Rebirth: From being expelled from the imperial court to becoming a high-ranking official

It turned out to be the case.

So it was Jin Biao who found Yan Guixiang's family.

It is possible that he wanted to kill Yan Guixiang's family just to vent his anger.

Yu Ru is so docile that anyone who does not please him will be killed. Yan Guixiang has made Jin Biao lose face like that, how could he let it go?

Li Chang analyzed: "Given the relationship between Jin Biao and Wei Chengji, Wei Chengji will definitely not help Yan Guixiang overturn the verdict. There is even a high probability that he knows the truth and is just colluding with Jin Biao."

Qin Yunhe nodded: "If that's the case, then it's meaningless to send the case back for retrial. Wei Chengji will definitely not help Yan Guixiang overturn the verdict. It seems that we still have to bring the case to the hall for trial."

"Zhu Zi, call Wu Bantou over here. I have something for you two to do."

Several squad leaders are veterans in the office, so it would be better to let them handle this kind of thing and take care of Zhuzi at the same time.

What's more, the squad leaders haven't been given any instructions during this period of time, and it would be easy for them to feel uneasy if things go on like this for a long time.

Soon, the leader of the fast class, Wu, followed Zhuzi in.

"Sir, do you have something to tell me?"

"Yes. There are still some doubts about the Jin Yan family's adultery case mentioned earlier. You will take Zhuzi with you to Buyeo County later. I have two things to tell you during this trip.

One is that you go there and inquire privately about the relationship between Jin Biao and Yan, as well as the details of what happened before and after Yan's escape.

Then take the official letter to the Fuyu County Office. I have decided to bring the case to the Office for trial. However, Jin Yanshi has been punished, and I don't know her condition at the moment. You go there to see her condition first, and you can decide whether to come to the Office."

After hearing Qin Yunhe's arrangement, Li Chang said, "Sir, let Wu Bantou take Zhang San and Li Si with him.

Wu Bantou and his men were unfamiliar with the place and were afraid it would be difficult to find out. Although Zhuzi was also from Buyeo County, he probably didn't know anyone in the county town, right?

Zhang San, Li Si, Sanjiao Jiuliu know a lot of people, let them go and ask, it will be more efficient. "

Qin Yunhe nodded: "Okay."

Soon, Wu Bantou got the official letter and set off with Zhuzi, Zhang San and Li Si.

----

Soon, the group arrived in Fuyu County.

When Zhang San and Li Si arrived, they went around looking for people to inquire about the news, while Wu Bantou took Zhuzi to the county government office.

"My brother, I am the team leader of the Xu Ning Prefecture's Procuratorate. I have been ordered to come here on official business. Please inform him." Team leader Wu bowed and said to the officer on duty outside the Buyeo County Government Office.

When the man heard that it was the foreman who came to the hall on official business, he naturally did not dare to neglect him and said in return: "Thank you for your hard work, I will report it right away. You two can go inside and have a cup of tea first."

Wu Bantou and Zhuzi were invited to a small hall for tea, and the officer hurried inside to find his own Bantou and Dianshi.

Zhuzi sat in the county government office, feeling indescribable.

The last time he went to the county government office, he was shackled and treated as a prisoner, suffering humiliation.

Now he was invited into the county government office in official uniform and treated like a distinguished guest.

Before he could sigh with emotion, he heard footsteps outside. Soon, two people entered the small hall.

"Ah, I'm sorry for not welcoming you here." The official bowed as he entered the room.

Wu Bantou quickly stood up and returned the greeting: "How dare I. I guess it must be the Dianshi Lord?"

"Exactly. What's the name of this squad leader?"

"My name is Wu Shou, and I'm the head of the express shift at the government office."

"Oh - Captain Wu. I wonder what business you have here?"

Wu Bantou took out the official letter from his pocket and presented it with both hands: "This time, I am here on the order of the Magistrate to bring the case of Jin Yan's adultery to the hall for retrial."

The Dianshi was stunned when he heard this: "Haven't I already written down the time and process clearly? Why is it not finished yet? How can I explain this to the magistrate?"

Thinking this in his heart, the Dianshi did not show it on his face, but just said in a businesslike manner: "I see. This matter still needs to be reported to the county magistrate. I will report it to the county magistrate immediately."

Wu Bantou naturally knew that this was the normal procedure, so he said, "Then I'll have to trouble the Dianshi Lord."

