Chapter 423 Man and God share anger
Seeing that Jin Xiangrui was persuaded, Fang Yiai was overjoyed, turned around and returned to the court, and happened to meet Xie Yaohuan who was going out after checking the files.
"Go to the inner office and say that it's inconvenient here." Seeing Xie Yaohuan was about to speak, Fang Yiai interrupted eagerly, and pulled her straight towards the inner office.
Seeing Fang Yiai walking into the inner office with ease, Jin Xiangrui touched his rosacea nose, sneezed, and said, "It's weird, this old man really doesn't see outsiders."
The three of them entered Jin Xiangrui's residence one after another. After knocking the door upside down, Fang Yiai sat on the tea table, and without waiting for Jin Xiangrui to pour the tea, she said straightforwardly, "Say it straight."
Jin Xiangrui bowed his hands to Fang Yiai and Fang Yiai respectfully, and then said leisurely, "Does your lord know the origin of the prefect of Caozhou?"
"Isn't he from the Guanlong clan?" Fang Yiai poured tea on his own, put a cup in front of Xie Yaohuan, motioned for Jin Xiangrui to sit down, and then said, "The Guanlong clan is all over Henan Province. How can I do this?" I don't know."
Hearing "Guanlong Gate Clan" twice in succession, a flash of resentment flashed across Jin Xiangrui's eyes, he let out a long sigh, and then slowly sat down on the lower seat.
"My lord only knows one thing. The magistrate of Caozhou is indeed from the Guanlongmen Clan, but he was the magistrate of Meiwu County before that."
As soon as this remark came out, Fang Yiai was taken aback. He never expected that the prefect of Caozhou was actually his predecessor.
"The first and third of the three county magistrates in Meiwu County died bizarrely and tragically. Only the second was promoted within a year. Could it be that the prefect of Caozhou is the second?"
Jin Xiangrui nodded in agreement, took Xie Yaohuan's words, and continued: "The magistrate of Caozhou first served as the magistrate of Meiwu County, then he was promoted to the magistrate of the state, and then the magistrate. He was promoted to three levels in a row, but it was only three years."
"Oh? He also served as the magistrate of the state?" Fang Yiai stroked her chin and said to herself, "I underestimated the magistrate of Caozhou."
"The magistrate of Caozhou is the county magistrate in Meiwu County, and the details are just hearsay, so let's not say anything."
As he said that, Jin Xiangrui looked at the doors and windows subconsciously, and seeing that they were closed, he continued along his throat: "When he was the magistrate, there was a small banditry outbreak in Kaocheng County, and most of the bandits were troublemakers. The ruffian, the magistrate of Caozhou at that time was the magistrate of the state, sent troops to wipe out them, killed about 30 people, but was rewarded by the governor."
"Inspector? Is the eldest grandson Anye?" Fang Yiai muttered, Jin Xiangrui saw him calling the governor by name, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes again, unlike the resentment he mentioned about the "Guanlong Clan" before, this gleam was a little shocked .
"That's right, it's the eldest grandson Anye. The magistrate of Caozhou seemed to have tasted the sweetness of receiving the award. He came to the county to sweep up the examinations when he had nothing to do. In the end, he seized the excuse and sentenced many villages such as Xiaohuai Village, Sanliu Village, and Wudian Village. The bandits, slaughtered one by one!"
"what!"
"This!"
Fang Yiai and Xie Yaohuan exclaimed in unison, even if they wanted to break their heads, they couldn't imagine that the magistrate of Caozhou would dare to do such evil things as killing the good and pretending to be meritorious.
"The magistrate of Caozhou and his vicious soldiers slaughtered four or five villages in a row. Except for the young children and the elderly who escaped by chance, the middle-aged men and women were all slaughtered."
"In this way, the prefect of Caozhou intended to let the elderly and children live?"
When Fang Yiai said these words, Xie Yaohuan immediately became dissatisfied, "It's not as good as a pig or a dog to kill a good man, how could he let him go?"
Jin Xiangrui nodded bitterly, "That's right, the prefect of Caozhou is indeed inferior to pigs and dogs. He didn't intentionally let the old people and children go, but ordered the soldiers to massacre the middle-aged men at night. Only a few old people managed to escape from the village with their children. "
Knowing the truth about the escape of the old man and the child, Fang Yiai snorted coldly, "The magistrate of Caozhou, you dog official! When I return to the government office, I will not give up with you!"
Cursing bitterly, Fang Yi felt suspicious in his heart, and murmured: "Even if many villages were slaughtered, Kaocheng County shouldn't have a population of only 8000, right?"
"Xiaohuai village and many other villages were slaughtered, and people in the nearby villages and towns were in panic. Due to the limited guidance of diplomas, they could not flee to other prefectures and counties, but could only move to other counties in Caozhou. Rao gave up his family and career, and passed the exam as a county. Within a year, more than [-] households were relocated, and with the massacred villages and people who died in natural disasters, there are only [-] people left in Kaocheng County."
