Since Wang Desheng and his son were brought to justice, the people who were deeply affected by it set off firecrackers for several days to celebrate, and Zhangye was as lively as a festival. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

I don't know if it's providence, after eradicating the cancer in Zhangye's officialdom, the originally sultry weather was followed by a torrential rain.

A heavy rain not only brought a touch of summer coolness to Zhangye, but also washed away the remaining sins in the dark.

Nowadays, there are no gangsters and bullies on the streets, and children, girls, and the elderly can finally walk the streets without any scruples.

However, unlike the lively scene on the street, the atmosphere in the county warden's mansion was particularly solemn at this moment, and a special trial was about to be held.

Wei Shuo is personally handling the case of Niu Laohan's family, not that he likes to meddle indiscriminately, but it is actually that this case involves the family members of the original sergeant and martyr.

only then did he pay special attention to it, and specially ordered the guards to escort all the criminals to Zhangye.

After Tao Qian returned, Wei Shuo received an investigation report, and he immediately ordered someone to go to Xiaogu County to arrest Li Mengyang and other criminals.

Knowing that the Dadu Protector personally tried the case, hundreds of people surrounded the yamen.

Hundreds of government soldiers did their best to maintain order at the scene, trying their best to keep the people watching the excitement out of the door, so that everyone would not affect the trial of the case.

In the past, most people would not have understood what Niu Laohan's case was, but recently, with the vigorous publicity of the "Hexi Xunbao", almost every Hexi person knows how Niu Laohan's family has suffered.

If you want to say who is most concerned about the trial of this case, it is naturally not the soldiers and their families in various places.

In ancient times, being a soldier was like begging for a living on the edge of a knife, and after today, I don't know if I can see the sun tomorrow.

Therefore, almost every soldier is very concerned about the life of his family behind him, for fear that one day he will end up like Niu Laohan's family.

It is precisely because he understands that this case is related to the hearts of the military and the people, that Wei Shuo will make a big show and say that he will personally ask about the case.

He not only wanted to warn others not to infringe on the interests of the martyrs by severely punishing the officials who committed the crime, but also prepared to use this case to completely elevate the status of the martial artists.

Due to concerns about personal interests, the families of the local soldiers flocked to see how the generals of the capital would politically harm the officials of the martyrs.

……

When he was approaching, two people walked out of the back hall, one in front of the other.

The forerunner wore the uniform of the Hexi Army and looked heroic.

The other scribe was slightly one step behind, and his temperament was free and natural.

On both sides of the main hall, a cadre of guards stood with horizontal knives on their waists, each with a solemn face.

Inside and outside the lobby, when everyone saw Wei Shuo and Liu Mu coming up, they bowed down one after another.

"The ministers will meet the protector of the capital."

"The grass people and others have seen most of the protection."

"Everyone, please."

After everyone greeted each other, Wei Shuo sat in the middle of the presiding judge, while Liu Muzhi sat next to him.

Don't look at Wei Shuo's relaxed face at the moment, in fact, in order to fight for the opportunity to ask the case in person, he didn't rub his mouth with his subordinates.

Although the idea of being noble and martial at this time was not as obvious as that of the Song and Ming dynasties, it cannot be denied that the status of martial artists was gradually declining in history.

During this period, someone suggested to him that the county order of Xiaogu County should be dealt with as an ordinary corrupt official, but Wei Shuo did not agree.

He had already made up his mind about this case, and no matter how many people blocked it, he was determined to elevate the status of a martial artist.

"Li Mengyang, the county commander of Xiaogu County."

Soon, a government soldier escorted a man in an official robe to the lobby.

Now Li Mengyang has long lost his previous vigor, the whole person is sluggish, his eye sockets are deep, his face is blue, and his whole body is shaking up and down.

It's not that someone abused him, but that he was under huge psychological pressure, worried day and night, and after a while, he became like this.

"Li Mengyang, Bendu has written all over the country, clearly pointing out that all martyrs are exempt from relevant taxes."

"How dare you raise taxes without permission, and not even let go of the martyrs' families?"

"This ...... Most of them protect their lives, this ...... This is all forced by the people above. ”

"When the lower official took office in Xiaogu, the upper official asked for a huge amount of money from the lower down many times, and I had no choice but to increase the tax."

"As for the death of the Niu family, it was all done by the people below, I really don't know."

Although Li Mengyang was panicked and uneasy in his heart, his mind was still quite clear, and he knew that this case was tried by the Dadu Protector, which showed how serious it was.

If he had been condemned, there would have been no good fruit to eat.

Therefore, although he stammered when he spoke, he shifted the blame cleanly.

Wei Shuo sneered, didn't say much to him, turned his head and instructed Liu Muzhi: "Take the officials and officials of Xiaogu County." ”

Soon the officials and officials were brought up, and the person who defiled the second daughter-in-law of Niu was the group of scum in front of him.

