The county magistrate has no time to save the world

Chapter 63 The Efficiency of Chang'an's Work and the Procedures for a Lot of Money

Early the next morning, Qian Haoduo, who was frowning, and Tong'er, who was trembling, were sitting at the gate of the Chang'an County Government Office. Finally, when Zheng Nian walked over, staggering and humming, the two little things held each other's hands. Run to Zheng Nian.

"I just turned over a few mountains, hey, I crossed a few rivers~" Zheng Nian felt uncomfortable along the way, because every time he sang the first few mountains, someone would always call him Hey, but now I have to shout myself, which is quite embarrassing.

Jiang Ming stared blankly at Zheng Nian.

"After I've sung a few mountains, you can just call out." Zheng Nian ordered.

Jiang Ming is so smart, he nodded immediately, "Yes, master."

"Just climbed a few mountains."

"Hey, sir."

"No need to add titles." Zheng Nian emphasized.

Walking to the door, I saw two children who were not too old. Zheng Nian looked at the two of them. Qian was 16 years old. According to the logic of normal people, girls of the same age would develop faster than boys, so it must be tall.

But Tong'er, who is only nine years old, is on the same side as Qian Haoduo.

Zheng Nian was puzzled, "What are you two doing here?"

"The yamen is haunted by ghosts." Qian Haoduo lowered his head.

"We saw Master fishing!" Tong'er firmly believed that he was right.

Zheng Nian glanced inside, the master was indeed fishing, but he still insisted, turned his head and asked Jiang Ming, "Is the master there?"

"Hey!" Jiang Ming was a little nervous.

"Are you all okay today?" Zheng Nian ignored him, he saw that the people in the entire capital were abnormal, as long as there were no normal people around, it was considered a normal day.

"I have something to do!" Qian Haoduo said, "My lord, I need you to help me open the certificate. I went to the household department today to register for the widow. They said that I need registration, corpse records and husband and wife certificates from Chang'an and Changle counties."

Zheng Nian was a little puzzled, "Isn't it enough for me to drive alone?"

"Not enough. Carpenter Sun is from Changle County, but it doesn't matter. I asked brother Zhao Hu, and he has already opened it for me. Now it's up to the master." Qian Haoduo said.

So Zheng Nian went back to the study with a lot of money, and handed it to her after writing it according to the messy official document format she described.

After Qian Haoduo left, there were [-] or [-] heroic men beating drums and calling for grievances early in the morning. They were all restless things. When the ninth case was dealt with, Zheng Nian slumped on the chair, thinking about how to deal with it like this. is a way.

It happened that Xu Zhu strolled over with the bird cage.

Zheng Nianqi didn't come here, I have been busy all morning, are you here to walk the bird?So I thought about it, and called Jiang Ming, "Let's set up an office."

"Office?" Jiang Ming had never heard of this concept.

"It's enough to build a simple shed at the gate of the yamen, and let Xu Zhu sit in it. Except for homicide cases or cases involving... more than 20 taels of silver, Xu Zhu will handle the rest." Zheng Nian said.

Jiang Ming turned his head to look at Xu Zhu who was playing with the birds.

Xu Zhu: "Call, call, call!"

Bird: "Woooooooooooh~"

"I've seen him upset for a long time." Jiang Ming nodded.

So in the next few days, Xu Zhu's bird stayed in his crotch forever, inside the bird cage.

And he was sitting on a wooden bench, facing the endless waiting queue.

Qian Haoduo's affairs were not going well, and seeing Qian Haoduo crying again early this morning, Zheng Nian got angry and grabbed the official document in her hand, "Let's go, I'll take care of it with you."

The reception of the household department is not in the inner city, but an official building where six departments are gathered together. The location is obvious, in Beishi.

Beishi is larger than ordinary commercial shops, the difference is that Beishi is entirely a place for business and court offices, without a single residential building.And the shop can also sleep directly in its own shop.

Zheng Nian wore an official uniform and walked into the office building with a lot of money. When he saw Chang'an County's parents and officials here, a household order history appeared to welcome him.

Qian Haoduo has been here more than a dozen times in just half a month, but today is the first time he has entered Hu Lingshi's office, which is equivalent to receiving orders from a VIP. Not only is there a plate of melons and fruits received by the servants, but also a cup of hot tea .

Thinking that he almost froze to death outside a few days ago, Qian Haoduo took a look at Zheng Nian with lingering fear, the master is really kind.

He dug another look at the history of household orders, and cursed at the dog official in his heart.

But there was still a smile on his face.

"Master Zheng, this matter is not easy to handle." Hu Ling Shi Dao smashed a few teeth, "You and I are officials in the same dynasty and know that the laws of the Great Zhou are strict, and everything is planned. The case you handled, It is easy to explain to the higher authorities, but when the submission was made, the two carpenters died in Changle County."

"Does it matter?" Zheng Nian was puzzled.

"This has a lot to do with it. The case you supervised is naturally easy to handle. Jin Yiwei will handle it for you, but the two corpses in Changle County did not participate in the registration. I checked here and found that the corpses belonged to your Chang'an County. "

"Then just add it in?" Zheng Nian was puzzled.

"No, the quota is full." Hu Lingshi could see that his face was ugly, and he explained, "Chang'an County's quota for accidental deaths this month is already full. If it exceeds the quota, not only adults, you will have to downgrade your salary. We're going to sit right next to each other."

