If you want to get an official, you will be recruited to kill people and set fires.

In the turbulent times of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Shunming wanted to protect himself, and if he wanted to cut off a piece of venison to taste, he had to have his own troops, his own territory, and his own money.

Zhu Shunming went southwest from Shaanxi to establish a base area. Of course, there are various reasons for choosing Huguang Chengbu. The main thing is that there is room for development because of its remoteness.

There are famines in the north of the Ming Dynasty, wars are continuous, internal and external troubles are against you, and there is no pure land.

The two Guangxi are too partial, Fujian is too far away, the influence of the rich and xenophobic in Nanzhili is too great, there are many officers and soldiers in Jiangxi, Anhui is where the imperial mausoleum is located, Sichuan is in a corner, and Guizhou is too poor.

And Huguang is strange. Huguang undertook the grain production of Suhu, but its political status was not high, and it was not valued by the imperial court, and the imperial court did not have many garrisons in Huguang.

Huguang is like a buffer zone between the north and the south. Historically, the Liukou went south, at most they hit Changsha Mansion, and never entered Nanzhili or Liangguang. Later, the Southern Ming Dynasty blocked the Qing army from moving south, and also used Huguang as the front line to resist.

After the Qing army broke through Huguang, it was like a bamboo in Nanzhili and other places, and soon wiped out the Southern Ming. It can be seen that Huguang is still very important.

Isn't a place where there is food but is not valued by the imperial court a good place to establish a base area? It would be better if you could blend in with the system and wear a tiger skin.

Zhu Shunming has developed vigorously in Jiu'an Town, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is not in accordance with the rules. No landlord would raise thousands of elite soldiers, no merchant could build a city to collect taxes alone, no good citizen could privately set up a yamen to pronounce and punish criminals, not to mention that Zhu Shunming also compiled the "Provisional Regulations of Jiu'an Town" that was different from the "Da Ming Law".

Hu Xianling is like sitting on a volcanic crater. As long as Zhu Shunming's active volcano erupts, Hu County's order will be a dead end.

Hu County's order was also forced to be urgent. Get rid of Zhu Shunming? He couldn't even think about it. Let Zhu Shunming develop? Sooner or later, a conflict will break out, either with the King Min of Wugang Prefecture or with the bureaucrats of Baoqing Prefecture.

Taking advantage of Tian Baoer's matter, Hu Xianling contacted and confronted Zhu Shunming, and found that Zhu Shunming did not want to oppose it, at least not now.

That's enough! If you can't stop the volcano from erupting, you can delay it.

"The former inspection of the Chengbu Inspection Department was plotted by the mountain people and died in office. Later, no one served as an inspector, and the Chengbu Inspection Division was also deserted. Why don't you be this inspector and re-establish the inspection department. How is it? ”

Of course. The inspection department seems to be not up to grade, but it is exactly what Zhu Shunming needs.

Don't underestimate the Inspection Division. The Inspection Division is equivalent to the Celestial Empire's public security criminal investigation and armed police. The Inspection Department is responsible for the investigation of thieves and the search for culprit, the strict prevention of smuggling, and the mediation of conflicts between villagers and neighbors.

The most important thing is that with the name of the Inspection Division, Zhu Shunming can turn illegal private soldiers into legitimate inspection soldiers.

"Thank you, big brother, for your advice." Zhu Shunming bowed his hand. The somewhat confused and obscene county magistrate in front of him is an official who has never met talents.

………………

The original yamen of the Chengbu Inspection Division was in Maoping Town. Now, in front of the door of the Shunfeng Dart Bureau, a plaque of "Chengbu Inspection Division" is hung, and a group of people has two sets of preparations, which makes the originally strong unit of the Shunfeng Dart Bureau more official and more far-reaching.

The establishment of the Inspection Department is necessary to declare the Quartet.

For a time, the gangsters in the county town who were doing evil, the intertwined underground gangs, and the lower nine streamers who were shooting flowers were all wiped out, and after the verdict was pronounced, they were all sentenced to prison terms ranging from several years to several decades, and they were sent to labor reform farms.

Zhu Shunming's farms are in need of a lot of labor.

In addition to rectifying the social atmosphere, Zhu Shunming also asked Hu County to open the county government and widely receive papers to avenge the people's grievances.

Under the guise of Hu County's order, the judges and juries in Jiu'an Town directly tried the case and pronounced the verdict, and several old and confused cases were decided, and the repercussions were violent.

First, the judge's way of deciding the case is very strange and different, but it is reasonable and convincing.

Second, Hu County has been lazy for a long time, and a large number of disputes and contradictions have gathered among the people, which have not been resolved.

As soon as several cases were decided, the result was actually biased in favor of the civilian side (but in all cases, the rich class bullied the civilian class, and in the eyes of everyone, it was naturally biased in favor of the civilian side). So the paper-like snowflakes flew to the county office, and a large number of wronged civilians had the courage to sue the landlord and the old wealth.

………………

Li Laoqi's ancestors moved from Ji'an Mansion in Jiangxi Province to Chengbu County in Baoqing Prefecture, and it has been passed down for eight generations to Li Laoqi's generation.

After hundreds of years of hard work, the Li family has 10,000 acres of fertile land, dozens of shops, and hundreds of descendants.

In Chengbu County, a poor place, the family has been dominant for a long time, and it is natural to have the thoughts and actions of "here I am the king's law", and there will naturally be no shortage of conventional bullying behaviors such as bullying men and women and embezzling land and property.

"Master, master, no, the little master was arrested by the people of the Inspection Department......" The family stumbled in, anxious to report.

The little master is the meat of the master's heart, holding it in his hand for fear of falling, and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting, he was arrested by the Inspection Department, and the sky fell.

