When the official documents from Jiyang County were delivered to Wancheng, Bai Tu read them carefully...
Although Jiyang is not far from Wancheng, and Bai Tu passed by there not long ago, after something like this happened, it would be difficult for Bai Tu to go back!
If Bai Tu comes in person, there is nothing to say - one clan? Compared to the authority of King Chu, the ten clans have to endure it!
But this is meaningless. If Bai Tu comes in person, he cannot regard this as a "benchmark". After all, not everyone's case can be put in front of Bai Tu.
It can even be disguised to make people feel that this kind of thing is really just a matter of words, but in fact it will only work if it is brought to the King of Chu...
Of course, detours are not possible, so Bai Tu is stuck here due to this lawsuit and has to postpone his return trip and "work remotely" in Wancheng.
Because the reform of prefectures and counties was involved before, Bai Tu also brought a team equivalent to the "Small Six Ministries". Some of the highly developed young people in the Six Ministries followed Bai Tu on the western tour and conducted on-the-spot inspections along the way.
Remote working is also very reliable.
"Your Majesty, the Feng Guards recently discovered that people in Wancheng are talking about this matter. I'm afraid..." Zhang Chunhua specially reminded him.
"Huh? Why are these people so gossipy?" Bai Tu frowned.
"Your Majesty... I'm talking about Jiyang Deng's case!" Zhang Chunhua corrected with a black line on his head.
"Ahem... Sure enough, these people are still ready to take action!" Bai Tu also realized at this time that if he was talking about Deng's case, it was not gossip, but that there were conservatives who wanted to fight with the court on this matter.
After Bai Tu obtained the detailed official documents of Jiyang County, Zhang Chunhua and Lu Lingqi only saw Bai Tu reading and writing and drawing on a large piece of paper...
The format looks messy, and if an old scholar sees it, he will probably say that this person is ungentlemanly... What? Was it painted by the King of Chu? Gee, there must be a mystery in it that we can't understand, okay!
That's right, Bai Tu drew a mind map after obtaining detailed case files.
There is a big word "Deng" written on his head - this lawsuit belongs to the Deng family.
The matter itself is not complicated. It’s just that considering the priority of solving the problem, it seems like a mess. But we can break it down first...
First of all, it saves you a lot of headaches!
When the property was transferred, county officials were bribed, thus circumventing the Chu State's inheritance law. Only minor officials were directly bribed, but the highest level... they confessed to a county registrar - the county magistrate's political assistant.
Because the vertical management of the six ministries in Nanyang has not yet been implemented, there are still positions such as county magistrate and chief registrar. In Jiangdong, they have all been replaced by officials of the "County Civil Affairs Department".
There is no need to hesitate about these people. From the chief clerk down, they all accepted bribes and were strictly investigated and punished. The white picture was marked with several crosses, and the county magistrate was removed from office for incompetence in supervising his subordinates.
Bai Tu is not in a hurry to directly deny the legality of the name change in the field deed, but he can first be sure about the bribery.
Because when the Criminal Division intervened, the reason Deng gave was to list a series of descendants and nephews of the deceased Deng Yang, and swore that they all had the right to inherit because Deng Yang had such an oral will arrangement during his lifetime.
And the fake certificate that was bribed to the county official was also the notarization of the will - after the county execution hall intervened, it was discovered that the county official did not leave Jiyang City to go to the countryside on the day of the notarization of the will!
Later, it was discovered that during that period, the county official's expenses were very lavish. He could not explain the source and was directly accused of accepting bribes. However... Deng insisted that the oral will existed.
The reason why the county officials are not present is because the clan elders are present - only the Chu State in the world requires county officials to be present, otherwise the clan elders can prove everything and there is no room for doubt.
Of course, my wife, Mrs. Wang, said there was absolutely no such thing...
Regardless of whether an oral will exists or not, Bai Tu first "unlimitedly exerts" his subjective initiative on another line.
Bai Tu did not care about the legitimacy of the testimony of the elders of the clan, but directly tried to bribe him. The county magistrate was dismissed on the spot, and the county magistrate would also face the scrutiny and strict investigation of officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Compared with such a trivial matter as "eliminating the household", a county magistrate is removed from office on the spot, and the county magistrate sees that it is difficult to protect him, which is already very shocking. If there is a choice... Jiyang County Magistrate now wants to pay for the Deng family himself.
!
At the same time, because the property has not been forcibly taken back, it will not cause too much backlash for the time being.
Compared with the turmoil over Deng's succession, the predicament of the county magistrate, and the dismissal of the county magistrate, it can only be regarded as an extremely small matter...
But since some people want to use Deng's affairs to test the bottom line of the imperial court, or even hype the imperial court's attitude, then the white picture is "killing the monkey to scare the chicken" - if you don't write the opposite, you will let the small one go.
Although the Deng family is small, it has become the focus of the conflict between the new laws and the clan system. Baitu did not touch the Deng family for the first time, but he showed unlimited potential in bribing officials. Even the county magistrate could not escape...
It has a deterrent effect and will not directly trigger a conflict.
Zhang Chunhua also saw the meaning of Bai Tu on the mind map. County magistrates and county magistrates were all "x", and county officials below the chief clerk were all "". Zhang Chunhua, who was already familiar with Bai Tu's writing habits, understood this.
It means to be serious and severe, even to look for trouble when there is nothing wrong.
Without Bai Tu having to say anything, Zhang Chunhua had already started drafting the approval note to be sent to the Ministry of Punishment and the officials. When Bai Tu wanted it, all he had to do was stamp it.
Sure enough, after Bai Tu finished drawing his mind map and figured out the clues for himself, as soon as he spoke to Zhang Chunhua, she had already written the approval slip and sent it over.
This is why Bai Tu feels that Zhang Chunhua is more comfortable as Shang Shulang than Jiang Wan!
At first, Zhang Chunhua pretended to write later, and even deliberately left mistakes for Bai Tu to correct, lest Bai Tu worry that she could guess his thoughts.
But later Zhang Chunhua discovered that Bai Tu didn't care very much, but admired her very much, so she began to show off her own advantages - which she still didn't follow her teacher.
At the same time, Bai Tu also added a message, notifying the local criminal department that Wang and her youngest son would be fully protected and taken care of. All expenses would go to the accounts of the criminal department, not the Ministry of Civil Affairs - that is, to take practical actions to first recognize the victims of the mother and child.
Identity, but let’s not talk about anything else.
When Zhang Chunhua went to deliver the approval note to the Xiao Liu Bu who was accompanying him, Lu Lingqi took advantage of the fact that no one was around and questioned Bai Tu: "That's it?"
As for the tacit understanding between Zhang Chunhua and Bai Tu, she is too lazy to complain...
Well, it's a work relationship, okay.
"Let's do this for the time being. At least until they finish, we can go to Jiyang in person!" Bai Tu said, and checked "Deng" a few more times.
Let Little Canada go, avoid conflicts, and at the same time express his attitude resolutely. In name, this is not an order for nothing, and there is no special issue!
Although the lawsuit has not been completely resolved, as long as the attitude is clear first, Bai Tu can rest assured that Wang Jia will go to Jiyang, and then he can do more things...
Especially...
That stupid five-year-old kid who can't even speak clearly...
