Chapter 735: Eight Mansion Patrols
Seeing Mi Wuniang and the Fang family being taken away by the bailiff of the county law office, Ma Guang felt that he was in a steamer, and at the same time, he still had a lump of 10,000-year-old ice in his stomach.
In the Fang family's Tian case, the Fang family handed over a side branch to the top of the murder case, although the county was very unhappy, but he was busy with a lot of things in his hands, and the scapegoat also insisted that he did it, so he had to close the murder case.
And the whereabouts of the clan field, although the family is still fighting, the heart is already weak, Mi Wuniang intervened here, and there were steps on both sides.
Unexpectedly, the judge did not recognize their "self-mediation" and asked the case to go through the court again. The Fang family was very puzzled, and at first thought that Hou Tong was deliberately making things difficult, and sealed the silver and sent it over, but he was almost detained for bribery. After inquiring, I found out that it seemed that someone from above was going to visit the law, and Hou Tong had to make a superficial sentence, so I was relieved.
Mi Wu Niang, the surviving person, suddenly appeared, so that the bargaining chip situation between the two sides to fight for land has changed, as a new key person, he must also go to the county law office to go to the court, and the bailiff is here to Timi Wu Niang These witnesses.
Mi Wuniang was not exposed, but what Ma Guang was afraid of was that Mi Wuniang thought it was exposed, and turned her face to kill people.
The bailiff is also the former officer, and the British court divided the official service into a very detailed manner, of which the police officer covered many categories in the past. In addition to the bailiffs, there are patrol police, household police, tax police, prison guards, and even special police officers similar to the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, all of which are under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Department.
Most of the police officers are locals, and they are not prepared for war, they don't have much kung fu, except for special police, they generally don't have guns, if Mi Wuniang really wants to do it, most of these seven or eight police officers will really be killed by her.
But there are more than just police officers, Ma Guangli is in the field of Jiuli Village, and there is a "police officer" from the legal department next to him, and there are dozens of villagers watching the excitement on the left and right. Unless Mi Wuniang kills the police officer, the police officer, the Fang family and the villagers in one go, is this possible?
Fortunately, Mi Wuniang seems to have understood the reason and understood the trade-offs, so she chose to continue to disguise. She sent out a secret signal, and the few Dharma protectors who came with her didn't move, so they mixed in with the villagers.
Ma Guang was about to let out his anger, and the police officer of the law office next to him asked casually: "Yesterday, our people from the law department posted a legal notice in Luodian, why didn't we see anyone sell badly?" ”
Ma Guang's heart almost smashed on the instep of his foot, and he forced himself to calm down: "It's Mo Xiaowu, I met in Huangjia Village yesterday, and we chatted for a while. ”
The officer frowned: "This guy ...... It's not so bold, waiting for the sentence to put down a lot of work waiting for everyone to do. ”
Ma Guang swallowed his saliva, didn't dare to answer, and secretly estimated that it would drag on for two or three days. This is also the task given to him by Mi Wuniang, to temporarily block the government's action of investigating Huangjia Village, and it can be blocked for as long as it can.
Before the county's history and ~ county lieutenant sent people down to the town to check the movements of outsiders, especially the northern refugees, he took this matter and did not let the people in the county go directly to Huangjia Village.
Paper can't always contain the fire, Ma Guang felt that the British government not only raised a lot of people, but also had a lot of things, running back and forth, like flowing water and flushing canals, every corner had to be brushed, and it was difficult to protect Huangjia Village as tightly as a paradise.
The weight of the British government smashed on his head, Ma Guang's heart was in turmoil, and at this moment he was not only afraid of Mi Wuniang, but also had a bitter hatred. If he wasn't dragged into the water by her, he should be like this police officer, although he is busy and tired, he has a bright future.
"There's no turning back......"
vaguely rose up to the idea of making the first statement, but was suddenly snuffed out by himself. Not only did he kill two companions, but he was also an accomplice in many cases, and even the bailiff Mo Xiaowu was solved by him himself.
Yesterday, he accompanied Mo Xiaowu into Huangjia Village. This man was a jailer, and he quickly realized that something was wrong. There was a strange smell wafting through the village, the smell of incense, blood and corpses, which was faint but all too familiar to the former jailer. When Mo Xiaowu asked the villagers, Mi Wuniang forced him to do it from behind, and he buried the body. …,
As far as the killing of officials is concerned, he Ma Guang is enough to cut it in half.
