Chapter 25 The mirror hangs high and is fair and aboveboard(2/2)

Shaking his head, Tie Tang said: "There is no news from the Meihua inner guard, maybe it hasn't arrived yet."

"The magistrate of Youxian County was personally ransacked by the Supervisory Envoy Su, and his official hat was removed.

A whole family was beheaded, some were exiled, some were exiled, and some of their female relatives were sent to the Jiaofang Division.

Do you think it’s miserable or not?”

Tie Tang, who had not yet recovered from the news, nodded subconsciously: "It's so tragic!"

But then he added: "You should deserve it, right?"

The magistrate looked up at the plaque with the words 'Qing Shen Qin Qing' and said calmly: "You deserve it? Maybe.

If this happens to me one day, what will you think of me?"

"This..." Tie Tang never thought about this problem.

"People in the world fear supervisors like tigers. They claim to patrol the sky and supervise the world, but who will supervise them?

To tell you the truth, I also took the exam to become an inspector, but was not selected in the end."

"Why?" Tie Tang's impression of the county magistrate is that he is conscientious and diligent in serving the people, and is a good parent official.

Yuncheng, which was originally backward and depressed, was managed in an orderly manner by him. He prayed for wind and rain, and dealt with natural disasters in a timely manner, releasing food for disaster relief.

Now that the curfew has been lifted, Yuncheng's business is booming and there is a trend of moving towards a big city.

This kind of person definitely has the strength!

"The character is not up to par."

Tie Tang was stunned and didn't know what to say.

At this time, a maid came over with two bowls of tea: "Sir, please give me tea. The boss, please give me tea."

The magistrate lifted the lid of the tea, took a sip of the aroma, drank a few sips, and looked cold.

"This Supervisor Su will not give up so easily. He was demoted to You County and is eager to return to where he came from.

The magistrate of You County... is just the first to be dismissed, but he will not be the last."

Tie Tang disagreed a little: "As long as you keep yourself upright, what's the point of fear?"

"Haha! If someone else had said this, I would have regarded it as a joke, but coming from the mouth of the iron catcher...it has some strength.

Who are the real officials who are not afraid of being investigated? Can they withstand the scrutiny of the supervisors in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty?

It’s just that few dare to check them.”

"The county magistrate is also afraid?"

"I'm afraid too!"

The magistrate admitted it generously and did not shy away from it.

"Tie Tang, you remember!"

"If you want to be a good official, you must first be a corrupt official."

"Be more ruthless than corrupt officials, otherwise how can you defeat them? How can you just open your mouth?"

Tie Tang shook his head solemnly: "I'm sorry Tie can't agree with these words."

The county magistrate didn't seem to care and continued: "When I first arrived, the people of Yuncheng were squeezed to the last bit by the wealthy squires here.

Not to mention the heavy taxation, even if there were cases of human life, they were easily covered up.

You think, if I treat it according to normal methods, can it be cured?

This is not a terminal illness, this is a death sentence, and only a handful of people can live happily."

"With your master's cultivation strength...and the imperial court as your backer, why are you afraid of these local snakes?"

"A county arrest wife can bring out the Fang family in Qingshui County and all the wealthy squires in Yuncheng. Have you ever thought about how many people are involved inside and outside?

Even if it’s Inspector Su, what do you think he relies on?

If it weren't for his two brothers, even his status as an inspector wouldn't be able to protect him.

Even so, hasn't he been demoted to You County now?"

Tie Tang's head was as big as a bucket, and he was brainwashed by the magistrate's absurd reasoning. Even though he knew it was wrong, he vaguely felt that it made some sense.

"Sir, what does this have to do with me?"

The magistrate narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Nothing can happen to you or the county magistrate. If something happens to you, who do you think the supervisor will look for?"

No need to think about it, there are three leaders in a city, no matter who has a problem, the other two will be the focus of investigation.

"When something happens to you, the supervisor will first check me. I can't let him find the reason.

You don’t know how much energy and financial resources this officer spent on suppressing the matter when the previous chief arrest officer died mysteriously.

Therefore, if it is some minor misunderstanding, I will do my best to resolve it if I can. If I really can’t resolve it... I will let you know."

"Is it really just a small misunderstanding?" It involves his own family and life, and Tie Tang will not completely believe the magistrate.

"You can rest easy if you don't pursue that unresolved case anymore. I still have some methods."

Sure enough.

The problem lies in that case.

"Thank you for your advice!"

"Go ahead, Qingfeng. If it's confirmed that he's not the murderer, let him go as soon as possible. The Fang family in Qingshui County is not someone to be trifled with."

"Tiemou understands."

After leaving Sanshengtang, Tie Tang felt a little dizzy.

Turning around and looking at the couplets in front of the door, I felt a little dazzling.

It's almost dawn.
