Although the ability to govern the county is a little worse, in terms of morality, Yin Zhang Zhan, is indeed impeccable. As Jing Dan said, Zhang Zixiao, the three-auxiliary instrument with two sleeves and a breeze, was alone in this turmoil.

This made the fifth Lun, who wanted to come to speak for his grandfather, touched his nose at the gate of the county government.

"Da Yin has closed his door and has not seen anyone."

Of course, the subordinate Shi knew Wu Lun, and bowed his hand to him apologetically: "Xian Yu County Zai was arrested, many Haoyou in the county were implicated, there are too many people who come to the door to intercede today, and the county Yin doesn't care about it, and I hope that Lang Guan will forgive me." ”

Fifth Lun didn't know what to say, if it was none of his business, he would definitely praise Zhang Zhan for not favoritism and being a Qing official. But if it is about himself, he has to complain about Zhang Zhan's cherishing of feathers.

Helpless, Wu Lun can only think of another way, he has a Lang official name, and the officials in the county have met face-to-face, and after visiting the family, he finally learned some news from the county Gongcao.

"Your Majesty thinks that the morality of the officials in the world is degraded, and for the sake ......of profit, the county Yin County slaughters a lot of money, so it is strictly investigated, and the order of the five Wei Si is here, Boyu, you can see it yourself."

Wu Lun took it and took a look, but saw that it was written: "Since the second year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the officials and the border officials and doctors above have taken four-fifths of all the property of their families to help the border emergency. ”

He secretly said in his heart: "The second year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, that is, nine years ago, this is to get to the bottom of it, Wang Mang is really playing?" ”

The new dynasty had wars in the south, north, and west: the west had just lost the Western Regions, and the Qiang rebellions in Xihai County were endless, and the south was at war with the Jumachi state in Yunnan and Guangxi, and the Western Shu barbarians also had abnormal movements.

A larger-scale battle was fought with the Xiongnu in the north for several years, and Wang Mang also wanted to completely subdue the Xiongnu and let them accept the title of "surrendering slaves to surrender". It's just that the treasury has been empty recently, and I never expected that Wang Mang would actually hit the corrupt officials with his idea.

If it weren't for his own family being implicated, Wu Lun might still applaud it.

At this time, Jing Dan also rushed over from Chang'an and informed Wu Lun of the news he had obtained: "The one who investigated the traitor in the sixth lieutenant and the sixth team is Kong Ren, who is a close confidant of His Majesty, the deputy of the fifth Wei commander, and has always been known for daring to attack ministers. ”

Jing Dan glanced at the county government with the door closed: "It's actually useless for you to find the county king, although Zhang Gong is incorruptible, but after the fact, he can't escape the charge of failing to detect adultery, and he is afraid that he will be punished, so he can't help." ”

Fifth Lun, he is actually just strange, his family is not a county official, and he has no chance to embezzle, why was he arrested by the county magistrate and immediately implicated?

Could it be that someone is secretly doing it, such as the First Clan? Fifth Lun thought so at first, but when he came to the county, he learned that the first clan was even worse than his family, because of the conspiracy with the fourth clan to increase production and bribe Xian Yu Bao, the first Liu and the fourth Xian were also arrested in the county and imprisoned.

But the fact that his own bribery is rarely praised is still secret, why was it exposed so quickly?

Jing Dan sighed and said: "Because Wuwei Si ordered a special order, allowing the officials to sue their chiefs and the slaves to sue their masters. ”

Since the beginning of the Qin Dynasty, children have sued their parents, and concubines have accused their masters, which are called non-public lawsuits, and the government will not accept them. The new dynasty also inherited this decree, and the fifth Lun also learned it when he was studying the law in the Lang Bureau, but this time he broke this rule. As a result, many close slaves and maids around the county officials and county officials suddenly jumped back and bit their masters fiercely.

