Gong begets enlightenment, integrity begets authority.
A huge plaque was hung in the county government hall. Li Xuan sat in the original seat of the county magistrate, looking at everyone present with a cold face.
Dongyang County's Prime Minister Gu Tan, County Lieutenant Kang Yao, Chief Secretary Li Dingyi, Si Hu, Si Bing, Si Cang, Judiciary, Si Gong, and Si Shi Liucao joined the army. They all stood respectfully under him and stood in silence.
The other police officers were not even qualified to stand in court, and they did not even dare to take a peek.
Li Xuan's eyes fell on the three boxes in front of him. These three boxes contained the official seal of the Wuzhou governor, the seal of the Wuzhou governor, and the official seal of the Dongyang County magistrate.
This is now the highest authority in Dongyang.
"Actually, if Magistrate Huang had not been ill, it would not have been my turn to take over here, but you all should be aware of the current situation."
Li Xuan's eyes lifted from the three official boxes and fell on the county magistrate Gu Tan, the county lieutenant Kang Yao and the chief registrar Li Dingyi.
The expressions of the three people suddenly became serious.
Two months ago, the governor of Wuzhou, Wang Fanglin, was assassinated in the state capital. Wang Fanglin was seriously injured and Chang Shi died on the spot. Only Sima escaped by chance.
Huang Jin, the magistrate of Dongyang County, and the magistrate of Jinhua County were unfortunately involved and were also seriously injured.
A month ago, the Yuezhou Governor's Mansion, the Wuzhou Governor's Mansion, and even the Hangzhou Governor's Mansion all sent people to check the price changes of grain, salt, silk and tea in Dongyang. Only then did they discover that the price of grain had risen to a warning level, while the price of silk The price dropped strangely.
This unusual situation immediately aroused everyone's vigilance.
Just a few days ago, Hao Yuan, a soldier from Dongyang Sihu who joined the army, died inexplicably at his residence, which shocked everyone.
It was not until Huang Ziming, a member of the judicial army, gave the final result that Hao Yuan died of illness and had nothing to do with anyone else, did everyone heave a sigh of relief.
But Li Xuan suddenly arrived today and told them that Hao Yuan was murdered. He even suspended his judicial duties as a judicial officer and joined the army on the spot. Although he was allowed to continue his duties as an official and an official, he felt like he was being hanged. It's like being in mid-air, up and down.
Although Li Xuan has not said anything about the Tianyin Sect until now, everyone knows that the root of all this lies with the Tianyin Sect.
Since the assassination of Wang Fanglin, the governor, the existence of Tianyin Sect has been no secret to Wuzhou official circles.
Except for the common people who don't know anything yet, those in the official circles all know what will happen in the future.
"Si Bing joins the army!" Li Xuan suddenly said, Si Bing joins the army Xi Ying immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "My subordinate is here!"
"Immediately draw up an official document. Today's curfew will be advanced by one hour, but people will not be prohibited from returning home. Those who return home after the curfew must leave records at each gate. All parties must not slack off and prevaricate. Once verified, they will conspire to treason. Punish the crime."
Li Xuan's light words made everyone present couldn't help but raise their brows, and their hearts suddenly became nervous.
"I obey the order." Xi Ying didn't hesitate at all. He immediately walked aside and started writing quickly in front of the desk.
Li Xuan put one hand on the official seal of the county magistrate, and then his eyes fell on Treasurer Canjun: "Lu Canjun!"
Lu Yuan, the treasurer of the army, immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "My subordinates are here!"
"From now on, all county warehouses, military depots, and grain depots will be closed, and no one inside will be allowed to leave. Tonight, I will check the inventory with Gu County Cheng, Kang County Lieutenant, and Master Li at the same time." Li Xuan His tone suddenly became serious.
The corner of Lu Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, but his expression softened. He cupped his hands and said, "I accept your orders."
"That's good. A group of Qianniu Guards will go with you soon. Let them guard the armory. If anyone breaks in, they will be killed." Li Xuan's voice was not serious, but every word was Once upon a time, it was like a mountain weighing on everyone's hearts.
"Here!" Lu Yuan agreed simply and without any hesitation, which made Li Xuan feel relieved.
Li Xuan raised his head and looked at the county magistrate Gu Tan, who was standing at the lowest level, and smiled lightly: "Gu county magistrate, you have no objection, right?"
"Don't be the leader of Wuzhou. Everything is under control. Everything is within the scope of authority. The subordinates will take orders." Gu Tan looked serious.
Biejia had been abolished many years ago and was changed to Changshi. The power of the county magistrate in the county is similar to the power of the Changshi in the state.
Now Gu Tan replaces the injured county magistrate Huang Jin and takes charge of the entire Dongyang, while Li Xuan, as the Wuzhou governor, handles state affairs in place of the governor Wang Fanglin, and there is no problem at all.
Not to mention that Li Xuan still has the governor's arrow in his hand, so there is no problem at all.
