Chapter 602: The homeless person is beaten
The Tang people re-believe the promise.
The words on the sign are like knives, killing people and punishing hearts, tearing people's skins, throwing them on the ground and trampling on them, crushing them, what kind of humiliation and hatred? The strange thing is that no one in the mansion came out to stop it.
Wei Zheng couldn't help but look at the mansion, there were four people at the door, but his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and his face was frightened, as if he had been beaten by someone, how could this be?
A thought flashed in his mind, and Wei Zheng stepped forward and shouted: "Wei Zheng, the official imperial historian, said, what happened here?" ”
The four gatekeepers exchanged glances, and one of them stepped forward and explained in a panic: "Hui Wei asked, these people suddenly came out, blocked the door to ask for debts, and the small ones were driven away, but they were beaten up by another group of people. ”
"Have you ever stormed the mansion?"
"No!" The other party told the truth.
"What about the master of your house, let him come out to see the official."
The other party hurriedly said: "Go back to my lord, my master has left the house and his whereabouts are unknown." ”
Wei Zheng's face changed slightly, and seeing that he couldn't ask anything, he came to the homeless and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
At this time, several strong men hurried over, followed by two people, two people pushed a car, the car put a stove and other tools, a strong man signaled the car to stop, and explained to the two: "Make cakes immediately, put more meat, everyone must be full, this is silver, not enough to say more." "Say and throw it away.
One person caught it, nodded his head, and promised: "I promise to let everyone eat well, do it immediately, do it immediately." ”
The two moved down the stove and other tools to prepare to make scones on the spot, Wei Zheng became more and more curious when he saw this scene, looked at the sturdy man who spoke just now and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The other party knew Wei Zheng, and clenched his fists and explained: "By the order of the King of Han, protect these people from being bullied." ”
"You were sent by the King of Han?" Wei Zheng's face changed, and he pointed to the homeless people and asked, "What about them?" ”
"They are displaced people who have been affected by disasters and come to Chang'an to survive, and they have been hired by the bitter owner of the department store to come here to collect debts, and they are in charge of three meals a day, they have a place to live, and they don't need to do anything else, they just need to guard the door and hold up a sign."
Wei Zheng was so shrewd, he instantly guessed that there were twists and turns, this was to block the department store, take the opportunity to stink the reputation of the people behind the department store, and kill the Shandong family and the Jiangnan Shi clan, which cost only three meals a day, which was too ruthless.
These are homeless people who can't survive, and they dare to do anything if they have a stutter, not to mention three meals a day, or meat patties, can they still die without exerting their strength? Whoever dares to drive them away will cut off people's livelihood and absolutely resist, and once a large-scale riot is caused, an official who forces the people to rebel cannot shake off the hat.
It's so ruthless!
No wonder the owner of the mansion ran away, this is not to provoke.
Next to him, Liu Dewei, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is also an old and refined person, and he heard it clearly, and he also thought of the Tao, his face turned bitter, and he looked at Wei Zheng for help.
Wei Zheng was worried that the homeless people didn't know how to settle them, so now he pretended not to see Liu Dewei's eyes, and continued to ask: "How many homeless people have been hired?" ”
"Eighteen people in the department store owner, a total of eighteen mansions, nearly 100 people are arranged in each place, and I am afraid that more will be hired later, the king of Han can not see the people suffering, but thousands of people eat and drink Lazar are silver, the king of Han said, normal debt collection, this fee is caused by the arrears of the department store, so they have to pay, no need to save."
Ruthless, too ruthless!
Wei Zheng didn't know what to say, so he mourned for the owner of the department store for a moment in his heart, and asked: "According to the contract, there are still five days, and if the department store can't deliver the goods after five days, you must compensate for the fine, doesn't it mean that everyone stays here for five days, and after five days, does the king of Han say how to arrange the homeless?" ”
Wei Zheng doesn't care if the department store loses money or not, but the homeless people are a big hidden danger, and if they are not handled well, there will be accidents in Chang'an City.
The strong man shook his head and said, "This is not clear, our duty is to take care of everyone's food, drink and safety." ”
At this time, Liu Dewei couldn't help it, pulled Wei Zheng aside and whispered, "This ...... What kind of system? ”
Wei Zheng looked at the homeless people, he was looking intently at the scones he was making, swallowing in his throat, he looked like he hadn't eaten for several days, but no one stepped forward to rob him, he hadn't lost his nature, he had become a Diao Min, he was a little calm, and asked rhetorically: "Have they ever violated the law of Zhenguan when they gather here?" ”
The law of Zhenguan does not stipulate that people are not allowed to gather and meditate.
Liu Dewei smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Wei Zheng continued to ask, "Then did they ever violate the law by holding up their cards?" ”
It's just a sign, it doesn't hurt people, it's not noisy, the etiquette is orderly, and Andy Lau can't add the crime in vain, and said with a wry smile: "It's not really, it's just the content on the sign?" ”
"Has the content ever been faked?" Wei Zheng asked rhetorically.
"This ......" Liu Dewei doesn't know what to say, the time has not yet come, the department store cannot be considered a breach of contract, and it cannot be said that the money is not repaid, but it is indeed impossible to deliver the goods on time, but it is just to tell the truth in advance, the key is that even if someone is arrested, what crime will be sentenced in the future?
Rumor-mongering, slander?
