It's a new day. Li Yuan and Pei Ji have already studied Xu Yunyan's next journey.
But before the decree could be promulgated, Wai Lang, a member of the civil service department, once again knelt down in front of Li Yuan in the court hall.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me."
When Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, said these words, everyone present knew what he meant without saying anything more.
Xu Yunyan forced his niece and niece's son-in-law to death.
Li Yuan sighed as he looked at the official Wai Lang who was kneeling and crying in front of him.
"Zhao Wuji, it's not that I don't want to help you, but look at what your niece and son-in-law did. The magistrate did more ruthlessly than someone who robbed a house. What's more, don't you know that your niece and son-in-law committed suicide? Really? No one forced him."
"Your Majesty, this man has a double mouth. Doesn't everything he says come from his mouth?"
This official, Wai Lang, named Zhao Wuji, directly contradicted Li Yuan here, making Li Yuan very embarrassed, and Li Yuan looked at him and couldn't help but say it again.
"Even if it is what you said, the actual situation always requires evidence, right?"
“Yes, Your Majesty, you are right, no matter what the matter is, evidence is needed.
As the guard of Xuanwu Gate, Xu Yunyan led troops to rescue the disaster-stricken areas. This was a great achievement, and I have nothing to say.
But why did he lead troops to Hu County? Even if the Hu County magistrate was acting recklessly, it was not his turn as a general to deal with it. "
Zhao Wuji chewed on these words here and kept attacking Xu Yunyan. After he said these words, Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian were not at the scene. If they were at the scene, they would definitely attack Zhao Wuji in all directions. of violent beating.
Don’t the orders given by the two of them count?
Li Chengdao and Li Chengqian, who were always paying attention to the discussion about their master in the court in their own mansion, soon knew what Zhao Wuji said. They were so angry that they wanted to go forward and chop him twice.
And Li Yuan was a little bit embarrassed when he heard this.
How do you say this?
Before Li Yuan could say anything, Pei Ji came out of the queue, "Master Zhao, it seems that the soldiers from Hu County went to ask for help, right? A group of gangsters came out of Hu County. This group of gangsters are brave and good at fighting. Unless the official army comes forward, they can't do their best." , and the government soldiers are busy with the rescue, so they can’t use so much force. Xu Yunyan and other officers and soldiers happen to be here, isn’t it reasonable for them to come forward?”
After Pei Ji finished speaking, Zhao Wuji was still here saying "Pei Xiangguo..."
Pei Ji looked at Zhao Wuji.
"Mr. Zhao, if you have anything to say, feel free to say it."
Zhao Wuji started his performance directly, "Even so, but he allowed this soldier to enter the government office casually. Isn't this a provocation to the laws of the Tang Dynasty? What's more, there are only my niece and her maid in the backyard of the government office. No matter how he goes in like this, It doesn’t make sense!” “Isn’t this just to collect evidence?”
An official in the corner said this weakly, and Zhao Wuji smiled.
"Collecting evidence, it turns out that what the magistrate of Hu County did violated the laws of the Tang Dynasty, but the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and others have full authority to deal with it, so why let the general take action?
Isn't it possible that this general had to surrender to defeat? I heard that he called all the government officials together, surrounded them with soldiers, and told them to say whatever they said. Is this the way to get information? I think he is using lynching. "
No matter what you say, Xu Yunyan just doesn't care.
In this case, when Zhao Wuji wanted to continue talking, Li Yuan came forward.
"Then I will punish Xu Yunyan. This rescue was a great success. Although the method was inappropriate, everyone knows that it is a fact that the Hu County magistrate is corrupt and perverts the law."
After Li Yuan made the final decision, Zhao Wuji finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Xu Yunyan is dealt with, we will accept the rest.
While Zhao Wuji was thinking here, Li Yuan directly decided to "send an order to let Xu Yunyan go to the frontier to replace General Li and station in the frontier for a period of time, so that he can practice hard, and he also issued an order to reprimand and cut off the fiefdoms of hundreds of households." ."
When Li Yuan said this, everyone hurriedly shouted His Majesty's wisdom.
And Zhao Wuji was instantly surprised. What kind of punishment is this?
