Except for the worries of magistrate Lu and the people of the Zhao family.
Fellow Daoist Cui who is also kneeling now, when he knew that the person sitting in the first place is the prince, felt even more disturbed, and a feeling of extreme regret spread in his heart.
After all, the reason why he took refuge with the county magistrate Lu instead of going to the imperial capital, wasn't it for safety? '
But now anyone with a discerning eye can see that County Magistrate Lu is about to fall, and the prince will personally interrogate him. Obviously, no one can be pulled back, and it seems that he will be implicated again.
This is a bit miserable.
The youngest daughter of County Magistrate Lu married into the imperial capital.
This is marrying, no matter where she is marrying, how can the status of her husband's family be higher than that of the prince?
Although Daoyou Cui is facing a life-and-death crisis, he has a clear mind and knows that if the daughter of County Magistrate Lu really marries into the royal family.
Then there will be no 'Oolong thing' happening today.
But he can get to this point, and turn around in various worlds as a lone ranger black household, that is somewhat of a "reincarnation" strategy in the face of desperation.
For a while, Cui Daoyou thought about it, and before the county magistrate Lu who was also kneeling in front of him begged for mercy, he kowtowed again, and with a lenient mind, he shouted: "My lord is wise!"
'wise? ' When Zhang Feng heard that he hadn't asked, the man shouted, 'Wise? ’, it seemed that he wanted to betray, so he stopped the high school lieutenant who told him to shut up, and instead signaled the tainted witness to speak up, let’s see what he said.
When Daoyou Cui saw the prince asking him to speak, he immediately raised his hands respectfully and bowed to the sky, kowtowed three more times, and then said righteously,
"Xiaomin traveled here half a month ago, and suddenly learned about Lu County Magistrate's favoritism.
Immediately, I lamented the injustice for Wanxiangzong!Sad for the suzerain of Wanxiang sect! "
"You Daoist Cui?!" Hearing this, County Magistrate Lu was stunned.
Because he originally thought that Fellow Daoist Cui was someone to be friends with, but he didn't expect that fellow Daoist Cui would push him so anxiously and enthusiastically before the prince asked him before the wall fell down?
"I don't know who to employ," County Magistrate Lu sighed, it was a kind of depression of being betrayed and being interrogated by the prince, which made him cry out in grief.
And he also knew that Wang Ye and Sect Master Wan came to ask him about something.
So he didn't quibble about anything.
"Cui" is just that Young Master Zhao and the others saw that Fellow Daoist Cui betrayed them, but they felt a burst of excitement in their hearts, with hatred and killing intent at the same time!
But when Eunuch Sun moved his mind a little, a wave of aura circled and twisted, forming a series of substantial chains, binding them in place.
Zhang Feng didn't care about this scene, instead he looked at the somewhat frightened fellow Daoist Cui, and motioned him to speak again.
"My lord!" Seeing the lord's gaze, fellow Taoist Cui said as if he was going all out, "Your lord, you have also seen the murderous intent of magistrate Lu and others to get rid of the little people!
In this way, it is not difficult to see that Lu County Magistrate and the Zhao family are covering up the sky and sun in Qihe County, disturbing the audience!
Even if it is as strong as the Wanxiang sect, with thousands of disciples, they are silent in the Jianghu, and no one is the master of the Wanxiang sect
Under such power and influence, Xiaomin is already unable to protect himself, so what virtue can he do to wash away the grievances of the Wanxiang sect?
But to see the county magistrate of Lu know the law and break the law, it is also heartbreaking for my Daqi court!
As wise as the Holy Majesty and the Prince are, how can I let these corrupt officials mess with officials and defile the Daqi court?
Therefore, Xiaomin made a plan, and with the will to die, he took refuge in the magistrate of Lu County [-] days ago, hoping to collect more criminal evidence.
Someday, when the governor of the imperial capital travels to Qihe County, the little people will bring hard evidence and expose him desperately, so as to restore peace to the world!Return Qihe County to peace!
I never thought that the prince is aware of the details, and when Xiaomin is planning and looking forward to the arrival of the governor, the prince has already brought all the adults here! "
At this point, Cui Daoyou said, he looked at the Empathetic Sovereign, and nodded solemnly.
He glanced again, and after looking at the several guards whose faces were slowing down towards him, he knew there was something going on in his heart, so he bowed to Zhang Feng again, quite disregarding his safety and just wanting to prove it for the public.
