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

Chapter 70
"The governor's mansion is mortgaged!"

"Before this official, three assassins have died in a row!"

"Since the three censors have come to Liaozhou, let's investigate these two things together."

Fang Yuan continued.

It doesn't matter whether the three of Wei Ting are enemies or friends.

Since it represents the arrival of the identity of the supervisory censor.

If anything happened in Liaozhou, they had to investigate.

The Pei family of Wenxi, the Liu family of Xie County, and the Xue family of Fenyin should cry too.

At this time, Pei Yonghui didn't cry, but stared at Fang Yuan with cold eyes.

"This matter. This matter must be investigated thoroughly!"

"What evidence do you have?"

Wei Ting sat down, unable to calm down, startled and angry.

Surprisingly, such a horrible case happened in Liaozhou.

What angered me was who was so bold that he dared to cause the three assassins to die strangely.

This matter is related to the face of the imperial court, and it is also related to the dignity of their Yushitai!

In fact, the imperial court once sent people from Dali Temple to investigate.

But because Wei Ting's official position is too low, some things have not been touched.

So now I only know it when I hear Fang Yuan mention it.

"There is a mortgage contract, but I didn't bring it with me."

Fang Yuan sat down again, said calmly.

The mortgage contract was originally at Sanxing Yaxing.

After arresting Qin Liangcai, the jailer found him and was taken into Fang Yuan's house by Fang Yuan.

"well."

Wei Ting was still a little lost.

He instinctively felt that this matter was beyond his control.

But now it's hard to get off a tiger, and Fang Yuan can't be rejected under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Moreover, it is related to the face of the imperial court and the dignity of Yushitai, so he bit the bullet and decided to accept it.

"Back, let's get back to the topic!"

"Has the magistrate of Yushe County and Hepingcheng County arrived yet?"

Tang Lin's tone trembled slightly, he looked out the door and said.

The people also turned their heads, but no other magistrates appeared outside the door.

"Come on, please wait a moment for the three censors."

Lin Yangbo said respectfully.

Mentioning the two county magistrates, he calmed down again.

Fang Yuan mentioned the strange death of the three governors and shocked everyone.

But as long as the other two county magistrates came to testify, Fang Yuan's official career would be over.

For a commoner who is not the governor, crushing him to death is easier than crushing an ant.

Pei Yonghui also sneered, looking at Fang Yuan was like looking at a dead person.

Wei Ting was silent, as if he was thinking about whether to continue waiting.

At this moment, there was a shout outside the door.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the magistrate of Yushe County (Pingcheng County) is here."

Soon, the common people made way.

Two governors in official uniforms walked in quickly.

"Zhao Minda, magistrate of Yushe County (Luo Yuansi, magistrate of Pingcheng County), has met three censors."

Zhao Minda and the two saluted.

"Free gift!"

"Do the two county magistrates already know what it means to summon the two people?"

Wei Ting held his right hand up, but didn't get up.

Now that the Three Kingdoms are sitting in the courtroom, they are the biggest on the scene, so they don't need to return the gift.

"Already know."

"My official Yushe County Magistrate Zhao Minda, everything I said in the 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."

Zhao Minda spoke first.

Then Luo Yuansi almost repeated his words.

And what the two said was exactly the same as what Lin Yangbo said at the beginning.

"Inspector Fang, the evidence is here, what else do you want to say?"

Tang Lin scolded Fang Yuan again.

Three county magistrates made corrections at the same time, and the villagers of Sanjia Village also suffered.

If Fang Yuan has no other evidence to prove his innocence, he can be convicted.

"My officer."

Fang Yuan's face was a bit ugly, he lowered his head slightly.

When Lin Yangbo, Xie Wenyu and others saw this, their eyes became brighter.

In such a situation, it can be seen that Fang Yuan has no self-certification evidence, he is dead.

Pei Yonghui outside the arena also smiled, confidently he never regarded Fang Yuan as an opponent.

