Chapter 66?? More ruthless
Standing at the window of the third floor room and looking at the County Magistrate He who entered Juxian Building, Pei Changhao's face darkened.
He was so familiar with the expression of County Magistrate He, a typical reckless and angry youth expression after more than a thousand years.
County Magistrate He had a look of contempt on his face and a thorny aura all over his body, as if everyone owed him great kindness. When he entered the gate of Juxian Building, he raised his head high and did not look at the attentive guy who greeted him at all. When he was air, the two captains following behind County Magistrate He was much better. He nodded and fisted to the attentive guy who greeted him.
The two captains, as they walked along the way, had almost never looked at County Guard He. It seemed that they did not respect County Guard He so much, but they might have links to interests, so they came to Juxian Building together.
It was faintly felt that the relationship between the magistrate Cao County and the magistrate He County Magistrate was probably very bad. If it weren't for thinking that it was the relationship between colleagues and superiors and subordinates, and the county government office was in charge of government affairs, and the magistrate He County Magistrate Cao would have thought of a way to exclude and plot.
No one likes such subordinates and colleagues.
He County Wei was 32 years old and had undergone the scientific examination of the Mingjing Department in Beijing. As a Jinshi in the Mingjing Department, he had no connections and had not been sent by the Ministry of Personnel for a long time. He finally got a position, but he was a military lieutenant from the ninth rank and had to give 100 taels of silver to take office. Such an experience would be a big blow to his individual, and it was normal to have some resentment in his heart.
In addition, He County Wei came from an ordinary family and was afraid that he would encounter many cold treatments on weekdays. He thought that he could completely turn over and get respect from others after passing the Ming Dynasty and becoming an official in the court. Who knew that the reality was not like this at all. Such a situation led to greater resentment in his heart.
It doesn’t matter if you have resentment. Many times, strong resentment in your heart can become a huge driving force for moving forward. However, putting this resentment on your face is a taboo, and anyone who sees it will feel uncomfortable.
This type of people have no scheming. If they are in the officialdom, they have a very distinctive characteristic, they are arrogant at first and respectful at the last, and have completely different attitudes towards the superiors and the subordinates. When they see superiors who can determine their own destiny, they are humble and down to the dust, they see subordinates, domineering, mean and ruthless, and when they see bureaucratic colleagues at the same level, they are ignorant and self-righteous.
Little do you know that the relationship between superiors and subordinates is relative, especially in troubled times, the grassroots can become a prince in a country. Someone you look down on is likely to become your direct superior one day, or even someone who determines your destiny. At that time, you will have no place to go if you regret it.
Pei Changhao was almost certain that County Magistrate He, who has such a personality, was a tragedy in the officialdom. Not only could he be promoted, but he would have a miserable future. You should know that the Tang Dynasty was originally a chaotic world, and life was like grass. Not to mention a county Magistrate who was from the ninth rank, even Pei Che, who was the prime minister, would not have suffered a murder.
It should be said that before meeting He County Weiwei, Pei Changhao had some ideas. If He County Weiwei was really a capable person, it would be a good thing to win over him. No matter what, He County Weiwei was a Jinshi in the Mingjing Certificate and a knowledgeable person. As long as he was not so pedantic and had a certain ability, there would always be something useful.
When Pei Changhao saw County Magistrate He for the first time, he completely gave up the idea of winning over.
Just as County Magistrate He went upstairs, Pei Changhao returned to his normal state and a smile appeared on his face.
Luo Wenhua, who had a barely smile on his face, followed behind County Weir He and appeared in front of Pei Changhao.
"Prince He, Mr. Pei is our boss, boss, this is He County Wei of Jiyuan County..."
Before Luo Wenhua was introduced, County Magistrate He narrowed his eyes and looked at Pei Changhao and spoke.
"So you are Mr. Pei, the owner of Jiyuanlou. He is very brave. I heard that you are still guilty."
A sense of anger popped out of her chest, and Pei Changhao also narrowed his eyes and looked at County Magistrate He and spoke.
"Minister He said that I was guilty. Could it be that the emperor had an imperial edict, or that Jiyuan County received a document from the court that I was guilty. If that were the case, He County Wei was responsible for the security of Jiyuan County and should take me away."
County Magistrate He was stunned for a moment. He probably didn't expect that the handsome young master Pei in front of him would speak without any politeness.
After pondering for a moment, County Magistrate He spoke again.
"Young Master Pei, don't let me talk about Ling Zun much. According to the Tang Dynasty's laws, the crime of treason will be implicated in the family."
Pei Changhao showed a sneer on his face.
"Wei County Magistrate He said it well, but so far, I have not seen the emperor's imperial edict, nor the court's documents. No one said that my father was a crime of corruption. Could it be that the county Magistrate He can represent the emperor and the court and determine that my father was a crime of corruption? By the way, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the crime of corruption is not only implicating the family, but also involving three tribes. In serious cases, nine tribes can be implicated. Could it be that the county Magistrate He received the emperor's imperial edict and was preparing to liquidate my Peijiazhuang."