I don't know where the road to the future leads, Ma Guang is desperate to the extreme, but he has a trace of courage, why not drag Ma Zhubo into the water?
There are forty or fifty miles from Luodian to Jiading City, and Mi Wuniang, who is on guard in every hair on the body, gradually relaxes by riding a strange but light and flexible four-wheeled donkey cart that enters the city in less than two hours. This trip is indeed a fictional story, as long as it is not too revealing, there is no danger. Although the official errand is still so cold and hard, her actions have been restrained a lot, and even the official errand who "guarded" her in the same car is still a female errand person, and the neat black clothes make her feel a little envious.
When I entered the legal office, I saw people coming and going, walking in a hurry, as if I was doing endless affairs, although I attracted everyone's attention, but it was just the nature of a man, and after a glance, I was busy with myself, Mi Wuniang felt safer.
Before going to the court, she was carefully searched by the female messenger, Mi Wuniang secretly congratulated herself on her choice, she has been carrying a dagger, medicine cigarettes and other talismans, and when she was in Jiuli Village, she secretly took it down and handed it to the protector, if she wants to be searched out here, it will be wronged.
As the Fang family said, this is just a play, waiting for the sentence to deal with Shangguan's play, everything is arranged, and they will go through the scene according to the script. She followed the Fang family all the way through the layers of black-clothed officials and gray-clothed soldiers, and then crossed over a layer of black-and-red uniformed sergeants, and then entered the lobby of the legal office, still wondering in her heart, which official went down to the county?
Someone in the Fang family said in a low voice: "I heard that the county magistrates are all respectful to accompany the last seat, and the waiting sentence is not in the position where he is not sitting, it should be the new Bafu Patrol, and there are guards sent by the emperor to protect him......"
Eight Governors!
Mi Wuniang's heart trembled, what a big official! It's still chincha!
She understands it this way with ordinary people, but unfortunately although there are patrols in history, there is never any great majesty. The Ming patrol was only a sesame official, and the Qing Dynasty did not have this position. Yinghua's patrol is a patrol agency set up by the law department between the provincial inspection envoy and the ~ county general judgment, and at present, there is only one inspection envoy in Jiangnan, and three patrol presses are dispatched, each of which happens to be in charge of the eight prefectures, but the eight prefectures have no power to try cases.
Mi Wuniang naturally did not understand the political structure of Yinghua, and when the witness seat in the hall was in place, she found that in this wide hall, not only a large group of green or red officials were seated, but also at least hundreds of Confucian people lived in another seat, all holding paper and pencils, looking at the neck, the scene made her incomprehensible, and her distracting thoughts could only be screwed to the point that "this patrol official is so powerful, and the British government will definitely harm the people more than the Qing Dynasty".
"Ascend-hall-!"
"Might--Might-!"
The black-clothed official shouted loudly, and two fire sticks rumbled to the ground, and a group of brocade-clothed guards came out of the back hall, and surrounded the two of them to the main seat of the hall, one sat down, and the other stood beside him.
The officials, Confucian scholars and witnesses all got up and bowed to the person in place, and Mi Wuniang, who was buried in the pile of witnesses, didn't have time to look at the appearance of the patrol, and her attention was immediately taken away by the person who was standing beside the patrol, who should be the personal guard.
The slender and upright flexible figure, the sassy and heroic spirit of standing with his hands in his hands, even if he can't see his face clearly, the aura of the heroine among the women is so strong that it makes Mi Wuniang confused.
There is nothing for a female messenger, but now there is an extra female guard, this British official mansion can allow women to come out like this, just like the official mansion in the mouth of the storyteller?
Mi Wuniang's thoughts were mixed, and the bubbles of jealousy, unwillingness, and sourness bubbled up one by one, and then pressed down by another thought, it was clear that this patrol was too ridiculous, yes...... This Great Britain is full of demonic spirit, maybe the officials and scholars below are full of contempt.
Just thinking like this, there was a low laughter floating in the hall, and the female guard poked the "Patrol Adult", the Patrol Adult woke up like a dream, pulled something out of his mouth, smiled awkwardly, coughed, and said idly: "Hmm, let's start......"..., her voice is clear, her bearing is peaceful, and she even has a kind of casual chatting with friends at home, which is completely empty and official as Mi Wuniang expected, not only despising this Patrol Lord is not serious, but also feels relaxed, as if she is in the warm sun, this contradiction makes her feel very uncomfortable.
