Chapter 54(1/2)
After the Gao Zhifu reviewed the case, he threw out a stack of lists and ordered the accompanying state guards to capture them.
Not only did they treat the crazy uncle and nephew, but they were also arrested, including the inn shopkeeper, the tea shed owner, the family selling sesame cakes at the entrance of the alley.
For a moment, the wind and wind in Yiping County were in a panic.
It is also a crime to be a great god, and he is more than ten clans. The prefect almost caught the dogs that had sniffed the pair of crazy uncles and nephews' trousers back to the yamen.
Incredibly cruel.
Even the magistrate Shao dared to make a statement, saying whether this would make the people anxious and the villain said. The Gao Magistrate put out a sentence, "This government has its own reason", and the magistrate Shao could only retreat.
The people captured were interrogated by the Gao Gong himself, and the experience was also very wonderful.
Before the guards brought the person to the case, the Gao Gong asked about his name and origin. Some of them didn't ask at all, and nodded directly, either released him or continued to squat.
Many of the confessions that were released were correct and those that were detained were answered similarly, as if they were detained or released, it was just whether the prefect was pleased or not.
The lights in the county government were brightly opened all night, and relatives of the arrested people gathered in front of the gate to wait for news or cry for justice. The chickens nearby were quite frightened and the dawn was in chaos.
The Gao Zhifu tried all night and did not return to the hall to rest until dawn, saying, "The ignorant and evil winds under the rule are not clear for a day, and this mansion cannot sleep peacefully for a day." Li Zhubu, Tang Shuye, Liu Shuye, Jianfang Shuye, Zhao Shuye, etc., folded their necks and visited the corridor. The attendants of the state government came and went, and suddenly there was an illusion that the county government had become the state government government.
From arrest to interrogation, the envoys of the Gaogong Prefecture were all accompanied by people. Except for a few county yamen runners who led the way for the guards of the prefecture, the rest could only accompany the prefect. Li Zhuan waited for a night and the prefecture had not had a meal, so they did not dare to eat midnight snacks. At this time, they did not dare to take the lead and eat breakfast. They felt weak all over and cold in the back. They all moved back and forth outside to activate their bloodlines. Suddenly, they saw Zhang Ping coming from the other end of the yard. Li Zhuan waved and said in a low voice: "Mr. Zhang~~Mr. Zhang~~"
Zhang Ping raised his eyelids and looked here, and walked over. Li Zhubu cage said, "Mr. Zhang stayed up all night and seemed to be very energetic. It turns out that he is so good at having a young body!"
Zhang Ping said, "Zhang just came here." He looked at Li Zhubu and others again, "How many adults stayed in the yamen all night?"
Li Zhubu and others choked up. Zhang Ping's mouth was oily and there was a leaf of leek on his teeth. It seemed that he had just finished breakfast. Liu Shuli raised his hand and gestured to Zhang Ping to pay attention to his front teeth. He asked carefully: "Mr. Zhang is going back to sleep?"
Zhang Ping sucked his teeth, sucked the leek leaf, and swallowed: "Isn't it the same as usual yesterday when I was the day of You?"
The chief clerk Li and others didn't know whether to be stunned or sighed. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ping gave up on himself and gave up. The chief clerk Li said politely: "The magistrate tried the case all night, how could we leave our post without permission?"
Zhang Ping said: "Oh, Zhang thought that it was useless to stay without our help, so it was still the same." He looked calm and calm as if he was not afraid of boiling water.
Chief Li and his friends had to laugh with each other, and Zhang Ping looked at them again: "Are you still not having a meal?"
Several people said they didn't eat it, and Li Zhubu said, "Have you eaten it?"
Zhang Ping said: "I just ate at the intersection. Suddenly I wanted to eat oil horns, so I didn't ask the kitchen to prepare meals."
Tang Shuli said: "Mr. Zhang really loves to understand people's livelihood. The old Yao family shop at the intersection has excellent oil horns. The tofu brain soup is really made from the old hen soup. The egg skin is as thin as silk, and the mushroom stalks are never used. It's just that there are many people."
Zhang Ping said: "It was what he ate at his house that the oil horns were crispy and the leek filling was very fresh. I couldn't help but eat four. The oil cake was also very good, and the tea and eggs were very tasty."
Several people were scratched by his words, and Liu Shuli said, "Mr. Zhang has a good appetite."
Zhang Ping actually smiled: "There are not many people in the shop today. Since you don't have time to eat, Zhang will buy some more."
The few people thanked him quickly and said they didn't need to.
"How can Lord Zhang bring food for Bei Zhi and others? It's impossible!"
"No, absolutely not, how dare you eat this rice?"
Zhang Ping said: "Don't be polite, Zhang is relatively idle and does everything he wants without any effort."
In one sentence, the vicissitudes of life and the slightest silence, and several people felt it. After insisting on refusing, Liu Shuli opened the topic: "Yes, Lord Zhang, Huyi is just about to ask for advice. This case, Huyi is useless and cannot work together, and I can't understand it very well. Why does the prefect pay so much attention to it? Master Tao, the teacher of the Lord, is in charge of the Ministry of Justice. Has Mr. Zhang heard of any previous examples? In this dynasty's criminal law, there has never been any such thing as a matter of jumping to the great god..."
