Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Yu Baien was only a small bookkeeper in the army before, but he was a little stronger than Tang Xiaoxian, who served over 100 households in the army.

Tang Xiaoxian's guilty conscience is that he should not put beef on the big flail. This criminal law does not exist in the Great Ming Law, but he did it rashly. If the master was sentenced to death directly from the beginning, and the three judicial judges were reported to the court, and the slaughter was decided in the autumn, it would give the impression of cruel officials, but it would still be fair and strict.

His Royal Highness King Qi has repeatedly said to the following in recent years that in troubled times, heavy scriptures are used, so this matter makes Tang Xiaoxian give the impression of a cruel official to the outside world. But he didn't act so resolutely at the beginning, he only sentenced the shackles to show the public, and as a result, people were shackled to death, and he fell into the limelight.

Up to now, Tang Xiaoxian can't explain to the churchmen outside, let alone make amends. He is the county magistrate of Jiading, and his words and deeds represent the court. won't forgive him.

"When the interruption continues, you will suffer instead."

Yu Baien urged Tang Xiaoxian to find a way to get out of the city immediately, and dispatched the garrison to suppress the troubled churchmen. When he was in charge of clearing debts earlier, Tang Xiaoxian was also a daredevil. He once transferred the garrison to copy the mother's house of the Queen Mother, but no matter who listened to it, whether it was right or wrong, he would always praise Tang first. Magistrates are not afraid of the powerful. But now Yu Baien asked him to transfer troops to suppress the churchgoers, and as soon as the incident broke out, many people would fall to the ground. This is inconsistent with the spirit of King Qi that he should recuperate with the people, restore the population, and kill less and kill carefully.

Tang Xiaoxian couldn't make up his mind, but when Yu Baien saw this, he couldn't help laughing, saying that you were also the one who killed Tartars and chopped off the heads of Tartars. How come you have the heart of a Bodhisattva now? You don't want to kill the religious people, but the religious people want to kill you? Don't you hear that the outside is clamoring for your Tangzhi County to lose your life?

"If you don't invite soldiers, how will you deal with the aftermath outside? The mob rushed into the yamen. Are you trying to hide in a thatched hut like Mao Yilu?"

The Mao Yilu that Yu Baien said was the governor of Jiangsu in the Tianqi Dynasty, Shidong Factory came to Wuxi to pick up people, but was resisted by the mob, and even the yamen rushed. That Mao Yilu escaped by hiding in a thatched hut. Afterwards, not only did he lose his official position, but he also got a name that would last forever.

"Master only died yesterday, and today there are so many religious people in the county. How did the news spread so quickly, and how did these religious people gather from all directions? Who organized them? , the livelihood of ordinary people is smashed by the religious people. As a parent, you are not the master of the people, and you are afraid of what kind of decency it will be. Moreover, the church people can gather the crowd in an instant, so you are not afraid of Jiading being out of the people. Chaos? Brother Tang, although I just came here, I heard that you offended a lot of people when you presided over the debt settlement. Are you not afraid that these people will take the opportunity to kill you?"

Tang Xiao first thought about it, maybe it was what Yu Baien said, so he no longer hesitated, and summoned his trusted yamen soldiers to discuss going out of the city to Fucheng for help. Fortunately, the yamen was close to the Beicheng, and several yamen first slipped out of the city and tied Tang Zhixian and Yu Baien with ropes. After changing into blue cloth clothes, straw hats, and straw sandals, I hurried to Fucheng by finding a path.

Ding Ladong didn't know that Tang Zhixian had fled to Fucheng, and when the disciples started to make trouble, he was afraid, so he hid at home and did not dare to come to the yamen. It was not until evening that people from the temple came to look for him, saying that Tang Zhixian was missing from the yamen, and asked him to come out on behalf of the yamen to negotiate compensation for the death of the master. The people at the Dajiao Temple put forward some conditions, some of which Ding Zhubo could agree to, and some that he could not agree to.

After all, Ding Ladong is also a county boss, second only to the magistrate in the county, but the people in the Pianshengjiao Temple don't take him seriously at all, they are aggressive, and they just insist that he agree to the conditions. But under some conditions, even if he killed Ding Ladong, he did not dare to accept it. So things dragged on, and more than an hour later, those who taught the temple were a little uneasy, for fear that the escaped Tang Zhixian would bring troops back, so they threatened Ding Zhubo again. Ding's relatives also came forward, saying that the matter could not be dragged on any longer. In desperation, Ding Ladong finally agreed to the terms, so the people who taught the temple led the churchgoers to disperse. Only the Han people who were in a mess in the city, their property was robbed, and their goods were smashed, but they didn't know who to turn to to reason.

