marquis of jingan

Chapter 13

After returning from Wanghu Tower, Feng Zhixian was full of displeasure.

There is no other reason, the main reason is that Shangguan is too slippery.

The case of Ganquan Academy was clearly acquiesced and even hinted at by his superior, Chen Yu, but when this matter was actually handled, the government office was unwilling to bear any responsibility. Just now in Wanghulou, Chen Yu himself clearly intervened in this matter, But I don't want to take any ideas!

If the magistrate does not give an idea, it means that the county government is handling this matter from beginning to end. If the county government handles it well, the government government will not say anything. If the matter is messed up, then when the responsibility is investigated in the future, the first person to come to get Feng Lu will be the prefect of Jiangdu!
"It really crushes people to death!"

In fact, although Chen Yu is only one level older than him administratively, he is three ranks higher than him in terms of rank, one is the seventh rank, the other is the fourth rank, and there is a big difference between the third rank and the sixth rank.

But this level is not so insurmountable, as long as the errands are done well, or there are people in the court, and they can get a good rating when they take the exam, then the county magistrate will be promoted to the magistrate, that is, two or three terms.

But right now, Feng Lu was indeed suppressed to death by the prefect Chen, and there was nothing he could do.

Even if there is a way, Chen Zhifu still has a good teacher in the court, and it is not something that his little magistrate can compete with.

The county lord, sulking for a long time alone in the study, didn't even feel like eating dinner.

It wasn't until about Xu time that Feng Zhixian walked out of his study room, paced alone in the backyard of the county government office, scratching his head from time to time.

The reason why the county lord was troubled was because the magistrate Chen told him that this case should be put to rest.

It's easy to understand the peace of mind, that is, the case can be closed smoothly, and both sides will stop making troubles, and don't make this matter a big deal.

But right now, Mr. Lu has already got involved. If the county government convicts Shen Yi, Mr. Lu will probably have no way to go there, but if he does not convict Shen Yi, he will have to convict Fan Dongcheng and others...

Fan Dongcheng was really convicted, not to mention whether the Fan Shilang in the capital would personally intervene in this matter, even if Fan Shilang did not inquire about this matter, the Fan family in Jiangdu would not be easy to deal with.

"Damn it, there are evil officials on the top and unscrupulous people on the bottom, it's all on my head!"

Feng Zhixian scolded his mother bitterly, and then muttered in a low voice: "This magistrate attached to Guo is really not done by people..."

After worrying for a while, County Magistrate Feng looked up at the moon in the sky, and suddenly had an idea in his mind. He coughed and said, "Come here."

The servants of the county government are all Feng Lu's private servants. As servants, the most basic rule is that the master does not sleep, and the servants must never sleep. When Feng Lu yells, a servant immediately walks away with small steps He came in and said respectfully, "Master."

"Prepare the sedan chair, the master is going to the county prison!"

The servant looked up at the sky and said with a wry smile: "Master, it's so late, all the bearers in the county government have gone back. If you want to go out, you may have to wait a while. The villain will send someone to call the bearers back."

Bearers are not private servants, so they don't have to wait for orders at the county government all the time.

Hearing this sentence, Feng Zhixian's face turned dark, and he cursed again indignantly, and then said in a muffled voice: "Forget it, the yamen is not too far from the county prison, the master is walking."

"Go and let those bearers wait for the master at the gate of the county jail."

The boy immediately nodded and went respectfully.

After the boy left, County Magistrate Feng, dressed in commoner clothes, left the county government office with two attendants, and walked towards the county prison. The county prison is not too far from the county government office, only two miles away. Master Feng walked to the gate of the county jail.

County Magistrate Feng has served as Jiangdu County Magistrate for two terms, and has been in Jiangdu for four or five years, so everyone at the gate of the yamen recognizes him. Seeing the master coming, several jailers who had been asleep in a daze woke up immediately , rubbing his eyes, opened the cell door, and respectfully called out to the county lord.

Because he had something to do, Feng Lu didn't bother to deal with these jailers who were fishing and sleeping. After a muffled grunt, he walked into the prison. Get down, and said in a deep voice: "Go, bring the prisoner Shen Yi to see this county."

Several jailers nodded hurriedly, and two of them entered the prison in a panic, woke up Shen Yi who was sleeping on the straw, and brought Shen Yi to Magistrate Feng.

Shen Qilang at this moment is still a little sleepy.

It wasn't that he was big-hearted, it was because he was locked up in the cell, and he really had nothing to do, and he didn't dare to eat the food in the cell. When he was hungry, he had nothing else to do except sleep.

Seeing this middle-aged fat man in civilian clothes, Shen Yi finally regained consciousness, because he had seen this face several times in court.

Shen Qilang took a deep breath, and was about to salute the county lord.

"Shen Yi pays homage to the county lord."

Before he knelt down, County Magistrate Feng waved his hand, shook his head and said, "There's no need to be formal, just sit down and talk."

After saying this, County Magistrate Feng pointed to the bench opposite him. At this time, the oil lamp on the table was flickering, making Magistrate Feng's round face look a little weird.

Shen Yi looked at the bench, then at County Magistrate Feng, shook his head and smiled wryly, "Master Xian, Xiaomin's butt hurts, so I won't sit anymore, just stand and listen to your instructions."

Hearing Shen Yi's words, Feng Lu looked up at Shen Yi's expression again, feeling that the Shen Yi in front of him was a little different from the young man in the court before.

But upon closer inspection, it was clearly a person.

This weird feeling was very strong, as if... as if the young man in front of him had been covered by something dirty, and his expression had completely changed into another person.

If the Shen Yi in the courtroom two days ago was still an immature boy, the Shen Yi in front of him, whose appearance has not changed at all, seems to... suddenly become a mature adult.

County magistrate Feng shook his head, putting this weird feeling behind him, he turned his head and looked at the jailers accompanying him, and said in a deep voice: "You all step back, this county wants to ask him a few words alone .”

The magistrate of the county is the master of the county government, and he is also the person who can decide the career fate of these jailers. Hearing these words, the jailers dared not neglect. After bowing their hands to County Magistrate Feng, they turned and left.

After several jailers left, County Magistrate Feng reached out to pick up the teapot on the table, and poured himself a cup of tea from the porcelain bowl on the table.

This is his habitual action.

After taking a sip of tea, County Magistrate Feng spit it out on the straw beside him with another "poof", then frowned and said cursingly, "What broken tea..."

After cursing this sentence, magistrate Feng looked up at Shen Yi, squinted his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Shen Yi, after the in-depth investigation by the county government, some progress has been made in the case of Chen Qing. Now, this county needs you cooperation."

"Cooperate, cooperate."

Shen Qilang smiled all over his face and nodded again and again: "No matter what the county master wants Xiaomin to say, Xiaomin will cooperate."

Magistrate Feng looked at Shen Yi again, and felt that there was something wrong with this young man.

But now is not the time to worry about these.

The county master said in a deep voice: "First of all, Mr. Fan never beat Chen Qing."

A smile appeared on Shen Yi's face.

He quickly lowered his head, not letting County Magistrate Feng see this smile, then took a deep breath, and said, "Yes, what the county lord said is true."

"Fan...Mr. Fan, never beat Chen Qing."
