Chapter 1,208 The autumn air is getting colder, I hope to refresh my mind
Bang!
Zhu Ping'an opened his mouth, and a "double regulation" that spanned time and space came out, which perfectly complemented the official department. The cumbersome and time-consuming loopholes in the criminal department made Zhang Xiancheng and others spit out their blood.
Call Zhu Pingan a hooligan.
"Zhu Pingan, I will fight with you!"
Li Dianshi felt that his force was worth a lot. When he was being punished by Shuanggui, he tried to resist, trying to catch the thief before Zhu Ping'an. However, he only had a lot of fat and his own fighting ability was like a scumbag. He screamed loudly.
As soon as he jumped up, the vigilant Liu Dadao suppressed him easily and casually with one hand, just like beating a cub.
"Detain them! Find three empty rooms in the post house and control them separately. You take turns to monitor them closely. Before they explain the problem clearly, they are not allowed to step out of the door without my order! Nor are they allowed to do anything.
No one comes into contact with them! Their food, drink, toilet, and sleep are all done in their rooms!”
Zhu Ping'an ordered Zhang Xian Cheng, Chief Yao, and Li Dianshi to be detained on the spot in the post house.
"Zhu Pingan, you are abusing lynching!"
"Zhu Pingan, you are acting like a hooligan, you are taking advantage of loopholes..."
"Eunuch Qian, have you seen that Zhu Ping'an is lawless, crosses the official and criminal departments, and abuses lynching. You have to make the decision for us."
Zhang Xiancheng and three others were forcibly taken to Shuanggui Road. They struggled emotionally and shouted loudly.
However, it's of no use.
Their savior, Eunuch Qian, couldn't even protect himself. He was howling like a slaughtered pig and leaning against the board. How could he care about them? Besides, Eunuch Qian now also has resentment towards Zhang County Cheng and the others. In Eunuch Qian's opinion
, If it weren’t for Zhang County Cheng and the others, how could I have ended up in this situation!
"Old man Liu, I will keep this contract as documentary evidence for this case. This is your ancestral pearl, please keep it. These fifty taels of silver will be used as compensation for you to recuperate from your injuries."
After Zhu Pingan shuanggui Zhang Xiancheng and others, he returned the original pearl to Old Man Liu, and took out fifty taels of silver from Eunuch Qian's stolen goods and handed them to Old Man Liu as Eunuch Qian's father-in-law.
compensation.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Magistrate, and thank you, Mr. Qingtian."
The ancestral pearl was lost and recovered. Old man Liu burst into tears with excitement and kowtowed to Zhu Ping'an gratefully.
"Master Qingtian, the injuries on my body are all superficial injuries. I can just go back and recuperate for a few days. No compensation is required. No compensation is required."
Old Man Liu took the pearl, waved his hands repeatedly, and refused the fifty taels of silver compensation.
"Why don't you need to compensate? Uncle Liu, you were beaten so badly by them at your age. How can you not need to compensate for medical expenses, lost work expenses, nursing expenses, transportation expenses, food subsidies, nutrition expenses, rehabilitation expenses... Oh
, there is also mental damage fee, if you add it up, fifty taels of silver compensation is really not much."
Zhu Ping'an said with a smile and insisted on placing the compensation of fifty taels of silver in Old Man Liu's hands.
"Master Qingtian, no need, really no need, how can we use so much compensation." Old man Liu shook his head repeatedly.
"Old man Liu, if the county magistrate asks you to take it, just take it. There is no one who thinks there is too much money, really."
"The county magistrate feels sorry for our people. It's true that the sky is still alive. Old Liu, just accept it."
The onlookers persuaded.
"Thank you, Mr. Qingtian, thank you, Mr. Qingtian." Under the persuasion of the onlookers and Zhu Ping'an's insistence, Old Man Liu accepted fifty taels of silver compensation and kowtowed excitedly to express his gratitude.
