Magistrate Zheng was also well aware of the terror of Japanese pirates, and immediately said to Zhang Ren: "Don't worry, I will have people issue arrest warrants. As long as they are from outside the county, they will be carefully interrogated and interrogated. Fortunately, Muping County is not a big city. I believe that Little Inutaro will be caught soon!"
Zhang Ren nodded and said: "By the way, the Japanese pirates ran on horses. It is easy for others to hide, but it is difficult for horses to hide. Without any further delay, we will immediately conduct a citywide search. If there is anything wrong, Please cooperate with me, Mr. Zheng."
After saying this, Zhang Ren and Liu Erbing walked outside the county government office, but they were stopped by Magistrate Zheng after they had just taken two steps: "I have something else I want to ask your superior to tell me."
Zhang Ren stopped, turned around and said, "Master Zheng, it doesn't matter if you say so."
I heard County Magistrate Zheng say, "That's it. The Zhang family kid that your Excellency asked to be escorted is still in prison. I don't know what to do with him."
In the eyes of County Magistrate Zheng, Zhang Ye was a member of the Zhang family. He had Zhang Ye sent to prison without explaining what crime Zhang Ye had committed. It was probably because the two of them had some conflicts and took the opportunity to suppress Zhang Ye. .
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ye said: "Zhang Ye beat the court officials and publicly insulted the court. In addition, I estimate that he has committed many crimes. Your county government should also investigate it carefully, and then just deal with it according to the law." .”
This time, Magistrate Zheng couldn't stand it. He looked up at Zhang Ren and asked in a low voice: "My lord, are you really a descendant of the Zhang family?"
Zhang Ren nodded: "It will be replaced if it is fake."
Magistrate Zheng asked uncertainly: "Sir, do you really intend to punish Zhang Noi severely?"
Zhang Ren nodded again: "I'm not kidding. Not only Zhang Ren, but also the entire Zhang family must be investigated. Mr. Zheng, as the parent of this place, must know more than me how many bad things the Zhang family has done, but the Zhang family has never been Take legal action."
Magistrate Zheng is in a dilemma. He considers himself a good official. Why doesn't he want to give the people a clear sky? However, the Zhang family has deep roots in Muping County and is a noble family. In several struggles, Magistrate Zheng was After being defeated, even if he wrote to Dengzhou Prefecture to inform him, the news fell silent without any reply.
But now that Zhang Ren is here, it's the Zhang family themselves. Magistrate Zheng really doesn't know which song they are singing, so he can only plead guilty: "It's all because of the poor performance of the lower officials."
County Magistrate Zheng thinks about it, you are all a family anyway, even if you are unhappy today, maybe you will wear another pair of pants tomorrow, then you won't be the unlucky one? Now that I have taken the blame for the crime, there is really no other way.
Zhang Ren seemed to have seen what Magistrate Zheng was thinking. He shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Zheng, when the Japanese pirates came, you were able to risk your life and lead the people to resist the Japanese pirates. So your character is my best." Believe it or not, you are not to blame for the fact that the Zhang family has been happy so far. But today I am here and I ask Mr. Zheng to believe that although I am a member of the Zhang family, I am also a royal guard and a Ming Dynasty person. In the future, if the Zhang family commits crimes, you Whatever is judged shall be judged.”
Magistrate Zheng is quite old and has been involved in the officialdom for many years. He knows the stakes in this officialdom better than anyone else.
Magistrate Zheng did not rush to express his position, but just looked directly into Zhang Ren's eyes. He wanted to see clearly whether Zhang Ren's words were true or false.
….
It's just that he couldn't figure out the reason after looking at it for a long time.
Finally, Liu Erbing, who was standing by, said, "Mr. Zheng, you are really timid. How can we, the Jinyiwei, trick you? As for the Zhang family, you just need to be confident and bold. I should be staying in Muping County for quite some time." , if you have any problems, of course I will support you!"
Liu Erbing's words are not bad. If Jin Yiwei wants to trick anyone, he will never trick him. Instead, he will directly list a set of charges and arrest him for questioning.
But even though Liu Erbing said so, Magistrate Zheng still couldn't really believe them.
Seeing that Magistrate Zheng didn't say anything, Zhang Ren said directly: "Did Mr. Zheng ever think about what kind of official he wanted to be when he first became an official?"
This question directly went into the heart of Magistrate Zheng. Twenty years ago, Magistrate Zheng was a poor scholar, but he had great ambitions. At the moment when the Jinshi list was released, he saw that he was on the list, and he felt very happy in his heart. It was full of great pride, but now twenty years have passed
In the past, the ambitious and poor scholar has grown old. Time has added endless wrinkles to his face, and time has smoothed away all the original edges and corners.
But every time he thinks of himself standing at the bottom of the list twenty years ago, Magistrate Zheng's pride is still indelible.
He cupped his hands towards Zhang Ren and said, "When I learned that I was in high school, I thought in my heart that I must be a good official who reports to the imperial court for the peace and prosperity of the people."
Seeing Magistrate Zheng say these words solemnly, Zhang Ren also solemnly bowed his hands to him: "I hope Master Zheng will not change his original intention!"
Just one sentence seemed to rekindle Magistrate Zheng's pride. He looked at Zhang Ren, took a deep breath, and finally said: "Okay! My family has settled down in my hometown! Today I will trust you for once , I will definitely get to the bottom of the Zhang family’s illegal activities!”
Magistrate Zheng wanted to be an official, but he had wasted twenty years in mediocrity. The reason why he agreed to investigate the Zhang family today was not because he trusted Zhang Ren, but because he did not want to leave any regrets in his life. You must also give an account of the justice in your heart.
Zhang Ren bowed and saluted Magistrate Zheng: "I would like to thank Master Zheng on behalf of the Zhang family. If one day the children of the Zhang family can avoid doing illegal things and want to walk in the sun openly, it must be the credit of Master Zheng." .”
Magistrate Zheng smiled and shook his head, feeling that Zhang Ren's brain circuit was different from that of ordinary people.
The affairs of the Zhang family were now settled, and Zhang Ren took Liu Erbing out of the county office. Now, they were going to start a city-wide search for Little Inu Taro.
…
Since the last time he finished his credit business in Jinling City, Zhao Shannan has visited many places. He also just returned to Muping County today. It was a coincidence that he met Japanese pirates just after returning. He had not used his martial arts for a long time and fought. When I came down, I felt extremely happy inside.
This was also the period during which Zhao Shannan was not in Muping County. Otherwise, with his martial arts skills, the Japanese pirates would not have been rampant here.
In addition to his identity as the leader of the gangsters, Zhao Shannan also has another extremely secret identity. Not many people know about this identity, and Luo Kedi is one of them. It is precisely because of this identity that Luo Kedi originally Only then did he feel that Zhao Shannan was a dangerous person, so he went to see Zhao Shannan in person.
It is also because of this important identity that Zhao Shannan is destined not to have much freedom. This time it is rare for him to go out and have fun, and he must always remember the other people in the family.
Night rivers and lakes.
