Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 263 Let them line up
Hu Qian looked at the old lady with a flower hat in front of him with some curiosity, "Oh, what tricks do you have, just use it directly, I want to see it."

The old lady with the flower hat said: "Good words are hard to persuade, you damn ghost! If you are so ungrateful, don't blame the old man for being rude!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand suddenly, pointed at Hu Qian, and immediately a yellow light shot at Hu Qian.

But as soon as the light hit Hu Qian, it disappeared.

The old lady with the flower hat was taken aback, then pointed again, the yellow light hit Hu Qian and disappeared without a trace again.

After shooting like this three times, the old lady paused and wondered, "What's going on? I've taught myself the poison of lupus and never missed it."

Hu Qian was startled, and wanted to ask again, when another shadow appeared under the shadow of the lamp.

"Old lady, my lord has sent someone here, go back quickly."

After speaking, both of them got into the candlestick and disappeared.

Hu Qian was taken aback.

"The poison of lupus..."

After leaving the courtyard, he carefully sealed the gate with a golden talisman, and called Hu Jiu, Da Zhu, Er Zhu, Xu Fengnian, Kong Xueli, and Wu Wannian to work together to seal the vital points with the golden talisman. Location.

Even so, by the third watch, even half of the doors and windows hadn't been pasted.

In desperation, Hu Qian had to let a few people go back to rest.

At first, I thought that the old lady with a flower hat was just an ordinary ghost, but I didn't expect that she was a criminal gang.

She learned her lupus virus from others, and most likely learned it from the adult she spoke of.

Who is that adult?

On the second day, he first went to the Yanchasi Yamen to hand over.

The deputy envoys of the inspectors, Qianshi, and full-time personnel from the Yamen of the inspectorate, inspecting military equipment, learning, patrolling the sea, the Qing army, passing on the post, and garrisoning fields, came forward to meet.

According to the inspection envoy, he is in charge of promoting morality, clarifying the administration of officials, reviewing criminals and prisons, and also receiving the post biography of the province. He is the same supervisor and subordinate member as the chief envoy.

Even so, an inspector like Hu Qian is not something the governor or governor can manage.

If he really wants to participate in the governor and governor, then these two people can only accept it.

In other words, even if Hu Qian killed the two of them for no reason, Emperor Guangde would definitely not dare to say no.

The current Hu Qian is no longer a person who could be relegated in Guobei County at that time.

Although Hu Qian was just as powerful at that time, he was unknown after all.

Hu Qian sat down in the hall, and the deputy envoy and others immediately handed over presents, only a tall and thin man stood still.

He waved his hand and refused to accept it, but asked the various places to submit important official documents and important cases left behind.

Everyone didn't dare to be negligent, so they hurriedly followed suit.

He took a cursory look, and found that the official documents were not important, but there were some problems in the lower trial of a few cases, and they were detained during the review.

Hu Qian said: "Who reviewed these 13 murders?"

Immediately below, a man bowed and said, "Your Excellency, you are an officer."

"What's your name and what position do you belong to?"

"The next official, Lin Chaotong, is your business."

"I think this case was tried by Lin Dayue, the prefect of Anhu Prefecture. I heard that he judges cases like a god. Why do you think there is a problem with this case?"

"My lord, this case involved thirteen lives, but the dossier presented by Mr. Lin only contained confessions and no evidence, so..."

"Ridiculous! Mr. Lin is a fourth-rank magistrate, but you are only a fifth-rank official, so why do you think his work is wrong!"

"Adjudication is all about evidence, not grade."

Hu Qian snorted coldly, and slapped it suddenly, the grand master's chair immediately turned into a pile of waste wood.

Everyone in the hall was as silent as a cicada—although they had heard of Hu Qian's prestige earlier, but when they actually saw it, they had different feelings.

Not to mention weak scholars like them, even a soldier with high martial arts skills may not be able to smash this grand teacher's chair with one palm.

What's more, Hu Qian is now their immediate boss and has just been made an earl. If he confronts such a person, the end can be imagined.

However, Lin Chaotong didn't panic, nor did he apologize for it, he just stood there.

Hu Qian said: "Okay, very good.

You, come in with me! "

As he said that, he went to his office first.

Lin Chaotong sighed and walked in.

Hu Qian said: "I see that everyone has prepared gifts just now, why didn't you prepare?"

"The official's family is poor, and there is really nothing to sell. I originally wrote a couplet, but lost it on the way."

"You are a member of the fifth rank. Why do you say that your family is poor? Haven't you saved even a little money in the past few years as an official?"

Lin Chaotong was silent.

Hu Qian said again: "What happened to the thirteen murders? Who are the people who died?"

"Mr. Yang, Bai Tie, the owner of the blacksmith shop, Wang Gong, the owner of the restaurant, the waiter of the restaurant, Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Tian, ​​the old man who burns fire, Zhu Chang, the slave of Zhu Chang's family, Zhao Wan and Zhao Shou, the father and son of the Zhao family, Zhao Yilang, the grandson of the Zhao family, Zhao Wan's concubine Love Daer."

Hu Qian frowned, "So many people died?"

"Yes, it took less than three days for the prefect to conclude the case, and there are only transcripts on the file, and there is no corresponding evidence at all."

"The result? How did so many people die?"

"Prefect Lin concluded that it was Bai Erlang, the son of the blacksmith shop owner, and Ai Da'er who committed adultery and murder. But so many people died, and some of them had nothing to do with Bai Erlang. How could it be easily determined that it was adultery and murder?"

"and then?"

"Then the next official raised doubts to the prefect Lin and asked the prefect Lin to re-trial, but was reprimanded by the former inspector. That Bai Erlang made the autumn decision and is still in prison."

"In that case, why do you bring up this case again, aren't you causing trouble for yourself?"

"This is the duty of a subordinate official. Otherwise, wouldn't someone like Bai Erlang die unjustly?"

Hu Qian nodded, took out a pen to draw a circle, and handed it to Lin Chaotong, "Take it, let Zhifu Lin reiterate, and tell him that Bai Erlang is not allowed to be tortured again, just say I said it."

Lin Chaotong was taken aback for a moment, and then took it excitedly, "It is a blessing for the common people to have someone like your lord in the imperial court."

At noon, Hu Qian returned to the house, but saw many people around the door.

His heart trembled, and he rushed over.

Only after entering the door did I realize that nothing happened at home, and the people at the door were all dentists.

Hu Jiu was in the house to say hello, but when he saw Hu Qian came back, he hurried over and said, "Young master, there are too many people from the tooth shop, I can't say hello."

"what happened?"

"When these people heard that it was Young Master, you wanted to buy a maid, they all rushed over in a swarm, and I couldn't stop them.

It's not just people in dental shops, even some decent farmers sell their daughters in. "

"A decent person lives a good life, why sell his daughter?"

Hu Jiu felt a little shy suddenly, and whispered: "I don't know where they got the news that all the good-looking maidservants are taken up by the young master.

What's more, looking at the entire Dongping, who can spend so much money to buy such a luxury house.

They said that as long as they can enter this door, they will definitely be popular and spicy in the future.

So this..."

Hu Qian was really angry and funny, "Let them call people over and line them up. I'll choose a few."
