Not only that, but the Linjing County Ya not only refused to accept insect eggs. After we couldn't bear to beat the big drum outside the county yamen, the county magistrate refused to come out to see us, but the officials came out and drove us away with sticks. Ladies and gentlemen, we are all veterans who serve the country, how can we stand this kind of anger. All the pavilion chiefs had a fight with the officials, and they were arrested. Brother Huang and I are not afraid of things, but we feel that there is a problem here, and we must let Shangguan know. So I snuck away with my anger just for today! ”

Liu Ming hadn't finished speaking here, and there were already two rings in the auditorium over there. But it was Jiang Wei and Zhang Yi who broke the armrests of the new seats in unison. Zhang Yi stood up even more flushed, and in an instant, he rushed to Zhang Hui and kicked hard: "Piff!" What a guts! How dare you treat a warrior who serves his country like this! Is the knife of the deceitful general? ”

"Bah~~! Presumptuous, above the public court, how can you be lynched! General Cheers, please leave! ”

"Humph! Piff, I won't have to give you a good look later! Zhang Yi, who was still in a state of anger, had not completely lost his mind, and he also knew that his actions just now were inappropriate. hurriedly bowed his hand to the people in the hall and left in a hurry.

"Two pavilion masters, where did you go next?"

"Back to Shangguan, we immediately went to the Taishou Mansion to ask to see Chang Taishou."

"Bring the offender to the official!"

Then Chang Miao, who was brought up, also scolded Chang Ji as soon as he went to the court: "Chang Maotong, you cunning and mean cool official!" For the sake of fame, even his own brother dared to frame! I'm afraid that I won't be able to enter the ancestral hall in the future! ”

"Hmph, Chang Miao, your relationship with this official is at home. Above this court, there is only business. The officer asks you, do you recognize these two? ”

"This official has a lot of affairs all day long, how can he write down everyone one by one?"

"Do you recognize it?"

"I don't know!"

"Good, two pavilion chiefs, you beat the drum of the Taishou Mansion, do you receive the Taishou?"

"Nope!"

"And what happened after you beat the drums?"

"Qi Qi Lords, I'll wait until the drum is beaten. The county soldiers of the Taishou Mansion quickly came out to receive them, and they immediately spread the word inside. But soon he came back and told me that Taishou was still lying high in the house at this time, and he hadn't gotten up yet. Taishou let us come back tomorrow. ”

"Did you go the next day?"

Speaking of this, the two pavilion chiefs smiled miserably: "Ladies and gentlemen, we haven't gone far from Taishou Mansion when we see the officials of Linjing County chasing after us in the distance. How dare you go back the next day? I can't say it, I can only escape from Linjing County immediately. came directly to Hanzhong. ”

"Why did you go to Hanzhong?"

"Hanzhong and my former colleagues served as Qu Commander in the army, and it was because of his acceptance that we quickly got in touch with Chang Zhi."

"Prisoners are often reluctant, is there such a thing? Recruit truthfully! ”

Chang Miao's face changed for a while, but finally he sighed: "It's true, it's winter, and it's cold." The official suffered from a cold that day, and it was difficult to get out of bed. So let them come back tomorrow. But this official definitely did not report to the Linjing County Yafeng......"

"Bah~~! Offenders are often reluctant, and offenders are prosperous. Prime Minister Zhuge and Guan Da Sima have three orders and five declarations, and each yamen must set up a big drum. As soon as the drum sounded, as long as the chief official was still in the official office, as long as he was not sick to death, he had to get up immediately and open the door to meet the case. How do you do that? Can you be convicted? ”

“…… Always confess your sins. ”

"Chen Xi is not convinced! On that day, the official was not in the yamen at all, and he was beating the drum, how could he know about it? ”

"Humph! Of course you are not in the yamen! The official visited Linjing privately for half a month, and the local people said that you travel all day and night, and sing harmony with the children of the local family. Almost never go to the county office, and leave all affairs to the county to handle. When are you in the county government again? ”

"This ......"

"Humph! That's all for the two of you. There are other culprits to be held accountable later. Zhang Hui, are you guilty? ”

"Xiaguan...... What is the crime of the lower officials to strictly control the standards for the sake of the country's assets not to be wasted? Of course, a little bit harsh in the process, but that's a subsection......"

It can be said that Zhang Hui's methods are the methods commonly used by the families throughout the ages - the more the country is in danger, the more the people suffer from famine. The more it is an excellent time for the family to expand.

The catastrophe in Guanzhong has no harvest. At first, Sima Yan imported relief food here. After Ji Han took control of this place, he implemented the policy of exchanging eggs for food. Objectively speaking, these policies are extremely unfavorable to the big families - when the people have food, they will not sell their fields to make a living, let alone sell themselves to the estates of the big families to take refuge. As a result, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for expansion is about to slip away!

Therefore, take advantage of the opportunity that Chen Xi is extremely impatient and not good at dealing with the government. Zhang Hui gained Chen Xi's trust through superficial flattery. Successfully stole all the power in the county. Then, through various means, the people in the county were forced to not survive. After that, the Zhang family's manor will naturally be able to come out and be a good person - na, it's not that I want to expand, it's that if I don't expand, these people won't be able to live.

During the whole process, there was no corruption or bribery, and no false accounts were made. There is only one flaw in over-enforcement. In fact, it is often taboo to say that Zhang Hui is full of private pockets, and there is nothing wrong with the fish and meat villagers. But jurisprudence, the evidence is insufficient!

