"It's smiling!"

"Adults are worried about the country and the people, let me admire them, how can I laugh at them?"

Xu Rang is two years older than Su Shidu, this age is the age of teasing Sun, but he still has to run around in the officialdom. Really tired. has to be fooled by the unpopular officials, this official is quite boring.

However, Xu Rang is a humble speaker, although he is Su Shi's deputy and Yingzhou's general judge, his official position is very low.

The officials of the Great Song Dynasty were very strict with their personal morality, and they wanted Ouyang Xiu to buy a house back then, but because it was cheap, he was impeached, and Lao Ou was very embarrassed. If it is aimed at the people, no matter how big the official position is, there is a possibility of capsizing. At that time, Zhang Dan's father bought land at home, but because the price was too low, he was impeached by the imperial history and turned into bullying the township. Don't look at Zhang Dian is already a deputy prime minister, but he still has to go back to his hometown to gnaw on the nest.

But if it is aimed at the small officials, military households, and generals......

Even if it is a meritorious man, even if the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty kill the wrong person, they don't have to worry.

Sometimes just because it's disgusting and kills a meritorious person, you don't have to worry about the impeachment of the imperial history. is like Wei Qing, who was disgraced by Han Qi back then, and even when his meritorious generals were killed, he could only swallow his anger.

This is the privilege of the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty, a privilege that borders on unreasonableness.

But Xu Rang does not have such privileges, who makes him just a low-level civil official from the sixth grade. If he hangs up the top titles such as the title, bachelor, straight bachelor, privy envoy, privy deputy envoy, etc., he doesn't need Su Shi to take action at all, and he can handle people by himself.

If there is no evidence, create evidence, there is no chance, arrest people first, and then talk about it, don't worry about killing the wrong one. Don't look at Yushi, who is good at fighting in the nest, as soon as there is a wind and grass, he will bite people like crazy. But when a civilian official kills the wrong general, a junior official, or something like that, not only will they not jump out to impeach, but they will even preach the iron-faced selflessness of the civil servant. Because it is not a pity for these officials to die, it is not a mistake to kill them, but it is a big mistake to let them show off their power and damage the majesty of the court.

But there is a premise, the person presiding over the case must be a high-ranking official.

The position of Zhizhou in the Great Song Dynasty is very unreliable, and the biggest reason is that the imperial court will send ministers to inspect the land from time to time. Wang Anshi, Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan, they all had the experience of being removed from the position of prime minister or deputy prime minister, and then going to the local government to be the governor. It's not just them, the Great Song Dynasty has almost turned this unreasonable system into the norm.

Their task is not to govern the locality, but to remove the destabilizing factors in the locality. This is especially true if it is a high-ranking official, a high-ranking official like Su Shi who has been an official in Yingzhou for a long time, I am afraid that the entire Yingzhou will become his hall.

In order to prevent high-ranking officials from having too much influence on the local area and creating absolute control over the locality, the court will not allow high-ranking officials with additional titles to serve as governors in a real estate period. Like a high-ranking official, it will not last long at the local level. You don't have to wait for a term of office for three years, basically you will change places in one or two years.

To some extent, Su Shi is also such an existence.

But Su Shi is different from others, he is resistant to this style of 'rather kill by mistake than let go', when he was young, he was an official who shook his hands and let his deputy do everything. After experiencing the ups and downs of life, especially after the catastrophe and immortality, he is a lot more pragmatic, but he is only decent. Su Shi is passionate about water conservancy, and there are also good deeds such as establishing a free medical center. But in the face of local diseases, he didn't have much to do.

First, he did not stay in one place for long; Second, there are not many ways to deal with these people.

On the ground in Yingzhou, Xu Rang, the only general judge who has the intention to rectify Yicang fraud, does not have such privileges. This is what makes him helpless in the face of a group of silverfish. Because Chang Ping is not directly under the jurisdiction of the local government, there is also a Yamen of Changping Division at the road level, and if you want to run a warehouse supervisor, you can't get around this yamen.

But did Changping Siken admit that the officials in the underground were full of money and engaged in favoritism?

admitted, it is a dereliction of duty to promote Chang Pingsi.

No, he will not admit it if he is killed, and even in order to shirk responsibility, he will shield the officials who committed the crime.

Moreover, the level of the chief official of the Changping Division is greater than that of Xu Rang, and there is a way that the official is a senior officer who crushes people to death, and Xu Rang has no way to completely settle the selfishness of promoting Changping Division to protect his own people.

