Chapter 136: Establishing Official Authority (Second Watch Asking for Votes)

Xia Bozhong came up and bowed to Chu Xian and Wu Degui.

"I've seen the county lord, the master bookkeeper. "Xia Bo Zhongli is upright, neither humble nor arrogant, and at first glance he is the kind of person who still has righteousness.

It is already commendable to maintain this righteousness in Dinghai County, which is controlled by Wu Degui.

In fact, Chu Xian's choice of Xia Bozhong was not chosen randomly, he knew that Xia Bozhong was qualified to be a clerical officer, and he also knew that Xia Bozhong was not Wu Degui's person.

In the first life of the dream, Chu Xian was on an errand in Dinghai County, that is, he followed Xia Bozhong, and he was also a teacher and friend with the other party, so he naturally understood this person.

Just like Chu Xian understood Jiang Yuan.

These two people are all friends that Chu Xian once made in Dinghai County, this time Chu Xian deliberately used means to get rid of the original official position of Cai Wenwen, from the beginning, it was to support Xia Bozhong to take the position.

No matter whether this point is obvious or not, Wu Degui will inevitably be aware of it.

But Chu Xian is not afraid.

is still the same sentence, Chu Xian knows Dinghai County very well, especially the people he values, just like Xia Bozhong, it is absolutely impossible to fall to Wu Degui.

What's ridiculous is that Wu Degui doesn't know that the first corrupt official Xia Bozhong wants to get rid of is him Wu Degui.

At this moment, Chu Xian showed that he didn't know Xia Bozhong at all, and said directly: "You are Xia Bozhong?"

The latter nodded and said, "Lord Cheng of Huiyu County, Xia Bozhong is below." ”

"Okay, from now on, you are the clerk of Dinghai County, the official appointment, I will report it, and wait for the reapproval of the ministry, you can leave your name in the official canon and obtain the official talisman, but it may take a few days, you will temporarily exercise the power of the clerk, remember the rules of the official, don't forget the original intention of the official." ”

Chu Xian's words were very concise, and that Xia Bozhong had worked hard for more than ten years, and finally had a bright day at this moment, although he was extremely excited, but on the surface he was extremely calm, at least he did not get carried away, and he did not lose his mind because of this.

I saw him bow down and say: "I will do my duty and never slack off, and live up to the expectations of adults." ”

is also a simple sentence, indicating Xia Bozhong's attitude.

Chu Xian didn't say much, and let Xia Bozhong sit in the original position of Cai Wenwen, as for Cai Wenwen, he was resentful at the moment, but he didn't dare to say more, and then he was taken down.

"Now that there is a candidate for the clerical officer, then please ask the county lord to continue. Wu Degui said at this time, and the implication was to see what Chu Xian had to do.

Chu Xian knew Wu Degui's thoughts, and he deliberately sent so many files before, just to disgust himself and drag himself, but the other party didn't expect that Chu Xian had a Shenhai library, and that little thing was really difficult for Chu Xian.

Since you Wu Degui want to drag me with the dossier, then I will drag you Wu Degui with a court trial.

Chu Xian didn't need to look at the file, he directly said the second, third, fourth, and so on matters that needed to be decided, and the rules and regulations, Chu Xian remembered clearly, at first Wu Degui didn't believe in evil, and wanted to ask Chu Xian, but no matter how he asked, Chu Xian could answer like a stream.

"Something is wrong!" Wu Degui secretly said that it was not good.

What is the situation of this Chu Xian, why do the Chinese books sent before remember so clearly, could it be that the other party has really read them?

Impossible.

Wu Degui didn't believe it at all, because it was him, and he didn't have three or five days, let alone deal with it, he couldn't finish watching it.

This time in the hall, Chu Xian took the initiative.

After talking about governing the county, he talked about other affairs, and finally tried the files that had not yet been concluded, involving civil disputes, injuries, and homicides.

This time, the ascension lasted all day from early in the morning, through noon, to the afternoon, and finally into the night.

And looking at Chu Xian's appearance, he was not a little tired, and he had to continue to try the case overnight.

Because it has been accumulated over several months, so far, it is only half of the processing, and the result is that Chu Xian and Qi Chengxiang are in good spirits, and Wu Degui and others are bitter in their hearts.

Who would have thought that it was originally a strategy to disgust Chu Xian and drag Chu Xian down, but in the end, he actually disgusted himself and dragged himself down.

At this time, Wu Degui was even more displeased with Cai Wenwen, who came up with this idea, and secretly said that this person was really useless, and he had been a clerical officer for so many years, and he couldn't even fight a newcomer in his career.

In the hall, except for Chu Xian and Qi Chengxiang, there was no tiredness, and the new clerk who was brought up by Chu Xian, Xia Bozhong, also had a serious demeanor and did not have the slightest impatience.

The next trial was a major murder case, which was originally unsolved, and the murderer who committed the crime could not be found, but Chu Xian's trial was to peel off the cocoon, and first send the suspects to the court for questioning one by one.

In the eyes of outsiders, it was a simple inquiry, but when asked about the nephew of the victim, Chu Xian only asked three questions, and then he was shocked and ordered someone to take down the other party.

The man's frightened soul did not possess his body, but he claimed to be wronged, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the other party had a ghost in his heart, and the result was just a few scares, and the man cried bitterly and confessed to the fact that he had killed his own uncle.

