Chapter 316

"Cui Xianzun is joking, the county is just asking Zhou Zhifu to enforce the law impartially." Wu Lixin said coldly.

"Really? Then the county can rest assured." Cui Pu smiled lightly, "Otherwise, if the magistrate simply attributed this matter to Liu Wu's jealousy and hatred of Liu San's family, so he framed it, it would be too much. Simpler. This Liu Wu is just a rascal. The county has been in Tianchang County for three years, but he has not seen any disturbances. As a result, he has only been away from the county for only two years, and he was able to bribe the jailer to torture Liu San, even You even made a counterfeit painting, do you think this is too nonsense, or is Wu County respecting you, the county magistrate, too lazy, and you can't even control the people under you?"

If the matter is too nonsensical, then it would only be the case if he secretly ordered it to happen, and he would only admit it if he was stupid; and if he admits the latter, it would not mean that he admits that he is incompetent as the county magistrate, and he has been in Tianchang County for a year and a half , you can't even control those people, you can only watch them run amok?Especially if this is the case, isn't it just for him to take the initiative to admit that he is not as good as Cui Pu?
Neither option is correct.Cui Pu clearly blocked all his escape routes, leaving him with no choice at all!

Wu Lixin wanted to kill him alive.It's just that with so many people outside staring at him now, he can only wink at Zhifu Zhou quietly.

Now, what can he do?Cui Pu has clearly driven them to a dead end, and now he has no choice but to admit that the judgment was wrong!Now the only option is this way of doing things.

But judging from Wu Lixin's reaction, he was unwilling to choose either, and forced himself to help him think of a perfect way out.But what can I come up with?

You yourself are too reckless, and Cui is too aggressive, you are not on the same level as him at all.In the end, you still want to fight against him. Isn't this self-inflicted and shameless?
Zhou Zhifu thought about it in his heart, but still racked his brains to think about it, but after all to no avail, he winked at the master beside him.

The master's face immediately changed, and he rushed over and held his hand and shouted: "Master, what's wrong with you? But the old illness has relapsed?"

Zhou Zhifu quickly leaned on him, and said with a weak face: "It should be. The county just feels dizzy and weak, and I can't even speak."

"Hurry up and help the master go down to rest!" The master hurriedly shouted.While Zhifu Zhou was being helped down, he hurriedly turned his head and laughed, "The Zhifu has always had an old problem of heartache, and it will flare up from time to time. It should be that he was anxious when he heard the case just now, which caused the old disease again, and now he needs to rest. See, it's not too early now, let's leave the courtroom today! The interrogation will resume when the magistrate recovers tomorrow. As for the people in the hall... Liu Wu confessed to the crime, and he will be sent to the prison for trial tomorrow. Liu San If you are injured like this, please ask a doctor to come and take a look! As for Wuxianzun and Cuixianzun, since you two are also closely related to this case, don't go back today, just stay here and wait until tomorrow. It’s not too late to go after the case is judged.”

A series of arrangements is very appropriate.

Cui Pu smiled and said: "Even if you don't say it, master, this county must stay today. Liu San has been injured like this, who knows what will be done to him tonight? I will also go to this county tonight." Protect him personally!"

The corners of Wu Lixinyan's mouth couldn't help twitching again.

Cui Pu immediately turned his gaze to him again: "By the way, there are many good medicines for bruises in this county, which are much better than those sold in pharmacies outside. Would you like to use them, Mr. Wu County?" use?"

While making gestures to take out the medicine bottle, but when the bottle was taken out, he paused. "The county just remembered that the wounds on your body were all caused by the county! Otherwise, you should keep the wounds for now, and wait for the prefect of Zhou to recover tomorrow, so that the county can judge the crimes of the county through your injuries. !"

Wu Lixin immediately realized that Zhou Zhifu was so sick, and Cui Pu beat him for no reason, but he still hasn't figured it out yet!Could it be that he really has to wait until tomorrow with all his injuries?He will be hurt to death!
However, facing Cui Pu's earnest eyes, he sneered coldly: "Thank you Cui Xianzun for your concern, but your medicine is no longer needed! The county wants to save this injury, and let the prefect of Zhou take it back for the county tomorrow." justice!"

"That would be the best." Cui Pu nodded immediately, and went to help Liu San himself.

Wu Lixin also looked at the master coldly: "Lead me the way!"

