Ming politicians

() The county government office is bustling.

The gate of the county government office was opened. Surprisingly, the door of ceremony inside was also opened. The common people standing outside were afraid to go in, but the county magistrate Lu Tianming said at the gate of the county government office, please Everyone go in, the county magistrate is going to interrogate these rascals who are causing trouble, as well as the yamen servants who have not fulfilled their duties.

The crowd was aroused, and the common people poured into the county government office like a tide, and passed through the Yimen.

You know, many of them would never be able to enter the lobby through the main gate of Yimen in their entire lives.

Many people were bullied by rascals, and the government servants were even more excessive. They asked for money and food.

The yard in front of the lobby was full of ordinary people, and everyone was discussing and excited. There were so many people that the corridor was full of ordinary people.

They still couldn't believe it, could it be said that the new magistrate could slap the servants in the yamen?

"Father, tell me, what's the matter, is the magistrate going to teach those officials a lesson..."

"Shut up, do you also want to kneel in the lobby, just watch..."

"Brother, what do you think is wrong with this? I think it's fake..."

"Say a few words, and you'll know when you look at it..."

There were discussions all around, and the yard in front of the lobby had become a hornet's nest. The strange thing was that the sergeants guarding the surrounding area did not interfere with everyone's discussions.

"Shut up, don't talk anymore, the county magistrate is here."

Liu Zhongji followed behind Su Tiancheng, a little dazed, and he hasn't reacted yet.

When Su Tiancheng went to the county government office, he went directly to the mansion. At this time, it is definitely inappropriate to follow him to the county government office. There is nothing he can do, his status is embarrassing, so he can only stay in the mansion for a while to see what he can do. whats the matter.

But only a day later, he arrived at the county government office, and got a shocking news that Su Tiancheng wanted to recommend him as the history of Jiangning county.

This is really a dream.

Although Dian Shi has not entered the mainstream, he is already an official of the imperial court, and his status is completely different from that of officials and officials. My father has worked hard all his life, but he is only a Dian Shi, but he will soon become a Dian Shi.

Doing classic history will not affect the rural examination at all, and you can receive some care, after all, you are an official ordered by the imperial court.

When he was in the second hall, Su Tiancheng became extremely serious and told him that he must devote himself to doing things, otherwise he would be criticized and impeached as well. Personal relationships are personal relationships, and he must follow the rules when working.

Liu Zhongji nodded numbly, and after meeting Lu Tianming and Qu Qingze, he followed to the lobby. Su Tiancheng arrived in Jiangning County, and it was the first time he was promoted to trial, and it was during the busy farming season.

Su Tiancheng walked outside the lobby, followed by Lu Tianming, Qu Qingze and Liu Zhongji.

He cupped his fists and spoke to the crowd of common people.

"I came to Jiangning County, and I earnestly ask for the support of all my fathers and folks. Today, I am promoted to trial the case to clean up those scum in the yamen. They are fish and meat. They do bad things and ruin the image of the county. I don't tolerate this kind of situation. After today's promotion to the court, if there are still government servants who bully the people in the future, you can file a complaint. This is Liu Dianshi, who is temporarily acting as Dianshi. If you are bullied, go directly to Liu Dianshi, the county government. It will definitely be dealt with fairly.”

The black crowd was silent, and soon, the people in front knelt down, followed by those behind.

Su Tiancheng sighed and clasped his fists again.

"Get up, everyone, the judge is going to try the case."

The first ones to be brought up were the troublemakers. These gangsters were beaten to the point of death. When they saw the sergeant who escorted them, they trembled all over. The reason for the incident, and the past collusion, the affairs of the fish and meat people, all explained.

In the lobby, kneeling full of hooligans, almost all of them agreed.

Hearing what they said, Liu Zhongji's reaction was the biggest, he gritted his teeth with hatred, his face turned red and then white, Lu Tianming's face had a trace of shame, Su Tiancheng's and Qu Qingze's faces didn't have much reaction.

Soon, more than a dozen yamen servants were escorted up.

Among the crowd, there were bursts of whispered discussions. These yamen servants usually ran wild in the countryside. At this time, they were escorted to the lobby with scars. They knelt obediently and their bodies were still shaking.

Everyone looked relieved of course.

The yamen servants also confessed honestly, including all the bad things they had done before. During their confession, the officials of the sixth house and some of the officials were dragged out.

Next, some officials and officials also knelt on the lobby.

Among the crowd, there was no sound at all. If we were talking about the trial of yamen servants, these people were temporary workers of the government anyway, and they would be dealt with as soon as they were dealt with. However, the clerks and pawns had different identities.

