Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 632 Want to cover up
On the fourth day after the "General Qin" from Neiwei Mansion arrived in Xichuan County, Nanyang Zhechong Duwei Mansion assembled [-] soldiers and rushed here, breaking the "tranquility" of this originally quiet town overnight.

Seeing the government soldiers patrolling back and forth on the street, the common people rushed into an inexplicable panic, while the officials of the county government explained to everyone that the imperial envoy General Qin and Wu Xianzun had confirmed that the murderer of the cannibal case was Dawu in the west of the city. The bandits on the mountain, the government is now sending troops to encircle and suppress them, avenging the people who died.

The news has spread, and it has calmed down the people who had been flustered. With so many troops and clear targets, they can finally sleep peacefully.On the fifth day, the three thousand Nanyang soldiers set off under the command of Wu Deng, accompanied by Zhuge Yi, who was born and bred in Nanyang and was familiar with every plant and tree here. It must be an instant success.

Another seven days later, Nanyang's soldiers brought back all the heads of the gangsters from the Great Wushan Mountain, and hung them on the city wall for public display. Then Wu Youde issued another Announcement for the People: The imperial court has arrested the main culprit of the cannibalism case. The chief culprit will be beheaded publicly in the city to rectify the country's laws and reassure people's hearts. .
Good silence is always the fastest to spread. In order to thank the imperial envoy and the county government for helping the common people get rid of their worries, the gentry headed by Zhang Wanfu specially entertained General Qin and County Magistrate Wu at Fumanlou, the largest building in the city, and raised funds. Qianguan rewards the soldiers who have done meritorious service.

The celebration banquet was a harmonious mess. General Qin and County Magistrate Wu drank unconsciously and were carried back by the guards. Of course, the gentry did not think it was a sign of disrespect, which shows that the superior and the county magistrate We are caring to the people of Xichuan County. .
Xichuan County - Falun Gong, the flow of people is surging, and life is full of turmoil. The people who came here to watch the execution picked up the stones and rotten leaves and threw them at the bandit leaders in Dawu Mountain, swearing all kinds of dirty words in their mouths. They, it didn't take long for these vicious and cruel habitual bandits to be bloodied.

The officials present expressed their understanding for the extreme actions of these people, because not only the people of this county came here today, but also the families of other murdered families in Lin County. It is also human nature!
The imperial envoys - Chang Sun Chong, Nanyang Inspector Yang Shilin, and Chang Shi Tian Zan sat on the execution platform, and whispered to each other regardless of the angry people below. It is not difficult to see from their faces and expressions that these "high officials" Very satisfied with today's result.

After a while, the first person to speak was Imperial Commissioner Sun Chong. On behalf of the imperial court, he expressed the importance of this case. At the same time, he had already communicated with the governor's office in Nanyang to reduce and exempt the tax and labor of the deceased's family for three years, so as to comfort those who were wronged. The spirits of the dead people in heaven.

Then, amidst the cheers of the people, the governor Yang Shilin held the case-closed letter in his hand and read aloud the whole story of the case, and the corresponding measures taken by the court.

This abnormal move was deliberately added by Li Chengqian. Its purpose was to prove to the people that with the protection of the imperial court, they can live and work in peace and contentment, men farming and women weaving.The second is to promote force, so that everyone understands that anyone who violates the laws of the Tang Dynasty will end up like this in the end. You only have one life, so please do it and cherish it.

At [-]:[-] p.m., as soon as the urging sign in Yang Shilin's hand fell to the ground, the executioner's extremely sharp knife ended their sinful life like chopping melons and vegetables.

While the common people below were scrambling to smash the corpses of these ogre demons into thousands of pieces, in an attic not far away, Li Chengqian and Wu Youde looked at the scene below while talking and laughing.

"Magistrate Wu, I thought you would have to play for a while, but I didn't expect you to come up so soon. Why, you are not afraid of spoiling the trick? Don't forget that you are using your own black hat as collateral. If this If a man is killed and the snake cannot be lured out, then you will be exiled for three thousand miles!"

"I said General Qin, serving as an official will benefit one party. Although the next official was transferred not long ago, he is also the official of their parents. If he can't avenge their family, even if the court doesn't punish me, this official will have no face anymore. "

Wu Youde's words are very tough. It stands to reason that as long as he does his job well, even if the higher-ups want to settle accounts after autumn, they can't do anything to him. At most, they will record it in the official file and reprimand him, which will not harm his official future at all. As a bet, in Li Chengqian's view, this ugly seventh-rank sesame official really has a conscience.

"Wu county magistrate, people can't be judged by their appearance, sea water can't be measured, thoughtful, insightful, and always considerate of the people. It's a grievance to be a county magistrate here. How about this, when the case is over, I will recommend you to General Changsun , let him return to the court to speak for you, and transfer to Chang'an to take up a post."

Don't look at the emperor's right to appoint officials so tightly, but for Zhang Sunchong, promoting a county magistrate is an easy matter. It's all in one sentence, so getting close to the thigh of this son-in-law is equivalent to hugging the wealth of life.

Li Chengqian wanted to see if this ugly guy, who was comparable to Pang Tong, would be tempted when he saw the wealth and honor at his fingertips. Well, there are two kinds of officials, those who want fame and those who want profit. Look at this multiple-choice question What will he do!

"Hey, General Qin, a county magistrate is enough to be an official, so what promotion is there! The fourth year of Zhenguan's junior official got the No. 2 head armor, but Wei Wang and Xiao Yu, who were in charge of the examination, said: The Northern Expedition has won , It is a symbol of my coming to the prosperous age. You stand in the Tai Chi Hall like this. Don’t you make the Tang Dynasty laugh at you? So it’s here after several reversals. At the beginning, I was a little unwilling, but now I don’t want to Get used to it, don't cause trouble for the son-in-law!"

Oh, the corners of Li Chengqian's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly when he heard that the fourth child and Xiao Yu still did such a thing, that's enough to say.To be talented and learn is to have good looks, and the selection of officials is not the selection of son-in-law, so there are so many rules, isn't this a waste of talents, isn't it nonsense?

"Conscientious people are always happy, um, yes, it's only for the sake of fame and not for profit. People have no desire to be self-exalting. The conduct of the county magistrate Wu is better than those oily heads. It really makes me and other warriors ashamed!"

Glancing at the "General Qin" who was feeling emotional, Wu Youde was a little confused, this master doesn't look like an ordinary martial artist, he is a child of Duke Yi's mansion?Otherwise, how could he have such a conversation, and he could talk so well with Zhuge Daochang.

Seeing Wu Youde in a daze, Li Chengqian patted him on the shoulder, and then said: "Magistrate Wu, let's bet on an odd or even pair, and see if the person you suspect will do it on one day or on two days, as for the bet Well……"
