(The blocked public chapters have all been unblocked, and there should be no missing chapters now, so you can read them with confidence!)

Early in the morning, the yamen was promoted, Chen Sanlang was not there, and all affairs were handed over to Zhou Fencao to preside. He had already heard the report of the soldiers, and he couldn't help frowning.

Water can be taken by boat, or it can be overturned, and the people's hearts are the most unpredictable. The most important thing in the rule of the imperial court is also the control of the people's will, so the dynastic code, decrees, etc., are specific and harsh on the regulations for the management of the people's will. One of them is to erect a righteous god and strictly prohibit wild sacrifices.

In ancient times, information was not developed, and many people did not read and write, on the one hand, they were limited by their family difficulties and could not afford to learn, and on the other hand, they were inseparable from the imperial court's policy of ignoring the people.

However, the foolish people are also a double-edged sword, on the one hand, it is easy to rule, and on the other hand, it is also easy to be used by hostile forces to incite the people to rebel.

Therefore, it is necessary to restrict and supervise from all aspects. Incense belief is an extremely critical field, so the imperial court canonizes the gods, and only the sects that are recognized by the imperial court and guarantee allegiance will be accepted into orthodoxy, and temples can be established in various parts of the world to accept the people's kneeling. What is not recognized is the wild sacrifice, and once discovered, it will be banned and exterminated.

Orthodox sects, recognized by temples, have a decent space for development, they have inherited most of them for a hundred years, have a profound heritage, and have complete doctrines;

When the wild festival develops into a scale, it is extremely harmful. Once those brainwashed believers start a frenzy, they lose their minds completely, and even their relatives don't recognize them, and they can do anything.

Those who are officials are not afraid of natural disasters, but they are afraid of the appearance of wild sacrifices to evil gods in their jurisdiction. However, the two are often closely related. Complement one another.

The people of the world have a simple personality, even if they have not read, they are simple in nature, as long as they have food to eat and clothes to wear. It will be safe and divided.

This character, like a deer, is docile.

But when the people are struggling to make a living and are pushed to a desperate situation, it's different. Rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry, and at that point, the people's hearts are in turmoil, and they dare not do anything for the sake of survival?

Since the founding of the Xia Yu Dynasty. Several generations of emperors have worked hard to create a prosperous era and blossom. The people live and work in peace and contentment, even if they encounter drought and flood disasters, because of the timely relief from the government, there has never been a major chaos.

And now, Zhou Fencao asked the ins and outs of the matter, and he was faintly uneasy in his heart. I feel that Jing County may be in a big mess.

A whole village, hundreds of people. They were all absorbed by the evil gods and died cleanly, and it must be shocking for the news to spread.

Although the current government and the opposition are attracted by the Shi Po Army, they have no time to take care of other things. Kejing County is where Chen Sanlang's foundation is located, and it was disturbed by the wild sacrifice, how can the situation be stable in the long run?

If he loses the hearts of the people, then he will not be able to do it as a county honor.

"Such an important thing. Why didn't Gongzi go back to the yamen with the soldiers and brave men to try and decide the case? As an adult, he should be in a steady position, plan thousands of miles, and go to the local area to investigate, but he has lost his sense of proportion. ”

Zhou Fencao had a slight complaint, but since Chen Sanlang handed over the interrogation of Zhou Lizheng to himself, he didn't dare to slack off, and he had to deal with it with twelve points of spirit.

"Smack!"

As soon as the hall was beaten, the two rows of officials shouted "mighty" and began to sit in the hall.

Zhou Lizheng's family knelt below, all pale faces. Zhou Lizheng knew that the stakes were high, and colluded with the wild sacrifice to commit murder, and brought disaster to the township, no matter where he was reported, it was a big crime to kill his head. He didn't deny it, he didn't wait for the punishment, 1510, the bamboo tube poured beans and explained the matter, saying that he was bewitched by the wild sacrifice sect and received a hundred taels of gold, so that the other party could do things in Gaotian Township without restraint......

