On the fifth day.
This was the first time that Chen Qun had ascended the position of Xu Chang's magistrate.
However, a shocking case weighed down on his heart, making him unable to feel happy.
On the same day.
Countless soldiers inspected Xuchang City.
Unfortunately, they couldn't find anyone to fetch water for Xiao Manor.
It was only in the evening that the general, Man Chong, and the Embroidered Uniform Guards escorted 20 to 30 people and openly appeared at the county magistrate's manor.
"Bonin!"
Chen Qun shook his head and smiled bitterly." Now, I should call you Commander. After all, the Embroidered Uniform Guards are a secret organization that directly reports to the Duke of Cao. Your position as Commander is very high!"”
Man Chong shook his head and smiled faintly." I heard that you're looking for someone. I'll give you two hours to record your evidence!"”
"Hmm?"
Chen Qun's pupils turned cold.
"Pa da!"
Man Chong sat at the side and sipped his tea."The stir-fried tea that Xinzhi made is much better than boiled tea!”
"Phew!"
Chen Qun heaved a sigh of relief.
He turned to look at Du Xi and said,"Zixu, Yuanchang, please help me record the evidence!”
"No worries!"
Du Xi shook his head.
Zhong Yao took out the silk book and said,"Please go to the back hall!"”
"Yes, sir!"
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone was terrified.
After being arrested by the Embroidered Uniform Guards for several days, their lives could be said to be dark.
Today, he had come to the county magistrate's office to re-record his crimes, proving that this matter was about to end. Naturally, he was uneasy!
"Bonin!"
Chen Qun said in a deep voice," How many people are involved in this matter? Tell me the truth so that I can have some courage. Otherwise, I'm really afraid of being frightened. After all, this is the capital, the foot of the emperor!”
"Changwen, I'm just following orders!" Man Chong said helplessly.”
"Understood!"
Chen Qun sighed.
In less than two hours.
Du Xi led everyone out of the back hall with a livid face.
Seeing this, Man Chong got up and said,"I'm done recording. Then I should go back to the Jinyiwei House. You take care of yourself!"”
"Yes!"
Chen Qun watched Man Chong leave the mansion.
He was once a small official, but now he had immense power and authority, and he was above countless people.
This feeling made him feel a little depressed, so much so that he couldn't breathe.
"Changwen!"
Du Xi placed the silk book on the table and said bitterly,""This matter is too big. I suggest that you temporarily resign from your position as the Xuchang magistrate and wait for Cao Gong to return before discussing it. Otherwise, the Chen family of Yingchuan will probably be caught in the cracks and will be unable to extricate themselves!”
"Swoosh!"
The silk book of the crime was torn apart.
Everything was recorded on it.
From the beginning of how Yang Xiu bribed the water men with Cao Pi's name to the end of his arrest by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, there were hundreds of words in total.
"Second Young Master!"
Chen Qun felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
He had thought that there would be officials involved, but he did not expect Cao Pi to be involved!
Now, they were officials of the Han Dynasty in name, but they were loyal to the Sikong Manor. Could they really arrest the second son of the Cao Manor?
"Retreat!"
Zhong Yao remonstrated.
"Retreat?"
"Retreat where?"
Chen Qun suddenly stood up and said," Yuanchang, Zixu, leave the County Governor's Office immediately. Don't drag the two of you into this. I'm going to bring people to the Sikong Office to arrest the culprit, Cao Zihuan. Internal affairs reform, Legalism Humble Class, let me, Chen Changwen, make my first strike!"”
"Take care!"
The two bowed slightly.
They were innocent, and it was a great sin to be involved.
Even if they were good friends, they could not risk their lives to help Chen Qun. Moreover, they did not have the right to interfere in the affairs of Yanzhou's official field.
"Beat the drum!"
"Gather the troops!"
Chen Qun berated with a determined gaze.
"Here!"
The soldiers of the prefecture responded.
The deafening drumbeats broke through Xuchang City, which had been silent for days.
He ordered the soldiers of the 3rd Battalion to stop and looked at the source of the drum sound with confusion in their eyes.
It was almost noon.
When the sun was shining high in the sky.
Chen Qun donned the official uniform of the Xuchang magistrate and appeared in front of the Sikong Manor with twenty soldiers, holding a large seal.
"Halt!"
The leader of the attendants said with a gloomy expression," Eldest Young Master's order, Sikong Manor is closed to all guests. We will not receive anyone for the next few days. Please leave. Don't barge into the manor. It will be difficult for us attendants!"”
"Swoosh!"
Chen Qun unfolded the silk book and said in a deep voice,""A few days ago, the residence of the Marquis of Beishou was poisoned by thieves, causing the grain seeds that produced dozens of stones per mu to be destroyed. According to the thieves, the culprit was Cao Ziheng.”
"How dare you!"
The commander shouted angrily.
Cao Pi was the Second Young Master of Sikong Manor. How could he be arrested and questioned?
"Move aside!"
Cao Ang led the people of the Cao Residence into the gate. His eyes were filled with disappointment as he said,"Magistrate Xu Chang, Brother Pi's crime cannot be determined by a single sentence from others. Please investigate clearly and return his innocence!”
"Don't worry!"
Chen Qun nodded.
Cao Pi sat on the threshold and said in horror,""Brother, this has nothing to do with me. It was Yang Dezu and the others who did it!”
"Brother Pi!"
Cao Ang's gaze was complicated." If you are innocent, even if you enter the Xuchang County Magistrate's Mansion, the Xuchang Magistrate will still prove your innocence. If you really did it, not to mention the Xuchang Magistrate, even Father will not let you off!"”
"Arrest him!"
Chen Qun waved his sleeves.
Immediately, two aristocrats stepped onto the threshold and surrounded Cao Pi.
"Cao Zhang!"
"Cao Ziwen!"
Cao Pi was horrified.”
"Ang!"
Cao Zhang shouted.
She swung her two short legs and headed straight for the East City Camp.
