Chapter 22 Becoming an Official
One of the three thieves died, but now it's good, you don't have to think about anything, it's a fact, and there is no need to look ahead and backwards, and you won't have to worry about the gains and losses. At this point, Gu Zuo breathed a sigh of relief, they killed a family of people in Nanwu Prefecture, no matter what they do in the future, at least one will be executed first, which can be regarded as an explanation for their own people, otherwise the people will be very resentful.
Gu Zuo asked: "It is one case to continue to interrogate the two thieves, and the matter of Tian Dynasty is another, what should you do?"
Cheng Shanhu said: "Tian Chao is a big trouble, according to my intentions, simply kill him too, send a letter to the law department, and say that there are casualties in mining." Otherwise, Youzhou will definitely not give up, a few here today, a few tomorrow, where can we deal with it?
Although this idea sounds very iron-clad, but if you think about it carefully, it is really a good idea, and it kills people, which not only meets the wishes of Zhong and Chen to join the army, but also saves their own trouble. Of course, there are also drawbacks, that is, they offend the people of Youzhou to death, especially Tian Chenghei, Gu Zuo still has an impression of this name. The decline of the Tang Dynasty began in the Anshi Rebellion, but the division of feudal towns began with the Tian family.
It's just that I don't know if the story of the other Datang will be repeated in this Datang, which is what makes Gu Zuo most entangled. Knowing something doesn't necessarily work, it's quite a headache.
But no matter what, the name Tian Chengsi has brought a lot of pressure to Gu Zuo.
The butcher saw Gu Zuo's doubts, and he understood it very well. From their point of view, the two sides are thousands of miles apart, there is really no need to give Youzhou people any good looks, they will be sentenced if they commit crimes, and they will be killed if they hurt their lives, which is justified.
But Gu Zuo is the lord of Southern Wu Prefecture, standing in his position, his vision is broad, he must consider the identity of Tian Dynasty's military cavalry, consider Lu Longjun, consider Tian Chenghei, consider An Lushan, consider Yang Xiang, and of course, the will of the local Black Mountain edict, under all aspects, it is difficult to weigh.
Thinking of this, the butcher was suddenly startled, and before he knew it, the little fishmonger who set up the stall back then had begun to think about these questions?
Seeing Gu Zuo pondering for a moment, he asked Liu Xuanji, "What do you think?"
Liu Xuanji offered advice: "In my opinion, these are just three thieves who want to come to Nanwu Prefecture to make a lot of ill-gotten gains, what kind of Youzhou and other words, under the banner of General Zuo Wuwei, swaggering and bluffing! Didn't they all confess themselves? Originally, they wanted to sell horses, but when they saw that our Southern Wuzhou was empty, they actually had evil intentions and tried in vain to steal spirit stones. Such thieves were originally sent directly to work in the mines, but since they hurt the people, they can only pay for their lives, there is nothing to say!"
Gu Zuo thought for a long time, nodded and said, "Brother Liu's words are reasonable! Then this case will be handed over to Brother Liu for judgment!"
Liu Xuanji was puzzled: "I sentence?"
Gu Zuo nodded: "Yes, you decide the case, you pronounce the verdict!"
Liu Xuanji suddenly felt bad, and said with a dry smile: "Pavilion Master Gu said that he laughed, I am a criminal prisoner, how can I be qualified to judge the case?"
Gu Zuo said: "No, no, no, Brother Liu is well-informed and familiar with the figures in the DPRK and China, and this case belongs to you." By the way, Brother Liu can call me Gu Changshi in the future, well, I am the governor of Nanwu Governor, Brother Liu knows it. ”
As he spoke, Gu Zuo touched the storage lock, and remembered that the paper and pen he bought were thrown into the warehouse of the Nanwuzhou supermarket, and there was pen and ink in the small storage wrench, but there was just no paper, so he said to a few people: "Things are like this, when you don't need them, you dangle in front of you every day, and you can't find them when you want to use them...... Who has pen and paper?"
Cheng Shanhu pulled out a crumpled and folded piece of yellow paper in his arms: "I haven't used up the toilet paper......"