"Will you die if you don't eat sugar......
Taking advantage of the presiding trial of this case, Jiadingtong sentenced Hou An to start reading out the case, and Yan Sanniang glanced at her husband angrily.
"Low blood sugar in the afternoon, add some sugar so you don't fall asleep."
Li Shi said innocently, he really lost face just now, chewed a lollipop in his mouth, and went directly to the court, still sucking, the officials did not dare to lose their temper, but on the "media seat", the editor-in-chief and chief writers headed by Lei Xiang and Bai Xiaoshan couldn't help laughing.
This impact is too bad, and I will have to say hello to these guys in person, and the focus of the report is on the emperor's trial of the clan Tian case, not the emperor's going to court and eating lollipops. Who dares to crook the topic in the newspapers...... Disqualify who attends the official press conference!
Li Xi was indeed too relaxed to make this unintentional mistake. Today's case, which has been pushed for half a month, is completely a show, and of course, it is also a necessary show. In this case, the lawsuit for the life of the clan has been concluded, the case for the land has been retained, and the two sides of the dispute have actually mediated, but for the sake of show, they have to drag it out until now.
The law department and the Hanlin Academy have prepared a verdict for Li Shi, and the details have been arranged, Li Shi is a puppet, I am afraid that it will be too boring, and I want to doze off and get out of the big embarrassment, but unexpectedly there is still a small embarrassment.
Fortunately, only the newspapers and officials above the general judgment in the hall knew that the emperor was trying the case, and most people did not know. This play was meant to be shown to the newspapers, and the newspapers were to publicize it to a country. At the same time, because the trip adopted the security strategy of "delayed return", and the people were not allowed to watch the trial, the locals thought that the patrol had come to Jiading at this time, but they knew that the emperor was there in person.
What is "time-lapse reflection"? It's very simple, that is, after the work is done and the people are gone, it is announced that the emperor has come, and the case is tried by the emperor.
There were a number of specific measures, including directly summing up the editors-in-chief of the newspaper and watching them to their destinations, ensuring that they did not send out any information about the emperor's whereabouts beforehand. At the same time, in the local government, only the specific officials in charge were notified to make general preparations, and they were also informed that this preparation might not be used, so as to ensure that when the emperor came, he had done his work and would not leak the news.
The emperor's whereabouts are clearly listed on the schedules of the secretary and the guard, but this is absolutely secret, and the government and the people will naturally not know it.
Why this strategy?
This strategy was a tripartite quarrel between the Political Affairs Hall, the Praetorian Guard and the Inner Court, and when Li Shi heard it at first, he also felt that he was too vigilant, but he didn't expect that the real reason was two words: saving money.
The strategy corresponding to the "delayed return" is "the unity of people and shadows", don't look at such a mysterious and secretive, in fact, it is an ordinary emperor who goes out on patrol, calling before and after. The emperor of the Ming and Qing dynasties went out on patrol, it was a big move involving tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, and there was no hundreds of thousands of millions of silver that could not be taken down. The Yinghua government went deep into the towns and villages, and the cost of achieving comprehensive security was estimated to be higher than that of the Ming and Qing emperors.
Britain already has a Song Dynasty pattern, a country's important affairs are already internal affairs, the emperor still has to run around, and the political hall is very unpleasant. In view of the fact that the emperor Li Shi is the lord who can't sit still, it is not easy for the government hall to stop him directly, and the local government affairs affected by the emperor's patrol, money, manpower and the use of the government are indeed a big problem, so the government affairs hall used this matter to make a fuss and started a fight with the inner court and the Praetorian Guard Department.
The emperor went on patrol for state affairs, so why did he have to pay out of his own pocket? The Cabinet, of course, was unwilling. The Praetorian Guard Department is also unwilling to lower the security level to save trouble and money, who is responsible for the accident? Don't all the boards have to be hit on the Praetorian Guard? ..., the three parties competed so much, and as soon as the security and cost were weighed, such a strategy came out. When the emperor goes out on patrol, he does most of the things that the people of the world know, except for the official state affairs that must be revealed in advance, other temporary actions, there is no need to let the locals know in advance, and make all preparations in advance. Anyway, there are newspapers to publicize to the world, and there are government offices that go deep into the townships to make preparations in advance, and the cost is not large, and they come quietly and leave quietly, and the safety is guaranteed, and it is not too disturbing to the people.
