Chapter 524 Young people are responsible for speaking!
Before leaving, the old guard thought of something, took out a few pieces of paper, and said to his subordinates: "Seal all the doors in this courtyard! Seal the goods as well!"
Afterwards, Dai Gong, Li You, and Han Zong were escorted out of the door and headed west towards the direction of the Army and Horses Division. There were some idle people watching the excitement outside the door, and one of them was Mr. Li's domestic slave, and he winked at the master.
, indicating that someone has already reported the message.
In Nancheng's Military and Horse Department, the official Zhang Gongye was sitting in the public room, looking through the official documents in a leisurely manner, and waiting for the delivery of today's fat sheep. According to yesterday's list, there were about five "arrivals" today.
The general structure of the internal officials of the Five-City Military and Horse Department in the capital is as follows: each department has one commander of the sixth rank, four deputy commanders of the seventh rank, one official of no rank, and ten officials.
The division of labor among these officials is different. The commander of the Military and Horse Department is in charge of the department and is responsible for dealing with the patrol censor, the patrol battalion and other yamen; the deputy commander is divided into patrols of various workshops and directly suppresses the ground; some officials are responsible for the affairs of the yamen.
There are those who patrol each workshop like the deputy commander, depending on the situation.
Zhang Limu of the Nancheng Military and Horse Department has been in office for seven or eight years and has a special status in the government office. He has won the trust of three commanders and is able to sit in the government office to handle general affairs. His actual power is greater than that of the deputy commander.
The reason is simple. An old man like him is not only familiar with the ground in Nancheng, but also able to generate income for the Soldiers and Horses Division reliably and safely. Of course, his success is also due to Nancheng, a unique place where thousands of merchants gather.
In fact, when it comes to bloodline, Zhang Gongye is from the same clan as Chang'an Bo of the noble family, but he is just a side branch with little weight. Don't even think about benefits such as favor. This position of military and horse minister is also
It took a lot of effort to get it.
I think at the beginning, everyone else wanted to live and work in the inner city. The chaotic outer city was regarded as the southern suburbs. People with some respectability in the capital were reluctant to go there. But he was not picky and came to this southern city.
Ma Si. He worked for eight years.
It was he who invented the method of "handling cases" in conjunction with the propaganda branch, which greatly improved efficiency and accuracy; it was he who formulated the principles and policies for catching "suspects" and patiently instilled them in every officer; it was he who presided over the "
"Interrogation" and strive to be impeccable in procedure.
At least in his own opinion, it is indeed impeccable. Even if the lawsuit goes to the Jinluan Palace, he can defend himself. He has this confidence.
The emperor's feet must be stable. It is of course very important to arrest thieves through punishment. And the responsibility of the Propaganda Department is only to collect taxes and not responsible for punishment. If you find suspicious elements, you should always report them to the Military and Horse Department. This is correct;
After receiving the report, the Military and Horse Division should always send officers to screen, and this is correct; if it is indeed suspicious, the suspect should be brought back to the Yamen for interrogation, and this is correct;
The suspects are all out-of-towners. It is normal if they need to go out of town to verify their identities during interrogation. Then there is nothing wrong with the suspects being held in jail according to the rules during this period.
Finally, if the suspect really cannot live in prison for various reasons, and considering that no actual crime has been discovered, then the legal principle is nothing more than human kindness, then shouldn't it be okay to ask the suspect to pay a deposit and temporarily leave the prison?
Which of the above is not in line with the laws of the Ming Dynasty? It is through these precise measures one after another that Mr. Zhang, the official of the Nancheng Army and Horses Division, used the laws to build a very strong protection network for himself. Over the years, he can
It is said that everything is calm and safe. Of course, his bosses have also benefited a lot.
Whenever Mr. Zhang sees the cases of officials who were punished for embezzlement in the newspapers, he would feel contempt from the bottom of his heart. Those stupid officials were so unskilled in their work that they deserved to be punished.
Although Zhang Limu is still in the capital, the storms in the court and the turmoil in the officialdom are far, far away from him. He is in this small world in Nancheng, enjoying himself and spending one year and another smoothly.
One year, we welcome bosses one after another.
Probably because he is too outstanding, his position has never moved. If there is no accident, life seems to go on like this forever, until the day he is too old to move.
But it was said that Dai Gong and his two "buddies" were taken to the Nancheng Army and Horse Department, and then directly to the west courtyard.
At the gate of the courtyard, I met two officers escorting a silk shirt merchant out, and there was an official beside him. The official said as he walked: "That's the way it is. There is no other way. Just go and endure it for a few days."
"
"How can I have such skill? Please help me explain. I am indeed very innocent."
"It's not impossible to intercede for you, but to be honest, if you don't have money, it's just a waste of words."
"Easy to say! Easy to say!"
Li You heard the words clearly and glanced over there. Is this the "fat sheep" that was captured today? From just a few sentences, Mr. Li, who is experienced in the lower-level yamen, can guess some of the inside story.
Most likely, they would scare the "fat sheep" a few times inside, and then outside, officials would appear, pretending to be good people, and collect money on the pretext of helping to intercede.
If the matter is "done" in the end, then the "fat sheep" will still be grateful, and it will be regarded as "losing money and avoiding disaster", and will not continue to worry about it.
