Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2936 The ancients were not proud officials, brothers are not sympathetic

It's for profit.

When suing was prevalent, the emperor and officials didn't care whether it was false accusation or not. Anyway, they just needed to get money, so false accusation prevailed.

But at the moment, it is a little different. Reporting this matter is only limited to these "criminals" who have been arrested. The only benefit they can get is to reduce their guilt. They can only prove that they are not the person in charge. Perhaps the accomplice position of beheading is not needed.

Because of fear of large-scale false accusations, rejecting all the first reports is undoubtedly the favorite thing of those corrupt scholars or corrupt officials.

Instead of solving the problem, solve the person who made the first report.

Simple and easy, everything is no problem.

Moreover, the most important point of the current report is that many people may not realize that the most important thing about Zhang Shiping's last decree on reduction or exemption is not the reduction or exemption, nor the profit, but "the people sue the government"!
Note that the "min" here is a businessman who is listed as one of the four peoples, or even a pariah who has been excluded from the basic rights of the people and deprived of part of his citizenship rights alongside the son-in-law and criminals, not the "poetry-read" scholar"!
The sergeant sued the officer, even if he won, there was nothing to say.Strictly speaking, scholars are no longer civilians, and they have already stepped on the territory of officials.

But "people suing officials" is different.

Those who have the right to coerce or oppress people are often those in authority.

In the face of this kind of oppression, apart from scolding a few times, it is actually difficult for the fart people to make any effective resistance correspondingly.

After all, they are a mob, so don't care how much melamine is involved, and don't care whether the loyal family has a feud with the Cha family, anyway, I will forget it after a while, and the short videos in the entertainment industry are more fragrant.

However, at the moment in Wancheng, it may be a coincidence, or it may be a last resort. Under the joint action of many factors, as one of the four peoples, a businessman has a law that can report officials or related criminals to reduce his guilt. !
Although it is not a fixed iron law, it has also taken a solid step towards the direction of "people suing officials".

Reporting and reporting is also a kind of "report".

The officials involved were quickly dragged out.

Panicked and lost his bearings.

After the official hats and robes were taken off, many people, not only businessmen, but even ordinary people who secretly hid at home and peeked through the cracks in doors and windows, couldn't help expressing almost the same emotion...

It turns out that this is the official...

One mouth and two nostrils...

Also shed tears, shit, and piss...

I will kowtow and howl...

Puff Chi, one knife will also kill you...

Wancheng officials originally had a sense of sacredness in the hearts of the people, but gradually disappeared.

Ordinary people find that these officials usually say what they represent, which seems to be very aggressive, but in fact they represent nothing.When there are no officials to protect each other, the officials are as fragile as a layer of soap bubbles. If they are exposed to the sun casually, they will burst with a bang.

That's right, the most important thing about whether you can sue successfully is not the "people" and "success", but whether there is "official protection", or "officials and officials conceal each other".

The concealment of officials and officials developed from the concealment of relatives.

Hiding relatives seems to be to protect the family relationship, but in fact, since the Zhou Dynasty began to use the patriarchal system to maintain the blood relationship and implement the enfeoffment system, this law has become a back door for local officials and rural gentry.

Come whenever you want, leave whenever you want, and when you are unhappy, you tie the law, the serious-looking female prosecutor, and change the pattern... For example, various study materials of a certain woman...

In the Han Dynasty, this article of concealment between relatives was written into the law, and the later feudal dynasties also changed from "concealment between relatives" to "XX mutual concealment". The law itself has begun to hide itself.

The three chapters of the founding law of the Han Dynasty are so simple and easy to understand!

But in the future, the law will become more and more complicated, and various legal terms that violate the daily habits of society will be produced, such as minor injuries and minor injuries, which have been recognized by ordinary people for decades. contradicts the concept.Hey, all the lawmen know about it, but they don't change it...

What can I do?

In the late feudal dynasty, every eaves and every village belonged to the scope of "concealment".This custom has been passed down from generation to generation, so that in some backward and marginal mountain villages in later generations, the buying and selling of people is still "invisible".

This is the biggest obstacle for "the people to sue the officials", and once Huang Zhong and Pang Shanmin are unwilling to be "hidden" by these Wancheng officials, in Wancheng, these Wancheng officials will naturally lose their pride. For a solid case.

