"Huang, Wang, Qin, Yang, Pan, Xu, Li, all the seven Tumu families in Sicheng are here." When Cen Ling said this, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Gao Pragmatic is calm, in terms of his identity, the big toast is worth noting, and the earth is ...... No matter how big the soil is, if it is not recognized by the imperial court, it will always be just a soil eye, and there is no authority to dominate one side.

Of course, the so-called Seven Tumu Families of Sicheng Prefecture, when they came all the way, Cen Ling had already told him.

After the Ming Dynasty, the power of the Sicheng Cen Tusi had already crossed the north bank of the Hongshui River, and the territory was expanded. For example, the Huangma family moved to Luo Hu in the north of the river, there were eight jia and three pavilions at that time, the Wang family guarded the mulberry that was the ten jia of long hail, the Qin family and the Yang family guarded the Shanglin eight jia, the Pan family and the Xu family guarded the Lucheng eight jia, and the Li family guarded the Tian'e two jia.

Each leader has a hereditary local position, each recruits tenants, and each cares for its people, and is subject to Tuzhou, forming a ruling system that combines politics and economy from Tuzhi Prefecture to the chieftain, Jiamu, and Tingmu.

However, the Sicheng Cen clan's ruling system was too harsh in Gao Shishi's view.

In Sicheng, the Cen Tusi issued tax regulations according to their own wishes, and were not restricted by the imperial court system, and their powers to conscript soldiers and adjudicate civil litigation and disputes were also not restricted by the imperial court system.

According to Cen Ling's previous introduction, in Sicheng Prefecture, whenever there is a civil dispute to the state office, in addition to asking for errands and opening straw shoes, the toast also has to pay a long husband or several long husband gifts.

If there is a criminal case to the department, in addition to the meal and the fee for opening straw shoes, you must also pay the red robe mountain salute and the court arrest fee. Criminal suspects who are in custody are required to receive a different amount of money for entering and leaving the cage.

There are many names such as handcuffs and leg irons, clamping sticks, leather whips, iron cables, standing cages, flail numbers, etc. The people of the earth shall not disobey the envoys of the Tusi.

Tusi restricts the living, dressing, and behavior of the local people, and does not allow the local people to build high houses, and the local people must build houses in the same place that are lower than the houses of the Tusi officials; It is not allowed to go out on horseback, only on foot; The natives were not allowed to wear long robes and white clothes, but only black, gray, and blue clothes; You can't hold an umbrella to catch up, and you can't sit in a sedan chair when you marry a girl.

The Tumin cannot feast with the Chuang villagers, and when they go out with the Zhuangmin, the Tumin cannot walk in front of the Zhuangmin.

Native people were not allowed to study in government-run schools and were not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations. When the people see the Tusi family, they must kneel halfway, and when they see the Tusi family, they must kneel all the time, and when they see the Tusi, they must prostrate on the ground and kowtow. Every time the Tusi goes out on patrol, the natives must kowtow on the side of the road to greet them - this is the same as the natives of Siming Mansion kowtowing to Huang Zhiting.

The road up the mountain was not very steep, but it was very long, and the two sides saw each other from a long distance, and they came across each other after walking head-on for almost half an hour.

The patrol team did not stop at all, and moved forward without hurry, but the team of Lingyun City began to change when it was about a mile away from the patrol team, and the team was divided into two sides and lined up on the side of the road.

The seven major Tumu sitting on the horse also dismounted, and greeted them on foot, and after the highly pragmatic patrol team approached, under the leadership of a forty-year-old Tumu, they said in unison: "Sicheng Tuzhou Tumu, Lingyun City Garrison Officer Huang Ma, bring the six Tumu of Sicheng to see the press platform, press the Taiwan Jin'an!" ”

As he spoke, his movements were not ambiguous, and the seven of them knelt down and kowtowed. And the wolf soldiers standing by the side of the road behind them also knelt down with them. At the same time, the seven earth eyes are one kowtow, and the wolf soldiers are three kowtows.

This rule is not the rule of the imperial court, and Gao Shishi didn't bother to pay attention to it, so he gently pinched the horse's belly, stepped forward and sat on the horse to look down at the seven Tumu kneeling in front of him, but he was not in a hurry to let them get up.

The seven earthies did not dare to act rashly, and knelt honestly.

Gao pragmatic looked at it for a while, and then asked in a very dissatisfied tone: "Which one is Huang Ma?" ”

The middle-aged man who knelt in the first place lowered his body a little more and said loudly: "Xiaguan Huangma, please press Jin'an." ”

"You're Huang Ma? Very well, Ben pressed to ask you. Gao Pragmatic said in an indifferent tone: "I came to Sicheng according to this, why didn't Cen Shaoxun come to greet Sicheng Tuzhizhou?" ”

Huang Ma didn't move, and replied: "Back to press the platform, Cen Gong of Tuzhi Prefecture in Benzhou has been unwell in recent years, and he can't be the wind or see people when he is sick, so he can't come to greet the press, but he has instructed the lower officials and others to receive him properly, and sincerely apologize to the press on his behalf." ”

Gao pragmatic snorted lightly: "Can't be the wind, can't see people?" What kind of disease is this? ”

Huang Ma seemed to have been prepared, and replied: "Returning to the table, this is caused by a miasma, this disease can be contagious, the patient needs to lie in a clean room, backlit leeward and no one is seen, otherwise the person who is not sick can also be infected, the whole body is ulcerated, and the part is not limited." ”

Gao Pragmatic rolled his eyes and said in his heart: Bullying me for not knowing medical skills? You're talking about leprosy, aren't you?

However, he didn't plan to dwell on this matter, but just said coldly: "Since Cen Zhizhou is sick, let's spare him the crime of disrespecting the officials." But as a subordinate official, why is there no boundary to welcome the book? Don't you think that the imperial court is mighty, and it can't reach you, Sicheng Prefecture? ”

Uh, this is just nothing to look for, this kind of thing can only be regarded as an unspoken rule, and the court does not require it.

However, Huang Ma was still able to hold back and replied: "According to the platform, it is not that the lower officials and others are disrespectful to the platform, it is really because in the past few days, all the toasts have gathered in Lingyun City, and I heard that the Zhizhou Cen Gong is sick, and they all want to visit, and it just so happens that Cen Gong is worried that he will not be able to meet the press in person, so that the illness is aggravated, and the lower officials and others are the subordinate officials of the soil, and they dare not leave for a while, so they missed the time to welcome the press of the platform, and the lower officials and others deserve to die, please press the table to surrender." ”

These words are naturally typical officialdom, but Gao Pragmatic seems to be serious, and said lightly: "Oh, then what do you think, how should I condemn you?" ”

No matter how good Huang Ma's temper is, he can't help it at this time, although he is still kneeling, he straightens up and says, "That depends on the meaning of the stage, is it up to the lower officials to have the final say?" ”

Gao Pragmatic was stunned, and said lightly: "How many officials are you?" ”

Huang Ma was stunned and didn't understand the meaning of Gao Pragmatism, but he still replied: "If it is according to the regulations of the imperial court, the officials will be eight grades." ”

Gao Pragmatic showed a smile and said lightly: "Eight products...... Loess Order, Yellow Garrison, do you know that the Imperial History has the right to 'make decisions on small matters' for local officials of the sixth rank and below? ”

Huang Ma's heart jumped, she couldn't help but be frightened, and replied: "Xiaguan is in the wilderness, and I don't know much about this. ”

Gao Pragmatic said lightly: "That press might as well tell you, you said that the sin deserves death, and this press can really make you wish, and you don't even need to ask for an order." ”
