Chapter 43: The Wind Sweeps the Fallen Flowers (3)
Zhao Si was recognized in "Fengxianfang".
When he walked in, there were not many people inside. A prosecutor was taking notes on the middle-aged couple who had just turned around.
The prosecutorial censor is the lowest-level official in the procuratorial system of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He has the power to handle matters independently, but does not have the power to prosecute or impeach. In theory, he is just an assistant to the censor, and is responsible for specific handling of the case under the leadership of the censor. Therefore.
They are also called deputy censors.
Fortunately, Zhao Si happened to meet the prosecutor's censor who was taking notes, not the assistant prosecutor.
After passing the national examination, studying at Yumo Hall, and officially obtaining the status of Xie Lü Lang, you can work as a prosecutor or assistant prosecutor.
Assistant prosecutors are actually trainee prosecutors. After one year, as long as no major mistakes are made, they can be regularized. Now with the new official system reform, there are not so many qualified manpower. They all go to work directly after training, and the probationary period has also been temporarily shortened.
For three months.
Zhao seems to be aware of all these situations.
He stood there quietly listening to the middle-aged couple's story.
The situation is very simple, that is, his family originally had five or six acres of thin farmland, and several members of the family farmed and worked. During their free time, they went to Kaifeng City to do odd jobs and earn some copper coins, and their lives were quite comfortable.
Unexpectedly, my father fell ill the year before last and passed away after suffering for three to four months. He spent a lot of money on medical treatment and funeral, which completely depleted the family's savings.
At the end of the year, my son, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, contracted the disease again for some unknown reason. After more than a month of treatment, he still passed away. The family owed a huge debt.
Last year, spring plowing, buying seeds, repairing farm tools, hiring odd laborers and plowing oxen, required a large amount of money, which was impossible to come up with. But without this investment, spring plowing would not start, and the whole family would starve to death during the autumn harvest.
According to the Qingmiao Law, you can borrow it from the government. However, in the past few years, the Qingmiao Law was manipulated by some officials and turned into an evil method for amassing money, and its reputation has long been bad.
The couple would not dare to touch the Youth Law even to death. Wells Fargo did have a way to lend money, and they went to the countryside to promote it, but it was exaggerated by some people with ulterior motives, and it was completely out of shape.
So, under the introduction of a "kind-hearted acquaintance", the couple went to Wang Dahu in the village to borrow a sum of money.
When the money was not received, the Ya people first deducted a "hard work fee". When the autumn harvest came, they had to repay the money in full plus interest. After all, even if they sold all the grain, they could not afford it.
I had to pay back half first.
In the spring of this year, Wang Dahu took the IOU and said that the interest would be compounded. The money the couple owed had exceeded the value of the mortgaged land, and they wanted to take back the land.
The Yaren was the land security guard of the village. He helped the couple and signed the land transfer contract.
When I was done, I turned around and thought, this is not right. The land has been sold. What can the old family eat? They have to starve to death.
Go find the land security. The land security has benefited from it and doesn't care about you. I just say that it doesn't matter if you don't have land. Just go and be a tenant of Wang Dahu and continue to cultivate the previous fields.
The couple was desperate and heard someone say that they had been wronged and they could go to the county to file a complaint. When the couple came to the county government, they didn’t know where to go to file a complaint. They first went to the "Qinmin Hall" and cried a lot before being transferred.
Go here.
Seeing a man who looked like an official taking notes carefully, the couple felt that they had finally found a high-ranking official in Qingtian. They were full of grievances, just like the Jinshui River, flowing out turbulently.
The situation had just been recorded, and before the prosecutor and censor had time to deal with it, he met the magistrate, county magistrate, chief registrar at the county office, his immediate boss—the middle censor of the county censor's office, the four censors, and
The judges from Dali Temple in the court rushed in in a panic along with the chief registrar of Dali Temple.
"Wei Chen has met the official family."
"Oh, did you recognize me? Who recognized me?"
"It's Wei Chen," Zhong Yushi replied tremblingly, "Wei Chen was born as a secretary."
"That's it. It just so happens that today I encountered an incident. It's a very representative incident. We might as well get together and discuss this incident in front of me."
We borrowed the most spacious place in the county government office, the original court hall, which is now the courtroom of the court.
The frightened couple were placed aside.
The county magistrate, the county magistrate, the chief registrar, and the heads of the county government affairs bureaus were sitting nearby. They were not the protagonists in this incident. They were sitting aside mainly to listen.
The people from the Prosecutor's Office and the Judicial Office sat on both sides in order according to their official positions. Zhao Si was sitting and looking up, while two secretaries were taking notes.
Zhao Si pointed at Judge Liu Jian who had just recorded in the "Fengxian Room" and said: "You are the one receiving this event, and you are the host."
