Chapter 494 Goes to Cangsong County
Everyone was talking about the matter of committing suicide in the Han Dynasty, which was a capital crime in the Han Dynasty.
Next to the young woman stood a little boy of six or seven years old, who looked very thin.
He was dressed in gray rags, and the little boy had tears on his face.
"This is the Ming Mansion Jun of this county, if you have any grievances, you can tell him."
The people around him mentioned Liu Zhang to the young woman, and he looked up.
"What's your name? Which county does the county belong to? ”
This young woman's ancestral home should not be the county seat under the jurisdiction of Wuwei County, and he should have migrated from the interior of the Han Dynasty.
"The name of the people's woman is Green Valley, and the hometown of the people's county is Cangsong County, and the king of the Ming Mansion wants to uphold justice for the people's women."
"Tell me about it."
Cangsong County is under the jurisdiction of Wuwei County, if Midorigu's husband was really wronged.
According to Midori Valley, they were originally from Tianshui County, Longxi County.
The couple farmed land for the local family in Tianshui County, and heard that a large number of people had migrated to Wuwei County.
The couple and their children are not well fed and clothed, although they are safe in Tianshui County.
But the preferential policies issued by the imperial court, as long as you go to Wuwei County, you can get land.
In the first year, taxes are exempted for one year, half of the population tax and land tax are paid in the second year, and only one-third is paid in the third year.
One-third of the people of Tianshui County volunteered to come to Wuwei County, and the couple was given a large piece of wasteland.
The government stipulated that 10 households should have one cow, but that was only a month ago.
A cow died in their village, and some people suspected that Qi Ertie committed suicide by committing suicide.
Midoriya cried and said that they were honest people and would never do anything to kill their cattle at all.
The death of a cow shocked the whole village, and Qi Ertie is now imprisoned in the county jail.
Midoriya took the child to the county government to appeal many times, and the county order upheld the original verdict.
If Qi Ertie cannot be proven innocent, he will be executed after this autumn.
Liu Zhang is thinking that Ertie's education level is not high, and he still understands the most basic laws.
Killing cattle was a felony, and cattle were an important labor resource in the Han Dynasty.
It was necessary to find out if the cattle were sick and if someone was slaughtering the beef for profit.
Qi Ertie became a scapegoat, and Liu Zhang decided to go to Cangsong County to investigate clearly.
This is a matter of human life, and we will never wronged a good person, nor will we let go of a bad person.
Liu Zhang is not good at investigating the case, and since he encounters this kind of thing, he can't ignore it.
I don't know if the Cangsong county magistrate was involved in this case, but the current county magistrate of Cangsong is Guo Huai.
Liu Zhang knew that the subordinate officials under his jurisdiction had been corrupt and accepted bribes in private some time ago.
Liu Zhang gave them a chance to mend their ways, if he found out that they were corrupt and bribed again.
Many of the officials here have only been in office for a few months, and they don't really want to come to this kind of place.
Not only is it dangerous here, but the living environment is difficult, and they are not as optimistic as Liu Zhang.
They would prefer to be assigned to a more affluent place, but it backfires.
They were assigned to this place, and the greatest threat they faced was the mighty Huns.
Once the Xiongnu invaded, the county commander, the county lieutenant, the taishou, and the duwei had to lead the local army to resist the Xiongnu.
These officials died extremely high in the process of resisting the Xiongnu invasion, and the border counties could only vent their anger on the people.
"Would you like to come with me to see it? I don't think it's that simple. ”
Liu Zhang looked at Huo Quai, if he didn't want to follow, then he didn't force it.
"I'll go with you to take a look, I don't know what method you will use to solve the case."
Huo Qubing only knows how to fight, and this place is not what he is good at.
Liu Zhang commanded the army to fight the war, I don't know how good his ability to govern the local area is?
It seems that this time the wine will not be drunk, and it is important to get down to business.
Liu Zhang asked the wine shop guy to prepare a meal for the mother and son, and he paid for the money.
The little boy was already cooing with hunger, and he was really well-behaved and didn't cry out hungry.
"You eat first, and when you're full, we'll go to Cangsong County together."
There are hundreds of miles to Cangsong County, and if you ride a fast horse, you can get there in half a day.
They also had to prepare a carriage for the mother and son, and they couldn't ride horses.
"Xie Ming Mansion Jun!" Midoriya thanked Liu Zhang
Originally, I wanted to buy two coarse grain cakes for my son to satisfy his hunger, and watched the guy bring corn rice, acetic cabbage, and boiled salted chicken.
When they had eaten and drunk enough, a carriage was prepared for them.
As the family members of the suspects, they naturally have to go to the county office.
Walking at the current pace, they will be able to reach Cangsong County at noon tomorrow.
