Chapter 175: Counter-Killing

Guo Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Chen Huaili behind Liu Xianguang, and knew that it must be this guy who sued first, if he argued directly, Liu Xianguang would probably not believe it, so he could only speak with facts, and turned his head to Bai Du behind him and said: "Bai Xiancheng, please tell Lord Liu, when this official first arrived in Gutian to take office, how many Gutian households were there, and now, how many Gutian accounts are there?" ……”

Baidu immediately came out of the crowd and saluted Liu Guangxian: "Lord Liu, before Lord Guo took office, there were 1,911 households in our county, with an average population of nearly 4 people per household, and now, there are 3,386 households in our county, with an average population of 6 people per household, and there are household registration books to check ......."

Liu Guangxian was also shocked when he heard it, the Ming Dynasty took the "real household registration" as an important indicator to assess the performance of officials, because through this indicator can very intuitively reflect the people's livelihood in a place, and it is absolutely impossible to fake, because the household registration is linked to taxes, there are more household registrations, and the corresponding taxes to be paid are more, so it is impossible to overreport only by concealing and underreporting, Guo Zhiyuan can more than double the population of Gutian in less than a year after taking office, it is really amazing, and it is said that Guo Zhiyuan is rampant, If Guo Zhiyuan really makes the people miserable and displaced, the population of Gutian will only decrease, and it is impossible to increase.

How could Liu Guangxian not know that he was deceived and fooled by others, and his face was a little unbearable, but he didn't know who to send it to, Guo Zhiyuan hurriedly said when he saw this: "Lord Liu, the lower officials are only shallow in learning, and they are new to officialdom, and they often dare to be unable to deal with government affairs, for fear of making mistakes, and now they encounter a case that is difficult to decide, and they are about to ask the adults for ......advice."

Liu Guangxian happened to borrow the slope to get off the donkey, and seeing Guo Zhiyuan's humble attitude, his impression of him was much better, and he stroked his long beard and said: "You say come and listen, there are many difficult cases handled by this official......

Guo Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "Not long ago, there was a case in this county, someone kidnapped a people's daughter in front of the public. raped her, and the lower officials have now arrested the person and detained him in this county prison, but he doesn't know how to judge her for a while......"

Liu Guangxian frowned when he heard this, and said angrily: "What is so difficult to decide, according to the law of Da Ming, strong. Traitorous woman, hanging! What's more, it is a crime to kidnap the people in front of the public, and it is even more of a crime! ……”

Guo Zhiyuan was waiting for Liu Guangxian's words, and hurriedly said: "Master Xie's advice, it's just that this person has a lot of background in his family, if the lower official is sentenced to hang according to the law, he needs to report to the criminal department for review, and the lower official is worried that if that person's family is checked up and down through the relationship, the criminal department may reject the sentence of the lower official, and then the lower official will be reprimanded by the upper official......

When Liu Guangxian heard this, he was furious and said: "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people!" How can an official not dare to handle a case impartially because he is afraid of power?! If what you say is true, the official will exercise the privilege of patrolling the imperial history and sentence him to be hanged according to the law, without reporting to the criminal department for review! ……”

Chen Huaili was suddenly anxious, thinking that success had made Liu Xianguang preconceived to have a bad impression of Guo Zhiyuan, Guo Zhiyuan must have been unlucky, but he didn't expect to be easily resolved by Guo Zhiyuan's bitter love scene of hanging, and now Guo Zhiyuan borrowed Liu Guangxian's knife to kill his son, at this time, he couldn't take care of it much, and quickly pounced on his knees and cried: "The adult spares his life, the child is ignorant and ignorant, and he did the wrong thing when he was confused, the villain is willing to compensate the bitter master's family, please raise your noble hand, don't sentence the child to hang!" ……”

Liu Guangxian saw that Chen Huaili took the initiative to jump out, and knew that what Guo Zhiyuan said was true, and he also understood that he was deceived by Chen Huaili and others before, and almost wronged Guo Zhiyuan, before he was misled by others and wronged the county magistrate who caused him to commit suicide in prison, which made him feel ashamed, and now this kind of thing happened again, which immediately made him angry, pointing at Chen Huaili and angrily reprimanding: "Boldly Diao Min, you are committing murder, but you falsely accuse the county order, come on, drag it down, and hit the fifty big boards!" ……”

As he spoke, he turned his head and pointed to the landlord squires who jointly sued Guo Zhiyuan with Chen Huaili, and said angrily: "There are still you, reversing black and white, confusing right and wrong, and causing the official to almost wronged Guo County's order, and all of them will be dragged down and re-beaten on the 20th board!" ……”

Liu Guangxian's entourage did this kind of thing, and immediately stepped forward to drag people, but the number of landlords and squires was too manpower, and they were not enough, and those county officials saw the situation just now, and knew that Gutian County was about to completely change the sky, and they could only hug Guo Zhiyuan's thigh in the future, and hurriedly went up to help, and after a while, they heard the sound of crackling boards and the screams of the landlords and squires crying wolves.

After cleaning up these landlords and squires who deceived him, Liu Guangxian finally vented his anger, but he almost wronged Guo Zhiyuan but he hadn't revealed it, which made Liu Guangxian's face a little unbearable, but he couldn't let him apologize to Guo Zhiyuan, a nine-grade sesame official, Guo Zhiyuan also had eyesight, and hurriedly said when he saw this: "My lord is wise!" If it weren't for the fairness and honesty of the adults, the lower officials would really have no argument today! Before, these local tyrants and inferior gentry constrained the lower officials everywhere, making it difficult to implement the decrees of the lower officials, and today by the power of the tiger, presumably they dare not deliberately prevent the implementation of the decrees of the lower officials. ……”

Liu Guangxian was very useful to Guo Zhiyuan's sycophant, pointed at Guo Zhiyuan with his finger, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you Guo Zhiyuan, Hugh wants to put a high hat on this official, this official didn't notice before, almost misbelieved the slander, wronged you, where can you talk about wisdom, you can think about the people everywhere, Gutian is under your rule, you can clear the bandits so quickly, it shows that you still have some talent, this official is very pleased, although this official and Lingzun Guo have never been in the future, but I have also heard of his name, now it seems that he is really a tiger father without a dog, The next time I see Ling Zun, I will congratulate him......"

Liu Guangxian encouraged Guo Zhiyuan, and he almost unjustified Guo Zhiyuan before, but after all, he couldn't hold it on his face, and said with some reserve: "Now that it has been ascertained that the joint impeachment of you by the governors of several neighboring counties is purely a false accusation, this official should truthfully report to the saint, and this official still has official business, so he will not stay in Gutian......"

Guo Zhiyuan finally got the great god Liu Guangxian, naturally he wanted to maximize the value, how could he let him leave like this, and hurriedly said: "The adults came from afar, and it must be very hard to travel all the way, how can you let the lower officials do their best to be the landlord, and the lower officials still have a lot of questions to ask the adults for advice!" ……”
