Man Bao felt that this case was not easy to judge. The murderers who killed the child included members of the Guo family, Wu Dafu's own family, and even the people in an alley.
"How do you judge?"
Bai Shan thought for a while and said, "Trial according to the law, and judge according to favoritism."
Man Bao was silent for a while and then said: "I have decided to temporarily set up the medical office in Beihai County. You will ask someone to show me the house in the county government's hands tomorrow, and I will choose one."
Bai Shan nodded: "Okay."
However, it was good when he thought about it, but in fact, Beihai County did not have a ready-made controlled house.
Mr. Song's brow was sweating a little, and he explained: "My lord, our Beihai County is small and poor. There has been no such thing as ransacking the house for many years. If there is, it will be sold in a short time."
The county is so big, and good places are limited.
If there is a house that has been copied for sale, rich people will buy it for some money, or if it is not good, divide the house into several parts and rent it out directly.
Anyway, it is also an entry, isn't it
Among them, County Magistrate Lu was the most important, and he never missed any opportunity to generate income.
Master Song found out the land deeds of the two houses owned by the county government, and introduced the situation to Bai Shan, "These two houses are in the east of the city, where it is relatively noisy. This house has been in the hands of many years, but it cannot be sold. Go out, and then the county magistrate Lu came, divided the house into several rooms and rented it out, and you can get back a few taels of silver a year."
Don't underestimate the few taels of silver, maybe the county magistrate's salary came from these few taels of silver.
Bai Shan took a look at the contract at the back. A house was divided into three rooms, which were rented to three families respectively. The shortest house was rented until the next year. It was impossible for them to move, and Bai Shan was unwilling to bother them, so he said: "Let's rent it then."
Master Song, who was about to wait for him to talk about the construction, was stunned, and asked a little uncertainly, "Rent?"
Bai Shan nodded, "I checked, and the rent in Beihai County is not high. A two-entry house costs about ten taels of silver a year. Let's just rent one."
Man Bao also nodded, and said to Master Song: "Please trouble Master Song to find me all the dental shops in the county."
Master Song hesitated and said: "Rent... It's not very easy to rent, you are using it as a medical office, wouldn't it be better to build one?"
Man Bao said: "The Imperial Medical Office has no money, can your county pay this money?"
Bai Shan on the side immediately said: "Our county doesn't have any either."
He looked up at Master Song with threats in his eyes, "Maybe Master Song is willing to support one or two?"
Master Song came back to his senses, and quickly said: "My lord can't afford this money, how can I, a little master, afford it?"
"Then rent it," Bai Shan made a final decision, and said to Zhou Man, "you can find a house first, I have to go out."
Zhou Man nodded, "Go ahead, I'll have another chat with Master Song."
Master Song doesn't feel very good. Will the absence of adults affect the lonely man and widow
But before he could make a sound, Bai Shan turned around and left.
Man Baoze and Master Song asked, "Do you have a map of the county seat?"
Master Song: "...the map is a secret, and it is with the adults. How can the lower officials have it? And it is also the map of the entire Beihai County, not for the single city."
Man Bao nodded, took out a piece of paper and said: "It's okay, I took a walk yesterday, and I have some impressions, let's draw a piece of paper now."
She didn't pay attention to the distance of the ruler, so she directly drew a frame on the white paper, marked it with the county government office, divided the east, west, north, south, and drew the road, and looked at Master Song, "This avenue in front of the county government office..."
"It's called Menqian Street..."
Man Bao said: "I remember that there is a big alley..."
"Yes, this alley is called Haizi Alley. Many of the people who live here used to go to sea..."
Master Song was a little annoyed after he finished speaking, why did he say everything
Man Bao was very satisfied, and continued to mark the places she walked yesterday, every street and alley, and even the mouth of the wells she saw, so that she could understand the county little by little.
Bai Shan sent people to call all the people in that alley to the county government office, and then opened the court to hear the case.
Fang Xiancheng and Dong Xianwei are very concerned. This is Bai Shan's first case since he took office, and this is only his second day in office.
Knowing a person is not just about what the other person says, but also about what he does and how he does it...
How their new county magistrate is, we can get a general idea after this case.
So Fang Xiancheng and Dong Xianwei didn't say a word, just waiting to see how their county magistrate would judge the case.
They can hold their breath, but it is difficult for the people below.
Everyone in the county government paid attention to this matter, but Bai Shan only came after the end, and his face was tender, so he couldn't help being overwhelmed, so someone quietly joined Fang Xiancheng and Dong Xianwei to talk, "I heard that the Wu family He and the Guo family were all arrested by the adults himself. In fact, it was not a big deal, but after a few quarrels with the neighbors, the adults actually arrested them directly. If this is also a case, then the cases we will deal with in the future will be There are too many, and the number of cases reported at the end of the year, those who don’t know will think that our Beihai County is a den of bandits.”
"That's right, Mr. Bai is young after all. When encountering a trivial matter, he has to go to battle himself. You must know that the superior needs to be able to employ people, so trivial matters like this should be left to the village chief to handle."
Dong County Lieutenant listened with a smile, but did not express his opinion, but Fang Xiancheng said with a sullen face: "Is it my lord who is the superior, or are you the superior?"
The faces of the discussing officials were slightly stiff.
Fang Xiancheng said: "Your Excellency has his own reasons for doing this. If you have any opinions, bring them up with your Sir in person, and don't discuss them behind your back."
The officials bowed their heads in embarrassment.
Seeing that they had left, Dong Xianwei laughed with Fang Xiancheng: "Master Fang, why bother to get angry, they are also complaining about your lord's injustice, I thought you would be the magistrate after Mr. Lu left."
Fang Xiancheng said expressionlessly: "I have only been the county magistrate for two years, and I have no great achievements or knowledge. Why can I take over as the county magistrate for no reason?"
County Captain Dong: …
Fang Xiancheng said: "The prisoner in front is coming up, let's go and have a look."
Obviously, he is not worried, after all, it is the first time for Bai Shan to go to court.
Bai Shan himself was also nervous, but only for a moment. When Wu Dafu and Guo Dalang were pushed up, he sat high in the hall, looking down at the three of them, the yamen servants on both sides, and the neighbors who were called to listen. It was slowly smoothed out.
Bai Shan took the gavel and slapped it casually, with a "Dang", not only startled the people below, but also shocked himself.
He glanced at the gavel involuntarily, exhaled quietly, and remembered that the next time he wanted to shoot, the force should be lowered.
He looked at the people below with a sullen face: "Who is in the hall, please report the name."
