Chapter 38 Officials protect each other
Public opinion is boiling, it is at its peak, the fire is burning, and the real thing is...
In the Prefecture, Prefect Lei Zhongzhou had just checked the information on the top list and was closing his eyes and meditating there. Suddenly, the master ran back from outside and said something in his ear. Prefect Lei suddenly stood up, his eyes shining brightly.
Incite public opinion and fight against the Zhang family!
audacious in the extreme!
"The three squadrons of government officials obeyed the order and set off immediately to the Confucian Temple, bringing weapons and stopping the violence!"
"On command!"
Three squads of government officials gathered from various places, and more than 300 people gathered in the blink of an eye.
Set off!
…
There were only the last two people left in front of the Confucian Temple. Their faces were as pale as dirt. They were not particularly familiar with the Zhang family. How could they know about the Zhang family's crimes? I have heard about it occasionally, and people in front of me have said it, but they really can’t tell.
"Can't you tell me? Run, run, shout!" Lin Su said coldly.
"Brother Lin, we are really..."
"Don't you want to cash in on your bet?"
His voice was cold.
The literary world of the two is squeaking...
The two of them were so stunned that they took off their clothes at the same time, rushed towards the crowd, and shouted in unison, I am a waste...
The crowd was stunned, but also amused, and gave way one after another.
Everyone began to have a different understanding of this harmless third son of the Lin family.
This kid... is determined to fight the Zhang family to the end.
In the policy discussion, he nailed Zhang Wenyuan to the pillar of shame in history with one of his famous sayings.
More than two hundred murders fell on the Zhang family again.
The Zhang family in Haining was already hated by everyone and hated by everyone in the city.
Originally, the Lin family was so miserable by the Zhang family. Almost everyone expected that the Lin family would be like countless other families who had offended the Zhang family and would be miserable from now on. However, in just two months, the Lin family launched a fatal blow.
Quick and accurate!
The knife stabs at the vital point!
The play in front of the Confucian Temple is over.
The flow of people on the street began to gather, and the center of the storm began to turn towards Zhang Mansion!
Tens of thousands of people shouted, "The Zhang family deserves death for their crimes" and headed towards the Zhang Mansion.
In the Prefecture, Prefect Lei raised his hand and captured the movements of the city through the official seal in his palm. At some point, a cruel smile appeared on his face, OK!
Lin Su, you finally made a mistake!
As soon as the crowd riots, you, the instigator, will never be able to take off your heinous crime. I will take away your essence, your brain, and your secret recipe. It’s all in my mind...
Just when the flow of people became overwhelming, a person suddenly appeared in front of the crowd, arms spread wide, and it was Lin Su.
When the anger of tens of thousands of people is ignited, who in the world can stop it?
Even if officers and soldiers appear on the scene, they will probably have to fight each other, but there is one person who is different. He is Lin Su.
Today the Zhang family's crimes were exposed because of him!
He is, of course, the leader to settle accounts with the Zhang family!
The more I hate the Zhang family, the more I respect him!
"Folks!" Lin Su shouted loudly: "I know you are full of anger towards the Zhang family, and I know your hearts are filled with grief and indignation, but all saints are above us, the universe is bright, the state has national laws, and families have family rules. Don't be impulsive! Otherwise, our Just actions will be stained with dust!”
After saying this, the team suddenly became quiet.
An old man shouted: "Jie Yuangong, what do you say, we will listen to you!"
"Well, let's all select a hundred representatives to follow me to the prefect's office and appeal to the prefect. I believe that the prefect will serve as an official and benefit the whole party. He will punish the bullies and give justice to the people!"
As soon as he said this, there was an explosion below.
Mr. Jie Yuangong, you don’t understand the situation at all. This prefect is the dog raised by the Zhang family!
Yes, the Zhang family has done evil and tyranny over the years. Which one of them didn't happen under the eyes of the prefect?
It's useless to go to the prefect...
Lin Su raised his hand: "Didn't everyone say, listen to me? Listen to me and do as I say!"
In the last sentence, he used the power of the literary world, and his voice suddenly rose, and the ears of thousands of people below were buzzing at the same time...
The scene was calmed!
One hundred representatives were selected, with Lin Su and Qiu Mochi in front, followed by a group of old men, heading to the prefect's mansion.
The official seal of Prefect Lei was connected to the Confucian Temple and monitored the whole city. When he suddenly caught this scene, he frowned suddenly and felt as if he had stepped on the ground.
Lin Su asked questions to 23 people, which caused the Zhang family to be hit by the anger of the people. But was Lin Su inciting the mob? No, he was just fulfilling his bet, and that bet was approved by the Holy Will! No one dared to say that he did anything wrong.
If he finally used the remaining power of his victory to organize the people and attack the Zhang Mansion, it would naturally be regarded as incitement. But the problem is that when the mob moved out, Lin Sufei did not add fuel to the flames, and even personally stopped it.
