Chapter 377: Calling the Shots for the People
The woman smiled cheerfully, "This is not a secret, you can find out if you go outside and ask casually!" When our prefect took office, he asked his wife to sit on a donkey with the child in his arms, and he drove the donkey himself, and made a private visit to take office while walking. ”
It is very special, and through this method, you can clearly know the folk customs in the city of Yeyufu.
The woman's eyebrows continued to flutter, and she said with spit flying, "Once he visited the city, and the shops were very short of catties, taels, and short rulers. I also visited the leaders of the government officials like wolves and tigers, and it is even more annoying to oppress the poor. So, he made up his mind to rectify this bad atmosphere.
On the first market day of our Wang Governor's Office, Wang Zhifu put on civilian clothes and went to the market to wander around, he slipped to the butcher shop in the west of the city, and saw that there were many people shouting and shouting, so he stepped forward to take a look.
As a result, I saw that Boss Fu and a young man were arguing, and the young man was holding a string of ropes hanging from the flat pole in one hand and a small piece of pork in the other.
The prefect of the king stepped forward and took the young man out and asked, 'Little brother, why did you quarrel with the butcher shop?' ’
The young man said angrily, "Today I went into the city to sell firewood, only sold for ten cents, my old mother wants to eat meat, I plan to buy half a catty of meat back to my mother to eat, after buying, when I went back, I met my brother Zhang next door to the city to sell vegetables, I used his weighing, you know this half catty of meat is half a tael, I came to the butcher shop to find them, but they don't admit it, and say that I deliberately came to find fault and make trouble!" It's not easy for us poor people to make money, if I'm the kind of person who likes to find fault and make trouble, why do I need to buy this half a catty of meat! ’
At that time, the prefect said, 'Why do you need to be angry with him?' Why didn't you go to the government to sue him? ’
The man said, 'I want to too, but will the prefect take care of such a trivial matter?' I don't know how to write anything, and I don't have the money to hire someone to write it! Besides, the strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake, even if I sue him, after that, he still bullies others? ’
The prefect of the king persuaded him, 'Little brother, you are a little depressed, let me tell you, enter the mansion gate, beat the drum and sing grievances, and when you arrive at the mansion, you will kowtow to the adult, and you will answer whatever the adult asks you, and you are not allowed to look up at the prefect! Our new prefect is a good one, as long as you go to beat the drum and voice your grievances, he will definitely handle the case for you! ’
The guy was still reluctant to go, worried that the prefect would not handle the case for him, so he went after repeated hesitation! ”
Lu said, "If the prefect asks him to go, he will naturally handle the case." ”
"That's right, that young man really went to the mansion, beat the drum and sounded the grievances, and the prefect was promoted to ask the case." The woman is honored.
"The result?" Lu asked.
The woman said, "Of course the result is good, the prefect not only did enough for the young man, but also brought the butcher shop owner over to confront him, and then asked the head of the team to weigh in the lobby of the government, the butcher shop owner, outside is quite arrogant, but in front of the prefect, it is like a mouse seeing a cat, and he confesses his guilt very honestly!" The prefect fined him twenty taels of silver and warned him not to deduct two catties! Guess what happened to the twenty taels of silver? ”
Lu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
Shen Qing's eyes lit up, "Could it be, give it to that young man, brother?!" ”
"Hey, girl, you're really smart, that's right, the prefect did give the twenty taels of silver to that young man!" The woman smiled.
