high official

Chapter 13 The magistrate's decision

　There is a story circulating in the official circles of the capital, saying that a foreign official met a Beijing official, and the foreign official said: "I love the Beijing official and I have a tooth card." But the Beijing official said, "I prefer foreign officials to have yamen." '

Pai Ya is also called "Xiao Shang Chao".The emperor's old son ascended to the imperial court in the Jinluan Hall in the capital, while the county magistrates ascended to the imperial court in the local county government.Although it is a typical dojo with the head of a fly, the head of a mosquito, and a snail shell, the etiquette and system cannot be abandoned.At Maoshi every day, the county government fired cannons, and the county magistrate, master book, instruction, decree, classics, inspection, post office, tax supervisor...these sesame mung bean officials wearing black gauze, and the six house officials The subordinate officials in black shirts, the pawns, and the leaders of the third class all stood in the second hall in separate shifts.

After the second bang was knocked, the hall drums sounded, and the chief follower came out and sang loudly: "The county honor has been promoted to the hall!" '

The county magistrate held square steps, turned out from behind the screen of 'Sea Sea Asahi', and sat down behind the big case.

All the officials came together to pay their respects and sang loudly: "Greetings to the Lord!"

Then the county magistrate called for free, and invited all the assistant officials to sit down.A group of subordinate officials are not qualified to sit, so they can only stand and listen to the Elder Master's speech.

The county master said it above, but all the officials were looking at their noses and noses, and their minds were distracted... They just hoped that it would end quickly, so that they could go back to their respective yamen, and then use their own officials to show off their prestige.

The yamen in this kind of county is just like a national dynasty, just a ceremony.For serious official business, there are paperwork exchanges and individual meetings. Only when a resolution is formed, will it be announced here.

There may be quite a few official fans who are never tired of trying to arrange government offices, but Wei Yuan, the magistrate of Fuyang County, is only 29 years old this year.As soon as he saw those faces in the hall who looked respectful but actually had their own ulterior motives, he wanted to beat them all!
It's a pity that I can only think about it...

After exchanging pleasantries, he said a few clichés, and Wei Zhixian asked all the officials if there was anything to play?

Seeing that everyone was silent, he nodded slightly, and the long follower immediately sang: "Leave the hall!"

All the officials hurriedly stood up and cupped their hands: "Send off to the hall lord."

Wei Zhixian bowed his hands to everyone, then turned behind the screen and returned to his signing room.

Another long follower changed his clothes for him, and then served tea. Wei Zhixian used two pieces of snacks, and felt that his mood was not so bad, so he asked, "Who is outside?"

Chang Sui reported, "It's Hu Butou."

"Let him come in." Wei Zhixian still has a good impression of Hu Buliu, at least he is conscientious about what he confessed.

After Hu Buliu came in, he gave a deep bow and said, "See you, Tang Zun."

"What's the matter?" Wei Zhixian's face was as dark as water. As the head of a county, he couldn't let others see his likes and dislikes.

"I have something important to report in my humble position." Hu Buliu said in a low voice.

"You go down first." Wei Zhixian waved his hand, and the chief casually exited the signing room and closed the door.

"Let's talk." Wei Zhixian nodded, Hu Buliu leaned closer, and said in a low voice, "Does the magistrate remember the wounding case before you took office? It was the son of Wang Xingye, the criminal secretary in the county. The one who was beaten to death."

"Hmm." Wei Zhixian just remembered.Because it was a case before he took office, and the injured should have been injured due to a gambling dispute, he was not considered a good citizen, so it was just a routine investigation, and it was settled.

"The injured Wang Xian is awake now." Hu Buliu said softly.

The magistrate of Wei County was surprised when he heard the words: "It's not worth dying."

"This morning, Wang Xian's elder brother, Wang Gui, reported to the villain," Hu Buliu said in a low voice following Father Wang's instructions, "His younger brother was injured not because of a gambling dispute, but because he was silenced."

"Kill it?" Wei Zhixian frowned. An ordinary injury case is going to develop into a major case?

"According to Wang Xian, at that time he had already asked someone to write a pleading paper, and planned to stop the elder and call for injustice on the day the elder took office." Hu Buliu said: "In the end, he leaked the news somehow, and was almost silenced..."

"What is he calling for?" Wei Zhixian frowned even more tightly.

Hu Buliu took a deep breath, and Fang said in a low voice, "The case of Lin Rongxing murdering his wife."

"..." Wei Zhixian thumped in his heart, secretly thinking that it was indeed the case of the murder of a scholar who brought down his predecessor!

After he took office, the Lin family also handed in a petition to appeal for grievances. The pleadings listed all kinds of doubtful points in the case.How could he offend a bunch of officials from the province and the capital just because of a few suspicious points?

Therefore, Wei Zhixian only said that the case had been handed over to the sub-inspector, and he had no right to intervene.Later, I heard that the Lin family was so indomitable that they went to Hangzhou to file a complaint with the Procuratorate, and then went to Nanjing. It is rumored that some senior officials have agreed to re-examine the case in the autumn trial!