Anger appeared on County Magistrate He's face and his face also became darker.
"Mr. Pei, my official is the county magistrate of Jiyuan County, how can I open a river without hesitation?"
Pei Changhao waved to Luo Wenhua.
"Brother Luo, please go and greet the guests, don't delay the restaurant business. Since County Magistrate He wants to settle my Peijiazhuang, I will talk to County Magistrate He. After understanding the reason, I will immediately return to Peijiazhuang to report to the patriarch. At that time, my Peijiazhuang must go to the capital to apologize and wait for the emperor and the court to deal with it."
County Magistrate He finally changed a little. He heard some rumors and probably knew Pei Changhao's ability. He thought that saying a few words of scary words would make the other party surrender, but he didn't expect that he didn't care at all.
But when it comes to this, County Magistrate He will never admit defeat.
"Young Master Pei, what you want to do is your business. I have said everything I should say. Don't blame me for being ruthless at that time."
Pei Changhao smiled indifferently.
"Thanks to the county lieutenant He for his reminder. I will definitely pay attention, but I also want to remind He County lieutenant that as a county lieutenant of Jiyuan County, he instigated and instructed rogues to provoke trouble and knew that the law was violated. According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, the crime was higher than the first level. The minor ones were removed from office, and the serious ones were exiled to the border..."
Before Pei Changhao finished speaking, County Magistrate He also showed an indifferent expression on his face.
"Mr. Pei, I don't need you to teach you. I will warn you that the crime of falsely accusing officials of the court is not less than the crime of treason. I think you are younger and young, and I don't plan to pursue it. If you mention this matter in front of me, then I will be welcome."
Pei Changhao shook his head. He felt that this county lieutenant He was too naive. If Pei Changhao had no support or was incapable of being a fool, he might be frightened and beg for mercy. Unfortunately, behind Pei Changhao was the Pei family, a small county lieutenant who came from the ninth rank, was really not a dish of the Pei family.
"Oh, County Magistrate He is really powerful. It is amazing to say that I am accusing the imperial officials of the court. County Magistrate He is such a great official power. I am accused of such a big crime and the previous crime. I am determined to be a death sentence. However, County Magistrate He is not counted. I have to think about it seriously. I will report to the family for this matter so as not to cause trouble for the family. At that time, we will go to Dali Temple in the capital to defend it. By the way, I will also see if I am a guilty person."
After Pei Changhao said that, County Magistrate He's face changed again.
"Young Master Pei, two or three rogues in the market, have false accusations. See if the court believes in you or believe me."
In desperation, County Magistrate He let out a word. Those who understand a little can hear such harsh and introverted words.
Of course, Pei Changhao must seize the weakness of County Magistrate He.
"I don't care who the court believes in. At that time, the three people who testify will follow me to the Dali Temple in the capital. If one of them falsely accused He County Magistrate, the court will naturally make the decision for He County Magistrate. If all three of them falsely accused He County Magistrate, then they would be a serious crime. If they were not sure of being beheaded, of course, if the court can return He County Magistrate's innocence, then I would naturally believe it."
"If the court finds out everything and proves that the three of them falsely accused County Magistrate He, no matter how they deal with it, I will accept it. But if the three of them say the truth, then I will also argue with the court. County Magistrate He said that I am guilty and the accounts must be settled together."
Pei Changhao's tone was very cold, and the breath revealed all over his body made County Weir He feel a little cold.
"Pei, Mr. Pei, don't go too far. Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"
Pei Changhao waved his hand.
"Of course, he has the ability. The Jiyuan County Magistrate is responsible for the public security of the county. However, I am a civilian, it is not a big deal. Well, today I will go to the county government office to find the magistrate Cao County, and ask the magistrate Cao County to find out the matter and maintain justice for my Juxianlou."
County Magistrate He finally changed completely. He pointed at Pei Changhao and spoke furiously.
"Mr. Pei, let's take a look and see if County Magistrate Cao believes your words..."
While speaking, County Magistrate He turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wei County Magistrate He, don't worry. The banquet has been prepared. I have sent the confessions of the three rascals to the county government office to ask the magistrate Cao to make a decision. We have so confident that we don't worry. Let's see what the magistrate Cao said. If the magistrate Cao thinks that I am accusing the imperial officials and making trouble, I will naturally apologize to the magistrate He and wait for the magistrate's disposal."
County Magistrate He turned around, stared at Pei Changhao with wide eyes, and his face turned pale.
"Pei, Mr. Pei, what do you want to do?"
Pei Changhao shook his head.
"Prince He, I don't want to do anything, I just want to seek justice."
"You, don't go too far..."
"I am guilty and falsely accusing the imperial officials of the court. How can I bear such a serious crime? I asked the magistrate Cao to uphold justice and keep his own innocence. It is too much. I don't understand what He County Magistrate He said. Forget it, County Magistrate He, you and I don't want to talk about it. Let's prepare a banquet. Please come in to the magistrate He County Magistrate. I'll treat you to this meal today."
