Chapter 14: Only by correcting the case file can you sleep

"This man is named Li Yuan. He owes two buckets of rent, but it says he said he has handed it over to the village official in their village. How can this be directly sentenced? Come on, go to Wangshan Village to find their village official and ask clearly, Master Zhan, let's wait while looking at the next one, this is..."

Zhang Zhong was really facing each other with the lord Bo and the county magistrate. This pair was right at noon. There were two cases that needed to be imprisoned for a few more days, and the others had to be released. This was just the right forty-five cases, and Zhang Zhong was still so energetic.

County Magistrate Xiao and Master Zhan were lit their heads from time to time. The two of them wanted to sleep, but Zhang Zhong was standing, and they could only stand. They didn't want to let anyone go. When they arrested these people with County Magistrate Wen, they were just for demonstration. If it were normal, they would have many things to make excuses, so that Zhang Zhong could not let anyone go.

Today is different. They have not slept for two days and two nights and have done so much work. Now they have stood there for another morning and their stomachs are already empty, so they can only drink some water from time to time.

Finally, County Magistrate Xiao, who had the best brain, couldn't hold on anymore and begged Zhang Zhong, saying, "Sir, I think what you said in the morning is right. These people should be kept and put away. You can do it as long as you do. I agree, Master Zhan is boast of you?"

"You can't let people go casually. There are some people on this who borrowed my family's money and couldn't pay it back. If they were released, who could still pay me back my money? Do you want those from your family?"

Zhan Zhubo was already in a state of half sleep and half awake. When he heard what Xiao County Chief said, he directly said what he thought. As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he wanted to explain what he wanted to explain.

Zhang Zhong slapped the table with his hands and said, "As the officials of the court, you dare to privately place printing money to the people. You are so brave. After completing the case files, you will get the case files for me now."

"Sir, don't do it anymore. Just as County Magistrate Xiao said just now, you can do whatever you say." Zhan Zhubo was completely awake at this time.

"Okay, I'm here to take care of these cases. You can write the document for revising the case. Have you put money out?" Zhang Zhong asked again.

Naturally, the two of them would not admit it, and they said they had not. They picked up the case files and changed it. This matter needs to be reported at that time. The two of them thought to correct it as soon as possible and go to bed.

Zhang Zhong smiled as he looked at the two of them leaving, asked the yamen runners to find a penman, and said to them: "Now, just write a notice, and write, the yamen Zhubo and County Magistrate Xiao were framed and said that they were giving money out. There was nothing like this. Any money released by someone in the name of them will not need to be returned.

Just write this, it’s too literary to the people. It’s already noon. You insist on it, write a few more pictures, and after finishing writing, go to Jinlailou for dinner. You can’t let some sluts slander the Lord Bo and the county magistrate.”

These officials did not expect that the county magistrate was so cruel. They knew how much money the magistrate had released. After careful calculation, they had already had 3,000 guan. The money they had obtained in recent years, except for spending some money with a concubine, they didn't even buy land. They released all the money they had obtained in the past few years.

On weekdays, they just take advantage of the money or have some freedom. If all of this money is gone, the two of them will be crazy? But the county magistrate asked to write, who dared not? In just two days, the county magistrate fought with the county magistrate and the county magistrate without much strength to fight back.

Several officials were gloating there while writing. Who made those money not get much? The total amount of money was not half a percent. All the money was all in the hands of County Magistrate Wen and the two of them. Now, County Magistrate Wen was still asking someone to come out, and the money of these two people was gone in the blink of an eye.

Zhan Zhubo and Xiao County Chief had no idea that Zhang Zhong was doing something bad for them. They were still drinking tea and slugging the 120 case files, and each of them divided half of them. When they saw the content on it, they found an excuse to be acquitted, just hoping that they could finish the correction as soon as possible.

There were two guards brought by Zhang Zhong at the door of the house where the two of them were watching, but they were not allowed to sleep. There were also guards outside the yamen. Except for the people who came to complain, other idle people were not allowed to come in, especially those who were looking for the lord Bo and the county magistrate.

The two of them changed the room for an hour and a half. After the modification, they threw the pen away and stopped going home. They just slept at their desks. At this time, the two guards ignored them and put them together the modified case files and handed them to Zhang Zhong. Zhang Zhong put his own seal on them and could be released.

The door of the prison cell was opened from outside with a bang, and the afternoon sun shone in obliquely. The prisoner entering from the door had to squint his eyes and look out to see which unlucky person was locked in, or whose family occasionally came to see him.

