Chapter 113 Yao Tongzhi investigates the case (Part )
  "Bang!" Yao Lu slapped the alarm and said angrily: "This Fugu County Magistrate is simply lawless and cares about human life. I must take him down!"

"My lord, my lord, this County Magistrate Lin is the head of a county and is a seventh-rank official. To take him down, you need to ask the imperial court for permission." When the official Fan Wei saw that Yao Datong was too deep into the drama, he immediately reminded him. .

"Huh, in this bright world, we will not let this evil official go unpunished." Yao Lu continued to pretend.

"Sir, there is not enough evidence to overturn the case based on Guo Lian's confession alone," Fan Wei continued.

"Then continue to find someone to interrogate. I don't believe that their Fugu County government is monolithic. We must find someone to report." Yao Lu said.

As a result, the state government's overturning team led by Yao Lu began frantically interrogating county government officials, preparing to break Lin Feng's fortress from within.

However, the people in the county government have been getting better and better since last year. Everyone admires Lin Feng and knows the methods of Lin Feng. No one is willing to cooperate and come forward to accuse him.

Yao Datong was so angry that he threw a cup in the room every day and cursed that the entire Fugu County was in darkness.

County government office.

Su Shunnian couldn't stand it anymore and came to Lin Feng to complain: "That Yao Tongzhi is just messing around. He is looking for people to question everywhere. Now he is directly inciting the officials to report our county government. The officials are not willing to let him go. It's serious." It affects the operation of the county government.”

"Then why are you cooperating? Everyone is busy with their own affairs. If you come to find someone to investigate, just tell them they are unavailable and ask them to come to me if they have something to do." Lin Feng became angry when he heard this.

"After all, he is a state government official. Isn't this bad?" Su Shunnian asked worriedly.

"What's wrong? Is this what Shangguan should do? From today on, we won't provide food to them. There is no rule that Shangguan must take care of the food when he comes." Lin Feng said.

"This, this..." Su Shunnian was in a dilemma.

"Why, are you so afraid of offending the people in the state government? You are going to serve me without stopping me." Lin Feng's tone was obviously unhappy.

"No, no, I must have listened to the county magistrate. I understand." Su Shunnian said quickly. This old official was very considerate, but he was too timid.

For this subordinate who was relatively easy to use, Lin Feng also deliberately forced him to take sides. If he still wanted to be a weakling at the critical moment without offending him, then replace him as soon as possible.

County government guest house.

"Sir Tongzhi, there is a former clerk in the execution room of the Fugu County government office. He found out about our magistrate in Chalin County and came to us on his own initiative, saying that he had inside information." A clerk came over to report.

"Oh, let him in quickly." Yao Tongzhi immediately cheered up when he heard that someone had finally testified.

The person who came to inform was Zhou Dawang, a scribe who had been fired from the execution room. He had been living in a tight situation recently.

He accidentally heard that a clerk who was familiar with the county government complained about the state government's investigation again, and he immediately felt that the opportunity to turn around had come.

After Zhou Dawang was brought in, he said with a flattering look on his face: "My lord, my lord, that Lin Feng was so bold when he was the county magistrate. It turns out that he was the one who killed Ding Yingqi, the magistrate of the county government."

"Do you have evidence?" Yao Tongzhi asked.

"We all know Ding Dianshi well. He would never commit suicide. He was not convicted at that time. He must have been killed by Lin Feng.

And later I heard from his family members that there was a big discrepancy between the money at home and the county government inspection, and it must have been swallowed up by Lin Feng. "Zhou Dawang informed.

"This is also a clue. Do you know anything about the Guo family case?" Yao Lu continued to ask.

"The Yihe Guo family has been doing business in the county for decades. How could they collude with the Mongols? This is obviously unreasonable."

"Is there any concrete evidence?"

"Is this true?" "There is no evidence. Then next time I ask you to testify against Lin Feng, do you dare?"

"You dare, but I don't have enough to eat now, so I'm afraid I won't have the energy to correct you." Zhou Dawang came here to ask for money, so naturally his efforts would not be in vain.

