The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 361
"Not only that, the Linjing county government not only refused to accept insect eggs. After we couldn't bear to beat the big drum outside the county government gate, the county magistrate refused to come out to see us. Instead, the government officials came out and drove us away with sticks. Gentlemen , We are all veterans who served our country, how can we bear this kind of anger. All the pavilion chiefs fought with the yamen servants and were arrested. Brother Huang and I are not afraid of trouble, but feel that there is a problem here , must let the Shangguan know. So I swallowed my anger and sneaked away, just for today!"

Liu Ming hadn't finished speaking here, but there were already two consecutive beeps from Kara in the auditorium.It was Jiang Wei and Zhang Yi, two old men, who broke the armrests of the new chairs together.Zhang Yi stood up with a flushed face, rushed to Zhang Hui in an instant and kicked fiercely: "Idiot! How dare you! How dare you treat a warrior who has served the country like this! Bullying the general is not good." ?”

"Hey~~! Presumptuous, above the court, how can you mess with lynchings! General Che Qi, please leave!"

"Hmph! Puff, I have to show you some good looks later!" Zhang Yi, who was still in a state of anger, hadn't completely lost his mind, and knew how inappropriate his actions were just now.He hurriedly bowed his hands to everyone in the hall and left in a hurry.

"Two pavilion chiefs, where did you go next?"

"Reporting to Shangguan, we immediately transferred to the prefect's mansion to ask to see prefect Chang."

"Take the criminal officer Chang Xu!"

Then Chang Xu, who was brought up, yelled at Chang Ji as soon as he entered the hall: "Chang Maotong, you cunning and mean cruel official! You even dare to frame your own brother for the sake of fame! I'm afraid you won't be able to enter the ancestral hall in the future!"

"Hmph, Chang Xu, the relationship between you and this official is at home. Above this court, there are only official business. I ask you, do you recognize these two?"

"I have a lot of business all day long, how can I write down everyone one by one?"

"Do you recognize it?"

"do not know!"

"Shan, the two pavilion chiefs, you beat the drum of the prefect's mansion, will the prefect receive it?"

"no!"

"Then what happened after you beat the drums?"

"I would like to report to all the superiors, after I beat the drums, the county soldiers of the prefect's mansion came out to receive them quickly, and immediately passed the news to them. But they came back soon and told me that the prefect was still in the mansion at this time. Lie down, haven't gotten up yet. The prefect told us to come back tomorrow."

"So did you go the next day?"

Speaking of this, the two pavilion chiefs smiled miserably: "Sirs, before we left the prefect's mansion, we saw the servants from Linjing County chasing us in the distance. How dare we go back the next day? No way, only Immediately escaped from Linjing County, and came directly to Hanzhong."

"Why go to Hanzhong?"

"There was my former colleague in Hanzhong who served as Qu Chang in the army, and it was because of his support that we quickly contacted Chang Zong."

"Officer Chang Xu, is there such a thing? Invite it truthfully!"

Chang Xu's face changed for a while, but finally he let out a long sigh: "It's true, it was winter, and it was freezing cold. I had a cold that day, and it was difficult to get up. So I asked them to come back tomorrow. But I The officials absolutely did not inform the Linjing County Government..."

"Bah~~! Criminal Chang Xu, criminal Qiao Xi. Chancellor Zhuge and Guan Da Sima repeated orders, and every yamen must set up a big drum. When the drum sounds, as long as the chief official is still in the official yamen, as long as he is not dying of illness, Everyone must get up immediately and open the door to meet the case. How did you do it? Can you be convicted?"

"...Chang Xu is convicted."

"Qiao Xi refuses to accept it! That day the subordinate officials were not in the yamen at all, even if they were beating the drums, how would they know?"

"Hmph! Of course you are not in the yamen! I visited Linjing privately for half a month, and the local people said that you traveled around the mountains and rivers all day long, and sang with the children of the local aristocratic families. Hand it over to the county magistrate. When are you in the county government again?"

"This……"

"Hmph! That's all for the time being about the two of you. There are other crimes to be investigated later. Zhang Hui, are you convicted?"

"Xiaguan... Xiaguan strictly enforced the standards so that the country's assets would not be wasted. What is the crime? Of course, in the process, it was a little stricter, but this is the small point..."

It can be said that Zhang Hui's method is a method commonly used by the aristocratic families throughout the ages - the more the country is in danger, the more the people will suffer from famine.The more it is an excellent time for the expansion of the aristocratic family.

The catastrophe in Guanzhong resulted in no harvest.At the beginning, Sima Yan imported disaster relief food here.After Ji Han took control of this place, he implemented the policy of exchanging eggs for food.These policies, objectively speaking, are extremely unfavorable to the aristocratic family - if the people have food, they will not sell their land for a living, let alone sell themselves to the manor of the aristocratic family to seek refuge.In this way, the once-in-a-lifetime expansion opportunity will slip away!
So, take advantage of the opportunity that Qiao Xi is extremely impatient and not good at dealing with common affairs.Zhang Hui gained Qiao Xi's trust through superficial flattery.Successfully stole various powers in the county.Then through various means, the people in the county were forced to die.Afterwards, the Zhang family's manor will naturally be able to come out and be a good person—hey, it's not that I want to expand, it's that if I don't expand, these people will not be able to survive.

Throughout the process, there was no corruption or bribery, and no false accounting.There is only one flaw of over-enforcement.As a matter of fact, Chang Ji is not wrong to say that Zhang Hui enriches his own pockets and the fish and meat villagers.But legally, there is not enough evidence!

