Man Bao feels that this case is not easy to judge. The murderers who killed the child include people from the Guo family, Wu Dafu family, and even people from an alley are not innocent. If the rumors were not rampant, why would there be today's disaster.
"How do you want to judge?"
Bai Shan thought for a moment and said, "Judge according to the law and judge based on feelings."
Man Bao was silent for a while and then said: "I have decided to temporarily set up the medical office in Beihai County. Tomorrow you will have someone show me the houses in the hands of the county government, and I will choose one."
Bai Shan nodded: "Okay."
It sounds good when I think about it, but in fact Beihai County does not have any ready-made controlled houses.
There was some sweat on the forehead of Master Song, and he explained: "Sir, our Beihai County is small and poor. We haven't had a house confiscated in many years. Even if we do, it won't take long to sell it."
The county is only so big, and good places are limited.
If a house that has been raided is for sale, a wealthy family will spend some money to buy it. If that doesn't work, they can divide the house into several parts and rent it out directly.
After all, it’s an improvement, isn’t it?
Among them, County Magistrate Lu is the most important, and he never misses any opportunity to generate income.
Secretary Song found out the land deeds of the two houses owned by the county government and introduced the situation to Bai Shan, "Both these two houses are in the east of the city, which is noisier. I have owned this house for many years, but I just can't sell it.
I went out, but later County Magistrate Lu came and divided the house into several rooms and rented them out, and I could get back a few taels of silver a year."
Don't underestimate a few taels of silver. Maybe the county magistrate's salary comes from these few taels of silver.
Bai Shan looked at the contract at the back. A house was divided into three rooms and rented to three families respectively. The shortest one was rented for the next year. It was impossible for the family to move. Bai Shan was not willing to trouble others, so he said:
"Then rent it."
Master Song, who was about to wait for him to tell him about the construction, was stunned and asked with some uncertainty: "Rent?"
Bai Shan nodded, "I took a look and found that the rent in Beihai County is not high. A house with two entrances costs about ten taels of silver a year. Let's just rent one."
Man Bao also nodded, and said to Chief Song, "Mr. Song, please help me find all the dental shops in the county."
Chief Song hesitated and said: "It's not easy to rent... you are using it as a medical office. Wouldn't it be better to build one?"
Man Bao said: "The Imperial Medical Office has no money, can your county provide this money?"
Bai Shan on the side immediately said: "Our county doesn't have either."
He raised his head and looked at Chief Song, with threats in his eyes, "Maybe Chief Song is willing to support me?"
Master Song came to his senses and said quickly: "The adults can't afford this money. How can I, a little chief, afford it?"
"Then rent," Bai Shan made the final decision and said to Zhou Man, "You can find a house first, I still have to go out."
Zhou Man nodded, "You go ahead and I'll have a chat with Chief Song."
Master Song doesn't feel very good. He is a man and a woman alone. Will it be bad if the adults are not around?
But before he could say anything, Bai Shan turned around and left.
Man Baoze and Master Song asked, "Do you have a map of the county?"
Chief Secretary Song: "...the map is a secret. Where is it with the Lord? How can a lower official have it? And that is also the map of the entire Beihai County, not a single city."
Man Bao nodded, took out a piece of paper and said: "It's okay, I took a walk yesterday and got some impressions. Let's just draw one now."
She didn't pay attention to the distance of the ruler, so she directly drew a frame on the white paper and marked it with the county government office. After dividing the east, west, north and south, she drew the road. She looked at Master Song and said, "This avenue in front of the county government office..."
"It's called Menqian Street..."
Man Bao said: "I remember there is a big alley here..."
"Yes, this alley is called Haizi Alley. Many of the people living here used to go to sea..."
After Master Song finished speaking, he was a little annoyed. Why did he say everything?
Man Bao was very satisfied, however, and continued to mark the places she had walked yesterday, every street and alley, and even the wellheads she saw. In this way, she got to know the county bit by bit.
Bai Shanze asked people to call everyone in the alley to the county government office, and then opened a court to hear the case.
Both Fang Xiancheng and Dong Xianwei were very concerned. This was Bai Shan's first case since he took office, and this was only his second day in office.
To understand a person is not just to see what the other person said, but also to see what he did and how he did it...
They will have a rough idea of what kind of person their new county magistrate is after this case.
Therefore, both Fang Xian Cheng and Dong Xianwei remained silent, waiting to see how their county magistrate would decide the case.
They can keep their composure, but it's difficult for the people underneath.
Everyone in the county government was paying attention to this matter, but Bai Shan had just arrived, and his face was tender, so he couldn't help but be overwhelmed. Someone quietly talked to Fang Xian Cheng and Dong Xian Lieutenant, "I heard that the Wu family
The adults personally arrested the Guo family members, and it was actually nothing serious. However, after the neighbors had a few quarrels, the adults actually arrested them directly. If this can be considered a case, then the case we will handle in the future will be
There are too many cases. If you don’t know the number of cases reported at the end of the year, you might think that our Beihai County is a gangster den.”
"Yes, Mr. Bai is young after all. Whenever he encounters a small matter, he has to personally go into battle. It should be noted that the superiors need to be able to employ people. Such trivial matters can be left to the chief to handle."
Dong Xianwei listened with a smile and did not express his opinion, but Fang Xiancheng said solemnly: "Is your Excellency the superior one, or are you the superior one?"
The expressions of the officials who were discussing were slightly stiff.
Fangxian Cheng said: "Your Majesty has his own reasons for doing this. If you have any opinions, bring them to your face. Don't discuss them behind your back."
The officials bowed their heads in embarrassment and responded.
When Lieutenant Dong saw them leaving, he laughed with Fang County Cheng and said, "Master Fang, why should you be angry? They are also complaining about you. We thought you would take over as the county magistrate after Master Lu left."
Fang Xian Cheng said expressionlessly: "I have only been the county magistrate for two years. I have no great achievements and no knowledge. Why can I take over as the county magistrate for no reason?"
Lieutenant Dong County:......
Fangxian Cheng said: "The prisoner is coming up ahead, let's go and take a look."
Obviously, he was not worried. After all, it was Bai Shan's first time in court.
Bai Shan himself was also nervous, but only for a moment. When Wu Dafu and Guo Dalang were pressed up, he sat high in the hall and looked condescendingly at the three people, the government officials on both sides, and the neighbors who were called to listen to the hall. He felt nervous in his heart.
It was slowly healed.
Bai Shan took the gavel and slapped it casually. The sound of "dang" not only frightened the people below, but also frightened himself.
He glanced at the gavel involuntarily, exhaled quietly, and remembered to use less force the next time he wanted to shoot.
He looked at the people below with a sullen face: "Who is in the hall? Tell me your name."
