Chang'an Dali Temple has always been a relatively quiet place.
Of course, it is necessary to be purified here, just like the later courts were as lively as the vegetable market, it may not be a good thing.
Twenty or thirty refugees dressed in refugees suddenly gathered outside the yamen of Dali Temple, knelt down and shouted for justice.
This strange scene naturally attracted everyone's attention.
The refugees were ragged and dusty, kneeling in front of the Dali Temple yamen, while the people in the city were watching the fun, inside and outside. After all, this was a rare scene.
Seeing this situation, Sima Yi, as the head of Dali Temple, could not neglect it. He came out from the inside and came to the refugee and shouted loudly: "What's wrong with grievances? Let's talk about it quickly!"
When the refugees saw Sima Yi appear, they looked a little timid, but as someone in the crowd shouted "I'm wronged", the others shouted one after another, and the sound was noisy.
Sima Yi's eyes were slightly cold.
Some people are unable to move forward without plug-ins, while others are plug-ins themselves.
For example, Sima Yi, he almost instantly realized something was wrong. Although these refugees seemed miserable, they were full of excitement when they shouted.
Another more important thing is that there are camps for refugees at the passes of the Sanfu in Chang'an, and surrounding counties are responsible for the preliminary resettlement work. Just like Wuguan, it corresponds to the Lantian refugee camp. After the refugee camp, it will be diverted, either to Hedong, or to Longyou, etc.
So where did such refugees of twenty or thirty people come from?
Sima Yi hasn't heard of anything happening in the surrounding refugee camps recently.
Sima Yi did not roar loudly, trying to suppress these refugees in the noisy waves, but stood quietly and watched until the voices of these refugees fell again.
The refugee shouted for a while, and when Sima Yi refused to answer, he gradually stopped.
Sima Yi said again: "Where are you from? What are you here for?"
Sima Yi did not speak official language, but tried to use common sayings as much as possible. It was not only for refugees to understand, but also for the rest of the people around him to understand.
Among the refugees, an elderly man moved forward a little and said in a trembling voice: "Caomin, Caomin is a native of Sichuan... He came to Chang'an to sue the Qiao family in Sichuan! The people of Qiao did all the things that harmed the heavens and collected money under various names. If they did not pay, they would be forced to collect them. We were a little dissatisfied and beat them up! Many people's land and houses were taken away! We wanted to go to Chengdu to complain, but Qiao family sent people to break up all of us halfway..."
The elderly spoke with a sad voice.
According to the truth, it seems to make sense. The way to complain to Chengdu was blocked, so I came to Chang'an to complain.
When Sima Yi heard this, he sneered in his heart.
If it were really, how many ordinary people would choose to go to Beijing to file a lawsuit? After all, this is not a day or two. The family's laborers have been away for so long, and their wives, children, and children are all dead, and these are the only people left?
Even in later generations, why do many people arrogantly say that they have the ability to sue? It’s not because ordinary people have to eat and drink every day, they can really be as idle as some bricks, saying that litigation is very simple, and they go every fifty? So in fact, most people do not understand the law as some bricks say, but they also understand it. It’s not that everyone is willing to swallow their anger, but because they know that they are suffering a loss, but the cost of suing is too high, and they finally give up.
Dali Temple is the final review agency for the relevant legal trials of counties and counties in various places. Its most important responsibilities review the serious cases of criminal prisons in various places. It does not directly accept complaints delivered by ordinary people. This is somewhat similar to the Supreme Court in later generations. It generally does not accept direct lawsuits, but Sima Yi took it.
Not only did he accept the complaint, he also asked the clerks from Dali Temple to register these refugees one by one, and he also publicly claimed that he would help these refugees find a place to live first...
Logically speaking, these refugees went to Chang'an and slept all the way. If there were free accommodation, it would be better. Sima Yi said that there might be some things that needed to be supplemented later. If you really want to complain, of course it would be impossible to say that it would be like handing over the complaint.
As a result, these refugees really seemed to be just to deliver paper...
Sima Yi did not let anyone stop them.
Because there were not only these refugees at the scene, but also those onlookers.
The refugees said that they did not need Sima Yi's help, saying that it would be good if they could accept the complaint. They did not ask for anything else, and then they dissipated in the voices of constantly praising Sima Yi.
The whole thing is strange.
But apart from the strangeness of the incident itself, what Sima Yi felt most uncomfortable was that these people actually treated him as a fool.
So Sima Yi decided that he must make this case clear...
…(〃′莲`)q…
The next thing, as Sima Yi had guessed, became complicated immediately.
Chang'an City is very big.
A large city means a large number of people.
As there are more people, there are naturally more people who are idle or have fun.
Moreover, these things involving public power have always been a concentrated place for people to gossip, so the news spread quickly.
