Datang Nongwang

Chapter 841 Kill him! ! !
Stunned.

Silly.

startled.

Except for the people of Li Chongyuan's family, everyone opened their mouths wide. Looking at the current scene, there were probably ten thousand grass horses galloping past in their hearts.

The former Captain Wuhou stretched out his hand and touched his face at this moment, as if he had been beaten.

But in his heart, he was thinking, it's a good thing Li Chongyuan didn't walk up to him just now, otherwise, he might have been the one who received the slap.

After Li Chongyuan slapped him, he grinned, squinted his eyes, and looked at the Chang'an county magistrate Cui Tong with a smile, not at all afraid that he would slap him back.

There is a saying.

A person who can sit on the county magistrate of Chang'an, regardless of his status or status, or even his age, etc., all have a lot of qualifications.

Just like this Cui Tong in front of him, he is from the Cui family, and they are all in their fifties.

What is the Cui family doing?That's a scholar.

It is not impossible for the scholars of the Cui family to be the magistrate of Chang'an County on the fifth rank when Li Shimin was in power, but if they want to climb up to the fourth rank or above, it may be very rare.

Even if it is from the fourth rank, there are very few.

Li Shimin took extra care of those who were officials in the aristocratic family.

However, Li Chongyuan knew that it was not the case that the members of the four great aristocratic families did not sit as fourth-rank officials.

It's like the Lu family has a Guozi Siye from the fourth rank, and the Cui family, in addition to the Chang'an county magistrate who is on the fifth rank, there is also a senior official in Shangzhou.

Of course, the Wang family also has high-ranking officials from the fourth rank, and as for the Zheng family, there is even a young minister of the Honglu Temple.

balance.

This is Li Shimin's strategy against the four great families.

Except for these four great families, the other gentry families are basically similar, all for a balance.

Li Chongyuan slapped Cui Tong on the left side of the face, and Cui Tong seemed to be stupefied.

He really didn't expect that Li Chongyuan would suddenly slap himself hard.

He even didn't expect that Li Chongyuan was so bold that he slapped himself in front of everyone, which was also the reason why he was so stupid.

However, Cui Tongdao didn't stay stupid all the time.

Cui Tong, who was slapped hard, stretched out his left and right sides to caress his left cheek. A stabbing pain made him feel the reality. He pointed at Li Chongyuan with his right hand, "You, Li Chongyuan, you dare to hit me, You dare to beat the imperial court official, this official, this official has nothing to do with you."

"Hehe, it's not over? Then you are giving the county king an endless job to do. As the magistrate of Chang'an County on the fifth rank, you will take me back to the yamen for questioning. I really want to Let me ask you, as the county magistrate of Chang'an, and as a scholar, don't you know the laws of my Tang Dynasty! Didn't you study the laws of Wu De? Or, don't you understand the process of handling cases? If you, Cui Tong, are not clear, or else, the king of this county will teach you!" Li Chongyuan really wanted to see this Cui Tong's joke.

If you fight, you will fight, Li Chongyuan doesn't care how Cui Tong treats him at all.

As a county king himself, beating a Chang'an county magistrate of the fifth rank is nothing more than Li Chongyuan's beating a barking dog.

Yes.

In Li Chongyuan's eyes, Cui Tong is a dog.

As for whose dog it is, as long as you investigate carefully, you will naturally know who Cui Tong's owner is.

Someone else's dog ran up to him and barked, but Li Chongyuan didn't beat him violently. He was lucky, and he pointed at Li Chongyuan like that.

Cui Tong pointed at Li Chongyuan, and after listening to Li Chongyuan's words, he immediately understood why Li Chongyuan beat him.

But he understood, but the stinging pain on his face made him lose his self-nature, and he said angrily: "Li Chongyuan, if you beat me, I will report you in front of the Holy One. Besides, five people have died here. You, Li Chongyuan, must have killed these five people. As the county magistrate of Chang'an, I have the right to take you back to the Yamen for questioning."

"Well, you have the right! But the king of this county wants to ask you, do you dare to take me! Don't think that you are the Cui family, and don't think that you have become someone's dog and become the magistrate of Chang'an County. Dare to run in front of the king of this county and bark. The king of this county is in a good mood at the moment. If the king of this county gets angry, you may be lying down like the five people on the ground. Why, do you want to give it a try? .” Li Chongyuan laughed jokingly.

Cui Tong said that he has the right to take himself.

Speaking of which, he really has this right.

But the words came back again.

Although he has the right to take people, he can't take everyone.

