Chapter 66 The gap between officials is so big
Jiang Ruo thought that Lord Yun had been an official for many years and was the most suitable person to try such a case.
After all, they are professional case handlers.
As the instigator of this incident, I should assist to the end.
If this matter gets out of hand, it will have to be reported to the dog emperor. However, with the sword in his name, the dog emperor will not dare to go too far.
After all, he cherishes his prestige among the people.
It is said that when Xiao Junze ascended the throne, he promised that he would be a wise ruler respected by all the people.
He would definitely not openly protect the Queen's cousin if he did something like this...
I guess the queen would be very angry too.
Hehe! If the dog emperor knew that it was him who did it, he would definitely cause trouble for Jiang Qinian.
Uh, how could she forget that he had already severed the father-daughter relationship with her!
Good! Good break.
If nothing unexpected happens, the Dog Emperor should send another group of assassins to kill them.
Let’s finish this matter as soon as possible and leave as soon as possible.
And Qin's guards must be going crazy with anxiety.
Outside the government office, Yun Zhongan faced pairs of eager eyes, his lips moving slightly.
Hey, the older you get, the less promising you become.
You can't blame him for being pretentious. He really has an indescribable feeling about Shengzhou City.
Initially, the late emperor felt that his character was too straightforward and that he was not suitable to stay in the capital, a place where the powerful were flattered and the weak were looked down upon.
The late emperor transferred himself from the capital to Shengzhou to serve as the prefect.
The throne has changed, and in the blink of an eye... eighteen years have passed.
"My fellow countrymen, are you all well?"
When asked this, the people could no longer hold back. With tears in their eyes, they nodded and said yes.
Jiang Ruo walked out of the government office and saw the scene in front of him. He couldn't help but sigh: What a warm scene of "officials and people are one family"!
Why is it so inexplicably touching?
It is a blessing for the people to have such officials!
Yun Zhongan quickly noticed the extraordinary woman in front of him.
When he saw the sword in her hand, he was stunned for a moment, then he knelt down and saluted, "Your humble servant pays homage to the emperor. Long live the emperor."
Unexpectedly, he would be able to see the Dragon Soul Sword in his lifetime.
The moment Yun Zhongan knelt down, Jiang Ruo held up the sword with both hands.
"Lord Yun, please stand up!" After Jiang Ruo finished speaking, a strange emotion flashed in his eyes.
Alas, when I saw Lord Yun, I suddenly missed the old man very much.
After Yun Zhongan stood up, he considered his words in his mind and said, "Madam Xiao, after I enter Shengzhou City and hear what happened today, how do you plan to deal with it?"
He came to Shengzhou City this time originally intending to ask the prefect to withdraw his salary in advance, but who knew this would happen.
What should I do?
Jiang Ruo smiled, "Lord Yun is regarded by the people as a fatherly official who enforces the law impartially. How about you take charge of this matter?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhongan frowned slightly.
As a small county magistrate, interfering in the affairs of the Shengzhou prefect was an act of usurpation.
He was not afraid of the fact that the prefect was the queen's cousin.
His position is there, he has no right to interfere in these matters!
The people could see Yun Zhongan's dilemma, but in order to keep him, they gave it their all.
After a few people took the lead and knelt, the people all knelt on the ground, "Lord Yun, please take care of this matter!"
"That bastard official not only increased our taxes, he also colluded with bandits and bullies..."
"Don't worry, we will jointly submit a petition to the court, asking the emperor to allow you to return to Shengzhou City as prefect."
After hearing what the people said, Yun Zhongan's expression became a little complicated.
He had heard that in recent years, Lord Chu had gradually increased taxes on the people.
However, colluding with bandits and bullies... is a bit too much!
Now that the people have said this, I can't just stand by and watch.
Forget it, the worst that can happen is that I’ll be dismissed from my post by the emperor.
After weighing the pros and cons, Yun Zhongan nodded and said, "I promise you, I will do my best to handle this matter."
"Everyone, please get up quickly!"
Upon hearing this, the people stood up with joy on their faces.
Although Chu Wenqian was kneeling on the ground in the court, he kept his ears perked up to listen to the movements here.
When I heard the conversation between them, I was furious.
A small seventh-rank county magistrate actually dared to interfere in this matter.
There are also these unruly people who want to jointly submit a memorial to the court.
The emperor's mind is unpredictable. If the emperor knew that I had accumulated wealth for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...
Thinking of this, Chu Wenqian suddenly felt a little scared.
He knew very well that if this matter got out of hand, even his cousin the Queen would not be able to save him.
No, I have to find an opportunity to write a letter to the capital.
After Jiang Ruo and his group entered the court, Chu Wenqian immediately gave Yun Zhongan a warning look, telling him not to meddle in other people's business.
Yun Zhongan had been an official for many years and didn't take Chu Wenqian's threatening look seriously at all.
If he was really dismissed by the emperor, he would return to the countryside to live a quiet life.
Master Su looked at the "meddling" Yun Zhongan and held his forehead helplessly.
A few days ago, a "blind" old woman tried to scam me and extorted a tael of silver from me.
I was "scammed" by the people today.
Oh no! Now it’s bad, I’m afraid I can’t keep this small position as county magistrate.
When the other people who reported the case saw Yun Zhongan, they felt like they saw a savior.
This time, their affairs could be properly handled.
Yun Zhongan sat in the upper seat in a cloth robe. Although his attire was out of place in this court, the righteous aura he exuded could not be ignored.
Jiang Ruo looked at Yun Zhongan's serious expression and secretly gave him a thumbs up.
The gap between officials is so huge.
When people sit here, they are worthy of the four words on the plaque.
Some people sit there and they can control their official authority very well.
Yun Zhongan slammed the gavel, his tone neither humble nor arrogant, "Who in the hall is there? Tell me all the injustices you have suffered."
A lame middle-aged man was the first to kneel down. "Your Excellency, I used to run a restaurant. Business was booming, and customers kept coming in one after another..."
"Two years ago, a group of strong men suddenly ate and drank their fill at a restaurant and then insisted that I had poisoned the food."
"From then on, they went to the restaurant every day to smash things up and cause trouble, and secretly forced me to hand over all my recipes."
"He also threatened that if I didn't hand over the recipe and leave, he would kill my entire family."
"I came to the government office to report a case. Lord Chu said he would handle it impartially and told me to go home and wait for the result."
"Unexpectedly, on my way home, I was put into a sack and beaten. They even broke my right leg."
"In order to save my family, I had no choice but to sell the restaurant at a low price..."
At this point, everyone already understands the whole story.
Yun Zhongan immediately ordered the yamen runners to arrest the bullies.
Jiang Ruo looked at Chu Wenqian's frightened expression and sneered.
After she came to Chu Wenqian's side, she whispered, "Are you scared? Even if the evidence is irrefutable, even your cousin, the Queen, can't save you!"
Chu Wenqian gritted his teeth and replied, "You've made such a big deal out of this, aren't you afraid that the Emperor will cause trouble for you?"
Jiang Ruo raised her eyebrows and smiled, "No, I'm not afraid."
What’s the use of being afraid?
He also assassinates those who cause trouble.
If he doesn't cause trouble, he will also assassinate.
You made me worried, so what if I give you some trouble?
