The new magistrate was going to appoint Liu as manager of the Liu family, and the news spread like the wind within the yamen.
As the officials traveled around, the news also leaked out, and soon spread to the city of Benzhou, and spread to the entire Tongzhou area at an even faster speed.
The merchants and common people who heard the rumors all looked shocked. When talking privately, they admired the courage of the new Zhizhou, but were not optimistic about the hasty behavior of the new Zhizhou.
The Liu family is not ordinary powerful!
Their family has a girl as a concubine in the palace. This kind of relationship is in the capital. Generally, the powerful and powerful families are not willing to provoke it easily. What's more, it is Tongzhou, the gateway to the capital. There are no powerful and powerful noble families here. Although the Liu family is just a recent
He is a rising power, but his strength is quite strong. He is a difficult being that few are willing to easily provoke.
The newcomer to the state has a good intention to uphold justice, but he is afraid that the final result will be unsatisfactory, and he may even be unlucky.
It's not that Prince Zhongshun would care about such trivial matters, but officials who wanted to curry favor with the prince would take matters into their own hands and clear away the prince's dissatisfaction as a stepping stone to surrender.
The news reached the ears of powerful figures, but they just laughed it off.
Does the elder still think that this is still the heyday of Rongguo Mansion?
If you want to slap the Liu family in the face, aren't you afraid of knocking out your teeth? In the end, you will end up stealing the chicken but losing the rice?
Or, the eldest master is just a pretense. After all, he is the new magistrate of the state. He has to express his disapproval of the first case he encounters.
As for whether justice can be upheld in the end, it depends on whether the Liu family understands the rules.
After all, they are descendants of powerful people in the capital. Even if the Liu family falls in love with Prince Zhongshun, how much influence can a concubine have on the prince? She may be rejected at any time, or even directly rewarded to his subordinates. I really thought that Tongzhou was away from the capital.
It's far away, don't you know the filth in the palaces of the powerful and powerful people in the capital?
Even the Liu family didn't take it seriously when they heard the news. They just watched the eldest man's fuss and waited until the heat was almost over before they came forward. They had to give the eldest man some face, didn't they?
Therefore, in such an inexplicable tacit understanding, Manager Liu, as the defendant, was temporarily abandoned.
After half a day, the head catcher and his subordinates came back with the people in custody.
The eldest man came to the hall again. He didn't bother to take another look at the arrogant and fat middle-aged man in brocade clothes. He directly asked, "Has the person been rescued?"
"Rescued!"
The squad leader answered feebly, with a black circle under his left eye. It was obvious that the process of rescuing people was not that smooth.
"Were you hurt?"
As if he didn't see it, the elder continued to ask questions.
"this……"
The class leader looked embarrassed, and carefully glanced at the arrogant and wealthy middle-aged Manager Liu behind him.
"I'm asking you, why are you so hesitant? Do you still want to do it in the Yamen?"
The elder glared and said angrily: "If it hurts, it hurts. If it doesn't, it means it doesn't. I can't answer such a simple thing. It seems there is something wrong with my brain!"
You are the only one who has a brain problem, your whole family has a brain problem!
The squad leader was very angry at the elder's words. When his mind got hot, he said directly: "Sir, the victim's wife and daughter were severely beaten, and the injuries on their bodies were not light. If we hadn't gone there in time, one of them might have suffered a serious injury.
invaded!"
"You have to pay the price for talking nonsense!"
Before the eldest man could speak, the wealthy middle-aged manager Liu who had been standing silently beside him suddenly spoke up, with a gloomy face and a sneer: "I hope the bear catcher doesn't make a mistake!"
Xiong caught his mind and realized what he had just missed. His face turned pale and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything in the main hall of the state government.
I will just watch you pretend and fly!
The old man was sitting upright in his official chair. He didn't reprimand or react in any other way. He watched indifferently as Manager Liu roared in court and threatened the state government's arrest. He was as arrogant and domineering as he wanted. Okay.
It seems like this is steward Liu's house, and he is scolding his servants.
It was really amazing. The elder said that his eyes had been opened. It was absolutely rare to see such a scene in the capital. Even the powerful prince would not dare to make such a big deal.
You are so awesome, why are you just a little prince? The one sitting on the dragon throne is looking at you, do you feel a chill running down your spine?
In the current situation, Manager Liu's arrogance is really eye-opening. A mere servant of the Liu family dares to be so arrogant in the government office, which shows how arrogant and arrogant he is on weekdays.
"Lord Zhizhou, aren't you just a small character who doesn't know how to appreciate others? There's no need to engage in such a big battle. At the worst, I can just pay some money to that guy, right?"
Manager Liu threatened Bantou Xiong, turned to the elder and smiled, "I don't know what Master Zhizhou wants. I have something to do for my master, and I want to send a batch of valuable gifts to the palace in the capital!"
Wo Cao, you actually dare to use the palace to oppress people. Manager Liu's courage is really boundless.
