Chapter 226 What is the situation

In order to supervise public officials more effectively and to better improve people's livelihood, Li Mo also decided to set up a modern organization for letters and visits to receive everyone's suggestions and criticisms at any time.

The illegal behavior of public officials can be reported to her in a timely manner.

However, given the current situation, the presence of this letter-and-visit agency may not be too high.

One is that people don't know what this petition organization does.

The second is, even if I know what I am doing, and I report the problem to you, will you privately retaliate against me because I complained about someone or something? Is my personal safety guaranteed?
The third is whether the people in the petition agency can stick to their original aspirations.

No matter what, set it up first, investigate it for a period of time, and gradually improve it later. I believe that the existence of this institution will more or less act as a deterrent to public officials. Before doing bad things, think about whether the consequences can be afforded by yourself .

The master raised his concerns: "My lord, who will be in charge of the letter and visit agency you mentioned?"

Indeed, if the person in the Petition Office is a relative or friend of someone in the yamen, and someone comes to complain, he turns around and sells the complainant.

Or, in the process, is there any possibility of perverting the law for personal gain, he sold the news, turned around and made a lot of money.

Song Min: "My lord, otherwise this person was invited from other places. He has no relatives and friends in Yunning County, and he will not be caught by others, let alone be afraid that he will sell the news to others."

Lin Ling nodded: "The most important thing is that this person must be reliable."

Zhang Zhongping: "Where can I find such a person?"

Zhou Xing'er: "My lord, I feel that people in this position must endure loneliness."

As soon as she finished speaking, all eyes were on her.

Zhou Xing'er was baffled by the look, and said in a jiffy, "Did I say something wrong?"

Everyone shook their heads: "No."

Li Mo nodded: "You are all right. This candidate must have correct views, have love in his heart, and must have a sense of responsibility. At the same time, he must not be afraid of power. One day as the prefect, people will not let people do evil in all places in Yunning County."

Master: "My lord, if everyone is afraid of revenge and dare not go to the petition agency, is there a better way?"

Li Mo thought for a while: "It's better to set up another mailbox for the prefect. This mailbox is locked, and only the official has the key. Everyone will inform the official of the major problems that cannot be solved by the letter. .”

Song Min: "But, not everyone can read."

This point is a bit troublesome. Most people are illiterate, so you can find someone to write it for you. However, in this case, it is quite heavenly to tell the world.

Li Mo: "Try both of them first. If you really encounter people who are afraid to go to the petition agency and can't read, you can increase the propaganda and let them come directly to the official."

Not everyone has the guts to face the prefect. Generally, those who encounter this kind of situation must have reached the point of desperation.

Before starting the work, the first thing is to recruit people.

After following Li Mo for so long, everyone is quite experienced.

Song Min is now the chief arrester of the government office, and Zhou Xinger's qualifications are not as good as the deputy steward.

"Look, everyone, the government office is recruiting people!"

"What people to recruit?"

"Recruiting yamen servants, both men and women are acceptable. The condition is that the three views are correct, and they can bear hardships and stand hard work. After entering the yamen as an errand, they must learn cultural knowledge."

"What? Both men and women are allowed. How is this possible? Can women also be servants?" Someone raised a question!
"What's wrong with the woman? Aren't you born by a woman?" A girl said angrily.

"That's right, what's wrong with women, can you exist without women? You didn't see the girls next to the prefect, they were so heroic and beautiful, I want to sign up too." A girl risked Xingxing looked at Lin Ling, Zhou Xing'er and others standing next to Li Mo, she also wanted to enter the yamen!

A man said disdainfully: "It's up to you? Cut it, forget it."

"What do you mean?" The girl was very unconvinced, and aggressively stepped forward to hit someone.

The man had a sarcastic look on his face: "I don't even understand the literal meaning. I still want to be a government servant. Hurry up and go home and embroider!"

The girl stretched her muscles and said, "Do you want to fight?"

"Grandma, I thought I was afraid of you, so I just hit him." The man rolled up his sleeves, and his fighting posture was already set.

"Chen Ergou, hurry up and beat this bitch up, it's too arrogant." Someone urged them, wishing for the two of them to fight.

"Chen Ergou, don't you know that Xiaoying is a stone girl with a radius of tens of miles? You still dare to provoke her, be careful that she asks you to marry her."

