Chapter 40: The First Entry into the Prairie (1)

Above the public court, Xu Qing said a word, and the two officials held more than sixty volumes of files and put them next to Xu Qing. Two large wooden plates, piled up spiky and full. Xu Qing stroked those files, and then arched his hand towards the four county orders who were also in the hall:

"Ladies and gentlemen, here are the lawsuits accumulated by the people of this state who have crossed the level to petition, and there are all four counties in Cangzhou. These lawsuits were accumulated before you took office, and this time I called you here to deal with these miscellaneous matters cheaply......"

The four of them said in unison: "Obey the instructions of Lord Shi." ”

Xu Qing didn't say a word, he touched a file, because Xu Qing had read these files twice and was more familiar, so he finished reading a volume at a glance and ten lines, and said to the priest of the torture room who was waiting in the hall:

"Bring Nanpi County's bitter proposition three and Li Si up......" After a while, two people came down from the hall, knelt down, and said, "The villain Zhang San and Li Si meet their parents." ”

Xu Qing didn't seem to care about the two bitter masters in the hall, continued to pick up a dossier and read it, and asked in his mouth: "You said that your neighbor Li Si robbed your wooden warehouse, what evidence do you have?" ”

Zhang San opened his mouth to tell the case, and Xu Qing listened while continuing to pick up the file in his hand and browse quickly, looking for a clever way to break it. After Zhang San finished talking about the case, Li Si was about to argue, but Xu Qing stopped and asked, "What do you two use this wooden warehouse to hold?" ”

Zhang San said: "Load rapeseed." ”

Li Sidao: "Load the millet." ”

After the two finished speaking, Xu Qing said without hesitation: "I don't know if the words of the two of you are true or false, wait for me to try Mucang in the first instance." Bring the wooden warehouse up and hit twenty boards! ”

When everyone heard this, they were first shocked, and then they laughed in their hearts. The torture chamber official was also stunned, and reminded: "Your Excellency, Mu ...... Kikura is not a human ......"

"How could I not know? Bring it on and hit the board! Xu Qing was undoubtedly authentic.

The three or two servants lifted the wooden warehouse up, picked up the water and fire sticks and crackled on the wooden warehouse with a few boards, and the people present were all curious, what is this Lord Shi doing?

I saw that Xu Qing didn't blink his eyes to the file, and he didn't look at the strange drama in the hall. After beating twenty sticks, Xu Qing asked, "What's in the warehouse?" ”

The official stepped forward to take a look and replied: "There are rapeseed ...... in the warehouse."

"Okay, this case is decided, and Mucang will be awarded to Zhang San."

At this time, everyone had already realized that the wooden warehouse was only to knock out the hidden in the cracks of the wooden warehouse, so as to argue who its owner was. For Xu Qing to come up with this method in an instant, he couldn't help but shout admiration in his heart.

Xu Qing has another case in his hands, Wang Wu has a son, who went out to the Zhao family in his early years, and now, Wang Wu wants to take his son back.

Wang Wu said that the grace of birth is greater than the grace of the child, and the son should be allowed to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors, and Zhao Liu said that the grace of the child is greater than the grace of the birth, and the grace of more than ten years of nurturing has long turned the clear water into thick blood, and the son should return to the Zhao family, and the son no longer knows Wang Wu, and he does not want to recognize the biological father who suddenly came out.

After the two of them finished their bitter feelings, they were not convinced, first accusing each other, and then they even quarreled in court. Xu Qing frowned and drank: "Someone!" Drag them down to the staff for sixty. ”

The officials made a gesture to pull the two down, Wang Wu and Zhao Liu were suddenly frightened, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "The master spares his life......"

