Wearing a county magistrate to build infrastructure

With Zhou Nanchuan, the former boss of the county government, taking the lead in speaking, the people below naturally could only follow Zhou Nanchuan's words. Tang Zisheng stood on the steps and saw some people in the scene whose faces were turning green. On weekdays, the relationship with Zhou Xiancheng is not very good.

"Then let's go. When I came to the county yamen before, I saw that because I hadn't arrived yet, the yamen was too busy to accept cases behind closed doors. It must have piled up a lot by now. If someone comes to beat the drums later, don't worry about it." Stop again.

I can let go of the past for what happened before. If I find out that someone has neglected their duties and violated their duties, I will be careful whether the board will fall on you. "

The words of kindness and power made both Detective Wang and Zhao Detective standing below in the Zaoli team break into cold sweats. The county magistrate was reminding them.

"Yes."

After Tang Zisheng heard the neat answers, he nodded in satisfaction, and added another sentence when he was about to enter the room, "All the scribes from the Sixth House of Subordinates will come over later, I have something to ask."

In a word, let the clerks who were standing there look at me and I look at you. As the saying goes, there are three fires when a new official takes office, and this new county magistrate is going to take them out.

Sitting in front of the table, Tang Zisheng glanced at the six people standing in front of him. He recognized all the subordinates in the sixth house, and three of them had clearly shown favor to him, and they were helping the country gentry.

"Your Excellency, don't you know what you can do with me?" the household clerk bit the bullet and asked a step forward.

"It's not a big deal." Tang Zisheng clicked a file on the case table, "It's just that the Japanese officials came across a murder case file two days ago when they were familiar with the official procedures of the county government. They felt a little strange, so they wanted to ask Ask you."

"Your Excellency, you are joking. Cang'er County has not had a human life lawsuit in the past three years." Hu Shu was not confident when he said this, because he knew that Tangzhi County was talking about the murder case three years ago.

"Indeed, this case happened three years ago. I see that the closing statement in the case file was written by the clerk of the criminal room, so I plan to ask." Tang Zisheng kept staring at the scribe of the criminal room as he spoke.

The scribe, surnamed Wu, was an old man in the Yamen of Cang'er County. He was in charge of the six-room prison in Cang'er County. During this time, he sent away many county magistrates.

"My lord, what my lord should be talking about is the incident of a woman in Qinghe Village being thrown into the water three years ago." Wu Xing's expression remained unchanged. He has been rooted in Cang'er County for so long, so he is naturally not afraid of a new county magistrate.

"No." Tang Zisheng put away the idle sitting posture before, and threw the dossier in front of Wu Xingshu, "I'm talking about the gentry woman in Cang'er County, but the county government didn't do anything, so the woman had no choice but to throw herself into the water. case."

The county magistrate got angry, and the six people present immediately knelt down. They knew in their hearts that what the county magistrate said was about the woman who threw water, but here in Tangzhi County, the matter had already been determined and they could not defend themselves.

"I only read less than ten files, and the evidence in three of them was insufficient, so the case was closed. Coincidentally, these three cases involved well-known people in Cang'er County. You said that I am To flip or not to flip?"

"My lord, calm down, this case has been closed for a long time, even if you have doubts, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find evidence."

The official secretary answered the question, but the meaning couldn't be clearer. I hope Tang Zisheng will not meddle in his own business.

Tang Zisheng was not threatened. It seemed that everyone in the Cang'er county government ganged up with each other, but in fact it was a mess.

It would be difficult if they were determined to exclude him from the beginning.But now they each have their own discord, and it only takes a little bit to make this mess even worse.

"The six offices of officials, soldiers, households, rites, punishments, and workers were set up to help a county magistrate share things, just because they are not ranked. Therefore, the imperial court naturally does not issue Fengyin, and receives a meager salary every month. Silver is having a hard time."

When the six scribes heard Tang Zisheng's turn of the conversation, they immediately shuddered, and the meaning was obvious.If you don't investigate the old cases, you can only investigate the old people.

It just so happened that they couldn't stand the investigation.

"My lord is serious. It is our good fortune to be able to share the worries of the court."

"Since it's a blessing, let's re-investigate the case I mentioned now. If the final result of the case is not to my liking, it means that you are not capable enough to share the worries of the court. In my opinion, I should resign from this position earlier and go home to work in agriculture. In case we occupy the county government's staff and still not be able to do the facts." Tang Zisheng threw up his sleeves and walked out the door after giving the order.

The clerks of the sixth room looked at each other, and finally got up and left resentfully.

Tangzhi County wants to take the squires who have been domineering in Cang'er County for these years, and now they are the swords in the hands of Tangzhi County.If you don't follow Tang Zhixian's thoughts, I'm afraid they will break them and recast new knives.

After leaving the room, Tang Zisheng went to Zhou County Prime Minister, and explained the matter to Zhou Nanchuan clearly.

After listening to what Tang Zisheng said, Zhou Nanchuan didn't know how to react to Tang Zisheng's outspoken behavior for a while, and the only words that could describe it were simple and rude.

No wonder it is said that the officials and senior officials crush people to death. This is forcing the subordinates in the county government who have colluded with the gentry over the years to make a choice.

"As soon as you come here, you will provoke the squires in Cang'er County. Are you afraid that they will jump over the wall?" Zhou Nanchuan was able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai in Cang'er County because of his family connections.

