No taboos

Chapter 234 It’s time to post a case (ask for monthly ticket)

The strategy of the Shanhesi Jiaozhi Office is very clear: the game at the top has just begun, but the bottom must start making trouble first!
The situation is not favorable to us, so let's muddy the waters first.

You from the Quhui Division said that Fu Shuanghui was plotting against your people?
I also said that it was your people who secretly killed our Champa Chief Lawyer during the operation!
The brothers below love the Lord of Law, so it is understandable that they are excited and take some irrational actions, right?
If the final investigation finds that it is indeed Fu Shuanghui's fault, then our Shanhe Division will definitely bring back these troublemakers and "severely punish them."

When He Youxing heard that people from the Shanhe Division had surrounded his yamen, his heart trembled.

Things have gotten out of hand!

"Come out with me and take a look."

He Youxing had no choice but to bite the bullet and bring his men out to negotiate with Zheng Hong.

On the way, he passed by Xie Qingman's duty room. She was standing behind the window, looking at him with a gloating look.

He Youxing was about to call her to go out together, but Xie Qingman slammed the window shut.

Wan Yun was also in the duty room, and the shadow of uneasiness in his heart quickly spread.

……

Shi Ba Ding sent someone to climb over the wall and report the news to Lord Xu.

Xu Yuan felt unbelievable after hearing this.

It’s not because of Shanhesi’s audacity, but because of He Youxing’s weakness.

"The Lord Attorney came out to argue with Zheng Hong, and then Zheng Hong refused to retreat and insisted that the Lord Attorney hand me over, so the Lord Attorney returned to the yamen?"

We are the Third Yamen of Guishi. What do your brothers think of you being so weak towards the outside world?
Your official position is higher than Zheng Hong's.

The power of the Quhuisi in Champa is now stronger than that of Shanhe.

Fundamentally speaking, this matter was also Fu Shuanghui's fault.

Why are you feeling guilty?
It can’t be that whoever dies is right, or whoever causes trouble is right, right?

Xu Yuan shook his head secretly. No matter what the final outcome of this matter was, it would be difficult for He Youxing to continue working in the Champa Office.

The brothers below will not be convinced by him.

Ma Tianshou would probably also feel that this person's ability is not enough to stand on his own.

In fact, the last time He Youxing let Shanhesi choose the people themselves, Xu Yuan felt that He Youxing's decision-making ability was problematic.

Such a person is suitable to be a deputy but cannot be the chief officer.

Weighing the pros and cons, looking ahead and behind, thinking too much and lacking courage.

Shi Ba Ding's men persuaded him, "Master Xu, my inspector wants you to leave the city and avoid the limelight.
Zheng Hong can't find you in the office, and I'm afraid he'll come here soon."

"Haha." Xu Yuan smiled and said, "Go back and thank Brother Shi for me."

In any case, Xu Yuan remembered Shi Ba Ding's favor.

"Xiao Ba, give this brother two taels of silver."

The other party thanked him, took the silver and left.

Xu Yuan then ordered: "Find two brothers with unfamiliar faces and go to the office to keep an eye on them."

Yu Yunhang immediately went to arrange people.

Xu Yuan waited in the South City Patrol Office until almost noon, but Zheng Hong still didn't show up with anyone. He was extremely disappointed: "What a coward!"

Zhang Laoya had been watching coldly. Lin Wanmo went out to buy groceries with a basket on her shoulder. When she passed by his door, Zhang Laoya called out to her, "Aren't you worried? Your child is in trouble."

Lin Wanmo didn't care about this matter at all: "It's not a big deal. At worst, I can just quit my job and take him back to Shanhe County."

Zhang Lao Ya stroked his beard and couldn't help laughing after a moment:
This family is interesting!
The brothers sent out by Yu Yunhang were quite clever.

At noon, one of them returned and reported to Lord Xu, "It was all bluffing. We watched carefully. Although the commotion was loud, the group only dared to make noises outside the yamen."

None of them even had swords on, and they were wearing soft armor hidden under their uniforms—they wanted to cause trouble but were afraid of death. I dare to conclude that they don't have the courage to come to us."

Xu Yuan thought about it and waved to Di Youzhi. Di Youzhi, with a servile attitude, hunched his back and stepped forward: "Sir."

