Liu Ji once asked Du Zhongxiao how to handle the Yongcheng case. Without thinking, Du Zhongxiao blurted out: strict, fast, heavy, widely grasp and sentence, kill less and flow more, grasp the big and let go of the small. Liu Ji heard this and laughed.

This is the inspiration that Du Zhongxiao got from the strike hard in his previous life, and when he was asked, he almost had a whole set of theories.

In this kind of case, selective law enforcement is the most avoidable, thinking that it is good to be scared after arresting a few people and punishing them severely. If you do this, it won't be long before you get back on the ground. The method of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots is to be single-minded, reckless of the consequences, and those involved in the case must be arrested. Plough the soil that gave rise to this kind of underworld, and start everything from scratch. Even if it will be difficult at first, it will be beneficial for the future.

After the large-scale arrest from Yongcheng, the manager joined the army, Zheng Peng, who took Cheng County Lieutenant and others to try it, Su Song took Gu Zhi County Procuratorate, Du Zhongxiao decided the case according to law, Liu Ji approved, and several people worked on the assembly line. Below the exile sentence, all of them are solved in the inspection village.

Seeing the three of them limping out of the inspection village with each other in their arms, Du Zhongxiao, who was standing in the courtyard basking in the sun, said to Su Song beside him: "Fortunately, it's winter now, and there is no work." Otherwise, in the past few days, I don't know how many people have been hit by the board, and the nearby farm work has been delayed. ”

Su Song sighed: "It's really an eye-opener these days, it's not this opportunity, where did I think there would be so many cases in the countryside." From robbing graves to stealing chickens and dogs, everyone can think of it. I heard from a few veteran officials that many officials could not try so many cases in their lifetime. ”

The large-scale arrest of people has enveloped the entire Yongcheng County in a tense air, and almost everyone is in danger. Even some honest farmers in the neighborhood were so frightened that they had fought with someone a few years ago and turned themselves in in fear. According to Du Zhongxiao's principle, as long as he comes to surrender, he will not let anyone go. Even if you hit it casually twice, you must also be disciplined.

Watching the three of them go out of the village, Du Zhongxiao said: "In fact, most of the cases handled in the past few days can be ignored. Many of them are neighborhood disputes, and people are alive, and this kind of thing is always inevitable. The reason why cases must be handled is to let the people here remember for a long time, and the law of the land is not put there to read. It seems that many ordinary people have been beaten, but it is actually a good thing for them. If something happens to the government, it is always better to find a big family to judge and decide for them in the countryside. There are too many big families to find, and one day another bully will come out. ”

Su Song nodded and did not speak. What Du Zhongxiao said is also true or not, it depends on the environment he is facing. It's just that Yongcheng has already started here, and now it can't be stopped.

While the two were standing and talking, Zheng Pengcong, the manager of the army, came out in a hurry and asked Du Zhongxiao: "Where is the general judgment?" ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Last night, I was sentenced to harm wine, and I didn't get up at this time. I don't know what happened to the manager? ”

"Chai Benshan has made a move, and sure enough, the Tao Seventeen case is related to him!" Zheng Peng let out a sigh. "This case is not only a murder for money, but also involves a nearby 'incense club'. This is strictly forbidden by the imperial court, and there are many party members, so it is no wonder that his case is so difficult to trivialize. ”

Du Zhongxiao and Su Song glanced at each other, and hurriedly said to Zheng Peng: "The manager is talking inside." ”

Several people went to the official hall together, and Zheng Peng talked about Chai Benshan's case in detail. Because of his official business, he has more contact with the nearby Jianghu figures, and he is a clever and exquisite character. Nearby state troops, as long as someone commits a crime, often come to him to seek refuge. Chai Shushu is just a low-level official of the state government, so he shouldn't have such ability. He was able to do this because he also had a secret religious identity.

Since the late Tang Dynasty, Chenzhou, which is adjacent to Bozhou, has been the center of secret religious activities, and there was a great upheaval during the Five Dynasties. This trend has not been eradicated, and many of the people at the bottom around are followers of these secret religions. Du Zhongxiao's hometown of Xuzhou actually has it, but he is a cultivator and heirloom, and he doesn't have much contact with these.

