Even now, you still don’t admit it?
Gao Hui looked at the quibbling Gu Zhengchen, his face livid: "I took away your magistrate's seal and gave it to Qin Xin to take charge of government affairs. You will never forget this, right?"
"Oh, I didn't forget."
Gu Zhengchen nodded.
Gao Hui clenched his fist: "You blatantly stole the prefect's seal, occupied the government office, and issued orders. Isn't that rebellion?"
When Gu Zhengchen heard this, he immediately became angry and cursed: "Who spread rumors to cause trouble and insisted on harming me? Gao Shenzheng Mingjian, the prefect's seal is not in my hand now, it is still in Qin Xin's hand, why do you say I snatched the prefect's seal? ?If Gao Shenzheng doesn’t believe it, I can take you to Qin Tongzhi to prove your innocence!”
Gao Hui looked at the angry Gu Zhengchen, feeling a little dazed.
What exactly is going on? Is the news Bu Xiu brought to him false?
wrong!
Behind Bu Xiu is Bu Shou. It is impossible for him to spread false news about himself. It seems that Gu Zhengchen is lying!
At this moment, Qin Xin in the prison cell picked up the rice bowl. He didn't know what day it was. Not to mention that the rice had been delivered earlier, and there was more rice than usual. He stirred the rice with chopsticks and revealed a copper-colored object.
This thing seems familiar.
Grabbing the copper handle, he picked it up and looked at the bottom. Qin Xin was stunned and blurted out: "I'll go and seal the letter from the prefect!"
Damn, what's going on? Who put this thing in the rice? Whether it's been washed or not, can the rice be eaten? No, now is not the time to think about food. I now hold the seal of the prefect, and that means I am the acting prefect.
"Come here, come here, I have the seal of the prefect, I am the acting prefect, let me out!"
Qin Xin shouted at the top of his lungs, reaching out of the window to shake the seal.
Prison corridor.
Gu Zhengchen stopped, pointed to the prison cell not far away, and looked at Gao Hui: "Well, Gao Shenzheng, the prefect's seal is indeed in his hands."
Gao Hui gritted his teeth: "Since the seal is in his hands, why is he locked up in the prison cell? Who locked him up?"
"Oh, it's me."
Gu Zhengchen admitted readily. ..??m
Gao Hui rolled his sleeves and looked coldly: "You are a prefect without a seal, why should you imprison him? I heard that you were the first to steal the seal. After taking control of the government office, you immediately ordered people to put Qin Xin, Wu Kang and others in prison! Don’t think that just because the seal is in his hand right now, it proves that you didn’t seize the seal! This kind of thing is not difficult to find out. Once found out, how will Governor Gu handle himself?"
Gu Zhengchen chuckled and looked at Criminal Law Xu Lan.
Xu Lan stepped forward and handed over several recruitment notices.
Gao Hui glanced at it, his face suddenly turned ugly.
Gu Zhengchen said sternly: "Qin Xin and Wu Kang were involved in politics. They used the name of corvee service to embezzle money and food from the government. They maliciously oppressed rich peasants and large households with no strong foundation. They wantonly amassed money. They used clever names to exploit the people... There were many crimes, as witnessed by witnesses. , the physical evidence is conclusive, and it is necessary to imprison them, right?"
Gao Hui shook his head and said sternly: "You don't have a seal, so how can you give orders? Gu Zhengchen, I think you hold the seal in your hand, and then carry out tyrannical punishments. You must be beaten! In any case, you, a prefect without a seal, dare to imprison an agent Magistrate, you are rebelling!"
Gu Zhengchen stared: "So, I should just watch them continue to be corrupt and bully the people of Quanzhou? I can't arrest people even if the evidence is solid?"
Gao Hui bit the seal and did not let go: "Without the magistrate's seal, there is no power to exercise his authority. Gu Zhengchen, even if he is a one-day official, he should understand such a simple truth! Don't talk to me about Qin Xin's corruption. I am The official only knows that you stole the magistrate's seal, and based on this alone, I can arrest you!"
Gu Zhengchen looked deeply at Gao Hui and asked: "Have Gao Shenzheng ever thought about arresting me? This Quanzhou government office will really have no one in charge. Compared to me who killed Yang Baiju, Qin Xin, Wu Kang and others Human crimes are even more serious. If you dare to release these people who have admitted their crimes and continue to control the government, I am afraid no one will agree."
Gao Hui sneered: "You don't have to worry about it now, I will take over the government office! Huang Senping, put Gu Zhengchen in a prison car and send him to Jinling immediately!"
Huang Senping raised his hand to support his forehead, without looking at Gu Zhengchen, and asked, "Do you need us to do something?"
Gu Zhengchen shook his head slightly and looked at Gao Hui: "I'm afraid you can't take over the government office, and you can't send me to Jinling immediately."
"Why, can you, a mere prefect, control my political participation?"
Gao Hui was disdainful.
Gu Zhengchen smiled heartily and took two steps forward: "You are participating in politics, your office is in Fuzhou, this is Jinjiang, Quanzhou, there is no seat for you, and there is no house for you. In addition, I would like to advise Gao to participate in politics, Gu I came to Quanzhou Prefecture with an order to rectify the officialdom. Regardless of whether I have the prefect's seal in my hand or not, I will carry out errands according to the order. I, Gu Zhengchen, will investigate and kill anyone who corrupts and harms the people!"
"If you insist on seizing me for the prefect's seal and send me to Jinling, then I'm sorry, I don't want to go to Jinling, and you don't want to leave the government office either! Qin Xin, Wu Kang, you have never dared to say Isn’t the relationship between the Bu family and the Bu family just hoping that the Bu family will call Gao Shenzheng back to save your lives? Now that Gao Hui is here, do you really think he can let you live? "
Gao Hui looked gloomy and took a step back: "Zhuang Bing, arrest him!"
