Working under Cai Jing, this made Wu Zhi feel quite helpless. He knows what kind of person Cai Jing is, flattery, jealousy, and retribution are the labels on Cai Jing.

It stands to reason that Wu Zhi, as the third person in Kaifeng Mansion, at the beginning of his tenure, Kaifeng Mansion at least had to hold a welcoming ceremony and a wedding banquet, but Cai Jing did not speak for a long time, and the people below did not dare to act rashly. Everyone speculated about the relationship between Wu Zhi and Cai Jing, in addition to admiring Wu Zhi's youth, everyone thought that this judge was estimated to have offended Lord Fu Yin, and Lord Fu Yin didn't like it, so they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh, and some even sympathized with Wu Zhi, and were very optimistic about his future.

Wu Zhi was also a little puzzled in his heart, he carefully recalled what he had done after coming to the capital to take the exam, as if he had not had anything to do with Cai Jing and Cai Bian brothers so far, nor had he clashed with them head-on, let alone offended them. Why? Is it just jealousy?

The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. Wu Zhi couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. After taking office, Wu Zhi began to devote himself to his work.

The subordinate officials of Wu Zhi have the Silu Division, that is, the government court, and its chief is the Silu Joiner Liang Bin, who is in charge of the lawsuit of the Toda House, that is, presiding over civil litigation and leading the administrative affairs of Liucao; There are also six Caos under the courtyard, Wu Zhi is in charge of Bing Cao and Fa Cao, Bing Cao joins the army for Feng Buping, is in charge of military attache examinations, armor and staffs, etc., and Fa Cao joins the army for Chu Jing'an, in charge of the verification of laws, etc.; These people are all civil officials, and none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. There are also many Kongme, foremen, etc., under Bing Cao and Fa Cao, and there are many people.

Under Wu Zhi's subordinates, there are also the left and right military patrol courts, each court has a military patrol envoy and a military patrol judge, who are in charge of the battle and push the sheath in the capital, that is, responsible for handling the public security cases and criminal cases that occur in the capital. There are also left and right chamber officials who are in charge of disputes in the capital, handling minor criminal cases and civil and commercial lawsuits, etc., and their chiefs are Deng Lu, the official of the left chamber, and Chi Mingyu, the official of the right chamber. These people are all military attachés, and this trial of cases inevitably involves arresting and guarding prisoners, plus heavy and dangerous work such as executions, so it is necessary to equip these military attaches and lead their subordinates to complete these dirty work.

From this point of view, the staffing of Kaifeng Mansion is very in place and super luxurious, and there are special personnel responsible for handling specific affairs at each level, and it stands to reason that it should not be Wu Zhi's turn to meddle in specific affairs in Kaifeng Mansion, he only needs to control the overall situation and sign the decision.

But who knows, when Wu Zhi came to work in the Left Hall of Justice in Kaifeng Mansion on the fifth day, he found that he had a mountain of files on his desk, and he couldn't help but be annoyed. When I asked Confucius, I learned that these files were all unsolved old cases that had accumulated over the years, and they were specially ordered by Cai Jing, the lord of Kaifeng Prefecture, to ask Wu Zhi to complete these old cases as soon as possible in a short period of time, and to cancel the cases.

Hearing that it was Cai Jing's special assignment, Wu Zhi suddenly realized that he should have been targeted by Cai Jing, and that he was deliberately looking for fault with himself!

Since it is an old case that has been deposited for many years, and several previous judges have not been able to solve it, but now they are asking themselves to deal with it in a short period of time, isn't this deliberately making things difficult for themselves?

Wu Zhi was on fire in his heart, but he was helpless, he was a member of the court from the second grade, holding heavy power, and he was a small Beijing official from the sixth grade, not at all in the same order of magnitude, at present, except for obedience, Wu Zhi had no other way.

In the midst of indignation, Wu Zhi could only hold back his heart, pick up the files on the desk, and review them one by one. After checking for a long time, Wu Zhi finally read all the files on the desk, and had a little score in his heart, the reason why these old cases are unsolved is mainly divided into four situations:

The first is a case of criminal injury between ordinary people, where the injured party not only demands that the murderer be brought to justice, but also seeks civil compensation, because the murderer is either dead or has escaped from justice, his family refuses to admit or pay compensation, or the murderer has been sentenced to justice, but his family is poor and cannot compensate, resulting in a situation where the injured party keeps appealing to the government but does not make a decision.

Second, there are cases of armed fights between ordinary people over land and water sources and other factors, resulting in injuries on both sides, and thus suing the government but refusing to obey mediation, resulting in constant disputes and endless armed fights.

The third is unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, resulting in continuous appeals by the families of the parties.

Fourth, in cases where the people sue the officials or the poor sue the rich, because the officials protect each other or the rich give money, the murderer is still at large, and the victims and their families have no choice but to continue to appeal and complain.

Wu Zhi can't help Cai Jing, but he can put pressure on his subordinates. After re-sorting out the backlog of cases, his thinking gradually became clearer, and he decided to take several steps, first investigating and collecting evidence, and then making plans.

