Chapter 84: Examination and Training

Dai Tongzhiqi said: "Why did Lord Jianzhou transfer Ye Xiaotian to Tongren? ”

Yu Junting said: "Our purpose is to weaken the Zhang family's control over Tongren and collect the toast for my use." Huxian County is directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and under the rule of the liuguan, it is our only variable. There are so many things happening in Huxian this time, I don't know if it has anything to do with Ye Xiaotian, but a series of previous events are all related to it, let this monkey stir up trouble in Huxian County, it is better to recruit him to Tongren Mansion to restrain him. ”

Yu Junting took a sip of tea and continued: "Originally, it was not easy to transfer him to Tongren, but now that Huxian has an accident, it is the best time. The magistrate is suffering from hypothesis, if he is replaced by another magistrate, whether it is prestige or connections, how can Ye Xiaotian, who has been operating in Huxian for several years, believe that the imperial court will also have this concern. ”

Dai Tongzhi said disappreciatively: "Lord Jianzhou thinks too highly of him, right, a small county, worthy of such caution from Lord Jianzhou?" ”

Yu Junting said coldly: "If you go to Huxian County, do you have the ability to kill two county officials and one chief bookkeeper within three years?" ”

Dai Tongzhi was speechless for a moment, suffocated, and then arrived: "Huxian County is under the rule of a liuguan, and the county is selected by the imperial court. Whether the county is transferred or not is also decided by the imperial court. I'm afraid we can't be the master. ”

Yu Junting said: "Although the candidates are determined by the imperial court, the magistrates have the right to recommend, and it is impossible for the imperial court to understand the situation of each county and who to choose. Didn't you say that the white master was transferred from Jinling? ”

Dai Tong knew: "Yes! ”

Yu Junting's eyes narrowed slightly, it seemed that when she was thinking, she would subconsciously squint her eyes, and her style was very sultry: "Master Bai is the master of the book as a seven-rank official, and it is reasonable to be promoted on the spot." And he is from Jinling, and it is also safe to put him in the Huxian court. Just convince Zhang Duo to nominate him! ”

Dai Tong knew: "What about Ye Xiaotian?" ”

Yu Junting smiled and said, "Ye Xiaotian is originally a county official, and he is above the main book. Now that the main book is promoted to the position of the county magistrate, what should the county do? The former subordinates have become the top bosses, and the imperial court will not allow such a situation that will inevitably lead to disagreement between the official and the leader of the second official, so as long as one mention is made, Ye Xiaotian's transfer to Tongren is inevitable. ”

Dai Tongzhi frowned, and then asked: "So, if Governor Zhang asks how to place this person, how should Dai answer?" ”

Yu Junting said: "It is my cousin who is now serving as the official of the government, and I told him to resign and entrust him with an errand in this department." Let Ye Xiaotian do this official! ”

Dai Tong knew: "Since Lord Jianzhou thinks that this Ye Xiaotian is in the way. Transfer him to Tongren, aren't you afraid that he will become the Monkey King who makes trouble in the Heavenly Palace? ”

Yu Junting said confidently: "Zhang Fatzi is the Jade Emperor, Yu is the Buddha, even if he Ye Xiaotian is a monkey, he can escape from the palm of my hand?" ”

The magistrates of Shuntianfu and Yingtianfu are from the sixth grade, and the magistrates of the other prefectures are all Zhengqipin, who are in charge of the criminal name and praise the Jidian, that is, the president of the municipal court and the director of the audit bureau. It stands to reason that he has changed from a county official of the eighth grade to a promoter of the seventh grade. This is a big step forward, but there is a special situation here: Tongren is under the rule of a local official.

The biggest difference between the rule of local officials and the rule of liuguan is that although the official hats and official clothes worn by these officials are made by the imperial court, and they call each other the official positions of the imperial court, in fact, they are still tribal chiefs in their bones. The autonomy of all kinds is considerable.

This is not only reflected in the economy, civil affairs, and law, but also in the military, so who will come to you to sue the so-called competent criminal name? You're in charge of auditing. But people's finances are completely independent, who can you audit? Therefore, in the state capital where the local officials were in power. The pusher is an idle official who gets forty-five taels of silver every year.

Dai Tong knew Yu Junting's instructions, and immediately went back to lobby Zhang Da Fat, the prefect of the straw bag, as for the so-called mediation, he didn't even mention a word, this matter was a conspiracy made by him and Yu Junting, how could he really find a way to mediate.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Ye Xiaotian soon received a reply from Tongren Mansion, ordering Ye Xiaotian to temporarily take the position of county commander, with this official document, Ye Xiaotian naturally took office, but many major matters were still handed over to the white master to deal with. Bai Zhushu has been a county magistrate for many years, and his experience is far richer than Ye Xiaotian's, which is also Ye Xiaotian's self-knowledge.

