After sending Zhang Xutuo away, Luo Cheng returned to the county barracks.

Fu San hurriedly ran over to report, "Fifth brother, it's not good, the fourth brother has been arrested." ”

"What's going on, you say slowly? What happened to the fourth child, and who was arrested? ”

"It's the new county lieutenant, because the fourth brother bumped into him in front of the yamen for a few words, and as a result, he asked the family to tie up the fourth brother Wuhuanda, and now he is still hanging at the gate of the county ya."

After hearing this, Luo Cheng couldn't help but have a headache.

The new Du County Lieutenant is really powerful enough, and as soon as he came, he grabbed the fourth child to remember the killing stick, which can be regarded as borrowing the fourth to establish his authority.

"By the way, Fifth Brother, you have also seen the new county lieutenant, that is, the little white face that I wanted to eat the overlord meal when the fourth sister-in-law's restaurant was newly opened last time. Unexpectedly, he was actually the new county lieutenant, and I think he is a personal vendetta. ”

"It turned out to be him."

Then this matter is even more complicated, since the new county lieutenant arrived in Zhangqiu half a month ago, he has not shown up, but he chose to show up as soon as Zhang Xutuo left today. And as soon as he showed up, he tied up the fourth strong team leader and hung him, which was even more difficult.

Killing chickens and monkeys?

"Fifth brother, hurry up and save the fourth brother."

"There's no hurry."

Luo Cheng shook his head.

Smart people can better understand the intentions of smart people, County Lieutenant Du beat Luo Si, it was definitely not because he collided with him, and it was impossible to say that it was because of the old account of the restaurant half a month ago, it can only be said that this County Lieutenant Du has another deep meaning.

Now hurrying to find this county lieutenant, not only will there be nothing to negotiate, but if it is not good, it will only let the other party take the opportunity to humiliate him, so it will not help.

"Let the fourth child hang there first, it's nothing to get a few whips, and the new county lieutenant doesn't dare to really break him, it's good to let the fourth child suffer, and he will be arrogant."

"Huh?"

Fusan was stunned on the spot.

He originally thought that after Luo Cheng heard the news, he would immediately take someone to save him.

"Ah what? You don't think I'm going to gather my brothers to go to the county office to save people, do you? The fourth child was not kidnapped by bandits, he was kidnapped by the new county lieutenant. I'm no longer acting county lieutenant, I'm just a county lieutenant, and County Lieutenant Du is my boss and the fourth boss, you have to understand this. ”

"But we don't care?"

"Of course not, since the new county lieutenant wants to establish authority, then let's let him stand up, and we'll talk about it after we finish establishing authority."

County office.

The county commander Zhang Yichen heard the movement in front of him in the back office and also rushed over.

Seeing that Luo Laosi was hung in front of the ya, and was also whipped by two family members with horsewhips, Zhang Yichen's face was twitched a few times.

"Brother Keming, long time no see!"

Zhang Yichen walked towards Du Ruhui.

"The lower officials meet Zhang Yuanjun." Du Ruhui looks like a businessman and does not reminisce about the past.

This made Zhang Yichen a little faceless, but he still smiled. He and Du Ruhui met, and the age difference between the two is not much, Du Ruhui is twenty-four, and Zhang Yichen is only in his early thirties.

Although the Zhang family's family background is not as good as the Du family, Zhang Yichen was also a very famous talent in Daxing City, and the talents naturally have a circle, and he was also familiar with Du Ruhui before, and he was still a senior.

"Keming, I was very surprised when I heard that you were coming to Zhangqiu to take up a post. It's just waiting left and right, waiting so long to arrive. As he spoke, he pointed at Luo Si, "What's going on?" ”

Du Ruhui said simply, meaning that Luo Sichong bumped into the official.

"Misunderstandings, all misunderstandings. This guy is the head of our county Yazhuang class, and he is also the captain of the Changbai Township Regiment, and he is also the head of the hook and sickle gun team of the county and county barracks. By the way, you are still the fourth brother of Luo Cheng, who was the former acting county lieutenant. ”

Zhang Yichen explained Luo Si's identity, and also intended to exonerate Luo Si.

"Oh, really?" As a result, Du Ruhui didn't seem to understand, but just ignored it.

"Brother Keming, just forget about the whips of this guy." Zhang Yichen said again.

No matter how Luo Cheng refused his kindness, after all, Zhang Yichen also regarded the Luo brothers as his team.

"Envoy, I am new to the world today, and I dare to make a request."

"You say."

