Chapter 136: The Great Adjustment
The county government was lively.
The door of the county government was opened, and what was surprising was that the door of the instrument inside was also opened, and the people standing outside were afraid to go in, but the county lord Lu Tianming said at the gate of the county ya, please go in, and the county magistrate will interrogate these trouble-making scoundrels, as well as the officials who do not fulfill their duties.
The crowd was sensational, and the common people poured into the county government like a tide and passed through the Yimen.
You must know that many of them will never enter the lobby from the main entrance of Yimen in their lives.
Many people were bullied by the scoundrels, and the officials were even more excessive, asking for money and food, which was a little unsatisfactory, and the upper body of the fists and feet was good, and if they didn't do it well, they went to prison.
In the courtyard in front of the lobby, there were people standing up, everyone was talking about it, and they seemed very excited, there were so many people that the corridor was full of people.
They still can't believe it, can it be said that the new magistrate can shoot at the officials in the yamen, isn't this a slap in the face.
"Kid, father, you say, what's the matter, does the county magistrate want to teach those officials and dogs a lesson......"
"Shut up, do you also want to kneel in the lobby, just look at it......"
"Brother, what do you say is wrong, I think, is it fake......"
"Say a few words, and you will know the way when you look at it......"
There was a lot of discussion all around, and the courtyard in front of the lobby had become a hornet's nest, and strangely, the sergeants guarding the surrounding area did not interfere with everyone's discussions.
"Silence, don't speak, the county magistrate is here."
Liu Joong Ki followed behind Su Tiancheng, a little confused, and he still hasn't reacted.
Su Tiancheng went to the county office, he went directly to the mansion, at this time, it was definitely inappropriate to follow the county office, he had nothing to do, his identity was embarrassing, he could only stay in the mansion for a while to see what he could do.
But only a day later, he arrived at the county office, and got a surprising news that Su Tiancheng wanted to recommend him to be the history of Jiangning County.
It's really a dream.
Although the history of the canon has not entered the stream, he is already an official of the imperial court, and the identity of the priest and the warden is completely different.
Doing a classic history does not affect the township test at all, and you can also receive some care, after all, it is an official of the imperial court.
In the second hall, Su Tiancheng became extremely serious and told him that he must do things wholeheartedly, otherwise he will be criticized and impeached, and a personal relationship is a private relationship, and when he is working, he must follow the rules.
Liu Zhongji nodded innocently, and after meeting Lu Tianming and Qu Qingze, he followed him to the lobby, Su Tiancheng went to Jiangning County, and the first time he was promoted to the court to try the case, and it was in the busy farming season.
Su Tiancheng walked outside the lobby, followed by Lu Tianming, Qu Qingze and Liu Zhongji.
He clenched his fists at the black-pressed people and spoke.
"This official came to Jiangning County, I implore you to get the support of your fathers and fellow villagers, today's promotion to the court to try the case, is to clean up those scum in the yamen, they prey on the people, do bad things, and ruin the image of the county government, this official will not tolerate the occurrence of such a situation, after today's promotion to the court, if there are still officials bullying the people in the future, everyone can sue, this is Liu Dianshi, who is temporarily acting in charge of the history of the canon, you are bullied, directly find Liu Dianshi, the county government will definitely deal with it impartially."
The crowd was silent, and soon, the people in front knelt down, and those behind knelt down.
Su Tiancheng sighed and clenched his fists again.
"Everyone, get up quickly, this official is going to try the case."
The first to be brought up was the troublesome gangsters, these gangsters, who were beaten only had one breath left, and when they saw the sergeant escorting them, they trembled, and before Su Tiancheng could speak, he said in one breath the reason why the officials arranged for them to make trouble, and explained all the things that had colluded with each other and the people in the past.
Inside the lobby, there were kneeling gangsters, almost all of whom were in unison.
Listening to what they said, Liu Zhongji's reaction was the greatest, he gritted his teeth with hatred, his face was red and white, Lu Tianming's face was a trace of shame, and Su Tiancheng and Qu Qingze's faces did not have much reaction.
Soon, more than a dozen officials were escorted up.
In the middle of the crowd, there were bursts of whispers, these officials, usually rampant in the township, at this time, with scars, were escorted to the lobby, and honestly knelt down, their bodies were still trembling.
Of course, everyone was relieved to look at it.
The officials also honestly confessed, including the bad things they had done before, all of them were said, and in the middle of their explanations, the officials of the sixth room and some of the wardens were pulled out.
Next, some of the priests and wardens also knelt on the top of the hall.
In the middle of the crowd, it is already silent, if it is said that the trial of the officials, these people, anyway, are temporary workers of the government, and they will be dealt with if they are dealt with, but the officials and the wardens have different identities, and the county magistrate is ruthless, and he is the same trial.