In this era, all kinds of religions are everywhere, which is not unusual, and Du Zhongxiao was the same in his previous life. History is always similar, how did Du Zhongxiao deal with various cults in his previous life, this era is also similar.

At this time, the secret religion of the north had roughly two systems. The first is Maitreyaism, centered on Hebei Road. The other is Manichaeism, or Mingjiao, also known as the Vegetable Eating Demon Sect. The Central Plains region, centered on Chenzhou, is the Manichaean system, which is organized into a collection of economic societies and incense associations.

Du Zhongxiao was influenced by the martial arts novels of his previous life, and when he talked about cults, he automatically made up the tightly organized church, the mysterious sect leader, and all kinds of strange things. In fact, this is not the case, most secret religions are actually mutual aid organizations of the common people, and they are just dressed up in the cloak of religion. Only by chance can it turn into large-scale unrest. There were two religious uprisings in the Song Dynasty, one was the Maitreya rebellion of Beizhou Wang Ze, and the other was the Manichaean rebellion of Fangla, which happened to be these two systems.

Tao Seventeen's case is actually not complicated, his father went back to the city to raise money, and somehow it was involved in the "incense meeting". Because the "incense society" has a tradition of mutual help among the congregation, Tao Seventeen's father joined the association and raised money for Ma Meng. It's just that it's good to die, and when I was at the party, I recognized Chai Benshan, who was attending the meeting and had a certain identity, and went up to say hello excitedly.

Chai Benshan was a state official, and it was illegal to participate in the "incense meeting", and he also colluded with the leaders of other states to plot rebellion. After Chai Benshan was recognized by Tao Seventeen's father, he had a weak heart and instigated Lu Yuhou to kill him, and later he also suppressed the case.

After listening to Manager Zheng's speech, Du Zhongxiao pondered for a while and said, "Manager is so solemn, is it because of the Chai Festival level incident involving rebellion?" ”

"Not bad! It's just the rest, if these sectarians want to rebel, can they still rebel? This is a big case, and we have to be cautious! Over the years, the Hebei and Jingdong Prefecture armies, from time to time, there are sectarians who use demon methods to deceive people's hearts, and we have to guard against it! ”

Du Zhongxiao nodded and did not speak. Where there are secret religions, rebellions have never been broken, especially Maitreya. The doctrine of Maitreya is that Maitreya came to the world and reopened the world, and there was even such a strange thing as the Mahayana celebration of killing people and becoming Buddhas.

Su Song was quite knowledgeable, and he heard that it was related to secret religions, so he asked Zheng Peng in detail to see his teachings.

Du Zhongxiao sat on the side, vaguely remembering that there seemed to be a religion-related turmoil in this era, but it was not here. According to his knowledge of the economic and incense societies in this area, he is not obsessed with rebellion, and there is no social basis for turmoil in these states. This kind of thing cannot be taken too seriously for no special reason. Don't talk about this era, in Du Zhongxiao's previous life, I don't know how many cults there were under the banner of rebellion, so everyone is not surprised.

Thinking about it, Du Zhongxiao asked Zheng Peng: "Manager, has Chai Benshan explained and colluded with the congregants in which places?" ”

Zheng Peng thought for a while and said: "According to his confession, most of them went to the northeast, Xuzhou and Qizhou. ”

Du Zhongxiao clapped his hands: "That area is different from us here, what prevails is not the 'incense meeting', but the incarnation of Maitreya. The people of Maitreya are good at illusion, demagoguery, and rebellion. Manager, you carefully interrogate the Chai Jie level, and let him recruit the characters who collude with him, and the states that are transferred to the text are. As for us, let us discuss it again and not make people panic. ”

Su Song nodded: "Yes, according to this chaijie-level confession, the mixed Mingjiao and Maitreya religion he believes in are entangled. We should be careful not to know about the thieves, nor to be too involved and harm the place. ”
