That is to say, in the nearly half a month since Zhang Yan left Langyuan City, Langyuan City's officialdom has set off a huge wave. I originally thought that Wu Yuan's death was the main theme, but who knew that it was just an interlude, and those who followed with their heads missing were the real drama.
Mr. Yang, who came from the county governor's house, was like the butcher in the village. From the first day he arrived in Langyuan City, he was like a dark cloud hanging over the local government office in Langyuan City, dragging down the officials who were originally aloof. He was as anxious as a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Just four days ago, a large number of personnel from the County Sheriff's Office arrived in Langyuan City and immediately took over most of the errands here. Immediately afterwards, as many as six Langyuan City officials were taken away and imprisoned that day. There was even a person who tried to resist on the way and had his leg chopped off with a knife and dragged to the dungeon.
This was more of a discussion than Wu Yuan's death before. After all, Wu Yuan said he died of illness, and these officials were afraid that they would be convicted.
Ordinary people do not know what happened specifically and what crimes the officials who were arrested committed. When I arrived at the so-called upper class in Langyuan City, I found out that it was Mr. Yang from the County Sheriff's Mansion who was looking over an old case. After Wu Yuan is gone as the "lid" in Langyuan City, it will not be so easy to hide the dirty things in those jars.
Since it was an old case being overturned, the people who were panicking were not just the officials in the local government.
Wu Mansion. Now it is used as another yamen in Langyuan City. And Yang Jie, who is considered a thorn in the side of many people here in Langyuan City, is here.
"How is it? How many people have been recruited?"
"My lord, all six of them were recruited. However, one person died just after he was recruited."
"Very good. It doesn't matter if someone dies. After getting the confession, we can compare it with the files in the case library. As long as they match, we can make evidence for overturning the case, and then start a detailed investigation. You did a good job. Keep digging. Ninety-nine percent of these people here in Langyuan City will die innocently, so there is no need to leave any room for them."
"It's your lord. Everything here in Langyuan City is basically in ruins. The confessions they submitted themselves seem to be frank and begging for leniency, but in fact who is not avoiding the important and taking the easy? Haha, lord, these people are all in charge of my subordinates. It's effortless. All of them will vomit completely in the end!
But sir, many of the places mentioned in those confessions are a bit strange. For example, the case involved the confession of Yao Hua, the former county magistrate's examiner. Wu Yuan was a middle-ranking official at that time and wanted to follow Yao Hua's path to change the official review, but Yao Hua refused several times. Then Yao Hua lost his footing and fell into a latrine and drowned.
There was no explanation for this incident at the time, and it was all treated as an accident. But this time the confession said that Yao Hua's death was not an accident, but a method used by Wu Yuan to remove the obstacle of Yao Hua and replace him with someone else. After that, Wu Yuan got a high-quality official rating as he wished.
Sir, do you want to investigate this matter or not? "
Yang Jie was silent for a long time after hearing this. He had read the confession and knew what his adjutant was talking about. But this matter is not limited to Langyuan City. It may even involve the former governor of Beijiang County.
To check or not to check?
Seeing Yang Jie's silence, the adjutant hesitated for a moment and then added: "Sir, if this kind of thing is true, it cannot be just once, there must be others. As long as we investigate further this time, we will definitely encounter more By then. I’m afraid it will still be unavoidable.”
The implication is to remind my master that this matter is not something that can be brushed aside. It’s better to prepare early than to rush later. Moreover, ventilating the county governor's mansion early can also avoid a lot of possible blame.
Yang Jie trusted his deputy's judgment on the case. Since there will definitely be similar clues later, we really can't just ignore them and ignore them. But this matter has too much to do with it. Even one of these things made Yang Jie feel a little unsure. If they really happened one after another, it would be a big event beyond expectation.
I sighed inwardly. It's a pity that if Wu Yuan had not died, Yang Jie would not have hesitated in this matter, because Wu Yuan would have been the one to bear everything. But now that Wu Yuan is dead, the relationship is gone, and he, the "pioneer" who broke through these acnes, feels even more pressure.
The adjutant stood quietly by the side and said nothing. He said everything he had to say. The rest depends on how the adults decide.
After a while, Yang Jie stood up from the chair. He patted the table vigorously, and then said in a deep voice: "Then check it out. List the type of confession you just mentioned separately. Then attach the established facts that can be matched. But remember , don’t bring our thoughts, just write the confession as it is, and it’s best not to change a word. Do you understand what I mean?”
"My subordinate understands!"
"Have you found the other three people, Xiao Chongwen?" Yang Jie rubbed his brows, put aside his previous words for the time being, and started another topic.
"Not yet. The sea arrest documents have been issued. If those three people are still alive, there should be news."
"Then do you think they are dead or alive?"
"My subordinates feel that there is a 70% chance that he has been silenced."
"Who destroyed it? Wu Yuan?"
"Yes. That's what my subordinates think."
"So now the only person involved in the case that is directly related to Wu Yuan and who is still alive is Zhang Yan, right?" A smile appeared on Yang Jie's face. He found this Zhang Yan more and more interesting.
"Yes, sir. Among the files we have gathered so far, only Zhang Yan is still alive in the case that directly involves Wu Yuan and his son. However, Zhang Yan did not give any useful clues. And it seems that he has no idea about the overturn of the case. No interest. In addition, he has somehow obtained the status of a guest teacher at the Wushu Academy, so it is basically impossible to figure it out."
Yang Jie shook his head and laughed: "What do you mean? No need. There must be something special about being a guest teacher at the Jiangwu Academy. No wonder Wu Yuan and his son have never left anyone alive after doing all their evil deeds, but this inkstone can survive until now. And it's back. After Langyuan City, they were clearly under the noses of Wu Yuan and his son, but they were safe and sound. In turn, they tortured Wu Yuan and his son to death. There is definitely another story in this!
Moreover, if it were you, if you took revenge yourself and both enemies died, would you still care about such an optional thing as overturning the case?
Don't worry about Zhang Yan yet. Put his case aside for now. After we finish the other cases and look back, maybe we will have to find the answer in him in the end. "
"Sir, are you saying that Zhang Yan knows Wu Yuan's method of committing the crime?" The adjutant reacted quickly and immediately thought of the clues in the previous confession.
"Well. If Wu Yuan could really kill high-ranking people like Yao Hua silently, why couldn't he kill just Zhang Yan? In the end, Wu Yuan even wrote Zhang Yan's name in his suicide note before he died. ? These problems may lie with Zhang Yan."
