Chapter 257 The body is not moving, the head is far away
Bao Yintian smiled and said, if you are a good at making money by being an official, you have to take him as your teacher.
Min Qiuye picked up the wine glass and played with it. After all, everyone is an official in the same province. If you can help each other, you can help each other. It is better to be close neighbors than distant relatives. Everyone is under the nose. If anyone makes any trouble, just cover up if you can help, right?
If you are not smiling in the clouds, what do you mean by adults? We should eat the king’s salary, share the worries for the king, and be an official and the people. This is our duty.
Min Qiuye put down his wine glass. There were many cases here, so we would not disturb him. By the way, when the mansion was inquired about Lord Yang not long ago, he accidentally found that Lord Bao had gone to the brothel with Lord Yang to drink flower wine. What should I do?
Bao Yintian said that everyone is a scholar, drinking, visiting prostitutes, writing poetry and singing, and doing elegant things. Lord Min won’t punish Bao for this matter, right?
Min Qiuye said that this is naturally not true. If you are an official and do not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home to sell sweet potatoes, and you will not prostitute. It is better to go home to sell ginger than to prostitutes. However, as far as I know, you go to the brothel to drink flower wine. The one who pays for you is the butler of the Former Shu King, Lord Bao, come and teach me, how should I write the memorial?
Now in Sichuan, it can be said that the King of Shu is afraid of talking about the King of Shu. After the rebellion of the King of Shu last year, the court's purge of the officialdom for a whole year was full of wind and wind, and all the yamen were full of soldiers, for fear of having anything to do with the King of Shu.
Hearing this, Bao Yintian's face changed drastically and he knelt on the ground. The subordinate officials were willing to serve Lord Min. Min Qiuye quickly helped him up. Lord Bao was unable to do this. Now the Japanese officials are not here to seek punishment.
Bao Yintian asked, "Do you want to?"
Min Qiuye smiled. In the case of Yang County Magistrate, the evidence I have obtained from my official dismissal of him was enough. However, because he had been an official for many years and had no credit and hard work, I would spare him once. You are his mentor, and he can listen to your words. So I want to find you as a lobbyist and ask him to make up for the deficit of more than 30,000 taels of granary in Jinniu County.
Bao Yintian said, please try it.
Min Qiuye said coldly, "It's not possible to try it." This matter must be done, and if it cannot be done, it must be done."
The heat of the cloudy sky, Min Qiuye was coaxed and frightened, and the heat was just right, and it seemed that he had already gained the secret of being an official.
I stopped eating in the cloudy sky, and quickly ordered the servants to pack up and prepare to go back to Chengdu Mansion with us. After coming out, I said Lao Min, since the evidence is conclusive, why not do Yang's method to go into the water?
Min Qiuye sighed, "Don't I want this." From the prefect, the magistrate to the various squads, they were entangled with Yang Xiashui. They were so anxious that he would kill the death to break the matter and squander all the broken things. Then Shu might be in chaos again."
I said that the granary was to make up for the deficits and to make up for the new grain for each warehouse. After a while, the new grain in each prefecture and county had not been released and the old grain was insufficient, and the court still hoped that these grains would be opened to open the warehouse and release the grain. It was precisely because of this that the prefect Zhang and Lord Ding asked me to let go. If I really made any movement in the officialdom, I am afraid that the first one who would not spare me would be the two adults.
I said that Lord Bao sent the housekeeper to pack fifty taels for me. Min Qiuye smiled and said, "I want to spend a small amount of money to do big things." Just keep your views, I understand."
This is the benefit of being an official. The Ming Dynasty stipulated that the salary of a seventh-rank magistrate was twenty taels, and the local governments had different annual integrity. For example, the magistrates in Suzhou and Hangzhou had at least 100 taels of silver a year, but these officials did not even see this amount of money.
When he returned to Chengdu, Bao Yintian went to persuade Yang to go to the Shui overnight. The next morning, Yang Magistrate agreed to make up for the deficit silver, sold the house, and used "private money", and finally raised more than 26,000 taels of silver. The remaining silver was sold for ten years from the clean bank.
