Li Zhi thought for a while and asked: "Is Lu Huarong innocent?"
Seeing Li Zhi repeatedly asking questions, Lu Hualin was a little unhappy and said: "I have tried it repeatedly, but it is clear that I have nothing to do!"
Li Zhi saw that his repeated questions were being prevaricated, and he knew that Lu Hualin would definitely not punish his brother. He gave himself an explanation by putting the rogue and the Lu family's servants on the map. Since the governor had said hello, Lu Hualin still dealt with it this way.
, Li Zhi, a commoner, did not dare to force anything.
"My Lord Tongzhi handles it this way, and I approve it."
"Okay! The police have detained the victim in the prison cell. I will go to the lobby to resolve the case. Mr. Li, please go and see it!"
Li Zhi entered the lobby and saw ten of Lu Huarong's servants kneeling on the ground with arrogant expressions. Both sides of the lobby were filled with government servants holding water and fire sticks. Lu Huarong stood aside, looking at Li Zhi with a look of resentment, as if he was not convinced by Li Zhi.
plant.
This official and businessman is used to being arrogant, and his brain is obviously not as good as his brother's.
With the support of the governor, the people from the Qing Military Department gave Li Zhi enough face. Li Zhi was guided by the yamen officers to stand in the plaintiff's position. He didn't have to kneel, he just stood and waited for his colleagues to ascend to the court.
The door to the lobby was open, but the door to the yamen was closed. Probably Mr. Tongzhi also knew that his case was unreasonable, and he didn't want the people to watch the handling of the case.
Accompanied by a loud shout, fellow acquaintance Lu Hualin walked in from the back hall. After taking his seat, he slapped the door on the wall, and the two squads of yamen officers shouted loudly with fire and water: "Oh!"
The scene was so majestic that the ten Lu family servants and scoundrels on the ground were so frightened that they looked panicked.
Lu Hualin sat in his official position, slapped the crowd again, and asked the Lu family's servants on the ground: "Lu Jiu and ten other people! You are coveting the Li family's property and gathering a crowd to make trouble and blackmail the head of the Li family. The plaintiff has already complained about this matter.
It’s clear, the matter has been found out, it’s pure and spontaneous, there are no two masters, can you plead guilty?”
Lu Hualin closed the case with one sentence, and there is no need for responsibility for excluding Lu Huarong.
The servants and scoundrels on the ground had already been greeted, and now they all shouted: "We are willing to plead guilty to the law!"
Seeing that the servants and the gangsters obeyed the command, Lu Hualin beamed with joy and shouted: "The whole story of this matter has been found out, the defendant has pleaded guilty, and there is no need for further trials!"
"Lu Jiu and other ten people, each with forty sticks! Let us serve as a warning to others!"
Hearing this, the government officials on both sides came up, pushed the prisoners on the ground one by one, and began to slap the boards.
Li Zhi originally expected to see wooden boards flying and flesh flying everywhere, but the reality disappointed him.
These servants, scoundrels and people from the Qing Military Hall are all members of the Lu family brothers, and they are all their own people. When the yamen servants played the boards, they were very gentle and only acted for Li Zhi. The yamen servants raised the boards high and sang and shouted loudly.
, but he hit it gently. The people on the ground also cooperated and screamed in pain when the stick was hit, as if their legs were broken, pretending to be very miserable.
Li Zhi knew that all this was just to fool him, but he had nothing to do. Officials at the highest level would kill others, let alone a commoner. Even with the support of the governor, he could only watch the show in front of the official.
After a quarter of an hour of beating, the forty large boards were finished. The prisoners on the ground only had some broken flesh and bruises, but no serious injuries.
But for Li Zhi, he had an explanation for being able to punish the Lu family servants who caused trouble.
After the execution was completed, Lu Hualin slapped the wall of the hall and shouted: "Quit!" Amidst the sound of the officials banging water and fire sticks, Lu Hualin went into the back hall and never came out again.
Lu Huarong felt that his face was dull, so he glared at Li Zhi and immediately left the Yamen.
The servants and scoundrels on the ground got up and helped each other, and slowly walked out of the hall.
After the matter was over, Chen Qishou, the prison official, came next to Li Zhi again and asked with a smile: "Master Li, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"
Li Zhi nodded and said: "It's okay!"
When Chen Qishou heard this, he beamed with joy and said, "It's good that Mr. Li is satisfied! Mr. Li must have a nice word for my master in front of the governor."
Li Zhi pretended to be a relative of He Shishou, so that the officials took a higher look at him, fearing that Li Zhi would go to He Shishou to complain. In fact, Li Zhi knew that he had no power and had very low requirements. As long as Lu Huarong was afraid, he would not come to him in the future.
Just worry about it. He stopped nagging Chen Qishou, nodded, and strode out of the Qing Military Office.
After settling Lu Huarong's matter, Li Zhi rested at home for a day and thought about the future.
After what happened to Lu Huarong, Li Zhi became more and more aware of the importance of power in this era. If he did not have an official position, his property would be seized by others sooner or later. Li Zhi decided to seek a military attache position. Based on the current situation, if Li Zhi
If Zhi has a military attache position, the little people who covet his own property will be somewhat intimidated.
Civil service positions are not acceptable. Civil service positions require a person with a distinguished background. It would take Li Zhi who knows how many years it will take him to pursue fame. Although it shows that the imperial examination office is corrupt, many times it can be done with money. For example, Fushe in Jiangnan once controlled the imperial examination. But
Even if you learn to write traditional Chinese characters and even memorize the Four Books and Five Classics so that you can understand the examiner's questions, it will take years. If you take this path, I am afraid that by the time Li Zhi finally gets the honor and becomes a civil servant, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has already
Checked in.
Being a military attache does not require such trouble, as long as you have military exploits. Although Li Zhi did not have any military exploits, Li Zhi had money. With money, he could "make" some military exploits.
What's more important is that military attachés can defend themselves legitimately, which is extremely important in the war-torn late Ming Dynasty. Although the civil servants of the Ming court are powerful now, they have no force. In the future, they will be like paper in front of Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji.
Fragile. But once Li Zhi became a military attache and used future technology to create an advanced armed force, he found the foundation for his life in this era.
Li Zhi made up his mind to find a position as a military attaché.
Li Zhi made up his mind, but still didn't know whether it was feasible, so he went to Xu Mince, who was familiar with officialdom, to discuss it with him.
Xu Mince learned of Li Zhi's intention, glanced at Li Zhi approvingly, and said with a smile: "Little brother Li also likes to be an official?"
Li Zhi said: "It's not that I want to be an official, but there is no official position that I can't resist the likes of Lu Huarong!"
"That's quite an explanation!" Xu Mince paused and said seriously: "But little brother Li, let me remind you that this military attache has the responsibility of guarding the land. Abandoning land and losing a city on the battlefield is a capital crime. Nowadays, bandits are raging against the Tatars ferociously.
It’s not easy to be a military attache of Tianjin Guard, if you are not careful you will lose your head.”
Li Zhi cupped his hands and said, "Li Zhi knows."
Xu Mince asked curiously: "Little brother Li knows this level, but he still wants to be a military attaché? Does it mean that little brother Li has a magic weapon to defeat the enemy?"
