Chapter 318 How to Handle Disputes
Customs and habits, you can't trace its rationality, even in the era of more developed scientific and technological civilization in later generations, there are still some unreasonable customs and habits that have been retained, Sun Xiangfu pulled this thing out, Wei Zheng couldn't find any reason to refute him for a while, so he had to keep his mouth shut, but he began to reflect in his heart, whether the national integration policy of the Tang Dynasty was right, and the Han people should not be so open to accept the backward customs and habits of those foreign races.
No matter what he was thinking, Li Shimin should continue to shop the street, no, soon, he saw a new situation.
From afar, he saw a few people arguing with a merchant, the appearance of the merchant, at first glance, it was a foreigner, it should be a person from the Murwei Department, the Chinese language is not good, every time he shouts two sentences, the Han guy next to him will help him translate, looking at the appearance of the guy, it seems that he is very afraid of the arrogant guests.
"Your Majesty, it is Zhang Biao, the general of Zuowu Hou Zhonglang, he wants to take a tiger skin from the merchant shop of Murowei for nothing, and the merchant of Murowei wants him to give money, but he refuses to give it, as a result, in the scramble, the tiger skin was torn apart, and now, General Zhang Biao wants to leave, and is stopped by the merchant of Murowei."
Seeing Li Shimin watching from the sidelines, the secret guard in charge of security immediately appeared to explain to him what had happened.
"Your Majesty, the minister impeached Zuo Wuhou Zhonglang General Zhang Biao for the crime of robbing merchants and disrupting the market, and he should be taken down and dealt with immediately."
In the face of the current situation, Wei Zheng naturally did not forget his own work, and immediately spoke out.
Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu answered, "Don't worry, don't worry, Lord Wei is not in this commercial street every day, Your Majesty, not all on the street, and like this situation, the street may appear every day, let's see, the person in charge of managing here, how to deal with it, and then it's not too late to make a decision." โ
Li Shimin listened to Sun Xiangfu's words, felt that what he said was very reasonable, waved his hand to let the secret guards retreat, and continued to stand in the distance, looking at the scene in front of the store that was about to fight.
Suddenly, the onlookers and the people of Shanyang lost their interest in watching, because they knew that when the people from the Public Security Bureau came, it meant that the matter was about to end, but only some Hu businessmen or family members of officials who had just come to Shanyang City continued to watch the excitement.
"Noisy parties, come with us!" As soon as the captain arrived, he spoke.
When the Wei merchant saw the soldiers coming, he was immediately overjoyed, and after explaining a few words to the guys, he was about to leave with the soldiers, but Zhang Biao didn't do it.
"Who are you? Is it a patrol officer who manages street policing? This official is Zhang Biao, the general of Zuowu Hou, and asked your Shangguan to come to see me. โ
"Hello General Zhang, below is Liu Qiang, the street patrol team of the Shanyang Public Security Bureau, our Shangguan is going to sit in the office according to the regulations of the Governor's Mansion, or please take a few steps and go to the office hall of our branch office to meet our Shangguan, because, according to the public security management regulations of the Public Security Bureau, you are now a suspect in disrupting the order of the market." The captain of the soldiers is polite and courteous.
"Presumptuous, the fourth-grade military attache of the imperial court in the future, what kind of security bureau are you, what rank and what level? Dare to take me? Zhang Biao seemed to have heard something ridiculous, and yelled at Liu Qiang in annoyance.
"Hehe, it's better for the general to cooperate with our work, our security department, but we have the right to deal with all public security incidents in Shanyang City, this is the right given to the security department by the metropolitan governor, if you disobey the decree of the metropolitan governor, I am afraid that you will be guilty of one more degree at that time."
"Hmph, this general is a fourth-grade military attache of the imperial court, except for Your Majesty, who can convict this official, and don't pull the banner to bluff me, and most of you governors have no right to dispose of me."
Zhang Biao didn't shake Liu Qiang at all, and was about to leave the scene with his hands behind his back, but Liu Qiang stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Are you sure you want to fight against the law?" โ
"What can you do to me?" Zhang Biao looked at Liu Qiangdao almost uncontrollably.
"In that case, don't blame it." When Liu Qiang said this, he changed his grim face and said, "Come on, take down those who resist the law on the spot, and those who resist the law by force will not be killed or injured." โ
"Brush Brush ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
The blades of a team of soldiers were aimed at Zhang Biao and his party in a circle, and there were even a few crossbowmen with crossbows, raising their crossbows in their hands, this thing is quasi-war-level equipment, at present, the imperial court is only equipped with the Xuanjia Army and the expeditionary army, however, Zhang Biao, as a fourth-grade military attache of the imperial court, also knows how powerful this thing is.
"Squatting on the ground, holding your head, don't do the three counts, don't blame us for the crossbow arrows and spears."
"One."
As Liu Qiang shouted the first number, the soldier with the spear immediately stepped forward, his body sank, and Zhang Biao, who was used to the army, knew that this was the rhythm of his all-out assassination.
"Two."
As Liu Qiang shouted out the second number, several people with crossbows adjusted the shooting angle, and the index finger was already on the trigger, which was less than a meter away, and no one could avoid the shooting of the crossbow arrows, and their arrows were all aimed at the legs or hands of Zhang Biao and his party, it seemed that when Liu Qiang's three words were shouted, they would immediately pull the trigger, making Zhang Biao and his party lose their combat effectiveness.
"Okay, okay, if you're ruthless, I'll just go with you!"
Zhang Biao's forehead had been frightened by Liu Qiang, and at this time, he somewhat understood Shanyang's situation, which was very different from Chang'an!
