God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1165

admit wrong?

The corner of Du He's mouth rose slightly: "Why did I make a mistake, why should I admit it?"

The county magistrate said: "You arrested people without the order of the county magistrate. This is one. Second, you showed the official document everywhere, but the county magistrate didn't know it. Could it be that you carved the official seal privately?" ? This is a serious crime!"

Gao Yuanzhi put his hands behind his back, snorted coldly, and waited for Du He to confess his crime.

But Du He laughed and said: "First, I am the county magistrate of Wannian County, and I am responsible for catching thieves and safeguarding the safety of the people. According to the laws of my Tang Dynasty, the consent of the county magistrate is not required, so the statement of arresting people without authorization , is not established at all.”

Both Gao Yuanzhi and the county magistrate were taken aback.

They didn't expect that Du He was very clear about the duties of the county lieutenant.

The county magistrate gritted his teeth and said, "Even so, what about your private engraving of the official seal?"

Du He said calmly: "This is approved by Magistrate Gao!"

Before the words finished, Gao Yuanzhi said excitedly: "Nonsense, when did I agree with you to engrave the official seal privately?"

Du He smiled, took out a piece of paper, and waved it in front of Gao Yuanzhi.

It was Gao Yuanzhi's promise to Du He before, Gao Yuanzhi not only signed and stamped it, but also stamped the official seal.

The content of the promise is also simple, that is, Du He will complete the two tasks that Gao Yuanzhi explained within one month, one is the security issue of East Chang'an City, and the other is the issue of tax recovery, and Gao Yuanzhi will fully cooperate with Du He. Gao Yuanzhi had to affix official seals on the official documents that Du He needed.

At that time, the reason why Gao Yuanzhi agreed so simply was because he had his own plan, which was to quickly hide the official seal, claim that the official seal was lost, and refuse to give Du He the official seal.

He widened his eyes and said: "Lieutenant Du, what do you mean? I heard that there are dozens of official documents that you have displayed to the public today. When did this officer stamp your official seal?"

Du He pointed to the promise, and said: "Magistrate Gao, your promise is clearly written, as long as I need official documents, you agree to stamp the official seal... Well, if these official seals are not made by you, you Isn't it a violation of the promise? If you violate the promise, then the agreement between us will no longer exist, and the military order I made will not work. If you stamped these official seals, it would be reasonable. What do you think? ?”

Du He's analysis is well-founded.

But Gao Yuanzhi felt dizzy after hearing this.

He was stupefied and didn't understand what Du He was saying at all.

After a long while, he said: "Co-author, you said all these are all approved by the official?"

"That's right..."

Gao Yuanzhi asked the magistrate, "Is that so?"

The county magistrate nodded: "My lord, it seems to be like this."

Gao Yuanzhi: "..."

He flicked his sleeves: "Okay, County Lieutenant Du, I count you as ruthless, hum! However, these prisoners must be interrogated by the officer. As a county captain, you only have the power to arrest people, but not to interrogate prisoners... If I don’t interrogate you, it’s up to you, hum!”

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Du He turned around and said to Ma San'er and the others: "Everyone, I will trouble you to work hard tonight and watch these guys carefully. Tomorrow, my young master will ask them all clearly and deal with them together."

Zhang San was surprised and said: "My lord, didn't the county magistrate just say that he would not interrogate these people? As a county lieutenant, it seems that you can't interrogate these people, right?"

"My young master has his own way!"

……

The next morning.

Gao Yuanzhi's eyes were red.

He didn't sleep all night.

The concubine who had just been brought into the house suddenly became unscented.

All he wanted was to take revenge on Du He, but after a night, he found nothing.

"Sly, such a sly boy..."

"It really makes no sense!"

Thinking of Du He, Gao Yuanzhi's teeth itch with anger.

Just as he was speaking, he saw the county magistrate coming in a hurry.

The county magistrate said: "Your Excellency, I'm sorry... Lan Mingyu suddenly took away all the good spices that I gave you earlier."

What?
Gao Yuanzhi widened his eyes.

In this day and age, spices are scarce.

A cart of spices is priceless.

The Lan Mingyu that the magistrate spoke of was the father of Mr. Lan.

Lan's father and son are well-known spice merchants in Chang'an City, with a fortune of hundreds of thousands, and they often bribe Gao Yuanzhi.

Now, Lan Mingyu took away the spices delivered a few days ago without saying a word, which is not bad.

Gao Yuanzhi asked nervously, "What does Lan Mingyu mean?"

The county magistrate said helplessly: "It is said that Lan Mingyu claimed to the outside world that he gave you countless benefits, and in the end you also arrested his son in the county government prison. He couldn't bear this tone."

Gao Yuanzhi analyzed with the only brain he had: "He is not declaring this to the outside world, it is clearly a demonstration. He is warning the official that if he does not release his son quickly, he will turn his face completely."

The county magistrate asked: "Then what should we do now? Should we let Mr. Lan go first?"

Gao Yuanzhi frowned: "It's a bit difficult to deal with. Du Xianwei is so determined to deal with Mr. Lan that he doesn't even give me face. He still has my letter of commitment in his hand. If I turn against him, I'll be fine now." If the incident gets out, I'm afraid the impact will be bad... Let me think about it again, you send someone to tell Lan Mingyu, anyway, Mr. Lan is temporarily locked up in prison, with food and drink, and County Captain Du has no right to interrogate him. In a few days, I will think of a way to let him go."

The county lieutenant was about to agree.

But I heard the commotion outside.

Gao Yuanzhi asked, "What's the sound, why is it so noisy?"

The county magistrate shook his head.

"Go and see!"

The two hurriedly walked from the backyard to the front yard.

As soon as he walked near the county government hall, he saw that the front yard was full of people.

Crowded, shoulder to shoulder, very lively, even worse than Dongshi.

Gao Yuanzhi frowned: "Why are there so many people, what's going on?"

An old man glanced at Gao Yuanzhi, did not recognize Gao Yuanzhi's identity, and said carelessly: "You don't know... Today, the newly appointed County Captain Du in Wannian County will personally interrogate Mr. Lan and these rascals. There are 36 people in total. People... how about fairness and justice, all the people can come to watch... Oh, you don't know, I remember that the last Wannian county government interrogated the case more than ten years ago... Now Wannian The county magistrate, I heard that Gao Yuanzhi is nothing but an idiot. If our East Chang'an City hadn't been supported by the Jingzhao government office, it would have been a mess... You say, this kind of dog county magistrate, right? should kill?"

Gao Yuanzhi's neck felt cold.

He glared at the old man, and said angrily: "The county magistrate is not something you can talk about casually, be careful to arrest you and beat you to death."

The old man said disdainfully: "What kind of dog county magistrate, don't let people talk about it. We used to dare to be angry and dare not speak up. Now it's all right. Duke Hu has come to serve as county captain. There is a county captain to protect us. That dog county magistrate What can it do!"

Gao Yuanzhi almost died of anger.

He was scolded by the county magistrate one by one, but it was not easy to have a fit.
