I have the best bloodline.

"Huh? What are you doing?"

Su Yan landed on the backyard of the government office, thinking about what Taishi Jin had said in his heart. He originally planned to go back to the dormitory to take a bath, change clothes, and then have a good sleep.

But as soon as he arrived at the backyard of the government office, he saw Zhou You, County Lord Luanming, Feng Shiqi, and Qingya's group who did not manage the government affairs of Flower City, all gathering in the pavilion to read Xia Yu's laws and local laws.

"Yo~"

When Zhou You saw Su Yan coming back, he raised his hand, said hello to Su Yan, and said:

"It's nothing big, it's just a case that has no precedent, so we look around the law to see how the punishment can be imposed."

"Why is this case so expensive?" Su Yanluo squatted down in the backyard and touched the little fox he adopted into the government office and asked curiously.

"It's just a wealthy landowner. He married three wives and gave birth to four daughters."

"This shouldn't be illegal, right?" Su Yan asked.

County Lord Luanming shook his head and said: "Of course it's not a crime. As long as you pay taxes according to the amount when you take a concubine, it's legal. The real problem lies behind. The old man is also despicable enough to let his concubine pretend to be a widow and run into a wine shop to deceive those who are greedy for beauty. The young men who wanted sex and money went to the landowner Lao Cai's field to plow the soil. After finishing the work, the landowner Lao Cai jumped out and said that the young men had violated Xia Yu's law by seducing wives, and threatened to throw them away. Just spend a few taels of money to get rid of those young people.”

"Those young people were so angry that they came to our office in the afternoon and said harshly that they wanted justice even if they were stripped naked and paraded through the streets."

Su Yan looked stunned, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence through his teeth: "The operation is so sexy!"

This landlord, Lao Cai, is also a talented person. Xia Yu's Law has only been implemented here not long ago. Most people have not even read Xia Yu's Law. That Lao Cai can come up with such a slutty idea to defraud young people.

I have to say, he is really a talent! It would be a shame not to come to the Floral Bureau to apply for a job as a master.

"The relationship is too messy, and we don't have any good standards for punishment at the moment. There are more than 20 people involved in the case, including eight people from the landlord and wealthy family. Not only his concubine, but also his daughter went out to cheat. When people come back to plow the fields, the young people are still preparing to claim compensation for lost work time.”

Zhou You was filled with surprise and complained.

Ah, I was originally going to go to bed at four o'clock. However, after cooking and eating at night, I went straight to the toilet and ran for more than two hours in a row. I almost took the dog in the toilet, which caused a delay.

Chapter 327 Da Xia Xing, Wu Sheng Emperor!

"How to sentence him? It must be a severe sentence! Lao Cai's behavior is a provocation! Its nature is so bad that he should be used as an example to give him a heavy sentence to warn those who want to use it to cheat!"

After listening to Zhou You and County Chief Luanming's explanation, although Su Yan admired the landlord Lao Cai for his wit and knowing how to study Xia Yu's laws and find loopholes to benefit himself, Su Yan still felt that the sentence should be harsh.

Young men who spy on married women should be paraded in the street; married women who lie about being widowed to seduce young and strong men should be sentenced to cane punishment; and the daughters of wealthy landlords must be sentenced to fraud and receive large fines!

Because Xia Yu's laws belong to the bottom line, and as a county magistrate who is also a parent official, he not only needs to consider the legal matters, but also the public opinion turmoil caused by the incident of landlord Lao Cai.

Now that Xia Yu's Law has just been implemented, you guy just gave me a loophole, right?

After calculating the cost of fraud and the cost of hiring tenant farmers, he came up with such a bad idea. It was not a loss anyway. Su Yan felt that if there was no heavy sentence, this matter would definitely arouse some careful thoughts of other big landowners and use deception to defraud. The young men went to work in their own fields.

Anyway, the cost of breaking the law and violating discipline is low. After the revelation of the incident, the government agencies imposed heavy fines, which means no profit or loss. As long as the deception is successful once, it will be a bloody profit.

It's very fun to earn money without conscience.

"We think so too, but the real problem lies here. We must give them heavy sentences to demonstrate the rigor of our Xia Yu laws."

