Chapter 28 Catch Tong Xiang
Hearing Shi Qian's words, Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
I am afraid that only Shi Qian can come up with such a method, and it is absolutely impossible for others.
The reason is simple.
Everyone is a face-conscious person.
As for Wu Song, Lin Chong, and Yang Zhi, even if they starved to death, they would not be able to commit such a theft.
Inwardly speaking, the three of them felt uncomfortable with Wu Zhi's recruitment of Shi Qian.
Including Wu Zhi.
The four of them are all well-known heroes.
Now that there is a thief like Shi Qian, what does it mean?
The three of them were dissatisfied with Shi Qian. Seeing that he dared to say such words in public, they were so angry that they naturally opened their mouths and cursed him.
"Hey, I didn't ask you to steal it. Why are you so anxious?"
Shi Qian may not be happy because he is always squeezed out by Wu and Song.
At this moment, seeing them coming to trouble me again, he also showed no sign of weakness.
"You're such a thief, you're so stubborn, you seem to want to be beaten!"
Shi Qian's rebuttal made Wu Song, who regarded himself as a hero, unable to bear it. He tied up his cuffs and planned to teach Shi Qian a lesson.
"Ms. sir, save me."
Although Shi Qian was not strong in martial arts, he was quite good at flattering others.
In addition, he has his own unique skills, which will play a big role for Wuzhi in the future.
Therefore, Wu Zhi was not disgusted.
Faced with the aggressive confrontation between Wu and Song, Shi Qian simply took out Wu Zhi.
"Okay, this is a discussion here, don't make any moves."
Although Wuzhi didn't agree with Shi Qian's method, he couldn't tolerate taking action directly.
"Humph, you little thief, if you are capable, you will always hide next to your brother."
With Wu Zhi coming forward, Wu Song naturally did not dare to take action again.
But still don't forget the threat.
Everyone discussed it for a long time, but no solution was found.
Wu Zhi could only put him aside and take office first.
Because the purpose of his military envoy was to destroy Liangshan, he took office directly in Qingzhou.
However, what annoyed Wu Zhi was that on his first day in office, someone filed a lawsuit against him.
The person who complained was Liang Taishu, the prefect of Daming Prefecture.
As for the defendant, it was Yang Zhi, a subordinate of Wu Zhi.
Liang Zhongshu sent the most famous lawyer on the grounds that Yang Zhi had colluded with Chao Gai and others to rob the birthday card.
This lawsuit, on the surface, was Liang Zhongshu suing Yang Zhi, but in fact, it was a secret attempt to cause trouble for Wu Zhi.
The best thing is to lose Yang Zhi as his right-hand man.
Naturally, Wu Zhi could not watch Yang Zhi being framed. While hearing the case, he also sent people to Daming Mansion to find witnesses.
Ding Zhong, Liang Zhongshu's family member who was rescued by Wu Zhi, watched everything that happened.
As long as he can come forward to testify for Yang Zhi, then Yang Zhi will be able to escape suspicion in this case.
"Reporting to the Duke of Jinglue, Yang Zhi, as the governor, colluded with Chao Gai to plunder the birthday card. According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, he should be tattooed to match the border."
With Cai Jing as his backer, even when faced with Wu Zhi, the strategic advisor, Wu Xuan, the litigator, was not afraid at all. He smiled and said solemnly to Wu Zhi.
"What Mr. Wu said is wrong. Yang Zhi has evidence to prove his innocence."
A mere litigator would not be able to make a fortune in the hands of Wu Zhi.
With an order, several servants who had been rescued by Wu Zhi came to testify.
"It's you!"
Seeing those servants, Mr. Wu's expression immediately changed.
In order to let Wu Zhi suffer the disadvantage of being dumb, Liang Zhongshu asked everyone who participated on that day to shut up.
Those who didn't shut up made it impossible for them to speak.
In terms of flaws, these three people are the only ones left.
After the birthday gang was robbed, these three people were rescued by Wu Zhi and stayed behind secretly.
On the surface, he was killed by Chao Gai.
"Reporting to your lord, we can prove that Yang Yuhou is innocent."
At that moment, the three of them told everything that happened that day, including how Wu Zhi rescued them.
With the testimony of these three people, the evidence used by Attorney Wu against Yang Zhi was reduced to useless paper, and Yang Zhi was easily restored to innocence.
After handling Liang Zhongshu's lawsuit against Yang Zhi, another more difficult case emerged.
However, Wu Zhi had to do it.
The person involved this time is Privy Councilor Tong Guan.
To be honest, there has never been any grudge between Wu Zhi and Tong Guan.
Tong Guan even lowered his attitude and always gave Wu Zhi face.
The perpetrator is Tong Guan's nephew Tong Xiang.
In order to embezzle money, Tong Xiang, as the lord of Guang'an City, dared to force officials and people to ask for bribes.
Anyone who disobeys will be beaten.
Relying on the fact that his uncle was Tong Guan, the privy envoy, Tong Xiang had always regarded the laws of the Song Dynasty as nothing.
The issue of openly asking for bribes was also suppressed directly by Tong Guan.
Wu Zhi's fame has always spread throughout the world.
Seeing that he came to serve as an official, the people came to complain with the attitude of giving it a try.
"Let's go, follow me to Guang'an City."
As the lord of a city, he actually does things that only underworld organizations do.
This time, some people petitioned Tong Xiang to collect protection money on the street in Guang'an. After hearing this, Wu Zhi was furious and took the imperial guards to Guang'an to check.
"How many people still have no money? It's just the same amount for each person, not much. If you pay it, you'll be fine."
When he arrived at Guang'an City, Tong Xiang captured a large number of people and forced them to hand over their money.
Although the money is usually not much, for ordinary people who make a living by hard work, it is nearly half a month's hard work.
The whole family relies on this money to survive, so why are they willing to hand it over?
"Master Tong, please be kind. This money is for my mother's medical treatment and medicine. You must not steal it, otherwise my mother will die."
Seeing that the people refused to pay, in the end, Tong Xiang went too far and asked the sergeants to snatch the money from the people.
During the robbery, an honest young man held on to the life-saving money.
No matter what kind of punches and kicks he faced, he just refused to let go.
In just a moment, under the beating of Tong Xiang's men, the honest and filial young man's face was covered with blood and he could not stand firmly.
However, the hand holding the life-saving money never let go.
"Hey, let's see how long you can hold on. Keep beating until he lets go."
When Tong Xiang saw that the young man's hand was still not loose, he immediately became angry and directed everyone to take action while rolling up his sleeves.
It seemed that he was preparing to come forward in person.
"Ouch, what bastard is kicking me from behind? I'll see if I don't kill you."
However, before Tong Xiang could take action, he was overtaken by Wu Zhi who had already arrived.
Kicked him over with one kick, and he fell to the ground like a dog.
Tong Xiang, who had always been lawless, was furious.
After getting up from the ground, he suddenly turned his head and punched Wu Zhi.
“My lordship in economics!”
However, after seeing Wu Zhi's official uniform, Tong Xiang was so frightened that he immediately retracted his hand.
He swallowed, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
