After more than a month of bitterness, it finally rained again!

Mo said that the peasants who relied on the sky for food were overjoyed, and even the officials in the Shuntian Mansion looked a little happier than before.

Only Sun Shaozong tossed with Ruan Rong yesterday until the second half of the night, and he was a little sluggish when he arrived in the yamen.

Fortunately, he had already handled his official duties yesterday, and now there is nothing important, so Sun Shaozong simply set up a free chair under the porch, listening to the sound of rain and closing his eyes to recuperate.

was wandering between sleeping and not sleeping, but he heard someone hurrying to the bottom of the corridor with a splash, lingering beside him for a while, and then entered the hall to talk to Sun Chengye.

After a while, the man hurried away again with a splash.

"How."

After sending the man away, Sun Chengye also went to the corridor, and just before he could open his mouth to call, he heard Sun Shaozong ask lazily: "Han Fu Yin sent someone here, is there any important official business, or is there another meeting?" ”

But it turned out that he had just squinted his eyes to see who was coming, but he was too lazy to pay attention to the other party.

Sun Chengye hurriedly said: "It's still a matter of 'verifying slave storage', and now the merchants in the city have been roughly screened, and then it will be the turn of the eunuchs' family - so Lord Fu Yin hopes to summarize the lessons and lessons first, discuss the gains and losses, and see if there is anything that can be improved." ”

In the final analysis, I am still afraid that the following do not know the severity and offend some dignitaries who should not be offended.

But this is just right, after this round of investigation, Sun Shaozong did sum up some lessons and lessons, and was ready to discuss it internally first, and then play it to the imperial court.

So he got up and stretched his waist, and ordered Sun Chengye to take out the robe, and then walked towards the inner hall by himself.

Who knew the inner hall, but saw that there was no one inside, only a small official standing behind the door.

Seeing Sun Shaozong coming in from outside, the little official hurriedly bowed down and said, "So that the Lord Zhizhong knows that because Jia Mansion thinks this house is stuffy and wastes this good rain, he will discuss in the pavilion in the backyard instead." ”

Tut~

It's really casually tight.

Sun Shaozong had no choice but to turn back.

collided with Wei Ruolan on the way, and led him to the backyard together.

The two of them didn't have anything to say on the road, and when they saw the pavilion approaching the left, Wei Ruolan suddenly asked: "Sun Zhizhong, what progress has you made now about the 'Tao Zhu Jinbei' you mentioned the day before yesterday?" ”

This is not a cold question, and it is really Bai Sun Shaozong who is stumped.

Even if King Zhongshun didn't explain, Sun Shaozong would not be stupid enough to reveal the news to Wei Ruolan.

But Wei Ruolan is the second-in-command in the Criminal Name Division, if he is perfunctory, he only needs to compare it a little when he goes back, and it is not difficult to see the flaws.

After a little hesitation, Sun Shaozong pretended to be embarrassed and said: "I found out some eyebrows, but it's just ......"

As he spoke, he deliberately peeked at Wei Ruolan, and said in his mouth: "It's just that I haven't been able to find out clearly now, or maybe it's really me who is worried." ”

"Really?"

Hearing Sun Shaozong's answer, the corners of Wei Ruolan's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile that she didn't know whether it was playful or disdainful, and said, "It's really a pity." ”

Pity?

Does this guy hope that he and the King of Beijing will face each other head-on, so that they can take advantage of it, or do they have other ideas?

Sun Shaozong thought about it in his heart, but after all, he had scruples, so he didn't want to ask anything, so he and Wei Ruolan each had a ghost and went to the pavilion.

Seeing the two of them arrive, Jia Yucun laughed and said: "There is a way that it is better to come early than to come by chance, but it is a coincidence that this green plum wine has just been cooked, and Sun Zhizhong and Wei Tongju have arrived." ”

Plum boiled sake?

This cultural person likes to engage in petty bourgeoisie.

After Sun Shaozong and Wei Ruolan took off their robes and saluted everyone, they also sat down separately - because it was a hexagonal pavilion, the three court officials and the three general judges each had a corner, which was quite harmonious.

Only Chen Zhichuang's treatment is a little worse, and he is not on par with his bosses, so he can only move a small Mazha and sit near the copper stove, which is called cooking wine for everyone, but it is actually as hot as the third grandson.

waited until they each shared a cup of hot plum wine, and pretended to drink a round [in fact, they couldn't drink it at all], Han Anbang got to the point.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

I heard him say aloud: "After all these days of cooperation from all over the government, the situation of slaves in the families of merchants in the city has been roughly investigated. ”

"But the next thing is the real highlight, so the government specially convened everyone to discuss the previous gains and losses first, and see if there is anything else to learn from and what needs to be improved."

