Chapter 381 The people all look forward to the sky......
The nine heavens closed the palace, and the clothes and crowns of all nations worshiped... In the morning mist, a few bangs rang out, the Wanping County Yamen Gate opened wide, and the tall lobby appeared in front of us. Dozens of subordinate officials were tidying up.
Dressed in fine clothes, they filed in and lined up to go to the hall to pay homage to the magistrate.
Fang Zhixian sat behind the Gaotai Gongan with a stern look on his face. He raised his eyes to take a closer look and could not help but slightly chin his head. Well, the demeanor of these subordinate officials is much more respectful and cautious today. It seems that the effect is still there.
The county magistrate knows this very well, and Zhang Gui, the head of Zhang, has contributed a lot to this - he spared no effort in the past two days to publicize the fact that the county's eldest brother has entered Xichang and was at war with Qianhu, the head of Xichang. In the end, Qianhu of Xichang was arrested.
The heroic deeds of leaving caused a sensation in the county government. As for the matter of not getting a penny back, this was ignored intentionally or unintentionally.
Most of the subordinate officials in Jing County were natives of the capital. They grew up at the foot of the imperial city. Their horizons and knowledge were wider than those of subordinate officials from other places. In their eyes, the big shots in the imperial court could only be regarded as successive waves of outsiders.
Their characteristics are that they know the size of their fists most, and most of them are fearful of power rather than immoral. The factory guards who are more cruel and unreasonable than them and are also indigenous are simply their biggest nemesis.
Therefore, a magistrate who can openly fall out with the extremely terrifying Xichang Thousand Households and even get away with it, is obviously more awe-inspiring than a magistrate who is well-informed, sensible, and gentle.
What's more, there are seven or eight examples of shackles being displayed under the platform outside the lobby. The subordinate officials can clearly see that four of them are bearers of the county government, and the others are probably their sons.
This was also done by Zhang Gui. After Xichang chose his life and returned to the county government, Bantou Zhang went crazy and captured the four bearers who had escaped earlier, including their sons.
He was arrested at the county government office, beaten with wooden shackles weighing a hundred kilograms, and pinned down in front of the lobby in public display.
There are two types of subordinate servants in the yamen. One type is the yamen servants who work for a lifetime and are replaced by father and son. The other type is the levied servants such as bearers, doormen, cooks, and watchmen, who are replaced as soon as the service period is up.
If a bearer runs away from the battle, it is equivalent to deserting the army. If some of them are not punished, the prestige of Xinzhi County will be lost.
Fang Zhixian didn't want to implicate his family, so he tried to stop him several times, but Zhang Bantou just didn't listen. He just let him go. If Fang Xianzun hadn't stopped him forcefully, Zhang Bantou might have even arrested the wives of these bearers and put them in public.
.From Zhang Bantou, the newly appointed magistrate of Fang County has a more intuitive understanding of the true nature of subordinate officials...
After the appointment was over, Fang Yingwu looked at the date and found that today was the day to collect the petition. So he issued an order to release the license plate and start accepting lawsuits.
The local judiciary in the capital is also different from other places. In addition to the prefecture and county yamen, there are also patrol censors and five-city military departments. In addition, factory guards are often involved. Under multi-headed management, the boundaries are often blurred.
Yes, but after running for so many years, it has probably formed certain rules.
Criminal cases such as human life and theft are in charge of the City Patrol Censor. The Wucheng Military and Horse Division is under the jurisdiction of the City Patrol Censor and is responsible for night patrols. Sensitive cases involving national security and ideology, such as evil talk and treason cases, are under the jurisdiction of the City Patrol Censor.
Jinyiwei takes the lead; as for the weakest prefecture and county yamen, they are mainly responsible for private litigation, which is called civil cases in 21st century terms.
Let's not talk about it, but we said that it was the first time since Magistrate Fang took office that he was putting out cards and collecting the crown princes. It was very fresh and he sat in the lobby in high spirits.
The Zaoban yamen officer held the sign and walked around, bringing in twenty or thirty people who complained. They all knelt in the yard outside the lobby and waited.
There will be no trial today. The complainants will submit their petitions to Fang's parents one by one. If they can be accepted, the county magistrate will give an approval and officially enter the judicial process. The complainants will go back and wait for notification.
These twenty or thirty people went to the platform one by one according to the order of queuing, and those who did not get their turn had to kneel in the courtyard and wait for the summons. It was very hard.
Fang Yingwu was sitting deep in the lobby and saw the situation below. He waved his hand and told the officials on the left and right: "People outside don't need to kneel down. Just stand up and wait to be called."
The yamen servant bowed his head in response and went out to convey the kindness of his parents. Immediately, there was a small cheer from outside, shouting: "The great master is kind! I thank you!"
At least so far, Lord Fang Yingwu, the magistrate of Wanping County, is in a good mood... But as the first few petitions were presented, Lord Fang's good mood plummeted.
In fact, these lawsuits are very simple, and the case details are not complicated. They are just a few property and assault lawsuits, such as a store being forcibly purchased, a field being seized, and a family member being severely injured.
But the defendants were a bit unusual. There were two eunuchs, one from a marquis's family, one from an earl's family, and one from a relative's family... Fang Yingwu looked at his toothache. Is this a civil lawsuit?
After seeing a few petitions, they were all like this. Mr. Fang was puzzled. Could it be that the magistrate of Jingxian County received such petitions every day? Can he still live in that life? He couldn't help but ask the prison clerk in charge of the secretary next to him.
: "How were the previous magistrates appointed?"
The clerk replied: "According to the usual practice, most of them are pushed to the Shuntian Prefecture or the Criminal Department. After all, those are second- and third-grade yamen, much higher than the county yamen. They don't care about the county and don't ask."
Fang Yingwu looked at the petition again, thought about it for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "That's right! I'll accept it!" The officials and government officials in the hall were all shocked. This county magistrate is really a person!
Exiting the lobby, Fang Yingwu returned to the second hall, where Lou Tianhua, Wang Ying, Fang Yingshi and others were all here. Originally, Fang Yingwu wanted to ask Lou Tianhua to go to the lobby with him for consultation, but Lou Tianhua said this
If you don't follow the rules, you won't follow. According to the convention, the curtain seats can only be the people behind the scenes and cannot go to the front stage.
Fang Yingwu told Lou Tianhua what happened today, and Lou Tianhua wondered: "Why are there so many people complaining? It shouldn't be like this..."
Suddenly, he suddenly realized something. He patted his forehead and said, "It must have been spread that the proprietor was fighting against the west factory, and some people came here with luck and hope that the proprietor would make the decision for them!"
Fang Yingwu was astonished. It turned out that this was the problem! Leader Zhang Gui had gone too far in advocating that he had gone too far. When the news spread, the people thought that he was a person who was not afraid of the powerful, so they gathered together to complain today, and they all
It is to sue the powerful people from all sides.
Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu shook his head and sighed: "Since ancient times, people have been longing for a blue sky..."
Lou Tianhua advised: "The proprietor should not accept these petitions. Xiao Guicao can just pass them on to the government. Why bother to cause trouble?"
Fang Yingwu glanced at Lou Tianhua and said calmly: "If you do this, it will be extremely vulgar, but how will the world view me? Then my struggle so far will be meaningless."
Lou Tianhua asked inexplicably: "What is meaningless? I don't understand. Whether you are a human being or an official, shouldn't you seek advantages and avoid disadvantages?"
Fang Yingwu replied: "You must understand, you are the magistrate of Wanping County! No wonder you can't study well!"
