Chapter 184 Different visions, different practices
Yu Liang lived in a mansion, which was the property of a friend of his in Pengcheng. It was a yard with two entrances and two exits. The place was not big, but the layout was exquisite. Xu Hui and others sat in the main hall waiting.
They had to come.
Compared to Zhuge Yan's attack, other government affairs can be released first. Any related matters will attract the attention of officials from all over the country. Even if they are not convinced, they must be taken seriously on the surface. This is a matter of attitude.
What else can show more importance than coming to ask yourself when you hear that the case has progressed?
So they were still discussing while waiting.
"Didn't Yu Liang go to Wobinglou to Tanxuan yesterday? How could he still catch someone?" Xu Hui asked. He received the news early in the morning and rushed over without having time to understand the process.
County Magistrate Yang Yong briefly introduced: "Reported to Shangguan, it was his subordinate. After he caught the person, he directly notified Yu Jingshi."
"So that's the case. It's such a good helper. Yu Liang caught a few fish that missed the net while talking about the mysterious theories. It's really not easy." Xu Hui praised.
Yang Yong also nodded and said, "That's not the case. In contrast, the man who was in charge did not see any movement. I don't know what these two gourds are selling..." He vaguely pointed out a guess in everyone's heart.
"Everyone, I've been waiting for a long time."
While talking, Yu Liang's voice came from the side. He had finished washing up, walked out with a bright face and a smile.
"I already know your purpose. You might as well eat and say that my chef was brought from the capital. His craftsmanship is excellent. Even the emperor praised him after eating it."
Xu Hui, Yang Yong and others wanted to say that they had eaten it, but when they heard this, they immediately put it back in their stomachs. Why would you refuse the craft that the Emperor had eaten?
Then, the servant walked past like flowing water and placed several small tables in front of everyone. The exquisite breakfast was brought up one by one, looking fresh but not strong.
Yu Liang smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Everyone, please have a meal."
Xu Hui and others nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Yu Liangguo was like a famous scholar. With this move, they all calmed down and took the initiative to lose everything.
"Last night, I was lucky enough to catch several fish that missed the net."
After taking a few bites, everyone praised the chef's skills and it was difficult to get into the topic. Yu Liang mentioned what happened last night and said lightly, but no one present could tell. The censor was very proud.
Next, the crowd praised it.
Yu Liang was humble all the time, and after a few words, he suddenly mentioned: "However, please tell Zhang Zheng about this matter. After all, he is the master of justice and it is hard to interfere in the matter."
When he heard this, Xu Hui and others looked at each other, their faces became strange, and they were embarrassed.
Over the past few days, Yu Liang, the servant, made some noise, but he could not see Zhang Ruo's traces. Pengcheng has some reputation. Now that he heard Yu Liang's words, he is finally sure.
"This is the censor, and there is indeed a conflict between the censor and the chief lieutenant. Is this going to force us to take the side? If we really report the case, as a subordinate official, should we report to the chief official? Which round of us will we do?"
Xu Hui and others realized that the smell inside was a little wrong.
"Are these two really doing their own things?"
It has been a while since the special envoy arrived in Pengcheng. The conflict between the official and the subordinate officials gradually emerged. Even though Xu Hui and others did not deliberately understand it, they could still smell signs based on the instinct of the officials.
However, the official and subordinate officials of the special envoy had conflicts, but it was enough for them to keep their duties seriously. They did not need to stand for the two foreign households. If Yu Liang felt that he could take advantage of the situation and let them surrender, it would be difficult for everyone to directly object, but it would be okay to disobey him or her work or not to work hard. At that time, Yu Liang would not be able to do anything.
These thoughts appeared more or less on everyone's faces and were captured by Yu Liang. The eyes of the censor changed slightly.
Sure enough, if you do things without establishing your authority, these people will not be afraid of power and virtue. You must find an excuse to let these people in Pengcheng know how powerful I am.
Thinking of this, Yu Liang had another thought.
According to his original plan, he came to Pengcheng to accumulate qualifications this time, but Zhang Ruoheng made a mess of his plan. However, it was also an opportunity. As long as he showed stronger abilities than Zhang Ruo, it would undoubtedly be an ideal gilding journey.
Therefore, he raised Chen Zhi in front of Tao Ya and others and helped them win over. In front of Xu Hui and others, he mentioned Zhang Ruo again, hoping to make Xu Hui and the others express his opinion. Unfortunately, it seems that he is too anxious now and is eager to let someone take the side before he really does anything. This is a very immature manifestation.
Yu Liang also realized this.
"The easiest way to surpass Zhang Ruo is to subdue the officials in this place. With their help, it will not only facilitate investigation of the case, but also affect Zhang Ruo's orders. However, it is not easy to subdue them quickly. Fortunately, I happened to have a card in my hand. If this card is used well, it will be more than one arrow."
