high official

Chapter 436
"What?" Zhifu He was startled at first, but then he relaxed again, and said with a smile, "Hehe, my business trip lied to me again..."

"He is your old boss, and you should give him a ride out of love and reason." Wang Xian said slowly: "The legal principle is nothing more than human feelings. I can let you pay filial piety. Did I lie to you?" , we will know when the time comes."

"I'm not trying to make people fool me." Magistrate He still didn't believe it, stood up and said, "Since my superior asked me to go, I'd rather be respectful than obedient, at least I can go out to get some air."

"That's the reason." Wang Xian nodded, and told Zhou Yong: "Take a few people to escort Mr. He to the Fantai Yamen to express condolences, and pay attention to protect Mr. He's safety."

"Yes." Zhou Yong responded, and said sideways: "Master He, please."

"..." Magistrate He was stunned for a moment, could it be that what Wang Xian said was true?Immediately, he felt a little self-conscious: "Sir, do you really want me to go?"

Wang Xian closed his eyes and waved his hand.Zhou Yong urged: "Let's go!"

Full of hesitation, Prefect He got into the carriage waiting in the courtyard, and the carriage drove out of the shaft, heading for the governor's office.

Wang Xian summoned the next official, and in the same way, they all got into the carriage and went to Zhang Chun to express their condolences.He is a guy who can use as little effort as possible, Zhang Fantai lying there is worth a thousand words, why waste so much time talking to these difficult guys?

The carriage was driving on a familiar street, but Zhifu He couldn't see what was going on outside, because it was actually a fully enclosed prison carriage.In the car, Prefect He even thought that Wang Xian might want to transfer himself secretly, anyway, he just didn't believe that Zhang Chun was dead.Just as he was racking his brains, thinking about how to report to his own people, he suddenly heard bursts of mourning, and intermittent crying.

Prefect He's heart skipped a beat, and the carriage stopped accordingly, Zhou Yong opened the door and said, "Master He, come down."

Prefect He hesitated for a long time, Fang tremblingly stretched out his hand to hold the door frame, poked his head out to take a look.With just one glance, he could see the majestic and majestic Chief Secretary's Yamen in the past, but now the white flags are long and the banners are stacked... His vision darkened, and he passed out again.

But this time Zhou Yong was not so polite, and directly pinched him to wake him up. Zhifu He slowly opened his eyes and murmured: "This is not true, this is not true!" At this moment, his ears were buzzing, and there was only one thought churning in his mind——Zhang Chun is actually dead, Zhang Chun is really dead!Who else can I rely on?I'm afraid there is only one dead end!

The result he least wanted to imagine, and never imagined, appeared—Zhang Chun died...Suddenly he let go and rushed towards the yamen, Zhou Yong and the others hurriedly followed closely to prevent him Run away or commit suicide...

They obviously worried too much, when Zhifu He entered the yamen, he stumbled and went straight to the mourning hall in the back hall.In the middle of the mourning hall stood a mahogany coffin, which had not yet been sealed.With a scream, he rushed up regardless of everyone's obstruction, and lay down beside the coffin to see that the person lying in the second-rank official uniform was Zhang Chun or who?It's just that at this time he has no breath, his face is stiff, and he is already dead and can't die anymore...

Prefect He clutched the coffin tightly, his throat rattling, and finally let out a earth-shattering cry after a long while, and then let out a loud cry of grief, crying so heart-piercingly that anyone who heard it changed color!Compared with Zhang Fantai's family members, they cried much more tragically, even the filial sons and virtuous grandchildren couldn't help it.

Prefect He cried faintly several times, all the tears were dried up, and he was still howling there, making the people who didn't know the truth secretly surprised, how could Prefect He look like his dead father?Could it be that the rumors that he and Zhang Fantai have a romantic relationship are true?
People are guessing wildly that the detained officials came one after another, all of them were like the prefect He, crying so badly that the mourners couldn't care less about their grief and just watched the situation...

Fortunately, no matter how hard we cried, there was always a moment when we finished crying. Zhou Yong and others helped Zhifu He and others who were paralyzed from crying, and left the mourning hall one by one.At this time, people came to realize that these old people were not crying for Zhang Fantai, but for themselves...

.

When Zhifu He was brought back to Xingyuan and appeared in front of Wang Xian again, although it was only half an hour before and after, he seemed to be 20 years older.The whole person collapsed, slumped on the armchair, with his eyes slightly closed, only his mouth moved, but he didn't hear it, just like an old man suffering from dementia.

Seeing his situation, Wang Xian and Zhou Yong looked at each other in blank dismay. Could it be that the medicine was taken too hard?Isn't this old boy stupid?Why is he so vulnerable?

Fortunately, after waiting for a long time, Zhifu He suddenly stopped muttering to himself, and let out a creepy giggle, slowly raised his head and stared straight at Wang Xiandao: "Okay! Good method! Zhang Chun didn't commit suicide, he was silenced." Bar?"

Wang Xian frowned, and secretly gestured for Wu Wei, who was taking notes, to stop.In fact, Wu Wei would not remember this sentence without his reminder.