"Xiaomin can be a witness and guarantee with his life that Magistrate Lu and the Zhao family are indeed suspected of violating the law knowingly!
I also hope that the Lord Mingjian will give justice to the people of Qihe County and the Wanxiang Sect! "
The words fall.
Cui Daoyou never interceded for himself from the beginning to the end, but told a hidden fact.
That is, he is 'undercover'.
He took refuge in Lu County Magistrate's Yamen this time, seemingly wanting to share a share of the wealth belonging to the Vientiane Sect, but in fact he was secretly collecting evidence of his crimes, trying to draw the bottom line and restore peace to the world.
His words, this kind of words that do not beg for mercy, but only for righteousness.
At least for this world, it is the best proof of escape, and it will definitely win the applause of many people.
But after Zhang Feng heard this, he felt that this man was a righteous man who killed his relatives!
Before the interrogation, there was a man who jumped into the water. He jumped so decisively and spoke righteously that he sold the county magistrate Lu in an instant.
As for why not report to the official in advance, file in advance.
His words also made it clear that the county magistrate Lu covered the sky with one hand, and he was a small monk, so he could only take the risk of being alone, waiting for the six governors who absolutely belonged to Zhongzheng and the imperial court.
The six governors are an inspection team composed of one person from each of the six departments. Among them, the Ministry of Rites is in charge. It is the emperor's eyeliner and can definitely guarantee fairness and justice.
As long as he risked his life to break through the blockade of Lu County Magistrate, and report with absolute evidence, the Sixth Department should accept the case of the 'Jin Legacy'.
Full of all uncertainties, it seems that there is nothing wrong with saying that he risked his life to investigate and did not dare to reveal his identity.
Also thought of here.
Zhang Feng looked at Cui Daoyou, and felt that this person was a talent.
Reversing black and white, and conforming to the rules and regulations, is no less than some sophistry.
So there is no need to ask about whether to report to the official or not.
Since he can say these words of 'do not trust any officials', if he asks again, he will definitely prevaricate.
It is also a disguised pursuit of himself, saying that he is fair and just, so he told himself his identity as an undercover agent.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me, that's a piece of interrogation.
Zhang Feng thought about it, looked at Eunuch Sun and said, "Since the evidence is convincing, let's take down the official seal of County Magistrate Lu, and then dispatch people from the city defense to escort County Magistrate Lu and everyone from the Zhao family back to the imperial capital."
As Zhang Feng said, he looked at fellow Daoist Cui alone with a righteous face, "Since this fellow daoist knows about Magistrate Lu's favoritism, he will go back to the imperial capital with the king and go to the Ministry of Punishments to testify."
"Thank you, my lord!" Fellow Daoist Cui hurriedly bowed again, but he was very happy in his heart, feeling that his 'reincarnation' plan had succeeded!
Zhang Feng looked at him with his mind, thinking that since he wanted to become a seller and take refuge in himself, he would just take him back to the imperial capital and let this scheming person try to find a player for him.
If you can't find it, such a scheming and sophistry person will be beheaded along with Lu County Magistrate and others after he has finished testifying and drawing the pledge.
Can not live up to his painstaking self-reported evidence.
Chapter 337 Putting the Bait (Two in One)
After copying Zhao's house, the county magistrate's small coffers were also copied.
After Zhang Feng asked a local clerk with excellent merit and ability to temporarily replace the county magistrate, he left from Qihe County.
Just passing through Anling County on the border of Wucheng on the way back to the imperial capital.
Zhang Feng, who was warming the cornerstone of the dragon veins in the sedan chair, heard a report from the guards in front, saying, "The Lord of Wucheng is here!" '
The implication is that the city lord probably heard about this, so he hurried to wait for the convoy near Anling County, wanting to come over to 'plead guilty'.
When Zhang Feng learned about this, he felt a little interesting.
Because I don't want to see him, and I don't want to ask about him. In fact, I want to tell him that this matter has nothing to do with him.
The city lord is fine, he has to come over and get mixed up.
No wonder the people from the Ministry of Rites, the Fourth Prince, are so rigid in their work.
But since we're here, let's meet him, so as not to miss him, the city lord is even more frightened.
"pass."
Zhang Feng gave instructions to the imperial guards, but he didn't get out of the sedan chair either.
But not for long.
The imperial guard led a serious-looking middle-aged man, who was the Lord of Wucheng.
Wait until he comes to the side of the car window next to the sedan chair.