Xu Rang didn't care whether Li Kui could understand it or not, and whether he had the heart to rectify the fraud in Yicang, and said to himself: "There are three Yicang on the ground in Yingzhou, and they are all safe and sound in normal years. In recent years, there have been frequent mistakes, fires, water disasters, and even robberies. The old man has been in Yingzhou for four years, and he has been teased by Jia Daoquan and others for four years. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Rang had a long grumble and lamentation, as if he was very unwilling in his heart, but he was helpless to lose.

"The flood in Yingzhou has only become serious over the years, but the old man can guarantee that the losses caused by the flood are very few less than silverfish. I thought that the bachelor could bear it with the hope of the emperor's grace, but I didn't think that the bachelor had a lot of concerns. ”

"What do you mean, Boss?"

"The old man originally suggested that the bachelor doesn't need evidence, and he will talk about it after arresting it first."

"Jia Daoquan, Sun Zhuo, Liu An and others have accumulated cases in the state capital, so they will be detained first. Although it is a means of borrowing and taking money out of the ordinary, it is not impossible to make up your mind. As long as there are no of them, the thieves will have no backbone, and they will naturally not be able to harm the people. There are so many people who are oppressed by it, so naturally there are grievances of injustice, as long as there is time, the evidence will come from itself. ”

"Doesn't it matter if you make a mistake?"

Li Kui felt that Xu Rang had a lot of taste for himself, this was a person who did things! It's a pity that Xu Rang's official position is a little lower, and his age is ...... It seems to be a bit bigger, too. can be full of momentum, and there is a kind of old and strong look. But after years of grievances, Xu Rang seemed to be disappointed again.

"Yingzhou's predicament is not only a flood, but also a man-made disaster!" I saw him shake his head and said: "Jia Daoquan's sin is not only his greed for the grain of the Yicang of Mo, but also the lending of money, embezzlement of land, and forcible seizure, and all kinds of means. But every time I check him, I always let him dodge. The officials of the Great Song Dynasty are appointed once every three years, and most of them will move after three years. The old man has served two terms in Yingzhou, but he can only watch Jia Daoquan and others scourge the township, but the old man has nothing to do, ashamed, ashamed! ”

"Is there no evidence at all?"

I have to say that people who can make mistakes are always a little smart. But if you can do it, it's not just something that a little clever can do.

"Who said no, the year before last, there was a fire, and the Changping position on the edge of Yingshui was burned, and the person who set the fire died, and there was no proof of death, and the perpetrator was a homeless person."

"Last year, the floods were severe, and there were simply two silos of grain problems. Afterwards, the old man found that someone had broken the embankment, and the person who broke the embankment was also dead, and there was no evidence of death, and the perpetrator was still a homeless person. ”

"In a case like this, if the old man tries it, even if he is convicted, he will be sent to the Beijing Criminal Department, Dali Temple. After the review of the Imperial Historical Observatory, it is necessary to decide whether the case needs to be reversed or the status quo ante should be maintained. But the old man ...... Humble words. If the bachelor had come forward, these troubles would have been avoided. ”

……

"The boss is a little smaller!" Li Kui expressed deep sympathy, the old men of the Yushitai, don't look at the officials, but these people are the most ferocious ministers in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty. Tear and bite at every turn, from small officials to prime ministers, relatives of the emperor and the country, there is no one they dare not impeach. Xu Rang's official position doesn't seem to be too small, but Yu Shitai really won't give him face.

Xu Rang's wrinkled old face was even more bitter, he didn't expect that he would be disgusted by Li Kui, you are just a white ding, what qualifications do you have to mock the old man?

Xu Rang almost rolled his eyes in anger and fainted. But when I think of Yushitai, forget it, these old men are even more soulless than Li Kui.

When encountering a capital punishment case, Yu Shitai just didn't tidy up Xu Rang, and he followed the normal procedure, and Xu Rang, who could also be tossed, went crazy. According to the normal procedure, Dali Temple, together with the Yushitai Society, sent back the case file of the beheading and re-interrogated him to show his attention. Then the case file was sent to the Criminal Prison Department and the Changping Division, and the back and forth was arguing. Finally, the result was out, or the original verdict was upheld, so it was reported to the emperor and decided in the autumn of the following year. In the middle, there is also a review of the Imperial Historical Observatory.

