Chapter 414: Someone Digging a Pit?
Fang Yingwu is really helpless about the state he received today, and the persimmon has to be picked up softly, he can pinch the third-rate lord Yongpingbo, but he definitely can't pinch this uncle, who is known as the Lord of Tuesday.
As long as the Empress Dowager Zhou, who is known for being rude, pungent and protective, is still alive, it is estimated that no one can touch the Zhou family, according to Fang Zhixian "memory", this Empress Dowager Zhou seems to have lived until the Hongzhi period.
At this time, the official sent out to inspect the situation came back and reported: "Master! The woman who complained was really guarding the corner of the outside gate of the county government, she brought her own dry food, and said that she had been sleeping there before the outcome of the case. β
Who are these people? Fang Yingwu rubbed his forehead worriedly, if it is really a person who is afraid of being famous and a pig is afraid of being strong, is it the wrong path he has chosen? If it is emulated in the future, and countless people come to him to splash and roll, won't the name of Qingtian become a laughing stock?
In the back office, Fang Zhixian showed the pleadings to Lou Tianhua. After reading it, Master Lou said thoughtfully: "The land that the He woman claims to have been forcibly occupied is actually a wasteland without money and grain. β
Fang Zhixian asked: "She claims that her family makes a living from arable land, how can the thirty acres of land be wasteland?" β
Lou Tianhua sighed and said: "Let's start from the beginning, when Emperor Taizong raised troops to appease, the capital and Beizhi were all battlefields, and after the war, there were sparsely populated ten rooms and nine empty, and a large area of land was barren. Therefore, Emperor Taizong issued an edict to encourage the people in the suburbs of Beijing and Beizhili to reclaim wasteland, and promised that the newly reclaimed wasteland would never be cultivated.
Therefore, this batch of fields has not received grain for 60 years, and it is no different from wasteland in the imperial court atlas, and the ownership of the land is also very vague, and there is no accurate statement whether it is private land or official land. β
Fang Yingwu suddenly understood. I often heard that a certain magnate in Jingshi had forcibly occupied the people's land again, but he had always wondered. How exactly does this work? Could it be that you can run to other people's fields and draw a circle to occupy them?
It turns out that the problem is here. Sixty years ago, the imperial court encouraged the people to reclaim a large amount of wasteland with the benefit of not paying food. However, the ownership of the property is not clear.
And now the Son of Heaven wants to reward the honorable relatives, often giving a certain number of acres of land, and when the honored relatives take away a certain number of acres of land with a wave of his hand, he deliberately includes the fields that the people have cultivated as wasteland, thus generating rumors of forcibly occupying the people's land.
In the family of the suffering master of today's case, the wife of the He family, the eight achievements are such a situation. Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu had even more headaches.
The 30 acres of land of the He family are relatively vague in law, and there is no clear legal basis to support property rights, so there is no way to rely on them. But the people won't care about that. All they know is that they have another powerful person who has taken possession of the land of the good people.
The status quo is like this, it is impossible to rule by law, and it can only be ruled by people. Fang Yingwu also faintly felt that this pro-people official is really difficult to do, it turns out that the Ming Dynasty is a good county that is good at this kind of muddy county, and the so-called followers are also.
When Fang Yingwu was discussing with Lou Tianhua, someone outside the door suddenly reported: "Someone from Dongchang wants to see the master!" "Fang Yingwu is unknown. You can only let the door in.
Not long after, a military attache from Dongchang was brought in and said to Fang Zhixian: "I will give an order to transfer Wei Ying and others from Xichang and the case file to your county." I would like to ask Fang Xianzun to hear the verdict. β
Fang Yingwu was taken aback, extremely confused. Wei Ying and others from the West Factory were all arrested by the East Factory, how could they suddenly hand it over to themselves? Besides. Let him interrogate the case of factory guards in a county magistrate, there has never been such a precedent.
Fang Yingwu gave Lou Tianhua a look. Lou Tianhua quietly took out a silver ingot and stuffed it to the Dongchang official school in front of him, and asked: "This is really a mistake that I can't figure out. Please give me some advice. β
I saw that the other party hesitated for a moment: "This" Lou Tianhua patted his chest and said: "But don't worry!" The words here will not be spread, only for our generation to solve doubts, otherwise the sky will thunder. β
The military attache of the East Factory weighed the amount of silver, "The factory governor Shang Gong marched to the Son of Heaven, the Tao is Wanping County is in charge of the boundary of Xicheng, and the ground of the West Factory is also included, it is more convenient for Wanping County to review the crimes of the officials and schools of the West Factory, and Wei Ying embezzled three thousand taels from Wanping County, so it is more appropriate for Wanping County to interrogate." In this way, the Son of Heaven will go here to hand over the criminal case file. β
After Lou Tianhua finished asking, he was stunned and speechless. For him, Shang Ming, the commander of the East Factory, is tantamount to a big person, such a big man suddenly turned his attention to the owner, and inexplicably let the owner decide the case of the West Factory, what is the reason for this?
Fang Yingwu also fell into contemplation, this situation was treacherous, and it couldn't help but make people think about it repeatedly. He had a gut feeling that someone had dug a hole for himself!
Shang Ming stuffed these backbones of the West Factory into his own hands, did he let himself be punished lightly or given a heavy sentence? It stands to reason that when it comes to this Cheng dΓΉ, Shang Ming, Eunuch Wang, and Xichang are already incompatible, and they must hope to resentence the backbone of Xichang, so that Xichang will never turn over.
But Dongchang itself has a criminal court, why should it be done by other parties? There must be something wrong with the abnormality, and something must have happened, so he led Shang Ming to make such a strange move.
As for what can happen recently, Fang Yingwu is still very clear, and the idea of calling a large number of people to cry and shout to hug Shang Ming's thigh is not what he gave Wang Zhi?
Fang Yingwu suddenly woke up, probably Shang Ming also felt a little abnormal, and his suspicion came to his head - after all, Shang Gonggong knew very well that Wang Zhi had a lot to do with him, so he handed over the backbone prisoners of the West Factory to himself?
In Shang's father-in-law's view, this is to push himself into a dilemma. If he treats the backbone of the West Factory lightly, it is easy for Shang's father-in-law to use this as an excuse to carry out further actions, such as complaining to the Son of Heaven that he colluded with Wang Zhi to protect the West Factory.
If he punishes the backbone of the West Factory too much, then he can't explain to Wang Zhi, these people are all real Wang Zhi's henchmen, and they are severely punished by themselves, and they are even more popular with Shang's father-in-law.
After thinking about the cause and effect, Fang Yingwu sighed. Dongchang's eyes and ears are almost the same, if not pervasive, and Shang's father-in-law probably already knows the situation of his disconnection with Wang Zhilian, so he has to think of ways to force himself, and then look for opportunities to take advantage of.
However, this dignified Dongchang Governor also thinks too highly of himself, as if he regards himself as a key target! He's just a small magistrate, so why should he be strict with himself!
In the end, Fang Yingwu still had to snort contemptuously, although Shang Ming's consciousness was in place, but this technique was too clumsy, this person was really not at a high level, no wonder he was ridiculed as the most wasted factory supervisor since the establishment of the East Factory.
When he raised his eyes, he saw Lou Tianhua holding a yellow calendar and reciting words, "What day is today, how can you repeatedly commit Tai Sui?" (To be continued......)
