Mother Zhang was full of excitement, and suddenly felt that the silver in her hand had become extremely hot, and she seemed to be unable to hold it for a moment in her hand-

It turned out that this Dong Qianhu had such an idea, it was really insidious. I really should have thought of it, how could this silver be so easy to take?

"What, don't want to?" Dong Ce saw her hesitation, and raised his eyebrows.

Mother Zhang thought for a long time, as if she had made up her mind, holding the bag of silver in both hands, and said: "Master Dong, the slave family is so open to do business, and the small family really doesn't dare to deceive the government, and I can't afford this money, please take it back!" ”

The expression on her face became more and more sad, and tears were about to fall.

She thought about it for a long time, whether to offend the Dong Qianhu in front of her, or to offend the county lord, it was really embarrassing. However, the county lord is in charge, and it is just a matter of one sentence to clean himself up, and it seems that it is even more difficult to offend. And this Dong Qianhu, his hand may not be able to stretch so long, and the consequences of offending him will be at least lighter.

And she also has a thought: this Dong Qianhu is willing to pay money, it seems that he is a reasonable person, he is a gentleman, the so-called gentleman can be bullied, but this kind of person is easy to bully. Thinking that he is a child of a family, he is high-minded, and his posture is lower, and he may not be embarrassed.

She couldn't hide this little bit of her mind from Dong Ce.

"If you don't want to go, the official is not reluctant, you + one + book + read + novel + also accept this silver. As the official said, I am a reasonable person. It's just ......" A smile appeared at the corner of Dong Ce's mouth, and his hands were held together and released: "It's just that if there is any bloody disaster in your family tonight, it has nothing to do with this official." ”

"Oh, you look at me so young, you must think I'm a noble kid, right? Definitely, none! Half a year ago, the official was still a meager military household, and the 1,000 households of the official were killed with a knife and a shot. It was stepping on the heads of slaves, traitors, and bandits, and came up step by step. ”

The smile on Dong Ce's face did not decrease, but the words in his mouth were as cold as ice: "The last thing that this official is afraid of is to kill people!" ”

Mother Zhang's plump and moving body trembled violently, her heart was cold, and she looked at Dong Ce blankly, the murderous aura that suddenly erupted made her understand that this young man was really not joking.

If you don't do what he says, I'm afraid that these people in your yard won't survive tonight.

She never expected that this young man, who looked gentle and elegant, and showed his white teeth when he smiled, acted so forcefully and unscrupulously.

"It seems that this is the one who really can't afford to offend! Offending the county is just embarrassing, offending him, but it's fatal! She groaned inwardly. Dong Ce's power and domineering approach made her unable to raise the slightest spirit of resistance, and such a domineering masculinity made her tremble in her heart.

"My good lord, the slave family is just as you say." There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and her watery eyes looked at Dong Ce, but she flew a wink at him.

This time, it was Dong Ce's turn to be stunned.

……

Dong Ce stationed in front of the archway in front of the Yanghe County Ya, he raised his head slightly, this stone archway is about three zhang high, two zhang wide, all are built by big bluestone, it is very magnificent. On the top of the archway, there is also a plaque hanging, on which are written the three big characters of 'Zhonglian Fang'. The stone archway is already very old, the stone color is a little dull, it can be seen that it has been some years, and it has been beaten by wind and rain, leaving traces of damage. The plaque on it is brand new, and it is clear that it has not been long since it was put up.

His gaze moved back, and at the entrance of the yamen, two strong squad members with their hands pressed on their waist knives swept over, and the two strong squad officials felt his gaze, glanced at him, and quickly lowered their heads.

The county office is in the southeast corner of Yanghe County, which is a remote place in Yanghe County, and there are not many residential areas around, let alone commercial areas. How could an idler be willing to hang out at the gate of the county government? Therefore, it is also very deserted, and there are few pedestrians.

Generally speaking, as the highest authority in this region, the county government should be on the central axis of the county, and the most appropriate place is the intersection of the two main streets. But the situation of Yanghe County is a bit special, there is not only Yanghe County, but also the Xuanda Governor's Mansion, there is Yanghe Bingbeidao, Yanghe County is really not a fart compared to these two gods. Therefore, it is a matter of course to give up a good position.

Dong Ce and his entourage have reached the time to have two teas.

Dong Ce will definitely save Dong Zhongkang and Dong Zhongyong, although they did kill someone.

What about killing? He's my man, let alone killing one, even killing a few more, it's nothing. Even if you want to punish him, then I will punish him, and it is not your turn to point fingers!

In this era, this is the most normal thinking for the bureaucrats of this era. Since Dong Ce is here, he naturally has to act like this. If he watched Dong Zhongkang and the others die in prison, then the blow to his prestige would be very huge.

can't even maintain his own subordinates, what else should he be?

In short, it is just one sentence: admit relatives but not reason.

Dong Ce will give Zhang's mother some silver as compensation, but he will also force her to perjury, in fact, this is good for both parties.

