Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Tang Xiaoxian felt that Yu Baien's method was very good. King Qi and the court now attach great importance to the restoration of production. Governments at all levels have issued many policies to protect cattle and other production materials. But the local parishioners in Songjiang slaughtered the cattle for their own appetite, and they had to ask the government to help them relax the law. If Tang Xiaoxian didn't handle this matter strictly, he would be investigated in the future. The predecessor who was willing to pay taxes was also sent to prison by the Ministry of Punishment.

It's a trivial matter whether to be promoted or not. Tang Xiaoxian has just been changed from the army to the magistrate of a hundred households, and his **** has not been hot, so he thinks about promotion. At the moment, Tang Xiaoxian called Ding Zhubo and told the other party what he wanted to do for those parishioners. After hearing this, Ding Zhubo was very frightened and felt uneasy. He couldn't help his parents, but when he thought that he was a court official, not a middle-level teacher, he was relieved and actively cooperated with Tang Zhixian. Otherwise, he won't have to wait for the top to trouble him, and "in charge of" Tang Zhixian can make him suffer a lot. In addition, the churchmen should beat him, otherwise they will always bring the master out to press him, and tell him how to live in this official.

There is no king's land under the whole world; no king's ministers are on the coast of leading the land.

Religious people are also people, how can they rely on their status to be outside the king's law and refuse to obey the king's law. Through this incident, it would be good to let the parishioners know that the law of the Great Ming is powerful.

Jiading belongs to Songjiang Prefecture, and the inhabitants of this Songjiang Prefecture are all descended from 36 Semu households in the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, and there are about 50,000 people. The more than 50,000 religious people live around the White Crane Temple, a great religious temple built by Nasuradin, a Semu native from the Western Regions. There is a religious tomb in the temple. The parishioners hardly farmed, but only engaged in various commerce and handicrafts. In the early years, there were the most soldiers from the Western Regions in the city of Songjiang Prefecture, so the folks also called Songjiang Old City as the city of Christians. Nearly three hundred years after the fall of Meng and Yuan, the churchgoers had already changed their Han surnames, spoke Chinese, and used Chinese characters. Their appearances were no different from those of the Han people, but they always regarded themselves as churchgoers and did not consider themselves Han Chinese. I always used to look for a master teacher, not an official.

Ding Zhubo is an outstanding member of the church people. He studied hard to become an official in Fangzhong since he was a child. Naturally, he wanted to make a difference, so that the family members respected him, not looked down on him, and he didn't want to be implicated by them because of this.

When Songjiang cleared its debt earlier, the interests of the parishioners were also harmed. Although the parishioners did not farm, they had a lot of savings. Over the years, they would buy land and rent it to the locals for farming. Over time, they would evade taxes like the local gentry. After the debts were cleared, a large number of churchgoers were forced to pay a large amount of tax debts. Many churchgoers, like those Han gentry, were dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty and fled to the north with their families. There are still a lot of churchgoers left, and they complain a lot about the changes in the government over the years. I heard that many churchgoers are in private contact with those Han Chinese gentry who are dissatisfied with the government and want to cause trouble. It may be a temptation to ask Ding Ladong to intercede with the government and allow them to slaughter cattle and eat meat. Otherwise, the king's law is clearly there, and it is not allowed to slaughter the cattle privately, how can these clergymen dare to do it knowingly.

It's just that although Ding Ladong is a member of the church, his relationship with the church has faded since he became an official, so some insider relatives won't tell him. Tang Xiaoxian is here to discuss the matter on a case-by-case basis. He just wants to punish the parishioners who break the law, but he doesn't think about it deeply.

Early the next morning, Tang Xiaoxian called Shengtang to conclude the case. Yu Baien was idle and had nothing to do, so he listened in the hall as a master.

The yamen first brought in a chicken thief, an old criminal who had been beaten by Tang Xiaoxian before. Seeing this old criminal again, Tang Xiaoxian couldn't help but said angrily: "You thief, you have committed two crimes in the hands of this county, and you are still in your old business.

