Daming talker

Chapter 169
On July [-], Governor Yingtian Wei Lin's boat entered Suzhou Mansion along the canal, stayed at Hushu Pass that night, and planned to enter Suzhou City the next day.

In the early morning of the next day, July [-]th, people were already standing on the bank outside Fengqiao, ready to welcome the governor to move to Suzhou city.

This was probably one of the most complete occasions for Suzhou city officials to make their appearances. Officials above the seventh rank of the government office, the county magistrates and county magistrates of the two county offices all attended the scene.

The Zhu prefect of Suzhou Prefecture puts on airs most of the time, and he is not too condescending in front of the king and old leader. At this time, he also has to take the lead and stand on the shore respectfully and humbly.

In addition to the government office and county office, the military officers of Suzhou Weizheng rank five and above were also present. After all, the governor is still in charge of military affairs, which is different from ordinary local officials.

Even Lin Tailai had never dealt with people from the Bingbei Road Yamen in Su Songchang Town who had a low sense of presence in Suzhou City, and they also appeared.

Some people may ask, why is Xing Tong, the censor of Jiangnan patrol, not here?Because he left Suzhou a long time ago.

This is a kind of political tacit understanding of "the king does not see the king". If the governor comes to Suzhou, the inspector will go to the surrounding areas of Nanjing.

Two figures with the title of imperial envoy cannot gather in one place, otherwise the place will be at a loss.

In addition to officials, there are common representatives of local gentry and elders.

All in all, officials, gentry, scholars, and civilians formed a delegation to welcome the governor. Other merchants, happy households, and the like were not worthy of appearing in the delegation.

Of course, there are fewer representatives of "shi" today than normal, and the water content is relatively large.

Because August is the Nanzhili Township Examination, some talented scholars will go to Nanjing to catch the exam at this time, and they are not in Suzhou.

Therefore, some people were able to confuse their eyes with others and sneaked into the group of scholars.

The second master of the Shen family, who rarely appeared in public in the past two or three years, started talking to Wang Yusheng, who was also from a wealthy family, after walking around the venue a few times.

One is the son of today's chief assistant, and the other is the great-grandson of Zeng Ge's elder brother. They are similar in age and have a common language.

It's definitely not because neither of them has any fame at present, they are both mixed in.

After that, Mr. Lin also appeared on the bank outside Fengqiao, easily crossed the blockade and entered the field.

Then after scanning around, he automatically came to Shen Yongjia's side.

Second Master Shen asked in surprise, "Why did a person like you come in?"

This is a delegation to welcome the governor, not a group of soil turtles to welcome the magistrate, there is no place for low-level wild sages.

Although it was the unintentional remark of the noble son Zaifu, it still made Mr. Lin a little upset.

So he ignored Second Master Shen, and instead turned his head to Wang Yusheng and asked, "Why did a person like you come in?"

This question was exactly the same as what Shen Erye said just now, even the tone was exactly the same, which was a bit provocative.

Wang Yusheng immediately retorted: "Even people like you can come in, why can't I come in?"

Senior official Lin replied proudly: "The governor is in charge of the army, and he is in charge of the people, both civil and military.

And I, Lin Tailai, as the only martial arts student in Suzhou City Jinke, it is only natural that I appear here as a representative of martial arts. "

Wang Yusheng: "."

Fuck!Since I was a child, I have never been so disgusting!

However, Lin Tailai didn't finish his words, and continued to say harshly:

"I can't compare to Yu Wang Yusheng, who doesn't even have any fame, but just because he was born into a good family, he can appear here as a scholar representative."

Wang Yusheng's face was ashen but he didn't say anything, but the Second Young Master Shen suddenly said angrily: "Who are you talking about!"

Lin Tailai immediately pointed to Wang Yusheng, and replied without hesitation: "Of course it's about him! But second master of the Shen family, why do you look so ugly?"

Second Master Shen jumped up and wanted to hit someone, but was easily dodged by Lin Tailai who dared not fight back.

Feeling that the boat of friendship was about to capsize if he continued talking, Mr. Lin just stopped talking.

These three people who were out of place with other "gentry" stood together awkwardly.

In the morning, the governor's boat finally appeared in front of everyone on the shore.

All etiquette has rules to follow, the ship landed first, the governor came out of the cabin and stood on the bow deck.

Lin Tailai quickly raised his eyes to look around the boat, his expression extremely focused.

Seeing this, Wang Yusheng couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Your Excellency, have you never seen such a big official? Hurry up and take a look as long as you can. It will open your eyes!"

Lin Tai replied without turning his head, "It's just like you, an ignorant rookie, who stares at the governor! How can a knowledgeable person be as ignorant as you!"

