Chapter 47 State Government Disposal Opinions
  After Lin Feng led the team back from Gaoliang Mountain, it instantly caused a sensation in the county.

The people's strong team of more than fifty people actually wiped out the ruthless bandit Gufeng Feng who had been entrenched in the north of Fugu City for five or six years and had been attacked many times without success by the officers and soldiers of the guard station. Lin Feng's prestige in the county suddenly reached its peak.

Every office and class in the county government office, as well as every major household in the county, are looking for opportunities to express their loyalty to Lin Da County Magistrate. The Li family, in particular, took the initiative to increase their investment in the old city reconstruction project and expressed their determination to make this project a model project for the entire county.

Only the Liu family in Dabao Town was shivering, and the whole family basically stayed behind closed doors for fear of causing Lin Feng's displeasure. However, Lin Feng found no strong evidence in Gaoliang Mountain. The head of the Liu family was still in jail in the county. Liu Shangjin was sentenced to beheading. In order to prevent panic and the Liu family's treasury was almost done, Lin Feng was not in a hurry to go. Move them.

In the past two days, Lin Feng convened a meeting with Li Xiongzhen, Fang Dashan and others, and clearly allocated 2000 taels for the construction of Gaoliang Mountain, renamed Gaoliang Village Sitong Village, recruited some refugees, and further expanded the size of the guard team.

These days, it is most practical to build stronger military force. Anyway, another 7000 taels were confiscated at the cottage this time, so Lin Feng's pockets are still very bulging.

At the same time, Lin Feng asked Zhang Tiechui to set up a blacksmith shop on the mountain village and select a group of blacksmiths with good technical foundation and relatively reliable skills to go to the mountain to prepare for the development of firearms. The cottage is well concealed and conducive to defense, and is most suitable for establishing a secret research and development base.

To be on the safe side, Lin Feng also arranged for the county government office to sell the land in Gaoliang Village to Sitong Express, a subsidiary of the Zhenming Group, at a low price. Even if the county magistrate was changed in the future, he would not be afraid of the government coming to claim the land.

The capital of Jiazhou.

It has been two days since Zhang Yingjie, the magistrate of Fugu County, arrived. The report on Ding Yingqi's suicide had been submitted that day, but Zhang Shangqing, the magistrate of the state, had not summoned him yet, which made him very anxious and even went to the state capital. Qingyanlou's interest was gone.

He also asked several acquaintances to inquire in the past two days, and they all said that the state government had not yet made a final decision, and asked him to wait patiently for the news.

It turned out that after the report from Fugu County came up, the person in charge of the interrogation was Li Runan, who had a drink with Lin Feng last time. Seeing that there were no problems with the report, he signed his agreement and reported it to the superior for approval. However, when the document reached Feng Mian, the colleague in charge of criminal prosecution, Can't get over it.

Li Runan had no choice. The county magistrate was still waiting for news in the state capital. So in the name of the magistrate of Fugu County requesting to see the prefect, he reported the matter to the prefect Zhang Shangqing.

Zhang Zhizhou was also very shrewd. When his main deputies disagreed, he fully developed his democratic style. Frankly speaking, he did not want to offend anyone, so he convened relevant officials for a collective discussion.

"Everyone, after reading Fugu County's report on Ding Yingqi's suicide, what do you think? Our state government can't wait to come up with opinions." Zhang Shangqing, the magistrate, asked.

"Sir, my opinion is very clear. There are many suspicions about Ding Yingqi's suicide. The state government should send people to conduct a thorough investigation. I think the county prime minister Lin Feng is very suspicious. He led the people to control Ding Yingqi. The county government is so troublesome. , why did Ding Yingqi commit suicide?"

Feng Mian, a colleague, clung to this suspicion and prepared to bring down Lin Feng because he did not give face to Lin Feng in handling Liu Shangjin's case.

"How to deal with it?" Zhang Zhizhou continued to ask.

"First remove Lin Feng, the county magistrate, and then the state government will send people to reiterate the case." Feng Mian was ruthless enough and prepared to take down Lin Feng in one fell swoop.

"Feng Tongzhi, whether there is any doubt depends on the evidence. The evidence of Ding Yingqi's guilt is conclusive, and the autopsy report made by the county government is also very clear. It should be no problem to find that he committed suicide out of fear of crime." The general judge, Li Runan, did not agree with Feng Mian and put forward his own opinion.

"The report made by this county magistrate may not be reliable. If the county asked him to give false testimony, would he dare not do it?" Feng Mian still insisted.

