Chapter 889: Frightened the prefect, settled in the county government
Chapter 889: The prefect was frightened and settled in the county government office
The Imperial Envoy's flag was raised in the wind, and the surrounding soldiers moved out of the way. Fan Anhe trotted to Shen Tang alone! However, when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help being shocked! The man who fell on the ground , blood flowed all over the floor, who is this?
"Xiaoguan... Fan Anhe, the magistrate of Xingyuan Prefecture, has met the imperial envoy Master Shen!"
Fan Anhe suppressed the shock in his heart and saluted Shen Tang respectfully.
Seeing that Shen Tang didn't speak, he carefully looked at the four people in the pool of blood again, and asked anxiously, "Sir, do you know what happened here?
But did any damn person bump into my lord?"
"Pi Sheng, tell Mr. Fan what happened here!"
Shen Tang said in a different tone.
Pi Sheng grinned, cupped his hands and said, "Sir Fan, we have just come here with the imperial envoy! We originally wanted to check the disaster situation in Lianshui County, but who knew, hey..."
"We are still a step too late! Some refugee rebels came from nowhere and directly killed the magistrate of Lianshui County! This person was the magistrate of Lianshui County, and his family of more than 20 people also He’s dead! We were still a step too late, otherwise we might have been able to save the magistrate’s life!”
As he spoke, Pi Sheng sighed heavily, wiped off the blood on the blade, and put the knife into the scabbard!
Fan Anhe opened his mouth wide. Is this the county magistrate?
Isn't it?
I hadn't seen it clearly before, but now I take a closer look. Isn't the robe soaked in blood the official uniform?
But, what on earth is going on?
The imperial envoy's personal guards killed all the magistrate's family. What happened?
Why did the magistrate offend this imperial envoy?
How dare this imperial envoy directly kill the imperial official?
Aren't you afraid of being questioned by the court?
Moreover, even if you lied to me, could you make it more perfect?
Or, at least hide the bloody knife first?
You, covered in blood, say someone else killed someone, do you think I am a blind person or a fool?
Fan Anhe was full of questions, but he didn't dare to ask.
Moreover, he is also thinking about what to do next!
After a while, Fan Anhe said carefully, "Your Majesty, since there is a murder here, should we let the Yamen take over directly?
When the official comes here, the government officials have also come with him, how dare you trouble your Lordship with such a matter?"
"No need!"
Shen Tang waved his hand, "Although I shouldn't be too involved in these matters, since I am an imperial envoy and I happened to catch up, there is no reason to stand by and watch! Pi Sheng, surround the county government office and wait until the matter is thoroughly investigated. , without my order, anyone who dares to trespass will be killed without mercy as a rebel!"
When Fan Anhe heard this, he was shocked!
He didn't take it seriously when a mere county magistrate died. In fact, the death of the magistrate would be beneficial to him.
However, if all the people in the Lianshui County Yamen fell into the hands of Shen Tang, and all the secrets of the county magistrate also fell into the hands of Shen Tang, then nothing that happened in Lianshui County could be concealed. !When the time comes, not only will a county magistrate die, but even he, the magistrate, will be left with nothing to eat!
"grown ups……"
"Let's do this!"
Shen Tang directly interrupted Fan Anhe!
"Sir, let these brothers stay here, how about you go to Xingyuan Mansion?
The government officials and the gentry from all over the country have long been looking forward to your arrival and are about to pay homage to your majesty..." Fan Anhe said respectfully.
"No need!"
Shen Tang said calmly, "I heard that the disaster in Lianshui County is serious. It just so happens that I want to take a look at the current situation in Lianshui County! After the inspection is completed, it will not be too late to return to Xingyuan Mansion..."
"Come here, since we want to investigate the case, I will live directly in the county government office! Pi Sheng, ask someone to clean up a few clean rooms and come out..." After that, Shen Tang ignored Fan Anhe. He stepped directly into the county government office.
Some of the others followed Shen Tang in, while others stationed themselves around the government office, leaving Fan An and the prefect on the spot!
"Sir, what should I do?"
A petty official who came with Fan Anhe came forward.
"Do I know what to do?"
Fan Anhe roared angrily!
Fan Anhe frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head! His first thought was to use this matter to move the court to Shen Tang! However, after thinking about it, he gave up.
First of all, he can write to the court, and Shen Tang can naturally do the same! Now, this place is under the watch of Shen Tang's people, and he can't find any definite evidence of guilt at all! When he gets to the court, it's just the public saying that the public is right and the mother-in-law is right.
He did have a backer in the imperial court.
However, Shen Tang's backers in the imperial court were obviously stronger than him! More importantly, the Holy Emperor's trust in Shen Tang obviously exceeded him, even more than his backers in the imperial court.
Visiting Shen Tang under such circumstances may even cause some trouble for yourself.
At this moment, what scares him the most is whether Shen Tang will find an excuse to kill him as the prefect! The people Shen Tang brought are obviously much stronger than those unreliable government servants or government soldiers! Moreover, , now that there are refugee rebels, it is simply a snake oil excuse!
Shen Tang dared to behead a magistrate openly and openly. What's the big deal if he beheaded another magistrate?
As long as we do it cleanly and prevent others from grasping the evidence, and then push all the evidence on the heads of the refugee rebels, who in the court can do anything to get rid of Shen Tang?
If it were other people, they might not be able to commit such cruelty. Even if they wanted to kill someone, they could do it secretly so that no one would notice.
However, Shen Tang is not an ordinary person. He is not only a scholar, but also a general who kills people like crazy and is invincible! For a person like him, killing a lot of people is nothing. He can do anything if he is pressed. You can do it!
"You go back immediately and make preparations at Zhongliang Mountain and Dingjun Mountain! Now, the most important thing is not to let Shen Tang come into contact with the refugee rebels! As long as Shen Tang is not allowed to see those people, then at most he will know how to cause trouble. If there is civil unrest, he can't do anything to us! As long as there is no problem with this matter, even if he finds out something, there will be no evidence at all, and he can't do anything to me!"
"Let Xiaosi follow me. In the past few days, I have been accompanying this gentleman in Lianshui County! Now, everyone's heads are focused on this matter! Let those people cheer up for me. , we must not let anything happen again.”
The clerk nodded and looked at the corpse of the magistrate, which was still ignored. "Sir, let's..."
"If you don't want to die, just keep this matter in your stomach! The truth of this matter is that the refugees broke into the county government office and killed the magistrate's family. The imperial envoy and my officer are investigating the case!"
Fan Anhe said sharply.
The little official suddenly understood and nodded in horror.
