Yu Baien was just a small clerk in the army before driving, and he didn't think that his courage was a little stronger than Tang Xiao, who had served in the army for more than 100 households. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Tang Xiaoxian's weakness lies in the fact that beef should not be put on the flail, which is not in the Daming Law of the Criminal Law, but he did it spontaneously. If the master is directly sentenced to death from the beginning, and the report is reported to the three law divisions, and a beheading is set after the autumn, although it gives people the impression of a cool official, it is not unjust and strict.

His Royal Highness King Qi has repeatedly said to the following in recent years that heavy canons should be used in troubled times, so on this matter, Tang Xiaoxian gave the outside world the impression that he was a cool official, and I am afraid that it will not hinder Tang Xiao's previous career. But he didn't act so vigorously at first, and only sentenced him to be shackled to show the public, and as a result, he was shackled to death, and he fell into the handle.

Up to now, Tang Xiaoxian can't explain to the people outside, let alone make amends, he is the county governor of Jiading, and his words and deeds represent the imperial court, if he bows his head and retreats to the people, the people will spare him, but Wang Fa will not spare him.

"When the judgment continues, it suffers."

Yu Baien strongly persuaded Tang Xiaoxian to find a way to get out of the city immediately and transfer the garrison to suppress the troublemakers. When presiding over the settlement of debts earlier, Tang Xiaoxian was also a person who dared to be a daring person, and he once transferred the garrison to copy the queen mother's mother's house, but no matter who heard about it, whether it was right or wrong, he would always praise Tang Zhixian for not being afraid of the powerful. But now that Yu Baien asked him to transfer troops to suppress the people, as soon as the incident starts, I am afraid that many heads will fall to the ground. This is inconsistent with what the king of Qi said about recuperating with the people, restoring the population, and killing less and killing carefully.

Tang Xiao couldn't make up his mind first, and when Yu Baien saw this, he couldn't help laughing shamefully, saying that you are also a person who has killed the Tartar and cut off the head of the Tartar, why do you also have a Bodhisattva heart now? You don't want to kill the parishioner, but the parishioner wants to kill you? Don't you hear that the outside is shouting for you to lose your life in Tangzhi County?

"If you don't invite the GIs, how can you deal with the aftermath outside? The mob rushed into the yamen, are you going to hide in the thatched house like Mao Yilu? ”

Mao Yilu said by Yu Baien was the governor of Jiangsu of the Tianqi Dynasty that year, and when Dongchang came to Wuxi to take people, he was resisted by the mob, and even the yamen was rushed. That Mao Yilu escaped by hiding in the thatched house, and not only lost his official position afterwards, but also became a laughing name through the ages.

"Master Master died yesterday, and there are so many parishioners in the county today, how did the news spread so quickly, and how did this parishioner gather from all directions? Who organized them? The officials said that the law and order in the city was in chaos, and the livelihood of the ordinary people was smashed by the people. Besides, this church can gather in an instant, so you are not afraid of civil unrest in Jiading? Brother Tang, although I just came here, I also heard that you offended a lot of people when you presided over the debt settlement before, so aren't you afraid that these people will take the opportunity to kill you? ”

Tang Xiao thought about it first, I was afraid that this matter was really as Yu Baien said, so he no longer hesitated, summoned his cronies and soldiers, and discussed going out of the city to Fucheng for help. Fortunately, the back of the yamen was close to the north city, and several officials slipped outside the city first, and tied Tang Zhixian and Yu Baien out with ropes. I changed into blue cloth clothes, straw hats, and straw sandals, and hurried to Fucheng to find a path.

Ding Ladong didn't know that Tangzhi County had fled to Fucheng, and after the people of the church made a disturbance, he felt scared, so he hid at home and did not dare to come to the yamen. It wasn't until the evening that people from the temple came to look for him, saying that Tang Zhixian was missing from the yamen, and asked him to come out on behalf of the yamen to negotiate compensation for the death of the master in shackles. The people of Dajiao Temple put forward some conditions, some of which could be agreed to, and some could not.

Ding Ladong is also the head of a county, second only to the people in the county, and the people of the Bisheng Temple don't take him seriously at all, they are aggressive, and they only insist that he agree to the conditions. But there are some conditions, even if he kills Ding Ladong, he doesn't dare to agree. So the matter dragged on, and more than an hour passed, and those people who taught the temple were a little uneasy, for fear that Tang Zhixian, who had fled, would bring back the troops, so they threatened Ding Zhu Bo again. Ding's godfathers also came forward, saying that the matter could not be delayed any longer, and if the soldiers were attracted and the people were harmed, Ding Ladong could not bear it. In desperation, Ding Ladong finally agreed to the terms, so that the people of the temple led the people to disperse. It's just that the Han people in the city who are in a mess, their property is robbed, and their goods are smashed, but they don't know who to turn to reason.

