Chapter 61 The Case of Confused Confused Officials
When the young eunuch arrived at the case that day, the eldest man was drinking with his friends. The eldest man's hobbies were not very wide, he just drank some wine, played with women and so on. As for gambling, he was not very involved in it. He didn't like those things.
It takes a lot of brainpower and time. You lose, he wins, he wins, you lose. Playing the money exchange game is too boring. He is not very interested in money and things, so drinking and visiting prostitutes is more direct and enjoyable, just drinking and having sex! This
Don’t you understand any sense?
The elder is an upright official. Since he took office, he has not embezzled a single tael of money from the government, nor has he collected an extra tael of tax from the local government. The common people neither support him nor oppose him, and the superior departments neither promote him nor impeach him.
His official position was demoted, and he stayed in this position for several years.
Robbery, expropriation, corruption and abuse of law are what fools do. He has many ways to make money. He can no longer reach out to his hometown. In order for him to obtain fame that year, his father and mother had almost nothing to lose.
A huge amount of money was spent to find him the official position of county magistrate. I don't know whether it was because he didn't have enough money or because he was incompetent, but he was eventually assigned to this small and remote county.
The first thing he did after taking office was to get money to repay the loan (his parents still owed a lot of debt). What he did was to give full play to his hobbies and work hard on drinking and sex. Since Mr. Du Kang
After the invention of Shuiyou, countless heroes, heroes, benevolent and wise men fell in love with the word "wine", and some even wrote poems and lyrics about wine, praising its virtues and praising the many benefits of wine. His father made his fortune from wine, and he
The family's ancestral secret recipe is now in his possession. The eldest man opened a tavern first and then a hotel. He hired beauties from among the people and replaced the younger brothers with younger sisters. There was a restaurant on the left and a brothel on the right. There were many others in the county who followed suit.
, in an instant, a street market integrating catering and entertainment came into being. Every inn had a red light hanging high, with a big word "wine" written on it, and next to it was Goulan Courtyard, with the words "xx Flower Hotel" written on it. There are
The smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. Merchants from far and near, idle young men, dignitaries traveling on official trips, all came in droves, and the small county town suddenly became a famous tourist attraction. The big boss did not need to show up in person to make money.
After filling his own pockets and revitalizing the local economy, why not leave his name in history and remain famous forever? However, the top leaders are all idiots, and the people do not sell his favors. The poor laugh, and the prostitutes laugh. The old man feels angry every day.
I had no choice but to drown my sorrows in wine.
The next day when the old man sobered up, he remembered that he had captured an eunuch and sent him to the Yamen yesterday. First of all, he had a sense of sympathy for those who were eunuchs. He compared his heart to his own heart. The human heart is made of flesh.
What would you think?
The elder took the young eunuch to the back hall. He wanted to meet the eunuch privately and inquire about the romantic affairs in the court.
The little eunuch arrived in the hall in disgrace. The eldest man gave him a seat and asked someone to take his shackles. After retreating, the eldest man said kindly:
"Brother eunuch, you have suffered."
The little eunuch smiled bitterly and said, "Why bother?"
"I don't understand something, can I ask my brother for advice?" the county magistrate said.
The young eunuch was a little surprised. This eldest man was also a father-in-law. He was not a bit arrogant. He was also very kind to his prisoner. He treated him like a brother, which was quite a bit humane. If he could get out alive this time, he would repay the favor.
.Just say:
"Sir, please tell me if you have something to say."
"If you don't serve as a good father-in-law in the court, why would you run away?" asked the elder.
The young eunuch wanted to tell the truth, but he didn't know the person's details and couldn't tell him clearly, so he had to say perfunctorily:
"The eldest sir doesn't know something. I didn't run away, but the emperor gave me leave and asked me to go on patrol incognito to observe the public sentiment. I think the eldest sir also knows something about my position in the court."
"I know, I know, you have been a border commander, and now you are in charge of the Ministry of War. I know this very well. Then let me ask you, since the emperor sent you out, why did he put you under investigation?" The county official is still well informed.
"This has nothing to do with the emperor. Someone has falsely conveyed the imperial edict and framed me. If you don't believe me, please go to my carriage and look for my official document, which has the imperial seal on it."
"In that case, it would be disrespectful," the eldest master said, stood up, knelt down in front of the young eunuch, and kept talking, "Your Majesty, please accept my humble duty and bow to me!"
This was truly an earth-shaking change. The prisoner became a guest in an instant! The little eunuch was overjoyed, and his hanging heart finally dropped. He couldn't fall asleep last night, wondering how many more hours he could keep his head.
, Unexpectedly, the noble man had God's blessing and met this life-saving straw. He hurriedly helped the elder and said:
"Your Majesty, you don't need to be so polite. This kid is in trouble. If he gets help, he will never forget it in the future."
The elder was overjoyed when he heard this. He changed his tone and said, "I know this. In the court, it is common for people to fight against each other and fight against each other. Anyway, from now on, I will be yours."
By the way, your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, what official title can you get for me in the future according to your authority?"
The young eunuch couldn't help but frown, thinking that this gentleman is a powerful villain who clings to powerful people and is greedy for profit! However, at this time, he couldn't be more serious. He wanted to escape first, so he said:
"If you are small, you are a minister; if you are big, you are a minister."
The old man was about to kneel down and kowtow again, but was stopped by the young eunuch. The county magistrate said in fear:
"I, Hu, am truly lucky to meet this noble man today. Why don't you and I become sworn sworn friends?"
When the young eunuch was employing people, he wished that such a fool could be his helper, so he happily said:
"It's the best."
The two of them were of no different age. The county magistrate regarded the young eunuch as his eldest brother and he as his younger brother. They burned incense and kowtowed, which was regarded as a good marriage. Then he sent someone to bathe and change clothes for the young eunuch and arrange a banquet.
In the lobby, Hu Zhi County concluded the case. The victim Pan and the man were brought to the court. Before Pan could complain, Hu Zhi County ordered the yamen servants to hit a hundred big boards each. Pan and his wife did not know what was going on and thought that the old man was going to do something for them.
As a reward, I was beaten to pieces as soon as I entered the door, and I fainted several times.
The magistrate of Hu County did not ask any questions about the case and directly pronounced the verdict: Pan and her step-husband took advantage of the money and set fire to the house, killing one person. According to the law, he should be executed, so he sentenced the man to be beaten to death with a stick. Pan was late, and the eunuch Pan Youan handled the case separately.
