Daxianguan

Chapter 160
Chu Xian didn't panic in the slightest, but shook his head: "I don't know where the crime is, please ask Mr. Lu to explain."

"I don't know, Chu Xian, you are in either side, and you are in charge of a county. I ask you, what is the most important thing for you to be the head of a county?" Lu Jianzhi asked with a sneer.

Chu Xian replied seriously: "Naturally, the people who rule the land are the largest."

"You still know?" Lu Jianzhi's voice increased a few times. At this moment, he took out something and threw it over, and shouted loudly: "Look at what this is?"

Those things were a few pieces of paper with something red on them, and they fell on the ground at this moment. Qi Chengxiang, Jiang Yuan and others wanted to help them pick them up, but Chu Xian stopped them, and then he lowered his head to pick up the papers on the ground and examined them carefully.

Above is a charge.

He listed many of his 'crimes', such as arrogance, corruption, perversion of the law, enriching one's own pockets, harming the people, in short, the most slanderous words, such dirty water, it is unbearable to look directly at it, and the smell is unbearable.Of course, this crime is well written, and many of them are misinterpretations of Chu Xian's government orders, especially Chu Xian's order to arrest those villagers who did not cooperate with the relocation orders. Use it to make a big fuss.

In addition, there are a lot of signatures. At a rough glance, there must be thousands of names, all of which are blood-red. If there is no accident, this is the so-called 'Blood Letter of Ten Thousand People's Wishes'.

After Chu Xian finished reading and folded them, Lu Jianzhi said, "Chu Xian, what else do you have to say?"

Chu Xian shook his head: "There is nothing to say, and there is nothing to say."

Lu Jianzhi thought that Chu Xian had pleaded guilty by himself, and just about to speak, he heard Chu Xian say: "Such baseless slander and slander must be verified by Mr. Lu before he can convict this official. I must cooperate with Mr. Lu in investigating the case."

After finishing speaking, he said to Jiang Yuan next to him: "Master Jiang, arrange the county official residence for Lord Lu to live in, and you must not neglect Lord Yushi. Oh, by the way, let the cook cook more carefully."

After that, he actually said goodbye and left.

At the moment, all the people present were stunned and speechless, including the supervisory censor, Lu Jianzhi.

Jiang Yuan opened his mouth so wide that he could almost stuff a steamed bun into it.

They were all screaming in their hearts, Lord Chu, this is the supervisory censor, how dare you say such a thing, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that Chu Xian's response seems, seems, may, and is correct.

There are etiquettes and attitudes, and what Chu Xian said is also very reasonable, because if the supervisory censor wants to investigate the local officials for some reason, then he must find out whether he is really involved in the case, whether he is really corrupt and perverting the law, that's good There is solid evidence to convict.

This is a rule and a process that must be followed.

The only abnormal thing is that Master Chu is too calm.

When other officials saw the supervisory censor coming to investigate themselves, they were so frightened that they even knelt down and pleaded guilty on the spot, because they knew that their affairs would not stand up to investigation.

Chu Xian is completely different.

The officials who followed Lu Jianzhi were all very angry at the moment, saying that Chu Xian was really arrogant and not polite, but after Lu Jianzhi, the inspector censor, was stunned, he did not get angry.

"Officials, don't be afraid in the face of danger, don't be in a bad mood when encountering major events, this Chu Xian is interesting!" Lu Jianzhi said, with a kind of appreciation in his tone.

Who is Lu Jianzhi?

He is the supervisor of the censor, and sometimes, a pair of eyes with the holy power of the official law can tell whether there is any problem with an official, whether there is a ghost in his heart.

But today, when he looked at Chu Xian, the other party's aura had not fluctuated from the beginning, and he was upright, facing his questioning without any guilt.

This shows that either Chu Xian's acting skills are superb, or he really has a clear conscience.

When he didn't see anyone at the beginning, Lu Jianzhi really didn't feel good about Chu Xian. After all, the bloody book of the common people's complaint was in front of him, and before that, he visited some people on the road, and they were very fond of Chu Xian. There are criticisms.

But seeing the real person, Lu Jianzhi knew that this matter really needs to be investigated.

"However, the censor inspector, the official has to be temporarily suspended, and can no longer exercise the power of governing the land. Where is the head of Dinghai County?" Lu Jianzhi asked at this time.

The sweaty Jiang Yuan hurried forward to answer.

"From today onwards, I will temporarily resign from the position of Chu Xian's county magistrate, and you will act as county magistrate. As for the Chu Xian's official position, it will be determined after supervision." In one sentence, Chu Xian's official position was dismissed.

This is the power to supervise the censor.

That's why the local officials are afraid of the censor. If they are below the eighth rank, they will be exempted if they say so.Moreover, under normal circumstances, the officials who were dismissed by the censor almost never returned to their posts, because the supervisory censor would not be indiscriminate, and there must be a lot of trouble before a local official would be supervised.

The news of Chu Xian's dismissal immediately spread throughout Dinghai County.

Some people applauded, and even the few wealthy families whose land was expropriated hired people to beat drums and gongs, some people regretted it, and some people felt helpless.

Hearing this news, Chu Xian was not surprised.

This time Lu Jianzhi, the supervisory censor of Liangzhou, came unexpectedly. This was unexpected by Chu Xian. , because of some decrees, but put himself into a passive position.

