Chapter 192: The county's plan
If you talk about the royal law, everyone can only eat a little money in their hands now, and what they get is like waste paper, which is equivalent to having no money, what to take to support the family, not to mention inviting the staff master, if you talk about the king law, the county government will not have a deputy white body to use, just so dozens of people are busy inside and out, nothing can be done, nothing can be done.
Besides, this Zhu Da gang is a ruthless character who dares to kill the door and set fire to the city in the city, and the civil servants in the city have been frightened, and there is no one to arrest them, but you have to ask the guilt, who will do the errand, if no one does the errand, then be sneaked in to kill and set fire at night? That's not how you play with the longevity.
Master Hu Shouqiu looked at Zhixian Ai Zhengwen with some rudeness, and said that the proprietor of his own family was also born as a master, and it is said that he was still a staff member of a certain Taoist, because this Taoist was convicted and imprisoned before returning to his hometown to take the road of scientific research, who would have thought that the sky would fall into good fortune, and he actually won the township test, so that he could be released to do this Zhixian, such a character is not a stunned young man who reads the scriptures and does not know the practice, please come over but is too lazy to do what he was familiar with back then, he used to be proficient in the practice of affairs, how did he say this, Could it be that you have lost your mind and gone crazy?
"Shouqiu, do you think I'm crazy?" Ai Zhixian asked with a smile.
Hu Shouqiu nodded subconsciously and then quickly shook his head, Ai Zhengwen said with a smile: "Do you think that the officials in the county have lost their hearts, and no one can arrest these outlaws?" Do you think that if we startle the snake, we are also in danger? Do you think that I am also an old and practical person, is it crazy to talk about the royal law? ”
"Since the proprietor thinks so thoughtfully, why is he still so planned, the students are really puzzled, and although this Zhu Da is young, he is very careful in doing things, this in and out of the county, although there are conflicts and brawls, but there are no traces in other things, people can't catch the handle, and there is no basis for arresting them, even if there is no danger of swords and soldiers, there will be trouble after being caught and tortured, not to mention that these two people are from Wei, although his father-in-law is unknown about life and death, there are also a few scholars who know him, God knows what else to do, When the time comes, there will be a disturbance, and it will be an obstacle to the proprietor! Hu Shouqiu said in a deep voice, since you can think of everything you should think of, then you can be reasonable and persuasive.
Ai Zhengwen put down the tea bowl, shook his head and smiled: "I have also heard about the deeds of Qin Chuan, a good reading seed actually went to be the mastermind of the salt owl, these routines must have been taught by him, how to avoid the royal law, how to deal with the government." ”
Although the yamen is dark, but there must be a reason to ask the common people for the crime, if it is hard to climb the accusation, unless it can suppress all aspects, otherwise there will be trouble, the local gentry can't see it, the relatives of the bitter lord go to the peak to sue, a little careless, questioned by the local gentry, questioned by the peak, the case is overturned, if you are lucky, you will be disgraced, and if you are unlucky, you will be directly dismissed and imprisoned.
This is the truth that more things are better than less things, Mrs. Ping Ping is an official, as long as it can go on for a long time, any benefits can be obtained, and there is no need to fight for the sake of momentary anger and small profits in front of him, and when he encounters Zhu Da, who understands the rules, he may have a backhand, and he will not manage money, of course, this is also Zhu Da's consideration for doing things, so that people do not need to have real intimidation or strength, so that the other party thinks that there is, or the other party thinks that there may be, it will reduce a lot of risks.
If he is a nerd who studies behind closed doors, wins the imperial examination, and is released as an official, he may not be able to endure the anger of a moment, or he has stupid righteousness in his heart to arrest Zhu Da and others, but Ai Zhengwen is well versed in practice, and he may have persuaded his proprietor for the same reason back then, how could he make the same mistake.
"Shouqiu, after I came to Huairen County, I didn't take care of things, you know this." Ai Zhengwen said leisurely, and Hu Shouqiu nodded again and again.
"The past few are the same as me, but they can't manage it, they don't know how to manage it, I'm too lazy to care, the small county town, it's nothing more than some doorways on the autumn grain, it's really boring, and the regular rules on the autumn grain have never shortened me, so what's the matter, look at the vision of those people who are doing errands below, and feel that there are mountains of gold and silver in this county, what can they have, even if they are shameless, they can have a few hundred taels of silver a year? What's more, it can't be scraped up, there is a hero here, and there is a hero over there, who cares about the official errand. Ai Zhengwen was quite relaxed when he said these words, but Hu Shouqiu knew that it was the truth, and his own proprietor didn't think much of the oil and water in the county, not to mention that the people in the sixth room were also interesting, and there was no shortage of money that should be given, so the two sides came down so vaguely and angrily.