On this side, the registrar was discussing official business with squad leader Wu, while on the other side, the squad leader who followed the registrar in was staring at the pillar.

He recognized Zhuzi as soon as he came in, and Zhuzi naturally recognized him at a glance.

The two looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.

After the official business was handed over, Wu Bantou said goodbye and left with Zhuzi.

After they left, the squad leader who followed them in said to the Dianshi: "Sir, did you see the yamen runner following squad leader Wu?"

The Dianshi hurried to report to Wei Chengji, and said nonchalantly: "What yamen runner? I didn't notice. What happened to the yamen runner?"

"That bailiff is the one that Magistrate Qin had interceded for before!"

In fact, the Dianshi should have seen Zhuzi once, but he just didn't remember what he looked like.

When the squad leader mentioned it, he paused and asked, "Is it him?"

"Isn't it him? How did he become a bailiff in the hall?"

The Dianshi said nonchalantly, "This is normal. The person who can make Qin Tuiguan come to plead for mercy must be very close. It is natural for him to bring a confidant he trusts with him when he takes office."

The squad leader hesitated and asked, "Will he bear a grudge and make things difficult for us?"

The Dianshi thought it was ridiculous: "He is just a yamen runner, not even a squad leader, how can he cause trouble to us?"

After saying this, the Dianshi did not dare to delay any longer, so he left his shift and went to report to Wei Chengji himself.

"You really don't know how to appreciate my kindness!" Wei Chengji waved his hand and swept the inkstone beside him to the ground, and the black ink spilled all over the floor.

The Dianshi was trembling with fear, fearing that Wei Chengji would blame him again.

Wei Chengji paced back and forth in front of his desk in annoyance for two times before he calmed down.

If I had known earlier, I should not have followed Jin Biao's idea of ​​counter-suing. If I had decided that Yan Guixiang had made a false accusation and asked him to take the person back to deal with it himself, or sent it to the village elders for decision, none of this would have happened.

But now that things have developed to this point, it is impossible to withdraw.

"So how is Yan Guixiang doing now?"

"He's still alive. Even though it's been over a month, he still can't move much. After all, he was beaten with eighty sticks."

"Didn't they say she was in poor health and took medicine all the time? She's still alive after being beaten with eighty sticks, it's really weird."

The Dianshi said carefully: "Mr. Jin would not let her die like this..."

Wei Chengji naturally understood what the Dianshi meant, and he felt a little annoyed with Jin Biao.

"Then take the foreman of the hall to the prison first. If he insists on going to the hall, then we can do it."

This matter became more and more troublesome. Not only did he regret it, he even wanted to stop caring about it.

If the court overturned the case, at best he would be accused of being unclear about the case and be reprimanded by the provincial inspector. At worst...if they found out what he and Jin Biao had done, things would be difficult to handle...

The more Wei Chengji thought about it, the angrier he became. He kicked the inkstone on the ground and it hit the wall with a clanging sound.

----

Everything was arranged, and during the day off, Qin Yunhe asked someone to invite his senior brother Gu Zhilai to his house for a gathering.

When Qin Yunhe first arrived, he had already paid a visit to his senior brother and the prefect. Now that he had sorted out the affairs of the government office, he wanted to invite his senior brother to come and sit with him.

One was for the two of them to have a chat, and the other was to let his senior brother come and take a look at his yamen to reassure him.

There was no need for the two brothers to be polite, so they met in the inner court.

Qin Yunhe asked the cook to prepare a few dishes and bought some wine. The brothers ate, drank and talked together, and they seemed to be in great harmony and comfort.

Today was a day off, so Liu Dianshi didn't need to come to the yamen. But he had forgotten something important at the yamen, and luckily it wasn't far from home, so he came to the yamen to get it.

When he arrived, he saw Qin Yunhe seeing Gu Zhi off from afar.

The two were talking and laughing, and Gu Zhi even patted Qin Yunhe on the shoulder. The two looked very close.

Liu Dianshi naturally recognized Gu Zhi and was shocked: What's going on? It's only been a few days, how come the magistrate is so familiar with the Tongzhi?

He understands that you need to keep in touch with your boss on a regular basis.

However, it has only been a few days, and the prosecutor was able to directly invite the deputy magistrate to his home as a guest?

Could it be that I have underestimated this new superior?

Thinking that Qin Yunhe didn't seem to have arranged any important matters for him these days, Liu Dianshi suddenly became a little panicked.
