Chapter 192 The magistrate's plan
The word "King Law" can be said on the surface of the official side. If you talk about the king's law, you will feel that you are in bad shape. If you talk about the king's law, you can only eat a little salary in your hand now, and you will still get treasure money like waste paper. This is equivalent to having no money and how to support your family, let alone hire a staff member. If you talk about the king's law, there will be no deputy servants in the county government. There are only a few dozen people who are busy inside and out, and they can't finish anything and can't do anything.
Besides, Zhu Da and his gang are ruthless thieves who dare to exterminate the family and set fire in the city. The civil servants and servants in the city were already scared, and there was not even a person to capture them. But you have to ask for the crime. Who will do it? If no one will do it, you will be sneaked into the murder and set fire at night. I think it is not like this.
Master Hu Shouqiu looked at the magistrate Ai Zhengwen with some rudeness, thinking that his proprietor was also a master, and it is said that he was an aide to a Taoist. Because this magistrate was convicted and imprisoned, he returned to his hometown to retake the road of scientific examinations. Who would have thought that he would be lucky from heaven and actually passed the provincial examination, so that he could be released to be the magistrate. Such a person is not a young man who studies hard but does not know how to practice. He is too lazy to do what he has done back then. He used to be proficient in matters and practices. How did he say these words just now? Could it be that he was crazy?
"Shouqiu, do you think I was crazy?" County Magistrate Ai asked with a smile.
Hu Shouqiu nodded subconsciously and then shook his head quickly. Ai Zhengwen said with a smile: "Do you think that all the officials in the county are scared and no one can catch these desperate people? Do you think that if you are shocked, we will be in danger? Do you think that I am also an old practice person, and are you crazy about talking about Wang Fa?"
"Since the boss is so thoughtful, why do you plan like this? The students are really puzzled. Moreover, although Zhu Da is young, he is very careful in his work. Although he enters and leaves the county town, there are no traces of other matters, and people cannot catch them. It is unreasonable to arrest them. Even if there is no danger of war, there will be future troubles when arresting them, let alone the two people are from the Wei Institute. Although his adopted father is unclear about his life and death, there are also a few scholars he knows. God knows that there is any other relationship. When the trouble comes, it will be hindered to the boss!" Hu Shouqiu said in contemplation. Since he can think of everything he should think of, then he can persuade him reasonably.
Ai Zhengwen put down the tea bowl, shook his head and smiled: "I have also heard people talk about Qin Chuan's deeds. He is a good student and actually becomes the master of the Yan Xiao. These routines must have been taught by him, how to avoid the king's law and how to deal with the government."
Although the yamen is dark, there must be an excuse to question the common people. If you are forced to make false accusations, unless you can suppress all aspects, there will be trouble. The local gentry can't stand it. The relatives of the miserable went to the top to sue. If you are not careful, you will be questioned by the local gentry and questioned by the top to the top. If the case turns over, the case will turn over. If you are lucky, you will be dismissed from office and imprisonment.
This is the reason why more things are worse than less. As long as your wife is an ordinary official, she can get any benefits. She does not need to fight with the small profits in front of her for a while. When she meets Zhu Da who understands the rules and may have a backup plan, she will not be able to manage finances. Of course, this is also Zhu Da’s consideration of doing things. It makes people worry about not having real intimidation or strength, so that the other party thinks that there is, or the other party thinks that there may be, which will reduce a lot of risks.
If he was a nerd who studied behind closed doors, passed the imperial examinations and was exiled to be an official, he might be unable to bear the momentum or have stupid righteousness in his heart to capture Zhu Da and others. However, Ai Zhengwen was well versed in practice. He might have persuaded his boss for the same reason, but how could he make the same mistake?
"Shouqiu, after I came to Huairen County, I won't be in charge of it. You know this." Ai Zhengwen said with Youran, and Hu Shouqiu nodded repeatedly.
"The previous few people were the same as me, but they couldn't control it. I didn't know how to manage it. I was too lazy to manage it. The small county town was nothing more than some tricks on autumn grain. It was really boring. The common examples on autumn grain were not short. So what else should I care about? Look at the people's vision below. I think there are mountains of gold and silver in this county town. What's the point? Even if they are shameless, they can get hundreds of taels of silver a year? Besides, they can't shaved. There is a hero here and a hero there. Who cares about the official robbers?" Ai Zhengwen said these words quite relaxed, but Hu Shouqiu knew it was the truth. His boss didn't think much about the oil and water in the county, and the people from the sixth house were also quite tactful. The article they should give was never short, and both sides were so vague and angry.
