Xie Shen couldn't help but sink in his heart when he heard this. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Tongzhi is right, no matter how you look at the beating of the court officials, it is a big event. If this kind of thing is handled improperly, the prestige of the imperial court will be affected.

In other words, it's not just a single incident.

This made Xie Shen extremely embarrassed, and he couldn't help but think of the old man Xu Guan who reminded him before leaving, that many people in Shanxi are fierce and fierce, and there are often tax resistances.

At that time, Xie Shen didn't think about it, and he didn't expect that this unlucky thing really happened to him.

Xie Shen comforted Li Tongzhi for a few words, and then thought about how to act.

It is said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and now Xie Shen has realized it.

After hesitating, Xie Shen still signed a card ticket and asked the officials to go and arrest the mob who beat Li Tongzhi, of course, only against the first evil.

Although Li Tongzhi continued to collect taxes in the disaster year, there was no problem in terms of the imperial court's law.

The imperial court could reduce or reduce local taxes at its discretion due to disasters, but until then, local officials had no right to make decisions on their own.

These mobs directly beat Li Tongzhi, completely ignoring the face of the government and the law of the court, and at worst it is no different from rebellion.

It's just that Xie Shen didn't want this matter to get out of control, so he just asked the official to take the first evil.

The card ticket is equivalent to the voucher of the officer's office. Officials who do not have a license have no law enforcement power, and if they want to take the opportunity to extort, they may be beaten by the people. They still have some scruples about knowing Li Tong, and they won't kill them. It's different with cheap servitude, if you are really angry, you will definitely fight to the death.

Qian Bantou got the card ticket, patted his chest and promised the prefect that he would lock the mob back for the prefect's interrogation.

After that, Qian Bantou rushed out of the government with more than a dozen officials and went to search the city.

Lu'an City is not big, and if you really want to search for half a day, you can search the whole city.

In addition, Li Tongzhi had already drawn a rough portrait of the head of the mob, and the search was not difficult. said that Xie Shen had changed into a crimson official robe early and sat in the lobby to prepare to ascend to the hall.

He thought that Qian Bantou would be able to bring people back to the government office soon, but who knew that those officials had not come back after half a day.

Xie Shen was furious, and said in his heart that these officials must have been vain about his orders and went to loot money in the name of office affairs.

He was about to ask Lu to go and have a look, but he saw a servant on duty come to report: "Qiqi Fuzun, Qian Bantou and they are back." ”

Xie Shen said unhappily: "Since you're back, why don't you come in and resume your life!" ”

The official was puzzled: "This, I'm afraid this is not appropriate." Qian Bantou, their coats were stripped off. Entering the mansion at this moment is afraid that it will collide with the mansion. ”

No way!

What kind of script is this!

Xie Shenzhi was helpless. Li Tongzhi was beaten before, and the head of the government servant team was stripped off his clothes and humiliated, are the people of Lu'an really so martial and strong?

Coughing, Xie Shen waved his hand and said, "Then what are you still doing in a daze, don't you ask them to change their clothes to see the official." Does this also require official teaching? ”

The official nodded hurriedly, then turned around and walked out of the lobby, looking for more than a dozen sets of old clothes and sending them to the outside of the palace.

said that the officials led by Qian Bantou changed into old clothes, and then walked into the hall of the government in embarrassment.

As soon as they entered the lobby, a group of officials fell to their knees under the leadership of Qian Bantou.

Qian Bantou cried: "Master, I have never suffered such humiliation for such a big life. It's just a small insult, but these mobs don't take you seriously. ”

What Qian Bantou said was so angry that the listener cried.

It turned out that he took the officials to search and arrest the leader of the mob, but he was blocked by dozens of people in an alley.

Qian Bantou immediately recognized that the leader was the leader of the mob who beat Li Tongzhi, and was about to order his subordinates to come forward to arrest him, but who knew that the other party would rush up and beat them regardless of it.

That's not all, they even peeled off their coats and left only the middle coat.

At this time, it was warm and cold, and it was cold.

Although there is still a middle coat to cover the shame, it will not be disgraced, but in the eyes of Qian Bantou, it is already a great shame.

Xie Shendeng's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Have you taken out the card ticket?" ”

Qian Bantou immediately kowtowed and replied: "The little one took out the card ticket at that time, saying that he came to arrest the important culprit on the order of the Fuzun. But they punched and kicked the little ones as if they hadn't heard them at all. ”

Xie Shen couldn't help but gasp.

If the money team leader didn't take out the card ticket at that time, the mob could still defend himself. But Qian Bantou obviously took out the card ticket, and it was another matter for those mobs to punch and kick the officials.

This amounts to a flagrant disobedience to law enforcement, which is of a very egregious nature.

The role of the government in the local government is to maintain stability, if even the power to enforce the law cannot be guaranteed, then what is the point of the existence of the government?

Of course, Xie Shen is not an official-oriented person, he is also from a poor family, but this does not mean that he will blindly condone these mobs.

Xie Shen sneered and said, "Which alley do they live in, this official wants to see with his own eyes what kind of person is so bold!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Qian Bantou was immediately stunned.

"Fuzun, you can't help it. These mobs are extremely hateful, and you are a noble person, and you must not be in danger. ”

Qian Bantou said in his heart Li Tongzhi had just been beaten, and this prefect was going to go up to the pole to inspect, isn't it unpleasant to find it.

Or did he think that the dignified prefect would not be in danger?

"This Lu'an Mansion belongs to the Ming Dynasty and belongs to the imperial court, not to their people. Since this official is the prefect of Lu'an, how can he turn a blind eye to this matter? Go quickly and gather all the officials, and go with your own officials to inspect them. ”

Qian Bantou looked dazed, and all the officials in the government together were only a few dozen people, not as many as those mobs.

And the mob is in the dark, they are in the light, and it is likely that they will be attacked again.

The last time the mob only stripped off the Qian Bantou's shirt, leaving behind a fig leaf.

If you go again this time, you won't be stripped naked, right?

Thinking of this, Qian Bantou shuddered.

"Fuzun, this matter ......"

"Why, can't this official even give you orders?"

Xie Shen's tone changed abruptly, and he stared coldly at the head of the Qian team in the hall.

Seeing that the prefect was angry, Qian Bantou immediately kowtowed and said, "Fuzun is angry, Fuzun is angry." The small one is also for the safety of the house, and the small one has no other intentions. ”

For Qian Bantou, the person sitting above the county government is his master.

If he offends the prefect, not only will his position as the head of the team be removed, but he will even be directly used as hard labor.

Although the servant is also considered a lowly servant, after all, there is still oil and water to be fished, and if it really becomes a hard servant, there will be no day to turn over in his life.
