As soon as Wang Dianshi took office, he took down Zheng Sixing, who had ulterior motives, and suppressed three groups of tigers and wolves. Everyone in Pujiang County exclaimed, this new Mr. Wang is really a ruthless character!
Of course, the group of people behind Zheng Sixing had to find ways to rescue him. They found an old drinking buddy from Mizhi County, Zheng Jiaoyu from this county... Jiaoyu, Yicheng, Zhaguan and other positions, because of their humble status, they could not interfere with government affairs.
, so the imperial court authorized the use of local people. This Zheng Jiaoyu was a descendant of the Zheng family, but because he was an official and was a drinking buddy with the magistrate, he acted as a mouthpiece between the local government and the Yamen.
After leaving the office that day, Zheng Jiaoyu invited Mi Zhixian to his home for a drink. Mi Zhixian was always happy when he heard wine, so he asked the old man to buy a roast goose and bring it to Zheng Jiaoyu's home, where the two old bachelors drank leisurely.
When he was slightly drunk, it was a good time to speak freely. Zheng Jiaoyu interceded for his distant nephew. Unexpectedly, Mizhixian cursed with drunken eyes: "A bunch of frogs in the well. They don't even look at their opponents. Although Wang Xian
He is a classic historian, but he is the first official in Jiangnan named by the cold-faced Tiehan father-in-law. With Taiwan as the backing of this province, I even want to give him three points, but you compete with him, you deserve it!"
"Don't scratch your beard and eyebrows. I didn't know about it beforehand," Zheng Jiaoyu said sarcastically: "It's just a prank by the juniors. The elder, tell Wang Dianshi to expose it. I promise that nothing like this will happen again."
"Did it spread to Zhengzhai Town?" Mi Zhixian asked if he had some enlightenment.
"Yeah." Zheng Jiaoyu said with a bitter smile: "The town was furious and called all those people back to the ancestral hall to deal with the family law. I am this lobbyist because of the town's intention. You know that our Zheng family has strict family laws, so Zheng Qi
If we go back, life will be worse than death."
Mizhixian believes that the Zheng family's family law is ten times more severe than the Ming Dynasty's military law, but the crux of the problem is not here, "Now that Zheng Si Xing has violated national law, how can it be replaced by the Zheng family's family law?"
"There are no criminals in the eighth generation of my Zheng family..." Zheng Jiaoyu said bravely: "Zheng Qi is named Zheng after all. Outsiders don't know that he is a distant relative who came out of the fifth service."
"Your Zheng family is burdened by a false reputation, but there must be a limit." Mi Zhixian smiled and said: "Let it go if you shouldn't take care of it. The consequences will not be so serious."
"It's not just for fame," Zheng Jiaoyu could only whisper: "It's also for... safety."
"..." After hearing this, Mizhi County was silent for a long time, and then said: "Okay.
The next day, Mizhi County called Wang Xian to the detention room, and after talking a lot about this, he asked him how far Zheng Sixing's case had progressed.
"The process has been completed. The facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive. It is about to be sent to the signing room. After asking the master to take a look, it can be sent to the prefect's Yamen." Wang Xian's heart thumped and he said: "What?"
"Zheng Qi has been very effective in the torture chamber these years. There have been no major murders in this county for many years. It must be attributed to him." Mi Zhixian chuckled and said, "Teach him a lesson. There is no need to beat him to death with a stick."
.”
"What do you mean, sir?" Wang Xian cursed in his heart, you reneging old drunkard, aren't you asking me to sit on the wax?!
"What I mean is, it's better to use something raw than something familiar. As long as he beats it often, he won't have the guts to be disrespectful to Shangguan." Seeing that he was a little unhappy, Mi Zhixian hurriedly comforted him: "Look, I will reprimand him severely.
How about beating him dozens of times and then demoting him and keeping him?"
"What the eldest lord said is that this matter will be done as you say." Wang Xian felt unhappy, so he smiled and said: "That's good. With a leader like Zheng Si Xing, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the county.
.There are still a few months left before the county examination next spring. I would like to take a leave of absence from the elder to concentrate on preparing for the exam. I sincerely ask for your permission."
As soon as he said this, Mizhi County couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He didn't expect that Wang Xian was so young and energetic that he and Zheng Si were incompatible with each other in terms of punishment. However, when he thought about it, it wasn't surprising. If Zheng Qi continued to be his punishment, Wang Xian's face would change.
Where to put it?
"Brother, don't act out of emotion." Mizhixian hurriedly reassured: "That guy can't ride on you. If you are worried, I will guarantee it. If he does this again, I will beat him to death with a stick...
"As he spoke, he said with a somewhat condescending smile: "In short, harmony is the most precious thing, harmony is the most precious thing..."
"..." Mizhi County had already said so, and Wang Xian had no choice but to give him face, so he could only say in a low voice: "Okay then..."
Although Wang Xian released Zheng Sixing under the pressure of Mizhi County, the incident between He Chang and Li Sheng taught him a hard lesson. Since then, he has learned the lesson of "if you beat a snake, you will suffer harm instead of dying", so he cannot let it go after all.
No matter how safe the person named Zheng is.
Seven days later, Zheng Sixing, who had just eaten fifty pieces and was wounded by a stick at home, was called to the Hall of Classics and History by Wang Xian.
"He's recovering well." Wang Xian saw that he could barely walk with a limp, and his already unkind eyes suddenly became even colder.
