Dali Temple in Chang'an has always been a relatively clean place.
Of course, this place should be clean. Just like if the court in later generations is as busy as a vegetable market, it is often not necessarily a good thing.
Twenty or thirty people dressed as refugees suddenly gathered outside the Yamen of Dali Temple. They all knelt down and loudly voiced their grievances.
This strange sight naturally attracted everyone's attention.
The refugees, dressed in rags and dusty, knelt down in front of the Yamen of Dali Temple, while the people in the city gathered around to watch the excitement. After all, this was a rare sight.
Seeing this situation, Sima Yi, as the chief official of Dali Temple, of course could not neglect it, so he came out from inside, came to the refugees, and shouted loudly: "If you are wronged, please tell me quickly!"
Seeing Sima Yi appear, the refugees looked a little timid, but as someone in the crowd shouted "You are wronged", others also shouted loudly, making the sound noisy for a while.
Sima Yi's eyes were slightly cold.
Some people can't make it without plug-ins, while some people are plug-ins themselves.
For example, people like Sima Yi realized that something was wrong almost instantly. Although these refugees looked miserable, they shouted with great vigor.
Another point that is more critical is that there are camps for accepting refugees at the passes of Sanfu in Chang'an, and the surrounding counties are responsible for the preliminary resettlement work. Just like Wuguan, it corresponds to the Lantian refugee camp.
After the refugee camp, relevant diversion will be carried out, either to Hedong, or to Longyou, etc.
So where did these twenty or thirty refugees come from?
Sima Yi has not heard of anything happening in the surrounding refugee camps recently.
Sima Yi did not roar loudly in an attempt to overwhelm these refugees amid the noise, but stood quietly and watched until the voices of these refugees fell down again.
The refugees shouted for a while, but when Sima Yi didn't answer, they gradually stopped talking.
Sima Yi then said again: "Where are you from? And why are you here?"
Sima Yi deliberately did not speak Mandarin, but tried to use common language as much as possible. Not only so that the refugees could understand, but also so that other people watching around him could understand.
Among the refugees, an older man stepped forward and said in a trembling voice: "The Caomin, the Caomin are from Sichuan... I came to Chang'an to sue the Qiao family in Sichuan! The people of the Qiao family have done all kinds of things that are harmful to nature and justice."
, collecting money in various names, and if the money is not paid, it will be collected by force. If we are slightly dissatisfied, we will be beaten severely! Many people's fields and houses have been robbed! We want to go to Chengdu to file a complaint, Qiao Shi
Then they sent people halfway to disperse us all..."
The elder said with a sad voice.
Logically speaking, it seems to make sense. The road to Chengdu to file a complaint was blocked, so I came to Chang'an to file a complaint.
When Sima Yi heard this, he sneered in his heart.
If it were really ordinary people, how many would choose to go to Beijing to complain? After all, this departure is not just a day or two. The labor at home has been away for such a long time, and the wives, children, and children are all gone? Or is it that these people's wives, children, and children are all dead?
Are these people left?
Even in later generations, why do so many people arrogantly express that they have the ability to sue? Isn’t it because ordinary people have to take care of food and drink every day, so they can really be as free as some brick-and-mortar families, saying that litigation is very simple, and they only need to go once every fifty years.
?So in fact, most people do not understand the law as some experts say, but they do understand it. It does not mean that everyone is willing to swallow their anger, just because they know they are suffering a loss, but they still understand it.
The cost of the lawsuit was too high, so we finally gave up.
Dali Temple is the final review body for relevant legal trials in various counties and counties. Its most important responsibility is to review the severity of prison sentences in various places. It does not directly accept complaints submitted by ordinary people. This is somewhat similar to the Supreme Court in later generations, which generally does not accept
A direct lawsuit, but Sima Yi took it.
Not only did he accept the complaint, but he also asked the scribes of Dali Temple to come out and register these refugees one by one. At the same time, he also publicly announced that he would help these refugees find a place to live first...
Logically speaking, these refugees arrived in Chang'an and slept in the open all the way. It would be better if free accommodation was provided, and Sima Yi had already said that there might be some things that needed to be supplemented later. If they really wanted to file a complaint, of course they wouldn't.
It might be said that it's as if the complaint is submitted and that's it.
It turns out that these refugees really seemed to be here just to deliver the writ papers...
Sima Yi did not let anyone stop them.
Because there were not only these refugees at the scene, but also people watching.
The refugees all said that they did not need Sima Yi's help. They said that just being able to accept the complaint was already good. They did not expect anything else, and then they dispersed amidst the constant praise of Sima Yi.
There is something fishy about the whole thing.
But apart from the strangeness of the incident itself, what made Sima Yi most uncomfortable was that these people actually treated him like a fool.
So Sima Yi decided that he must figure this out clearly...
……(〃′ Pan`)q……
What happened next, just as Sima Yi had guessed, the matter immediately became complicated.
Chang'an City is very big.
A large city means there are many people.
When there are more people, there will naturally be more idlers or people who are interested in having fun.
