Chapter 208 The Iron Mouth and Bronze Teeth that Know Current Affairs
Kang Mingyuan gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and scolded angrily: "Well, Lin Jinxiao, if you don't drink the toast and eat the fine wine, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Then he roared again towards the hall: "Come here, I will take down this thieves couple who are disturbing the court."
"Let's see who dares."
Lin Jinxiao took out the Eastern Defense Envoy from his arms with a solemn expression, threw it on the desk, and said sternly: "Open your eyes and see what this is."
When Kang Mingyuan saw that it was an appointment certificate, he was so frightened that he went over to check. Hu Maoxi held up the Emperor's Sword and shook his head helplessly:
"Kang Mingyuan, Kang Mingyuan, you really have the heart of a bear but the courage of a leopard. I have been in the officialdom for many years. This is the first time I have encountered a guy like you who doesn't know how to be humble. You don't even pay attention to the majesty of the emperor. Mr. Lin gave you
There are enough steps, but you don't know how to measure and insist on going your own way. Today your official career has come to an end."
Kang Mingyuan had long heard about the imperial court's plan to establish an eastern coastal defense, so he had been extra cautious in the past few months. For this reason, he even investigated the salt officer last month for pretending to win people's hearts. He had been looking forward to it day and night, but he didn't expect that his new immediate boss had disappeared.
The one who made no sound came to him.
Seeing the clear writing on the body of the petition, he was so frightened that he shivered all over, and then slowly collapsed to the ground, feebly begging: "Please forgive me, Mr. Lin. I'm despicable. I'm despicable."
He was still hesitating and couldn't think of a word, but Lin Jinxiao shouted loudly again: "Come here, take down this stupid and incompetent dog officer. Once all the crimes are found out, he will be dealt with severely."
Kang Mingyuan was filled with regret and his eyes were dull and at a loss.
He was imprisoned unexpectedly, which would definitely cause turmoil in the entire Haikang County. By then, a series of things related to him would have surfaced, and he would not be able to defend himself even if he had a hundred mouths.
Hu Maoxi had just watched the entire process of his trial. He was unspeakable about Kang Mingyuan's case-solving methods. The anger that was surging in his heart could not help but be vented:
"I have been in office for more than ten years and have solved countless cases. Even with all the witnesses and material evidence, I dare not boast that there was no injustice. You are better off. You dare to forge evidence and testify to murder people just based on your imagination.
.”
After a pause, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "I now understand the popular saying in the officialdom, one term as an official is not as good as one year in Haikang County. It seems that you have not only made a lot of money in these years, but also wronged you."
The number of wrongfully convicted murder cases is probably too numerous to list."
"Master Hu."
Lin Jinxiao looked at him like a resentful woman and interrupted him impatiently:
"Looking at the whole process of Kang Mingyuan's trial today, you are so ignorant and incompetent, and you deceived the superiors and the inferiors. I am afraid that there are also flaws in the cases of the previous two county magistrates. In the name of the Eastern Defense Envoy and the six county magistrates, I sincerely request you to succeed Kang Mingyuan.
When trying the case of Zhu Yue’s murder, we must strictly investigate to the end with fairness, repay justice to the wronged, and let the deceased rest in peace.”
Hu Maoxi knew the profound meaning of his words. As the lawyer of the suspect Sun Wuji, Chu Nanzhi should avoid suspicion as a couple. He happily replied: "Being able to jointly try the case with Madam Chu again before leaving office, one term in Luyanggang can be considered
It is complete, I am very pleased, and I would like to thank Mr. Lin for giving me this opportunity."
After saying that, he looked at Chu Nanzhi with a smile and said humbly: "I hope we can continue to work together with Mrs. Chu this time to find out the real culprit behind the scenes."
"sure."
Chu Nanzhi stared at his old partner, thinking about the experience of the past two days with a bit of reluctance.
I only hope that this time they can continue to maintain their rare tacit understanding in a different place.
