Daming is not as good as later generations in this year, and when you are bored, you will go on the Internet, go shopping, and all kinds of fresh, fun and interesting places. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn the Ming Dynasty, it was quite difficult to find an interesting way to relax and entertain.

Therefore, generally those who want to do big things will invite a troupe to have a lively atmosphere. Anyone who does this can gather a large group of people to watch and watch, which is regarded as a rare form of entertainment.

In the same way, if you want to explain the abstract truth to the common people, almost no one can understand it, and you can express it on the stage in the form of opera, which is naturally easy to understand and completely understandable.

Soon, a song tells how taxes were levied on officials and gentry during the Song Dynasty, but the traitor Cai Jing obstructed and harmed the people, causing countless righteous indignation.

After Bao Zheng and Bao Qingtian's drama appeared, the audience remembered the eager cheers in an instant.

At this time, the men in Confucian shirts in the audience muttered.

Sheng Yongwei took Lu Weiying over, and when he heard it, his face suddenly turned green.

"Don't all think that the Song Dynasty in front of this court has this bag of life-saving bags Qingtian, if you want to say, our Ming Dynasty is also out of the Ming Dynasty and the virtuous ministers."

"Speaking of the recent tax reform, the imperial court really has a great conscience. This time it is necessary to adjust the burden of land and no longer let the poor people bear the heavy burden of servitude! ”

Scholars are still quite decent in the hearts of the people.

Listening to them talk about the most hotly discussed thing recently, they immediately asked. Naturally, there are also those who don't understand the adjustment of the burden of the field endowment and ask directly: "What does the adjustment of the burden of the field endowment mean?" ”

"That's ...... Seeing that the people were poor but collected too many taxes, and that the gentry were rich but levied the least taxes, it was really unreasonable, so he ordered: From now on, the regulations on not collecting taxes on the gentry should be exempted, and taxes should also be levied on the gentry. Everyone thinks, since the gentry collect taxes, the ordinary people will naturally collect less taxes. This matter of building bridges, paving roads, building schools, and opening hospitals can naturally be done more, right? ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately felt reasonable.

"Isn't this an example of the former Song Dynasty collecting taxes on the gentry? Looking through the history books, it belongs to the former Song Dynasty in the past dynasties, and the small people were rich. This is the benefit of the gentry in one garment, wow! ”

When the people heard this, they immediately thought of the tax collection that had caused a lot of trouble before.

Lu Weiying's eyes were about to pop out: "What are the identities of these people?" How dare you talk nonsense here! ”

"This colleague, it's not appropriate for you to say that I am talking nonsense. I am Wang Kefei, the Wanping Inspector of the State Taxation Department of Shuntianfu, and I am also famous for my talents, how can I be a person who can talk nonsense? As soon as the men who were talking energetically in the audience heard someone say bad things, they reacted immediately, and immediately refuted without mercy.

"Xiucai? I have never heard of you in Wanping County, you dare to deceive, is it really no one in Nanlu Village? Come on, take this person down for me! Lu Weiying sneered.

Many people in Nanlu Village knew Lu Weiying, and as soon as they heard that they were going to take people, a few people surrounded the name of Lu Fang's son.

At this time, Sheng Yongwei, who had not spoken, laughed mockingly: "In this world, only the students of Wanping County are called students?" This colleague from the Wanping Supervision Department of Shuntian Prefecture was transferred from the county school of Daxing County to Wanping to supervise the tax collection. They have both the right to interpret policies and the right to supervise the implementation of policies, and they can directly deliver the report to the desk of the Shuntian Mansion Yin, and not only that, but they can also send a copy to the front of the Shengshang's case. It's just a Wanping County, why can't you do it? ”

"People from Daxing County are here?" Lu Weiying suddenly realized something.

"So you're Lu Weiying?" Wang Kefei suddenly stared at Lu Weiying with interest.

Lu Weiying was a little furious by Wang Kefei's gaze: "How is it?" ”

"Oh...... But it didn't work. It's just that I originally heard that you participated in this internship at the district office, and you will be given priority to get extra points for this branch and next year. I didn't expect you to ...... Hmph......" As he spoke, Wang Kefei threw his gaze to the west.

On the small bridge connecting Shengjiazhuang and Nanlu Village, the black ground was full of people.

This is the villagers of Shengjiazhuang.

And now, these people are running over.

I only heard this sentence sounding in the crowd from time to time: Then Lu Weiying is at the entrance of Nanlu Village!

"There are also big officials from the county who can accept our grievances!"

"Sue, sue!"