Li Zhuan interrupted: "Liu Zhanfang, this is arbitrary. The prefect valued this matter, and there must be a major concern. Or the court wants to issue a new order, but Lord Zhang has been in the county for a long time, and he may not know about the recent affairs in the court. Lord Zhang is busy editing the county annals and has never asked about criminal proceedings in the county. Why bother him with this matter?"
Liu Shuli bowed repeatedly and said, "Mr. Zhang, I am a humble position and is confused for a while. I have talked nonsense. Don't blame me."
Zhang Ping said: "Liu Zhangfang is right, why do you need to apologize? There are other tips in this matter."
Li Zhubu and others couldn't help but look at each other. He was so hungry that he was empty and his brain was dull. He could not carefully craft his words, and he was complimented and provoked his words, and his combination was rigid. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ping swallowed the straight hook in one mouthful.
Liu Shuli said earnestly: "I am really stupid in my humble position. I hope Lord Zhang will give me detailed advice."
Zhang Ping said: "The court seems to be investigating the unrest recently."
Several people were shocked, and Liu Shuli said tremblingly: "Current~~Current party?"
Master Li looked around and whispered: "Mr. Zhang, you can't talk nonsense about this matter. How could anyone make trouble in the current prosperous times?"
Zhang Ping said with a normal expression: "It's not that the bandits are in trouble, but that some people spread rumors and borrow the sayings of ghosts and gods."
The Tang Shuister smashed his fist and suddenly realized: "No wonder the magistrate suddenly inspected the counties at this time. This matter cannot be said to be serious, and it cannot be taken care of." He kept saying, "Is it... the root of the disaster in Mutian County?"
Zhang Ping said: "It is available everywhere, and it cannot be concluded. The prefect may just be a routine."
Liu Shuli said: "We Yiping really don't have such a traitor who makes trouble! Judging from his humble duties, it is the crazy uncle and nephew who came from other places to seek medical treatment in Yiping, which is very suspicious."
Zhao Shuli said, "But it looks like it's crazy. The uncle and nephew have been jumping around the street for many days and have been arrested in the county government. What do you think is there really? Do you dare to show off like this?"
Li Zhubu was also worried about the matter. Based on the previous incident, it was inconvenient to say more. He forced a smile and said, "It's hard to say. What do Lord Zhang think?"
Zhang Ping said: "I have only seen it in the hall, so it's hard to judge."
Li Zhubu and others silently analyzed this sentence and Zhang Ping's expression, as if they could vaguely smell a hint of unwillingness and yearning.
Liu Shuli smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, don't blame me for being a low-ranking position. My subordinates have heard of the deeds of the case in the capital, but they only admire and admire. Do you have any insights into the matters that the court wants to investigate?"
Zhang Ping was silent for a moment and said, "I can't check it out in detail, so I have no insight."
The few people sucked this sentence, feeling that they were unwilling to accept it even more than the preface. They all laughed and changed the topic again. Zhang Ping responded a few words and walked away with his sleeves.
Several people looked at his back and Liu Shuli said, "I heard that Lord Zhang is addicted to investigating the case for a long time, and it seems that it is not a false message."
Li Zhubu said: "Liu Zhanfang, so are you. Lord Zhang is now focused on editing county annals, so why bother with these things in front of him?"
Liu Shuli said: "Mr. Li, you don't know. A few days ago, I heard Lao Tian say that when Lord Zhang went out to the evil Gujiazhuang area, he had visited the evil Gujiazhuang area, and asked Mr. Zhu about it. It was just that the county annals were built, so there was no need to do this. I wondered at that time, after listening to Lord Zhang's words, I suddenly realized it." The rest of them all had a look of understanding.
Li Zhubu said, "Oh, we don't know the ambition of Lingyun, and we don't want to say much. Let's just leave." After walking back into the house, the other few people also parted.
Unexpectedly, after a while, Li Zhuzhu sat in the room and suddenly smelled a scent of oil. A servant was carrying a few boxes and said to the outsider: "Sir, the young one is here to serve you."
The chief clerk Li called him in, and the servant brought a box to the case: "Lord Zhang is here to send him a villain."
Li Zhubu opened the box and it contained oil horns, oil cakes, tea eggs and other items, as well as a bowl of tofu brain. The servant said, "Please eat while it's hot. It's cold and cool, but the oil horns are no longer crisp." He bowed again, "Please take your leave first."
Li Zhubu nodded, and when he went out, he couldn't help but follow him, and looked around. He saw that the servant came to the door of the official room again, and he had to flash in. Another servant had just flashed out of the torture room, holding a food box in his hand.
After a while, Liu Shuli, Zhao Shuli, Tang Shuli and others who were standing together in the corridor just now visited the door. Li Zhubu walked to the corridor first. Liu Shuli looked around and moved over and whispered: "Mr. Li, do you have it too?"
