Chapter 812 Being an Official Is Actually Difficult
After 15 years of development and countless new rules and regulations, Chang'an is different from any city in Datang.
Among them, the biggest difference is that people have different understandings of the law.
The nobles from other places are often above the law in their original place of residence. After they come to Chang'an, the binding force of the law often makes them breathless.
The minions they brought to Chang'an may have gotten used to running amok in their hometown. After arriving in Chang'an, they could endure it for a while at first, and after a while, they would germinate.
Liu Yu and Wei Mian's understanding of the law is also different from that of Chang'an people. Their father told them that the law is just a battlefield for the nobles. A scalable scale, the same case is one scale for Qianshou, but another scale for Xungui.
Liu Yu and Wei Mian regard such unfair behavior as a kind of routine.
The Yingchuan Chen family is definitely a big family with rich heritage. This family has a lot of strategists and strategists. It is based on Chen Zhen in Yingchuan during the Warring States Period. this family.
Both Liu Yu and Wei Mian knew Chen Zhu, they met at a reception in Luoyang, he was indeed an unabashed hero.In the brothel painting boat, he is famous for being bold and rich.
After drinking high, he is even more wild and unruly. He often takes off his clothes and dances in the group of dancers in Changan shorts. Gao Ge is known in Luoyang city as being naked and romantic.
This guy's madness is not only in this, but also in his love for beauties. When he is walking in the countryside, as long as he happens to meet a beautiful woman with a lot of poetry, he will step forward and tear off her clothes. He wrote a poem on his back, threw out a bag of money, and walked away.
Because of the large amount of money, many women waited on Chen Zhu's journey, hoping that Chen Zhu would once again become a poet.
When Liu Yu and Wei Mian were checking the merchants in the East Market, they saw Chen Zhu again at a small stall selling Liangpi.
At that time, while eating Chang'an's unique spicy cold noodle, Chen Zhu looked at the little lady who was cutting the cold noodle with winking eyes, and he was probably about to become a poet.
Because they were busy with business, Liu Yu and Wei Mian didn't go up to say hello, they were going to find Chen Zhu and go to Pingkangfang to play together after they got off work.
As for the little lady who sells Liangpizi, this time it's considered a haircut. Once someone tore her clothes and wrote a few words on her back, she could get five pennies in exchange for half a cow...
Looking away from Chen Zhu, Liu Yu began to look squarely at the shop selling bamboo salt in front of him.
"Part of the salt in Chang'an City is official salt, the so-called sea salt. This kind of salt is the cheapest, but it has too many impurities and tastes bitter, but it is the main salt used by the people of Chang'an City.
Another kind of salt is green salt from Tuyuhun. Because this kind of salt is not official salt, it will pay a heavy tax, which leads to the high price of green salt. It is definitely not affordable by ordinary people. It was a wealthy family who bought green salt, and it was only used for brushing teeth. Therefore, the sales volume was not high, but there were many rich people in Chang'an City, so the amount of this kind of salt was not small.
Bamboo salt is more expensive than green salt. Bamboo salt is different from sea salt and green salt. It is a kind of salt that consumes a lot of manpower. It is expensive. There are not many people in Chang'an who use this kind of salt.
You two should remember that the quality standards for sea salt and green salt have been drawn up by the imperial court, so as long as they come in from Chaoguan, they are basically good, so we don't need to worry about them.
Bamboo salt is different. It is baked from cheap sea salt in bamboo. Generally, it needs to be fired nine times to be considered real bamboo salt. Moreover, the sea salt must be melted in the last firing, and the condensed salt is Only then can it be called bamboo salt.
What we are going to check today is whether the quality of the bamboo salt is up to the standard. If the number of times of burning is less than nine times, and the sea salt is not completely melted... then the merchant is making black-hearted money, which is a kind of harm to my goodwill of Changan. This kind of thing can't be..."
"Ah—help!"
When Lao Zhang was eloquently explaining how to distinguish bamboo salt to the two newcomers, a woman's scream came from the side of the long street.
Liu Yu and Wei Mian immediately laughed when they heard the sound, and when they were about to explain to Lao Zhang, they found that the thin monkey-like Lao Zhang had jumped out, holding an inkstone dripping with ink in his hand.
The woman's scream made it move not only Lao Zhang, but also the unscrupulous people who followed them to inspect the shop and the people who patrolled the shop. Like Lao Zhang, they ran there with hideous faces.
