Lin Haoran knew that officialdom was sinister, and if he wanted to do more, he had to take more risks.

Running such a large-scale lantern festival will not actually gain much political capital, and it will not benefit promotion at all. On the contrary, in the event of an unnatural accident such as a fire, it is difficult to guarantee that you will be held responsible.

This is the case in this officialdom, where officials who usually want to do practical things usually do not go far, because they are very likely to end up in dismissal or exile because of an accident.

Since Xu Jie came to power, why hasn't there been any big moves? Although he does need to focus on the matter of eradicating the strict party, he must take risks in doing things in substance, so as not to threaten the throne of his first assistant.

Xia Yan wanted to do things too much at the beginning, and wanted to push the imperial court to recover the Hetao. It was precisely because of this that Yan Song seized the opportunity, thus completely erasing the first assistant who had gone and returned.

Lin Haoran is not Xu Jie after all, he doesn't want to be a vegetarian meal, and his body is full of righteous blood like the tiger girl. He would rather work a little harder and take some political risks that are not too big, but also bring joy to the people of Beijing.

In his understanding, it is not enough for people to live just to be fed.

Facing Hu Lin's inquiry, Lin Haoran asked with a slight smile: "Hu Tongju, what do you think this lantern festival is arranged like this?" Achievement? I'm afraid this move is a nonsense? Reputation? I'm afraid that the people will think that this government Yin is going to take the opportunity to make money! ”

"It's the lower official who lost his words!" Hu Lin's doubts were gone, and he knew that Lin Haoran was really a public heart this time, and he gave a salute and said: "Shuntianfu can have an adult in charge, which is a blessing for the people of Shuntianfu!" ”

At this moment, he was really impressed by this Shangguan, knowing that this Shangguan was indeed a good official who was willing to do things for the people, and he was worthy of the name that more and more people gave him the name of Qingtian.

"If I am alone, if I want to do something for the people, I need your help! If the people of the capital can really have a cheerful Mid-Autumn Festival this time, it will be a credit to you, me and all of you! Lin Haoran never took credit, but said seriously.

Unlike many self-righteous palm seal officials, whether he served as the prefect of Leizhou or Guangzhou in the past, or the current Shuntian Mansion Yin, he is willing to share the credit with everyone.

Hu Lin felt Lin Haoran's hard work, as well as the heavy heart, and immediately respectfully bowed, and solemnly promised: "The lower officials will live up to the expectations of the adults, and will do things properly!" ”

"That's very good, there's Lord Rahu!" Lin Haoran knew that Hu Lin was also an official who was dedicated to the people, so he returned the salute.

Although the current officialdom is dark, he always believes that there are still many good officials. From the Leizhou Mansion to the Guangzhou Mansion, and then to the Shuntian Mansion, he found a lot of good seedlings with uprightness.

These are all officials who read sage books, and the competitiveness of local officials is not so great, in fact, many officials are willing to do some truth for the people like Hu Lin.

And he is not a stingy person, and he is also willing to promote these officials who are capable and willing to do things, like the former Leizhou general judge Dai Beihe gave him the operation to the Leizhou prefect.

As soon as Hu Tongju left, Sun Jixiang came in from outside with a bunch of complaints.

Today is another announcement day, and the Shuncheon Mansion will receive the complaint to the outside world. Unlike the Leizhou Mansion and the Guangzhou Mansion, the Shuntian Mansion not only accepts lawsuits from the people of Shuntianfu, but also accepts criminal cases from all over the country.

With Lin Qingtian's fame, some people from all over the country also filed a complaint and came to the Shuntian Mansion to redress their grievances. For example, Hebei, Shandong and Shanxi are not far from Beijing, and these people are willing to come to the capital.

Sun Jixiang put a bundle of lawsuits on the desk, and said respectfully to Lin Haoran: "Dong Weng, a total of one hundred and nine complaints have been collected today, of which there are thirteen criminal complaints, and three are filed in other places, please take a look!" ”

Lin Haoran took over the three criminal cases reported from other places, and read them carefully.

He is well aware that the people who go to Beijing to appeal are usually burdened with grievances, and these people are also inconvenient in the capital, so he will give priority to handling such cases.

Soon, he finished reading all three criminal cases in other places.

In the first two cases, the offender's relatives went to Beijing to file a grievance and demand that the case be overturned. In such cases, it is usually necessary to go to the criminal department to obtain a file, and if there is a flaw in the magistrate's sentence, the local government will be asked to retry or arraign.

In the latter lawsuit, the local government did not accept the case, and the complainant went to the capital to redress his grievances.

Cases that are not accepted by the magistrate are usually in two situations: first, the evidence provided by the complainant is insufficient; Second, the defendant has a lot of power in the local area.

Lin Haoran is not afraid of crooked shadows, and now he dares to meddle in any case, so he carefully flips through the case, so as to weigh whether to take over the case.

Chen Gui, a child student in Shanxi, sued Yang Kuan, a wealthy householder, for robbing his wife Wang and killing his father-in-law's family of three.

Of course, it is impossible for the defendant to forcibly intervene in any case based on the words of the defendant alone, and to convict the defendant, it is also necessary to produce human evidence and material evidence.

After reading the complaint, Lin Haoran asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Sun, this is a murder case involving a family of three, why didn't the local government accept it?" ”

"The local government said that it was done by the bandits, so it did not accept Chen Gui's lawsuit!" Sun Jixiang had just made some simple inquiries to the complainant and replied honestly.

Lin Haoran's brows furrowed slightly, knowing that this kind of thing without real evidence was indeed easier to prevaricate, so he continued to ask quietly: "Then why didn't the local government accept this matter of robbing a wife?" ”

"The government believes that this case is a false accusation by Chen Gui, his wife Wang has died in the river outside the city, and his wife Wang's head was moved by Emperor Dongyue to Yang Kuan's concubine Xia Hua!" Sun Jixiang said with a wry smile.

"It's ridiculous!" Lin Haoran didn't believe in ghosts, and with years of experience in judging cases, he knew that there might be real grievances in this case, so he asked, "Is the person who complained still there?" ”

"I just asked him to wait, he should still be there at this time!" Sun Jixiang and Lin Haoran already had a tacit understanding, and even replied seriously.

Lin Haoran had the heart to deal with this case, so he directly ordered: "Bring people to the third hall, I want to question the bitter master!" ”

"Yes!" Sun Jixiang nodded immediately, and then turned to leave.
