Chapter 92

Although the sparrow is small, it can be fully equipped with all internal organs.

Also, the so-called sky is high and the emperor is far away, and there are many small turtles in the yamen.

Zhangqiu County is not big, but there are many clerks in the county yard in the center of Zhangqiu City. In addition to the three major heads of the county magistrate, county magistrate, and chief clerk, there are two imperial courts, three imperial courts, and four old masters below.

These two yin are the assistants of the Zhangqiu County Household Department and the Second Department of the Justice Department. Zhangqiu County is not a large county in the capital, so it only has two houses but no six houses. However, these two houses are also in charge of the specific affairs of the county.

One is assigned household registration and dispatched labor service to collect taxes and grain, and the other is arresting, theft, disaster relief and case retrieval, etc.

The third yamen is the head of the third squad, who is in charge of the fast class, the strong class, and the soap class. The four old dictionaries are the four calligraphy and histories, and they are also in charge of each, such as the Cang History, the Prison, etc.

If you want to rank the officials in the county government, you will naturally be the county magistrate and the chief clerk, then the Sihu Zuo, the Juju, the third squad leader and the four books.

Although only three county magistrates, county magistrates, chief clerks, and chief clerks, were of the same rank, but the rest were all heads, and the best ones could be called officials.

There are officials under the officialdom, officials and private aides, that is, masters familiar to later generations. At this time, there is no such title yet. There are yamen runners under the officialdom, and there are yamen runners under the yamen runners.

To be honest, there are actually hundreds of people in a county government office.

But today, Luo Cheng is the most powerful person in Zhangqiu County.

More than 200 militiamen in the township gang surrounded the yamen, and all the vacancies and gangs under the officials were found.

In front of the lobby of the county government office, there is a wall of eight characters.

The yamen's eight characters are facing south. This common saying explains the particular characteristics of yamen's architecture.

The buildings of the government offices all face north and south to reflect honor. As usual, two brick walls are arranged on the left and right sides of the gates of all the yamen, diffuse along the side of the doors to the left and right and front, turning into a corner of about thirty degrees, which happens to form a shape that looks like a horoscope.

The door of the government office was open and closed, and the brick wall also became an extension of two door panels, so this became the origin of the yamen's eight characters facing south.

The eight-character wall in front of the yamen is also extremely noble. Any emperor's imperial edict that the court wants the people to know will be posted on the eight-character wall, and the government's orders will be posted on the wall, so that the officials and soldiers can know everything.

Therefore, it can be said that the eight-character wall of the county government is actually the latest and most authoritative headline news in a county.

Today, other old notices on the Eight Character Wall have been removed, and new notices are constantly being posted.

Wang Ziming stood in front of the wall, reading the content of the notice loudly, spreading it like the people watching.

To preach the notice.

Luo Cheng also specially brought the monks from the small temples in the county and the Taoist priests from the Taoist temple to accompany him. When they stood there, they became more and more grand.

These monks and Taoist priests were originally unwilling to come to the stand, but Luo Cheng asked them to tell them that after one of them had a consistent appearance fee, the enthusiasm of the monks and Taoist priests was unprecedentedly high, and even several old monks and Taoist priests were pulled over to the stand.

Although Zhangqiu County has a population of nearly 10,000 households, not many people can read. This is a feature of the entire era. Although the administration of the Ming and Qing dynasties was dark, the literacy rate of the people was already very high, especially in the late Ming Dynasty, which was said to have reached an astonishing proportion of 5%.

In today's Great Sui Dynasty, the literacy rate in Zhangqiu City is estimated to be less than one percent.

Some shop assistants barely recognize a few words that apprentices have, but they don’t understand the official notice very well. So Wang Ziming is not only responsible for reading, but also for explaining, explaining the content above to everyone in popular Zhangqiu dialect.

Those Taoist monks came to the station today, and if they had an important task, they would also help to preach and notice.

"It is found out now that the constable Liu Shouyi was greedy for abuse of power and was detained for money..."

A new notice was posted, but it was a big-character poster that attacked the detective Liu Shouyi. This man was also one of the ten regular members of the fast class in the county government. The fast class old man had a bad attitude today, so Luo Cheng directly killed him.

The notice talked about how Liu Shouyi embezzled and disturbed the people during his tenure as a constable. He had many methods. For example, whenever there was something wrong, he would take money for the person involved. If he had been detained and the two were willing to reconcile, he would ask for money for wine and food. He was ordered to investigate the affair, but he would implicate it before he could get it, and he would have to pay for money. If he had already got it, he would buy money.

Every month in the city, every household has money for lamps and oil, and every house has money for paintings and calligraphy. Each alley has a piece of eaves. It is an illegal building, and it is also necessary to collect hidden reports.

When there are illegal objects, every time at the end of the year, they will hold wine and invite a meeting. Each family will pay for money, and then it will be called "Take a net" and "Autumn Wind".

"There are no other names to be named!"

The announcement also took the grace of money as an example and listed a violation of Liu Shouyi.

Once a theft occurred in the local area. After the report was submitted, the government sent a service to investigate. However, Liu Shouyi did not investigate in detail, but directly pointed out a wealthy businessman who was close to the stolen person who was relatively wealthy but had no support, and detained him for a household and asked for money.

Even after blackmailing the businessman, he also blackmailed several more by using his fellow cases.

Report a case and involve numbers. They have slanderous words to call the thief blossoming.

Liu Shouyi is a veteran in making thieves and flowers. Several wealthy families in Zhangqiu were bankrupt by him using this thieves and flowers.

It was also found that Liu Shouyi even secretly colluded with thieves to play with thieves.

He once captured a few thieves, but did not send them to prison. Instead, he said to them, "Now I accept you as an apprentice. Even if you do business, the rule of being an apprentice is to pay dividends of 30% for 30%. If you do business, I will deduct 70% for 30% for 30% for yourself. There is another use. When you steal something, you must record the door and house of others. When you meet the cage, you can climb him. When you understand, his money is already ours."

This Liu Shouyi is not only a thief, he is also a thief for his own use.

Not only did he protect the thief from stealing money, he then divided the dirt by himself, but he even deliberately instructed the thief to steal money and then slaughter the big ones, thereby extorting money.

"So that was the case of Liu Family Wo back then!"

Someone exclaimed.

After Liu Shouyi was taken down, he was immediately pulled out to fight. Liu Shouyi was punished and began to reveal more crimes.

For example, he was once bribed and falsely accused the good people of being thieves, arrested and beaten, and was scolded. He also used another constable to take advantage of the fact that he was detained and forced to fight the wife of the person involved. The more he committed such crimes, he vomited more and more.

A series of new crimes were immediately written down and then stamped, and posted on the wall of eight characters. Everyone knows it after reading the words of Wang Ziming and several monks and Taoists.