Xu Qing made a stop gesture, the official saw it, retreated, Xu Qing said: "According to the ancient law, the step-children can only be within the five suits of the sect, if there are people who adopt children with different surnames, those who give them for adoption, and those who raise them will have sixty rods." ”

Wang Wu and Zhao Liu were all terrified when they heard this, and knelt down together and said: "This little people don't know, beg the old parents to spare their lives, and judge for the two of us, as long as they are not punished by the rod, we will listen to everything." ”

Xu Qing continued to look through the remaining files at the moment, and said in his mouth: "The example is to return to the sect, the surname is difficult to mess with, Zhao Liu's adoption of a child with a different surname is already a violation of the law, it is not righteous, how can it be judged by the kindness of life, and the sentence is returned to Wang Wu......" Wang Wu and Zhao Liuduo glanced at each other, and could only receive the judgment.

As for the four county magistrates next to him, they once again gave Xu Qing a big "service". Zhan Zeng, in particular, is that others are not clear about the risks of this case, and as a senior in officialdom, he knows it well. The dispute case is a matter of ethics and is very difficult to judge, and if you can't get the people to scold it, the imperial history will be held accountable if you hear it.

But Xu Qing settled the two of them in one sentence, and it was even more reasonable to judge the case, and it was even more rare to make a decision in a moment, which had to be extremely admirable.

Everyone looked at Xu Qing's handwritten verdict, their eyes did not stop, their mouths fell, and their ears listened to the verdict, and there was nothing wrong with the verdict. Any difficult case, when it comes to Xu Qing's mouth, it will be solved in a few words.

Even if the defendant is a bandit who has disappeared or a runaway family, Xu Qing can appease the plaintiff and sentence a result acceptable to the plaintiff.

Envy and power are used together, and there is a degree of relaxation. But after seeing Xu Qing's trial of each case, the people who listened to the verdict were all convinced and kowtowed again and again.

Zhan Zeng and the others were only amazed, Xu Thorn Shi was really a genius! The Pang Tong decision in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is nothing more than that......

It didn't take long, but seeing that the file next to Xu Qinggong's case was like a mountain, dissolving like ice melting and snow, and finally the remaining volumes, Xu Qing looked up and saw that it was still early. The people outside the door had already been dumbfounded. His legs were numb from standing, and he refused to move a step.

When the last case was finished, all the people knelt down in unison and shouted:

"Long live, Lord Qingtian!"

Xu Qing smiled, shook his head and said Fortunately, in the Tang Dynasty, the word "long live" was not reserved for the emperor, otherwise something would really happen.

The case has been tried, and the impact of the triable case continues to spread. With the caravan that went out from Cangzhou, the story of "Cangzhou Assassin History Daily Trial of 100 Cases" was spread to all parts of Hebei. Moreover, the farther it spreads, the more legendary it is, and it is said that Xu Qing is a star who descends to earth, can go up to the heavens, go down to find the underworld, and have three thousand ghosts under his command to inspect the world, and eight hundred immortals to patrol Qingming.

Otherwise, how can one judgment be accurate, and one sentence and one obedience?

The people held Xu Qing high, and naturally some people were unhappy. After Liu Mo listened to the report of his subordinates, he slapped the pen in his hand on the table:

"Hmph, a yellow-haired kid dares to play with the criminal law, it's just disrupting local education!"

Liu Mo is the second assistant official who is subordinate to the official Zhengyin, and the so-called name is not right, and he is also holding back his grievances. I wanted to take advantage of the opening of the three fires to earn some fame and prove myself, but I didn't expect that this limelight was stolen by Xu Qing, and no people thought of his merits at all.

It's just that he didn't earn the limelight, and his "grave-digging" behavior offended many subordinates, but he really lost his wife and soldiers. It annoyed him......

The master was unhappy, and the dog naturally had a crooked idea to dissipate the master's anger: "Lord Liu, do you want to send a message to ......?"

He meant to post a message to criticize Xu Qing. If it is put on ordinary people, it may be difficult to be promoted, and it will be a political stain......

