Tang Xiaoxian felt that Yu Baien's method was very good, and the king of Qi and the imperial court now attached great importance to the resumption of production, and the government at all levels issued many policies to protect production materials such as cattle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info However, the local parishioners in Songjiang slaughtered cattle privately for their appetite, and they also said that the government would help them relax the law, if he Tang Xiaoxian did not handle this matter strictly, and then he would be investigated in the future, I am afraid that he Tang Xiaoxian would have to be sent to the prison of the Criminal Department like his predecessor who refused to pay taxes.

It's a trivial matter whether he is promoted or not, Tang Xiaoxian has just been reappointed as the magistrate of the county from 100 households in the army, fart. The stock is not yet hot, so I want to be promoted, and now I just want not to have an accident in my own hands. At that moment, Tang Xiaoxian summoned Master Ding Bo and told the other party what he wanted to do with those sectarians. After hearing this, Ding Zhubo was very frightened, only feeling uneasy, and he couldn't help the sect relatives, but when he thought that he was a court official, not a middle school official, he was also relieved and actively cooperated with Tang Zhixian. Otherwise, if he didn't wait to trouble him, "now" Tang Zhixian would be able to make him suffer a lot. In addition, the parishioners should also beat him, otherwise they will not be able to carry the master out to press him at every turn, so that he can do how this official can live in peace.

The whole world is not the king's land; The shore of the land is not the king's minister.

The people of the church are also the people, how can they rely on their status to live outside the king's law and disobey the king's transformation. Through this incident, it is good for the people to know that the law of the Ming Dynasty is powerful.

Jiading belongs to Songjiang Mansion, and the people of Songjiang Mansion are all bred from 36 families of Semu people in the Mengyuan and Yuan dynasties, about 50,000 people. These more than 50,000 parishioners live around the Baihe Temple, a large religious temple built by Nasu Ladin, a Semu man from the Western Regions, and there are religious tombs in the temple. The parishioners hardly farmed and only engaged in various businesses and handicrafts. In the early years, there were the most soldiers in the Western Regions in the city of Songjiang Prefecture, so the people also called the old city of Songjiang as the city of the people. Nearly three hundred years after the death of Meng Yuan, the parishioners had long since changed their Han surnames, spoke Chinese, used Chinese characters, and looked no different from the Han people, but they always regarded themselves as parishioners, did not recognize themselves as Han people, and were always accustomed to looking for a master in the sect instead of looking for the government.

Ding Zhubo is an outstanding person among the people, and since he was a child, he has studied hard to serve as an official in Fangzhong, so he naturally wants to make a difference, so that the sectarians will respect him, not look down on him, and he doesn't want to be affected by them because of this matter.

Earlier, when Songjiang cleared the debt, the interests of the parishioners were also harmed. Although the parishioners did not farm, they had a lot of savings, and over the years they would buy land and rent it to the locals for farming, and over time, they would evade taxes like the local gentry. A large number of parishioners were forced to pay a large amount of taxes in arrears, and many parishioners were dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty like those Han gentry, and fled to the north with their families. There are still a large number of parishioners left, and they complain a lot about the changes in the government over the years, and I heard that many parishioners have privately contacted those Han gentry who are dissatisfied with the government, and want to cause trouble. Asking Ding Ladong to intercede with the government and allow them to slaughter cattle and eat meat may be a temptation. Otherwise, it is clear that the king's law is there, and it is not allowed to slaughter cattle privately, how dare these people knowingly commit it.

It's just that although Ding Ladong is a member of the sect, his relationship with the sect has faded since he became an official, so some insider sectarians will not tell him. Tang Xiaoxian is also here to talk about things, and only wants to punish the people who break the law, but he doesn't think about it deeply.

Early the next morning, Tang Xiaoxian called Shengtang to decide the case. Yu Baien was idle, so he listened in the hall as a master.