"Who are you talking about, bastard?" Xiaoying became angry, and hated people calling her a stone girl the most. Although she didn't care much, it still hurt people in full view.

Xiaoying is 21 years old this year. People in ancient times got married relatively early. She should be the mother of several children at her age.

It's just that someone spread the news that she is a stone girl, so she hasn't married yet!
The parents were heartbroken by this, but fortunately, none of the brothers and sisters-in-law disliked her, saying that although the family was poor, they could still support her for a lifetime. This is a big loving family, and only then can Xiaoying develop a bold and forthright character.

Xiaoying's personality is the same as Lin Ling's. She is a woman, carefree. She thinks that if she can't get married, she can't get married. It doesn't matter. This world doesn't mean that you can't live without a man.

"Just talk about what's wrong with you? Can you beat some of our buddies?"

It seemed that a fight was about to start, and it was several men beating a woman.

"What's the situation?" Seeing that something was wrong here, Lin Ling hurried over.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Several big men saw Lin Ling's cowardice and joked. It was at the gate of this yamen that day that this girl picked up a whip and whipped people without blinking. It's a pity that those The person flashed too fast and missed it.

Xiaoying looked at Lin Ling enviously: "Master, oh, girl, oh, no!"

Xiaoying herself is confused, she is usually called poor man, but that is a man, but now she is a woman, what should she call her?

Lin Ling chuckled: "Just call me Manager Lin!"

Xiaoying exclaimed: "Are you in charge?"

Lin Ling spread her hands: "What? Can't women be in charge?"

Xiaoying: "No, I want to ask, on my terms, can I enter the yamen?"

Lin Ling: "Yes, why not, as long as you can bear hardships and stand hard work, you can come in."

Xiaoying nodded sharply: "I can bear hardships and stand hard work, I can do anything."

Lin Ling: "If that's the case, then follow me in and register."

Xiaoying entered the Yamen under the envious eyes of everyone, this time, it caused a thousand waves!
Even people like Xiaoying can enter the yamen, so aren't they even better?
So everyone signed up enthusiastically, for fear that they would be a step too late and miss the opportunity.

...

Recruitment is in full swing!

Li Mo was not idle either, so he took advantage of this time to visit various villages!

The first stop, I chose the nearest Longqing County.

This county is the closest to Songjiang County, and the magistrate of this county was the most noisy and beaten the most, and he is still in prison in Songjiang County.

Liang Xu frowned all the way: "Master Li, this place is too poor."

He thought that Songjiang County was already poor enough, but in comparison, Songjiang County was on more than one level.

They are now in Qingshi Village in Longqing County.

Li Mo didn't like crowding around when she went out, so she was far away from the capital at the moment, so I don't think it would be too dangerous, so only she and Liang Xu came out.

Qingshi Village is a village backed by a mountain. There are not many people in the village, and their lives are poor. Fortunately, there is a big mountain to enjoy a bite of food, so that people will not starve to death.

Li Mo had only been to the county seat of Longqing County before, and this was the first time he had visited this village, and it was the most remote village in Longqing County.

Looking at the past, it was very depressed. If I didn't see a family's chimney smoking, I would have thought I was in the wrong place.

I used to feel that Songjiang County was poor enough, but I didn't expect it to be even poorer here.

Liang Xu: "My lord, where do we start to investigate?"

Li Mo: "Go to the village chief first."

I don't know where the village head's home is, so I can only ask for directions.

Who knows, I didn't meet anyone on the road.

It's not that there are no people in the village, but that they all went to a family in the center of the village.

The people who came and went also rarely changed into slightly better clothes. Even so, quite a few people still had patches on their clothes, and most of these people were family members.

If you come to eat such a meal, you have to bring a gift of at least ten copper coins, and you can buy a lot of pork alone. If you don’t eat enough, how can you afford the gift money!

The roof of this family has turned black, showing signs of being eaten by insects, and the walls are covered with moss. As for the feet, the ground is covered with mud and water, which was accidentally spilled when the water was served just now. .

When it comes to getting married, one should be happy.

However, it's really not something that can make you happy. The other party is the son of a rich family in the county, but no matter how good the family background is, it can't hold this person to death.

