Lijiazhai is by no means an ordinary small tribe, it is one of the major tribes in Xiangxi, Lijiazhai is in charge of all the people of the entire Baojing Mansion, it can be said that the power and the person arrested by Wu Yunlin is a close confidant of the big Tusi of Lijiazhai, whose name is Li Da. In the seventh year of Yongzheng (1729), Baojing implemented the "reform of the land and return to the stream" (abolished the hereditary Tusi and implemented the system of appointing the flow of officials), abolished the Tusi system, in essence, the management of ethnic minority areas still relied on the old Tusi, but the title became the Tuguan, Tumu, etc., from the "Guizhou Tongzhi • Tusi Zhi" can be seen as the clue "Where there is a levy, the leader will be signed, and the order of the local official can be done, and the order of the flow official is not as good as the summons of the head of the local official."

Just now, Li Gang, the big toast of Lijiazhai, got the news, saying that his confidant Li Da was arrested and sent to the yamen, which made him very annoyed and embarrassed.

"Hmph, you dare to arrest my Li Jiazhai people" Li Gang, the big toast official of Li Jiazhai, slapped the table angrily, and suddenly the good mahogany table was slapped and scattered.

"Big Toast, what should we do about this," Elder Li Hu said with a calm face.

"What to do, hmph, if you arrest our people in Lijiazhai, you naturally have to hand them over to me obediently, didn't you say that Li Da's waste was caught by a hairy child? Since this hairy kid is not sensible, let's teach him the rules," Li Gang said with a smile.

"Da Tusi, I heard that the person who arrested Li Da is a man, what should I do about this" Li Hu hesitated and asked.

"Hmph, what should I do, the people who dare to arrest me, let's go to the yamen now to ask for someone, I'll see who dares not to let go"

Tang Yafu, the magistrate of Changde County's Yamen, sat in the public court and openly tried the manslaughter case of Li Dadang Street in Lijiazhai.

Tang Yafu was shocked, and said in a deep voice, "Why don't the people in the audience kneel when they see this official?"

"I'm Li Da kneeling in the sky, kneeling on the ground, kneeling in the middle of our big toast and parents, haha" After a burst of laughter.

When the people who were watching the trouble outside heard Li Da say this, they immediately started to talk about it.

The "mighty" yacha immediately sounded the water and fire sticks to show deterrence.

Although Tang Yafu was very angry in his heart, but this was above the court, as the head of a county, it was impossible for him to do anything to roar at the court, suppressed his anger, and gritted his teeth and looked at Master Guo who was standing aside.

Master Guo immediately understood, stepped forward and kicked Li Da to his knees, so that he could not get up.

"My lord, you have to be the master of the people's wife, woo the people's husband's husband went early, the people's woman only has that son, and the people's husband is a single line, my lord," a Han woman next to Li Da cried.

"This aunt, don't cry, this official will make the decision for you" Tang Yafu said comfortingly, then looked at Li Da again and said, "Li Da, you killed people on the street, you can confess" Tang Yafu patted the wood again and said.

"What's wrong with killing people, I'm from Lijiazhai, don't you know that we people don't have to obey your laws? Why did you arrest me, even if you kill someone, it will be dealt with in the village, and it is not your turn to take care of it at all, don't be embarrassed" Li Da said while struggling to get up.

"My lord, you must cure this man's sin, he robbed the old woman's daughter last year and went back to play with it," at this time, a ragged old lady at the entrance of the yamen said loudly.

"Yes, my lord, this man has done all the bad things"

"Cure him, punish him," shouted the people watching the trial.

"Cure my crimes, hmph, just because he is a small magistrate and still wants to cure me Li Da's crimes, don't say it's him, even the emperor Lao Tzu who sits on the golden luan doesn't dare to punish me, hum" Li Da continued to scold and said.

"Hmph, I advise you to release it to me quickly, and compensate me another 10,000 taels of silver, we Li Jiazhai can not blame the past, otherwise my Li Jiazhai will not be finished with you"

Tang Yafu clenched his fists fiercely, smiled calmly on his face, and then said, "Li Da insulted the imperial court official, and he was punished with a rod for thirty according to the law, and he was dragged down by the official and beaten heavily."