In the feudal dynasties of ancient China, there was no such thing as "the people suing the officials".

Although apparently in the feudal dynasty, the emperor even adopted an encouraging attitude towards "people suing the officials" in order to curb the bureaucrats' dominance in the local area. Even if the crime is severely punished, it is true that during the Zhu Yuanzhang period, someone successfully sued the officials with a big edict, but if you look carefully, it is a "scholar" who sued the officials, and there is still a long distance from the "people".

After all, "people" don't even understand the law, so how do they know what to sue?
How do I sue again?
How much process does it take and how much time does it take?
Is the cost and gain worth "taking a breath"?
In many cases, if I was alone, I would have gambled with this breath, but I turned around and looked at my family...

It’s like the administrative reconsideration in capitalist countries where many people in later generations claim to be free, but how many people really understand the process and can spend a lot of time and energy leaving their jobs to do this administrative reconsideration?After all, they are all working hours, the people have to go to work, and the officials in charge of administrative reconsideration also go to work, even later than the common people go to work and leave work earlier. The price of reconsideration is really too high. The way of suing the officials looks beautiful, but in fact it is very bad.

Those who deal with the incident of "people suing officials" are often only officials. The emperor is busy with other things most of the time, and has no time to take care of these "little things"...

Therefore, in many cases, "the people sue the officials" is just a joke, a joke that allows the officials to watch ordinary people struggling in the quagmire to gain a sense of entertainment.

However, whether it is the system of inspectors and envoys sent by the emperor, or the system of supervising governors and censors, they are often mere formalities, and even themselves participate in various corruptions.In order to ensure the stability of the rule, the rulers of ancient China rectified the administration of officials and cracked down on corruption. In fact, they also gave the people a channel to report officials.However, due to the corruption of the imperial court and the mutual protection of officials and officials, most of the channels for "people suing officials" are easily blocked, so that people often have nowhere to ask.

Or even if they sue, they often end up with nothing, and when the public opinion passes, the officials just gritted their teeth and said, "This trend will not last forever", and they just don't mention people across provinces.

It takes not only courage but also life to sue officials.

Even with the blood of innocent people...

But now in Wancheng, there seemed to be some strange changes.

This change scares some people.

When Huang Zhong started arresting merchants in Wancheng, Pang Youwen didn't pay much attention at first.

Pang Youwen is a relative of Pang Shanmin. According to his seniority, he is still a cousin of Pang Shanmin's five clothes. To be close to three points.

It was precisely because of this that Pang Youwen didn't care at all at the beginning.

What is the death of a few merchants?
Even if the dying wailing came over, it was just the birds chirping outside the window.

But the later changes began to make Pang Youwen uneasy. His cousin Pang Shanmin actually allowed those untouchables, merchants who were as low as their son-in-law and prisoner, to report him!

This is impossible!

This is simply an insult to him!
First, the servants came to report in a hurry, saying that someone had indeed reported it to him, and then Pang Youwen sent someone to find Pang Shanmin, but Pang Shanmin refused and did not meet him...

After knowing this, Pang Youwen felt a chill in his heart.

"If you engage in it continuously, you will suffer! A person standing beside Pang Youwen said, "Now that the door is full of murderous intentions, is it possible that you want to stretch your head and be killed?" ! 』

"No!no no no! 』Pang Youwen felt that the names of those merchants were worth nothing, but his own life was extremely precious, how could he waste it easily? "What is the plan now?What's the best way? !Hurry up! 』

"Do it...Since Pang Wancheng has already mobilized his murderous intentions, if he does, he still does nothing," said the man in a low voice, not loudly, but it made Pang Youwen tremble in fright, "It must be his life!" 』

"No, it won't be like that! ”Pang Youwen subconsciously avoided reality, “Cousin won’t be like this, won’t…”

"If it wasn't for Pang Wancheng's consent," the man directly burst Pang Youwen's hope bubble, "Who would do it, who has the guts..."

"My lord! ”There are servants crawling and crawling from the hall, looking flustered, “General Huang has sent some soldiers to take the Lord!” 』

"Bold!bold!stop them! Pang Youwen was furious, "How dare he?" !Mr. Zhu, now... what should we do now? 』

Mr. Zhu, naturally his surname is Zhu and his first name is Ye.

