Lu Ling looked around, and even though he felt angry, he couldn't interfere with the district governor's trial procedures.
Qin Meng turned his face and said to the defendants: "The Lu family's ancestral hall was smashed. Someone saw you appear near the ancestral hall on the night that the ancestral hall was smashed. Is there such a thing?"
The few people were kneeling, and they almost gave their hands together when they heard the words: "Master Hui, Cao Min did indeed appear near the Lu Family Ancestral Hall, but Cao Min did not hit Lu Family Ancestral Hall."
Qin Meng said coldly: "What the official asks you, you can answer whatever you want, don't be long-winded. The Lu family ancestral hall was smashed, and you appeared at such a node. Anyone will classify you as a major suspect. You. Besides, why did it appear near the Lu Family Ancestral Hall?"
The first person said: "Master Hui, a few Caomin, who are looking at the foot of the Lu family's ancestral hall and want to open up wasteland, are not unexpectedly there. This can be proved by the Caomin family."
Qin Meng nodded and dragged his official voice: "Who can prove it to you?"
On the left side of Qin Mengsheng’s seat, a person flashed out, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, “Cao Lian, the grass man, willing to testify.”
"Oh, let's just talk about it." Qin Meng felt a little bit as a master official, at this time. The great emperor of heaven, earth and earth, respected these three, as if he was the only one in the world.
This feeling is different from marching.
Marching and fighting, my mind is full of gains and losses. Every consideration must be kept in mind at all times. A mistake may lead to the destruction of a team.
The order is ready to go, it looks very beautiful, but who has the mind to experience the feeling of being superior
But it's not the same as a master in a courtroom, which integrates justice, law enforcement, and trial. Not to mention the county guard, it's a small county official, so it's so bloated.
Zhao Lian raised his head and arched his hands and said: "Returning to my lord, I am from the two families of Zhao, and many of my children work under the elder. Therefore, I am grateful for the grace of the elder and are ready to actively respond to the call of the elder to focus on farming, and specially deploy manpower. Reclaiming wasteland, those few people are indeed going to see wasteland and preparing to reclaim wasteland."
As soon as the voice fell, a few knelt down beside him, indicating that what Zhao Lian said was the truth.
As early as the selection of small officials, Qin Meng told several officials of Li Ying that the profits of border trade were too great, and they feared that the people of Wuwei would abandon farming because of the benefits of commerce.
At that time, Qin Meng only emphasized this, and did not introduce any strategy to emphasize agriculture and suppress business. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuliang took this out directly today, and he didn't know if it was an excuse.
Qin Meng touched his chin, a little embarrassed. At this moment, if he had some beards, he stroked his beard, what kind of official style would that be? It seems that it is not unreasonable that the ancients valued hair and beard.
However, this does not affect Qin Meng's approval of Zhao Yu's family.
"Well, very good! Since ancient times, people have relied on food as the heavens, and there is no agriculture, and the treasury is empty. The Zhao Yu family reclaimed wasteland, which is really a move to strengthen the country. Today, the official is trying to judge the smashing of the Lu family ancestral hall , But we cannot ignore the civil righteous act of reclaiming wasteland."
Speaking of this, Qin Meng turned his head and said: "Guan Xiang, you can write down the affairs of Zhao Yu's family. The people are righteous but the officials are not. The official corpse position is also a vegetarian meal. You can use the official rankings to encourage it first, and you will see Zhao Yu next year. As long as the cultivated land can be used for 70% of the old fertile land, the land reclaimed is owned by the reclaimer and the land tax is exempted for three years as an encouragement."
Zhao Yu's family bowed their heads one after another.
Qin Meng wanted to bring the topic to the trial, but thinking about the importance of focusing on agriculture and suppressing business, it happened that taking advantage of the Wuwei government office, almost all the local tycoons were present, so he explained it well.
"The farmer is the root of the community. If you cultivate the land for a hundred years and do not have half a year of business, then the country will not be the country. Wuwei is the place where the emperor will first allow border trade. In the future, more and more people will be used to serve the court. The official stated here that the people chosen by the court in the future must be of peasant origin. If the children of the aristocratic family want to be here, their family must be cultivated with a hundred acres of fertile land before they can enter. As for the children of merchants, Only when the children of the peasant family, the children of the aristocratic family have all filled the vacancies, and there is still a balance, and those who are amazingly talented, pay a hundred taels of silver to subsidize the agricultural use, can they be appointed."
"My lord Shengming!" Both the tyrants on both sides of Qin Meng's big seat or the people in the distance of the lobby shouted and applauded Qin Meng.
In ancient times, there was an advantage. No matter how you suppressed the merchants, there was no shit. Even if it is blackmailing a businessman, as long as you don't kill anyone, let alone whether you are in charge, the businessman can only swallow his teeth in his stomach, and just accept it obediently.
Qin Meng slapped the gavel slightly, and found the indescribable comfort of sitting in the hall more and more.
"The plaintiff, Lu Ling, you have heard what Zhao Yu and the two families said, what do you have to say?" Qin Meng used to be very disgusted with arrogance. But under this scene, if you don't play officialdom, you really don't match the solemn atmosphere around you.
Lu Ling saw everything in his eyes, and Qin Meng commended the people of Zhao Yu's family so lavishly, he seemed to be inclined.
