When they returned to the police room, the two seniors still couldn't close their lips.
"His grandma's, it is indeed a family tradition!" Zhang Mazi was so excited that every pockmark shone, and he grinned and said, "This time he has caught up with us ten times!"
"Sure enough, it's like 'there are talents from generation to generation, and a new generation replaces the old'!" Zang Dianli also praised: "I only planned to help you make some money for drinking, but I didn't know that I am the master of extortion!"
Wang Xian is such a shame, his family background is not considered, this should be his own skills... After all, it is not a good bettor who can't rip off money. As for integrity, he has already eaten up audit reports one by one.
.
"Ahem..." Wang Xian coughed twice, handed the kit to Zang Dianli and said, "I just want to relieve my hatred. Let me share this money with you brothers."
"Are you kidding? If you don't take it, you are looking down on us!" Zang Dianli refused to discuss: "There are five sticks in total. Each of us has one stick, and the remaining two sticks are one for Mr. Li and one to honor Mr. Wang. After all,
Under their banner, they will have to clean up the mess."
Wang Xian reluctantly took the two gold bars. I wonder if this is considered the 'black money' that his father said? Let's wait until his father comes back. After all, he was considered a gentle man in his previous life. He is not interested in this kind of naked blackmail.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party was Li Sheng, he wouldn't have said this.
"You don't have to pay attention to Fourth Master Ma?" Zhang Mazi happily put away the gold bars and asked in a low voice: "Li Sheng seems to have begged him, and he scolded our Master Hu yesterday. But the implication is that he is too dissatisfied
We eat alone."
"Don't worry about him." Zang Dianli said nonchalantly: "You can get some money to send him some other time." Although officials are inferior to officials in the yamen, the officials are outsiders and are isolated and isolated, while the officials are locals.
, go into groups, whether the officials can suppress the officials with their senses, or the officials can counter the officials, you have to fight to know. Obviously, Fourth Master Ma has not raised his prestige, so his sense of existence is extremely low...
After the division of the spoils was over, Zhang Mazi asked Wang Xian: "By the way, you said that Mr. Wang wants to be the jailer, are you serious?"
"Do you take the detention ticket in Brother Zhang's hand seriously?" Wang Xian asked with a smile.
"Oh..." Zhang Mazi paused after hearing this, then laughed loudly and said: "How cunning!"
In fact, Li Sheng's guess was not wrong at all. What He Chang confessed to during the interrogation was completely false. It was made up by Zang Dianli and Wang Mazi to extort money from him. But this is not the point. The point is that he instigated He Chang.
People knew about it. He was worried that if he didn't comply, the other party would report him. With his cold-faced temper, he would definitely investigate thoroughly!
Li Sheng hoped that He Changqiu would die without any evidence. When the hidden dangers were eliminated, there would be nothing to fear.
Old subordinates such as Zang Dianli and Zhang Mazi had an insight into his mentality, so they visited his door every two days to extort money. Because the closer to the Autumn Festival, the easier it was to blackmail. There is no such shop in this village.
Son, after the Autumn Battle, they won't be able to succeed.
As for Wang Xingye, he has not contacted his family since he came to Beijing. How could Wang Xian know his latest updates? He was just blind. But at this point, Li Sheng couldn't believe it... and he also saved a lot of money.
In order to resolve his grievances, he really hoped that Wang Xingye would let him go for the sake of money...
Rubbing the gold bars excitedly, Zhang Mazi said in high spirits: "Shall we go again tomorrow?"
"Ahem..." Wang Xian coughed twice and said, "Is it a bit over the top?"
"We can't do it if we don't hurry up." Zang Dianli said with a 'time waits for no man' look on his face: "Although the sheep are fat, they can't stand up to the many tigers and wolves. If we start slowly, we will be able to take advantage of everything."
"That's right." Wang Xian nodded. That Wang Ziyuan was not a good person either. He went to see the straight house allocated to him, and it was indeed a separate house. When he went in, he saw that he had not lived there for two years and it was already in ruins.
, it had to be overhauled, and suddenly the mood waned.
In the next half month, Wang Xian's life should not be too comfortable. Zhang Hua and Xun Dianli took most of the people to the countryside. He led about ten people to stay behind, because Zhang Sihu was afraid of being caught, so he took all the seals of the households.
After being taken away, Wang Xian could only deal with some daily affairs and get familiar with the work, which was very relaxing.
In his spare time, he was invited to banquets and drinks from time to time, and he would come home to stay overnight every now and then. Naturally, he would always be there with nothing. He would either carry a chicken or a fish to improve the lives of his wife, brothers and sisters.
He even felt that if he could live like this for the rest of his life, it would not be considered a failure.
Until that day, he witnessed that scene with his own eyes...
That day was October 17th, which was not the day for announcements. The yamen was quiet. Wang Xian was drinking tea and talking with Wu Wei in the public room, when he suddenly heard the sound of drums outside. Wu Wei couldn't help but wonder:
"Someone is beating drums to complain!" he said, opening the side window and looking out.
Wang Xian's public room was in the upper room, with the side window facing the Yimen. He saw the servants of Zaoban. Hearing the sound, he hurried out to check what was going on. After a while, he hurried in and reported to the magistrate.
The sound of drums resounded throughout the county government office, alerting the magistrate in the custody room. This was the first time since he took office that someone had beaten a drum to complain about injustice. Magistrate Wei was a little excited when he heard the sound.