Xian Yu Bao was denounced by his concubine, and the concubine also had many receipts as evidence, which led to the county Haoyou, who had a money transaction with Xian Yu Bao, to be served in a pot.

In this era, corruption was referred to as "accepting the law" and bribery was "asking for money".

"Please be guilty of sin, sit on the throne as a thief, and be guilty of the same crime as theft, as much as you bribe, according to the amount of theft, I am afraid that you will have to shave off your hair and beard, punish you as a concubine, and take away four-fifths of your family wealth."

Fifth Lun remembered the laws and decrees he learned in the Lang Bureau, if all of them fell on his head, the Fifth Clan would be hit hard, and it would be like forcing him to rebel.

But things may not have no room for manoeuvre, Wu Lun is clear, Wuwei Si Ming does not have so many manpower, it is impossible to be responsible for each case, at most send a big official to be in charge of a county, and it is the postal supervisors who are really on the front line.

The so-called superintendent of the post is the abbreviation of the superintendent Cao Peng, a county has several people, responsible for supervising the subordinate county, announcing the fatwa, in charge of prison lawsuits, and arresting fugitives.

Fifth Lun thought that even if Zhang Zhan cherished his feathers and refused to end, he was a filial and honest official, and several superintendents in the county had taken pictures, or they might be able to exchange favors for their noble hands.

But Jun Gongcao told Wu Lun bad news.

"In order to prevent favoritism, Wuwei Si ordered the county governors to exchange postal inspectors, and now it is the postal governor of the northern part of Jingwei County who has come to investigate the matter, but it is the postal supervisor ...... in the north of Jingwei County."

"Maoling people, horse aid!"

……

Ma Yuan's character Wenyuan was born in the Maoling family.

The Ma bloodline can be traced back to the Warring States period of Ma Fu Jun Zhao Hao, and when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Ma family had two marquis and was highly favored. It's just that after the witch curse, the ancestors Ma Holuo and Ma Tong were exterminated by the clan for trying to enter the palace to murder Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and only one concubine survived and hid among the people.

As a descendant of a traitor, Ma was in the doldrums for a hundred years and began to transform and study the scriptures. In Ma Yuan's generation, the Han family declined, and no one pursued the rebellion a hundred years ago, and the accumulation of several generations was finally rewarded.

There are several brothers in the Ma family, all of whom are extraordinary: his eldest brother Ma Guo is an official to Henan Taishou; the second brother Ma Yu, the official to the lieutenant of the middle base; The three brothers and horses, the official to the new dynasty Zengshan (Shangjun) even rate.

There are three two thousand stones out of one door, and even if it is placed in the five tombs with a crown like a cloud, it is extremely rare.

Only the youngest Ma Yuan is an outlier, the elder brother asked a famous teacher to teach him "Qi Poems", this kid didn't learn the chapters and sentences after reading the original text, thinking that it was a waste of time, and turned to read the books at home, but he didn't want to go too much for further study.

The family thought that he wanted to be an official, and after Ma Yuan served his eldest brother's funeral for a year, the county wanted to raise Ma Yuan as filial piety, but Ma Wenyuan directly refused, gave up his good career, and his family was so anxious that his family jumped to their feet.

Ma Yuan seemed to be fine, ran to Shangjun alone, and defected to his second brother Ma Yu. He didn't do anything serious, he only mixed with the local Hun miscellaneous guys, and after a few years of playing horses, he returned to Maoling and became a postal supervisor.

Although the power of supervising the postal service is great, his rank is only 200 stone officials, and the gap is too big compared to the three brothers.

is such a puzzling guy, because of Wang Mang's anti-corruption, he was exchanged to Lieutenant County to investigate the case of praise and acceptance.

When interrogating other people involved in the case, such as the first Liu and the fourth salt, Ma Yuan was sitting. It wasn't until the Fifth Tyrant walked into the hall and saw the staff in his hand that Ma Yuan immediately got up and bowed his hand to the Fifth Tyrant.