The officials first brought in a chicken thief, who was an old criminal, who had been beaten by Tang Xiaoxian before. Seeing that it was this old criminal again, Tang Xiaoxian couldn't help but say angrily: "You thief, you have committed two crimes in the hands of this county, and you are still doing your old business, and you don't repent, you are really not afraid that you will not succeed!" ”

The chicken thief is also an old fritter, knowing that he is just stealing chickens, and the government can't kill him. only looked timid and scared, but in his heart he thought that he would not be able to play the board left and right, and he would be fine if he only asked the county master to be happy. Next time you steal it, go to a distance, and save yourself from committing it again in the hands of this Tang County Zun.

Tang Xiaoxian saw that the chicken thief's eyes flickered, how he didn't know what he thought, the more he thought about it, the more he wrote, he picked up the red pen and wrote the words "chicken thief" on the old criminal's face, and then took a big flail to flail him. And he told the servants to tie the chickens that the old criminals had stolen, head backwards, and tail forwards, and put them out in a flail. Just got out of the county gate, that. There was a whistling sound, and a toss of flowed from the forehead to the nose, and the beard became a piece and dripped onto the flail.

The onlookers outside the county government couldn't help laughing when they saw this chicken thief so embarrassed. Yu Baien also saw Tang Xiao's case for the first time, and he couldn't help but be happy to see him so ingenious.

After flailing the chicken thief, Tang Xiao first ordered the master of the sect to be brought up. The master wore a hat, and he didn't know why he was suddenly locked up by the officials. When he arrived at the hall, the master wanted to find Master Ding, but Master Ding was not in the hall.

"Mighty!"

The officials cheered and told the master to kneel. The master was reluctant in his heart, so it can be seen that he did not dare not kneel in this posture. As soon as he knelt down, Tang Xiaoxian immediately attacked, angrily reprimanded this master and the people of the sect for not having a king's law, and after scolding him, he threw out the lottery and took the thirty boards. only beat this master to the flesh. When he was done, he asked the official to take a big flail and pile the fifty catties of beef on the flail. The master's face and neck were tightly banded, and only two eyes were left, showing the public in front of the county.

The people who were waiting for the news outside the yamen were not convinced when they saw that the master had been flailed by the government, but no one dared to come forward, so they watched the master call the master to be in the flail. Tang Xiaoxian originally wanted to flail this master for a few days, so as not to harm his life, and let them know what they can do and what they can't do. I don't want the master to go through the flail, and he died on the third day.

This time, things went bad. All the parishioners respect the master, and where is the willing master to be killed by the government, so under the tandem of the personnel of the Dajiao Temple, thousands of parishioners rushed from Jiading to the county seat. They sounded the gong to strike the market, drove the Han people all the way, and did not allow the Han people to open their doors. Along the way, he shouted all the way, asking the government to pay for the master's life.

In the chaos, some Han gentry and landlords in Jiading who were dissatisfied with the government because of their debts also joined in, hoping to use this incident to drive Tang Xiaoxian away. They said to the parishioners, "You should not give beef, and you should not be guilty of capital punishment." This time, he went into the yamen, took out the official surnamed Tang and beat him to death, the law does not blame the public, there are so many big guys, how can the government do it? ”

The people of the church already had trouble in their hearts, and as soon as the Han landlords instigated it, the matter became bigger and bigger. Until noon, thousands of parishioners surrounded the county government and said that as long as they found out the soup effect, they would be killed first.

Tang Xiao was shocked first, and hurriedly called a few confidants to come in to discuss, and asked Yu Baien what to do.

"This is gathering a crowd to make a rebellion, using this matter to oppose the imperial court."

Yu Baien was also ruthless, and he gave things a word to the sex. He said to Tang Xiaoxian: "You are an official of the imperial court, Jiading's parents, that master of the people of the sect has violated the king's law, and it is not inappropriate for you to sentence him to be shackled." ”

"That being said, people are shackled to death after all." Tang Xiaoxian didn't complain about Bai En's idea, but he felt that no matter what, the master had made him shackled to death, and it seemed that the crime would not lead to death.

Yu Baien sneered: "Brother Tang, I have seen King Qi's decree, it is an unforgivable crime to slaughter cattle privately, and according to the law, it is to be executed, and it should be done." You enforce the law impartially, what's wrong? ”
