Chapter 224: The Use of the Law Not to Blame the Public
Su Zhen is not Chen Kan, there are no big names behind him, and he himself is just a seven-grade county order, and he gets a cheap salary for a month.
More than 1,000 yuan is likely to be a huge amount of money that he will not earn in his life.
Besides, the county government is not his county government after all, so Chen Kan chooses to respect his opinion.
After getting Chen Kan's approval, Su Zhen temporarily left the court with a group of county officials.
Such a scene is absolutely rare in the Central Plains, how can there be a county order that leaves the court twice in a row in the middle of the trial?
Especially after the grandfather ascended the throne, a series of strict rules were formulated for officials, if it was placed in the Central Plains, Su Zhen would have been masturbated several times.
But in Yunnan, everyone has a look of surprise in their eyes.
It's no wonder that the old Zhu family's feudal kings can't fight Mu Sheng, just by his tolerance for these officials, these officials have no possibility of betraying him.
Su Zhen's small gesture made Chen Kan's heart gradually sink, and his evaluation of Mu Sheng was a few points higher.
It is also difficult for Chen Kan to tell whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
History has proved that the Mu family is loyal to the imperial court, and when the country is in trouble, the Mu family does not hesitate to choose death.
But from the perspective of the imperial court, is it really a good thing that there is such a prince in the land of the Ming Dynasty that the imperial court cannot control?
Shaking his head, Chen Kan still decided to go back and report what he saw today truthfully, as for the rest, he couldn't care about it.
Su Zhen went for half an hour.
When he reappeared, he already had a look of determination on his face.
Chen Kan asked lightly: "Have you discussed?" ”
The Aza siblings and Ma Bao'er looked at Su Zhen at the same time, with a faint expectation and worry in their eyes.
Su Zhen nodded with some regret and said: "I personally hope to build this canal, after all, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, there is more canal, and the sea will become a land of fish and rice, but ...... The materials in the treasury of the county government are not used by the officials. ”
Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed in the eyes of Manna and Marbelle, and then they were relieved.
They can understand Su Zhen's difficulties, but they are inevitably a little disappointed, it seems that this canal will continue to fight.
Chen Kan didn't say anything, but silently made an unbearable comment to Su Zhen in his heart.
Is it possible that more than 1,000 dollars will stump a county order?
At the end of the day, it's just a lack of accountability.
Shaking his head, Chen Kan said lightly: "Then let's continue to try the case!" ”
"But ......"
Su Zhen suddenly raised his head.
"But what?"
Hearing this, the two toast leaders suddenly perked up, looked at Su Zhen, and once again gave birth to a little hope in their hearts.
If the imperial court is willing to give them a back, of course they are willing to repair this canal, after all, the life of the toast is also the life.
If we can increase grain production, who wants to fight to the death for a canal?
Chen Kan looked at Su Zhen with interest, wanting to see what shocking decision he could make.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Su Zhen held his breath and said, "However, this official is willing to pay out of his own pocket in the name of a private person to help the people of Tonghai County build this canal." ”
"Out of pocket?"
The two toast leaders were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes flashed with disbelief.
"Yes, what does this official say is also the parent official of this Tonghai County, since he is a parent official, he should naturally do what a parent official should do."
"The treasury of the county government belongs to the imperial court, and the official has no right to use it, but the official really can't bear to let me miss this opportunity for development in Tonghai County, so the official pays out of his own pocket, so that he can get the best of both worlds!"
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
After listening to Su Zhen's righteous and awe-inspiring words, Chen Kan couldn't help but applaud.
Su Zhen turned around, and after seeing the smiling expression on Chen Kan's face, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Chen Kan didn't break his careful thoughts, but said lightly: "Don't do anything unsightly." ”
In the face of Chen Kan's almost threatening and somewhat admonished words, how could Su Zhen not understand the meaning, and immediately said: "Don't worry, my lord, I have been an official for thirteen years, and I am worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, and even more worthy of governing the people." ”
"That's it!"
Chen Kan is reluctant to get to the bottom of it, a county order, placed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, is the existence of a hundred miles of marquis, and it is not difficult to really make more than 1,000 yuan with heart.
Chen Kan just reminded him that as long as he didn't harm the country and the people, Chen Kan was willing to believe that he was a good official.