Everyone seems to understand something, this is a big man in the sky, the people of Jiangning County, who are going to live a good life.
Two hours had passed, and the trial was almost over.
Su Tiancheng retreated to the second hall.
In such a case, the verdict must be pronounced in the court, otherwise the people will feel uncomfortable, and they are also afraid, afraid that the government will behave, and these officials, including the officials and wardens, will come out in the future and continue to harm one party.
But how to decide, two different opinions have been formed.
Liu Zhongji, who acted as the historian, was the most excited, his opinion must be severely punished, and many people should be killed, including some officials who did evil, seeing the excited Liu Zhongji, Su Tiancheng seemed to see the angry youth after a few years.
Yoo Joong Ki's opinion is certainly not advisable.
Lu Tianming's opinion is mainly on punishment and education, and he does not advocate killing.
This kind of opinion is also not good, as the saying goes, kill a hundred people, for those bullies and gangsters who do a lot of evil, they must kill a few, and the servants who work for the tiger must kill some, otherwise the people will not believe it, and their hearts are not at ease, as for the priests and wardens, of course, they must be punished, and if they are killed, they should not be killed, after all, they are to receive some silver.
Qu Qingze didn't speak.
He admired Su Tiancheng, this hand is too good, the county government has changed blood, all the officials, wardens, and clerks, including the officials, who dares to mess around, dare to be disobedient, that is to find death.
Taking advantage of such an opportunity, he consolidated his own strength and won the support of the people, such a method, only Su Tiancheng can think of it, especially when Ma Jiashou was handed over to Ma Jiagan, this is the best thing to do, Ma Jiashou is an official of the imperial court after all, and when he arrived in the lobby, the face of the government also fell, and in doing so, Ma Jiagan will definitely support Jiangning County in the future.
Three birds with one stone.
Qu Qingze would not express his opinion easily, he had already guessed Su Tiancheng's thoughts.
"Lord Qu, Lord Lu and Liu Dianshi have all expressed their opinions, what do you think, let's hear it."
"The opinion of the lower officials is to make an example of one and punish the first evil, but not to expand it too much, so as not to cause panic, and as for those followers, they should be taught a lesson with a rod, so that they will not cause trouble in the future. Among the officials, some of them have gone too far, and they can also kill a few, as for the officials and wardens, the officials still look at them as the main admonition, but they can't continue to do things in the county government. ”
Su Tiancheng had a smile on his face.
"Well, what Lord Qu said makes sense, I also see it that way, I don't know what the opinions of Lord Lu Daolu and Liu Dianshi are."
Qu Qingze's opinion is a compromise opinion.
Lu Tianming was very smart and found that Su Tiancheng was in favor of this opinion, and he said yes and completely agreed, and Liu Zhongji reluctantly agreed.
Seeing Liu Joong Ki's attitude, Su Tiancheng smiled bitterly, it seems that Liu Joong Ki still needs to be sharpened, the world cannot be peaceful, and it is impossible to be completely innocent, and black and white cannot be so clear.
After half an hour, what should be killed, what should be struck with a rod, and what should be reprimanded. It has all been decided which should be opened.
Qu Qingze followed Su Tiancheng and entered the previous thoughts.
"Master Qu, if you are sure to behead them, they will not be able to speak, understand?"
"Xia Guan understands, so let's do it."
Seeing Qu Qingze leave in a hurry, Su Tiancheng smiled.
Those who are going to be beheaded and scallops, including the officials, will definitely shout when they know the result, and if Ma Jiashou is implicated, it will not end well, only so that they can't speak, as for the people who hold their lives, they will definitely not talk too much, otherwise they will die even worse.
Of course, the next move, he has already decided, the county government is short of silver, many things, are not easy to do, since there is such an opportunity, if you can't get the silver, it is not in vain.
The time has come for the verdict to be pronounced.
Inside the lobby, the atmosphere is particularly serious.
There were too many kneeling people, many kneeling outside.
Su Tiancheng made a shocking sound, he was not used to this thing.
"This official has made it clear that this is a shame for us, the official colluded with the scoundrels and ruined the reputation of the county government, and even the public servants of the county government participated in it, and the people were hurt and ashamed, and if the punishment was not severe, it was not enough for the people to be angry, and the official could not sleep peacefully, and the verdict is as follows......"
More than 20 people were sentenced to beheading, including more than 10 ruffians and more than 10 officials.
These scoundrels, including the servants, have long had their tongues cut off and are speechless.
The person who was hit by the rod was executed on the spot, and the crackling board hit the body, and no one dared to scream.
The people at the scene felt a great impact, they couldn't believe it at all, the county lord was really, and more than 20 people were going to be beheaded.