After listening to Jin Xiangrui's words, Fang Yi's doubts disappeared, but new doubts followed.
"Since they fled to other counties, didn't the news come out?"
Jin Xiangrui smiled wryly, and said: "All the villagers who escaped kept silent, for fear of attracting the massacre of the prefect of Caozhou, and even if someone spread the word, who would dare to sue the officials? The county or the prefecture or even Henan Province?"
"Not only Henan Province, but also other provinces, and even Chang'an, are concerned with the power of the Longmen faction. Even if the petition leaves Caozhou Prefecture, Henan Province will be sad. Excuse me, after all, Changsun Wuji is the prime minister!"
After saying this, Jin Xiangrui looked helpless. Seeing this, Fang Yiai asked curiously: "Could the county lord have made a memorial for this matter?"
"I'm ashamed to say that although the lower official has the heart, he doesn't have the guts. The previous two magistrates of Meiwu County are a lesson from the past."
Fang Yi's heart trembled, and he lost his voice and said, "You mean, the reason why the first two Meiwu magistrates died in Hegong was because they wanted to expose the Caozhou magistrate's act of killing good people and pretending to be meritorious?"
"That's right, the two colleagues are not from the Guanlong clan, so it's impossible to sit idly by on this matter, but the lower officials don't have the integrity of the two of them, and I think they have let down the cultivation of their mentor."
Seeing that Jin Xiangrui looked lonely, and hearing that he was not from the Guanlong Clan, Fang Yiai asked curiously, "Isn't the county official a member of the Guanlong Clan?"
Jin Xiangrui nodded slightly, and said with a blushing face, "I'm ashamed to say that I'm not from the Guanlong clan, but from the Shandong gentry. I used to worship under Prime Minister Du in the early years."
"Prime Minister Du? Could it be the Prime Minister Du who is known as Fang Mou Duan?" Fang Yiai asked with a smile.
"Your Excellency's words are not bad. In the early years of Zhenguan, I won the first sixteen Jinshi, and I was fortunate to worship under my mentor."
"However, who would have imagined that a high-spirited Jinshi back then turned into a corrupt official who was fond of drinking and taking bribes in the end."
Hearing Jin Xiangrui's words, Fang Yixin was touched and thought to himself, "If I didn't rely on the background of Long Live and my father, I came to this Henan Road alone, I am afraid that I will become like Jin Xiangrui in a few years, right?"
"Jin county magistrate is more than discouraged, do you know the origin of this Caozhou general judge?" Xie Yaohuan smiled like a flower, and said to Jin Xiangrui.
Jin Xiangrui was quick-witted, cupped his hands and said: "I haven't asked the boss's name yet."
"My surname is Fang, my name is Jun, and my name is Yiai. I have worshiped under Prime Minister Du a few days ago, so I'm still from the same family as County Magistrate Jin." Fang Yiai said with a smile.
Knowing Fang Yi'ai's identity, Jin Xiangrui got up quickly, bowed respectfully, and said: "I don't know the son-in-law is here, so I hope to forgive my sin."
"The magistrate of the county is not afraid of power and exposed the despicable deeds of the magistrate of Caozhou for the people. He has already paid for his merits. What is the crime now?" Fang Yiai stood up and supported Jin Xiangrui, the smile on his face was mostly made.
The reason why Jin Xiangrui exposed the crime of the prefect of Caozhou's murder of a good person is because he was afraid of the power of the general judge in Caozhou; Added together, this is the series of his seemingly selfless actions.
Seeing through Jin Xiangrui's selfishness, Fang Yiai thought to himself, "Let him carry this black gauze first, it won't hurt Uncle Du's face, and as for the promotion, he has to show his real talents."
After thinking for a while, Fang Yiai cupped his hands and said, "Master, would you like to write a confession to help me remove the poisonous thorn of the prefect of Caozhou?"
"It's my duty." Jin Xiangrui clasped his hands in response, then walked to the desk, and wrote down his confession against the prefect of Caozhou for killing people and pretending to be meritorious.
After receiving the confession written by Jin Xiangrui, Fang Yiai smiled loudly, and was about to speak, but suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.
"My lord, someone from the government office is here."
Hearing the yamen servant's report, Fang Yiai quickly hid the confession at his waist, and looked at Xie Yaohuan, eyes full of vigilance.
Jin Xiangrui frowned, and asked in a low voice, "Who is here?"
"Reporting to my lord, Caozhou Zhizhou is written on the sedan chair outside the door. I think the person in the sedan chair is Zhizhou Lord?"
Knowing that Cai Shaobing was coming, Fang Yiai raised eyebrows and thought, "What a lingering old fox, he came after him so soon after smelling it!"
