Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 134 Uncapped (please subscribe!)
Since ancient times, the act of writing anonymous letters to report has been banned by the government. For example, in the "Qin Law": "If you submit a letter, don't send it. Burn it when you see it."

Even if you see an anonymous letter to report, don't tear it down, and burn it immediately.

"Book of Jin·Criminal Law" also said, "Change to the case of abandoning the market, so the punishment is light." It can be seen that at this time, anonymous whistleblowers are under the punishment of abandoning the market.

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties after Cao Wei, although death was no longer discussed, the prohibition of anonymous reporting was still included in the law. Those who are involved will be burned immediately, and those who are going to be sent to court will be punished for one year..."

Then to the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" and "Law of the Qing Dynasty", there are similar provisions.

Such regulations were originally intended to block the source of false accusations and stop the road of treachery and deceit.

But in Su Zhao's view, this is a compromise and a show of weakness under the insufficient supervision force.

It is undeniable that the Anonymous Book's report is indeed a good strategy for cracking down on corrupt officials in the short term.

Whether it is due to personal grievances or genuine grievances, the anonymous contributors will provide a wealth of materials, and the rest is verification and punishment...

"But with the help of extraordinary power, this is also to prevent false accusations." Su Zhao has already considered letting An An sit in the interrogation room of Yushitai to cooperate with the conversation, questioning, and verification of criminal evidence.

"Isn't An An good at listening to people's thoughts, this is a living Xiezhi, if you can't touch it straight, go away." Su Zhao thought.

There are magical powers in this world. It is for rectifying the administration of officials and weeding out a group of honest and honest talents, not for venting anger and cleaning up the bureaucracy.

Below, Feng Kuang, one of the two deputy privy envoys, showed a dignified expression, his lips moved, wanting to persuade, but he felt it was inappropriate, so he simply did not speak.

After the court was over, Su Zhao left Chang Miao alone to teach him how to do it face to face.

Chang Miao cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the Yushitai is short of manpower, so I'm afraid it will delay your Majesty's affairs."

Su Zhaodao: "I will help Chang Qing, don't let unjust, false and wrong cases happen, and don't be wronged or indulged."

Chang Miao paused, cupped his hands and said, "If that's the case, I should try my best to do it, but is there any restriction on the rank and rank of the officials to rectify this time?"

"There is no ceiling." Su Zhao said calmly with a gloomy expression.

Chang Miao's heart shuddered.

Su Zhao said coldly: "Previously, Han Tao, the former county magistrate of Fengle County and Dafeng County, reported that Su Shou, the son of Zong Bo Su Mao, had set up a private farm in Fengle County and ran wild in the village. Yu Shitai began to investigate this matter first. .”

Rao Chang Miao, hearing this remark, couldn't help but feel nervous, and thought to himself, is it possible that another six-official boss will fall in the court of Su Guo?
And this time it was the clan who did it.

But meeting Su Zhao's gaze, he cupped his hands and said, "I would like to obey your majesty's order."

After the dynasty disbanded, some ministers were worried, and they all gathered in front of Dazai Jinghongdao. Guo Xu, a young Situ, was one of Meng Jichang's officials, and said with a complexion: "Jing Gong, the court situation is in turmoil, you have to persuade me?" Your Majesty, if accusations of traitors are raging in Wenyi, and the traitor Xiaoxiao takes the opportunity to make false accusations, then everyone will be in danger."

Jing Hongdao glanced at Guo Xu, and said loudly: "If you hold yourself upright, why not be afraid of making small remarks for a day or two, gentlemen and princes are not the ones you can bully, you should do it yourself."

Zong Bo Su Mao's expression changed and he left in a hurry.

He has done a lot of things like bullying men and women, and embezzling public funds, even...

Thinking of this, my heart is empty.

He still has to pack up his hands on this matter, his youngest son Su Shou is staying in Wenyi now, no, it's too dangerous, he has to go to Zheng Guo to hide.

The so-called Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit, what is little known is that Zong Bo Su Mao also owned property in Zheng State.

Today, Su Guowen City is destined to no longer be peaceful.

Following the appointment of the new governor of Wenyi, Yan Chang, the secretary was widely distributed in Wenyi and surrounding counties under the command of subordinate officials and servants.

Almost caused an uproar.

Some people were skeptical, some sneered, and some secretly became ruthless.

Wenyi City, the city of Su has been changed three times in the history of the country.

There are 72 squares, four cities in east, west, north and south, and it has always been said that "the east is rich and the west is cheap, and the south is rich and the north is poor".

With such a large population, it was almost equal to the population of Su on the books.

But it is a pity that most of them are sheltered and hidden in wealthy families as slaves, and some of them are black households who are not registered in the government.

If Su Zhao's dry sky observation method is more profound, you can see the torrent of luck mixed with white and red in the sky above Wenyi City, with black qi tumbling-but it is not because the dragon qi bursts out and gradually manifests. Su country's pillar of luck provides the slightest nutrient.

