Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 124

A corner of Guzang City.

It's hard to imagine that in the city there are still courtyards with rough wooden fences as the walls. In the courtyard, two waist-high arborvitae grow wantonly horizontally, and there is nothing else.

There are three houses built of earth and rocks, with the doors open.

Even the cooking utensils are made of rough pottery, the stove is just three stones placed randomly, and the three rough pottery bowls are missing several gaps of different sizes.

In the dormitory there is only a piece of thin-skinned wooden board, piled up with stones, one end is high and the other end is low, and some buckwheat stalks are spread on the wooden board, not even the roughest horse.

Such conditions can easily achieve the "never close the door at night" pursued by the ancient sages, because there is nothing to steal, and if they steal, they will have a heart of compassion and give alms in turn.

Le Du Ada was in the empty main room, mutton was placed on the table, a pinch of earth was used as a furnace, three sticks of incense were lit, and a few pieces of paper ingots were burned, and ashes flew all over the room.

Awkwardly, Ledu Ada crossed his hands and saluted.

Cigarettes curled up, against the rough gods nailed on the wall, except for the different inscriptions and materials, the content was exactly the same as the one enshrined in the Dudu Mansion.

Because Ledu Ada was the one who missed.

Because, Li Xiyu did not shirk responsibility to him.

You don't need to enter the yard at all, you can clearly see every move of Ledu Ada.

Li Yifu muttered in a low voice, the possibility of Ledu Ada "missing" the whole matter is extremely high.

Fan Zheng also thought so, but without any real evidence, how can you convince the public?

Whether this business was done on purpose or by mistake, even if you invite Sun Fujia to come, it's hard to judge.

Therefore, for criminals with a bit of wealth, their family members will give some undue benefits to the inquisitors, not to mention letting others show mercy, at least they can't deliberately target them.

As soon as the hand is high, it may be over.

"There was an epidemic last year, and Ledu Ada's wife and children couldn't survive it, so he was left alone. Afterwards, Ledu Ada simply replaced it with this worst house, drank his worries, and soon became destitute again."

Fan Zheng read the news in a low voice, and became more and more sure that Ledu Ada was not so innocent.

……

Governor's Mansion, Fa Cao Gongfang.

Fan Zheng and Li Yifu carefully interrogated the servants who followed Liu Wu that day.

Liu Wu died, and the concubine was temporarily placed under house arrest in Guzang, which can be regarded as a witness for the events of that day.

"On that day, what was the reason for the dispute between Fan Hecheng Liu Wu and the governor Li Xiyu?"

Fan Zheng asked kindly.

Tears dripped from the servant's eyes, and he choked up and said, "Because of his humble status, the villain can't enter the second hall, so he waits for the county magistrate in the porch outside the door. Because the second hall is not big, the two of them didn't lower their voices, and they can still hear it roughly." arrive."

"At first, it was the county magistrate who had objections, saying that the governor asked the officials under his rule to write all those things... The experience was to show off his official power, which was unrealistic, and toss the officials. Then a dispute arose, the governor had a bad temper, and the county magistrate was also outspoken. , and refuse to bow their heads no matter what."

"The governor, who was angry, asked Wen Shi to take down the county magistrate and give him fifty lashes."

"The county magistrate received the rod, but still refused to give in, and roared to report to the governor. The governor became more and more annoyed, ordered to beat him harder, and the county magistrate's voice became more and more shrill, and finally died of exasperation."

Fan Zheng narrowed his eyes: "Before, did you hear that Liu Wu had a hidden disease?"

The servant shook his head resolutely, and his voice was stern: "The villain guarantees with his life, there will be no such thing!"

Hua Ming tried his best to record it, Liu Yan reviewed it, confirmed it was correct, showed it to the servants, read it again, and asked him to print his fingerprints.

Li Yifu smiled wryly.

There is no way to wash this place, so if you give orders to beat it hard, Li Xiyu should bear the consequences of what happens afterwards.

Let's put it this way, if someone kills someone with a knife, you can only blame the murderer, not the knife.

Unless, this knife has thoughts that it shouldn't have.

Next, change to Li Yifu and ask Ledu Ada.

"Ledu Ada, how long have you been in Liangzhou?"

Ledu Ada crossed his hands with a haggard look on his face: "When I returned to Shangguan, my father's generation moved from Shanzhou to Liangzhou and settled in Guzang."

"How many years have you had public dinners? How many years have you been asking questions?"

"In the fourth year of Zhenguan, the villain was recruited into the governor's mansion as an official. It took three years from Bai to Wenshi, and six of them were inquired."

Li Yifu patted the case lightly, with sharp eyes: "Since it is an old question, you should know the severity of the force, why did you kill Liu Wu?"

Le Du Ada replied helplessly: "The Shangguan ordered to beat hard. If you don't use force, you will not be able to live with your job. Even a small official has been tossed into misery. How can he dare to resist? He beat someone to death according to the order. Can't count on me?"

Repelling the left and right, Li Yifu had helplessness in his eyes: "Slippery little official, I am afraid that someone has given him advice, so he will not hold back."

Xiao and suona sounded, and the wailing echoed outside the gate of the governor's mansion.

"Who's home in Artemisia? There is no sage or fool in gathering souls. How can Gui Bo be urged? Human life must be hesitant."

The desolate elegy began, this is "Haoli", the elegy shared by the scholar-bureaucrats and the common people, while the princes and nobles used "Xielu".

To make matters worse, Liu Wu's family members came to guide the spirit, so they asked you what to do!
It's reasonable why you didn't come until now. The county magistrate doesn't allow people from this state to serve as officials. They also came from thousands of miles to be officials, but you beat and killed them innocently!
Li Xiyu, you have committed a crime!

Dressed in white linen, wearing a hemp belt, wearing hemp shoes, with a sackcloth tied on his forehead to wipe his forehead, with faint blood stains on his forehead, a middle-aged woman and two middle-aged men were on the side of the roadside of the Dudu Mansion. They did not block the door, but just knelt Kowtowing, weeping, and singing dirges, a few men who looked like tribesmen behind them held banners calling for souls.

This family knows the rules.

It's wrong to block the door, but if I kneel down to receive the undead, even if the emperor is in front of me, I can't say that I did something wrong, right?

Li Xiyu, dressed in white, put on the shackles, walked out of the gate of the Governor's Mansion, and said in a loud voice: "The matter of Liu Wu was caused by a certain Li Xiyu abusing public weapons for personal anger, which led to Liu Wu's accidental death. The Liangzhou Governor's Mansion has already dealt with this matter." It is reported to the imperial court that in a few days he will be taken to Chang'an for interrogation, whether he is beheaded or hanged, he is willing to be killed."

"And please be patient, I will never shirk!"

Don't come out in a crimson official uniform: "I use my official status as a guarantee. The results of this matter will come out in a few days, and please join the army with Sihu to live in the mansion at ease. After the truth comes out, the Dudu Mansion will assist Fan Hecheng's heroic spirit." Back home."

Don't Jia is too tired and crooked, almost dissuaded, let Li Xiyu be a little gentler with the officials below, he is too stubborn.

In the end, when something happened, an assistant officer had to come forward to shoulder the responsibility.

Nausea.

Fan Zheng and Li Yifu watched from the side, not intending to interrupt at all.

Let the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion handle this kind of shit by itself.

"Haoli" became more and more mournful, and the crying continued. More and more people gathered outside the gate of the governor's mansion, pointing at Li Xiyu.

It is true that you are the governor, and the officials below are also human beings, not cattle and horses that you can toss about at will!
