Chapter 720: Variety

Cleaning up a mere Ding Wuliang, he didn't even pay much attention to Lu Li, and he quickly talked about several other cases.

"There is another person, surnamed Tang Mingqian, who sued Taiyuan Donnie for tyrannizing the people's daughters."

Eleven Niang frowned: "What is the relationship between the defendant and Mrs. Zhen?" ”

"The princess is really keen, the defendant Zhen Shoulu is the son of Mrs. Zhen's cousin, the son of Mrs. Zhen, the son of Changzheng, twenty-three years old, and the background of the Ming Jing, but it is still waiting for a vacancy, and this case is also an old thing, and it has been three years." Lu Lidao.

"What is the identity of the plaintiff and can he be related to the Maoist Party?"

"Tang Qian is a farmer in Jinyang County, his family is ordinary, there are more than 100 acres of land, which is more than enough than the above, but he does not farm himself, he bought a few servants to be responsible for the crops, a family of five, but he rented a house in Jinyang City to live, this Tang Qian is a good gambler, but he is very lucky, but he wins more and loses less, on the surface it seems that he has nothing to do with the Mao Wei Party, but because he came to sue Zhen Shoulu five days ago, so many things, I don't have time to investigate carefully."

Lu Li paused, and then said: "Tang Qian has two sons and a daughter, the daughter was accepted as a concubine by Zhen Shoulu three years ago, and now she has a son, Tang Qian is suing Zhen Shoulu for accepting his daughter, according to his confession, when his daughter was fifteen years old, he had reached an agreement with his friend Wu Sanhao, and the two families became in-laws, but who knew that his daughter went out to play, and was favored by Zhen Shoulu, and proposed to be accepted as a good concubine, Tang Qian told his daughter that he had already made a marriage, but Zhen Shoulu threatened him, and went to find Wu Sanhao, coercion and temptation, Wu Sanhao had no choice but to take the initiative to withdraw from his family, and Tang Qian said that he couldn't afford to offend Taiyuan Zhen, so he had to swallow his anger. ”

"Then what did Zhen Shoulu say?" Eleven Niang asked.

"Zhen Shoulu ten days ago because of the order of his parents, went to Luoyang to deal with affairs, not in Jinyang, his father and brother heard that Tang Qian actually sued the official, furious, on behalf of the resignation, said three years ago, Zhen Shoulu did get acquainted with the Tang family when playing, and later reported to the parents, want to accept the Tang family as a good concubine, Zhen Shoulu eighteen married, but the wife could not be pregnant due to illness, so the Zhen family did not object to the children of the concubine as a concubine, the two sides went to the official palace to officially verify the concubine book, Tang Qian also received the Zhen family to pay the dowry, so the Zhen family did not admit the accusation of bullying."

Shi Niang shook her head: "But even if the Tang family accepts the dowry, it can't prove that Zhen Shoulu didn't threaten him." ”

"I interrogated that Wu Sanhao, he is not like a sinister and vicious person, and asked the neighbors of the Wu family, all said that Wu Sanhao was honest, but he was born with a good life, he was an orphan, he didn't want to save the life of a businessman by chance, and was considered a righteous son by Shangjia, and then the businessman passed away, and gave Wu Sanhao a large amount of property, Wu Sanhao bought hundreds of acres of land, and invited a few tenant farmers, life is very solid, his son has no bad deeds, and now he has married a wife, and his wife and wife are in harmony."

It sounds like this, as if Zhen Shoulu is really suspected of bullying the people's daughters.

Eleven Niang felt a little difficult to do: "Zhen Shoulu is a child of Taiyuan Zhen, once the crime of bullying women is implemented, not to mention that his career will be ruined, and it will even be difficult to escape prison...... But if Zhen Shoulu really does evil deeds, he can't cover up and connive. ”

Eleven Niang pondered for a while: "The defendant is not in Jinyang, this matter can be delayed for a while...... It's not good, if this matter is out of Mao Wei's conspiracy, he must have deliberately waited until Zhen Shoulu left Jinyang before confessing to Tang Qian, for fear that he would be unfavorable to Zhen Shoulu and cause Zhen Shoulu to abscond in fear of crime! ”

Lu Li bowed his head: "I also thought of this, so as soon as I received the complaint, I immediately told Mr. Bai to send someone to Luoyang to secretly protect Zhen Shoulu's safety, I hope it is still too late." ”

"Then I'll go to see Mrs. Zhen tomorrow, and I should investigate the facts."

Lu Li said another case.

"There is a businessman in Jinyang who sued Luo Liulang."

