Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 283: Standing? No need
Before Yang Qian came, he had guessed that the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue from the imperial city would definitely come to him to ask for someone.

After all, the family was so big, and Zhou Ting was the leader, so he would be the first to bear the brunt of any problems. No matter what he thought, he couldn't just ignore it.

What's more, this right assistant minister also comes from a noble family and is essentially the same type of person as Tan Wen and others.

Ge Shuni who was present was actually also from a noble family.

But Liu Chuan is not like that. Liu Chuan belongs to the academy school, and his connections are also the academy way.

What about Yang Qian? Which faction does he belong to?
This problem actually became more prominent after Yang Qian became the acting chief constable in Jizhou Prefecture.

Logically speaking, Yang Qian should be from Liu Chuan's school, or the academy school.

But Yang Qian and Liu Chuan both knew that this was not the case. Many times, Liu Chuan hinted that Yang Qian should stand over, but Yang Qian declined.

Standing on a faction? Yang Qian didn't not understand, but he was disdainful. If a cultivator like him who used cheats to get into the officialdom still needed to rely on connections to climb up, didn't it mean that he was useless? A waste?

Therefore, Yang Qian does not belong to any faction. If one must classify him as belonging to a faction, then he is one of its own.

Liu Chuan knew some of Yang Qian's thoughts, so he quickly distanced himself from the matter. Although Ge Shu Ni didn't know, he knew that following Liu Chuan's actions would definitely not be wrong.

That's why this scene happened.

Yang Qian bowed to Zhou Ting and said, "Master Zhou, Tan Wen and the other two have been sued. They raped a woman, and several people took turns to rape her, and finally the woman hanged herself to death.

Now the plaintiff and the woman's body are in the patrol department. I believe that after the coroner examines the body, it will be determined whether the woman was abused before her death. If she was indeed abused, then we can torture Tan Wen and the other two.

Seeing that Tan Wen and the other two are delicate and tender, they will not be able to withstand the torture, and the truth will be revealed then.

Sir Zhou, don't worry. Once there is a result, I will report it to you immediately."

Zhou Ting raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that he had said so much, even mentioned the Right Prime Minister Tan Tongju, but in the end he got such a businesslike answer. Didn't he know what kind of character these dirty young masters like Tan Wen were? But for the sake of the Right Prime Minister and the family, Yang Qian should also take a step back, right?

Now you don't even bother to mention the conditions and don't leave any room for negotiation?
"Master Yang, are you really leaving no room for us?"

"Sir Zhou, it is my duty and the law. Yang Qian dares not and is unwilling to leave any leeway for a few villains."

"Have you thought it through?" Zhou Ting's face was gloomy and his tone was already very unfriendly. He felt that Yang Qian was deliberately targeting the noble families and even deliberately causing trouble. As for the "duties" and "laws" mentioned by Yang Qian, Zhou Ting just ignored them.

"Of course." Yang Qian was not at all false.

Liu Chuan couldn't hold back his smile. But Ge Shu Ni had a strange expression, he looked at Yang Qian with more appreciation, and looked at Zhou Ting with a sneer on his face.

Zhou Ting nodded, stood up and nodded to Liu Chuan, then turned and left. He would not argue with Yang Qian, as that would be a waste of face. All he had to do was to pass the news back to the imperial city immediately. Those families would naturally know how to deal with it.

Even if Zhou Ting knew that Yang Qian was a powerful immortal, so what? This is the Hongwu Dynasty. The rules of the family cannot be changed by just Yang Qian! After Zhou Ting left, Ge Shuni also stood up and said goodbye with a smile, and before leaving, he also bowed to Yang Qian.

"Brother Shuni admires your character. It is rare to find people who are not afraid of power nowadays." Seeing that Yang Qian was a little dazed, Liu Chuan guessed the reason and explained it.

"Sir, I am not afraid of power, but I just can't stand the frivolous behavior of Tan Wen and his gang. The subordinates here risk their lives, but these people don't take human lives seriously. What's more, they have no skills and rely on the blessings of their ancestors. It makes me angry just to see them.

Now that they are in my hands, I will certainly not let them off easily."

Liu Chuan smiled and said, "What are you going to do? Once Zhou Ting's news is passed on, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Personnel will immediately come to me to hold me accountable. It is unlikely that you will be punished, but your contribution this time will definitely be affected, and it is possible that it will be reduced by 40% or 50%. After that, you will definitely be transferred and replaced by someone else, and then Tan Wen and the other two will be exposed.

And after you are transferred, you will definitely not be able to go to a good place. You will definitely be tortured."

Liu Chuan's words were well-thought-out. He didn't scare Yang Qian. After Zhou Ting handed over the news, the family behind him would definitely do so. Yang Qian couldn't be killed because of his identity, but it was entirely possible to control Yang Qian and then throw him somewhere else to suffer.

But Liu Chuan left a loophole in his words. When Yang Qian came to ask him for help, as long as Yang Qian was willing to stand on his side and fully commit to the Academy School, then he and the people behind him would have every reason to confront the aristocratic families for a great talent like Yang Qian, and there would be no problem in protecting Yang Qian from being manipulated.

After all, Tan Wen and his men were just the playboys of aristocratic families, not heirs, so they would not let the two sides fight to the point of tearing each other apart. At most, they would exchange some prices. This was too normal in Liu Chuan's opinion.

As long as Yang Qian speaks up and takes sides, everything will be easy.

A lucky general is a lucky general, but things should be dealt with separately. Without an explanation, Liu Chuan couldn't let the faction behind him confront the aristocratic family.

But Yang Qian seemed to have completely misunderstood the implicit meaning of Liu Chuan's words.

"Sir, if this is all they have, then it's too boring. And even if Lord Zhou sends the message to the Imperial City as quickly as possible, it will take until the next day for the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Personnel to arrive, right? The official appointment and dismissal will only take effect after the original copy arrives in Jizhou Prefecture. It's impossible for it to take more than a month to go back and forth.

By that time, the ashes of Tan Wen and others would have been scattered.”

It's not that Yang Qian didn't understand, but he really didn't think it was necessary. It didn't matter where he was, he could still climb up steadily in another place. Did he really think that aristocratic families could cover the sky with one hand? If that was the case, wouldn't the Hongwu Emperor have been sidelined and died long ago?

So, just follow the laws set by the emperor. With Yang Qian's current cultivation and achievements, the emperor cannot ignore him. Choosing to take sides at this time is the stupidest thing to do.

"Are you going to kill Tan Wen and the others?" The smile on Liu Chuan's face disappeared in an instant. There is a big difference between cleaning up and killing.

Yang Qian nodded and said, "According to the laws of our dynasty, those who rape in turns or with multiple people will be punished by castration, and if the person dies, the crime will be aggravated and the person may be beheaded.

The subordinates thought that "causing death" also included forcing the victim to hang himself. Therefore, the crime above castration was beheading.

Moreover, Tan Wen and others had no merit or title, so there was no possibility of reducing their crimes. Moreover, the city of Jizhou was still on alert during wartime, so all cases could be handled more severely and quickly.

To sum up, if the trial results are announced tonight, the execution can be carried out at noon tomorrow."

Liu Chuan leaned back in his chair and suddenly felt that Yang Qian in front of him looked a little strange. This didn't seem to be his lucky general, but a tyrannical and cruel cultivator.
