Fang Yuan killed the bully Weng Xiang of the Weng family in public, and immediately became famous as the Letters and Visits Office. In the following days, there was an endless stream of people who came to the petition office to deliver the complaint mailbox, and at least dozens of complaint letters were received every day.

Fang Yuan ordered Qin Zhan's Jinyi Wei Qianhu Office to be responsible for the trial and investigation of the case of the Letters and Visits Department.

In general, Fang Yuan adopted the legal principles before the crossing.

However, in all civil dispute cases, mediation is the mainstay, and in principle, it is inclined to the weaker party;

In criminal cases, the punishment and compensation are equally severe, causing disability, and the scope of compensation varies from one tael to fifty taels depending on the severity of the injury; In the event of death, the compensation shall be capped at a maximum of 100 taels of silver.

In all homicide cases, on the premise of obtaining the forgiveness of the victim's family, a lighter punishment may be given; If the victim's family does not understand, they will all take their lives for their lives, and there is no room for leniency.

Jin Yiwei handled the case, at least two people traveled, and supervised each other.

Fang Yuan announced the general principle, and the other details were left to Qin Zhan, who had rich experience in Jinyi Guard, to decide for himself. He repeatedly ordered Qin Zhan that his party had not yet gained a firm foothold in the four mansions of Nanjing, and he must correct the work style of Jinyiwei.

Once there is any complaint against Jinyiwei's law enforcement, the social impact is slight, and the colleagues who jointly handle the case, as well as the leaders at the next higher level, are jointly and severally liable; If the social impact is bad, the colleagues who jointly handle the case, as well as the leaders at the upper two levels, shall be jointly and severally liable, up to Qin Zhan himself.

There are penalties and rewards, Fang Yuan also has performance appraisal indicators for Jinyiwei, and will conduct performance appraisal every month according to the number of cases handled by each Jinyiwei, the efficiency of case handling, and the complaint rate of case handling.

Jinyiwei, who passed the performance appraisal, was paid a monthly performance salary of three taels of silver per month, plus the basic monthly salary of five taels of silver, which reached eight taels of silver, which was already higher than the monthly salary of government officials, which was regarded as a disguised high-salary and honest maintenance policy.

In order to generate income for Jinyiwei and balance Jinyiwei's financial deficit, Fang Yuan directly stipulated that each case could collect 10% of the total amount of case-handling funds from the party who lost the case or lost money. In this way, we can solve the problem of funding for the operation of Jinyiwei, and secondly, we can curb the situation of false accusations and indiscriminate accusations.

Fang Yuan ordered Qin Zhan to post all the principles of Jinyiwei's handling of the case directly on the bulletin board of the Letters and Visits Office, and arranged for special personnel to explain the various provisions to the people of Suzhou without interruption.

The success of the petition mailbox is not only related to the system, but also related to the efficiency and style of Jinyiwei, Fang Yuan found Qin Zhan, and the two walked around the creek of Canglang Pavilion.

Fang Yuan stared at the green water surrounding the mansion, as well as a few egrets on the water, and said, "Fourth, follow me for so long, I haven't treated you badly!" ”

Qin Zhan heard that he had something in his words, and hurriedly said, "I have always regarded the boss as the most admired brother, even if he sends me to the Sword Mountain and the Sea of Fire, he will not frown." ”

His words were not casual sycophants, at least in front of Xuanfu Town, he was brave enough to take on the heavy responsibility and ventured into Xuanfu Town instead of Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan said lightly, "Fourth, our brothers came here together from the sword mountain and the sea of fire, so there is no need to say polite words. When I arrived in the world of flowers in Jiangnan, the temptation was too great. Jing Jie: They have been in the pavilion, and in the future, I will arrange for them to be stationed in the barracks, and the temptation will be even less. But the Jinyi Guard is often active in Suzhou City, can you withstand the attack of sugar-coated shells? ”

Qin Zhan was suspicious of him for no reason, and said unhappily, "My fourth brother is a little greedy and lustful, but when did the task assigned by the boss not be completed?" ”

Fang Yuan was still not at ease, and he had to emphasize to him again the seriousness of this petition system, "Fourth, it's not that I don't believe you, but the implementation of this petition system has a far-reaching relationship!" When we came to Jiangnan, those gentry and rich businessmen were not convinced, so they waited for us to get out of the basket and then waited for the opportunity to make waves. ”

"Speaking of proximity, this affects whether we can win the hearts of the people, gain a foothold in the four provinces, and gain a firm foothold; Speaking of the distance, the four prefectures of Nanjing are our first base area, if this base area is full of undercurrents, let alone the northern expedition to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the southern extermination of pirates; Besides, if you are far away, even the people of the four provinces cannot be managed well, let alone create a peaceful and prosperous world where the country is strong and the people are rich, and the people live and work in peace and contentment! ”

He expressed his ambition to Qin Zhan in a serious tone, Qin Zhan took out the embroidered spring knife, cut off a strand of hair, handed it to Fang Yuan, and said in a deep voice, "My fourth brother doesn't know what the people's will is, the peaceful and prosperous world, and will only listen to the boss." I will cut my will now, and make a military order in front of the boss, if there is a slight difference, my life will be returned to the boss! ”

"Fourth, please!"

Fang Yuan took his cut hair and put it in his arms, his gaze fell on the stream again. If power loses supervision, corruption will inevitably occur, and this is by no means determined by Qin Zhan's loyalty or not.