Moreover, these matters involving public power have always been a gathering place for people's gossip, so the news spread quickly.
In just half a day, the news seemed to have spread in Chang'an City.
But all rumors in the world always have one characteristic, that is, they will become more exaggerated as they spread.
At the beginning, it was just about 20 refugees. Later, when it was spread, it gradually started to be outrageous. It was almost impossible to make anything double the number. Some said there were hundreds, and some said nearly a thousand.
Yes, just like what later generations claimed was a century-old store, but it turns out that it was still ninety-nine years old.
Not only was the number of people exaggerated, but some people also said that people were beaten, injured, bleeding, and dead...
There are countless rumors, but they are so convincing that people have no choice but to believe them.
There are irresolvable conflicts between the gentry and ordinary people. In the past few years, after Fei Qian's governance in Chang'an Sanfu, the gentry's children have somewhat restrained themselves, and the conflicts have eased slightly. However, among the rumors this time
, suddenly those conflicts that had settled in the early years surged up again.
This kind of rumor is even more "convincing" than the theory of ghosts and gods.
Ghosts and gods are too far away, but in reality, the nobles are very close.
Those things that bully the people and bully the weak in daily life have not disappeared from the memory because of the people's silence or swallowing their anger, but have settled down, like mud and dust settling in the river of their hearts.
At any time, as long as it is stirred, it will surge up again!
At this time, the evil deeds of the "Qiao clan" mentioned by the refugees were mixed with the difficulties that these ordinary people had endured before. As ordinary people of Chang'an Sanfu who had suffered from the noble families, they were naturally more willing to
I believe what the "refugees" say, and I am more willing to believe those rumors that sound a little outrageous.
Even though they may have doubts intellectually, they choose to believe emotionally.
Because they think that's what the gentry is like.
This is how big local households exploit them.
As the spread of rumors becomes wider and wider, and their influence becomes greater and greater, many people who spread rumors swear by it as if they have witnessed it with their own eyes, which in turn makes the people who originally did not believe it begin to doubt and be led to believe it.
I was shaken, and my thoughts that I thought were impossible before began to change, "Is this really possible? Otherwise, why are so many people talking about it?"
Once such an idea arises, it is like a seed that sprouts in the hearts of the people and then grows rapidly. Later, many people even mix the suffering they have endured into it and join the rumors.
, angrily accused the cruelty of those wealthy noble families and demonstrated their guilt...
So "Qiao" did more and more evil.
Some of the "evil things" among these rumors have nothing to do with the Qiao family at all, but now they are placed on the Qiao family's head, because the people think that those damn big families are like this, and the "Qiao family" naturally
This is also true.
This kind of inherent contradiction cannot be completely eliminated by Fei Qian's management or measures...
It's like later generations are very disgusted with Zhuanjia. Not all experts are Zhuanjia, and not all caring people are black-hearted. However, there are some weird things that have left a deep impression on the minds of the people.
, even if it is adjusted and modified later, the original anchoring effect cannot be easily removed.
Especially once it is anchored and strengthened once, twice, three times, or more times, it becomes an inherent impression. For example, when talking about support, I think of touching, and when talking about buttocks, I think of
Sister Qing, when I talk about Shandong, I think of my schoolmates. These instigators may think that they just did something wrong. Why do they have such a big reaction?
Even if the people stop talking or mentioning it, it does not mean that this matter can be completely ignored and there will be no subsequent impact.
The Dali Temple lawsuit against the "Qiao clan" has escalated at a speed beyond imagination.
It also exceeded Sima Yi's imagination.
Sima Yi found Kan Ze.
Naturally, Kan Ze also heard about what happened in Dali Temple.
Because Kan Ze was not present at the time, and the people from Wen Si were not near Dali Temple, the whole incident actually happened very quickly from the occurrence to the end. Therefore, when the people from Wen Si arrived at Dali Temple, they did not see him.
to those refugees.
Kan Ze is also skeptical about these refugees, because these people seem to appear out of nowhere. But Kan Ze cannot say that there must be something wrong with these refugees. After all, ordinary people in Chang'an may be more willing to believe "seeing with their own eyes"
"It's true." If someone hears that there is a problem with these refugees, the people watching may think that "officials are protecting each other."
This may be because these refugees know that there may be flaws, but they still act like this, 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 that he knew nothing.
"Why is Derun like this?" Sima Yi frowned slightly, "Don't say you don't know why so-and-so is here?"
Kan Ze still had that honest expression on his face, "Please give me some advice from Brother Zhongda."
"Check people!" Sima Yi said in a deep voice.
Kan Ze was silent for a while, "There is no official document on this matter."
Kan Ze did not say no, nor did he say that the matter was not under his control, or that it was a matter of Dali Temple, but said that there was no official document.
The Wen Department has two parts, the light and dark ones. I won’t talk about the dark ones, but those in the light department also have the responsibility of hearing about places and collecting information, so Sima Yi came to Kan Ze and asked the Wen Department to investigate. It was not completely against the rules, it was just
There is just no official document.
