章節 23: Chapter 23What happened
Yuan Mansion.
Yuan Guangzheng frowned, his pen hanging in the air, but he didn't know how to put it down.
When I first entered the court as an official, I realized that it was not as simple as imagined.
Although he is a great scholar in the north and is full of knowledge, things in the court are like a mess, especially when some officials in the court form cliques and are all sycophants and people with ulterior motives. They wish that he, the imperial censor, could not move forward .
Moreover, many people are colluding, and officials, big and small, are disobeying his orders and greatly discounting his orders, which is a headache.
Maybe my initial idea was wrong, because only by using thunder can the Chao Gang be eliminated. Otherwise, it would be an improper official to be tied up.
Yuan Guang's eyes gradually became firm.
"Teacher, are you there?"
A cautious voice came from outside the study.
It's disciple Ning Yuan.
Yuan Guang had countless disciples in his life, all of whom were good at learning. However, although they were highly educated, not many were good at governing.
It can be said that Ning Yuan is a disciple that Yuan Guang values very much.
It's a pity that he is too bookish and lacks some decisiveness.
This reminded Mr. Yuan of the young man playing chess with him, who seemed to be fighting for every piece he landed, but after reviewing the game, he discovered that there was murderous intent behind every move.
It's a pity that he doesn't want to be an official.
"come in."
Yuan Guang took back his mind.
Ning Yuan walked in respectfully.
"You know I'm busy with government affairs these days, so I usually don't come to see you. Now that I'm here, what's the matter?"
Ning Yuan first saluted the teacher, and then whispered: "Li Qingxuan was arrested by County Magistrate Wang. The cause was the son of Yushi Liu Heng..."
Ning Yuan told the teacher everything he heard, without asking the teacher to save anyone.
He believed that the teacher would make his own decision on how to deal with it.
"Officials protect each other, but ordinary people have nowhere to redress their grievances."
Yuan Guang snorted coldly.
"This Liu Heng has always pretended to be a loyal and upright person in front of me, but behind his back he has a completely different story. If you hadn't come to report it, I wouldn't have been able to imagine such a dark scene."
"Teacher, if you want to save Li Qingxuan, you must set out as soon as possible, otherwise things may change later."
Ning Yuan said.
Yuan Guang nodded.
"Prepare the carriage immediately. I will clean up the atmosphere in the court. I will start with Magistrate Wang and Yushi Liu."
After saying that, he changed his clothes, walked out of the house, and went straight to the county government office.
…
In the prison, Li Qingxuan and Chen Qingzhi were both shackled and sitting on tattered straw mats.
The cell was very damp, and there were many cockroaches scurrying under the straw mat.
Even a brave mouse stuck out his head to take a look.
Chen Qingzhi stomped him to the ground and was so frightened that he disappeared without a trace.
"This county magistrate is really nothing, sir. Now that we have been arrested, what will we do?"
Chen Qingzhi's face turned red with anger.
"It's okay. In the worst case, we can escape from prison."
"Brother, what are you talking about? Do you think the prison is your home? Get out if you want."
"Come here, come here and give me a leg kick."
It turned out that there were not only Li Qingxuan and the others in the cell, but there were three guys next to them.
One of the bald middle-aged men looked like a prison bully.
He was sleeping when Li Qingxuan came in just now, and he just woke up and was ready to give Li Qingxuan and the others a blow.
But the next moment, Chen Qingzhi gave him a hard elbow, sending the opponent flying as high as a person, hitting the wall and smashing him down, making him cry for father and mother in pain.
The two younger brothers next to them, who were originally preparing to teach Li Qingxuan a lesson, were immediately frightened and shouted, "Master, don't do it."
Chen Qingzhi gave them a blow, and then stood back beside Li Qingxuan.
Li Qingxuan couldn't help but glance at Chen Qingzhi in surprise.
He remembered that when he first met Chen Qingzhi, this guy was full of bookishness and had a good temper, but today he was so irritable.
Sure enough, Xia used force to break the ban.
Chen Qingzhi's temperament and personality have changed a lot since he started martial arts.
Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment.
Huo Ge, the Minister of Punishment, is checking the files.
The empress has only been on the throne for a short period of time. Although the court is basically stable, there are always many cases happening outside the temple, which makes him very busy.
Suddenly, a subordinate hurriedly walked in.
The capital city is changing like clouds.
In order to ensure that the information is well-informed, each official has arranged many spies to pay attention to changes in major mansions.
This subordinate was the leader that Huo Ge arranged to gather information around the palace.
Seeing the other party coming in, Huo Geshangshu's expression changed slightly.
Could it be that something happened in the palace?
He immediately asked anxiously: "What happened?"
"Sir, Huo Gang, commander of the Tianyi Guards, entered the palace just now."
Xue Gang? Doesn't he often enter the palace?
It was worth a special trip for his subordinates to come back and report. He knew there must be other things going on.
Sure enough, the subordinate continued: "Xue Gang left not long after entering the palace, and then went straight to the county government office."
The dignified commander of the Tianyi Guards went to the county government office in person?
Huo Ge's face turned solemn.
The county magistrate is his subordinate. Could it be that something happened that alerted the Tianyi Guards.
Just when Huo Ge was thinking hard, there were hurried footsteps outside the study again.
Another spy.
"Sir, I have something important to report."
"Yuan Guang, the imperial censor, hurriedly left the mansion and took a carriage to the county government office."
"What?"
Huo Ge couldn't sit still at all.
The commander of the Tianyi Guard and the imperial censor went to a small county government office at the same time, which meant that something big had definitely happened in the county government office.
"Get your car ready quickly, I want to go to the county government office to have a look."
"This Magistrate Wang must not cause any serious trouble."