Zhang Feng hasn't said anything yet.
But the city lord let out a mournful cry, ignoring the mud under his feet, and bowed down with a 'pata', "This kind of thing happened in Wucheng, the lower officials have an inescapable responsibility and fault!"
"The words of the city lord are a bit serious." Zhang Feng looked at the panicked city lord, raised his hand slightly, and signaled him to stand up.
But the city lord just knelt down, as if pleading guilty.
When Zhang Feng saw the city lord's appearance, he looked at it again with his mind, and knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to get rid of the responsibility if he pursued it.
Second, just as I thought before, the people in the Ministry of Rites and the Fourth Prince are like this.
The fourth prince likes to employ people like this kind of 'old-fashioned' people.
Therefore, it is better to understand it with emotion than to move it with reason.
Since he couldn't get up, Zhang Feng also thought about it, and told him some great truths,
"Wucheng has thousands of counties with a radius of tens of thousands of miles. There are countless sects under its rule, and there are as many as one hundred thousand officials. Who can be a sage and guarantee that the officials under his rule are not wrong?"
"What the lord said is very true." The city lord sighed and spoke, but then confessed: "But the magistrate of Lu county is always an official under Wu Cheng's rule, and the subordinate officials are not good at supervision, so this kind of thing happened, which alarmed the lord."
"What official?" Zhang Feng shook his head lightly, "Take the matter of Magistrate Lu as an example, it was his own fault for making a mistake.
If you really want to follow the words of the city lord and shirk the relationship, is it only the city lord who is at fault?
You must know that the magistrate of Lu County annexed the land privately, and made a false order, falsely reporting that the land of the Wanxiang sect is still there.
The inspectors of the Ministry of Industry did not conduct a detailed investigation, which resulted in the Ministry of Industry not recording it.
This is the fault of the minister of the Ministry of Industry, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is also at fault, and the prime minister in charge of the Ministry of Industry is also guilty of negligence.
The prime minister was negligent, and no one corrected it. Both the Six Departments and Dali Temple were at fault.
The six departments were at fault, and the prince was also in charge of the government, but he didn't realize it, and he was also responsible.
As the uncle of the prince, I did not discipline him well, and my fault is inevitable.
The crown prince is also the master of the Eastern Palace, and he lives in the palace all the time, and he is also the current dragon son, so it is natural for the Holy One.”
"My lord!" The city lord became more and more frightened as he heard it. He knelt down and hurriedly kowtowed to signal the lord to stop talking.
If he said anything else, he felt that he had heard bad things from the Holy Majesty, and he was going to die without others doing anything.
Zhang Feng waved his hand when he saw that the city lord was no longer entangled in this matter, "Wucheng is busy with affairs, if the matter of Xiaoxiao Qihe County delays the rest of the counties, this crime cannot be shirked."
"My lord taught me a lesson!" The city lord suddenly realized, and hurriedly got up and left.
But in his heart, he also knew that the prince was magnanimous and would not talk about him anymore.
Similarly, since he came out, the affairs in the city must be handled by other officials.
Zhang Feng also knew it, but it was all tacit.
Although he is a member of the fourth prince, he is old-fashioned, he should beg for mercy, he should plead guilty, but he still has good eyesight.
Seeing him leaving in a relaxed manner, Zhang Feng also lowered the curtain.
Just to be honest, even if he wasn't the fourth prince, he wouldn't punish him.
To put it bluntly, a small official came in with a city lord, a good city lord, the lord of the Ministry of Rites, and the confidant of the fourth prince.
Zhang Feng thinks it's better to forget it, no matter what the benefits are, it is not directly proportional.
Because the fourth prince is preparing to open a college in Wucheng to benefit the local people.
In addition, most of these people belonged to the people of Jin State and had not yet fully integrated into Daqi.
After more than ten years, the city lord has finally integrated into this place, how can he temporarily change generals?
Regardless of whether it is for state affairs or for family affairs to sell the fourth prince's face, not to punish the city lord, it is all in the interests of Daqi.
As a prince, he still enjoys the blessing of the national fortune, but he doesn't want to dig out his own foundation.
But a small official like Lu County Magistrate, and his daughter's husband in the imperial capital.
As long as it doesn't involve the level of the six ministers and the prime minister, this talk will work.
No way, although the officials in the imperial capital have great power, they have no livelihood and no 'real power'.
If you move, you will move. Apart from someone begging for mercy, there is no big disturbance.
