Zhao Er sorted out the whole story of the case in front of the hall, which shocked the audience outside the hall. After that, there was a lot of emotion, and almost everyone criticized the two sons of the Zhang family.
No matter how many horrifying evils are hidden behind this bright world, once they are brought to the table, they must be criticized and criticized.
"The Zhang family is considered a wealthy family, and Mr. Zhang is a good person. I never imagined that it would end like this. The family is unlucky, and they will give birth to such descendants with human faces and animal hearts. They will not end up well. How pitiful..."
"These two brothers are very capable. One killed my father, and the other wanted to kill my brother. They are so cruel!"
"Anyone would be tempted by such a huge family property!"
"Fortunately, there is still a season, otherwise the Zhang family's business will be difficult to hold on to!"
"The third son of the Zhang family was lucky. The two brothers fought for each other, but ended up being beheaded and exiled. In the end, he, a bastard, got an advantage..."
There were a lot of discussions, but most of them were just standing and talking, and they couldn't avoid gloating. Hatred of the rich is a common phenomenon in any society at any time. You Zhang family is rich, but your son is unfilial, brothers kill each other, and you lose your family.
What is worthy of envy?
No matter how loud the discussion among the melon-eating people was, it would not have any real impact. The Zhang family was still a wealthy family. The hall was already a scene of dust and dust. No matter how much the two brothers begged for mercy, it was in vain. They were taken away by the government officials.
Those who deserve to be jailed will be jailed, and those who deserve to be slapped will be slapped with a slap in the face.
The three sons of the Zhang family, who were able to stay in the "VIP seat" and listen to the rebellion nearby, burst into tears and cried sadly. They seemed to be very sad about the family's misfortune. However, they were intimidated by the dignified voices of the government officials and finally stopped talking.
, looked at Zhao Kuangyi longingly, and then thanked him.
Zhao Kuangyi looked at the three sons of the Zhang family, who were young and ordinary-looking. His eyes narrowed slightly, and Zhao Kuangyi said to him calmly: "The county has already dealt with those involved in this case, and the rest are those within the Zhang family.
Something happened.
Also, all the changes in the Zhang family are due to your family’s land, house and property. You should take this as a warning and know the importance of filial piety! There is only one piece of advice in this county. Go home and run your family well, respect your elders, educate your children, and don’t make trouble again.
It has become such a human tragedy!”
"Yes! I thank you so much for the county's teachings. I will remember them and never forget them!" Hearing this, the third son of the Zhang family wiped away his tears and said hurriedly.
After another deep look at the person, Zhao Kuangyi clapped his hands and said solemnly: "Case closed! Retreat!"
With Zhao Kuangyi's character, how can we not think more about the problems between the Zhang brothers? The two brothers fought to a bloody battle. Although he was just a concubine, he seemed too innocent and honest.
, too lucky.
It was him who followed and rescued the eldest brother, and the servant's report of the eldest son harming his father also appeared unexpectedly. Who is Zhao Kuangyi? These two points are enough to arouse his suspicion. However, no matter how you investigate, it is more difficult.
There were other more surprising discoveries.
Zhao Kuangyi indeed suspected that the three sons of the Zhang family also played a certain role in this drama of fighting for family property. However, in terms of their behavior, there was really nothing wrong with them. Therefore, when it came to the punishment, Zhao Kuangyi still followed the law.
He even awarded the property to the third child.
However, the third son of the Zhang family successfully attracted the attention of Zhao Kuangyi. His term in Zhongmou has just begun, and there is still plenty of time...
After the verdict was announced, there were still people who didn't want to leave. They obviously wanted to see if there was any follow-up, but the yamen officials had already started to drive people away. Zhao Kuangyi returned to the second hall and prepared to personally write an official document about the case to his superiors.
The chief clerk was an old man with gray hair, wearing a light satin, and he was very Confucian. When he walked into the hall, Zhao Kuangyi had already put down his pen. Looking at Zhao Kuangyi, he couldn't help but sigh: "The Zhang family incident has caused a stir in Zhongmou.
The influence is extremely bad. Fortunately, Mingtang has a sharp mind and discerns every detail, so that the truth can be revealed. The talents of Mingtang are enough to help the country!"
