One person was anxious and confused; while the other person sat and drank several bowls of tea, as steady as a mountain.
"If you don't do it right, I'll kill you!" The officer couldn't bear it any longer, so he pulled out his sword and put it on Kou Zhong's back.
"grown ups!"
Kou Zhongzheng didn't know what to do and was trembling. He suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside and stepped on the ground, and he let out a sigh of relief.
The officer turned pale in panic, sheathed his sword, looked at the clerk who came in from the door and reported: "Prefect Lu asked you to go to the Yamen with evidence. The Lord Inspector has already been promoted to court."
"Okay, I'll come over right now." Ye Yongjia turned around and found the piles of documents under the cabinet in the study, handed them to the clerk, and then left together; leaving the officer staring with anger in his heart, but unable to vent it.
"Master Inspector, Master Magistrate, the evidence has been brought."
Ye Yongjia stood outside the yamen, and the inspector, Lu Deguang, and Yuan Lun beside him were all watching him.
"Ye Tongzhi, is there anything you can prove?" Lu Deguang asked on behalf of the inspector.
"You can just say that Yuan Lun sent an assassin to kill Chen Shuban." Ye Yongjia walked in and said.
"There is no evidence that the assassin was sent by me. What if someone has a feud with Chen Shuban." Yuan Lun was not convinced and defended.
"Captain Yuan, don't speak in a hurry," Ye Yongjia took an earth-yellow bag from the clerk's hand, untied it, and slowly took out a dagger. Yuan Lun was shocked and secretly cursed the assassin in his heart, but there was no way to arrest him now, he was just venting his anger.
"It says 'Dagger of Yuan Lun, Governor of Chenzhou', please read it clearly." He showed the dagger to Lu Deguang, and Lu Deguang handed it over for inspection, and it was confirmed.
"Okay. What do you think is the grudge between me and Chen Shuban?" Yuan Lun was a little more energetic.
"You wrote a letter to that colleague from back then, asking him to transfer Secretary Chen to the office of preparation, but?" Ye Yongjia took out a document and asked.
Yuan Lun squinted his eyes and took a look. Zhang was the same as Zhigai and had nothing to do with him. If he insisted on it, the case would be lost. However, he thought that by pleading guilty to avoid the serious crime of murder, he confessed: "I got him a job, and I admit that. But since I worked for his benefit, it means that we are of the same mind, so why kill him?"
Seeing that he had fallen into the trap, Ye Yongjia continued: "Chen Shuli was later accused of strangling Wang Boyi."
"How about this?"
"He went to jail for this." Ye Yongjia said, "Then he wrote a complaint and submitted it to the province, accusing you of instigating the murder. Then you cut the letter and we never saw it again; that day In the evening, Secretary Chen died in prison, and the assassin left the dagger."
"This..." Yuan Lun was silent with beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Since the Governor didn't order Chen Shuban to kill someone, why did he send an assassin to do it? Governor Yuan committed two lives!"
For Yuan Lun, these words were like a bolt from the blue. He was stunned for a long time, unable to utter another word, and looked at Ye Yongjia blankly.
"Sir..." Lu Deguang looked at him with pleading eyes.
"The evidence is conclusive and the suspect has nothing to say. The case can be closed," Yincha said.
"Okay!" Lu Deguang's eyes suddenly became fierce, "Catch the criminal Yuan Lun and send him to the cell temporarily!"
The officials on both sides immediately took action, but Yuan Lun pushed away the others and roared at Lu Deguang: "Lu Deguang, you are not a fucking thing! Sir, you have seen clearly, this man is ambitious and has evil intentions, and he will definitely become a serious problem for the court!"
"Get down!"
As soon as Lu Deguang spoke, the government officials were no longer soft-hearted. They took off his official uniform and dragged Yuan Lun down to the hall, but they could still hear his screams.
Lu Deguang turned a deaf ear and asked for instructions: "How should Yuan Lun deal with it?"
"First of all, he will be dismissed from his post and detained in the death row. He will wait until the prosecutor reports back to the governor before he is convicted."
Lu Deguang immediately ordered to go down.
"Master Ancha, are you still here to rest for a while?"
"No, this matter is urgent, I'd better return to Kaifeng first."
The inspector packed up the files, said goodbye to the prefect, and left in a car. A few days later, the inspector returned to Kaifeng and submitted the case files to the governor. The governor looked at it and found all the evidence, so he reported it to the imperial court and asked Zhongshu Sheng to make a ruling. Governor Fang thought that Yuan Lun was a member of Liu's party, so he proposed in the memorial that "only Lun be deposed and restored to his native place without shackles" to prevent Liu Zhennian from being blamed.
After the Zhongshu meeting, the emperor quickly issued a decree, instructing Lu Deguang to pardon Yuan Lun and send him back to his hometown. Although Lu Deguang was reluctant, he had to do it. However, he listened to Li Yong's advice and informed Yuan Lun of the official post where he was passing by to arrange wine and food, and to hide poison in them, in an effort to eradicate the root cause.
On the other hand, Magistrate Lu sent fellow magistrate Ye Yongjia to arrest Yuan Lun's gang members to pave the way for him to take power. Ye Yongjia got the news and led the soldiers from the Inspection Department to the Governor's Hall first.
He arranged more than ten teams of soldiers outside the hall, all holding bows and pointing arrows steadily into the hall; he personally led a few soldiers and held ropes to go in and catch people.
First, an officer was arrested, the one who had put the sword on Ye Yongjia's neck.
"This man is Yuan Lun's personal soldier. He is domineering and should be beheaded." A soldier said.
Ye Yongjia only looked at him once, and then ordered his servants: "Pull him to the street first, and chop him up together later!"
Several people pushed the officer out.
"This is also a member of Yuan Lun's party."
Ye Yongjia looked up and saw an officer with deep eyes and a long beard standing in front of him.
"I don't know him. I don't know what he has done." Ye Yongjia shook his head and said.
"He and Magistrate Zhao..."
"Then it has nothing to do with Yuan Lun."
"How can you say that, Lord Tongzhi?" Ye Yongjia turned around and saw that it was Professor Zhao. He usually had a sinister look on his face, but now he was looking at him with a sinister eye. "I said he is, isn't he?"
"I want to hear this person's story." Ye Yongjia was a little rude.
"Why?"
"I am a fellow magistrate. You are the county magistrate, so I have the right to ask you." Ye Yongjia turned around and said calmly.
"Bullshit magistrate! I am the governor of Chenzhou Prefecture!" Professor Zhao pointed at the entire governor's office with his eyes widened, "This place belongs to me! Of course the magistrate has no right to question me!"
Ye Yongjia was stunned. He didn't know when Professor Zhao became the governor, so he remained silent now. He later learned that Lu Deguang had transferred this relative to the capital overnight in order to consolidate his power; and only later did he realize that this officer had just failed to pay a sling of money to Magistrate Zhao.
"Detain him." Ye Yongjia had no other right but to surrender his hands and obey orders.
Zhao Shoofang sneered proudly.
Many more people were arrested, including countless who were trapped by Zhao Shou.
They were held in the market, lined up in rows, like a herd of cattle and sheep, while wolves were killing them; they all lost their appearance as human beings.
