Chapter 17 The Treacherous Good Official

Not only Xu Zhijin was stunned, but even Chu Zhi and Liu Dagui were stunned.

Xu Zhijin actually has so many sins and they don’t know? This guy is so hateful!

Li Zheng shook the account book in his hand and shouted loudly, "Xu Zhijin, all your evidence of guilt is on this!"

When Xu Zhijin saw this account book, his face turned pale and he was stunned.

"Prince Chu, I'm now ordering you to capture Xu Zhijin immediately. If someone stops you, kill him or her!

Chu Zhi clasped his fists and said loudly, "Sir, obey the order!"

After County Magistrate Li said this, the soldiers on Xu Zhijin's mansion were stunned.

The reason why they resisted Liu Dagui and others before was mostly because they were bewitched by Xu Zhijin, but now County Magistrate Li has come in person and read out Xu Zhijin's evidence in person. Is there any falsehood? If you do it now, killing will be light!

Just now, they fought with Liu Dagui's people, so they had already openly resisted the court and were punished for rebellion, which would kill the nine clans.

In addition, among the many evidences that County Magistrate Li just read, the deduction of the salary of the soldiers in the palace, abuse of the families of the soldiers, and the occupation of the soldiers' wives and daughters of the soldiers are all closely related to them. He worked hard to protect the county magistrate Xu here, but Xu Zhijin did this behind his back.

Only a fool will continue to work hard for him!

"Li Zheng! You're talking nonsense! I don't, I don't!" Seeing Chu Zhi walking towards him, Xu Zhijin was completely panicked, "Come, come, come! Stop him quickly! They are framed and framed me!"

Xu Zhijin shouted several times, but suddenly found that not only no one came to help him, the few close-knit soldiers around him actually retreated consciously.

"You would rather believe his nonsense! I usually take you!" Xu Zhijin looked at the people around him incredibly.

Li Zheng snorted coldly, "Xu Zhijin, they know more than anyone else what you do. Do you still want them to work hard for you now? Do you still want them to ignore their family and die with you?"

Xu Zhijin was already in a state of confusion at this time, and could not say that Li Zheng could not say that he could not say that he could not run away from Chu Zhi.

"Xu Zhijin, you have today too!" Chu Zhi and Liu Dagui were not polite at all, and they pressed Xu Zhijin in front of Li Zheng.

"Sir, what should we do with these soldiers?" asked a soldier brought by Li Zheng.

Li Zheng thought for a while, then looked at the soldiers of the Xu Mansion.

"You are all bewitched, and I, Li Zheng, are not a person who is not aware of right and wrong. I will give you a chance to reform. I ask you, from now on, are you willing to follow me?"

The soldiers of the Xu Mansion looked at each other, but I don’t know who took the lead and knelt down in tears, “Thank you, Lord Li, I am willing to follow Lord Li!”

Bang, bang, the soldiers next to them threw away their weapons and knelt down one after another, "We are willing to follow Lord Li!"

Li Zheng nodded slightly. The loyalty of these people still needs to be examined, but it can be used for the time being.

If his own rebel soldiers were going to cause trouble, these newly surrendered soldiers could also serve as a deterrent.

"Okay, County Magistrate Chu, now I'll escort Xu Zhijin to the government office and I'll decide the case in court!"

………………………………………

The yamen runners were all from Li Zheng, and they were indeed captured. The so-called trial was a formality. Within twenty minutes, Xu Zhijin's crime was decided.

Xu Zhijin has been taken into custody, and Li Zheng has kept Chu Zhi and Liu Dagui.

According to the process at this time, the county magistrate has the power to make judgments, but when he wants to execute the prisoner, he must report it to the Ministry of Justice. In addition, Wang Yuan and Xu Zhijin are both officials appointed by the court, so Li Zheng has no right to execute him directly.

But the problem lies in the fact that Chu Zhi has killed Wang Yuan.

