There is a joke circulating in the officialdom of the capital, saying that outside officials meet with Beijing officials, and outside officials said: "I love Beijing officials with tooth cards." But the Beijing officials said: "I love outside officials with yamen even more."

The paiya is also called "Little Shanggong". The emperor's old man promoted the court in the Golden Palace of the capital, while the county magistrates took the court in the local county magistrate. Although it is a typical flies, mosquito heads, and snail shells, the etiquette and system cannot be abolished. Every day, the county magistrate, chief clerk, discipline, instructor, historian, inspector, post chief, tax supervisor... These sesame and mung bean officials wearing black veils, as well as the six-room officials, the clerks in the black shirts, all of them stood in the second hall in the class.

When the second gang beat, the drums sounded, and Changsu came out and sang loudly: "The county master has been promoted to the hall!"

The magistrate took a square step and turned out from the screen of the "Sea Water Asahi Sun" and sat down after the big case.

The officials all paid a visit and sang: "Greetings to the Lord of the Hall!"

Then the magistrate asked to be exempted from the ceremony and asked a group of assistant officials to sit down. The clerks were not qualified to sit down, so they could only stand and listen to the master's speech.

The county master said above that the officials looked at their noses, their noses, and their minds were distracted... They just hoped to end quickly, so that they could go back to their respective yamen and show their prestige.

This kind of county yamen is just a ceremony like the national dynasty. It has serious official duties, including document exchanges and separate negotiable discussions, and only if a resolution is formed, it will be announced here.

Many officials may be unhappy with the Paiya trials, but Wei Yuan, the magistrate of Fuyang, is only twenty-nine years old this year. He is at the age of high spirits and enterprising, and is very impatient with this ritual of dullness. When he saw the faces in the hall that seemed respectful but actually had their own ulterior motives, he wanted to beat them all!

Unfortunately, I can only think about it...

After a few clichés were spoken after the greetings, the magistrate of Wei asked the officials if there was anything to report?

Seeing that everyone was not talking, he nodded slightly and immediately followed him and sang: "Get out!"

The officials quickly stood up and bowed: "Send to the Lord of the Hall."

Magistrate Wei bowed to everyone, then turned to the screen and returned to his signing room.

Another Changsui changed his clothes for him and then served him a refreshment. Wei Magistrate used two snacks and felt that he was not so bad, so he asked, "Who is outside?"

Chang Sui reported: "It's Captain Hu."

"Let him come in." Wei Zhixian had a good impression of Hu Buliu, at least he was quite diligent in what he had explained.

After Hu Buliu came in, he bowed deeply and said, "Greetings to the Lord of the Hall."

"What's the matter?" Wei Magistrate's face was as heavy as a waterway. As the head of a county, he could not let people see his likes and dislikes.

"I have important things to report to you in a humble position." Hu Buliu whispered.

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

"Tell me." Wei Zhixian nodded, and Hu Buliu approached and whispered: "Do you remember that case of injury before you took office? It was the son of Wang Xingye, the former county criminal secretary, who was beaten to the living dead."

"Yeah." Wei Zhixian then remembered that it was the case before he took office, and the injured should have been injured due to a gambling dispute. He was not a good citizen, but because he was just a routine investigation, it was left unresolved.

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

When Wei Magistrate Wei heard this, he said in surprise: "It's not a death."

"This morning, Wang Xian's brother Wang Gui came to the villain to report," Hu Buliu whispered according to Dad Wang's instructions: "His brother was injured not because of a gambling dispute, but because he was silenced."

"Silence?" Wei Magistrate Wei frowned. An ordinary injury case was going to develop into a major case?

"According to Wang Xian, he had asked someone to write a lawsuit at that time, intending to stop the master and shout for justice on the day he took office." Hu Buliu said: "As a result, somehow the news leaked, and he was almost silenced..."

"What wrong he wants to call for?" Wei Zhixian frowned even more.

Hu Buliu took a breath and said quietly: "Lin Rongxing's wife murder case."

"..." Wei Magistrate Wei's heart skipped a beat and thought to himself that it was indeed the scholar who pulled his ex off the horse and killed his wife!

After he took office, the Lin family also filed a complaint and complained about the injustice. The complaint lists all the suspicious points in the case. After seeing it, Wei County agreed. However, the case was decided by the separate inspection roads, and the case was closed after the inspection department reported to the Ministry of Justice. How could he offend the officials in the province and Beijing just because of a few suspicious points?

Therefore, Wei Magistrate only said that the case had been handed over to the sub-visit road and he had no right to intervene. Later, he heard that the Lin family was unyielding and went to the Hangzhou Censorate to file a lawsuit, and then went to Nanjing. It was reported that a senior official had agreed, and asked about the case again during the autumn trial!

What's even more terrible is that the new Zhejiang Censor Zhou Xin is known for his good at severing prisons and is known as "cold-faced cold iron". It is said that the Lin family also sued him. With Zhou Xin's personality, he probably cannot ignore it!