……

At this time, Sheng Yongwei took out a report with countless handprints from his arms: "Your matter has already been reported." I still think it's seamless, ridiculous! Why did they arrest you? Just rely on you to change the policy of raising taxes only for the gentry and use it to force the people to pay grain. This is not only dereliction of duty, but also fraud! Now, if I go with me to the designated place to explain the issue of the regulations, I may have the opportunity to retake the imperial examination in the future. But if you resist obeying your orders, then you will be greeted by the end of the soldiers handed over to Dali Temple for prosecution! ”

Lu Weiying's face turned pale in vain.

He looked at the countless wooden coffins that were looking at him angrily, and had no doubt that if it weren't for dozens of officials guarding him left and right, he would be torn apart by the angry people of Shengjiazhuang in an instant.

It's just that these officials no longer obey their orders.

The purpose of their trip is to arrest Lu Weiying!

Wang Kefei shook his head at this time and said, "Why are you so troubled? This time, the imperial court has already given an order. In the future, students who have not been interned in the lowest county-level organs are no longer eligible to apply for the first-level imperial examination of the township examination. In other words, Xiucai who did not intern in the county government can no longer apply for the township examination and pass the examination. Originally, Lu Weiying was the first to participate in this internship, not only qualified to participate in next year's township test, but also expected to participate in the Shengshang chartered Enke next year. Moreover, the imperial court has already written in the newspaper that it will give priority to the admission of you. ”

"Beauty, why don't you ...... from a thief" Wang Kefei shook his head and said, looking quite excited again.

The absence of a competitor is naturally quite a happy thing.

Especially this Lu Weiying is still such a traitor, which is even more despised.

Lu Weiying looked at the eyes of pity or disdain, and collapsed: "You can't arrest me!" ”

Sheng Yongwei snorted lightly, and with a wave of his hand, two big men with five big and three thick movements rushed forward from all over the door, one left and one right, and stood up to the struggling Lu Weiying.

"I'm a lifter, you can't arrest me!" Lu Weiying roared and struggled.

"But from now on, you're no longer a lifter." Liang Yixin strode over at this time and stared at Lu Weiying indifferently: "Everything you did in Shengjiazhuang has been reported to the Shuntianfu Xuezheng, and now, Xuezheng has removed your fame and canceled all your status and treatment. Equally...... You're going to be famous. In order to clarify the canonical punishment, let the scholars of the world understand the law. This time, we will also send a copy of your case to the academic administration of all provinces in the world, and at the same time strictly enforce the law that candidates are not allowed to take the imperial examination without internships! ”

Lu Weiying seemed to have all the bones in his body removed, and his whole body was paralyzed.

At this moment, he understood why these students from Wanping County were willing to act as lackeys of the county government and go deep into the grassroots level of the most difficult frontline.

Because, this time, the imperial court transferred the lifeblood of all students: the imperial examination.

Without the imperial examination, the student lost the only promotion rank and became a ninth-rate figure during the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, Confucianism was compared to beggars.

If a talent does not participate in the internship, he will not be able to apply for the township examination.

If a person does not participate in the internship, he is destined to fail the Jinshi examination.

If you don't have the identity of a person, you are destined to be an official.

Without the identity of Jinshi, there will be no career theory.

Of course, Lu Weiying thought about it carefully and understood why these students did not resist internships. He himself was part of the internship. Although it is called an internship, the county government signs a labor contract with them for a period of one year, three taels of silver and one stone of rice per month. For the vast majority of poor talents, this treatment can already lead to a well-off life in an instant.

If it is evaluated at that time, this will still rise.

If you have money, you will naturally be active in doing things. Moreover, it seems that he can still be promoted, and he can eat imperial food when he is just a child. This undoubtedly changed the fate of these poor scholars.

What is reading for? If you are admitted to the examination, you can become an official, and if you become an official, you can change the fate of a lifetime of sorrow.

And now, as long as the children in the examination get the opportunity to eat the imperial food, isn't it more reliable than the distant and even very low probability of lifting people to Jinshi?

It's no wonder that Wang Kefei is doing a good job here.

Moreover, this time, the imperial court transferred people from Daxing County to Wanping County. It is foreseeable that there will definitely be students from Wanping County in Daxing County who have been transferred to the internship.

In fact, this kind of rotation in different places has solved the infiltration of people like Lu Weiying, who are inextricably linked with local big households, at the grassroots level, thus solving the problem of deterioration in the implementation of the policy.

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Weiying suddenly felt discouraged: "Lost...... It's planted, my Lu family is finished......"

In the afternoon of the same day, Lu Weiying explained all the problems in the second floor of the Hengxin Hotel.