"If you think it's a little slow, I'll ask someone to take you to Changsong County, and I'll be there tomorrow."
Liu Zhang knew that Huo Qu's illness was a bit acute, but he didn't want to walk slowly.
"It's okay lately, I'll arrive in Cangsong County with you."
Huo Qubing is idle anyway, and the Xiongnu have not invaded recently.
Let's see how Liu Zhang tried the case and see who committed suicide?
Along the way, I saw many people farming on the cultivated land, hoping for a good harvest this summer.
There are huts on both sides of the road, and some children are playing and chasing.
Liu Zhang couldn't help but think back to his childhood, whether it was in the future or in this era.
He was also quite happy, and he was really carefree at that time.
But now he has taken on a heavy responsibility and is less and more away from his family.
Some people waved to greet Liu Zhang, and they knew him.
Watch him ride a red horse, accompanied by some strong guards.
They knew that Liu Zhang was inspecting various places, so there were no people to disturb them.
In fact, the people are very afraid of officials, and if they make the officials unhappy, they will inevitably be punished.
It was true that they knew Liu Zhang, and they didn't dare to run over to greet him directly.
Liu Zhang watched those people waving in the distance, and they were in awe of the officials.
Even the officials are afraid like tigers, and they don't want to delay the official affairs of the Taishou.
"These people are in awe of you, and their attitude towards you is different from that of the people of the Red Marquis Kingdom."
Huo Quzhi saw the awe in the eyes of those people, and it was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
In the past, he led the Han army to fight against the Xiongnu, and he did not have much contact with the local people.
He didn't want to waste his time, and today he saw with his own eyes the attitude of the local people towards the officials he encountered.
"In the perception of the people, there should be a sense of reverence for officials. If they hadn't been cornered, they wouldn't have done too much. ”
Unless someone took the lead in the rebellion, the rest of the people responded.
The premise is that the local officials let them have no way to live, such as the uprising of various forces at the end of the Qin Dynasty.
Liu Zhang is not surprised by this situation, and some people often see the pomp and circumstance of the county order.
Let them be very envious, and the pomp of Taishou Travel is even greater.
Huo Quzhi was just curious, and he hadn't noticed these details before.
How are the people doing? It's not something he can manage, and he doesn't have that much time to care.
He only wanted to completely eliminate the Huns, and he wanted to surpass Liu Zhang's record.
He heard that Liu Zhang's personal beheading of the Huns had reached more than 8,000, and he was about to reach 10,000 people.
"I heard that you killed more than 8,000 Huns, and I fought the Huns earlier than you, but not as many Huns as you killed."
Huo Qubing wanted to compare with Liu Zhang, hoping that the Xiongnu would invade.
Look at who can kill the Huns more and faster, if the Huns know Huo Quai's thoughts.
They will definitely be so angry that they will scold their mother, and the Huns are not lambs, they can kill them if they want to.
Huo Quai, no matter what the Huns think, as long as they dare to come, then let them have no return.
"After a while, the Xiongnu will definitely come to the Han border to loot, and we have an opportunity."
Liu Zhang felt that the Xiongnu would not stay on the grassland forever, and they survived the winter.
They don't have much to eat, and it is estimated that many of their livestock are dying of starvation.
They made up for their losses by looting, and it has to be said that these Huns were unlucky enough.
The environment in which they live is harsh, and we have to admire their fighting strength.
"After a while, the Xiongnu may invade Wuwei County. A few months ago, they lost fifty thousand, and they won't be reconciled. ”
The Xiongnu probably thought that it was cold at that time, which was not conducive to their fighting.
The Xiongnu wanted to take back control of the land west of the river and open the way to the Western Regions.
In the spring of this year, Liu Che sent envoys to the Western Regions, hoping to make friendly friends with the Western Regions.
This is Liu Che's long-distance and close-range attack strategy, although the Western Regions is weak, but the strategic value is extremely high.
It is estimated that the Han Dynasty mission will pass through Wuwei County in May, which is March.
This year's envoy to the Western Regions was Zhang Qian, although the last time he sent to the Western Regions, he did not achieve his goal.
That's because the countries of the Western Regions felt that the situation was uncertain, and the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu were evenly matched.
They felt that neither side could be offended, and this time it was different.
The Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu many times and also occupied several strategic locations.
The countries of the Western Regions had to cooperate with the Han Dynasty, and if the Han Dynasty freed up its hands one day.
That was the disaster of the countries in the Western Regions, and the Xiongnu basically cut off contact with the countries of the Western Regions.
"In the future, it will be difficult for the Xiongnu to control the countries of the Western Regions, and the land west of the river is the throat road to the Western Regions."
Liu Zhang is very confident that four counties will be built in the Hexi Corridor in the future.
