Especially Li Guanhua, who came to help the Anxi County magistrate arrest people despite the risk of not having a transfer order.
Once the charges against these people are not confirmed, people sent by the state government come to disrupt the situation.
Then all their early hard work will be in vain.
And not only that, Li Guanhua will also be accused of leaving his own jurisdiction without permission. Even if the people in the state capital are more sinister, he may also be accused of conspiracy. If he is characterized in this way, then they are completely I can't explain why.
And not only is there the risk of losing one's official position, but in a serious case, a large number of people may be implicated, and nine clans may die.
Because of this, Li Guanhua was still a little worried.
It was indeed getting late at this time.
I really can't figure out the reason if I continue to grind here.
Therefore, the Anxi County Magistrate could only say, "Retreat."
After receiving the order to withdraw from the hall, not to mention the officials below, even the master couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
However, just before the four people were escorted away, a group of uninvited guests quickly arrived at the gate of the county government office.
The leader is the inspector from Anxi, and the person beside the inspector is the steward Wang who promised Li Guanhua to go to Xu Yong. Behind them are only the soldiers from the state government's Yamen.
When he saw the inspector, let alone the Anxi County magistrate, even Li Guanhua was shocked.
Although they knew that the Anxi Prefecture would know what they were doing sooner or later, they did not expect that it would be known so soon. ..
In the Anxi County Magistrate's expectation, it would take two or three days for the Anxi Prefecture to know what was happening on their side.
But he never expected that this group of people would come so quickly.
However, when Li Guanhua saw Wang Zheng behind the inspector, he quickly understood what was going on. After all, it was his negligence.
When he went to arrest him that day, he thought they had detained Xu Yong, so he arranged for someone to find Xu Yong. Manager Wang was the one who took them to Zhuangzi to find Xu Yong.
Although Xu Zhilan later wrote a letter on horseback, telling him that Xu Yong was not in Zhuangzi at all, he also forgot to ask someone to capture the steward together, and hurried to Anxi County.
What he was thinking at the time was that there was only one person in charge, and he had six people under his command. No matter what, his side had the advantage, and if they didn't find Xu Yong, they would probably escort them back.
But now that I think about it, these six people did not return to the team at all. Now it seems that Wang Zheng went to the state capital when he was rushing to Anxi County.
Although the state capital is farther away than the county seat.
But they really wasted too much time on this matter.
Now it seems that the situation on my side is mostly in danger.
And they have clearly fallen into the most difficult situation.
The inspector came in a hurry and said nothing nonsense. He immediately motioned to the people around him to arrest Li Guanhua and the Anxi County Magistrate first.
At this time, no one in the hall had left the place, and they were watching the county magistrate who was judging others majesticly just now being detained together with Li Guanhua.
The yamen below and the master above were still a little dumbfounded.
The master could barely recognize that this was a soldier from the state capital. He walked over quickly, looked at the inspector with a smile and said, "Sir, what is going on with you? Did we make any mistake? Why did you... "
However, before the master had even finished speaking, Anxi, the inspector, said, "Caught."
The arrogance of his actions and the swiftness of his movements only made everyone feel sad.
After controlling everyone in the hall, the inspector asked the Anxi County Magistrate, "Where did the person who was interrogated just now go?"
The Anxi County magistrate naturally refused to answer, and the inspector was too lazy to talk nonsense. He immediately asked his soldiers to go to the prison to look for the person.
And the actions of these soldiers were not bad, and they quickly brought the people up.
However, the person brought here this time made everyone present dumbfounded.
The guards brought up only one person, and that person was a woman. The woman had disheveled hair and looked embarrassed.
Even so, everyone could see that they were arresting Xu Zhilan.
As soon as he saw Xu Zhilan, he was arrested.
Li Guanhua, who had been detained honestly, immediately began to struggle.
This is General Xu's daughter. It doesn't matter if something happens to him, but he can't let anything happen to her.
However, when he was about to rescue Xu Zhilan, Xu Zhilan suddenly glanced at him.
The inspector looked coldly at the soldiers below and said, "Who are you arresting?"
The soldier replied in a low voice, "We met this woman on the way to the South Prison. We also asked the government officials who detained her just now. Both officials said that this woman was the person they were interrogating just now."
Hearing this, the inspector suddenly became filled with doubts.
However, the Anxi County Magistrate was the first to react, "Sir, we were interrogating this woman just now. I wonder if you have anything to advise me?"
However, the inspector paid no attention to the Anxi County Magistrate. He only said coldly, "You continue to search for me! Search all of Nan Prison."
After receiving the order, the state soldiers said yes and left quickly.