Ai Zhengwen took a sip of the tea bowl, if there was a careful person, he could see that the middle-aged man was a little excited at this time, and after putting down the tea bowl, he said: "Zhu Da did a good business in Zheng Jiaji, this time not only made money from business, but also brought back the silver he hid. said that he brought back a few thousand taels, and the people here are shallow-eyed, but the people who have seen the ruts say that there are at least three thousand taels, and if I can get half of this silver, I can be transferred to Shanxi or Henan. ”
Having said this, Hu Shouqiu suddenly realized, wealth is moving, his own proprietor turned out to be thinking about such a big fortune, which is not surprising, the benefits of the autumn grain routine and the daily yamen are indeed not much, and there is not much left in officialdom communication and daily spending, not to mention that the proprietor Ai Zhengwen still wants to do two more terms, and does not want to make things too desperate, so making money is very decent, and this Huairen County is not a rich place, so naturally there are no benefits.
Since the Mongolian horse team entered the Kou, breaking the illusion of peace for more than ten years, the risk of Huairen Zhixian has also become much greater, this time Zhengjiaji was broken, next time if it is Huairen County, the county is responsible for guarding the land, isn't it going to hang himself, Ai Zhengwen is much more urgent about the planned transfer, but if you want to be transferred to the inland county, you have to spend extra money, and the more money you spend, the better the place.
Ai Zhengwen was a staff member back then, and his face was not bad, as long as he had enough silver, it was not difficult to be transferred to a suitable place, but it was just worse than silver, but it was not so easy to raise more than a thousand taels of cash, but there was a ready-made opportunity in front of him!
"The proprietor, firstly, there is no evidence, and secondly, these two boys are tigers and wolves, if they are not careful, they will be killed, and the manpower that can be used in this county is unreliable." Hu Shouqiu said that he was worried, the fire and the dead people last night were not fake, not to mention that they were taking people, and he also knew that the officials of the sixth room and the third class took turns to give gifts today, and no one was willing to sell his life, so there was naturally no way to talk about the follow-up.
Hu Shouqiu pointed out these points, but Ai Zhengwen said in his chest: "Last night, these 20 or so lives must be inseparable from these two boys, caught in and tortured, can ask for conclusive confessions and evidence, when the time comes, there is no possibility of turning the iron case around, as for the arrest of people, killing the official errand, setting fire in the middle of the night, this is not a murderer, this is a thief's intention to make a rebellion, it is to rebel, the county official is unreliable, then use the township Yong and group training, the place that has not been mutilated by the Tartars can still mobilize hundreds of people, even if he has three heads and six arms, Can you stop these hundreds of people? ”
"Proprietor, I'm afraid that the hands and feet of so many people will not be clean, how many are left?"
"So I only need half of it, besides, as long as the officials keep an eye on the large amount of money, Xiang Yong can't take much, and when the time comes, they will be satisfied with a few hundred taels, as for the officers, they don't have the courage to deal with Na Zhu Da, it doesn't mean that they have no hatred in their hearts, and they will move." He thinks it all round.
"Proprietor, in case that person and dog jump off the wall in a hurry, can the people in the third shift and six rooms be able to prevent it?" Hu Shouqiu is most worried about this, his life is the most important thing.
Speaking of this, Ai Zhengwen's face showed confidence, and he said with a sneer: "This Zhu Da is bold and knows the rules, so he only dares to fight during the day and dare not see blood, and only dares to kill people and set fires at night, he knew the consequences, he didn't dare to do it. ”
Hu Shouqiu nodded slowly, his own proprietor is really a senior who has been a staff member for many years, a shrewd person who can figure out people's hearts clearly, what he said just now is indeed reasonable, since he heard the name Zhu Da, he felt that this person is a smart person, does not touch the rules, but makes a fuss within the scope of the rules, such a person will not kill officials, in the great tomorrow, the clerk is a cheap servant, and it is recognized that he can be killed, and killing the official is an offense to the entire Ming Dynasty, which will attract the revenge of the entire Ming Dynasty, and the official army encircles and suppresses, It is in vain for you to be steel and iron, then Zhu Da is also a smart person, so he naturally understands this, and since he understands, he will definitely not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
"Shouqiu, from now on, let the three shifts and six rooms be on duty at the yamen, and the people with knives and sticks will transfer thirty people to protect the inner hall, and the others will patrol at all times, and they must not slack off, and when this matter is done, they will arrange the mobilization of the villagers."
Before Hu Shouqiu said his last concern, Ai Zhengwen answered this question, although Zhu Da did not dare to kill the official, what if the dog jumped over the wall and collided with the yamen or even sneaked into the assassination, the county magistrate had already had his own considerations, and he thought about it very thoroughly, which made Hu Shouqiu admire from the bottom of his heart.
"Please rest assured, the students will arrange it." Hu Shouqiu hurriedly got up to say goodbye, he was still admiring when he turned around and went out, this is the way to be an official, he can seize the opportunity that others can't see, and follow such a proprietor, it will not be bad in the future.
