After deciding, Guo Kai had made up his mind, then sneered, angrily slapped the auspicious wood, and said, "No evidence, just relying on the words of a few so-called shop assistants and servants, I will say that they owe you money. Is this official?
It can also be said that if you owe me 500 taels of silver, how many people can I find to prove it? I dare to show off this nonsense in court. It's really hateful. If someone comes, beat this person out and then
If you dare to do this, you will be punished severely!”
With the order, the officers who had already scared out of cold sweat rushed up like wolves and tigers. At first they heard someone sue Jiang Qiang for "borrowing money". This is not a borrowing money, it is clearly a quarrel. The problem is that
Everyone has a share of the robbery. Not only are there any servants behind the scenes, but the robbery also has to give it to the boss, and the boss also has to give it to the boss's boss. Someone exposes everyone in the court. Is there any reason for this?
So someone lifted Wang Lu, and some even stepped forward and kicked him hard, driving him out.
Guo Kai then breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up and go back to the back yamen, but before he left his seat, the sound of injustice drums came out.
Guo Kai is already impatient, but there is a rule in the Ming Dynasty that ordinary lawsuits must first submit appeals and then arrange time for interrogation, but the people who beat the drum of the wrong are different, because the punishment for the drum of the wrong is not light.
Therefore, most people dare not knock, but some people grit their teeth to knock, which means that there is an unjust case on their body and they cannot be injured. If the government does not accept the case at this time, it will not only be a dereliction of duty, but also neglect their duties and ignore the people under their rule.
Guo Kai didn't want to care about such a thing at all, but now he has to accept it after hitting the drum of grievances. His face turned pale and he regretted it just now. He shouldn't just beat the person out. He should have severely punished it now.
There are endless people beating drums. Should Shuntian Mansion be maintained in order and decent?
"This time, who is going to sue, and who is the one who sued?"
Seeing that the prefect was impatient, a servant hurried out and asked about the situation. He hurriedly came to report, saying, "Sir, it is Jiang Kuai Lie who is suing him, and the person he told is Chang Liang."
Guo Kai was so angry that his beard couldn't help but tremble with his lips, and he said with a foam: "Jiang Qiang is dead, these people are here to sue. It is obvious that they have a plan. Come and bring it up. If this person doesn't say that he is ugly.
Mao, my official will not forgive him and will be on the right and left to go."
After a while, he asked Liang Chang to come in and fell to the ground, and then said miserably: "Master Qingtian wants to make the decision for the common people."
"Bold!" Guo Kai said angrily: "Don't talk sweetly here. Jiang Qiang, who you said that he was accused of is dead. When he was alive, you didn't come to sue, why did you die and just sue? Tell me quickly.
, Who asked you to sue? Who was instructed by you? You obviously have no grievances, but you dare to beat the drum of grievances. You are so bold. If you don’t tell me a reason, you will definitely make you look good today."
Guo Kai has no longer patience, or he vaguely feels that someone is enjoying him behind these people. If it were anyone, I am afraid that there will be no good face at this moment. Aren’t you going to have a pastime? Then just kill the chicken and scare the monkey
, let you see how many eyes Prince Ma has!
This made Liang Chang tremble in fear and said, "Stop being angry. Jiang Qiang was a servant of Shuntian Prefecture when he was alive. How dare the villain sue him? Besides, the villain was afraid that Jiang Qiang was because of Jiang Qiang before.
He is from Shuntian Prefecture, and all the adults are sheltering him, but the villain recently heard that in order to avenge others, he is not afraid of the country and relatives. He is the first-class master of Qingtian in the Ming Dynasty. After hearing this, the villain exclaimed
He had the courage to sue Jiang Qiang and asked the master to make the decision for the villain."
Guo Kai was stunned, and didn't know what to say for a moment. When he got such a high hat, people said that it was because you were the master of Qingtian who came to complain, but you suspected that they had ulterior motives and wanted to be punished. This was unreasonable no matter what.
, He had to suppress the anger in his heart and said, "Then why are you suing Jiang Qiang?"
Liang Chang said: "The little man opened a tea shop in Wuma Street. Only once, Jiang Qiang came to the little man to borrow money from the little man's shop. At that time, many of the little man's accounts had not been recovered, and he could not get any living money in his hand, so he politely refused.
Unexpectedly, as an official institution, Jiang Qiang actually brought a few thugs to smash the villain's shop. The villain was naturally angry at that time and wanted to argue with him, but he beat him up..." He rolled up his sleeves,
A knife mark was revealed and said, "Sir, this was what Jiang Qiang cut with a knife at that time. The villain was the one who was the one who was the one who did not dare to commit crimes, but he suffered this unrestrained disaster. Later, he even had business.
I didn't dare to do it, so I had to close the store. The family and the family had no livelihood. The villain's wife was about to give birth at that time. Because of this, she did not stabilize the child in her belly. Now her life is gone and her children are gone.
