Chapter 268: A New Official Takes Office
Everyone in the world knows that Kaifeng Mansion is a high match, and at the same time, everyone in the world also knows that the errand of Kaifeng Mansion is the most difficult.
The various forces in Bianliang City have developed for more than 100 years and are intertwined. No one knows who will be involved if they move.
Therefore, most of the successive officials of Kaifeng Mansion were monks for a day, and they left immediately after their tenure and qualifications.
is like Bao Zheng, which is indeed one in ten thousand.
Wang Xiao is still registered in Si Tianjian, but he doesn't have to go to work, he just needs to get a lot of money every month.
The emperor doesn't have to follow every day for the time being, and that job is one more opportunity to face the saint directly.
For Wang Xiao, the most important job now is to be a pusher in Kaifeng Mansion.
Kaifeng Mansion is very large, and it oversees all the administrative, prison, people's livelihood, taxes, arrests and other affairs in Bianliang City.
It is the largest and most prominent capital in the world.
The boss of this yamen is Kaifeng Mansion Yin, usually the nominal name of the crown prince. There are also those who are named by the prime minister.
For example, Kou Zhun, Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan and others have all been named.
And those who really work, like Bao Zheng, are generally under the name of Quan Zhi Kaifeng Mansion, which is simply a temporary assignment.
Further down, there are judges who assist Fu Yin in charge of administration, Liu Cao who is in charge of taxation and people's livelihood, there are government courts to promote education, and there are magistrates who are responsible for criminal arrest and so on.
Zhao Xu does not have a crown prince yet, and after Lu Dafang left office, he had thought of letting Zhang Dian come to the name.
But Wang Xiao and Zhang Dian had a quarrel, and now he has gone to Kaifeng Mansion to do business, and this matter has been shelved.
In other words, there is no governor in Kaifeng Mansion now, and the biggest one is the judge.
And this judge is very sensible, and he has been observing the people's feelings in the three tiles and two houses all the year round, and he is bent on mixing up his tenure.
Each ministry is in charge of things and does its own thing.
The former magistrate offended the relatives of the nobles in the palace when he was handling the case, and was sent to a remote military state.
Wang Xiao came to take over, and many fast catchers made private bets, saying how long this one could last and be taken down.
There's no way around it, it's too dangerous in this position.
On the first day of Wang Xiao's arrival, no one came to beat the drum and voice his grievances. He didn't convene his subordinates to lecture the head catchers, and sat quietly in his room, looking through various files over the years.
When it was time to get off duty, Wang Xiao beckoned all his subordinates to come over and concentrate.
Fortunately, on the first day of the new official's arrival, no one ran away early without giving face, and everyone with a bit of identity came to his courtyard to wait.
"Ladies and gentlemen." Wang Xiao said with a pleasant face, "Today, on the first day, I will wait and get acquainted with each other first." I set a place in the Yang family wine shop, how about enjoying the light and drinking a few glasses together. ”
Shangguan invited guests to dinner, this face must be given.
A large group of people came to the Yang family wine shop not far from Kaifeng Mansion. After arriving, I found that Wang Xiao had actually wrapped up the upper and lower three floors.
"My lord is really rich."
Everyone was envious. This is not something that can be arranged in a few or a dozen times.
Push the glass and change the lamp, and the wine and food are fragrant.
Our tradition has a wine table culture, and when you drink energetically, the atmosphere is naturally warm.
Everyone lined up to toast Wang Xiao, and the red face and red ears patted their chests and said that the magistrate had any orders, and it was also necessary to go to the soup and fire.
Wang Xiao was deeply skeptical of their statement, but with a relaxed smile on his face, no one would refuse to toast.
The wine table is the most direct place to understand people's character.
Wang Xiao observed while drinking, laughing and asking a few words from time to time. I have a general understanding of which of these people is a slippery person, which one is a villain, which one is depressed, and which one really wants to do things.
And everyone's impression of Wang Xiao has also changed from a person who is said to be a great master of the law and can peek into a wealthy man who can peek into a wealthy man who is generous and speaks well.
At the end of the banquet, Wang Xiao instructed the store to send a food box to everyone.
It was filled with drinks, dishes, and snacks for them to take home and try for their families.
The scholars and doctors of the Great Song Dynasty are indeed not short of money, but these young officials who are engaged in copywriting and administration in the yamen have much less money.
It is true that you can get a lot of money as a head catcher. But the fast hunting officials below them are divided into three melons and two dates.
The cost of living in Bianliang City is not low, and the cost is also large if the family has a large population. It is also a face-saving thing to be able to rub a beautiful takeaway.
In the praise of everyone, this day is over.
Everyone thought that Wang Xiao was also a bastard, but they didn't expect that when they were on duty early the next morning, Wang Xiao would gather them again.
"Here." Wang Xiao stretched out his hand and pointed to the thick copy on the table in front of him: "It is the case file of the person in the prison who has not yet been convicted." The official looked through it yesterday, and there were many suspicious cases with many points. ”
If you want to be qualified to influence the people's livelihood policies of the Great Song Dynasty, Wang Xiao's current official position is still far behind.
Seniority and age are huge obstacles, but Wang Xiao is ready to take a shortcut.
That's fame.
When the reputation is high enough, seniority and age are not a big hindrance.
When you come to Kaifeng Mansion, what is the fastest way to increase your fame? Of course, it was to take those imperial relatives and noble ministers.
