Two hundred and sixty-eight chapters Qingtian Fusu
In the early morning, after Lin Ze finished practicing martial arts, he planned to go out and see what was going on at Chen Ping's Jinyiwei stronghold while he had some free time.
However, as soon as Lin Ze and the four elders of Fang Xiandao walked out of the Lin Mansion, they were stopped by two supervisory censors.
I saw one of the supervisory censors saluting Lin Ze and saying, "I am congratulating you on the post of the censor, I have met Mr. Lin."
Lin Ze said indifferently: "Why did you stop me?"
He Ju said with a serious face: "We are ordered to wait here to monitor Mr. Lin's every move. If you don't leave the house, we will wait at the door. If you go out, we must follow you."
Lin Ze's eyes showed a dangerous look: "Fusu asked you to come?"
He Ju nodded and said: "Master Zhongcheng specifically stated that Master Lin is currently under suspension for investigation. In order to prevent you from absconding in fear of crime or destroying evidence, the two subordinates must keep a close eye on you."
Lin Ze narrowed his eyes slightly: "I don't remember that it is written in the Qin Code that the Yushitai has the right to monitor court officials in this way."
He Ju still said with a straight face: "The laws of the Qin Dynasty did not say that the Yushitai could not monitor the court officials. We think this order of Master Zhongcheng is very reasonable and reasonable. Master Wang, the censor, also agrees with this matter. Please ask Master Lin
Cooperate."
Lin Ze forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, snorted coldly, turned around and stepped into the Lin Mansion.
With two spies following him, Lin Ze had no intention of visiting the Jinyiwei stronghold. He might as well practice in the Lin Mansion with peace of mind.
Lin Ze thought to himself: Fusu was so stimulated by what he said yesterday that he specially sent two supervisory censors to blatantly monitor him. It seemed that he had to find something to do for Fusu.
Soon several horses left the Lin Mansion, and several personnel from the Intelligence Department were sent out by Lin Ze.
One of the directions to go is obviously Tingwei Mansion.
Half an hour later, the man returned to the Lin Mansion and handed a sealed letter to Lin Ze.
Lin Ze opened it and took a look, and immediately summoned several senior members of the Intelligence Department to explain the matter in detail.
…
At the censor's desk, the attendant looked at the time and reminded Fusu softly: "Young master, it's time to go back to the palace and rest."
Fusu, who was immersed in dealing with government affairs, seemed to be awakened and calmed down: "Has another day passed so quickly?"
Standing up from his seat, Fusu felt a little tired and couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that being an official is not easy. It's very tiring to deal with all the affairs in a day."
The attendant next to him said hurriedly: "Master, why are you not feeling well? Can you give me a massage?"
Fusu waved his hand and said: "No need, go back to the palace."
The attendant quickly led the way.
Fusu walked out of the censor's stage and was about to step onto the carriage when an old man suddenly ran out and shouted: "Is Mr. Fusu in front of you? The common people have something important to ask of you."
When Fusu heard the sound, he immediately turned around and said, "It's me, sir. What's important for me?"
I saw the old man wailing sadly: "Master Fusu, please make the decision for the common people. The common people will be grateful."
Fusu said quickly: "Don't be impatient, old man. If you have anything to do, tell me slowly." Then he said to the guard beside him: "Go and help him up."
Two guards came forward and helped the old man up, one on the left and the other on the right.
The old man burst into tears and told Fusu his tragic experience.
It turns out that this old man is a villager from a village in Wannian County on the outskirts of Chang'an City. The whole village has relied on farming to maintain its livelihood for generations, and its life is considered decent.
But a few days ago, a wealthy businessman suddenly appeared in the village and said he wanted to buy land at a high price.
However, the village is mostly made up of small farmers like old men who have been farming for generations. Naturally, no one would agree to sell the land that is more valuable than their own property and life.
But the wealthy businessman was not a good person. He actually thought of a way to forge a batch of land deeds and sued the Wannian County government to sue the old man and the whole village for occupying his fields.
