The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Just as Mr. Shen was thinking deeply about life, news suddenly came that the prefect had issued a ticket and summoned Lin Tailai to appear in court for questioning tomorrow.

Then Mr. Shen suddenly became energetic and finally had his own use again!

Just like last time, when Lin Tailai was falsely accused of "forcing his wife to rape to death," it was Shen Yongjia who went to the Procuratorate in person to provide the background for Lin Tailai to overturn the case!

This time Lin Tailai was summoned by the Yamen for interrogation again, so the opportunity for him to come forward had arrived again!

How could he be a dispensable existence when he was a prime minister and the leader of the Renewal Society?

At the critical moment, you still have to rely on yourself to stand up.

The next day, Mr. Shen left for the government office early. Then he stood outside the gate of the government office, waiting eagerly for Lin Tailai.

Last time, Lin Tailai used all kinds of coercion and inducement to ask him to come forward to help reverse the case, and spent a lot of effort.

And this time he takes the initiative to be present, which will surely move Lin Tailai to the point of admiration.

When faced with Lin Tailai's gratitude, how could he pretend to be indifferent?

Not long after waiting, Mr. Shen saw a familiar figure.

But this person was not Lin Tailai, but Lin Tailai's subordinate, Gao Changjiang, who regarded himself as a military advisor.

"How come the Second Master is here?" Gao Changjiang also saw Shen Yongjia and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and ask.

Second Master Shen said doubtfully: "I heard that Lin was summoned by the government office. Why are you the only one here?"

Gao Changjiang said proudly: "My family now has a different status than before. I am now a dignitary. I don't need to come to the court in person, just send someone to take my place."

Second Master Shen: "."

Damn it! Lin Tai didn't even come in person, so why did he come here? As a conspicuous bag?

According to today's customs, people who have the reputation of being a civil servant are not qualified to be tried in court.

If something really happens, just send someone to the government to answer the question on your behalf.

This is a kind of political privilege, in order to preserve the dignity of the scholar-bureaucrats, but it is generally for liberal arts candidates.

It seems reasonable for someone like Lin Daguanren to forcefully invoke this kind of regulations for a martial arts examiner like Wu Jieyuan.

Second Master Shen snorted coldly, turned around and left. Lin Tailai didn't even come, so why would he join in the fun?

But at this time Gao Changjiang suddenly spoke and said very politely: "If Mr. Shen is not willing to face the county guard, then please do it yourself. I will go to the Yamen first."

Second Master Shen immediately turned around again, "I'll go with you!"

I acted a little timid the past few days, but that was because I was looking out for the overall situation, not because I was afraid!

Even if I risk the dignity of Master Zaifu, I can't let others think that I am really afraid of Governor Zhu!

Gao Changjiang was secretly happy, knowing that Second Master Shen would go with him, which would make him feel more at ease.

After all, he was just a low-level storyteller more than half a year ago, and he was still quite uneasy about going to court alone to face a fourth-grade prefect.

Unexpectedly, I met Mr. Shen outside the gate of the government office. With just a little trick, I was able to attract Mr. Shen's help.

For a moment, Gao Changjiang suddenly experienced the joy of sitting in a gym. It was so fun to control the tool man.

After going to court smoothly, Magistrate Zhu looked up and did not see Lin Tailai.

Gao Changjiang stepped forward and reported: "Lin Juren entrusted a villain to go to court and answer the question on his behalf."

Magistrate Zhu was stunned for a moment before he realized who Lin Juren was. He slapped the case and shouted at Shen Yongjia, "What are you doing here!"

Second Master Shen also replied: "When I try cases in court, I never allow others to watch to show fairness. As an enthusiastic scholar, I am here today to observe."

Then he turned to Gao Changjiang and said, "I hope Lin Tai will be a good and law-abiding person. If he commits adultery and violates the law, I won't tolerate him!

However, if someone wants to accuse him unjustly, it is not that easy! "

Magistrate Zhu: "."

Can you, this dude named Shen, have some new ideas?

It's obviously what you said when the Procuratorate interrogated Lin Tailai last time. Are you repeating it today?

Or is it because Lin Tailai was not present in person today, so no one taught you how to speak?

A good-for-nothing dude is a good-for-nothing dude. He deserves to have Zhang Siwei replace your father as the first assistant!

Magistrate Zhu was too lazy to talk to Shen Yongjia anymore. His main purpose today was to use interrogation as a means to spy on Lin Tailai's intentions, so he directly asked Gao Changjiang.

After all, Gao Changjiang was a storyteller by trade, and he had a strong memory for long passages of text, and he immediately recited the lines with an expressionless face.

“Wang Jiayi Old Garden is located at the root of the city wall and covers a vast area. It poses a serious threat to city defense and is indeed illegal.

Therefore, Lin Juren came to the house with good intentions and advised the Wang family to return to their lost ways and demolish the illegal gardens.