Li Zhubu nodded.
Liu Shuli looked complicated, and Tang Shuli came over: "What's wrong with Lord Zhang? Hu Zi is actually a little frightened."
Li Zhubu said: "It seems that I have always misunderstood Lord Zhang. Although he seems cold, he is actually very passionate. Since Lord Zhang cares about us so much, I am grateful to you."
The fried goods were filled with hunger. After eating this breakfast, at noon, Li Zhubu was not hungry at all. He burped, but still smelled of leeks. He looked at the hourglass on the table, and then walked to see what was going on with Shao County. He was walking under the corridor and saw two familiar figures outside the flower window from the corner of his eyes. Li Zhubu walked lightly and walked to the moon gate of the corridor. When he looked at it, Zhang Ping and Liu Shuli were standing next to the shrub against the wall. Seeing Li Zhubu, Liu Shuli's expression was a little flustered, and Zhang Ping was still expressionless.
When he came back from the magistrate Shao, Li Zhubu saw Liu Shuli's figure flashing at the door of the punishment room from afar. After moving forward, Liu Shuli walked out of the door as if he was accidentally, and smiled in surprise: "Master Secretary."
Li Zhubu smiled and said, "Is there anything wrong with Liu Zhangfang?"
Liu Shuli said: "It's okay, it's already noon. I'm sitting so hard that my legs are numb. Come out and have a walk and get warm."
The Tang Shuli and Zhao Shuli who were talking together in the morning also walked out and talked for a while. Liu Shuli finally couldn't hold back and said in a low voice: "Tell me something, don't spread it. Just now, Lord Zhang came to me and asked me to do something. I was so worried."
The Tang Shuli said: "Why do you have to invite a meal at noon? This time I will only invite one of Liu Zhanfang, but I won't have enough time to wait?"
Liu Shuli looked bitterly: "Brother Tang, don't make fun of me." He looked around and lowered his voice, "Mr. Zhang actually asked me to take him there..." He compared his hands to the prison.
Everyone was disgraced.
Zhao Shuli said, "Then how did you go?"
Liu Shuli said, "How dare I agree? I just said I don't have a key, because the prefect wants to investigate the case, so I handed it over." He looked at Li Zhuzhu, who only listened, but smiled without saying a word.
Tang Shuli said quietly: "Brother Liu, you are really not easy to do this. The prefect cannot offend him, and Lord Zhang is not like someone who has been ruthless for a long time. Who knows whether he is really just taking his own actions in the process of interfering with these things? I heard that there are more than the ones who protect him in the court."
Zhao Shuli said: "Indeed, Lord Zhang is still young, and who can judge the fortune of a person? Oh..."
Liu Shuli's face became even more difficult when he was told this.
In the evening, Zhang Ping was about to return to the small house when a person suddenly flashed out of the corner of the wall in front of him: "Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Ping looked up and saw that it was Liu Shuli. He stopped. Liu Shuli looked around and raised his sleeves, revealing a key, and whispered: "Sir, the magistrate has returned to the temple, but you can't look at it too much, otherwise the humble position will be finished in this life."
Zhang Ping nodded: "Zhang understands." He bowed, "Thank you Liu Zhangfang."
Liu Shuli looked bitter and said, "I dare not accept the thanks from the Lord, I just hope that the Lord will not stay for a long time." He led Zhang Ping and hurried to the prison.
The guards outside the prison were strictly guarded. In addition to the original guards, there were several state prefecture guards. The guards were the first to shout, "What are you doing here?"
Liu Shuli took out the token of the torch room and a booklet: "I was ordered to investigate the prisoner in a case."
The guards scanned the two of them suspiciously: "Why not judge?"
Liu Shuli said: "I am afraid that the court trial will alert the snake, and then..."
The guard took the token book, looked through it, and then moved out: "Get in quickly and come out quickly, don't be willing to do anything else!"
Liu Shuli didn't expect it to be so easy, so he wiped his sweat and bowed: "Thank you, thank you everyone." He and Zhang Ping hurried into the gate, and saw that everyone in the prefecture had been released, so he didn't stop him.
After entering the prison, a smelly heater was blowing on his face. The prison head was very sensible and did not follow him. Liu Shuli waved his sleeves and didn't dare to open his mouth: "Sir, let's bear it in the prison."
Zhang Ping had no expression on his face. He was in the county jail for the first time. It was really a mess. Compared with that, the prison cell of the Ministry of Justice was simply Room 1, Tianzi, Hongyun Building, Beijing. The arms were dancing in the gaps of the original railings, and the dark shadows crawled. Every step he took, the soles of the shoes seemed to be stuck on the ground. In the cell, the sound of scolding was harsh.
Liu Shuli walked over and shouted, "Silent! The county magistrate is here, so no noise is allowed!"
A man stretched his neck and said, "Even if the prefect is here, I have to scold him. His grandmother caught me in prison for two crazy dicks. He couldn't be quiet. Sing, I'll tear his ancestors into thirty-six generations!"