Zhuang Bing was Gao Hui's bodyguard. After hearing the order, he stepped forward without hesitation and reached out to grab Gu Zhengchen's lapel.
Bang!
A hand stretched out from the side and grabbed Zhuang Bing's wrist like an iron pincer.
"Gao Shenzhen, Gu Zhifu is ordered to rectify the officialdom of Quanzhou Prefecture, so you don't need to get into trouble anymore, right?"
Xiao Cheng looked at Gao Hui coldly and suddenly exerted force on his hands.
Zhuang Bing felt that his right wrist was about to be pinched off, so he quickly stretched out his left hand to grab Xiao Cheng's hand and wanted to break it open, but Ke Cheng thought that the other party's strength was too great and could not be compared to his own.
"ah--"
Zhuang Bing knelt down in pain.
Xiao Cheng let go of his hand, raised his foot and kicked Zhuang Bing in the chest, knocking him two somersaults and knocking Shi Su to the ground.
Gao Hui shouted angrily: "You want to rebel? Huang Senping, why don't you arrest them?"
Huang Senping took a deep look at Xiao Cheng and secretly marveled at this man's strength and tyranny.
Yu Siye was also shocked by Xiao Cheng's move. Obviously, this man must be a master. He didn't know who was better than Lin Baifan.
A group of Quanzhou Guards soldiers remained motionless.
If the chief doesn't say anything, no one dares to move. During this period of time, the health camp was improving discipline, and the most important point was to obey orders.
Without orders, even if he is stung by a bee, he cannot move.
Yu Siye lowered his head and looked at the ground, you want us to arrest Magistrate Gu?
Are you kidding? Did you know that he was the one who sent the heads of Zhou Yuan and Cai Ye to the flagpole in Quanzhou Guard? Even the commander Huang Senping had to listen to him. Just now Huang Senping asked Gu Zhengchen if he needed to take action. Why didn't you Gao Hui understand? Do you think you were discussing your feelings with Gu Zhengchen?
Gao Hui turned to look at Huang Senping, the flesh on his cheeks couldn't help but tremble, and shouted angrily: "Huang Senping, the Quanzhou Guard has the right to cooperate with the province to participate in politics and fight against local chaos! If you don't take action again, I will write a letter of impeachment against you!"
Huang Senping looked at Gu Zhengchen with a grimace.
Gu Zhengchen was debating whether to arrest Gao Hui or not.
If you don't arrest Gao Hui, this matter is likely to end today. Seeing him chasing after him and not giving up until he reaches his goal, you can tell that he is determined to rebel and must be sent back to Lao Zhu Lao Nao.
Arresting Gao Hui would be equivalent to a direct slap in the face of the Fujian Provincial Government Office. The other two political participants, Chen Tai and Lu Zongyi, would definitely not give up. After hearing the news, other prefectures and counties might also write letters to impeach themselves.
Although he is not afraid of impeachment, it is still troublesome to cause trouble to Lao Zhu. What's more, Chen Ning is still at the Yushitai, and Hu Weiyong is in control of Zhongshu. If he says a few words at that time, it is likely that Lao Zhu will think too much.
If you trust this thing, it will probably be gone if someone steps on it.
The most important thing is that Gao Hui took action against himself twice, once to seize the seal, and once to send him away. Each time he took action, he made progress.
If Gao Hui had nothing to do with the Quanzhou government office or the Bu family, Gu Zhengchen would never believe it. To arrest him now, there is insufficient evidence and questioning will not reveal the reason, and it will cause a lot of trouble.
After weighing the left and right, Gu Zhengchen sighed and said to Huang Ke: "Open a prison cell and put me in it."
Huang Ke was shocked.
Huang Senping was also confused by Gu Zhengchen's actions. Are you sure you went in by yourself and didn't send Gao Hui in?
Huang Ke was a little at a loss.
Gao Hui snorted: "Gu Zhengchen, don't even think about staying in the prison cell. I will send you out of Fujian Province this time!"
Gu Zhengchen frowned, clenched his fists, and shook his head helplessly: "Gao Shenzheng, I have already taken a step back. If you push further, I don't mind making the trouble bigger. At worst, I will go back to Shandong to fish!"
"You dare to call me Lao Tzu?"
Gao Hui was angry.
Gu Zhengchen stepped forward and lost his patience: "I'm so anxious that I will imprison you and kill you together! When the emperor blames you, the most you can blame is your inability to perform your duties and you will be sent to the army. Do you know that Xu Da invited me to go to the north several times as a soldier?" You haven’t gone to the army yet, if you want to use your head to send me all the way, I can help you!”
Gao Hui pointed at Gu Zhengchen, gritted his teeth and shouted: "You, you are vulgar, nonsense, rebellious, and lawless! I will report to the emperor and copy your entire family..."
"Copy your mother!"
"Gu Zhengchen! I'm ashamed to be with you!"
"Then when you become an official, do you know how to write a formal document? How about I help you write it?"
"you……"
Huang Senping was full of doubts. He held his chin and watched a political participant and a prefect bickering.
Yu Siye also noticed something was wrong and whispered: "Prefect Gu seems to be delaying time..."
Huang Senping nodded. Gu Zhengchen felt something was wrong when he wanted to go to the prison cell. Now it seems that it is all about delaying time. But the question is, what can happen if delaying time happens?
Xiao Cheng watched it with gusto. When it came to swearing, Gu Zhengchen was definitely a master. He was able to quarrel with other scholars and rendered all the officials speechless in the lobby of the Jinling Criminal Department.
Gao Hui is also from the Ministry of Justice. Even your old superiors can't talk about him. If you insist on quarreling with him, look, it's going to end...
