"It's just Master Fu." After expressing his loyalty and innocence, Hu Ke raised his eyes and stared at Fu Yunlang, with a meaningful dark light in his eyes, "Even if I try my best to save the current situation, I may not succeed. Let’s talk about the ugly things first, if it really fails then, Mr. Fu would be better off not punishing the lower officials.”
Hu Ke's expression fell in Fu Yunlang's eyes, and it was a sign that he was being taken advantage of.
Treacherous old fox!
Fu Yunlang was so angry that he almost bit his back molars, fearing that his hatred would be leaked from his expression. He quickly lowered his head, concealed the expression on his face, and whispered: "Where is Mr. Hu County Cheng? This matter As long as you stay out of the mountain, you will be able to solve the problem smoothly."
Hu Ke stroked his goatee, bent his eyes, laughed twice, and didn't say another word.
After leaving the county magistrate's office, Fu Yunlang had a sullen expression and never said a word again.
Later, he never expressed opinions different from others in county affairs.
Just as he promised Hu Ke, from that day on, he really imitated the Huang-Lao school of governance, letting everyone and everything in the yamen go their own way.
Unexpectedly, the series of chaos caused by the case of forcing confessions and humiliating witnesses were all calmed down smoothly under the personal auspices of the county magistrate Hu Ke.
Not only that, the instigator of the Hu family's petty official was also successfully arrested and brought to justice by Hu Ke. Although he was already a corpse, he was finally brought to justice.
It turned out that the young official surnamed Hu had fallen in love with a brothel girl and was anxious to raise money to redeem her. Because the Hu family's family tradition is very strict, not to mention marrying a promiscuous woman, even indulging in romantic places, gambling houses, etc., will be cleared from the family tree and removed from the family tree. Therefore, it was difficult for the clerk to do his job inside and out, and he couldn't find a way out for a while.
At this moment, he suddenly saw that Fu Zhixian County, which was in urgent need of talents, was looking for trustworthy clerks, so he behaved well. First, he wanted to extort more money from the original and defendant parties in the process of solving the case, and gain more leverage; Secondly, according to the past practice of the yamen, as long as you help the county magistrate solve a major case, you will normally receive a personal reward from the county magistrate.
So in this case, he first asked the victim's family for a large sum of money for hard work. He swore to the plaintiff's parents that he would use all his connections to solve this case.
For the suspect, he did not ask for double money as usual, but resorted to lynching, using various torture methods under the banner of the county magistrate, in order to quickly plead guilty and quickly close the case, and quickly make a great contribution. .
Finally, for the most important witness in the case, he spent a small amount of money to instigate him to confirm the ambiguities in his testimony.
But to his surprise, although the witness was a widowed lady, she acted very principledly, was more devoted to worshiping Buddha, and believed in the cycle of cause and effect.
Although the suspect who was her neighbor often bullied his neighbors and was not a good person, this case was indeed not his fault. If she killed a life for nothing just for a small amount of money, she would never have peace of mind in her life.
So not only did she sternly reject the money from the young official named Hu, but she also sternly warned him not to waste human lives like this.
However, this sentence caused huge trouble for herself.
The little official who had reached this point could not allow his previous efforts to be wasted, so he became angry and stepped forward and slapped the woman hard.
The woman struggled in anger, not only scratched him, but also cursed to go to the Yamen to expose him.
The clerk was completely irritated. He knew that in order to make a woman completely tame and obedient, he had to take her fatal advantage. Coupled with the fact that he almost lost his sanity and anger at that time, he easily broke the woman's virginity.
What happened was exactly as he expected. Although the woman had thought about seeking death, due to her children and the reputation of her family, she still agreed to give false testimony under his coercion and inducement.
What he never expected was that after calming down afterwards, the woman actually chose to commit suicide.
After receiving the news that the woman had committed suicide, the clerk surnamed Hu immediately ran away from the Yamen. There followed a series of chaos.
After learning the whole story of the case, Fu Yunlang still did not express any opinions. Later he just didn't care about anything. He didn't join in the sleaze, and he didn't handle any cases. He just stood by and let his subordinates investigate the cases. He sat quietly as the county magistrate, secretly waiting for the opportunity to come. Gradually, various forces in Teng County's yamen thought that Xinzhi County had finally been subdued by them, had lost all its vigor, and could no longer achieve anything.
Therefore, even if Fu Zhixian County did not really get along with them, they still had to be happy that water from a well would not interfere with the river.
But they didn't know that Fu Yunlang secretly sent someone to Yanzhou Prefecture not far away to ask Yin for help.
After saying this in one breath, Fu Yunlang finally stopped.
He was panting slightly, his cheeks flushed.
Those past events were like a huge scar on his body. Although it was pleasant to peel it off in one breath, it left his flesh and skin torn open, causing unbearable pain and making him unable to calm down for a long time.
