Fengle County Xiuwen County
In the noodle restaurant, Su Zhao and Fengle county government officials who had concealed their identities were eating at the noodle restaurant.
Not long after, the little girl with shofar braids came out of the room with a bowl of steaming noodles, and said with a smile like a flower, "My lord, you have been waiting for a long time."
"You didn't wait long." Su Zhao raised his head, looked at the little girl's smiling face, and couldn't help but be infected by the smile, and said, "My lords, the common people live and work in peace and contentment, and smile happily, isn't that what we are pursuing diligently? "
Zou Yi said with a smile, "What you said is very true."
Seeing the warm atmosphere, Fengle chief Shi Houjing at the side laughed and said jokingly: "My lord, this noodle restaurant seems to be in good business, and there are people coming and going."
"And this side, the fragrance is so strong that it really makes people look appetizing."
Su Zhao smiled and nodded, "Don't just talk, whoever is hungry, eat first."
As he spoke, he pushed the fragrant noodles to the Jun Cheng.
Jun Cheng Liang Yan said with a smile: "Young master, eat first, you are not hungry when you are humble."
With the effort of humility, I heard the waist-thick woman eating in the bucket and her man muttering in a low voice: "It's not too shabby for a few big men to push around for a bowl of noodles."
"Don't say a few words..." The man on the side whispered to the woman.
Jun Cheng Liang Yan's face darkened, and he blurted out, reprimanded: "Bold..."
But Su Zhao glared at him, and swallowed back the second half of the words that came to his lips.
Su Zhao said with a smile: "This bowl of noodles, Mr. Liang, why don't you eat it first, or it will be cold."
Liang Yan, the governor of Fengle County, how dare he refuse at this time, took the noodle bowl, picked up the chopsticks, took a piece of chopsticks, and ate in small bites.
Suddenly, the little girl with shofar braids served several bowls one after another, and everyone got noodles one after another.
Just like that, Su Zhao and a few people walked and chatted, and at the same time used their spiritual thoughts to use the human dragon energy to scatter in the alleys of the market, listening to the chats of some people in tea houses and restaurants.
In the market, fish and snakes are mixed, and various news are mixed, and it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity, which needs to be carefully screened.
As the saying goes, those who lose knowledge of politics are in Kusano.
On the contrary, he could also hear about the political advantages and disadvantages of the Xiuwen county government.
However, at this moment, a scene was seen in the divine sense, Su Zhao frowned, his eyes were deeply focused.
The accompanying people were all good at observing words and expressions, old bureaucrats and the like, looked at each other, and saw that Su Hou's expression was different, so they didn't know what happened.
Zou Yi said: "My lord, but this side is not to your liking?"
Su Zhao smiled and said: "Although the noodles are plain, they suit your appetite, it's just... that's all, gentlemen, let's finish this bowl of noodles."
In his divine thoughts, he found that a few streets away, an old man with white temples and a sallow face was sitting on a thin wooden coffin. The Zhoufang clansmen wore linen and filial piety, and carried the thin wooden coffin towards Xiuwen County. Going to the Yamen, as the movement became louder, there were people on both sides of the street watching.
Some of them pointed and whispered, "This is a member of the Qi family. I heard that the land and the mansion were confiscated by the government. The son was beaten to death on the spot for resisting the government. The daughter-in-law was also taken over by the county magistrate. This is carrying the coffin to sue the county magistrate."
"How can it be helpful to seek the county's honor to file a complaint? The county officials should go to Wendu to protect each other." An old man with a goatee and a jacket shook his head and said.
"The Qi family may have heard that Marquis Su visited Fengle County, maybe this family wanted to deliberately make things worse." The shopkeeper of the cloth shop along the street said with a smile.
In Su Zhao's spiritual thoughts, he captured the information, his eyes were gloomy, and he shook his head secretly. After thinking about it, he thought it would be better to give County Magistrate Xiuwen a chance.
When Zou Yi and the others saw the young gentleman frowning slightly, they also became more disturbed, secretly thinking, did something happen in Xiuwen County that made Suhou angry?
Several people lowered their heads and did not speak. They ate the noodles and wiped their mouths after they finished eating one after another.
Su Zhao called the store to check out.
"Young master Chenghui, five bowls of noodles, a total of [-] Wen." The little girl said crisply.
Among those who were vying to pay first, Su Zhao smiled, waved his hand, took out a small piece of broken silver, gave it to the little girl, and said softly, "You don't need to look for it."
After saying that, he got up and said with a sigh of relief: "Masters, let's go, let's go over to see the excitement."
At this moment, in his spiritual thoughts, the Qi family, who were carrying the coffin to sue, had already arrived outside the gate of the county government, but they met a group of slaves who came from nowhere.
That group of vicious slaves, led by a young man in brocade robes with a fair face and wearing a beam crown, blocked the Qi family's way.