County Lord Luanming had no choice but to say: "But Lao Cai's concubine took the initiative to take all the responsibilities and plucked all the landowner's wealth. We stayed up most of the night just to find the right law and pluck all the landowner's wealth." The landlords and wealthy people were also dragged out and sentenced severely.”

They had similar ideas to Su Yan and believed that this case should be judged as a model.

In addition to the laws promulgated by Emperor Wusheng, Xia Yu also had some local laws. As a parent official, the county magistrate not only had to impose punishments according to the laws, but also needed to be considerate of the people's sentiments and pay attention to local laws, and make a decision based on all factors. To pronounce a sentence is not to say that he will be killed with a stick.

Otherwise, if public dissatisfaction boils over and the Demon Suppressor is summoned, the county magistrate will be tried more severely, and a person who knows the law and breaks the law will be slapped on his head, and he will die without knowing how.

Hmm. Humane law enforcement, if you don’t have humanity, the people may invite more brutal demon-suppressing officers to kill the previous county magistrate on the spot and make way for the lieutenant.

"What we are worried about now is that everyone with a clear eye can see that it is the landlord Lao Cai who instigated his concubine to commit the crime, but there is no evidence for us to give him a sentence!" Zhou You said with a look of displeasure on his face: "If it doesn't work, we can just detain him. It would be nice to give him a good beating to stop public dissatisfaction.”

After hearing this, Su Yan pondered for a long time and said, "In fact, we don't need to charge him with anything. I will come directly to check his account books and pay taxes."

"No, no, no, of course I know that a guy like him must be cautious, but we don't need to find any crimes. When we have nothing to do, let the yamen runners come to his house to check his account books. When checking the accounts, let all the workers and tenants in his family stop their work."

"A small check every three days and a big check every five days. It doesn't matter whether we find anything or not. Just treat it as a holiday for our yamen runners to find a place to escape the heat and drink tea and eat fruit."

Su Yan couldn't help but sneered as he said this. As the official office of Xia Yu stationed in the flower area, it didn't have any power because of clan autonomy in the past, but now the flower office is different from the past. You can check it if you say so, and you don't even need to produce any evidence.

Go against the official office? Can you fight against the 300,000 Red King Army that the Red King illegally expanded, or can you kick the Wusheng Emperor off the throne?

"Before the court tomorrow, let's say a few words to that rich old man. If he doesn't want our office to go to his house every day to check his account books and use the crystal to record his nighttime happiness with his wives and concubines, let him honestly admit his crimes, sit in jail for three to five months, and then pay a fine of spiritual stones to get out of jail."

"Are you being arrogant?" Luanming County Lady had a black line on her forehead: "Aren't you afraid that he will appeal?"

Su Yan waved his hand and said, "It's okay. If the landlord really appeals, I'm familiar with the Minister of Justice."

"Puchi. Hahaha."

Zhou You couldn't help but laugh. He thought Su Yan had some way to make the landlord voluntarily admit all the charges and not go to the main city of Xiayu to appeal afterwards. It turned out that this was how it was solved.

This time, the evil ones really have their own evil ones to deal with, and the local hooligans met the mountain bandits.

"Since the problem has been solved, don't look at those broken books. Just judge according to the current situation in court. If the landlord is not honest and acts like a scoundrel, I will go to his house and make trouble with him."

Luanming County Lady closed the book. It was really difficult to find a flaw to drag him to the court for trial without some tricks to deal with these treacherous people.

Thinking of this, Luanming County Lady couldn't help but sigh. It was the first time for a public trial. She was still thinking about judging the landlord seriously through the law. Unexpectedly, she still needed to use some tricks in the end.

"Everyone should rest early! Before the public trial tomorrow morning, we still need to replace the gate seat in front of the government office with our nine-tailed fox statue of Xia Yu."

The flower area believes in the Holy Spirit and the Mountain God. The Holy Spirit is responsible for the good weather and the Mountain God is responsible for making the soil fertile.

In front of the doors of the landlords and gentry in the flower area, there are basically a pair of holy spirits and mountain gods. Most of the door seats are buried in the ground to support the doorposts, revealing the holy spirit in the shape of white clouds and the mountain god in the shape of trees.

In this way, the town can be safe and secure, and it can also pray for good weather and good fortune in the coming year.

