Chapter 6 Father's Approval
After talking for a long time, he finally talked about the serious matter of the land dispute. Lu Xun slowly put away his eyebrows and looked a little surprised: "I heard that even the general Cao Gong knew about the dispute between Pingyuan County and Qinghe County?"
Although the relationship between the Lu family and Cao Shuang’s confidants was not good, they did not seem to want to offend Cao Shuang directly. After all, Cao Shuang, as the minister of the orphanage, is in full swing.
Qin Liang hinted: "Why did the General (Cao Shuang) notice something small in the local area?"
Lu Xun glanced at Qin Liang, with a smile on his lips, not saying anything. Lu Xun was also very young, but he could tell that he was also very sensible. He knew in his heart what he could say and what he could not say. He met Qin Liang for the first time and his friendship was not that deep.
Qin Liang thought that Huan Fan might not care about the land dispute between Zhongchang. Cao Shuang was even more concerned about it. What Cao Shuang cared about was that even if he was biased towards the dispute between the land, who dared to disobey? It was so domineering! Otherwise, how should we explain it?
Qin Liang said lightly: "Because of the death of Duke Huan's wife, his in-laws must be implicated. Now people from Zhong Chang's family may not dare to see Duke Huan easily anymore."
He paused for a moment and said step by step, "Since the dispute between the land has been reported to the court, General Lu does not need to rush to judge. However, on the ground of Jizhou, if General Lu can stop fighting, false accusations and other chaos, deter those who cause trouble and protect the people under his rule, he can also be regarded as clear-cutting right and wrong, and thunderous means are in line with the intention of the following text."
Lu Xun suddenly asked, "Your brother is really in trouble with the private salt dealer?"
Qin Liang said: "Before the brothers were filial, my brother worked in the county, studied in the Imperial College, and had good land in the family, so why bother to be related to the thief? This incident originated because of the land dispute, someone in Zhongchang's family framed him with his own private parts and wanted to further embezzle the Qin family's land population."
Lu Xun thought for a while and suddenly said, "Only this is the only way to make sense."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xun fell into thought again, "This matter involves complicated matters. I am afraid that the argument will be arbitrary and file lawsuits step by step (find a relationship), and that will not end."
Qin Liang said: "Just confirm the false accusation of the Zhong family, you can stop."
He had already thought about it the night before. The level was the most appropriate and the easiest to convince the Lu family. Because in this way, the Lu family could obtain the greatest profit with the minimum risk, not only gaining the reputation of Qin Liangsong's article, but also smearing Huan Fan's feathers. But if you continue to study it further, the Lu family will have no benefits.
Lu Xun asked, "How to control it?" Qin Liang had already been in mind and replied, "General Lu was in charge of the north and was busy with all kinds of things every day. It was inconvenient to worry about it. He only needed a hand to summon the governor of Qinghe County and the witnesses to report the matter to the state. You can handle the rest of the matter with one hand to share the worries of the general."
When Lu Xun heard "sharing the worries for the general", he immediately became interested again, and his eager expression fell on his face. Sure enough, almost every young man longed for his father's recognition.
So Lu Xun stood up and urged Qin Liang to offer suggestions. The two of them approached and discussed in a deep voice. After the decision, Lu Xun was not stingy and arranged a residence for Qin Liang and sent someone to deliver food and food every day. It can be said that it is food and accommodation.
...
Lu Zhao was the governor of the north, and was considered a prince, not to mention the governor of Jizhou. As a direct county magistrate, the county magistrate was very quick and attentive as soon as he was summoned. Within three days, Qin Liang learned from Lu Xun that the Qinghe County Governor and his group had arrived at the prefecture's capital.
Qin Liang was unable to participate in the government occasions, so he could only pass on messages from Lu Xun and his entourage behind the scenes to understand the progress of the matter.
As expected, the direct superior who grasps the future of the county magistrate is indeed deterrent. The county magistrate of Qinghe doesn't care about it, and then he will say it. The responsibility is all in the report of Zhong Chang's family (it was only then that boy was called Zhong Changke). The county magistrate only took the responsibility to arrest and interrogate him first. There is no evidence and evidence yet, so further inspection is required.