So although most people in the county government don't listen to him, they don't dare to provoke him easily, but Tang Zisheng...

"The dog jumping over the wall is nothing more than trying to kill me, but my official position is the Nanzhou County Guard. If I am injured in the slightest, not to mention Cang'er County, even the entire Xizhou will be strictly investigated."

Tang Zisheng was full of nonsense. Although this official position was indeed bought from the Nanzhou Sheriff, but the Nanzhou Sheriff can sell so many official positions in a year, who remembers who Tang Zisheng is, maybe he died According to the news, the sheriff of Nanzhou is also happy to free up another official position that can be resold.

"I don't believe it." Zhou Nanchuan knew that there must be a big tree behind Tang Zisheng's sudden becoming magistrate of Cang'er County.

But if it was really the sheriff of Nanzhou, how could he throw Tang Zisheng to such a place where no shit.

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, as long as they believe it." Tang Zisheng narrowed his eyes.

As early as yesterday when he sent Tang Mo to buy someone, he asked him to spread some rumors about a big tree standing behind him. The subordinate officials who have been there for more than ten years know it well.

"You should bring more people with you these days." Zhou Nanchuan was not as optimistic as Tang Zisheng seemed, and it seemed that he was not at ease with these subordinate officials in the county government.

"It's been arranged a long time ago." Tang Zisheng still cherished his life, but he didn't want to live again, and he was hacked to death before he could find anything new in his life.

That was much worse than dying in the previous life.

"By the way, I looked at the tax situation in the yamen before, and the accounts above have been tampered with." Tang Zisheng looked at the yamen's public accounts, and they were pitifully small.

"I've done it, but not much." Taxation is indeed a lucrative job, but if you sneak in the next part of the east and west when you handle it, it's enough to spend for several years.

It's just that the annual grain production in Cang'er County is extremely low, and most people can't even pay their taxes. Even if they want to play tricks on it, they may not be able to swallow much.

"I can't earn money from taxes, so I made the idea of ​​filial piety. It's not a lie to clear the magistrate for three years and get a hundred thousand snowflakes."

Unfortunately, these people happened to run into him short of money, so how they got it before, they spit it out for him now.

-

For the time being, I live step by step.

In recent days, the clerks of the Sixth House frequently went in and out of the county government, and Tang Zisheng noticed it all.Especially when these clerks looked at him more and more complicatedly, Tang Zisheng knew that the matter was probably done.

Cang'er County has a backlog of sloppy and closed cases. He deliberately singled out these three cases because the perpetrators were all killed.

As for the credit for the money that was stolen from the house, he is the only one who can recruit troops, isn't it?

"Master, Lord Zhou told you to be careful tonight." Tang Mo called Zhou Nanchuan back and passed on the message.

"Well." Tang Zisheng had been prepared for a long time. Those clerks should not be able to do anything, but the desperate gentry may not be sure. "After lighting all the lights in the house, go back to the room with them. No matter what you hear Don't make any movement."

"Yes, young master." Tang Mo suppressed the complicated look on his face. He didn't know when, that dandy young master who had been having fun in Nanzhou all day long seemed to have changed, which made Tang Mo feel a little strange.

But it must be very gratifying for the young master who is doing serious things to be known by the master and wife in the spirit of heaven.

Silent night.

In addition to the Zaoli team in the third shift of the county government office, there are people on duty at night, and everyone else goes to bed early.

At this time, a few black shadows were hiding in the dark, like a gust of wind, bypassing the guard who was dozing outside, and sneaked over the wall and entered the house.

Tang Zisheng was sitting in the house. The money can solve part of the problem for the time being, and the rest is food.

The grain output in Cang'er County has been low year after year, because none of the crops today can produce a large amount of grain. The best way is to find some high-yield crops to introduce, so that the food problem can be perfectly solved.

It's just that this era is not the historical era he was in before, and I don't know if these grains can be found in this era.

Now he can deduce that these things should not be found in the mainland of Dayu. Xizhou and Beizhou have vast territories, but most of the people living in these two states do not have enough to eat.

If there were such edible crops in Dayu, they would have been discovered long ago. Now that they are still starving and dying everywhere, it can be seen that these crops do not grow here.

Going to the sea to find these seeds is actually a way, but for him at present, it is better to go up the mountain to find other crops that can temporarily replace potatoes and sweet potatoes.

"There are assassins, protect your lord."

Tang Zisheng's thoughts were interrupted by shouts outside the door, followed by a commotion outside, which sounded like the footsteps of seven or eight people mixed together.

After a while of soldiers banging, the outside finally became quiet.

Only then did Tang Zisheng come out from the unlit room next to him, and looked at the room next door, "How many assassins are there?"

"My lord, a total of three people have been arrested." Although Detective Wang is just dawdling in the county government, who made him be targeted by Xinzhi County? It doesn't mean that he and Xiao Zhao have already ambushed in the county magistrate's mansion For several days, the purpose was to catch these assassins who were about to assassinate and regain the favor of the county magistrate, so that they would not have a sad life in the future.

"Send it to the torture room for interrogation, and tell Wu Xingshu that if he fails to interrogate the mastermind behind the scenes, his life as a Xingshu will be over." Tang Zisheng slid his gaze over the three assassins.

They are all strong and strong people, which are somewhat different from the assassin he imagined.But I also thought that Cang'er County was barren, and it was not easy to find assassins, so there were so many requirements.

"Yes, my lord."
