Chapter 201, do something
Because he set off a little late, by the time Pan Long arrived at the Shendu, it was already late.
Calculating the time, each yamen has already finished the day's work. So he went to Cangfu in Nanxia City first, but only saw Mrs. Cang Bai Yingxuan.
"My family officials have been coming back late for the past few days. "And every day I worry about it, as if something is going on." ”
Pan Long sighed and told her about the lawsuits that the patrol envoys from all over the country had eaten.
This matter must have been carried out by officials who oppose the change of law, and since they have created such a big situation, they will certainly take the opportunity to make the matter bigger, and then blow the prestige of the entire patrol system. It will never be solved silently, or it will be a black-box deal.
Bai Yingxuan frowned again and again when he heard this, and finally asked: "Are those cases all true? Not one of them is unjust, false or wrongly convicted?"
"I don't think so. Pan Long sighed, "What's more, there are more than a thousand cases, even if there are one or two unjust, false and wrongful cases, it will not help the overall situation!"
"If there is one, even if it is ten thousand!" Bai Yingxuan's eyes flashed with coldness, "Those people didn't come out to fight a lawsuit before, but now they have jumped out, and some of them may not forget to take revenge, but most of them must be for profit." As long as a person who is falsely accused is beaten to death, coupled with threats and inducements, at least these people who come forward to sue for the sake of profit can be much more restricted. ”
Pan Long was stunned, he didn't expect Bai Yingxuan to have such a scheming.
On second thought, there is nothing more insidious and vicious in the world than brothels and prisons. She has been painting for many years, even if she doesn't use much intrigue and trickery, she must have learned a lot of tricks. It seems natural to have such scheming.
However, Pan Long felt that her method was still a little worse after all.
And...... She clearly didn't really know the Wind Patrol either.
People who are willing to be patrol are generally some decent and insistent. They can be cunning or vicious, but when it comes to the key issue of right and wrong, they are unwilling to back down.
If it is a false accusation, they must not care what means are used, and there are even many people who want to directly kill the person who made the false accusation.
But if they can't live up to their conscience when they talk about the real thing, they will be tied up, and all kinds of cunning and ferocious means will not be used, so they can only be restrained.
Interests can trap villains, and morality can trap gentlemen, it's just that everyone cares about different things.
Decency always has some insistence that seems silly to ordinary people, but it is precisely because they have such persistence that they are decent.
The so-called "good people are worse than bad people" is actually just angry talk, good people...... It can be cunning or fierce, but it can't be bad.
Pan Long sighed and explained these reasons.
Bai Yingxuan frowned again and again when he heard this, and finally sighed: "That...... Isn't it easy for good people to be bullied?"
Pan Long smiled: "Being a good person, it is easy to get everyone's support, and it is natural to pay some price for it." If you want everyone to support you, but you don't want to suffer, how can there be the best of both worlds in the world?"
Bai Yingxuan didn't say anything, but looking at her expression, she knew that she didn't agree with Pan Long's statement.
Probably in her opinion, the benefit of "getting everyone's support" is not as good as the loss of "doing things must pay attention to means".
"Since Brother Cang is still working overtime, then I will go to Shendu to find him. Pan Long sighed, said goodbye to Bai Yingxuan, jumped up in the wind, and flew into the air, but did not immediately approach the Shendu.
The Divine Capital is the residence of the Son of Heaven, the central core of the entire Great Xia Dynasty, and the control center of the Kyushu Great Array. It has very strict management of personnel entry and exit, and if you want to enter and exit freely without permission, you must have an official of the upper three grades.
Pan Long, as an envoy of Youzhou Wind Watching, is a fifth-rank official, so naturally he can't trespass - that will attract the attack of the Divine Capital Guardian Array.
How powerful is the Shendu Great Array? No one can say. But it is certain that this great array does not even need to be specially launched, and its own strength alone is enough to kill ordinary real people - in the early years of Great Xia, this kind of thing has happened before, and more than once.
Pan Long stood in the air about two hundred zhang away from the Divine Capital, took out his official seal, and his true qi was introduced, sending a message to it.
A moment later, there was a response from inside the official seal, and at the same time, a pillar of light appeared in front of him, leading him into the Divine Capital.
Officials of the upper three grades can directly enter the divine capital, and the middle three grades can apply to enter the divine capital.
As for the next three products, they don't even have the qualifications to apply on their own initiative, so they can only be applied by Shangguan on their behalf.
As far as Pan Long knew, when the Divine Capital was just built, the rules were not like this.
Wen Chao, who designed this formation, did not design the content of "granting the right to enter the city according to the level of the official", what he designed was "to grant the right to enter the city according to whether the application is reasonable".
Over the years, Great Xia has changed a lot, and the great array of this guardian god capital is one of them.
Sighing in his heart, Pan Long flew into the Shendu and soon came to the Wind Patrol Division.
The interior of the Wind Patrol Division was brightly lit, and from a distance, the sound of arguments could be heard from the other side of the council hall.
He walked to the door, and the guards at the gate noticed the official uniform on his body, and his eyes lit up.
"Are you Master Pan of Youzhou?" asked the middle-aged man with only one leg left and a weakened breath.
Pan Long smiled and nodded.
The other party is a senior patrol envoy who was injured at work, and he should be respected.
"You're so good to be here! I'll take you to see Cangyu Shi and them. The doorman immediately walked in front to lead the way, and said as he went, "Everyone has been worried these days. It happened so suddenly, and on such a large scale, everyone knew that someone must be making trouble. Who's doing the trick? You can almost guess it. ”
"What's the use of guessing? Those cases are true. It's true, and nothing else really matters. The almost retired patrol envoy sighed, "If it is a mistake caused when handling a case, it can be said that it is a public way to be merciless." Grievances before joining the company...... I really can't find any excuses!"
"After all, the source of our Wind Patrol ......" Pan Long didn't finish his sentence, but the old Wind Patrol also understood what he meant.
Among the patrol envoys, there are too few people who are really cultivated by the court and have a clean net worth.
Does the imperial court have its own channels for cultivating talents? Of course, there is. However, those who have been trained are less powerful to become officials and catch fast, and those who are stronger are included in the army or even secret guards.
The patrol makes this department similar to the Shenji Battalion, which is a cold yamen outside the mainstream of the imperial court. If the imperial court does not deduct expenses, everyone is already thankful, where can you expect the imperial court to send enough people over?
"If only this could happen a few years later!" sighed the old patrolman, "a few years later, a new generation of manpower will be cultivated......
An important part of this reform is to strengthen patrols. It is not only power that has been strengthened, but also manpower.
According to the law change plan, about 20% of the young backbones trained by the imperial court in the past two years have been selected as wind patrol envoys. On such a long day, the old wind patrol envoys never dreamed of it.
However, most of those young backbones have not yet been able to fully grow up, and now most of them can only do some auxiliary work, and it will be at least a few years before they can grow up enough to take the lead.
Pan Long naturally knew about this situation.
Their enemies, of course, also know.
So it's not surprising that they took advantage of this time to make trouble......