That chicken thief was also an old fritter, knowing that he was just stealing chicken, and the government couldn't kill him. With a timid expression on his face, he thought in his heart that he could only play the board, and he would be fine if he just told the county master to play happy. The next time I steal it, I will go far away, so as not to commit the crime again in the hands of this Tang County Venerable.

Tang Xiao saw the chicken thief's eyes flickering, how could he not know what he was thinking, the more he thought about it, the more he wrote, when he brought up the red pen, he wrote the three words "chicken thief" on the old criminal's face, and then took a big flail and shackled him. They also asked the yamen to tie the chicken that the old criminal had stolen, head back and tail forward, tied it to his head, and shackled it out. It was only after he got out of the county gate that the chicken fart squeaked in his butt, and a thin feces came out, dripping from the forehead to the nose, and the beard was stained and dripped onto the flail.

The onlookers outside the county office laughed when they saw the chicken thief being so embarrassed. It was also the first time for Yu Baien to see Tang Xiao decide the case first, and he couldn't help but be happy to see him being so ingenious.

After arresting the chicken thief, Tang Xiaoxian called for the clergyman to be brought up. The master was wearing a hat, and he still didn't know why he was suddenly locked up by the yamen. When he got to the hall, the master wanted to find Ding Zhubo, but Ding Zhubo was not in the hall.

"mighty!"

The yamen officers drank their prestige and told the master to kneel down. The master was reluctant in his heart, and it can be seen that he did not dare not kneel in this posture. As soon as he knelt down, Tang Xiaoxian attacked immediately, angrily scolding the master and the other disciples for being ignorant. Only beat the master to the breaking point. After finishing the incident, he asked the yamen to get a big flail and piled the fifty catties of beef on the flail. The master's face and neck were tightly bound, and only two eyes were left, and he showed it to the public in front of the county.

The churchmen who were waiting for news outside the yamen were unconvinced when they saw that the master was shackled by the government, but no one dared to stand up, so they just watched the master call the big shackle there. Tang Xiao originally wanted to shackle the master for a few days, not to ruin his life, and let them know what they can do and what they can't do. I don't want that master to die on the third day without the shackles~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This time, things are broken. All the religious people usually respect the master, but the master is willing to be put to death by the government. So, led by the staff of the Dajiao Temple, thousands of religious people came from all directions of Jiading to the county seat. They sounded the gong and stopped the market, driving away the Han people all the way, not allowing the Han people to open their doors, and when they saw the meat stall, they came forward and overturned it. Along the way, he shouted all the way, asking the government to lose his life for the master.

During the chaos, some Han gentry and landlords in Jiading who were dissatisfied with the government because of their debts also joined in, trying to drive Tang Xiaoxian away. They said to those parishioners, "You shouldn't send beef, and you shouldn't be charged with capital punishment. This time, you're going to the yamen, and the official surnamed Tang will be arrested and beaten to death. The law will not blame the public. There are so many people. , what can the government do?"

The parishioners had troubles in their minds, and the Han landlords incited them again, and the troubles became bigger and bigger. Until noon, thousands of religious people surrounded the county government office, and they kept saying that they only needed to find Tang Xiaoxian and beat him to death.

Tang Xiaoxian was startled, and hurriedly called a few confidants to come in to discuss, and then asked Yu Baien what to do.

"This is gathering a crowd to make chaos, and using this to oppose the imperial court."

Yu Bai'en was also ruthless, and he gave **** to the matter in one word. He said to Tang Xiaoxian: "You are an official of the imperial court, Jiading's parents, the master teacher of the people has violated the king's law, and it is not wrong for you to sentence him to be shackled."

"That's what I said, but people were chained to death after all." Tang Xiaoxian didn't complain about Yu Baien's idea, but felt that no matter what, the master told him to be chained to death, as if the crime would not kill him.

Yu Baien sneered: "Brother Tang, I have seen King Qi's decree that privately slaughtering cattle is an unforgivable crime. According to the law, execution is right. You enforce the law impartially, what's wrong with it?"
