Magistrate Ma's cold sweat dripped down, he did not dare to put his words to death, and only said that some had used torture, and some had not.
The more he thought of it, the more he felt that Liu Zhimo was not easy to fool.
In the past few years, he had seen countless cases of injustice.
It was just that before he understood Liu Zhimo, he would not act rashly.
Otherwise, if Director He caught them, both he and his family would be in danger.
If not for himself, then for his family.
Liu Zhimo gave a deep glance at Magistrate Ma before putting the Zong Volume back in its original position with a pa sound. He did not press Magistrate Ma any further as he turned around and walked out.
He was not in a hurry about this matter. Once he had established his position, he would come back to settle things one by one.
Hopefully they weren't wronged by too many people. Otherwise …
Magistrate Ma wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and followed Liu Zhimo out of the yamen.
Liu Zhimo told him not to follow him anymore and to do his own things.
Magistrate Ma responded. After watching Liu Zhimo walk into the distance, he let out a deep sigh. He was vexed and worried about how he could convey Liu Zhimo's words to him.
Now, even without him saying anything, Director He should already have received wind?
His guess was not wrong, Director He had indeed received wind, he laid on the bed, opened his mouth and bit the grape that the servant handed to him, then looked at the bailiff who rushed over to inform him with a satisfied expression.
"Oh? "So you're saying that the county magistrate has the ability to handle the smell of dried milk?" When he found out that the magistrate was a teenager, he laughed out loud three times. He didn't even care about a child.
The Ninghua County was his territory. No matter who came, they had to listen to his commands obediently.
If you don't stand on his side, then don't blame him for being ruthless.
Hearing the bailiff's words, he felt that the new magistrate had not yet smoothed out his edges, and when he had done so, he would know who he should listen to.
"In my opinion, he is just a paper tiger, bluffing, how can he compare to you, Director He!" The bailiff flattered Director He ingratiatingly. He knew that there would only be meat if he followed Director He.
Moreover, he relied on Director He to enter the yamen to become a yamen runner. Who else could he not help from Director He?
Director He couldn't help but pat the bed and laugh out loud. He also felt that the new county magistrate was bluffing, then he wanted to see whether or not he, this new official, could ignite the fire.
He planned to go to the yamen in two days' time. He wanted to thoroughly clean up the spirit of the new county magistrate so that he would know what to do and what not to do. He wanted to let him know who was the boss here.
Seeing that Director He was smiling so happily, the bailiff took the opportunity to praise Director He a little more. He praised Director He to the point that his teeth could no longer be seen and told the maid to bring two boxes of dim sum to the bailiff to keep an eye on the new county magistrate. Any news would be sent to him.
The yamen runner nodded his head again and again, saying that he would, and with a good eye, he decided not to disturb Director He anymore, and happily picked up his dessert.
Not long after the bailiff left, a servant came over to tell Director He that Magistrate Ma had come.
What was that fellow doing here?
Director He waved his hands towards the maidservants, telling them to carry the things back, he pretended to be sick and laid back down on the bed.
Feeling that he was more than done with his act, he got the servant to bring Magistrate Ma over.
"Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!" How could Magistrate Ma have the time to come and see me?
Magistrate Ma saw that Director He's face was flushed. How did he look like an sick person?
The corner of his mouth twitched, and only after Director He finished coughing did he ask him about the situation, asking him how he was doing. Are you better?
He clearly knew that Director He was pretending to be sick, but not only was he unable to expose Director He, he had to cooperate with him.
Seriously … How depressing.
Director He pretended to cough a few more times, then patted his chest and said, "I won't die."
"Director He wants to take care of his health, our Lord Liu knows that Director He is sick, and is very concerned about him. Let me pa.s.s on my message to Director He, we will meet him again after he recovers."
If not for Lord Liu allowing him to come and go, he would never have wanted to see Director He.
"Hiss …" I'll have to trouble Magistrate Ma to help me thank Lord Liu and thank him for his concern. When my health is better, I will go and pay respects to him. " Director He was a little unsure of Liu Zhimo's att.i.tude. He was giving him face, shouldn't he be angry?
Magistrate Ma nodded, said that he would help him pa.s.s the message to the Lord Liu, and told him to rest well, then got up and left.
He did not want to see Director He at all. This kind of sc.u.m, he hoped that the newly appointed Lord Liu would properly punish him, and let him know, what's called a person beyond a person, a sky beyond a sky?
Director He snorted, he got up from the bed quickly, how could he look as though he was sick to death?
He needed to talk to Fourth Uncle, so he had to be on high alert. He didn't want the new County Magistrate to catch him.