After entering the guest room of the magistrate's mansion, Cui Pu immediately called for hot water to scrub Liu San's body, clean his wounds, and apply medicine to his wounds one by one.

Liu San and his wife were inexplicably moved.

"It's our fault, and you have been involved in the county for no reason. In fact, you have done enough for us, and there is no need to do anything more." Liu San used the medicine made by Mu Jiaojiao himself, and now he feels better After a lot, he said with tears in his eyes.

Cui Pu had a cold face. "You are from this county, and this is something that the entire Yangzhou government knows. The surname Wu used you as a raft, saying that he was killing chickens and monkeys, but in fact he was deliberately slapping the county in the face! If the county doesn't beat him back severely , others will immediately know that this county is an incompetent person, who can't even protect the people who have followed him for many years. Then, the person surnamed Wu will definitely get worse. Therefore, this matter has nothing to do with you, it is between the county and him It's just that you were unfortunately involved in the competition."

"I understand what you mean by the county lord. It's just that if I hadn't insisted on moving out of Tianchang County, he wouldn't have attacked me. If he hadn't attacked me, naturally he wouldn't have involved you, so that this trouble has come to this day It's the end. Now, how do you end up?" Even though he felt a little more relieved when he heard his words, Liu San was still more worried about him.

Such a person, how could he not try his best to rescue him from the tiger's mouth?

"You don't need to worry about this, the county has its own ideas." Cui Pu comforted him a few more words, then got up and went out.

Standing quietly in the yard outside for a while, I heard light footsteps coming behind me.

Cui Pu's ear strength has improved a lot since practicing the exercises.As soon as he heard the footsteps, he knew it belonged to Xiao Si'er, so he didn't bother to turn around, and only asked: "What's the matter?"

"The lady just ordered someone to send a letter to you, Mr. Lang."

Xiao Si'er hurriedly handed over a letter, Cui Pu opened it and saw that there was only a blank sheet of paper in the envelope.When I unfolded the paper, there were only two black palm prints on it, so small that I couldn't see anything.

"What is this?"

"My lady said, this is my little lady's palm print, and she was brought here as soon as it was printed. If you don't go back to bed tonight, sir, she will send my little lady to accompany you."

Cui Pu immediately felt warm in his heart, and quickly read his daughter's palm print again and again, before carefully folding it and putting it away in a caring place.

When Ye Hua first arrived, a figure sneaked in from Wu Lixin's yard.

Seeing the person coming, Wu Lixin immediately lowered his face: "Is this how you do things?"

Zhou Zhifu looked powerless. "Master Wuxian, I never expected the sudden development of the matter to this point! Who would have thought that Cui Pu would be so strong-tempered that he would jump out to stand up for Liu San at this time. Now he clearly wants to make matters worse, since that's the case , we can only try our best to push things down."

"How else can you press?"

"Just now in the courtroom, didn't you say that Liu Wu is a two-faced man, and since he has already admitted that he has made a false accusation in this case, then we must make this false accusation a reality! As for the Tianchang County jailer secretly Regarding the torture of prisoners, someone must have taken advantage of your trust and acted recklessly. The most urgent thing is to find this person quickly. In this way, although you have made mistakes, it is not a big deal. Be brave enough to admit your mistakes, and then Send a letter of guilt to Concubine Hui, and Concubine Hui will naturally say a few good words for you in front of the saint because of your good attitude of admitting your mistakes."

He gets it.That is to say, find a confidant under his command to be the blame man.In this way, the guilt of his lack of strict control can be alleviated a lot, because that is his most trusted confidant, he has been relying on him for five years, who knew that person would suddenly turn bad?Even if he was wrong, it was just that he didn't know people clearly, which was much better than deliberately conniving the jailer to torture the prisoner!
"It's the only way to do it now." Wu Lixin nodded, "Then Mr. Qian! The old man has been reluctant since he followed me, and he put on a bad face all day long. I want to retire and return to my hometown! I have raised him for five years, but he didn’t do anything for me, and he suddenly clamored to go back to his hometown in the country for the elderly. Isn’t there something wrong with that?”

Mr. Qian?
Hearing this, Zhou Zhifu was shocked——Mr. Qian is an old man specially selected by Wu Shilang to advise him!At the beginning in Chang'an, he was deeply respected by Wu Shilang.Now, this person is actually going to retire and return home?Then how disappointed was he with Wu Lixin?As for Wu Lixin, he actually wants to push him out as a scapegoat...

