"Liu Sanfei, you find an old coward looking for death! I think you want to die!" Zhang Laosan, the village head of Danyang Village, was greeted by his parents and himself by the way, so angry that there was almost no smoke on his forehead .

As he spoke, he wanted to rush over to fight Nanyang Clan Chief Liu Sanfei, but was dragged back by a yamen servant.

"Why, he is allowed to scold me, and I am not allowed to scold him? I think you officials are taking advantage of Nanyang and Xinyang people! Officials are not benevolent!" Liu Sanfei took the opportunity to scold.

How could Zhang Yanjin fail to see that this was Liu Sanfei deliberately provoking trouble, trying to blame him on corruption as an official, causing rumors to spread.

It was not difficult for him to imagine that it was Liu Sanfei and his group who deliberately provoked people in Nanyang and Xinyang, leading to the scene he saw when he came in the afternoon.

"If you have reasonable demands, you can go to the government office to report them. If you make trouble here and cause a fight, what is it that hurts the court officials? It is a violation of the law!"

Zhang Yanjin took a step forward, glanced coldly at the people in Danyang Village, and said, "This place has just started to be rebuilt, and the prison has not yet been built, but if you want to build one, it's not impossible to build it in a short time! Besides, if you know the law and break the law, If you have a problem, you can report it to the government, and if you make trouble like this, you will always be welcome at the gate of the prison!"

Giving a stick to a candy, Zhang Yanjin knew that blindly suppressing it was useless, at least to give these rioting villagers a buffer time, he said in a soothing tone: "I'm here today, you have nothing to do with the tea tree garden land. You can express your dissatisfaction, if your request is legal and reasonable, our government will definitely be impartial!"

After finishing speaking, he waved to the yamen servant and said, "Go get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and the table!"

Seeing that the yamen servant brought all the things Zhang Yanjin asked for, Chen Su didn't put on any official airs. He just sat on the simple mat on the floor and prepared to record.

What he admires about Zhang Yanjin now is that he is not afraid of unreasonable people, but he is afraid of unreasonable and mischievous thugs. In his memory, the government sent troops to suppress and domesticate such thugs everywhere, but he did not expect that, Zhang Yanjin managed to stabilize the matter without mobilizing a single soldier today, and even scolded these unruly people speechless, what a joy, how wonderful!

In the past few hours, most of the villagers in Danyang Village have become parched and sluggish. Only a few leaders are still arguing with the patriarchs of Nanyang and Xinyang, but there are yamen servants who are staring at each other. Staring, no one dared to scold mothers or do anything, they were just arguing about the existence of the ground.

Zhang Yanjin listened from the side, and finally understood why the people from Danyang Village were making trouble.

It turned out that there was a family of hunters in Danyang Village who once built a small house here so that they could rest here during the day while hunting. Later, when a small flood occurred many years ago, the people in Danyang Village moved away and never moved again. When he came back, the simple house built by the hunter was abandoned.

Since the simple house he built was in the valley at that time, no one took care of it.

No, when the land was being enclosed that day, Huang Xiujun asked people to tear down the simple house, planning to make the land a part of the tea garden.This place is called the land of their ancestors by the villagers of Danyang Village, and they want to get a share of it.

Zhang Yanjin was puzzled by the fact that the villagers of Danyang Village had heard the news that the place would be reorganized into a tea tree garden.

The two teams argued for another half an hour, and finally someone in Danyang Village couldn't bear it anymore, and sat on the ground carelessly, yelling that they wanted to leave. They don't live here now, and they have to walk for a long time to get back to their home. In addition, they were arguing endlessly at noon and did not eat. Now they are hungry, thirsty and tired.

Zhang Yanjin is not in a hurry either, he has made up his mind now that he will consume the villagers of Danyang Village, if he dares to make trouble, he will not pay the price, he will never let you make trouble, and if you want to leave later, he will simply let you go Bar?

Therefore, whenever the villagers of Danyang Village wanted to leave, Zhang Yanjin asked the yamen servant to come forward and politely persuade him: "The matter has not been cleared up yet. You have walked here for so long. If you don't clear up, you will come here next time." If you want to come, let's sort it out once and for all this time."

The villagers of Danyang Village were naturally afraid of the government servants. To be honest, they were also coaxed to get a piece of the pie, not because they wanted to fight against the government, nor because they were not afraid of the government.

