Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 179 Complaint
In Dengzhou, Ge Qing couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when he entered the city gate.Seeing pedestrians coming and going on the street, and roadside stalls everywhere, it looks extraordinarily prosperous.

Seeing a shop selling sesame seed cakes nearby, Ge Qing went to buy some sesame seed cakes, asked the store for a bowl of water, and squatted on the side of the road to eat.

After filling his stomach, Ge Qing stood up and stretched his arms, looked at the bright sun in the sky, and gritted his teeth.Find a passerby.Question: "Dare to ask my brother, I don't know how to get to the Criminal Division on South Jingxi Road?"

Passers-by looked at Ge Qing with curiosity.Pointing to the main street in front of him: "Go straight ahead, and when you reach the Yamen, turn east. About one mile away, you will be the Criminal Division."

Ge Qing thanked him, pulled away his big strides, and walked straight forward.When I arrived at the Criminal Division, there was only one soldier dozing off in front of the door.

Looking left and right, and then at the writing on the door, Ge Qing confirmed that he did not go to the wrong place.Going forward, he bowed his hands to the soldiers: "May I ask if this is the Criminal Division? Xiaomin Ge Xiong, a native of Luoshan County, Xinyang Army, has a lawsuit to sue."

The soldier opened his eyes and looked Ge Xiong up and down.Looking around again, he said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I came here to file a lawsuit. It's the first time I've seen it here. To tell you the truth, there's only one of them who was sentenced, and he's also the magistrate. How can the case be heard?"

Ge Xiongdao: "I've heard people say that there are prosecutors and clerks in the Criminal Prosecution Division. The Criminal Prosecution Division is too busy to handle, and there are always people in charge."

The soldiers shook their heads again and again: "I told you, there is only one prisoner inside. There is no prosecutor or judge."

Ge Xiong didn't give up, and said again: "It's good to have a punishment. Here is a case for the younger one, please pass it in if you want to return it."

The soldier lazily stood up, took the certificate and glanced at it.Said: "To be honest, this punishment was sent by the imperial court. He was the only one who came, without any officials or entourage. Our prefectures are under the supervision of the king. What's the use of officials from the imperial court? You are also the magistrate of the prefecture, but other people are in charge of the affairs of the prefecture. You are the first case to be brought up to the criminal department. According to me, if you really want to sue, you should go to the Yamen of this prefecture. .Come to the Criminal Division, who will try your case?"

Ge Xiong said: "The young one is suing the Zhijun of our army. This Zhijun is young and he is Wang Guan's confidant. Who will take care of him? If there is no punishment here, I can only swallow my anger."

Seeing Ge Xiong's insistence, the soldier didn't say much, and entered the gate with the certificate.

Wang Ruohai was sitting idle in the study.It's been a few days since I arrived in Dengzhou, but nothing happened.When he came here, Wang Xiaolie made it clear that Dengzhou's political affairs must follow the strict rules, and no changes are allowed.Those officials in the prefectural government don't ask themselves about major and minor matters, and handle them by themselves.When they reported something, they used the Zhizhou seal themselves.Wang Xiao recognized above, and no one else could do anything about it.For a prisoner, only a few soldiers sent to accompany him here, there are no officials or officials.After so many days, there is not a single lawsuit.

The soldier came to the study, crossed his hands and said: "Officer, a commoner came outside, said to be Ge Xiong, and there is a certificate to hand in."

"Number one?" Wang Ruohai stood up, frowning. "Bring it to me!"

The soldier handed over the certificate and stood aside curiously.

Wang Ruohai frowned even more when he read the contents of the certificate.

It is Zhang Jun, the Zhijun of the Xinyang Army, who is good at setting up forced reels and using his power to get money and things for begging.Ge Xiong is a big family in Luoshan County. There is a quality warehouse in the county town, and there are hundreds of acres of fertile land outside the city. The family lives in peace and beauty.When Zhang Jun arrived in the Xinyang Army, he suddenly went crazy. All the wealthy families in the Xinyang Army were charged with various crimes and squeezed money.Within a month or two, few were spared.