However, since Xia Yu took over the flower industry, the holy spirit and mountain gods can be placed, but they must not be placed in front of the official office that symbolizes Xia Yu's face. As Xia Yu's official office, it is natural to put two majestic nine-tailed fox statues.

………………

Su Yan returned to the bedroom and first put the little dragon girl who was sleeping like an eel in his arms on the bed, and then went to bed to rest after taking a bath and changing clothes.

Of course, Su Yan still maintained his human form. When he was sleeping in the Moon Rabbit Clan’s territory, he was bitten a little when he was in the form of a little fox. The swelling for several days made Su Yan alert, worried about encountering the crazy mosquitoes again, so he changed into a human form and put on a light dress to sleep.

With the arrival of the Lord of the Night, Su Yan slept dreamlessly until the next day.

The Lord of the Night looked at the sky before dawn, looked outside the door with a puzzled look, and went into the void.

"Bang bang bang, brother Su, are you up? We need to prepare to invite the nine-tailed fox statue to come."

Zhou You's shouting came from outside the door. The auspicious time for placing the nine-tailed fox statue was about to come, but Su Yan had not come out of the dormitory. Zhou You took the initiative to knock on the door of Su Yan's dormitory and asked Su Yan to get up and get ready.

"Ah"

Su Yan opened his eyes in confusion, responded to Zhou You's call outside the door, yawned and said:

"Well, no matter how good the nest is, it's still not as comfortable as my own fox den."

Su Yan slept very comfortably, and didn't even notice that the sky was getting brighter, which almost caused him to forget the important matter of placing the stone statue this morning.

Su Yan simply washed up and ran to the door of the government office to watch the placement of the nine-tailed fox stone statue.

There were tributes and some incense and candles on the altar in front of the government office. Two nine-tailed fox stone statues have been placed in front of the flower official office. The two foxes are sitting on the stone seat in a squatting posture. The nine tails behind them are not standing tall, but curled up beside them in a more casual and relaxed manner.

The heads of the two nine-tailed foxes are tilted towards the door, as if looking at the pedestrians coming and going in the government office.

The nine-tailed fox stone statues, in general, have a lot of curved shapes, deliberately reducing the ferocious feeling that the nine-tailed fox's face and body may present, but when people see them, they can feel that the two nine-tailed fox stone statues are relaxed and leisurely.

As if they are looking down on the world.

"Let's prepare to burn incense."

The Luanming County Lord picked up the altar incense and candles and began to distribute incense to the county magistrates and yamen runners, preparing to complete the process of offering incense to the nine-tailed fox stone statues after everyone has finished worshiping together.

"I won't burn incense."

Su Yan looked at the two stone statues that were more than two meters high, and a trace of expectation appeared on his face. He refused the incense and candles handed over by Luanming County Lord, took two steps at a time, ran to the shoulders of the nine-tailed fox stone statue, and took a deep breath.

When the incense was at its peak, Su Yan suddenly opened his mouth and shouted like a fox:

"Daxia is prosperous, Wusheng Emperor!"

At such a suitable moment for playing memes, Su Yan really couldn't hold back his eagerness, and ran to the shoulders of the nine-tailed fox to play the harmless old meme.

Luanming County Lord and Zhou You were stunned, but after thinking about it, they felt that the words Su Yan said seemed quite appropriate, so they led the yamen runners to shout the words Su Yan said while burning incense: Daxia is prosperous, Wusheng Emperor!

"Daxia is prosperous, Wusheng Emperor!"

The nine-tailed fox stone statue is located in front of the government office, representing that Xia Yu officially included the flower district in his sphere of influence.

Woo woo woo, completely useless.

Because of my fair skin, I have been mistaken for a girl many times. Today, I had to attend a banquet, so I went to get my hair cut.

Woohoo. I disliked the way my hair was usually cut too far apart, so I went to a new shop near my home to get it cut.

Then I became a spirited young man. It was too late to shave my hair because I had to rush to attend the banquet. Wow, if I had known this, I would have gone with my hair tied up.

The ultimate social death.

Chapter 328: Foxes in business

"Swoosh"

After worshipping the nine-tailed fox statue in front of the government office, the government office returned to its normal work routine. The government officials went to the backyard martial arts field for morning exercises, and after the exercises, they lined up in the cafeteria waiting for breakfast.

Su Yan and Zhou You stood in front of the government office, talking about something leisurely, and then saw the landlord Dai family and his group of hired lawyers coming to the door.