Lin Jinxiao sat down in the hall solemnly and solemnly, his eyes swept across the Haikang County government officials in the hall, and said sternly: "From today on, all levels of government offices in Haikang County, from the junior officials to the third class of government officials, will stay in the government offices."
He is suspended pending investigation and is not allowed to move around at will. If he violates the order, he will be killed without mercy."
The county magistrate was caught off guard and was dismissed from his post and severely punished. For a moment, people were panicked, and everyone had a bitter look on their face, and their expressions were particularly complicated.
After Kang Mingyuan and Sun Wuji were taken into custody together, Chief Secretary Tan Miao secretly stroked his chest and abdomen and carefully walked up to Lin Jinxiao, and said respectfully and politely:
"The humble official has long been ashamed of Kang Mingyuan's actions in the county over the years. He wasted no time on human life, levied excessive taxes, privately levied fish and salt taxes, and cleverly set up all kinds of tricks to amass money, making the people's lives miserable. He was useless except for being incompetent and roaring.
, I knew he would be in trouble sooner or later, so I secretly collected some evidence of his evil deeds over the years for the superior officer's investigation."
"I didn't expect Chief Tan to be so thoughtful?"
Lin Jinxiao glanced at him deeply.
"When you are in an officialdom, you have no choice but to do what you want. A humble position also comes with hardships. I have offended many people in the past. I hope that the superior officials and all of you will forgive me."
Tan Miao looked at everyone with a wry smile, looking innocent and aggrieved.
Lin Jinxiao nodded slowly, waved towards the outside of the hall, and saw Li Ce striding in: "Sanlang, you lead the county officials to go to the county in batches to capture the smuggled salt dealers, and immediately seize the unqualified salt dealers hiding in various places.
Salt Well.”
"Most of the unscrupulous private salt manufacturers scattered throughout the county are involved with Kang County Magistrate, ah, with Kang Mingyuan, a dog official. They all know their humble positions and record them in the books. They will go and get them for Shangguan.
Come to the account books at all levels."
Tan Miao asked with enthusiasm.
Lin Jinxiao smiled calmly and said, "Then there will be Chief Lao Tan."
Seeing that he was about to leave, he immediately added: "Please also ask Master Tan to bring the county's cards and tickets."
"I humble my position and take orders."
Tan Miao ran very fast and quickly went to get what he needed.
Seeing such an earnest Chief Secretary, Hu Maoxi couldn't help but sigh: "This Chief Secretary Tan is a man who knows current affairs. He deserves to be the best talker in Haikang County. Not only is he eloquent, but he is also first-rate in scheming.
It saves a lot of trouble."
Lin Jinxiao listened silently without answering.
Chu Nanzhi cannot yet make a conclusion about this person, but he is indeed much smarter than Kang Mingyuan who only knows how to roar.
Judging from Lin Jinxiao's intentions, she also guessed that this pretty boy was going to start rectifying the officialdom in Haikang County.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but admire this guy's methods. He was indeed clever. He took advantage of the opportunity of the trial to find out Kang Mingyuan's faults, causing the entire Haikang County to lose its backbone without any defense. In this way, those people could
The petty officials and wealthy squires who had connections with him had no time to think of a way to deal with it.
Not long after, Tan Miao returned to the court with a large number of accounting books and put them all on the desk for Lin Jinxiao to review. Then he walked to Hu Maoxi and Chu Nanzhi and whispered:
"As for Sun Wuji's case, I actually have some criticisms. I don't agree with Kang Mingyuan's judgment. But this guy insists on going his own way, so I have to bully those above and below to smooth things over for him. To this day, he still doesn't repent and insists that it was Sun Wuji.
Wu Ji killed the county magistrate."
"Master Registrar, do you have any advice? Why don't you tell me?"
Chu Nanzhi said with a smile.
Tan Miao thought for a while, and then tentatively said: "The reason why Kang Mingyuan insists that he is the county magistrate killed by Sun Wuji, Mrs. Chu must have guessed it, right?"
