Even Feng Lu, the magistrate of Jiangdu County, was not willing to touch the national law just to please the Fan family. Chen Yu, as a fourth-rank prefect, naturally was not willing to take too much responsibility in this matter.
In fact, he was not very involved in this matter from beginning to end. Magistrate Feng was always doing it.
This unjust case was settled, Shen Yi died unjustly, and the Fan family was able to escape. He, the prefect who turned a blind eye, could sell Shilang Fan a favor. If...
If one day the scandal comes to light, the most it will be traced to is Jiangdu County Magistrate Feng Lu. He, the magistrate, was not involved from the beginning to the end, and did not accept any money from the Fan family. Naturally, it has nothing to do with him. At most, it will fall on him. That is a sin of oversight.
But now, with the triennial examination coming soon, the Jiangdu prefect did not even want to be blamed for neglecting the inspection.
In next year's Quan Examination, he wants to get at least one "Shang", and even has the ambition to get "Shangshang".
If he can get a "shangshang" examination, then after working in Jiangdu for six years, he may enter the Sixth Department of the Capital at the age of less than forty, become a member of the Sixth Department, and work in the position of doctor for several years. In the year, it is possible to become the Minister of the Sixth Division alongside Fan Shilang!
And if the Ganquan Academy case gets bigger, it will damage the reputation of Magistrate Chen. If he can't get the upper-level exam, and can only get a middle-level or a middle-level exam, then even if the people above him want to do it for him, it will be difficult. Promoted him to six departments.
It is for this reason that after Chen Yu learned that Master Lu was involved in this matter, he felt that there was a risk that this matter would become a big deal, so he put aside his official duties and came to Wanghu Tower to invite Lu Anshi for tea.
The Jiangdu magistrate narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled at Lu Anshi and said: "Sir, if you have some doubts about Jiangdu County Government's review, then Chen will return to the magistrate's office later and ask Yan Tongpan to go to the county government and discuss with Magistrate Feng How about we investigate this matter together?"
Lu Anshi put down the tea in his hand, he raised his head and glanced at Chen Yu, then sighed and said: "Master Fu, even an ordinary person like Lu can find out this matter. It is naturally easy for the government to find out. The difficulty lies in how the government should handle it and whether it will handle it this way."
Chen Yu smiled: "I really don't know the details of this case. That's it. Later, I will prepare a document for the county government and ask them to send a copy of the specific trial records to the government office. I will After reading it, how about you give me an answer, sir?"
Lu Anshi stood up, raised his hands to Magistrate Chen and said, "Your Majesty, I used to be an official. I know some of the rules of the officialdom, and I also know that the Governor is unwilling to offend some people. According to my inquiry, I beat Chen Qing to death at that time. It’s not just one person, even if the county government enforces the law fairly, it may not offend anyone.”
Master Lu's words were almost exactly what Shen Yi meant, but his words were a bit more obscure. However, facing a man like Chen Yu in the officialdom, this rhetoric was just right.
It was so clear that he, the prefect, couldn't get away with it.
Chen Yu turned his eyes and understood what Lu Anshi meant. He also stood up from his chair and saluted Mr. Lu: "What you said is true. I will definitely give an explanation to you and the academy about this matter."
"It's not for me to explain it to you."
Lu Anshi looked at Chen Yu and said slowly: "The ruler of the government should give an explanation to the elders of Jiangdu."
"This is natural."
Chen Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled: "Chen will never fail to deal with the Jiangdu elders once he serves as an official."
At this point, the scene was almost finished, and all Lu Anshi could do was basically done, so Mr. Lu stood up and left.
Chen Yu personally sent Lu Anshi down to Wanghu Tower, and then watched Lu Anshi get into the carriage.
After Lu Anshi left, Chen Yu stood there thinking for a while, and then went back to Wanghu Tower to drink tea. After a cup of tea, Magistrate Chen looked at the boy at the door and said: "Go and invite Magistrate Feng here
, just say that I invite him to tea."
The boy agreed quickly and turned around to invite Feng Lu.
Chen Yu was Feng Lu's immediate boss. His immediate boss invited him, and Magistrate Feng naturally agreed in a hurry. Only half an hour later, Feng Lu appeared on the second floor of Wanghu Tower, panting.
In fact, he came by carriage and was not very tired.
Just pretend to be positive in front of your boss. If you take a few breaths now, your impression on your boss will be better.
Respond positively to leadership.
Anyway, this kind of private flattery doesn't cost money, just do it if you can.
Seeing Magistrate Feng who was out of breath and even had a few beads of sweat on his head, Magistrate Chen smiled hoarsely. He did not get up. He just pointed to the seat opposite him and said lightly: "There is no need for Magistrate Feng to be like this."
Don't worry, I've invited you here just for tea, nothing important."
"When the prince of the palace summons me, I dare not be impatient."
After saying this, Magistrate Feng carefully sat down opposite the leader, then raised his head to look at the leader's face. Lian Chen Yu didn't look unhappy at all, so he smiled and said: "Unknown Mansion"
Your honor calls me, do you have anything to tell me?"
"Why, can't I invite you to tea if you have nothing to do?"
Chen Yu looked at Magistrate Feng with a half-smile, then narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Just now, Mr. Lu also sat in your position."
"Master Lu, Lu..."
Feng Lu suddenly realized it and said: "I understand, it's the incident at Ganquan Academy..."
At this time, Magistrate Feng's appearance of "sudden realization" was also an act. He had just met Lu Anshi in the afternoon, and personally put Lu Anshi into the county jail. Now in the evening, the governor invited him over, of course because of this
Something happened.
However, pretending like this will highlight the wisdom of the leader. It doesn’t cost money anyway, so why not?
Seeing his appearance, Chen Yu shook his head helplessly, and then lowered his eyebrows and said: "Okay, you and I have been colleagues in Jiangdu for more than two years. There is no need to be so cautious. The affairs of Ganquan Academy are being investigated by your county government.
, now, tell me the cause and effect of the matter."
"Remember."
Magistrate Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "Tell the truth, otherwise I will find out and you won't be able to pass the test so easily."
After hearing these words, Magistrate Feng lowered his head slightly and complained secretly in his heart.
What to pretend?
The Fan family has said that they have also said hello to you, the prefect!
However, such words must not be uttered. Magistrate Feng lowered his head and explained the case honestly.
After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and said: "That's probably it. Mr. Fan... Mr. Fan and others accidentally beat Chen Qing to death, but they didn't want to take responsibility, so they found Shen Yi, an unlucky guy who was present, to take the blame. This matter was originally going to happen. Once it's done, there won't be any disturbances. I never thought that Mr. Lu, who was ignorant of his studies, would get involved and disturb the prince of the palace."
He stood up and bowed to Chen Yu: "Please forgive me."
"Torrent?"
Chen Yu didn't even raise his eyelids, and said calmly: "This Chief Lu Shan is not arrogant at all. He even gave us an idea to calm the trouble."
"You should not take this murder lightly, otherwise you and I will be serving as parents and officials for nothing."
Magistrate Chen's face became serious. He looked up at Feng Lu and said in a deep voice: "The big mistake hasn't been made yet, so I won't hold you accountable for your fault. But this matter needs to be re-investigated and re-tried. Don't unjustly accuse a good person." ."
"yes."
Feng Lu bowed his head respectfully and said, "May I ask the Lord, how should this case be tried?"
"The trial is a matter for your county government. I won't interfere, but..."
Chen Yu lowered his eyebrows and said, "I want to put an end to the matter."