When Liu Yu and Wei Mian realized that something was wrong, the two of them heard Chen Zhu's high-pitched screams through the dense crowd.At the same time, Chen Zhu's guards were also screaming.
A dude's standard guards are six people, this kind of force is enough to support them to run amok in Luoyang, but now it seems that it is not enough in Chang'an, half of the people in the street went to beat Chen Zhu.
These people didn't look at Chen Zhu's clothes of the children of rich and noble families, and didn't look at the guards who bared their teeth and claws, so they started fighting regardless. Liu Yu and Wei Mian couldn't understand this scene. The manager of this place in Yunchu has caused great trouble.
"Stop it, you'll die if you hit him again, how can you find money from him to compensate the young lady of the Du family? Stop it for me.
All those who have nothing to do, don't block the streets. "
Old Zhang's majestic voice came from the crowd, and the neighbors who carried stools, sticks, brooms, kitchen knives, and butcher's knives dispersed cursingly.
This kind of behavior is also different from the reaction of Luoyang people. In contrast, Luoyang people are not so willing to obey the orders of officials. They are generally slower to respond. They have to go through a verbal dispute before leaving in doubt. .
What is different about the common people in Chang'an is that once the government intervenes, they immediately stop lynching.
Liu Yu and Wei Mian have seen Chen Zhu in black clothes fluttering like a celebrity, Chen Zhu with a loincloth tied around his waist, and Chen Zhu in silk shorts with hips wrapped around his waist. Haven't really seen it yet.
Chen Zhu is so miserable...
Even Liu Yu and Wei Mian did not expect that a person would be beaten so miserably. He was like a doll who had been raped by a group of tyrannical children and bitten by a group of dogs. You could see a little celebrity there Merry look.
"His tongue was spat out... feces and urine also came out."Liu Yu whispered to Wei Mian.
"Both arms also look broken."
"Tsk tsk, you see his legs are twisted like this, can he be cured?"
"Hey, for my boy, you should pay more attention to his crotch."
"The black mark with ink on the forehead should be from Lao Zhang, right?"
"Brother Liu, I'm going to write a letter to my family, bringing Zhuo Jing from Luoyang to live in Chang'an. What do you think, Brother Liu?"
"Hey, seeing Brother Chen Zhu's fate, I feel sorry for my little brother. It seems that my wife and dog should not stay in my hometown in Wangchuan."
As long as it is a man, after seeing Chen Zhu's tragic situation, it is difficult to have any discordant thoughts.
A pretty girl was hiding among a group of women, weeping, and kept telling everyone that she didn't want to live anymore.
It wasn't until the bad guys found a few bags of copper coins from Chen Zhu's carriage and threw a bag to the little lady who sold Liangpizi, claiming that it was compensation for her clothes, that she held the money bag and stopped saying those unlucky words.
Lao Zhang returned to Liu Yu and Wei Mian's side, threw a piece of licorice into his mouth, and said unwillingly: "The bad guys in Gou Ri have made a fortune again this time. I just saw that there are three bags of silver in the carriage. There are at least three bags of money in the carriage." Looks like twenty.
Well, the carriage is also good. It looks dark and heavy, and it is a good carriage made of good materials soaked in oil and can travel long distances. "
Liu Yu said with a smile, "It's a Biyouxiang chariot made in Luoyang. If you dig out the gold decorations on it, you can exchange it for at least a hundred coins."
Lao Zhang nodded and said, "It's really a good thing. It won't be auctioned in Chang'an."
Wei Mian laughed and said, "The two horses pulling the cart are also four-year-old BMWs, and their value is no less than that of the Biyouxiang chariot."
Lao Zhang sighed and said: "People who watched it are greedy, but unfortunately it is the business of bad people and has nothing to do with us."
Liu Yu looked at Lao Zhang and said, "Master Zhang, we two brothers are talking so much, not to tell you how valuable a BMW car is, but to tell you that the man on the ground who has been beaten so badly , will bring us great trouble."
"Trouble?" Old Zhang was a little puzzled.
Wei Mian sighed and said: "Chen Zhu's Aye is the transfer ambassador of Shannan Road, his uncle is Chen Shu, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, and his elder brother is Dianyi of Lu Wangfu. ..."
Lao Zhang didn't wait for Wei Mian to finish his sentence and said: "The bastard who can rape and humiliate women in the street is actually from a famous family?"
Liu Yu said: "It's not that he wants to rape women, this Chen Zhu just has a hobby, he likes to write poems on women's backs, and will give women a sum of money afterwards."