Eleven Niang couldn't help but rub her forehead: "Mao Wei this time, the net is really big, I just have some friendship with Luo Jiulang, so he pointed the finger at Taigu Luo, what trouble did Luo Liulang cause?" ”

"Didn't Luo Liulang get the money in Taiyuan Mansion? The merchant claimed that Luo Liulang deliberately led him into a trap and asked him to borrow money at usurious rates, but the merchant was unable to repay, so Luo Liulang beat him up and occupied two of his shops to pay off the debt. Lu Li didn't explain much about the case, and then said another case: "Coincidentally, a farmer in Taigu County actually came to Jinyang to sue Taigu Jiang's children, and also deceived him to borrow money from the government, and the farmer was unable to repay, a pair of children were forcibly enslaved by Taigu Jiang, and the family's 30 acres of farmland were also occupied by Taigu Jiang, and the farmer was not satisfied, and went to the Taigu County Government to complain, but Ji Lun said that he should have repaid the official debt, and the farmer heard that the princess advocated the lawlessness, so he came to Jinyang to complain, a complaint, and Ji Lun filed a complaint, accusing Ji Lun and the Jiang family of being in cahoots. ”

Eleven Niang immediately understood: "Luo Liulang is a false shot, Mao Wei deliberately makes us suspect that he takes the opportunity to eradicate dissidents, but in fact, he wants us to believe that Ji Lun is innocent." ”

He Ye was amazed when he was observing: "I underestimated Mao Wei, this old man is really full of tricks, and the conspiracies are interlocking, which makes people unguardable." He added: "Ordinary people can't guard against it, but this time Mao Wei'er encountered the princess and Xuanzhi, which can be regarded as hitting the iron plate." ”

Eleven Niang was thinking about catching money.

The so-called catching money, the origin can be traced back to the Wei and Jin dynasties, to the Guang Dynasty that period, in short, is that the imperial court is unwilling to pay the salary and expenses of officials with tax income, in order to set up the official money - the imperial court issued a fund to the government at all levels, but this money is not used as an expense, but the principal, the government at all levels in the local election order history that is, to catch money, distribute the official money, stipulate the interest, after a certain period of time, order the history to repay with interest, the interest part of the government for its own use, the principal is returned to the court.

This system alleviated the difficulty of insufficient funds in the imperial court to a certain extent, but due to the unfavorable supervision of the imperial court, whenever corrupt officials and corrupt officials were rampant, they would raise the interest rate on their own initiative, resulting in the inability of borrowers to pay off, and many families were ruined.

For example, the Great Zhou, because of the beginning of the founding of the country, the financial constraints, is to follow this system, to the reign of Empress Wen, once abolished, and then restored in the Ming Dynasty, the history of catching money is no longer held by officials, and delegated to the rich and wealthy families, borrowers are no longer limited to merchants, resulting in many civilians being caught money Ling Shi coaxed, borrowing this than private loans have more interest on official debts, once unable to pay off, they have to sell their property, or even sell themselves into slavery, which is also an important means for officials at all levels to collude with the rich and annex land.

The law stipulates that although the history of catching money is not even a clerk, as long as the interest can be paid on time, there is a chance to enter the office, which is also an important reason why many wealthy families strive to catch money.

For example, Taigu Luo, who is determined to transform into the world, and Luo Liulang, the grandson of the sect, is not good at literature, so it is also a way out to make Shi enter the Shi by catching money.

"In the past, we ignored this article, but now I want to add a new clause to the new deal, which is to abolish official money." Shi Niang said: "Officials at all levels use the money of the government to fill their own pockets, but it will aggravate the land annexation, causing officials to compete with the people for profit, this system is really a fallacy, which is not conducive to the people's livelihood." ”

Lu Li's head was raised: "Although it is only tried in Taiyuan Mansion, it can be regarded as a preliminary attempt." ”

"Luo Liulang didn't bully the good people, right?" Eleven Niang asked.

"The merchant borrowed money from the official party to make a profit, but he just wanted to repay the debt, but he didn't get out, he was grabbed by Luo Liulang, and he was beaten violently, and he was sent to the yamen, and the two shops were also repaid in accordance with the law, but Luo Liulang was indeed not so cautious, and he really shouldn't have beaten people, I have already taught him a lesson, and punished him with a cane, since Taigu Luo wants to get closer to the family, and he is quite strict in supervising his children, Mao Wei should not find the rest of the handles."

Eleven Niang bowed her head: "That's it, what's the matter with suing Ji Lun's farmer?" ”

"The plaintiff had no intention of borrowing, but only 30 acres of land, but he had to feed a family of seven or eight, which was already stretched, and many of the neighbors fled, implicating the plaintiff and having to bear taxes, seeing that he was going to be unable to make ends meet, the Jiang family took the initiative to find him and persuaded him to buy another 40 acres of mountain land to grow tea, and the Jiang family could buy it. However, the contract signed with the Jiang family was black and white, the plaintiff was illiterate, did not know the content of the contract, and was fooled by the Jiang family, but Ji Lun was also very 'innocent' in this matter, claiming that he did not know that the Jiang family had deceived him, but only followed the law to deal with it, Ji Lun had a very good official reputation in Taigu, and many people took the initiative to intercede for him, and what made people think deeply was that the plaintiff was slightly interrogated by me, and even admitted that he was instigated by others, and intended to implicate Ji Lun, only instigated him but did not know where to go, but left him 30,000 yuan. ”

Eleven Niang sneered: "Mao Wei thought that Taigu Luo had surrendered to us, and making this incident would kill two birds with one stone, which would not only make us trust Ji Lun, but also suppress Taigu Jiang, so that he could easily entrap the family." ”

"Taigu Jiang is indeed guilty and should be suppressed." Lu Li said.

"Of course, but for Guillon...... Let's just count it. ”

Now He Ye finally found an opportunity: "Yes, the princess and I are basically sure that Ji Lun and Monk Mingkong are colluding in private, and Monk Mingkong is indeed a tenant, but I can't figure out how the thief monk will use Ji Lun for a while, so it's better to put a long line to catch a big fish." ”
