31. Return the money
"A few words of scolding are nothing," Xue Pan knew that He Zhenping was only afraid that he would not be able to have a little peace yesterday, and he lived in the yamen and never went home to live, and he was probably afraid that the head of the family would be surrounded by a sea of people, and this time he was afraid that it was the hardest, after all, the rest of the people only took care of the errands, and handled their own affairs in accordance with the laws and regulations. Xue Pan also thought of He Zhenping very much, so he comforted, "Lord He is indeed hard, but only you can do this well, and this official is not successful, this young man is angry, he is impatient and people are so vain and wronged." ”
Everyone thinks in their hearts, you are indeed very angry, someone is making trouble in front of you, you want to catch all the people who have sinned against you on the ground of the entire Xicheng, although this outsider naturally thinks that Xue Pan is extremely reckless, but everyone sees that Xue Pan is handling everything well, and pulls up the two yamen of Shuntian Mansion and Zhan Shifu to help, at least this alliance is found, the pressure is not so great, Xue Pan also knows how to be the chief official, and tells the people underground, no matter what the problem, come to Xue Pan, Xue Pan is responsible for himself, In this way, there is no need to worry that you may be settled by the autumn queen, naturally everyone is brave to step forward, and will not be afraid, even Ma Ma is very happy at this time, "The adults have engaged in such a cannon battle when they first arrived!" Xia Guan has been in the Terracotta Division for so many years, and he has not killed like yesterday! Don't you know, Xiaguan surrounded the Huo Family Martial Arts Hall, and there was a Jiangyang thief who wanted to try Xiaguan's skills, Xiaguan got the orders of the adults, and there was still the strength to stop it, and immediately cut him off the horse, it was really happy, happy! ”
Xue Pan said with a smile, "Our soldiers and horses should arrest the thieves and maintain the peace of the place, and there is naturally no problem at all in killing the Jiangyang thieves!" Master Ma, you killed it well. ”
Although everyone felt that Xue Pan was acting a little recklessly, so that almost the entire local forces in Xicheng were quickly swept away, as if they had been reorganized with a plow, I don't know how many people's forces, although it was not said that they were uprooted, but their vitality was greatly injured, and they broke their hands and feet, which was inevitable, He Zhenping was a lot of anger yesterday, and he didn't dare to fire in front of those people, but when he came to Xue Pan, his own chief officials closed the door to discuss matters, and they couldn't help but be furious, "These people are really damned!" I don't know how many dirty things I did in this Xicheng, I didn't know before, I thought it was just extortion and blackmail, it was not a big deal, our soldiers and horses were difficult to manage, so we didn't have to care, but now I got the interrogation record of Zhu Weng's side, and I didn't know how many bad things these indiscriminate things I did, they were really damn things, and the adults arrested these people, and it was no longer wrong. ”
Duanmuyun presided over the preliminary trial of the thieves arrested by this raid, and he told Xue Pan about the main content, Xue Pan nodded, "If the evidence is conclusive, it will be handed over to Shuntianfu, how they will be judged, that is, they have decided, our record must be prepared, and we will keep it ourselves, if there is anything in Shuntianfu that bends the law and favoritism, we still have to ask them to deal with it fairly." ”
The big guys have no opinion on this, they have been in this Terracotta Division for a long time, and the big guys know that many people who commit adultery and commit heavy punishments are not worth asking for intercession to lower the criminal law, and the law of Dayue is quite harsh, unless it is to change the beheading to hanging, it is the same capital crime, but the death method is different, the felony mentioned by Xue Pan naturally does not need to be entangled too much, but it is handed over to the Shuntian Mansion, and the Terracotta Division does not have to care about the trial.
Then the second type and the third type of people, these two kinds of people, not a big crime, but piecemeal, molesting women from good families, extortion, gathering crowds to fight, and the same kind of violation of public order is rare, similar to Han Biaode is such a person, because these people have a good family background, and there are no major evils, they are all in these small things, and it is indeed worth turning a blind eye.
The third type of people and the second type are about the same interest, but they are not the children of wealthy families, but they have a close relationship with the people of wealthy families, in addition to the Huo Family Martial Arts Hall and Wuqing Bofu, there are also many sitting tigers in Xicheng who collect protection money, these people have the means, the family also has money, and they also know some martial arts.
These three kinds of people are not distinct, but they are mixed with each other, penetrate each other, and exist with each other. Of course, in addition to these three kinds of people, there are also many people who may have committed crimes for the first time, and they were also unlucky, and they were caught by Xue Pan.
"Those who commit crimes for the first time, pay the silver, and let them out immediately," Xue Pan instructed, "Reading that it is the first offense, and the crime is light, we have to catch big fish here, these small shrimps don't need to be ignored, they pay the guarantee silver, let them out." ”
"Of the eighteen people before, nine of them committed crimes again this time, some of them together with the thieves, and some of them also broke the law on the street, and they were all arrested," Governor Pei said, "I would like to ask my lord how to deal with it." ”
"This is very easy to deal with," Xue Pan commanded, "The deposit is naturally confiscated, and the rest of the people, first hit thirty boards to warm up, oh no, they are all good hands on the rivers and lakes, these thirty boards are not painful, but I am afraid that they will not be able to punish them, so I will hit them a hundred times first, let them all wake up, know what kind of place this is, know that the second entered the palace and entered our door, I am afraid that it is not so comfortable!" ”
Governor Pei hurriedly passed the word, and after a while, there seemed to be a sound of banging boards outside, at first the big guy still insisted that he was a hero, and he couldn't moan so as not to lose his identity, but these dozens of boards didn't stop, and he couldn't help but start screaming and begging for mercy.
This hundred boards are beaten down, but I am afraid that half a life is gone, everyone can't help but be a little chilled, Xue Pan smiled and counted the accounts, "These nine people, each paid a deposit of three hundred taels, and there are a total of two thousand seven white taels, this silver is what we earned for nothing, I wish that the eighteen people before were caught, and we don't have to return the money." ”