"What an old thing, you can't be entangled, right? You still dare to carry the coffin and sue me, beat me! If you beat me to death, it's mine!" The young man in brocade snorted coldly and raised his hand. The servant with the stick rushed towards the man in mourning.
"Hey, outside of the county government, you dare to cause trouble!" At this moment, the head catcher who came out of the Yimen gate of the county government shouted solemnly as he walked towards the gate.
"Brother Wang, it's me." The brocade-robed youth took a few steps quickly, stopped the gate, and went to catch the head under the eaves.
"It's you, Zhao Yang! Let me tell you, the magistrate has been troubled for the past two days, and you guys are fighting here, how brave you are!" The headhunter with the surname Wang, with a hulking back, came with a knife while speaking, The brocade robed youth was stopped.
Walking closer, the young man in brocade robe took Wang Butou's arm, quietly took out a gold ingot from the sleeve, and handed it to Wang Butou, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, brother, I will make troubles like this If you want to drive them away, it just so happens that you don't bother the county venerable's cleanliness."
The head catcher surnamed Wang pushed the gold ingot back calmly, lowered his voice, and warned: "In front of the county government, you dare to indulge your slaves and hurt people, it is lawless! Su Hou's car arrived in Fengle County yesterday, maybe When will you come down to investigate, you should be more careful! And if you dare to offer bribes under the watchful eyes of everyone, who would dare to accept your money!"
The complexion of the brocade robed youth changed, and he sneered, "It seems that Brother Wang is not selling his brother's face."
Wang Butou said in a low voice: "You are so reckless, you will implicate Mr. Zhao, you can't help it!"
"You don't need to scare me. Su Hou is still in Fengle County, and he won't be here for a day or two. If these people keep complaining, it will be a big trouble! Not only will my father be implicated, but even the county lord It's hard to be alone!" The brocade-robed youth finished in a low voice, and without waiting for Wang Butou to say more, he turned around, his expression reappeared, and he sternly shouted at the servant who had been waiting for a long time: "Hit me! Fight to the death! These people carry coffins and attack the county government, which is like a rebellion, and they don't matter if they are beaten to death!"
Wang Butou's face was gloomy, he pressed the Yanling saber on his waist tightly, looked at the Zhao family who were holding sticks, and beat the Qi family.
When Su Zhao and Fengle County Magistrate Zou Yi came, they saw the Zhao family who were beating the Qi family from a distance, and their faces were gloomy.
"My lord..." Zou Yi felt his eyes go dark, his hands and feet were cold, his face was ashen, he hesitated to speak.
Su Zhao sneered and said: "In broad daylight, the sky is bright, and it is still in front of the county government. In Fengle County and Xiuwen County under Zou Qing's rule, such a bizarre thing happened, it really makes Gu am amazed."
Zou Yi's face was gray and defeated, he lowered his head, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I'm guilty of my crime."
Su Zhao sneered, "What's your crime?"
After finishing speaking, Su Zhao didn't look at Zou Yi any more, but asked Wei Yun, the judge of Fengle County, and shouted, "Where did the Xiuwen Zhao family come from? And who is the county magistrate of Xiuwen?"
Cao Weiyun of Fengle County looked terrified, heard the inquiry, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiuwen county magistrate is Zhou Cheng, and the Zhao family should be the county magistrate Zhao Bing's family."
Su Zhao chuckled, and said: "The county magistrate, a mere eighth-rank official, his son is so bold and lawless, and he is still in Xiuwen County, the most affluent Fengle County. I don't know who gave him the courage!"
Seeing that no one dared to respond, Su Zhao glanced at the quiet county government office again, and said, "Our county lord Zhou is quite calm."
Behind Zou Yi, Liang Yan, the prefect of the county, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have the honor to report the matter of the Qi family."
"Oh?" Su Zhao turned to look at Liang Yan, then looked at a fat black official, and said, "Wei Facao, stop these people first."
At this moment, the servants and servants of Qi and Zhao's two families had already started fighting, and the servants and policemen at the gate of the county government looked at each other in blank dismay.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Su Zhao asked calmly.
Liang Yan, the county magistrate, said: "The Qi family is a big family in Xiuwen County. They have more than a thousand acres of land and more than [-] shops. They are rich and wealthy. There was a conflict with the Qi family, and Qi Liang, the son of Qi Tai, gathered a group of tenants to fight against the government. At that time, the county magistrate, Zhao Bing, was beaten. Afterwards, Zhao Yang, the son of Zhao Bing, heard the news, and gathered the yamen servants and county thugs to help. Death... After the incident, the Qi family also handed in a complaint to the county. The county magistrate Zhou Chengwen was shocked and reported it to the county. Gathering crowds to resist the national policy, beating officials, and disturbing the local government, so he was beaten to death... But the county also sentenced Zhao Yang to a fine of three hundred and hard labor for half a year. The two sides are making trouble, and the Xiuwen county government can't bear the disturbance, and this old man of the Qi family has come out to carry the coffin and sue again today."
