Hanhou

Zhao Jia came forward in person, and the clansmen and Lizheng who did evil were severely punished.

All the copper money and silk silk seized from the sinner's home were returned to the relatives of the dead.After checking the number, it was found that a piece of silk was missing. After interrogation, it was learned that the cousin's wife had exchanged grain and fine cloth.

The grain is hidden in the cellar, the muslin has long been cut, and now they wear it.

"No silk, but grain and cloth."

According to the law, in addition to taking back the house and pensions, the relatives of the deceased will also receive another sum of compensation.Since Zhao Jia took care of it, he naturally took care of everything to the end, and ordered the petty officials and jailers to search for the criminals and take food and fine cloth as compensation.

Cellars were opened and sacks of corn were moved out.

The woman and the old man couldn't care less, rushed forward and howled loudly, holding the grain bag and refusing to let go.The sinner's parents, relying on their age, speak too much, and even humiliate the pawns who died in the grassland.

"Damn you!"

The Gengzu family finally couldn't take it anymore, the honest man was pushed to the limit, and his anger erupted like a volcano.

The parents of the dead have worked hard all year round. Even though they are described as old, the strength in their hands is definitely not small.

Although the sinner's parents also work, but the family has surplus money, they will hire people for the spring and autumn harvests. Compared with the younger parents, they can be said to be pampered.

"With a jackal's heart, bully my family, rob my son's pension, and bully my house, you are not ashamed and dare to insult my son! I don't want to die, I will kill you!"

The father of the pawn had red eyes and pressed the father of the sinner to the ground. Every time he said a word, his fists hit the latter's face and chest, like an enraged tiger.

The sinner's father hugged his head and screamed, the bridge of his nose was broken, tears and snot flowed together, and flowers bloomed on his face instantly.

Zhao Jia didn't order anyone to stop him, and the surrounding villagers also didn't make a sound.

Such a person should be beaten!

The criminal's wife asked her natal family for help, but was caught by the guard's mother and slapped her, leaving a clear red mark on her face.

The pawn's wife also wanted to go forward, but was stopped by her mother-in-law.

"You have a body, don't come here!"

The sinner's wife wanted to resist, but the next moment she was firmly pressed to the ground, and the pawn's mother sat on her waist, and slammed her callused palm on her face.

"Your family's food, your family's cloth? That's what my son paid for with his life!"

"You also feel at ease, you can eat and dress well?!"

The more the pawn's mother talked, the more angry she became, and the force of her attack became heavier and heavier.The woman's cheeks were swollen, and when she couldn't bear it, she yelled and cursed loudly.

The pawn's wife was enraged, and regardless of her pregnancy, she jumped up and grabbed the woman, saying bitterly: "My husband died in the war for the country, and I will give birth to his child! Your family is full of black hearts, I will tear you up." your mouth!"

Seeing something bad, the sinner's mother hid far away, not daring to go forward at all.Lizheng's family even avoided their eyes and did not intend to intervene at all.

The sinner's family bullied the old and the weak, making them ugly.According to the usual practice, things should be handled by you.The county lieutenant came forward in person, obviously attaching importance to it, and even more so to make an example to others.

Li Zheng was implicated and punished as Cheng Dan.Serving hard labor in Bian County, and being sent for such a crime, he basically wouldn't live for three years.

They don't want to be implicated.

Even if his reputation is ruined and he cannot gain a foothold in the village in the future, as long as he survives, he can still move to another county and continue to live incognito.

After the guard's family vented their anger, the jailer stepped forward, picked up the prisoner's parents and wife, tied them with a rope, and sent them to the fortress to do hard labor.

"To cover up serious crimes, men will be treated as Chengdan, and women will be punished with a pound."

The jailer acted neatly, tied him up, gagged him, and took him away today.

In front of the county lieutenant, who gave them the courage to insult and insult the pawns who died in battle?

Rely on the old and sell the old?

The imperial court really treated the elderly well, and would give corn and meat to the elderly on festivals.But it also depends on the situation, and people without virtue are definitely not included in this list.

The old man has experienced many things in the world and should educate the villagers.

Such a wolf-hearted, rotten heart, still want to be respected?

Just a joke!

"Save your energy and save it to serve your sentence."

After the pawn's family members became angry, they began to worry about their behavior.

Since everything is in accordance with the law, Zhao Jia can't expose the matter.It's just that the law is nothing more than human feelings, and the sentencing is reduced. The father and brother of the watchmen were sentenced to serve in the fortress for three days, and the women at home weaved two bolts.

"I think this son is not bad, like his elder brother." Zhao Jia looked at Gengzu's younger brother and said, "I have other arrangements for coming to the county after serving."

