of luck in his heart, and he raised his head and said: "My lord, I didn't falsify the accounts, don't spew blood." β
Wu Degui also said at this time: "Lord County, there is no real evidence, just guessing can not convict an official from the ninth grade, you had better explain this matter clearly, otherwise we will have to go to the city government to find the theory of the Lord of the Imperial Order." β
This is putting pressure on Chu Xian.
Because in the eyes of Wu Degui and the clerical officer, this Chu Xian has just arrived, especially the account books, and he is even more indiscriminately flipping through them, how can he find the problems in them?
So, it's mostly bluffing.
This method of bluffing is often used when trying a case, which is like playing hide and seek, obviously not seeing where the other party is hiding, but deliberately shouting, I saw you, don't hide, come out, it's a truth.
If there is a ghost in his heart, he will be deceived and come out by himself.
Wu Degui and the clerk estimated that now this Chu Xian is bluffing, but this is a little too naΓ―ve, when we are three-year-old children?
Think too much, Lord Xiancheng.
The clerk sneered in his heart, Wu Degui also looked disdainful, the two glanced at each other, and decided very tacitly, just take this opportunity to rectify this new county lord, on this matter, if the other party can't say why, then directly pull the other party to Zhenxi City and find the city government order to sue.
The other party made this big mistake when he first arrived, if no one spoke, he would make the other party lose his official position, and at least he could carry a big one.
At this time, Chu Xian said: "Whether you have been wronged or not, you will be able to see it immediately, this is the account book you gave, since Lord Wu questioned it, then please ask Lord Wu for your help, turn the account book in March last year to 17 pages, and turn the account books in July, August, and September this year to 31 pages, 29 pages, and 35 pages respectively." β