"This Luo Si is arrogant, and the lower official feels that he is not suitable for the position of the head of the Zhuang class, and I ask the envoy to agree to the lower official to remove this person from the position of the head of the strong class!" Du Ruhui made a request that gave Zhang Yichen a headache.

Okay, embarrassed.

If you don't agree, it's also difficult.

On the one hand, he is at the bottom of his own team, and on the other hand, he is a new colleague who has come to join the team.

"Knowing mistakes can improve Mo Dayan, why don't Brother Ke give him a chance to reform himself, in fact, this Luo Si is usually a little vulgar, but he still has the ability, and he has indeed made great contributions to quelling chaos and suppressing bandits before."

Du Ruhui refused to give this face.

"Since Luo Si has the ability to suppress thieves and bandits, then I think he can stay in the county barracks, and the Yamen Zhuangban is not suitable for him here."

At this point, he just refuses to compromise.

Zhang Yichen can't offend the new county lieutenant for the sake of a squad leader, especially since this county lieutenant is still the son of Jingzhao Du's family and the grandson of Shangshu of the Ministry of Works.

So, between three words.

Luo Si was dismissed from the position of the head of the Zhuang class, and after he had been whipped with twenty lashes, he was ordered to be put down by Du Ruhui, and then driven him out of the yamen.

Zhang Yichen was dissatisfied, but a little helpless.

In this Zhangqiu County, although Zhang Yichen is the chief official of the county order, the relationship between the county order and the county lieutenant is not so simple.

From the central to the local, the Sui Dynasty divided official positions into four classes according to their areas of authority and responsibility, namely, the prefect, the general judge, the judge, and the hook inspector.

The prefect is the official of the seal, for example, in Zhangqiu, the county order is the prefect.

The general judge is the judge who examines and proposes to adjudicate, the judge is the judge, and the check is the prosecutor, which is the fourth-class official system.

Specifically, in a county, the county magistrate is the prefect and must bow to the prison lawsuit. The county magistrate is the general judge, the county commander is in charge of the prison lawsuit, and the county lieutenant is the judge, personally handling the affairs and dividing the public Cao. The main book and the record are the check-off officer, and the master bookkeeper is in charge of the check-in, the provincial department is copying, and the correction is not violated.

For example, if there is a case in the county, the step is to first accept the complaint by the record or the main book, register the first date of acceptance, check the content of the complaint and the facts of the case, and if there is no mistake, the case file will be handed over to the magistrate's county lieutenant for trial.

On the basis of further ascertaining the facts according to the contents of the complaint, the county lieutenant shall make a judgment in accordance with the law, and submit the judgment result to the judge and the county magistrate for deliberation and review.

On the basis of reasoning and judgment, the county governor further deliberates whether the facts of the case are clear, evaluates whether the suitability of the law is correct, and if the county governor judges that there is no mistake, he will make a judgment and petition the prefect for a decision.

If it is found that the judgment of the county is improper, the judgment will be drafted after the law is corrected and the prefect will be petitioned for decision.

After the prefect's order is reconsidered, if it is considered that the proposed husband is wrong, the decision will be made, and if there is doubt, he will either try it himself or order the relevant undertaker to retry it.

If the magistrate has the power to make a judgment, it will be judged in accordance with the law, and if it does not have the power to make a judgment, it will be determined in accordance with the law and sent to the superior for review.

This is the fourth-class bureaucracy.

Not only the lawsuit, but in fact, all the affairs of the entire county government are handled according to this model.

That is to say, it is divided into four parts, which are accepted and checked in advance, and then transferred to the county lieutenant, who disposes of it, and then the main book is supervised, and the county is reviewed again, and finally handed over to the county magistrate for reconsideration or not.

It's an office process.

The county order is the largest, but the four have their own division of labor and cooperate with each other and restrain each other.

When a matter is disposed of, it must be disposed of one level at a time and the name should be signed.

The record is signed to be inspected, the county lieutenant is the advisor, the county and the county order are all judged, and finally the last check procedure of the main book must be passed, and if there is no final check by the check inspector, then the procedure is not legal.

This is similar to the three provinces and six ministries of the imperial court.

The resolution of Zhongshu Province, the review of Menxia Province, and the implementation of Shangshu Province.

The chief bookkeeper not only checks the affairs but also supervises the officials.

Although the chief official is in charge of the whole county, he is also subject to the constraints of several other adjutants.

As a judge, Du Ruhui is the person in charge of the specific affairs of the two rooms and three ya, and he said that Luo Cunxiao will be fired, and Zhang Yichen will also have to give face.

"Send the head of the Luo team to the county barracks." In the end, Zhang Yichen could only call a few officials to send Luo Cunxiao, who was whipped and injured, to Luo Chengna.