"Xu Tongzhi, what's your opinion?" Zhang Shangqing asked when Xu Shihua didn't speak.

"Sir, Feng Tongzhi's doubt may not be unreasonable, but what I think about is that there is no doubt that the evidence of Ding Yingqi's crime is conclusive. It is enough for him to be sentenced to beheading for colluding with bandits to rob tax money. What's more, this person is also Involved in many cases.

I think it's a good thing that he committed suicide, otherwise many people would have been involved. The borders of Shaanxi are very unstable now, and the chaos in Jiazhou is just beginning to subside. I personally feel that stability is the most important thing. Just let this matter be dealt with, and don't go to war. "Xu Shihua said.

"Does Xu Tongzhi mean to make peace with the mud? We can't tolerate sand in the eyes of those who seek criminal punishment." Feng Mian was like a porcupine with thorns all over his body, fighting whoever he caught. "Li Tongpuan just said that you need evidence to get a criminal conviction. Are you going to win a capable official based on a little guess? This Fugu is the only one in the state that has completed the task of collecting two taxes this quarter. The person in charge is Lin County Magistrate, do you want us to fail to meet the quota even if we collect the autumn tax?" Taking down Lin Feng obviously affects Xu Shihua's interests, so he must fight tit for tat.

"Xu Tongzhi's words make sense. This Ding Yingqi's crime is indeed extremely heinous. Suicide can only be an advantage for him. It is really not appropriate to remove a capable county magistrate for a doubtful point with no conclusive evidence." Zhang Shangqing also expressed his opinion in due course.

"Since Lord Zhizhou has said so, we can not remove him from his post, but temporarily suspend him, and wait for the other matters to be investigated. Even if Lin Feng has no other problems, at least the guard Ding Yingqi has neglected his duty. It cannot be justified if he does not deal with it." Feng Mian is still staring. Hold on to Lin Feng.

Although Xu Shihua wanted to protect Lin Feng, Feng Mian was in charge of this sentence after all. He did not agree that even if he knew the state, he could not force the change and could only report it to the Shaanxi governor's office for a decision.

However, this will inevitably show the incompetence of the governor, and generally the government offices will not do this.

"Since Feng Tongzhi insists so much, let's suspend him temporarily. But I think it's okay to re-investigate. Ding Dianshi's reason for committing suicide in fear of crime is also sufficient. The Prime Minister of Tinglin County can teach him a lesson for one month, and don't delay the collection of autumn taxes. "Zhang Zhizhou has finally reconciled, taking into consideration the opinions of the two deputies.

"Since Lord Zhizhou has decided, we will obey." Feng Mian still looked reluctant.

Zhang Shangqing glanced at Feng Mian, the warning was already very serious, I have given you a step to save face, don't rely on your old age to act shamelessly.

Seeing Zhang Zhizhou's obviously displeased look, Feng Mian finally became honest and signed the report submitted by Fugu, and wrote a recommendation to suspend Lin Feng.

This is why Lin Feng did not mention Ding Yingqi's collusion with Feng Mian in the report in order to quickly close the case. He felt that the parties involved should know better and would take the opportunity to cover up the matter.

Unexpectedly, Feng Mian was obsessed with profit and felt that Ding Yingqi was killed without revealing his relationship with him, causing him to lose a lot of money from Ding's tribute every year. In addition, Lin Feng refuted his face last time in Liu Shangjin's case and actually ignored him. No matter what, he must get Lin Feng. Anyway, he will soon reach the age of officialdom, so it doesn't matter.

The governor of the government office is the public house of the state.

"County Magistrate Zhang, let's let this matter be settled. Ding Yingqi commits suicide out of fear of guilt. The related cases will be settled and there should be no more extraneous matters." Zhang Shangqing said.

"But it's not appropriate to suspend Lin County Cheng. He has done nothing wrong, and he has to do many things in the county." Zhang Yingjie rarely persisted in front of Shangguan.

"This is the decision of the state government, and you will implement it. Suspension is not removal from office. It's okay to teach young people a lesson." Naturally, Zhang Zhizhou would not expose anything in front of his subordinates.

"Hey, the impact of this suspension is also very big. This year's evaluation will definitely not be rated as high, and there will be no hope of promotion next year." Zhang Yingjie wanted to struggle again.

"Lin County Prime Minister is still young, so it doesn't matter if he is delayed for a year or two. The key is to let him learn a lesson, be considerate in doing things, and not offend others." Zhang Zhizhou finally made a calculation.

"In this case, I will resign." Zhang Zhixian could only hold his nose and accept it.
