Liu Zhimo flipped through the file casually, and found a lot of problems. He put the file back with a sullen face, and turned to ask Ma Xiancheng, did you use torture during the trial
Ma Xiancheng's cold sweat dripped down, he didn't dare to speak to death, he only said that some were tortured and some were not.
He felt more and more that Liu Zhimo was not easy to fool, unlike the previous county magistrates who changed their minds after being threatened or flattered.
In the past few years, he didn't know how many injustice cases he had seen
It's just that he wouldn't act rashly before he knew Liu Zhimo.
Otherwise, once He Dianshi was caught, he and his family would be in danger.
If not for himself, but also for his family.
Liu Zhimo took a deep look at Ma Xiancheng, put the file back in place with a snap, turned around and walked out without pressing Ma Xiancheng.
He is not in a hurry about this matter, and after he has gained a firm foothold, he will settle things one by one.
I hope not too many people have been wronged, otherwise...
Ma Xiancheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, followed Liu Zhimo step by step, and walked out of the yamen.
Liu Zhimo told him not to follow him, but to do his own thing.
Ma Xiancheng responded, and seeing Liu Zhimo go away, he sighed deeply. He was worried about how to convey Liu Zhimo's words to He Dianshi
It is estimated that there is no need for him to say it, He Dianshi has already received the wind, right
He guessed right, He Dianshi had indeed received the wind, he lay on the couch, opened his mouth to bite the grapes handed to him by the maid, and looked at the yamen servant who came to inform him with enjoyment.
"Oh? So the county magistrate who smells like milk has two brushes?" When he knew that the county magistrate who came down this time was a teenager, he laughed three times. He was just a child. He ignored it even more.
Ninghua County is his territory, no matter who comes, he has to obediently obey his command.
If you don't stand on the same front with him, then don't blame him for being cruel.
Hearing what the yamen servant said, he felt that the new county magistrate hadn't smoothed his edges and corners, and when he smoothed his edges and corners, he would know who to listen to.
"I think he's just a paper tiger, bluffing, how can he compare to you, He Dianshi!" The yamen servant flattered He Dianshi, he knew that only following He Dianshi could he have meat.
Besides, he also relied on He Dianshi to enter the yamen as a yamen servant. Who would he help if he didn't help He Dianshi
He Dianshi patted the bed board and laughed suppressedly. He also felt that the new county magistrate was bluffing, so he would like to see if he, the new official, can make a fire after taking office.
He was going to go to the Yamen in two days to give the new county magistrate a good refreshment and let him know what to do and what not to do? Let him know even more, who is the boss here
The yamen servant saw He Dianshi smiling so happily, so he took the opportunity to praise He Dianshi so much that he laughed so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes, and asked the maid to bring two boxes of snacks to the yamen servant, telling him to keep an eye on the new county magistrate. If you have any news, come and pass it on to him.
The yamen servant nodded again and again, saying that he would, and he stopped disturbing He Dianshi with a wink, and walked away happily with a snack.
Not long after the yamen servant left, a young man came over and told He Dianshi that Ma Xiancheng had arrived.
What is that guy here for
He Dianshi waved to the maids and told them to take the things down. He pretended to be sick and lay back on the bed.
Feeling that the appearance is almost done, he asked the boy to bring Ma Xiancheng over.
"Cough, cough, Ma... How come Ma Xiancheng came to see me when he has time, don't he need to greet the county magistrate?"
Ma Xiancheng saw that He Dianshi's face was rosy, how did he look like a sick person
The corner of his mouth twitched, and when He Dianshi finished coughing, he opened his mouth and asked how he was doing? Are you feeling better
He knew that He Dianshi was pretending to be sick, but not only could he not expose him, but he had to cooperate with him in acting.
It's... really aggrieved.
He Dianshi pretended to cough a few more times before beating his chest and saying that he couldn't die.
"He Dianshi needs to take care of his health. Mr. Liu knows that He Dianshi is sick, and he is very concerned about He Dianshi. Let me tell He Dianshi and see him when he recovers."
If Master Liu hadn't asked him to take this trip, he would never want to see He Dianshi.
"Ma...Maxian Cheng please thank Mr. Liu for me, thank him for his concern, and I will go to see him when I recover." He Dianshi was a little bit unsure of Liu Zhimo's attitude. Should be angry
Ma Xiancheng nodded, said that he would tell Lord Liu for him, and let him rest well, then got up and left.
He didn't want to see He Dianshi at all, this kind of scum, he hoped that the newly appointed Lord Liu would punish him well, and let him know, what is there to be outside of people, and beyond the sky
He Dianshi snorted coldly, and quickly got up from the bed, how could he look like he was dying of illness just now
He has to talk to fourth uncle, so that he can be vigilant in his heart, so that he won't be caught by the new county magistrate.