"This statement is not entirely untrue." Su Zhao said in a deep voice with an indifferent expression.
Jun Cheng Liang Yan looked surprised and said in disbelief: "This...is there something else hidden?"
Su Zhaodao: "Qi Liang has a wife who is unparalleled in appearance and beauty. After the incident, Zhao Yang, son of the Zhao family, took advantage of the new policy of the imperial court to occupy Qi Liang's wife."
Liang Yan's complexion changed, and he said in horror: "Your Majesty, there are such things as perverting the law? I don't even know!"
Su Zhao didn't continue talking, but glanced at Zou Yi and said, "Don't you know Zou Qing too?"
Zou Yi said: "I...you should know that I am responsible for negligence, and I ask your majesty to punish the crime."
duty of oversight...
Even after a thousand years, the integrity of officials is not bad.
Su Zhao pondered and said: "Even if Zou Qing doesn't know about the matter here, neither does Zhou Cheng? Even if Zhou Cheng doesn't know, Zhao Bing still doesn't know?"
He has an impression of all the county magistrates of the State of Su, who recommended him this week?
That's right, Fan Yanxu, the former Sikong of the Soviet Union, is now the Minister of the Ministry of Industry of the Great Soviet Union, and the Minister of Political Affairs.
Su Zhao frowned, and searched Zhou Cheng's resume from his memory, a small official in the Sikong Mansion in the Central Plains of Wendu, who was dismissed for his meritorious service in fighting floods in the flood river.
On this side, Wei Facao first found the arrester surnamed Wang, and showed his identity badge. The face of the arrester Wang changed. After a while, the arresters in the county government quickly came out, holding water and fire sticks, and began to beat the two people who were fighting each other. The servants of Qi and Zhao families forcibly separated.
At this moment, Su Zhao has removed the cover-ups of the county officials in Fengle County, and the appearance of five high-ranking officials in the county, among the crowd, just aroused the surprise and avoidance of the onlookers.
Su Zhao's eyes were calm, but he couldn't see any emotion, and said, "Zou Qing, it's up to you to handle this matter."
As he spoke, he walked towards the crowd, quietly hid himself, and quietly watched the development of the situation.
He wanted to see what went wrong in Fengle County, whether it was the subordinate officials at the county and township pavilions playing tricks, or the county government and the central government were fighting with gods.
Don't look at the few people behind him, they just answered each other without any leaks, but there are many doubts and undercurrents in his heart, and now he can't see which one is hiding the traitor in his heart.
Even if he throws himself into the legal net of humanity with his spiritual thoughts, he can only gather all kinds of secret words, but it is difficult to see into the depths of people's hearts and ghosts. He is not... An An after all.
Even if Zhou Cheng was silent about it, whether he had other plans or not, it needs to be investigated for clarity.
Zou Yi breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this test was halfway through, he secretly scolded Zhou Cheng for being incompetent, and Zhao's father and son were utterly stupid.
Zou Yi strode forward, met the gazes of the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "Where is Magistrate Zhou?"
The Qi and Zhao families who were drunk originally looked at them with pain.
Wang Butou cupped his hands and said: "I have seen the county guard, my county magistrate..."
At this time, I saw a middle-aged official wearing a seven-pin black gauze hat and a blue official robe walking quickly at the Yimen of the yamen hall. grown ups."
Zou Yi said in a deep voice: "I inspected this county and went to the outside of the yamen, but saw Qi and Zhao families fighting each other with weapons. I couldn't bear to look directly at them. Why didn't Magistrate Zhou let people stop them!"
Zhou Cheng raised his head, glanced at Zou Yi, and looked behind him. Seeing that Fengle Jun Cheng and Chang Shi were all there, he knew something in his heart, and he cupped his hands and said, "Mr. The Qi Mansion made trouble because of its son Qi Liang, and it didn't happen in a day or two. It was all done by Master Liang and Lord Wei in the county. They resisted the national policy of reform, and they deserved to die! And the Zhao family involved the son of Zhao County Prime Minister, The subordinate is also very helpless."
Zou Yi snorted coldly, and said, "Of course I know about the Qi and Zhao families. It's just that Zhao Yang took over Qi Liang's wife. Why didn't you report it to the county?"
Zhou Cheng was startled, dumbfounded and said: "This matter, the lower officials have clearly reported it? Even if there is no official document, this section should be recorded in the dossier."
Zou Yi's complexion changed suddenly, and various guesses arose in his mind.
However, before Zou Yi could open his mouth, the county magistrate Liang continued to shout: "Don't lie to the magistrate of Zhou County, where is there any report in Xiuwen County! The official documents and files of the county have been recorded, so you can send someone to ride a fast horse to fetch the file at this moment." , Document verification."
Su Zhao looked at this scene with thoughtful eyes.
