Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 186 Excuse me, do you have any...

The prison history officer and the chief of the prison gate were looking at Chen Zhi with a wry smile. Beside them were nearly ten pen-writers, who were hurriedly recording Chen Zhi's words.

Only a small part of these recorders were scribes from the original volume collection library, and the others were transferred from various departments. Liu Jing, who was specifically mentioned before, was one of them.

This person is a descendant of the Liu family in Pengcheng. He is also from a wealthy family and has the same clan as Liu Gang and others. His ancestors were county magistrates and his fathers were both county magistrates. However, due to the Xuanwu Northern Expedition, the official career of the family was disrupted. Now he is just like an ordinary commoner. There is not much difference, but since he has a family background, it is already considered good to get a position in the government.

This person did things quickly and swiftly, so as soon as he came, he became the leader of many writers. Now, as soon as he wrote a few words, he went over to negotiate with Chen Zhi, asking for key points, as if he was a superior and a subordinate. .

When Chen Zhi came just now, he asked someone to bring over a dozen files, and then flipped through them quickly. After reading for a while, he began to point out the key points in it. It should have been a good thing that many old cases were brought to light. But both the prison history officer and the prison gate chief were a little scared.

The place where prisoners were held yesterday was almost full. Are they going to come again today?

In addition, doesn’t it also appear that they are incompetent?Besides, at this point, how could anyone not see that this young master of the Chen family came here just to make a big splash!
"We can't go on like this. If we really let this person continue to do it, we can't explain it at all." Seeing Chen Zhi explaining the key points to Liu Jing, and the latter silently nodding to record, the prison history felt bitter in his heart.

In fact, in just that moment, another seven or eight cases came to light. There were many people involved in the case. In addition, Zaoli was short of manpower. The prison history and the prison chief had to intercede with Chen Zhi, hoping to get it first. Write down the matter, and wait for the manpower to slow down before arresting people.

"For this reason, I'm afraid it won't be delayed for long." Prison History shook his head.

"Are you going to persuade him?" the prison pavilion chief asked. He did not dare to directly persuade Chen Zhi. This man was self-aware and knew that his identity was insignificant in front of Chen Zhi.

Prison History looked in one direction and said, "Let's look for him."

Zhou Tianzheng was standing there, like a guard, protecting Chen Zhi.

The head of the prison gate nodded, walked slowly over, called Zhou Tian to the corner, and then whispered: "Zhou Tian, ​​please talk to Young Master Chen, can you wait for two days? You also know our situation. Not so much, some cells have been set up in the county jail, but this is to allow the county to deal with the inmates in the next six months, but as a result, they were almost full in one day yesterday, and there is almost no room left. "

The prisoners who attacked Zhuge Yan occupied the county prison cells. It was not that the cells here were stronger, but that the cells in the county were too big. It would consume too many resources to imprison those thieves.

As soon as the county government office was occupied, all the prisoners detained there were moved to an old cell. Although it had been abandoned for a long time, it could still be used reluctantly after repairs. However, what Chen Zhi did yesterday made that place unusable. It's totally not enough.

Seeing the prison chief talking to him like this, Zhou Tian felt very relieved, but he knew about his own affairs. Chen Zhi said he was here to help him, but in fact he had other purposes. Even trying to persuade him would not work. Besides, Chen Zhi said he was here to help him. This prison gate chief used to give me little shoes to wear, but now he comes to ask for help again?

Thinking about it, Zhou Tian shook his head and said: "Ting Zhang Mingjian, it's not that I don't want to persuade, but it's useless if I persuade. How can a gentleman of the Chen family listen to me, right? Even you dare not go forward , What’s the use of me going to support you?”

Upon hearing this, the Prison Gate Pavilion Chief gritted his teeth and nodded, "What you said makes sense."

The reason is reasonable, but the problem is still not resolved.

Just as the two prison guards were getting more and more anxious, a Zaoli came from outside, came to the two of them and said something, which immediately made both of them look surprised, and then nodded to express their understanding.

The jailer whispered: "You stay here and watch, I'll go over."

After the division of labor between the two was completed, the prison historian calmly exited the volume collection hall and walked to the corridor outside the house, where he saw the figure of the county magistrate Yang Yong.

"I have met the county magistrate." The prison history was not surprised at Yang Yong's arrival. Seeing Chen Zhi coming again today, he knew that the news could not be concealed, and he consciously narrated the matter without waiting for Yang Yong to take the initiative to ask. Once, and then plead guilty.

"The lower officials made their own decisions and are willing to shoulder the responsibility."

"You did nothing wrong in this matter," Yang Yong waved his hand, "If it were me, I would have suppressed him first in that situation, but you miscalculated one thing."

The prison history officer quickly pretended to be asking for advice humbly and asked: "Where are the omissions? I would like the county magistrate to give me some advice."

"You forgot, the person who did this was Chen Zhi..." The county magistrate's words were full of emotion, and he was obviously deeply touched. It was really unbearable to look back on the past events.

The jailer was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Then...how does the county magistrate think this should be handled?"

Just as the two people were talking, Zhou Tian suddenly walked out of the volume collection hall. He was about to greet the prison history, but suddenly saw Yang Yong. He was startled and wanted to say hello, but Yang Yong waved his hand to stop him. He beckoned over again.

Zhou Tian looked into the room, then withdrew his gaze, trotted quickly to Yang Yong, bowed respectfully, and then said: "I have met the county magistrate."