"Hmph, prisoner Zhang Hui, you still have to resist now. I ask you, the people of Linjing County see that you don't collect insect eggs, and they have to go over mountains and mountains to carry the insect eggs to the neighboring county to pay. Are you How did you do it?"

"Of course we have to send yamen servants to stop them. We can't let them deceive the officials in neighboring counties."

"The people are angry, and what did you do when you had a conflict with the government officials?"

"In order to save public funds, the number of yamen servants in each county is relatively small. When forced to do so, the lower officials sent servants from the manor to help the yamen servants maintain order."

"and then?"

"Then, these troublemakers all went back."

"Hmph, you really are a cunning and shameless one! Come on, bring the witness Wang San."

"Caomin Wang San, I pay my respects to all the superiors."

"Wang San, where are you from? What do you do for a living?"

"Caomin is a native of Anfengting, Linjing County, who makes a living by farming. Before this year, Caomin's family had more than [-] acres of fields, and there were four people in the family: Caomin, mother, wife, and son."

"After your eggs were rejected by the county government and the head of the pavilion was forced to flee, what happened to your pavilion?"

"Reporting to the superiors, because the worm eggs were rejected. There was no food in the pavilion. In order not to starve to death, the Jing Zhuang in the pavilion carried the worm eggs to the next county under the leadership of the pavilion chief's son, wondering if there could be Accepted. As a result, more than ten men in our group were ambushed by the strong men of the Zhangjia Manor on the road. Seven of them were killed on the spot, and even the son of the pavilion chief, who was only 16 years old, was also killed. After getting hit, he rolled down the mound. After waking up, he quietly went back to hide in the pavilion. And then until Changseng came to this pavilion for a private visit..."

"Hehehe." Looking at Zhang Hui, who was starting to tremble, Chang Ji smiled cruelly: "I didn't expect there to be a fish that slipped through the net, right? Are you trying to say that this is the villain that the official hired to frame you? The officer will take you to the mound where seven people are buried in Linjing County? Do you want this Wang San to come to your manor to identify those evil slaves of yours? The disaster victims who joined your manor, please come to court one by one?"

Looking at Zhang Hui, who was already limp, Chang Ji slapped the gavel again: "In the sixth year of Yanxing, the Linjing County government refused to accept the victims' eggs in disguise, and the relevant officials bluffed the country's relief measures for the victims. The case of forcing victims to sell themselves into slavery has come to an end. Come on, let these criminal officials sign and pledge! Next, we will hear the case of ineffective spring farming in Linjing County and Anding County during the spring farming this year, and the ineffective investigation and suppression of jumping gnats."

With the core figures in this series of cases, Zhang Hui's mental defense was broken.Subsequent cases went much more smoothly.But the more this happened, the more frightened and angry the audience was.

During the spring plowing in Linjing, all the cattle sent by Chang'an went to the Zhang family's manor.Ordinary people didn't get any of it.

Quyuanli technology, did not organize the pavilion chiefs to come to the county government to study intensively.

Linjing County has not carried out the investigation of the gathering of jumping gnats at all.At the same time, the prefect's mansion of Anding County is also lazy and inactive. The spring plowing, the promotion of Quyuanli technology and the inventory of jumping gnats in all counties of Anding County all depend on the conscience and sense of responsibility of the county magistrates.

Not only that, the Linjing County Government did indeed have corruption in the process of collecting insect eggs: they made every possible way of making things difficult for the Han people’s eggs, and besides making all kinds of difficulties for the insect eggs handed over by foreign races, they also bought them at a low price.

At the same time, during this year's spring plowing, the Juqu Department, which is grazing in Linjing County, has repeatedly warned the Linjing County Government and the Anding Prefect's Mansion.It means that in some places where the vegetation is sparse, groups of jumping beetles are beginning to gather.However, the governments at the county and county levels were extremely slow to respond.

Chang Xu, the prefect of Anding, and Qiao Xi, the magistrate of Linjing County, are not only lax in politics.They received property, servants and maids from local families (mainly Zhang Hui) many times.After investigation, the cumulative amount is close to 300 million...

"To sum up, the postal governor's suggestion for dealing with the above-mentioned criminals is as follows: Zhang Hui, the prime minister of Linjing County, beheaded and ransacked his house. The evil slaves under his command who committed crimes, and those who had lives in their hands, should be beheaded together. All the land in his manor , servants, all included in the national list. Qiao Xi, the magistrate of Linjing County, accepted bribes, was lazy and ineffective, dismissed from his post, ransacked his home, and was fined 100 million yuan. Chang Xu, the prefect of Anding, accepted bribes, neglected government, was dismissed, ransacked his home, and was punished 200 million yuan in gold! Do you have any objections, senior officials?"

Ganling King Liu Yongchang sighed: "Punishment is fair and there is no objection. What does Da Sima think? Well, Da Sima?"

Guan Yi stared blankly at the roof of the house, feeling more tired than ever before.After Liu Yong and others called continuously, he also sighed helplessly: "Maotong handled it very well. I have no objection. On this basis, let's add three orders. First, several detainees, The chief of the pavilion who was beaten, the righteous people who were killed, and related witnesses, etc. According to the circumstances of the case, the governor post office will formulate compensation or rewards, and the relevant funds will go from the Da Sima Mansion. Second, write the whole process of the case The Mansion Newspaper is issued nationwide. It is required that every pavilion in the three states and forty counties of the country organize a lecture. Thirdly, officials from all states, counties, and counties. Take this as a warning, and in the next time, strictly implement the extermination of The regulations in the locust order strictly implement the household tax check. If there is a similar incident, the punishment will be increased!"
