Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 61
When Zhizhou saw it, he was even angrier, and ordered the two officials who came with him: "Huh! They won't do anything, you come! Hit me, hard!"

Just as the two were about to move, the governor Zhao Youren, who had been watching coldly, said, "Is this the punishment?"

"I still haven't heard what Qin Feng did."

"Master Zhizhou, otherwise, why don't you tell me first?"

Zhizhou's two subordinates stopped immediately.

Although the governor speaks slowly, the governor is the governor, much bigger than their lords.

The governor has spoken, and the two officials dare not act casually.

Zhizhou opened his mouth: "Uh... this..."

Why is the governor still asking about the case?You are an official from Guangxi, this has nothing to do with you...

Zhizhou complained in his heart.

But the complaints are the complaints, since the adults have spoken, he can't pretend not to hear, he can only state it patiently.

"My lord, in this case, a group of squires in Ninghai County sued Qin Feng, the magistrate of the county, for corrupting the law, suppressing bandits and fraudulent donations, and defrauding them of their silver taels, a total of more than [-] taels of silver."

"As the magistrate of Dengzhou, I can't absolve myself of the blame for such a scum who despises the imperial court. Therefore, I came to Ninghai County to uphold justice for the people and told Qin Feng to spit out all the stolen money."

"In a few days, the subordinate officials will also inform the government of Qin Feng's corruption, and then the magistrate will play it in front of the emperor, and dismiss this greedy and corrupt official!"

"As a county magistrate, you don't make decisions for the people, and you still think about searching for them all day long, it's really abominable!"

The governor raised his eyebrows: "Suppressing bandits and fraudulent donations? What's going on, let me hear it?"

"Uh……"

Zhizhou opened his mouth, but he has never experienced this before, so how can he tell?

He had no choice but to ask Zhang Shun, Hu Lai and other squires for help: "Hey, why don't you make it clear to the governor quickly?"

Zhang Shun and Hu Lai looked at each other, thinking that the governor was just curious, so he opened his mouth to tell how Qin Feng found them, met bandits to perform in a play, they donated money, and then tricked the people into donating too, and finally divided the money, and Qin Feng's dishonesty, collection I have said from beginning to end that the money will not be refunded.

The narration of the two first made the people dumbfounded.

They had never heard of such a thing.

After finishing speaking, the people were full of anger again!
According to what the squires said, Qin Feng should mobilize them to donate, but these days, Qin Feng has never mentioned the matter of donating, and mobilized many people, and successfully returned the bandits.

Although it was said that on the day when the bandits were suppressed, Qin Feng had long ordered that no one should be left behind, but that day, swords and soldiers were everywhere on the street, clanging and clanging. Nine is not far from ten.

That's real work!

The bandits were killed by soldiers borrowed by Qin Feng, and the blood flowed all over the street. It was really not a show at all!
This is the truth!
The gentry said that Qin Feng traditionally played bandits, and the acting could save more than 100 lives to perform?Just fart!
However, due to the sharp eyes of the governor just now, even though the people were full of anger, they dared not speak for a while.

They could only stare wide-eyed, blushed, and clenched their fists loudly, wishing they could rush to the lobby right now and beat up those country gentry.

After hearing the general idea, the governor frowned.

What the country gentry said was completely different from the story he heard from the yamen servant Zhao Yi.

It is not luck and connections that the governor can sit in today's position.

With his piercing eyes, he knew from the reaction of the common people that this matter was definitely not that simple.

But the problem is, he listened to Zhang Shun and Hu Lai's narration, it seems that these two people are not lying.

This is really interesting.

"Interesting, I have entered Ninghai County, and I have also heard the people talking about suppressing bandits, but what I heard is not the same as what you said..."

Zhao Youren said leisurely: "Master Zhizhou, since you want to torture Qin Feng, what evidence do you already have?"

"Uh……"

Zhizhou clenched his fist nervously, shook his head and said, "No."

"Then besides the plaintiff, what other witnesses can prove that Qin Feng has indeed embezzled money?"

"Uh……"

"nor."

The governor's squinted eyes suddenly widened, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and he blamed: "There is neither evidence nor testimony. Then why do you use the punishment? Are you not afraid of being beaten into a trick and causing an unjust case?"

"You are also a magistrate, and this is how you usually settle cases?"

The governor's last sentence raised his voice suddenly, and Na Zhizhou broke into a cold sweat from fright, and bowed like a shrimp.

"Lord Governor, calm down... This... Although there are no witnesses and evidence... but so many gentry sued Qin Feng together, I don't think there will be anything wrong..."

"What nonsense!"

The governor slapped the table, and the teacups on the table jumped from his slap.

"Then the official said that you, Bu Congming, were corrupt and broke the law, so can you also be punished? Huh?"

"I'm the governor. My words should be more convincing than these gentry! Isn't it?"

The governor's voice was not loud, but it was deafening. Hearing that Zhizhou's ears and eyes were buzzing, his mind suddenly became a mess, and he subconsciously nodded and replied, "Uh... yes, yes yes yes."

"Yes? Humph, that's good, come here, hold Bu Congming down, torture me, and tell him to spit out the money he embezzled from the treasury!"

The governor got up, took a few steps forward, took out a token, and threw it on the ground.

Zhizhou suddenly lost his soul, fell to his knees with a thud, and quickly changed his words: "No, no, no... no! Governor, I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong!"

"Humph!"

The governor flicked his sleeves, sat back, picked up the teacup, took a sip, saw that Zhizhou was still kneeling there, and said leisurely, "Why are you still kneeling there? The case is clear?"

"Uh...yes, my officer, I will re-interrogate you."

Zhizhou stood up as if he had received an amnesty, and returned to his seat to wipe off his cold sweat.

The case can be re-judged, how should it be judged?

When Zhizhou was worried, the common people were happy and talked with each other in low voices.

"It seems that the governor is a good official!"

"That's right, I thought the governor was also here to bully our Lord Qin. Now it seems that he is here to help our Lord Qin get out of the siege!"

"Hmph, with the support of the governor, let's see what kind of waves can be made in this prefecture and these squires!"

"Great. Mr. Qin's official position should be regarded as saved now!"

"Since the governor is in charge, we don't have to be afraid. If we need to testify later, no one can hold back!"

"Yes! Whoever doesn't stand up is a turtle bastard!"
