Chapitre 24: Chapter 24 Got into big trouble
In the backyard of the county government office, Magistrate Wang, who had just sent Mr. Liu away, rubbed his temples and sighed in his heart about the poor guy in prison.
Just now Mr. Liu and I were about to take away the tokens for entering and exiting the cell. I'm afraid that boy will inevitably suffer some torture today.
This Mr. Liu is really ruthless and can kill people at every turn, but if he gets on Liu Yushi's boat, he will have a backer in the court in the future.
Sudden.
There was a sound of rapid footsteps.
A government servant walked up to him and whispered: "Sir, there is an old man in the front hall who wants to see you by name. It seems that he is here for Li Qingxuan's matter."
Unexpectedly, Li Qingxuan's family arrived so quickly.
It just offends Liu Yushi's son, and it won't work if anyone comes.
"Go and tell him, just say that I am busy and don't have time to see him."
"Sir, the old man said he would regret it if you didn't see him."
"What? You turned against him."
Magistrate Wang immediately lost his temper.
"I want to see who he is and how dare he speak such arrogant words."
Soon Magistrate Wang came to the front hall and saw an old man in a soap robe standing in the lobby with his hands behind his back.
With a Chinese character face and straight thick eyebrows, he stood there calmly and confidently.
There were several servants accompanying him, and one could tell at a glance that his identity was unusual.
Magistrate Wang couldn't figure out the identity of the other party. He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a deep voice: "I heard that you want to see me?"
Yuan Guang snorted coldly.
"My friend Li Qingxuan was arrested by you. Let me ask, what crime did he commit?"
"It turns out that I came here because of that boy. Li Qingxuan committed a murder on the street. He committed a heinous crime and has been locked up by me."
County Magistrate Wang saw that Yuan Guang did not show any identity, thinking that he was just an ordinary wealthy businessman, and his waist suddenly stiffened.
Normally, Magistrate Wang would have to think twice about wearing such clothes. After all, there are many wealthy nobles in Luodu, and there are countless officials, so he might offend some powerful people.
But this time he was working for Mr. Yushi, so it didn't matter even if he offended some people.
Can the other party be bigger than the censor?
Before Yuan Guang could speak, a government official hurriedly walked in, leaned into Magistrate Wang's ear and whispered: "Huo Shangshu is here."
"What?"
Magistrate Wang was startled.
The Minister of Punishment is a real powerful figure, and he is his immediate boss.
Before he could react, Huo Ge, dressed in black, walked in with windy steps.
Magistrate Wang hurried forward to greet him.
"Huo Shangshu, why are you here?"
But Huo Ge didn't pay attention to him at all. Instead, he came directly in front of Yuan Guang and saluted: "I have met Mr. Yuan."
"It turns out to be Huo Shangshu."
Yuan Guang smiled slightly.
In terms of authority, Huo Ge is the Minister of Punishment, and his position is no lower than that of Yuan Guang. However, everyone knows that Yuan Guang's position as imperial censor is just a transition, and his next step will be to be promoted to the prime minister of the dynasty.
And now that he has won the trust of the empress and holds the power of appointment and removal of official positions, Huo Ge must also be controlled by him.
Seeing this scene, Magistrate Wang's heart skipped a beat.
Thinking again about Huo Ge calling him Master Yuan just now, and Magistrate Wang has basically met all the officials of the third rank and above in the current imperial court.
The only one I haven't seen is probably the recently promoted imperial censor.
Sure enough, the next thing I heard was Yuan Guang saying: "Thanks to your majesty's respect, I have been granted the post of imperial censor to clean up the imperial court and correct unhealthy trends."
"Today, I heard that a good friend of mine was directly thrown into prison by the magistrate Wang because he offended the son of a certain lord in the court. He was not even tried, so I came here to find out what happened."
Magistrate Wang's legs were already a little weak at this moment.
Who would have thought that the guy named Li Qingxuan actually knew the new imperial censor Yuan Guang.
This time I really hit the wall.
Although Liu Yushi had a high official position, he was far behind Yuan Guang.
And Yuan Guang is the person in charge of Liu Yushi.
It can be imagined that Li Qingxuan's status in Yuan Guang's heart was allowed to go to the county government in person to investigate the crime.
At this time, Huo Ge finally understood that Yuan Guanglai's purpose was actually a man named Li Qingxuan.
It's just that I have never heard of this person before.
Hearing that Liu Yushi was involved, Huo Ge suddenly looked at Magistrate Wang with a somewhat unkind look.
Magistrate Wang's mind was racing rapidly at this moment.
Looking at the situation, this Li Qingxuan belongs to Yuan Guang. If he directly acquits Li Qingxuan now, if Yuan Guang uses this as an excuse to punish himself, then he will be finished.
So Li Qingxuan needs to be released, but not directly.
Immediately his throat rolled, and he said: "This Li Qingxuan was involved in a street fight. After he was caught, the official had not had time to find out the truth, so he was put into prison first, planning to wait until the investigation was clear before making a decision."
"Since Mr. Yuan and Huo Shangshu are here, I will ask someone to bring Li Qingxuan up and interrogate him on the spot."
County Magistrate Wang was indeed a veteran, and he found a place for himself to get off on the spot.
Anyway, I haven't convicted Li Qingxuan yet. If I find a reason to let him go, I won't offend anyone.
And now that Mr. Liu has gone to jail to deal with Li Qingxuan, he must have Li Qingxuan taken out quickly, lest Li Qingxuan is really crippled and Yuan Guang has to skin him.
Hearing what Magistrate Wang said, Yuan Guang frowned slightly.
Although the information he received was that Magistrate Wang and Mr. Liu colluded, Li Qingxuan has not been convicted yet.
Moreover, Li Qingxuan is fine, so this matter will be put to rest for the time being, and we will deal with the magistrate Wang in the future.
But before Magistrate Wang could give the order, several government officials ran in in a panic.
I saw a group of people wearing black robes and carrying embroidered spring knives rushing in fiercely.
The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a red silk flying fish suit. His eyes were filled with anger and he was not angry.
It was Xue Gang, the commander of Tianyi Guard.
Seeing this group of arrogant people, County Magistrate Wang's heart trembled subconsciously.
Even Yuan Guang had some doubts in his eyes.
As for Huo Ge, although he had known that Xue Gang was coming, he was also curious.
The Tianyi Guards have a very special status in Daxia. Their rank may not be high, but everyone knows that they are the swords in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor.
Especially after the empress ascended the throne, the Tianyi Guards made great efforts. Deeply trusted by the empress, he has the power of life and death.
Above the court, no one wants to offend the Tianyi Guard.
The Tianyi Guards are known for their ruthless methods. Every time they appear, it means someone is going to suffer.
Today, Xue Gang, the commander of Tianyi Guard, came in person. The meaning behind this is terrifying to think about.
Xue Gang is here. Naturally, it was not Magistrate Wang's turn to speak. Huo Ge took a step forward and said, "I wonder why Commander Xue came here?"
Xue Gang glanced at him lightly and said coldly: "I'm here to ask for someone."
Hearing this, Huo Ge's heart skipped a beat. He made some guesses and whispered, "Who is it?"
"Li Qingxuan, I heard that he was taken to prison by Magistrate Wang."
Is it Li Qingxuan again? At the same time, the Tianyi Guards were alerted, and the imperial censor arrived in person. Huo Ge was also frightened.
Next to him, Magistrate Wang, who had arrested Li Qingxuan, felt cold.
He knew that he was in big trouble now.
