In fact, they have seen a lot of people, and they have seen four fights in this day alone. It's not yet time for lunch, and if it gets dark, it is estimated that there will be as many as seven or eight if there are not ten.

When there are too many people in this kind of case, the officials lose interest and have no patience. Anyway, they are not in a hurry, and when the time comes, as soon as the two sides see the master of the criminal name, they know the price.

There will be no arrogance on both sides. They are all villagers, farmers who have nothing to do when they are full, and they don't know the market of the yamen, let alone the rules of the yamen for taking on cases.

Once they knew, they would never come to the yamen to complain again. The officials don't care about them now, as long as they don't let them go.

For the officials, the person who sued was not a person but money, a pile of money. From the moment they walked into the yamen, it meant that they were going to be blackmailed by the yamen people.

If you enter the yamen to file a complaint, whether it is the plaintiff or the defendant, you have to pay 50 yuan each

"Admission fee", also called

"Entrance fee". If you want to file a complaint, you have to register with the famous master of the Taoist punishment, and the money involved in the economy starts with one or two pieces of silver, and the fight starts with eight dollars of silver, and if you ask for financial compensation, plus expenses.

The criminal master asked the plaintiff to show the pleadings, that is

"Indictment". If the plaintiff does not know the characters or the pleadings are not in accordance with the rules, the criminal master or ghostwriter, or the introducer ghostwrites, at least half a tael of silver.

Paid

After the "registration fee" and the certificate are given, it is necessary to schedule the promotion. Generally speaking, if you declare a case, you will be promoted to the court after three days, and if you want to hurry, you will have to add money.

Don't think that you can be promoted to the church just like that, actually

The "big head" hasn't come yet. The front are all officials and criminal masters

"Small actions", the latter is the big one of the yamen officials

"Oil and water". If an adult wants to ascend to the church, he must hand it over

"Processing Fee". A county has a county magistrate, and he is a seven-grade official position, which is commonly known as it

"County Master" or is

"Big Master". A county officer, who is an eight-grade official, is also called because he assists the county magistrate in managing the county government

"Second Master". Only two people, the county magistrate and the county magistrate, have the right to sit in court to hear the case, and the others cannot make a judgment, and it has no legal effect.

In order to distinguish

"Big Master" and

The authority of the "second master", generally speaking, major cases or homicide cases must be tried by the county magistrate.

Besides, the magistrate is the head of a county, so he has the right to use the main hall of the yamen. The county can only use the second hall of the yamen to hear cases, and only when the county magistrate is absent or the magistrate is instructed by the magistrate, the county magistrate has the right to use the main hall.

The rule of Pingyao County is to know that if the county is promoted, the starting fee is five taels of silver, and the county is cheaper, as long as three taels of silver.

This is just a court fee, and if you want to win the case absolutely, you have to pay it

"Contribution Fee". It is said that it was delivered

The "contribution fee" does not necessarily win absolutely, if the other party gives more, or if the county magistrate doesn't like it, it will still be judged that this side will lose.

After the people of the yamen ate the plaintiff and the defendant, neither the plaintiff nor the defendant had a hard time. Once these people know these things, they will die.

In a momentary rage, they got into a fight and went to the yamen, and even if they won the lawsuit, the money they lost was not enough for the yamen. After a lawsuit, it is estimated that these people have lost their income for several years.

Therefore, some officials who are related to the people who are involved in the lawsuit will rush their relatives back as soon as possible. Those who have no relatives and no reason have to wait to be slaughtered.

But these days, the people in Pingyao County are not very happy. Because there are several cases almost every day where they don't get the money, and they watch the money that should be theirs slip away.

The reason is very simple, there are two more people in the county government who should not have existed. They, no, it should be said that he and she are not originally from the Pingyao County Ya, but he and her appearance in the Pingyao County Ya are not counted, and it seriously affects the income of the people in the Yamen.

But whether it is the criminal master or the arrester, or the county prince, no one dares to offend him and her. Because if it were to fight, they would not be her opponents combined.

That's right, it's her, it's such a woman. She is not a woman with five big and three thick, nor is she a woman like Sister-in-law Gu who opened a black shop in "Water Margin", but she is so powerful.

People who haven't fought with him definitely don't believe that she's so powerful, but those who have fought definitely believe that this woman is not human.

If you talk about the "Ming Law", they can't talk about him, although he is usually sloppy, but when it comes to criminal law, he is definitely the authority of the authorities.