For some reason, Second Master Shen next to him felt being "pointed at and scolded" again, and asked with a cold snort, "Then tell me, what is knowledgeable!"

Official Lin replied casually: "The people who really know how to do it carefully observe the people who accompany the governor carefully!

What can you tell just by looking at the governor himself?Only by looking at the accompanying personnel around the governor can it be possible to see the way. "

Unconsciously, Second Master Shen looked towards the bow of the ship again, and found that the accompanying person who was closest to the governor this time was a middle-aged man in white clothes with a greasy face.

"Who is this?" Second Master Shen said subconsciously.

But Wang Yusheng called out softly: "It turned out to be Xi Siwei, one of the several great officials of the Xi family in Xishan!"

The Wang family is the Wang family of East Dongting Mountain, and the Xi family is the Xi family of West Dongting Mountain. They are both powerful families of the Dongting Merchant Gang. There are marriages between the two families, so it is not surprising that Wang Yusheng knows Xi Siwei.

But obviously, Wang Yusheng was also surprised that Xi Siwei appeared beside the governor.

Lin Tailai was also very surprised when he heard Wang Yusheng's exclamation, it turned out that this person was Xi Dachaofeng in the mouth of those people at the entrance of Hudong Hall!

He never understood where the real confidence of that Xi Dachaofeng was.

Even if the Dongting Merchant Gang is powerful, even if the Xi family is rich and rich, but relying on these alone is still almost meaningless.

But seeing Xi Da Chaofeng standing next to the governor today, he understood.

Lin Tailai took a deep look at Wang Yusheng again, and said inexplicably, "Congratulations, it seems that you are an ignorant person."

Wang Yusheng thought and thought, but he didn't figure out what this sentence meant.

Second Master Shen did understand, thinking of Fan Yunlin's "warning" earlier, he guessed the situation.

The imperial honor of this Xi may be the person who Fan Yunlin didn't disclose, who wanted to deal with Lin Tailai and seize the Lin family's foundation.

It's not in vain to sneak in here today with the cheek.

While thinking about it, he said to Lin Tai, "That's the governor."

Lin Tailai also heard the meaning behind the words, and asked back: "Even you know? Are you afraid?"

Second Lord Shen half-truthfully said: "How can I be afraid, what can a mere governor do to me? What I'm afraid of is that you will implicate me.

If you feel that you are going to collapse, don't take advantage of outsiders, and take the initiative to deliver it to your door.

Let me kill you with my own hands, so the credit will be mine, and it will be the best for you. "

Lin Tailai: "."

Sure enough, everyone can make progress, and Second Young Master Shen is no exception.

It is true that as Lin Tailai said, what kind of people appear around a big shot is often the most symbolic.

Just like when Yuan Zhixian took office, Li Jixuan, a famous scholar from Zhenzhou, accompanied Yuan Zhixian. Through this, he could immediately judge Yuan Zhixian's behavior style.

When the governor made his debut today, the accompanying person was a big businessman, which was very rare, and it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

But everyone didn't say anything on the surface, pretending not to notice anything, and proceeded as the welcome ceremony should.

According to the rules, after the governor came ashore, officials from the government office and the two county yamen took turns to see the governor in turn.

After the government office, Deng He, the magistrate of Wu County, and Guo Tong, the prime minister of Guanliang County, stepped forward.

At this time, Governor Wei suddenly said to Deng Zhixian: "Although our hospital was not in Suzhou a few months ago, we also heard about a strange event in your county."

The boss's out-of-the-ordinary, sudden-attack questioning is the most annoying to the subordinates.

Fortunately, Deng Zhixian has been trained by Lin Tailai to have a strong tolerance, and he resisted the physical discomfort and replied, "Which one is Dazhong Cheng referring to?"

Governor Wei then said: "This court heard that eight cases involving the same defendant were dismissed at the same time. It is simply an anecdote in the world."

Objectively speaking, there is nothing wrong with this sentence. Anyone who hears this kind of thing thinks it is weird, but it really happened.

But if the governor asked about this matter as soon as he landed, it must be more than just a casual question.

Regardless of being impolite, Deng Zhixian raised his head in astonishment. Could it be that Da Zhongcheng still wants to reopen the old case?

After the rest of the people heard it, they couldn't help discussing in a low voice, and there were quite a few peeking at Lin Tailai.

The so-called "eight cases involving the same defendant" must refer to the eight lawsuits against Lin Tailai received by Deng Zhixian when he first took office.

The inside story of this matter is still a bit vague. It can only be said that what happened was wonderful, and it ended very strangely. The eight plaintiffs all dropped the case in a short time.

Also, the dignified frontier official mentioned Lin Tailai as soon as he landed, just like when Dengzhi County of Wu County took office.

