Chapter 90: Returning Lives

Hearing Master Zhang's reminder again, Si Fan took the paper and began to look at it carefully. After pondering for a while, he was "poofed" and happy, and Master Zhang echoed with a smile: "That's right, Dong Weng." What Wang Yuan wants is to save face. He didn't send the body to the yamen, he didn't beat the drum to complain, and he didn't think about asking you to be promoted. Just wait for your words, as long as you can give an explanation, this matter will be over. ”

"Hmm." Si Fan nodded, but he was still very cautious, "The little Hongling he sued, do you know which one is behind it?" ”

"It's the He Mansion of the Great Sima Family." Seeing that Si Fan's face changed suddenly, Master Zhang hurriedly explained, "The third young lady of the He Mansion also sent a post, and she also gave a gift of one hundred taels. ”

"Oh? The post is taken. Si Fan took the post from Master Zhang's hand, opened it and read it carefully, thoughtfully, "Diao Min's private fight, those of us who are parents and officials should be punished slightly." Don't use the flail to show the public, just be punished with a cane! Ay! Ten years of cold windows, full of sages, and still have to dirty hands for those mercenary miners? The end of benevolence is also far away. ”

Obedient and listening, Master Zhang instantly understood what Si Fan meant. Si Fan did not complain that the Wang family had ruined his compassion (compassion, benevolence), but found fault with the Wang family's gift being too light: "Dong Weng, the student union will let Wang add another two hundred taels in addition to the member." ”

"Uh-huh." Si Fan shook his hand away, and seemed to be dirty as soon as he heard Brother Kong Fang. threw down a sentence from afar, "Ask those officials, let people come to the yamen and surrender quickly." Let them do it! ”

Master Zhang's face was happy, this was Si Fan's acquiescence to the handling of the yamen to receive benefits. So he rushed to the sixth room of the government office, grabbed a scribe and asked a few words, and then asked him to call someone quickly. After a while, Gu Zhaohe, the head catcher of the fast shift, hurriedly ran in, bowed and bowed and asked, "Mr. Zhang, do you have something to tell the little one?" ”

"Hmm." In front of Gu Zhaohe, Master Zhang put up a shelf, "Bai Er should be your person, right?" Let him quickly hand over eight people to the yamen to surrender. He committed a crime, and his private fight hurt people's lives, and the people's grievances were boiling. The magistrate commanded, just return eight lives! ”

"Huh?" Gu Zhaohe raised his head in surprise.

It's not that this approach is strange, the government in this era dealt with group private fights, which was basically as simple and rude. Since one side has injured someone's life, then one life will be repaid. I don't have time to find the real culprit, anyway, let you choose your own people, and then put them to death.

In fact, the county government of the Ming Dynasty did not have the right to execute people, and cases higher than 100 rods needed to be transferred to the government office, the provincial criminal department, and the criminal department for review at all levels. Even capital punishment required the emperor to be executed.

But there are policies and countermeasures, and you can use hundreds of catties of flail to exhaust people to death. It is also possible to use a heavy hand when the cane is punished and beat a person to death. And those officials who are tortured have ancestral skills, and they can be killed with a few ruthless hands, or they can only look ugly when they are used up, and they can jump on the ground on the spot.

Anyway, there is an explanation to the above, "I can't bear the torture, and I die of weakness." Therefore, here, Si Fan chose a relatively "happy" cane, which is already a kind of grace for the government.

At this time, Gu Zhaohe was surprised that the subordinate relationship between himself and Qin Bai couldn't stand scrutiny at all? In fact, if Qin Bai didn't bird Gu Zhaohe at all, Gu Zhaohe would have no choice.

However, seeing Gu Zhaohe's embarrassed expression, Master Zhang lowered his face: "Old Gu, do you still want to discount the things assigned by the county magistrate?" It's not for Bai Er to surrender by himself, it's for him to pick people! Do you want to keep everyone who has followed you? It's funny, do you want me to praise you? Just the righteousness that you always know? ”

Seeing that Master Zhang was really angry, Gu Zhaohe didn't dare to hesitate anymore. He accompanied a smiling face: "Mr. Zhang, you are buried in the small, how dare the little one not know the big man and your lift?" The small one will go to Jingjiazhuang and promise to let Bai Er send people. ”

Gu Zhaohe thought to himself, anyway, he could pick a few mine blacks at random, or draw lots to draw a few unlucky ghosts. It won't hurt Qin Bai and his brothers, this trip is not difficult, and Qin Bai shouldn't refuse.

After leaving the county office, Gu Zhaohe summoned several of his subordinates, and then led the horses out of the city, and they rode towards Jingjiazhuang......

……

In the inner courtyard of the second square, several women were talking together.

"Sister Yingzi, do you mean that what is called a match, it was sold out all at once?" Wei Peiying asked Li Ying curiously. She was well raised during her confinement, and her figure was slightly rich. And this time Cao Dacai went home, it seemed that his speech and demeanor were much more "gentle", and Wei Peiying's beautiful face also had a lot of smiles.

"It's really sold out, just for a while. In fact, there is no need to worry about this at all, the second brother can rest assured that everything he does. Holding Ding Yao's hand on the side, Li Ying smiled and gossiped, "Yao'er, the second brother is here this time, have you spoken?" ”

Ding Yao was a little shy and a little distressed. She lowered her head, biting her red lip and shaking her head slightly.

Li Ying was very enthusiastic and said, "Then you should find a way to meet with the second brother more?" ”

"Yes...... But we're not married yet. The more Ding Yao spoke, the quieter she became, "And...... And he's still busy. ”

"They already live in a yard, and you still care about this?" Li Ying laughed, "The second brother has a good temper, go and talk, and I won't eat you." ”

"Hee-hee." Wei Peiying on the side smiled and quipped, "After eating her, I got her wishes." ”

"Nope!" Ding Yao's eyes were looking around, and he lost focus.

And Miao Ya on the side spoke angrily: "The old man's temper is not good at all, and he will drive away the slave family." ”

"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"

“……”

……

In the outhouse, several men sat in a circle.

Li Kang looked very excited: "Second Brother Bai, this match is really easy to sell." Do you want the stockade to stop everything else and step up making matches first? If there are not enough manpower, let the miners come over as well. We can also go to the market to recruit people. It's easy to make money. ”

"Hehe, easy to earn?" Wu Lisong on the side sneered.

Li Dang asked suspiciously, "Am I not right?" In a while, there will be a hundred taels, and every month there can be three thousand! God, three thousand taels, three thousand taels of silver! I've never seen that much money! Didn't even think about it. Second Brother Bai, are there really so many? ”

"Huh." Qin Bai smiled and didn't speak.

And Cao Dacai, who was on the side, explained with a smile: "The big boss is doing the right thing, you can't mess up by yourself." Dare, you all know that there is so much money, if outsiders know, will they not blush? Therefore, the big boss already knew that this match was easy to sell, so he asked them to train first. Thief you north, in vain happy for several days, I thought the big boss was going to ...... To ......, hahaha! ”