Unexpectedly, the Wang family not only refused to listen to the advice, but also dared to send out their slaves to threaten Lin Juren, which led to a group fight.

As for the beatings of officials in Wujiang County, they deserved it.

At that time, Lin Juren's brother was conducting surveys within the jurisdiction of Changzhou County. He was obstructed by officials from Wujiang County, which was really unreasonable.

After some persuasion, the other generation not only refused to leave, but intensified their obstruction.

In desperation, he had no choice but to drive them away to ensure the peace of Changzhou County. "

Magistrate Zhu said angrily: "If everything is handled by hands, then why should the government do anything?"

With Mr. Zaifu supporting him, Gao Changjiang had the courage to respond: "Originally, Lin Juren did not need an official position, but they had to leave the official position."

Just as Magistrate Zhu was considering whether to drag Gao Changjiang down to beat him, someone suddenly beat a drum and complained.

The person who came was not an ordinary person, but a steward from the Lu family in Dongshan named Lu Qiyao.

There are several giant families in the Dongting Merchant Gang, such as the Xi family that was almost destroyed, the Wang family that had Wang Hao, and the Lu family.

The ancestors of the Wang family once married into the Lu family, and it was not until Wang Hao's grandfather escaped.

When the Xi family formed a coalition to attack Lin Tailai's territory, the Lu family also sent troops, but the leader, Lu Qiguang, ran away and is still on the run.

Lu Qiyao, who came to complain this time, was Lu Qiguang's cousin.

When they arrived at the court, Lu Qiyao said angrily: "With tears in his eyes, he sued the bully Lin Tailai for robbery!

Yesterday, Lin Tailai led his minions to rob four stores in our Lu family. After forcibly occupying them, they drove out all the shopkeepers!

Lin Tailai also shouted that if you have the guts, go to the government office and file a complaint! "

Most people in the hall subconsciously thought, is Lin Tailai crazy again?

Gao Changjiang shouted: "Lu Qiguang of the Lu family was the criminal who set fire to Hengtang Town!

Now half of Hengtang Town is in urgent need of reconstruction, and the county government is unwilling to support it, so the only way to get compensation is from the Lu family!

These four shops and businesses can serve as compensation for Hengtang Town! "

Magistrate Zhu scolded: "This is unreasonable! Lin Tailai dares to impose his own punishment, does he still have the king's law in his eyes?"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of drumming coming from the direction of the gate. It seemed that someone was complaining again.

This time it was an old acquaintance who came. I saw Xu Yuanjing, the manager of the Suzhou City School Book Office, staggering into the courtroom in a state of embarrassment.

"Lin Tailai, the unscrupulous man who killed a thousand swords, led his people to occupy the school book office and wanted to take over all the business by force." Manager Xu complained.

Then he added: "He also said that if you have the guts, go to the government office and complain!"

Magistrate Zhu: "."

Lin Tailai was not only crazy, but also murderous!

If you want to make people perish, you must first make them crazy. Could this be Lin Tailai's last madness before his death?

This time, there was no need to wait for Magistrate Zhu to ask. Gao Changjiang took the initiative to explain: "The Xu family has a son-in-law, Fan Yunlin, who was also deeply involved in the Xi family's rebellion.

But in the end Fan Yunlin escaped the serious crime and was only lightly punished.

Lin Juren said that he could escape any criminal liability, but he must continue to pursue civil liability.

From a villain's guess, this is probably what the so-called pursuit of civil liability means. "

Magistrate Zhu sneered a few times, then looked at Second Master Shen and asked, "What do you think of this matter?"

Everyone knows that the relationship between the Xu family and the Shen family in Huqiu is almost as close as relatives.

Now that Lin Tailai has taken over the school secretary's office run by the Xu family, let's see how you, Mr. Shen, want to do justice!

When Mr. Shen heard the news, he was also very confused. Could it be that Lin Tailai had really gone crazy?

Doesn't he know the relationship between the Xu family and the Shen family? This is not giving any face at all.

Manager Xu looked at Second Master Shen eagerly, but Second Master Shen was at a loss.

In the courtroom, there was suddenly a brief moment of silence.

Finally, Magistrate Zhu broke the silence and shouted to the clerk on duty:

"Ask Governor Wang to go to the Suzhou Guard and ask the army to help capture Lin Tai and come to the government office! It will be done today!"

Although candidates have political privileges and generally do not have to go to court for hearings, this does not mean they have unlimited privileges!

If an extraordinary situation occurs, extraordinary measures can naturally be used.

For example, in a situation like Lin Tailai's, could it be that the government can't take care of a Juren who keeps committing crimes crazily in the city and causing trouble everywhere?

It was still early today, and Suzhou Wei received a request for assistance from the government office, so the task fell to Mr. Nian Ba.