The whole family followed the northwest wind and the adults made the decision and decided to severely punish Jiang Qiang and let the Jiang family compensate the villain for the losses..."
Guo Kai's face became hesitant. He suddenly felt that the problem was a little serious. The other party was prepared and said it with eyes, unlike lying. His eyes flashed and fell on today's station.
The head of the class is quite familiar with Jiang Qiang. Who is Jiang Qiang? This head of the head should be clear about who Jiang Qiang is.
As a result, when he saw Guo Kai's gaze coming, he was so scared that he lowered his head, full of shame.
Guo Kai immediately understood that this matter should be true and it was true!
He had to stabilize Liang Chang first and said, "When did this happen?"
Liang Chang said: "It was a year ago."
Guo Kai hurriedly said: "Your matter is too long, so I will investigate it strictly, but it will take some time to investigate it strictly. This is not a place for you to mess around. If there is a result, if there is a real evidence, I will naturally inform you.
You, you should retreat quickly.”
Liang Chang said: "It is easy to investigate. Adults only need to summon the neighbors of the villain at that time, and they are willing to testify."
Guo Kai raised his face and said, "It's not so easy. Don't mess around, retreat quickly, and wait for your order at home at any time. After some time, my official will naturally summon you."
Chang Liang was already hesitant, but in the end he was free and easy and stepped out obediently.
Guo Kai learned his lesson this time and did not rush to get up. Sure enough, a drum of grievance sounded again after a while. Guo Kai's face had already been pulled down and he said, "Who is causing trouble again? It's so outrageous."
The officials in the hall looked at each other. If it was just a coincidence at the beginning, it seemed that this matter was not simple. Usually, there were few people coming to beat drums all year round, but today it was continuous, as if they had agreed.
, one after another, endless.
If you are a judge, you will not only be very annoying, but almost all the people who come to sue are prepared and can't make any mistakes. So many people sue a dead person, and this dead person is now a crucial person.
Guo Kai had to protect him, but you protected him for the first time and the second time. Someone came to sue him like a lantern. Can you remain indifferent?
You can't continue to review, otherwise you will not only worry about labor, but also have a very likely cause trouble.
Even if you think so, it will not be possible without judging. Officials must not take it lightly when dealing with people who beat drums and make injustice. If you ignore it, you will be criticized for neglecting your duties. Obviously, someone has done it outside this yamen.
After attacking him, the matter was broken by his name, the blue sky, and he established a archway. Now he has become a moral saint and has no way to go. There is no way, so let's continue to judge.
The complainants came to court, and the complainants were all Jiang Qiang, most of them borrowed money, either they beat people and smashed the shop, or they falsely accused them of hiding the party in the shop, and even some things were happening.
It was a bit shocking. After hearing this, Guo Kai couldn't help but feel a cold war. He never expected that Jiang Qiang was so bad and greedy.
In fact, he didn't know that the servants in the Ming Dynasty were either informal or had no wages. In this case, if they didn't scrape the land, they would have starved to death. Moreover, these people had long been used to this kind of thing.
In their eyes, doing this is easy and ordinary, otherwise how could the filial piety to Shangguan come from? Where did you usually eat and drink? From Emperor Taizu to the Jiajing Dynasty, which servant was not like this?
The servants are less courageous, and some are more unscrupulous. Just like wolves, wolves must eat meat. Wolves that do not eat meat are not called wolves, but dogs that eat shit. Since they are born wolf, no matter how they prey on and eat
The method is actually not important.
Of course Guo Kai knew about these things, but when he saw them, he would deliberately and selectively forget them. He was well aware of the rules here, so he naturally would not have thought that someone would sue the officers. Originally, he thought about the case perfectly.
, he also thought clearly about the behavior of Jiang Qiang, a servant. He originally thought there was no problem. In fact, it was not that Jiang Qiang had no problem, but that Jiang Qiang's so-called problem was not a problem in Guo Kai's eyes. It's not that he was scratching the ground.
For people like Jiang Qiang, they are like eating and drinking water. Do you think that people are also wrong with eating and drinking water?
The mistake is that these countless miserables have come up. Now that people are dead, these people have been instructed by anyone, and they have come to settle the accounts after autumn. The people behind the scenes are making good plans, and they clearly want to make Jiang Qiang famous.
If Jiang Qiang is stinky, then everyone can kill such violent officials. Instead, the person who kills him will not only not be criticized by public opinion, but will become a great hero in people's eyes.
Guo Qingtian is now in a difficult situation. As Qingtian, of course, he has to uphold justice for the people. But the problem is that there are too many "people" who demand justice. After a few hours, six or seven have been sent away, but the person has just left and he has made an injustice.
The drum sounded again, Guo Qingtian was so upset that he was exhausted, and he felt a little numb.
