The wailing at the yamen door soon spread into the yamen, making Hu Jinan, who was appointed as the official, even more irritated.
The new magistrate took office and wanted to investigate the previous government accounts. The five thousand taels of silver he embezzled privately have not been recovered yet.
In the past, this matter would have been nothing.
Say hello to the prefect, everyone will turn a blind eye, and this matter will be over.
The trouble now is that this inventory accounting was ordered by the prince to prepare for the subsequent encirclement and suppression of Japanese pirates.
After learning the news, local officials in various prefectures and counties, and even the vassal and government offices, are now trying to find ways to make up for the shortfall.
As for Hu Jinan, he can't raise five thousand taels of silver in the short term, so he is worried now.
With a "pop" sound, Hu Jinan slapped the table, startling the clerk outside.
"Go out and see if anyone is making noise, and immediately order someone to beat them out," Hu Jinan said angrily.
"Yes, let's go for my humble job"
The scribe turned around and went out, not wanting to stay indoors and bear his anger.
In fact, it is not unusual to hear wailing from outside the government office. After all, fights often occur in the government office, so the clerks in each office are working step by step. Only the head of the prison room is outside asking questions at the moment.
"That's what happened. Do you remember clearly what our young master said? If you don't judge impartially, you will be held accountable in the future."
The speaker was Lu Yuxin, and he also I want to return to the palace as soon as possible, and now I am making the final handover.
The head of the criminal chamber was unsure of his identity. After hearing this, he said, "The government will judge impartially, but I don't know whose son your master is."
If the other party has a good background, The principal will naturally report it to his superiors and finally make an "appropriate" judgment.
Hearing Zhu Jinghong's explanation, Lu Yuxin could only reply, "My master is the son of the Zhenjiang Guards commanding the Qianshi."
Hearing this, the hostess of the prison room looked at Zhang outside the door. The class leader nodded slightly.
"Then please tell your young master that the government will find out the cause of the matter and will make a fair decision."
"Farewell"
After saying the last two words , Lu Yuxin left with the other three people. The four of them were very anxious at the moment.
"Yu Xin, if the Thirteenth Master uses your name falsely, I'm afraid I won't be able to control Shuntian Mansion"
"The Xue family tree has deep roots, you have to make plans early, don't let Your father is in trouble."
The other three guards, whose family background is similar to that of Lu Yuxin, are very aware of the seriousness of the matter, so they warned them.
"If we really get into trouble, Master Thirteen will definitely not ignore it," Lu Yuxin said helplessly.
Everyone nodded, but said nothing more.
As they were rushing on their way, the Shuntian government office exploded on the other side.
After learning that a murder had occurred and that the Xue family uncle was also injured, Hu Jinan went to the gate of the government office in person.
"Brother Xue, what are you doing?"Who did this to you?" Hu Jinan looked worried.
There is no other way, the Xue family is the God of Wealth, and can just solve his trouble.
Just now Lu Yuxin and his party Now, Xue Pan can only swallow his anger. Now he is looking forward to a savior.
"Catch, catch those people just now. They killed the people in my house, don't let them escape."
Xue Pan spoke intermittently, but Hu Jinan understood it clearly, so his eyes immediately glanced at Zhang Bantou
"You are already deaf, why don't you hurry up and get someone?"
"Yes, yes, sir, please calm down, I'll go right away."
Bantou Zhang ran away in a flash, while Hu Jinan directed the other people in the yamen to help Xue Pan in .
As for Feng Yuan, who was also a victim, he was directly thrown into prison because Xue Pan accused him of raping a civilian girl.
Fortunately, Zhu Jinghong stopped him before. Feng Yuan had not been beaten by Xue Pan, and although his injuries were serious at this moment, they were not fatal.
"Master Hu, you have to redress my grievances. Those people committed murders in the street and killed without blinking an eye."
In the back hall, Hu Jinan has called a doctor and is treating Xue Pan's wound.
