Chapter 550： Safely solve the case (1)

Chapter 550 Solve the case safely (1)

Responsible, can't you salute? You think you are a military general, but you still have to salute inconveniently with your armor on!

Master Tongzhi looked at the magistrate standing upright in front of him, and wanted to slap him on the face.

Although Taizu’s ancestral system stipulates that subordinates do not have to kneel and salute when they meet their superiors, but only salute.

Hu Shining, who served as Minister of the Ministry of War in the early years of Jiajing, once said: "The previous dynasty examined and determined, and the constitution was written as a book. It is considered a ceremonial style. When meeting with the three officials, such as the magistrate, each has its own rituals... Now below the magistrate. Long kneeling I can't afford it. Below the chief executive, everyone will accompany you. When you agree, you are afraid of bowing your head to your knees. It is called bowing your hands. But it is like bowing and kneeling."

It has almost become a custom for lower officials, especially subordinate officials, to meet with upper officials with a big prostration. Of course, if it is according to the Taizu ancestor system, you can't say anything about this county magistrate. If you challenge him hard, you can't do anything to him. That's why this fellow magistrate is so upset to see this county magistrate.

"Clear the fishing nets on the surface of the river out of a waterway, and let this official pass first."

Master Tong Zhi didn't bother to pay attention to the green pine magistrate anymore, put on airs and gave orders to the magistrate, then turned around confidently and prepared to board the ship.

Just as Master Tongzhi was walking on official steps and turned around to board the ship, he suddenly heard a deep and deep voice behind him, which made Master Tongzhi who was walking on the document involuntarily stagger.

"Forgive me for being powerless."

What? Did I get it wrong? Turned down? How dare a small magistrate disobey his order? ! Did he eat the bear's heart or chew the leopard's gall? !

Master Tongzhi's face was dark at that time, he turned around and looked at the magistrate who made the sound with a dark face, narrowing his eyes slightly, "Do you know who you are talking to?"

"Please forgive me, my lord. There is a murder case in the lower official's jurisdiction. The lower official is duty-bound. The waterway here has an obvious curvature. The lower official consulted fishermen who are familiar with the water and checked the hydrological conditions. If someone falls into the river, it is the easiest place to salvage. To prevent the current from washing away The corpse delayed the case, and the fishing net was blocked at the bottom of the river. The officials have asked Dangtu county officials to cooperate, and deployed guards to prevent the suspect from escaping at various traffic arteries, so the suspect is likely to be nearby...Please cooperate with the adults." replied.

"Asshole, are you saying that I am also a suspect?" Master Tongzhi was furious.

"I don't dare. It is the responsibility of the people to guard the people. Please cooperate with the adults. If you set a precedent for the adults, you may be unfair to these people. Second, you may set a precedent for the adults. If you want to accept it, the officials will not accept it." Living."

Facing Master Tongzhi's anger, Zhixian's face was as calm as before, unaffected at all, and he didn't even bat an eyelid.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Ping'an was glad that he didn't find out the official letter to ask Hai Rui to give convenience to the students rushing for the exam and the sick elderly, otherwise he would definitely be embarrassed.

Just look at what happened to this fifth-rank Tongzhi master! Not to mention that he is only a sixth-rank. Although the county magistrate is only at the seventh rank or from the seventh rank, he doesn't even sell the face of a fifth rank official, let alone a sixth rank official.

Do not play favoritism.

Not afraid of power.

This is Zhu Pingan's second sense of the county magistrate, and his first sense is the cleanliness and frugality that can be seen from his patched official uniform. Of course, the first sense may also be wrong. After all, in modern Guangxi, a certain double-faced corrupt official who wore old clothes, old belts and broken sandals but took bribes and made tens of millions of dollars can be said to be "I am too crazy when others laugh at me, but others can't see through when I laugh at him." ".

But judging from Zhu Pingan's second sense of him, his first sense should be correct.

Humble and aloof.

This is Zhu Pingan's third sense of the magistrate. Zhu Ping'an can see the magistrate more clearly when he gets closer. It can also be seen in his behavior style. Whether it's a Tongzhi adult, a sick commoner, or a student rushing to take an exam, this county magistrate insists on this.