It is said that Mr. Zhao is suffering from tuberculosis, and there is no cure for it. Seeing that there is too much breath out and less breath in, Mr. Zhao is sad in his heart. He wants to wish his son a happy fortune, and find a fortune teller to tell his fortune. Luo Juan is the only one who matches his horoscope. of.

Because Mr. Zhao's son can't wait long, the marriage was done in a hurry. It was only finalized last night, and he was going to get married this morning.

Luo Juan's stepmother, Mrs. Cai, took a lot of gift money, so she didn't care that Luo Juan's mother was sick in bed, and that sick ghost died early and was reborn early.

Marriage is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. She is Luo Juan's stepmother, so she naturally has the right to be the master.

The fat matchmaker put on makeup on Luo Juan's face, but she couldn't see any beauty on her thin face.

When changing clothes, the arm that was accidentally exposed was also covered with blue and purple marks, and it seemed that he had been beaten a lot.

The wedding ceremony was hasty, and the matchmaker had several jobs. At this time, she was as busy as a spinning top. Seeing that the makeup was almost done, she went out to find out if the wedding party was here.

Luo Juan is a poor girl. She is 16 years old. When she was ten years old, her father fell ill and left, leaving her and her mother Jin to depend on each other.

Originally, no matter how hard the mother and daughter worked, they could support themselves.

However, under the heavy longing and hard work, mother Jin's body collapsed, and she had no money for medical treatment. She could only lie on the bed, unable to do anything. Everything was on Luo Juan's body. home, shed tears all day long.

She really wanted to die, but she couldn't let go of her only daughter.

The stepmother, Mrs. Cai, wanted to sell Luo Juan wholeheartedly, but Luo Juan was too thin, and the price was very low. Mrs. Cai thought it was not worth it, so she dragged it off until now.

As a grandfather, Luo Tian never cared about the life and death of the mother and daughter.

Luo Juan was not a cowardly girl, she dared to resist, but she was defeated by four hands with both fists, and was beaten even more cruelly by her stepmother and uncles.

She wanted to leave here with her mother even more, but where could they go if they were penniless?

"The sedan chair is here!" The matchmaker squeezed her bloated body and came in. Looking at the dark-faced Luo Juan, she felt a bit of contempt in her heart. Even if Mr. Zhao recovered this time, the girl might not It might really be the young lady of the Zhao family!
"Grandmother, I won't marry, even if I'm beaten to death, I won't marry anyone." Luo Juan wouldn't get on the sedan chair even if she died. This stepmother went too far. She was asked to marry Mr. Zhao without her consent.

It is said that it is a marriage, but in fact it is no different from buying Luo Juan with 30 taels of silver. How can it be treated the same as a serious young lady?
Mrs. Cai was used to domineering at home, Luo Juan dared to say no to marry at this time, she was looking for death, she sternly reprimanded: "You lose money, see if I don't kill you." She was about to hit someone with her hand.

"Grandma Cai, stop beating. Look at her body is covered with injuries. If today's joy is spoiled, Mr. Zhao's family will not be easy to talk to!" The fat matchmaker snorted coldly.

Only then did Mrs. Cai withdraw her hand in embarrassment. She was planning to call her sons in to deal with Luo Juan and make her be more honest.

At this time, a few people dressed like rough maids had already entered the room, and they were from the Zhao family.

Because Luo Juan refused to obey, several women dragged and dragged Luo Juan out of the house with all their strength, and a redwood sedan chair with a round roof was parked in the yard.

Mrs. Cai was standing beside the bridal sedan chair, reaching out her hand to touch it, grinning stupidly, her face was covered with flour, and it would fall off when she moved, like a ghost, disgusting.

She doesn't have money to buy makeup, so she wants to use the makeup that the matchmaker brought, but the matchmaker is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so she won't use it for her, it's a good idea.

So she gritted her teeth and bought white noodles, and touched her face twice. At this time, she still had a big red flower made of red paper on her head.

But now I have money, 30 taels of silver, it's all hers.

Humming a ditty, touching the sedan chair while stopping people who came to the yard to attend the wedding, begging for gift money!

She didn't care about Luo Juan's life, anyway, she had already received the money for the bride price.

