Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 68
Fang Yuan looked at Lin Yangbo.

Seeing that the other party was also looking at him, he even smiled complacently, and immediately understood.

No wonder he was so unscrupulous, it turned out that the supervisory censor was invited, and the meeting minutes of the archives office of the governor's office must have been burned by him.

"Fang Zhouzun, the supervisory censor is very difficult, so be careful."

Du Miaoyan did not know when she had come to Fang Yuan's side, she reminded.

As far as she knew, the censors were all staid nerds, who would not give face to anyone, and they would impeach the emperor if he made a mistake.

Now it appeared in Liaozhou without warning, and happened to appear in Sanjia Village, it is estimated that someone deliberately invited Liancha Fangyuan, and the person who came was not kind.

"Thank you."

Fang Yuan nodded slightly.

Thank you Du Miaoyan for your kind reminder.

At this time, the people of Sanjia Village gave way.

Three lean middle-aged men walked out supported by nine officers and soldiers.

They were all stern, with serious and serious expressions, as if they were not close to strangers.

"Lord Inspector, don't you welcome me?"

Lin Yangbo smiled softly.

The grievance just now completely disappeared.

Because, the person he invited came, Fang Yuan was doomed.

Fang Yuan took a deep breath, calmed down, and walked towards the three supervisors.

The supervisory censor should have been invited by Lin Yangbo, but even he had to greet him personally.

"Fang Yuan, the governor of Liaozhou, and Lin Yangbo, the magistrate of Liaoshan County, welcome the three censors."

Fang Yuan walked up to the three of them and made a cross-hand salute.

Lin Yangbo, Zheng Jiu and other state officials followed behind, welcoming them.

The villagers of Sanjia Village saw that the governor and the county magistrate saluted, and hurriedly followed suit.

"My subordinate Wei Ting (Li Shuang, Tang Lin) pays homage to Fang Inspector Fang and County Magistrate Lin!"

The three also respectfully returned the salute.

Although they represent the emperor's order to patrol the prefectures and counties, their official positions are not as high as Fang Yuan and others.

Fang Yuan and the others bowed to them for the sake of representing the emperor's order, and they were the ones who really needed to salute to Fang Yuan and the others.

"Three censors inspect Liaozhou?"

Fang Yuan asked politely.

Every autumn, the imperial court will send supervisory censor Lian to inspect the prefectures and counties.

However, Datang has a vast territory, and it is impossible to inspect all counties every time, and they are all selected by lottery.

The lottery was conducted in secret, and the states and counties visited were also kept secret.

But according to the information provided by the people above Fang Yuan, Lianzhou was not included in the area inspected by the supervisory censor this autumn.

Fang Yuan wanted to make sure that the three of them were Lin Yangbo's accomplices?

In order to do a good job of attacking, so as not to offend the three people in a daze.

If not, try not to offend, so as not to impeach the other party in the emperor's ear every three days.

"This officer received a report that Fang Inspector abused his power, occupied private houses, embezzled and accepted bribes, and enslaved the people without a bottom line to resume farming. Will Inspector Fang admit it?"

Wei Ting looked Fang Yuan up and down, said in a deep voice.

He also noticed that among so many people at the scene, two civilians were injured.

According to the report, Fang Yuan is enslaving the common people to resume farming without a bottom line, so he diverted to Liaozhou to monitor Fang Yuan.

"deny."

"Does the censor have evidence?"

Fang Yuan shook his head, said calmly.

"There is evidence, it's on the way."

"This is not a place for confrontation, let's move to the court."

Wei Ting nodded and said calmly.

There are too many people at the scene, there are as many as five or six thousand.

Now it's very quiet and has no influence, but it's not suitable for discussion.

"Then move to the governor's mansion."

Fang Yuan had no objection, said calmly.

"I heard that you recruited [-] state officials and [-] security guards to run rampant in Liaozhou City."

"I don't dare to go, so go to the Liaoshan county government."

Tang Lin interrupted, with a very aggressive tone.

Among the three of them, he is the youngest and Wei Ting is the oldest.

"can."

Fang Yuan frowned slightly, said in a deep voice.

"Which one is the village chief?"

"Take the two of them to the Liaoshan County Government Office on the same level as me, and don't follow the others."

Wei Ting spoke again.

The scene is the testimony of Fang Yuan's enslavement of the common people, which cannot be missed.

