Idle courtiers

Chapter 491 Guo Xie
Shi Wenjiang: "Oh, it turns out that the county magistrate is here, please hurry up."

Zhou Nan glanced at him, and found that there was a trace of disgust in the expression of this former staff member.He keenly felt that the first and second leaders in Wanping County might not get along very harmoniously on weekdays.

As soon as the words fell, a black and thin middle-aged man in a seventh-rank official uniform walked in at the door of the judge's hall where the county magistrate was located. No need to ask, it was Baizhi County.

"Meet the county magistrate." Shi Wenjiang cupped his hands, ready to introduce Zhou Nan to him: "This is..."

Bai Zhixian interrupted him, and asked: "Shi Xiancheng, I heard that you went to the classroom to interrogate Fourth Brother Jin for a long time?"

Shi Wenjiang: "Yes."

Bai Zhixian said coldly: "Who told you to go to the trial? As far as I know, your Shixian Cheng doesn't care about the criminal name. Besides, the trial has been concluded, so what should you do?"

Zhou Nan was dumbfounded, the Baizhi county had completely disregarded Shi Wenjiang's face.

That's right, in the county government, when you meet a powerful magistrate, the second-in-command county magistrate doesn't have much sense of presence.However, everyone should maintain basic courtesy anyway.Even if you want to restrict you, it's just putting you in the sidelines and not sending you any errands.

I've never seen something like this directly yelling at you. This Baizhi County is a stick.

Shi Wenjiang was annoyed at losing such a big face in front of Zhou Nan.After all, he was a young man, and he was so angry that a large blood vessel in his neck was throbbing, and he also retorted: "Baizhi County, the criminal name is not under my control, and the money and grain are not under my control. I have to educate you, and then you have to pay for it." What do I do, what does the imperial court set up this county magistrate for?"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Zhou Nan interjected at the right time: "Wen Jiang, don't say a word, you must respect the superior."

Baizhi County asked Zhou Nan: "Who are you?"

Without waiting for Shi Wenjiang to speak, Zhou Nan cupped his hands and said, "I am Xu Yang, who was in the same year of the rural examination, and his surname is Yang. This time, I have been entrusted by the Xu family in Changping. Come here to inquire about the case."

"What does the Xu family's in Changping have to do with this case?" Bai Zhixian squinted at Zhou Nan.

Zhou Nan: "Fourth brother Jin's elder brother Jin San is brother Xu Nian's personal entourage, I'll come and have a look."

"Fourth brother Jin committed murder, the evidence is conclusive, the law of the country is like a mountain, no one is useless." Baizhi County doesn't know any Xu family, and shouted to Zhou Nan: "This matter has nothing to do with the Xu family, come here, see off!"

Feeling extremely humiliated, Shi Wenjiang slammed the table on the table in the county magistrate's judge's office: "Lord Bai, what do you want to do?"

Zhou Nan quickly waved his hand at him: "Come on, since Mr. Bai doesn't want to keep guests, Yang can only leave. However, Mr. Bai has to consider the consequences of this matter."

Bai Zhixian said coldly: "What are the consequences? Didn't the Xu family in Changping produce a governor and a county magistrate? Could it be that they still managed me, Wanping? If you say more, this county will be impeached." Governor Xu and County Magistrate Xu."

"Very good, very good." Zhou Nan flicked his sleeves and left the county office.

This Wanping was still more than 20 miles away from the capital, and the matter could not be done, so Zhou Nan could only stay at the post station.

He didn't go to urge Shi Wenjiang either, this matter is very secretive, so we must guard against too many people's eyes.

Shi Wenjiang can also be regarded as a person with amazing mobility, and he will definitely be able to get things done, so there is nothing to worry about.

Having nothing to say that night, Zhou Nan fell asleep.

After sleeping until midnight, Shi Wenjiang brought Fourth Brother Jin over and took all the files of the case. This kid is very careful.

Zhou Nan was very happy, and asked: "Wenjiang, how did you bring people out? As far as I know, the yamen is full of people from Baizhi County. Will the jailer let you mention the death row?"

Shi Wenjiang: "Of course I don't want to, but can't I just grab people and tie up the people in the classroom and gag them."

Zhou Nan: "This..."

Shi Wenjiang called out the door: "Come in!"

Two men came in outside, Natou bowed: "The villain has seen the Grand Master of Hanlin."

"You are……"

Shi Wenjiang said that these two men were confidantes of Lao Guo, the prime minister of Yuanma Temple and Beijing Temple, and they were from the frontier army.During the day today, Shi Wenjiang thought that it would be impossible to get Fourth Brother Jin out of the classroom, so he had to use force.The problem is that he has no one in his hands, so if he troubles Zhou Nan with such a trivial matter, he will be underestimated.

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of Lao Guo.

Lao Guo also simply sent the two most capable men over.

Zhou Nan was overjoyed, and helped them up: "Okay, go back and tell your lord, thank you so much, you should go back quickly, don't let anyone see you."

The two said respectfully: "Master Guo has ordered you to wait until the Grand Master of the Imperial Academy is sent to the capital before you can go back. Grand Master, please set off!"

"Okay, let's go!" Zhou Nan waved his hand.

Shi Wenjiang: "Where is Zimu going?" They have already violated the system by robbing people. If something goes wrong, he will not be able to do it as a county magistrate in the future.He also had doubts in his heart, Zhou Hanlin did such a big thing, what did he intend to do, and how will it end in the future?
Zhou Nan: "Go to Xiyuan, face the saint." Having said that, he smiled faintly: "Tomorrow morning is the day for His Majesty's banquet, so let's see the excitement."