Everyone seems to understand something, this is a master Qingtian, the people of Jiangning County are about to live a good life.

Two hours in a row passed, and the trial was almost over.

Su Tiancheng retreated to the second hall.

For such a case, the verdict must be pronounced in court, otherwise the common people feel uncomfortable and afraid, afraid that the government will make a show.

But how to judge, formed two different opinions.

Liu Zhongji, acting as the representative of the history, was the most excited. His opinion must be severely punished, and many people must be killed, including some government servants who committed crimes. Seeing the excited Liu Zhongji, Su Tiancheng seemed to see the angry youth after a few years.

Liu Zhongji's opinion is definitely not advisable.

Lu Tianming's opinions are mainly about punishment and education, and he does not advocate murder.

This kind of opinion is also unacceptable. As the saying goes, kill one to warn a hundred. For those bullies and gangsters who do evil, you must kill a few, and you must kill some government servants who work for tigers. Otherwise, the common people will not believe it and feel uneasy. , As for the officials and officials, of course they must be punished, if they are killed, they should not be killed, after all, they have collected some money.

Qu Qingze remained silent.

He admired Su Tiancheng, he did such a good job, the county government has undergone a major change, all the officials, pawns, book offices, including government servants, whoever dares to act recklessly or disobedient, is courting death.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he consolidated his strength and won the support of the common people. Only Su Tiancheng could think of such a way, especially when Ma Jiashou was handed over to Ma Jiagan. The imperial court ordered the officials to go to the lobby, and the government's face was also lost. Moreover, Ma Jiagan would definitely support Jiangning County's affairs in the future.

Kill three birds with one stone.

Qu Qingze would not express his opinion easily, he had already guessed what Su Tiancheng was thinking.

"Master Qu, Lord Lu and Liu Dianshi have all expressed their opinions. What do you think? Let's hear it."

"The lower official's opinion is to kill one as an example and punish the chief culprit, but it should not be too large, so as not to cause panic. As for those followers, give them a lesson with a stick so that they will not cause trouble in the future. You can kill a few, but as for the officials and pawns, the lower officials see it as admonishment, but they can no longer continue to work in the county government."

Su Tiancheng had a smile on his face.

"Well, what Master Qu said is reasonable, and I think so too. I don't know what Master Lu and Liu Dianshi think."

Qu Qingze's opinion is a compromise opinion.

Lu Tianming was very smart, and found that Su Tiancheng agreed with this opinion, so he kept saying yes, fully agreeing, and Liu Zhongji reluctantly agreed.

Seeing Liu Zhongji's attitude, Su Tiancheng smiled wryly. It seems that Liu Zhongji still needs to sharpen. The world cannot be peaceful, nor can it be completely innocent. Black and white cannot be so clear.

After half an hour, which ones should be killed, which ones should be rode, and which ones should be reprimanded.What should be dismissed has been decided.

Qu Qingze followed Su Tiancheng into the previous thoughts.

"My lord, those who are determined to beheaded, let them not be able to speak, understand?"

"The next official understands, so let's do it."

Seeing Qu Qingze leave in a hurry, Su Tiancheng smiled.

Those rascals who are going to be beheaded, including the yamen servants, will definitely yell when they know the result. If Ma Jiashou is implicated, it will not end well. It can only make them unable to speak. As for clinging to their lives A person who is a good person will definitely not talk too much, otherwise the death will be even worse.

Of course, he has already decided on the next move. The county government is short of money, and many things are difficult to do. Since there is such an opportunity, if the money cannot be obtained, it will be a waste of work.

The time for sentencing has come.

In the lobby, the atmosphere was extremely serious.

There are too many people kneeling, many of them kneeling outside.

Su Tiancheng slapped the gavel, he is not used to this thing yet.

"This official has made it clear through the interrogation that this is a disgrace to us. The yamen servants colluded with rogues and ruined the reputation of the county government. Even the county government officials participated in it. The fish and meat of the people, this official is heartbroken and ashamed. Not punishing severely is not enough The public is outraged, and I can't sleep peacefully, so the verdict is as follows..."

There were more than 20 people who were sentenced to be beheaded, including more than a dozen local ruffians and more than ten government servants.

These rascals, including the yamen servants, had their tongues cut off long ago, making them speechless.

The person who was hit by the stick was executed on the spot, and the crackling board hit him, and no one dared to scream.

The people at the scene felt the great impact. They couldn't believe it. The county magistrate was playing for real. There were more than 20 people who were about to be beheaded. It won't be long, maybe some people will die in the prison.