It's like a fourth-rank minister killed someone in a certain county of a certain state for some reason, and then the county magistrate said that he had the right to take down the minister.

If so, then this would be a mess.

Ministers with official positions above the fifth rank can actually have the right to take it, and only Li Shimin can take it if he speaks, not as Cui Tong said, he has the right to take it.

When you have the right to score, you also score.

He is a small county magistrate of Chang'an who is on the fifth rank. He dares to take a minister of justice from the second rank, a minister of agriculture from the third rank, and a county king from the first rank. If he really takes it, this Chang'an All the noble officials in the city are afraid that they will go crazy.

Although Cui Tong didn't say that he wanted to capture Li Chongyuan, he just asked Li Chongyuan to follow him back to the Yamen to recount the murder case here.

But even so, Li Chongyuan also means that he is going to take himself down.

Moreover.

Just now, Cui Tong directly said that he has the right to take Li Chongyuan back to the Yamen.

After all this, how could Li Chongyuan take Cui Tong seriously.

After all the beatings, his face was already torn, so why do you still care about these things.

Therefore, Li Chongyuan pointed to the five people on the ground, who didn't know whether they were dead or alive, and asked whether Cui Tong would become like them.

After Cui Tong listened to Li Chongyuan's words, he backed away in a daze, very afraid that Li Chongyuan would really kill him, the county magistrate of Chang'an, in the street. "Li Chongyuan, you are bold. Do you know that you are threatening a court official, and you are still in Chang'an City. With this statement, I will sue the Holy One, and ask the Holy One to punish you for the crime of neglecting human life and intimidating officials. "

"Then you go and sue, the king of this county is waiting. The king of this county really wants to know what the result will be after you sue the king of this county before the saint. However, according to the judgment of the king of this county, you Chang'an county magistrate, I'm afraid I have to move. But you don't have to be afraid, the official hat on your head is definitely still there, but it may be downgraded a few levels. Maybe it will be a county magistrate in a certain county, Maybe it's not necessarily a recorder from a certain lower state who joins the army." Li Chongyuan joked again.

Cui Tong hesitated a little.

He knew that what Li Chongyuan said was very likely to happen.

He even knew that a murder case had occurred on the territory under his jurisdiction.

And after the murder happened, he didn't rush over immediately, but rushed to the place after a long time.

He knew even more that if Li Chongyuan appealed in front of Li Shimin, then he, the county magistrate of Chang'an, might really end up sitting down.

Leaving aside the issue of whether the case-handling process can be followed, as far as he said that he wanted to take down Li Chongyuan, he probably had to move a bit.

Apart from these.

He, Cui Tong, understood even more that Li Chongyuan was besieged here today.

If he sued Li Shimin, and Li Shimin sent someone to investigate thoroughly after hearing Li Chongyuan's skeptical words, then Cui Tong's fate might really be as Li Chongyuan said, going to a certain county as an order, and a certain lower state as an order. The recorder went to join the army.

He didn't want to be demoted from a fifth-rank Beijing official to a lower-level sixth-rank official to join the army, and he didn't want to be demoted to a certain upper county to be a sixth-rank county magistrate.

As long as Cui Tong is far away from the capital, if he wants to transfer back to Chang'an in the future, he will probably be out of luck for the rest of his life.

Cui Tong was scared and nervous. After Li Chongyuan slapped him just now, his heart, which was lost due to anger, suddenly regained its clarity.

He is thinking, and thinking.

The current situation is a bit weird.

Standing in front, Li Chongyuan looked at Cui Tong who had retreated more than a foot away from him, with a playful smile on his face.

But Cui Tong's face was full of sorrow and his brows were tightly frowned because of what Li Chongyuan said just now.

not far away.

The Marquis Wu looked around like a thief, and looked back at the end of the street from time to time, as if he was looking for someone.

but.

Right now, apart from Li Chongyuan's people, they are the people from the Chang'an County Government, and those Marquis Wu officers and men.

None of the others.

Even in the direction of the end of the street, some yamen servants stopped some good people to wait and see, and there was no one there.

After half a quarter of an hour.

Cui Tong seemed to have an idea in mind, he touched the left cheek that was slapped by Li Chongyuan again, hissed, then looked at Li Chongyuan and said: "Li Chongyuan, no matter what, since a murder case happened here, and here The county magistrate has the right to find out the origin of the murder if it happened in the place under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate. Although you, Li Chongyuan, are the king of Xisha County and Secretary of Agriculture, although the county magistrate cannot take you down, he has the right Please follow this county magistrate to the yamen and explain clearly the whole story of what happened today."