Among them, Shibafang in the north of the city is a place where the three religions exchanged, where prostitutes, gambling houses, pickpockets, beggars, and Jianghu gangs entrenched.

Most of them were fleeing households from the three counties in the north, and some were from the Su people who had lost their land in the south and were unwilling to take refuge with the ministers, nor to leave their homes and go to other countries.

For this, even Han Dai, the former governor of Wenyi, can only turn a blind eye, because this is not a security issue, but a social issue.

It's also impossible for Han Dai to... do some kind of thunderous operation to clean up the "low-end population".

The people in Shanyang, Ningguo, and Fengchi counties around Wenyi who lost their land under the encroachment of Su Guogongqing and clan relatives Xungui left their homes here just to beg for a meal.

In Yongyefang, there are rows of green brick and red tile houses lined up one after another. In a narrow and long alley, sewage flows across, and occasionally a few dogs barking can be heard from a distance.

A paulownia black lacquered sign with the four characters "Shanjia Old Store" was blown in the strong wind.

"I don't know how many days it will rain." In the store, there are oil lamps on the beams and pillars. Although the lights are not very bright, they can clearly illuminate the messy layout in the store. One of the table legs was broken, and it was supported by piles of blue bricks.

The old shopkeeper in coarse clothes rubbed his big hands with his cattail fan, and made a calculation in front of the account book. Occasionally, he picked up the black wine jug nearby and took a sip. His red-toothed garlic nose became even redder.

"The head of the house, the T-shaped store on the second floor, the rent is two months in arrears, you go to remind me." The old shopkeeper raised his head and said.

"Okay." The woman with heavy makeup on the waist of the bucket answered.

In a room on the south side of the second floor with simple decoration, even a little worn out, the smell of herbs permeates the nostrils.

Under a pair of patched thin quilts, a young man with a pale complexion leaned against a pillow, breathless, but in his hand was holding a volume of military books called "Wei Zi", which was written by Wei Xiang, a native of Qi, and read it intently, Aware of the approaching person, she put down the book in her hand, said with a warm smile on her face, "Little sister."

Jingchai in a cloth skirt, wearing a double bun, a young girl in her twenties, holding a carp porcelain bowl in her hand, in which is a black soup.

The girl's face was gray and white from the smoke, but it was hard to hide the beauty and gracefulness between her eyebrows and eyes.

Under the dim light, Xiu Neck's skin was as white as jade, obviously not from a poor family.

"Brother, have you been feeling better these days?" The girl asked with a spoonful of tea, frowning her pretty brows, blowing on her breath.

Shen Jun said: "It's still a little weak, the blood is not smooth, maybe this medicine is not right for the disease?"

"Oh, Mr. Xu is known as the master of the apricot grove. I read the prescription, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with it." Shen Chan's face changed slightly, and she said in a surprised voice.

"Xinglin Sage? He asked someone to brag for him, right?" Shen Jun smiled and said, not paying too much attention, and said, "Have you submitted the certificate to the yamen yet?"

"No one answered. The door of the yamen of the Sikou Mansion in the east of the city heard that there were children of the Su family. It was as if they had seen the plague god. No one dared to answer." Shen Chan bit her cherry lips with her teeth and said softly.

Shen Jun sighed, and said: "I heard from Han Xianzun that Si Kou Chen Gong is stern and selfless, and he shouldn't be."

However, he did not expect that Shen Chanwei went several times, but did not see Chen Shao at all, but was stopped by the gate of the Sikou Mansion.

The complaint was never submitted to the Chen Shao case.

In addition, the Sikou Mansion was dealing with Yuan Bin's remaining party at that time, and all capable talents were transferred to the trial of Yuan Ni's case, so no one paid any attention to the dispute over land and house.

Shen Jun suppressed his doubts, and said: "You bring the pen, ink and paper, I will write a prescription, and you go grab some medicine."

"Brother, we have run out of money." Shen Chanwei took out a purse from her pocket, and it was already empty.

They came from the Shen family of Lanxi, Dafeng County, and they lived in Shenjia Village for generations.

The brothers and sisters of the Shen family were entrusted by the county magistrate of Dafeng to travel thousands of miles to Wenyi to file a complaint.

Shen Jun said: "It's all my brother's fault, it's so raw and fell ill."

He was originally an acquired martial artist, so he shouldn't be so weak, but he brought his sister to Wenyi Road, and the people in the rivers and lakes bought by Su Shou repeatedly besieged and killed them. When he finally arrived in Wenyi, his mind relaxed, and he fell ill instead bed.

On the second floor of the inn, there were a few overwhelmed "squeaks" along the stairs, and the woman with a bucket waist slammed on the door for two people, holding peanuts in her hand, peeling and eating, while He yelled, "How long has the rent been delayed for last month, it's time to pay."

Shen Chan stepped out of the room, bowed to the woman, and said: "Sister, can you give me a few more days, my brother is bedridden, and the money has been used to buy medicine, and there is really no money left to pay."
