When Chu Xihao heard what his uncle said, he didn't think about anything else.
At that moment, he picked up the scroll that his uncle had put down earlier and read it carefully.
After seeing that it was happening in Chushishan County, I couldn't help but become serious.
He remembered how he got this opportunity to entertain the extra messenger.
Because Lao Liu said he was busy with something and couldn't come back in time.
His mother-in-law learned from Concubine Jiang that Lao Liu was now in Chushi Mountain. It was said that the county magistrate there did not do anything and burned people alive.
The mother and concubine didn't know what was going on specifically, and he naturally knew even less.
I think this scroll is talking about things over there.
Wang Qingquan also came over at this time, glanced at the scroll carefully, and said: "About this time, Xihao, what do you think? What would you do if it were you?"
This scroll was sent directly to him by King Mo Chu Ximo's people who rushed quickly.
The purpose is that once the evidence is conclusive, he will be executed directly without notifying him and without a joint trial among the three departments.
He admits that he has been in charge of the Criminal Department for many years and has always handled cases impartially. When facing prisoners, his heart is as hard as iron.
But when I saw what was described in the scroll, I couldn't help but get angry.
That is simply treating ordinary people as human beings. Just hearing it makes people feel irritated. It is really hateful.
No need for King Mo to tell him, he knew that if a county magistrate dared to do such a thing, there must be someone protecting him from above.
The local county magistrate is in charge of Chushi Mountain, and a lot of the stones mined there every year are probably sold privately.
The money earned was either kept secretly or used as filial piety.
"Be close to the people, look for evidence, and once it is confirmed, accuse him directly. But in this way, it will inevitably alert the snake. Therefore, after the evidence is confirmed, arrest the person, send someone to control the Chushi Mountain, and then follow the county magistrate's line to find out
Who is on top? Also, the whereabouts of the quarry subsidy money must be found out, and the people need to be reassured..."
Chu Xihao had no great ambitions and had never thought about being an emperor. He knew where his abilities lay.
Because of this, he liked to be close to his uncle Wang Qingquan since he was a child.
He is also quite familiar with the criminal department where he works.
Ever since he became enlightened, he had only one thought in his mind: to join the Criminal Department and take over his uncle's position.xdw8
Now he has entered the Ministry of Punishment as he wished and serves in the Department of Punishment.
It's just that now I was suddenly called by my father to entertain extra messengers. That was a matter for the Ministry of Etiquette.
Because of this, he hasn't been to the Criminal Department for a few days. Now that he saw this case, he couldn't help but be cautious.
Now it seems that the people who will arrange people in places like Chushi Mountain are probably Shu Zuoxiang and others.
Since Chu Shishan is like this, wouldn't it be possible that Chu Yan Town, which produces well salt, also has their people?
Thinking of this, his face darkened and he said: "Uncle, I think you need to send someone to go to Chuyan Town privately. Maybe the situation there is similar to Chushishan."
Wang Qingquan had never thought about this before, but now when he heard it, his face condensed: "Well, I will give the order!"
If something really happened to Chuyan Town, it means that Shu Zuoxiang and others have really stretched their hands far enough.
Does that mean that in addition to Chu Shishan and Chu Yan Town, even iron ore and silver mines have been mined privately?
The more Wang Qingquan thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the pores all over his body stood up.
Is Shu Zuoxiang and others really going to rebel?
How many things did King Mo find? Maybe he needs to show his loyalty to the emperor and side with Jiang Mansion.
In the county government office in Chushishan, Chu Ximo looked at the rows of wooden boxes on the ground that had been found in the cellar in the backyard of the government office.
After opening it, he saw rows of silver ingots in the wooden box and snorted coldly.
He looked at Chen Xian who was kneeling on the ground and said as if looking at a dead person: "Now that the evidence is conclusive, you'd better take practical measures. I can still deal with it leniently. Otherwise, even if the nine tribes are not punished, the three tribes will not be able to escape."
.”
When Chen Xian heard this, he knelt on the ground on all fours and trembled all over.
He never dreamed that he would be kneeling on the ground.
Just an hour and a half ago, he was enjoying himself with his concubine in the inner room.
At this moment, the government office was accused, and all his family assets were confiscated. Even the account books he had always hidden so well were in the hands of the person in front of him.
King Mo, according to the news, shouldn't he be in the capital, busy receiving extra messengers? Why is he here?
Chu Ximo looked at Chen Xian and said nothing. He winked at Chao Chu and saw him step forward and kick Chen Xian.
Chen Xian rolled around on the ground and crawled there again. The sweat on his head fell in large drops, but he remained silent.
Seeing this, Chu Ximo said coldly: "Loyalty is a good thing, but it depends on who the target is! Zhai, go and escort all his wives, concubines, and children. I want to see today how tough his mouth is! Why don't you?
I have brought the county Wei, the master, the chief registrar, the county magistrate, the official, the chief arrester, etc. all here!"
Chu Ximo had already obtained the account book, and he flipped through it at random. What he saw was different from what he had inquired about these days, and many of them were not written in the account book.
Presumably there must be something he doesn't know, and these must be told by Chen Xian himself.
Otherwise, with that account book, he could kill people directly now.
Before coming out, because of the canal incident, his father gave him a token in private, in order to deal with Shu Zuoxiang's minions in various places.
But I never thought that after dealing with Shu Tianjie, I would use it here immediately.
"yes!"
After Zhai went down, Chen Xian felt increasingly uneasy.
He was not afraid of his wife and concubines being brought here. After all, his family members did not know what he had done. If King Mo wanted to know something from their mouths, it would be impossible.
He recognized that the mistake he committed would result in death, and the most that his family could do was be sentenced to exile.
At that time, for the sake of his loyalty, the people above him will be able to do something to save his family's life.
As for what King Mo said about killing the nine tribes and going to the three tribes, it was just to scare him.
But if he brings the county magistrate, the chief registrar, the master, etc., there is no guarantee that those people will betray him out of fear of death.
If King Mo knew everything about him, he would really have to kill more than three clans.
Just when Chen Xian was considering whether to take out the tray, all the people Chu Ximo named were brought there.
Chen Xian's family members had their mouths gagged and tied up, and they all knelt aside.
When other officials, big and small, saw this, their scalps were numb, their legs were shaking, and their teeth could not stop chattering.
It was obviously a hot day, but everyone was sweating and their limbs were cold.
Because Chu Ximo hid his identity to investigate Chu Shishan, all the officials here didn't know there was such a person.
When the government office was quietly controlled, it was almost night, and they also went to the government office and returned to their homes.
When they were brought here, they only knew that Mr. Chen had sent someone to invite them, saying that King Mo was visiting and asked them to come over.