"You dare to fight"

"Let's go, what about you"

The officials of the yamen couldn't control the foul language in Li Da's mouth for a long time, so before Li Da could finish speaking, the officials had already dragged Li Da outside to carry out the execution.

Li Da's miserable howl continued to be heard outside, and after a pillar of incense time, Li Dacai, who was beaten and bloody, was dragged back by the officials, and at this moment Li Da no longer had the strength to say some unbearable words, but he kept lying on the ground, his body constantly twisting and twitching.

At this moment, a messenger trotted into the public hall, and said with a panicked face, "My lord, it's not good, it's not good, it's a big deal."

Tang Yafu frowned, and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter, it's all about making a fuss in the court?"

"Great, my lord, yes, it's the big Tusi of Li Jiazhai who came to our yamen to ask for someone, saying that if you don't hand over Li Dalai immediately, you will, you will wipe out our yamen," the officer said in a panic.

"Haha, do you hear me, I advise you to release me quickly, otherwise there will be no good fruit for you to eat, or maybe your whole family will be unlucky with you" Hearing that the big toast was coming, Li Da immediately perked up, raised his head again, looked at Tang Yafu and said.

The surrounding people trembled with fright when they heard this, and began to leave the yamen one after another.

"Oh, what should this official do, since the big toast of Li Jiazhai is here, and he is a guest at the door, then please ask the big toast to sit in the yamen, the official still has a case to try here, you go and tell the big toast, the official will be there later" Tang Yafu looked at Wu Yunlin and the others and said, in fact, he secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his hands, he already knew how to use the master's procrastination, and it was okay to drag Wu Yunlin and the others to leave Changde, and this Li Jiazhai was too arrogant.

These people are too arrogant, and they even dare to go to the yamen to make trouble, it seems that it is really the previous officials who are too weak, and they are used to thinking that the court should follow them in everything, so they should be treated well, so that these people know what is called the royal law.

After the messenger received the order and went out in fear, Tang Yafu looked at Li Da who was kneeling, and said with a sneer, "Li Da, this official will ask you again, you can be guilty of killing people in the street."

Before Li Da could speak, an abrupt voice came from outside, "Yo, my parents, what a big breath, even my Li Gang's people dare to arrest me."

Tang Yafu looked up at the sturdy man who walked in, and guessed that this person must be the Lijiazhai big toast that the errand just said just now, it seems that this Li Da is valued by this Li Jiazhai big toast Li Gang, but so what, he has no way to retreat today, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Wu Yunlin looked at the person who came in, smiled and said, "Presumably this is the big toast of Lijiazhai."

"Exactly, I don't know why this person who lifted the man arrested me at will," Li Gang said in a rough voice with a calm face.

Before Tang Yafu could speak, Li Da, who had been beaten, crawled to Li Gang's feet, and then hugged Li Gang's thighs and said with a crying voice, "Da Tusi, you have to be the master for me, they tortured me just now, you see that my shares have been smashed by them."

Li Gang frowned, turned his head sideways and asked with a calm face, "Lord Zhixian, how do you explain this matter, do you know that the laws of Daxing stipulate that the local people are self-governing?"

The corners of Wu Yunlin's mouth hooked up a vague smile, the Daqing Law does stipulate that the autonomy of the Tumin is true, but there is another sentence at the back, the Tumin and Hanmin are a family, and they must not violate each other, and those who violate each other, whether they are Tumin or Hanmin, are equivalent to violating the Daqing Law, and they are all punished according to the Daqing Law, but for many years, the local officials have often calmed down the people, which has caused everyone to seem to have forgotten the last sentence of the law, which has also caused the Tumin to become more and more arrogant, and finally it has reached the point where they do not take the Daqing Law in their eyes.

