Chapter 115: Arbitration

Gao Wei nodded and said, "If the official informed you in advance, how could he see today's good show?"

Listening to this tone, Wang Qingfu couldn't help but secretly complain, he knew that the patrol press had been hanging around in the neighboring counties recently, but people were micro-service private visits, you can't go up and down without interest, in fact, officialdom is like this, there is no impermeable wall, some patrols think that micro-service private visits, can visit the people or something, in fact, someone has informed in advance, this time he Wang Qingfu got the notice that the patrol press will not come to his small county town at all.

If you won't come, why are you still here?

Gao Wei walked into the lobby, and the people didn't know what kind of official this was, but when they saw that the county lord was also respectful to him, they all held their breath and became uneasy. Gao Wei said: "This official was ordered by the Holy Order, according to the place, originally for the Jialu River project, but he saw a public case - I have heard for a long time that Wang Zhixian is known as the name of the blue sky, but today this case was hastily decided, and even aroused public anger, which is really detrimental to Your Excellency's name, which is a big surprise." ”

Wang Qingfu said stiffly: "Back to the hospital, it can't be fake, and it can't be fake." The lower officials think that the evidence in this case is conclusive, and it is indeed a scoundrel of Diao Min, if you don't believe it, please check it. ”

Gao Wei looked at the pleadings on the table and said: "The chief has money in his family and asked someone to write a complaint, but the small people have no money in his family, so he can only defend with his mouth." The two sides insist on their own words, and each has witnesses to corroborate it, so how can Lord Wang conclude that this is Diao Min's work and wants to falsely accuse the lieutenant chief? This official thinks that if Diao Min is really making trouble, he is afraid that he is the plaintiff, and the lieutenant chief is the defendant; I wonder why Wang Zhixian taught me?"

Gao Wei is right, if Diao Min makes a false accusation, he must take the initiative to sue others, catch others off guard, and will not passively wait for someone to sue, which makes Wang Qingfu speechless for a while before saying: "My lord is clear, if my lord is preconceived, I am afraid it will be difficult to find out the truth." The county's summer tax last year has not been paid, and this year it will be in arrears, and this time the political envoy will mean that the government will recover the arrears of the prefectures and counties, and the department will also give an account, and the prefecture and county will also explain, if they are not urged, how to pay it off?"

"And the adults don't know," Wang Qingfu pointed to Zhao Guangsheng under the hall and said: "These Diao people are under the rule of King Zhou, if they are chased too much, they will arouse civil discussions, and they will not look good on King Zhou's face, so they will resist and do whatever they want!"

Gao Wei smiled: "This official has long known that you have been in arrears in summer taxes and autumn grain for two consecutive years, a total of 2,200 stones. There is also this year's account, if you want to pay it, you must make up for the two years of arrears, otherwise your black gauze hat will not be able to wear it. But have you ever thought that your Shangshui County last year the Yellow River burst its embankment, suffered a big flood, and was the most heavily flooded, this year's Jialu River is not good, the big water has been flooded again, the people are poor to this point, waiting to be fed, you still have to covet political achievements and fear punishment, in order to keep the official position, just sit back and watch Lijia urge the people, and sentence the small people to lose the lawsuit, you are an official, I think it is really not as good as a dog and a horse!"

"This official is from his Bianli Village!" Gao Wei saw that Wang Qingfu seemed to be unconvinced, so he patted his shocked wood and said: "I saw with my own eyes that his Zhao Guangsheng's fields were all grass and collapsed land, and Wang Gui actually charged him the same tax as the official field!

Wang Qingfu was scared at this time, but Gao Wei continued: "You just said that more than ninety percent of the lawsuits in your county are lawsuits for small people who refuse to pay grain, but in this file, you didn't listen to the small people's complaints at all, and only sentenced the small people to be guilty based on what Li Jia complained. Whenever there is a lawsuit filed by the people, Lijia stands up for fame, disturbs the grain households, receives bonuses, embezzles money and grain, and forces the grain households, you don't listen to it at all, you listen to Lijia's words, and every time the small people lose the lawsuit. As a result, the wind of urging intensified, so that Lijia was rampant, and the people were afraid to sue, and in order to avoid the delivery of grain, they could only become homeless. It is not your responsibility, but whose responsibility it is!"

Wang Qingfu was sweating and there was a dish on his back, so he saw Gao Wei straighten his face and said to him: "Wang Zhixian, what you did today, this official must submit a document to the prince, you should reflect on it!"

Gao Wei said: "This official sentenced the chief Wang Gui to bear the amount of insufficient grain households under his jurisdiction, and the official also inspected Xiagou Village, and saw your family's fields, crisscrossing and wandering, I don't know if you have paid enough summer tax and autumn grain? ”

The lieutenant was about to shout dissatisfied, but when he heard Gao Wei say about the summer tax and autumn grain, his face couldn't help but turn pale, knowing that he was evading taxes and hiding some of his good fields and not reporting them, he was afraid that he would be known, so he could only admit it in a gloomy manner, like a defeated rooster.

Seeing this situation, the onlookers were suddenly surprised, the mountains called the sky, and Zhao Guangsheng kowtowed again and again, grateful.

And Gao Wei, who retreated into the back hall, left Zhao Guangsheng alone, and asked him if anyone had come to his house recently, or if he had seen anyone ask him about things - Zhao Guangsheng remembered the instructions and made a blank look, completely denying it.

Gao Wei saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he asked him to step back with a pleasant face.

Taking out the letter from his sleeve, Gao Wei read it carefully, only to see that the letter said that there was a local chief in Bianli Village, Zhoujiakou Town, urging the grain household Zhao Guangsheng to be very anxious, and the local officials did not distinguish between right and wrong, but listened to the chief and forced the people to flee.

At that time, the letter was delivered by his elder, saying that there was a person at the door, asking him to send the letter, and when Gao Wei saw the name of the person, he immediately sent someone to chase it, but the person was gone.

Because the end of the letter is stamped with a seal, it is actually the seal of Hanlin to worship Yang Yu, Gao Wei is a person from the Beijing Metropolitan Procuratorate, how can he not know who Yang Yu is, he is naturally surprised.

This is a cabinet person, although the official rank is not high, but the status is unique, the emperor depends on them as a confidant, the clothes given to these five people rise year by year, from the fourth product to the second product, almost comparable to the Shangshu, the six Shangshu see the emperor and specially enter the palace, and these cabinet bachelors, they work in the palace Chinese Huadian, can meet the holy face day and night.

Hanlin bachelor is nothing more than a new branch of Jinshi, Hanlin is the emperor's sent attendants, good at writing, scriptures, medicine and various skills such as calligraphy and painting, wrestlers, like the calligrapher Shen Du, but Hanlin worship is different, specializing in drafting the edict, belongs to the emperor's confidential secretary, such a person's request, Gao Wei even if he is iron-faced and selfless, he has to consider it, not to mention that he set off to go to the village of Bianli, and found that as Yang Shiqi said, the local governor is very urgent.

At this time, Zhao Laohan's house in Bianli Village was rare to have a sumptuous meal, Zhao Laohan was happy, so he caught the chicken at home and killed it to entertain Zhang Zhaohua, and asked her how she knew that there would be a bigger official coming today - he didn't know anything about it, Zhang Zhaohua just told him that today's trial case, there will be officials higher than the county magistrate, and he will definitely make decisions for the people at that time.

Zhang Zhaohua's identity naturally can't show up in Henan officialdom, fortunately she has a public seal, which is the official seal of Yang Shiqi, a scholar of the Hanlin Chamberlain, which was used by her, stamped on the letter and sent to the patrol there.