"Wouldn't it be nice to be so knowledgeable, handcuffed."
As soon as Liu Qiang waved his hand, several soldiers with spears immediately put away their guns, took out an iron cuff from their waists, grabbed the wrists of Zhang Biao and a few people, and put the cuffs on it, and in an instant, the iron ring clicked to death on one of their wrists.
"You dare to use torture instruments on me?"
"You are a suspect now, and the handcuffs and locks are people like you, once the punishment is awarded, it is not just as simple as locking, but you may also have to eat shaved noodles."
Cutting noodles is one of Shanyang's delicacies, cutting the noodles with a blade into boiling water, is the most direct way for everyone to make noodles to eat, however, when the board of the Sheriff's Department beats people's butts, it is very similar to the scene of cutting noodles.
Zhang Biao didn't know the allusion here, in the laughter of some Shanyang people who were watching, his wrist was pulled behind him by two soldiers, and then, he was buckled by another iron ring.
No one is strong in the situation, even if Zhang Biao is annoyed, he can't resist, he wants to see how a mere Shanyang Public Security Bureau dares to deal with him as a military general from the fourth rank of the imperial court.
Several people were escorted by Liu Qiang's soldiers, and walked to a house with soldiers standing guard in the middle of the commercial street, where it was the branch of the Public Security Bureau in the commercial street, and there were several such branches in Shanyang City.
Sun Xiangfu, who was watching the excitement from a distance, said to Li Shimin, who was also watching this scene with relish, "Your Majesty, let's go over and have a look!" โ
"That's exactly what I mean."
In fact, by now, Li Shimin and the others already know that Shanyang has a complete set of ways to deal with similar incidents, and when they see the soldiers of the Public Security Bureau, they are like seeing the savior-like expressions, and they know that this Public Security Bureau, these lowly businessmen should be able to get a fair punishment.
It's just that everyone is curious about how the Public Security Department will deal with Zhang Biao in the end.
After a while, everyone came to the Commercial Street Branch of the Public Security Bureau, Liu Qiang, the so-called Shangguan who sat on duty, was the director of this branch, Sun Xiangfu remembered that his name was He Weiwen.
Shanyang's Public Security Bureau is built more uniquely, the hall where the case is handled is like the shops on the street, everyone can see what is happening inside at a glance, the design of this yamen, naturally Sun Xiangfu came up with it, he just wants everyone to see that the government is fair, and let the people tell all the injustices at will.
After all, Zhang Biao fought against the soldiers of the Public Security Bureau, so there were many people who came to see the excitement, and the people who surrounded the door covered up the figures of Li Shimin and several people.
Things like this, a month or two after the official opening of the commercial street, have rarely appeared in Shanyang, and for the Public Security Bureau to deal with some more normal public security disputes, the people of Shanyang have become numb to watch, it is not as interesting as going to the street to listen to people's stories, only when the martial arts show is staged, everyone is willing to come over to see.
Li Shimin and Sun Xiangfu stood in the middle of the people, and they didn't make a sound, quietly watching He Weiwen in the hall to judge the case.
Soon, He Weiwen asked the identities and names of the two, and did not look at him a few more times because of the identity of Zhang Biao's Zuowu Hou Zhonglang General, but first asked the Murwei merchant Hanuer about the whole thing, which was roughly equivalent to the information reported to Li Shimin by the secret guard.
After asking Hanuer, He Weiwen asked Zhang Biao again, Zhang Biao did not deny what Hanuer said, after all, that is the truth, many people on the street and in the store saw that he lied, but fell into his identity.
Since the facts are clear, then the case will be easy to handle, He Weiwen asked Hanuer, "What is the price of the tiger skin in your store?" How many customers were affected at the time? โ
Hanuer muttered for a long time, and on the side, there was a person in charge of the translation of the Public Security Bureau, "He said that the price of tiger skin was ten yuan, and there were five customers in the store at that time, but because Zhang Biao quarreled with him, the customers left." โ
"Well, I know." He Weiwen nodded, and then turned to Zhang Biaodao.
"General Zhang, in my Shanyang, robbing shops and goods is a serious violation, since you have admitted it, then, according to the regulations, the lower officials should take you into custody and report to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion for punishment, don't doubt the power of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Your Majesty gave the Metropolitan Governor full power, even if he betrays you and exiles you for three thousand miles, you have to bear it.
However, because of the trivial matter of ten yuan of money, it is really not worth it to let you lose your official position and become an exiled prisoner, after all, you are also a meritorious man who has shed blood for the country and contributed to it, otherwise, if you promise to give Hanur a certain amount of compensation, the lower official will come forward to help you agree, and the compensation is negotiated, as long as you apologize again and get his understanding, this matter can be turned into a big thing and a small matter, so it will not affect the future of the general. โ
He Weiwen's set is completely the core idea of the police in later generations to deal with civil disputes, focusing on mediation, turning big things into small things and small things.
However, Zhang Biao, who came from Chang'an, didn't eat him, and looked at He Weiwen like a fool, "I didn't hear it wrong!" Do you want me to give him a small businessman of different races to lose money, and apologize? Is this possible? Our meritorious ministers of the Tang Dynasty are not even as good as foreign businessmen with low status? I want to see if it is the law of your family's governor or the law of my Tang court. โ
"The lower official advises you to be cautious, whether it is the law of Datang or the public security management regulations of Shanyang, robbery is prohibited, this matter, as long as it is reported to the governor of Dadu, your loss is definitely not as simple as a little money."