Solve neighborhood disputes all day long, look for pigs and cattle, and have a reputation at all.
When he looked through the dossier yesterday, he was picking the right target.
Without the pleasant face of the banquet last night, Wang Xiao calmly took out a stack of files and slapped them in front of him, "Especially this case, the case of Shen Ji beating someone and seriously injuring someone in Yunliu Lane in the east of the city." ”
Shen Ji himself had multiple fractures on his body, and he couldn't even stand up. Such a person can actually injure more than a dozen strong men and rob more than 100 pieces of money. Do you all think I'm a fool? ”
In the unspeakable silence, someone stepped forward and whispered, "My lord..."
"Didn't eat in the morning? Be louder! Let all hear! ”
The man was so excited that his scalp tingled. But in the face of Wang Xiao's slightly cold gaze, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say loudly, "My lord, there is something else to do in this matter!" ”
"If the inside story is not the inside story, the official will naturally check it clearly. The people who handled this case stood up for me. ”
A few small officials and the head catcher team walked out cautiously.
Wang Xiao waved his hand, "Lock them in the class room first." After this official investigates the case in detail, I will give you an explanation. If there is really a grievance, I will also give you an explanation! ”
The people who are fighting in Kaifeng Mansion are all human spirits, and these people still don't understand that Wang Xiao wants to be powerful.
That Shen Ji's case is clear at a glance, that is, he borrowed the money from the seal and couldn't pay it back, he was injured and robbed of his family property, and then he hurt others by biting back.
As for the reason, it is because they can't afford to offend the people who put the money.
The Great Song Dynasty is allowed to put Yinzi money. There is a special organization called Jiaozi Affairs, Hui Zi Affairs. The private one is called the money shop.
The reason why Shen Ji's case is called an unjust case is because he was forced to borrow money from Yinzi.
As a result, because he couldn't pay it, he was seriously injured and thrown into prison, his house in the city was robbed, and his old parents were also angry to death.
That is, he is young, and he is still holding his breath in his heart. has been carrying it and not dying, otherwise there will be no place to seek justice.
Wang Xiao ordered someone to carry Shen Ji over, and only asked him, "Do you want to cry out for injustice?" ”
Shen Ji, who was holding a sigh of relief, opened his red eyes and roared with all his might, "Wrong!" ”
Someone shouts injustice, and this matter can continue.
Wang Xiao ordered someone to find a doctor to treat Shen Ji's injuries, and then arranged for a head catcher to go to the money shop to call someone over to confront him.
But when the headhunter returned, no one had brought him.
"What's going on?"
The catcher snorted and said, "Adult, the little one went, and the people said that the case was closed, and they didn't come." ”
Wang Xiao smiled, "People say they can't come, and you're back?" ”
The head catcher cautiously said, "My lord, I am for your good." The origin of that shop is not ordinary. ”
Wang Xiao smiled and nodded: "I have a heart." ”
Without waiting for the head catcher to say anything, Wang Xiao had already shouted left and right, "Take him down and hit the twenty boards." ”
"My lord, the little one is wronged."
It's useless to shout grievances, he's just a small official, and he has no power to resist in the face of the pusher.
The two dukes stepped forward to make arrangements and started a fight.
When the fight was over, Wang Xiao said lightly, "He will play twenty more boards, and each of these two fake fights will be forty." ”
Playing tricks in front of Wang Xiao is a typical class axe.
He didn't know anything, and it was ridiculous to play such a trick with him.
These two officials looked crackling and beating fiercely, but in fact, they were all tricks played by years of experience, and they didn't hurt their faces.
It's just that I didn't expect to be seen through by Wang Xiao at a glance.
No one dared to fake it now.
If you play falsely, it is not to save people, but to harm people by putting yourself into it.
After the real fight, Wang Xiao got up, left Kaifeng Mansion with dozens of fast officials, and went straight to Zhang Jiqian Yinpu.
When I came to the money shop, a steward came out to speak. glanced at the color of Wang Xiao's official robe, and said contemptuously, "This lord, do you know who the head of a certain family is?" ”
Wang Xiao looked at him lightly, "Do you know who the lord of the world is?" ”
"It's an official."
"Looks like you know. I work for the official family, and I represent the face of the housekeeper. Isn't the head of your family bigger than the face of the official family? ”
This could not be responded to casually, and the steward shouted angrily, "The head of my family is the captain of the horse!" You little green-robed official, hand a piece of music to the palace, and immediately let your head fall to the ground! ”
Wang Xiao sighed and shook his head: "Why are there so many fools in this world." ”
Of course, he knew who was behind this shop, and he had already found someone to investigate it in detail yesterday.
It was precisely because I knew who it was that I was asked to make the first stepping stone.
"All the people in the shop were taken down, and the shop was sealed. Whoever dares to resist is to resist arrest. ”
"I see who dares!"
It's not that the steward is really brainless, it's just that there are too many secrets hidden in the shop, and I dare not let people know.
And in his opinion, Wang Xiao, a small green-robed official, would not dare to offend the captain of the horse.
The steward summoned a group of strong men to resist with weapons.
And the officials didn't want to fight hard, but they were beaten back again and again.
Wang Xiao didn't mean to take action in person, he just said lightly, "The imperial court doesn't raise waste." If you can't take people, you go back and get twenty boards each, and then all of them will be dismissed! ”
The officials who were still fishing before, their eyes suddenly changed.
