Chapter 760 The Governor¡¯s Determination

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    That morning, long queues formed at the government offices of Wu County and Changzhou County, where order had been restored.

    Citizens took advantage of the fire and took advantage of the fire to surrender various items such as copperware, silk cloth, incense powder, ham, toilets, books, whips, candles, etc., and came to surrender and return the stolen goods.

    On the right side of the eight-character wall of the county government office, a row of tables was set up.

    The clerks and clerks, who are hiding somewhere these days, are registering the returned stolen goods one by one.

    After registration is completed, the county will issue a receipt to the citizen who surrenders.  Citizens put their fingerprints on it to ensure that all stolen goods have been returned.  This can be used as an immunity charm to ensure that they will not be held accountable for taking advantage of the situation.

    Then they can go home.

    On the left side of the eight-character wall, there are two to three hundred criminals who were arrested last night and this morning.

    "These people were all stripped naked, their heads shaved, and they were put on wooden shackles weighing dozens or hundreds of kilograms. They were crying together.

    They are not crying because of being exposed, or even because the shackles are too heavy, but because they cannot accept the reality of losing their hair.

    The hair and skin on your body are affected by your parents. If you don¡¯t have hair, do you still count as a human being?

    ??????? From now on, I¡¯m going to see people like this with my bare hands

    Since no one except the monks had shaved their heads, these idiots didn¡¯t realize that their hair would grow back.

    The eight-character wall has one left and one right, and the contrast between severity and severity is very obvious, which greatly shocked the citizens.

    Now those who were greedy for money and did not want to return the stolen goods were also frightened. They quickly took the stolen things and ran to the county government office to line up.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The stolen goods piled up the entire county government office

    ??~~

    Although no one from Magistrate Cai returned the stolen goods, the gains were considerable.

    At noon that day, more than a dozen citizens who participated in the arson came forward to surrender in fear.

    Cai Guoxi was interrogating these damn arsonists in the burned-out lobby.

    "Looking at the dark ruins and the old man's face that was darker than the wall, the arsonists were so frightened that their livers trembled. How could they dare to hide anything?

    Without being punished, they poured beans into bamboo tubes and explained everything.

    These people are indeed incited accomplices, and the real leader is the Xu family slave who came out of the Humble Administrator's Garden!

    Although Xu Xu and the others have been deliberately hiding their identities, they are all from Suzhou and usually don¡¯t look up or down.  After a few days of jumping up and down, someone would recognize them, and soon it would become a well-known secret

    Seeing that everyone was unanimously pointing to the Xu family, Magistrate Cai was so angry that veins on his forehead stood out.

    Old and new hatreds welled up in his heart, he must take revenge!

    Cai Guoxi asked Chen Tongzhi to take charge of the aftermath, and he hurried to the governor's office.

    ??~~

    The governor's office signed and kept him in the room.

    Lin Zhongcheng had just returned from an inspection tour of the city and was considering how to write a memorial to report the civil unrest, when Cai Guoxi came to see him.

    Tian Baiguang brought in the fuming Magistrate Cai, and Lin Run asked him to sit down and talk.

    "Why are you so angry?" Lin Run asked with a slight frown.

    He knew that Cai Guoxi was a famous official in Neo-Confucianism, who paid attention to nourishing Qi and not being angry.  I would never get so angry.

    "Reporting to Zhongcheng, I have found out that the Xu family was behind the arson attack on the government office! This is the confession of the accomplices."

    Cai Guoxi stood up as he spoke and presented a confession filled with fingerprints to Lin Run with both hands.

    "Which Xu family?" Lin Run took it calmly and asked knowingly.

    "Where else can there be? The hometown of Xuge in Songjiang!" Cai Guoxi said with a face full of resentment: "Only his family has such courage!"

    Lin Run nodded but did not answer.  After carefully reading the confession, he stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, looked out the window and fell into silence.

    Lin Run was not surprised at all by this result.  He had already guessed that the Xu family was behind the chaos in Suzhou.

    The confession presented by Cai Guoxi only supports his speculation.

    Before, he was worried whether the Gu family and the Lu family would also get involved.  But looking at the performance of the two families during the quelling the chaos, it was obvious that they had clearly drawn a clear line with the Xu family.

    If there is only the Xu family, things will be easier to handle.

    ??~~

    In Lin Run¡¯s view, the Xu family¡¯s move was due to two reasons.

    The first is to divert the tiger away from the mountain, forcing him to leave Songjiang and return to Suzhou.

    Secondly, he came to shock the tiger and warned him that if he continued to insist on clearing the land in Songjiang,The chaos at that time was probably not just in Suzhou.

    Once Jiangnan is in chaos, he may not even be able to serve as a firefighting captain, and he will have to be transferred sadly after rounds of impeachment.

    This is by no means alarmist.

    Lin Run knew very well that he, the governor of Yingtian, did not have an advantage in front of a retired pavilion elder whose disciples and former officials were all over the world.

    Even because he was promoted by Mr. Xu Ge, he was at a moral disadvantage.

    If you continue to fight, you will probably lose.

    At this time, should you accept the warning and take a step back to open up the world, or should you fight to the end and fight the Xu family completely?

    Even Lin Run felt heavy pressure, which kept him silent for a long time.

    Cai Guoxi stood aside calmly.

    He could understand Lin Run's inner struggle. He thought that Zhong Cheng was only thirty-eight years old and had a bright future. Should he fight with the Xu family to the end and risk his career and reputation?

    On the contrary, if Zhong Cheng can take a step back, I believe the Xu family will reciprocate and give Zhong Cheng a step down.

    Just when Cai Guoxi was feeling sad and felt that there was no hope of avenging him, he saw the governor turning around.

    The afternoon sun shines through the window, illuminating Lin Run's face with clear lines like a sculpture, making his eyes more determined and unyielding.

    He looked at Cai Guoxi steadily and said word by word: "I don't care who he is or what his background is. As long as he violates the king's law, he must be severely punished!"

    "Yes, I understand!" Cai Guoxi's blood immediately surged. He naturally understood what Zhong Cheng meant by fighting the Xu family to the end!

    Then I heard Lin Run order: "Seal down the Humble Administrator's Garden immediately, arrest all the arson suspects, interrogate them strictly and report them later!"

    "Yes!" Cai Guoxi puffed up his chest, responded loudly, and then said with an moved face: "Don't worry, Zhongcheng, my subordinates will have a sense of what to do and what not to do."

    "You don't have to be afraid of causing trouble for me." Lin Run didn't accept his favor, and waved his hand and said:

    "Where is the magistrate's office? It represents the imperial court's rule over a prefecture! The Xu family actually dared to burn it down, how arrogant they are!"

    "If you don't punish past mistakes to avoid future ones, and use them as a warning to others, will Suzhou's surname be Zhu or Xu in the future?!" As he said this, he punched the table with a heavy fist and ordered sternly:

    "Give me a big fanfare. The bigger the fanfare, the better! Let the people of Suzhou see who is behind this."

    "Zhongcheng is brilliant!" Cai Guoxi heard the song and understood that it was the prelude to the decisive battle with the Xu family. He fisted Lin Run with both hands and said: "Your Majesty knows what to do, let's do it now!"

    "Go." Lin Run nodded, watching Cai Guoxi leave quickly, then sat back down behind the case and started writing a memorial.