"I don't know my father-in-law's age in advance, otherwise I should come to the door to inquire in person, it's really lazy."

When the Han Dynasty became the emperor in the previous dynasty, there was the "Imperial Decree of the King's Scepter", the whole dynasty inherited the whole, and gave the dove cane to the old man who was over 70 years old, the staff was nine feet high, and the top was a wooden dove.

But the implementation of this decree is not enough, and the dove staff of the fifth tyrant is still made up for him by the county after the fifth Lunju became filial piety and entered the court.

Now that Xianyu County has been arrested, and half of Cao Peng has been arrested, who cares about checking the list of doves.

The old man with the dove staff enjoys privileges: the treatment is more than 600 stones, and he does not tend to enter the official mansion.

"Isn't that slack!"

The fifth bully looked extremely weak, hunched on his back, holding his dove staff in both hands, as if he wanted to hang his whole body on it. While coughing, he looked at Ma Yuan, who was only in his thirties, and said: "You don't pay attention to benevolence in your later life, and you actually sent someone to escort the septuagenarian overnight. “

"Brought in?" Ma Yuan glanced at the assistant next to him: "Didn't I ask you to drive a car to invite?" ”

The official said wrongly that it was indeed invited, but the fifth tyrant said: "Is that please, this road is bumpy, the officials are rough, and the old decay is almost dead." ”

The fifth tyrant stroked and said: "Superintendent, I have also been a village official, and I know that if the officials dare to insult the old man with a dove cane, they are guilty of unrighteousness." There was such a case back then, a civilian man surnamed Wang beat an old man with a cane and was sentenced to behead and abandon the city. Needless to say, I want to see Jun Yin, and I want to sue you and others for mistreating the elderly! ”

He is relying on the old and selling the old, taking advantage of the reason first, muddying the waters, so that he can get out of this case.

Ma Yuan always just smiled, and after the fifth tyrant finished speaking, he said: "My husband has joined the army, right?" ”

These words made the fifth tyrant stunned, but he listened to Ma Yuan: "The old man holds a dove cane, as if he is holding a spear, and the law says that those who are over seventy years old can even hit local bad officials with a cane, if I hit the old man, I am afraid that the bones will be broken." ”

Ma Yuan has walked at the bottom of the county over the years, and he has seen all kinds of things, and he can see at a glance that the weakness of the fifth hegemon is all camouflaged, but the chassis under his feet is as stable as a rock.

What's more, he has already inquired, this old man once knocked down a strong man with one punch and broke the ribs of the light man with one kick, what kind of pretend?

"The eyesight of the posterior is good."

The fifth tyrant was a little embarrassed, he still had to nod his face, and suddenly, his waist didn't hurt, his legs didn't hurt anymore, and he sat as straight as a dove cane!

"Don't worry, uncle, I invited you to come, just to ask."

Ma Yuan then asked about Xian Yu Baochen's concubine to blame, and said that the fifth clan had given Xian Yu Bao money in the autumn.

"When my family sent it, it was obviously a pear, how did it become money?" The fifth tyrant was stunned, with a look of wrongedness: "Superintendent, the father of Xian Yu Bao and Lao Su are colleagues, and when the pears are ripe, they are given to their sons and nephews to taste, which is also considered a bribe?" ”

The assistant official on the side hurriedly said: "But under the pear basket, there is a lot of money and silk, according to the concubine who blamed, it is the fifth clan who wants to get the place of Tai student......"

"Ridiculous." The fifth tyrant laughed: "The superintendent is from another county, I'm afraid I don't know anything about this." ”

"My grandson Wulun, ranked first in official science, could have gone to Taixue, but because of filial piety, he let him learn from his younger brother, and everyone in the county knows about it."

"It's more than that."

The fifth tyrant came to the task: "Later, the county order requisitioned my family Boyu for filial piety, and he resigned again." ”

"After Jun Yin heard about it, he still resigned except for Bo Yu as the main room history!"

