Anyang County Sheriff's move really exceeded everyone's expectations.
Xu Mo was stunned for a long time and couldn't recover. The master slapped him in the face and said, "Hurry up and follow."
He woke up from a dream and took his younger brothers and sisters to follow the Sheriff's team.
Passing by the inn, Zheng Ruqian took Pang Pang down to the donkey cart and loaded up all the bacon and Jiang Sheng's small items.
In the carriage.
Xu Mo was still a little dazed. He lifted up the curtains and looked at the horse-drawn carriage in front of him. He couldn't help but murmur, "It's unheard of for a county governor to go down to the county seat to handle a case."
Chang Yan pursed his lips, "It's not like there's nothing, it's just that it can't be recorded."
The county guard himself is the immediate superior of the county magistrate, and he is supposed to be able to summon the county magistrate into the capital for interrogation.
However, the journey from Anshui County to Xieyang County takes at least five days, and the return trip takes at least ten days.
If we call for personal evidence or obtain physical evidence during this period, it will be the New Year after a case is tried.
But Xu Mo couldn't wait.
The people of Xieyang County can't wait any longer.
According to Zheng Ruqian, in April Xieyang County magistrate took the initiative to close the "no tax for delivery into the city" rule. All merchants coming and going must pay 5% of the value of the goods as tax.
Originally, there were not many big businessmen in Xieyang County, and most of them earned some hard-earned money. Once the 5% tax was paid, the net profit would drop a lot.
Coupled with the two hundred cash stall fee and severe punishment for selling items privately, the people of Xianyang have already complained.
The reason why Anshui County Governor came to Xieyang County in person was because he loved the people like his own children and did not want the people to suffer unreasonable suffering.
Xu Mo's heart finally returned to his stomach.
He raised his head slightly, looked at the sky, and murmured in his heart, "Father, mother, have you seen this? The child will be avenged for you."
Early May.
The six brothers and sisters, who had been away from the county town for two full months, finally set foot on this land again.
Feeling the warm wind and breathing the sweet air, Xu Mo raised the corners of his mouth.
However, the Anshui County Sheriff in front was not so comfortable. After all, he was in his forties and had been traveling long distances for several days. He almost lost his body and his feet fell to the ground as if they were stepping on cotton.
Xu Mo was perplexed and immediately stepped forward to hold his hand, "Sir, the students have a small courtyard where adults can rest."
Sheriff Anshui pondered for a moment.
Although they hid their identities when they entered the city, the Xieyang County Magistrate was not a fool, so a large number of elites entering the city would definitely be aware of it.
Instead of waiting for the Xianyang County Magistrate to find out something was wrong and be prepared, it would be better for Lei Lei to take action and control the situation first.
"Let's go to the county office."
Anshui County Sheriff put his hands behind his back and walked forward step by step.
Xu Mo saw it, and the tip of his nose was slightly sour.
There are always people who are curious, is it true that someone would die suddenly from exhaustion because of working hard on other people's affairs?
Anshui County Sheriff answered personally: It really does.
He could obviously rest, but for the sake of Xu Mo and the truth, he still handled the case as soon as possible.
The county government in Xieyang County is facing a drum of injustice.
Anshui County Sheriff stopped, glanced at the attendant ten feet away, and called out, "Lao Yuan."
Yuan Yamen, who had cared about Xu Mo before, immediately came out and knocked on the door.
Soon the door opened, but only his head poked out. Seeing Yuan Yamen's face, he scolded him coldly, "What are you doing? Why are you banging on the door in broad daylight?"
Yuan Yamen almost laughed angrily, "This is the county government. It is a place for people to complain. You are not allowed to knock on the door. What do you want to do with the door!"
The man didn't expect that this man would dare to fight against him. He came out angrily, rolled up his sleeves and said, "It's not a case of grievance. You can make a grievance."
Yuan Yamen had no choice but to pick up two sledgehammers and "dong dong dong" and knocked three times.
"Is this okay?"
But who would have expected that the person who opened the door turned around and entered the county government office, and immediately locked the door bolt.
He only raised his voice through the door, "The magistrate is not feeling well and cannot go to court for the time being. The trial will be adjourned to a later date."
Sheriff Anshui laughed angrily.
