Thinking of the prince coming to their place, everyone felt excited.
When they arrived, they all had smiles on their faces, thinking of showing off in front of King Mo so as to deepen his impression of them.
When we arrived at the place and saw the situation of the county magistrate, we knew that this was a Hongmen Banquet.
They had some idea of what King Mo wanted to do with the county magistrate.
In the officialdom, no matter how small the official position is, the affairs of the court will be paid attention to.
The Chushi Mountain where they are currently specializes in producing stone strips, stones and gravel.
As long as it works well, being an official here can be considered a lucrative job.
Therefore, as long as the people in the court are lively and lively, they all want to get a piece of the pie here.
Nowadays, most matters in the DPRK are decided by Prime Minister Shu Zuo and others.
As for their Chu Shishan matter, they did not directly contact Prime Minister Shu Zuo, but in the end they did.
The so-called progressive relationship means that here he pays filial piety to the people in the city, and then the adults in the city pay filial piety to the capital.
As for which adult in the capital came into contact with Prime Minister Dao Shu and Zuo through what connections, that is a matter for the capital.
Chu Ximo saw all the officials on Chu Shishan's side kneeling on the ground, and observed each one carefully.
His silent stare made those people feel even more unsure of what he was thinking, so they became even more panicked.
After a long while, Chu Ximo raised the account book in his hand and said: "I have mastered the crime committed by Chen Xian. Now I will give you a chance to show yourselves, as long as you can tell one thing about Chen Xian
, which I don’t know. I have many rewards. I think you all know that this county magistrate will be vacant soon."
Chu Ximo threw out the bait and saw those people's eyes brightening, but still no one dared to say anything.
He rolled his eyes, glanced at the crowd again, and said: "It's okay if you don't talk about Chen Xian. Then tell each other a secret about the people you are present. It is best to make this king feel...
Interested. Of course, I am not such an unreasonable person. You can write directly on paper anonymously. The more you write, the more interested I am. Then this person may be the county magistrate! He is illiterate.
Yes, it doesn’t matter, you can ask someone from me to write it for you.”
Chu Ximo's last words were directed at the head arresters. The county government's head arrests were not required to be literate, so they might be illiterate.
After he said this, he winked at Chu Yi.
On the first day of the month, he nodded and took everyone down, and then they went to different rooms to write down what they knew.
Chu Ximo looked at Chen Xian, who was ashen-faced, and calmly said: "Chen Xian, I will give you another chance. You say it, or you don't say it!"
After seeing Chu Ximo's tactics, Chen Xian was already in despair.
He knew that what King Mo just said was enough to make those people tempted.
Whether it's the position of county magistrate, atonement for one's crimes, or wanting to climb the big tree of King Mo directly. As long as those people are ambitious and want to survive, they will definitely write down everything they know.xdw8
Now, he doesn't even have room to struggle.
He knew quite a lot about many things, but the master or the county magistrate also knew a lot.
There is no airtight wall in this world. If you stay here for a long time, you will know something about it.
"I said!"
Hearing this, Chen Xian raised his head and looked at Chu Ximo, saying: "The official is willing to tell everything he knows, just to save the life of the prince's family. They are innocent and don't know anything. Everything,
It was all done by the lower official alone..."
It's okay that Chen Xian didn't say this. When he said it, Chu Ximo suddenly became angry: "You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me! Even if you don't say it, I will know it. If you say it now, I will
Your family members will be given a lighter punishment, that’s all.”
The life of his family is life, but the lives of the people who were forcibly taken away by him are not life?
Those who were smashed to death or injured were not comforted properly, but they were actually burned directly.
It was clear that some people could still be saved and were still alive, but they were burned alive by him like this.
It's ridiculous to talk about a way out with him now!
Chen Xian has been an official here for so many years, and it is impossible for his children, wives, and concubines not to know what he is doing.
He used Chen Xian to prey on the common people, and the people were filled with resentment. When he walked to the streets and villages, the common people all had sad faces.
Anyone with eyes can see it.
The weeds are cut without removing their roots, but they will grow again when the spring breeze blows.
Who knows if his temporary soft-heartedness and the family members of the criminals he spared will harbor resentment and do something in the future.
If he is really innocent, then that's it. I'm afraid he's not.
The lighter punishment he mentioned was also aimed at the really innocent people in Chen Xian's house.
Chen Xian saw Chu Ximo's appearance, pursed his lips, and then said: "If King Mo wants to know anything, just ask. I know that I have committed a serious crime, but I hope that King Mo can be as obedient to my family as you said."
Treat it lightly. As long as you ask, I will tell you everything I know and there will never be a lie."
…
While Chu Ximo was interrogating Chen Xian, in a place where everyone was sleeping at the foot of Chushi Mountain, Yan Chunsheng's lips turned white and he was lying on the ground with a dying breath.
He and Ning settled the money with the carriage driver two days after they got married.
He had money on him, and after living in the town for a month, he took Ning with him and traveled all the way to Chushi Mountain.
They all say that having money makes it easy to do things, so the two of them soon found a village to live in and settled down.
Not even a few days into this peaceful day, his village was forced to mine stones.
It is said that wealth should not be revealed, so he wanted to keep his money secret, but it was stone mining. If he didn't do it right, he might die.
There was no other way, so he paid five taels of silver to avoid this disaster.
However, the yamen officer who took the money let him go, but there were so many yamen officers. One person said that it was just that person who let him go, but the others did not.
In this way, he lost dozens of taels of silver in one breath before he could barely escape.
But those government officials didn't know whether they were enjoying the benefits or some other reason, but they kept coming to his village.
Every time he came, he had to treat me well.
But with this reception and this coming and going, that bitch of the Ning family, for some reason, got hooked up with the arrester.
Sure enough, his mother was right, Ning was not a good woman.
But when he knew it, it was already too late.
Not only did that stinky bitch of the Ning family become the concubine of the head catcher, she also took away his apparent money and land deed.
He simply had to keep an eye on it before, and there was some money that bitch didn't know about.
Originally, if he wanted to be rich, he was not afraid of not having a woman. The people did not fight against the officials, even if they arrested the head, the worst he could do was to change his place.
But he was open-minded, and there was no doubt that the head catcher and the Ning family would let him go.
Before he could leave the village, he was severely beaten and then taken here.
