"Miss Zhang, do you think what I said makes sense?"
Tong Zhen looked at Zhang Jiuer.
This is the result of his careful consideration, and it is also the reaction he received from the people after reading the weekly newspaper.
Human hearts are what the court needs.
Whatever the people resisted must also be resisted by the court.
Whatever the people want is what the court wants to work towards.
"That makes sense!"
Zhang Jiuer nodded, but she also had a trace of doubt, "What if there is a scholar who spreads the news and is retaliated against?"
"How do we keep them safe?"
Tong Zhen narrowed his eyes and said, "What awaits them is the guillotine of the imperial court!"
"After this case, if the perpetrator is severely punished, the county magistrate will definitely be promoted."
Zhang Jiuer felt that this new county magistrate was very unusual.
"Promotion is not my pursuit, Miss Zhang. Can you and I work together on this matter?"
Tong Zhen looked at Zhang Jiuer and said seriously: "You want justice for your friends, I want to clean up the yamen..."
"good!"
Zhang Jiuer agreed.
As long as it can help Lin Yi without causing trouble and pressure to Lin Yi.
She was willing to take action.
"Thank you, Miss Lao Zhang!" Tong Zhen said, cupping his fists.
"Farewell!"
Zhang Jiuer nodded and then left.
After she left.
Tong Zhen sat back on the chair and said: "I am a county magistrate, but I have been completely ignored. Good, good, I didn't expect it to be so dark under the emperor's feet..."
"I was originally worried about how to break through, but I didn't expect that this God-given opportunity would dare to violate the law within my jurisdiction, right? Cover them up one by one, right? Is it an excuse? Let's try the three fires of my appointment first!"
…
Soon after.
In Yongshan County, Xicheng.
Some literati were wandering around teahouses and restaurants, telling stories about what happened on the first day of the lunar new year.
Three female bachelors from private schools in Beijing celebrated in a restaurant in Yongshan County after watching the New Year's Eve party.
They were very happy. It was the first time they had experienced this kind of New Year's Eve party since they were young.
There is King Teng.
There is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
There is the touching "Female Consort".
There is a particularly nice "Huangmei Opera".
There is also "The Lonely Brave Man" where His Royal Highness expressed his gratitude to Dayan's ordinary heroes.
There is also "Beauty" that they will remember.
There is also the love between the actor and the prince in "Hua Li Xian"...
That was what they talked about in the restaurant, full of hope for the future.
But the devil came at this time.
Eight strong men who also left the party fell in love with the innocent girls.
He wanted to take them away by force and had evil intentions.
After being rejected, those scumbags became angry and almost killed three young girls who were full of hope for the future.
The three Ninth Grades are just a little more knowledgeable than ordinary people, but in the final analysis they are still thin mortal bodies.
Those eight people were tall and powerful, extremely cruel, and extremely ruthless in their attacks, without any mercy at all.
Later, someone reported it to the police, but the eight people who did it are still at large.
The news is brewing.
Distributing.
Later, a bachelor even copied the whole story on paper and spread it in Yongshan County.
This incident directly aroused public outrage, and many people took to the streets.
They surrounded the county government office.
Demand severe punishment for the perpetrators.
However, many people were sent by the county captain to directly arrest those who took the lead in making trouble.
Things got worse and worse.
And began to spread outside Yongshan County...
Yongshan County Yazhong.
County Lieutenant Yan Hao came to the government hall and said to County Magistrate Tong Zhen: "Your Majesty, eight people have been arrested and brought to justice. We can inform them by posting a notice, so as not to make things worse and damage the image of Yongshan County, which will also make us feel uncomfortable."
Tong Zhen frowned and said, "Have you been caught?"
He was a little surprised.
So fast?
"Bring the people up!"
Tong Zhen didn't quite believe that Yan Hao dared to catch them, even so quickly.
County Lieutenant Yan Hao waved his hand, and the eight people were brought to the government hall.
Tong Zhen just glanced at it, then slammed the desk and said angrily: "Yan Hao, what do you mean?"
He was shaking with anger.
The eight people Yan Hao said he captured were just other criminals in the county jail.
"What's wrong with the county magistrate? I've already settled the matter, so why are you still asking me what I mean?"
County Lieutenant Yan Hao took out several confessions from his arms and said, "Look, they have all been recruited. This is their confession. They have all confessed!"
"The top priority is to publish the list and calm down the anger of those unscrupulous people. If this matter spreads, it will be very detrimental to you."
County magistrate Tong Zhen said coldly: "When those people are arrested, I will sign and release the list to inform them."
"Tong Zhen, don't give me a toast or drink as a penalty. The big shots above have checked your qualifications. You have no background and no backing. Do you really think you can manage Yongshan County with your passion?"
Yan Hao also made his words clear directly, saying: "Put a notice to resolve this matter, and ten thousand taels of cash can be sent directly to your house."
"Behind me is the imperial court, and my backers are His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If you have the guts, just let it go. When I verify the identity of the ruthless criminals and sentence them to their crimes, I will issue a notice!"
Tong Zhen stared at Yan Hao coldly.
He just arrived.
There is no foundation, but this matter has a tendency to become a big problem, and he is even less likely to give up.
"Okay, then just wait!"
Yan Hao put down his harsh words, ordered the scapegoats to be taken away, and then left the county government office directly.
…
The next day.
Fusi, Beicheng Town.
During the Spring Festival, patrols in the capital were stricter than usual, so many households also personally led the patrols.
They took turns patrolling the city.
"I have given up hope...hey!"
Hua Baguang sighed, thinking that after finishing Zheng Yu's wedding and the party at Guanque Tower, his position would be changed.
Unexpectedly, I still haven't waited for the promotion order.
"But I was only promoted to 100 households last year. Even if I am promoted, it will still be 1,000 households...Am I overthinking it?"
Hua Baguang asked himself.
In addition to being lucky, he got to know Lin Yi well before Lin Yi became a prince.
There really isn't much else to do.
Get rid of distracting thoughts.
Hua Baguang took more than a dozen dragon guards and set out to patrol the streets.
A bun shop in front.
"Boss, please bring me some steamed buns."
Hua Baguang asked the brothers to sit down, and after paying the money, he also sat down.
"Sir, I have made you spend money again. Our brothers will pay you the money later."
A dragon guard said.
No wonder.
"yes!"
"Every time I patrol the streets, it's you who pays for it, and the brothers feel very sorry..."
The other dragon guards also spoke one after another, feeling particularly moved in their hearts.
Hua Baguang smiled and scolded: "Why don't you feel sorry? We are all brothers, so don't say such unreasonable things."
"How many taels of silver do you have in your monthly salary? Several people in the family need to eat. We are a household of 100, and we are alone. If one person is full and the whole family is not hungry, what is this expense?"
There is no shortage of money for spending money.
He can't spend all his monthly salary.
The biggest expense is sleeping with the courtesan, but it's not fun to do that too much.
"grown ups……"
More than ten dragon guards looked at Hua Baguang and were moved in their hearts.
"Eat, eat, eat, you're just chirping like a bitch, hurry up!" Hua Baguang scolded.
He looked at the other customers at the bun shop to see if there was anyone suspicious.
At this time.
He vaguely heard someone talking.
What are you talking about... Eight men in Yongshan County beat three women in public in the middle of the night, almost to death.
The Yamen didn't care, and the perpetrators are still at large.
