The rise of the poor

Chapter 1093 A shocking move
Zhu Pingan visited Yao's hometown for nearly an hour. While chatting about the daily life, he asked about the situation of Dayao Village and several nearby villages.

After Zhu Pingan left Yao's hometown, he continued to visit two villages, and then returned to the county government.

Through the visits, Zhu Ping'an strengthened his determination, and once he returned to the county government, he promoted the government servant.

"It's about to be released in the afternoon, why did you suddenly get promoted? Did Xiaoxian Zun take the wrong medicine?"

"If you don't know how to be a county magistrate, why don't you do it? When is this, and you're still promoted?! It's a joke."

"What is Xiaoxian Zun going to do?!"

All the officials in the county government received the notice of promotion, and they all slandered Zhu Pingan in various ways.

"Let's see what Xiaoxian Zun is going to do, and I'll adapt accordingly." Zhang Xiancheng instructed everyone like this.

The servants of the sixth house and others understood, followed Zhang Xiancheng and Yao Zhubo, and rushed to the lobby one after another.

"Officer Zhang, inform the prison guards to bring all the prisoners in the prison who have not paid their taxes to the lobby."

Zhu Pingan took out a "holding" lottery from the lottery tube and handed it to Liu Mu, who handed it to Zhang Danian, the prison official, and ordered him to notify the prison to bring all the prisoners who were imprisoned for not paying taxes to the lobby.

Put all the prisoners who didn't pay their taxes in the lobby? !Then there must be a hundred and ten people? !

What is Xiaozhi County doing? !

Zhang Dianli took the order and did not immediately execute Zhu Ping'an's order, but subconsciously looked at Zhang Xiancheng.

Zhang Xiancheng nodded unobtrusively, Zhang Dianli received Zhang Xiancheng's acquiescence, and then took orders to go to prison.

Zhu Ping'an narrowed his eyes, taking this scene into his eyes, knowing it clearly in his heart, and didn't make any reaction on his face.

After Zhang Dianli left, all the subordinate officials in the lobby whispered to each other, and the lobby was full of their buzzing voices.They didn't understand why Zhu Pingan brought all the prisoners who had not paid their taxes to the lobby for trial? !No need, they were arrested just because they didn't pay taxes, and they've already been in court.But why did Xiaozhi County bring them to the lobby again?Trial again?Playing prestige? !

Or should we use torture, beat them severely with sticks, torture them, and order them to pay taxes? !
If these prisoners who do not pay taxes are really tortured, maybe it is really possible to force some of them to pay taxes.

Don't tell me, this is really a method.

Tut tut, I really didn't expect that!

Fortunately, he is still a scholar, looking simple and honest, gentle and gentle, he is not very old, but he did not expect to be so dark and ruthless!

If he really wants to do this, maybe he can really force some people to pay back taxes and food.This is more or less a little performance after he took office. This is not allowed, and his conspiracy cannot be allowed to succeed.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiancheng couldn't help but look up at Master Yao who was beside him.

Director Yao had a sympathetic heart, and he understood Zhang Xiancheng's eyes in an instant. He smiled slightly, lowered his head and said to Zhang Xiancheng in a low voice, "Brother Zhang, don't worry. Officials are strictly prohibited from abusing punishment. Only when four conditions are met: 'committing a felony', 'clear evidence of stolen goods', 'disobedience to recruitment', and 'clear document', can criminals be punished. There are strict regulations: Except for homicide cases and robbery cases, the rest of the criminals can only be whipped. If you need to use torture tools such as sticks, clamps, brain boxes, and irons, you must go to each level. If he wants to use torture to force taxes, we, as officials of the imperial court, naturally cannot sit back and watch the county respect him for violating laws, abusing punishment, and bullying the people."

Zhang Xiancheng was reminded by Master Yao, and immediately felt relieved. The two looked at each other and smiled, everything was kept in silence.

Soon, Zhang Dianli led the prison guards and escorted more than a hundred prisoners who had not paid taxes and food to the lobby.

There were too many prisoners to stand in the lobby. Some prisoners stood outside the lobby and were guarded by jailers and yamen servants.

"Your Majesty!"

Yamen servants and jailers ordered all the prisoners to kneel down.

"mighty!"

The two rows of yamen servants under the court hall slammed the killing stick vigorously, shouting mighty, and the court hall suddenly became solemn.

"The grassroots/criminals pay homage to the county magistrate."