How did he collude with the local county government, how did he privately divide the overcollected taxes, and how did he let Sheng Qinghe take the initiative to explain the things that deceived the people into their lives.

According to Lu Weiying's clues, Sheng Qinghe, Lu Fang, Liu Tong and Meng Mengyudan, who were blocked in the Qingqiu courtyard, were arrested by Xi Bin together with Chen Xian, who was already drunk and unconscious.

At this time, Zhu Cihong sent personnel from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to gather in Lugouqiao Town.

Among them, Dali Temple is the public prosecution organ, the Criminal Department is the police organ, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the judicial organ.

The three legal divisions held a grand public trial and sentencing ceremony in Lugouqiao Town.

The people of ten miles and eight towns gathered together.

Yu Shi Kexian, the superintendent of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, became the chief judge of the case, and the personnel of the Criminal Department handed over the case that had been sorted out by Xi Bin to the personnel of various divisions. In the end, Ning Yifei, the judge of Dali Temple, as the public prosecutor, read out the charges of Lu Weiying, Sheng Qinghe, Liu Tong, Lu Fang, Meng Yudan, Fei Ding and others at the public trial meeting:

"Defendant Lu Weiying, male, 26 years old, former lifter, education, from Nanlu Village, Lugouqiao Town, Wanping County, Shuntian Prefecture. The former county was stationed as a public official in the Lugouqiao Town Office. In the implementation of Cabinet No. 1 Order, he blatantly tampered with the original intent, concealed and supplemented the original Cabinet No. 1 Order's adjustment of the tax structure and the abolition of the tax exemption conditions for the gentry, and the joint defendants Lu Fang, Sheng Qinghe, Liu Tong, Meng Yudan, Fei Ding and others ...... defrauding the villagers of Shengjiazhuang in the form of misinterpreting the decree ......"

"The above facts are corroborated by witness testimony, appraisal conclusions, physical evidence, documentary evidence, and photographs. Defendants Lu Weiying, Sheng Qinghe, Liu Tong, Meng Yudan, and Fei Ding also made confessions and defenses. The facts of this case are clear, and the evidence is credible and sufficient. ”

"To sum up, the defendants Lu Weiying, Sheng Qinghe, Liu Tong, Meng Yudan and Fei Ding fraudulently obtained a total of 17 land deeds and 39 house deeds, worth 3,576 taels of silver. The above-mentioned acquaintances have violated the provisions of Article 382, Paragraph 1, Article 383, Paragraph 1, and Article 395, Paragraph 1 of the "Daming Law" of the newly revised Ming Dynasty in 276, constituting the crime of dereliction of duty and fraud. Sheng Qinghe played a major role in the joint crime and was the principal offender; Lu Weiying and Fei Ding are public officials, and there are aggravating circumstances. In order to maintain the legal order of the Ming Dynasty and severely punish serious crimes, in accordance with the provisions of Article 141 of the newly revised "Ming Law" in the 276th edition of the Ming Dynasty, we hereby prosecute and sentence according to law! ”

"Good!" Sheng Cai shouted violently.

"What a joy!"

"The cycle of heavenly principles, retribution is not happy!"

On the side, Sheng Yongwei, Wang Kefei, Liang Yixin and others applauded heavily.

On the stage, Ke Xian coughed lightly, picked up the exclamation mu in his hand and slapped it heavily: "Please also ask all the villagers to be quiet, quiet!" Now, as the presiding judge of this case, I would like to ask the defendant: Do you have anything else to defend? ”

Lu Weiying was wearing a cloak at the moment, his whole body was gone, and the arrogant man in the past was like a living dead, without saying a word.

On the other side, Lu Fang looked at his son, looked at the people in the stands, and said softly: "I only ask that this crime should be borne by one person, and don't implicate innocent people with wives and children......"

"I have nothing to say." Sheng Qinghe and Meng Yudan said almost in unison.

"If the defendant has no defense, the imperial history can announce the verdict!" Ke Xian nodded slowly to the scribe on the side, and it didn't take long for a verdict to be written.

Ke Xian stood up with the verdict that had not yet dried the ink.

On the field, almost everyone stood up and waited with bated breath.

Even Fei Ding, who had not said a word, was silent, looked at such an unfamiliar side and couldn't help but look forward to it: "Maybe...... What about some of my old friends who have given me some activities? Surely my family hasn't given up on myself......"

He didn't know that his home was in chaos at the moment. I don't know that the family property has been divided into several shares by several wives and concubines.

Finally, Ke Xian read out the verdict: "Defendants Lu Weiying, Sheng Qinghe, Meng Yudan, Fei Ding, Lu Fang, and Liu Tong ......" (to be continued.) )