"Sir, since I, Chu Zhi, violated the law, I am willing to bear all the consequences and have no complaints!"

Li Zheng gave Chu Zhi a blank look, "What law does it mean to do? These two people deserve to be killed. Can I still let you go and bury Wang Yuan?"

Chu Zhi suddenly choked up, and he looked at Li Zheng excitedly, "Sir, I..."

"Okay, stop talking. Now I'm looking for you to find a way, not to let you die."

In fact, Li Zheng was simply aware of such a small matter.

Although he is still a good official now, he is not a good official. The most important thing is that he did not even think about being loyal to the court.

He didn't even want to be loyal to the Global Federation, let alone Emperor Yang of Sui...

As for the current laws, he doesn't care. The reason why he is still law-abiding is that he doesn't want to cause trouble for himself.

In order to instigate the soldiers of the Xu Mansion, he would not hesitate to fabricate a lot of false charges for Xu Zhijin, so he could find ways to get more loopholes.

But he had to say some words by himself, obviously it was not effective for Chu Zhi or Liu Dagui to say them.

Liu Dagui did not disappoint Li Zheng's expectations, and immediately thought of a method, "When the case was tried just now, Xu Zhijin had already suspected that Wang Yuan was dead, and this matter could not be hidden for long. I think we might as well do it all the time and directly beat Xu Zhijin..." Liu Dagui made a beheading gesture.

"This..." Chu Zhi has an official position, but he is still somewhat pedantic.

Liu Dagui was a little impatient, "Brother Chu, we already know Mr. Li's character, and we don't have to hide it from Mr. Li."

"If I die in the war today, Emperor Yang of Sui is very happy with merits, builds great construction, and fights everywhere. He wants to be famous in history, but the unlucky one is not the people in the world? How could he, the emperor, treat the people as human beings?"

"And he is not really committed to the country. Why did he dig canals? It's not for the convenience of traveling around, building dragon boats, building palaces, how many people died? Do he care? You said such an emperor, why are we still loyal to him?"

Li Zheng looked at Liu Dagui in surprise. Although this guy was a bit rude, he actually saw so clearly.

Of course, he is just a commoner, and his feelings are not comparable to those of historians. He is at the bottom of this torrent of history, but he can see it more clearly than Chu Zhi.

Chu Zhi didn't expect that Liu Dagui would say all these rebellious words in an impulse, and he winked at Liu Dagui desperately, signaling him not to say anything more.

But Liu Dagui didn't care, "If there are many heroic uprisings today, it would be nice that we didn't rise up, and we still care about the violations of the rules!" Liu Dagui said, looking at Chu Zhi with regret, "I guess those guys from Shangshu Province don't care!"

Liu Dagui said it was so happy, but it scared Chu Zhi so much that he hurriedly clasped his fists at Li Zheng, "Mr. Li, Dagui was talking nonsense just now, please don't take it to heart."

After Chu Zhi finished speaking, he looked at Li Zheng nervously, trying to see a hint of clue from his expression.

Li Zheng thought about it and waved his hand, "It's okay, what Dagui said, I basically agree."

"ah?"

Is this what a county magistrate should say?

Li Zheng smiled slightly, "Chu Zhi, you don't have to think too much. Killing Xu Zhijin directly is the best way to do it now, but we can't just kill him like this, it doesn't make sense to reason or law."

"Dagui, you can do this in person. I will see Xu Zhijin commit suicide in fear of guilt early tomorrow morning!"

Liu Dagui didn't understand what Li Zheng meant for a moment, and looked embarrassed, "Mr. Li, if that guy has a little conscience, how could he do so many things that hurt the world? How could he be afraid of his own crime..."

Before he could say the last word "kill", Liu Dagui was suddenly stunned. He seemed to understand what Lord Li meant.

Lord Li wanted to make himself fake a scene of suicide fearing guilt.

Suddenly, Liu Dagui slapped himself in the thigh, "Sir, this plan is very wonderful!"