Even if everything went well, the case finally arrived in front of the emperor.

But the emperor will not collude all the criminals who are sentenced to death, but will leave one-third of the criminals for review by Yousi. Back and forth, it really can't be done in a year or two, and if there is no result, Xu Rang's term of office should be up.

Then there is a high probability that the perpetrator will be released.

This is a provocation for any official.

But there is no way, the Great Song Dynasty is such a system, the yamen contain each other, pull each other's skins, and then everyone has their term of office, and after vacating the place one after another, they forget about the criminals.

Li Kui heard Xu Rang's thoughts, and wanted to solve this scourge in Yingzhou once and for all, which could be regarded as an official and an explanation for himself. But Xu couldn't do it, so he thought of relying on Su Shi's reputation to solve Jia Daoquan.

Su Shi may have also felt the trouble and did not make it clear.

In officialdom, there is no clear expression, the meaning is two words - no drama.

Xu Rang was not the first time to be an official, so he didn't know what Su Shi was concerned about. As for Li Kui, these people are just child's play in his opinion. The reason why he is willing to talk so much to Li Kui is purely because he is panicked, and he is a civil official from the sixth grade, no matter how bad he is, he is a civil official from the sixth grade, but he has no temper in a group of people who win the fly camp and the dogs, and naturally a lot of resentment has accumulated in his heart.

I want to talk to someone, but I don't have anyone to talk to.

This was the moment he had a heartfelt conversation with Li Kui, but unfortunately, from the moment Li Kui complained that his official position was too small, the old man was angry, and he regretted that he was blind and made the dog eat the snacks he prepared.

Xu Tongju was about to leave, but Li Kui grabbed Xu Rang and said, "My lord, you don't have any evidence in your hand?" ”

"I have been condemned by natural disasters, and even if something goes wrong with Yicang, they will not get the punishment they deserve. Only the old man has evidence of their land appropriation, but this is not necessarily evidence. Xu Rang said embarrassedly, he investigated Jia Daoquan and others for three years, but found no useful evidence.

This made Xu Rang, who was bent on punishing this group of people, a little embarrassed: "However, in the past few years that the old man has been an official in Yingzhou, the land under Jia Dao's full name alone has increased by 70 hectares. ”

"Almost all of the land is obtained through mortgages and loans, which are private loans and cannot be controlled by the government. The old man can only get it from the meridian realm. In order to avoid becoming a comatose official, Xu Rang still did something. But any official can do these things. After all, it is not difficult to go to the Great Song Dynasty to check the land deed records.

Li Kui also gasped when he heard this, this money is too easy, right?

17,000 acres of land, how much does it cost?

The problem is that the warehouse supervisor who often closes positions is a small official who does not enter the stream!

Li Kui, in line with the principle of being useful and useless, begged Xu Rang: "Lord Lao can let the kid copy a copy." ”

Xu Rang said movingly: "You still want to do him?" ”

Then he shook his head and said, "It's difficult, it's difficult!" This person is cunning, I'm afraid it's not easy! ”

Li Kui almost rolled his eyes, he didn't look very old, but the agitation method was useless to him. Because he was impulsive, he rushed out without agitation, and if he didn't want to move, the result of agitation was likely to beat everyone up.

Li Kui didn't plan to continue to entangle with Xu Rang, don't look at him looking worried about the country and the people, who knows if it's true or false?

He doesn't trust a civilian official.

"Gao Yu, Gao Yu!"

"Here we are."

"Go with Lord Xu to copy a land deed record."

"Why me again?"

Gao Yu showed resistance and froze in place. But Li Kui's words made Gao Yu follow Xu Rang away: "Gao Yu, your handwriting is the most brilliant among us, and your pen power is the strongest!" But ......"

"Don't ...... Don't say it, my brother went. "Gao Yu's most proud thing in his life is calligraphy, he can follow Su Shi for more than ten years, copying Su Shi's handwriting every day, I dare not say that he is a calligrapher, right? But it's also a small success.

This time, it was enough to transcribe for more than two hours, and when he came back, he didn't shout tired, but shook his head and said: "Shocking, shocking, this little warehouse supervisor has such a family fortune, if I were him, I would be content in this life." ”

Su Guo had a headache, and the person Gao Yu envied seemed to be a suspect in the prison and stealing!

The moral level of this guy is too low.