What's more terrible is that Zhou Xin, the new Zhejiang Inspectorate, is known for being good at breaking prisons. He is known as "cold face and cold iron". It is said that the Lin family also sued him.
Wei Zhixian had agreed with the teacher early on that the Lin family had no evidence, so as long as he stayed out of the matter, no one could make a mistake.It's time to make a pot of tea and just sit and watch the wind and clouds rise.When the dust settles, you will still be yourself and won't cause any trouble.

So Wei Zhixian calmed down quickly, and said slowly: "I heard that Wang Er is a loafing shabby settler, so his words may not be credible."

"Tang Zun is right." Hu Buliu nodded and said, "But Wang Xian provided a clue, the humble one must report to Ming Tang Zun."

"speak."

"Wang Xian said that the Zhao family is not dead, but is hiding in..." Hu Buliu's voice became softer and weaker, only Wei Zhixian could hear it.

"What!" Wei Zhixian was stunned and speechless for a long time, then whispered for a long time: "How credible do you think?"

"I think it's better to believe what you have than to trust what you don't have!" Hu Buliu repeated what Old Wang taught him: "Since the Lin family has brought this case to the province, with Zhou Jietai's character, it is likely to be done carefully. Inquiring. What if he comes to supervise the investigation in person during the autumn trial?"

"Hmm..." Wei Zhixian's hairs stood on end when he thought of that Zhou Jietai.According to the legend, this is a master Qingtian who sees the details and is good at solving strange cases.When I came to Zhejiang earlier this year, those people who were wronged and imprisoned cried with joy and said, 'I must live. 'When Zhou Xin came to office, he really judged the case like a god, and he did it by surprise, making it hard for those officials who corrupted the law to guard against it.

For example, once, in order to understand the truth of a case, he went on a visit in disguise, intentionally offended the county magistrate of Shanyin, and was arrested and imprisoned.In prison, he learned from the prisoners that the magistrate was corrupt and broke the law, so he impeached and punished corrupt officials, which became a good talk for a while.

But for officials under his rule, it was an out-and-out nightmare.For such an adult from Taiwan who loves private visits in micro-services and likes to go to jail, the following prefectures and counties dare not be careless for a moment. Not only do they not dare to arrest people randomly, but even the prisoners in the prison cells must be treated as ancestors. It's just impossible.

It is estimated that the Lin family resolutely took control after hearing his deeds...

.

After recovering from the wild thoughts, Wei Zhixian asked Hu Butou to go down first, and then invited Mr. Sima, the teacher.

Mr. Sima is an old scholar. He taught and worked in the yamen. Later, he was recommended to be a teacher under the curtain of Weizhi County... Of course, it is not popular to be called a teacher these days, but a teacher. In fact, it is the same thing Son.

He was sleeping late at the back, but when he heard that the county magistrate was looking for him, he hurriedly put on his clothes and washed his face, and hurried to the signing room, where he saw that the county magistrate was constipated, as if something was difficult to resolve.

"Dong Weng, you are looking for me."

"Mr. is here, give me an idea." Wei Zhixian hurriedly asked him to sit down, and told Mr. Sima what Hu Butou reported just now.

"Oh..." Mr. Sima twitched a few goatees, and after listening to it, he pondered for a moment and said, "Dong Weng, we know that Mrs. Zhao is still alive, so we should stop pretending to be deaf and dumb. What if someone else breaks the In the case, Dong Weng said it was dereliction of duty at a light level, but at a serious level it was an accomplice."

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and said, "What's more, this case is full of twists and turns and involves a lot. If it can be reversed, it will definitely shake the whole country! People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, but officials are most afraid of not being famous! Think about it, the Ministry of Criminal Justice has already The case that was approved was reversed by you, Dong Weng will surely become famous all over the country and become a famous official like Zhou Jietai, so why worry about his future in the future?"

"Sir, it's too far away..." Wei Zhixian couldn't help but look forward to it, but he still couldn't admit it.

"Then let's take a step back." Mr. Sima said excitedly, "If Dong Weng can solve this case, at least he can establish his prestige in the county. Let's see who dares to follow the law?"

It turns out that since Wei Zhixian took office, the officials in the county have bullied him because he is young and has no background, but he is troublesome. hurry up...

After hearing Mr. Sima's words, Wei Zhixian finally told the truth: "To tell you the truth, I think so too." He sighed and said: "But this case is an investigation and finalization. If I rashly intervene, I will definitely make him angry. .This person is the most narrow-minded, and it can be seen from his treatment of my predecessor. If Wang Xian lied, he would kill me."

"Dong Weng's words are reasonable, but Wang Xianfeng's comments are not good, so don't trust his words." Master Sima nodded and said: "How about this, I will go to his house quietly tonight to find out the truth, if what he said is wrong False, let's make further calculations."

"Well, it's not in a hurry right now." Wei Zhixian nodded and said, "But you must not let the wind leak." Obviously, the balance in his heart is already inclined to meddle in this business.

"If Dong Weng is worried," Master Sima said with a smile, "you might as well send a messenger to the punishment room, let them make up a confession for Wang Xian, and close his case."

Wei Zhixian thought about it, clapped his palms and praised: "Great kindness, false and true, who can predict it!"