Naturally, he was pointing at Ah Lei and Gouzi, both of whom were injured, which was the most direct witness.

"I, I am."

The village chief walked out with his hands raised.

Aleigh and Gouzi followed behind him.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Wei Ting nodded and said softly.

The stern face also showed a little tenderness.

"Three censors, please come here!"

Lin Yangbo walked out in time to lead the way for Wei Ting and others.

Tang Lin nodded, and was the first to follow, followed by everyone else.

After a while, everyone turned to Liaoshan County Government Office, Du Miaoyan and Wang Yushi also followed.

In fact, quite a few villagers from Sanjia Village also came along, who on the way exposed Fang Yuan to be tried by the censor, and attracted another group of people.

At this time, the Liaoshan county government office can be said to be crowded with people, all crowded outside the gate.

"Fang Inspector, I and others represent the imperial court to interrogate you, I hope you don't feel wronged."

Wei Ting sat at the trial desk.

Later on the two sides are Li Shuang and Tang Lin, who are also sitting.

As for Fang Yuan, he stood in the place where he should be a prisoner, facing the three censors.

As for the others, except for the master recorder who was still sitting, they all stood outside the courtyard.

"I am not guilty for the time being, and my rank is above all of you, so I should not stand."

"Zheng Jiu, move the stool."

Fang Yuan said indifferently.

After finishing speaking, Zheng Jiu squeezed in from outside the yamen.

He looked around the audience and walked straight to the master.

"stand up."

Zheng Jiubing said coldly.

Seeing that the master was still stunned, he directly picked up the other party, removed the stool, and placed it behind Fang Yuan's back.

"you you."

The chief secretary pointed at Zheng Jiu, blushing with anger.

But seeing Fang Yuan's sullen face, his county magistrate didn't speak, he didn't dare to continue.

The three of Wei Ting watched and frowned, but they didn't say much about it.

"let's start."

Fang Yuan sat down and said calmly.

"Let's first try the crime of enslaving the people and returning to farming without a bottom line."

"Witness witness Lin Yangbo."

Wei Ting said loudly.

Outside the courtyard, Lin Yangbo slowly stepped forward.

Fang Yuan looked indifferent, not surprised by this witness.

"My official, Lin Yangbo, magistrate of Liaoshan County, everything I said in the official hall is true."

"On the sixth day of September in the second year of Zhenguan, Fang Inspector Fang summoned the Inspector's Prefect Shi and the magistrates of the three counties to discuss the resumption of farming."

"At the meeting, Governor Fang asked the county magistrates of our three counties to resume farming at all costs, even if it means enslaving the people."

"The county magistrates of my three counties refused at first, but Governor Fang forced me to suspend my duties again. We can only obey orders obediently. The magistrates of the other two counties can testify to this matter."

Lin Yangbo saluted Wei Ting and the others, and said slowly.

As soon as the words fell, the people at the gate of the yamen were in an uproar.

Some people in Sanjia Village discussed and accused Fang Yuan.

"Fang Inspector, is what Lin County Magistrate said true?"

Wei Ting looked at Fang Yuan and said in a deep voice.

"Not true."

Fang Yuan shook his head, said calmly.

"Then submit the minutes of the meeting."

Wei Ting frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice.

What Lin Yangbo said may be false.

What Fang Yuan said could also be false.

But the minutes of the meeting can prove who is real and who is not.

"Last night, someone broke into the governor's mansion, injured three state officials, and burned the meeting minutes."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Sure enough, they were all prepared.

After the words fell, everyone at the scene was in an uproar again.

Lin Yangbo sneered, and glanced at Fang Yuan from the corner of his eyes.

Du Miaoyan began to worry about Fang Yuan, and unconsciously clenched her hands.

Wang Yushi on the side noticed and held Du Miaoyan's fist.

"So coincidentally?"

Wei Ting frowned even deeper.

"What a coincidence to burn the minutes of the meeting?"

"Does Governor Fang think that I will believe you later?"

Tang Lin interrupted and shouted loudly.

"It's such a coincidence."

"Believe it or not is a matter for the three of you."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Then send witnesses: Sanjia Village Chief, Villager Alei, and Villager Gouzi."

Wei Ting pondered for a moment, took a deep look at Fang Yuan, and then passed on witnesses.

If the minutes of the meeting were burned, it would not be possible to determine the authenticity of Lin Yangbo's test. At this time, a third-party testimony is required.
