Chapter 138 Establishing Official Prestige (Second Watch for Tickets)
Xia Bozhong came up and bowed to Chu Xian and Wu Degui.

"I've met the magistrate, the magistrate." Xia Bozhong was well-behaved, neither humble nor overbearing, and he seemed to be the kind of person who still had a sense of righteousness.

It is very rare to be able to maintain this righteousness in Dinghai County controlled by Wu Degui.

In fact, Chu Xian did not choose Xia Bozhong randomly. He knew that Xia Bozhong was qualified to be a clerk, and he also knew that Xia Bozhong was not from Wu Degui.

In the dream life, Chu Xian was working in Dinghai County, and he followed Xia Bozhong, and he was also a teacher and friend with him, so he naturally knew this person.

Just like Chu Xian knew Jiang Yuan.

These two people were friends that Chu Xian had made in Dinghai County. This time, Chu Xian deliberately used tricks to get rid of Cai Wenshu's original official position. From the beginning, it was to support Xia Bozhong.

Regardless of whether this point is obvious or not, Wu Degui will definitely be aware of it.

But Chu Xian is not afraid.

Again, Chu Xian knew Dinghai County very well, especially the people he valued, like Xia Bozhong, it was absolutely impossible for him to fall for Wu Degui.

The ridiculous thing is that Wu Degui probably didn't even know that the first corrupt official Xia Bozhong wanted to get rid of was Wu Degui.

At this moment, Chu Xian acted as if he didn't know Xia Bozhong at all, and said directly, "Are you Xia Bozhong?"

The latter nodded and said: "Reporting to the county magistrate, Xia Bozhong is next to me."

"Okay, from now on, you are the clerk of Dinghai County. I will notify you of the official appointment. After the Ministry of Officials reapproves, you can leave your name in the official code and get the official talisman. However, it may take a few days. You Exercising the power of a clerk for the time being, remember the rules for being an official, and don't forget the original intention of being an official."

Chu Xian's words were very succinct, and Xia Bozhong, who had been struggling for more than ten years, finally had his first day, although he was very excited, but on the surface he was extremely calm, at least he didn't get carried away, nor did he lose his mind because of it.

Then he bowed and said: "I will do my duty, never slack off, and live up to my lord's expectations."

It is also a simple sentence that expresses Xia Bozhong's attitude.

Chu Xian didn't say much, and let Xia Bozhong sit in Cai Wenshu's original seat. As for Cai Wenshu, with resentment on his face at the moment, he didn't dare to say more, and then he was taken away.

"Since there are candidates for the clerk, please continue the county magistrate." Wu Degui said at this time, implying that it depends on what Chu Xian wants to do.

Chu Xian knew what Wu Degui was thinking, and sent so many files on purpose before, just to disgust himself and hold him back, but the other party didn't expect that Chu Xian had the Shenhai library, and that thing really couldn't help Chu Xian.

Since you, Wu Degui, want to hold me back with dossiers, then I will hold you, Wu Degui, with a trial.

Chu Xian didn't even need to look at the file, he just said the second, third, fourth, etc., and so on, which needed to be decided, and Chu Xian remembered all the rules and regulations clearly. At the beginning, Wu Degui didn't believe in evil, He wanted to ask Chu Xian, but no matter how he asked, Chu Xian could answer fluently.

"Something's wrong!" Wu Degui secretly thought something was wrong.

What's going on with Chu Xian? Why do you remember the volumes of Chinese books you sent before so clearly? Could it be that the other party has really read them all?
impossible.

Wu Degui didn't believe it at all, because if it were him, he wouldn't have three or five days, let alone deal with it, even if he couldn't finish watching it.

This time in the hall, Chu Xian took the initiative.

After finishing the matter of governing the county, let's talk about other affairs. Finally, it is the trial of the files that have not yet been concluded, involving civil disputes, wounding, and murder cases. Chu Xian actually tried them clearly and clearly.

This time, the promotion took place from early in the morning, until noon, to the afternoon, and finally at night, it actually went on for a whole day.

And judging by Chu Xian's appearance, he was not at all tired, and he had to continue the trial overnight.

Because it was accumulated over several months, so far, it has only been dealt with halfway. As a result, Chu Xian and Qi Chengxiang are full of energy, and Wu Degui and others are complaining in their hearts.

Who would have thought that the strategy that originally intended to disgust Chu Xian and drag Chu Xian down actually disgusted and dragged himself down in the end.

At this time, Wu Degui was even more displeased with Cai Wenshu, who came up with this idea, secretly thinking that this person is really useless, after working as a clerk for so many years, he can't even compete with a newcomer in official career.

In the hall, except for Chu Xian and Qi Chengxiang who were not at all tired, Xia Bozhong, the new clerk who was raised by Chu Xian, also had a serious demeanor without the slightest impatience.

The next trial was a major homicide case, which was originally unresolved and the culprit could not be found. However, Chu Xian's trial was a scramble, and the suspects were first brought to the hall for questioning.

In the eyes of outsiders, it was just a simple questioning, but when it came to the victim's nephew, Chu Xian only asked three questions, then slapped the gavel and ordered someone to take him down.

The man was frightened out of his wits, but he claimed that he was wronged, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the other party had a ghost in his heart, but after a few words of scaring, the man burst into tears and confessed the fact that he had killed his uncle.