Qin Liang immediately gave Lu Xun an idea and asked Lu Xun to summon Zhong Changke, and first deceive him, and then scare him.
Although Zhong Changke was already at the top and was no more than two years younger than Lu Xun, he seemed to have never seen a big scene. After a while of fraud, Zhong Changke believed it, thinking that the county magistrate shirked responsibility for self-protection and could not wait to use him as a scapegoat.
Lu Xunming said, it is useless to ask the Grand Secretary’s Agriculture Duke Huan. Indeed, General Lu, the governor of one side, was not afraid of a Grand Secretary’s Agriculture, and the two families were dirty and had nothing to do with it.
At this time, Lu Xun took out a scroll of bamboo slips and ordered Zhong Changke to read the text on it himself: "False accusation and sit back." Then he explained without botheringly that if you falsely accused others, you will be punished.
Collude with thieves and trafficking in private salt, and according to the law, you should be killed! Lu Xunting has the talent for acting. When he said that he had action, his tone suddenly became stronger, which scared Zhong Changke to a clever mind. Lu Xun changed his style and said, "But as long as he gets forgiven by the victim, he can still be relieved at his discretion."
Qin Liang, who was standing outside the back door, saw that the time was ripe, immediately stepped out. Zhong Changke turned his head and looked pale. After a while, Zhong Changke suddenly knelt on the ground with a "thump", moved over with his knees, hugged Qin Liang's thighs and cried: "Please forgive me, Mr. Qin! I'm just blaming my young ignorance..."
After hearing this, Qin Liang was happy and said anxiously: "Lu Jun testified, and he admitted to false accusation."
Zhong Changke immediately stopped crying and stood there in a daze, and then said, "When will you admit it?"
Qin Liang said: "You didn't falsely accused, how could you say that you were ignorant? What can I forgive you? Why are you crying?"
Last time, Zhong Changke's cleverness and skill in Tiannoma suddenly disappeared. He couldn't speak at once. It was useless to just curse people in the current situation. However, Zhong Changke was not stupid either. Knowing that the matter was serious, he just shook his head and denied it.
Qin Liang knew in his heart that if he wanted to convict Zhong Changke of the death penalty, the Zhong Chang family would definitely find ways to find Huan Fan when the matter was serious, and maybe Cao Shuang would also have to speak. Once that was reached, it would be difficult to end, because Lu Xun said that he didn't want to conflict head-on with Cao Shuang or even Huan Fan.
So Qin Liang said, "Although our two families belong to two counties, they are not far apart, why should we make enemies? As long as you sign and admit the false accusation, I will plead for you in front of the county magistrate and give you a lenient resignation. This matter is just fine. After all, enemies should be resolved rather than formed. How about it?"
"Be gentle?" Zhong Changke took a breath from the extreme fear, as if he had seen hope.
Qin Liang nodded and confirmed.
Zhong Changke frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Unless General Lu is the guarantee."
Qin Liang guessed that Lu Xun wanted his father to look at him with admiration, so he said, "The governor of Qinghe County and Lu Jun are the protection."
Zhong Changke said again: "The writing method and words cannot be vague. I am also confused by others. I am unintentionally wronged. I accidentally accused Qin Sheng."
Qin Liang nodded happily: "I'll follow you."
Zhong Changke finally breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "A gentleman's word..."
No matter how Qin Liang looked at this person, he didn't look like a gentleman, but he still slapped his hand and said, "It's hard to chase after all!"
Zhong Changke quickly kowtowed and thanked him, and his forehead hit the ground with a sound of "dongdong".
Qin Liang remembered what happened last time. When this person was wearing a sword around his neck, he admitted his fear and started scolding as soon as he escaped. So he was very suspicious of Zhong Changke's gratitude and sincerity. But at least on the surface, he admitted that he had fallen, and it was enough to solve the problem.