Tang Xiao rushed to Fucheng first and immediately reported the matter to the prefect of Songjiang. The prefect of Songjiang was also taken aback when he heard that the people of Jiading were in turmoil, and after careful inquiry, he immediately wrote a post about the incident, and ordered someone to send it to the governor of Suzhou and the judge.

Jiang Guozhu, the governor of Jiangsu, who was supervising the expansion of the Chongming Military Port and the transportation of money and grain to the north, was angry after reading the Songjiang post, because he had just received an official letter from Zhejiang, and His Royal Highness the King of Qi would soon arrive in Songjiang. It's good now, His Highness hasn't come yet, but Songjiang is in chaos first, if His Highness knows, won't he scold him for Jiang Guozhu's rule?

It happened that Zhang Changgeng, who had just stepped down as the envoy of the Jiangsu General Administration for Debt Clearance, was also in Suzhou, so Jiang Guozhu asked him to discuss the matter. Speaking of which, Tang Mou of Jiading Zhi County was seconded by Zhang Changgeng from the army, and he has been working in his yamen to pay off his debts, so Tang should be regarded as Zhang Changgeng's person. Since Zhang Changgeng is the tail of his hand, if such a big thing happens, Zhang Changgeng must help clean it up.

"When I was in Hubei, I heard that the people of the church have a religion but no country, and that they claimed to live in China but were not Chinese. To this day, the results have been very small, and the people of this sect are very stubborn, and the teachings are very absurd, and the court should also rectify them to avoid trouble. However, in the case of Jiading, on the surface, it seems that Tang Mou, the magistrate of the county, used harshly, killed people, and caused public outrage, but after careful investigation, the people of the church broke the law first, and the bribe officials came later, and Tang enforced the law impartially, and there was nothing wrong with Tang enforcing the law impartially. If you want to say that there is a mistake, it is also a little lynching added to the law, this is a small section, and it can be investigated or not. "It is worthy of being a person who has been a feudal official, Zhang Changgeng has a level when he speaks, and with a few words of understatement, he will pick out the people he has to use.

Jiang Guozhu knew what Zhang Changgeng meant, but he was a little dissatisfied: "Speaking of which, Tang is too rash, right?" Why pile beef on the flail? What kind of criminal law is this? ”

"Yes, it is indeed not a criminal law, what Tang did, Lord Futai still has to be reprimanded, this year's Tang's official evaluation has to be taken care of." Zhang Changgeng didn't speak for Tang, "But the unruly style of teaching people to live in chaos can't last, and the land south of the Yangtze River has just been cleared, and the folk gentry have a lot of complaints about our dynasty." Songjiang's post made it clear that thousands of parishioners gathered on the day of the incident, and the parishioners from other parts of Songjiang were also gathering in Jiading, what is the sign of this? Lang Lang Qiankun, who can respond in all directions? ”

Hearing this, Jiang Guozhu frowned slightly, compared with the lynching of the county magistrate Tang, the nature of this matter was much more serious. Moreover, if it is only for the parishioners, if those landlords and gentry who have been paid off also take the opportunity to make trouble and cause chaos with the parishioners, won't the good situation in Songjiang immediately fall into erosion?

Zhang Changgeng also thought of this, he reminded: "The land south of the Yangtze River is the land of money and grain in my dynasty, and now His Royal Highness has decided to go north to Liaodong, and the materials needed by the army are all transferred from the south of the Yangtze River, so the place must be pacified, especially the land of Songjiang, and nothing can go wrong." Otherwise, if it affects His Highness's plan to go north, we will die and will not be able to atone for our sins. ”

Jiang Guozhu reacted and hurriedly said: "I will do this to Wensongjiang and garrison troops in various places, and I will suppress the people of the sect, and I must not let this matter continue." ”

Zhang Changgeng nodded and said: "The suppression must be started immediately, but it can't be killed all at once." In my opinion, if you catch a few heads, you can deal with them as much as possible. At present, Songjiang needs to be stable, and everything needs to be considered, not capricious, to avoid the situation from deteriorating. The crime is that the traitors hold the government hostage, punish them according to the law, and send them to the county, so that the people of the church can't say anything. ”

"Okay, that's it."

Jiang Guozhu just wanted to calm things down immediately, so that His Royal Highness the King of Qi would see a good situation when he arrived in Songjiang, instead of civil chaos everywhere. Therefore, although it is still ready to suppress, the means can not be so bloody, and some things are not necessarily uncompromising.

After receiving the official letter from the governor Yamen, Songjiang Prefecture immediately sent troops to Jiading. By the time Songjiang's garrison arrived in Jiading, the parishioners had already dispersed. Songjiang Mansion was relieved to get the report, and the people dispersed, indicating that the matter had calmed down, and it was better not to make a big move.
