The ancient official system is divided into nine grades and eighteen grades. The magistrate is the seventh grade official position, which is the thirteenth grade, and the "pushing official" is the twelfth grade official position from the sixth grade, in charge of official affairs and trial cases.
The magistrate received too much favor from Wuhan University, or he took too much money from Wuhan University and served as an official for many years. He knew that certain things must not be broken. He didn't want to seal up the workshop of Wuhan University, but the saying goes. At a higher level, the magistrate has no right to refute the order of the official.
As the voice came in, a team of salt and iron divisions caught up quickly.
They came from Dongping County. Strictly speaking, they came from Dongping Prefecture. The change between the prefecture and the prefecture was too fast, and it was not clear to the people.
"Guardian of Wuhan University, come with us." The middle-aged arrester headed by him said quickly that he was about to come to the University of Wuhan.
The crowd is surging.
There is an old saying that poor mountains and bad waters create trouble for the people. In fact, this sentence was said by those in power to cover up their atrocities. In this age, although the people live in hardship, they are simple. On weekdays, Wuhan University took good care of the neighborhood. At the moment when he was about to be taken away by the officials, there was no scene of the tree falling and the macaques scattered. The villagers did not rush away. On the contrary, they looked at each other and nodded silently. Unswervingly stood in front of Wu Da and protected Wu Da tightly.
The middle-aged arrester was furious: "Get out of the way!"
However, the folks were unmoved.
The magistrate's face was so gloomy, he asked himself if he was arrested today, even if the villagers did not clap their hands and cheer, there would never be anyone to protect him.
The middle-aged arrester ran away quickly, "The reverse is reversed, you are going to reverse it!?"
This is shameless, the villagers are unarmed, and it is absolutely impossible for them to be linked to the charge of rebellion anyway.
Wuhan University almost burst into tears.
Since ancient times, people have not fought against officials, and there are too few ordinary people who dare to fight against officials. These neighbourhoods can do this for the sake of Wuhan University, which means that they agree with Wuhan University from the bottom of their hearts.
"I will go with you."
This relationship between the neighbours is too rare, and Wuhan University does not want to put them in jail because of their own affairs.
"brother!"
Wu Song was in a hurry.
Wu Da shook his head slightly, motioning him to be safe and restless.
The crowd slowly separated, and the middle-aged Chakuai's face was extremely embarrassed. He did not leave any affection for Wu Da, put on shackles, and walked outside with Wu Da.
Wu Da glanced at Ximen Qing and walked out obediently.
…
Jin Lian was not at home today. As the New Year's Eve was approaching, she took Xiuhong out to buy new year goods. When she came back, she heard that Wu Da was taken away, and she panicked.
Xi Menqing, who had not spoken all the time, finally spoke, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I and the boss have a plan for this matter, I'll go ask for reinforcements now!"
Wu Song suddenly got up, "I'll go with you. If it doesn't work, I'll go to Liangshan and call someone to rob prisoners!"
Ximen Qing finally showed the edge that was always covered by Wuhan University. He glared and said sharply:
"The boss has made arrangements for this. Don't have trouble. The good news is that the good family is waiting for me!"
…
Dongping Mansion, Salt and Iron Division.
Muddy all the way, Wuhan University and others finally reached their destination.
In the Northern Song Dynasty, the three divisions of Salt and Iron, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Finance were in charge of coordinating the national finances. It became an important institution second only to Zhongshu and the Privy Council. The status of "planning" is slightly lower than that of participating in political affairs and has great authority.
Although the promotion is only from the sixth-rank official position, the promotion of the promotion requires a recommendation first, and the recommender must also be a real court official. In this way, everyone knows that the promotion has a large background, and generally no one dares. Look down on these little officials from the sixth rank.
There are three types of cases that the officials need to hear. One is submitted by the people, the second is a case sent down by a higher-level agency, and the third is the review of cases in states and counties. Since all counties have prefects, under normal circumstances, officials are not responsible for cases submitted by the people. The arrest of Wuhan University this time was not known to the magistrates before. This means that it was a direct order from a higher-level organization.
Wuhan University has never offended court officials, and all parties have done everything in place. However, if you want to become bigger and stronger in business, you will inevitably offend a group of businessmen. These businessmen may be set up by distant relatives of the imperial court officials, which indirectly offends them. they.
Wanting to understand these joints, the confusion in Wu Da's heart was resolved. The culprit should be the Wang's family who wanted to buy a catwalk red in Yi Cui Lou.
The person in charge of the interrogation of Wuhan University was Liang Shouye, the official of the Department of Salt and Iron, with a square face, triangular eyes, a "righteous" face, and a nonsense.
"Wu Zhi, you know you are guilty!?"
The same is true for Wuhan University, "Cao Min doesn't know what the adults say, please say something famous."
"Bold!"
Liang Shouye's triangular eyes stared, pretending to be unforgivable with anger, "You make and sell official salt privately for illegitimate wealth; Little officials, because of the disaster in the village, the fish and the common people, caused the residents of Yanggu County to not live and plead guilty!?"
Wu Da was dumbfounded.
It is worthy of being a competent minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, with a clever tongue, these charges, Wu Da has racked his brains, and can't remember when he did it.
"Master Qi, the Caomin is terrified. The prostitute you mentioned was indeed the Caomin's ransom for her, but the Caomin is not greedy for her beauty, but just helping her with righteousness. Now that Xiuhong girl, the Caomin has helped her. Yanggu County’s county government has left the low status and now serves as the chief treasurer in the Caomin Brewery. If you don’t believe it, you might as well send someone to check it out.
Liang Shouye suffocated, and said casually: "If it were not for lust for beauty, who would let a prostitute be the chief shopkeeper? I don't know what to say! Besides, even if you can cover up this matter, the other charges are as iron proof as you are. How can you justify yourself?"
Wu Da flicked his sleeves and said lightly: "Those are all unnecessary slanders, and there is no need for Caomin to argue.
Liang Shouye's triangulated eyes, Wei Mi, said solemnly: "I don't think you can justify it! If you only make and sell official salt privately, the official can cut you off first! Come on, give me a fight!"
"Here!"
The four officials pushed Wu Da on a long bench. Poor Wu Da's small arms and legs couldn't struggle at all.
However, he did not cry out for help either, but reduced all the smiles on his face, and said to Liang Shouye with a cold face:
"Master Liang, hit me, don't regret it in the future!"
Liang Shouye was immediately angry when he heard this, "Hit me, hit me hard!"
"Boom!"
"what!"
Wu University yelled out with a "wow" voice, this has nothing to do with the backbone, it is really painful that the thick and long killing stick fell on the ass.
At this moment, a small official ran in rolling in and shouted:
"My lord, it's not good!"
At the same time, a large group of sergeants in armor rushed in and broke in.
A young lieutenant, armed with a spear, stepped on the door with his horse!