After hearing the news, he went to the hall to ask questions.
Master Sima was still experienced and reminded: "Dong Weng, yesterday was the day to file the complaint. Why did the victim have to wait until today to file the complaint? We'd better figure it out before we talk."
"What's the matter? It happened suddenly." Wei Zhixian said nonchalantly: "Besides, speaking of the dynasty system, someone who beats the drum must be promoted to the court immediately, and there must be no mistakes."
While they were talking, the Zaoli came in and reported, "Master, it's not good. Someone is beating drums to complain!"
"I've heard it a long time ago." Wei Zhixian rolled his eyes at him angrily and said, "Who is playing the drums?"
"A group of talented people from the county school are in the public eye."
"Ah..." Wei Zhixian was shocked, and immediately stopped being eager to try: "What's the matter?"
"Well, they don't want to say it. They have to wait until the eldest master ascends to court before handing over the complaint!" Zaoli replied.
"..." Wei Zhixian frowned and looked at Sima Qiu. For a group of scholars to complain collectively, it must be an irresistible event. Wei Zhixian didn't realize that he had been an official for less than a year, and something happened.
The first reaction is not how to solve it, but whether it can be suppressed...
Sima Qiu also frowned and said, "It all depends on the situation. If Dong Weng finds it difficult, just accept the complaint first and hold court another day."
"Indeed." Magistrate Wei nodded, then left the signing room and came to sit in the second hall.
"Shengtang..." The servants cursed a hundred times in their hearts, and the voices calling for Shengtang were naturally loud.
"Who's playing the drums?" Wei Zhixian asked in shock.
"Your Majesty," the prison official Zang Dian said quickly, "it is Li Yu, Yu Yifan and other twelve people from this county who are suing Zhang Hua, the household secretary of this county, Xun Sancai, the official Xun Sancai and others who fabricated it out of thin air.
, expropriation, molestation of women, fish and meat village, etc. 18 crimes!"
"Oh..." Wei Zhixian was overjoyed when he heard that. Seeing that the tax collection deadline was approaching, but it was not even halfway completed, he was in a hurry to catch up, so he probably had to resort to tricks. He didn't expect to receive a backlash so quickly, and
This is the most troublesome thing for students to complain about.
"Pass." Wei Zhixian said a little feebly.
After a while, more than a dozen county student members wearing jade-colored soap-edged wide-sleeved blouses with black silk ribbons tied around their waists, black soft scarves on their heads, and two long belts hanging from their heads came in with their heads held high and their faces dark.
.
After standing in the hall, all the sentient beings bowed their hands to Wei Magistrate, which was regarded as a salute. The Ming Dynasty gave preferential treatment to scholars. As long as they passed the exam to be a scholar, they would not kneel down and would not be punished. Now they are suing the Yamen again, and they are not willing to be weak.
The momentum was such that he couldn't even bow to him.
Wei Zhixian was also one of the students in the past, and he had a natural affection for these junior students, provided of course that they would not cause trouble for him. He did not give a fright, but said kindly: "You students, don't work hard in your studies.
, what are you doing here?"
"Reporting to my old parents." The student who responded was twenty-seven or seventy-eight years old, with a dignified appearance and a burly body. It was Li Yu who was the leader. He cupped his fists and said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Students should only read the books of sages and have no ears."
I heard what happened outside the window! However, there is injustice in the countryside and the people are in great misery. We study to report to the country, and we are safe and well, so how can we turn a blind eye?"
"What's the injustice?" Wei Zhixian said with a serious face.
"There are several people including Zhang Hua, a subordinate official in this county, who have blatantly violated the national laws and ancestral rules. They have used the names of their parents, sent their minions to the countryside to urge classes, taken advantage of others and committed all kinds of evil, and the impact has been extremely bad. I ask my parents to arrest them immediately and bring them to justice."
Increase the punishment to calm the people's minds and set the record straight!" Li Yu said with grief and anger.
"Do you have any evidence?" Wei Zhixian asked.
"Students are the children of saints. How can they make false accusations without evidence?" Li Yu said loudly: "There are nearly a hundred evidences against these people, which can be said to be conclusive. Parents, please arrest this man and bring him to justice immediately!" As soon as he finished speaking,
The two scholars each held a thick stack of papers and presented them in the hall.
"There is also a blood letter jointly signed by the people of this county and presented to the old parents!" Another student, who was thin and gloomy, unfolded a thick silk book and saw that it was shocking, with at least a thousand bloody fingerprints! Then he listened to him
He recited loudly: "In the past, Confucius passed Mount Tai and said, 'Young man knows this, harsh government is as fierce as a tiger!' Today, my evil officials in Fuyang are no better than tigers and wolves..."
This article, "An Essay on Punishing the Corrupt Officials for Li Shu", was extremely powerful. When recited in class, it could be said that a slap brought blood, a whip made a mark, and the Wei magistrate was stunned. But it was difficult to stop, so he had to force it.
After listening patiently, Fang couldn't wait to say: "I have accepted your petition, and after reviewing it, I will choose a day to appear in court!" After saying this, he was shocked and said: "Quit!"
"Absolutely not!" Unexpectedly, the students immediately started shouting: "My parents can't delay!"
The government officials quickly shouted "Quiet", but it was of no use at all. The health officials stepped forward and surrounded Wei Zhixian: "At this time when the people are hanging upside down, old parents can't delay, please issue a warrant immediately to arrest the criminal and bring him to justice!"
