Chapter 624: The New Governor is a great official

In the Tang Dynasty, officials did not allow the trial of cases like the Ming and Qing dynasties, and of course, the court did not say that the trial was not allowed. Between permission and the disallowing, most officials would choose not to allow it.

During the trial process, the people were officially allowed to listen. The official who watched the trial was Di Renjie behind Wang Ping'an. But even Di Renjie was in the middle and late stages. Due to the accumulation of experience in case-breaking, he had strong confidence and was not afraid of the people's attendance, so he was allowed to stand outside the door to watch him judge the case.

Even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was not normal for officials to allow the people to listen when they tried cases. There were only a few unforgivable major cases, and the government would only open to listen when the case was finalized.

In the early Tang Dynasty, when the style of the aristocratic family had just been broken, no official had officially opened to listen. However, as in film and television dramas, the officials in the hall were filming the gavel, and a group of people were watching and making excuses. This situation... Anyway, it rarely happened in the early Tang Dynasty, except for the extraordinary situation.

Before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, let alone the gap between aristocratic families and civilians, even between aristocratic families, there was a high-ranking and poor family. Officials and civilians were simply incomprehensible. It was the affairs of officials who decided to make a case. What power does the people have to watch? This is one of them.

The second is serious, especially for officials, that is, officials may not be proficient in the law. Sometimes they can’t think of which law to use when they are trialing, so it’s so embarrassing to investigate! If an official cannot think of which law to use when they are trialing, and there are people watching outside, then the official can only slap the arson, call him withdrawal and retrial a day.

It’s not an official, but if you don’t sit after a major case, you can say it no matter how you say it, but once you become an official, your mentality will change immediately. The official-oriented thought prevails, and no official is willing to make a fool of himself in public. Until the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were officials who were running back to investigate the law when they were trialing cases. In the era when the style of the clans in the early Tang Dynasty was still strong, it would be like dreaming that officials would risk being embarrassed and allow the people to attend the trial case.

An era has its own characteristics, which is a reality. If any official can break the characteristics of this era, it will definitely be remembered by the people and the deeds of this official are widely circulated.

For example, Di Renjie, who is like a god in his judgment of a case!

Unfortunately, Di Renjie is still a small county magistrate now. He is not able to analyze Di Ge Lao who can touch his beard in the future. His confidence has not been cultivated yet!

When Di Renjie heard Wang Ping'an say that the people were allowed to listen, he was immediately anxious. He was the county magistrate and he must go to the court to try the case. It would be impossible for him to leave it all to his subordinates. If he didn't try the case well when he came to the court, wouldn't it be embarrassing? He couldn't afford to lose this person, and no one would be able to lose it if he had changed!

Di Renjie pulled Wang Ping'an's sleeve and whispered: "Brother, go in and say something, what do you want to listen to? What do you know about the people? Why do you want them to listen to? Let them listen to it, isn't it a waste of time? If you have this time to do some work, make more money, and add some food to your wife and children's bowls!"

Qiu Tingxuan sweated on his forehead, and he also said, "Yes, no illness... Governor, for the sake of the people, it is better not to let them listen. Everyone does their own work. Officials have their duties, and the people have their work. They cannot be confused!"

Wang Ping'an turned around and glared at them, saying, "What does it mean to be confused? This official is called open trial and transparent verdict. The people supervise our Qingzhou officialdom, bringing a gentle breeze to Qingzhou!"

Later, all the officials in Qingzhou ran out. When they heard Wang Ping'an's words, they were all grinning, and the breeze was still slow. What are you doing? You are deliberately repairing us, right? You are the governor, how many cases can you try? We are not allowed to do the work of the case trial, and we will be scolded at that time!

The people below were very excited after hearing this. Regardless of whether this matter could be accomplished or not, Wang Ping'an said this, and the passion of the people below was "incited" by him. Hundreds of people shouted: "Master Qingtian, Wang Qingtian, Wang Qingtian!"

Even though they are excited, the people have forgotten a little. The people supervise officials? Even if there is something tricky about supervision, how can they still treat officials? Who dares to do anything?

But Wang Ping'an can say this, it is a good performance in itself. Whether he can achieve political achievements is one thing, and whether he can make people feel that he has achieved political achievements is another thing. This is something that cannot be confused!

Wang Ping'an shouted: "I am the official in Qingzhou. The case is openly tried by me!" He waved his hand and said: "Come on, bring a chair, and I will be here to try the case. Also, you beat the gong and shout on the street, so that the people will come to listen to the case and supervise the case. If the official's case is not clear and there is any mistake in covering up the random judgment, the villagers can point it out on the spot and correct it immediately!"

The officers thought to themselves: "You are really not afraid of making things worse. If you start this boss today, you will be the one who will take it for you in the future. That's a big trouble!"

