Chapter 76: The Feast of the Hung Gate
Li Yun carried all the silver he took to the county government hall, and many officials saw this white silver with fine eyes, they had never seen so much money in their lives.
And what they didn't expect the most was that the county lord really asked for the money, it was Gaofu's money, and Gao Mang, who had always been stingy, vomited blood and really took out the money.
I really don't know what kind of means this county lord has.
Li Yun put his hands behind his back, watching carts and truckloads of silver being moved in, the officials were dazzled, many people swallowed their saliva greedily, Li Yun said: "Don't look at it, you are indispensable, you are also busy these days, and after dividing the people's money, one person will be rewarded with one hundred taels as a reward." ”
"One hundred taels?!"
"Yes, but there is one condition, from now on, if anyone dares to show off their might to the people of the county again, this hundred taels will be dismissed."
The yamen nodded one after another, and when they heard one hundred taels, it was like beating chicken blood, and their annual salary was only five taels or three cents, and one hundred taels would take twenty years to earn.
Isn't it just to serve the people? As long as you have money to be a grandchild, you can do it.
Everyone shouted that Li Yun was the master of the blue sky.
And Li Yun also brought the modern reward and punishment mechanism to ancient times, saying: "From now on, you will follow the official well, and if anyone performs well at the end of the year, the official will give you a year-end bonus." ”
"Year-end bonus?" Everyone looked left and right, and they had never heard of such a thing.
Li Yun almost forgot that this was the Tang Dynasty, so he said directly and simply: "At the end of the year, those who have outstanding work will be rewarded with an additional five taels of silver per person." ”
Everyone understood when they heard it, and they were all excited, everyone said that the new county master was simply too generous, they had worked for so many years, where did they get any oil and water, that is, the first year of the class had a filial piety money of two or three taels of silver, as for the others? No fart.
"Okay, hurry up and post a notice to tell the people of Linzi County that anyone who registers in this county and is bullied by the Gao family's father and son will come to the yamen to change money according to the size of the incident, which can be regarded as compensation for them."
With motivation, the officials were naturally diligent in their work, and after they had finished posting the notices, they would beat them all over the streets with gongs, and they were very energetic.
All the officials are bound to compete for the title of "best officer" of the year.
One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, in just one day, the entire Linzi County was spread, and those who had been bullied by the Gao family's father and son all went to the yamen to line up to receive money, which was regarded as compensation.
After this matter was spread, it was originally a yamen, but now it is a market, so it is not lively.
In less than ten days, all the people on the list received their due compensation, some people received more than 20 taels, and some people received less, less than 5 taels.
The ordinary people who got all the money knelt in front of the yamen, kowtowed to Li Yun and thanked him, calling them the great masters of the sky.
Li Yun never flaunts himself with high morals, and what he does is just to calm the injured hearts of the people, and this money is just the meager power he can do for the people.
After the people finished dividing, Li Yun also gave the officials the rewards they deserved according to the agreement.
And Li Yun has only been a month since he took office, and it is precisely this month that the entire Linzi County Ya has completely changed.
The officials were no longer domineering, they were showing off their might, and when they were patrolling the streets, they would often help the people, who were a little scared at first, but later got used to it.
Before, the people went to the county government to express their grievances, but they were all beaten out by the county order, but now, Li Yun keeps the people's grievances in mind and handles everything one by one.
From murderous brawls to neighborhood quarrels, etc., all of them are taken seriously. It is said that it is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs, but Li Yun is easy to do with ordinary things.
No, there is a case above the court today, two women are fighting for an infant baby, and both of them keep saying that they are their own children.
In the lobby, the two quarreled so lively, Cheng Chumo, Lin Qingzhu and the officials all had a headache when they heard it, and the two of them insisted on their own words, and it was really difficult to determine which was true or false.
"The prisoner Wang, Ding, the two of you have their own words, and they both say that the infant child is their own parent, do you have any evidence to prove it?"
"My lord, this child was conceived and born by a migrant woman in October, but she turned out to be a child trafficker, and the Shen woman stole my child while she was washing, and she didn't succeed thanks to my husband's timely discovery."
Li Yun looked at Ding and asked, "Ding, they said you are a human trafficker, what do you have to say?" ”
"The women were wronged, this child was born by the women with hard work, and they did not hesitate to frame the women as human traffickers in order to snatch my child. Ding said crying.
"Is there any physical evidence?" Li Yun asked again.
If there is human and physical evidence, how can it be difficult to distinguish the true from the false in the court, and the listeners will be dizzy.
The two women both shook their heads, neither of them could prove their innocence, and Li Yun pondered for a moment, he stared at his expression, and finally said: "Since the two of you have no evidence to prove it, and you both say that the child is your own, why don't you do this, the official will split the child, how about half of your two families?" ”
When the words fell, without giving them a chance to speak, Li Yun ordered someone to take a knife and split the baby in swaddling clothes.
Cheng Chumo and Lin Qingzhu both felt that Li Yun was crazy, if they really split the baby in half, how would they live?
Li Yun ignored it and said to the officer: "Split this baby for this official." ”
However......
Just when the official was about to drop the knife and kill the baby, the woman Ding suddenly stepped forward and protected the baby, and at this moment, Li Yun suddenly shouted: "Stop!" ”
The official stopped abruptly, dropped his knife and stopped in mid-air.
"Bold Wang, you still don't admit your guilt!!"
"My lord, the women have been wronged."
Wang was puzzled, how could the county order know that he was not the baby's biological mother.
"The matter has come to this point, you still dare to shout injustice, what about the people, cut the Wang family, put him on death row, according to the laws of the empire, the traffickers, executed after the autumn, and immediately beheaded, Wang's husband participated in it, it was regarded as a joint sit, beheaded!!"
Anyway, don't give the Wang family a chance, go directly to death row, and wait for the autumn queen to be beheaded.
And everyone was in a trance, not knowing the reason.
Li Yun explained that Ding can protect the baby's life at all costs, while Wang turns a blind eye, and the only person who can give his life for the child is the real mother.
After listening, everyone suddenly woke up and shouted in unison that Li Yun was wise and martial.
At this time, the subordinates of the Gao Mansion came to the county government and said, "Lord County Commander, this is my lord's banquet invitation, please be sure to attend." ”
With that, the servant left.
