What was surprising was that it was not the county magistrate of their Qianjiang County who was sitting in the lobby that day, but a young man with sword eyebrows, starry eyes, nose and thin lips.

This prefect is not only the first time that the people of Qianjiang County have seen him, but even Xue Dachuan, who has long been connected by correspondence, is the first time he has seen him.

But as rumored, this prefect is cold and rational, resolute in his work, and even more so in handling cases. No matter how the old man surnamed Ding complains about his grievances and sympathy, the prefect is still iron-faced and selfless, and the son of the Ding family seems to be unable to escape death.

Master Ding was finally angry, and shook out his bribery of 200 taels of silver from the county order on the spot, and loudly scolded the county order for taking the silver and not doing anything, and scolded Xue Dachuan for forcibly breaking into the house as a bandit. But because of the prestige of the prefect, he didn't dare to scold him.

The county magistrate wiped the sweat on his head, and hurriedly explained that Master Ding had bribed him with money, and he had already handed it over to the prefect's case, but he was not greedy for ink!

Seeing that Young Master Ding was about to be sentenced to beheading, it was the lieutenant Xue Dachuan who pleaded with the prefect, saying that it was difficult for Master Ding to endure the pain of losing his son in his old age, and the Ding family had always obeyed the law, except for this matter, he had not done anything that was contrary to the prestige of the imperial court as a traitor.

The cold-faced prefect also relented, and said that since the chief of the house came forward to speak, he opened the net and only exiled the young master of the Ding family to serve as an army, and if he came back with military merits in the future, he could be exempted from the previous crime. As for the two hundred taels of silver that the Ding family tried to bribe the county order, half of it was given to the parents of the bitter lord, and half was used to build the school.

Lord Ding was a little relieved when he heard that his son was confiscated, as long as he was not executed immediately, he was lucky. There is no shortage of money in his family, and he can do a little bit in the army, or he can save a life.

The bitter master's family didn't expect to get such a result, the kid surnamed Ding was sentenced to exile and confiscation into the army, and he also got a hundred taels of silver, such a result was something they didn't even dare to think about before, and the Yu family knelt down to thank the prefect for being the lord of Qingtian.

Only the little prince Ding, who is used to being in the countryside with fine clothes and jade food, cries like killing a pig, let him fill the army, and go to the border land to suffer such inhuman torture, it is better to give him a knife!

The people of Qianjiang County saw this case, and when they went back, they also discussed it one after another, seeing that this government can also make decisions for the people. If the government can call the shots, then wouldn't those clans dare to bully people anymore?

Yuan Zhiheng looked at the trembling Qianjiang County magistrate in front of him, he came along the way, and quickly and decisively disposed of several local petty officials who colluded with the big clans to fish and flesh the common people. Although the county order of Qianjiang County did not collude with the clan, it chose to be unknown and rarely did anything in order to protect Mingzhe's life over the years.

A magistrate like him, Yuan Zhiheng looked at it all the way and found that there were not a few. For this kind of person who did not dare to act because of the situation and did not collude with them to promote arrogance, Yuan Zhiheng did not punish them too much, but admonished them and watched the after-effects.

In fact, these magistrates are also people who have read poetry and books, and when they first entered the eunuch journey, they also had a revenge to govern the world and secure the people. It's a pity that there is such a climate in the Hangzhou Mansion, and he has to be a mediocre and mediocre petty official. Now that the prefect has this determination and ambition, and has given them the direction, the ambition of the past has slowly begun to recover.

Yuan Zhiheng called Xue Dachuan alone before leaving, and he didn't know what to say to Xue Dachuan, and in the following days, there were several more characters similar to Xue Dachuan in Qianjiang County and nearby counties.

is not limited to veterans who have military industry, and some have made a fortune on the water and learned some exquisite entertainment etiquette; has some knowledge hidden in his belly, which is supported by the masses on one side, so that he can make a judgment on the contradictory people, but he has no chance to do scientific research; Some of the families have good land, employing seven or eight long-term workers, and they have a good life, but they are not satisfied with finding another way out, but they are all from big families; A concubine who was born in a big family and has the ability, but he was pressed by his brother-in-law......

Whether it is the county's road construction, school construction, night fire prevention and theft prevention patrols, or liaison office entertainment at the Dragon Boat Festival, they all generously stepped forward to be a leader, and showed up as a stall member, and did it properly.

In the past, these people who were originally named by the government and were chosen by the heads of the big clans of various families to take advantage of them came forward to do it, but now they have been killed by these people who have come out of nowhere to pinch the top, and they have also won the appreciation of the government, and they will inevitably share some actual benefits.

They were all justified in doing this, and whenever someone was red or dissatisfied, they took the document stamped with the seal of the prefect of Hong Yanyan. Tell people that he is the governor who manages this hundred households, and he is personally taught by the prefect and his wife!

Seeing these elders popping up one after another, they shared some of the benefits and dignity that should have belonged to the clan everyone. Some capable concubines in the clan also began to be dissatisfied with the status quo and fought against the division of the big house.

This made those big families suffer inside and outside, and gradually they didn't dare to look down on the government as blatantly as before.