"Xie Xianwei!"

Gengzu's family was full of gratitude and sent Zhao Jia away. With the help of neighbors, they moved copper coins, grain and fine cloth back home.The whole family slept peacefully for the neighbor who was helping out with meals.In the early morning of the next day, the father and son took dry food and rushed to the fort where Yun Zhongqi was stationed to serve.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are busy weaving.

Even if there is still sadness in my heart, there is hope for life at least, it is not as lifeless as before, and my expression is somewhat relaxed.

Zhao Jia was determined to make an example of others, severely punished the villains who snatched the pensions of the pawns, and incidentally dealt with a few scoundrels who came from other counties.I don't want to waste time with these hob meat, so I don't want to do interrogation, just tie them up and send them to the fortress for hard labor.

The scoundrels were dumbfounded for a moment, and only then did they think of begging for mercy.

Zhao Jia waved his hands, listening impatiently, and ordered the young official to send him away as soon as possible.He still needs to make salt, so he doesn't have the time to waste money with these people.

Hearing what Zhao Jia had done, the county magistrate was delighted, and immediately sent a young official to go through the sieve in the county to arrest the rascals and rangers.

The Shaling Commercial City is flourishing day by day, and the number of caravans is increasing. There will always be rogue rangers from other counties rushing in, hoping to make a fortune.For such a person, it is natural to catch them as soon as they are discovered.

Logically speaking, the precedent still exists, these rogue rangers should not seek death.

It can only be said that money touches people's hearts, even if the rules of Yunzhong County are in front of them, there will always be people who are lucky and think that they can avoid the county soldiers.In the end, all of them were tied up, sent to hard labor, devoted themselves to labor reform, and contributed to the construction of the fortress.

Zhao Jia wiped out the county with tough measures.

In the land of Shaling, no one dared to propose rewards and pensions for the pawns.

All the incompetent township officials, Li Zheng and pavilion chiefs were dismissed.One of them was promoted by Zhao Jia himself, so it is still true.What's more, because of this, people deceived others, and even used the banner of a county captain. The crime was increased and the punishment was even heavier.

Coincidentally, Shaling County is by no means an isolated case of seizing military pensions.

After receiving the document from Zhao Jia, the prefect Wei sent people from the county to visit and investigate the counties.Officials who encounter dereliction of duty will be recorded and reported.

Fortunately, the county officials made a visit, and basically no problems were found in the county official temple, and most evil things happened in Liju.Just like Li Zheng who was punished by Zhao Jia, the real county magistrate is not as good as the present.

Knowing that they would be severely punished, at least five years as a Chengdan, was like a bolt from the blue, and many people cried bitterly on the spot.

The young official who took the man was indifferent and not moved at all.

Now that I know I regret it, what did I do earlier?

Just like Shaling County Captain said, seizing the pensions of those who died in battle, bullying orphans and widows, they are not as good as animals, and their hearts are black!

The matter in the county came to an end. Zhao Jia received news from the county town that the salt from Yuyang was about to be delivered, so he immediately returned to the livestock farm, cleared an open space, and arranged according to the plan.

With the help of the prefect's office, the necessary tools, materials and personnel were quickly in place.

For the sake of secrecy, wooden fences were erected around the test site and boards were nailed on.

After everything was ready, Zhao Jia rushed to the county town to see Wei Taishou.

After the two met, they closed the door and talked in secret.No one knew what he said, including the Wang Zhushu who had been leaked, and was not allowed to enter.

The Peng family in Yuyang owns a large salt field and has been a wealthy family since the pre-Qin period.

The one who sent the salt to Yunzhong this time was Peng Xiu, the third son of the head of the Peng family, and Wei Jian's brother-in-law.He is the legitimate son of the head of the family, just passed the age of Fu Ji, he looks like a good girl, and has a calm temperament. When he met Zhao Jia, his attitude was modest, without any arrogance.

Zhao Jia felt inexplicably familiar.

It took a long time to realize that this person's temperament was three points similar to Wei Yue's.

Sending the son of the family, it shows that Peng Shi attaches great importance to this matter.In order to understand the partners, Zhao Jia did a lot of research.

Qin set up Yuyang County, and Yuyang County was governed by the county.

The Peng family made its fortune here, and the family's power is deeply rooted in the local area, which can be said to be the head of the high school.However, although the Peng family is very powerful, they seldom do anything to oppress the people, and they will distribute food in case of natural disasters, so they have a very high reputation in the local area.

This is a peculiar family.

In Zhou Dynasty, he was a herdsman who behaved virtuously, and was generous and kind to the people; when facing a powerful family of the same height, he was not polite at all.