The division of labor is very clear. There are those who arrest people, there are those who are the chief judges who are bad-faithful, and there are those who are good-hearted and bad-faithful. Everyone in the yamen has a share and benefits. No wonder it has been running smoothly for so many years without overturning... Li You
I secretly thought that the three of them would encounter such a "kind-hearted" official when they came out of the hall.
Entering the side courtyard, the old guard who led the team entered the house first to report, and soon summoned Li You and others in. The room was not large, and Li You and the other three stood in the open space in the middle, feeling as if they were about to sweep the room away.
The empty space is filled.
Behind the public case in front, there sat a man who was nearly forty years old. He was wearing no official uniform, just a blue official robe. Judging from the service, Li You guessed that he was the official of the Nancheng Army and Horses Division. According to Chongwenmen
Ambassador Lu confessed that Nancheng Bingma Sili was indeed in charge of this matter by an official.
Sure enough, I heard the old guard standing next to him shout: "This is Mr. Zhang, an official of our Yamen, asking you a question!"
Dai Gong and others quickly bowed and saluted. This time Master Li followed suit and did not make eye contact with the official, so as not to reveal his identity again, he just lowered his head and looked at the floor.
Mr. Li has not been in office for a long time, and has met with the censors and commanders of the Army and Horse Department. However, the deputy commander and below have not seen him, so he and the official named Zhang in front of him are not acquainted with each other.
Zhang Limu only focused his attention on Dai Gong, because according to the information, this was the real owner. Over the years, he had become more proficient in this routine. He pretended to carefully examine the road guide presented by Dai Gong. In fact, it was just a formality. Regardless of
The result is the same no matter what.
It doesn't matter if you look at it casually, you can really see the problem. The road guide records that "two guys, one is taller than an ordinary person, has a dark complexion, a big face, and eyes like thin threads." Mr. Zhang looked up and looked at Li You,
The difference is a thousand miles.
The road guide also recorded that "a man is of medium height, slightly fat, ugly and wrinkled." Mr. Zhang looked up at Han Zong again, and it was even more nonsense.
According to the rules of the Nancheng Army and Horses Division, even if there is no problem, it should be treated as a problem, let alone a real problem...
Bang! Zhang Libu will take the picture on the case, "The road guide is inconsistent with the facts! I suspect that you forged the road guide and crossed the Guanjin privately! We need to conduct a strict investigation!"
Dai Gong hurriedly called out to Qu, "My lord, have you been careful? Xiao Luyin took the information from the county and everything he recorded is true. How can it be forged?"
"You still dare to quibble! The appearance of the two accomplices listed in your guide is completely inconsistent with the two people in front of you. What else can you say!"
This... Dai Gong was at a loss for words, his real work had been temporarily dismissed. These two idle and boring people around him were fakes in the first place. It would be damned if they could match the description on the road.
He had never thought of this before, forgetting that the road guide was not only his own road guide, but also briefly recorded his associates. He would not really be convicted of forging a road guide and be punished...
Li You also ignored this, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. Today's purpose was quite clear, and it didn't matter if he had any problems.
However, seeing Dai Gong being so anxious that he couldn't speak, Li Youzhen felt sad for his change in adaptability, so he personally said to Zhang Limu: "Returning to Mr. Dai, Mr. Dai's two previous guys left halfway, but Dai Gong
The master was in urgent need of manpower, so we were hired as assistants on the way to Beijing together, but Lu Yin still started the same Lu Yin. So there is an ulterior motive, so please be aware!"
"No matter how you quibble, it's illegal and chaotic! You change people in the middle, why don't you change the road guide locally? It's obvious that you are ignoring the system and not taking the government into account!"
This man is quite sharp with his words, and he is very skillful in putting on big hats... Li You opened his mouth to refute, but saw the official Zhang slapped the case again and shouted: "I won't waste time with you, even if what you say is the truth,
Then we have to go to Xujiang County for detailed verification! I will detain you for the time being and wait for verification information! Take these three people down with you!"
Li You said loudly: "What you are doing is unreasonable. I come and go to Xujiang County once for more than two months. Do we have to be imprisoned for several months for this trivial matter? Besides, for this trivial case, we have to
By sending people to the south of the Yangtze River, do you really think that all the manpower in your Army and Horse Division is so idle that you have nothing to do?"
Zhang Limu scolded: "Boy, shut up! It's not up to you to decide whether there is truth or not! It's not your responsibility to control how the manpower of our Army and Horse Division is used! The law is selfless and should be strictly enforced. You are a dirty talker."
What does a child know?"
Li You said indignantly, "What is the law of selflessness? I think you just use government weapons as a tool to make money. You dare to talk about this trick without shame. It's very funny!"
Zhang Limu secretly said that the officer was indeed right. This young man is indeed a rich kid who has never seen the world. He is very strange and ignorant, and his words are very childish.
So he sneered a few times and said: "Young man, you must speak responsibly! I won't argue with you, otherwise I will punish you for slandering the government! I have laws as the criterion. If you don't accept it, you can appeal to the Ministry of Punishment."
In Xicheng, we accept appeals from all cases in the capital! Empty words without evidence are of no use, so I’d better wait for you to come out of prison first!”
Several officers surrounded the three people, shouted loudly, and escorted the three people away.