Then he casually pointed to a prosecutor named Shi and said, "You are the presiding officer."
"Okay," Zhao Si said to Judge Liu, "you start to state your case."
After Judge Liu finished stating the case, Zhao Si immediately asked: "This is very clear. As the presiding officer, what is your preliminary opinion?"
Judge Liu Jian said sternly: "First of all, the first clear matter in this case is that the local king is illegally lending money. According to the provisions of Shangshu Province's "Interim Order on Currency and Capital Financing and Circulation in the First Year of Tianqi", he will be prosecuted. Wang Dibao, the Yaman,
It is an illegal intermediary and will be prosecuted according to the relevant legal provisions of the "Commercial Code". In addition, Wang Dahu and Wang Dibao are suspected of colluding in fraud. According to the relevant provisions of the "Criminal Code", they should urge the county police station to investigate and handle the documents, and then
File a public prosecution."
"At the same time, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the "Shangshi Tongdian", after reporting to the county censor for approval, the county prosecutor's censor office has the right to declare that the mortgage loan contract between the couple and Wang Dahu is invalid. Xingwen County Government Branch and Yuwu Bureau
, the transfer procedures for Chen Qing’s land are invalid, and the land is still owned by the couple..."
After Judge Liu finished speaking, Zhao Si couldn't help but say hello.
"Good! It's well organized and accurate in quoting the law. It's worthy of being a judicial talent cultivated by Fengzhen College."
Zhao Si felt very pleased. Starting from the second half of the second year of Yuanfu, he secretly recruited talents, especially those who were good at law, with the help of Secretary Lang's vest, and then taught, guided and nurtured him, and instilled in him the laws that he did not understand.
Knowledge allowed these people to combine the current reality, digest the knowledge they imparted, and finally revise a preliminary legal system.
fo
Since Emperor Yuanfu ascended the throne in the third year of his reign, legal talents have been the focus of training. Fengzhen College has trained thousands of political and legal talents, and Yumo Academy has trained hundreds of political and legal elites.
Zhongmou has always been a key trial county, so the legal practitioners assigned here have been systematically trained. It is expected that they will practice here for one or two years, and then be assigned to other counties and counties to take on important roles.
"I am very satisfied with the work of the Procuratorate and the Censor's Office. The duty of the court is to conduct trials, so it is not their turn yet. Now it is time to talk about the Zhongmu Government Office. In fact, this matter can be avoided."
Zhao Si's words made the Zhongmu County magistrate, county magistrate and chief registrar sweat break out on their foreheads.
"Zhongmu County is close to the closed city. Wells Fargo Bank and Fufeng Bank have opened offices here. It is reported that many people go to these banks to borrow money to relieve their difficulties. Under such circumstances, how could they still be deceived by Wang Dibao?
Where are the people who borrowed money from the king’s big family at high interest rates?”
"The interest is as high as 60%. Even if half of the debt is repaid, the interest will still be calculated on the full amount. Delinquent debt! Black-hearted fraud!" Zhao Si cursed angrily.
Then he turned to the county magistrate and said, "Your name is Lin Zhe? You were a Jinshi during the Shaosheng reign?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I am a Jinshi in the third year of Shaosheng's reign." The magistrate replied tremblingly with sweat on his forehead.
Seeing his useless appearance, Zhao Si sighed deeply and felt very helpless.
The Ministry of Secretaries, and the subsequent Chengjun and other schools, have trained thousands of talents, but only a certain proportion of them are truly qualified and available.
It is still very difficult to change the way of thinking that has lasted for thousands of years.
There are too many places where people are needed, so Zhao Si, Changsun Moli and others can only fill the most important positions first. Therefore, magistrates in many places still retain many officials who have been retained, as long as they are willing to accept the "continuous learning and
Thought transformation".
"You have also read the books of sages and sages, and you often say that you should put the people first, be lenient to the people, and be considerate to the people. How to be lenient and considerate? I think you are confused and confused. Let the people know.
Good Dharma, no longer blinded by evil Dharma, is a kind of tolerance and compassion."
"Being a county magistrate now no longer requires you to sit in court and be the king of heaven. That is empty. To truly provide for the people and manage government is to deal with these complicated and inconspicuous things!"
"I will be taught a lesson!"
Looking at the group of people below, he was frightened and replied sincerely. Zhao seemed to know that not many of these people could really understand. For most of them, what they are today will be what they will be tomorrow, unless someone gives them a hard time.
He was whipped hard. What he had to do was to have people whip him around from time to time.
After leaving Zhongmu County and heading towards Kaifeng, Zhao Si thought about the gains from this field trip.
"Officials, someone from the Secretary Provincial Confidential Bureau is here."
"What's wrong?"
"Something big is happening in Hebei."
"Hebei?" Zhao Si's face became extremely solemn. This chapter has been completed!