Fortunately, he did not ask the government officials to follow him, but stood at the gate of the county government office with Yuan Yamen alone.
Otherwise, we would not be able to see such a cruel current situation and such a powerful face.
"What a wonderful Xieyang County Magistrate, what a wonderful Xieyang County." Anshui County Sheriff took a breath and clapped his hands lightly.
Dozens of yamen officers stepped forward in order, led by yamen officer Yuan, and violently kicked at the gate of the county yamen office.
In the blink of an eye, the door that had been closed mercilessly just now fell straight down.
The lax government officials inside were startled, and were about to jump up and scold them.
Seeing the dozens of upright and mighty government officials behind the Anshui County Sheriff, he was so frightened that he shut his mouth and fled in all directions.
Anshui County Sheriff sat on the main seat with a cold face, a bright mirror hanging above his head, and his feet stepping on the shocking case.
Yuan Yamen led the team into the backyard and captured the Xieyang County magistrate and his wife who were resting.
"Bold Xieyang County Magistrate!"
As soon as the scaffolding was struck, the trial began.
At first, the people just poked their heads out curiously. When they found out that the person on trial was actually the parents of Xieyang County, they were all surprised and rushed to tell each other.
Not long after, people were crowded in front of Yuegugu.
As a little girl, Jiang Sheng would lose her head if she was squeezed, but for the sake of her elder brother, she still stayed on the front line of the county government office without hesitation.
At first, the Xieyang County Magistrate was a little confused and tried to communicate with the Anshui County Magistrate about their friendship.
When Xu Mo stood in the center of the lobby, his expression finally changed.
"Today, Xu Xiucai accused Xieyang County Magistrate of murdering Xu County Magistrate and his wife. I came to Xieyang County in person to find out the truth." Anshui County Sheriff patted the gavel again, which made everyone in the hall tremble, "Xieyang County Magistrate, Do you have anything to say?"
Yes, of course there is.
The Xieyang County Magistrate had a look of surprise on his face, but his tone was decisive, "My lord, these are all slanders and false accusations. How could such a low-ranking official do something like this? It was clearly Magistrate Xu who had embezzled finances and could not bear the humiliation after being sentenced." Died by suicide."
He knelt down on one knee, flicked off his official robe, and said, "Please tell me, sir!"
When faced with a crime, the first thing anyone would do is not to admit guilt, but to try to excuse themselves and get away with it.
Anshui County Sheriff was not surprised. He looked at Xu Mo and said, "Submit physical evidence."
The physical evidence is very simple. It is the account book left by County Magistrate Xu’s former accountant, which is enough to prove that Magistrate Xu has been honest in his life and has never taken corruption or bribery.
The witness was Fang Heng and Zheng Ruqian, who quickly went to the dilapidated temple in the west of the city and picked up the master's wife.
Although Mrs. Shiye was sober and confused at times, when she knelt down in the hall, she mistakenly thought that the person under the plaque was County Magistrate Xu, and actually burst into tears in the hall, "Sir, it is I and my wife who are sorry for you, it is I who accepted Zhu Zhi The good thing about a villain is that I feel sorry for you, but the evidence of corruption and bribery is all fabricated."
"You poisonous woman!" Xieyang County Magistrate spit out anger and stood up to take action.
The master's wife was startled and suddenly screamed, "Evil man, evil man, Zhu Zhi, you will not die well."
The name of Xieyang County Magistrate is Zhu Zhi.
Everything seemed to be clear, so Xu Mo took the opportunity to sue the county magistrate's wife for hiring a murderer.
The evidence was very simple. The long blue knife that Fang Heng had snatched was the physical evidence. He then brought the maid who had long been shaken to a sieve, and with a slap in the face, she was ready to attack.
The county magistrate's wife was convicted that day.
But when it came to the county magistrate Zhu Zhi, he refused to admit his death and complained about injustice.
No matter what moves Anshui County Sheriff used, whether it was a plank or a criminal law, Zhu Zhi just refused to admit it.
There is no choice but to be detained in a cell for the time being.
That day, at an unknown moment, the master beside Zhu Zhi secretly rode a carriage and headed straight for Anshui County.
It seems that they have called for reinforcements.
