Chapter 55, greedy for self-interest
Zu Ke's angry attitude shocked Wang Xianjun and others. Anyway, after all, the Zu family is a rich family, and there are more than 100 Jiashi boarding counties at present. Such threats should not be underestimated. However, Wang Xianjun held his own identity and still showed a posture of official pressure and rudely shot the case.
"You wait to gather the crowd without authorization, and there is no support in advance. What you know is that you came to suppress the thief, but you don't know that you are stubborn and rebel! I haven't investigated your case yet. How can you dare to shout at me?
"That's right, hiding armor is a felony. Don't think your ancestors are great. The county owner's book was unforgiving, as if he were pretending to be a tiger.
But even so, after all, it caught the weakness of the ancestors. It's not Xu Wu here. The influence of the ancestral family may not be useful. If the people in neighboring counties make a big deal of this matter, I'm afraid the consequences will be unimaginable. There were many civil strife in the Han Dynasty, and various places were very careful about military armor. Although the Han Dynasty is in decline today, they have to be worried if they really want to straighten up.
Zu Fan knew his personal interests best, so he quickly pulled Zu Ke's sleeve and gave him a look.
Zu Ke had a good temper and couldn't care so much. He shook off Zu Fan's hand and stared at a few people in the county government.
Even Tian Xian is sweating at this moment. He still has a good impression on Zu Zhao and doesn't want it to be a big deal.
"Since the county lord has closed the case, we and others should not be too entangled. However, after all, this matter has a lot to do with my ancestors. Such thieves robbed my ancestors' horses and killed my ancestors' families. If they don't investigate the whole case, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make an explanation to the families of the deceased. At this time, Zu Zhao, who had not spoken much, said lurely. His face was calm, and although he spoke neither arrogant nor humble, he also had an unquestionable situation.
"What do you want, Mr. Zu?" Wang Xianjun still didn't buy it on the surface, but he already thought that this matter should be done sooner. It was cold in the middle of the night, and he was looking forward to returning to his hot bed as soon as possible.
"I can ask more about Wang Daren's final case, but please make it convenient for me to ask a few thieves in prison in person. I don't know if it's okay?" Zu Zhao said calmly. Since he guessed that Wang Xianjun and others had self-interest, there was no need to ask the bottom line in Lingzhi County. It was nothing more than that the thief was detained here, so he directly asked clues from the thief.
"If you praise you and call you an ancestor, how dare you kick your nose and face? Where is the prison? Can you grass people come and go freely? Nonsense!" Before Wang Xianjun opened his mouth, the county magistrate's book deliberately laughed and teased.
"Son, you don't have to worry about this matter. Even if these thieves have any conspiracy, now they have broken the thieves, they dare not commit it again. Several Japanese officials reported the matter to the county government and will never forget to mention that Mr. Zu and others fought bravely to kill the thief. Let's come to an end." Wang Xianjun didn't care about Zu Zhao's request. Not to mention Zu Zhao, even if ordinary people want to go to prison to visit relatives is just a simple thing. It's just that he really doesn't want his ancestors to be entangled in this matter. This time, as a county magist, he didn't do anything. Isn't it ridiculous to spread it?
The case in front of us is either a great achievement or a responsibility for dereliction of duty, which is the key is the influence of these ancestors. The most urgent thing he hopes for is that the Zu family can leave quickly so that he can do a good job.
After saying that, he didn't wait for Zu Zhao to have anything else to say, so he gave up and led the crowd away.
Zu Ke was so angry that he wanted to catch up with him, but he was blocked by Zu Fan and Tian Xian.
"How can this bird man neglect his duty!" Zu Ke cursed.
Tian Xian quickly looked back at the porch, worried that the county magistrate would hear this rudeness, and there would be another investigation.
"Uncle Ke, that's all." Zu Zhao reminded Zu Ke in a positive voice.
"Big son, so that's it? My ancestors' children killed the thief with blood, but they got such a result. Not to mention that I and my brothers can't breathe, how can I explain to the families of the victims after going back? Zu Ke said fiercely.
"Yes, there must be a conspiracy in this matter, and I don't know if those barbarians are specifically targeting my ancestors. At this time, if you don't figure out what happened, wouldn't it be such an adventure for nothing? Zu Li was also resentful and said with disgust on his face.
"First of all, after running around for so long, everyone will go back to the hall to rest and make plans after tomorrow." Zu Zhao said quietly in a leader-like tone.
"Big son! How can you just stop like this?"
"Well, I'm going to ask Wang to understand."