The prosecutor then asked the crowd watching this dramatic scene at the door, "Is this the woman you just interrogated?"
The person in question nodded.
The inspector then asked again, "What crime did this woman commit?"
The man immediately blurted out, "She smashed the guest's head. This is the case that the master is trying."
Hearing what the man said, the inspector's eyes suddenly started to look a little doubtful.
After all, it was really hard for him to imagine that it was already dark at this time, and most of the people who were actually watching the case had actually gone home to eat.
The people standing outside watching were naturally the people from Lulin Village. After seeing Xu Zhilan pretending to be a criminal, how could this group of people expose her, especially when he asked Chen Ke, and Chen Ke would naturally not expose her. She did.
When the inspector couldn't find out why, he just waited where he was. Fortunately, he didn't wait long before the soldiers from the state capital came back.
However, in prison, they found nothing about what they were looking for.
For a moment, even the inspector almost thought that Wang Zheng was teasing him.
How could Wang Zheng not see what the other party was thinking? He immediately explained loudly, "My lord, I saw with my own eyes that this lord took the old man away! If you don't believe it, you can go to Anxi Town and have a look."
The inspector didn't say anything immediately. He finally walked towards Li Guanhua and said, "Aren't you calling for the stream? Why did you come to Anxi County without permission?"
Upon hearing this, Li Guanhua immediately said, "Magistrate Yang and I are new friends. After my patrol, I stopped by to see my friend. Doesn't this also offend something?"
"Since you're just here to see your friends, why are you in this courtroom?"
"Can't I wait until he gets off work? Isn't it against the rules for me to hear the trial?" Li Guanhua continued.
These words choked the inspector for a moment. After all, what he said was illegal at best, but it was completely impossible to impose any punishment.
Li Guanhua then asked, "Sir, I would like to ask you, I wonder what mistake County Magistrate Yang and I have made, and you want to detain us like this! Even if we die, at least it should be something we have committed."
At this time, even County Magistrate Yang began to cry out his grievances: "Sir, even if the officials really committed something, you should tell us what we committed, right? Instead of just arresting us, right?" "
For a moment, the inspector was really undecided.
However, he knew that what these two people said was not wrong, so he only walked up to them. He only said to Magistrate Yang first, "Someone reported that you abused lynching, arrested innocent people, and avenged public and private revenge."
Then he walked up to Li Guanhua and said, "As for you, they said that you sent troops to capture others without permission, with the intention of treason."
Sure enough, he couldn't avoid these two things, but perhaps Li Guanhua should be lucky that when he captured this group of people at the Yamen of Anxi County, he immediately ordered most of the soldiers to do so under Xu Zhilan's reminder. Immediately rushed back to the original Huanxi.
Although they may not have rushed back to Huanxi now, at least they are not in Anxi County at the moment.
Therefore, Li Guanhua immediately said loudly, "Your Excellency, you are wronged. I am just a visiting friend, but I only brought a few soldiers with me. How can I become a rebel? I am afraid that these three or four soldiers will still be killed."
It's not enough for someone else to drink a pot. "
Li Guanhua's cry of injustice was immediately confirmed by the Anxi County Magistrate.
"Yes, sir, Master Li is here to find friends. I can testify to this. How could the two or three people he brought with him plot rebellion!"
The Anxi Inspector obviously did not expect such a situation at the moment.
He originally thought that it would be simple to go through the procedures, but who knew that these two people would block all procedures. Therefore, he really didn't know what to do for a while.
However, Wang Zheng immediately said to the other party, "Sir, our master was really captured by them. The soldiers brought by Mr. Li at that time were no less than a hundred people. They must have known in advance that we were coming." , so we got all the people away in advance.”
"If we had known in advance that we would be so slandered, why would we have waited here to be slandered by you? Besides, you keep saying that I have hundreds of people, but I want to ask you how you can prove that I brought people here. You know You should have seen that there are only two or three people around me. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to check! Send someone to find my soldiers. If my soldiers are found in Anxi County, I will voluntarily sacrifice my head!"
Li Guanhua obviously didn't learn anything else during the trial just now, but he did learn one thing. That is to dump the blame in advance, and whoever raises the issue will prove it.
And it is obviously difficult to self-prove this kind of thing when you are prepared for it.
And even if you can prove something on your own, it will take time.
Therefore, his question really stopped Wang Zheng. He was about to say that the female relatives in his master's house could testify.
But soon he apparently realized that he had almost fallen into their trap.
Wang Zheng is not from here, and naturally he will not follow the rules here. He only said sternly, "Sir, it is Master Ke's order to arrest these two."