After the Wannian County Magistrate learned about this, he immediately ordered people to arrest all the young men in Laohan Village and asked them to return their fields.
The old man and others were naturally dissatisfied and argued with the county magistrate one after another, but they were all beaten back.
Then the wealthy businessman came out and threatened the old, weak, women and children in the village. If they didn't sell their land to him, their husbands or sons would never come out.
The old, weak, women and children in the village had never experienced such a battle. They were repeatedly intimidated by wealthy businessmen and finally had to give in.
After Hao Shang obtained the land deed at a low price, Wannian County Magistrate immediately released him.
Only then did the people in the village realize that this wealthy businessman was in the same group as Wannian County Magistrate. Some people were naturally dissatisfied and wanted to go to Chang'an to file a complaint. However, they went to several yamen, but they were all rejected and nothing was gained.
Instead, Wannian County Magistrate learned of their complaint. The magistrate immediately repeated his old tricks and arrested the young men in the village, saying that they would be sent to Lingnan for mining.
When the old man was desperate, he received advice from an expert and found that Mr. Fusu was a good man in the world and would definitely make the decision for himself.
Only then did he block the road and cry out for injustice.
After hearing this, Fusu's face turned livid and he said angrily: "There is such collusion between officials and businessmen in the world to oppress the people. I will not stand by and watch. Don't worry, I will go to Chang'an Mansion to impeach this ten thousand year old county magistrate.
Let him lose his official position."
The old man thanked me profusely.
Fusu was also a popular person with thunder orders, so he immediately went straight to Chang'an Mansion with his guards and called out the Chang'an Mansion Order.
When the magistrate of Chang'an saw Fusu's arrival, he immediately saluted and said: "If you don't know that the young master is coming, and you miss him from afar to greet him, you are really guilty of death."
I heard Fusu say in a cold voice: "You deserve death, not because you didn't greet me, but because you neglected your duty."
The official of Chang'an Prefecture said in astonishment: "Why did you say this, Master?"
After Fusu directly told the old man's story, he said in a cold voice: "Such a scum has appeared among your subordinates. Why are you not derelict in your duty?"
The Chang'an Mansion Order nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty deserves to die, please rest assured. Your Majesty, I will investigate this matter thoroughly immediately. After finding out clearly, if it is true, I will definitely punish you severely."
Fusu said angrily: "What are you waiting for? Arrest the county magistrate first and release the villagers."
The Chang'an magistrate looked troubled and said, "Sir, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this. As far as I know, the Wannian County Magistrate has an unusual status and needs to be handled with caution."
Fusu snorted coldly: "What's unusual? The prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people. No matter who he is, he must be arrested first."
The magistrate of Chang'an said in a low voice: "The Wannian County Magistrate's surname is Feng, and he is a relative of the Shangdang Hou family. In addition to the Shangdang Hou family, the Feng family also has many officials in the court. If there is no evidence, they will not be dismissed.
It’s so easy to arrest people and convict them.”
Fusu gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you understand that I asked you to arrest someone? As the censor Zhongcheng, let alone a member of the Shangdang Hou tribe, even if he violates the laws of the Qin Dynasty, I will take care of him.
If you have anything to do, I will take care of you, just arrest them."
The governor of Chang'an had no choice but to be arrested.
After that, under Fusu's wholehearted supervision, it took three full days to complete the matter.
Magistrate Wannian confessed his crime and was sentenced to dismissal from office and exile.
The wealthy merchant also admitted that he bribed the county magistrate to obtain land, and was punished with hard labor and went to the north to build a city wall.
The old man and others successfully took back their fields.
However, this matter was leaked out for unknown reasons, and the entire city of Chang'an knew that Mr. Fusu was selfless and dedicated to making decisions for the people.
From then on, Fusu encountered countless drivers who stopped him every day and complained about their grievances. Some of them were just buying meat at the market. Without a scale, they came to Fusu to complain about their grievances.
However, Fusu never tired of this and felt that it was a great pleasure in his life to be able to redress the grievances of the people of Qin.