Min Qiuye said that the rules of the officialdom have always been about "inquiry of ten and seven, seven and three". If the officials are dirty, they will go to ten and look for seven points. After the investigation, they will go to seven points. If you really hold the responsibility accountable, you will only do it according to three points. With Yang Xiashui as a precedent, it will probably be much smoother later.
Yang Magistrate's County
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) After the money, I came to Chengdu Prefecture to pay the office. Before leaving, I asked to see Min Qiuye. Min Qiuye and I were chatting in the study. County Magistrate Yang came in and knocked on the ground. The subordinate came to thank Lord Min, thank you for your kindness.
Min Qiuye didn't go up to help him, and said coldly, "I am just doing things impartially. I want to thank you for your hard work on burning incense and worshiping Buddha on weekdays. This time the Buddha appeared to bless your Yang family. Today you escaped. I hope you will keep your duty after you go back, and don't be caught by me again."
How could County Magistrate Yang not hear the implication? He just laughed dryly, looked at me, and stopped talking.
Min Qiuye asked, what else is there? This is my brother, not a member of the public, but it doesn't matter.
Magistrate Yang kowtowed and said, "The villain asked Lord Min to help me!" Min Qiuye said that you have great magical powers, how can I save you?"
County Magistrate Yang said that although the villain has no close relationship with the adult, the villain thinks that the adult acts as an official and has a gentleman's style. Moreover, the adult is a foreigner and has not been involved. After thinking about it, only the adults can save the villain from water and fire in the whole Chengdu Prefecture.
I guess he was praised by Yang Xiashui's gentleman style, Min Qiuye said, "What's the matter, mother-in-law and mother, are you trying hard."
County Magistrate Yang said inexplicably that Priest Zhang is the son-in-law of the Third Master of the Tang Sect, Lord Ding is the brother-in-law of the head of Qingcheng, Lord Min is the first to come, so it is better to be careful when acting as an official.
Min Qiuye shouted, "It's enough, slander Shangguan, are you guilty? County Magistrate Yang was about to defend himself, but Min Qiuye snorted coldly, "You go down first." After that, he picked up the teacup and saw the guests off."
I asked why I didn't listen to him finish his words. Min Qiuye said, "This kind of person is gossiping around on weekdays. Today I listen to him, and tomorrow he may tell others what I am, so it's better to stay away from them."
Hearing a riot outside, Min Qiuye shouted, Liu Neng, what's going on outside? Liu Neng is the correspondent of Min Qiuye.
Liu Nengdao, when he returned to the master, it seemed that someone had died outside the government office.
Min Qiuye said, Yang Xiashui, haven’t left yet? Liu Nengdao, his body is still there, and his head is gone first.
Ah? Min Qiuye and I came to the government office and saw County Magistrate Yang lying in a pool of blood, his head was cut off and disappeared.
In the case of the assassination of Yang Xiashui, the magistrate of Jinniu, who was assassinated at the Chengdu government office, Zhang was furious and announced that the Chengdu Prefecture was closed down and ordered the Chengdu magistrate Min Qiuye to set up a special task force to solve the case within ten days.
The court ordered an official to be killed in the street. The nature of this matter was extremely bad. This was no longer an ordinary murder case, but a provocation to the court and authority. County Magistrate Yang was an official of the court. Even if he wanted to kill, he should have a decent way of death, such as being electrocuted during "vacation-style treatment", killing himself by 18 knives, etc., but the murderer insisted on "not moving, his head was far away", which was a taboo in the officialdom.
This matter was led by Lao Min, and Liu Qingfeng and I were inquiring about the news from the Jianghu area to see if we could help. The six doors of the Zhengfang Office began to take action, inspected everywhere, captured suspicious people, etc., and posted a notice to offer a reward of 100 taels to find the head.
A big man came to come in the afternoon with a bag. I heard that you offer a reward of 100 taels here to find a head?
Min Qiuye said, yes, do you have whereabouts?
The man reached out and took out the bag. My third concubine just passed away in the afternoon and her head was still warm.