In the pre-Qin period, five surnames were in charge of Yuyang Saltworks. Now, the other four surnames have all disappeared, and there is no lack of Peng's methods behind them.

Two of the surnames intermarried with the Peng family for generations, united to suppress outsiders, and worked hard for decades to finally solve the external threat.What was deceiving was that before they could catch their breath, they were stabbed in the back by Mrs. Peng.

Peng's attack was very clever, even if the opponent had been prepared for a long time, he still fell into the deep pit and couldn't get out even if he tried to crawl.

The Peng family dominates and controls the Yuyang Salt Farm, and is more lenient to the common people.The patriarchs of all dynasties have strictly restrained the children of the clan. Whoever dares to bully the people in the county will be severely punished according to the clan rules.Some clansmen bullied the salt workers, disregarded their lives, were hanged by the head of the family, and flogged to death with a whip.

For such a family, if they speak kindly, they really treat the people kindly, and are praised by the counties and counties;

Zhao Jia felt a little uncertain about cooperating with such a family.

What if I get stabbed someday?

After hesitating again and again, Zhao Jia didn't dare to go directly to the prefect's mansion. After all, Peng Xiu lived in the mansion. Instead, he sent someone to fly to Yunzhongqi's station, hoping that Young Master Wei could give some advice.

Wei Yue is busy with military training and often looks for targets on the grassland.When I returned to the station, the letter had been lying on the table for more than half a day.He unfolded the wooden tablet and looked at the end from beginning to end. He understood Zhao Jia's concern, so he quickly wrote a reply letter and sent the flying cavalry to Shaling.

"No need to worry?"

Seeing the contents of the letter, Zhao Jia frowned and thought deeply.I really can't figure it out, so I can only temporarily suppress my doubts.No matter what, Wei Yue will never harm herself.Furthermore, Yuyang is far away from Yunzhong, no matter how powerful the Peng family is, they have to weigh it when they meet the Wei family.

The name of Cloud Guard is not in vain.Even if this family likes to stab their in-laws, it depends on the actual situation.Dare to slash Wei Taishou, not afraid of his wrist being broken?

After thinking about it, Zhao Jia felt that his worry was a bit ridiculous.

Not to mention Wei Shi, new salt is made, Wei Taishou will definitely play Chang'an, Peng Shi really can't think about it, dare to do it behind his back, Chang'an will never sit idly by.

Dispelling his worries, Zhao Jia summoned craftsmen to make new salt as soon as possible.Filter out the sediment and then purify it. The tools, materials and craftsmen are all in place, and there are no mistakes in the middle. The process is not difficult.

The hard work paid off, and Zhao Jia personally guarded the testing ground. After several attempts, he finally produced the first batch of new salt.

The particles are crystal clear, the color is snow white, and the salt used as the raw material is placed together, and the contrast is even stronger.

"Is this salt?"

The box containing the salt was in front of him. Although the prefect Wei was prepared, he couldn't help being surprised.Peng Xiu even stood up abruptly, grabbed a handful of fresh salt from the box, and even twisted a pinch into his mouth.

Looking at his face without changing his expression, Zhao Jia admired him very much.

This pinch can fry two dishes, is it really not salty?

When he saw the finished product, he asked how much salt was produced and whether the quality would remain the same. Peng Xiu left the next day and returned to Yuyang with a fresh jar of salt.

This matter is no small matter, the value of the new salt far exceeds expectations, he can no longer make decisions, and must report to the owner.

Wei Shang wrote a memorial on that day, and sent flying cavalry to Chang'an together with the salt making method and all existing finished products.

Flying riders traveled day and night, hurried and slow, and arrived in Chang'an City five days after the prince's wedding.

At that time, the princes and kings had set off one after another, including Liu Che's younger brothers, who were also escorted back to Fengguo by the Prime Minister.Only Liang Wang stayed in Chang'an and did not leave for a long time.

The memorials and new salt were sent to Weiyang Palace. After Emperor Jing saw it, he ordered someone to summon the prince, and then went to Changle Palace in person.

A few days later, Emperor Jing decreed that Yuyang County should be the food town of the second princess and marry Nangonghou.

After receiving the imperial decree, the second princess immediately stood up and retreated behind the screen, avoiding the courtiers and eunuchs, biting her knuckles hard to suppress the excitement in her heart.After making sure that he would not lose his composure, he redressed and went to Changle Palace and Xuanshi to thank him.

"Go to see the emperor first."

The second princess, who should be called Princess Yuyang now, looked at the figure in the bronze mirror, and slowly raised the corners of her mouth.