Liu San was naturally inconvenient to show up, and besides, he had done enough today, so he took his leave. Dong Ce took people to the gate of the county government and voted for his name, but he didn't say what to do, only said that he wanted to see the county lord.

Someone has already gone in to spread the word, but they haven't come out for a long time. If Dong Ce went to the mansion of an adult, then naturally there would be a doorman to welcome him in and drink tea and eat some snacks in the gatehouse, and he would not be left outside to blow the wind. And this is the county government, so there is no such treatment.

Those Zhuangban officials who were standing guard inside were all looking out, and they all knew about the county lord's torture of those two family members, and now the masters of those two people came to the door! I heard that this is not easy to mess with, half a year ago he was still a small soldier, first killed Jiannu, and then punished the rebel thief, and now he is already a thousand households, and he wants to mention Yang and Wei to command the matter! This is a real military feat, a character who crawled out of the pile of dead people.

I'm afraid it's not so easy to be good, everyone has a good show.

It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was already setting in the west, hanging miserably in the sky, and the temperature was low again.

Dong Ce's visit this time can be regarded as a lawsuit, a visit to friends, or a visit in the officialdom, depending on what the county lord wants to count it as. If it is the former, it is a matter of official business, and he will be promoted to the court to try the case, but Dong Ce is a military member first, and secondly, he is an official of a thousand households, and he is not subject to his constraints of a district and county, so he can only judge others, Dong Ce watched from the side.

Even if he doesn't want to see Dong Ce, today is the third day of December, if Dong Ce is strong, then he will definitely be able to see it.

The name of the criminal and the money valley is the most important matter in the county, and the county officials who accept the people's lawsuits are called "notices", and the days when they accept lawsuits are called "notices day", which is held once every three or five days. Generally, it is released on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.

There is a saying in the "New Official Track Style": "Those who notify the public to file a complaint are allowed to submit the complaint on the 369th day of each month." "Jiang Tingbi's "Pushan Jiang Gongzheng Xun Qing Words": "Where 369 days have received ...... pleadings" Wu Zun's "Chu Shilu Strict Notice": "Put the notice and open the notice, or three, six or nine, every time the notice is released, enter one by one." ”

Of course, this is not always the case, there are also announcements made every five days, and there are even "places where the people are simple and simple", which is only announced twice on the second and sixteenth days of each month. In the busy farming season, in order to avoid farming, it is necessary to stop litigation for a few months. For example, when the farming season is busy from April to July, other cases will not be accepted, except for major cases such as human life and robbers. However, for big counties like Yanghe, it must have been announced on March 69.

On the day of the notice, after the county official was promoted, a "notice board" was issued, and the plaintiff held the paper and handed it to the county government in turn. After the paper is progressed, the official who undertakes the registration is taken. For the sake of prudence after receiving the complaint, the county magistrate often does not hear it immediately, but reads it carefully after leaving the court, and then returns to the court the next day. If the petition is not approved, it will be returned, and the quasi-petition will be re-summoned to the plaintiff, the defendant, and the witness for detailed trial.

(Note: Ling Mengchu's "Shooting Surprise" Volume 10 "Han Xiucai's Marriage Book of Hiring His Wife Wu Taishou Piancai" said: "Before arriving at the mansion, it was the time when the new Taishou Wu Gongbi was promoted to the court. Not overtime, he brought out the billboard, and Cheng Chaofeng went in with the card. "New Official Track Style": "Undertake the issuance of officials, set up management of official documents and pleadings. Jiang Tingbi's "Pushan Jiang Gongzhengxun Qing Words": "All word lawsuits, shilling Chengfa Branch registration. Wu Zun's "Chu Shi Lu Trial Pleadings": "The court is redundant and the days are limited. All the forms received are withdrawn and carefully reviewed. "New Official Track Style": "Regardless of whether the situation is reasonable or unreasonable, it will be taken by everyone." The provincial decree that all those who complain will come to the court tomorrow for trial. That night, the pleadings will be read one by one, and those who can be accepted will be marked with a red pen at the place where they go close, and only at the place where the red pen will be heard the next day. If they are unreasonable, they will tear them up and drive them out. ”）

Speaking of which, this is the first time Dong Ce has come to the county yamen, and he can be regarded as seeing the majesty of the county-level government in this era. Even if it's just a county office, it's really majestic, so that idlers don't dare to look at it directly.

This county government located in the southeast corner of Yanghe County is half a mile round, and if it is placed in later generations, it will be more than 40,000 square meters. The scale is grand and majestic. In the front of the county office, that is, in the south, there is a wall, one zhang six feet high, five zhang long, three feet thick, it is made of big blue bricks, and the top is built with green tiles to form the appearance of dripping eaves. There are a lot of glazed bricks inlaid on the front of the wall, of course, and the Nine Dragons Wall of the Forbidden City, the Nine Dragons Wall of Datong can not be compared, and the glazed bricks are inlaid into some patterns of pine cranes and soaring clouds. Behind the wall is the archway, which is where Dong Ce is now standing.