Ai Zhengwen picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. If there was a careful person there, it could be seen that the middle-aged man was a little excited at this time. After putting down the tea bowl, he said: "Zhu Da did a big business in Zheng Jiaji. This time he not only made money in business, but also brought back the silver he hid. Isn't it all the following? He said that he brought back several thousand taels. People here have shallow eyes, but those who have seen the ruts said that there are at least three thousand taels. If I can get half of this silver, I will be transferred to Shanxi or Henan."
Having said that, Hu Shouqiu suddenly realized that wealth was moving. The owner of his family had thought about such a big fortune. It was nothing strange. There were not many benefits in autumn grain and daily yamen. There were not many official communication and daily spending left. Moreover, the owner of the company Ai Zhengwen was thinking of doing two more jobs, and he didn't want to make things too extreme, so he was very decent about making money. Huairen County was not a wealthy place, so he naturally did not lose any benefits.
Since the Mongolian horse team invaded and broke the illusion of peace for more than ten years, the risk of Huairen's magistrate has increased a lot. This time, Zheng Jiaji was broken. If it was Huairen County next time, the magistrate was responsible for hanging himself. Ai Zhengwen's plan to transfer is much more urgent, but if he wants to transfer to the inland county, he has to spend extra money. The more money he spends, the better the place to go.
Ai Zhengwen was an aide to others back then, and his face was very good. As long as he had enough money, it was not difficult to transfer to a suitable place, but the difference was in the money. However, more than a thousand taels of cash were not so easy to raise, but there was a ready-made opportunity in front of him!
"Owner, there is no basis for it, and the second is that these two kids are tigers and wolves. If you are not careful, you will be killed. The people in this county can no longer be trusted." Hu Shouqiu expressed his concern. The fire and death of people last night were not fake, let alone taking people. Today, the officials from the sixth ranks and three ranks took turns to give gifts to show their good news. He also knew that no one was willing to work hard, so there was no way to talk about the follow-up.
Hu Shouqiu pointed out these points, but Ai Zhengwen said confidently: "These twenty lives of last night must have nothing to do with these two kids. They will be arrested and questioned and can ask for conclusive confessions and evidence. At that time, there will be no possibility of a turnaround. As for the arrest of people, killing officials and setting fires in the middle of the night, this is not a murderer's crime. This is the intention of the thief to rebel, and it is a rebellion. The county's official mission is unreliable. Then use the village heroes and the group training. A few hundred people can be mobilized in places that have not been harmed by the Tartars. Even if he has three heads and six arms, can he block these hundreds of people?"
"Owner, so many people are afraid that their hands and feet will not be clean, how many can they be left?"
"So I only have half of it. Besides, as long as the officials keep a large amount of money in their eyes, the township heroes can't get much. They will be satisfied when they distribute a few hundred taels. As for the officers, if they don't have the courage to deal with Zhu Da, it doesn't mean they have no hatred and are in a way." He thought it very comprehensively.
"Owner, what if that person is anxious, can the people from three classes and six rooms defend themselves?" Hu Shouqiu was most worried about, and his capital and life were the most important things.
Speaking of this, Ai Zhengwen's face showed confidence and said with a sneer: "This Zhu Da is bold and understands the rules, so he only dares to fight during the day but not see blood. He kills people and sets fires at night. Look at the things he has entered and left the city. Although he is bold and reckless, he has never left a handle. He knows the rules and is taking advantage of loopholes in the rules. Such people seem to be brave, but in fact they know the measure. He dares to kill officials, but does not dare to kill officials. Kill officials is rebelling. If he is so bold, he will not use the local bravery. At that time, there will be an official army to encircle and suppress them. He knows the consequences and he will not dare to do this."
Hu Shouqiu nodded slowly. The boss of his family is indeed a senior who has been a staff member for many years. He is smart and can understand people's hearts. His words just now are indeed reasonable. Since he heard the name Zhu Da, he thought that this person was a smart person. He did not touch the rules, but made a fuss within the scope permitted by the rules. Such a person would not kill officials. In the Ming Dynasty, civil servants and servants are low-key soldiers and are recognized as killing people. Killing officials is an offense to the entire Ming Dynasty and will attract revenge from the entire Ming Dynasty. The official army encircled and suppressed you, and it would be useless to have your steel and iron bones. Then Zhu Da was also a smart person. Naturally, he understood this. Since he understood, he would definitely not dare to step over the line.
"Shouqiu, from now on, let all three squads and six wards go to the yamen to pay the taxi and sticks transfer thirty people to protect the inner hall. Others patrol at all times and do not slack off. When you can do this, you will arrange to mobilize the township heroes."
Before Hu Shouqiu expressed his final concern, Ai Zhengwen answered the question. Although Zhu Da dared not kill the official, what if he rushed to jump into the yamen or even sneaked into the assassination? The magistrate had his own considerations and thought it was very thoughtful, which made Hu Shouqiu admire him from the bottom of his heart.
