Governor Ren was obviously furious, "Why am I here? Ah! You still dare to ask me why I am here."
"If I were not here today, would I know that the prefect under me decided the case this way?"
"If I hadn't been here today, would I have seen you take away the title of scholar before the decision was finalized?"
"You are not allowed to take the exam again for thirty years. You are so determined not to leave anyone a way to survive."
Magistrate Huang was frightened. He quickly stood up and muttered, "Mr. Ren, it's not..."
"It's not what it is." Governor Ren spat directly on his face.
"I remember that you were promoted from Jin'an County Magistrate. The reason why you were promoted was because the Holy Father heard that you were like a god in solving cases and that no one was wronged. The process of deciding cases was open and transparent and never perfunctory.
Later, the Holy Emperor sent Li Yushi to inspect it personally to confirm that the rumors were true and that Jin'an County was well managed by you.
Only then will you be promoted to the prefect of Mianzhou.
But it's only been less than three years.
Even if the entire southern land is under my jurisdiction, the people will live and work in peace and contentment and will not pick up lost things on the road.
I won’t let you be idle until you forget how to solve the case in just three years.”
"Did you hear what the people said about you just now?" Governor Ren became more and more angry as he spoke, "I heard it."
"From the beginning, I stood among the people and saw everything from beginning to end."
"Even the illiterate people can see that Mr. Liu just had something to say, but you just didn't ask.
Zhou Xiucai studied hard for ten years to achieve his current achievements, but because of a trumped-up charge that has no evidence and no final verdict, his whole life's future will be ruined."
"Huang Yi, is this how you want to be an official? Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"
"This, no, Mr. Governor, you don't know something. There is a reason for what you are doing today."
Magistrate Huang complained in his heart, why is this ancestor here?
You must know that this Lord is fearless, and the one he is least afraid of is His Highness the Fifth Prince.
Magistrate Huang's heart pounded, his eyelids twitched, and his face turned pale.
When Mr. Ren said this in front of so many people, how could he have any prestige in the eyes of the people?
The most fearful thing is that this person may have to go to His Majesty to interfere with him.
Then something really big happened.
"You can tell me what the reason is."
"Let me see what you can come up with."
"..." Magistrate Huang was speechless for a moment, that's all he said, and he hadn't even thought of an excuse yet.
The fifth prince's signal was given too late. It was no longer possible for him to solve the problem perfectly. He had already been caught in a pigtail, and it was even harder to find an excuse now.
"This matter is of great importance. It should not be leaked for the time being. I would like to ask the Governor to please allow me to report it later."
Ren Zhengyang was stunned for a moment, and then became furious, "Huang Yi, you piece of shit."
"Do you think I look like a fool?"
If he had agreed, he would be charged with being an official protecting one another today.
I am so unlucky that I still want to pull him away.
Magistrate Huang also realized that he had done something stupid.
Governor Ren was still furious and looked at him with a ferocious smile, "It is still a matter of great importance and should not be leaked. How big of a matter cannot be disclosed to the people?
Are you going to rebel or what?"
Magistrate Huang was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
"Master Ren, please be careful what you say. Your Majesty's loyalty to your Majesty can be judged by the sun, so you should never dare to do that."
Magistrate Huang wanted to slap himself twice.
Why did this lunatic come to Mianzhou secretly?
If he had known that he was here, he would not have dared to listen to the fifth prince's orders.
In fact, this Ren Zhengyang is different from others.
He is so honest and honest that he doesn't care if he takes even a grain of rice. He is very upright and stubborn, and even nine oxen can't get him back from something he believes in.
But he still has a fierce personality.
If someone made him unhappy, he would quarrel with them for three days and three nights like a street shrew.
Even if he confronts His Majesty, he will blush and become thick-necked.
Other nobles in the capital have also been offended by him.
However, this man was extremely capable, and in terms of knowledge and talent, there were few in the entire Great Qin who could compare with him.
Before he entered Beijing as an official, no matter which land he was in charge of, he was always praised by the local people as "Qingtian Grand Master".
So even though His Majesty hates him so much, there is nothing he can do about it.
Even this time, although His Highness the Fifth Highness helped in the middle, the main reason was that he made the emperor faint again.
Your Majesty couldn't stand him anymore, so he drove him to the south, out of sight.
Just ask the madman who doesn't even give His Majesty face, now he is targeting him.
Magistrate Huang felt like his mouth was filled with bitter taste.
"If you don't dare, then go ahead." Ren Zhengyang walked around behind Huang Zhifu in two steps and kicked him away.
After sitting on the main seat, he took the gavel and slapped it again.
"Today's case will be tried by me personally."
Magistrate Huang was reluctant, but did not dare to stop it.
As a result, Governor Ren did not immediately interrogate Widow Liu and Zhou Zhurong. Instead, he waved to the outside and quickly rushed in two men dressed as knights holding long swords.
Then he pointed at the staff member who had just delivered the token to Magistrate Huang and said, "Ma Chao, take this person down and interrogate him alone."
"Ask him what he handed to Magistrate Huang and what message he conveyed."
"Yes, sir." Ma Chao directly covered the staff member's mouth and dragged him out.
"Wang Han, immediately searched the contents of Magistrate Huang's right sleeve pocket in front of everyone and put them all on the case for later confrontation.
If what the staff said does not match what was found on Magistrate Huang's body, then I will punish them for harboring the criminal."
"yes."
Magistrate Huang's face turned even paler, "Sir Ren..."
"Just now, after I saw you collecting the things with my own eyes, I changed my mind and tried to find fault with Zhou Xiucai. The things were put in that sleeve pocket. I was not the only one who saw it. Why, what do you want?
deny?"
Magistrate Huang:......
What else could he say?
The aide was taken away for interrogation alone, and he did not dare to quibble even if he wanted to.
"Okay, this matter will be revealed in a while. Now, where is Liu?"
Widow Liu responded tremblingly, "Come back... Sir, the woman is here."
"Mr. Liu, my official position is Ren Zhengyang, the governor of the Southern Territory, who has overall oversight of all affairs in the Southern Territory.
You must answer truthfully everything I ask you.
If you tell a lie, I will punish you in accordance with the law and will not give you any mercy.
Now I ask you, what you said is that Zhou Xiucai committed adultery with you and defrauded you of a total of more than thirty taels of silver. Is this true?"
"Sir...Sir, I..." Ren Zhengyang has a big face and a wide mouth, and his eyes are as big as copper bells when he stares at her. Even if Widow Liu is frightened, it would be difficult to speak.
Liu and others just felt that Governor Ren was a bit scary at this time.
However, Chu Yun could see that the awe-inspiring righteousness had almost condensed around Governor Ren.
Mrs. Liu was lying under Chu Yun's arrangement, so under such a strong suppression of righteousness, she didn't need to act at all at this time, she just had to perform in her true colors.