"Fan Wei, give him a few taels of silver first, and there will be a reward after the work is completed." Yao Lu said.

"Yes!" Fan Wei reluctantly paid a few taels of silver after hearing this. He didn't know if he could be reimbursed when he went back. Now the state government is very poor.

After sending Zhou Dawang away, it was already getting late. Yao Lu felt hungry, so he said to Fan Wei, "Go and hurry up the people in Fugu County. It's so late and no food has been delivered."

"I'll go right away." Fan Wei also felt hungry and hurried out.

After a while, Fan Wei walked in with a look of constipation and replied: "Sir Tongzhi, the county government said that they will not provide us with meals from this meal on, and let us find a way to solve it ourselves."

"What! They are so brave." Yao Lu became angry when he heard this. He used to be in the Provincial Provincial Envoy Si Yamen, and everyone was afraid that they would supervise the impeachment. He was not respectful wherever he went, and now he didn't even eat when he arrived in Fugu. Supplied, it is simply arrogant and deceptive!
  "Where's Lin Feng! Call him!" Yao Luleng was about to explode with rage.

"The Fugu Yamen officials said that County Magistrate Lin has sent the Yamen back." Fan Wei replied.

"Ah...Lin Feng, you must die a good death. I swear I will not be a human being until you are tortured to death!" Yao Lu felt like he was going crazy with anger.

However, no matter how angry they were, the food would not fall from the sky, and they would get hungry quickly after shouting too much. Yao Lu and others could only go to the street to have dinner in despair.

The most depressing person was Fan Wei, the secretary of the execution room of the state government. Yao Datong knew that he would not pay for meals. The other scribes had little money, so he had to pay the bill.

If I had known better, I would not have come on this errand. I deliberately went to the county government office to find trouble. It would be strange if others could treat me well.

Early the next morning, Lin Feng had just entered the public apartment.

The door was kicked open with a bang, and Yao Lu barged in angrily, yelling angrily: "Well, Lin Feng, I think you don't want to be the county magistrate anymore. Not only do you not allow people to cooperate with the state government's investigation, but we also I dare not provide meals for you.”

Lin Feng said calmly: "The imperial edict of the Ming Dynasty makes it very clear that when officials go out, they can only use their official credentials to provide food and accommodation at the inn or provide for themselves. Which provision requires lower-level officials to provide meals?"

The Ming Dynasty was drafted by Zhu Yuanzhang. He hated the privileges of officials. Even his salary was set at an extremely low level. How could he leave officials the right to eat and drink with public funds.

It's just that unspoken rules at all levels are prevalent now, and no one really has to follow the instructions. But when this is put on the table, there is nothing to say.

"You! Okay, you are cruel, we will eat this meal ourselves. What do you say if the people in your county government do not cooperate with the investigation?" Yao Lu was able to pass the Jinshi examination, so he naturally knew about the Ming Dynasty. I didn't expect that there were actually 250 officials who followed this rule. Come.

"We will naturally cooperate with the normal investigation. You can't frame something that doesn't exist out of thin air." Lin Feng replied.

"Even if your people don't cooperate, based on the files alone, your confiscation of the Liu family's property in Dabao is wrong. I order you to return the property to the Liu family immediately. The matter of the Guo family is even better. I will take Guo Lian and others to Huizhou Yamen Continue the investigation." Yao Lu knew that he would not be able to find out anything if he stayed in Fugu, so he planned to return to Zhouya to impeach Lin Feng.

"The confiscation of the Liu family's property is legal and there is no possibility of returning it. Sir, if you want to go back, please do it yourself and see the guests off!" Lin Feng said unceremoniously.

"You, you! You are so rebellious and unethical, I must impeach you!" Yao Lu said angrily.

"Excuse me, I heard that Mr. Tongzhi has been in a bad mood recently and smashed a lot of cups and dishes in the county government guest house. It's not good for children to hit them. Even if no one is hit, compensation for damage to public property will still be required. At the same time, Master Zhi must settle this account when he leaves." Lin Feng stabbed him.

"You! You really make me angry!" Yao Datong almost passed away in one breath.

　Lin Feng angrily criticized Yao Tongzhi.