He and she didn't rob the yamen's business, nor did they not let the yamen handle the case. It's just to inform the person who is going to file a lawsuit in advance, about the procedure and cost of the lawsuit.

As a result, these high-spirited people, after their minds were cold, decided not to fight the lawsuit and asked to go home.

They don't have to make the least

"Passing fees", without spending a lot of money that scares people to death. There really is someone connected

If she can't get the "pass fee", she will take these people out the back door when she is overflowing with love. The back door is unguarded, so you don't have to hand it over

"Admission fee". Even if there are officials guarding it, it is useless, as long as she glares at the officials, she will not dare to ask for money.

Even if someone really wants to file a lawsuit, he will take the initiative to write pleadings and help the lawyer defend the plaintiff and give ideas, all for free.

Because of his and her appearance, almost half of the cases in Pingyao County have been missing, and of course nearly half of them have been missing

"Oil and water". The officials dared not speak out against him and her, and some people had long wanted to deal with him and her. However, there was a warning from the magistrate, and there was a bold person who invited guests from time to time, so there was no infighting.

The people in the yamen were unhappy, but the people of Pingyao liked him and her very much. There is a nursery rhyme circulating in the local area, which means that there are two big masters in Ping*Yao, one is in charge of the court to try the case, and the other is in charge of solving the case.

When the common people encounter difficulties, they are looking for a woman, and they want to file a lawsuit to find the old man. The heroine is anxious for justice and righteousness, and she is jealous of evil.

The old gentleman was witty and well-versed in the law. The most powerful thing is the little master, who not only solves the case, but also dares to take responsibility.

After Pingyao had these three people, not only did the law and order improve, but there were also fewer unjust cases. These three people are Qin Tai, the official of the Sixth Rank of the Criminal Department of the Criminal Department, Qin Tai's wife, the heroine Zhanxiao, and the mysterious and capable old drunkard master.

Three years ago, Qin Tai was in the capital, and invited the tablets and portraits of the previous emperors, forcing Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houyu to return to the Forbidden City, not to mention, and forcing Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi to give up cultivation.

Although Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi did not fully admit his mistakes and did not completely solve the shortcomings of the court, he played a major role.

For this reason, the eunuchs did not dare to interfere too much in the government affairs, and the Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, who was obsessed with cultivation, also determined a successor, which played a key role in the new emperor's accession to the throne soon after.

This was something that Qingliu had been unable to do with his unremitting efforts for more than ten years, so he also saved a great loyal minister, Hai Rui.

But Qin Tai not only did not receive any reward, but was also dismissed on the spot. Jia Baishun, the county magistrate of Tong*Ling, who Qin Tai dealt with back then, became Lang Zhong of the Criminal Department because of Xu Jie's relationship, that is, Qin Tai's supervisor.

Jia Baishun dismissed Qin Tai from all his posts on the grounds that Qin Tai abused his power and interfered too much in local affairs, and even withdrew the power of Qin Tai's criminal department.

Originally, Zhang Juzheng or Tan Lun could help Qin Tai speak, as long as they spoke, even if Qin Tai was not promoted, at least he could keep his original position.

But something unexpected happened, due to his old age, plus Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, who had been taking a large number of harmful pills for a long time, died soon after his illness worsened under Qin Tai's coercion and stimulation.

As the new emperor, Emperor Longqing could not be restored immediately

"Angry" his father's position as Qin Tai of the first emperor, as the most loyal courtier of Emperor Longqing and important figures in the future cabinet, Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun were embarrassed to help Qin Tai speak.

In addition, Chen Hong, the new eunuch in charge of the seal, and Xu Jie, the first assistant of the cabinet who remained in office, were not optimistic about Qin Tai, and both of them wanted Qin Tai to never turn over.

As a result, Qin Tai not only lost the opportunity to advance, but also lost his official position. But fortunately, there are many officials like Qin Tai in the capital, and the imperial court can't deal with them all at once.

The imperial court divided these officials who had no actual positions into three types, the first type was those who made mistakes and were dismissed, these people should be sent to prison, and those who should be dismissed for the people went back to be ordinary people.

The second type of official, like Qin Tai, although they made a little mistake, they were not completely defeated, and the court asked them to go back and wait for news.

When did the court think of them, and then ask them to come back to do things. When they go home and wait for news, they keep their grades and send half of them.

The third type is the upstart of the DPRK and China who have been awarded the actual position. As long as these people have money or connections, they can take office immediately.

If you don't have money and no way, you may never be able to become an official. Because they have not been officials, they don't even have a fortune, and the court only needs to give some rice.