Zhu Ye showed a somewhat cruel smile...

Zhu is the Zhu of Wancheng.

It is also the Nanyang Zhu family.

The Nanyang Zhu family is not well-known.Like most of the Nanyang gentry, they are not well-known at the moment.

Nanyang in the Eastern Han Dynasty, is there no big aristocratic family?
Of course there are, after all, Nanyang is the hometown of Emperor Guangwu, and he was the earliest follower of Guangwu when he started his army.

When Liu Xiu raised his army, he was accompanied by the Li Tong family and the Deng Chen family from Nanyang, and when Guangwu bicycles settled in Hebei, Deng Yu, Wu Han, and Cen Peng from the Nanyang faction gathered under his command.During the war in the four directions, Deng Yu conquered Guanzhong, came to She to stabilize Longyou, and Wu Han conquered Gongsunshu, all of whom were meritorious.

Later in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nanyang people also occupied an absolute advantage. Among the 28 generals in Yuntai, 13 were from Nanyang; the three founding fathers of Guangwu: Deng Yu was the Great Situ, Li Tong was the Sikong, and Wu Han was the Great Sima , all from Nanyang.

It is precisely because of this that Guangwu started to deal with the Nanyang people after his buttocks were firmly seated.However, the effect was not good. Until the Hehuan period, the people of Nanyang finally made a big mistake and made continuous wrong bets...

During the period of Emperor He, the Yin family involved witchcraft, and used the technique of wishing and cursing to curse Deng Sui, and was almost wiped out. After the death of the empress dowager Deng Sui, the Nanyang Deng family was almost uprooted, and the minorities attached themselves to it. General Liang Ji was spared, and it was this Liang Ji who dragged a group of subsequent Nanyang gentry children into the abyss.

Zhu Mu of the Zhu family in Wancheng, Nanyang, was as famous as Li Ying in Yingchuan and Chen Fan in Runan.At that time, people put the three of them side by side, calling them Mr. Li Fu of Yingchuan, who was like a jade mountain, and then praised Chen Zhongju of Runan, who was like a thousand-mile horse.It's just that after the imperial student Yique wrote the letter, Emperor Huan himself finally took power by eliminating the Liang family, so he was extremely sensitive to the faction of these scholars and powerful families. This behavior finally led to the first disaster of party imprisonment.

At that time, because Zhu Mu was dead, the Nanyang scholars lost their leaders, and all the titles and titles were obtained by the Yingchuan and Runan scholars, and the Nanyang scholars did not get any political capital...

In history, the last bet of the Nanyang gentry also failed.Maybe it's because of being the emperor's hometown, or maybe it's because Liu Bei represents the Liu family's royal blood that is most likely to qualify in the Eastern Han Dynasty?So almost all of them chose Liu Bei.

The result is predictable.

After the rise of hussars, Liu Bei was not as majestic as in the historical version, nor did he hold the blood edict of the Han family, and Lao Cao was naturally not as domineering as in history, revealing his ambition to become king and public , at least on the surface, he still gave Han Emperor enough respect, and married his daughter to Han Emperor as his wife. Therefore, these turtles in Nanyang Emperor Township will naturally go to the ball, and they will habitually support Han Emperor without discussion .

Among the several surnames in Nanyang, the Deng family and the Yin family were basically wiped out due to the wrong bet by their relatives. Cen Peng's family, generally relying on the inheritance of titles, are not promising talents. Basically, they are soy sauce all the way to rely on their laurels. They have no classics, no prominent officials, no political influence...

Lai Shi fled to Sichuan and Sichuan early, but once again stood in the wrong team, and did not make a name for himself.The Fan family defected to Cao Cao and worked in Yanzhou, but the Zhu family, that is, Zhu Ye, felt that it was boring to start as a small official, and he couldn't compete with the Yuzhou Gang and Jizhou faction, so he simply stayed in Wancheng Look for opportunities.

Now, it seems, it's time to bet again.Is it just the practice of Nanyang gentry betting...

It seems that every bet must lose.

It's just that in a casino, everyone feels that they should be the winner.