He has always said to Lin Yangbo and others that Fang Yuan is not based on evidence, and now he has fallen into his trap, and there is no possibility of prosperity.

Maybe the one who is really worried about Fang Yuan in the field belongs to Du Miaoyan.

At this moment, her palms were sweating, she looked at Fang Yuan nervously.

The minutes of the meeting were burned, and the three county magistrates jointly framed him. I am afraid that it will be difficult to turn over, and I am afraid that he will be deprived of his official position and sent to the frontier.

"Miaoyan, don't be afraid."

Wang Shiyu comforted her.

Hold Du Miaoyan's hand tightly with his right hand, fingers crossed.

"Brother Wei, judge."

Tang Lin urged in a low voice.

He couldn't bear to give Fang Yuan a sentence.

"Fang Inspector, you have abused your power, enslaved the people to return to farming, treated human life like nothing, and hurt Alei Gouzi, a villager in Sanjia Village. According to the Tang law, I will deprive you of the position of Inspector and sentence you."

Wei Ting said in a deep voice.

The right to supervise the censor is so great.

If they have evidence, they can sentence magistrates.

That's why both the central officials and local officials are afraid of it.

But they are not arbitrary, and they have to send the evidence and judgment back to Yushitai and the Ministry of Officials.

After the review and confirmation of Yushitai and the Ministry of Officials, the real documents will be issued, and the judgment of local officials will take effect.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, someone shouted outside the yamen, interrupting Wei Ting's sentence.

Everyone looked at it with different expressions, and the common people made way again.

"Zhou Zun, you have been wronged by the late arrival of the official!"

Zhang San ran in quickly.

Respectfully salute in front of Fang Yuan.

He was out of breath and pale.

"It's not too late, it's just in time."

"Give the evidence to the three censors."

Fang Yuan raised his head, showing a triumphant smile.

"Yes!"

Zhang San said yes!

Go to the three censors on the stage.

Lin Yangbo and others were shocked, they looked at each other, they couldn't think of Fang Yuan's evidence.

"This is the minutes of the meeting?!"

Wei Ting accepted Zhang San's evidence, not sure.

As soon as the words fell, the faces of Lin Yangbo's three county magistrates turned pale.

"Not bad!"

"That's exactly the minutes of the meeting."

Fang Yuan got up and smiled lightly.

"impossible!"

"You just said it was burned!"

Lin Yangbo panicked and shouted loudly.

If there are meeting records, it will prove that the three of them gave false testimony in court.

Slandering the governor and cooperating to give false testimony, this crime will at least be deprived of his official position, and he may face prison.

Wei Ting looked at the meeting minutes, then looked at the listing, his brows were furrowed into Sichuan characters, he also remembered that Fang Yuan said just now that the meeting minutes were burned.

The testimony before and after was wrong, Fang Yuan also lied in court?

"This official has the foresight. Yesterday at noon, someone submitted a copy to the Ministry of Officials for record."

Fang Yuan laughed.

Last night, the archives office of the Governor's Mansion caught fire, which made Fang Yuan feel that things were not that simple.

So he asked Zhang Sanbabali to rush to catch up with the messenger who set off at noon.

The 500-kilometer road from Liaozhou to Chang'an City takes two or three days for normal horseback riding, but one day is enough for urgent ones.

The courier is not rushing to deliver the letter, so it is natural to go slowly, and the resting place is also the imperial post.

Zhang San was in a hurry for eight hundred miles, and it was convenient to find a post station at night, and the time for the round trip was just enough.

Everyone was in an uproar, shocked by this reversal.

"you you you"

Lin Yangbo's three county magistrates pointed at Fang Yuan and were speechless.

They had deliberately ordered people to burn down the archives, they didn't expect Fang Yuan to have such a backhand.

"Three censors, what is the crime of framing your superiors?"

Fang Yuan raised his mouth, glanced at them from the corner of his eyes, and asked Wei Ting and the others.
