Wu Mingjin and Wang Zhaomin looked at each other. This matter really couldn't be "decided like this." Wang Zhaomin said at that moment: "Well, the investigators who handle the case have to draw fire cards. You are not Ming Dynasty people, and you have no fame and honor. You are on a mission...
…”
"Of course, this matter still depends on the county," Xiong Buyou said, "I can't wait to help."
Wang Zhaomin thought that the so-called "helping from the side" actually meant that the thief still wanted to have the power to handle this matter. It would be better if he could just leave this hot potato to the original owner. He also wanted to see, the Australians
What kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd?
Wu Mingjin coughed and refused to go back to rest for a while because he was not feeling well. Xiong Buyou knew that this was an official way of saying, "You just go ahead and do this, but it has nothing to do with me." For the following matters, just talk to Wang Zhaomin
That’s it. This is also a commonly used method in official circles.
Wang Zhaomin wanted to handle this matter, but he absolutely couldn't let the Australians do things like sitting in court on their own. The only way was to entrust an official from the county government to come forward. The Australians could direct it from behind.
"Come, please come, Mr. Sun." Wang Zhaomin ordered.
This job fell to Dian Shi without hesitation. Dian Shi was an official who only existed in the Ming Dynasty. He was derived from the county lieutenant since the Song and Yuan Dynasties. His responsibilities were mainly security work such as prison police.
Where there is no Inspection Department, he is also responsible for patrolling, suppressing and catching robbers. It is only natural that he should be given the responsibility to handle this matter.
The level of Dianshi is very low, and it cannot even reach the lowest level of official rank from the ninth rank. It is considered "unofficial". However, this unqualified person is still an "official", and as a rule, the court must remove the award.
Those who serve as historians are the most unsatisfied scholars, and most of them are selected from among the "supervisors". If a person fails to pass the Jinshi examination, he can still be "big selection" to become a county magistrate, county magistrate and other official positions.
, the supervisor can only be a lowly member of the bureau, teachings, lectures and classics. And the hope of promotion is very small.
Therefore, Sun Ruiwu, Sun Dianshi of this county, has become a typical official who cares about money. Unfortunately, the local area is too poor, and local forces and bandits are powerful, so his fortune as a Dianshi is really limited.
The arrival of the Australians brought fortune to Sun Ruiwu. Because of his low rank, he was often sent as a scapegoat to Wu Mingjin to do things for the Australians. Every time he did something, he would usually get a benefit. The various enjoyments in Dongmen Market made him
It was even more difficult to extricate himself. So Sun Dianshi fell deeper and deeper under the dual stimulation of financial bribes and enjoyment of life. Whenever the Australians took any action, he was always the first to show up and was extremely diligent in doing things. So much so that he was arrested in the county.
It is jokingly called "the classic history of Australia".
Sun Ruiwu himself didn't care at all. He "enjoyed life" in Dongmen City every day and got along well with Dugu's proposal. The two often "corrupted" together. The supervisor had long forgotten all about the sage's book he had spent.
, Throw the defense of Huayi out of the sky.
"No," Xiong Buyou unexpectedly objected uncharacteristically, "Master Wang, Sun Dianshi is of low rank. This is a case involving the wealthy gentry in this county. If there is not a comparable figure to preside over it, I'm afraid people will be uneasy."
"Then, what does Master Xiong mean?"
"It would be better to ask Wu County Cheng to come forward to host it, and Mr. Sun will co-organize it."
"It makes sense, it makes sense." Wang Zhaomin thought that this was somewhat reasonable. Anyway, as long as his own master didn't come forward, it didn't matter whether Sun Dianshi or Wu County Cheng was involved.
Immediately, he called for the two of them and took care of the matter. When Sun Dianshi heard that he wanted to handle the case for the Australians, he immediately agreed. Wu Ya, on the other hand, thought for a moment before saying: "Several leaders, this time the sword and arrow entered
The case itself was nothing to do with the household threatening the Jin gentry, it was just that the matter was difficult to handle..."
Wang Zhaomin coughed and said: Since you are talking about business, I won't disturb you anymore. He slipped out immediately.
"I have heard that the matter is difficult to handle," Xiong Buyou said, "but this matter is of great importance, and we still need to get to the bottom of it and give an explanation to the county."
"Yes, yes, since Chief Xiong said so, I will just follow it." Wu Ya knew that he had nothing to do with this matter, and that he and Dianshi were here to act as posters, "I wonder where Chief Zhou plans to work?
"
"Of course it's in the county government office, so let's use the second hall -"
"It's inappropriate," Wu Ya shook his head and said, "Chief Zhou has no fame in the Ming Dynasty. He is considered a commoner. If he uses the second hall without permission, it is a crime in itself. Besides -"
Furthermore, Wu Mingjin is a "hundred-mile waiter" after all, and he cannot be just a servant. In the past, going to court to try a case was also a very serious and important matter, so he could not be too casual.
"I think it's better to handle the case in the flower hall." Sun Dianshi said.
"I also have the same intention." Wu Ya nodded.
