Chapter 50 Impeachment of the Governor
At this moment, the county magistrate and Wei Dianshi looked ugly.
Chen Xiao stood in front of them, looked at the two of them jokingly, and said, "So, where did this salt come from?"
Wei Dianshi swallowed and just said that it was evidence just obtained from the Chen family shop.
But in a blink of an eye, Chen Xiao was slapped in the face.
People had already arranged a constable in the Chen Family Shop, and no one was allowed to enter and exit. How could they get the evidence?
"This...this...is evidence placed in the county government..." Wei Dianshi defended and said.
Chen Xiao said slowly, "Oh? You said that the Chen family shop smuggled salt, so the Chen family shop should have private salt no matter what, right? Otherwise, it would not be sealed by you.
So, if the evidence is in the sealed Chen Family Shop, then it can be determined that Chen Family Shop smuggled salt. But if the Chen Family Shop does not have private salt, what explanation will you two do?"
The county magistrate and Wei Dianshi looked at each other, and he knew very well whether the Chen family shop had any private salt.
At this moment, I only regretted it. I was careless. I had known that I would have put some private salt in the Chen family shop at the beginning.
The main reason is that they think that in their territory, they have the final say?
I didn't expect that the Promoter would come to investigate in person, and it was so meticulous.
What I didn’t expect was that the Promoter is Chen Xiao, who should I ask for reason?
"What? Don't you say?" Chen Xiao's face darkened.
"This...this..." the county magistrate hesitated.
"Sir, this... we have evidence, this salt was taken out of the Chen family shop..." Wei Dianshi was still defending.
Chen Xiao sneered: "This salt is not in the shop, you can't prove it!"
Both the county magistrate and Wei Dianshi knew that today is over, and there is no evidence to say anything.
What's more, Chen Xiao is an intermediate judicial officer, and he has the final say.
Chen Xiao snorted, and said to Zaoli under his opponent: "Take people to search for the Chen family shop to see if there is any private salt, and call the constable back by the way."
Zaoli left, and the county magistrate and Wei Dianshi knelt on the ground in despair.
Soon, Constable Zaoli came back: "Sir, no grain of salt was found in the ten shops in the Chen family. There was no salt smell at all. Obviously, salt had never been placed."
The salt is very backward now, with poor quality and weird taste, so if you put salt there, someone with a good nose can smell it.
Chen Xiao said lightly: "In other words, the Chen family shop will never have private salt!"
"That's right!" said the head of the constable.
Chen Xiao sneered, looked at the county magistrate and Wei Dianshi, and said:
"You two, falsely accusing the people, using lynching, forcing confessions, creating perjury, and privately arresting and detaining people with fame and honor in Jinshi. Can you know your crime?"
Both of them looked pale, and only then did they realize that Chen Wenshan still had the reputation of a Jinshi.
Both of them have no power to arrest and detain people with fame, so they have all the charges included.
"Sir, Promoter... The two of them just didn't verify it. Please tell me if you want to tell me..." The two of them were panicked.
Chen Xiao sneered: "One side? For the people who are not guilty, you two will even kill them if you falsely accused and framed them. When you come to you, you still want to be another side? Humph, come and take them away, take them back to the government jail. The official will submit it to the Ministry of Justice and then execute it!"
"yes……"
Zaoli immediately stepped forward and took the two of them off.
At the same time, it also allowed people to untie the rope on Chen Wenshan and his wife.
"My son is promising, please bless the ancestors of the Chen family..." Chen Wenshan was excited.
On the other hand, the father and daughter of the Luo family were hit hard, and their faces changed unpredictably at this moment.
"Daughter...your fiancé Wei Dianshi... has fallen..." said Mr. Luo.
Luo Qianqian's face was pale, but then she looked fierce and said, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I will lose to him, Dad, we won't be in Qingyang County anymore."
If we go to the imperial capital, I don’t believe it. With my ability, I can’t stand a big shot, a big shot that Chen Xiao can never compare to..."
The parents and the parents left here as they spoke.
Not far away, Mr. Liu gritted his teeth, and he turned around and left without giving up.
Chen Xiao asked Chen Wenshan and his wife and Long Jiuling to go home first, and he and the Zaoli Constables went to the county government office.
The county government itself has a vacant county magistrate, but now the county magistrate and Dianshi have been arrested. Now, only the third leader, the ninth rank county chief clerk is left.
Chen Xiao asked him to handle the matters of the county government first. As for the county magistrate or something, I believe that the Ministry of Personnel will appoint new people as soon as possible.
After making arrangements, Chen Xiao immediately wrote a case file for the matter of the county magistrate and Wei Dianshi, and asked them to sign and approve them, and sent them to the Ministry of Justice.
After completing these things, Chen Xiao returned to the Chen Mansion in Qinghe Lane and chatted with Chen Wenshan and his wife for a long time.
When leaving, Chen Xiao said to Chen Wenshan: "I have been investigating the magistrate and the prefecture all these days. In just a few days, they can submit their crimes to the Ministry of Justice. At that time, it will be fine for you to clear your charges and restore the county magistrate!"
"Dad doesn't matter, it's just a son. The officialdom is dangerous. There is no need to offend the prefect..." Chen Wenshan was worried.
Chen Xiao said, "I have my own sense of responsibility. Parents, I'll leave first!"
"Goodbye uncle and aunt!" Long Jiuling said with a smile.
Chen took Long Jiuling's hand and said, "Next time I'll get you married two times!"
In an instant, Long Jiuling blushed.
...
After rushing to the imperial capital, he rushed to the Guanlin Prison and Dian Shi, he was speechless all night.
The next day, the Ministry of Justice came to the document and approved Chen Xiao's case file. Dian Shi and the county magistrate were detained in the Ministry of Justice prison. I am afraid that they will not be able to get out of this life!
Now that his parents are fine, Chen Xiao has no worries, he has sorted out all kinds of crimes such as embezzlement and bribery, frame-up, favoritism, and embezzlement.
Among them, the Chen Wenshan case is one.
After sorting out all the crimes and taking out the relevant case files as evidence, Chen Xiao encapsulated them in a large envelope and stamped them himself.
Then he took the envelope and went to the prefect's Houya office.
The prefect was drinking tea. When he saw Chen Xiao coming, his face turned rough:
"Prison Chen, what's the matter?"
Chen Xiao smiled and poured a cup of tea for the prefect and said:
"It's nothing, but some cases are quite complicated. I want to stamp your prefect seal with your prefect. In this way, it will be taken seriously and it will be possible to show His Majesty the Emperor."
"Oh? What case is so serious?" asked the prefect.
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "It's not serious. Please help me stamp the seal. After that, the official will make you tea and drink a cup."
The prefect thought it was strange. Today, this bastard is so polite?
So I stamped it without thinking too much, so I said that I would not hit people with a smile on my face.
But as soon as the seal was stamped, Chen Xiao's smile disappeared and he said to the minor official next to him:
"Send these cases to the Ministry of Justice immediately!"
The little official left quickly, and Chen Xiao also got up and wanted to leave.
The prefect frowned: "Prison Chen, didn't he say he would have a drink with us?"
Chen Xiao turned around and said with a stern face: "I'm not available!"
The prefect was stunned. She turned her back so quickly. After finishing her business, she refused to recognize others.
"By the way, what did you send me just now?" He asked a little more.
Chen Xiao said without looking back: "It's nothing, I just impeached some of your case files to the Ministry of Justice and Your Majesty."
"Oh!" The prefect nodded, picked up the teacup... and then he was stunned:
Chapter completed!