But Ye Xiaotian's move to relinquish power made Li Qiuchi heartbroken, he felt that his lord was too unmotivated, too rich and peaceful, and too unsure of seizing opportunities, so he went to Ye Xiaotian's side from time to time to give him earnest advice.

Before this, he felt very aggrieved, he could have used the case of the mysterious death of Zhao's daughter-in-law to make a name for himself in the world, but Dong Weng made the case small and small for political interests. No matter what, since he has taken refuge in Ye Xiaotian, Ye Xiaotian's interests are his interests, and this reputation is not necessary, real power is the most tangible interest.

But now Ye Xiaotian is not keen on real power, Li Daxiang really can't bear it! From time to time, he went to admonish Ye Xiaotian bitterly, and when he said that he was emotional, he burst into tears, looking at the situation, Ye Xiaotian would not accept the advice again, and he would write a blood letter to hang himself

Ye Xiaotian felt his enthusiasm at first, and he was also kind to persuade him, but then he was really disturbed, Ye Xiaotian didn't say much, and the next day he asked Bai Zhushu for two official duties to be handled, and after understanding it carefully, he went to the school to take the examination Li Qiuchi.

Ye Xiaotian threw the two official documents to Li Qiuchi and said, "This official has never been in charge of the government affairs of a county, and I am afraid that I will be negligent, so I entrust it to the white master." Since the gentleman is not angry, these two matters will be dealt with, and if they are handled properly, the official will consider taking back his powers. ”

Ye Xiaotian thought that Li Qiuchi would investigate for a long time, and he would ask all the people involved before replying, but he didn't want Li Qiuchi to take the two official documents, ten lines at a glance, and after a moment of hard work, he picked up the pen and wrote, and after a moment of hard work, the two official documents had a verdict and submitted it back to his case.

Ye Xiaotian was taken aback: "It's done so quickly?" Legend has it that there was a phoenix in the Three Kingdoms, and he dealt with the county affairs in one day. ”

Li Qiuchi said with a smile: "Don't dare, don't dare, these two small cases are naturally easy to judge." ”

Ye Xiaotian hurriedly followed the example of the big-eared thief Liu Bei, invited Mr. Li to sit down, and poured him a cup of tea with his own hands, and then returned to his seat. Unfold the two official documents and take a closer look.

After reading the first sentence of Li Qiuchi, Ye Xiaotian frowned, but he did not speak, but opened the second one, after reading this Ye Xiaotian finally couldn't hold it back, and said to Li Qiuchi with a straight face: "Mr. is wrong, both cases are wrong!" ”

Li Qiuchi asked unhurriedly, "Dong Weng thinks the student's judgment is wrong?" ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Sir, please look at this first copy, saying that a certain squire kicked a villager on a horse, causing his thigh to fracture, and he needs to recuperate for 100 days." However, his family was poor, only his sick wife and weak children were unable to cultivate the fields, so he sued the squire and asked for compensation for medical expenses and various expenses such as hiring people to cultivate the fields.

Just looking at the situation, the squire is hateful, and the villagers are pitiful, but the official visits the township, but learns that there is another truth. The squire was going to the city to visit his friends. Stopping in front of the house, it was the villagers who had a stubborn temperament. First, he threw stones to play with the horse, and then pulled the horse's tail, causing the horse's hooves to be injured. It has nothing to do with the squire. ”

Li Qiuchi smiled slightly and asked, "What do you think is wrong with the students in the second case?" ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "This case is about a peasant woman's husband who was sick, and her daughter-in-law went to ask her father-in-law for money to see a doctor. He had a verbal altercation with his father-in-law and pushed his father-in-law, causing him to fall to the ground and be injured. It is for disobedience. But this may not be the case, according to the official investigation, the father-in-law has always been indecent, often harassed the country women, and also spied on other people's women bathing. So it is very likely that what the daughter-in-law told is true, and it was the father-in-law who took advantage of him, so there was a quarrel. The gentleman did not examine the facts, so he sentenced his daughter-in-law to lose the lawsuit, and the rod was twenty, which was too arbitrary. ”

Ye Xiaotian said to Li Qiuchi earnestly: "Mr. is enthusiastic, he wants to help the official with government affairs, and his heart is good, but although Mr. has been a teacher for a long time and is familiar with litigation affairs, he needs to think twice before handling a case, and he should not be gullible in his words." ”