Wei Zhixian had already agreed with Xixi that there was no evidence from the Lin family, and as long as he was out of trouble, no one would make any mistakes. Then make a pot of tea and sit and watch the storm. When the dust falls, he will still be himself and will not cause any trouble.

Therefore, Wei Magistrate quickly calmed down and said slowly: "I heard that Wang Er was a idle and desolate house, and his words may not be credible."

"Tang Zun is right." Hu Buliu nodded and said, "But Wang Xian provided a clue that a humble position must be reported to the Ming Tang Zun."

"speak."

"Wang Xian said that Zhao was not dead, but was hidden..." Hu Buliu's voice became lighter and lighter, and only Magistrate Wei could hear it.

"What!" Wei Zhixian was shocked for a while and couldn't speak. After a long time, he whispered: "How credible do you think?"

"I think it's better to trust the facts than to trust the facts!" Hu Buliu retelled as Mr. Wang taught him: "Since the Lin family has exposed this case to the province, with Zhou Nietai's personality, he must investigate it carefully. What if he comes to inspect it in person during the Qiu trial?"

"Well..." When the thought of Zhou Nietai, Wei Magistrate's hair stood up. According to legend, this is a master Qingtian who is very knowledgeable about the small things and is good at judging strange cases. At the beginning of this year, the people who were wronged and imprisoned were so happy that they cried out, "I'm alive." When Zhou Xin took office, he decided to make the case look like a god, and unexpectedly, making it difficult for those corrupt officials to guard against the law.

For example, once, in order to understand the true feelings of a case, he went out in vain and deliberately offended the Shanyin County Magistrate and was arrested and imprisoned. In prison, he learned from the prisoners that the magistrate's corruption and abused the law, and thus impeached and rectified the corrupt officials. This matter was once a beautiful story.

But for the officials under his rule, it was a perfect nightmare. He was a master Nietai who loved to visit privately and liked to go into prisons. The prefectures and counties below did not dare to be careless for a moment. Not only did they dare not arrest people randomly, but they even had to pay their respects to the prisoners in the prison cells as ancestors. This was impossible to live.

I guess the Lin family resolutely saved the control after hearing his deeds...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After coming back from his random thoughts, Wei Magistrate asked Captain Hu to go down first, and then invited Mr. Sima, Xi.

Mr. Sima is an old scholar. He taught and ate in the yamen. Later, he was recommended to be a master in the Muxia County of Wei... Of course, he was not called a master in this year, but Xixi. In fact, it was the same thing.

He was sleeping in the back, but when he heard that the magistrate was looking for him, he quickly put on his clothes and washed his face. He hurried to the signing room and saw that magistrate Wei was looking constipated there, as if something was really hard to resolve.

"Dongweng, you are looking for me."

"Sir, please come and help me get an idea." Wei Magistrate hurriedly called him to sit down and reported to Mr. Sima, whom Captain Hu had just reported to Mr. Sima.

"Oh..." Mr. Sima was twisting a few goatee, and after hearing this, he pondered for a moment: "Dongweng, I know that Zhao is still alive, so we should not pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore. If someone else solves this case, Dongweng said it was a dereliction of duty in a gentle way, and said it was a complicity in a serious way."

As he said that, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Besides, this case is bizarre and involves a lot. If you can turn it over, it will definitely shake the whole country! People are afraid of being famous and pigs, but they are most afraid of being an official but they are afraid of having no reputation! Think about it, the case that the Ministry of Justice has already been approved by you, and Dong Weng will definitely be famous in the country and become a famous official like Zhou Nietai. Do you still have to worry about your future in the future?"

"Sir, I'm talking too far..." Wei Zhixian couldn't help but look forward to it, and could not admit it.

"Then let's take a step back." Mr. Sima was so excited that he said: "If Dongweng can solve this case, he can at least establish prestige in the county, and just sweep away the perfunctory spirit. Let's see who dares to disobey the situation?"

It turned out that since Wei Magistrate took office, the county officials bullied him young and had no background, but he was very troublesome. He hit a few soft nails, which made Wei Magistrate fail to do anything, and he was in a hurry all day long...

After hearing Mr. Sima's words, Wei Magistrate finally told the truth: "I'm going to tell you, I think so too." He sighed and said, "But how can I observe and decide this case? If I intervene rashly, I will definitely make him angry. This person is the most narrow-minded, and it can be seen that he is ignorant to my ex. If Wang Xian lies, he will kill me."

"Dong Weng's words are reasonable. Wang Xianfeng's comments are not good. He cannot trust his words easily," Master Sima nodded and said, "It's better to do this. I'll go to his house quietly tonight and touch it. If what he said is true, let's make a decision."

"Well, don't worry about this moment." Wei Zhixian nodded and said, "But you must not leak the news." Obviously, the balance in his heart was already inclined to care about this nostalgic business.

"If Dongweng is worried," Master Sima smiled and said, "You might as well send an open messenger to the execution room and ask them to make up for Wang Xian's confession, so that his case can be settled."

Wei Magistrate thought about it and praised him, "Who can predict the great good, the real and the real, the real and the real!"