"Hehe, it seems that you are not very stupid as a county magistrate, but you are also not very smart. The king of this county really doesn't know how you became a fifth-rank official. It seems that you still want to win this county. Wang, the county king is standing here, just come and get it." Li Chongyuan smiled.

Li Chongyuan listened to his words, and only said that he was the king of Xisha County, and that he was Secretary of Agriculture, but he did not mention the position of Minister of Justice.

It can be seen that these court officials do not agree with Li Chongyuan, the second-rank minister of justice, from the bottom of their hearts.

Li Chongyuan even suspected that these people did not take Judicial Temple seriously in their hearts, or that Judicial Temple never existed in their eyes and hearts.

Cui is the same.

So do others.

now.

Li Chongyuan made up his mind that within this year, the Judicial Temple must be built.

Even, the prestige of the Judiciary Temple has to be slammed, and it has to be hit hard.

Only in this way can those court officials who ignore the Judicial Temple, or those nobles who take the theater with them, or those low-level officials who are attached to the ministers, and those intricate and complicated in Chang'an City The man was dumbfounded.

Establishing a judicial name is Li Chongyuan's first goal now.

Li Chongyuan looked at Cui Tong with playful eyes, wanting to see if Cui Tong would dare to let someone come and take him down.

Cui Tong is also in trouble at the moment.

He dare not.

He really didn't dare.

Even though he had the right to ask Li Chongyuan to go back to the yamen to recount what happened just now, but he dared not listen to what Li Chongyuan said.

Quiet.

It was quiet again.

Cui Tongzuo didn't dare to come to get Li Chongyuan, and he didn't dare to order the servants to come to get Li Chongyuan.

And the officials behind him, or those yamen servants, have long been dissatisfied with the county magistrate in front of him.

Many of them were cursing the county magistrate in their hearts.

'Didn't you see how many people there were in Li Chongyuan's side?Didn't you see that they all have knives?You Cui Tong are blind or something. '

'County magistrate, you really dare to speak.If you give an order, we will die here like these five people. '

'Cui Yangren, you idiot, have you forgotten that Li Chongyuan even dared to kill the Tubo envoys, you idiot really thought you were the Cui family and Li Chongyuan would not dare to kill you! '

'I'll kill your Cui family ancestor, if you dare to order, I will quit this job right away. '

Everyone had their own ideas, but in the end they didn't want Cui Tong to issue this order.

They didn't want to die, and they didn't want to lose their lives because of Cui Tong's order.

Another quarter of an hour passed.

But at this time, Liu Xiang approached Li Chongyuan, and whispered in his ear: "Young Lord, just now I found that there was a carriage parked on the street for a while."

"Who is in the carriage, did you notice?" Li Chongyuan looked towards the end of the street.

Liu Xiang shook his head lightly, nodded again and said, "The carriage didn't stop for a long time, and there were curtains blocking it, so I didn't see clearly who was in the carriage. However, I've seen that carriage before. , it seems to be the carriage in Zhao Guogong's mansion."

"I guessed the same." Li Chongyuan nodded.

The carriage of the eldest grandson's family appeared here at this time, which shows that this matter is unusual.

What Li Chongyuan guessed was only a few.

And this eldest grandson Wuji is also Li Chongyuan's number one object of suspicion.

The carriage of the Changsun's family appeared where it shouldn't be, which made Li Chongyuan want to laugh even more. At the same time, he also wanted to see if the members of the Changsun's family would show up.

carry on.

Cui Tong didn't dare to give orders, but Li Chongyuan was waiting for the members of Changsun's family to show up.

Half an hour passed.

Another quarter of an hour went by.

Li Chongyuan, who was waiting a little impatiently, thought in his heart that the members of the eldest grandson's family did not dare to show up, so he had to turn around and go back to the carriage, "Let's go, Zhuni will take a few people to stay, and go back to the county government with this Niucha county magistrate to recount today's events. thing."

"Li Chongyuan, you can't leave, you have to follow me back to the Yamen." Seeing that Li Chongyuan was about to leave, Cui Tong shouted immediately.

Hearing this, Li Chongyuan sneered and said angrily: "Cui Tong, if you dare to stop me like these dead villains, don't blame the king of this county for being rude! If the king of this county is not happy, he will kill you if he kills you!" Like a dog! Go! Anyone who dares to stop the county king from leaving, kill him!!!"
