Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

cold!

Pooh!

Changsun Wuji was already unhappy, but after drinking the herbal tea, he felt even more distressed.

"The old man didn't target you."

Changsun Wuji said lightly: "The old man just wants to drive you out of the court! As for why, there is no reason!"

There is no reason to say that!

I can't tell you that she was supposed to be the daughter-in-law of my eldest grandson's family, but you snatched her away! ?

Can Zhang Dun understand this sentence and not say it, if His Majesty finds out, why not scold him bloody?

It is even possible that he committed the wrath of the emperor and lost his post as Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Changsun Wuji stared at Zhang Dun, and said word by word: "The old man still said the same thing, telling you to close the case directly, do you agree or not?"

"If you agree, after you close the case, the old man will let the doctor of the imperial history read a book for you."

"Afterwards, the old man will personally go to the mansion of Changping County Duke and ask them to appoint a person to plead guilty. Your Ten Thousand Years Order will be deemed to be over."

"Wouldn't it be great if you could continue to be your cook in Chang'an City in the future?"

Zhang Dun was silent for a few seconds, looked up at him, and asked, "How does the deceased Shu Die's family explain?"

"Explain what?" Changsun Wuji frowned, and said, "It's just the death of a girl from a good family, what kind of waves can it cause?"

"You don't really intend to offend Duke Changping for the sake of an ordinary citizen?"

"Are you full?"

"Or are you crazy?"

"Master Changping, do you know who it is? Zhang Liang!"

Changsun Wuji put down the teacup in his hand, and said in a cold voice: "If you offend him, he will make it difficult for you to move in the court, and it's just a matter of one word."

Zhang Dun was silent again, stood up for a long time, and said indifferently: "Then let him come."

"Boneless." Changsun Wuji laughed and said, "You really don't intend to follow the old man's suggestion?"

Zhang Dun looked at him with a calm face, and said in a deep voice: "Shangsun Shangshu, you send me a suggestion, and the official also sends a few words to Shangsun Shangshu."

"Your salary, your salary, the fat of the people, the anointment of the people."

"The people are easy to abuse, but the heavens are hard to bully!"

After all, Zhang Dun turned around and walked towards the office of the Ministry of Officials, and said at the same time:

"The next official is determined not to be an official, but he will never leave like this."

"Since the lower official has become the ten thousand year order, he will do his duty well."

"This case is full of doubts. All signs indicate that Shu Die's death was involved in the residence of the Duke of Changping."

"If you don't find out the truth, how will you give an explanation to the people of Wannian County? How will you give an explanation to the family of the deceased?"

"Human life is at stake, it's not a child's play."

"Liu Que is undoubtedly the criminal, but whether there is a mastermind behind the scenes still needs to be investigated."

"If not, the lower officials will bring him to justice and sue the people."

"If there is really a mastermind behind it, then this person must pay the price!"

"Farewell!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Dun cupped his hands, no longer slowed down, and left quickly.

"Good boy."

Changsun Wuji looked at his leaving back and grinned.

What he said just now was intended to provoke Zhang Dun.

He believed that with Zhang Dun's personality, he would never follow his advice.

Changsun Wuji didn't want him to listen to him, he just wanted him to target the people in Changping County's mansion!

If he closes the case hastily, he will indeed be dismissed from office.

But what about after dismissal?

Princess Changle has nothing to do with him?

In the end, he can still be a son-in-law!

You can still be the emperor's son-in-law!

But what if he offended Duke Changping?

Changsun Wuji lightly dipped his fingers into the water in the teacup, and wrote on the copybook with a smile on his face.

Duke Changping, but a mad dog.

If he were to be targeted by him, it would be much more uncomfortable than being dismissed from office!

----

"Sir, why do you look so ugly?"

Outside Suzaku's door, Hu Quhe obediently stood under the carriage and waited. When he saw Zhang Dun coming out, he hurried up to meet him.

Seeing that his expression was different, Hu Quhe was puzzled.

Zhang Dun took a deep breath and told her about the conversation with Changsun Wuji.

Hu Quhe's pretty face was furious when she heard this, and she said indignantly: "How can the eldest grandson Shangshu say such a thing, this is a human life!"

"Besides, that Shu Die was not for money, she was cheated!"

Zhang Dun was silent for a few seconds, and asked, "Do you think it's Changsun Wuji's problem?"

Seeing Hu Quhe nodded heavily, Zhang Dun sighed, "But there are so many people who think like him."

If it's just an eldest grandson Wuji, it's an exception at best.

However, there are too many people in the world who think like Changsun Wuji.

Zhang Dun suddenly felt that the burden on the shoulders of the county magistrate was heavier than he thought.

Just like Wang Xun, the previous Wannian Commander, he had already planned to hastily close the case in order to sell the face of the Duke of Changping.

It's not even impossible to release the criminal!

Hu Quhe looked at Zhang Dun and asked, "Sir, are you planning to investigate this case thoroughly?"