"Alas~ He did something practical after all, or I brought it up first, if I blame him for being inconsiderate, it will inevitably make my colleagues in southern Hebei laugh." Liu Mo is also an old man in officialdom, greedy for fame and fortune, but also sober-minded, knowing that it is not good to attack Xu Qing with this matter, Xu Qing is now very prestigious in the hearts of the people.

The dog couldn't make a plan, so he had another plan: "The situation in Youbei is tense, the number of soldiers has increased, the salt is already insufficient, and the share apportioned from above is quite ......, since Xu Tingshi is so capable."

Liu Mo squinted slightly, thinking, "You mean ......"

The dog continued the above words and continued: "You can let Xu Tingshi do this, the above only needs 5,000 catties, we can ask him for 10,000 catties, so ......"

Liu Mo's eyes lit up when he heard this, he wanted 10,000 catties, handed over 5,000 catties, and 5,000 catties fell into his hands, 5,000 catties of salt, that's a baby, Liu Mo asked again: "But can he make up a lot of salt?" ”

"Adults don't know, there is a salt mountain on the boundary of Cangzhou! If you can't make it up, don't you just let the adults ......"

"There's a salt mountain?! That's just right...... He can learn from Pang Tong to try cases, I see if he can learn from Zhuge Liang to borrow arrows! Liu Mo said viciously. The share of 5,000 catties of salt is indeed difficult to complete in Liu Mo's hands, there is a salt mountain in Cangzhou, such a thing, if you don't shirk it to Xu Qing, who else can you shirk it?

10,000 catties of white salt! Five days! Look at how Xu Qing borrowed it!

In the past, the output of Yanshan was only 100 catties a day, and the sales volume could not be expanded, and the stock of Cangzhou was only 3,000 catties. According to this data, four thousand catties can't be made up in five days!

If you can't get it together, it is dereliction of duty, and if you derelict your duty, you have to be punished, so Liu Mo has the opportunity to borrow Xu Qing to take the position. The official level crushed people to death, Liu Mo's order was reasonable and reasonable, and Xu Qing was powerless to refuse.

The county order of the broken family, the words of the Fu Yin who destroyed the door were placed on the body of Xu Qing, who was also Xu Qing, and it was also imprinted. Of course, the premise is that Xu Qing is really as ordinary as Liu Mo thinks in his heart.

But this difficult salt supply task, put it on Xu Qing, isn't it as simple as getting together 10,000 catties of mud?

The production of sea salt has already entered the mass production stage, with a daily output of 500 catties, and it has been saving. Why are you saving? One doesn't want to compete with the Huang family for profit, and the other owes Li Yuan the salt, so he has to find a way to save it and pay it back, right?

After the caravan in Cangzhou increased, Xu Qingcai released a part of it to stabilize the price of salt, and now there are more than 6,000 catties in the warehouse. Coupled with the output of Yanshan, Xu Qingbai got thirty percent, and the number of 10,000 catties could be collected in just one day.

The question is, is the salt sent by Xu Qing this time counted as on Li Yuan's account?

That's right, that's what Xu Qing thought when he received the document from Liu Mo. After struggling for a long time, the person who sent the letter asked Xu Qing to give a reply, saying that if Xu Qing was in trouble, he could let him report to the deputy chief manager.

Xu Qing smiled secretly, 10,000 catties of salt, put it elsewhere is simply a dead hand, if the return is useful, it will not be all apportioned on his head at all.

I don't know why this unmasked deputy head manager is like this to Xu Qing.

In short, Xu Qing has to accept this matter if he wants to, and he has to accept it if he doesn't want to. Xu Qing groaned for a while, and said to the person who asked for a reply:

"If you return to Lord Liu, just say that 10,000 catties of salt is no problem, and I will deliver it to ...... within three days."

"What? Three days? ”

"The military situation is changing rapidly, there is a shortage of salt on the front line, there is no room for delay, and the salt is not even in three days, I will resign immediately!"
