Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 107
Chen Qingsi did not intervene in the case and hid far away. He only asked Wei Hao and Kuang Zheng to escort Rongcheng to Tonglu County to serve as witness and material evidence.

During this period, Chen Qingsi completely pretended that this matter did not exist.

That is, after Wei Hao and Kuang Zheng returned.

Chen Qingsi took Kuang Zheng and reminisced with fellow villagers, and then they learned about the whole case.

Kuang Zheng drank some wine, patted his thighs and said with a smile: "Ji Wen was really screaming about injustice from beginning to end. It was not Rong Cheng who was instigated by him to light the fire. This scholar is in a hurry and has no grace at all. He curses Rongcheng unjustly accused him. One moment, he said that it was He Yuan, the village leader of Majia Village, who slandered him. The next moment, he said that Rongcheng had benefited from you. He didn’t even think about it. Rongcheng, the traitor, was really arranged by you. He didn’t even have the chance to control himself and defend himself. nothing."

Chen Qingsi heard this strangely and asked, "This case shouldn't be difficult to try. How could Ji Wen be forced to bite people randomly?"

"Hehe!" Kuang Zheng laughed out loud and said: "This case is simple, but the problem is that He Yuan learned that Xu, the governor, brought the governor Shi and Sima to the county to question the crime, and hanged himself. As for why he hanged himself. Yes, no one can tell."

"Pfft!"

Chen Qingsi was very good at the city, but at this moment he couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

This case of arson is straightforward.

But because it was too simple, there were only a few people involved in the case, including Ji Wen, He Yuan, and Rong Cheng.

Now that He Yuan is dead, Ji Wen and Rong Cheng have directly lost a connection point.Did He Yuan commit suicide out of fear of guilt, or was Ji Wen so mad that he killed him or forced him to commit suicide after the incident came to light?

The truth can never be restored.

In short, He Yuan's death left the matter without proof.

Rong Cheng committed a crime in which he gained all the stolen goods, and his confession was the only criterion for credibility.

No matter how absurd this matter is, no matter if it is analyzed from a rational point of view, it is useless that Ji Wen cannot be so stupid.

The yellow mud in your crotch is shit.

Chen Qingsi said with a smile in her eyes: "What's the final result?"

Kuang Zheng drank a glass of wine and said: "Xu Governor dismissed Ji Wen and Ji Tao, sent Ji Wen to prison, and temporarily ordered the county captain and chief registrar to temporarily manage the affairs of the county. How will the verdict be decided? There is no conclusion yet. However, the outcome will not be good, and the matter of the silkworm seeds has been exposed. When I heard about it, Governor Xu was very angry when he learned about it, and he angrily accused Ji Wen of being a wolf and a beast, and he was extremely vicious."

Chen Qingsi filled her glass of wine and drank it all, knowing that Ji Wen was doomed this time.

If someone from above really helped him in the arson case, he could get away with it, but the matter of silkworm seeds was intolerable.

Clothing comes first when it comes to food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Silkworm production is no less important than farming.

Corrupting the silkworm business is an unforgivable thing for a county magistrate.

Chen Qingsi was not surprised that Ji Wen had ended up in this situation, and had even expected it.

So Ji Wen has never been regarded as an opponent.

Ji Wen really doesn't have the qualifications.

As an official, the first thing you need to do is to make sure that you can secure the position, and then you can consider how to become an official.

Ji Wen came by air, carrying a heavy burden. He had no roots in the county, but he had evil intentions.

Even if his plan succeeds, Ji Wen will not end well.

He didn't have time to cultivate his own confidants, and all the dirty things he did were caused by conspiring with the people around him.The control is all in the hands of others. As long as one person has a problem, Ji Wen will not be able to please him.

Chen Qingsi has been passively counterattacking, not because he has no means to deal with Ji Wen, but because he does not want to leave an excuse for others and become a means for others to counterattack him.If such a gray matter was not handled by a truly trustworthy confidant, he would rather hold back and wait for the opportunity to fight back.

Ji Wen entrusted the silkworm breeding matter to Ji Tao and the internal response matter to He Yuan. If others were responsible for such illegal things, he would have to be involved sooner or later.

Chen Qingsi was in a good mood. The autumn harvest had passed and she had nothing to do, so she strolled to the county school.

When the children passing by saw Chen Qingsi coming, they all bowed and shouted: "Sir!"

Compared with when they first met at the county school, the children's postures have become much more standardized.

Chen Qingsi also returned the favor.

He found Zhuang Minrui, who was taking a nap in the office, and chatted with this well-connected but annoying old man.

After the Qingxi Poetry Fair, the literary style in Qingxi County flourished, and more scholars came to make pilgrimages. Scholars who were willing to stay temporarily in the county as teachers began to compete for jobs.

Nowadays, Qingxi County schools have begun to be picky and picky. Those who do not have a certain level are not yet qualified to take up positions.

Zhuang Mingrui also took a back seat and stopped teaching.

The difference between before and after does not need to be measured by reason.

The two chatted for a while, and Chen Qingsi asked: "How are Di Zong and Zhou Yi doing now? My wife was talking about them yesterday..."

Di Zong was one of the children rescued by Li Hongqing from Lion Bitou.

When Di Zong was abducted, his grandmother discovered it. The person who abducted him was so cruel that he killed him out of fear of disturbing everyone.

Originally a family of orphans and widowers, Di Zong's mother came back and saw that her mother-in-law died tragically and her son disappeared. In addition, her husband had also died in the war, so she couldn't think of committing suicide.

It's not that Di Zong has no relatives, but in a situation like Muzhou's, who would want to raise a dragster?
Di Zong stayed in the county school in Qingxi County.

Zhou Yi is Aunt Zhou’s grandson.

Xiao Miaochen no longer works in the county school, but she still misses her students from time to time.

Among them, Di Zong was the most worried because he was too pitiful.Zhou Yi was the most well-behaved and sensible person, which also left a deep impression on Xiao Miaochen.

Zhuang Minrui said: "Your wife's ability to recognize people is quite impressive. She has two students she admires the most. Di Zong has a tough character and studies hard. He is a good young man. Even at a young age, he encountered a disaster, was too thoughtful, and was a bit withdrawn. .Zhou Yi is also a talent that can be developed. He is smart and alert, and has extraordinary talents. However, he has an unstable mind and likes to fool around. He is always there when he makes trouble. If he can calm down and study hard, he is expected to go to high school. These two people have the greatest potential. Among the students in our county school, the most promising in the future are led by the second two. If the two personalities can be balanced, that would be perfect."

The old man sighed for a while, as if he hated iron for not being able to become steel.

Chen Qingsi said: "Having a heavy heart is not necessarily a bad thing. Only when you have a deep city can you do great things. A free-spirited personality means that you are not pedantic. Being able to lead students to fool around shows that you are popular. Mr. Zhuang does not need to pursue perfection. Everyone has his own advantages and talents. It’s good. If it’s really the same, it’s not beautiful.”

Zhuang Minrui hummed: "What you said makes sense."

Chen Qingsi rarely had free time, so she stayed at the county school to teach the children three classes, one class per year for the three grades, without favoring one class over another.

When teaching the second grade students, the performance of Di Zong and Zhou Yiji made Chen Qingsi's eyes shine.

A good pair indeed.

Chen Qingsi has always been interested in cultivating and developing confidants who can fight for him like a dead soldier, but there is no suitable candidate.

Since there are no suitable ones, why not cultivate a few yourself?
Although it takes a long time, it is the most trustworthy.

　Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, brothers. There is only one update today. Sorry, I had a little too much wine at a family gathering!