"Hmph, criminal officer Zhang Hui, you still have to resist until now. This official asks you, how did the people of Linjing County do it when they see that you don't collect insect eggs, and they want to go over the mountains and mountains to carry the insect eggs to the neighboring counties in the annex to pay them? ”

"Of course, I'm going to send officials to stop it. You can't let them deceive the officials of the neighboring counties. ”

"The people are angry and have a conflict with the officials, what did you do?"

"In order to save public money, the number of officials in each county is small. As a last resort, the lower officials sent the servants of the manor to help maintain order. ”

"And then?"

"Then, all these people went back."

"Hmph, it's really treacherous and shameless! Come on, bring the witness Wang San. ”

"Grass people Wang San, meet all the officials."

"Wang San, where are you from? What do you do for a living? ”

"The grass people are local people in Anfengting, Linjing County, and they make a living from farming. Before this year, there were more than 20 acres of land in the grass people's homes, and there were four people in the family, including the grass people, the mother, the wife, and the son. ”

"After your eggs were rejected by the county government and the pavilion chief was forced to flee, what happened to your pavilion?"

"Returning to all the officials, because the eggs were rejected. There was no food in the pavilion. In order not to starve to death, the strong people in the pavilion carried the eggs to the next county under the leadership of the pavilion chief's son, thinking if they could collect them there. As a result, our group of more than ten men was ambushed by the strong men of Zhangjia Manor on the road. Seven were killed on the spot, and even the pavilion chief's son, who was only sixteen years old, was also killed. The grass man was hit on the head and rolled down the mound. After waking up, he quietly went back to the T pavilion and hid. And then until I came to the main pavilion for a private visit......"

"Hehehe." Looking at Zhang Hui, whose body began to tremble, Chang Ji smiled cruelly: "I didn't expect there to be a fish that slipped through the net, right?" Do you want to say that this is the Diao Min who the official has come to frame you? Do you want the official to take you to the mound in Linjing County where seven people are buried to take a look? Do you want this king to come to your manor and identify your evil slaves? Do you want the official to bring the victims of the disaster who are now forced to join your manor to the court one by one? ”

Looking at Zhang Hui, who was already paralyzed, Chang Ji snapped and slapped the shocked wood again: "In the sixth year of Yanxing, the Linjing County Ya refused to accept the insect eggs of the victims in disguise, and the relevant officials falsely flaunted the state's policy of helping the victims, and forced the victims to sell themselves as slaves. Come on, let these prisoners sign and draw the charge! Next, at the time of spring plowing this year, Linjing County and Anding County did not make a real spring ploughing, and the case of ineffective investigation and eradication of jumping flies was heard. ”

With the core character in this series of cases, Zhang Hui's spiritual defense line was broken. The next case went much smoother. But the more this happened, the more frightened and angry the people who were listening became.

Linjing spring ploughing, Chang'an sent all the cattle into the Zhang family's manor. Ordinary people didn't get a single one.

Quyuan plough technology, did not organize the pavilion chiefs to come to the county government to study intensively.

The inventory of jumping bugs has not been carried out at all in Linjing County. At the same time, the Taishou Mansion of Anding County is lazy and inactive, and the spring ploughing, the promotion of Quyuan plough technology and the inventory of jumping flies in the counties of Anding County all depend on the conscience and sense of responsibility of the county magistrates.

Not only that, but there was indeed corruption in the process of collecting insect eggs in Linjing County: making things difficult for the eggs of the Han people, and in addition to making things difficult for the eggs handed over by other races, they also purchased them at a low price.

At the same time, in this year's spring ploughing, the Fuqu Department, which was grazing in Linjing County, repeatedly warned the Linjing County Ya and Anding Taishou Mansion. Indicates that in some sparsely vegetated places, swarms of hoppers are beginning to gather. However, the county and county governments have been extremely slow to respond.

An Ding is too conservative and Linjing County Magistrate Chen Xi is not only a problem of lazy administration. On many occasions, they accepted gifts of property, servants, and maids from local families (mainly Zhang Hui). After investigation, the cumulative amount has approached 3 million......

To sum up, the advice of the superintendent to deal with many of the above prisoners is: Zhang Hui of Linjing County, beheaded, and raided. The evil slaves under his command, who have a life in their hands, shall be beheaded together. All the land and servants in his estate were included in the national register. Linjing County Magistrate Chen Xi took bribes, was lazy and inactive, removed from his post, searched his home, and fined him 1 million yuan. He was too conservative, took bribes, neglected his administration, was dismissed, his home was raided, and he was fined two million dollars! Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any objections? ”

Liu Yongchang, the king of Ganling, sighed: "The punishment is fair, and there is no objection. What does Da Sima think? Well, Da Sima? ”

Guan Yi looked at the roof of the house blankly, only feeling tired like never before. After Liu Yong and the others called continuously, he also sighed helplessly: "Maotong handled it very well. There is no objection from the officer. On top of that, let's add three more commands. First, several pavilion chiefs who were detained and beaten, as well as righteous people who were killed, and related witnesses. According to the circumstances, the superintendent of the post office shall formulate a bereavement pension or reward, and the relevant money shall be taken from the Dasima Mansion. Second, the whole process of this case was written into the Di Bao and distributed to the whole country. It is required that in the three states and 40 counties of the country, each pavilion should organize a preaching. Third, the officials of the states, counties, and counties. Taking this as a warning, in the next period of time, we will strictly implement the provisions of the locust extermination order and strictly enforce the household tax clearance. If there is a similar incident, the punishment will be increased! ”