"The humble position is far from being cured," Zheng Si Xing said fearfully: "It was just that the second master summoned me, so I had to force myself to come."
"There is such a thing," Wang Xian said directly without talking nonsense to him: "The day before yesterday, the government forwarded a sub-inspection order, requiring all counties to check the old backlog of cases. I checked the files of the criminal chamber and found that the county has been
, there are several missing persons cases, but nothing has been done.”
Zheng Sixing wiped his sweat after hearing this and said: "To tell you what the second master is saying, this county has a population of more than 100,000, and it is inevitable that a lot of people will get lost every year..."
"What do you mean?" Wang Xian said with an unreadable expression.
"Back to the second master, he has been missing for several years. If he could have come back, he would have come back a long time ago. Even though we have worked hard, we have achieved nothing." Zheng Si Xing said cautiously: "Why don't you talk to their families and the county will provide some money for their compensation?
It’s so refreshing to report a death and settle the case.”
Qi Gongzheng said that this method was actually not bad, but it was a different matter if Shangguan deliberately wanted to make things difficult for him.
'Pah!' Wang Xian slapped Xingmu hard, saying that he was a little obsessed with this kind of popping feeling. Seeing Zheng Sixing trembling with fright, Wang Xian felt secretly happy for a while, then he adjusted his expression after a pause, and said sharply
: "You are so bold and cunning, you dare to instigate your superiors and play with the criminal law. You are really arrogant! Someone is here!"
The clerk on duty hurriedly sang: "Here we are!"
"Drag me out, I'll be responsible for fifty big boards!" Wang Xian slapped him hard again and said.
Zheng Sixing was shocked, why did you hit me again? How much hatred does my butt have against you?
Seeing that the second master was suspicious, Zaoli didn't dare to play too far this time. Two or three of every ten blows were real, until Zheng Sixing's buttocks blossomed and blood flowed. However, he still thought about the incense and love, and used
The technique is seemingly heavy but actually light. Although it looks scary and sounds irritating, it actually does not hurt the muscles and bones, and the person does not faint.
Wang Xian had experienced it personally, and he knew what it was saying at a glance, but he didn't point it out. He just said in a deep voice: "Put down all your errands and do your best to find the missing persons. Don't slack off! I will strictly follow suit."
!”
"Yes..." Zheng Sixing was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. He had already realized clearly that as long as he was still in the Yamen for one day, the other party would kill him!
The other party has made it clear that he wants to use himself to establish authority, but what can he do? The official level is overwhelming, not to mention that he is an official and he is a local official... Moreover, he is very conciliatory to other people, and only targets him, so that he can
There was no chance to fight back. Either he would be tortured to death, or he would pack up and get out... Zheng Sixing had no choice at all.
The next day, Zheng Sixing requested a vacancy for recuperation on the grounds of serious illness. Wang Xian readily agreed. He handed it to Mizhi County. The elder couldn't help but shook his head, thinking that Wang Xian respected the elders and would give him some face.
.Who would have thought that when he was young and successful, he was going smoothly, but he was not given any face...
However, since Lao Mi pretended to be the god of the Wine Country, he couldn't care less about this kind of thing. After a symbolic attempt to retain him, he approved Zheng Si Xing's vacancy. But sometimes he would wake up drunk and secretly regret that he had
You shouldn't have agreed to Zheng Jiaoyu's request. This is a good thing. You have become a human being inside and outside.
Alas, people tend to drink and get into trouble. It's better for me. I'm sober up and get into trouble. I'd better keep drinking... Since then, Mizhi County has become even more indifferent to business and has completely given up power to Wang Xian. Originally, Wang Xian was only in charge of the execution room and the third squad.
Now all six rooms are under his control, which shocked Shuai Hui, who was sweating for him, with his jaw dropped.
"My lord has lost face to Lao Mi. How could he not only not be angry but also completely delegate power?" Shuai Hui asked.
"Without it, it's just that the sixty-year-old has a smooth ear. The elder has no intention of fighting for power and profit." Wang Xian said lightly: "Otherwise, how could I dare to make a mistake?"
"To put it bluntly, I think the old man is easy to bully." Ling Xiao teased Wang Xian and said, "If it were a magistrate who was not easy to bully, little Xianzi would immediately become very obedient."
Wang Xian smiled and scolded: "Do you know me well?"
"Of course," Lingxiao said with a proud smile: "I'm observing you very carefully.
"Why are you observing me?" Wang Xian touched his face and said, "I'm not a handsome man like your brother and Wei Wuque."
"Of course you are not." Ling Xiao agreed without giving Wang Xian face: "However, you have never looked down on Wei Wuque in your heart, and I'm afraid the same goes for my brother..."
"Nonsense, I have full respect for your brother." Wang Xian said seriously: "Just like I do to you."
"You look down on me too." Lingxiao stared with a pair of big black eyes and said: "The arrogance hidden in the bones is more hateful than what is shown on the face!"
"I think it's time for you to have a good rest." Wang Xian glared at her and said, "For you to say that, I look down on everyone in the world."
"No, there are those you can respect." Lingxiao clapped his fingers and said, "Uncle Hu, Magistrate Wei, and Little Fatty Wu..." He couldn't help but said in a depressed tone: "Damn it, I'm not even as good as Little Fatty Wu."
He gestured with his fist as if to demonstrate: "I must surpass Little Fatty Wu!"
"Is this girl's head squeezed by the door?" Wang Xian shook his head helplessly, ignored her, and turned to Xianyun: "What do you mean by giving me these missing persons cases?"
