Following the words, Yu Liang walked in quickly.
Everyone in the hall turned their heads, and their eyes naturally stopped on her.
Yu Dongqing looked happy.
Guo Baode frowned: "Who are you?"
"The new inspector of Wuwei Mansion in Lu'an County." Yu Liang bowed his hands and said, "I have met all of you."
"New gangster? Why don't I know this?" Guo Baode glanced at Yu Dongqing, questioning in his words.
The county captain smiled and said, "Isn't this the case where there were many omissions in the autopsy done by the widow before? I just wanted to recruit another talented person in this field. Since it was some trivial matters for the Wuwei Mansion, I didn't dare to bother the county magistrate. Just like the county government recruiting If you use a scribe, you don’t need to say hello to the county, right?"
What he said was reasonable and in line with the regulations. Guo Baode could not refute it, but he was already angry when he was interrupted at such a critical moment, so he scolded: "Since you are a coward, you should understand the rules and not see what is going on in the house." Discussion? This is where you came from! Why don’t you get out!"
"Yes, you are reckless. I just have an urgent letter that needs to be handed over to the county captain. I hope the county will forgive me." Yu Liang couldn't refute this kind of reproach from the superior officer. After receiving his attitude, he handed the letter to Yu. Holly, then respectfully bowed out. He didn't forget to wink at Zhou Huai who was standing aside.
The latter was looking at her with wide eyes and curiosity.
With the letter in hand, the county captain had some idea in his mind. Seeing Yu Liang's posture, he must have gained something.
Guo Baode didn't know what was going on here. He just thought it was an insignificant incident, so he started urging again.
"Master Guo, please be patient." After Yu Dongqing finished speaking, he opened the letter in front of everyone, and after reading it word for word, a smile appeared on his face: "I'm really sorry, I'm afraid Wu Wei Mansion can't handle this case. Leave it to the county.”
"What did you say!?" Guo Baode almost thought that his ears were wrong, and sneered: "Yu County Lieutenant, you are so courageous, you dare to openly disobey the orders of your superiors. Do you know the consequences of this? Do you want me to give it to you?" Popularize the laws of Daqin."
"The county magistrate calmed down. It's not that he disobeyed the order due to his humble position. It happened for a reason. Zhang Shangshu sent the official document, and he didn't dare to disobey it." Yu Dongqing felt at ease and his tone became much more relaxed: "If you don't believe it, you have read it. This letter will tell you.”
Then he handed the letter to Guo Baode.
"Zhang Shangshu?" Although the latter was confused, he still took it. Several other people also gathered around and read together.
The content of the letter is simple and clear, and can be summarized in one sentence: Wang Shaocheng's matter has been recorded in Wuwei Mansion, Lu'an County, and no one is allowed to touch it without permission. There is Zhang Jingrui's signature and seal at the end.
Moreover, it is written in a formal document, which is equivalent to a warrant.
After reading this letter, Guo Baode and others couldn't help but look at each other. Their expressions were different, but there were obvious changes.
"Isn't this a lie?" Lord Zhongshu said, his tone less confident than before.
Yu Dongqing did not answer this sentence and looked at him like an idiot.
Mr. Fang was chatting, and Guo Baode said: "Even if it is a letter from Zhang Shangshu, there is no reason for the Ministry of Industry to intervene in the case of Wuwei Mansion, right?"
"That's right!" The county magistrate seemed to have found the key point and immediately followed: "This is a murder case. Even if Zhang Shangshu is the second rank of the dynasty, he should not be like this. Isn't this an overstepping of authority?"
"This statement is ridiculous." Yu Dongqing said: "Wang Shaocheng is a water conservancy supervisor, and his case involves the Lu'an Dam and the county's water conservancy project. Zhang Shangshu is the chief official of the Ministry of Industry, how can he not have the right to interfere? Isn't this a joke? !”
"This!" The county magistrate was choked, but could not refute.
Guo Baode took a deep breath: "In any case, now the county is going to take over the case. Will County Lieutenant Yu hand it over or not?"
"I have said that I have a humble position. Now that Zhang Shangshu's order is here, what should I do if the county magistrate gives up my humble position?" Yu Dongqing asked.
"I will leave it to the county to investigate first, and we will wait until Zhang Shangshu comes." Guo Baode no longer gave orders, and there was a hint of discussion in his tone.
"That's definitely not possible." This is what Yu Dongqing was waiting for. How could he let go at this time? He also started to play the blame game: "Since the county government wants to investigate the case, and Zhang Shangshu wants to keep the case, I don't think it is better to do this. I will explain the matter to the county governor and ask the superior officer to negotiate with Zhang Shangshu. In this way, the low-level officials and officials below us will be able to do things better. What do you think?"
There is actually nothing wrong with what I say.
But how could Guo Baode and others wait until that time, not to mention who was the county governor in front of Zhang Jingrui? How to negotiate? Do you still dare to come over? I'm afraid that as soon as I heard about this, I immediately followed suit.
The scene became somewhat silent for a while.
After a while, Mr. Fang smiled and said: "Yu County Lieutenant, why is this happening? The County Sheriff is very concerned about Wang Shaocheng's case and has explicitly told me to explain it to me. Why don't you do it conveniently?"
"This is not a matter of inconvenience, Lord Fang." Yu Dongqing said with a tangled look on his face: "You should also understand the difficulties of a humble position."
Mr. Fang didn't know what to say. Guo Baode continued: "This is just a letter, but what if there is no movement from Zhang Shangshu for ten days and a half? Then shouldn't the case have to be shelved forever? The matter is so important, how can it be like this? !”
"Because the matter is so important, I have to act with caution and follow the rules. I hope you will understand." Yu Dongqing was uneasy.
As he spoke, he glanced at a few people and added without forgetting: "I'm just humble, but I didn't expect that all of you would be so concerned about this case. You have repeatedly put pressure on the Wuwei Mansion. Could it be that you are also involved?"
These words are no longer insinuations, but almost explicit.
Several people were shocked when they heard this, and the county magistrate angrily shouted: "What are you talking about! It's just nonsense!"
"What Yu County Lieutenant said is too much." Guo Baode said gloomily: "The reason why we are like this is because Wang Shaocheng is a former colleague. Naturally, we want to find out the matter as soon as possible. If he is innocent, we might as well clear his name. Hand it over to the county. Here, when it comes to investigating cases, there are more talents in all aspects, and they can also peel off the cocoons and be more refined."
"That's true. It was a humble faux pas. Please forgive me." Yu Dongqing admitted his mistake quickly.
"Hmph!" The county magistrate flicked his sleeves and turned sideways, showing no good looks.
Others fell silent again, seeming to be thinking of some countermeasures.
How could Yu Dongqing accompany them all this time? He laughed dryly and said: "My lords, it's getting late. It's up to you to decide whether to report this matter to the county magistrate for negotiation immediately or what to do. But there are still many things to do here in this humble position. I'm busy with official duties, so I might not be able to stay with you for a long time."
Guo Baode's face turned blue and white, not to mention how ugly he was. After a long pause, he could only leave with one sentence: "Farewell!" (End of Chapter)