Hu Jinan is sitting aside, blowing hot air with a cup of tea.
Listening to Xue Pan's cry, Hu Jinan put down his teacup, "Brother Xue, I know you have been wronged, but this matter is not that simple."
"The other party is in the army and has quite a few problems at home. I'm afraid it's not easy to mess with the power."
"What's more, now that the new government official has arrived, he has his own rules for doing things, so things are not easy to handle."
After saying this, Hu Jinan sighed and secretly observed Xue Pan's reaction.
"Is it true that Uncle Xue's beating was in vain?"
"What a soldier, my uncle Wang Ziteng is now in office." Chief Military Officer of the Beijing Battalion, are you still afraid of being commanded by such a small person?"
Seeing the other party's expression getting uglier, Hu Jin'an suddenly said again, "Brother Xue, General Wang is stationed in the north by order, and military affairs are busy. It's better not to bother him."
Hu Jinan knew the situation of the Xue family very well, but he was worried that he would go too far and let the cooked duck fly.
So he As soon as the words changed, "It's not that this matter can't be handled in our house, it just involves a lot of people and things, so everyone has to take care of it."
After hearing the word "manage", Xue Pan asked directly "How much money do you need?"
As long as it can be solved with money, it doesn't matter to him, Mr. Xue. After all, what the Xue family is most in need of is money.
See Xue. With the eldest son speaking so generously, Hu Jinan made up his mind and said, "It will cost at least seven or eight thousand taels, I'm afraid."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Hu Jinan actually regretted that he should not have opened his mouth like a lion and asked for it. Just five thousand taels of silver to make up for the shortfall.
Seven or eight thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. If Mr. Xue is worried about the money and invests it in other ways, then he, Hu Jinan, will not get anything.
"Just eight thousand, I will do it in a whileI'll send someone to deliver it to you. If you don't have enough, come and get it from my house."
Xue Pan slapped the table, which caused severe pain in his body. He groaned and then collapsed back on the chair.
Seeing his arrogance, Hu Jinan felt regretful again and secretly cursed himself for being too small, why didn't he just ask for ten thousand taels?
"I will give Brother Xue justice if I take care of this matter. "
When the money was about to arrive, Hu Jinan even changed his title. Xue Pan's "brother" suddenly became Brother Xue.
"I don't care about the rest, he must be put in jail. If you can kill him, kill him. If you can't kill him, find a place where he can't poop and be exiled, so that his life will be worse than death."
Hu Jin'an nodded, "I have a sense of discretion on this matter. Brother Xue, please go home." , I will come see you another day."
Immediately after Hu Jinan waved, the servants of the Xue family entered the room, helped Xue Pan and limped out.
Watched off After Xue Pan left, Hu Jinan suppressed his smile and sat in the room drinking tea. About a quarter of an hour later, the prison officer appeared in front of him and handed over the transcript of the previous inquiry. p>
Hu Jinan only read it briefly, then threw the record to the ground, looked at his subordinates and said, "It's the young master who commanded the Qianshi of Zhenjiang Guards. He and Feng Yuan raped the women in the street, and finally used slaves to kill people."
"Re-interrogation"
The head of the prison room was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Sir, that man is not a white man after all. If he is really charged with killing a person, I am afraid that this matter will It's hard to be kind."
The chief of the prison house is Hu Jin'an's confidant, so he warned him at this moment.
Although the prison house also knew that Hu Jin'an was not afraid of Zhenjiang Wei's command, he thought There is no need to do anything too extreme.
"No matter who you are, you must be held accountable if you kill someone. Our Ming Dynasty has strict laws and I am in charge of the punishment of a government. Shouldn't I enforce the law impartially?" p>
Hearing this, the director of the prison room knew that Hu Jinan had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything more. Please remember to bookmark it. The latest and fastest free anti-theft website to find books and add books can be added to the qq group 952868558