If it were me, I would definitely not do this.But now, looking at Wu Lixin's indignant expression, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

"Now that the candidate has been finalized, let's quickly discuss this matter. Before tomorrow morning, we must come up with a specific charter."

"Then why don't you think about it!" Wu Lixin shouted immediately.

One night passed, and in the morning of the next day, Governor Wang arrived in Yangzhou City.

When the meeting was held again, Wu Lixin immediately changed his words and unconditionally supported the reversal of the case.That Liu Wu spent the night in prison, and changed his mind after he came out, insisting that he did it alone. The reason why he bit Wu Lixin yesterday was that he thought Wu Lixin was a member of Concubine Wu Hui's clan, and following him would Take less punishment.Afterwards, he obediently confessed to his accomplice - Mr. Qian.

Poor Mr. Qian had already packed his bags and was about to go back to the countryside for retirement, but he was tied up here in a daze, and such a big hat was put on him.

It's just that after hearing Liu Wu's identification of him, there was not much panic in his eyes, and he didn't jump up and yell for injustice. Instead, he just smiled coldly and said to Wu Lixin: "Wu Shilang's great kindness to Qian, Qian I have nothing to repay, and I have been deeply ashamed in my heart. Thank you Erlang Jun for what you have done today, you let Qian go away without complaint or regret!"

Wu Lixinyan panicked, as if he had lost something important.But if you think about it carefully, you can use this opportunity to get rid of this old man and prevent him from being bribed to do things that endanger the Wu family when he returns to his hometown in the countryside. Father and aunt will definitely praise him for adapting to the situation when he knows it. What are you panicking about?

Only Cui Pu sneered in his heart when he saw this - the move surnamed Wu made a big mistake, he might as well take the responsibility directly on himself!Now that something happened to Mr. Qian, who among those other people would dare to follow him with peace of mind?Within half a year, they will all be gone.Even if there is a newcomer, there will not be a few more people who are so dedicated to assisting him.

This person is digging his own grave!
A sarcastic smile also appeared in the corner of Wang Cishi's eyes above him. "Since the facts of the case have come to light, there is nothing to discuss, right? The governor will make an agreement now to overturn the case for Liu San's family!"

"Inspector Wang, the case of Liu San's family has been settled, so is it time to try Cui Pu's beating of the dismissed official?" Wu Lixin hurriedly said.

"That's natural." Inspector Wang nodded, then murmured, "But this matter is of great importance. Both Wuzhi County and Cuizhi County are young talents valued by saints, and this governor cannot make rash judgments, so last night the governor After hearing the news, I have already reported the news to the sage. Now, why don't you quickly ask Wu Zuo to inspect your injuries in Wuzhi County, and then everyone wait quietly for the summons from Chang'an!"

Depend on!This person is better at throwing pots than him!Unexpectedly, after one night's effort, the blame has already been dumped to Chang'an City thousands of miles away!
Hearing these words, Zhou Zhifu was shocked, and finally understood why he was about the same age as Wang Cishi, but his status was so much lower than him-look, how beautifully he made such a move!Throwing it out casually without touching his fingertips, neither the Wu family nor the Cui family will offend, which just shows his image of being impartial and selfless.

On the other hand, Cui Pu must have been thinking about how to skin himself now, right?

Hearing what Wang Cishi said, Wu Lixin nodded quickly. "Then do as you say, Governor Wang!"

Hmph, in Chang'an, that is the world of their Wu family. With the help of his aunt, is he afraid that he will not be able to win a big victory?
When Cui Pu heard this, a light flashed in his eyes quickly. "Since Wang Cishi, you have already sent the news back to Chang'an, then the officer will naturally have to follow your arrangements. But these days, are we going to wait here together to be summoned from Chang'an?"

"Of course there is no need for this. You still have a lot of things to do in your respective counties, so go back and deal with the things at hand first, and explain the things by the way, so that when Chang'an comes, you can spare enough time for each of you."

"Yes, I will listen to Wang Cishi for everything." Cui Pu and Wu Lixin said in unison.It's just that both of them have their own ghosts, and they have already started their own calculations in their stomachs.

Turning over Liu San's case was very easy.In less than half a day, the matter was over.Cui Pu handed him back to Huangzhi County, and hurriedly returned to Hailing County.

Entering the county government office, he quickly hugged Mu Jiaojiao: "My good lady, you did this very beautifully! Hurry up and get ready, let's get ready to go back to Chang'an!"