Just do it, Wu Zhi took Suo Chao, Li Zhenguo and Si Fangguo, three teenagers, and led two officials who were familiar with the geography around Kaifeng Mansion, led the way, sat in a carriage, and began the investigation journey.

The reason why he brought Suo Chao, Li Zhenguo and Si Fangguo was that Wu Zhi wanted to take the opportunity of investigating and collecting evidence, and at the same time train them and improve their abilities.

Suo Chao's martial arts have become more and more exquisite, and the young man who is nearly seventeen years old has grown into an adult, with a height of nearly one meter eight, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his weapons are extraordinary. After Li Zhenguo and Si Fangguo worshiped Wuzhi as their teacher, after the martial arts training in the past few months, they are good at martial arts, and their temperament has also changed greatly.

The three young men have been bored at home for a long time, and now they are all extremely excited to go out with the master for the first time, like a fish in the sea and an eagle hitting the sky, and they are eager to try.

The official Guo Si and Niu Er were quite surprised when they saw that the judge was following with three and a half young men, and the three young men all called Wu Zhi Master, they were quite surprised, it was the first time they had seen such a young master.

According to the address on the file, Wu Zhi, Suo Chao, Li Zhenguo, and Si Fangguo, under the guidance of the officials Guo Si and Niu Er, carefully investigated and collected evidence one case after another, without hurry, and proceeded step by step. Although Cai Jing urged him to deal with it as soon as possible, he did not set a time limit, so why should Wu Zhi be in a hurry, although he took his time, he could drag it as much as he could, he had to come at his own pace, and he couldn't be led by Cai Jing.

In this way, leaving early and returning late, Wu Zhi spent a month, and finally got all the reasons and ins and outs of the old case files clear, and the results of the investigation and evidence collection made him have a verdict in his heart, and the measures to be taken gradually took shape in his mind, and he decided to go straight and solve these backlog cases in a simple and crude way.

For this reason, Wu Zhi instructed Erhu to find Meng Da on the opportunity to transport back low-alcohol liquor to Weishi County, and asked him to find twenty bold and careful employees from Caoyun Company, follow Erhu back to the capital, and please send him from Wu Zhi.

As a result, when Erhu came back from Weishi County, he brought back not only twenty employees, but also Li Hongyi, Zhang Xing and Hu Kui, Wu Zhi was also very happy to see them, and specially invited everyone to a banquet at Li Qing's house in Baokangmen, so that everyone was satisfied. After the banquet, Wu Zhi placed Li Hongyi, Zhang Xing, Hu Kui and others nearby.

In order to make things easier, Wu Zhi deliberately rented another large mansion near Baokangmen as a secret operation base, and Li Hongyi, Zhang Xing, Hu Kui and others were placed in this rented mansion, which was both concealed and convenient for acting.

When everything was ready, Wu Sik immediately set about implementing his plan of action.

For the wealthy officials and gentry who died or escaped after hurting others and refused to compensate, Wu Zhi directly asked Li Hongyi, Zhang Xing, Hu Kui and others from Weishi County to lead their subordinates, holding sticks, pretending to be wicked gangsters, and going door to door to threaten and help the victims collect the debts.

Although Li Hongyi, Zhang Xing, Hu Kui and others have been in good hands for a few months, after all, they have been mixed in the rivers and lakes for many years, and the banditry has penetrated into their bones, so there is no need to deliberately imitate it. These wealthy officials and gentry have never seen such a terrifying battle, and they can only obediently take out enough real money and silver to spend money to buy peace.

After getting the money, Wu Zhi, in the capacity of the official government of the judge of Kaifeng Prefecture, took Suo Chao, Li Zhenguo, Si Fangguo, Li Hongyi, Zhang Xing, Hu Kui and others to send the full amount of compensation to the victims and their families one by one, and at the same time asked them to sign and draw their fingerprints on the case file at the scene, and the case was closed!

For the families of criminals who have already been punished and their families are really unable to afford compensation, Wu Zhi took out enough money out of his own pocket to let the family of the criminal follow Wu Zhi and others to the victim's home in person, and after seeking the victim's forgiveness, Wu Zhi also asked the victim and his family to sign and draw their fingerprints on the case file at the scene, and the case was closed!

As for the case of the neighborhood fight, it was even simpler, he directly pulled Suo Chao, Li Hongyi and others to pretend to be officials of the government, and first went to Sanlizhuang Village outside Bianliang City, where a dispute over water caused a fight, and through Lizheng, the villagers of the upper and lower villages of Sanlizhuang where the fight took place were gathered together to come to the scene to resolve the dispute.

These villagers are really fierce, as soon as they meet, they pinch up again, fight, Wu Zhi gave an order, Suo Chao, Li Zhenguo, Si Fangguo three young men and Li Hongyi, Zhang Xing, Hu Kui led by the Caoyun Company everyone rushed up, three times five divided by two to subdue the villagers on both sides who took the lead in making trouble. When the villagers saw that these "servants" were so brave, they were immediately suppressed, and they did not dare to act rashly, so they could only look at each other angrily and confront each other silently.

