DAY 072 A BREAKTHROUGH

Wu Bin shouted three times in a row, and finally someone poked his head out from the top of the city: "Please wait, please report to the prefect immediately!" After shouting, the man ran away quickly.
But this wait took about half an hour to modern times. Wu Bin approached Bai Minghe and whispered: "Master Qian should be in the city tower, otherwise the people dressed by several masters would not stand outside the city tower."
"What are you afraid of when you wait? I guess Magistrate Qian has some headaches now?" Bai Minghe put his hands behind his back, but his eyes turned to the people.
These people say they are rioters, but they are also counted because at least half of them are holding sticks.
It is said that it is not a rioter, but half of them are the elderly, weak, women and children!
These people were also observing Bai Minghe. Another county magistrate in Hepu County was added, but a general came. This proved that the previous juren said was correct. The court did not send anyone to quell the rebellion. That was the case that several officials died in the Hepu County Office and were suppressed by the prefect Qian.
Now, these people do not want to riot.
They were just forced to have no way to survive, but now they are dying together. This is a petition. If the court can give them a way to survive, then no one is willing to die.
But if the government does not give them a way to live, there is another way to die.
That is Siming Mansion!
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, this is not the first time, nor is it the most serious. In the third year of Tianshun, countless people died in the largest collection, and 14,500 taels of pearls were collected. The place where the manpower of the Zhuchi Pond was accessible was almost empty. The next year, a guardian eunuch asked to pick 1,000 taels of pearls. There were no pearls to pick at the Zhuchi Pond, which triggered a riot among the Zhuchi Pond.
That time was the real riot.
The entire Hepu County died and fled. In the end, there was no one hundred people left in the entire county.
Now all the people in Hepu County are forced to move here from other coastal counties in Guangdong.
The Zhumin people dared not rebel, but they might have lived harder when they fled to Annan, but at least they could survive. Staying here is looking forward to the last hope, and the more the reason is that they can't bear to watch their relatives beheaded. What's more, there are four juren masters who are helping them. For these four juren, the Zhumin people also pray that a miracle will happen.
The people silently retreated from this person who suddenly appeared and claimed to be the magistrate of Hepu County.
The original location of Baiminghe was about 500 meters away from these people.
But in less than half an hour, these people were almost one thousand meters away from the white-famous crane.
Bai Minghe noticed this change, and it can only be said that the people of the Ming Dynasty were still afraid of the government.
On the other side, right in the city tower. Prefect Qian looked under the city wall through the crack in the window. The Bai Minghe suddenly appeared, which made him feel uneasy.
Bai Minghe has been in Hepu for ten days, why has he only come now? And he chose this day to come over to let him enter the city or not. Prefect Qian was really a little confused. He has been in Lianzhou for six years. Although he dare not say that he is a piece of solid body, he is also airtight.
After the Jinyiwei took his money, he naturally would not reveal some of his own affairs.
Commander Mao was a fool. He thought he was loyal to the emperor and loved soldiers, and most of the money he got was divided into various thousand households. Is there a commander who did not drink the blood of soldiers in the Daming garrison now? Prefect Qian did not believe it, so he believed that Commander Mao was acting, and he must have other ways to make money.
Since you have also collected your own money, you should not ruin your own business.
After 70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver were given away, and the governor's office also let him go. What kind of storm can a small seventh-rank county magistrate cause?
Thinking of this, Prison Qian ordered: "Come on, let County Magistrate Bai enter the city!"
"Mr. Tai, you must not." A master stood up and advised: "Sir, even if you let him enter the city, you will wait until you can do the major matter first. If there are any troubles..."
Prefect Qian took a breath, not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of what if.
Baiminghe was notorious, and he also informed himself of some information about the capital. Baiminghe even Yang Ning, a second-rank official of the Ministry of Rites, dared to take a bite. What else did he dare not?
What if this white-named crane doesn’t know the practice and ruins his own affairs?
"Okay, let me tell him. It's time for the third of noon. I will deal with these troubled people first, and then invite him into the city. Now that the city gate is open, if the chaotic people are pouring in, I can't bear this responsibility, I can't bear it either!" Priest Qian ordered, and immediately someone ran to the city wall and passed this to Bai Minghe.
Bai Minghe was not surprised at all when he heard such a reply.
After explaining to Wu Bin a few words, Wu Bin shouted under the city: "My master said that everything is based on what the Master of the Mansion said."
When the two of them were calling, several Jinyiwei also came to the city wall. They came in accordance with Du Shuangyu's promise. Lord Mu of the School Government of Lianzhou Prefecture would arrive at about 2 noon.