"Good! Good! Good! Tell me, where is your jurisdiction?"

Master Tongzhi said three good words with a dark face, and then asked sullenly where the county magistrate holds office.

The meaning is self-evident.

Dare to embarrass the old man, I have the ability to leave your name! See if this old man doesn't deal with you in the future!

"The next official is the county magistrate of Chun'an." The county magistrate of Chun'an is not afraid at all, and will speak out about his position frankly, without any scruples about being settled in the future.

"Then I will see how you handle the case!"

After hearing this, Master Tongzhi took another hard look at the magistrate of Chun'an and remembered it once deeply. Then he got into the sedan chair carried by his subordinates and ordered his subordinates to carry them to the shade of the trees by the river, and to lift them away. He took off the window screens, sat in the sedan chair and watched the stunned magistrate of Qing County handle the case.

"I obey orders." The magistrate of Chun'an bid farewell, turned around and went to the riverside to preside over the case handling work.

The county magistrate of Chun'an doesn't take the hard way, he can only find the dead body as soon as possible, or solve the case to get through as soon as possible.

Zhu Pingan followed the county magistrate to the first scene unobtrusively as if he was watching the excitement, inspected the scene carefully, paid close attention to the parties involved in the case, and listened to the comments and comments of the surrounding people on the case. , Obtain as much case information as possible.

After the county magistrate of Chun'an arrived at the scene, he commanded the officers to pull the net again on the Yangtze River, but still found nothing. After thinking for a moment with a slight frown, he ordered the officers to call all the informants.

There are mainly two people who reported the case, and they reported the case together. One is the young woman who was crying heartbreakingly by the river just now, and also the wife of Mr. Zhang who may be killed in an accident. The young woman is the young wife married by Mr. Zhang after his original wife died of illness. of. Mr. Zhang is in his mid-forties this year. This young woman is only in her early twenties, more than 20 years younger than Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang married into the family five years ago.

Another reporter was a boatman surnamed Wang. A small black-covered boat by the river was his boat, and it could only accommodate five or six people. Wang Chuanfu and Mr. Zhang are about the same age. They have lived on the Yangtze River since they were young, and they made money by transporting people in boats.

Master Zhang is a businessman, and he owns several shops. Three days ago, Mr. Zhang was going to Yingtian Mansion to buy goods. The boatman he hired was this boatman surnamed Wang. They agreed to meet here by the river at 1:00 this morning, and then go to Yingtianfu to buy goods. Unexpectedly, something happened this morning.

"You tell me the whole story again, Mrs. Zhang, please tell me first." The magistrate of Chun'an said to the two.

"Wuuuuu, follow the orders of Master Qingtian, you have to be the master of the women." The young woman cried so much that if she couldn't stand up, she barely stood up with the help of her maid, and then cried and begged the county magistrate of Chun'an to make the decision.

"I will make the decision for you, you speak first." The magistrate of Chun'an nodded.

When the young woman was crying, many people around her started pointing at the young woman, whispering some gossip.

"Look, something happened to Mr. Zhang, and she is still dressed in such a colorful, rouge, oh, Mr. Zhang fell on a woman."

"That's right, that's right, I know this old man, he is a good man. But, alas, good people don't live long. I heard that this Zhang Wang's wife, Zhang Wang, was married when he was a girl in his natal family. , I have a good friend, a poor boy. It was her parents who made the decision and betrothed her to Mr. Zhang."

"That's right, when I heard that Mrs. Wang was getting on the sedan chair, she cried terribly. She refused to get on the sedan chair anyway."

"Look at her appearance, you can tell it at a glance. I heard that after marrying Mr. Zhang, she still..."

"What's wrong with her? Tell me quickly."

"Come on, come here, I will tell you quietly"

For a moment, the gossip of the onlookers reached Zhu Ping'an's ears as if countless small speakers were turned on. Everyone talked more and more lively, and the more they talked, the more energetic they were, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

"Bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about, my wife is not like what you said, my wife and the master are in love."

The maid next to the young woman heard the gossip of the people around her, her face flushed and trembling with anger, and she spat hard at the onlookers.

"Silence!"

Several guards saw this, stepped forward and yelled at the crowd, and then the scene calmed down a little.