"Thank you, Weng Liu!" Zhao Kuangyi said plainly. Although his words were modest, his expression showed a touch of confidence.
"The people who were watching were all praising Mingtang for his wisdom, his clear understanding of everything, his decision-making for the people, and his fair punishments, which is very satisfying!" the chief clerk continued.
Hearing this, Zhao Kuangyi finally smiled a little and said: "Serving as an official for one term, benefiting a party, and asking for orders for the people is both justice and responsibility. Otherwise, wouldn't you be fulfilling the entrustment of the court?"
Seeing him say such high-sounding words, the chief clerk wanted to support him and compliment him.
"Okay!" Zhao Kuangyi was very motivated and was not easily fooled by these kind words. He directly ordered: "I have written the text for Kaifeng Mansion. Let Liu Weng arrange the distribution as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" The chief clerk praised Zhao Kuangyi for his efficiency, and then went directly to make arrangements.
Sitting in the second hall, sipping tea for a while, a young man in official uniform hurriedly entered. He was originally a servant of the Zhao family. Following Zhao Kuangyi, he was assigned to work as an official in the county government. At this time, there was a touch of solemnity on his face.
, reported: "Lang Jun, the captain of Chaixian County sent someone to inform you that the British Lord has entered the country and is ready to greet you. He said he will wait for you at the west gate!"
Zhongmu not only has a young county magistrate, but also an even younger county captain. You can tell who he is just by looking at his last name. Chai Zongyi, the eldest son of the British father Chai Rong, is only in his early twenties now, but he is already a Zhongmu magistrate.
The county lieutenant of a large county is a position that most mortals will find difficult to achieve in a lifetime of hard work. Even so, some people think it is low.
In the eyes of many people, for a minor official like a county captain to be held by the eldest son of a British prince, it can be considered a demotion. Chai Rong also has a conservative attitude towards this, but he does not feel that the official position is low, but that he feels that the official position is low.
Chai Zongyi was young, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to assume the important position of county captain, who directly manages the people, especially in a large county like Zhongmu.
Many low-level positions are more difficult to do than those of high-level positions, but they are also more training. Chai Zongyi's official position was taken care of by Emperor Liu. In his words, he should be trained and trained. It's not that he has no foundation at all, at least
He left from the common dormitory.
In fact, the talents that Emperor Liu really valued were specially arranged to be trained from low positions to accumulate experience and improve their abilities. Prime ministers must start from prefectures and counties, and generals must be sent to the army. This is a hard truth.
At the same time, as the second generation of nobles of the Han Dynasty gradually grew up, a new generation of figures began to be active in Daozhou all over the world. The imperial examination system was still the main method of selecting candidates for the Han Dynasty, but the gifts of Yinguan had never been abandoned.
It has existed before and will always exist throughout history.
In fact, Emperor Liu also expected that some talents would emerge from the noble class. After all, everyone belonged to the ruling class and had common interests. These people would be more active in safeguarding the rule. But there are pros and cons. First, he was afraid that the tail would not be lost, which would affect the imperial power. Second,
Afraid of raising a bunch of moths...
Emperor Liu couldn't think of a solution, nor could there be a solution that only saw the good but not the bad. He could only manage his own era, be happy to see the good, be wary of the bad, and make timely adjustments when encountering problems.
.I really can’t do more.
Chai Zongyi took office earlier than Zhao Kuangyi. However, after Zhao Kuangyi took office, the two became close. Zhao Kuangyi was still very famous among the young nobles, and many people were willing to associate with him.
Including Chai Zongyi.
This time, Chai Rong returned to Beijing, and of course his son also got wind of it. He sent people to keep an eye on the post road and report at any time. Zhao Kuangyi also knew about this and specifically asked Chai Zongyi to inform him.
Therefore, when he learned that the British Duke had passed through the border, Zhao Kuangyi did not hesitate at all. He simply packed up and took the official to the west city gate to meet Chai Zongyi to greet him.
Zhao Kuangyi was smarter and did not go into a big fight. He took all the county officials with him, and only went there with Chai Zongyi and a few servants. It can also be said that he did not go to greet Chai Rong as the magistrate of Zhongmou County, but as his nephew and descendants.