.........

Tang Xiao rushed to Fucheng first and immediately reported the matter to the Songjiang prefect. The prefect of Songjiang was also surprised when he heard that Jiading taught the people's lives in chaos.

Jiang Guozhu, governor of Jiangsu, who was supervising the expansion of the Chongming military port and the transportation of money and grain to the north, read Songjiang's report and was not angry because he had just received the official document from Zhejiang, and His Royal Highness King Qi was coming to Songjiang in a few days. It's better now, but before His Highness came, Songjiang was in chaos first. If His Highness knew about it, wouldn't he scolded Jiang Guozhu for being helpless under his rule?

It happened that Zhang Changgeng, who had just left his post as the messenger of the Jiangsu General Bureau of Repayment, was also in Suzhou, so Jiang Guozhu approached him to discuss the matter. Speaking of which, Tang, the magistrate of Jiading County, was seconded by Zhang Changgeng from the army, and he has been working in his yamen to clear his debts, so that Tang should be regarded as Zhang Changgeng's person. As Zhang Changgeng's tail, when such a big thing happened, Zhang Changgeng had to help clean it up.

"When I was in Hubei, I heard that the religious people had education but no country, and they claimed to live in China but they were not Chinese people. Since the Hongwu period, our dynasty has been suppressing the religious people to promote them to become kings. Even today, the results have been very good. Wei, I think that these religious people are very stubborn, and their teaching methods are very absurd. The imperial court should rectify them to avoid disaster. However, on the surface of Jiading, it seems that the magistrate Tang used harshly, causing death and causing public outrage. On closer inspection, it’s not wrong to teach people to break the law first, bribe officials later, and Tang is not wrong to enforce the law impartially. If there is a mistake, it is also a little bit of lynching in addition to the law. Zhang Changgeng is a person who has been a senior official of the frontier. Zhang Changgeng speaks with skill, and with a few understatements, he will pick out the people he needs to use.

Jiang Guozhu knew what Zhang Changgeng meant, but he was a little dissatisfied: "In terms of it, Tang is too rash, right? The shackles are enough, why pile beef on the shackles? What kind of criminal law is this?"

"Yes, it is indeed not a criminal law. For what Tang did, Mr. Futai still has to reprimand it in writing. This year, Tang's official department evaluation must be fine-tuned." Zhang Changgeng did not speak for Tang without a word, "but teaching people's livelihood disorder. The slandering of the tyrants cannot last long. The land in the south of the Yangtze River has just been cleared, and many folk gentry have complained about our dynasty. Songjiang's report makes it clear that thousands of churchgoers gathered on the first day of the incident. The people are also gathering in Jiading on the news, what is this sign? Lang Lang Qiankun, who can respond with a call?"

Hearing this, Jiang Guozhu frowned slightly. Compared with the lynching by the magistrate Tang, the nature of Songjiang's clergymen's response is much more serious. And if it is just the church people, it's fine. If the landowners and gentry who have been owed debts also take the opportunity to make trouble and start chaos with the church people ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Songjiang's good situation will not immediately fall into corruption?

Zhang Changgeng also thought of this, and he reminded: "The land in the south of the Yangtze River is the land of money and grain for my dynasty, and now His Highness has decided to go north to Liaodong. , I must not make any mistakes. Otherwise, if it affects His Highness's plan to go north, I will die without atonement."

Jiang Guozhu reacted and said hurriedly: "I am just doing this in Songjiang and stationing troops in various places to suppress the religious people. I must not let this matter continue."

Zhang Changgeng nodded and said: "The matter of suppression must be started immediately, but it cannot be killed. I think that if you catch a few, you should deal with it as best you can. The stability that Songjiang needs right now, everything needs to be considered, not willful. , to prevent the situation from worsening. For the crime, the traitors are holding the government, shackled according to the law, and sent to the county, so that the religious people can't say anything."

"Alright, just do it."

Jiang Guozhu just wanted to calm things down immediately, so that when His Royal Highness King Qi arrived in Songjiang, he saw a good situation instead of chaos everywhere. Therefore, although we are still preparing to suppress, the means need not be so bloody, and some things are not necessarily compromised.

Songjiang Prefecture immediately dispatched troops to Jiading after receiving the official document from the Governor's Yamen. By the time Songjiang's garrison arrived in Jiading, the churchmen had already dispersed. Songjiang House was relieved when it was reported, and the churchgoers dispersed, indicating that the matter had calmed down, and it would be better not to have to fight.