When everyone arrived in the yard and saw the things on the tattered tables, their hearts became even colder.

Everyone thought that today Luo Juan married a rich man in the city, and the family could at least prepare some good meals, but there were only a few plates on the table, and there were more or less gaps in the plates.

There is a clear water cabbage, a white radish, a boiled tofu, and a plate, which is black and I don't know what it is. The last one is a bit meaty. It is scrambled eggs with leeks, more leeks and less eggs.

Seeing the dishes on this table, everyone couldn't be more angry. There will be red and white affairs in every family, and everyone will come and go, but this is not too much.

Some people were dissatisfied and yelled: "I said Aunt Cai, aren't you cheating on our money? Give us back the money!"

Granny Cai pinched her waist with both hands, opened her bloody mouth painted with red paper, and yelled loudly: "You all stop, Luo Juan will be a rich woman in the future, how much money she wants..."

At this moment, a heart-piercing female voice sounded: "Juan'er, my miserable Juan'er!"

"Mother!" Luo Juan, who was in the sedan chair, wanted to get down desperately, but was firmly held down by the matchmaker.

Mrs. Cai looked back and said, "It's so fucking bad luck, why did you wake up at this time."

Afraid that Mrs. Jin would disagree, Mrs. Cai pretended to boil a bowl of medicine early in the morning, saying that she was feeling sorry for her, and specially went to the city to grab the medicine for her, and it would cure her illness after drinking it.

Jin's nature is kind, she didn't expect this step-mother-in-law to be so vicious, it's not a cure, but a drug to make her unconscious, just because she is afraid that she will cause trouble.

Mrs. Cai originally wanted to buy poison, but the doctor at the pharmacy was a conscientious person, and asked her repeatedly what poison to buy and what to use it for.

Granny Cai felt guilty at this time, and took some tranquilizing medicine, but the dose was too large, after Jin took it, she was still groggy, and fell asleep after a while.

Jin crawled out of the room and glared at the matchmaker angrily: "Let go of my daughter."

As a mother, you are strong. Although Jin is ill, her heart to protect her daughter has not changed!

The matchmaker snorted coldly: "After taking the Zhao family's money, I still want to return it. It's a dream!"

Luo Juan finally broke free from the sedan chair: "I will not marry, even if I am killed."

It was impossible for Mrs. Cai to let the money fly away, so she called her sons in and said viciously, "Tie Luo Juan up and gag her, as long as she doesn't die."

How could Luo Juan obediently let them tie her up and ran out desperately.

But the little girl, how could she outrun a few young and strong uncles, and she was quickly caught.

An uncle came over with a slap: "Stinky girl, let's see if you dare to run away."

Luo Juan staggered from the beating, and almost fell to the ground, with blood dripping from the corner of her mouth.

Luo Juan looked at Village Chief Luo not far away, and begged for help: "Village Chief, help me!"

Village Chief Luo sighed: "This is a housework, and I can't do anything about it."

Poor little girl, she was caught back in the sedan chair soon!

Jin yelled while crawling: "Juan'er, come and save my poor child."

Mrs. Cai originally had 30 taels of silver, and she was very happy in her heart. Now she was furious, and kicked over: "Let you shout, let you yell, Luo Juan is here to enjoy the blessing, what else are you dissatisfied with?"I don't know good from bad!Pooh! "

The villagers just watched Jin being beaten. To put it bluntly, it was all a family matter, and they didn't know how to persuade him.

A woman couldn't see it, so she came over and helped Mrs. Jin up: "Aunt Cai, don't beat me up. If you beat someone up again, you'll be gone!"

Granny Cai spat out, "I want you to mind your own business."

Several daughters-in-law came over: "Mother, this sister-in-law is really, she doesn't know the blessings in the blessing, she looks dejected!"

Jin: "If I don't leave Juan'er today, I will hang myself here."

Mrs. Cai slapped her over, "Then you should die quickly."

How could Luo Juan watch her mother being beaten, struggling to get down: "Let go of my mother."

The more Mrs. Cai looked, the more angry she became. Just as she was about to slap her again, she suddenly screamed in pain: "Ah!"

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" The sons ran over in fright.

I saw a dagger stuck in Mrs. Cai's hand, and her palm had been pierced!
 Babies, remember the monthly pass, love you