Propose to send representatives to the prefect’s office!
Is there anything wrong with this?
No matter where you go, nothing will go wrong, okay?
But Magistrate Lei suddenly felt vaguely uneasy. He was originally just a theatergoer on the dry shore, holding a Shang Fang sword, looking around the world, acting as a mediator of events, and launching judgments on others at any time. But now, this hot potato was suddenly handed over to his hands. …
He, the outsider, suddenly became an insider.
Is this kid playing some big game?
In fact, he really overestimated Lin Su.
How could Lin Su play chess?
He himself was numb.
He asked Zhang Haoyue to talk about his father's crime, which was indeed a trick. Of course, he was sure that Zhang Haoyue would deny it, and denying it would be lying (how could Zhang Wenyuan not do anything sinister?) Lying about the bet would be enough Use it to your advantage, kill or cripple him, there is no suspense.
As for the remaining 22 people, Lin Su really used it to disgust the Zhang family. His original idea was to make the Zhang family notorious in the local area. He really didn't want to use this to directly destroy the Zhang family, because he knew that this was not possible at all. What is possible is possible. The Zhang family tree has deep roots. How can it be destroyed by just a few rumors?
But he didn't expect that the Zhang family's sins were so deep!
More than 200 lives.
As soon as Zhao Ji opened his mouth, he knew that things would get out of control!
Sure enough, as soon as more than 200 crimes were exposed, the whole city was detonated with anger, and the people became an uproar, which directly merged into a torrent to destroy the Zhang family.
If he really breaks into the Zhang family like this, there is still suspense whether the Zhang family will be destroyed.
He himself, the Lin family, will definitely be destroyed - no doubt about it!
Just kidding, organize tens of thousands of people, ignore the law, and directly level the hometown of the Minister of War! I wonder who in the world can tolerate this?
Not to mention the Minister of War, the emperor would directly order all the participants to be imprisoned. If he, the "organizer", does not come to confiscate the homes and destroy the nine tribes, it will not be tolerated by nature!
Therefore, he must stop it!
The situation has gotten out of control. The only thing that can be done now is to hand over the matter to whom? Local parent officer.
Of course, Lin Su also has a small calculation. According to the local magistrate, it is said that he is a dog of the Zhang family. So good, I will hand this hot potato into your hands and see how you deal with it.
The three hundred government officials in the prefecture were sharpening their knives and were ready to suppress the violence at any time. But suddenly, the situation took a 180-degree turn. The people stopped being violent and became rational. They elected a group of representatives and went to the prefecture to file a complaint. …
How to do it?
The yamen leader didn't know what to do.
Lin Su had already arrived in front of him and cupped his hands: "My lord, please convey this to the magistrate. Hundreds of village elders have asked to see the magistrate to collectively complain about this shocking case. We also hope that the magistrate will accept the holy will and show compassion for the people! He will receive them!" "
Absolutely suave.
This is the famous Jie Yuangong.
The leader of the government officials hesitated for a moment and returned the gift: "Everyone, please wait until I report to your lord before making a decision."
The prefect walked around on the steps twice, and finally sighed: "Let them come in!"
Hundreds of village elders asked for an audience, and the prefect should receive them. This was also an established rule.
Lin Su met with the prefect. The prefect didn't seem to know that he was Jieyuan for this provincial examination. He looked at him with a half-smile but listened to him talk about the case with a smile...
After finishing speaking, the village elders behind started to add.
After some additions, the Zhang family's public opinion that the whole family should be punished and beheaded came to light...
The magistrate said: "What you all said is just hearsay and has no evidence. Based on what the village elders have complained about, our government will select special personnel to investigate and report to you on a selected day."
Lin Su narrowed his eyes slightly: "I don't know what day the Lord Fu mentioned as 'choosing a day'? Can you give me an accurate time?"
The magistrate said: "The public sector must handle cases rigorously. It has not yet started and the case is unknown, so naturally I cannot give you an accurate time."
Everyone was furious, they had known this would be the case.
The prefect is a dog raised by the Zhang family. Is it possible for you to expect a dog to bite its owner?
The so-called investigation of the case is just an excuse, and he will definitely delay it.
Lin Sudao: "Master Fu, can students understand this? It may be ten or twenty years, and there will still be no results."
"I also hope that it will be faster, but the state has national laws and the family has family rules. We can only do our best. Before the situation is unclear, we cannot predict the outcome." The prefect said with amusement in his eyes and answered calmly.
An old man below suddenly stood up: "Since the officials support each other and do not provide justice for the people, then we..."
The old man behind stood up straight at the same time.
The prefect's face suddenly darkened: "What are you doing? Do you want to rebel? I am warning you that anyone who dares to take illegal actions will be punished with violent crimes. Their homes will be confiscated and their clans will be destroyed. No mercy will be given! ...Send off guests!"
Stand up with a puff of sleeves.
