Chapter 127 Deceive the upper and lower levels
In fact, for local security, the Pingdu Yamen has long been desperate. Just look at the two places around them: one is Laizhou, where mine bosses are everywhere; The other is Zhaoyuan, so you don't need to introduce it, right? In modern times, they are all quite famous, and they are all outlaws who dig for gold.
In another time and space, the mine supervisors in the late Ming Dynasty, they were all over the Jiangnan where the eunuchs and wealthy merchants were all over the place, and Liaodong, where the generals and soldiers gathered, could be majestic and unscrupulous, but there was nothing they could do about Zhaoyuan. In the end, I could only pinch my nose and admit it, report to the court that "gold and silver are scarce", and forget about eating a filial piety.
Gold Diggers are far wilder than most people think, and they are quite xenophobic. Just a few brief history, after the discovery of Australia's large gold mines, those wealthy and powerful mining companies bought the mining rights. Then all those who went in were killed, and as many as they entered, they were killed. In the end, the treatment had to be abandoned.
And the San Francisco gold pan is even more ruthless. Many people may not know, but in fact, the whole of San Francisco is actually a one-man farm. But what about later? Where did those gold diggers manage so much? Free enclosure for gold, free real estate transactions, and buying and selling other people's land at will. When the man sought a verdict, the gold diggers burst into his home that night and killed all three of his sons. Frightened, the farmer, who happened to be not at home, and the judge who sentenced him fled overnight. Even the U.S. government later acquiesced to the facts. So, what Western spirit of the legal system is boasting about? Sometimes, it's just a fart!
For the sake of gold mines, even the use of state apparatus would be a big loss. Imagine the two Boer wars in the empire on which the sun never sets, and the British Empire could cry and faint in the toilet.
But the great luck in the misfortune, from an individual point of view, the gold diggers are indeed wilder than here in Jingjiazhuang, but they are not organized at all, they are busy with their own small groups of gold panning, not to talk about unity, internal friction is also ruthless, the overall strength is much worse than the Jingjiazhuang mine boss who has hundreds or thousands of miners at every turn. And it's more introverted, and it doesn't go out much. Therefore, the fame is much smaller.
However, no matter how much you go out to surf, there are always a few who can't be idle. Therefore, Pingdu is sandwiched between Laizhou and Zhaoyuan, and life is miserable.
However, after a long illness, he became a good doctor, and he was harmed a lot, and there was a very skilled way to deal with it in the Pingdu Yamen, that is, to deceive the superiors and conceal the subordinates, and to turn big things into small things and small things.
If it is reported to the imperial court, not only will the officials be judged, but the result of the handling will be nothing more than sending troops to encircle and suppress. And such a "bandit", those officials will definitely not be sent to death, and it is absolutely impossible to use soldiers or guest troops, so they can only use local guards. But the combat effectiveness of those guards, don't you know it in the Pingdu Yamen? Can you fight a ghost? Probably it's okay to steal chickens and touch dogs.
And they are all local to their hometowns, and those bandits are well-informed, and they have long since disappeared. The final result will definitely be to plague the countryside of Pingdu again, and the government will not only have to help wipe its buttocks, but may also be judged by the court again. It is really not impossible to lose your official position and be dismissed.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the Pingdu government prefers to use Jianghu means to solve the problem. Sell face to each other, as long as it's not too much, then open your eyes and close your eyes.
However, when Li Shuzhi asked Lin Hao, Lin Hao hesitated, as soon as he came to the rivers and lakes, the reputation of the people in the rivers and lakes was always difficult to hear. The second is that he is sorry for this matter, and it is Lin Hao who takes the initiative to eat black. Oh no, matches aren't black, they're serious. And Yongsheng was greeted in accordance with the rules of the rivers and lakes. Morally speaking, Lin Hao didn't have the slightest reason at all.
Seeing Lin Hao hesitating, Qiu Zhutou became impatient: "Master Hao, in fact, we know that Bai Er from Jingjiazhuang did it." What a joke, hundreds of people in Sunjia Village, dealing with dozens of people, were actually killed? And you and Sunjiacun want to join forces to swallow this goods. Stealing chickens doesn't make rice! Now that you've made a big fuss, you should give an explanation, right? ”
Seeing that the yamen had already learned the truth, Lin Hao became single: "What do you want to explain?" Do you want Jingjiazhuang to bully us Pingdu people? ”
"Don't nonsense." Qiu Zhutou scolded, "One yard is one yard." This case will be reported as 'horse bandits are rampant and rampant across the border'. However, it needs to be dotted up and down, and it will not be less than 1,500 taels. I'll ask you, when are you going to give it? ”
After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, in order to solve the problem of the lack of war horses in the Central Plains Dynasty, the horse policy of "changing the official herdsman to the people's herdsman" was implemented. After the implementation of this policy, throughout the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, there was indeed no shortage of war horses, but the people who herded horses were miserable. In particular, Shandong has become the hardest hit area. As a result, the horse bandits are repeatedly suppressed.
And now, the horse bandits have become a panacea for the government in Shandong to shirk their responsibilities, and as long as it is a tricky case, all of them can be pushed onto the horse bandits. Anyway, the horse bandits, they must be wandering around, and there is no jurisdiction, and the law does not blame the public, so they can get through in the court.
But as soon as he heard that it cost 1,500 taels, Lin Hao jumped up all of a sudden: "Why don't you go and grab it?" Where do you need so much money? ”
"That's right! We are not going to rob. Where is it like your grandfather, who is really majestic enough, and can still grab a group of evil stars? Qiu Zhutou scoffed.
Seeing Lin Hao's ugly face, Li Shuyi hurriedly stopped the two from bickering: "Then let's do it!" One thousand taels, it can never be less. Delivered to Yamen within three days. Otherwise, don't blame us for not saying good things for you in front of the big lord. ”
Lin Hao nodded reluctantly. This result is acceptable, how can he say that he still wants to mix in this Pingdu City in the future, and he can't offend the government, right? For a while, he regretted that he shouldn't have been greedy that night, and finally had to put money into it himself.
And Li Shuzhi continued: "There is another matter, how should Bai Er solve it?" We don't care about the grievances between you, we just want to ensure that we must make the Pingdu market stable. ”
What Scribe Li means, if you seek revenge, go outside, we are out of sight and out of mind.
"Eh, what's the origin of that white two? Why haven't I heard of it before? When did Jingjiazhuang have such a person? Qiu Zhutou interjected and asked.
Seeing that Scrivener Li was also very curious, Lin Hao came to the spirit: "Small role, young man who has just emerged." ”
"Oh!" Li Shuyi and Qiu Zhutou immediately began to make up their brains. This kind of young Jianghu people who have just emerged often do things without knowing the importance of things, and they are also more desperate. Just to make a name for yourself.
Lin Hao continued, beaming proudly: "But Bai Er has offended a lot of people in Jingjiazhuang, and even his own master has also offended a fine light. It's been a long time ago, and it shouldn't have been able to jump for a few days. There is no foundation, and it may fall when the wind blows. ”