Seeing that these villagers had finally come to their senses, Wu Zhi walked to the middle of the crowd, looked around, and announced the solution of the government to them loudly.

As soon as this plan was announced, the scene was so quiet that the sound of falling leaves could be heard, and the villagers in the upper and lower villages were stunned, looking at each other, unable to believe their ears.

"My lord! Can this really be the case? Can you represent the government? A daring villager couldn't help but ask.

"I am the judge of Kaifeng Mansion, of course I can represent the government! Please rest assured, I am here to solve the problem on behalf of the government today! Wu Zhi smiled slightly and said loudly. He knew what these villagers were worried about, it was nothing more than that they were afraid that the government would talk empty words and not admit it when they turned around.

Wu Zhi's solution was simple: he paid for it, and the villagers contributed to re-dig a large aqueduct, from which the water was diverted to the upper and lower villages for irrigation and irrigation. In this way, the dispute over water and watering the fields will no longer exist, and everyone will no longer have to fight for it in the future!

Such a good thing could fall on everyone's heads, which made the villagers of the upper and lower villages very surprised and excited, and their eyes became friendly when they looked at Wu Zhi.

After discussion, the villagers of the two villages decided to build a new aqueduct on the site of the small canal and excavate it according to the standards set by Wu Zhi.

On the same day, the villagers of the two villages started to excavate. Wu Zhi also hurriedly assigned Suo Chao and Li Hongyi to take the money he gave, led by Li Zheng Hu Weinan, to buy stones, glutinous rice mortar and other building materials.

Most of the villagers in Sanlizhuang Village are surnamed Hu, and they all have such a layer of kinship, and the fight for water on weekdays should not have been, but now there is no need to fight, they suddenly became united again, digging a ditch and full of energy. Wu Zhi saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart. At the same time, Wu Zhi also announced that everyone who excavated the aqueduct could receive 300 yuan per day, which made everyone even more motivated, and men, women and children joined the ranks of digging ditches, and all the ditches that were nearly 1,000 meters long and 1 meter wide and nearly 1 meter deep were dug in two days.

The masons were found to lay stones on the bottom of the ditch and plastered with glutinous rice mortar, and everyone worked together, and within seven days, a brand-new wide aqueduct was repaired, and Wu Zhi also cashed his wages in time, which made the villagers of Sanlizhuang Village happy.

Three days later, after the glutinous rice mortar had dried, the villagers wept with joy and thanked Wu Zhi and others again and again when they watched the flowing water flow into the fields through the aqueduct.

While the villagers were happy, Wu Zhi took out the long-standing backlog of case files, asked the villagers who led the scene to sign and draw their fingerprints on them, and the case was closed.

After settling the dispute in Sanlizhuang Village, Wu Zhi did the same, and resolved several other similar disputes, all of which were also closed one by one.

As for unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, Wu Zhi ordered his officials to retry them based on the evidence obtained from his investigation and collection. Although Wu Zhi was not popular with Cai Jing and was made difficult by Cai Jing, these officials and officials under his command did not have the courage to challenge the authority of Wu Zhi as a judge, and no one dared to make an obstacle from it, so they could only start the case again.

Under the intervention and supervision of Wu Zhi, the third-in-command of Kaifeng Prefecture, within a month, the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture turned over the unjust, false and wrongly decided cases that had been backlogged for many years like divine help.

As for the case of criminals going unpunished due to the protection of officials and officials, Wu Zhi simply attached complete evidence, together with the file, and directly submitted it to the Criminal Department for trial. Since Kaifeng Mansion can't do anything, then let the Criminal Department solve it! Don't officials like to use the big to suppress the small, and the officials to suppress the people? Then Wu Zhi will return the favor to the other in his way, and let the larger official office of the Criminal Department suppress them, which is called suppressing the small with the big!

The Criminal Department received the file sent by Wu Zhi, but it was difficult, and then it was afraid that it would offend people with hot hands, and if it didn't take it, it was afraid that Wu Zhi, a boy who was not stingy, would directly submit the file to the official family and cause trouble. Especially Xing Shu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, had even more headaches.

In desperation, Xing Shu could only quietly find Cai Jing and plot how to act. Rao is Cai Jing is treacherous and slippery, and he was obviously dumbfounded by Wu Zhi's hand.

In order to calm the situation, the criminal department had no choice but to secretly put pressure on the criminal's family, temporarily imprisoned the murderer, and gave the victim sufficient compensation, and only secretly released the murderer after the victim and his family withdrew the case and closed the case.

In this way, the old Kaifeng Mansion cases that had been backlogged for many years were closed and cancelled in the hands of Wu Zhi in less than three months. This made Cai Jing lose the excuse to continue to make things difficult for Wu Zhi, and he was depressed; It also made the officials and officials of Kaifeng Mansion who were watching coldly and watching jokes at the beginning of the heart, and they were full of awe of the young judge of the left hall.