At present, it is the beginning of everything, there is no clue, it can only be tossed by Qin Zhan for the time being, and in the future, after straightening out all military and political affairs, Fang Yuan will still set up a clean government office to strengthen the supervision of Jinyi Wei and government officials.

The operation of the Letters and Visits Office was officially launched, and Fang Yuan's mind was once again focused on the collection of land endowments.

In fact, the collection of Tian Fu does not need the group of tax collectors in the government who are on leave, and the Jinyi Wei is enough to do it, and it has a greater deterrent effect on the gentry and wealthy merchants.

However, if you want to fight against the drug, you must first find the information that the gentry and wealthy merchants in Suzhou Prefecture occupy the land.

Fang Yuan asked again, "Is there any progress in the case of Jinyiwei's premises?" ”

After more than ten days of investigation by Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei still found some clues, Qin Zhan hurriedly reported to him, "Three of the five Jinyi Guards who died had families and rooms, but since the five Jinyi Guards died, two family members also died in accidents at the same time, and none of them survived. Only the family members of Captain Lexing of the Jinyi Guard, perhaps alerted in advance, disappeared out of thin air and disappeared again. ”

Jinyi Wei Lexing's family members were able to escape the assassination of the gentry and wealthy businessmen, and Lexing must have been alerted and notified his family members to flee first. Since this Lexing was alerted in advance, Bacheng would transfer the land information in advance, and it was reasonable that Qin Zhan and the others did not find this land information in the burned Jinyiwei premises.

As long as Lexing's family can be found, he may be able to find confidential information about land information.

Fang Yuan asked, "Fourth, what is the background of Lexing?" ”

Qin Zhan thought for a while and said, "Jinyiwei investigated Lexing's neighbors, and they said that Lexing's ancestors were from Suzhou City for nine generations, and they held the position of hereditary captain of Jinyiwei. In his early years, his parents died, and he had a bad relationship with his relatives in the city, so he usually had little contact. His wife, Zhou, is a refugee from the north, and just last year added a pair of children who are waiting to be fed. ”

Fang Yuan groaned and said, "Then the Zhou clan should have nowhere to go after leaving Suzhou City!" ”

Qin Zhan asked, "The boss's idea is that the Zhou family is still in Suzhou City?" Otherwise, I will send Jinyi Wei to search the residence of Lexing's relatives! ”

Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "What we can think of, those gentry and wealthy businessmen would have thought of it a long time ago, if the Zhou family was hiding in a relative's house, it is estimated that they would have been sold by those relatives." Zhou should have taken the baby to hide in another hidden residence and did not dare to show his face again. ”

Qin Zhan hurriedly asked, "Then we will send Jinyi Wei to search house to house in Suzhou City?" ”

Fang Yuan was quite dissatisfied with his simple and rude practice of wantonly trampling on the privacy and dignity of the people, and said unhappily, "Fourth, you are disturbing the people, if the search does not result again, how can public opinion explain?" ”

Qin Zhan honestly stopped, and Fang Yuan said again, "Instead of going to search house to house, it is better to ask the Zhou family to take the initiative to come out to see us." ”

Qin Zhan hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll go to the bulletin board and post the notice immediately." ”

Fang Yuan said angrily, "Fourth! This Zhou family has just died of her husband, how dare she go out frequently? It is estimated that it is a last resort to go out, to purchase daily necessities, how can you go to the bulletin board with a large flow of people to see what notices? ”

Qin Zhan nodded and said, "It's still the boss thinking ahead, so how should we find the Zhou family?" ”

Fang Yuan stood up and said to Qin Zhan, "Fourth, five people have died in Jinyiwei, as the person in charge of Jinyiwei's thousands of households, should you hold a grand ceremony in Suzhou City and parade around the whole city of Suzhou for five days and five nights?" ”

Qin Zhan suddenly said, "As long as this Dharma Dojo is done, the Zhou clan will definitely get the news and will come out to see us!" ”

Fang Yuan still shook his head and said, "No, if the Zhou clan is suspicious, he still won't show up." At the same time as the dojo was held, it was also necessary to hype that for each family member of the Jinyi Wei who died in the line of duty, the yamen would pay a pension of 100 taels of silver. Zhou's single mother, with two babies, has no source of income, how long can she support herself? One hundred taels of silver is not a small amount! ”

Qin Zhan promised repeatedly, Fang Yuan punished the children of the profiteers of the Weng family a few days ago, but a slap is not a slap, without the convenience provided by the government officials, how can the profiteers unscrupulously harm the party? What kind of new deal is it to only fight profiteers and not corrupt officials?

Fang Yuan asked again, "Who are the government officials who have been complained about the most?" ”

Qin Zhan hurriedly took out the statistics that had been prepared from his arms and said, "The government knows Li Xiaokong, twenty-three articles, and the amount involved is 100,000 taels; There is also the official Li Xiang, 15 articles, and the amount involved is 30,000 taels, all of which are related to the apportionment of taxes and bending the law for personal gain. ”

"It's all real-name reporting?"

"Real-name report!"

"Did Jin Yiwei go to verify?"

"Verified, sure."

These officials finally fell into Fang Yuan's hands, he found a reason to be furious, and said with a cold smile, "Immediately take Li Xiaokong and Li Xiangquan to the petition office in brocade clothes, and then order the person who reported it to go to the petition office to participate in the public trial." ”

Qin Zhan took the order and left, and just walked to the door, only to hear Fang Yuan say again, "Escort the whole family of the two to the petition office together!" ”
