Chapter 387: Help
The Zhao family must have good connections, but with so many people watching, they attacked the Yamen in an organized and planned manner, trying to get away with it.
Dongming Ziyu said: "The public trial was held overnight and the case was confirmed. It will be difficult for General Li to overturn the case. At most, he will only win a few people."
The matter was laid out clearly, and the rioters did not need to be interrogated too much. They explained the situation, signed and stamped their names, and ordered them to serve in hard labor for three to thirty years depending on the severity of the case.
As for the main culprit of the Zhao family, let’s capture him and wait for his head to be beheaded and his house to be ransacked.
The organizers of the Zhao family have run away, or to be precise, they have been hidden. If they cannot be caught, they cannot be convicted.
Shuan Zhu was furious, "You're too cunning, you can't take advantage of them like this, right?"
Zhu Shenzhi pinched his beard and smiled: "Young man, you are too angry. Only when you calm down can you think of a good solution."
Shuan Zhu's eyes lit up, "Uncle Zhu, do you have any ideas?"
Zhu Shenzhi said with a smile: "But among those rioters there are slaves of the Zhao family, and the Yamen has a bond of sale. It will be easier for them to pull out the master's family. If they say they are here by themselves, first they will label the Zhao family as improperly supervising the slaves."
According to the law, you must first be fined a large amount of silver."
Shuan Zhu smiled, "Uncle Zhu, you are so smart!"
Zhu Shenzhi said modestly: "We adults have thought of this a long time ago, so we sent people to collect the account books of the Zhao family's main store. If they don't hand them over, we will check the accounts. Whose account is not a little fishy? Another one
A fine of silver."
Shuan Zhu smiled and said: "Then there will be a silver reward for helping the people quell the chaos!"
Officials are different, they are so considerate!
There were so many confessions that even those who could write had their hands broken writing them. Dongming Ziyu also called on all the literate people in the county to help record the confessions. In this way, the evil deeds of the Zhao family were known to all the scholars in the county. Scholars
The pen is like the sword. I don't know what day I will be awarded the honorary title. How can the Zhao family reverse the case?
According to the law, misdemeanor crimes can be commuted with fines, which is another source of income.
Dongming Ziyu also had someone put up a notice: If the rioters are in jail and don’t care about food, their families will provide food. Those who don’t provide food will have to pay for their meals. If they don’t, they will go hungry!
The new county magistrate has clear rewards and punishments, generous rewards for meritorious service and severe punishment for guilty ones.
To deal with the turmoil here, the head of the Zhao family sent people on fast horses to gallop towards Dianzhou and the border pass.
Xie Rucheng arrived early and had already developed a few beggars in the local area to serve as eyes and ears. He asked them to keep an eye on the Zhao family. They sent the news over as quickly as possible.
Xie Rucheng asked Dongming Ziyu: "Do you want to intercept it in the middle?"
Dongming Ziyu said: "No need, for such a big thing, they will know the news sooner or later."
When the letter arrived in the hands of Song Yuanshao, the magistrate of Dianzhou, Song Yuanshao was furious: "It's unreasonable. The rebels dare to attack the county government. It's no different from treason! They must be severely punished! Come on! Let the garrison send two hundred officers to support the Dongxian magistrate!"
Yes, the lawsuit was not filed, and he even helped Dongming Ziyu move troops.
It can also be seen that this new county magistrate has something to rely on.
At the same time, the news was sent to the twelfth aunt in the mansion of General Li at the border gate.
Aunt Zhao was shaking with anger. Her eldest brother was imprisoned by the new county magistrate, and her second brother was wanted by the new county magistrate?
This is unreasonable! It’s outrageous!
Aunt Zhao told the maid: "Go and ask the general quickly and tell him that I have something urgent!"
The maid trotted off and came back after a while, "Auntie, the general is at Sixteenth Auntie's place, and the gatekeeper is arrogant and won't let the servants know!"
The general had just hired a singer, and he was having a good time. How could he still think about his old friend? She hadn't seen the general in three months.
Aunt Zhao said anxiously: "Let's just say that there are urgent matters! If it delays the general's affairs, kill the gatekeeper first!"
This time the mother-in-law didn't dare to stop her. When the general heard this, he jumped up from Sixteenth Auntie, put on his clothes, and hurried over.
Aunt Zhao threw herself into the general's arms and cried, "General, please save my brother quickly. He has been imprisoned by the Zhima County magistrate!"
The general's eyes were filled with fear, "What's going on?"
Aunt Zhao cried: "No matter what happens, we must rescue the person first! If my brother cannot resist the criminal law and tells the story, it will be a disaster!"
General Li said angrily: "I don't know this? It's because the Zhao family usually doesn't restrain themselves from doing things! I knew something was going to happen!"
Aunt Zhao excused her family: "It's the new official who took office and wanted to attack the Zhao family! Didn't he take you seriously, General?"