Sun Shaozong held a glass of green plum wine, leaned on the fence and looked complacent, and after Han An finished speaking, he immediately said: "In fact, this time we were able to complete the investigation of the businessman in advance, thanks to the conscientious and diligent work of Weitong. ”

Wei Ruolan heard him praise herself, and was about to be humble for a few words, but Sun Shaozong suddenly changed his words and said: "But first the case of 'Immortal San', followed by the verification of slavery, Wei Tong's sentence is really hard, and it is really not appropriate to continue to work hard." ”

Wei Ruolan's face suddenly sank, and she was about to refute the rhetoric of unloading the mill and killing the donkey, but who knew that Han Anbang, Jia Yucun, Fu Xian, Zhao Liben and others nodded yes in unison, saying that it was time to let Wei Ruolan recuperate.

In this way, Wei Ruolan's retreat into the background is a foregone conclusion, and it is useless to distinguish it, only his annoyed forehead is bruised, but he really can't understand why he suddenly became the target of everyone!

In fact, these days, the vigorous and resolute efficiency of Wei and Qiu is certainly eye-catching, but the rampant style of acting is even more bluffing.

Now that I see that I am about to find out about the officials at all levels, it is the time when I need to be steady, how can the big guys dare to let them go?

Sun Shaozong also saw this point and took the initiative to mention this matter, which made Wei Ruolan suffer a dark loss.

However, after Sun Shaozong's first proposal was almost unanimously approved, he took out a few pages of tissue paper from his sleeve pocket, shook it open, and said: "In addition, after these days of investigation, the lower officials found that thirty percent of the slaves and maids who were abducted and sold were actually taken by beggars or gangsters dressed as beggars. ”

"In view of this, Xia Guan made a simple statistics, and found that the proportion of beggars in the city who committed various crimes over the years has been increasing year by year, and the probability of gangs committing crimes far exceeds that of ordinary ordinary people."

"Therefore, the lower officials are ready to play the imperial court and try out the beggar's armor protection system in our Shuntian Mansion."

"Beggars protect the armor system?"

When Han Anbang heard this, he frowned and questioned: "Let's not say that this matter has nothing to do with the verification of slave ownership, just because the beggars have no fixed residence, I'm afraid it will not be convenient to implement armor protection, right?" ”

The so-called armor protection system is actually a kind of joint sitting system, in which the government comes forward to organize the common people into a group of people with different numbers of armor, and once one of them is convicted, the entire armor will be implicated.

Therefore, in order not to be involved with the same protectors, the people will spontaneously supervise each other.

But that's something that can only be done between neighbors, and a highly mobile crowd like beggars doesn't seem to be suitable for this kind of operation.

"Lord Fu Yin doesn't know."

Sun Shaozong shook his head and said: "Although there are many beggars wandering around the city now, more beggars are fixed in a certain range to beg, and there are even beggars who exploit other beggars. ”

"This generation is already easy to work hard, but now it has formed a gang, if it is not brought into the jurisdiction of the government as soon as possible, it will inevitably be a disaster over time."

"Therefore, the lower officials hope that the beggars who beg in the fixed streets will be organized into baojia, and the government will come forward to designate the chief of the baojia and the chief of the first, and then demarcate their respective districts, and if there are beggars in the area, whether they should be punished by the baojia or not."

This is tantamount to apportioning part of the responsibilities of the government to the beggars, and if it is replaced by ordinary good citizens, it is a bit too harsh to do so.

But the beggars in these years are already discriminated against by the government - since they can reduce the responsibility of the government and do not need to spend any expenses, who cares if the beggars are wronged or not?

Therefore, everyone asked for some details, such as: whether the old, weak, sick and disabled should receive certain pardons and preferential treatment, or whether the gangsters pretend to be beggars to cause trouble, and how to distinguish them.

Seeing that Sun Shaozong was all answering fluently, it was obvious that he had been considering it for a long time, and everyone expressed their support.

Jia Yucun even took the opportunity to propose: "In this case, I might as well sign my name on Sun Zhizhong's recital, so as to attract the attention of the imperial court." ”

As he spoke, he bowed down to Sun Shaozong again, and said with a half-truthful and half-false smile: "If it is because of the idea of the virtuous brother, those beggars are unbearable and have become self-reliant, this kind of education will be disrespectful to be a brother." ”

This sound of 'virtuous brother' and 'brother' made Han Anbang's face darken a little - Sun Shaozong couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart, could it be that Han Anbang didn't know that he was about to be relegated to another place until now?