It is better to have less than more things, but no one dares to be dissatisfied with the public? Anyway, they are not asking them to try the case. The head of the service looked at Che Sitong behind Wang Ping'an, and saw Che Sitong's face turned as blue as black and bright as it was. The ugly thing was, the ugly thing was.

Because it was too ugly, the head of the service did not dare to look at it anymore. He waved his hand and asked the service staff to go and do it quickly. A service staff had already brought a chair for Wang Ping'an and let the governor sit at the door. The other dozen servants, carrying gongs, ran to the street and summoned the people.

Wang Ping'an pointed at him and said, "Let him loosen his ties. Before the case is decided, he cannot be considered a prisoner. Just let him kneel aside and kneel down the steps. The same goes for you!" The latter sentence was said to Boss Du.

Li Zheng and Boss Du both knelt down the steps, and behind them were several guards, and later, there were more and more people gathered.

After a quarter of an hour, there were already thousands of people coming to see the fun. The people were talking a lot, but they didn't understand what the new governor was trying to get crazy. Just try the case, why do you have to openly try the case?

Some people whispered: "Isn't the New Governor a famous young doctor in Ping'an in Chang'an? I heard that he had a few tricks to see a doctor. Could it be that the case was very powerful?"

Some people said, "This is called "Three Fires for the New Office to Take the Terms". Look, there will definitely be someone's head today!"

"This is going to kill people. This new governor is cruel enough!" another commoner said.

There are many people among the people who understand the truth, at least they think they understand the truth. One of them said: "Is it okay to be cruel? You have to be cruel? Can you collect taxes if you don't ruthlessly? Look at it, today the new governor must kill people, so that we all know that he is cruel and ruthless, and then there will be taxes. Let anyone dare not pay it. If you don't pay it, you will chop your head in public!"

Many people spit out and said, "Officials increase taxes, we have to pay, can we escape you?"

Jin Sanquan was also among the crowd. He heard that Wang Ping'an was going to openly try the case, so he naturally had to listen. But he didn't hear how Wang Ping'an tried the case, but first heard the people's comments. He thought to himself: "No, the prince is not that kind of person. He can't be more cruel than former Ji, right?"

Seeing that the person was almost here, Wang Ping'an said: "Okay, this governor will start the trial now. Plaintiff, you can state it first!"

Li Zheng was a little stupid. Not to mention that his forehead was covered with sweat, his clothes were soaked in sweat. His whole body seemed to have just been caught from the water, and he even felt exhausted. He heard Wang Ping'an talk, but he couldn't figure out who the plaintiff was.

The servant behind pushed him and said, "Speak, Lord Governor asks you to state the case, you are the plaintiff!"

Li Zheng said, but still didn't understand what was going on.

Wang Ping'an had no choice but to say again: "You are the official in Hetou Village, the person responsible for supervising Boss Du, tell me what happened!"

Only then did Li Zheng realize that after a long time of work, he was the plaintiff. The statement means to say things. Just talk about things. What else do you say? I thought the statement was a personal name!

He told the story over and emphasized that he was thinking about the safety of the governor, so he made this misunderstanding, which was definitely not intentional frame-up. I would like to ask the governor to be kind and not to punish himself.

After hearing this, Wang Ping'an asked Boss Du to tell him what happened. Boss Du said about his entry into the city today, saying that he forgot to report to the place, not intentionally.

After hearing this, Wang Ping'an stood up and asked, "Dear fellow villagers, have you all heard the reason for this case clearly?"

It’s not a complicated case, so it’s impossible to hear clearly. When the people heard that Boss Du was under supervision, it turned out that everyone felt inconsistency was because of something almost thirty years ago. They felt that Boss Du was wronged and had nothing to do with it. Isn’t this full and full?

But if you say that Li is holding a chicken feather as a command arrow, this behavior is a bit too much, but he is also focused on his duties and has no faults. If he is punished for this, it will be unfair to Li is. Who dares to do business for the government in the future?

Some people whispered: "As they said, who should we kill?"

"Officials should kill the one with the surname Du, right? Li Zheng is his own person in the government." Some people speculated.

And some people said, "It may not be necessary. Killing one's own people can show ruthlessness. I guess the governor wants to kill someone, and he also wants to kill that Li Zheng!"

The people guessed everything, but they just said in a low voice, without answering Wang Ping'an's words loudly.

Wang Ping'an waited for a while, but he didn't expect the people to really shout out anything. He said, "This case is right. He is responsible and focused on handling the work. I, Qingzhou, need such an official. Come, take the money from Curry and reward it to Li Zheng."

Li Zheng was overjoyed. He thought the governor would punish him. Isn’t the governor acquaintance with Boss Du? How could he let him go and revise Boss Du?

The people who were attending the audience were a little disappointed. It was indeed the officials who were in contact with each other, while some thought to themselves: "This governor is not cruel enough. In the end, it is better to attack the common people and not kill his own people!"