Tang Yafu looked at Li Da Tusi and said, "This official naturally knows, but Da Tusi is afraid that he has forgotten, although the Daqing Law stipulates that the Tumin have the right to self-government, but there is another sentence in the back that the Tumin and the Han people are one family, and they must not violate each other, and those who violate each other, whether they are Tumin or Hanmin, are equivalent to violating the Daqing Law, and they will be punished according to the Daqing Law, and this Li Dadang Street murdered me a Han Min boy, and this matter also made Wu Juzi and Mei Juzi happen to be in a hurry, how can you say that the official can not care, In addition, this Li Da insulted the court officials in the court, do you say you should beat or not"

"How can there be such a provision in the Daqing law, you bastard, don't talk nonsense in front of me, you quickly release my people, otherwise I will definitely send troops to level your county government" Li Gang said impatiently.

"Da Tusi, you have to make the decision for me, if you don't clean up this kid, what is the reputation of our Li Jiazhai, when the time comes, our Li Jiazhai will not be laughed to death by other tribes, it doesn't matter if I am beaten, Da Tusi, your reputation is important, woo" Li Da added fire from time to time.

According to Tang Yafu's understanding, most of the major tribes now live by hunting, and most of the people live in poverty, and the reason why the imperial court has been helpless against these natives is because the natives mostly live in the deep mountains and old forests, and it is easy to defend and difficult to achieve, which leads to the imperial court in the face of repeated defeats of the natives, and if they really want to fight, in fact, these natives can't afford to consume those money and food, and these natives are usually invincible, relying on the mountains and jungles to obstruct them, if they fight head-on, they are not the opponents of the Daqing officers and soldiers at all. Therefore, Tang Yafu knew that Li Gang did not dare to send troops at will, let alone send troops for a person who was not important at all.

"I advise you to release people immediately, don't talk about those useless people" Li Gang said impatiently, if other officials faced him in the past, I am afraid that they would have been so frightened that they couldn't speak clearly, this little magistrate just didn't clean up, hum.

"I'm sorry, Da Tusi, this official can't meet your requirements, if this Li Da killed your people from Li Jiazhai yesterday, then the official can't control it, but he is moving me Hanmin, then I'm afraid this person can't be released" Tang Yafu said in a calm tone.

Li Gang glanced at Tang Yafu hatefully and said, "Okay, surnamed Tang, you have a kind, you wait, Lao Tzu will go back to transfer troops, and then I will come to level your yamen, let's go."

Tang Yafu looked at Li Gang and the others who disappeared at the door, and then looked at Li Da who was half lying on the ground, and his eyes were fierce, if he didn't punish this Li Da heavily, then the court and him, the magistrate, would have no face.

Wu Yunlin slapped the shocked wood and shouted, "Li Da, the official will ask you again, you can be guilty"

"Yo he, you're still pretending to be here, didn't you hear our big toast say that he wanted to bring someone to level your yamen, what's the matter, the person is the uncle, I kicked it to death, who told that kid to steal the uncle's money bag, and he deserved to die" Li Da said with a spit foam.

Tang Yafu narrowed his eyes and said, "Then you are guilty of your guilt."

"How about it, what can you do if you confess your sins, what can you bear with me, bah"

"Li Da killed the Han people first, insulted the court officials later, and destroyed the harmony between the Han people and the local people for one reason, so in order to set an example, Li Da was sentenced to the punishment of fish scale scraping, and the western vegetable market was executed in the afternoon of the third month" Wu Yunlin looked at Li Da who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a blank face.

"Thank you, sir, for being the master of the people's wife, thank you, sir," said the mother of the teenager who had been kicked to death by Li Da when she heard the verdict.

Tang Yafu "snapped" and said "quit"

When Li Da heard the words "fish scale scraping", a little fear flashed in his eyes, but in the end, the Han officials have left a deep impression on the local people over the years, that is, the Han officials are afraid of their local people, so Li Da still feels that Tang Yafu is bluffing at the moment, and he doesn't dare to do anything to him at all, and in the end he has to let him go obediently, and he has to compensate him with some silver.
