Chapter 1219 Honest people are reasonable
The Mangu fan sat up in confusion and thought carefully for a moment to confirm that this was not a dream.
The reason is simple, he cannot have such a dream.
"Two senior brothers, I didn't understand the rules of officialdom at the beginning and provoked County Sheriff Lu. As a result, County Sheriff Lu always disliked me, but we can't arrest him just because of this."
Meng Jingzhou gave a thumbs up, indicating to Man Gu to put his heart into his stomach: "We all do things according to the rules and regulations. It is the county governor who has the problem."
Man Gu breathed a sigh of relief, that's right, the two senior brothers are both people who abide by the rules and will not arrest people for their own selfish desires.
He remembered asking two senior brothers to come over for help. They were here to catch ghosts. They went there one night and captured their boss, so the answer was obvious.
"So it's Governor Lu who's up to something?"
As expected of these two senior brothers, they solved the problem that had been bothering me for three months on the same day.
"That's not true. We happened to encounter an illegal organization while working the night shift. We followed the clues and discovered that Sheriff Lu has been protecting this organization." Lu Yang said.
"So that's it." Man Gu nodded.
This was not the first time he had dealt with a county guard, so he had no psychological burden. The one he and his two senior brothers Lu Yang killed in Yanjiang County was the Yanjiang County Sheriff.
Furthermore, it is said that now we are just arresting a county guard, not killing a county guard, let alone a big deal.
The capture of Sheriff Lu was a big deal and could not be hidden. Moreover, Lu Yang and the two of them were walking and sitting upright, so there was no need to hide. The news of Sheriff Lu's arrest quickly spread throughout the yamen.
"What the hell, Governor Lu was caught by the newcomer?"
Everyone in the yamen who heard this news would be stunned for two seconds, and their brains would need a while to digest the information.
"Didn't they just join the job yesterday? Didn't they arrest the county guard that night?"
They have worked in the government system for so many years, let alone seeing or hearing such outrageous things.
"Master Registrar, what do you think... You are taking medicine, so I won't disturb you."
Originally, the officials wanted to ask the chief clerk for his opinion, but when they saw that the chief clerk was trembling while taking the decoction, Zhiqu left.
Can the chief clerk not tremble? In the past few years, he has been telling Man Gu not to do this or anything. He has long heard that Governor Lu dislikes Man Gu. If he hadn't taken into account that Man Gu was the number one scholar, he would have worn small shoes.
Man Gu's year-end evaluation also depends on the evaluation of the county guard, so he tried every means to maintain the relationship between Bang Man Gu and the county guard.
It's fine now, no need to maintain it.
…
"Ascend to the hall!" Mangu rolled up his sleeves in official uniform and slapped his hand on the table, louder than a gavel.
"Bring the prisoner up!"
"mighty-"
Two young detectives who had made great achievements took the officer Lu into custody.
I heard that there was another promotion, and the common people came to see the excitement. They came to see it and were convinced that the person who came this time was genuine and had captured the high official.
When Lao Wangtou and Xiao Wang Blacksmith saw the two detectives holding County Sheriff Lu last night, they were even more surprised and couldn't open their mouths for a long time.
Didn't you say we were going to arrest the Hundred Swords Alliance? Why did you even arrest the county guard?
"How dare you let them arrest me, Man Gu!" Sheriff Lu was furious. It turned out that these two young catchers were ordered by Man Gu!
"Why don't I dare to arrest you... Oh, at this time, I should say that you are corrupt, perverting the law and engaging in malpractice for personal gain. Of course I will arrest you!"
"No."
"Did you ask the Hundred Swords Alliance to use all their means to grab swords from all over the wilderness?"
"no."
"One hundred and eight swords were found from your room, with grades ranging from the God Transformation level to the Golden Core level. Are the swords yours?"
"no."
"You violated the court regulations and went to a brothel to have a boat trip after get off work. Is this true?"
"No."
Mangu turned his head and said to the chief clerk who was busy writing: "Mark it down, the evidence is conclusive but the person refuses to plead guilty, it is not a confession, and there are no mitigating circumstances."
Before ascending to the hall, Lu Yang and the other two acted swiftly and went back to collect all the evidence, including the ninety-nine members of the Hundred Sword Alliance.
There were too many people in the Hundred Swords Alliance, so before the confession could be completed, I asked the chief and deputy alliance leaders, as well as the four Xuanhei Overlords.
It's not a big problem, just go back and make up the confession and then go to court again.
"I am an official of the imperial court. No fourth-grade official has the right to deal with me!" Governor Lu became even more angry. It was a great shame and humiliation.
"Wait a moment."
Mangu left this sentence behind and read through various regulations in the hall. He first checked the criminal law to determine the crime, and then the criminal procedure law to determine the jurisdiction. Then he closed the book with satisfaction.
"Look, the law says that I can control anyone within my jurisdiction. It doesn't say that low-level officials can't arrest high-level officials."
Man Gu showed his identity badge: "Besides, I am from the Taoist Sect. We Taoist Sect disciples have the right to enforce the law."
Mangu has always regarded Lu Yang and the two as role models. Lu Yang and the two are honest people, and he is also an honest person. Honest people are reasonable.
"Okay, let's take him back."
Mangu saw that Governor Lu didn't say anything, so there was no need to interrogate him.
…
The news that Mangu had arrested his immediate boss soon reached the ears of Huangzhou's senior officials. The reaction of Huangzhou's senior officials was not much better than that of everyone in the Yamen. They were all stunned for two seconds and suspected that they had heard wrongly.
It is said that history is a reflection of reality, but in the three hundred thousand years of Yu, Daqian and Daxia, nothing like this has ever happened.
"Look on the bright side, at least future generations will have a reference when they study history." One of the senior executives still wanted to joke. He had come into contact with Barbarian Bones several times and knew that this was something Barbarian Bones could do.
"Actually, there are precedents. This has been done during rebellions at the end of every dynasty."
"Master Song, that's enough. Could it be that you want to say that Barbarian Bones is rebelling?"
"This is what you said, not me."
"That's not what you meant!"
Seeing that the topic was developing in a bad direction, Lu Zhoumu knocked on the table: "Okay, stop joking. Although there is no precedent for this matter, Mangu's move is not illegal. Judging from the evidence submitted, Lu County If Shou indeed violates the law, he shall be removed from his official position.”
"Then who should be appointed as the county magistrate, Man Gu? Since he became the county magistrate, he has managed Quyi County in an orderly manner and the economy has also developed significantly."
"Of course the economy can develop significantly. He took advantage of the period when he reached the integration stage and went down to mine himself. He almost didn't dig out an entire vein. What's the difference between this method and cheating? He can't be allowed to be the county guard."
"As long as we can develop the economy, why ask for so much? Can we not let people use it if their cultivation level is there?"
"If you don't let Barbarian Bones take over, there won't be many people in Zhongshan County who can live up to their expectations. Who can take on this important task?"
Lu Zhoumu shook his head and made a decision: "Mangu is indeed not good. Although he is the number one scholar, he is not qualified enough. Extraordinary promotion requires an order from the court. In my opinion, the magistrate of Guyuan County, Zhongshan County is a stable man, has sufficient qualifications, and can obey orders." Everyone, you can make him the county guard."