However, in half a day, it seemed that it was already circulating in Chang'an City.
Any rumors in the world always have a characteristic, that is, they will become more and more exaggerated.
At the beginning, I only talked about more than twenty refugees, but when it was spread, it gradually became outrageous. What doubled was simply impossible to get on the table. Some people said hundreds of people, and there were nearly a thousand people, just like what a century-old store was claimed to be, but it turned out to be 99 years away.
Not only was it exaggerated in terms of the number of people, but there were also people who said that someone was beaten, injured, bleeding, and died...
There are countless rumors, but they also say them with a nose and eyes, which makes people believe them.
The great surnames of the gentry and ordinary people have had conflicts that cannot be dissolved. Over the years, after Fei Qian's governance, the children of the gentry have somewhat restrained and the contradictions have eased slightly. However, in this rumor, the contradictions that were deposited in the early years have suddenly surged again.
This kind of rumor is even more convincing than the sayings of ghosts and gods.
Ghosts and gods are too far away, but in reality, the children of the gentry are very close.
Those things that bully the people and bully the weak on weekdays are not the same as disappearing in memory because of the silence of the people or swallowing their anger, but settle down, just like mud and dust settled in the river of the heart. At any time, as soon as it is stirred, it will surge again!
At this time, the evil deeds of the "Qiao clan" mentioned by those refugees were mixed with the difficulties that these ordinary people had suffered before. As ordinary people in the Sanfu of Chang'an who had suffered from the great gentry, they naturally preferred to believe what the "refugees" said and would rather believe the rumors that sounded outrageous.
Even if they have some scepticism rationally, they choose to believe emotionally.
Because they think that this is the case with the gentry.
This is how local big-name people squeeze them.
As the spread of rumors becomes wider and more and more powerful, many people spreading rumors are swearing as if they have seen it with their own eyes. This in turn makes the people who originally didn't believe it begin to doubt and are shaken. The thoughts that they thought were unlikely to begin to change, "Is it true that this is true? Otherwise, why are so many people talking about it?"
Once this thought arises, it will be like a seed, sprouting in the hearts of the people, and then grow rapidly. Later, many people even mixed the suffering they suffered into, added rumors, and angrily accused the cruelty of the gentry and the culprits, showing their guilt...
So the "Qiao Family" did more and more evil.
Some of these rumored "evil things" have nothing to do with Qiao's family, but now they are placed on Qiao's head, because the people think that those damn big families are like this, and naturally the same is true for "Qiao's family".
This inherent contradiction cannot be completely eliminated by Fei Qian's governance or measures...
Just like later generations were very disgusted with the Bricks, not all experts were bricks, and not all caring people were black-hearted, but there were some weird things that left a deep impression on the people's minds. Even if they were adjusted and modified later, the original anchoring effect would not be easily pulled up.
Especially once it is anchored, and then after another, twice, three times, and more strengthening, it becomes an inherent impression. For example, when it comes to support, you think of hitting the car, when it comes to butt, you think of Sister Qing, and when it comes to Shandong, you think of schoolmates. These initiators may feel that they have done something wrong, why did they have such a big reaction?
Even if the people don’t say it or mention it, it does not mean that this matter can be completely ignored and there will be no subsequent impact.
The Dali Temple lawsuit against "Qiao Family" was fermenting faster than imagined.
It also exceeded Sima Yi's imagination.
Sima Yi found Kan Ze.
Kan Ze naturally heard about what happened in Dali Temple.
Because Kan Ze was not present at the time, and Wensi's people were not near Dali Temple, the whole incident was actually very fast from the time it happened to the end, so when Wensi's people arrived at Dali Temple, they did not see the refugees.
Kan Ze also had a skeptical attitude towards these refugees, because these people seemed to appear suddenly. But Kan Ze could not say that these refugees had problems. After all, ordinary people in Chang'an might be more willing to believe that "seeing is true". If there is a Wenshi saying that these refugees have problems, the onlookers may think that they are "officials and officials protect each other."
This may be because these refugees know that there may be flaws, but they still do such a move, because they don’t need to deceive everyone, they just need to deceive some ordinary people.
Therefore, when Sima Yi found Kan Ze, Kan Ze pretended to know nothing.
"Why should virtue and Run do this?" Sima Yi frowned slightly, "Don't say that you don't know why you came?"
Kan Ze still had that honest expression, "I would like to ask Brother Zhongda for advice."
"Check people!" Sima Yi said in a deep voice.
Kan Ze was silent for a while, "There is no official document for this matter."
Kan Ze did not say that it was not possible, nor did he say that this matter was not under his control, or that this was a matter of Dali Temple, but said that there was no official document.
There are two parts of the Wenshi Department, but I won’t talk about the people from the Weishi Department, but there are also news places in the Weishi Department, and the responsibility of collecting news. So Sima Yi came to Kan Ze and asked the Wenshi Department to investigate the people. It was not completely unruly, but there was no official document.
