Chapter 17 Hastily taking office
Since Liu Mu has the heart to teach his own skills, now is the time for him to show his ability to the scholars, Ye Zhao naturally doesn't mind showing it.
If Ye Zhao really has no ability, he is afraid that he will be embarrassed in front of others, but if it is just to resolve disputes and deal with county affairs and other things, Ye Zhao is not worried, no matter in his past life or present life, he has enough experience to deal with most problems.
As for what he can't handle, looking at the world, I'm afraid there are not many people who can do it, this is Ye Zhao's self-confidence.
"Liu Xiang, it doesn't matter, right?" All the way to the Sui County Ya, looking at Liu Mu who was supported by the housekeeper, Ye Zhao smiled.
"It's okay, Xiu Ming only cares about the case, and the old man rests here for a while." Liu Mu shook his head, knelt on the seat next to him and narrowed his eyes.
Ye Zhao didn't force it, since he wanted to see his own ability, let's take a look, he really needed fame now.
The previous county commander has left, because there is Liu Mu in the county, and the functions of the Sui County Commander and Liu Mu, the Liang Guoxiang, are duplicated in many places, so the transfer of the Sui County Commander is relatively relaxed, but in addition to the county Cheng being taken away, the remaining two county officials in Sui County, Gong Cao Shi, the main book, the county Zuo, the thief Cao, You Xuan, and the Yi Cao are very complete.
"Where is the county lieutenant?" Ye Zhao looked at the county officials and asked.
"The subordinate Sui County Lieutenant Wang Xing (Jiang Sheng) see the envoy." In the county office, two burly men stepped forward and bowed.
"Wait until you bring in the people who are outside the door." Ye Zhaodao.
"Whoa!" The two of them took the order and took a few county officials to let the people in.
Taking advantage of the emptiness, Ye Zhao turned his head to look at everyone: "Which one is the main book?" ”
"In the lower Suiyang master book Qian Sheng, see the envoy." A four-inquisition scribe stepped forward and bowed.
"Oh? You also have the surname Qian? Ye Zhao said with a smile: "On the way to take office, I met a Qian Fei halfway, I don't know if the money master book has ever known?" ”
"This person ...... Have you ever collided with the envoy? When Qian Sheng heard this, his face changed slightly, and he said carefully.
"Not really, this man is quite talented, and I have a good conversation with him." Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, looking at Qian Sheng's appearance, this Qian Ying didn't seem to be easy to get along with.
Qian Sheng couldn't help but smile bitterly at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and was about to answer, but a large number of people had already poured in outside the hall, Ye Zhao frowned and looked at Qian Sheng: "Suiyang is a big county, and this official knew the place before he came out, how could there be so many lawsuits?" ”
"So that you don't know." Qian Sheng smiled bitterly: "The previous county order has been in prison for a month, and in the past month, no one has accepted cases in Sui County, which has ......piled up."
Ye Zhao glanced strangely at Liu Mu, who was the old god on the side, according to the departure of the previous county commander, these things should be handled by him.
But at this time, I couldn't care so much, and nodded: "Submit the copywriting from this month, and the official will review and approve it." ”
"This ......" Master Qian looked at Ye Zhao in surprise and said: "Envoy, this is a January copy, including taxes, criminal cases, court orders, etc., is it too child's play." ”
"It's okay, if you can't approve it, approve it slowly, and try not to delay time." Ye Zhao said with a smile, since you want to test your own skills, let's take a good look.
"Whoa!" When Qian Sheng heard this, he didn't care about it anymore, and directly asked people to bring up all the copywriting from January.
In less than a moment, I saw eight county officials carrying four boxes up, and placed bamboo notes in front of Ye Zhao, although the paper was made, it was not popularized, so the copywriting these things are still recorded with bamboo paper, Suiyang is a big county, and the copywriting accumulated in a month is piled up at this moment, which is indeed a bit amazing.
"County Lieutenant Wang." Ye Zhao motioned to Qiu Chi to help him hand him the bamboo note, and said to the county lieutenant Wang Xing.
"Yes."
"I'm tired of sending someone to the inn to bring the official's family." As he spoke, Ye Zhao had already spread out the first volume of bamboo paper and read it at the same time: "County Lieutenant Jiang, let the people who have complaints outside the hall come in one by one." ”
"Whoa." The two agreed, Wang Xing sent someone to inform Ding Li, Fang Yue and others, and Jiang Sheng asked the people outside the door to line up to enter.
