Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty-Three: Coming
(By the way, do you think the protagonist is now invincible, killing people by blocking people, and killing gods by blocking people?)
Another rain broke out, and the streets were wet. The temperature dropped sharply, and people had to wear thick clothes when they went out. The news of the murder of the patrolman at the post station had already spread, causing storms all over the city.
Not long after Chen Tangxin took office, he had not yet established a firm foothold and had not made much achievements in the hearts of the people. When the people discussed it, they just regarded it as a topic of conversation after dinner. However, the atmosphere in the yamen was obviously different, with a dull and depressing atmosphere.
When Ye Wangchun died, the first thing to be held accountable was his guard armor; secondly, the local government office was guilty of inadvertent supervision.
This crime is not serious, but it is a stain. As the chief official, Chen Tang's political achievements will be affected to a certain extent and his promotion will be hindered.
But this is nothing to Chen Tang. He felt that if the other party really had to target him and create a murder case, then there must be follow-up measures.
Only one possibility is to blame. But such a method is very far-fetched. Unless the other party covers the sky in the entire Ningzhou officialdom, it will be difficult to do it. If it can really turn the world upside down, there is nothing to say.
Downtown!
Du Wangyun walked into the hall and gave a gift. His face was a little haggard. In the past few days, he led the constable, yamen runners and others to patrol around, working hard and under great pressure. He was the direct person in charge of the public security order in Nanfu County, and any case that occurred within his jurisdiction was linked to him.
"Sir, I still haven't noticed it."
Chen Tang nodded: "Thank you for your hard work in County Magistrate Du."
Du Wangyun couldn't help but say, "As far as I see, the master is most suspicious, and his words are contradictory. Why don't the lord take him down and conduct interrogation?"
Chen Tang asked: "Do you think it's easy to catch?"
"Why can't it be? He is just a scholar. He usually gains power, but he relies on the protection of Lord Ye. What else can he rely on when Lord Ye goes? Those soldiers? I can guarantee that as long as Lord Ye comes forward and has a tough attitude, they will never stop him."
Du Wangyun was a little confused. According to normal procedures, when encountering a murder case, he would definitely detain the suspect first, and then torture the confession to find out the truth.
Chen Tang said: "Catch it and torture it, but what if he can't help but bite it?"
Du Wangyun's face became a little ferocious: "When he arrived at the yamen, he was tortured and tortured in all kinds of ways. Even a man who was beaten up would be unable to withstand it. If he didn't believe it, he would not help it."
Chen Tang smiled: "If he suddenly dies while fighting, what should he do?"
Du Wangyun said aloofly: "Then say he committed suicide because of his crime."
Obviously, he has handled many such prison edicts and is very skilled.
Chen Tang narrowed his eyes: "Then you can close the case?"
"Not?"
Du Wangyun made a statement, took a step forward, and lowered his voice: "Sir, the situation is confusing now. Regardless of whether the master is the real murderer or not, putting the charges on him first can relieve the pressure on the yamen."
Chen Tang glanced at him: "But if the case is closed like this, what should we do if Ningzhou says we kill people and don't agree with this result?"
Du Wangyun was stunned: "What sir means is that someone will stand up for the master?"
The so-called lawsuits all focus on one principle: the people do not procure and the officials do not pursue them. Therefore, many things are powerful and can be suppressed by doing things at a cheap price. But if you encounter someone with background, things will not be so easy.
This truth is shameful, but it is all reality.
Du Wangyun's starting point is very simple, which is to hold the master, whether it is a slander or a stolen sheep, anyway, let the other party bear it. In this way, the case can be successfully solved and thus reduce the responsibility of the yamen.
If it is an ordinary murder case, such a skill may be a decisive solution.
But if there is someone behind the master, he is just instructing him to do things and kill him, what is the benefit of the whole thing?
The role of the master is just a clown who is used as cannon fodder. When he got along with Chen Tang, he kept provoking, hoping to be arrested in the yamen.
Du Wangyun thought for a while and asked, "Is it because of Lord Ye's death that someone was behind the scenes who rejected dissidents?"
Thinking of this, he was shocked. The struggle in the officialdom was really terrifying, and it would cause trouble if you were not careful.
Chen Tang said: "Who knows this? Anyway, in two days, it will be revealed to see who the state yamen will send."
Du Wangyunshen agreed: "Okay, let's stop moving for the time being and wait and see if the change is happening. Anyway, the master is locked up in the post station and cannot escape. Even if he dies, it has nothing to do with the yamen."
A few days passed by. On a sunny afternoon, a yamen runner came to report, "Sir, sir, the state yamen is here."
Chen Tang put down his pen and asked, "Where have you been?"
"I entered the city half a quarter of an hour ago and went straight to the inn."
The yamen runners wiped their sweat and gasped.
Chen Tang's eyes flashed: Such behaviors are so urgent... He asked immediately: "Do you know, which adult has come down?"
The yamen runner's face showed a strange look and replied: "It's Lord Huang."
"Huang Daozhi, Lord Huang?"
Chen Tang stood up suddenly.
The yamen runner nodded: "That's right."
Chen Tang suddenly laughed and said, "Let's go and welcome Lord Huang."
The post station was very lively. The first thing that caught my eye was a team of soldiers wearing strong and held sharp armor, with a total of 40 or 50 people. Each of them was quite majestic. The arrival of these new recruit armor immediately replaced the team of soldiers who guarded Ye Wangchun. The armor and weapons were confiscated, and they stood aside and were dejected.
Obviously, they will definitely be held accountable after they go back.
Ye Wangchun's body had long been neatly retracted and placed in a vermilion coffin. It will be sent back to the prefecture and the Ye family for burial.
The cause of his death is very clear, so there is no need to look through the body for the next interrogation. Moreover, after so many days, he cannot maintain his original appearance. Everything is based on the coroner's autopsy case file that day.
A tall man stood on the side of the coffin. He was covered in armor, a golden helmet on his head, and a long sword on his waist, majestic.
"Report to the Lord, the magistrate Chen of Nanfu County has arrived!"
A notice.
The man turned around and it was Huang Daozhi, whose beards were as bright as iron, and his eyes were shining. He laughed: "Mr. Chen, we are meeting again."
Chen Tang stepped forward and bowed: "It turns out that the mountains and rivers are not turning. Unexpectedly, Lord Huang was promoted but became an inspector."
Huang Daozhi grinned and said with a deep teeth: "My job is to go to Jiangzhou. Unexpectedly, something happened to Ye Xunzhang, and the prefectural yamen ordered me to go back to the county town to supervise the case."
Chen Tang's eyes flashed: "In this way, Ye Xunzhang died as a coincidence."
Huang Daozhi said: "Not? Then, Lord Chen, Ye Xunzhang was here to inspect your political achievements, but he died here as soon as he arrived in the city. What do you have to say?"