Li Qiuchi laughed and said, "Dong Weng's words are wrong. If you are poor and weak and sue a rich family, must you be full of grievances? Not necessarily! If this is the case, why come to the countryside ruffian. If you commit the following crimes, must you be disobedient, unfilial, and disrespectful to your elders? Not necessarily, otherwise how can it be disrespectful to the old? The sound of blood and tears is not necessarily the truth of blood and tears. ”

Ye Xiaotian was surprised: "Since Mr. understands, why is he so rash? ”

Li Qiuchi said: "The student is not rash, it is precisely after thinking twice that there is such a cautious judgment!" ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Why do you say this? ”

Li Qiuchi said: "That villager is stubborn and teases the fierce horse, and he has already been taught a lesson. Although he is to blame, if he is judged in this way, although he is fair and has no loss, it has hurt his family. He has no money to treat his illness, he is afraid that he will be disabled, he has no money to hire people for spring ploughing, his fields have been abandoned for a year, and his livelihood is even more useless.

However, the squire was held responsible, and the seven taels of silver did not hurt the squire, but it could save the poor man. And it can also be used to warn the rich and powerful squires that the rules will be more regular, and those who are not very well-behaved will not dare to bully their neighbors, isn't it killing two birds with one stone.

Besides, the father-in-law quarreled with the father-in-law, the father-in-law may really be disrespectful to the old, but looking at his past actions, he may not dare to do things that are too much, and others are old and weak, and they will be pushed down by their daughter-in-law, how can they do really illegal things.

If he is found guilty in this case, the old man molests his daughter-in-law, the reputation of the daughter-in-law is damaged, and the relationship between father and son is broken, so why bother. In addition, there are many peasant women in the countryside who are shretty and disrespectful to their elders, and there is a precedent for this, once they hate their elders and are unwilling to support them, they will make false accusations, who is the culprit?

Regardless of the truth, it is only judged by the quarrel of the father-in-law, and there is filial piety first, and no one dares to say that Dong Weng is wrong. As for the twenty rods, since Dong Weng knew that the peasant woman was innocent, wouldn't he have instructed the officials to just make a show? It is only disrespectful to judge her, so that it not only protects the dignity of the family, but also does not condone the evil women in the countryside to do the same, and often sue her in-laws. ”

Ye Xiaotian was stunned by Li Qiuchi's words.

Li Qiuchi said to Ye Xiaotian earnestly: "Dong Weng must know that the law is the law, and the law cannot be the law for the sake of the law. The legal principle is nothing more than reasonableness, and how to maintain the stability and harmony under the rule to the greatest extent is the most appropriate decision. The students heard that Hai Ruihai Qingtian decided that if the poor and the rich compete, regardless of the indiscriminate, the poor will be sentenced to victory. Whenever the younger generation fights with the elders, regardless of whether it is indiscriminate, the elder will be judged to win the lawsuit.

That's what comes first, and the result? Everyone is vying for praise, giving him an umbrella for all the people, taking off his boots and leaving his love, leaving a name in history! Dong Weng, maintaining the foundation of morality is fundamental, and judging right and wrong is still secondary, what is social conditions and public opinion, this is it! ”

Ye Xiaotian continued to open his mouth.

Li Qiuchi said: "After dealing with the county affairs for 100 days within the day of the reunification of the Three Kingdoms, you can understand it clearly if he doesn't visit anything or ask anything?" Outrageous! It's just that he has a certain rule in his heart, and no matter what the truth is, he will definitely make it impossible to refute it.

If Dong Weng does not believe it, he can simply hand over these two cases to Bai Zhushu, and if his verdict does not match what the student said, the student will immediately roll up and leave. My lord, you are in these two cases for the purpose of examining me, so you went to investigate carefully.

However, a county is sealed, real household registration, tax collection, average service, water conservancy, persuasion of agriculture, leading the army, eliminating thieves, running schools, degrading the people, relieving exiles, helping the poor, breaking prisons and lawsuits, and so on, all kinds ......of affairs, can you check them one by one, if you don't have such rules in mind, how to govern in an orderly manner?

Ye Xiaotian looked up to the sky and sighed: "Listening to your words, it is better to read for ten years, Mr. Li, this county is better than you to do it!" ”

Before he could say anything, Ma Hui ran in and reported: "Second master, Master Li, the official of Tongren Mansion, has arrived in Hu County, please go to the front of the Yaqian to greet him!" ”

Ye Xiaotian was stunned: "What did the green hat king do?" ”

: Li Dazhuang sincerely asks for monthly tickets and recommended tickets!.