Old Zhang looked at Liu Yu with piercing eyes and said, "Have you done this kind of thing before? Where did you do it, and who is the one who suffered?"
Liu Yu was puzzled and said: "I often do it in Luoyang, but it seems to be the first time in Chang'an."
Hearing what Liu Yu said, Lao Zhang couldn't hide the regret on his face, and said to Liu Yu, "Luoyang, we can't reach in."
Wei Mian felt that Lao Zhang was out of his mind, so he continued to explain: "Chen Zhu was beaten so miserably, the members of the Chen clan should not let it go, Lao Zhang, you participated in the beating of Chen Zhu, there may be natural disasters.
Should have prepared earlier. "
Lao Zhang was puzzled and said: "Why would I be in trouble? The raping and humiliating woman in the street was taken down by everyone. The evidence of the crime is convincing. It is his luck that he was not beaten to death by the people in the street.
Huh?
No, why do you two have such strange thoughts?
This guy is just a prisoner, and soon there will be a judge who will be sentenced according to the law, rape and humiliate women in the street, this is a serious crime in Chang'an, and with his current situation, it is estimated that he has no chance of surviving to the place of distribution.
As for the elders of his family who dared to intercede for him, they would not be able to ask a child for laxity. This time, the old man will only be credited once for his act of righteousness, so there is no need to worry about it. "
After finishing speaking, looking at the speechless Liu Yu and Wei Mian, he immediately made a new decision. Lao Zhang felt that before teaching these two people how to manage the people, it is better to let them have an understanding of the laws of Chang'an. A clear understanding is more important.
Seeing the unscrupulous people throw the noble son and the beaten half-dead servant into the carriage, they dragged Liu Yu and Wei Mian to follow, wanting them to have a complete look at how the laws of Chang'an restrain the people.
Liu Yu and Wei Mian also don't believe that a son of a noble family would be ruined for raping a woman who sells Liangpi, not to mention, he would be sent three thousand miles away.
Especially seeing the carriage enter the Tai Hospital, this feeling is even stronger.
If these bad people really don't care, they won't take these people to the hospital for treatment.
Old Zhang said: "Healing is the power of the prisoner. In Chang'an, everyone has the right to be healed. Even if the prisoner will be taken to the execution ground and beheaded tomorrow, and he is injured today, he will still be treated."
Wei Mian laughed and said, "What's the point of doing this?"
Lao Zhang said with a serious face: "Power is power, and guilt is guilt. The front foot is treated, and the back foot is beheaded. The two do not conflict."
Liu Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Can you tell the Chen family members in Chang'an about this?"
Lao Zhang said: "Someone has been sent to inform."
Wei Mian sighed and said, "Chen Zhu can't die, and he will be taken away to heal his wounds immediately."
Lao Zhang chuckled, took out a string of money from his pocket and held it in his palm to Liu Yu, Wei Mian said, "Why don't we three make a bet."
Liu Yu and Wei Mian smiled at each other, took out a coin from their sleeves, put it in Lao Zhang's hand and said, "It's a bet."
Lao Zhang laughed happily, took the money back into his arms and said, "The treatment is over, just to see how he goes to prison."
Liu Yu and Wei Mian looked up to the sky and laughed. Although they didn't care about Lao Zhang's string of money, it was very in line with the two people's wishes to let Lao Zhang taste the hardships brought by the aristocratic family.
Seeing that Chen Zhu, who was bandaged like a mummy, was sent to the prison in Wannian County, Lao Zhang saw that it was getting late, so he weighed the two coins he just got and said: "The two young brothers are now lonely How about I invite the two of you to the canteen of Jinchangfang tonight to taste the water basin mutton there?"
Liu Yu looked at the two coins in Lao Zhang's hand and said, "As far as I know, these two coins belong to our brother."
Lao Zhang clutched the money and said, "After the bet, it will be the old man's."
Wei Mian said contemptuously: "The dust hasn't settled yet, why is it yours?"
Lao Zhang laughed and said, "What's the difference between making such a bet and giving me money for nothing?"
Through the contact with Lao Zhang these days, Liu Yu knew that this person was not arrogant, arrogant and ignorant, so he lowered his voice and said, "You really don't care about the Yingchuan Chen family?"