All the prisoners trembled, kneeling on the ground one by one, uneasy in their hearts, not knowing why the magistrate took them to court again, but a strong premonition enveloped them, as if they were going to be guillotined.

"Get up."

Zhu Pingan sat on the high hall and raised his right hand to make the prisoners stand up.

All the prisoners got up anxiously, their legs trembling, anxiously waiting for the fate to come.

"You are all prisoners who have not paid taxes." Zhu Pingan looked at the prisoners and said slowly.

Straight to the point, if you see it poorly, this is to use torture to extort taxes, right? !
Zhang Xiancheng and others looked at Zhu Pingan, and when they were about to wait for Zhu Pingan to use torture, they decisively dissuaded him in accordance with the "Daming Law" and other laws, so as to prevent Zhu Pingan's plot to extort taxes by torture from succeeding.

"Master Zhixian, we didn't deliberately not pay taxes, we really couldn't make up the taxes..."

"Last year's harvest was not good..."

"We really didn't intend to resist the tax. My mother-in-law is sick, and all the food is sold to buy medicine. The county magistrate..."

A prisoner couldn't help explaining anxiously.

"quiet!"

All the Yamen servants knocked on the ground with their killing sticks and ordered the prisoners to be quiet. The prisoners were frightened and did not dare to speak out.

Everyone looked at Zhu Ping'an, waiting for Zhu Ping'an's next move.

The ceremonial officials and criminal officials were instructed by Zhang Xiancheng and Master Yao, and they had already lifted half of their buttocks, and they were waiting for Zhu Pingan to order to use torture to extort taxes. According to Chenghua regulations, prevent and oppose Zhu Ping'an.

In the midst of everyone's attention, Zhu Ping'an got up from the lobby and looked at the prisoners in the courtroom.

All the prisoners were in fear, fighting with each other, feeling like a catastrophe was imminent.

The pupils of Zhang Xiancheng and Master Yao contracted slightly, and their eyes were focused on Zhu Ping'an. The buttocks of the officials in the ceremony room and the office of torture were lifted by a third, and only a little buttocks were touching the chair.

"You are all prisoners held without paying your taxes."

In the midst of everyone's attention, Zhu Pingan continued the sentence just now and continued, "You are also the sons, husbands and fathers of the family. You also have families, parents, wives and children, and you also have to live. It is almost September, and soon It’s time for the early rice harvest. In order not to delay the farming season, and for the sake of your parents, wives and children, the official hereby grants you permission to go home for the autumn harvest. However, when the autumn harvest is over, you must report back to the prison as soon as possible. Now, you can all back home."

ha?
what? !

As soon as Zhu Ping'an's words fell, Zhang Xiancheng, Yao Zhuzhu and the sixth house subordinates all looked at Zhu Ping'an in shock.

unbelievable!

can not believe!

Zhu Ping'an...he, he...he is really defying the world!Has he eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall? !Does Zhu Pingan know what he is doing, releasing more than a hundred prisoners to go home for harvest? !In the whole world, in history, no magistrate has ever dared to do such a crazy thing! ! !He, Zhu Pingan, the county magistrate, doesn't want to do it, does he? !

Zhang Xiancheng gasped, pointed at Zhu Ping'an with a trembling finger, his eyes were wide open, almost popping out of their sockets, his mouth was so shocked that he couldn't make a sound.

In fact, the most shocking thing is not them.

It was the trembling, uneasy, and apprehensive prisoners in the lobby waiting for the imminent disaster.

A group of prisoners who thought they were in danger, unexpectedly heard Zhu Pingan's order to let them go home for autumn harvest. They couldn't believe their ears, and they couldn't believe that the county magistrate wanted to let them go home for autumn harvest. ? !
is this real?
This is a great surprise!

The prisoners pinched their arms and felt the pain in their bones. Fang believed it was true. The county magistrate really wanted to let them go home for the autumn harvest. They were unbelievably happy, and many prisoners even cried in excitement.

"Master Qingtian, thank you very much, Master Qingtian."

"Don't worry, my lord. I will return to the prison on time after the autumn harvest. If anyone dares not to go back to the prison, I, Da Niu, will be the first to spare him!"

"After the autumn harvest, we must go back to the prison to report. If anyone does not come back, he will have no children and grandchildren."

A group of prisoners knelt on the ground, thanked Zhu Pingan incoherently, and swore that they would return to the prison after the autumn harvest.