Because Youwensi is not private and cannot be used for public or private purposes.
Sima Yi nodded, and did not express any dissatisfaction because of this. Instead, he held up his hands and said, "It's a certain Meng Lang. I will go and ask for the official document from the hussar."
Afterwards, Sima Yi left.
Kan Ze looked at Sima Yi's figure, thought for a while, then shook his head and smiled, calling the old Cong Cao at the back office and asked him to register the matter.
Did Sima Yi really not know that he wanted official documents?
Obviously not.
It was just a test by Sima Yi. On the one hand, it was to test whether Youwen Si had done this, and on the other hand, it was to test whether Youwen Si, who was under the water, could be used by him.
In addition, there may be a third aspect of temptation...
Of course, Kan Ze's answer was just right.
The most interesting point is that through this incident, Sima Yi showed that the Youwen Division is no longer an insignificant organization in Chang'an Sanfu. This organization founded by General Hussar is showing that it is younger and younger.
Stronger strength. In comparison, Dali Temple's ability in investigation is actually very weak.
Not long after, suddenly a messenger came outside the door, indicating that the General Hussar had summoned him.
Kan Ze reached out and took out a small volume of literature from the table, and then followed the Hussar guards to the General's Mansion.
In the general's palace, Sima Yi was sitting on one side. When he saw Kan Ze, he nodded slightly.
"Greetings to my lord." Kan Ze stepped forward and saluted Fei Qian.
Fei Qian stretched out his hand to signal Kan Ze to sit down, and then asked: "Zhongda has just mentioned that someone pretending to be a refugee has complained before Dali Temple. Does Derun know about this?"
Kan Ze lowered his head slightly, took out the small volume he had brought with him from his sleeve, and asked the hussar guards to deliver it to him, while saying: "The incident in Dali Temple happened suddenly. When Secretary Wen heard the news and went there, the refugees had already dispersed."
...This is a summary of the follow-up investigation, please take a look at it."
Fei Qian took the book, opened it, and found that Kan Ze had investigated more matters than Fei Qian had imagined. In addition to what Sima Yi said before about what happened at the Dali Temple Yamen Gate, Kan Ze also added
Got some additional information...
First of all, these refugees are not recorded in the various passes.
They are not from Sichuan and Sichuan, nor are they from Shandong.
In the early days of chaos in various places, especially during Cao Cao's conquest, there were many refugees from Shandong, including Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Xuzhou. Later, there were also many refugees from Jingzhou. However, as the war gradually
After pacification, both sides, well, the three parties entered a relatively stable period, and the number of refugees decreased a lot.
In particular, after Cao Cao realized the dangers of population loss, he also vigorously promoted the strategy of recuperation and pacification of local people, so that the number of people who originally fled Guanzhong began to slow down and gradually declined, and the number and scale of Guanzhong refugee camps were also reduced.
.
After learning that these refugees were said to be from Sichuan and Sichuan, Kanze sent people to Baoxie Road and Tangluo Road to inquire.
Baoxie Road is relatively gentle and is the first choice for many goods exchanges and caravans to pass through. Therefore, if these refugees are following the merchants, they are likely to take Baoxie Road. The front camp of the checkpoint on Baoxie Road stated that this section
The time was spent on caravans, and basically no refugees were seen. Although it is not ruled out that there may be a small number of refugees mixed with the caravans, this possibility is relatively small.
In addition, although the Tangluo Road passes through a series of mountain bridges and is much easier to walk than before, it is still relatively steep and is only suitable for small caravans. If there are a large number of carriages and horses transporting, it is better to take the Baoxian route.
Road, or a detour to Chencang Road in Longxi is more suitable.
As for the Ziwu Road, it is basically impossible for refugees to pass through. Because there are no sufficient supply points on the Ziwu Road, unless these refugees can be like mountain soldiers, they can not only bring their own dry food, but also know how to survive in the wild...
As for Chencangdao and Longxi, there is no information reported yet, so Kan Ze cannot say that he is completely sure that these refugees are fake. He can only temporarily say that these refugees are slightly suspicious.
In addition, Kan Ze's report also mentioned that these refugees who appeared in Dali Temple did not appear outside Chang'an City.
Because the time is short, the entire investigation comes to an end here.
Fei Qian read it again and then gave the book to Sima Yi.
Sima Yi first thanked him and then took the book. After reading it, he frowned slightly and said, "My lord, do you want to send a message to Taoist Priest Qiao to come? I'm afraid it's a false accusation against Qiao."
, disrupting the sutra teaching ceremony and making it true.』
Fei Qian thought for a while, glanced at Sima Yi, and said with a smile: "There is no need to spread the news. Since it is reported to the public in front of Dali Temple, it must be a big deal. The Five Directions Dojo is nearby, so it must be known. You might as well wait a moment.
that is."
This matter is such a big fuss. If Qiao Bing still pretends not to know and delays the attempt, then he doesn't need to come again...