Min Qiuye said, what I am looking for is a man. The man said, my father-in-law is over 80 years old this year, and he chatted with me this morning and said that he was impatient in his life, so I immediately did it for the adults. First, I will show filial piety to the old, and second, I will show loyalty to the adults.
Min Qiuye said he was crazy, waved his hand, and ordered the yamen runners to give the big man out.
Seeing him frowning, I said that the soldiers came to block the water and soil, and wait for the soldiers and yamen runners who were sent out to report the letter to the evening, and then make a long-term plan.
Before nightfall, another yamen runner came to report to the emperor, and someone found a head in the prefect of Jintang County!
Min Qiuye said, come on as soon as possible.
The yamen runners came up from the man dressed up by Confucian scholars. It was Gongsun, the master who was in the cloudy sky, who went to the toilet. Gongsun saw Min Qiuye in the toilet and knelt down quickly.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) I have met the master.
Min Qiu Ye asked, where is the head? Gongsun handed a box in the toilet. When he opened it, he saw that it was such a big head!
It was the head of Jintang magistrate who was the Yintian.
Min Qiuye's face turned dark. One case had not been resolved, and another case started again. The head was discovered at noon today. Master Gongsun went to the toilet in the afternoon. He found a box at the door of the cottage. When he opened it, he found a bloody head. He was about to meet a police officer and sent it to Chengdu Prefecture with a quick horse.
The entire Chengdu Prefecture was shocked. Two of the magistrates of six counties died within one day, which could be considered a major safety accident. Prefect Zhang handed over a letter and ordered Min Qiuye to commit two cases together, and the time limit for solving the case remains unchanged.
I said that in the government office, a head and a body are not a matter of trouble. The dead are the most important and the land is safe. I will quickly notify the family to come and get it back.
Min Qiuye said that this is how he notifies his family members?
Liu Neng said, Master, I have a solution.
Let's hear it.
I have a second uncle, a shoemaker, and I do some craftsmanship in sewing and patching on weekdays. The technique is reasonable. Why don’t I find him and use the two brothers to stick together and make a whole thing?
The yamen runners said that this idea was good, and some people said that if we pay for money for funerals, should we pay one or two? Nonsense, a corpse is of course a piece of money. Everyone can discuss it with each word.
Min Qiuye slapped the table, what a moral character! Everyone hurriedly kept silent.
Min Qiuye shouted, "Has the yamen soldiers from Jintang and the third squad of Jinniu County brought him? You reported to the Lord, you are waiting outside the door! All of them came, and I want to ask questions in person."
Zhang Shi, Zhao Hu and other yamen runners were brought to the hall. Min Qiuye shouted, "Jintang County, you are not escorting Lord Bao, which led to Lord Bao being killed. Is it possible that you are guilty?"
Everyone dared not speak, Min Qiuye shouted, Zhang Dino!
Zhang Shi lay on the ground, Lao Min shouted twice, and Zhao Hu poked him with his finger, "Hey, brother, are you calling me."
Min Qiuye said, Ma Dan, are you real deaf or fake deaf!
Ma Dan knelt down and said, "I'm not deaf when I say anything."
Then tell me what happened to your master’s murder.
Ma Dan said that last night, Magistrate Yang from Taurus came to discuss the matter with Master Bao. He was not sure what he said. According to Zhang Shi, he heard the two of them quarreled inside and talked about the disobedience of the Former Shu King. He had to ask Zhang Shi for details.
Min Qiuye said Zhang Din, let me tell me.
Zhang Du raised his head and shouted: Ah? Sir, what did you say? Let it be louder? I can't hear it.
I asked you what happened to you when Magistrate Yang and Magistrate Bao quarreled?
Bun stuffing? Back to the master, I ate three vegetarian food last night!
Min Qiuye pointed at Zhang Dino and asked Ma Dan, are you sure he heard it? He told me on the way Ma Dan said it.
Min Qiuye said, "Jing Gui, someone comes, drag it down and hit twenty small boards."
Min Qiuye asked everyone for a long time, but he didn't ask about Chou Yin and Mao. He sighed and said softly: Get out of here.
Zhang Shi kowtowed and said, Yes, Master.