Thinking of this, Yu Liang suddenly changed his words: "You can let go of what you told Zhang Zheng first. It is not too late to go and explain to him after I understand the situation clearly."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the somewhat solemn atmosphere returned to calm.
Just when Xu Hui and others thought the meeting was about to end, Yu Liang suddenly said: "I heard that Chen Zhi, a famous scholar in Pengcheng, visited the library yesterday and solved many cases. It's amazing, it means there are people in Pengcheng."
The scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone looked at each other a few times, but no one spoke easily, because the matter was completely unfinished and everyone was not sure about the reason. Moreover, they all heard the rumors and couldn't figure out what Yu Liang intended, so they watched it.
Yang Yong was a little surprised and asked subconsciously: "Chen Zhi went to the library? Why don't I know? What did he do there?"
"Mr. Yang doesn't know?" Yu Liang smiled, "Then you need to know it well, and it's also a reward."
According to Yu Liang's past experience, after he said this, officials with positions like the county magistrate would immediately express it, saying that they would ask about it when they go back and then what to do.
Unexpectedly, Yang Yong just nodded and stopped talking, as if everything should be done.
This made Yu Liang a little confused. He couldn't say a lot of things afterwards, and he felt uncomfortable. But on the surface, he was still calm and he only showed strange things inadvertently.
Finally, when breakfast came to an end, everyone was willing to say goodbye. Yu Liang couldn't help but say, "Mr. Yang, don't you ask about the situation? If this matter is true, then it would be a bit wrong if the people below don't report it to you."
As soon as you say this, your style is a little lost.
Yang Yong said naturally: "Since the young master of the Chen family has gone, I believe that the people below don't report to me in time, and they have some considerations. I will go back and ask a little, and I will know."
This answer surprised Yu Liang very much. The people below knew about it and did not report it. Shangguan learned the news from other channels. This is a very taboo thing in the officialdom. Either you should be conservative and strict and not let others know, or you should report it as soon as possible and do not delay.
But Yang Yong's answer was like he was not at all. What surprised Yu Liang even more was that Xu Hui and others also looked disregarded.
Suddenly, Yu Liang figured out the reason.
"Chen Zhi, it's true that he underestimated you!"
So he stopped talking and let a few people leave, and then fell into deep thought.
But after thinking about it, Yu Liang shook his head again and laughed: "I'm too concerned. Maybe it was because I was influenced by Guan Xian. Tao Ya's words. I cared too much about Chen Zhi. He was able to make use of it. But even if I have the ability, I was trapped in the place and my vision and status were not enough. For example, this time, I wanted to compare it with me, but I chose trivial matters in the county as a breakthrough point, which was simply nonsense. In contrast, if I wanted to open up the situation in the county, I directly used him as a breakthrough point. There were different realms and different practices."
Thinking of this, his heart was let go again.
"However, my actions should be faster, and I should clarify the case as soon as possible and not leave Zhang Ruo any chance."
On the other hand, Yang Yong, who had left Yu Liang's residence, returned to the yamen and asked someone to summon the prison history to ask, but the news that the man had brought surprised Yang Yong.
"Chen Zhi is here again? The Prison History and the Prison Gate Pavilion Master are following Chen Zhi?" This made Yang Yong very puzzled. "Didn't he go to the library to read the file? It doesn't involve the core volumes of the county government. It's all about the countryside. Why do Prison History and the Prison Gate Pavilion Master still have to be with him? Is it because of his reputation and family background?"
Thinking of this, Yang Yong said again: "The soap li on duty in the citation library is called over, I'll find out the situation."
"This..." The person who reported the report looked puzzled and finally said, "Apart from the county yamen and the soap clerks who guarded the files, everyone else was sent out?"
Yang Yong was even more surprised: "All of them were sent out? What's going on? Did you encounter any big news and need so many people?"
"It was said that he went to arrest people," the person who reported the news seemed to know a lot. "There are too many people involved in the case and there is not enough staff. Before you came this morning, even Liu Jing and others recorded in the county were transferred."
"Even the swordsman wants to send someone to him?" Yang Yong couldn't sit still and realized something was wrong. "How many people did they catch?"
"I heard that nearly forty people have been arrested, and the old prison is almost unable to be installed."
More than forty people?
Yang Yong was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but say, "Is it a big case? Is it a fighting in the village? Why don't I know about it?"
At this time, the people are fierce, and bandits often pass through the border. The clan is good at armed fighting, which is why buildings like docks were born. Once the two villages fight, people will often die, and there are too many people involved in the case. Over time, the government will let it go, and at most it will take a process and do superficial work, and will not arrest people at all.
"Don't Chen Zhi understand this rule?"
The person who reported the news smiled bitterly and said, "It was not an armed fight in the village, nor a case, but dozens of old cases, all of which were revealed by Chen Zhi, and the real murderer was captured one by one."
Yang Yong's eyes widened immediately.