Although these four families would compare and trample on each other normally, when facing the County Magistrate, these four families had an unprecedented unity, opposing the County Magistrate together, making it impossible for the County Magistrate to do anything to them.
If it weren't for the four families joining hands, the other county magistrate wouldn't have been so dejected and would have been suppressed by these four families.
After Director He told his Fourth Uncle what happened, Fourth Uncle muttered to himself for a moment, then had the servant go and invite the managers of the other three families over. He wanted to talk to them about this matter, he had to resist the new County Official, he had to be able to stay immobile in the Ninghua County, he had to obediently listen to their orders, and do things for them.
They had followed this method for the previous few county magistrate. They would definitely be able to properly follow the instructions of the previous county magistrate.
Not long after, the leaders of the three families hurried to the He family and asked what was the matter.
If it wasn't for some urgent matter, the He family wouldn't have sent people to look for them.
Fourth Uncle He leisurely took a sip of tea and glanced at the three people, asking them what they thought of the new County Magistrate Order.
He wasn't that stupid. He wouldn't be the head bird.
If he didn't do it himself, he would give the three of them the opportunity to express their opinions.
The heads of the three families looked at each other, shook their heads and said that they didn't know much. They only knew that the county magistrate was a young man.
Being young was enough, he could easily suppress him.
Director He coldly snorted in his heart as he shook his head and told them everything he knew. After hearing it, the three of them had stupefied looks on their faces.
They all asked Director He if it was true.
Director He nodded and said it was true, the fake would not tell them anymore.
The other three pondered for a moment, then said with disdain, "What are they afraid of, a brat who stinks of milk?"
The county magistrate who came before was not afraid, and this time, even more so.
The dragon was still not suppressing the snake! They wanted to see what ability that kid had to deal with them.
Fourth Uncle He did not take Liu Zhimo to heart either, he glanced at Director He, telling him to do what he needed to do normally, and not to worry about anything else.
Director He nodded and said he knew what he had to do.
Speaking of which, why was it that the four families were not willing to walk out of the backward Ninghua County?
As the saying goes, a mountain high and an emperor far away. The emperor couldn't care less about them here. They were like local emperors here, and they were better off than people everywhere outside who were suppressed.
"Alright, it's just a new county magistrate. Don't worry about it. It's rare to be together today. Have a good drink." Fourth Uncle He clapped his hands and had his servants bring the dishes over. They then gathered together.
The other three people did not object, and completely threw Liu Zhimo behind his head, holding onto their wine cups and happily drinking.
As for Liu Zhimo, the moment he returned home, he went to find Mr. Luo and told him about the situation he saw.
Mr. Luo stroked his beard, frowned and said. Seems like the situation in Ninghua County was more serious than they had expected.
They had previously investigated the Ninghua County and found out that King He's family of four was rich in the Ninghua County. The citizens of the Ninghua County were mainly renting their land to cultivate their crops, and they also knew that the Ninghua County was under their control.
It seemed like they would have to fight with the four clans for a long time.
"Let's not talk about other things for now. First, you have to take control of the yamen. After you take control of the yamen, you can then deal with those four families." If he couldn't even control his own territory, then there was no need to talk about other places.
Liu Zhimo nodded, he knew, he was also preparing to start from the yamen.
If he were to replace all the yamen runners with his own, then his previous thoughts would be realised. He could choose two or three people from the Ox-Head Village to train them as his trusted aides.
"Before that, those four families will have to re-investigate and see how many things we missed out on." "Mr. Luo knocked on the table, frowned and said, knowing yourself and knowing your enemy, knowing what's good for you, if you don't put in the effort, how can you fight the enemy?" You don't need to worry about this matter. I will send someone to investigate. I will tell you once we're done. " With so many guards by his side, he would be letting him down if he didn't make good use of them.
"Ok, thank you, Grand Master." With the help of his teacher, he would not be so fl.u.s.tered. He could proceed according to the rules, "I plan to retake the previous case. I definitely can't let the bad guys get away unpunished."
He really didn't know how the previous county magistrate did it. Had his conscience been eaten by a dog?
Mr. Luo acknowledged him and asked Liu Zhimo to explain his plan.
Since there was a wrong case, they had to correct it, if not, there was no point in coming to Ninghua County.
After listening to Liu Zhimo's plan, Mr. Luo muttered to himself for a bit, "Then we'll press the matter back first. We'll settle the yamen and see how those four families react before making our decision."
Liu Zhimo replied. He could not rush this matter, he understood.
