On the second day of August, in the county government office of Qidong County, Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province, a large number of famous Jin gentry people from Qidong County gathered together and filled the second hall of the county government office.
These big figures in Qidong County gathered together to discuss how to resist the "Tin State Public Tribunal".
Nowadays, there is only one newspaper left in Shandong, "Shandong Daily", and Li Zhi can easily influence the public opinion of the province. During this period, Shandong Daily vigorously promoted the benefits of Tianjin's "Tinjin Public Tribunal" and published countless stories about the "Tinjin Public Tribunal"
The case explains in detail the great changes in Tianjin before and after the establishment of courts, and explains the huge benefits that Tianjin people have gained from a fair and equal social order.
Nowadays, more and more people in Shandong are listening to newspapers. It only costs one or two cents to listen to newspapers in a teahouse, which can be afforded by citizens and farmers. After the destruction of "Three Kings Daily", the number of listeners of "Shandong Daily" has increased.
There has been a considerable increase. Nowadays, the influence of Shandong Daily can be said to have penetrated into every corner of Shandong.
"Shandong Daily" is so popular and is fully promoting the "Tianjin Public Court". People in Shandong are increasingly looking forward to the arrival of the "Tianjin Public Court". "Shandong Daily" strikes while the iron is hot and places the "Tianjin Public Court" in Shandong
All arrangements are posted:
The court in Shandong will set up a local court in each county, an intermediate court in each prefecture, and a high-level court in Jinan. Shandong Daily introduced: If you feel you have been wronged after completing the lawsuit in the lower-level court, you can also file a complaint with the higher-level court to have your case resolved.
The higher court invested more manpower and material resources in the investigation and issued a more authoritative verdict.
As soon as the people who listened to the newspaper heard about this gesture, they knew that this system ensured that individual judges could not engage in malpractice for personal gain. They understood the fairness and impartiality of the Tianjin Public Court even more, and they became more eager to look forward to the opening of the court.
Carpet-bombing publicity and a court system that has really benefited the people have undermined the charm of the Tianjin Public Court. In many states and counties, people who have been oppressed by the powerful are already secretly collecting evidence, waiting for the Tianjin Public Court to enter Shandong
Later he went to redress his grievances.
For civil servants in Shandong, this is undoubtedly bad news.
Li Thief not only wants to control public opinion in Shandong, but also competes for the judicial power of the local chief officials. If the local chief officials no longer have the power to judge lawsuits, and the people will appeal to the Jinguo Court whenever they have disputes, who will let the local chief officials go free in the future?
In your eyes?
Which is tolerable and intolerable?
However, Li Zhi had a strong army and a strong horse. He had just killed more than a hundred newspaper workers in Jinan. It was really dangerous to fight against Li Zhi. Although the local officials in Shandong were angry, they were collectively silent.
At this time of darkness, Qidong County Magistrate Wang Siyong decided to stand up.
Wang Siyong, the magistrate of the county, has a reputation for being clean and honest. He strictly abides by etiquette and is always benevolent and righteous. He is not greedy for money and is not lustful. He is praised as a virtuous man by Shandong scholars. Wang Siyong feels that Li Zhi cannot catch him, and other local officials are afraid of being criticized by "Shandong".
The Daily News took advantage of it and made it look bad, but Wang Siyong was not afraid at all.
In the second hall of the county government office in Qidong County, Wang Siyong glanced at the Jin gentry celebrities, stroked his beard and said: "This order calls you here to discuss the court matter mentioned in the "Shandong Daily"."
Before Wang Siyong finished speaking, an old man with gray hair on the left wearing a silk round collar suddenly raised his cane and said loudly: "Even if the county magistrate doesn't come to us, we will still look for the county magistrate. Li
Why does Zhi, an admiral of Tianjin, come to Shandong to hold court? He is the Duke of Tianjin, why should he still care about my affairs in Shandong? Does he still have court laws in his eyes? "
He strutted his cane again and said: "What Li Zhi wants to do is not to create a court, but to turn Shandong into the second Tianjin. Today we will run a newspaper, tomorrow we will go to court, and the day after tomorrow we will collect land taxes on our tax-free fields."
.I am afraid that all the things that Li Zhi added to Tianjin will be moved to Shandong."
The old man who spoke was Han Juren from Shanqian Township, who was also a well-known figure in Qidong County and had always been prestigious. When the Jin gentry present heard Han Juren mention the word Tian Fu, their faces sank. Li Zhi controlled public opinion,
Robbing justice can be tolerated. But if Li Zhi ends up collecting taxes from the gentry in Shandong, it will be unbearable.
Look at the miserable fate of the gentry in Tianjin after they were given land taxes. The formerly prosperous and prosperous families suddenly saw their income plummet and their families dispersed. In extreme cases, some gentry with many wives and grandchildren not only could no longer support their servants, but even their whole family.
It is a problem for people to have enough to eat.
If the problem of money reaches a certain level, it becomes a problem of life.
A middle-aged Jin gentry jumped out and said loudly: "Li Zhi thought that killing more than a hundred people in Jinan would scare the scholars in Shandong, but he didn't know that the scholars in Qilu are not weaklings. If Li Zhi dared to
A court was set up in Qidong County, and even if I was raped by Li Zhi, I would bring my servants to destroy the court."
Another scholar raised his hand and said: "Even if blood is spilled in Li's court, I will not sit back and watch Li annex Shandong. I want the emperor to know that Li's actions in Shandong have reached a level that makes people and gods angry."
The words of the two men aroused the applause of other Jin gentry.
However, although the other Jin gentry present applauded, they were not as excited as these two people. Everyone knew that Li Zhi was brutal and murderous. Even if several scholar landowners in Qidong County were killed by Li Zhi, they would not cause much trouble.
He prevented Li Zhi from bringing the court to Shandong.
If Li Zhi went on a killing spree and frightened other gentry, bad things would happen.
Everyone looked at the county magistrate Wang Siyong.
Although Wang Siyong is only a county magistrate, he is a famous incorruptible county magistrate in Shandong. Even the governor of Shandong will give him some courtesy when he sees Wang Siyong. In Shandong, Wang Siyong has a very good reputation among the people. He has a good reputation in two counties in Shandong.
After serving as a county magistrate for more than ten years, his reputation for being impartial and selfless has spread widely. Which village woman in Shandong doesn't know that there is an upright official in Qidong County?
If Wang Siyong stood up against Li Thief, Li Thief might still be afraid.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Wang Siyong nodded and said: "I have summoned you all here just to announce my decision. I have some reputation in Shandong, and officials and gentry from all over the country give me a little favor. Since I
With everyone's courtesy, I will never remain silent at this critical moment."
"What reason does Li Zhi, the Duke of Tianjin, have to reach out to Shandong? I have decided to take the lead in opposing Li's court. In the near future, I will send letters to officials and gentry from all over Shandong, and I will personally call on the gentry in Shandong to
Stand up and fight against Li Thief's court. If the court comes to Qidong County, I will rush in with my crutch and fight Li Thief's minions!"
"Everyone in the world says that I am an upright official. I want the world to see clearly how Li Zhi treats me, an upright official."
"If Li Zhi kills me, I will die for the people of Shandong! The people of Shandong will see clearly the face of Li Zhi and the lies of "Shandong Daily". The gentry of Shandong will shout in unison and join the people.
Thief Li's court was smashed to pieces. As long as things get serious, the emperor will understand that Thief Li has brought disaster to the country and the people, and will definitely mobilize a large army to attack Thief Li."