As a landlord in the flower area, he still has some privileges. Before the county magistrate pronounces his guilt, he and his family do not need to be detained in the cell to await trial and can go home.

The government office is not afraid that the Dai family will run away, because their family's fields and property will be confiscated.

Thanks to the nature of Xia Yu's law that is obsessed with money, most illegal and disorderly behaviors can be settled with spiritual stones.

After Su Yan saw the Dai family, he whistled at him to attract the attention of the Dai family.

"Yo~ County Magistrate Su, I'm sorry."

When the landlord Dai saw Su Yan, he was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and raised his hand to greet him.

When Su Yan and Zhou You first came to the Flower City, they often went to the countryside to investigate the farming situation. The land in the flower area was basically held by the landlords and some clans. After a few visits, Su Yan and Zhou You basically met most of the landlords in the flower area.

Although they were not particularly familiar with each other, they could still greet each other when they met.

"Old Dai! You said that this incident caused you to make trouble."

Su Yan did not speak in front of the door. He raised his hand and motioned Old Dai to move to the inner hall to talk:

"We have decided to use your case as a model for public trial."

The landlord Old Dai was stunned when he heard this and said, "What are you talking about, Magistrate Su? I didn't break the law! My wife is at most a fraud. I understand. I will pay three times the fine to Xia Yu with the actual benefits."

If the illegal income from Xia Yu is found, it is necessary to pay three to five times the fine to Xia Yu.

Old Dai has calculated it all. He indicated that his wife deceived more than ten people to work as helpers in the fields. The salary of the helpers was no more than half a tael of silver per person per day, and three times was one and a half taels per day.

Compared with renting out the fields to tenants in the past, the income he obtained far exceeded Xia Yu's fine.

At most, he would pay some fines to save his wife from caning and imprisonment.

"No, no, no, you don't know what a model is or what a public trial is."

Su Yan raised his hand to interrupt Lao Dai, pointed to his regular clothes and said: "I haven't changed into the county magistrate's clothes yet, so I'll explain to you briefly. The meaning of the so-called model and public trial is to be severe and strict, and it will only appear in some events that may cause public outrage."

"Whether it is Xia Yu's law or local laws, in some cases, they cannot resist the word "public opinion", and what we are emphasizing now is humanity. Even if you pick up a small thing like a copper coin, as long as it will cause public outrage, you will be sentenced to death no matter how big or small it is!"

"?!"

An exclamation mark popped up on the head of the lawyer, and he raised his hand and pointed at himself.

"As a lawyer, you know the law and break it, so your crime is naturally aggravated. You will be beheaded in front of the market!" Zhou You raised his hand and patted the lawyer's shoulder, saying: "You should write a suicide note before the public trial begins! So that your family members will not fight over the family property after you die."

Lawyer: "."

Outrageous, are you doing this according to the law? Even the lawyer was killed?

"Susu County Magistrate, are you kidding? If you are short of money, you can just say it directly, and you won't raise such a small matter to such a high level to make a judgment, right?" Old Dai saw that Su Yan's expression did not seem to be fake, and he panicked a little, but he still calmed down and prepared to negotiate.

"Do you know the historical background of the public trial?" Su Yan shook his head and said, "The background of the public trial can be traced back to the ascension of His Majesty the Emperor Wusheng, who established the Demon Suppression Division with the function of inspecting the dignitaries of the Xia Yu Dynasty."

"Once a county magistrate in a certain place fails to govern well, it will cause public resentment and attract the investigation of the Demon Suppression Division. If the Demon Suppression Division finds out something, the target of the dismemberment in front of the vegetable market will be our local county magistrate. The parent official fails to manage well and acts recklessly, and must be sentenced to death, otherwise it will not be enough to appease the public anger and resentment."

Su Yan shook his head and said, "Everyone cherishes their lives, so there are some unwritten rules in the court. If the county magistrate notices that something is wrong in the jurisdiction, he needs to push some guys to appear for public trial to quell the public grievances and anger."

"You also know the situation in our Flower City. We have just experienced a full-scale war. The people are already resentful because of the loss of property. From the Red King to us, we are all working hard to create jobs and spend our money to relieve the public grievances and anger. Do you think it is cheap to build roads for the people?"