Pang Youwen hurriedly walked along the street to the government office, and behind him were followed by thirty or forty confidantes, who were also desperadoes.Pang Youwen looked back as he walked forward. He only hoped to rush to the government office before Huang Zhong returned to the defense, control Pang Shanmin, and then dedicate Wancheng to Cao Cao in exchange for meritorious service!

Since Pang Shanmin has already disregarded brotherhood, then he is not benevolent, so naturally I can be unrighteous!

Thinking of what he hated, Pang Youwen couldn't help shouting, either to boost the morale of his subordinates, or as if to encourage himself, "Show some strength!"As long as the government office is robbed, the whole city will be in chaos!I am waiting for the reinforcements outside the city, and when Cao's army arrives at the city, even Huang Zhong's generation will have nothing to do!You have also seen that the soldiers in the city are all paying attention to Shifang, and this side is emptiness!This is an opportunity, a great opportunity for you and me to be rich! 』

There was nothing wrong with what Pang Youwen said. The streets along the way were empty, and there was no one blocking them.

Looks like a really good opportunity.

Wasn't the reason why Pang Youwen played tricks among the merchants in Wancheng because someone paid a lot of money to buy them?And in the vicinity of Wancheng, is there any big family that can afford a big price?Therefore, the contact between Cao and Pang Youwen is not a matter of a day or two.All these things were accumulated in Pang Youwen's heart, and at this moment today, they were all detonated!
Huang Zhong is indeed extremely sharp, but as long as they can take down Pang Shanmin, delay a little bit of time, and delay until Cao Jun gets the news and rushes to the city, then everything will be done!
Gambling, gambling money is a kind of gambling, gambling life is also a kind of gambling.

What is a desperado, that is, as long as there is a chance, they dare to risk their lives!
Although everyone knew that Huang Zhong was extremely sharp, but right now Huang Zhong was near the south city wall of the Xiacheng District, and the group of them had already rushed to the Beicheng District. Seeing the Wancheng government office in front of them, how could there be anything else to say?So they responded one after another, expressing that they would advance and retreat together with Pang Youwen, and share prosperity.

"Brother Deng! Pang Youwen said anxiously, "When we arrive at the government office, I will try my best to lure the guards away, but it may not be possible. Then it will be up to Brother Deng!" 』

In addition to staying at home to stop Huang Zhong's soldiers and doing other "consultant" Zhu Ye, in terms of force, Nanyang Deng Long has now become Pang Youwen's reliance.Deng Long originally served as a general under Liu Biao, and later surrendered to Cao Cao with Liu Cong, and later became a "retirement man", and was met by Pang Youwen in Xinye...

When it comes to martial arts, Deng Long is naturally inferior to Huang Zhong, but at the moment, he can only believe that Deng Long's force is enough to suppress the guards in the government office.As long as he can successfully break into the government office and capture Pang Shanmin, Huang Zhong will surely throw his hands at him... well, he has some scruples, anyway, that's what he meant, and everything will be fine if he drags Cao Jun to kill him!

It didn't take long for Pang Youwen and others to turn around the intersection, and it suddenly became clear to them that the Wancheng government office lay in front of them.The surrounding streets are empty and empty, and the usual scene of people coming and going is gone, every house is closed, and the streets are deserted and empty.Therefore, when Pang Youwen and others appeared, they attracted the attention of the soldiers guarding the government office.

The Wancheng government office can be regarded as a small city within a city. The main entrance is wide, surrounded by rammed earth walls, about the height of two people, and covered with blue tiles, which is quite majestic.When the guards near the main gate saw Pang Youwen and others coming, they yelled loudly to stop them.

Pang Youwen held back his panic, held up the official seal representing Wancheng's work, and shouted loudly: "It's Pang Youwen!There are thieves making trouble in the city!Come here to protect the envoy! 』

"Trouble? 』The guard was taken aback.

And at this moment, somewhere in the city, there was a big black smoke rising up!

There were also some fires that broke out inexplicably, causing the people to shout loudly, and there was a sudden chaos!
While hesitating, Pang Youwen had brought people closer.

The guard looked at the official seal in Pang Youwen's hand. Although he felt something was wrong in his heart, he habitually saluted and asked, "This is..."

Pang Youwen gasped for a while, his face changed, and he shouted: "Do it!" 』