"Superintendent, tell me, Boyu doesn't even do the official who sent it to the door, why should my family give the county slaughter a place for the sake of a mere Taixue quota?"

Ma Yuan smiled: "Then the fifth Lun was raised to filial piety? ”

The fifth tyrant's face sank: "What is the relationship between these two things?" Filial piety is raised by the county Yin, and has nothing to do with the county governor. ”

If he had changed to someone else's family, he would have carried the identity of the fifth Lun's Lang official to suppress this little governor, but the fifth tyrant tried not to mention his grandson, even if he suffered, he could not be implicated.

At this time, another small official came over, whispered in his ear, and Ma Yuan bowed his head: "I know." ”

Then he waved his hand: "The words have been asked, the old man can go." ”

The fifth tyrant was stunned, his words were indeed fine, but this horse aid is not simple, I'm afraid I will have to fight for a while, why are you willing to let yourself go?

And after the fifth tyrant left, the assistant official was a little puzzled: "Superintendent, just let this old man go?" If he can be handed over to his subordinates, he does not have to be beaten, and he will not be able to sleep peacefully all night, and he will definitely be able to confess. ”

"Do you want to kill yourself?"

Ma Yuan looked at this stupid subordinate and said: "The law has a word, if you are over 70 years old, you will be respected by people, and if you are not the head, you will not be impeached, and you will not be sitting." There was such a case in the previous dynasty, and there was a small village official who was suspected of breaking the law by holding an old man with a dove cane, so he detained him without authorization, resulting in his death, although he was not beaten, and finally the little official was also sentenced to abandon the city. ”

If you don't mess with the old man, don't mess with it, if you do too much, people will make trouble, and in the end you will be in prison, maybe it's yourself.

The assistant official was bent on meritorious service, and retorted: "In the past, the law did not allow slaves to sue their masters, but hasn't it been changed this time? The superintendent of the post, in extraordinary times, should use the power. ”

Ma Yuan stopped talking, and looked at the officials coldly, this time, the most active thing is the low-level fighting officials, they are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, and they always hope to reach the sky by handling a big case.

"You're teaching Ben to do things?"

……

When the fifth tyrant walked outside the county temple, he saw that the fifth Lun was already waiting outside.

"Why is Boyu here?"

"After hearing the news in Chang'an, he immediately went home." Wu Lun asked with concern: "Then Ma Du Post, is it not difficult for the eldest father?" ”

If there is, he will be forced to follow the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Zhang Yide and whip the post.

"He dares!"

The fifth tyrant became arrogant again, carried the dove cane on his shoulder, and went to the side with the fifth Lun, and said what was inside.

"The old man was righteous and stern, and the little pony was speechless, so he only avoided the table to apologize to the old man, and personally sent me out."

In order not to worry his grandson, the fifth tyrant downplayed the whole process, saying that everything was under control.

But at the key point, he still told the truth, for example, Ma Yuan saw through him at a glance that he relied on the old and sold the old, which was indeed extremely difficult to deal with, but for some reason, he let it go gently in the end.

Fifth Lun didn't understand why, the only thing he was sure of was that Ma Yuan was a person, and he actually had an impression.

Specifically, in fact, I first knew the Five Tiger Admiral Ma Chao, after all, there were too many Three Kingdoms games in the previous life...... I also heard the name of Ma Chao's ancestor "Fubo General Ma Yuan".

However, Ma Yuan's specific deeds, origin, and even the era in which he lived, the fifth Lun's historical illiteracy is not clear, and it is only when I hear it today that I suddenly realize.

If it weren't for the coincidence of the same name, in addition to the emperor Wang Mang and the national teacher Liu Xiu, he would have a third person in this era.

At this time, there were small officials who came out and made a gesture towards the fifth lun.

"Fifth Lang Officer."

"Ma Du Post is invited!"