It is common for military generals to go out to garrison. Which general of the Sixteenth Guards does not take turns to garrison the border and garrison on the border?
It's just that your arrangement is just so-so, but deducting the fiefdom of hundreds of households is optional, right?
As for reprimand? Isn't it usually the case that it goes in the left ear and comes out the right ear?
Xu Yunyan's 300 households were deprived of 100 households. There wasn't much of a problem. Should he wait until he had the opportunity to reward him?
Just after Zhao Wuji thought about these situations clearly, he was trembling with anger. He didn't expect Xu Yunyan to be so deep into the emperor's heart in Li Yuan's heart!
And Xu Yunyan, who was continuing his career of solving cases in Hu County, finally ushered in the new county magistrate on a new day.
But unfortunately, this new restricted person turned out to be Wang Huan.
"Brother Wang Huan has been absent for a long time. I didn't expect that Brother Wang Huan would be able to serve as the county magistrate here. I am very happy and congratulated."
Xu Yunyan congratulated Wang Huan, and Wang Huan was also happy there.
"This is all thanks to Brother Xu Ying. If Brother Xu Ying hadn't taken action to solve the problem of Xiaoxiao here, I still don't know when I, the Hanlin in Beijing, would be able to be decentralized. Although it was only devolved to the county magistrate, for me, This is a great gift.”
Wang Huan said very beautifully, Xu Yunyan nodded, "Then I'll have to help you, brother Wang Huan. This place is different from other places. I also ask brother Wang Wan to work hard. He just solved the corrupt officials who were dominating, and don't show up again." Such a thing."
Wang Huan smiled, "Don't worry, Brother Xu, can't I be a county magistrate like Xu Guichang who is dedicated to the country's death? Am I still unable to be a loyal magistrate who fulfills his duties?"
If something goes wrong with me, I will wipe my own neck without you having to do anything, Brother Xu Ying. "
What Wang Huanran said was so sincere that Xu Yunyan couldn't help but step forward and pat him on the shoulder.
"Brother Wang is so self-sufficient that I can't help much.
As for Xu Guichang, don't worry. When you have the opportunity to go to the North, in a few years you can gather troops and defeat the Turks, and you will definitely avenge him for the destruction of Yanmen. "
Xu Yunyan and Wang Huan fell into silence for a while because of this topic. Just when they didn't know what to say, a horse came.
"The imperial edict has arrived! Zhongwu General Yunxian Bo and Xuanwu Gate Guard Xu Yunyan received the edict."
Everyone knew that Xu Yunyan was General Zhongwu, but they did not expect that he actually had a title. After calling out the words "Uncle Yunxian" along with the decree, the whole Hu County was boiling.
"Have you heard? General Xu, who helps us resolve the case and protect our rights, is a count!"
A street vendor with a loud mouth was talking loudly, while other people passing by him stopped in a hurry.
"What? General Xu is an earl? Is he the only one who has such a high official? We should congratulate General Xu. Such a good man should be a high official. Only when he becomes a high official can we live a good life! "
While people in Hu County are constantly celebrating that Xu Yunyan is a high official, and that this official is getting bigger and bigger, and their lives are getting better and better, those local powerful people from the world's rich families who have colluded with the Hu County Magistrate are... It was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
"What should I do?"
Some people are anxious, but some people are open-minded.
"A new county magistrate has come to Hu County, and it seems that he is inextricably linked to Xu Yunyan. We must drag him down no matter what to ensure our rights, otherwise we will plunder and occupy fertile land in Hu County. I can’t hide the matter anymore.”
These powerful locals from aristocratic families gathered in a teahouse. While sipping tea, they discussed how to lure Wang Huan into the water. After discussing the matter to a happy place, they couldn't help but think about using Wang Huan to attack Xu Yunyan.
So what if Xu Yunyan is an earl?
But just when they were sparing no effort and using any means to lure Wang Huan into trouble, the boy who was outside to inquire about the news knocked on the door of their room.
After the young man came in, he said something when he saw all the powerful, powerful, status and status ordinary people gathered here.
"Gentlemen, something bad is going on!"
What's going on?
It was a big deal, but it shocked everyone.
Could it be that Xu Yunyan is targeting me?