"Didn't you want to ask, I'll tell you everything!" Zhifu He leaned forward nervously, and said loudly, "Say Zhang Fantai committed suicide, you can fool others, but you can't fool me... It's not that I look down on him , as for that coward Zhang Chun, he doesn't have the courage to commit suicide at all!"

"In fact, he was committed suicide, and there is only one person in Taiyuan City who has this ability, not you, the imperial envoy, but the one in the Jin Palace! Our case was all initiated because of the Jin King, and it was all to give He wiped his ass and made trouble to this point! Now that he killed Zhang Chun, he must want to cut off the tail of the gecko, let us take the blame for him, and let him take care of himself!" Only hearing Zhifu He waving his hands, hysterical He said: "Ask, ask, I'll tell you everything you want to know! I'll say whatever you ask, and I'll confess whoever is involved!"

"Are you tired of working?" Wang Xian frowned.

"I'm not tired of living," Zhifu He said with a frantic face, "Jin Wang killed Zhang Chun, no one will come to save us, I have to save myself if I don't want to do it for my family! Just ask, as long as you dare to ask, I dare to say anything! I just don’t know if my boss has the guts to listen!”

"I'll ask you right now!" Wang Xian was born with an unscrupulous nature, how could he be overwhelmed by a prisoner, he jumped up and said, "Zhao Changzhen, the magistrate of Fenyang County, how did he die!"

"It's because he secretly kept small accounts, and was discovered by his long follower named Gou San!" The magistrate He really said happily: "Gou San reported it to me, and I reported it to Zhang Fantai, and Zhang Fantai ordered to put him away." He killed it!"

"How did you kill him?" Wang Xian asked.

"At the farewell banquet that day, the feudal lords and Taiwanese took turns to drink alcohol. The magistrate of Zhao County was not able to hold alcohol, so he was so drunk that he passed out." The magistrate He said: "Gou San helped him back to the post house, put him on the bed and lie down. , the surname Zhao was thirsty and asked for tea, Gou San put arsenic in the tea and waited for him to drink it. I cut off his head with an axe. He was supposed to bring Zhao Changzhen's head to me to receive the reward, but somehow he got it wrong and he escaped. Afterwards, the whole province was looking for him, and his whereabouts are still unknown. "

"He fell into my hands." Wang Xian said proudly.

"How is it possible?" Magistrate He didn't believe it, and immediately said, "It was given to you by King Jin, right?"

"No, I found it myself." Wang Xian was a little shameless, but Gou San was desperate and came to the door by himself.But if he hadn't been working hard secretly, Gou San would not have known that the imperial envoy was looking for him.

"Shanghai really makes people have to accept it." Zhifu He gave a thumbs up and said: "People say that Shanxi is a monolith and cannot be splashed with water, but in the eyes of the boss, it is riddled with holes and full of loopholes!"

"The Skynet is extensive, it's just not leaking." Wang Xian said modestly.

"Hehe, but we were not defeated by you, we were defeated by our own people," Zhifu He turned his head to see if anyone was recording, but unfortunately, in his position, he couldn't see Wu who was behind him. for. "If the interrogation is normal, the interrogator will ask next, why did you kill Zhao Changzhen. The criminal will answer, because Zhaozhi County is not with us. Then the interrogator will ask, who is in your group?"

"You are asking the official and I am asking the official?" Wang Xian cut off Zhifu He's words decisively.He was made a little impetuous by the prefect He, and it was really hard for him to deal with this kind of determined old official.

"Of course it's the job, but the job is to ask the official, so you have to ask the same question. If the job doesn't ask like this, there will be a problem." A faint sarcasm appeared on the face of He Zhifu: "Being an official in the same dynasty is like taking a job in the same court." The boat, the wind and the waves are together, and no one can be spared if it falls into the water first and then falls into the water. I have also been in the officialdom for 20 years, and I have a sentence to give you, a lesson from the past, a teacher for the future!"

Wang Xian frowned again. This man surnamed He was hysterical just now, but he became calmer than anyone else in the blink of an eye. What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?

"If you don't believe me, think about it. The annual salary of a first-rank official in the Ming Dynasty is only 230 taels in silver. I have been a magistrate for a year, and the annual salary is less than 100 taels. This amount is just enough to feed the family. But in the Ming Dynasty, all the officials were in other places and local officials. There were only a few officials in a yamen, but there were dozens or hundreds of officials, and each of them had been immersed for many years. If we took office alone, wouldn't we be bullied to death by local snakes? So we must invite several masters, some who are in charge of money and food, those who are in charge of criminal names, those who are in charge of household laws, and those who are in charge of copywriting... In short, even if you don't want to do something. If you just want to be an official in peace, you have to invite some of your own people! All these expenses have to be paid out of your own pocket, and which one's annuity should not be more than a hundred taels? Not to mention the necessary ostentation in the officialdom...the expenses of being an official It’s time to grow up.” Magistrate He babbled, “My 100 taels of silver can’t last even a month. Tell me, if you are an official in the Ming Dynasty, who can be clean? Who will not fall into the water when there is a storm? ?”
