Luo Chuan and Yan Siyu obviously got closer after a conversation. According to their age and seniority, they were already uncle-nephew in private.
After the two separated, Yan Siyu left the Summer Palace directly, but Luochuan, accompanied by a group of Wangchuan sword cultivators, went deep into the Summer Palace instead, because he wanted to see the prefect of Yongchang County, Meng Jiaoyang.
Meng Jiaoyang lived in the Summer Palace, but he hurriedly came out of the palace after being informed by the palace waiter. When he saw Luo Chuan, he smiled and cupped his hands from a distance, "It's your fault, it's your fault, Meng is busy with worldly things, but Luo Chuan
The governor has been waiting for a long time."
Luo Chuan glanced at the scholar in Tsing Yi who came behind him and the middle-aged man with an indifferent expression and full of murderous intent. He also raised his hands to Meng Jiaoyang and said, "No, Luo came unexpectedly. Does Meng Taishou have time?"
A narration?"
Meng Jiaoyang glanced at the scholar next to her, and then said, "Of course there is," as she said this, she led Luo Chuan and his party to a side hall of the Summer Palace.
After entering the side hall, Luo Chuan looked around and realized that the size of this side hall was not much smaller than the main hall of Li Gong. Among them were gilt lamps, gold-inlaid copper stoves, fine porcelain and jade wares, and auspicious reliefs.
The splendor and elegance cannot be described.
Meng Jiaoyang did not go to sit on the first seat, but walked to the first seat on the left side, and stretched out her hand to signal Luo Chuan to sit on the right side.
When the two of them sat down respectively, Luo Chuan was still looking at the layout of the palace, and couldn't help but admired, "I originally thought that this Summer Palace, as a villa in Yongchang County, only occupies a large area, but I didn't expect that the palace of Taishou Meng is even more luxurious than the palace in the central capital.
The palace here is not much different."
"Prefect Luo, thank you. It's just a summer palace. It was built bit by bit with hundreds of years of business accumulation in Xingcheng. It's not worth mentioning. It's not worth mentioning." Fatty Meng Jiaoyang saw that Luo Chuan was very concerned about the surrounding objects.
Interested, I felt a chill in my heart. After exchanging glances with the scholar next to me, I hurriedly said, "According to the agenda of the conference, there will be a gathering from all directions tomorrow. I don't know if Prefect Luo came to see Meng today. But what's the big deal?"
matter?"
Luo Chuan then turned away from looking around and smiled at Meng Jiaoyang, "It's not a big deal. When Luo returned to the other courtyard the day before, he encountered something on the main street of Xingcheng. I guess what happened
Prefect Meng already understood that it was not a big deal in the first place and Luo could just handle it by himself. However, thinking of the agreement between the Southern Xinjiang Alliance and the Yashui Alliance, and the recent unrest in Xingcheng, he thought of simply
Come and discuss with Governor Meng, and we can finalize some things by the way, so as not to damage the harmony between the two counties."
Meng Jiaoyang laughed when he heard this and said, "It should be like this, it should be like this. It's not a big deal at all. We can't hurt the harmony between the two counties."
Luo Chuan nodded and said, "In the opinion of Prefect Meng, how should this matter be handled?"
"This..." Meng Jiaoyang glanced at the scholar next to him and hesitated.
Upon seeing this, the scholar bowed generously and said, "Master Lijun, according to the law of Dading, all cases that occur in each county, unless they involve other county officials and members of the prefecture's clan, will be handled by the county magistrate.
The Lufu Yamen is presiding over the trial. Since this case involves the Xingcheng Division’s Chief Prosecutor and the Chief Treasurer, according to the usual practice, it should be referred to the first level of the Yongchang County Prosecutor’s Office to preside over the case. In particular, the case now has two magistrates in person.
Supervise, the Yongchang County Attorney should be able to decide the case impartially and ensure justice and innocence for all parties."
"Originally," Luo Chuan looked into the scholar's eyes and said, "I should have believed in Taishou Meng and Meng Taishou's judicial officers. After all, although this case involves the chief prosecutor of Xingcheng and the chief treasurer,
But after all, because those scapegoats are all my people from Li County, the harmony between the two counties has been harmed. Both the prefect Meng and the Yongchang County prosecutor should decide the case impartially, but..." He leaned forward slightly.
, looked at Meng Jiaoyang again, stared at him with a pair of eyes, and said solemnly, "But this case... involves Jinhua Temple...!"
Meng Jiaoyang's fat body trembled slightly, and then she said seriously, "Don't worry, Prefect Luo, as long as Prefect Luo agrees to hand over the case to Yongchang County for trial, Meng can guarantee that no matter where it is involved or who is involved, everything will be done."
Treat everyone equally, judge to the end, and give justice to the people of Yongchang, and even more justice to the people of Li County."
"Okay," Luo Chuan said, he stood up and cupped his hands towards Meng Jiaoyang, "Luo was relieved after Meng Jiaoyang's words. Li County and Yongchang County have been friends for nine hundred years, although in recent times,
There were some rifts between the older generation, but in the end we were still a friendly country. When you and I became the prefects, it would be a new dynasty, a new dynasty with a new atmosphere. Luo believed that Prefect Meng could give the friendship between the two counties a good start.
He tilted his head and said to the shadow, "Several Xingcheng officials who are temporarily staying in the other courtyard will be sent back to the Summer Palace later and handed over to Governor Meng."
Shadow nodded in agreement.
Meng Jiaoyang was also happy when she heard this. She stood up and cupped her hands to Luo Chuan and said, "Thank you, Prefect Luo, for your understanding. Meng will definitely make a good start for the friendship between the two counties!"
Luo Chuan nodded, exchanged a few words with Meng Jiaoyang, and then left with a group of Wangchuan sword cultivators.
After Luo Chuan and his entourage left the hall and the door closed again for a long time, the scholar slowly said, "Master Taishou, according to the conclusion we previously agreed on, we must bring back the Li Ren assassin no matter what."
of......"
Meng Jiaoyang waved her hand casually and said, "Hey, it's not easy for him to be willing to release my Xingcheng officials from Li County and agree to let me, the Yongchang County Sheriff's Office, preside over the case. What other details are there?
Especially that idiot with a broken arm who will most likely be beheaded, why bother offending this petty Lijun Prefect for him?"
The scholar frowned slightly and said, "Master Taishou, even if we find the assassin not guilty in the end, or simply slap a few whips lightly, we have upheld the justice of Yongchang County. If the assassin cannot go to court, won't this case become my Yongchang case?"
What about the internal trial in the county? What do the Yongchang troops think, and what do the Yongchang people think?"
"Didn't you say that how the people think depends on how we guide them?" Meng Jiaoyang smiled at the scholar, and when he saw that he wanted to speak, he took the first step and said, "It is useless to talk about the matter at this point. You can't let it go.
I'm going to chase the prefect of Li County back now, so what we just agreed upon doesn't count, right?"
The scholar wanted to salute and continue to say something, but was interrupted by the middle-aged man on the other side, "The prefect of Li County only mentioned this matter when he came here this time, and did not mention a word about the death of a mountain fairy in the courtyard of Li County.
,What means?"
Meng Jiaoyang smiled and said, "What can I mention? What's the use of mentioning it? Just look at the atmosphere in the altar today. I'm afraid what happened last night has long been a public case. It was him who begged me to send someone.
Go check it out, I don’t even want to send someone to give him justice.”