As soon as the delivery time comes, the department store will breach the contract, even if it is not allowed to slander and spread rumors, not to mention that you have to take care of food and arrange a place to live when you arrest people, and the homeless people want someone to take care of them, this is not a few people, but hundreds of people.
After thinking about it, Liu Dewei was a little embarrassed.
Wei Zheng continued to ask: "Have you ever been in the private house?" ”
"No!" Liu Dewei is not easy to open his eyes and talk nonsense, and the homeless people are sit-in on the street, but they are close to the private house, and they are not within the gate of the private house, so it is not an invasion.
"Have you ever named names?" Wei Zheng continued to ask.
"This ...... Never! ”
Wei Zheng continued to ask: "Lord Liu, I am not at the door of the private house, I have not named my name, but I am just sitting on the street and holding up a sign, whose interests do you say these homeless people are infringing on?" Which law of Zhenguan law has been violated? If you are not afraid of a civil uprising, arrest people. ”
A group of homeless people who can't survive, if they really arrest people, there will definitely be chaos, and when the time comes, they will be charged with forcing the people to rebel, what is this called? Liu Dewei smiled bitterly and said: Lord Wei, is this not good after all?
"There are two sides to everything, the homeless people are running around the streets, they can't live but they can do anything, and when the time comes, it's your criminal department that is still worried, and now they are just sitting here, it doesn't affect the order, and it won't give birth to chaos, and there are people who take care of the food, isn't it? If you are not at ease, you can arrange for someone to watch on the spot, as for other things, someone is worried. Wei Zheng was full of smiles, and he was in an inexplicably good mood.
I thought of many possibilities, but I didn't expect Qin Huaidao to use the trick of being a homeless person, not only to kill people and punish the heart, but also to violate the law of Zhenguan, which was simply too damaging.
Liu Dewei looked at the quiet homeless people and nodded silently.
Suddenly, a group of people rushed over and hit the homeless.
The incident happened suddenly, and the homeless people were caught off guard, and several fell down on the spot.
The people from the criminal department hurriedly went up to stop them, and the sturdy men sent by the King of Han also rushed up.
However, the gang fled with a bang, and with great speed, they looked like veterans who had been prepared and familiar with the terrain, and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this scene, Wei Zheng's face turned cold and looked at Liu Dewei.
Liu Dewei's face is hot and self-conscious, these people are not only beating the homeless, but also their own face? He reprimanded angrily: "Lord Zhao, take someone to the official to arrest the murderer, let one go, you can't spare it, go quickly." ”
"Obey." An official of the Criminal Department hurriedly clenched his fists and led people to catch up.
Wei Zheng saw that something was wrong, and reminded in a low voice: "It came suddenly, and it went even more suddenly, this is threatening, intimidating, and intending to scare off the homeless, and nine times out of ten it is related to the people in the department store." ”
"Lord Wei has a point." Liu Dewei's eyes were also gloomy, and he actually did it in front of himself, is this worth it? If you don't get back to the field, how can the majesty of the criminal department exist?
At this time, someone from the displaced people came out and shouted indignantly: "They must have done it, trying to scare us away, everyone said, whether to leave or stay." ”
"Stay, of course stay!"
"Where can we go?"
"Without food, we won't survive tonight."
The crowd responded and became emotional.
The person who stood up and spoke just now shouted: "If we don't do anything, why should others control the meatloaf?" What's more, several of our people have been injured, and this breath can't be bearable, so let's rush into the mansion and let them hand over the murderer. ”
"Yes, hand over the murderer!"
"Anyway, we can't survive, and our people can't be beaten in vain."
"I can't bear it!"
Everyone became more and more excited, and they all looked at the mansion of the head of the department store not far away, and the fierce light was great.
Thinking that he would not survive tonight without meatloaf, thinking of his own people being beaten and left unattended, and thinking of a hopeless life, his heart was surging with anger, and his eyes became red.
"Rush in and ask for an explanation!"
I don't know who roared, and everyone exploded in an instant and rushed forward.
As soon as most of the people from the Criminal Department were transferred to arrest the murderer, where could the few remaining people stop the excited homeless people, and for a while the scene was chaotic, screaming and rushing forward.
Wei Zheng was a little stunned when he saw this scene, and he always felt that something was wrong, so he couldn't help but look for the sturdy men sent by the King of Han just now, but found that none of them were gone, and he didn't know if he rushed into the mansion, so he hurriedly shouted: "Lord Liu, quickly arrange someone to stop it, and send someone to notify the Southern Yasi to transfer troops over, and it is difficult to get the people to mutiny." ”
Liu Dewei also realized that the problem was serious, once a group of homeless people who were bitter and couldn't survive rushed into the mansion, it wasn't that they saw anything to rob something, and the lives of people were small, so he quickly arranged for someone to go to the Nanyasi to report the news, and immediately yelled at the subordinates who stayed: "Rush in to block it, so that you can be appeased, and you must not use a knife." ”
"Yes, not with a knife." Wei Zheng hurriedly added.
If you really use the knife, it will definitely be even more chaotic.
But how can you appease the anger of the people who have gone out of control without using a knife?
Everyone in the criminal department looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Why don't you go soon?" Liu Dewei urged.
Wei Zheng was worried that something would make a big mess, so he strode forward and shouted, "Come with me!" ”
