The governor spent five days visiting Yongzhou City and several counties surrounding Yongzhou City, but the situation was obviously much worse than that of Yong'an County.
Not only were the cases never completed, but even during the trial of some cases, the master, county lieutenant and county magistrate had to open the new law to look for crimes.
The efficiency is far less than that of Yong'an County, but fortunately, because the legal provisions are clear and clear, the fairness is greatly improved than before.
In response to this, some county magistrates shamelessly made excuses, saying they were working slowly and carefully...
At that time, the governor really wanted to hit these county magistrates and county lieutenants on the head with a ruler!
What a waste of slow work! They are so embarrassed to come up with such an excuse!
The new law not only contains crimes, but also lists almost all the criminal acts that have been seen so far, as well as the corresponding sentencing. If there are still flaws in this, the county lieutenants and magistrates should simply stop doing it!
At present, the only way that the governor can think of to make mistakes in the case is for someone below to bribe the judge with money!
In fact, the governor also knew not to compare them with Yong'an County. After all, the uncle of the magistrate's family in Yong'an County was the one who created this law, and it was so detailed and rigorous that no one in the court raised objections.
This capable uncle stood next to the magistrate of Yong'an when he was hearing the case. He could just tell the magistrate of Yong'an what kind of punishment the person below should be punished for.
Lao Su really got a good son-in-law, and this good son-in-law has been appreciated by the prince and will soon be the county son...
But, then again, it’s not possible to compare!
Now the prince is in Yongzhou! What if one day I go out for a walk and see several county yamen nearby and people coming to complain about their grievances are blocking the door, but the efficiency of the county magistrate's judgment is so low.
…
I can’t imagine the consequences!
No! The governor decided that he must find a way for them to improve the efficiency of judging cases!
Su Mansion
Xu Qing and Su Qian brought the freshly prepared meals to the dining table. The cooperation between the two of them has become more and more tacit in the past few days. When Xu Qing washed the vegetables, Su Qian would help cut them, while Xu Qing
When she started cooking, Su Qian would read her storybook quietly.
After finishing reading the storybook and Xu Qing's meal was ready, Su Qian helped bring the steaming meals to the dining table.
Because the weather is getting colder, the stone table in the courtyard that is often used for eating has not been used for a long time.
Today's temperature is more suitable for eating with the stove in the house.
Moreover, it is getting dark earlier and earlier. In summer and autumn, you can finish your meal in the yard, but now it is half-step into winter. It is already dark outside when you have dinner, and there is no way to go outside.
eat.
When Magistrate Su came home at night, he smelled the aroma of steaming food. When Magistrate Su came in, his son-in-law and daughter were waiting at the table, waiting for him to eat.
Magistrate Su County couldn't help but feel deeply moved when he saw this scene.
Once upon a time, when Xu Qing was not here, it was a luxury for them to have a meal and say a word between their father and daughter. Now that Xu Qing is here, it makes this cold house feel more and more like home, and the way the daughter looks at her becomes...
The eyes look more and more like a daughter looking at her father instead of the coldness in the past. Moreover, after ten years apart, their father and daughter can finally talk to each other like a normal father and daughter.
How could he not be moved by this?
During the dinner, Magistrate Su took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xu Qing. Su Qian also looked at it curiously. Is this a letter to Xu Qing? Who wrote it?
She has never seen anyone write a letter to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing took it and asked doubtfully: "It's for me? Who wrote it?"
Su County Magistrate said: "What the Governor wrote to you is probably related to the banquet at Guiyun Tower tomorrow, because I also received it, but I never thought that the Governor would invite you."
Yes, what are you asking him to do? Last time, Xu Qing mercilessly rejected someone's offer to recommend him as an official. Magistrate Su could see that the rejected governor was already a little unhappy, but
He didn't say it clearly, but he actually invited such a young boy who was so angry with him to this banquet?
Magistrate Su couldn't figure it out! After all, who would invite someone to a banquet who made him unhappy?
At this time, he began to wonder if the governor had any unknown hobbies?
After Xu Qing opened it, he saw the words on the letter. Xu Qing glanced at it twice and nodded: "It is indeed like what my father-in-law said, I am going to Guiyun Tower, but...that's the content of the letter.
To be honest, the governor wants me to teach several surrounding county magistrates a lesson."
Magistrate Su, who had just picked up the tea cup and took a sip, spit out a mouthful of tea. He looked at Xu Qing with some suspicion: "Just you? Give a lesson to the magistrates of several surrounding counties, including me? What lesson?"
Xu Qing looked at Magistrate Su and smiled: "Law class."
Indeed, the letter Xu Qing received was written to him by the Governor of Qi, hoping that Xu Qing would explain the law to the county magistrates present at Guiyun Tower. The language was also extremely humble, so humble that Xu Qing even
I can't find the words to say no.
…
next day
Officials in the Great Chu state took a break from bathing every ten days, and today was the day to take a break from bathing.
However, on today, a day that should have been a day of rest and bathing, several county magistrates were pulled out of their early winter quilts one by one by the governor to attend the banquet...
Even my father-in-law, who has always been good-tempered, wanted to scold me for being a sellout...
…
When Magistrate Su took Xu Qing to Guiyun Tower, he said, "Don't embarrass your father today, you know?"
Xu Qing nodded and smiled: "What are you talking about? Am I not here to make my father-in-law look good?"
Magistrate Su thought that it was very necessary for Xu Qing to attend this banquet. After all, he had offended the governor last time. If he could behave well today and comply with the governor's wishes, the gap between the two would be eliminated.
When Su County Magistrate arrived, the governor was already waiting here. When he saw the person coming, the governor stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Su is here? Please take a seat quickly."
However, County Magistrate Su grabbed Xu Qing, then held his hands and said: "Some time ago, my son-in-law somehow let down the good intentions of the governor, and I brought him here today to make amends."
With that said, Magistrate Su pulled Xu Qing and said, "Why don't you apologize to the governor quickly?"
Before Xu Qing could make any move, the governor quickly said: "No, no, no, Mr. Xu has great ambitions, so why should I apologize? Please sit down, please."
Magistrate Su was also puzzled as to why the normally stern governor would have such an attitude. Could it be that he was asking Xu Qing to explain the law today?