"God!"

Several officials secretly said in their hearts, they knew about this unsolved case, it happened a month ago, when Lord Wu was in charge of the trial, but he couldn't find the real culprit, so it became an unsolved case, why did this new county lord find out the real culprit in such a simple first trial?

This real murderer is the nephew of the victim, and he is the first person to report the crime, and he is actually the real murderer, which is indeed unexpected.

Obviously, not only these officials, but everyone else is also curious, how did this county lord see that person was the real murderer?

At this time, Chu Xian took the initiative to speak: "Although this person is the person who reported the case, but it is the most suspicious, as mentioned in the file, he is addicted to gambling houses, and even sold his real estate and land to use as gambling funds, with high debts, and he can't make ends meet, but look at him now, he is cleanly dressed, with jade around his waist, where he looks like he is being collected for debts, he must have recently made a windfall." The source of the windfall, most of them are partial doors, coupled with the records of the victim's autopsy book, in his own house, he was killed by a knife in the back, and the property in the house was stolen, and the doors and windows of the house are intact, which means that the murderer entered from the door, and it was the door opened by the victim, and he was stabbed in the back, indicating that the victim did not beware of the murderer, and nine times out of ten he was close to him, and then looked at his family tree, the only relative in the county was the murderer, so he was the most suspicious, but he did not expect that he was as timid as a mouse, and he confessed before he was tortured. ”

In the hall, Wu Degui and others blushed like jujubes, they were panicked, he tried this case at the beginning, but he was determined to be a thief, and he did not suspect the nephew of the victim.

It's also that Wu Degui didn't bother to investigate the case at all, after all, there is not only one unsolved case, besides, even if there is an unsolved case, it is the county Cheng who is responsible, at that time Wu Degui knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to be the county magistrate, so he had a mind, no matter who would do the county, as long as it was not him, he would have to deal with these pending cases.

But now that Chu Xian has solved the murder case so easily, Wu Degui naturally feels shameless, but at this time, he can't say anything, so he can only keep a gloomy face and not speak.

The people of his line, including the canon Zhang Zhong, were also silent.

The hall has already been lit up, it is already daytime, and the night is dark.

Wu Degui and the others saw that Chu Xian was going to continue, and they didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, and finally they couldn't hold it anymore, who else was, they couldn't stand it all day in the hall.

After thinking about it, Wu Degui said: "The county lord is diligent and admirable, but now the time is not early, and many things are not in a hurry, and the remaining cases are better to be tried another day, we are not tired, and the people below can't hold it." ”

As soon as he said this, many officials and officials were looking forward to it, to be honest, in the early morning, many of them really didn't take the new county officials seriously, but after this day, they all obeyed.

If you don't accept it, you can't.

Not only is it incomparably neat in handling official affairs and trying cases, almost all the conditions can be convincing, and the majesty of the hall has been thoroughly established in one day.

Who is not afraid of this new county magistrate now?

Cai Wenna is also a clerk from Jiupin, and he is also the number one person in the county, but he was directly dismissed early in the morning, and he is estimated to have to eat a lawsuit, and I don't know if Lord Wu can keep him.

Who is not afraid of this means alone?

In addition, everyone is really tired and tired, and they only hope that the county lord will come here first, otherwise they will really be unable to bear it.

Chu Xian smiled slightly at this time and said, "In this case, then retreat and continue tomorrow." ”

After saying that, he got up and walked away.

Wu Degui felt that his legs were numb, although he was blessed with the holy power of the official canon, but he did not practice martial arts and immortal exercises, and he was a little sleepy after sitting all day.

But he knew there were a few more important things to deal with.

One is the matter of Cai Wenwen.

The other party was dismissed from his official position by Chu Xian in the name of unclear accounts and forged account books, and was put in prison for trial.

For this, Wu Degui is confident.

Even if Cai Wenwen's crime is confirmed, as long as he thinks of making up for some shortcomings, he can turn a big thing into a small matter, and at most, this matter is to make Cai Wenwen lose his official position, but as long as the person is fine, I believe that Cai Wenwen still knows very well what to say and what not to say, because once he leaks his mouth, it is not as simple as losing his official position, and losing his life is light.

There is another point, Wu Degui wants to think of ways to bring the new clerical officer Xia Bozhong over, this clerical officer is extremely important, and he must be controlled by his own people.

So after going back, Wu Degui instructed his subordinates, saying that he set up a banquet and invited Xia Bozhong to come to the banquet, after all, after a tiring day, they were all sleepy and hungry.

It's just that his men went down for a while and then turned back and said, "That Xia Wen said that the night is dark, and he has good intentions, but the banquet is over." ”

"Hmph!" Wu Degui slapped the table and scolded: "This surnamed Xia is still so ignorant!"

But for a while, Wu Degui had no other way, he could only take one step at a time, the big deal, the idea of pouring some dirty water on Na Xia Bozhong and getting the other party down, or, directly dealing with Chu Xian, as long as Chu Xian left Dinghai County, just a Xia Bozhong, he didn't want to pinch it, just pinch it.

Wu Degui poured himself a glass of wine at this time, then raised his glass to the sky, and muttered: "No matter how you toss, this Dinghai County is still mine after all." ”