Could it be that Mr. Lin's influence is already so great?Already jumped directly from the county-level bully to the provincial level?
Seeing that Deng Zhixian was stunned and silent, Governor Wei asked in a deep voice, "Is there such a thing?"

Deng Zhixian came back to his senses and replied: "There is indeed such a thing."

Governor Wei continued: "After hearing this, the court felt that there might be something strange about this matter, and it has always been kept in mind.

Gui County may wish to re-trial to clarify the facts of the case, especially to explain why the plaintiffs of the eight petitions were dismissed almost at the same time. "

Deng Zhixian immediately scolded his mother in his heart, why the case was dismissed at the same time, and it was not because he, the county magistrate, could not go on trial!
Those eight complaints were all deliberately planned by Mr. Zheng and the anti-Lin Tailai forces with the acquiescence of his Dengzhi County, but it didn't work in the end.

Since it is no longer effective, of course the case must be dismissed, otherwise why keep it?
Deng Zhixian could only reply vaguely: "All the cases have been dismissed. If there is no special need, they will generally not be reopened."

Seeing that Magistrate Deng did not give a positive response, Governor Wei said displeasedly, "What? What's wrong with your county that you don't want to retrial?"

When everyone on the shore heard this, they all looked at Lin Tailai again, what kind of face does this man have?
As long as they are officials who can control you, they will regard you as an "anti-criminal model" after their appearance?
It was like this last time in Deng Zhi County, and now it is the same for Governor Wei.

But as half of the parties involved, Deng Zhixian is of course unwilling!He no longer wants to bring up the old case again!
The reason is simple. It is no good for him to retry these cases.

Even if the defendant Lin Tailai can be sentenced, it will show that he was ignorant and indulged the defendant at the beginning!
Moreover, this is still a matter of exposing scars. It will only remind Deng Zhixian of the humiliation he has suffered. How could he be happy?

Seeing that Wu County was not willing to actively cooperate, Governor Wei looked at the government officials again and asked, "How about letting the government take over the eight cases?"

Zhu Zhifu glanced at Liu Tuiguan, and replied: "The criminal name case is a matter for the Tuiguan Office, and the Tuiguan can decide."

Liu Tuiguan showed a troubled look on his face, it's not that he has never tried Lin Tailai, he knows how difficult Lin Tailai is.

Once bitten, twice shy.

It is really too difficult to deal with the case where the eight plaintiffs have already withdrawn their lawsuits, and the defendant is still riding the horse.And it must be thankless and totally worthless!
Even if I handle these eight cases at any cost, what benefits can you, the governor, give me?Can it make people go up to three levels in a row?

So Liu Tuiguan also replied, "Xiaguan shares the same opinion as Wu County. There is really no need to reopen the case that has been dismissed."

Governor Wei really didn't expect that the first thing he mentioned after he went ashore, the county government and the government office pushed the government office to resist at the same time!
This was beyond his expectation. Could it be that he is a fake governor?
Or is it that a certain evil force has become rampant and overwhelmed the sky with one hand?

The reason why Governor Wei forced the county and government offices to restart the case instead of taking over the case himself was also due to official rules.

After all, in theory, the governor is not an official who is close to the people. While the imperial court system does not allow leapfrogging appeals, it generally does not allow leapfrogging cases.

It would be a joke for a governor to reach down and be directly responsible for grassroots justice through an unknown number of levels.

This is a bit stiff, and I feel a little uneasy on my face. Governor Wei was full of anger, and reprimanded the officials:

"This court has served in various places for many years, and the official principle we follow is to love the people like children!

Isn't it suspicious that the eight cases of the same defendant were dismissed at the same time?

This is as many as eight cases, and I don't know how many families have been affected!
You and other officials of these prefectures and counties should be close to the people, but they turn a deaf ear to doubts and turn a blind eye!
Such evasion from top to bottom and deliberate indulgence of tyrants and bullies is simply collusion to bully common people. How can this court just sit idly by? "

Mr. Futai's words were so upright and awe-inspiring, both in and out of the words revealed a strong light of righteousness, so righteous that the officials present did not know how to respond.

Da Zhongcheng's words, if they are correct, must be correct, but the situation is not like that.

In the cold room, someone suddenly shouted loudly: "Okay! What Dazhong Cheng said is excellent! The people of Suzhou really welcomed a Grandpa Qingtian!"

Who is so ignorant and ignorant, doesn't know what political self-cultivation is, and dares to speak so casually?Everyone immediately followed the sound.

It turned out that the person who spoke was actually Lin Tailai!Lin Tailai, the sole defendant in those eight cases!
This is a bit magical. What kind of operation is a tyrannical man calling Qing Tian to an official who insists on sentencing him?
