"Gan Tuyuan? Why is his army surrounding the county government office?"

Zhou Qing and Gan Tuyuan, a civil servant and a military general, couldn't compete with each other, so how could they be involved together now?

"It's Governor Wu."

Feng Jiming said: "There are several cases where Governor Wu has already finalized the verdict, but was overturned and sentenced severely by Magistrate Zhou..."

Li Xun frowned: "Prince Wu also came to Wu'an County?"

"President Wu is at the county government office now. It was under his order that Gan Tuyuan came with his troops."

Feng Jiming bowed his hands and said: "General, if you have anything to say, we can talk about it on the way. Magistrate Zhou is not a human being inside and outside now, and he is in a difficult situation."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Li Xun nodded and asked no more questions.

"Li Xun, you went like this before you understood the situation. What to do if something goes wrong? It's better to go back to the Governor's Mansion first, pick up the people and then go to the county government office."

Fan Zhongyun persuaded him and said that Gan Tuyuan was a member of Wu Heng, and he would listen to Li Xun's instructions but not the announcement. He was a little worried about Li Xun going alone.

"What are you afraid of? I am the governor of Wuzhou and Gan Tuyuan is my subordinate. How dare he do anything to me?"

Li Xun said coldly: "I am on friendly terms with them, but they are biting my nose. I am the governor of Wuzhou. Gan Tuyuan led troops into the city without my consent. How can he take me seriously?"

If I don't show him how powerful he is, how can I still hang out in Wuzhou in the future?"

Seeing that Fan Zhongyun wanted to persuade him again, Li Xun waved his hand: "Old Fan, I know what I know and I won't mess around. Don't worry."

After that, Li Xun asked Ouyang Li to return to the Governor's Mansion, notified Shan Qiu to lead the troops there, and then rushed to the county government office with Jiang Daxiong and Feng Jiming.

Zhou Qing was transferred to Wuzhou as county magistrate, and this county magistrate was Wu'an County.

Zhou Qing's predecessor, the magistrate of Wu'an County, was named Zhu Lin. He had only served for more than two months. Logically speaking, he had not yet completed his term, but he was transferred. It was not because Zhu Lin felt that the place was remote and the environment was not good, so he wanted to leave.

It was Wu Heng, the governor of Wuzhou, who forced him to leave.

After Li Xun took office, as the local magistrate of Wu'an County, Zhu Lin paid a visit. During the chat between the two, Zhu Lin talked about his experiences.

As Zhu Lin's immediate boss, it is impossible for Zhu Lin to disrespect Wu Heng. Many things are done according to Wu Heng's will. However, recently due to a civil case, the relationship between Zhu Lin and Wu Heng completely broke down.

A month ago, a murder case occurred, involving marriage.

The marriage system in Dashi is somewhat different from that in the Jin Dynasty. In the Jin Dynasty, there was only one wife and many concubines, but in Dashi, there could be up to four wives, and every wife must be treated fairly. Once one of the wives feels that her husband treats her

For injustice, you can file a complaint directly to the Tianlan Sect Public Council. Once found guilty, the wife will have two choices. One is to accept the husband's apology and material compensation, or to divorce directly, and the wife will get half of her husband's income.

family property.

Of course, Dashi men who can afford four wives generally have a certain status and official position. In addition, there is also a marriage system, or a custom, prevalent in Dashi and other countries in the Western Regions. Then

It is a direct marriage, where the sisters of both men are exchanged as wives.

This is where the first case started.

The parents of Apu and Della made an agreement half a year ago. Three months later, Apu's sister will marry Della, and Della's sister will also marry Apu. Apu's family is relatively well off.

Yes, Della is very poor, but his sister is very beautiful. Apu once promised Della's family that Della's sister would marry without any dowry, while his own sister would bring her

Two cows and a carriage with young and strong horses made the Della family very happy. For them, this was a big fortune. The two cows could farm the land, and the carriage could transport goods and people for business.

Having these things will greatly change your living situation.

But something unexpected happened. Three months ago, Della went out to work and was killed by bandits. The time agreed upon by both parties for the wedding came. Apu went to pick up Della's sister, but was rejected by Della's family.

, the reason is very simple. According to the agreement between the two parties, once Apu's sister gets married, she will bring two cows and a carriage. Now that Della is dead and her marriage to Apu's sister has been ruined, the cows and carriage will naturally not come together.

Furthermore, Della's parents would naturally not agree to the idea of ​​hooking up with Della's sister.

After several negotiations, the two parties never reached an agreement. More than a month ago, Apu went to Della's house and broke into Della's sister's room with the intention of taking her away. However, Della's sister resisted fiercely and a fight broke out between the two parties.

, Apu was accidentally killed by Della's sister, and things suddenly became a big deal.

Apu's family found Zhu Lin and accused Della's sister of murdering her son and embezzling the gift money of two cows and a carriage.

After the trial, Zhu Lin quickly clarified the reasons for the entire case.

Della's family had negotiated with Apu. Since Della was dead, Apu's sister did not need to marry, but the dowry of two cows and a carriage had to be given. In this way, the marriage continued as usual, Della's sister

Will marry Apu as promised, but was rejected by Apu. Apu saw that Della was dead. He didn't have to spend money and could marry a beautiful wife. Why not? Both parties were

At this point, there is a huge contradiction.

Zhu Lin was in his thirties. Although he had a smooth personality, he was quite upright as an official. He dealt with matters impartially and acquitted Della's sister.

Apu's family refused to accept the crime and spent money to bribe Wu Heng, the governor of Wuzhou. Wu Heng instructed Zhu Lin to change the death sentence to Dela's sister, and his family returned two cows and a carriage to Apu's family within a time limit.

Della's family is very poor. Such a sentence will push Della's family to death!

Zhu Lin couldn't bear it, so he kept suppressing the case. Despite Wu Heng's repeated urgings, he delayed it as long as possible. This aroused Wu Heng's anger and dissatisfaction. He immediately wrote to the official department and filed a complaint against Zhu Lin. The official department issued the following

After being severely reprimanded, Zhu Lin had no choice but to submit a letter to resign, and was eventually transferred to another post by the Ministry of Personnel.

Li Xun had just arrived in Wu'an City that day, and Wu Heng was also here, just for this matter. Zhu Lin was transferred away, and Wu Heng originally thought that the matter would be settled.

But he never expected that the new county magistrate named Zhou Qing would be far tougher than Zhu Lin. Wu Heng sent a letter to Zhou Qing, asking him to change the sentence of the case. After Zhou Qing learned the whole story from Zhu Lin, he sternly refused.

Wu Heng was arrested and the case was immediately concluded. Della's sister was immediately acquitted. Apu forced his way into a house with evil intentions and deserved his death. Apu's parents distorted the facts, falsely accused others, and were sentenced to serve in prison.

Zhou Qing's move immediately made Wu Heng unable to step down. He immediately rushed to Wu'an City to intervene in the case. This case had become known to many people after several turmoils, and many people came to inquire about the case and hear the verdict.

Many onlookers gathered around the county government office. Wu Heng, using his position as governor, forced Zhou Qing to change the sentence. The two had a fierce dispute. When the people outside learned the truth, they were immediately angry and unbearable. The scene began to commotion. Wu Heng
Chapter completed!