"God!"

Several yamen servants thought to themselves, they knew about this unsolved case, it happened a month ago, when Mr. Wu presided over the interrogation, but he couldn't find the real culprit, so it became an unsolved case, how could this new county magistrate be so simple In the first trial, the real culprit was found out?

The real murderer was the nephew of the victim, and he was the first person to report the crime. It was really unexpected that he was the real murderer.

Obviously, not only these yamen servants, but also other people are curious, how did the county magistrate find out that the man was the real murderer?

At this time, Chu Xian took the initiative to say: "Although this person is the one who reported the case, he is the most suspicious. According to the file, he is addicted to gambling houses, and even sold his own property and fields for gambling funds. He is deeply in debt and cannot make ends meet. But everyone Looking at him now, he is cleanly dressed and wears jade around his waist. He doesn't look like he is being chased for debts. He must have gotten a windfall recently. Most of the windfalls come from remote sources, plus the autopsy record of the victim, in his own house In the case of being killed by a knife in the back, the property in the house is stolen, and the door and windows of the house are intact, it means that the murderer entered through the door, and the victim opened the door. The knife in the back shows that the victim was not wary of the murderer Most of them are close relatives, and looking at his family tree, the only relative in the county is the murderer, so he is the most suspected, but I didn't expect him to be as cowardly as a mouse, and he confessed before torture."

In the hall, Wu Degui and the others blushed like jujubes, they were panicked from embarrassment. He was the one who tried the case at the beginning, but he was identified as the thief who committed the crime, and he did not suspect the victim's nephew.

It was also because Wu Degui didn't bother to investigate the case at all. After all, there was not only one unresolved case. Besides, even if there was an unresolved case, the county magistrate was responsible. At that time, Wu Degui knew that he might not be able to be the county magistrate. So I thought about it, no matter who is the county magistrate, as long as it is not him, these unresolved cases have to be dealt with.

But now that Chu Xian had solved the murder case so easily, Wu Degui naturally felt ashamed, but at this time, he couldn't say anything, he could only keep a sullen face and remained silent.

People in his line, including Dian Shi Zhang Zhong, also remained silent.

The hall has already lighted the lamps, it is already Xu time, and the night is already dark.

Seeing that Chu Xian would continue, Wu Degui and the others had no intention of stopping at all, and finally couldn't hold it anymore. Whoever it was, it would be unbearable to stay in the hall all day.

After thinking for a while, Wu Degui said: "The county magistrate is diligent and admirable, but now it's getting late, and many things are not in a hurry. The remaining cases should be tried another day. We are not tired. The following People can't stand it."

When he said this, many yamen servants and small officials looked forward to it. To be honest, in the early morning, many of them really didn't take the new county magistrate seriously, but after this day, they all Impressed.

I can't accept it.

Not only is he extremely agile in handling public affairs and handling cases, almost all the conditions are convincing, and that kind of majesty in the court was completely established in a day.

Now who is not afraid of this new county magistrate?

Cai Wenshu was also a clerk from the ninth grade, and he was also the number one figure in the county. As a result, he was dismissed early in the morning. He probably would have to face a lawsuit. I don't know if Master Wu can keep him.

Who is not afraid of this method alone?
In addition, everyone was really tired and exhausted, and they only hoped that the county magistrate would stop here first, otherwise they would really be overwhelmed.

Chu Xian smiled slightly at this time, and said: "If that's the case, then retreat and continue tomorrow."

After speaking, he got up and walked away.

Everyone moved their legs and feet, twisted their necks and waists as if they were being pardoned. Wu Degui felt that his legs were numb. Although he was blessed with official sacred power, he did not practice martial arts and immortal skills. tired.

But he knew that there were still a few important things to deal with.

One is about Cai Wenshu.

The other party was dismissed by Chu Xian in the name of unclear accounts and forged account books, and was sent to prison for trial. This matter must be done first, at least to ensure that Cai Wenshu's mouth is not talking nonsense.

For this, Wu Degui is confident.

Even if Cai Wenshu's crime is true, as long as he finds a way to make up for some shortfalls, he can turn major events into small ones. Besides, this is the most common case, which is to make Cai Wenshu lose his official position, but as long as he is fine, believe Cai Wenshu He is still very clear about what to say and what not to say, because once he leaks his words, it is not as simple as losing his official position, even losing his life is trivial.

Another point is that Wu Degui wants to find a way to win over the new clerk Xia Bozhong. This clerk is extremely important and must be controlled by his own people.

So after returning, Wu Degui ordered his subordinates to say that he had set up a banquet and invited Xia Bozhong to come to the banquet. After all, he had worked hard all day and was sleepy and hungry.

It's just that his hand went down for a while, then turned back, and said: "The Xia Wenshu said that the night is dark, and he appreciates the kindness, but the banquet is fine."

"Hmph!" Wu Degui slapped the table and cursed, "This Xia is still so ignorant!"

But for a while, Wu Degui had no other choice but to take a step forward. At worst, he would try to pour some dirty water on Xia Bozhong to get him down, or deal with Chu Xian directly. Xian left Dinghai County, a mere Xia Bozhong, who could pinch it however he wanted.

At this time, Wu Degui poured himself a glass of wine, raised his glass and looked up at the sky, and muttered, "No matter how hard you try, this Dinghai County is still mine after all."