"Envoy, we have a complaint." The first to come in was an elderly couple, shouting as soon as they entered.
"Speak slowly." Ye Zhao didn't look up, but asked indifferently, "What do you have to complain about?" ”
"Hui Envoy, our family's ploughing cow, I don't know which immoral person cut off the tongue, this ploughing ox has no tongue, it can't farm, I'm already old, this is no ploughing cattle, how to call my husband and wife live."
"Oh?" Ye Zhao raised his head, looked at the people outside the door, frowned, and said: "This matter will be found out by the official, and you will be given justice, but this ploughing cattle is an important labor, according to the law of my Han Dynasty, those who kill cattle will be fined two thousand dollars and ten rods, and they will be imprisoned and sentenced to one month." ”
"This ......" The couple were shocked when they heard this, and looked at Ye Zhao with a frightened expression: "Envoy, this is a farming cow raised by my own family, why should I be punished for killing it?" ”
"Because ploughing cattle is an important labor, there is a clear order in the Han law that the people are not allowed to slaughter them at will, so the two of them will not have been killed, right?" Ye Zhao looked at the two of them with scrutinizing eyes.
Qian Sheng on the side wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qiu Chi.
"This ...... I...... Didn't ...... "Both of them are honest people, how have they ever seen such a battle, Ye Zhao's eyes changed, and the two of them suddenly felt that their breathing became a little unsmooth, and they were speechless.
"Envoy, I know, I know!" Outside the hall, a man shouted very actively, wanting to come in, but was stopped by the county official.
"Let him in." A smile appeared on the corner of Ye Zhao's mouth and he gestured.
There was no one to stop him, and the man rushed in quickly, and said loudly: "Envoy, I know that these two people have already slaughtered the cow, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to their house to have a look, and the turn of the head is still on the board!" ”
"Oh?" Ye Zhao glanced at the second elder whose face had turned pale, and looked at this person: "This should be their private matter, how do you know?" ”
"I saw it when I passed by their house the other day." The person who came said proudly.
"In other words, you cut off this cow's tongue." Ye Zhao continued to bow his head to review the copy, and said without raising his head, as if he had lost interest in this person.
"How can the envoy wronged me?" The man frowned.
"Wronged?" Ye Zhao took a volume of copywriting from Qiu Chi's hand, and continued to read: "This official is familiar with Qin law and Han law, although it is indeed a crime to kill cattle, but cattle that can no longer be cultivated are not included in this category. ”
"What does that mean?" Seeing that the situation was not good, the visitor wanted to leave, but he was stopped by Jiang Sheng and looked at Ye Zhao helplessly.
"Cutting off the tongue of a cow is a thing that harms others and is not beneficial to oneself, if it is not for resentment, who will do such a thing?" Ye Zhao said while reviewing the copy: "Besides, let me ask you, do you have a complaint to sue today?" ”
"This ...... There is no ......"
"And what are you doing here?" Ye Zhao shook his head and laughed.
"I came in with the villagers to see the excitement."
"The human heart is very wonderful, when you want a person to be unlucky, the more unlucky he is, the happier you will be, so, when you jump to correct the two of them, the official is already eighty percent sure that it is you, plus your performance after that, now you can basically be sure that you are the person who cut the tongue of the cow, if you want evidence, it should not be difficult, the crime requires a knife, the blood sprayed when the tongue is cut should be splashed on the clothes, you are committing the crime in a panic, there should be no time to deal with these, in addition, you can also ask where you were at the time of the crime, I don't think it's hard to verify, do you need to send someone to check it? ”
"If you make a high-ranking county official, you will also use such tricks?" The person who came said depressedly was also admitted in disguise.
"At least this official has a clear conscience, if there is no objection, County Lieutenant Wang, go to prison according to the law, and let his family compensate the second elder for his losses."
"Whoa!"
"Thank you! Make the king really ...... "The mood of the two old men has risen and fallen in such a short period ......of time, and they can't think of suitable words to praise for a while.
"Second Elder, let's go back." Ye Zhao shook his head with a smile, continued to review the copy, and said at the same time: "Next!" ”