Because Youwensi is not private, it cannot be used by public instruments for private use.
Sima Yi nodded, but did not express any dissatisfaction because of this. Instead, he bowed and said, "It's a certain Meng Lang, I'll go and ask for the official documents of the cavalry."
Then, Sima Yi left.
Kan Ze looked at Sima Yi's figure, thought for a while, then shook his head and smiled, called the old congregation Cao from the archives office, and asked him to register the matter.
Does Sima Yi really don’t know if he wants official documents?
Obviously not.
It was just Sima Yi's test. On the one hand, it was to test whether the matter was caused by Wen Si, and on the other hand, it was to test whether Wen Si could be used by him under the water.
In addition, there may be a third aspect of testing...
Of course, Kan Ze's answer is just right.
The most interesting thing is that through this incident, Sima Yi showed that Youwensi is no longer an insignificant institution in Chang'an. This institution, created by General Cavalry, is showing younger and stronger strength. In comparison, Dali Temple's ability in reconnaissance is actually very weak.
Not long after, a commander came from outside the gate, indicating that the General of the Cavalry had been summoned.
Kan Ze reached out and took a small volume of document from the table, followed by the guards of the cavalry and came to the General's Mansion.
In the General's Mansion, Sima Yi sat on one side and saw Kan Ze, and nodded slightly to indicate.
"Meet the lord." Kan Ze stepped forward and saluted Fei Qian.
Fei Qian reached out and signaled Kan Ze to sit down, and then asked: "Zhongda just made a statement that someone pretended to be a refugee and told him before Dali Temple. I wonder if Derun knows whether this is the case?"
Kan Ze lowered his head slightly, took out the small volume of the document he brought from his sleeve, and asked the escorts to deliver it to him, and said, "The incident in Dali Temple suddenly happened. When the news of the Ministry of Information went, the refugees had dispersed... This is a summary of the subsequent investigation, please give a look."
Fei Qian took the book and opened it and found that Kan Ze's investigation was more than Fei Qian imagined. In addition to the situation Sima Yi said before, which happened at the Dali Temple yamen, Kan Ze also added some other information...
First of all, these refugees and refugees have no records in various passes.
It was not from Sichuan and Shu, nor from Shandong.
In the early stages of chaos in various places, especially during the Cao Cao's conquest, there were many refugees from Shandong, including Jizhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou in Qingzhou, and later there were many refugees from Jingzhou. However, as the war gradually settled, both sides, well, after the three parties entered a relatively stable period, the refugees decreased a lot.
Especially after Cao Cao realized the harm of population loss, he also vigorously promoted the strategy of rest and recuperation, comforted the local people, which caused the number of people who had originally fled to Guanzhong to slow down and gradually decline, and the number and scale of Guanzhong refugee camps were also shrinking.
After learning that these refugees were said to have come from Sichuan and Shu, Kan Ze sent people to Baoxi Road and Tangluo Road to inquire.
The Baoxi Road is relatively flat and is the first choice for many materials to travel through the caravans. Therefore, if these refugees follow the merchants all the way, it is very likely to be on the Baoxi Road. The front camp of the Baoxi Road said that they were caravans during this period and basically did not see any refugees. Although it is not ruled out that there may be a small number of refugees mixed in the caravans, the possibility of this is relatively small.
In addition, although Tangluo Road passes through some rows of mountains and bridges, it is much easier to walk on than before, it is still relatively steep and is only suitable for small caravans. If there are a large number of caravans, it is better to take the Baoxi Road or detour the Chencang Road in Longxi.
As for Ziwu Road, it is basically unlikely that refugees will pass. Because there are no sufficient supply points in Ziwu Road, unless these refugees can be like mountain soldiers, not only can they bring their own dry food, but they also need to know how to survive in the wild...
As for Chen Cangdao and Longxi directions, there is no information yet, so Kan Ze cannot say that he is completely convinced that these refugees are fake, and can only temporarily indicate that these refugees are slightly suspicious.
In addition, it was also mentioned in Kan Ze's report that these refugees who had appeared in Dali Temple did not appear outside Chang'an City.
Because the time is short, the entire investigation has come to an end here.
Fei Qian read it again and then gave the book to Sima Yi.
Sima Yi first bowed his hand to thank him, and then took the book. After reading it, he frowned slightly, "Lord, do you want to tell Master Qiao to come? This matter is probably to tell Qiao that it is false and the chaos of teaching scriptures is true."
Fei Qian thought for a moment, looked at Sima Yi, and smiled and said, "No need to spread it. Since I was told in front of the public before Dali Temple, I guess I have a big idea. These five temples are close to each other, so I must have known them. You might as well wait."