Zhang Dun didn't say anything, but looked up in the direction of Wannian County, and said softly:

"If you have a wronged person, you have a debtor. If you kill someone, you pay your life. If you owe money, you pay your debts."

Chapter 150 The People from the Changping County Government Have Arrived

"Magistrate Zhang, you are back!"

Taking Hu Quhe back to the county government office, Zhang Dun saw Dong Xiancheng and Che Xianwei walking over anxiously.

Zhang Dun asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Someone is here from our county government." Dong Xiancheng said with a hint of anxiety in his tone: "Someone from Changping County Government!"

Um?Zhang Dun's eyes froze. What are the people from the Changping County Government doing at this time?

Logically speaking, people from the Changping County Government should be afraid to avoid this case.

However, they sent someone over!

Is it because of that Liu Que?

What the two people in front of him said at the beginning came to Zhang Dun's mind. Liu Que used to be a part of the Changping County Government.

For a part that was driven away.

Duke Changping still remembers his old love?

Didn't he know that Liu Que had killed someone?

The more involved it is, the more unfavorable it is to them. How dare you send someone at this time?

Zhang Dun thought for a while and asked, "Where is the man?"

"The lobby of the government office." Dong Xiancheng hurriedly said, "I've been here for a while."

"Let him go to court."

Zhang Dun pondered and said, "I'm waiting for him there."

Dong Xiancheng and Che Xianwei were stunned.

Go to court to see him?

The court is the place where criminals are tried.

Dong Xiancheng hesitated for a moment, and said: "Magistrate Zhang, in the past, when people with some status came to our Wannian County, they would always be in the lobby of the government office. Seeing you in the courtroom is like interrogating a prisoner. Isn't it good?"

Zhang Dun asked back: "What do you think the people from the Changping County Government came to the Wannian Order for?"

Dong Xiancheng raised his forehead, "It should be for the crime of Liu Que."

"That's it." Zhang Dun said with a smile on his face: "This case has already involved the Changping County Government. Now the Changping County Government has sent someone over. Should I meet him in court?"

"You tell the person who came here, if he doesn't want to meet in court, he will let him go back!"

"Let the Changping County Government send someone who is willing to meet in court!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Dun took Hu Quhe to pass them by and walked to the court.

Dong Xiancheng and Che Xianwei looked at each other, and finally the two of them bit the bullet and went to the lobby of the county government office to inform the people from the Changping County Government.

Soon, not long after Zhang Dun sat on the top plan in the county government hall, he saw Dong Xiancheng and Che Xianwei walking in with an old man in his 50s wearing a Futou.

The old man was wearing a dark blue gown, his face was cold, he walked in angrily, and when he saw the young man sitting in the courtroom, he said angrily:

"I'm Zhang Yan, the housekeeper of Changping County, and I've seen County Magistrate Zhang."

"Magistrate Zhang, I have a question. Please tell me, magistrate Zhang. I come from the mansion of Changping County. Why do you talk in the court instead of the lobby?"

Zhang Dun looked at him, looked up and down, and after a long time, he slowly said: "If I want to answer you, you should answer me first, why did you come to the Wannian County Government Office?"

"For Liu Que!" Butler Zhang said without hesitation.

Zhang Dun smiled, "That's why I want to meet you in court."

"Liu Que is a criminal. If you come here for Liu Que, that's business. If you do business, you should meet in court."

"Steward Zhang, since you want to talk about business, you can speak directly here."

Butler Zhang's expression was uncertain, he took a deep breath for a long time, and said, "Since County Magistrate Zhang thinks this is a business matter, I will speak up."

"Dare to ask County Magistrate Zhang, what crime should a person commit against Liu Que?"

Zhang Dun tilted his head and looked at him, "Don't you understand the laws of the Tang Dynasty? He killed someone and committed a capital crime. If he kills someone, he must pay with his life."

Steward Zhang cupped his hands in awe, and said, "Then the matter will be easy to handle, Changping County Government, why should he pay for his atonement?"

"According to the laws of my Tang Dynasty, the redemption of copper can be punished by death."

Hearing this, Zhang Dun was silent for a few seconds.

Hu Quhe's pretty face was full of anger, and she couldn't help but want to refute him, but suddenly seeing Zhang Dun's gaze looking over, she couldn't help swallowing her words.

Zhang Dun frowned.

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, redemption of copper can indeed be used to offset crimes.

As long as it is not a heinous crime and the amount of redemption copper is sufficient, the death penalty of the murderer can be reduced by one level, from the death penalty to exile.

If you spend a little more money...

Exile can make the crime less serious.

"Magistrate Zhang, don't you agree?" Seeing that Zhang Dun did not speak for a long time, Butler Zhang's eyes turned cold, and he said, "The redemption of copper is clearly recorded in my Tang law. I don't know why Magistrate Zhang is late." Is it up to you whether you will return later or not? Will Magistrate Zhang agree, or not?"

"If Magistrate Zhang refuses to agree, I will go to Dali Temple, go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, ask what happened, and see how they can give an explanation to the Changping County Government."
