Chapter 67: The two-pronged approach to the king's law is soft
Yi Chengjin said "what crime should be done", which frightened Gao County.
"Lord Yi, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, I am peaceful in Luliang County, as a parent official, conscientious, fair and honest, self-disciplined and ......"
"In the land under your jurisdiction, there are exiles who dare to attack the officials of the imperial court, rob horses and kill people, even if we have the ability to protect ourselves, we will be spared. If I go back to Beijing and mention it to the emperor, do you still want the black gauze hat on your head? Yi Chengjin said coldly.
"This, this...... When was this? Why didn't the lower officials know? β
Beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the high county order, and the magistrate had few chances to see the emperor, especially his seven-grade county order, and he might not be able to see the emperor for the rest of his life, and the emperor belittled you and killed you, so he didn't have to think about the situation at all. Therefore, what the magistrate is most afraid of is that someone will sue the emperor in front of him, and he will not even have a chance to appeal to the saint.
The magistrate's sore feet, Yi Chengjin knows very well.
He continued, "You don't know? There are still many things you don't know, do you know that some people are coercing farmers in Luliang to collect land at a low price? Do you know that the land is not given silver, and the moldy old rice is used to offset the account? β
"This ...... There is a title deed for the sale of land, and both parties sign and draw a pledge, this is what you and I want, and it is always difficult for the lower officials to meddle in private transactions, right? As for Chen Mi...... Nor can we listen to the words of those who are not on the one hand. β
"If the pledge is painted with blood, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, as long as the land seller can produce the evidence of being forced, it is an invalid contract. As a parent official, Master Gao is familiar with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, so he won't know this, right? Yi Chengjin accentuated the words "parent official", and he sweated two drops after hearing the high county order.
"Tall, sir!" I saw a tall and thin man in a red robe rushing over, pointing at Yi Chengjin, but turning his head to Gao County Ling and saying: "This is your territory, they are just the six-rank military attache of Duobi ants in the capital, do you believe his words?" The one who guards the door for the emperor is still a third-grade military attachΓ©, what qualifications does he have to see the emperor? β
Gao Xian Ling silently took out a handkerchief to wipe his face, not because he was sweating, but because Wang Fa sprayed too much saliva.
Wang Fa is right, although his father was a courtier of Emperor Jianwen, and Emperor Yongle abandoned it after he ascended the throne, but he knew the doorway in the officialdom clearly. Since his brother-in-law was promoted to Xuzhou Mansion Yin, Wang Fa is under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou Mansion, and he has gradually become "Wang Fa".
Yi Chengjin has always been under the wing of Wei Zuo Shilang, where has he been hit like this? Only then did he realize how important the official title was, and he was angry for a while, and was about to move his father-in-law's name out, Hu Yanjin stepped forward and pressed his shoulder, and slowly said to Gao County:
"The six-rank military attache is indeed difficult to face the saint, but the official's complaint can be heard directly to heaven. What's more, the reason why officials were robbed and killed was because local officials coerced peasants to sell their land at a low price in order to achieve their own goal of annexing land and dominating one side. You say, will the emperor be interested? β
Wang Fa was stunned for a moment, this brother is right, dominating one side is the taboo of today's emperor. Gao Xian Ling just wiped his face clean, and now he has to continue to wipe it, and he redressed his grievances with a handful of snot and tears:
"Two adults, the lower official really doesn't know, is it really good that you beat the lower official to death with such a stick? Which homeless people have collided with the adults? The lower official will let people investigate, catch people and make you angry, and you can kill or chop them...... The matter of the complaint is not mentioned, and ......"
"Arrest? Not necessarily. As soon as Hu Yanjin's voice fell, the official outside the door ran in in a hurry to report:
"Tall man! Oh no! There is another group of farmers at the gate of the county government! β
Gao Xian Ling hurriedly looked at Hu Yanjin and asked nervously: "Lord Huyan, this, this, this...... What's going on? β
"Those tenants and peasant households originally came to the yamen to reason, but they were framed by a group of beggars who collected black money, mixed in with the crowd, and smashed the yamen, so they had to flee from the city. This official wants the tall people to enforce the law impartially and leave a way for those people to live. β
Hu Yanjin's voice was not loud, but he smashed on Wang Fa's heart every sentence: After doing it for a long time, these two bars are here to dismantle Lao Zitai! Can't we shut you up and not sue, can't we let you die and sue? Lang Daming, the death of two six-rank military attaches is considered a good thing!
After making up his mind, Wang Fa's stiff shoulders also relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Lord Gao is a good official who is in charge of the people, since what he said is a misunderstanding, then he will not blame these untouchables in the past, let them do what they should do, you two can be regarded as doing a good deed for the people, and it will be remembered for eternity." β
Bah! Through the ages? I'm still immortal! Gao Xianling secretly said in his heart: You kid is here again, poke the basket, don't ask Lao Tzu to wipe your ass again!
I was forced to talk in my heart, and my face was angry. A greasy smile immediately appeared on him, and he hurriedly promised, "Yes, yes, yes!" Don't blame the past, don't blame the past, let them continue to stay in Luliang County, and the lower officials will never embarrass them again. β
These two people sang well in the double reed, and the question of returning the land to agriculture became a question of benevolence. Yi Chengjin grew up under the teaching of his father-in-law since he was a child, although he couldn't be a six-grade mung bean official for less than a year, but he was not an official.
I saw Gao Xianling look at the sky and said: "Oh, you see it's late this day, and the Xiaguan here has coarse tea and light rice, so there will be no two adults to eat......"
Yi Chengjin sneered: "Master Gao is so protective of your shortcomings, this official sees that you not only don't want to wear a black gauze hat, I'm afraid you don't even want your head, right?" Now that the official suspects that you took bribes in the case of forcible land seizure, the Criminal Department can directly file a case for investigation! β
Without waiting for Gao County Ling to react, Hu Yanjin reminded with a sincere smile:
"Lord Gao, the farmers and tenants outside, but they came with a lawsuit from Lianmin, and it was this Wang Fa who forced them to sell their land. The imperial grandson is currently entrusted by the emperor to be in charge of the three law divisions, the James Mansion...... And he bears it. β
He turned to Wang Fa and said, "If Wang Gongzi's brother-in-law is an insider, I am afraid that he will not escape accountability......
Wang Faxin said: Count you ruthless! Let you go first, and when you can get out of Luliang, we will talk about accountability! He exclaimed, "Good! This son agrees to retreat! β
Not long after, a pile of land deeds was sent to the county government. Those small farmers who were forced to sell their land came with the intention of exchanging moldy rice for more silver, but they were pleasantly surprised to hear the good news that they could get their land back.
After returning the mildew, tearing up the title deed, and hearing that the county order was not guilty of the previous smashing of the county government, he hurriedly went to find those who fled.
At the gate of the county government, a group of farmers and tenants knelt in front of Hu and Yi.
The father of the dog took the lead in kowtowing to them three times, and his face wrinkled like a chrysanthemum, with the shyness unique to a farmer: "My lord saves us from fire and water, and ensures that our family does not have to fall into the suffering of the homeless, and in the next life, we will be cattle and horses, and then we will repay the kindness of the two ......"
Hu and Yi also made waves in their hearts, and their own efforts were exchanged for the peace of others. The two even thought in unison, is it possible to change the master of the Ming Dynasty, and the people in this world will be more peaceful?
Under the sky of the Ming Dynasty now, how many such miasma are there?