Wei Shuo looked at Li Du's first-class scum with an expressionless face.

"Do you know that as a person in the government, what crime should you be guilty of knowing the law and breaking the law?"

"This ...... This, the little ones don't know. Li Dutou was stared at by Wei Shuo, so he avoided Wei Shuo's gaze.

"I don't know? Then let me ask you, do you know about the insult of Niu Er's wife?"

"No, no." Li Dutou was already nervous at the moment, and Lian Lian denied it.

"The little one never knew about it, and he didn't know why Niu Er's wife allowed someone."

Wei Shuo saw that Li Dutou also tried his best to deny it, so he stopped talking nonsense, and ordered someone to bring the old man Niu up.

"Someone, bring the plaintiff up."

The old man Niu, who was lucky to survive, was still quite weak, and was supported by two government soldiers and barely walked up to the lobby.

Seeing that he still wanted to kneel, Wei Shuo hurriedly ordered someone to sit down.

In front of the people, Niu Laohan cried about his family's experience again, and the listeners all felt miserable.

Wei Shuo asked Li Dutou angrily: "You also heard with your own ears that it was you who killed Niu Er and his wife." ”

It's just that Li Dutou is not willing to admit his guilt, but he knows very well that once he confesses, there is no possibility of being spared, so he made up his mind to pay attention to stubborn resistance.

"This is really a big wrong, the little one has never seen any Niu Er, and please protect most of them."

"Hah! Shuo really saw what it means to be shameless today, but it's useless for you to deny it, and it's useless for you to quibble when the next witness comes up. ”

Soon, a former Xiaogu County official was brought up, and this person quickly testified against Li Dutou.

"After Li Dutou arrived at Niu's house that day, he saw that he deliberately raped Niu's family."

"Later, when Niu Er came, it was he who commanded us to kill the other party."

"You, you...... You talk nonsense, see if I don't tear your mouth!"

"It seems that you can't cry when you don't see the coffin, come on, pull them down and clean them up."

Except for Li Dutou, where did the others see this formation, and they didn't wait for Wei Shuo to ask, and they poured beans one after another to explain the ins and outs.

It turned out that Li Dutou was also a member of Li Mengyang's clan, and Li Mengyang was nepotistic after taking office, and Li Dutou relied on the support of the county order to do all kinds of evil.

On the same day, he took him to Niu's house to grab grain, and when he saw that Niu's daughter-in-law was a little beautiful, he had evil intentions and forcibly raped her.

Later, when he saw Niu Er find a reason, the vicious Li Dutou brutally beat him to death.

Knowing the details of this incident, Wei Shuo was extremely furious.

"You are just a scoundrel, how dare you harm the family of my army?! It's really unbearable. ”

"Previously, the protector of the city promised to the body industry and others that the rectification of the rule of officials would never be punished indiscriminately, and the law would not be harsh."

"But today Shuo is going to ruin the promise!"

"Someone, give me an order: Pull all these cadres out into the street and execute them, and they will not be allowed to die without a thousand cuts."

"In addition, Kang Long, you immediately take three hundred guards to the Li family, except for the old and the young, denounce all the women as official prostitutes, and the men are young and strong and are married to Yinshan as slaves."

"In addition, it is forbidden for the children of the three clans of the Li clan to not study, become officials, and not leave the local area for fifty years, and all actions are supervised by the government soldiers."

At this time, Li Mengyang's whole person was blinded, he thought that the result would be very serious, but he didn't expect to underestimate the status of Xiang Jun in the minds of Dadu Protectors.

This time, not only did he and his lackeys have to be openly cut by a thousand knives, but even the family that has finally improved has been completely buried......

……

"In the rectification of officials, Shuo found that officials in various places did not play their due role at all, but became accomplices in the hands of corrupt officials and corrupt officials."

"In order to prevent officials from causing trouble to the local area again, Shuo is preparing to set up a patrol inspection department to be in charge of arresting thieves."

"In the future, local governments will no longer have the right to manage inspections, and only after the inspection department issues an arrest warrant, the inspection department can dispatch inspections."

"After the criminal was arrested by the inspection department, he was immediately handed over to Dali Temple for trial and conviction, and the inspection department has no right to interrogate the criminal."

The magistrates present couldn't help but sigh lightly when they heard that Wei Shuo would set up an inspection department to divide local powers.

Originally, the magistrates in Hexi were stripped of a lot of authority due to the policy of separating civil and military forces, and now the majority of the metropolitan protectors have stripped off the power of adjudication and arrest, and now the magistrates are only left to manage civil affairs.

In addition, the establishment of the Council of Representatives will lead to more and more restrictions on local governments in the future.