Seeing what the yamen servant said at this time, they could only nod their heads and promise to agree, waiting silently, hoping that Liu Sanfei and the others could discuss it sooner.

After repeating this several times, the sun had already set and the sky was already a little dark, but Zhang Laosan and Liu Sanfei still didn't come to a conclusion.

If you can prove that the hunter was your father, you can share the land here. If you can’t prove it, then this land belonged to the hunter. Whatever you say is not yours.

Liu Sanfei was so angry that he almost wanted to scold his mother, but because the yamen servants were watching, he didn't dare to scold, let alone do anything.

He knew that since what Zhang Yanjin said just now had already been made clear, as long as you dare to scold and do something today, I will put you in prison and see how you continue to make trouble.

At the end, someone in Danyang Village couldn't hold on anymore and said: "Master, I don't want that land anymore, let me go, I don't want it, they want it."

It was already getting dark, and they didn't have any horses to go back and forth. They relied on their two legs. They set off before dawn this morning. They haven't even drank a sip of water. Even if they go back now, they are afraid of going back. It's all going to be in the early hours of the morning, let alone delaying it later.

In addition, they saw that Liu Sanfei and the others couldn't argue for a reason, so they gave up.

As soon as the man begged for mercy, the others followed suit: "Master, we don't want the land anymore, we don't make trouble anymore, and we don't have anything to appeal. Your lord has a lot, let us go."

Looking at the villagers begging for mercy, Zhang Yanjin felt a bit of sadness in her heart.When these villagers got into trouble, they felt that they were more violent than the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu, but when they became violent, they couldn't hold on, and in the end they slavishly begged for help. They were really skinless, shameless and spineless.

This kind of cognition made Zhang Yanjin more determined to set up schools in various parts of Zhongzhou, but right now, the economy here must be developed first. After all, the warehouse knows the etiquette, and the food and clothing are enough to know the honor and disgrace.

After a while, only seven or eight of the forty or so people left, some of whom persuaded Zhang Laosan to give up going back.

After Liu Sanfei and the Xinyang patriarch drank the water brought by the clan, they didn't feel hungry at all, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became.

Finally, Old Zhang San said angrily: "Liu Sanfei, don't bully people just because you live here!"

"How do you talk?" The yamen servant at the side interrupted Zhang Laosan and said, "You said that you have something to report, and our lord and Yuanwai Lang are standing here waiting for you to talk. If you don't speak well, what do you mean by deliberately provoking? Yes Didn’t you come here today to disturb the law and order on purpose?”

Under Zhang Yanjin's arrangement, these yamen servants put one tall hat after another on Zhang Laosan and the others.

Zhang Yanjin looked at Zhang Laosan and his party calmly. Doesn't this Zhang Laosan like to talk about the high hat of government coercion and rebellion to suppress them?Then he will let him taste the taste of the high hat on the top of his head now.

Just when Zhang Laosan said that he would come back another day, the yamen officer stopped him again and said, "Aren't you here to appeal today? You have to make it clear once and for all according to the regulations. You still want to do it twice in three days because of your shitty matter." Come to make trouble? I think you are deliberately disrupting the government's handling of the case!"

What the yamen servant said was very clear, we will accompany you until you want to talk about it today, but if you don't seize the opportunity to explain things clearly today, you will have no chance in the future.

Of course, what the yamen servant wants to express more is that if you don’t make it clear today, there will be no such store after this village. If you make trouble again, it will be disturbing the law and order, and we will punish you according to the law!

Zhang Laosan was gasping for breath at the words of the yamen servant, but he couldn't say anything to refute.

The yamen servant was extremely cool, and he admired Zhang Yanjin to the extreme.It really deserves to be a person who has gone to Nanyang and experienced strong winds and waves, he is amazing!

Seeing that the sky was going to be dark, Zhang Laosan couldn't hold on any longer, so he turned around and was about to leave.

The yamen servant grabbed him and said, "Is it finished? Do you want to talk?"

Zhang Laosan grimaced and shook his head bravely.

Chen Su stood up, picked up the paper he had memorized all afternoon, and said, "Mr. Zhang, there is only one reason for you to say that this land belongs to your Danyang Villagers: the hunters of your Danyang Village used to build a simple house here. Is it this way?"

Zhang Laosan gave a gruff hum and stopped talking.

"But you have no way to prove that you are descendants of hunters. This reason is really unreasonable." Chen Su shook the ephedra papyrus in his hand.

