At the banquet, County Magistrate Xu was always worried, afraid that the magistrate would ask about the Du family's ban on alcohol. Unexpectedly, Su Shunqin did not mention it at all, as if this was not the case. On the contrary, County Magistrate Shi, because the ban on alcohol was under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate, not his own responsibility, he did not care at all, but just persuaded him to drink with pleasure.

The banquet was welcomed until the sunset. Everyone dispersed, and Su Shunqin went to rest, which made County Magistrate Xu confused.

Looking at the evening, County Magistrate Xu brought two confidants to the prison cell. In the past few days, he has been taking people to check whether there are any merchants who are evading taxes. Chen Jiexi cooperated with Wu Kejiu to arrest two private brewing companies for breaching alcohol. County Magistrate Xu heard someone say that. However, he did not take such a small matter to heart, and no one in Linying County went to find out his Wuzhi Mountain.

It was not until the news that the magistrate of Xu personally went to the county to investigate the case that the magistrate Xu became panicked. If the Du family and the Han family sold hundreds of kilograms of wine in the past few days, of course, it would be a serious crime. But no matter what happened in the world, it would be a law? As long as the case was not reported, Xu County Magistrate Xu would do whatever he wanted. Now that the magistrate has arrived in the county, even the magistrate Xu himself would have to deal with it.

When he arrived at the cell, Xu County Magistrate asked the on-duty official to take him to the cell where Du Zhongxiao and Han Lian were imprisoned.

After entering the cell, County Magistrate Xu looked at the two of them sitting by the wall, looked at him coldly, and said, "You don't have to be a younger person. I think you are a little official from Juren's family? This one is from the Han Jiajiajiajiajiajiajiajia?"

Han Lian recognized Xu County Magistrate and stood up to salute: "The county Magistrate is the two young men."

County Magistrate Xu was as frost as ice. He asked the man to bring two stools and said to them: "I have something to ask, sit down and talk."

Du Zhongxiao was not polite, and pulled Han Lian to sit on the stool.

After a moment of silence, County Magistrate Xu asked, "Tell me the truth, have you made wine privately?"

Du Zhongxiao bowed and said seriously: "County lieutenant, we have always made it clear that there is no private brewing. My father and I are both law-abiding people. How dare we go private brewing even though we know that the court has a ban on wine?"

"Why did Mr. Wu sue you for making wine privately and catch you with Chen Jiejia?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "Wu Xiaoyuanwai fell in love with the Han family's daughter Yue Niang and wanted to force a good woman into his family as a concubine, so he made up such a lie. Chen Jiewei was not aware of it for a while and fell into the Wu family's treacherous plan. Who can do it?"

County Magistrate Xu shook his head and nodded again. Chen Jiewei has been promoted in recent years. He has used it conveniently and is very fond of it, and he has a sense of protection in his heart. Moreover, among the county officials, he usually has the most benefits to accept the Wu family, so he has to find a way for the Wu family. However, now that the magistrate has arrived in the county, he has difficulty in protecting himself, but this matter is a bit difficult to deal with.

After thinking for a long time, Xu County Wei said to Du Zhongxiao: "Little official, there are some misunderstandings in this matter. These days, I was at Yingshui Ferry and I didn't know the matter in the county. My subordinates did the matter badly, which made you suffer a lot of grievances. As the saying goes, it is better to resolve enemies than to make them. We are all in the same county. We look up and see them. If you want to forgive others, please forgive others. Still, let the people of the Wu family and Chen Jiewei come to your mansion to compensate for some compensation. It is better to expose this matter. When asked about it, the state only said that this incident happened due to a temporary misunderstanding, and there is no need to make trouble for the official."

Du Zhongxiao looked at Xu County Magistrate and suddenly smiled: "County Magistrate, it's not that I'm ungrateful, but now we are in prison and I have a stick injury on my body. How can this be covered up? Tomorrow, the judge will inevitably interrogate us. Apart from telling the truth, it is really difficult to deal with."

County Magistrate Xu sighed, frowned, and secretly hated Chen Jiewei for doing the matter. He was arrested and lynched, but it was known to everyone in the county. He arrested the Du family and Han family to make wine privately and violated the ban on alcohol. It is still difficult to get rid of the tiger. The magistrate Su Shunqin has arrived in the county town. The matter is urgent, and it is too late to calm the matter down. Fortunately, he has not been in the county town these days, so after asking questions, he pushed him all.

After thinking for a long time, Xu County Wei said, "A little official, no matter what, the fellow villagers in the same county should not make a big deal. You suffered some grievances two days ago, so I will ask the Wu family to compensate you in the future. When the officials in the state ask tomorrow, they will say that everything is a misunderstanding and it will be concluded."

Du Zhongxiao looked at County Magistrate Xu with no expression on his face. After a while, he said, "County Magistrate, you have been an official for many years. At this time, you still think that everything is a misunderstanding? The injuries on my body are not fake!"

"It is inevitable that the county will interrogate the suspects and use some punishment sticks."