Zhang Zhong stood at the door of the cell himself, and a bad smell rushed out from inside, making people's eyes sore and their mouths and noses tight. After waiting for a while, the smell gradually became smaller. Zhang Zhong took out the more than 120 case files, took out one from the top, and said:

"Fan Yu was detained for theft. Now it's time to release him. Go back and do your best. Never do that illegal thing again."

A cheering sound came from the cell, which turned into a loud cry. A yamen runner went in and opened the lock of the cell. The man who was asked Fan Yu to stagger out, dared not look out, covered his eyes with his hands, and prepared to wait a while before leaving.

"Xu Yang, he was detained for owing rent. After verified, he did not owe rent and tax and was acquitted." Zhang Zhong then read the name of a person.

Similarly, there was a crying sound coming from there, and Zhang Zhong was in a bad mood. Now he was letting go, but how do you calculate the time you were wasted in? If there was one person working at home, how do you calculate this? But he could only do this, and there was no other way.

"Zhang Lingqi was detained for having no money for food and was released without a crime."

Zhang Zhong recited one by one. Every time he read a person, he would make a move similar to crazy. It was so unfair to be locked up. The person who read the name was happy. The person who did not read the name suddenly realized that he was preparing to release him today. Will he have himself?

"Sir, is there anyone who is going to be released in there called Xiaoba? The surname is Wang." A prisoner couldn't help asking.

"What's this adult? The adult is the new county magistrate of Huayuan County. Wait, come one by one, and then shout and continue to be locked up." A yamen runner scolded loudly next to him.

The person who was scolded did not look at all unhappy, but shouted happily, "Oh my God, you finally opened your eyes, changed, changed, come to the New County Magistrate."

The other prisoners who were imprisoned also shouted, and only one person in the prison was unhappy, that was Zhang Damazi. He was locked up in a room alone, with fences on all sides, but walls on all sides. He heard the shouts outside, but he was also told, but it was because of the new county magistrate who came into prison.

Another yamen runner took advantage of this time to gild Zhang Zhong's face and shouted to it: "Everyone is a little quiet, do you know who our new county magistrate is? The top scholar in the imperial examination was the first Jinshi and the top scholar. He could have served as a sixth-rank official in Beijing, but he insisted on being a seventh-rank county magistrate in our county.

The adults are not only full of talent, but also love the people as much as their children. In order to handle the case, they don’t even care about their son’s injuries. In addition, the adults’ family has a lot of money and will no longer charge more taxes and rent to leave behind for themselves.”

The yamen runners shouted there, and the people in the cell listened quietly and were not in a hurry to go out. Anyway, it was not bad for a while. After listening to the yamen runners finishing there, the people cheered.

Zhang Zhong did not stop him, and let the yamen runners say that this is reputation, and after these individuals go out, they will help promote it.

As they were thinking about it one by one, the people didn't leave immediately after they came out, covered their eyes there, preparing to wait until they got used to it, and they could take a good look at what the new county magistrate looked like, and it was easy to talk to their family when they went back.

Waiting for the last prisoner to come out, the door of the cell closed again, and those people were almost adapting. They looked at Zhang Zhong carefully, and Zhang Zhong stood there with a righteous look on his face, letting others see it.

Just as they were watching, two servants from the Zhang family pushed a car and came here. One of them said to Zhang Zhong: "Master, we have sent the money you asked us to send. You can pay them three cents a day according to the number of days they were imprisoned and the time they were imprisoned but had been imprisoned for more time."

Zhang Zhong understood as soon as he heard this. This money was sent by his son. At that time, the money would be deducted from the yamen. There was no law, but there was still a way to deduct the money. He felt that if these people went back, they would not have no money at all. If the family happened to catch up with an urgent matter, they could use it.

He said immediately: "Well, okay, wait until I see when they are detained. Don't leave first, wait for me to replenish you money."

Zhang Zhong agreed and said to those who were about to leave.

Those individuals were already very happy when they came out, but they didn't expect that there would be any compensation money? Where did this come from? I have never been there before, especially those who have been imprisoned for three years. At this time, I can't say whether they are sad or happy. He can take away more than three guan of money, but no one has come to see him for the past three years, and I don't know what happened.

Zhang Zhong flipped through the case files there and called a person's name. The person paid the money and received the money. He knelt down and kowtowed three times before leaving. One by one, it took half an hour to get all the money and pressed his handprints.

Zhang Zhong felt that he was in a much better mood, but he didn't know when Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan discussed the compensation methods and amounts, and he was always in a bad mood. No one knew what kind of development the person would have after the time wasted.