"And the bereaved husband also knows that if the widow is settled, the imperial court will give some silver subsidies... The quota is not easy to grab..."

Zheng Nian thought about it for a while, as if he had indeed heard such a thing, and he also judged that there were many accidental deaths, such as being scared to death by dogs, drinking and diarrhea. Unexpectedly, at the end of the day, he could not accommodate.

After thinking about it, I took out a tael of silver.

"Oh, there is still a quota, look, I missed it." Hu Lingshi laughed.

Zheng Nian also smiled.

Qian Haoduo took a look at Zheng Nian, "The master is quick in his work." '

He dug another look at the history of household orders, 'dog officer! '

The two went out, Hu Lingshi sent it out, and saw a woman wailing and crying in the aisle queuing up to go through the formalities.

Zheng Nian recognized this person, it was Wang Yangshi, so he turned his head and asked, "Shouldn't her formalities be easy?"

"Her widow procedures are easy to handle. After all, she is the victim in your case, my lord. But she also applied for sacrificing her husband, which is to be buried with her. This is an issue of etiquette, which involves the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Rites came to communicate with us yesterday to encourage such Behavior, belonging to a chaste martyr, can lead to the idea of ​​a loose-selling whore.”

Hu Lingshi said calmly, "But after the Ministry of Punishments agreed with us, we can only give her one place to commit suicide by throwing herself into the river next month. This still costs some money."

Speaking of this, Hu Lingshi sighed, "Just thinking about building a chastity archway by myself, these widows never thought of bringing much trouble to our work."

Qian Haoduo is a sentimental and imaginative Pisces. Occasionally when he hears others scolding others, he often brings it into himself.

So he glanced at the household Lingshi again, and cursed in his heart, 'Dog official, dog official, dog official! '

After finishing his business, Qian Haoduo sympathized with Wang Yangshi, so he bid farewell to Zheng Nian and rushed to accompany Wang Yangshi.

"Oh...husband...I'm so...huh?" Wang Yangshi had just returned the pear blossoms with rain, but when he saw the money, he broke his tears into a smile and wiped away his tears, "Are you done?"

The two have been meeting each other for the past few days, and Qian Haoduo nodded, "I'm done, why do you have to apply for martyrdom? If you really want to die, wouldn't it be over if you kill yourself with the knife?"

Wang Yangshi looked around, covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice, "Sister, you don't know, I wiped my neck with this knife, if it exceeds the quota, no matter how much it costs, it will be thrown away in a mass grave. There is also a blind old man who burns the corpses every month, I heard that he will take the beautiful corpses back to his home..."

"Huh~"

"Huh~"

Both of them trembled.

"Then you'd better follow the procedure, I'll accompany you." Qian Haohao said righteously.

As a result, this day was even busier than her four or five days.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites scolded with the official document, "Didn't you be approved for throwing yourself into the river, why did you still write poison on the form? If Sangong counts it, we will go back for retrial, and we will have to work again."

In fact, the officials at the lower levels of the Ministry of Rites didn't know that under An Wenyue's command, San Gong was now on idle errands, playing with his grandson's dick in the courtyard of Nuo Da at home when he had nothing to do, and had no time to care about such crap.

But rules are still rules.

So I went through the procedure again, but in the end, because the font was not used in Gongkai, and there were two wrong characters with traces of modification, I was forced to go through another cycle.

Everyone in the office building was scolded by Qian Haoduo seven times on average, 'dog officer' and two adults' special words, 'shabi'

Qian Haoduo has been wondering which two words they are. It seems that she will have to ask the adults for advice later. She feels that these two words have magical powers, as if they were carved into her bones, and they are very easy to use.

Finally, when it came to the part of martyrdom and stamping, the leader of that line looked like an army going out to crusade against Northern Qi. It took a lot of money to find out that there were so many widows in the capital.

"It takes at least half an hour for a person to review, just wait." Wang Yangshi didn't care, and there was a smile on his face.

Qian Haoduo was puzzled, "Aren't you going to die for love, why are you still so happy?"

"Sister, you don't understand." Wang Yang pointed to the front, "This team is full of chaste and martyred women, not only can we express our condolences to our husband, but also let others know that we are loyal people."

"What's the use of that?" Qian Haoduo asked.

"I've gone through the formalities for more than half a month, and I'm so troublesome. I've forgotten about my husband." Wang Yang said in a low voice.

"Then why are you still here?" Qian Haoduo was a little puzzled, but his doubts were immediately resolved.

Wang Yangshi pointed to the dudes in front and said, "Look at them."

"Little lady, do you still miss your husband?" A dandy disciple asked.

"The longing is so sick, I can't live anymore." A widow cried bitterly.

"I'll marry you. Seeing how beautiful you are, I treat you better than your husband, so you can forget about him." The dude vowed.

"Okay." So the widows in the queue stepped out and followed the man.

The money is so dazed.

"Look at the front, no one cares about it. The probability of remarrying on this road is very high. If you don't get caught up after walking this road, you might as well die!" Wang Yangshi said.

Qian Haoduo was about to continue asking when a tall scholar who was only eighteen or nineteen years old came over and asked Wang Yangshi, "I saw a little lady in the distance..."

"I am willing!" Wang Yang cried.

The two left hand in hand.

Qian Haoduo took a deep breath, but the colleague who came with the scholar stood beside him, and he smiled slightly, "This girl..."

"Brave pen!" Qian Haoduo ran away in a flash.