"By now, a strange case has occurred in a village or town outside the city, and the report has been sent to us."

Di Youzhi immediately understood: "I'll go check and see if anyone outside has reported the crime."

Di Youzhi was gone for a short time. When he returned, he brought a man with him and reported loudly, "Your Excellency: A villager has come to Maojiadian outside the city to report a crime. A strange incident occurred in Maojiadian last night. Although no one was killed or injured, the case is very serious. If it is not dealt with in time, there may be serious casualties tonight!"

Xu Yuan stood up and said, "Okay, we will take this case to the Department of Extermination of Filth. Bring all the brothers with you and let's go back to the office and report the case to the Chief Lawyer."

"Your command!" In the South City patrol room, fifty or sixty people quickly made preparations.

Xu Yuan is not Zheng Hong. His brothers all brought swords and muskets with them.

Before leaving, Xu Yuan called Yu Yunhang: "Go to Sanniang's meeting..."

……

Half an hour later, all the people from the South City Patrol Office came to the gate of Champa Office in a mighty force.

In the open space outside the gate, the Shanhe Division actually set up a mourning hall!
On the white banners around, there were huge characters for "injustice" written on them.

Fu Shuanghui's tablet was placed in the center of the mourning hall, with an incense burner, candles, and a brazier in front of it.

The burning was filled with smoke.

Zheng Hong divided his men into three groups, with about thirty people in each group. They blocked the door of the Champa Office of the Ministry of Elimination of Impurities and kept shouting and cursing.

Another wave will come in after an hour.

As for Zheng Hong, after pushing He Youxing back in the morning, he sat comfortably in the shade of the mourning hall.

His men had already prepared a folding chair for him.

There is even tea, fruits and vegetables.

It was surrounded by white cloth, so the Extermination Bureau couldn't see what was going on inside.

Zheng Hong was sitting with his legs crossed, strolling leisurely.

Everyone in the Shanhe Division was expecting a beating.

But I didn’t expect that He Youxing didn’t dare to do anything at all!
As long as the Exorcism Bureau takes action, Zheng Hong will smash Fu Shuanghui's tablet to the ground.

Even if Shanhesi didn't make any move, he could still earn back three points.

But now, Zheng Hong has seen through He Youxing's true intentions, and he has become even more unscrupulous, blocking the entrance of the Exorcism Department with the mourning hall!

The whole of Champa is watching!
This wave of captains from the Mountain and River Division surrounded the mourning hall, pointing at the gate of the Exorcism Division and shouting curses:

"Xu Yuan colluded with the evil spirit and killed our Lord Lawyer!"

"The Lord Chief Lawyer was dedicated to the public good and sacrificed his life for the country. His remains are gone. How unjust—"

"Hand over that heartless villain Xu Yuan!"

"First, make him kowtow three times before the spirit of our Lord Chief Lawyer, and then execute him by slow slicing!"

"Hand over Xu Yuan!"

The two vermilion doors of the Champa Office of the Ministry of Extermination of Impurities were closed tightly.

Two teams of captains were guarding behind the door.

Use four wooden stakes as thick as bowls to prop up the door.

Everyone felt extremely humiliated, but the Lord of Law had given the order: endure it!

Don't create trouble without permission.

There are five teams in the office.

Except for Wan Yun's team, the other four teams are under Shi Ba Ding and Sang Yi Zi respectively.

Two teams guarded the gate, while the other two teams patrolled the yamen without stopping for a moment.

This is to prevent people from the Mountain and River Division from climbing over the wall from somewhere else to kill us.

At this time, He Youxing didn't trust Wan Yun's team, so they could take a rest.

Shi Ba Ding and Sang Yi Zi secretly advised the Lord Chief Lawyer: The Mountain and River Division is just bluffing and they would never dare to really attack us.

They didn't even bring weapons.

But He Youxing didn't believe it, saying "it's better to be prepared", and insisted that the brothers below should be on high alert.

The people from the Mountain and River Division have been yelling and cursing since morning until now, and everyone in the Extermination of Filth Division feels as disgusted as if they had eaten shit.

As they were shouting fiercely, the people from the South City Patrol Office rushed over aggressively.

An inspector from the Mountain and River Division craned his neck to take a look, and immediately recognized Xu Yuan at the front of the team. He immediately shouted, "The murderer is here!"
