People are among the Eight Immortals, starting from Painted Skin Ghost

Chapter 53 Lintai Di Huaiying;

Under Zhou's governor's arrangement, Han Xiangzi lived in the governor's mansion for a few days.

As a result, the governor this week followed his promise.

He didn't treat him as an outsider, and ran to him for help when encountering difficulties every now and then.

With the help of Han Xiangzi, Governor Zhou obtained a lot of evidence.

After some follow-up, he discovered that a considerable number of officials in Qizhou had serious problems.

Among them, one out of ten can be directly arrested and imprisoned.

Those who can be punished and held accountable, four to five out of ten!

This ratio is quite scary.

Governor Zhou was really taken aback after reading it.

But when everything was traced back to the source, he calmed down a little.

All the blame lies with Nawu Sima!
This Wu Sima, to put it bluntly, is a rat droppings that ruined a pot of soup.

……

On the second day of the Governor's Mansion where Han Xiangzi stayed, Governor Zhou brought the Mizhou county magistrate for interrogation.

The county magistrate Ying has been under custody for the past few days.

All day long, although the people in the governor's mansion took good care of food and drink, his heart was always in torment.

I don't know why the governor has caught him?
What crimes were exposed by his colleagues in Mizhou County?
He thought about it for a long time, and his mind was hard to be at peace.

In fact.

After the magistrate Ying came to Mizhou County, he didn't make any big mistakes.

But small mistakes have been made.

For example, if a son of a rich family in the county committed a lawsuit, as long as the family is willing to send money over, he will follow the principle of turning big things into small things.

If there is a major case of beheading, the county magistrate Ying still has a clear heart, and he should be killed.

No matter how much money he gave, he didn't dare.

Which is more important, the county magistrate Ying can still make it clear.

For this reason, Ying County Magistrate's reputation in Mizhou County can be described as uneven.

The dignitaries said that he governed well.

As for the people of the Li people, it is said that he is fatuous and incompetent.

After taking office, nothing has been done.

Regarding these, County Magistrate Ying thought a lot about it. In the worst case, he would be dismissed from his post, stripped of his official status, and demoted to a commoner.

There was only one thing he wasn't sure about, and that was the case of counterfeit medicine.

After all, there are many dead people involved in this case.

At the beginning, in order to cling to Wu Sima, he directly suppressed this matter.

Fortunately, most of the people in those villages are honest and honest, they have planted the land all their lives, and they dare not mess with the government.

After suppressing it, he swallowed his anger and didn't make a fuss afterwards.

This week, the governor did not see the county magistrate for a few days, and found that the latter had lost a lot of weight.

It fell as he expected.

This method of solving the case was learned by Governor Zhou from Di Huaiying.

In that year, Di Huaiying served as Minister of Dali Temple, and resolved nearly [-] cases a year, almost finishing the old cases accumulated in Dali Temple.

This is nothing?
What is amazing is that in the case Di Huaiying decided, no one appealed for grievances!
At that time, as soon as this matter happened, the government and the public were shocked, and the whole Chang'an was in an uproar!
The sage was overjoyed when he learned about it, so he ordered him to write a case-solving strategy for all officials to learn.

Inspector Zhou detained Ying county magistrate in the mansion. The reason why he hadn't interrogated him for many days was because he wanted to put psychological pressure on him!

Once the pressure is too much, the latter must be anxious!
In a few days, it will completely collapse.

In the retrial at this time, most of the prisoners confessed truthfully.

Sure enough, as Governor Zhou expected, he brought the case of Ying county magistrate to trial, which went very smoothly.

The county magistrate Ying has almost explained everything that should be explained.

When Inspector Zhou interrogated other Mizhou County officials before, he already had some criminal evidence against the county magistrate in his hands, and the current retrial is nothing more than a review.

Of course, County Magistrate Ying also told how he and Wu Sima colluded, and on weekdays, the two of them exchanged letters.

I don't know.

With the help of Han Xiangzi, Governor Zhou had already found those letters.

I am not afraid that the county magistrate will not confess.

"I didn't expect that Wu Sima has such a wide circle of contacts. Most of the officials in Qizhou have contacts with him secretly."

"I clicked it, and the money he sent was almost 3 taels. He is really rich and powerful. No wonder many people in the state betrayed his face."

"On weekdays, it's easier to talk than me, the governor."

After the trial of the county magistrate, Governor Zhou came to the study, and he clicked his tongue a little after counting.Talk to Han Xiangzi.

To know.

As the governor of a state, Governor Zhou is a member of the fourth rank.

A year's salary, plus salary and employment, is only a mere five or six hundred taels.

Even if there is extra income, Ding Po Tian is only more than a thousand taels.

"It seems that Wu Sima is still a corrupt official."

Han Xiangzi was also surprised when he heard this.

"Master Immortal, now that the evidence is enough, I can order the arrest of Sima Wu."

"I hope that after taking him down, Qizhou can be restored to peace."

Governor Zhou glanced at the list of Wu Sima's crimes on the table, and then spoke to Han Xiangzi.

"Will do."

Han Xiangzi took a deep look at him and wished.

……

But said.

Wu Sima couldn't find any trace of Hu Mei'er at the mansion that night, but because he swallowed the Humixiang Pill, his lust was hard to get rid of, so he had to find a decent maid to deal with him all night.

The next day.

After he woke up, he started looking for Hu Meier again.

Wu Sima even went to the fox house where the two usually lived.

Unfortunately, there was no one in the house, not even the servants.

At this time, Wu Sima realized later, thinking that the three of Hu Xiangu had left Qizhou.

But it shouldn't be?

The Fox Temple on the other side of Dongmo Lane has not yet been built.

Thinking of Dongmo Lane, Wu Sima sent someone to inquire again, only to find out that Dongmo Lane has been restored to its original state, and there are no more ghosts.

So far, Wu Sima can only helplessly accept the fact that Hu Xianzi and others have left.

But in recent days, Wu Sima suddenly felt that Qizhou's officialdom was not peaceful.

Many people were summoned by Governor Zhou for questioning.

Some people can still come out the next day, and some people just went in and never came out again.

Up to now, no matter how stupid Wu Sima was, he could sense something was wrong.

Thinking of Hu Xianzi and others leaving without saying goodbye, and the current situation in Qizhou, he suddenly felt that he was in danger.

Fortunately, the bottle of Humi Xiang Wan was sent to Mr. Zhu that day.

In addition to his previous political achievements, as long as Master Zhu recommends him in front of the Holy One, he will be able to return to Beijing in a short time.

With such an illusion, Wu Sima finally felt more at ease.

But things are unpredictable.

this day.

Wu Sima was still in the mansion, enjoying the maids beating their shoulders and rubbing their backs, when suddenly there was a thunderous voice outside the door:

"Come on!"

"Lord Inspector has an order to surround the Sima Mansion and not let anyone go!"

Looking over, under the plaque of the Sima Mansion, the hulking, stern-faced Captain Xia was riding a tall horse, holding a whip in his hand, and shouted orders.

"Master Wu, it's not good!"

"Lieutenant Xia of the Zhechong Mansion was ordered by the governor to surround the Sima Mansion!"

At this moment, a servant hurried in, with a look of panic, he came to Wu Sima and said.