Zhang Laosan stiffened his neck and didn't speak. He argued with Liu Sanfei and the patriarch of Xinyang all afternoon, and it was just this matter.

He thought it was the place where the people of his Danyang village used to live, and it was the land of their Danyang village. Now that a tea tree garden was built on it, it should be given to their Danyang village.

Liu Sanfei and the patriarch of Xinyang insisted that Zhang Laosan and the others were not the sons of hunters at all, and they didn't have a land deed, so all the land distribution was nonsense.

"Since there is no reason, then this matter will stop here. If you can prove that you are descendants of hunters, or you can get the authorization of hunters, give that piece of land to your Danyang Village, and mark it Regarding the area and area, you can come to the government to appeal at any time, how about I ask the officials in charge of planning to distribute that piece of land to you Danyang Village in person?" Zhang Yanjin saw that Zhang Laosan was at the end of his strength, so he stood up and said.

He knew that it was impossible for Zhang Laosan and the others to meet any of the two conditions he mentioned. When he said this, he just didn't say it to death, so that Zhang Laosan had at least a little thought in his heart. In this way, At least Zhang Laosan won't jump over the wall in a hurry, right?

Zhang Laosan and the others nodded with dark faces, then turned and left.

Seeing that the matter was over, the patriarchs of Nanyang and Xinyang immediately wanted to thank Zhang Yanjin, and then took the opportunity to curry favor with Zhang Yanjin.

I saw two old men who had passed forty years, with their black and yellow old faces full of wrinkles, they said: "My lord, thank you so much today, if it weren't for you, our land would have been given away by those people from Danyang Village." Spoiled."

Zhang Yanjin nodded. He knew that it was the common people's natural fear and fawning over the officials, and he didn't dislike it. After all, the common people in these valleys were not yet civilized, and as a superior, he really had nothing to gain. care about.

However, the people of Nanyang and Xinyang were angered by the people of Danyang Village today, so they took guys to fight this behavior. He really couldn't bear it. If he didn't correct it this time, there might be big troubles in the future.

You don't care about some things today, and you feel that they didn't fall on your head, but who can guarantee that they won't fall on you tomorrow?

Zhang Yanjin is not a vegetarian. Since he took over the work of rebuilding Zhongzhou, he has made up his mind to make the rebuilt Zhongzhou look brand new. This new look is not just a new look on the outside, but a new look inside and out.

He didn't want to see that day in the place under his jurisdiction, there were people who went to the horns and wiped their necks with knives.

"Liu Sanfei, Wang Erzhang, today you gathered the people to make trouble, and it almost turned into a brawl. As patriarchs, you two are guilty?" Zhang Yanjin said coldly.

Patriarch Liu Sanfei of Nanyang and Patriarch Wang Erzhang of Xinyang were frightened when they heard that their names were called.

However, the two quickly laughed and said: "My lord, it is true that we were wrong, we were convicted, but there was nothing we could do at that time?"

"No way?"

Zhang Yanjin put his hands behind his back, and said coldly: "Don't you know how to find the government? Or do you simply not pay attention to the government's laws and regulations?"

"Wei Lu Shu Yi" is the legal code of the Great Wei Dynasty, a newly established legal code since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty. "One" is a criminal code formulated with a total of thirty volumes.

It stipulates the basic laws and regulations, which is equivalent to the first chapter of later generations, and belongs to the general chapter of the code.Of course, "Wei Lv Shu Yi" is also detailed according to different parts, but Zhang Yanjin only needs to use "Wei Lv Shu Yi" to teach these ordinary people to know the law.

As expected, Liu Sanfei and Wang Erzhang were taken aback by Zhang Yanjin's question. I have to say that they really don't understand the law. They only know that killing people is against the law, and they really don't know anything else.

"Wang Erhu!" Zhang Yanjin said in a deep voice.

The head of the yamen servant, Wang Erhu, held a saber in his hand, hurried to Zhang Yanjin's side, stood at attention and said, "My lord, Wang Erhu is here!"

Wang Erhu has never felt as fulfilled as he is today. In places like Nanyang and Xinyang, he thought being a yamen servant was just dawdling, but today Zhang Yanjin let him see what it is like to be an official.

"Tomorrow, you will arrange for a gentleman to teach the people in Nanyang and Xinyang to learn the codes and regulations, and then conduct inspections to ensure that everyone who came to make trouble today can memorize them!" Zhang Yanjin ordered.