"My lord, when Zhao Yu's family reclaimed wasteland, they couldn't believe it. Even if they take a step back, their family is really righteous, can they smash my Lu Family's ancestral hall?"
Qin Meng stunned the hall and said: "Lu Ling, what you say is to speak of evidence! Zhao Yu's family said that they reclaimed wasteland to prove why the people of his family appeared near your Lu family's ancestral hall, not Invite credit for your credit. In this lobby, you are not alone, but Wuwei gentry and gentry are all present. There is nothing wrong with this official who accepts the testimony of Zhao Yu and his family."
"The county guard is extremely true. The judgment is based on evidence. How can we rely on guessing? If we rely on guessing to do things, I can also say that the people of the Lu family slandered out of thin air in order to get a picture of unruly." A person next to Li Mian flashed out, Qin It was recognized that it was Li Tong, who Xiao Huanshan had shown him, who ridiculed Lu Ling.
There are other meanings in these words.
Almost everyone knows that it is your Lu family that secretly collected evidence and stabbed the Wuwei county government to do some illegal things
Since you can guess that someone is a murderer in your ancestral hall, let me tell you that you are plotting wrongdoing, right
"Li Tong, what's the matter with your Li family? Also, what do you mean when you say that I'm hoping to be unruly?"
Lu Ling had a guilty conscience, but his tone suddenly increased by an octave.
Li Tong sneered, "Everyone in this lobby knows well, why. Lu Ling, are you guilty?"
"What is my guilty conscience? My Lu family is here to fight the Zhao Yu family. What is it to do with your Li family?"
"If it weren't for your Lu family's food and support, can you have a lot of things?" Li Tong's eyes were slanted, and his mouth was curled, looking for trouble.
"The surname is Li, you tell me clearly today. What is full of food? Last time, your Li family avenged your private revenge and smashed our family's ancestral hall. Today, you are so vicious and slanderous. I have reason to suspect. This time the incident of smashing the ancestral hall. You Li family also have a share!"
Without waiting for Li Tong to speak, Zhao Lian jumped out next to him and shouted: "Lu Ling, you don't think about it, why are your Lu family's ancestral halls repeatedly smashed? Could it be that everyone in Wuwei City is unreasonably targeted at your Lu family? Huh? Ha ha, your Lu family’s popularity is very good."
Lu Ling was furious, his mouth trembled, and his hands shook: "You guys, you actually united to target our Lu family, huh, don't think that there are too many of you, our Lu family is afraid of you!"
Zhao Lian rolled up his sleeves: "A black sheep, everyone gets it and punishes him. No matter how bullish the Lu family is, aren't you afraid of public anger?"
"Quiet!" Along with a crisp tap of the gavel, Qin Meng interrupted a group of people who were about to run away with the words of the official accent.
The lobby of Wuwei Mansion was silent. Qin Meng glanced at everyone, and the official tone was almost more familiar: "Do you know what's wrong with making noise in court? A mess is a matter of life or death."
Everyone was already afraid of Qin Meng, and when they heard this, they became more and more apprehensive. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to breathe.
Qin Meng said with a light cough: "Rights and wrongs are state-owned and state-owned. The people have private rules. Lu Ling, your Lu family's ancestral hall was smashed, and you avenged your justice. The law is based on the law, and the official is due to the facts. Fair. However, if you testify against the evidence, this official cannot conclude that it was the Zhao Yu family. If you have no new evidence, the official can only conclude that this case is invalid."
Lu Ling opened his mouth, trying to organize his own words, but found that because of Li Tong's spoiler, he was already in a mess, and he had some thoughtful rhetoric. They are all fragmented and cannot be connected.
"My lord, then, could it be that my Lu family's ancestral hall was smashed for nothing?" Lu Ling was so angry that the family ancestral hall was smashed. He came to the government to file a complaint. He wanted to seek justice. Who knows. Was attacked by groups.
Qin Meng groaned: "Lu Ling, Ru Zhuangzhi said that someone smashed the Lu family's ancestral hall and left the word "Wuwei". There is no doubt that this was caused by a short dispute among the folk parents. In this way, the officer is willing to come forward and be in front of you. From the face of the tyrants in Wuwei, coordinating the disputes between your neighbors, there will be no evil in the future, do you think it is good?"
Lu Ling was stunned and said, "Why did you say this? You want to smash the Lu family's ancestral hall with the mud, so that the big and small things are reduced? What do you think of my Lu family? Is it so rash?"
Qin Meng saw that Lu Ling had lost face in front of the Wuwei group. He thought he knew that he had committed public outrage and would restrain himself. If he accepted mediation, he would give them the Lu family a chance.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ling was so stubborn that he would walk to the dark when he saw the anger of the crowd.
"Lu Ling, what do you mean is that if the official smashed Lu's ancestral hall, he must be investigated to the end?" Qin Meng had already thought about the pit, and waited for Lu Ling to jump down.
Lu Ling didn't realize it, and said: "My lord, the ancestors' ancestral hall was smashed. If it doesn't stop, how can he face his ancestors? I ask the adults to call the shots, and I will do justice to my Lu family."
Qin Meng nodded: "Well, this request is reasonable, reasonable and legal. Even if you insist on tracing to the end, the official will implement it in accordance with the law of the Great Sui Dynasty." (End of this chapter)