The same is true of Ge Xiong's family.First, the quality warehouse was confiscated, and hundreds of dollars were squeezed out.This is nothing, relying on the countryside, the Ge family is still a wealthy family.Just a month ago, Zhang Jun suddenly sent someone to the Ge family again, asking them to donate the extra land, leaving only [-] mu of land for him.If you don't donate the land, you have to pay the market price, which is equivalent to buying the land back.The father couldn't bear it, and had a big fight with Zhang Jun.He was arrested by Zhang Jun and taken into the yamen, where he was tortured severely.Not long after returning home, he couldn't make it through and died.

After reading the pleadings, Wang Ruohai couldn't help but widen his eyes. No matter what, he didn't believe that Zhang Jun would do such a thing.After getting in touch with Wang Xiaolie in the past few months, Wang Ruohai could feel that although he didn't understand many policies, Wang Xiaolie was an official who cared for the people.How could such a thing happen under his rule?Openly seizing people's property is not what Wang Xiaolie does.

Putting the certificate on the table, Wang Ruohai paced up and down in the study, puzzled.After thinking for a long time, he called Ge Xiong in and questioned him carefully, but what he said was still the same as in the certificate.

At this time, the prison and other facilities of the Criminal Division have been abandoned, Wang Ruohai can only let Ge Xiong live in an inn outside, and he will be there whenever he is called.

After seeing off Ge Xiong, Wang Ruohai sat at the table, frowning.

For Wang Ruohai, this case may not be complicated, but it is very difficult.Even if I found out the facts, what should I do?To catch Zhang Jun?Don't be kidding, without Wang Xiaolie's consent, Wang Ruohai wouldn't be able to bring a single soldier out of Dengzhou City.

How to do?Wang Ruohai tapped the paper on the table lightly, unable to make up his mind for a moment.I can pretend I didn't see this case, anyway, I'm just a nominal official with no real power.But when listening to Ge Xiong's narration, he was heart-piercing, how could he ignore him as a punishment?To manage, no authority.No matter, I can't let myself go.

After thinking for a long time, Wang Ruohai called the soldiers.Said: "Prepare the horses and go to Xinye this afternoon!"

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and said: "Officer, Xinye is not under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou now. Where are we going and what are we going to do?"

Wang Ruohai said angrily: "Zhi Zhi is training in Xinye, I have something to discuss with him. Just do what I tell you to do!"

The soldiers said: "The yamen sent young people here not only to serve the officials, but also to take care of the officials' safety. If you don't explain clearly, many things can't be done. It's not a trivial matter to go out of the city. Yes."

Wang Ruohai said: "I know you are watching me here, so what? Do you have to report everything I do?"

The soldier shook his head: "Where is the punishment going? When I came here, the superior just ordered me to take care of the safety of the officials. The rest of the things are in accordance with the practice of the punishment department. The practice of the punishment department is that you must inform the place when you go on tour."

Wang Ruohai waved his hands impatiently: "Go, prepare the horses quickly!"

Not long after, the horses came over, and Wang Ruohai brought five soldiers under him.Go to the inn to inform Ge Xiong, and go straight to Xinye.

Wang Xiaolie was discussing things with Shao Ling, and when he heard the news of Wang Ruohai's arrival, he said to Shao Ling: "After Wang Tixing arrived in Dengzhou, he sat in the criminal punishment department and read every day. He never had anything to do, and he lived in peace with me. Today, we must There is something big!"

Shao Ling said: "Wang Tixing is a scholar and doesn't like to make trouble. It's okay to come and observe occasionally."

Wang Xiaolie smiled, let Shao Ling go out, and ordered someone to bring Wang Ruohai in.

What kind of person is Wang Ruohai, Wang Xiaolie roughly knows.He came to Xinye suddenly, of course not to catch up with him.However, Dengzhou's political affairs were in charge, and Wang Ruohai didn't care about it, so what would happen if he came to see him?