Wang Erhu was taken aback, it was the first time he had seen such a punishment, but he still agreed: "Yes!"

Liu Sanfei and Wang Erzhang looked at Zhang Yanjin's serious expression, and realized that Zhang Yanjin was not joking with them.

"My lord, the old man can't read at all, how can he learn?" Wang Erzhang was so worried that the creases on his face seemed to have increased.

Zhang Yanjin looked at Liu Sanfei and Wang Erzhang gently and said, "Don't worry, the gentleman you invited will teach you to read word by word until he teaches you."

After that, he turned his head to look at Wang Erhu who was still a little surprised and said, "Wang Erhu, you must put this matter into practice, and I will come to check it in a month."

Wang Erhu nodded quickly and said, "My lord, don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on each of them and let them all learn by heart."

After being surprised, Wang Erhu was secretly startled, they are grown-ups, regardless of their young age, but their methods are really sophisticated, and they are sure to catch people's weaknesses.

The villagers in these valleys are not afraid of work and suffering, because they have lived for most of their lives, they have suffered what they should have suffered, and they have done what they should do.Furthermore, there are hundreds of households in Nanyang and Xinyang, and there is no way to punish them. After all, the law does not punish the public.

But Zhang Yanjin was ingenious and asked these villagers to recite the code. For these villagers who did not know a single word, it would kill them.

The most important thing is that Zhang Yanjin also said that the inspection will be done after one month. That is to say, at the beginning, under his supervision, these villagers had to learn to recite the law code with the old scholar who was invited every day. After more than ten days, they After learning by heart, I still need to study from time to time to prevent Zhang Yanjin from coming to check.

For the people of Nanyang and Xinyang, this is probably more painful than a knife resting on their necks, right?With this once, I am afraid that they will know the law and abide by the law in the future, and will not commit another crime.

Thinking about it this way, their master's move is really high!

"Erlang, you really don't see blood in killing people!" On the way, when Chen Su thought about Zhang Yanjin actually asking those villagers to recite the code, he laughed so hard that his stomach hurts: "What do you think, that you want such a group of people to recite the code?" , they don't even know a single word!"

But he changed his mind, this is Zhang Yanjin's style of acting, isn't it?You never know which card he will play next, nor can you figure him out.

He stretched a lot, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face and said: "I never thought that being an official is like this. I used to see my father sitting in the study every day to deal with official documents, or in the office. Discussing with other ministers in the palace, I didn't expect that being an official can be like this, and you have to entangle with the people who are messing around."

"Local officials are like this. When decisions are made at the top, they must be implemented at the bottom. There is no way not to contact the people." Zhang Yanjin said casually: "Today what we have contacted is only the tip of the iceberg."

If you don't have contact with them, you will never know what kind of people you meet.There are all kinds of birds in the forest, and this sentence makes sense for all ordinary people.

At this time, it was completely dark, and the noon hot flashes were gone on the small road. The slightly hot summer wind was blowing slowly, which made people's hearts more peaceful.

Looking at the crescent moon faintly flashing behind the clouds, Zhang Yanjin let out a slow breath.

"What's the matter?" Chen Su looked at Zhang Yanjin's serious face, and restrained the smile on his face.

At this time, there were only the two of them left on the road. Just after the matter was resolved, Zhang Yanjin asked the rest of the officials to go home for dinner, and Huang Xiujun was sent back in the middle of the afternoon. After that, he and Chen Su walked slowly on the road.

"Don't you think Zhang Laosan and the others are really strange today?" Zhang Yanjin recalled that when he came, he heard the slogans Liu Laosan and the others chanted, and he felt more and more strange. Is it true that ordinary people, with their faces turned to the loess and their backs to the sky, would say the words of being unkind to officials, oppressing the people, and dying on the spot?"

Rao is that the villagers of Danyang Village have moved away from the mountainous area, but where can they move to?Haven't you moved from this remote mountainous area to another remote place?Where can they learn these big hats that are designed to suppress them, officials?

"That's right, ordinary people saw the officers and soldiers so frightened that their legs went limp, but today they showed no sign of fear at all, their tone was so arrogant, and they dared to openly throw stones to knock Huang Xiujun unconscious." Chen Su frowned. He said: "Erlang, do you mean that the villagers of Danyang Village were instructed by someone behind them to do this?"

Zhang Yanjin nodded without thinking, her face became more serious.This was also the reason why he couldn't relax even though the matter was clearly resolved.