"Nonsense, is there still a royal law?" Li Laoqi raised his white beard, and was furious with his dragon head cane: "This Hu Weier is insatiable, and he dares to touch the people of the Li family?" Go, go and ask for someone. The old man wants to see how Hu Wei'er explains to the old man. ”

………………

Inspecting the Yamen, the young master of the Li family, Li Yuncai, turned pale with fright, and said stubbornly: "I am the young master of the Li family, you dare to touch me?" ”

Xiaoqi Zheng Jibi's expression was serious, and his tone was quite calm: "Li Yuncai, someone accused you of robbing a people's daughter, and the Inspection Department asked you to come to cooperate with the investigation, not to arrest you." ”

"What robbed the people's daughters? The master wants a woman, and he still needs to rob it? A lot of women are waiting for the young master to be lucky. Li Yuncai shouted: "Who is suing the master, let him come out and confront Lao Tzu face to face." ”

Zheng Jibi was a little surprised. How dare this kid confront him? Is it really a clear conscience?

"When you need it, someone will confront you. Now let me ask you a few questions. Zheng Jibi's tone was still cold: "Sit down and talk." ”

Seeing that the atmosphere was relaxed, Li Yun calmed down a little and sat opposite Zheng Jibi, his legs still trembling.

"Do you know Wen Biluo?"

"Of course I know, my fifth concubine...... I know, it must be the master who only told him when he smelled the acid, it must be him ......" Li Yuncai jumped up excitedly, very angry.

"Sit down, sit down," Zheng Jibi said, "Tell me how you two met?" And how did she get into your house? ”

The matchmaker invited by her father came to the door and said that he would give my daughter as a concubine. I wasn't happy about it. Later, when I heard that his daughter was both good-looking, I reluctantly agreed. His father received fifty taels of silver from my family. On the fifth day of the first month of last month, his father sent her to my house in a small sedan chair, and she became a parent. ”

"This girl, she looks good, but she is cold all day long. There was no interest at all in the cave room. The master shared a room that night and never touched her again. ”

"I have a concubine document and a matchmaker Ma Erpo to testify, and I am an honest concubine. How can it be a robbery of people's daughters? It really doesn't make sense. ”

He liked it when he smelled sour, and asked him to give fifty taels of silver, and this girl transferred it to him. Just he's a treasure, cold, and uninteresting. Li Yuncai smelled sour.

If what Li Yuncai said is true, it is a love triangle story. The girl's father hated the poor and loved the rich, so he married his daughter to a rich child as a concubine. The daughter is poor and sour, and she has no good face for her husband. Sour Xiucai handed the paper to the yamen, wanting to rely on the government to get his sweetheart back.

In the Ming Dynasty, where there was very little entertainment, talented women, love triangles, dislike the poor and love the rich, rich children and poor talents, lawsuits, each of which can make everyone talk about it.

On the day of the trial, the outside of the yamen was full of villagers who came to see the excitement, and the cold wind could not cool everyone's gossip enthusiasm at all.

Plaintiff Wen Xiucai was wearing a white-washed long shirt, his hair was half white at a young age, his face was resolute and confident, and his thin figure stood straight.

"Today, the plaintiff heard that Sanchuan sued Li Yuncai for forcibly robbing a people's daughter, and the trial is now open. Plaintiff, you come forward to make a statement. ”

Wen Xiucai tidied up his clothes and said confidently: "The student and the robbed girl Wen have known each other since childhood, and they are happy and have a private lifelong agreement, and they will not marry each other. ”

However, Wen's father thought that the student's family was poor and did not allow the student to meet Wen. The students had no choice but to become lovesick and wash their faces with tears all day long. ”

"At the ninth temple fair at the beginning of this month, the students received a letter from the Wen family, saying that they were forced by the young master of the Li family to be chaste...... Virginity has been lost, and the students are burned. If it weren't for the robbery, how could Wen lose his virginity? ”

"The student sued Li Yuncai, robbed the people's daughter, and raped ...... ** woman."

"Nonsense," Li Yuncai shouted: "You are really hateful to be poor, and my concubine **, you actually beat a rake." ”

"The Wen family is my fifth concubine in Xinna, and there are concubine documents to testify. There is also a matchmaker Ma Erpo who can prove it. Wen's father also came, and he personally sent his daughter into my house, how can he say that he robbed the people's daughter? ”

"My little concubine, I can't touch it yet? You can do whatever you want. Let's go back and kill this who doesn't keep women's morals. ”

As soon as he learned about Wen's private meeting with Wen Xiucai, he was furious. Maybe it's already green on the head.

Wen Xiucai said righteously: "You are just a young master of a landlord's family, who does not learn and has no skills, and has several wives and concubines. I am familiar with the four books and five classics, ten years of cold windows, and I am the pillar of the country, but the room is empty, and no one asks for warmth to pass on the ancestry. Is this fair? ”

"You already have several wives and concubines, and you are still trying to rob a certain sweetheart who is in love with each other, let me ask, what is it if you don't rob the people's daughter?"

Wen Xiucai's righteous and righteous words won the resonance and applause of many poor people. Yes, why do you have so many wives and concubines, but I don't have any wives? It's not fair.

Li Yuncai was speechless by Wen Xiucai. Wen Xiucai didn't tell the facts at all, but played the emotional card, arousing everyone's sympathy and indignation.

It's so unfair! You have so many wives and concubines, and no one else has any, and a lover who is in love with each other is still forcibly married by you, it is too undeserved, it should be returned to others.

After the statements of both sides, the witness testimony and evidence were all in front of them, and the facts were already very clear, just waiting for the jury to make a verdict and let the judge make a verdict.
