After marrying a concubine, I have the ability to read minds

Chapter 167 Revenge Back
Master Zhang dismissed him with a wave of his hand, and finally felt a little better after being depressed all morning.

So what if Gu Xian is awesome?You don't have to obey his orders!
……

In the days that followed, what Gu Xian did every day when he went to the government office was to copy files. Mr. Zhang thought he was teaching Gu Xian a lesson, but Gu Xian was enjoying himself, and he completely regarded copying files as a way to relieve boredom.

Sun Zhengxue was arranged to check for lightning strikes. At first, he was really restrained. He felt that whatever he did was wrong. Several groups of people secretly gave him money, but he was afraid that he would lose his life, so he had no choice but to push it away.

Later, he didn't know which expert gave him the idea, so he started to investigate it with great fanfare.

The trial was opened in a generous manner, and the common people could look at it casually. All the people who attended the banquet at Prince An's Mansion that day were called to the hall and asked one by one. The results were all the same. The crown prince was not struck by lightning at all. He deliberately harmed the prince by spreading false rumors.

Many people in Beijing watched the trial process, and then the matter of the prince being struck by lightning was so easily cleared up.

Some people want to get a witness to go in and tell the truth, but think about it, the risk is too high. Those who attended the banquet dare not tell the truth. I can only give up.

……

The prince's people were not idle either, Zhang Cong couldn't have jumped out suddenly to play the prince's book, and his intention at the time was clearly aimed at getting rid of the prince.

If it wasn't for Gu Xian's proposal, what would the crown prince do that day?
So Zhang Cong was targeted.

Before the crown prince's case was concluded, Zhang Cong was full of confidence. After all, the people behind him said that everything would be arranged, otherwise he would not have taken such a big risk to participate in the crown prince's book in the morning.

But as Sun Zhengxue's public trial began, Zhang Cong was dumbfounded. It was obvious that the calculations of the people behind him had all been dispelled. Not only did he fail to achieve his goal, but he also successfully stood on the opposite side of the prince. yes?

So in the days that followed, he became more and more cautious.

However, it is possible to be able to sit in the position of the third-rank official in Beijing without any black information. In just over ten days, the prince's people found out that Zhang Cong's servants were forced to buy people's land at a very low price. Using this method, a total of Bought more than 1000 mu of land.

Even if these lands were only bought at the price of five taels per mu, more than 1000 mu of land would cost five to six thousand taels of silver. It was absolutely impossible for a slave to spend such a large amount of money.

So Sun Zhengxue, Minister of Dali Temple, received a joint complaint from the common people within two days after he was free, suing Zhang Cong, the third-rank right deputy governor of the dynasty, for allowing his servants to rob farmland and injure and disable seven people.

Nearly a hundred bloody fingerprints were densely pressed on the joint signature form.

Moreover, the people whose fields were robbed were not limited to just a hundred families in this area, and some people were too timid to come out and tell.

Sun Zhengxue, who received the pleadings: ...feels like his head is going to be bald, but he still has to hold his nose and rush to handle the case. Nearly a hundred people have sued the current third-rank official. Does he dare not take it seriously?
If he dares, the next person to be jointly sued by the common people will be Sun Zhengxue.

So Liu Zhaoguang, Zhang Cong's servant, was taken to Dali Temple. Those who were injured by him all corrected Liu Zhaoguang's evil deeds in the hall. In the end, he finally confessed that he was ordered by the owner to buy the land, and that every year's harvest went into Zhang Cong's pocket, and Liu Zhaoguang was an errand runner.

After all, Zhang Cong was a third-rank censor, and he could not be tortured, so Sun Zhengxue gave the emperor a note and attached a copy of Liu Zhaoguang's confession.

The emperor thought about it after reading the scriptures. Liu Zhaoguang was sentenced to exile for injuring and maiming the disabled. Zhang Cong ordered the evil servants to commit murder and seize the people's fields. class.

Originally, the punishment for Zhang Cong should have been more severe, but considering that he had made some achievements in his early years, he did not push him to the end.

So after such a lawsuit, Zhang Cong wanted to pay a large sum of money to go out. He had robbed the fields of those common people for several years. Calculated according to the income of two taels of silver every year, one mu of land in five years would cost ten taels of silver. compensation,
The most important thing is that he has been demoted. It is easy to be demoted from an official position. His years of hard work will be wasted if the emperor speaks out, but it will be difficult to be promoted. Pinqian capital censor's position.

On the day when Zhang Cong changed his office, he gave Gu Xian a hard look, "Your Gu must be very happy to see this old man being demoted!"

Gu Xian: ... What the hell is it about you being punished by the crown prince?Even if you are demoted to a commoner, it has nothing to do with Lao Tzu, right?
"I'm really happy, after all, I don't have to copy those inexplicable files anymore."

Zhang Cong: ...Yesterday when the two met, Gu Xian still called himself an official.

Today he dares to say that he is the official, heh!
Although the old man was demoted today, he knows that he will not be reinstated tomorrow, or even improved to a higher level?

"You, you wait for me!"

Gu Xian was about to leave, but Zhang Cong wanted to say something again, Gu Xian turned around and pointed to a small official, "Go, take out the files on my desk and send them to Master Zhang's room. You must finish copying today within one day, and you are not allowed to go home if you don’t finish copying, otherwise, I will submit a copy to Mr. Zhang in the morning court tomorrow.”

Zhang Cong: ...I'll fuck your uncle's Gu Xian!
Although Gu Xian didn't hear what Zhang Cong was thinking, he could still imagine what he was thinking.

No way, he didn't take Zhang Cong seriously at first, he just bumped into himself, he just got promoted two levels in a row, and there are many people who dislike him in the Inspectorate, if he doesn't do something, how many Sorry for the chicken delivered to your door!
Looking around, sure enough, the eyes of the people around him have changed.

Satisfied, Gu Xian paced around with his hands behind his back, and walked slowly towards his office room.

……

Zhan Wang has been investigating the assassin that day for a while, and finally found some news last night, but when he led people to rush there, he disappeared inexplicably from the small courtyard under surveillance. After digging three feet, a tunnel was finally found near the early morning.

However, when walking along that tunnel, a lot of traps were set up in the tunnel. Three elites were injured by hidden weapons, and there was poison on the hidden weapons. Fortunately, after eating the antidote pills prepared in advance, the poison was killed Got it under control.

Next, the soldiers were extremely careful, and it took more than an hour to finally find the exit.

The exit was at the innermost part of an alley, pushing away some sundries blocking it, one by one soldiers came out from the exit.

At the beginning, these people didn't know where they were, but when they came out of the alley and saw the pedestrians coming and going on the street, as well as the loud shouting, they realized that not far away was the No. [-] brothel in the capital, Zuihonglou.