The richest people in Ninghua County are the four families of He, Zhao, Lin, and Wang. Although these four families usually compare each other and step on each other, when facing the county magistrate, the four families are unprecedentedly united and jointly resist the county magistrate. , so that the county magistrate couldn't move them.
If the four families hadn't joined forces, the county magistrates in the past would not have been so disheartened and would have been suppressed by the four families.
After He Dianshi told his fourth uncle about the matter, his fourth uncle pondered for a while, and asked the boy to invite the heads of the other three families over. If he wanted to tell them about this matter, he must resist the newcomers. The county magistrate, if he can't move in Ninghua County, he must obediently listen to them and do things for them.
The previous county magistrates followed this method and let those county magistrates treat them properly, and now they will definitely be able to do the same for this milky-smelling county magistrate.
After waiting for a long time, the heads of the three families rushed to He's house and asked what's the matter
If it wasn't for some urgent matter, the He family wouldn't send someone to come to them.
Fourth Uncle He took a leisurely sip of tea, glanced at the three of them, and asked them what they thought of the new county magistrate.
He's not that stupid, he won't be the first bird.
If he didn't do it himself, he gave this opportunity to these three people to express their opinions.
The heads of the three families looked at each other in dismay, shook their heads and said that they didn't know much, only that the county magistrate who came was a young man, still very young.
It's right to be young, and you can easily suppress him.
He Dianshi snorted coldly in his heart, shook his head and said everything he knew, and the three of them were stunned after listening.
They all asked if He Dianshi was real
He Dianshi nodded and said it was true, and he would not tell them if it was false.
The other three pondered for a while, and then said with a look of disdain, what are they afraid of, a kid who smells like milk
The county magistrate who came before was not afraid, and the one who came this time was even less afraid.
The strong dragon still doesn't overwhelm the local snake! They want to see that kid, what can he do to cure them
Fourth Uncle He didn't take Liu Zhimo to heart either. He glanced at He Dianshi and told him to do whatever he usually did and not to worry about other things.
Their words are enough, He Dianshi nodded and said he knew what to do.
Why are the four of them unwilling to leave the backward Ninghua County
As the saying goes, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the emperor has no control over them. It is much better for them to be a local emperor here than to be oppressed everywhere outside.
"Okay, it's just a new county magistrate, don't take it to heart, it's rare to get together today and have a good drink." Uncle He clapped his hands, and asked the servants to bring the food and wine, and they had a good reunion.
The other three had no objection, they completely forgot about Liu Zhimo, held their wine glasses, and drank happily.
As for Liu Zhimo, he went to find Mr. Luo as soon as he got home, and told Mr. Luo what he saw.
Mr. Luo stroked his beard, frowned and said, it seems that the situation in Ninghua County is much more serious than what they knew.
They had investigated Ninghua County before, and they knew that the four families of Wang He, Zhao Lin, were rich in Ninghua County, and that the people in Ninghua County mainly leased their fields for farming, and they also knew that Ninghua County was controlled by them. Just didn't know it was going to be this serious.
It seems that they are going to fight a long battle with those four families this time.
"Let's not talk about other things. First of all, you have to control the yamen first. After you control the yamen, you can deal with the four families." If you can't even control your own territory, then don't talk about other places. .
Liu Zhimo nodded and said, yes, he is also planning to start with the Yamen.
All the yamen servants will be replaced, and if he wants to install his people, then his previous idea can be realized. Select two or three people from Niutou Village and train them to become his confidantes.
"Before that, the four families have to re-investigate and see, how many things have we missed?" Mr. Luo knocked on the table, frowned and said, only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle. If we don't do some work, how can we succeed? Go to war with the enemy? "You don't need to worry about this, I will send someone to investigate, and I will tell you after the investigation." There are so many guards around, if you don't make good use of them, you will be sorry for him.
"Okay, thank you Master." With Master's help, he will not be so flustered, and can proceed in an orderly manner, "I plan to retry the previous case. I must not wrong the good people and let the bad people get away with it."
I really don't know how the previous county magistrates became? Has conscience been eaten by dogs
Mr. Luo hummed and asked Liu Zhimo to tell him about his plan.
Since there was a wrong case, it must be corrected, otherwise, it would be meaningless for them to come to Ninghua County.
After listening to Liu Zhimo's plan, Mr. Luo pondered for a while, "Let's press it down first, get the Yamen settled first, see the reactions of the four families, and then make a decision."
Liu Zhimo responded, there is no need to rush this matter, he understands it.
