Chapter 330 Troubled Times 50
Wushuang was really curious as to whether the yamen servant did not say that the person riding the horse was Chu Nanze, or whether this warrior really dared to come and capture Chu Nanze.
Unexpectedly, the officer smiled bitterly and said: "Of course my subordinates said that the one riding the horse is the general, and the general is a good horseman. Even if he is horse racing in the city, he will not hurt anyone.
But the squad leader who patrolled the city was stubborn. He insisted that the general riding a horse in the city would not hurt anyone, but it would disturb the people and break the rules.
The man also said that this law was personally agreed upon by the general and his wife, and that both officials and civilians must abide by the law. If an official breaks the law knowingly, he will be punished twice as much.
As the highest official, the general should take the lead in complying with it, insisting that the general pay the fine, receive ideological education, and double the punishment, so as to remember not to ride horses in the city next time."
Wu Shuang smiled and praised: "I like this person. Law enforcers should not be afraid of power and enforce the law strictly in order to be fair and just."
After saying that, Wushuang looked at Chu Nanze who looked at her with an aggrieved look, touched his face, and said distressedly: "You worked hard on the expedition, and you are eager to see me when you come back. I am very touched."
Chu Nanze's eyes immediately lit up, but the next moment Wushuang changed the subject and said: "But the laws still have to be followed.
Even though you are a general, you still have to be punished if you break the law. Only in this way can you convince the public and silence those who make mistakes in the future and rely on their official positions and relatives to plead for mercy.
General, you go and get the punishment with the captain of the patrolling city guard. When you come back, I will help you prepare a big banquet to wash away the dust."
Chu Nanze put his big head on Wu Shuang's shoulder, a man who was as majestic as a killing god on the battlefield, bleeding and not shedding tears.
At this moment, he was like a big dog with droopy ears, complaining aggrievedly: "People are eager to see you, but you still want to use others to establish your authority. You don't even think about me, and you are not good to me."
Wushuang was helpless by Chu Nanze's coquettishness. This man was getting better and better at picking on her weaknesses, so much so that she almost retorted that she wouldn't let him be punished.
Hugging Chu Nanze and patting his back, Wushuang coaxed him softly: "Who said I don't miss you anymore? I miss you just like you.
I know you are anxious to see me, and you feel wronged by me asking you to be punished. Let's do this. After you accept the punishment, I will put aside my official duties and spare a day to go out with you as compensation, okay?"
Wushuang and Chu Nanze have been busy since they last attended the wedding of their younger sisters Xiao Wuyou and An Mouying.
For such a long time, let alone going out together, there was very little time alone.
It was a rare meeting, either for a meeting with his subordinates or to discuss the future direction, it was all business.
Chu Nanze was very happy to travel together with Wushuang, even for just one day.
He said happily: "Then I will go and receive the punishment. You should prepare well. When I come back, we will go out and play together."
After thinking about it, Chu Nanze added another sentence: "There are only two of us, and we don't take anyone with us."
Wushuang laughed and said: "You are a petty person, they are all so busy, they don't have time to go out and play, of course it's just the two of us."
Chu Nanze left happily. The yamen officer watched the whole process, first looking at the sky and the earth, giving full play to the invisible man skills he had learned from Han Lin.
After Chu Nanze left, he glanced at Wushuang with implicit admiration. The general's wife was so powerful. With just a few words, the general was happily punished.
Seeing Chu Nanze walk out, Wushuang sat down at the desk, wrote a warrant, and handed it to the clerk next to him who was responsible for delivering the order.
"Give this warrant to Wang Tongpuan. She is currently worried that the clerk in charge of prison proceedings cannot use it. Tell her that I will give her a useful one and train her well."
This Wang Tongjian is Wang Qingying. The Tongjian is in charge of grain transportation, farmland, water conservancy, litigation and other trivial matters. The biggest headache for Wang Qingying is litigation.
The original general judge was very greedy. Litigation was a lucrative position. Anyone who filed a lawsuit would be drained of money by him. The petty officials under him who were in charge of litigation were also as greedy as the chief. There was no way to keep those who were not in line with others.
After Wushuang came, the original judge and his officials were all sentenced to death. On the way to the execution ground, they were stoned by the onlookers and their heads were bleeding.
Only if the executioner hadn't kept shouting that he couldn't be beaten, and if he couldn't hit the beheader, he would be beaten to death, would the people be willing to stop, because the people thought that separation of the corpses was also a big punishment.
After Wang Qingying took over the position of general judge, there was no one who could manage litigation. She had to do everything by herself, and she almost fell ill.
When Wushuang heard about the patrol captain who came to chase Chu Nanze and wanted him to be punished, his first reaction was that Wang Qingying had found the talent in criminal prosecution that Wang Qingying wanted.
This kind of character is suitable for being a sentencing officer. Of course, it must be cultivated first. It is not enough to have character but no ability, nor to know how to try cases and judge crimes.
Wang Qingying taught Xinliu so well, and she was obviously good at teaching others. Wu Shuang simply asked her to teach this person as well.
Chu Nanze and Wu Shuang's outing failed to take place. Chu Nanze had just paid the fine and received the military report when he took ideological education classes.
King Guangping unexpectedly gathered a large group of rebels and came to attack Chu Nanze.
This King of Guangping was born in Cao Mang, but he was the first to proclaim himself king and start an uprising.
At the beginning, everyone thought that he would not be able to achieve great success if he started a grassroots team.
Unexpectedly, King Guangping was very lucky. Every time he was suppressed by the court and almost couldn't breathe, something unexpected would happen to give him a chance to survive.
After doing this several times, King Guangping really became a leader and gained a large territory.
In a previous battle, Chu Nanze's territory was expanded again. This time, it connected with the territory of King Guangping.
The other party came to attack Chu Nanze in such a hurry, probably because he was worried that Chu Nanze would covet his territory and planned to strike first.
Chu Nanze failed to go out to play with Wu Shuang, so he led the troops into battle with suppressed anger, vowing that when King Guangping was captured, he would shave him bald to relieve his anger.
Chu Nanze went out to fight, and Wushuang began to continue to evaluate and promote lower-level officials, and by the way, promoted officials who had been familiar with them to a higher level.
Wushuang paid great attention to hiring a group of female officials every time, and taking advantage of every opportunity to reshuffle the cards, Wushuang reformed the household registration system. From then on, women became independent individuals and no longer belonged to anyone.
In other words, even if a woman gets married, she no longer needs to take her husband's surname, and all the credit she has will go to herself.
If his merit is greater, he can also protect his children and husband.
Benefits are similar to a husband helping his wife to obtain a royal decree and giving his children the opportunity to attend places like the Imperial College.
Because there are many high-level female officials, this policy has been implemented relatively smoothly. Of course, there are also many opponents, especially the farther away from the border, the more conservative the folk customs, and the louder the opposition.
