Chapter 1328 No Matter Life or Death.
In the past half month, Liu Wei's family was busy treating and recovering Rong Leng, but the Yamen was busy opening up.
Wan's case has become a big deal!
The outcome was pretty much what Liu Wei expected. With the prosecutor's intervention, the matter was destined to go wrong.
The higher-ups seem to want to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys. In the past two days, a lot of big shots have come to Xijin County, including those who patrol the governor's office and those who have supervisory orders. These people know that Wan is an important witness against Wanfu Yin, so they all come to catch up. Come to Xijin County to ask about it.
As the first person to discover the case, Zhuang Chang was extremely busy these two days. He had dinner with this leader today and met with that leader tomorrow. Everyone came and went, and what they talked about was all about the pavilion. Jiangzhou’s next rectification arrangements.
After Liu Wei finished finishing Jiang's case, she didn't go to the Yamen again. Magistrate Song at first delayed her salary, but when she found out that no matter how much he delayed, Miss Liu firmly gave up and ignored her. After his death, he could only settle the balance with his tail between his legs.
After taking the money, Liu Wei never showed up again.
But now, Rong Leng can go to the ground and his body is gradually recovering. Liu Wei is satisfied and naturally starts to pay attention to Bagua.
The gossip in Xijin County must be Wan's case.
Walking to the street, with people coming and going, you can hear people chatting: "I heard that the emperor has issued an order. This case will be severely punished. The Wan family is over this time!" Another person said: "Why should I listen? Why should we let him go because there is no evidence? It’s not about Sun Jun’s case. The little maid committed suicide out of fear of the crime and left a suicide note. She said that she couldn’t stand the Jiang family, so she borrowed her lady’s name to buy the goods. He was cruel to people, but he didn’t expect that he would be killed in the end. Later,
They could only do one thing and two things without stopping, and they also killed Zhang Mazi and his wife. "
"Ah, is that so?" The person who spoke first was confused: "Are you blaming a little maid?" The person who spoke later sighed: "The county government said it was still looking for other evidence, so I can't say for sure. If Wan didn't personally give the order, it would be difficult to convict her. Also, I heard that there were several colleagues of Wanfu Yin in the court who interceded on Wan's behalf, saying that this was because the emperor was lax and careless. Let the dog slave take advantage of it
Zi, I made it clear anyway, it’s none of their business, it’s all up to the servants to make their own decisions. "
The person who spoke first was angry: "How can this be like this? These officials are really good at telling lies with their eyes open. So how is Wan's reputation on weekdays? Just ask and you will know. Is she still lax in her duties? The maids are all She beat several of them to death!"
"There's nothing you can do about it. Those maids all signed a contract to sell themselves. If they were beaten to death by their masters, they deserved it. That was because they were born in a bad way."
The two of them talked and said that they had no solution. They sighed for a while, then cracked melon seeds and talked about other topics.
Liu Wei and Zhong Ziyu were listening nearby.
In the past half month, Zhong Ziyu would come to see Liu Wei every few days, for no other reason than to ask for money.
But because there were Rong Leng and Xiao Li in the house Liu Wei rented, the father and son did not want to see Zhong Ziyu and Wei Chou at all, so every time they came to see Liu Wei, Zhong Ziyu could only ask her out.
When meeting outside, it is inevitable to listen to some street rumors.
Liu Wei didn't care before, but now he cares a little: "Everyone in the prison can be killed. This Wan family's hands are a bit long."
Zhong Ziyu had already eaten two red bean paste buns and was now eating the third one. He said, "I told you, this matter will not be that simple."
Liu Wei propped up his chin and pondered: "What is the attitude of the emperor?" Zhong Ziyu understood what Liu Wei meant. He swallowed the bun in his mouth, took the fourth one, leaned forward and analyzed: "Whatever is the case?" The king of the country must be selfish, suspicious and fickle. It is true that the governor of Tingjiang Prefecture forms a clique for personal gain and protects his relatives, but this is just a minor problem after all, at least in Tingjiang Prefecture.
There were no major problems under his governance. To use another analogy, maybe the money he embezzled and betrayed was earned for that emperor? In this case, do you think the emperor will still punish him? "
Liu Wei stared at Zhong Ziyu for a while, then said "tsk" for a while: "Do you have to think the worst about people?"
Zhong Ziyu sneered: "Which person in my mouth do you think is a good person?" Liu Wei made an estimate and then said: "The relationship between the emperor and Wan Fu Yin, we are just guessing, but if he is really the backer behind the Wan family, What is the purpose of establishing a patrol office? If his purpose is to make private profits from various states, then he can be straightforward and there is no need to do anything wrong.
So many oversight agencies are here to cause trouble for themselves. "
Zhong Ziyu picked up the fifth bean paste bun, opened his mouth and ate half of it: "It's not necessarily to cause trouble for myself. If it's just to use this patrol house to suppress the governors of various states, so that they can make money for themselves, don't lie to others. What are your thoughts?"
Liu Wei still disagreed: "Your statement is too extreme, I don't believe it."
Zhong Ziyu finished five steamed buns and saw that the plate was empty. He raised his hand to ask the waiter to bring another plate, then looked at Liu Wei and said, "Then do you think that Wan's matter will not be settled in the end?"
Liu Wei said: "The possibility is very small."
Zhong Ziyu smiled: "The witness has surrendered and committed suicide. Do you have other evidence?"
"She killed more than one person."
"Where are the others? Where are they? Will they come forward to testify?"
Yes, this is the key. Wan's hands are covered in blood and she has taken countless lives, but who dares to come to the Yamen to sue her?
Liu Wei raised her head: "Isn't it Jiang? Her sister was killed by Wan."
Zhong Ziyu looked disdainful: "A murderer accuses another murderer? You are the presiding judge, do you believe it?"
Liu Wei felt that talking to Zhong Ziyu was too boring. He was a pessimist and always looked at the world from a dark perspective.
"I still have a trump card," she said.
Zhong Ziyu looked at her.
The corner of Liu Wei's mouth curled up slightly: "Someone will make the decision for Hongfen, I have already said so."
Zhong Ziyu knew what she meant, and his face showed merciless ridicule: "The one with the surname Luo? You haven't given up yet?"
"Let's make a bet." Liu Wei didn't bother to convince him anymore, and said simply and rudely: "If I lose, I will give you a thousand taels of silver. If you lose..."
Zhong Ziyu smiled: "I don't have a thousand taels." Not to mention a thousand taels, I don't have even one tael, and I am worse than a beggar.
Liu Wei said vaguely: "If you lose, take note first, and then wait until I think of it later."
Zhong Ziyu looked down on this kind of bet, so he didn't agree, but after eating two more steamed buns, he suddenly said: "If I win, I don't want the thousand taels, but on other terms."
Liu Wei looked at him: "Huh?"
Zhong Ziyu's eyes were dark and deep: "Find Yue Shansheng for me."
One more sentence at the end. "No matter life or death."