"Nothing else?" Gu Zuo was a little disgusted and asked Cheng Shanhu to spread the paper on the table by himself, and he lifted the pen to hang his wrist, and the pen walked away from the dragon and snake, and in an instant, an appointment document was written.
took out the wooden box, opened it in the eyes of everyone, and ran his fingers around twice above the row of seals in the wooden box, picked out the Changshi seal, opened the ink box and dipped it full, and pressed it down on the yellow paper.
"It's done!" Gu Zuo put away the seal, put it in the wooden box, and picked out a small seal used in the Jiupin Record from it and put it on the yellow paper.
Cheng Shanhu stuffed the yellow paper with the seal into Liu Xuanji's hand: "Okay, Liu Daoyou is now qualified to judge the case, this is your confession." ”
Liu Xuanji smiled bitterly: "I am a prisoner, how can I be an official?"
Gu Zuo said: "So it's the record of the Department of Power and Law, when your misappropriation period expires next year, let's look at the political performance and remove the actual vacancy, how about it? ”
Liu Xuanji opened it and read it, and sure enough, it was a "record of the Department of Rights and Law", and there was no rank, so he struggled and said: "Liu Moude is not worthy, can you refuse to resign?"
The butcher frowned, turned his head and suggested to Gu Zuo: "No. 1 pit ......"
Liu Xuanji hurriedly said: "Although Liu is sparse and talented, compared with mine affairs, he is still more suitable for judging cases. ”
The first temporary official of Nanwu Prefecture took office in a state of half-pressure and half-resignation, and the first case in which he took office made people scratch their heads.
In fact, the case is not complicated, the key is that someone needs to take the blame, in order not to be sent to the mine by the butcher, Liu Xuanji can only bravely sign the verdict.
Three thieves from the north, coveting the spiritual stone veins of Nanwu Mountain, intending to steal, for the people of Nanwu Prefecture Wang and his wife broke through, killed for some reason, after the trial of the law department, the human and material evidence was conclusive, according to the Tang law of several beheading. The document was sent to the Chang'an Criminal Department for the record, and the payment was made by Liu, the secretary of the Nanwu Prefecture Legal Division.
As for Tian Chao, no one cares anymore, and a few people don't know. It is conceivable that Tian Chengsi will never sit idly by and watch his son be used for mining, and there will definitely be trouble in the future, so it is an emergency method for headaches, but now he is in a hurry to develop Nanwu Prefecture, and he has no time, no energy and no strength to fall out with the north. If things get big in the future, Gu Zuo can pretend to cover it up, saying that he doesn't know about it, which can be regarded as a buffer.
Gu Zuo was still very unhappy that Chen Haozi got such a person for him, but Nanwu Prefecture was in the Black Mountain Edict, and he had to rely on others for everything, but he had nothing to do, so he could only mention some butchers and others, and pay more attention in the future.
The trial has been completed, Liu Xuanji posted a notice in Shuangfeng Town, personally supervised the execution, in addition to the mine vein can not stop work, more than 200 people came to the scene, witnessed the execution process, two still alive thieves in a cheer of different heads. The people's grievances subsided, and Gu Zuo's prestige soared.
When the two heads landed, the butcher said to Gu Zuo: "Deacon Cheng is decisive, especially responsible, and can be of great use." ”
Gu Zuoshen thought so: "Do you think it's better to let him take care of which stall?"
The butcher said, "Bing Cao." ”
So, Gu Zuo quickly issued his second order after being the governor of Nanwu, and recruited Chengshan Hu to join the army for the soldiers of Nanwu Prefecture, from the seventh grade. This is a formal appointment, with a serious rank, and the paper of the farewell body is also a serious silk.
After Cheng Shanhu took the body and seal, he carefully put it away and returned to his residence to observe it carefully.
After hearing this, his friend Su San rushed to congratulate him, Cheng Shanhu was sacrificing to his ancestors, and after the sacrifice, he sighed to him: "We are a dart walker, and we are actually mixed with the official body, you said that this matter is troublesome...... In fact, if you talk about your own heart, it is not what I want to be an official, and this official prefers to travel in the mountains and forests, refining qi and serving the Dan ......"
Su San snatched the sue and said: "If you can't find the owner of the museum, I'll go and say it for you, ask the owner to change someone, for example, I, Su San, is very suitable for ......"
Cheng Shanhu hurriedly went to rob the body: "Hey, be careful, this is the official's thing, do you think it's a dart so casual? If it is broken, the official will never give up with you!"