If there is no blood letter of the petition, the supervisory censor will not be alarmed, and just heard a few days ago that Lu Jianzhi came so soon, the news spread too fast.

Unless, someone deliberately sent the petition to Yushifu.

No need to ask, it must be Wu Degui.

The other party's purpose was to attack him and take the opportunity to seize power, so this trick of borrowing a knife to kill people was not bad.Chu Xian knew that in Dinghai County, Jiang Yuan and Xia Bozhong alone could compete with Wu Degui, but Chu Xian didn't want the two of them to waste their energy fighting Wu Degui.

What's more, Chu Xian is very upset now.

I didn't talk to Wu Degui before, it wasn't that Master Chuxian let Wu Degui go, but he planned to put him aside first, and then go back to deal with him after the matter of the Yaozu was resolved.

But now, the plan has to go ahead.

"Qi Daochang!" Chu Xian called out at this moment, and Qi Chengxiang immediately walked into the study from the outside, waiting for orders.

"I'll carry out what I told you earlier." After Chu Xian said something, Qi Chengxiang knew what it was and immediately took the order to leave.

In Wu Degui's house, he heard that Chu Xian was dismissed from office by the supervisory censor, so he was naturally very excited, and excitedly set up a banquet to celebrate.

Wu Degui has already made plans to go to the county government office tomorrow. Anyway, he said he was sick at home before, and now is the time for him to go out again.

He is the county lieutenant, the chief officer of the county defense. At that time, he will have to look over the affairs of the county defense, and it will be easy to find out whether Chu Xian has enriched himself.

In this matter, Wu Degui felt that it was likely to be the case, because the county defense was a fat man who made money, and he could get a lot of money by just hooking his fingers. He didn't believe that Chu Xian didn't make any money.

As long as one is found, Chu Xian's crime will be confirmed.

"The surname Chu makes you crazy. Feng Shui turns around here." Wu Degui sneered, and his buddy Zhang Zhong, the county historian, accompanied him, naturally complimenting Wu Degui.

At this moment, someone rushed in from outside in a panic.

"Sir, it's not good."

"What's the matter? Yelling, what's the matter?" Wu Degui was displeased and scolded, but when he saw that the man was his confidant, he suddenly felt a jump in his heart, with an ominous premonition.

"It's not good, it's not good, Cai Wenshu's family members were taken away just now, and those of us guarding over there were all beaten unconscious, tied up in the courtyard of Cai Wenshu's house, and stripped of their clothes. "The confidant cried.

When Wu Degui heard this, his complexion changed wildly.

Even the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground without knowing it.

"What, what's going on?" Wu Degui asked, and the confidant said, not long ago, several masked men rushed into Cai Wenshu's house, knocked their people unconscious, and took away Cai Wenshu's mother and wife. Youngest son.

As for who those people are, they don't know at all.

"broken!"

Wu Degui thought of something, and immediately got up and was about to go out. At this moment, someone came in in a hurry to announce that it was Mr. Lu, the supervisory censor.

Wu Degui's legs gave way in fright, and he sat on the chair.

Lu Jianzhi didn't have any friendship with him. If he came here at this moment, it must be someone who came here with bad intentions. In addition, Cai Wenshu's family members were taken away suddenly. Wu Degui was almost sure that Chu Xian was behind the scenes.

Moreover, the other party must be holding a trump card against him. Who would have thought that Chu Xian would fight back so quickly.

Originally, Wu Degui planned to find an opportunity to kill Cai Wenshu in the prison, an accidental death with no proof, but now, he was a step too late.

He was fast enough to deal with Chu Xian, and Chu Xian's counterattack was even faster.

Lu Jianzhi stepped in, followed by a group of soldiers. After entering, Wu Degui was detained directly. Unlike Chu Xian, someone petitioned to investigate Chu Xian before, but it was just suspicion and there was no real evidence.But now Wu Degui is not the case. Someone reported it with evidence, and Cai Wenshu in the cell also said that he wanted to point Wu Degui's criminal evidence.

Cai Wenshu was an extremely crucial person, he knew too many things about Wu Degui, so if Cai Wenshu turned his back on him, Wu Degui would have no chance at all.

It's just that Cai Wenshu seemed to be forgotten before. Chu Xian never mentioned what to do with Cai Wenshu, so this also paralyzed Wu Degui. Now that I think about it, I regret it.

But Wu Degui knew that he might not have a chance, and the supervisory censor had to prove the testimonies, so he still had a chance, as long as someone helped him.

But if he wanted to regain control of Dinghai County, it would be impossible, because in the process of verifying the evidence, he would not be able to become a county lieutenant, and unlike Chu Xian, his situation was more serious. His officer was arrested and he was imprisoned pending trial.

This is called lifting a rock to shoot oneself in the foot. If Lu Jianzhi does not come, Chu Xian will use the same method to deal with him, but he still cannot do it, because he has to report to the city government, and the city government official will come down to Dinghai County to deal with it.

It's better now to bypass the city mansion directly, because the supervisory censor has the privilege of supervising local officials, so even if the current Zhenxi city mansion wants to intervene, it can't do it.

"Okay, it's a good move to kill with a knife." Wu Degui also realized that Chu Xian was using his strength to fight. Originally, without Lu Jianzhi, the other party really didn't dare to deal with him directly, but when Lu Jianzhi came, the other party dared up.

Does this count as suicide.

Wu Degui sighed, he bowed his head in silence, with a gray face.