There are also those who do not care about resisting and thinking that they want to fight to the death with the new prefect, Yuan Zhiheng has to meet several gangsters who want to take his life almost every day along the way. Fortunately, he himself has martial arts, is alert and alert, and there is a Yuan Lu by his side, so he can barely save his life, but there are constant major injuries and minor injuries on his body.

Some local officials have been colluding with the clan for a long time, and there is no turning back if they want to get off the boat, so they have to go all the way to the dark, and launch a ruthless partnership to kill him or frame him through side methods, Yuan Zhiheng also has to fight with 120,000 spirits to deal with it.

In the letters exchanged with Dian Cui, Yuan Zhiheng only told her to stay in the inner courtyard of the mansion and not to go out. The self on the side never said more than half a sentence for fear that she would be worried, and Dian Cui had no way of knowing his situation, just that he was able to study and become an official with ease.

On this day, another young squire who had been promoted to the rank of lieutenant in the yamen of the state capital came to the yamen of the state capital to get documents.

Diancui avoided people and carefully went to cover the big seal, and when he went to the front of the yamen, he happened to meet someone beating a drum and shouting grievances.

I don't know why, recently, there have been more people in this place who have taken office, and even the number of people who have come to the government to complain has gradually increased. The two acquaintances who were transferred from the imperial court heard that they were on the way back, and the return date of her family was not known when, and there was only one acquaintance in the yamen of the governor Zhao, who was really struggling.

Here Diancui happened to meet someone beating a drum to cry out grievances, so he went to the back hall to take refuge. The official set up a person, and Diancui took a slight look from behind, only thinking that this person was familiar.

"Who kneels down, and why do you cry out?" Tongzhi-sama asked.

"A little boy in the courtyard in Xia Nai's mansion, come today...... I'm here to sue the wife of the current prefect! ”

"Dare to make a fool of the people!" Tongzhi was so startled by this bold little guy that he almost stood up, and patted the wood in shock: "Hugh is talking nonsense!" ”

"My lord, the prefect's wife has hidden my young grandmother, poor young grandmother, she is already pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Yuan family, and now she has to live outside. My wife is anxious, she has been sick for many days, and the little one is out of righteous indignation, so I want to inform Mrs. Fu, and ask the adults to make a clear decision! ”

After saying that, the little guy snorted and wept bitterly while kowtowing bitterly.

Tongzhi glanced at the document below, and both felt that this matter was a little tricky. They knew that the prefect's wife was listening at the back of the hall, this little guy really deserved to be killed, and there was only a young grandmother who came out of the house, and no one cared about life or death in those big clans, but today she brought the disaster to the inner courtyard of their family.

The prefect didn't know how much he cared about his little lady, and if they were wronged in this matter, when the adults came back, they probably wouldn't be able to eat and walk around.

But if you rashly drive out this little guy who doesn't know what to do, it will be even more inappropriate.

Lord Tongzhi didn't know how to make a decision for a while, and the general judgment below flashed into the inner hall when he saw the situation.

"Ma'am, this ...... But how is it good? Tong Juan looked at Dian Cui with a sad face, when the son of the Yuan family and his wife broke into the inner courtyard of the mansion that day, several of them also saw it, but they kept their mouths shut according to their wife's instructions.

Now that people have come to the door, they have beaten drums and sounded their grievances, and a group of people have gathered outside to watch the excitement.

This matter looks simple, but now at this juncture, it is no longer just the relationship between Diancui and the Yuan family, but the conflict between the government and the family.

"Beat the drum to sound grievances, sue the officials with the people, according to the law, as a nail board, and beat thirty with a killing rod before you can state your grievances." Diancui said softly.

The general judge was stunned, bowed to Diancui, and then walked quickly to the front hall, and whispered a few words to the Tongzhi Lord who was sitting there impatiently listening to the people pointing and pointing below.

Tongzhi was also stunned, he was also from a human background, and he was familiar with this law. It's just that for many reasons, it is useless in Hangzhou Mansion, and now when he mentions it again, he feels shocked.

The official family has its own prestige, how can it be trampled on at will by such a small people who are unscrupulous and unscrupulous.

"Come on, get on the nail board!" The voice of the same acquaintance has an unprecedented sense of majesty.

The little guy shuddered and said in a trembling voice: "My lord, in broad daylight, you are going to bend into a move!" ”

This little guy was obviously instructed by his master, and he also knows what kind of torture is a trick.

"Beat the drum to complain about grievances, sue the officials with the people, according to the law, be a nail board, and beat thirty kills!" Before the Lord Zhi could speak, a small official below said coldly.

How long has it been, these clans don't take the official government in their eyes, and the majesty of the official family has been ignored for a long time!

The left and right servants Malier lifted the nail board, and the killing rod hit the ground, and the sound of "mighty" and "mighty" was deafening.

The little guy was already scared to pee his pants at this time, and the old man couldn't allow him to back down.

After some action, the person has fainted.

Tongzhi took the opportunity to announce that the case would be postponed first, and he would be allowed to wake up and then decide.
