Chapter 92: The Thieves and the People Are Angry
Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.
It is also known that the emperor is far away, and the king is more than eight.
Zhangqiu County is not big, but it is in the county government in the center of Zhangqiu City, but there are many officials. In addition to the three heads of the county order, the county cheng, and the main book, there are also two Yin, three ya, and four old classics below.
Zhangqiu County is not a large county in Gyeonggi, so there are only two rooms and no six rooms, but these two rooms are also in charge of the specific affairs of the county.
One is to make up a household registration and send a conscription to collect taxes and collect grain, and the other is to arrest and steal and solve a disaster relief lawsuit.
And Sanya is the head catcher of the three shifts, in charge of the fast class, the strong class, and the soap class. The four old classics are the four book histories, and they are also in charge of each piece, such as the history of the warehouse, the prison, etc.
If you want to rank the officials in the county office, it is naturally the county order and the county chief book, and then the Sihu Zuo, the judicial assistant, as well as the three classes of head catchers and four book histories.
Although only the three county commanders and county officials have ranks, the rest of them are also heads, and they can be called officials.
There are officials under the officials, and the officials also have personal staff, that is, the master who is familiar to later generations, but there is no such title at this time, and there are officials under the officials, and there are helpers under the officials.
Really speaking, there are actually hundreds of people up and down in a county office.
But today, the most majestic person in Zhangqiu County is none other than Luo Cheng.
More than 200 township regiment militiamen surrounded the yamen, and all the servants and helpers below the officials and officials were found out.
In front of the county hall hall, there is a figure eight wall.
The Yamen opens to the south, and this proverb explains the exquisite characteristics of the Yamen architecture.
The buildings of the official offices in the world are all sitting in the north and facing south, in order to reflect the dignity, and the left and right of the gate of all the yamen, as usual, are divided into two brick walls, which spread out in a diagonal line along the side of the door to the left and right fronts, turning into an angle of about 30 degrees, which just happens to form a shape like a figure of eight.
The gate of the official office is open and open, and the brick wall has been transformed into an extension of the two door panels, so this has become the origin of the eight characters of the yamen opening to the south.
The eight-character wall in front of the yamen is also extremely noble, but all the emperor's holy edicts that the court wants the people to know will be posted on the eight-character gate wall, and the decrees of the government will also be posted on the wall, so that the officials and the people know everything.
Therefore, it can be said that the eight-character wall of the county government is actually the latest and most authoritative headline news in a county.
Today, all the old signs on the eight-character wall have been removed, and new notices are constantly being posted.
Wang Ziming stood in front of the wall and read the contents of the notice loudly, spreading it like the people who were watching.
In order to preach the notice.
Luo Cheng also deliberately pulled the monks from the small temples in the county town and the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple to stand together, and when they went to that station, they became more and more grand.
These monks and Taoists were originally reluctant to come to the station, but Luo Cheng asked people to tell them that after coming to one with a consistent appearance fee, the enthusiasm of the monks and Taoists was unprecedentedly high, and even a few old monks and little Taoists were pulled over to stand on the field.
Although the population of Zhangqiu County is nearly 10,000 households, but there are not many people who can read and write, this is the characteristic of the whole era, although the Ming and Qing dynasties said that the officials ruled the darkness, but the literacy rate of the people has been very high, especially at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is said that the literacy rate reached an astonishing proportion of five percent at that time.
In today's Great Sui Dynasty, the literacy rate in Zhangqiu City is estimated to be less than one percent.
Some shop apprentices barely recognize a few words, but they can't read the official notice, so Wang Ziming is not only responsible for reading, but also responsible for explaining, explaining the content in popular Zhangqiu dialect.
Those Taoist monks came to the station today, and one of their important tasks was to help preach the notice.
"Today, it is found out that Liu Shouyi was arrested for corruption and perverted the law, and he was detained for money·······"
A new notice was posted, but it was a big-character poster attacking and arresting Liu Shouyi, this person was also one of the top ten editors of the fast class in the county government, the old man of the fast class, had a bad attitude today, so Luo Cheng directly asked people to knock him down.
The notice talked about how Liu Shouyi was corrupt and disturbed the people during his tenure as a quick arrester, and he used many methods. For example, whenever there is an incident, he should be detained, he will collect money from the parties for shoes and feet, and if they have been detained, the two are willing to reconcile, and he will also ask for money for wine and meals. was ordered to track down the traces of adultery, and if he didn't get it, he had to give him a lenient amount of money. If you have obtained it and the ink covers it, you will have to buy and release money.
Every family in the city has lamp oil money every month, there is money for painting on the deed of buying and selling, and the alleys are covered with eaves, which is an illegal building, and it is necessary to collect hidden reports.
There are illegal things in the test, and at the beginning of each year and the end of the year, the wine invitation will be placed, and each family will pay for it, then it will be called a net, and it will be said that the autumn wind will be blown.
·······
"Its clever name is innumerable!"
The announcement also cited the grace of money as an example, listing one of Liu Shouyi's illegal acts.
There was a local theft, and after it was reported, the government sent a mission to investigate. However, Liu Shouyi did not investigate in detail, but directly pointed out a wealthy businessman who was relatively wealthy and had no backing near the stolen person as a nest household, and detained him for money.
Even after blackmailing this businessman, he also used the same case to extort several more.
Report a case, implicate the numbers, this they have a black word called thief blossom.
Liu Shouyi is a veteran of thieves and flowers, and several wealthy families in Zhangqiu were bankrupted by him using this kind of thief flowering methods.
In addition, it was also found that Liu Shouyi even secretly colluded with thieves to play with thieves.
He once captured a few thieves, and then instead of sending them to prison, he said to them, "Now I will take you as an apprentice, and although you are doing business, the rule of being an apprentice is to talk about a three-seven dividend." If you make a deal, I will deduct seventy percent, and you will use the thirty percent yourself. There is another use, if you go to steal something, you must always remember the door and house of the house, and you can also climb him when you touch the inlay. By the time we get it, his money will already be ours. ”
This Liu Shouyi is no longer just a thief, he is also engaged in raising thieves for his own use.
not only shielded the thieves to steal money, and then divided the dirt themselves, but even deliberately instructed the thieves to steal the money and then plant a big family, so as to extort money.
"It turns out that the Liu Jiawo case back then was such an inside story!"
Someone exclaimed.
After Liu Shouyi was taken down, he was immediately pulled out to fight, Liu Shouyi was tortured, and began to confide in more crimes.
For example, he was once bribed and bought, accused good people of being thieves, arrested, hanged, and beaten. He also worked with another arrester to take advantage of the detainer's name to take advantage of the strong bow to the party's wife, and so on, the more he vomited.
One after another, new crimes were immediately written down and then put on the eight-character wall, which was read out by Wang Ziming and several monks, and everyone knew about it.
For a while, people were angry, and they all shouted to kill Liu Shouyi!