Of course, even if this strategy is adopted, there is no need to hide your identity when you get to the ground.
But this case is a special case, and both the Fa Si and the Hanlin Yuan feel that it is the emperor who confides in the trial afterwards, which has a greater impact on people's hearts. The people will not think that this is the emperor using the imperial majesty to force the parties to accept the verdict, but purely fair and just. Then it was right to announce that the emperor was so fair and just......
Li Xi was an expert in this industry in his previous life, and without his guidance, the Fa Si and the Hanlin Academy thought so deeply and arranged so properly that he secretly shuddered, and at the same time reminded him that what he never remembered had something to do with it.
So in this hall, although Li Shi's identity was not revealed, under all kinds of hints, the uninformed officials, the Fang family, and even Mi Wuniang thought that this big man who was wearing a black robe of the law department and did not have any official rank and character logo was a Bafu patrol.
Everything went according to plan, even if Li Xi ate sugar, his eyelids began to fight, and when he heard Hou An say "Witness Fang Mi's appearance in court", he flipped through the file prepared in advance, and sighed, why is there no such person?
Hang Shijun, the real governor of the Eight Mansions, said in a low voice: "The surviving members of the deceased of the Fang family came from Shandong and wanted to enter the Fang family, this was a few days ago, and the revised file in the county has not yet had time to be sent. ”
Li Xian sighed nonchalantly, it was just a small section, and he raised his eyes to look at the "Fang Mi Clan" who walked up to the witness stand, and for a moment, Li Xian lost his mind.
This girl...... It's really eye-catching......
The first reaction was beauty, really beautiful, even if you are the emperor, your wife is stunning, and Li Xi also sincerely admires the beauty of this woman.
The second reaction was...... Rui, even if this woman lowered her eyebrows and looked humble, she seemed to be humble, but with a sharp aura, she didn't seem to be able to wrap anything, so she rushed straight out, tightly grasping Li Shi's mind, like a sharp blade glowing with cold light, which was difficult to ignore.
Li Xian subconsciously had a third reaction, wanting to see clearly what this Ruili was. There is a vague very familiar quality, too familiar......
The aroma circulates between the nasal cavities, this is the breath of the bone marrow that I am already familiar with, the fragrance of Sanniang, this breath coincides with the rare part of the quality. Li Xian suddenly realized that this woman's temperament was a little close to that of Sanniang back then.
Of course, the difference is still very big, and in the part of the essence other than the coincidence, Li Xian can't figure it out, and only subconsciously feels a little cold.
Cough again, Sanniang on the side was a little annoyed, this faint gentleman was in his head? I kept a close eye on the little widow of the family, and it would be a shame for this joke to spread out! The little widow vaguely looked very handsome, but she felt ......
Sanniang looked at Mi Wuniang carefully, and her heart was also fluttering, and she began to taste this person carefully like Li Xian.
Li Xi had already returned to normal, and said with a slight smile: "My surname is Mi? Shandong Juye from? I heard that there was first a rebellion, and then a rebellion of soldiers...... I really want to know what the common people in the north have suffered. ”
Mi Wuniang only saw the "patrol adult" clearly at this time, and her breath was stagnant, so young and ......
Li Xi is thirty-five years old this year, with two mustaches on his lips, and he is no longer young. But in the eyes of Mi Wuniang, Li Shi, who was only about thirty, actually became the governor of the Eight Mansions, and he was too young.
Not only is he young, but also not just the aura that is mixed with deep, elegant and a trace of stability and tenacity like a rock, Li Shi's eyes that are so deep that they seem to be able to bury themselves in the whole world make Mi Wuniang a little distracted. In front of these eyes, she felt a kind of relaxation that seemed to be able to jump out of this earthly world and unload all suffering.
This frightened her, and she buried her head in the blink of an eye, like a woman frightened, which really fit her current identity.
The question of "patrolling adults" cannot be perfunctory, otherwise if you show your feet here, you won't be able to get out, Mi Wuniang dispelled distracting thoughts and began to talk about her "experience".
