Nongmen Xianggong is a koi

Chapter 122
"The magistrate is here. He arrived before dawn in the morning. It is said that someone accused County magistrate Zou of being corrupt and breaking the law. He indulged his relatives in the family to run amok outside and seize the people's money and property. At this moment, the magistrate is interrogating magistrate Zou at the county government office. Woolen cloth!"

"When the magistrate arrived at the county government office, he ordered the gate guards to tell us that if they came across people who claimed to be Jiangjia Village and brought along those pretending to be government servants, they would take them to the county government office."

"Everyone, please follow me."

The guard led the way.

Jiang Mixia, Jiang Zhengxin and others followed first.

Compared with the uneasy feeling on the way just now, the people in Jiangjia Village were all excited when they heard that the magistrate came to question the county magistrate and investigate the county magistrate's conniving of family members to bully others.

"God has opened his eyes. At this juncture, the magistrate is here, and the magistrate will definitely be the master of our village."

"Evil does not overwhelm righteousness. If you do too many bad things, you will definitely suffer retribution. Isn't retribution coming?"

"Hey, tell me, is it just a coincidence that the magistrate came here? There was an accident in our Jiangjia Village yesterday, and the magistrate arrived at the county seat in the middle of the night?"

"If you want to say that, didn't the poor man just say that, and told them to wait for our Jiangjia Village people at the gate of the city. The magistrate already knows about our Jiangjia Village?"

"Looking at the situation, it seems to be..."

The villagers of Jiangjia Village were discussing here, and Jiang Mixia and Jiang Zhengxin were also very surprised.

Why did the magistrate come, and why did he find out about Jiangjia Village so quickly?
As for these two questions, when Jiang Mixia and Jiang Zhengxin arrived at the gate of the county government office and saw the smiling Xun Yuanbai, they roughly guessed the reason behind them.

And Xun Yuanbai did not wait for Jiang Mixia and his party to speak, he stroked his beard first, "Don't thank me, this is not to help you, but I am really angry in my heart!"

At such an old age, when has he suffered such grievances?
Don't give these bastards a look, they'll just think he's just a charlatan who's still cheating!
He has spent so many years of energy, if he can't even settle this small matter, then his reputation as a celestial master is really useless!

So without further ado, he hired a carriage to go to Fucheng when he arrived in the town, and found Zhao Zhifu.

Zhao Zhifu is a side branch of the Zhao family in the capital city. When it comes to careful discussion, it is necessary to call the current Zhao Ge old uncle, and the Zhao family always pays attention to mutual support between the direct line and side branches, so as to ensure the continuation of the glory of the Zhao family.

Therefore, although the prefect of Zhao is a local official, he has a close relationship with the Zhao family in the capital. He is aware of the situation in the capital. He even met Xun Yuanbai when he went to the capital to participate in the official assessment. He also knows the importance of Xun Yuanbai in front of the emperor. .

Zhao Zhifu himself is also a person with long sleeves and good dancers. After hearing Xun Yuanbai's general description, he rushed here almost without any delay and asked County Magistrate Zou.

The appointment, transfer, and dismissal of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty required the emperor's nod. Logically speaking, the magistrate did not have the right to directly dispose of or dismiss a county magistrate.

However, the magistrate can appeal to the imperial court, and restrain, investigate, and hold the county magistrate accountable.

The first level of government officials crushed people to death. The prefect of Zhao attached great importance to this matter this time, and had to investigate carefully, and the prefect of Zhao had a backer to speak for him.

Jiang Mixia, Jiang Zhengxin and others knew the whole story of the prefect Zhao's visit to the county government office, and the prefect Zhao questioned them in the courtroom when he learned that their group had arrived at the county government office.

There is no need to add oil and vinegar, Jiang Mixia, Jiang Zhengxin and others only truthfully described the scene at that time, and finally stamped their fingerprints on the testimony.

Zhao Zhifu is a middle-sized man with a slightly square face, facing a decent-looking middle-aged man. After asking the question, he walked directly from behind the case. Almost made it clear."

"In the early years, because the magistrate of Zou County relied on his father-in-law's family to study for the imperial examination and successfully became an official, he was quite afraid of his father-in-law's family, and even indulged him. A few years ago, his wife and younger brother Chai Kaifu began to seize fertile land and rob many properties in the village. , forcibly asking for money, making the villagers in many places miserable."

"Chai Kaifu has set his sights on the porcelain kilns in Jiangjia Village this time. Fortunately, you are not afraid of power and bullies, and you are not deceived by these evil officials. Get rid of these little bastards."

"You guys have done a great job this time!"

Zhao Zhifu spoke in a very official tone, and what he said was a bit too superficial, but it sounds good, and there is one sentence that is very clear, there is nothing wrong with Jiangjia Village beating those yamen servants this time. On the contrary, he made a contribution.

Originally on the way from the county gate to the county government, many people thought that since the magistrate Zhao had come, it would be easy to talk about it, and they would not be punished if their merits and demerits in Jiangjia Village were equal.

But the current nature has changed from innocuous to meritorious.

To have this honor on your head is amazing!

Everyone in Jiangjia Village was beaming when they heard the news.

At noon, people in Jiangjia Village ate at the county government office.

The reason is that in order to reward the arrest of Chai Fa and those Jiangjia Villagers who were working together as traitors, the magistrate Zhao specially packed food and drinks from the restaurant outside, and put them on a table in the county government.

Eight cold and eight hot, a total of sixteen dishes, even the wine to drink is Fenjiu.

The people in Jiangjia Village only think that this face is really bright. Ever since they came out of the county office after eating and drinking, they have always held their heads high and proud, and even returned to Jiangjia Village, full of words. several days.

"Being able to eat a meal in the county government was invited by the prefect, and this life is considered complete."

"That's right, the banquet is quite impressive!"

"Our life in Jiangjia Village can be regarded as affluent, but this is the first time we have eaten such a good rice noodles."

"The ancestral grave is smoking..."

After showing off like this for more than ten days, another news came from the county government.

It is said that the county magistrate Zou was deposed from his official position because of corruption and perverting the law, allowing his family to plunder.

The money and properties that were looted, if they can be returned, will be returned to the original owner, and if the original owner cannot be found, it will be charged to the national treasury and used to repair the canals and embankments of the county.

Li Zhongan, the new county magistrate, will take office soon.

Speaking of the new county magistrate Li Zhongan, the entire county has heard about it.

He was born in a family of farming and studying. He was No. 18 Jinshi in the imperial examination before. He was praised by people when he was in Hanlin. see off.