Zhu Ke and Zu Li will not give up. They can only make up their mind. As an elder, of course, they have to play an example at this moment.
"Uncle Ke, Uncle Li, this is not me, Xu Wu. If you make a big deal, who can end this scene?" Zu Zhao suddenly aggravated his tone and said without anger.
"What can a small county do for me?" Zu Ke did not accept it.
"Do you want to rebel?" Before Zu Ke's voice settled, Zu Zhao scolded harshly.
This is obviously a pun. On the one hand, it is said that Zu Ke wants to rebel against the government, and on the other hand, it is hinting that he will not accept the eldest son of the ancestral family.
Zu Zhao's short sentence is very imposing and majestic. The small hall was suddenly silent. Even though Zu Ke was still dissatisfied with the lessons of the younger generation, he also felt the pressure from Zu Zhao's aura and dared not say more.
Tian Xian looked embarrassed and silent. As a county magistrate, he was caught in his emotions and had many unspeakable secrets.
After a while, Zu Zhao saw that Zu Ke did not continue to toss around, so he turned to Tian Xian and apologized: "Let Lord Tian laugh. I'll leave when I wait here."
Tian Xian sighed, nodded slightly, and said, "You have been working for a long time, and you should have a good rest."
When Zu Zhao and others came out of the county government, Tian Xian accompanied him all the time. When he came to the gate of the county government, everyone got on the horse one after another. Zu Zhao was not in a hurry to get on the horse. He deliberately slowed down and suddenly turned back at this time. Tian Xian, who stood not far away, seemed to be aware and slowly stepped forward.
Zu Zhao saluted Tian Xian and said, "Lord Tian, this time the thief gathered a crowd. I believe you are also worried. It's not in the next cup of bow and snake shadow. This time, the thief first robbed my ancestral caravan and dived around your county. It must be a conspiracy. Therefore, when Wangxianjun interrogated those thieves, Lord Tian must be present and dares to ask Lord Tian, can these thieves confess their plans?
Tian Xian sighed slowly and said, "I also feel the worries of Mr. Zu. The few thief chiefs interrogated in the hall hardly had much clues, which was nothing more than that Taipingdao colluded with the Hu people in an attempt to rob the official road. The torture has also been used, and the words of these thieves are nothing new.
Zuzuo's face was thoughtful. He believed Tian Xian's words, and there was no need for the other party to hide anything. However, if it is really as the other party said, there is no other plan for the thief to get together at all. It is nothing more than to have something to do with the Hu people and want to be invited to do some family robberies. But if that's all, there are obviously too many things that don't make sense.
Among other things, the black thieves actually had something to do with his grandfather in those years. If this reappearance is just a coincidence, there are too many things that can't be said. What's more, the Black Arrow Hu people are obviously different this time, and there must be more things to consider, which makes this matter more complicated.
After a long silence, he still said, "If so, maybe it's just overthinking."
Tian Xian shook his head and said, "Mr. Zu is by no means too worried. In fact, he also deeply feels that there is a big difference in this matter. Alas, to be honest, Wang Xianjun is greedy and afraid of things, which is not enough to plan at all. If this matter passes by, I'm afraid it will leave a big trouble.
Zushio saw that Tian Xian was indeed not a pedantic person, so the next thing would be much easier. Immediately, he showed a serious and sincere attitude and said solemnly, "Lord Tian has such concerns and respects me. Although it's a pity that I am white, I also have a sincere heart. Since Lord Tian and I both think that there must be a secret in this matter, can you arrange to send someone to your county prison tomorrow and carefully interrogate the thief?
Tian Xian frowned slightly and was about to speak, but he wanted to stop talking.
Zuo Zhao saw that Tian Xian must be in trouble. After waiting for a while, he said, "If Lord Tian is in trouble, he will never force others. It's just that I'm afraid it can only come to an end.
Tian Xian sighed and said in a low voice, "Don't do this. It's only today that the county magistrate has come to a conclusion, and I'm afraid it will be inconvenient in the near future. If time passes, it will not be difficult."
Zuzuo smiled and said, "Lord Tian said so, and I would be very grateful. When is it convenient for Lord Ruotian, I will make arrangements later. In any case, this matter will be investigated and found out.
Tian Zhengxian nodded and said in a positive voice, "Mr. Zu is righteous, and I admire him. The specific arrangement will be arranged after dawn, and then go to Guanyi for a while and discuss it in detail.
Zui Zhao said, "Okay. Thank you, Lord Tian."