After all, Mr. Nian had the most experience in arresting Lin Tailai, although Mr. Nian did not want to take on this task.

Lin Juren is easy to find. Anyone with a little knowledge knows that Lin Juren has been staying at Sun Lianlian's house recently.

General Nian brought a hundred armed sergeants with him to show off his appearance, then came to the north of the city and knocked on the door of Sun Meiren's house.

Lin Juren appeared in the front hall yawning and looked at Boss Nian in surprise, "Why is it you again?"

Nian Baizong replied honestly: "I have to come because I have been ordered to do so."

Lin Tailai sighed: "I didn't expect that Zhang Siwei's minions in Suzhou City would be so numerous that they even infiltrated the guardhouse!"

Mr. Nian: "."

Can you, Mr. Lin, speak objectively? Is he, a small boss, worthy of being "Zhang Siwei's minion"?

Anyway, Mr. Nian did not dare to accept Lin Tailai's words, so he said in a business-like manner: "I have been ordered to arrest you, so why don't you just pretend to be like last time?"

Lin Tailai said concisely and concisely: "Get out!"

Mr. Nian is speechless. Mr. Lin, you have changed and become even more charming.

Last time, he was willing to cooperate and pretend to be arrested, but this time he was not even willing to pretend.

Nian Baizong said in a very embarrassed tone: "Senior official, your attitude makes it impossible for me to do my job. I may be subject to military law when I go back."

Lin Tailai added: "I am doing this for your own good, and you, a little military attache, can't control it at all!

If you take me, you will be careful about having your whole family exiled in the future. It is better to go back and face military law. "

Mr. Nian couldn't help but advise: "It's not good for you, a senior official. As the saying goes, things will turn to the extreme, and it will be too late. You must leave room for life."

If even the government and the army cannot capture you, then everyone will know that you are so arrogant and lawless.

A person who is completely unrestricted will be feared, hated and disgusted by everyone! "

Lin Tailai was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "It makes sense! Since you want to sacrifice yourself so much to fulfill me, then let's go with you. Just don't regret it in the future."

Mr. Nian is still complacent, now he doesn't have to go back and face military punishment. What does it mean to be good at dancing with long sleeves? This is good at dancing with long sleeves!

How many people in Suzhou city can convince Lin Tailai to surrender? I did it myself!

So Lin Tailai, surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers, swaggered to the government office. It was already afternoon.

Seeing Shen Yongjia in the court, Lin Tailai said in surprise: "Second Master, what did you do? Why didn't you tell me? I can help you settle it!"

Second Master Shen: "."

I shouldn’t have come today!

When Magistrate Zhu reopened the court, Lin Tailai said to Gao Changjiang: "It must be because you didn't explain the matter clearly that I came to court again!"

Gao Changjiang said quickly: "The prefect is determined to deal with you. It's useless for me to explain the matter clearly."

Magistrate Zhu took a slap in the face and said, "The process of the four cases has been clearly understood, and I will pronounce the verdict directly now!"

"Slow down!" Lin Tailai shouted: "Please give me a few more days, the prefect."

Everyone is confused, why should I give you a few extra days? Is it possible that you still want to repent?

Then I heard Lin Tailai continue to say: "It's better to let me handle a few more cases, and then the government will pronounce the verdict together!"

It's so arrogant! All the officials inside and outside the court have never seen such an arrogant defendant or heard such arrogant words!

Also, Lin Tailai is so crazy and commits crimes everywhere in a hurry. Why does it feel like he is just trying to seize the time?

Second Master Shen had mixed feelings in his heart. As the prime minister, if he couldn't even match Lin Tailai's arrogance, what dignity would he have?

Magistrate Zhu said angrily: "No need to talk nonsense! Listen to the verdict!"

At this time, an official rushed out of the office of the government office, holding in his hand the newspaper copied from Nanjing to each government office.

He stood on the corridor and shouted loudly: "Zhang Siwei died of illness! Zhang Siwei died of illness!"

The officials who were passing by nearby were all shocked when they heard the news.

Because of the previous division of camps, Zhang Siwei has been an unavoidable topic in Suzhou official circles recently.

Everyone is discussing how Suzhou's officialdom will evolve after Zhang Siwei is reinstated.

But no one expected that Zhang Siwei would appear in the Di newspaper as having died of illness before he became the chief assistant again!

Mr. Nian Bao, who was standing in the courtyard, also heard the news, and his heart was like ten thousand grass and mud horses whizzing by!

If Zhang Siwei is alive and well and successfully reinstated as the first assistant, then the idea of ​​"Zhang Siwei's gang of minions" is a joke.

But if Zhang Siwei dies, then "Zhang Siwei's gang of minions" will become real!

The person who arrested Lin Tailai can definitely be characterized as Zhang Siwei's minion!

Sure enough, Lin Tailai told him to "go away" earlier, it was really for his own good, but it was a pity that he was too smart!