When Mana Aza and Ma Bao'er heard this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on their faces, and they bowed to Su Zhen and said, "Thank you, Lord County, if this matter can be done, in the future, my Aza clan is willing to take the lead of the adult." ”
"I am willing to obey the dispatch of my lords!"
Hearing the straightforward allegiance of the two, a trace of embarrassment flashed on Su Zhen's face.
This Lord Qincha is still beside you, you don't say that you are loyal to Your Majesty, but you say that you are loyal to me for a county order, doesn't this mean my old life?
However, from the afterglow, he found that Chen Kan had no expression, and he immediately relieved himself.
Helped the two of them up and said: "This official is the official of the Ming Dynasty, and the two are the sons of the Ming Dynasty. ”
"That can't be!"
The two people who were originally fighting for life and death were loyal to one person at the same time at this time, and then they had to work together to make their hometown better.
There is something unnatural about each other.
Su Zhen looked at the two of them and sighed lightly in his heart, he also knew that it was already very good to have the current situation.
On the ground of Tonghai, the most powerful toasts are these two branches, as long as they don't do things, Tonghai is stable.
As for what happens to the aqueduct, it is also a matter of the future, and this case is solved perfectly, so it is good that Lord Qincha does not see the joke.
And the seven corpses in the public court, although he and Tusi didn't treat them as people, they were the people of the Ming Dynasty after all.
If you die, you can't die in vain, otherwise he won't be able to explain when the Criminal Department asks him in the future.
Therefore, he turned his head to look at Chen Kan and asked, "My lord, what is going ...... next?"
Chen Kan waved his hand: "You are the county order, you can judge how you want." ”
With Chen Kan's endorsement, Su Zhenxin calmed down for a while, and then said to Mana and Ma Bao'er: "Two, you have also seen, this dead person, there must always be a responsible person, although the law does not blame the public, but the dead are innocent after all, the two ......"
Hearing Su Zhen's words, the corners of Chen Kan's mouth pulled out an incomprehensible smile, it turned out that this was what the law did not blame.
However, there is nothing wrong with Su Zhen's approach, and the folk clans of the Ming Dynasty have become intimate, fighting for land, water, and even wharves.
And the government generally comes forward to be a peacemaker after the major clans have decided the winners and losers.
As for the process, it is also very simple, just like now, the government set up a stage and invited the speakers from both sides to attend the meeting, first of all, the two clans paid a certain price to calm the anger of the deceased's family, so that they would not run to the central government to complain, and save from implicating the local government.
The second is to find someone to scapego, and to pay the family of the person who is being substituted handsomely.
In this way, the matter is over.
The process is very simple, but it is very practical, and the central government will not investigate it deeply, anyway, someone will confess.
Unless there are officials who are ready to deal with these things at the time, the vast majority of them can fool the past.
After listening to Su Zhen's words, Maggie and Ma Baoer understood, and each called out two old men who were already very old from the crowd.
Apparently, they have already prepared everything.
Chen Kan just watched this scene silently.
Although he shouted at any time that the Ming Law would give everyone justice, as an official, how could he not know that there was no absolute justice in this world.
Su Zhen can handle it like this, which is already very good.
Three thousand miles away!
This is the crime that Su Zhen set for the two old men, and the two old men also pleaded guilty very simply, they appeared in the county office today, and they came here for this matter.
It is beyond their expectations that they will now be able to leave a canal for future generations.
Everyone's happy!
In addition to the families of the deceased, as well as the descendants of the two old men who were used to convict......
After the final verdict was made, Su Zhen sent away the two toasts.
Chen Kan went out with him to see him off, silently watching the woman ride the tiger.
She suddenly looked back at Chen Kan and said softly: "I take back what I just said, you are a good official, thank you!" ”
"You're welcome!"
Chen Kan touched his nose and saw the two originally powerful Tusi forces go together, and he was quite embarrassed in his heart.
Sure enough, the core thing in the world is still interests, for the sake of interests, enemies can put aside their hatred and work together, for the sake of interests, a seven-grade county order also dares to carry a huge debt of more than 1,000 yuan.
"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit!"
With a sigh of emotion, Chen Kan walked back to the county office with his hands in his hands.
The three imperial historians were silent in the public court, and when they saw that the matter was settled, they hurriedly came up and handed a written letter to Chen Kan.