Last night in Zhou Lizheng's house, there were strong servants with weapons in their hands, intending to resist, but they were all killed, and after the people were arrested, they were also raided, and three chests of gold and silver treasures were taken out, all of which were considered evidence of crime.

Anyway, there is no way to argue, so it is better to take the initiative to say it, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin.

In addition, Zhou Lizheng is not waiting for death obediently, but has other plans.

According to the usual practice, the case is finalized, and Jing County will write to the imperial court. Then wait for the court documents to come down, and ask for the beheading after the autumn. It will take at least a few months to go back and forth.

A few months is enough time for a lot to happen. At that time, it is difficult to say whether Jing County will still be surnamed Chen.

Thinking of the strength of the backer behind him, Zhou Li was determined and had confidence.

Although Tang Zhou Fencao did not wear official robes, he was not angry and arrogant, and his momentum was undiminished, and he patted Tang Mu again, and shouted: "Bold Zhou Lizheng, as a squire, greedy for money and bending the law, brewing the disaster of destroying the village, the crime is extremely evil, come to someone, hit a hundred boards!"

"What?"

Zhou Li was busy shouting: "I confessed, you still dare to torture?"

Zhou Fencao sneered: "If you don't recruit yourself, you should be beaten if you recruit!"

Zhou Lizheng was shocked and angry: "You, you!"

I was so angry that I couldn't speak.

There were already officials on both sides, holding water and fire sticks, and pressed Zhou Lizheng to the ground, and one of them directly took off his pants, revealing his white buttocks.

Crackle!

The hand fell with a stick and hit the two strands hard. After just a few sticks, the skin and flesh were opened, and the blood was dripping.

Zhou Li is usually in the countryside as a prestige, accustomed to enjoyment, He has been punished, was beaten to the birth of a Buddha, a Buddha ascended to heaven, twenty rolls did not end, fainted.

Zhou Fencao's face was grim, and he shouted: "Wake up with cold water and continue fighting!"

Such a thief, who is innocent of death, can make him feel better.

After the beating was over, the interrogation was over, and the person was put into the prison, at this time, Chen Sanlang came back.

Zhou Fencao hurriedly told him about the interrogation and asked Chen Sanlang what he thought. Chen Sanlang immediately did not hesitate to tell the strategy and policy that he had said most of the time with Xiaoyao Fudao last night. These words put his heart into his heart, and even made the origin of Shura Sect clear.

After hearing this, Zhou Fencao couldn't help but be stunned, and said, this week is for a hundred taels of gold, but it is not like this, it turns out that there are still people behind him to instigate support:

"Good thief, his words are untrue, he should be promoted again and fight again. ”

Chen Sanlang said with a smile: "If you fight again, you will be killed, who will be sent to the street to parade the public?"

Zhou Fencao hurriedly said: "It's me who is reckless." After a pause, he asked: "I heard Gongzi say that this wild sacrifice has a very big history, from the barbarian state, and now the barbarian state is in turmoil, could it be that the barbarian army is coming to attack Yangzhou, so that the wild sacrifice will disturb the people's hearts first?"

Chen Sanlang said: "The rebels broke Yongzhou, and Yangzhou bordered Yongzhou, of course, Shi Pojun wanted to eat Yangzhou by the way." It's just that Yuan Wenchang is here in Yangzhou, so he won't move. ”

Zhou Fencao understood that Yuan Wenchang was a famous general in the world, and for many years, Yangzhou had been governed like an iron bucket by him, and there were countless elite soldiers under him, and it was quite unwise for Shi Pojun to want to attack. If you are not careful, you will lose both sides and lose the capital to advance north. Therefore, as long as you are not dizzy, you will never come to Yangzhou.

"It's just, in this case, why did this Shura Sect come to our Jing County to make waves? In any case, Jing County belongs to Yangzhou, wouldn't this move be the face of Yuan Wenchang?"

Chen Sanlang sighed: "Because if our county government can't control the Shura Sect, Yangzhou will send troops to Jing County." At that time, Jing County will be the Yuan family's words. ”

Zhou Fencao was terrified, Huo Ran woke up, and blurted out: "What a trick to drive away wolves!" (To be continued.) )