"If the county magistrate is interrogating here, not to mention dozens of small sticks, even if he beats him to death, there is nothing to say. But the county magistrate has been not in the county these days, and the one who was punished was the Wu family's young official. He is not a person on the official side. If you ask civilians to lynch in the official side, the matter will be discussed, so the county officials will probably be implicated. I wonder if I am saying or not?"

The boss of Xu County Wei was impatient. What he was upset about now was this matter. The rest were easy to explain. The only thing was that the county arrested people but asked a civilian to interrogate them. He was still punished in front of the public and could not fool them. As long as Su Shunqin arrested him to death, he would be evidence that the county did not repair political affairs and the rule of law was chaotic. The magistrate had the right to supervise the officials of this state, and came to the trial and the case was second.

After thinking for a long time, Xu County Wei said, "No matter what, the things are already like this, please ask the little officials to do everything. As long as there is nothing wrong this time, you will definitely be more compensation to your family in the future. Although the Wu family is domineering in the county, it is their own county government, so they will naturally be polite to you in the future."

Du Zhongxiao said: "County lieutenant, what can I do if I am a villain? If the official asks, there are naturally some things to say, and some two things to say. Do you dare to hide the people from the official? The county lieutenant's instructions will naturally not dare to disobey."

County Magistrate Xu nodded and asked some details about the two of them after they were taken into custody. The prison was under the jurisdiction of the county lieutenant. Xu County Magistrate Xu could not escape the relationship when something happened here, which was also what he was most concerned about. Although Su Shunqin did not ask anything today, County Magistrate Xu always felt uneasy and felt that something big was going to happen. Among the several officials in the county, there was probably only County Magistrate Shi who was in a gangster and did not know that the disaster was coming, and he was still there to please Su Shunqin.

After thinking about it, County Magistrate Xu sighed secretly, gave a few more instructions, and turned around and left the cell. He was not in the county town these days and just avoided it. This is a good thing. However, it is the responsibility of the county Magistrate to investigate private goods, and all the people involved are his subordinates, so he will inevitably be implicated if he pursues the Wu family. However, among the officials in the county, he has the most benefits to accepting the Wu family. He usually has the closest relationship with the Wu family, and is afraid of making old accounts.

After leaving the cell, Su Shunqin's guard Deng Jiejie was walking around outside.

Seeing that County Magistrate Xu came out, the rank of the ranks came forward and said, "It's late, and the county Magistrate is still here to investigate the case. It's really hard."

Xu County Magistrate's heart skipped a beat. Deng Jie's level is here, and most of the tenth was sent by Judge Su Tong, who was sent by Judge Su Tong to look at the prison cell. What was the intention? Judge Xu could think of it with his toes. At this critical moment, the more concerned about this case and the more frequent he walked here, the more suspicious he would be. Judge Su Tong had to record a note. Judge Xu confirmed in his heart that Judge Su Tong's coming this time was not only an investigation, but also a greater chance of attacking officials Linying.

After barely squeezing out his smile, Xu County Magistrate replied: "It's hard to get on the holiday level, so why don't you rest here?"

Deng Jiejie sighed: "I am not idle, it was the magistrate who will meet the two prisoners who violated the alcohol ban today, and I will write it down."

Xu County Weiqiang calmed down and asked, "I don't know what the purpose of communicating the magistrate?"

Deng Jiehe said: "Because Du Juren from your county said in the state that their family did not brew wine privately, and they were wronged by the forces. Du Juren was expelled from the state, and his gentle lineage was naturally maintained. It would be fine if the Juren said it was untrue. If what he said was true, then who were involved in this matter, and which officials and forces colluded with each other, the judge wanted to be punished in poverty. Be careful of the county magistrate!"

Xu County Wei coughed: "Thank you for your advice from the Jie-level. I have been at Yingshui Ferry these days, checking merchants and not in the city. I really don't know about Du Ju Ren's family affairs. If I were in the county, I would definitely not be so careless. If I had no confirmation, I would go to get the Ju Ren's family members."

Deng Jiejie said with a smile: "This is the best. Like Juren Du, his family is poor and he will lose his money once in the capital. Tongzong is really sympathetic. Now the court is the time to encourage students to study. The local government does not pay attention to scholars and let others bully them. That is against the court. Xu County Magistrate, please advise you, if it has nothing to do with this matter, it is better not to come over privately, and everything is better to follow the orders of Tongzong."

After hearing this, County Magistrate Xu hurriedly bowed: "Thank you for your advice from the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the

Deng Jiewei made this statement clearly. Su Shunqin's purpose was very clear, which was to govern the local governments and do not pay attention to scholars. Don't think that the title of a Jinshi in the township is useless, and there are names in the state. Ordinary people go to the state to complain, but they are very easy. Officials such as the prefectures can easily be seen. This time Du Xun went to Xuzhou and gave the prefectures Mei Xun and the prefectures Su Shunqin.

After saying goodbye to Deng Jie's level, County Magistrate Xu broke out in cold sweat. When he came to the cell, he had not thought too seriously about this matter. He wanted to cover up the past as before. Now it seems that he was thinking simple. Thinking about it, if it was just to investigate the case of alcohol ban, why should the magistrate come to the county and send a lie to the officials? Su Shunqin came here, and was originally coming to Linying's officials.