Yang Yong smiled and said: "Don't be cautious. I have met you before. I heard that you and Chen Zhi are very close. What do you want to do when you come out?"

Seeing a county magistrate looking kindly to him, Zhou Tian felt happy, knowing that he was in Chen Zhi's favor, but he didn't dare to take advantage of it in front of the county magistrate, so he said respectfully: "It was Mr. Chen who asked me to come out. If something happens, I want to ask about the prison history.”

Prison Shi's heart thumped, and he had a bad feeling, but he still asked: "What do you want to ask me?" "I want to ask, do you have... that... anything else that can be used to break it?" Old case."

No, get out!

Although the prison history wanted to answer this way, thinking about Chen Zhi behind Zhou Tian, ​​he had to be patient and ask for details in detail.

But Yang Yong became confused: "This room full of cases is not enough for Chen Zhi to read? Isn't it the second time he has come here today, and he has finished reading it now?"

Zhou Tian immediately replied respectfully: "Master Chen feels that with his speed, he can handle all the cases in the house in three or four days. There are still some cases that are too old or there are really no clues." , so I want to find more cases to solve."

Among the files handled by Chen Zhi, it is not true that there is no success. There are still some cases that have no beginning and no end, and the records are unclear and difficult to make decisions. But after all, they are only a minority. Excluding these parts, Chen Zhi actually said that they can be handled in three or four days. It's really shocking.

If this kind of processing speed really spreads...

"The truth has spread. In our Pengcheng County, no, in the entire Pengcheng County, who dares to say that he knows more about investigating and solving cases than Chen Zhi?"

Suddenly, Yang Yong's heart moved.

"If no one knows how to solve cases better than Chen Zhi, then his influence will affect the special envoy. Could it be that Chen Zhi has this intention?"

When they heard that Chen Zhi had meddled in the country's backlog of cases before, no matter Tao Ya and the others, or Xu Hui and the others, they all had doubts, that is, why did he choose rural trivial matters.

Now that Yang Yongfu has reached his spiritual level, many seemingly unreasonable things suddenly make sense logically.

But the current problem is...

"County Magistrate, what should we do?" Prison History looked at Zhou Tian, ​​then at Yang Yong, and asked helplessly, "The cells are no longer enough. If we let it go..."

"Let Young Master Chen solve the case first," Yang Yong said decisively, "No one has stipulated that once the case is solved, the person must be arrested immediately. The most important thing in the city now is to cooperate with the special envoy to find out the origin of the culprit. Everything else can be postponed. .”

The prison historian immediately understood that this was using the special envoy as an excuse to relieve the pressure on the cell.

"understood."

With Yang Yong's instructions, the rest of the matter was much simpler. But even so, after three days, Chen Zhi finished judging 150 seven cases in one breath, and still shocked the county government from top to bottom. Speak up.

As for the prison history officer and the prison gate chief, they could only look at each other and smile bitterly when they looked at the long list of people waiting to be arrested.

At the same time, the news that Chen Zhi had concluded the case finally spread in the city, attracting a lot of criticism. It seemed that there was someone behind it with some bad intentions.

It happened that during the dinner, Taigong Liu, Taigong Peng, Taigong Zhang and others were drinking in Yage and chatting about the recent situation. When they heard the news, they immediately became happy.

"Chen Shouyi really doesn't stop. Didn't he say that he was recruiting servants and training servants? Why did he go to solve a case again? How many cases have he solved?" Grandpa Zhang looked at the news and smiled while stroking his beard.

After hearing the news, Taigong Liu frowned and said, "It's too much to say that we solved thirty or forty cases in one go."

The source of the news circulating in the city is unknown, but it does not come from the Scroll Library, so there is a discrepancy in the number.

"I don't think Chen Shouyi can't do it," Taigong Peng glanced at Taigong Liu and said with a smile, "If it had been before Zhuge Wang Mi, I might have doubted it, but Chen Shouyi has even martial arts. , I don’t believe that he can’t do anything anymore. With this person, our Pengcheng noble clan may really be able to rise. After all, since the late emperor, our northern noble clan has been..."

"Old Peng, you can't say this casually, be careful that walls have ears." Taigong Liu waved his hand to stop Taigong Peng, and then said, "When did I say that I don't believe that Chen Zhi can solve the case? I mean he solved it this time." There are too many things, and the purpose is too strong. It should be done step by step, but this is in line with his style."

Several old ladies were talking there, but the disciples waiting beside them looked at each other in confusion.

Among them were Peng Lin, Peng Qi, Liu Miao and others. When they heard about solving the case, they immediately thought of the rumors related to Yu Shi Yu Liang.

But when I thought about it, I felt that Chen Zhi's choice of doing things in the countryside was too low-key. Compared with Yu Liang's major court case, he was clearly superior. How come his grandfather and other elders were not worried at all, and they were still talking about it. Are you vaguely optimistic about Chen Zhi?
Considering that the elder had seen a lot, a few people wanted to ask for some life experience.

The first one to speak was Liu Gang, who was the most caring. He walked forward, cupped his hands and said: "Grandfather, several venerables, I have also heard about Brother Chen. I heard that it has something to do with the imperial censor Yu Liang. Could it be this?" The act of solving the case is a response? Just to offend the censor in this way..."

　Thanks to "Falling in Love with Xiao He" and "Li Xiaoxianxian" for the rewards!Speed ​​up the completion of this volume. This is the end of the Pengcheng volume. Why divide it into volumes directly? Because it is too troublesome to think of a volume name.