Similarly, Zhu Pingan took another fifty taels of silver from Eunuch Qian's stolen money as compensation and gave it to the whipped Liu Dianli. Liu Dianli refused for a long time, and only accepted it at Zhu Pingan's insistence.
That's all my money... Next to me, Eunuch Qian, who was beaten, shed more tears.
Next, Zhu Pingan took pen, ink, paper and inkstone and wrote a letter to Eunuch Chen Hong and Chen who was far away in Suzhou:
Mr. Chen’s personal statement: I have discovered a villain in Jingnan who pretended to be Mr. Chen’s adopted son. In the name of Mr. Chen, he deceived others and deceived others. He defrauded thousands of silver coins and antiques, calligraphy and paintings. He fled to Jingnan.
They violated the rules and forced them to stay in the Jingnan Post House, smashed the gate of the post house, and whipped the county officials of the post house; they took one tael of silver from Liu Qi's ancestral pearls worth a thousand taels of silver; they sent people to break into the Jingnan County government office and disrupt the court.
...
When I was living in the capital, I had heard for a long time that Mr. Chen was law-abiding, never committed a crime, and strictly disciplined his subordinates. If he were Mr. Chen's righteous son, he must be as upright and honest as Mr. Chen, and he would be loyal to his errands. How could he be indulged in doing errands and be diligent in cheating everywhere?
He used his power to deceive others and rob others by force. Therefore, I concluded that this villain was pretending to be Chen Gong's righteous son. In addition to compensating the victim, I confiscated the stolen goods in accordance with the law. Among the stolen goods, there was Taicang official silver.
One thousand taels and an altar of pearls, please deliver it to Mr. Chen. Because this criminal is ruining your reputation everywhere, he is really abominable and can be killed! He is specially escorted to Mr. Chen’s office and please punish him severely!
The autumn air is getting colder, I hope to nourish my mind.
--------In the autumn of the 31st year of Jiajing, Zhu Ping'an, magistrate of Jingnan County.
After finishing writing, Zhu Ping'an stamped the Jingnan County government seal and handed it to Liu Dadao, asking him to bring the letter, one thousand taels of Taicang official silver, and an altar of pearls to be put together after the execution of Eunuch Qian and his followers.
Escorted to Mr. Chen Hong’s office in Suzhou.
The reason why Zhu Ping'an handed over one thousand taels of Taicang official silver and a jar of pearls to Chen Hong was because he did not want to cause trouble.
Zhu Ping'an knew the identity of Eunuch Qian in his heart, and also knew that Emperor Jiajing ordered people to buy gold, treasures and pearls.
The one thousand taels of Taicang official silver and a jar of pearls that were part of Eunuch Qian's gift were obviously public funds and official duties. If he withheld these himself, Chen Hong's business of buying gold treasures and pearls would definitely be greatly affected, and he would definitely not
He would let it go and have an excuse to attack. However, now that he had the evidence of Eunuch Qian's crime and caught him, he also sent Taicang official silver and pearls to Chen Hong, plus his letter, even if
Chen Hong was unwilling to give in. He could only grit his teeth and swallow the anger. Because he had no reason at all. If he made a fuss, it would only embarrass himself.
As for the 8,600 taels of silver notes, 1,580 taels of horseshoe silver ingots, scattered silver, house deeds, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc. that Eunuch Qian had worked hard to collect through bribes, Zhu Pingan accepted them all with a smile. They were limited to the county government.
Finance and the process of reporting merits and rewards to the government are cumbersome and take a long time. Zhu Ping'an is worried about a shortage of funds. The stolen money from Eunuch Qian can be used to distribute bounties to young and strong people.
After a while, Eunuch Qian and others finished beating the boards, and Zhu Pingan ordered the doctor to give them a brief treatment to prevent their wounds from becoming inflamed and causing them to die on the way. Of course, they would not be given more treatment, after all, they deserved it.
Afterwards, Liu Dadao took ten government officials, rented several carriages, and escorted Eunuch Qian and others all the way to Suzhou while they were still in the carriage.