The Huating belongs to the inner yamen. However, all cases involving social customs or cases related to large gentry families in the county are usually heard in the Huating, and are not heard openly in the lobby and the second hall, in order to take care of the face of the parties concerned.
Because it belongs to the scope of the inner government and is not a place controlled by the imperial court, Zhou Dongtian can handle cases generously here.
"Okay," Xiong Buyou nodded, "Let's do it like this." He cupped his hands and said, "This case involves a wide range of things, and the matter must be kept secret. We will guard it at the county government gate in a while, so please don't disturb us."
"Guard defense?" Wu Ya and Sun Ruiwu didn't expect this move, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock. What is this going to do?
"No need to worry," Xiong Buyou said warmly, "This is a last resort, haha." With that, he made a phone call:
"let's start."
Dozens of security personnel stationed outside the county government office were immediately transferred into the government office to completely control all entrances and exits and key areas within the government office. People in the county government office were not allowed to enter or leave.
At this time, according to the call from Xiong Buyou, the three teams of the Army, which had been prepared for a long time, quickly arrived at the three city gates of Lingao County. They immediately took control of the city gates. They did not blatantly take over the city defense, but stationed themselves there.
In the Tibetan Soldier Cave behind the city gate, monitor Minzhuang.
The non-commissioned officers of each detachment have been recognizing faces for several weeks. Now they have memorized the faces of the subordinate officials in Lingao County and the "official" gangsters under them. The order Wu De gave them is
: These people are only allowed to enter the city and are not allowed to leave the city.
"If someone wants to leave the city, they will be detained directly and sent to the county government, do you understand?"
"Yes! Got it."
In the county government office, as key departments were controlled by others, the subordinate staff who were working in the county government office felt uneasy and came out to inquire and visit. Sun Ruiwu had to come out to appease everyone and asked them not to panic.
Zhou Dongtian asked someone to call the leader of the soap class.
Lin Changsan, the leader of the Zao class, is a tough man in his thirties, with a sharp face and a pair of small eyes that are very lively. His hands and arms are well muscled, and he is indeed an old Zao slave who is famous for executions.
When I arrived at the flower hall, I saw the ceremony. Lin Changsan saw two gentlemen from the county sitting in the flower hall. An Australian in his thirties or forties sat down at the lower position. His eyes were cold. At first glance, he looked like a very unhappy man.
An easy person to mess with.
Zhou Dongtian looked at the leader of the soap class and said, "Bring me the roster! Pass it to all the soap clerks in the class. I want to order Mao."
"Yes, yes," Lin Changsan hurried out and ordered. After a while, all the servants came.
Zhou Dongtian opened the roster and was surprised. It turned out that the roster was densely packed with fifty or sixty people on it, but there were only about twenty people standing below to wait for the tapping.
"Why, everyone is not here?" Zhou Dongtian asked.
"The master doesn't know something," Lin Changsan said cautiously, "The numbers on the roster are not counted. These are all nominal slaves."
Because working as a yamen servant enjoys the benefits of immunity and exemption from taxes, some people spend some money to put their names on the yamen servant roster, but in fact they never work in the yamen.
"...The one who has the amount of money under his name is the one who works as an errand."
Zhou Dongtian counted and found that there were twenty-four people receiving the money. After counting, they were all here.
"Everyone prepare a set of Zaoli clothes immediately and come out. Now!"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion, wondering what they were going to do. Lin Changsan looked at Sun Dianshi, and Sun Ruiwu waved his hand impatiently: "I told you to prepare quickly, why are you so long-winded!"
"Sir, my little one only wears this official uniform."
"Then take it off!" Sun Ruiwu scolded.
The servants had no choice but to comply, and soon they had all the clothes together.
This batch of clothes was immediately worn by the students in the political and security crash course they brought.
"Okay, everyone, please be smart! Put on your clothes." You Guotuan shouted.
You Guotuan is a staff member of the General Security Administration. This man was an unknown citizen in modern time and space. But in the 17th century, he became an advocate of the supremacy of violent methods. He has always advocated that only the most cruel and ruthless methods can be effective.
He was originally serving in the army, but later the General Administration of Political Security thought that this person would cause "bad tendencies" in the army, so he was simply transferred to this department.
Sure enough, when he arrived at the Political and Security Administration, he felt like a fish in water. He soon attracted the attention of his colleagues with his cruel remarks. Of course, he didn't have a chance to show off his cruel style for the time being.
"Okay, now you are the slaves of the county government. Follow the plan in advance and guard all the key points!"
In a matter of moments, Lingao County and Lingao County Government were completely controlled by the Cross-Travel Group.
The servants of Zaoban stood crowded together in the flower hall, looking uneasily at Zhou Dongtian who issued the strange order. Lin Changsan even looked frightened and fawning. He almost fell into submission. Zhou Dongtian was shocked.
I sneered secretly in my heart: "You want to use this kind of trick to deceive people and pretend that humans and animals are harmless? Unfortunately, I am not a noob who thinks he is full of bastard energy."
"Everyone," Zhou Dongtian said slowly, "you all have ancestral heritage that has been passed down for many generations. You are the best at torture. When you ask the case tomorrow, you will have a lot of trouble!"