Just so happened that these Jinyiwei heard the shouting below.
One of them stretched out his head and looked at it, and he was really shocked.
The county magistrate is a seventh-rank small official, and Baihu is a real sixth-rank military officer, but he serves as an attendant for a seventh-rank small official. I am afraid that this matter will be spread, and I don’t know how many people will shock them.
Of course, this general flag will not make a name for itself. Wu Bin dares to do this, so there must be his reason.
Retreat to the corner, the Jinyiwei General Banner is also a seventh-rank official. He pulled several subordinates and whispered: "No, even if you move the knife, you will still protect those people."
"Why would you rather kill one and you can kill that money eye?" a small flag asked.
"Don't do anything nonsense. Du Baihu and Wu Baihu are both people with backgrounds. What do they ask us to do? Just follow us. These civil servants are really cruel, more cruel than us. We are chopping people with swords, and they kill people without blood. If they ruin the work of that adult, we can't afford it!"
Several Jinyiwei nodded and agreed with this statement.
Time passed by little by little, and an old man wearing a Confucian scholar robe came up to the top of the city. Bai Minghe looked carefully. Several people tied up struggled a few times, but after being hit hard by the yamen runners who were specifically looking after them, they all became quiet.
"Wu Bin, do you think there is something strange about the few people they are guarding?"
"Seven, not four." Wu Bin is a Jinyiwei. Even if he is young, he has eaten pork. Naturally, he knows that the key guards must be different.
"I want them to live!" Bai Minghe said to Wu Bin with a smile.
Wu Bin laughed dryly: "If you let live, you will definitely be able to live. However, the Qian person may not want them to live."
While Bai Minghe was talking to Wu Bin, Qian Wuyan came out. He just glanced at the old Xuezheng and walked to the front of the city without saying a word: "If you wait for the unruly people, if you don't retreat, you will be the same as the ones in this city. Come on, start a lawsuit and ask for the execution!"
At that moment, the bright knife was raised.
"Stop!" Wu Bin shouted violently.
Seeing the surprised expression on the executioner's face, Bai Minghe stood up: "Mr. Qian, according to the Ming Dynasty law, you must always report a crime before the execution, and give the prisoner a chance to complain. If you ask for the execution, you must have a reply from the Ministry of Justice. The officials are brave enough to know if Mr. Qian has it!"
"The people who are in chaos should be punished!"
"Where is the evidence?" Bai Minghe faced tit-for-tat.
"I have reported to the yamen of the governor, and the unruly people who are in trouble should be executed according to the law. This is not a criminal, but a rioter!" Qian Wuyan looked down on Bai Minghe in his heart. A small juren became a county magistrate the size of a sesame. You have only been in the officialdom for a few years and fight with me. You are still far from being apart!
Bai Minghe was not in a hurry, but turned around and clasped his fists at all the people around him: "Dear elders, you should be from Hepu County. This official is the new county magistrate of Hepu, and he is polite."
Many people knelt down and returned the gift to the Baiming He.
Bai Minghe turned around and pointed at the city wall: "Mr. Qian, you have to start a surgery and ask for it. You must always verify your true self!"
"Dare you doubt this official?" Qian Wuyan glared at Bai Minghe.
Bai Minghe smiled and clasped his fists: "Mr. Qian, the lower officials do not have this courage. However, the lower officials heard that Mr. Qian mistakenly arrested several people with fame and fortune as rioters. As a county's parents, the lower officials naturally dare not ignore them."
"Nonsense!" Qian Wuyan felt like he was stabbed by a knife. He didn't care if he killed 100 people, even if he killed 500 people. But the four juren really had their own evidence of their crimes. If he couldn't find out where these people hid their evidence of their crimes, he would never let these four juren go.
Did Bai Minghe get the news from there, did he come specifically to fight against him?
Qian Wuyan's momentum was still there, but his heart was weak.
"I dare to ask Lord Bai for advice, can you tell the names of the four people?" A man dressed in a master stood beside Prefect Qian.
"Yes, Bai Minghe, do you know the names of those four people?"
Bai Minghe stretched out his hand gently, and Wu Bin handed a piece of paper in Bai Minghe's hands. Bai Minghe picked up the paper and shook it gently: "These four are Hepu County Juren, Tao Liwen, Lu Qiyuan, Qinzhou Juren, Li Jishan, and He Yixuan." After that, Bai Minghe turned around and asked the people: "Dear elders, I don't know if the name I said is wrong."
"Please take charge of Master Qingtian!" This time, most of the people knelt down.
The master whispered a few words in Qian Wuyan's ear, and Qian Wuyan burst into laughter.
Chapter completed!