Old Zhang blinked his eyes and said: "Under the notice board at the gate of the Wannian County Government, the eldest son Cui was once chained up, and the houses on both sides of Zhuque Avenue were sold to a wealthy family at a price five times higher than the market price. When the house was sold that day, flags were fluttering, and gongs and drums were blaring.
Let's go, quickly go to Jinchangfang Canteen. Recently, their water basin mutton is selling very fast. If it is a little later, you won't be able to eat it. "
When Yunchu was packing up and going home, Master Mi slid into the government office, helped the magistrate clean up the map on the table, and whispered: "Chen Zhu, the son of Chen Fang, the transshipment ambassador of Shannan Road, was involved in rape and humiliation in Chang'an. People, captured by the common people in the street."
Yun Chu looked at Master Mi strangely and said, "Just follow the law, but you have other ideas?"
Master Mi said: "Shannan Road connects Jingchu in the east, reaches Longshu in the west, controls the Great River in the south, and occupies Shanghua Mountain in the north.
To the north of Dajiang, to the west of Hanshui River, to the south of Zhongnan, to the south of Beiling in the Central Plains, and to the east of Jiange in Shuzhong are all places where Shannan Road's transshipment ambassadors set foot. "
Yun Chu looked at Master Mi in surprise and said, "Speak directly, what do you want to do?"
Master Mi smiled and said: "Chen Zhu is the youngest son of Chen Fang, and I heard that he is quite favored. My subordinates want to use this Chen Zhu to expand the business roads south of Zhongnan for Chang'an, so that the hand of Qujiang Liushui brand can be extended. to farther places."
Yun Chu laughed and said: "I heard that Chen Zhu has been completely smashed by the common people, he can't even be considered a man. At this time, if you plan on Chen Fang again, I think the Yingchuan Chen family will go crazy .”
Master Mi said with a smile: "Chen Fang will serve as the transfer ambassador of Shannan Road, and he can sit for another four months."
Yun Chu thought for a while and said, "The law must not be memorized."
Master Mi said with a smile: "We must take advantage of the people Li Yifu is planning, otherwise such a good opportunity will be fleeting. As long as our goal is achieved, even if we don't hand over Chen Zhu to Chen Fang, he will be able to help us." what."
Yun Chu nodded and said, "That's very good, it's just that a certain family doesn't know about this matter."
Master Mi nodded repeatedly and said: "It's natural, a small case of rape and humiliation is naturally not in the eyes of the king."
Yun Chu let out a chuckle, pointed at Master Mi and said, "What do you plan to do with Chen Fang in exchange for you?"
Master Mi said coyly: "Shannan Road has jurisdiction over Xiang, Deng, Tang, Sui, Ying, Fu, Jun, Fang, Xia, Gui, Kui, Wan, Zhong, Liang, Yang, Jin, Shang, Feng, Xing, Li, Lang, Kai, Guo, He, Yu, Fu, Qu, Peng, Bi, Ba, Tong, Ji and other prefectures, this time Chen Fang fell, the prefectures and counties will definitely have a lot of changes.
The subordinate's uncle has been a speech officer for 20 years, and now he wants to be a state official. "
Yunchu's fingers began to tap intensively on the table, and after a while he said, "Golden State is a good place."
Master Mi frowned and said, "Hanyin County?"
Yun Chu shook his head with a smile and said: "Li Yi's mansion has always had an ugly diet, if you can give up Jinzhou Hanyin County, you can just laugh."
A ruthless look flashed in Master Mi's eyes, and he said in a low voice towards Yunchu: "I heard that this Chen Zhu has a lot of cases in Luoyang, and it is only because the local officials are afraid of the Chen family that they have escaped many times.
What if the subordinate handed over Chen Zhu to Li Yifu? "
Yun Chu smiled, pointed at Master Mi and said, "This method is too shameful. If you do this, it will be bad for your future official reputation. For your uncle's promotion, do you want to pay for your own future? I think you should think it over before deciding what to do."
Master Mi was stunned for a moment, then said in a low voice, "It's a dilemma."
Yun Chu said: "Don't think that there is no such thing as karma in this world. Everything you do is remembered by God. What you get today will definitely be returned twice in the future. Therefore, I advise you to be kind."
Master Mi cupped his hands and said: "In this case, let the officials think about it."
Yun Chu said: "Don't think about it, you are an official in Chang'an, I hope you will step up to a higher position in the future, not your uncle.
This is a matter of trust or not. If your family is persecuted, just say I disagree. "
Master Mi bent over to salute, and refused to get up for a long time.
