If you have a grievance to sue, you shouldn't come to the Jinyi Guard Yamen.

If you really come to Jinyi Wei Yamen to sue, there should be only one possibility, it is the previous refugees who come to sue. In particular, in the past two days, I have heard that many refugees have been looted or even killed on their way home.

Therefore, Zhang Mingwei immediately paid close attention to this matter and dealt with it as soon as possible.

As soon as the complainant entered the lobby, he knelt down at the door with a "poof", kowtowed, and said in a loud voice: "Lord Qingtian, Bodhisattva, make the master for the grass people......

The tone was hurried, and the earthen voice made Zhang Mingwei, a traverser, unable to hear what he was saying at all.

In desperation, he had no choice but to interrupt loudly and say to the complainant: "Don't worry, get up and speak, make it clear." ”

The man understood Zhang Mingwei's words, so he kowtowed again before standing up.

Zhang Mingwei looked at him, a man in his thirties, with a sad and angry expression and a little fear.

was looking at it, and the complainant lowered his head and said, "Master Qingtian, I'm ......"

Well, Zhang Mingwei still doesn't understand. turned his head to look at Zhu Yujiao standing beside her, and saw that she was also shaking her head, so she turned her head to look at the others.

Lan Tianbao, who was standing on the side, understood, and acted as a translator. After he communicated with the man for a while, he said to Zhang Mingwei: "Master, his name is Ma San, he is from Fangshan County, and he is a refugee outside the capital city before. His younger brother's name is Ma Liu, and he was elected by their Ma Jiagou people to enter the ...... of Jinyiwei"

As he spoke, this Ma San was also listening, nodding again and again, indicating that it was right.

“…… They went back and did not encounter any thieves, but soon heard that there were thieves who were robbing and killing people everywhere, and after discussing with them in 32 households in Majiagou, a total of 125 people, they decided to go to the county seat to hide for a while. As a result, the county town did not let them in, even if their lieutenant took out the papers, and the relatives in the city gave them certificates, they would not be allowed to enter......"

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei's brows furrowed. What the next situation will be like, he also guessed.

Sure enough, I heard Lan Tianbao continue to relay: "...... Even if the food given to them by the master is used sparingly, mixed with leaves, it is almost gone. There are still thieves outside the city, and they are in danger, so they remembered what the lord said, if the local government does not give resettlement, they will come to the Jinyi Guard Yamen to complain. Therefore, they had no choice but to choose him to come to the capital. ”

After relaying, Lan Tianbao expressed his opinion and said: "Master, ordinary people are actually very afraid of seeing officials and dare not deal with officials. If it were possible, they would certainly not go to the county seat for help. I must have been forced to go in desperation. After so many days, the will of the imperial court must have been transmitted to the land of Gyeonggi. And when they went to the county seat, they also brought a notice issued to them. But even so, the county town won't let them into the city! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei was a little unsure, was this two years before the fall of the country at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the will of the imperial court was no longer good at the local level, or did it mean that Fangshan County was only resistant to the resettlement of refugees and refused to implement it?

Whatever the reason, this is something that Zhang Mingwei can't accept. Refugee resettlement can be said to be his first time working in Daming. If Fangshan County resisted like this, then other places would definitely follow suit. It will not only blow his prestige, but also make the refugee problem of Daming unsolvable.

So, he asked for some more details. When asked, his brow furrowed even more. Clearly, the situation is not encouraging.

Zhang Mingwei was analyzing, and suddenly saw that the horse swayed a few times and fell to the ground. Thanks to the blue sky on the side, he was quick to protect his eyes and helped him.

Afterwards, Lan Tianbao told Zhang Mingwei: "Master, he is caused by excessive fatigue and hunger. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei said to Ma San with concern: "You go down first and have a good rest, I will definitely take care of this matter." ”

After finishing speaking, he commanded: "Pass on his brother Ma Liu, let him take care of his brother." ”

Waiting for Ma San to leave, Zhang Mingwei frowned and asked: "Fangshan County is in the southwest of Beijing, and those thieves are wreaking havoc in the southwest, isn't that the case?" ”

Zhu Yujiao has a good memory, and when she heard this, she immediately nodded and said, "Yes, sir." ”

When Zhang Mingwei was confirmed, he tapped his finger on the desk and began to think.

The scale of these thieves is not large, although each has its own account, but certainly there are no more than a thousand people. If the scale was large, Jingshi would have been under martial law a long time ago.

It stands to reason that if this incident occurs, the local government and the army of the guard should be responsible for extermination. However, in other places, Ma San didn't know that as far as Fangshan County was concerned, the local government not only did not send troops to encircle and suppress it, but also did not allow the people of Zhuangzhai who had no defense under their rule to take refuge in the county seat.

If you are worried about getting into thieves, unless the men, women and children in the entire village have become thieves, otherwise, it is impossible to get into thieves by pointing out each other.

In other words, if the local government really has a heart, there must be a way to screen it.

Could it be that they want those thieves to harm the people? Not only can the burden be reduced, but can also get some more local land?

For the officials at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Mingwei really couldn't think about the good side. I don't dare to place any hope on their character.

When he was thinking about this, he suddenly came down to report that Zhou Wenzhen had come to ask for a meeting.

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Mingwei was a little surprised, could it be that in such a short period of time, there would be news from Zhou Wenzhen's side?

He remembered that he had only told Zhou Wenzhen not long ago to let him check the news of the thief. If there was no gain, he couldn't have come to see him so soon, right? Otherwise, there is a big movement on the side of Jin Shang!

In either case, Zhang Mingwei immediately ordered to meet Zhou Wenzhen.

After a while, I saw Zhou Wenzhen rushing over under the guidance of the captain of the Jinyi Guard, and when he saw Zhang Mingwei, he immediately said: "My lord, that gang of thieves has news!" ”

I didn't expect the news to come so soon, Zhang Mingwei was also very happy, and hurriedly asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"Back to your lordship!" Zhou Wenzhen said excitedly, "It just so happened that a brother in the sect came to Beijing and brought news of the thief. That gang of thieves is a thief from Dafang Mountain, I don't know why, this time they actually went out of the mountain to rob, and they made such a fierce ......"

Fangshan County is high in the west and low in the east, or the west is the remaining veins of Taihang Mountain, that is, Dafang Mountain, and the east is the plain. In this kind of world, there are thieves on the mountain, and it can be understood.

But it's a little strange that the thieves are so fierce now, why didn't Fangshan County mention that there were thieves in Dafangshan? Do you not know that there are thieves in Dafangshan or is it the mentality that more things are better than less things?

Curious, Zhang Mingwei carefully asked about the situation of this group of thieves.
