When the maid Ping'er went to call Magistrate Sun, she had already briefly told him the matter.
Magistrate Sun was very happy.
Local forces such as County Lieutenant Wu, Chief Feng, and Xiahou Bo united together to eclipse him as an outside county magistrate.
Today we finally found a breakthrough. As long as we can bring down Xiahou Bo, the opponent's big sponsor, I believe the opponent's alliance will soon fall apart!
Only after arriving did I realize that there was an even bigger surprise waiting for me.
Not only was Xiahou Bo tied up, but Wu County Lieutenant and Chief Feng were also there.
What made Magistrate Sun ecstatic was that Lieutenant Wu, a die-hard member, seemed to be injured.
Once the injury is good and the ability to resist is lost, there is no need to worry about him jumping over the wall in a hurry!
Therefore, Magistrate Sun would not hesitate to risk the reputation of his precious daughter to completely defeat the interest groups of Lieutenant Wu and Chief Feng!
Now that he heard that Chief Feng was going to Dongping Mansion to sue him, County Magistrate Sun immediately became happy: "Chief Feng, I, Mr. Sun, have behaved upright and decently. You can go ahead and sue me, but I want to see if Shangguan is the right person." Believe me, I still believe you, a suspected criminal accomplice!”
"you……"
Chief Feng also knew that he alone could not defeat Magistrate Sun no matter what.
After all, he was born as a serious scholar in the imperial court. Although his ranking in the imperial examination was not very good, it was not comparable to him.
"Hmph, even if I'm a low-key person, I can't let you do whatever you want. If you insist on unjustly accusing Lieutenant Wu today, then arrest me too!"
Of course Magistrate Sun could not arrest Director Feng, nor could he arrest County Lieutenant Wu.
Qingyang County has a total of four serious court officials, namely the county magistrate, the county magistrate, the chief secretary, and the county captain.
The four officials were all directly appointed and removed by the imperial court. Not to mention County Magistrate Sun, the chief official of Dongping Mansion did not have the power to appoint or remove the county captain and chief registrar.
The reason why they are called imperial officials is because they are appointed by the imperial court, and local officials do not have this power at all.
However, although County Magistrate Sun does not have the power to appoint and remove the county captain and chief registrar, he does have jurisdiction and supervision over them. Once he discovers that these people have done something illegal, he only needs to report conclusive evidence and verify it from above. They can usually be taken down.
Seeing that Chief Feng still wanted to resist, Magistrate Sun smiled coldly: "Well, you can stay and watch carefully to see how I obtained the evidence, so that you can be convinced!"
After saying that, Magistrate Sun stopped talking to Chief Feng and turned to Yun Chao: "Yun Chao, I heard that you discovered Xia Houbo's illegal activities?"
Yun Chao rolled his eyes, "You still remember my brother's name?" He wrongly accused him of bullying your daughter, and thought you had amnesia!
Yun Chao had already seen through Magistrate Sun's intention. The old guy wanted to overthrow Magistrate Wu through what happened tonight.
Regardless of whether it is for others or for himself, Yun Chao is ready to cooperate with Magistrate Sun and strive to eradicate the cancer of Magistrate Wu.
"The county magistrate is indeed aware of everything. Xiahou Bo lost his conscience and listened to the bewitchments of monsters. He used the heart blood of young girls as a medicine. In the past three years, he killed countless innocent people, caused countless families to be separated, and their families were broken up. I don't know how many parents shed tears all day long. Washing my face, I feel so painful that I can’t bear to die. Humans and gods are angry, and God cannot tolerate it. Please ask the county magistrate to make the decision for the people of Qingyang County and eradicate this scourge!”
Magistrate Sun's eyelids twitched. He was already deceptive, but he didn't expect that Yun Chao was even more exaggerated than him.
Isn't it just a loss of a little girl, and the wife and children are separated, and the family is destroyed? If you say it is so outrageous, can the officials above believe it?
Well, Magistrate Sun wronged Yun Chao again.
Yun Chao really wasn't exaggerating the facts. In his mind, that was indeed what he thought.
In the era before he time traveled, if a family lost a child, regardless of gender, it would be a nightmare for the whole family.
For this reason, there are definitely not a few cases where wives and children are separated and families are destroyed.
However, the Wu Dynasty was different. The death rate of children was not generally high.
Especially girls, even if they do not die young, they are often given away by their parents, or even drowned.
Of course, these are all for poor families.
The girls that Wang Daoren asked Xiahou Bo to capture were all children of well-to-do families.
Children from poor families are too thin and weak, and the royal family doesn't like them. They also call them euphemistically because they have little moral character and poor fortune. The blessings contained in their blood are too little to be used as medicine primers.
"Ahem, Yun Chao, Xiahou Bo alone can't handle such a big case, right? Have you wronged a good person?"
This time it was Yun Chao's turn to twitch his eyelids.
The guy surnamed Sun is really a cunning old man. He just wants me to say that Xiahou Bo still has a protective umbrella.
Although he denounced Magistrate Sun as being unkind, Yun Chao still had to continue playing with him. After all, the two of them had the same purpose.
"The county magistrate is wise. Xiahoubo, a commoner, could not have done something so outrageous to people and gods without anyone noticing for so long. He must have a protective umbrella behind the scenes, and his flaws have been exposed. He is our Qingyang County magistrate. Lord Wei!"
As he said that, Yun Chao pointed at Wu County Lieutenant: "Wu County Lieutenant ignored that I had obtained the irrefutable evidence that Xiahou Bo murdered an innocent young girl. In full view of the public, he wanted to take me down indiscriminately and destroy the evidence. The County Magistrate can ask you People, let’s see if I’m lying!”
Magistrate Sun stroked his beard and felt very happy. It seemed that Yun Chao was very smart and knew what he wanted, so he directly led the conversation to the key point.
"Well, Hou Ting, is what Yun Chao said true?"
Hou Ting's calf muscles twisted.
He hid quickly and slowly, but he didn't expect that Magistrate Sun still saw him.
What should I say to myself?
You said Yun Er was wrong, Wu County Lieutenant didn't arrest him?
With so many people watching, it was clear that Wu County Lieutenant took action without any hesitation. He couldn't stop it!
"Lord County Magistrate, I don't know what the relationship is between the County Lieutenant and Xiahou Xiahou. I only know that because Yun Er... ahem, Deputy Inspector Yun had a quarrel with the County Lieutenant, so the County Lieutenant impulsively wanted to teach Yun a lesson. Deputy Inspector, I don’t know anything else..."
Before Hou Ting could finish speaking, Yun Chao laughed: "Hou Dutou, you may have forgotten one thing. In order to cover up the Xiahou family's evil deeds, your Ma Bantou wanted to kill me in public..."
Swish.
Hou Ting broke into a cold sweat.
"Ahem, Lord County Magistrate, I just remembered that the County Lieutenant did want to arrest Yun for inspection just now. Moreover, the County Lieutenant and Xiahou Bo have known each other for a long time, and they are even familiar with each other. They were drinking in his Feng Le Building just now. As for I don’t know if there is any shady thing going on between them!”
Hou Ting was ready to fight, and he could see that if he sided with Wu County Lieutenant today, Yun Er would be able to kill his accomplice who was Ma Bantou in one bite.
Moreover, if Magistrate Sun cannot bring down Lieutenant Wu, he will definitely vent his anger on himself. By then, Lieutenant Wu will be safe and sound, and he will definitely be the scapegoat!