Everyone was shocked, this... This turned out to be going to the emperor.

Zhou Nan pointed to Fourth Brother Jin: "Give him a weapon." Then asked: "Brother Jin, do you dare to kill someone?"

Fourth Brother Jin: "Returning to the Elder Master, I have killed a few Tatars on the battlefield before."

Zhou Nan: "Wait to enter the city, if anyone dares to stop me, I will kill them directly."

Fortunately, the road went smoothly. When everyone arrived in the capital, they didn't see any pursuers.The sky was just bright, and it happened to be the time when the city gate was opened at Maoshi.

The two soldiers from Yuanma Temple went back to report, and Zhou Nan asked Shi Wenjiang and Brother Jin to find another place to live, and Shi Shiran went to Xiyuan with the files.

At the gate of Xiyuan, Zhou Nan didn't talk nonsense, and directly showed the waist card that Princess Jiashan had given him before.

Jin Yiwei, who was guarding the confinement, knew Zhou Nan, so he let him go naturally: "So it's Zhou Tanhua, but he wants to enter the palace to face the saint, please come in!"

At this moment, a person came over: "Wait."

This person was Jin Yiwei Beiya Town Fu Zhu Lun, he asked in a low voice, "Where is Zhou Hanlin going?"

Seeing him, Zhou Nan felt something was wrong.The last time Jinyiwei and Dongchang teamed up to frame Xu Jie, everyone was already a life-and-death political enemy.Coincidentally, this birdman is here, and things are a little troublesome.

By the way, today is the feast ceremony, and Zhu Lun will also attend.

Zhou Nan: "I have seen Zhu Zhenfu, and I want to see Your Majesty."

Zhu Lun still looked shy, and spoke in a lower voice: "This, this, is it inconvenient? As far as I know, Zhou Hanlin doesn't seem to be on the attendance list. Also, your badge is Where did you come from, you have to make it clear, don't make it difficult for me."

Zhou Nan's heart skipped a beat. This man surnamed Zhu looked very shy and weak on the surface, but he was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. He made up his mind that even eight cows would not be able to pull back.

Mr. Zhou had seen his demeanor when he was handling the Huai'an case.

Zhou Nan: "Zhu Zhenfu, I have a secret document to enter before Chengyu, it's very important, please take me in."

Zhu Lun: "If there is a secret document, it can be forwarded to the imperial court through the Secretary of General Administration and the cabinet. No one will break the seal. Don't worry, my lord will go back and follow the system."

The so-called secret fold means that the emperor gave a few confidant ministers a privilege.Those who have this power are usually the ministers of the ministries, or the chiefs of the war zones, and the chief officials of the frontier in important positions.Their papers can be sent directly to the emperor without going through the cabinet to draw up the bills and the supervisor of ceremonies to approve the redemption.

As far as Zhou Nan knew, only Zhao Zhenji from Nanjing and Tan Lun from Fujian had the right to secret Zheshangzuo. After all, there was a war going on there.If there is an urgent matter to report, it will be too late to give instructions layer by layer.

Zhou Nan did not have this favor.

Zhu Lun said this purely to ridicule Zhou Nan.

As for today's matter, if the normal procedure is followed step by step, and Wan Ping discovers that the criminal has been robbed and makes a fuss, Mr. Zhou will be in serious trouble.

However, Zhou Nan had to take a risk because his future and credit were at stake.

"It's too late, is Zhu Zhenfu really unwilling to accommodate?"

Zhu Lun blushed and shook his head: "I'm sorry, it's my responsibility."

Zhou Nan: "Zhu Zhenfu, you are responsible."

Zhu Lun: "Master Zhou, please go back. If something happens, I will be responsible."

Zhou Nan suddenly sneered, and imitated him, shyly said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Today's matter is not small, we left the capital to solve the problem, may I ask, can Master Zhu really take this responsibility?" ?”

Zhu Lun changed his face in an instant: "What, Guo Xie, is it true?"

Zhou Nan nodded solemnly: "Of course it is true. I have evidence in hand, and I need to report to the emperor immediately."

Zhu Lun gritted his teeth: "This is a big matter, Mr. Zhou, please follow me."

After finishing speaking, he led Zhou Nan towards Yuxi Palace in a hurry.

The so-called Guo Xie was a famous ranger in the Western Han Dynasty.

It's a ranger, that's a good name, but in fact, it's the leader of the Heise Society who bullies men and women in the fish and meat town.

Guo Xie was cruel and vicious, killing people at the slightest disagreement, and his subordinates had numerous bloody cases.Even the local government is afraid of his viciousness and dare not provoke him.The local people only knew that there was Guo Daxia, but not the government.

Later, Guo Xie became even more powerful, and he was able to reach the top general Wei Qing.He can do many things that the government can do.He can do what the government can't do, and he is simply a proper underground regime.

This is simply treason. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious, and directly cut off the leader of the Heise Society, and wiped out the local evil forces in one fell swoop.

In any era, the Heser Society is a challenge to the state power and authority. If it is light, it is a bully landlord with heinous crimes, and if it is serious, it is plotting against the law.

Zhu Lun knew the seriousness of this matter, so naturally he didn't talk nonsense.

After a while, the two arrived at the Jingyan.