Then he said in a low voice: "My lord, take a look, do you need to polish your pen for the things here today?" ”
Chen Kan glanced at it roughly, except for concealing Su Zhen's specific case-handling process, the others could be regarded as truthful reports, so he responded: "That's it, this time we are here to act as His Majesty's eyes, as for the rest, don't be smart!" ”
Hearing this, Chen Anxin was taken aback, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials know." ”
"Hmm!"
Chen Kan nodded with satisfaction, this time the three imperial histories who came to Yunnan with him were quite smart, he was thinking, after returning to Beijing, should he ask Zhu Di to ask them to come over to Xu Yuan.
The main reason is that he offended Chen Ying when he left Beijing, and they were also with him, so it is difficult to guarantee that Chen Ying will not hate them because of this.
After having a light meal at the county government and refusing Su Zhen's retention, Chen Kan once again set foot on the road to Jianshui.
This time, there was no little girl riding a tiger who ran out to block the way.
A trip to Tonghai County made Chen Kan see a lot of things.
Facts have proved that there is no problem in strategy with the strategy of changing the land and returning it to the river, which has been tested by history, but this is a long road, and it may not be able to achieve any great results in 10 or 20 years.
Mu Sheng's recital to Jingshi is obviously a bit exaggerated.
But thinking about Chen Kan, he is relieved, after all, Mu Sheng is not Mu Ying and Mu Chun, although the Mu family is deeply rooted in Yunnan, but he Mu Sheng is only a meritorious second generation in the end, and he needs credit to consolidate his position.
Chen Kan easily guessed Mu Sheng's thoughts, it was nothing more than that he felt that the emperor of Yunnan was far away, and it was impossible for Zhu Di to really come to Yunnan to see, at most he would send a messenger.
And with the prestige of the Mu family in Yunnan, it is not difficult for a Qin to report the scene that can only be seen in Yunnan after three or five years to the imperial court, as for three or five years later, his position in Yunnan will be completely consolidated, and he is not afraid that Zhu Di will come to find fault again.
Human!
A good calculation.
Even Chen Kan has to admit his affection.
Because the greater the credit he reciprocates, the more benefits Chen Kan, the initiator, will get.
Thinking about this, Chen Kan shook his head with a wry smile, and strengthened his determination not to wade into the troubled waters.
……
……
On the fifth day after Chen Kan left Shengjing Pass, Shengjing Pass ushered in a strange team.
The reason why this team is strange is because the leader of this team is actually a woman.
It is not uncommon for women to be inferior to men in Yunnan Tusi, but in the Central Plains, even in the lowliest merchant families, there are few women in charge.
The officers and soldiers who routinely interrogated reported this matter as a joke to Zhao Chen, the commander of Shengjing Pass, Zhao Chen didn't think much about it, but let them go after confirming that there was nothing wrong with this group of people, but he looked at the one-armed man with a sword in the team, and always felt that there was something wrong with this man.
But he couldn't say what was wrong.
It was as if he didn't see the same kind of people, but he had the feeling of seeing those merchants in foreign countries who took the ancient tea horse road, but there were more foreign people who walked this trade route, and he soon forgot about it.
In an inn in Qujing Mansion, the woman stretched her waist, and the silk shawl on her body slipped down her shoulders.
The one-armed man bent down, picked up the shawl, put it in his nose and sniffed it, pulled out a hideous smile on his face, and said lightly in a strange tone: "I never thought that Yunnan was still a good place." ”
The woman pulled off the hairpin, and her long hair poured down like a waterfall, and when she heard this, she smiled: "Yes, I never thought that at this time, the Jingshi is still in the south of the Yangtze River, and the wind is biting, but the land in Yunnan is already full of birds and flowers, and even a little hot." ”
The big puff on the woman's body slipped down in response, revealing the beautiful fragrant shoulders, and the pride wrapped in the small coat showed a beautiful curve after the big daunt receded.
Down is a slender that seems to be blown down by a gust of wind, but the roundness behind it provides strong support for the slenderness of this palm.
A hint of heartfelt appreciation flashed in the man's eyes, and then he stretched out his arm to wrap his arms around the woman's slender waist and whispered, "This time, you shouldn't have come." ”
The woman was noncommittal, snorted and asked, "What do you say over there in Shuzhong?" ”