"Haha!" Li Xuan smiled faintly and said, "It would be best for Gu County Cheng to take it for granted. But tonight, the first thing to do is to investigate the assassination case of Hao Canjun. After a while, the three of them will go there with me. Hao Canjun’s residence."
"Here!" County Magistrate Gu Tan, County Lieutenant Kang Yao and Chief Secretary Li Dingyi stepped forward at the same time and accepted the promise.
Everyone else present lowered their heads and looked at Huang Ziming, a member of the judicial army. His face turned blue and white.
Li Xuan didn't ask him, at least not now.
At this moment, the official document Xi Ying had written and placed in front of Li Xuan.
Li Xuan turned her head and looked at the county magistrate Gu Tan: "Gu county magistrate, come and take a look. If you have no objections, you can stamp it with the county magistrate's seal. After that, I will stamp it again." Official seal." Chinese website
"Here!" The county magistrate Gu Tan no longer had any temper at this moment. The King of Nanchang kept doing one thing after another, yin and yang, leaving no room for others to refuse. It even made people unable to breathe.
"Xi joins the army. Under my command, there are also some Qianniu guards and some government guards. They will guard all important intersections in the county with your people. You have no objection, right?" Li Xuan's words made everyone present. Suddenly I couldn't help but jump a few times, wondering what the King of Nanchang was going to do.
Xi Ying hesitated slightly, but still handed over his hand and said, "I will accept your order."
Li Xuan smiled faintly, then waved her hand and said, "You go and handle it right away. Then meet me at Hao Canjun's residence so that I can see your ability in handling cases."
"Here!" Xi Ying immediately left the courtroom quickly.
Soon, the sound of gongs sounded throughout Dongyang County.
Li Xuan's eyes fell on Li Dingyi, the chief clerk below. He clasped his fingers lightly on the desk and said slowly and logically: "Master Li, I have read the official documents and inspected Hao Shenjun's body that day. You were at the scene, but can you still remember what happened that day?"
"Old man!" Li Ding handed over his hands with a wry smile. With his smile, the rosacea on his face became more and more obvious: "Although the old man is not unconscious, the subordinates were just confused about what happened that day, and the investigation was just a matter of confusion. Huang Canjun said that the final result was agreed upon by him and Gu Xiancheng and reported to the state government."
Gu Tan, Li Xuan's eyes fell on the county magistrate Gu Tan.
Gu Tan glanced at Li Dingyi with a gloomy face, then raised his hands to Li Xuan and said, "I only reported the results according to the results given by Huang Shenjun."
"In Dongyang, Sihu Junjun is a subordinate to the chief clerk, Judicial Junjun is a subordinate to the county magistrate, and Si Bingjunjun should be your subordinate, Kangxian Lieutenant!" Li Xuan's eyes fell directly on the county captain Kang Yao who had never spoken. .
"I will act as ordered." Kang Yao's face was a little complicated, but he still agreed.
In the official system of the imperial court, Si Hu, Si Bing, Si Cang, Judiciary, Si Gong, and Si Shi Liucao joined the army. They were all nominally subordinate to the county captain.
But in the local area, no county magistrate would allow the county lieutenant to control so much real power.
Therefore, the county magistrate and the chief registrar, with the support of the county magistrate, separated the responsibilities of Liu Cao from joining the army from the county captain.
Si Hu and Si Gong were under the jurisdiction of the Chief Registrar and Judiciary respectively. Si Cang was under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate, and the county captains were left with only Si Bing and Si Shi.
Of course, nominally, these people are still subordinates of the county captain, but the county magistrate, who also assists the county magistrate in managing county affairs, and the master bookkeeper who is responsible for writing, archives and statistics, can also intervene.
Not to mention, there are county magistrates higher up.
The county magistrate can even adjust various
This division of labor can also be adjusted according to affairs. This is the power of the county magistrate.
Li Xuan didn't know how Huang Jin was doing elsewhere, but he did a good job in balancing power.
Although Si Hu, Si Bing, Si Cang, Judiciary, Si Gong, and Si Shi belong to different officers, it is hard to say who they listen to.
"In that case, let's ask Shang Wuzuo to go with us." Li Xuan nodded calmly, turned to the county magistrate, and stood up: "Gu county magistrate, let someone get the case file, I will set off now."
"Follow the order!" Gu Tan nodded, and then a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
He wanted to see how the King of Nanchang was going to solve the case.
Li Xuan dispelled Gu Tan's thoughts at a glance. Since he dared to use this matter to make trouble, he naturally had his own confidence.
Looking up at the other people in the court, Li Xuan said with a serious face: "As for you all, please stay in the government office to rest tonight. As for your homes, I will ask Gu County Cheng to send someone to deliver a message later. .”
"Here!" Except for Sicang and Si Bing who had already left, everyone else respectfully agreed.
Only Huang Ziming, a member of the judicial army, had a trace of worry on his face.
[Huang Ziming, a member of the Dongyang Judicial Army, a native of Quzhou, and the deputy head of the Dongyang branch of Wuhua Hall of Tianyin Church. 】