"What if I don't agree?"
The elder smiled and said, but the words he said were not so pleasant: "I wonder what Manager Liu has in mind?"
"snort!"
The smile on Guanshi Liu's face faded and he sneered, "Master Zhizhou, please don't make a mistake. If you delay sending gifts to the Royal Palace in the capital, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it, right?"
As he spoke, he looked arrogant and his eyes almost reached the top of his forehead.
I was a little angry in my heart, how dare I not give him face because I didn't understand the rules. If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely play with this guy and let him know how powerful he is.
Isn't it just a small magistrate? If one day I don't like it anymore, I will find some tricks to tell you to get out!
Not only Manager Liu, but also all the police officers of the Zheng Yamen, as well as secretaries and other minor officials, were very dissatisfied with the elder. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot defeat local snakes, and besides, the elder is not a strong dragon.
"Someone is coming!"
The eldest master still looked calm, and with a smile he spoke and ordered: "Take down this criminal who dares to threaten the imperial officials in the court, and give him thirty spanks first!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the hall was shocked!
All the government servants and officials did not expect that the elder would do this, and they were stunned on the spot and were at a loss.
"Master Jia, how dare you!"
Manager Liu was the first to react, with a ferocious look on his face and roared angrily: "Do you still want to hang out in Tongzhou? I will definitely kill you..."
Before he could finish his words, he was hit in the mouth by a wooden sign. His front teeth suddenly banged and he fell to the ground. The huge sound made all the officials feel sore at the bottom of their teeth. It must have hurt to death.
The old man took back the hand that threw out the wooden sign like a normal person, glanced at Team Leader Xiong lightly, and snorted coldly: "Didn't you hear that? I'll take him down and beat him to eighty times. If he's not dead, he'll be put in prison."
I remember that this is the prison cell with the worst environment. If you dare to do anything secretly, then go in together!"
Leader Xiong felt his heart tremble. He was so frightened by the big master's glance that he felt frightened and did not dare to neglect. He nodded hurriedly in response and told his men to arrest him quickly.
It's so shocking. The big boss took action just when he said he would take action, but there was no warning at all!
How could such a neat person be threatened by Manager Liu?
Manager Liu, is this guy out of his mind? The eldest man comes from a powerful family in the capital. Even the palace will not provoke you at will. Why are you afraid of you, a small steward from a powerful family in Tongzhou?
All the officials were shocked by the resolute and resolute attitude of the elder. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they did not dare to show any slightness in front of the elder. If they accidentally hit the muzzle of the gun, the elder would have nothing to say.
They don't dare to mess around with their future.
The sound of the wrench being cracked could be heard clearly, but when it hit Manager Liu, it shocked the officials in the main hall and made them understand who had the final say in the state government.
As for Manager Liu's screams like a pig being slaughtered, no one dared to pay attention at this time. The elder was still sitting in the main hall watching, who wanted to lose his job and went up to fawn over him.
The eighty-year-old man was beaten hard, and even though the officer who started the torture had spared his hands and no bones were injured, Manager Liu was still beaten until his face turned pale and he could hardly breathe in, and he looked like he only had half a life left.
.
"Send him to prison!",
After waving his hand, the elder no longer had the intention to continue looking at Manager Liu's dead fish expression. When they were taken to the prison, the elder slowly glanced at the officials in the main hall and said relaxedly: "I don't have any rules.
Duo, the most important thing is to be obedient. There is no room for people with outward thoughts in the yamen. You all need to think about it carefully and get off!"
After saying that, he ignored the stunned and distracted state government officials and went straight back to the study room in the backyard of the government office. Jia Ying, who was responsible for inquiring about information, had been waiting for a long time.
"Tell me what's going on?"
Sitting on the chair, the elder went straight to the topic and asked: "Is there any problem with the Liu family, or how deep is the connection with Prince Zhongshun, and can it be connected with that village full of killers?"
"Master, we are lucky this time. The Liu family happens to be the representative of Prince Zhongshun in Tongzhou, and the manager Liu who was captured is in charge of the Liu family's food, grass, vegetables, etc., part of which is sent to the killer village every three months.
!”
have to!
A sneer appeared on the elder's face, and he said with a chuckle: "I originally thought of forcing the Liu family and the killer village to be together, but I didn't expect that they had been in contact for a long time. This time, it saves me a lot of trouble!
"
"Master, when are we going to destroy that killer village?"
Jia Ying asked anxiously, "There is such a dangerous place on the border of Tongzhou. Naturally, the sooner it can be cleared, the better."
What are you doing?"
The elder waved his hand and sneered: "Since the Liu family is so careless, there is no need for us to do it ourselves. I will do it again later and directly reveal the news to Jinjin so that someone from Jinjin can solve the problem personally.
How much trouble will it save us?"
Jia Ying looked in admiration. The elder's stabbing method was so slippery...
