Chapter 327 Capture the Litigation Stick (Part [-])
It is the behavior of going to Beijing to sue the imperial court, which also occurs in later generations, but the name has changed slightly, which is much gentler, and it is called petitioning.

But no matter whether it is an impeachment petition or a petition, in short, this kind of thing has been the most hated phenomenon by local officials throughout the ages, and those who do this kind of thing are regarded as troublemakers by local officials without exception.

In Gao Yushi's previous life, he was actually quite a headache for petitioners, but fortunately he was not in charge of receiving petitioners at that time. In other words, it will not cause trouble to their county party committee.

Later, when he arrived in the town, he was barely an "ambitious" young cadre due to the narrowing of the handicap. The collective disputes among the people are not as serious as the mass petitions.

Therefore, he is quite open-minded about the petition, at least he will see what happened before talking about it, instead of taking people out without saying anything-crisis public relations is actually the homework that an excellent secretary must do.

However, it is clear that the officials of the Ming Dynasty probably did not have much personal experience with the "ocean of the people's war", let alone the awareness of crisis public relations, so their reactions were relatively simple and rude.

Here is a special interjection: This behavior of Shuai Jiamo may be shocking in other places, but if it is in Huizhou, it is really not very special.

Because Huizhou is a place with fierce folk customs.Of course, this "aggressiveness" does not mean that they are like Yiwu, where Qi's army likes to recruit soldiers. There are many mining areas, and the local people often fight and gang up.

The common people in China have always had a tendency to avoid lawsuits, believing that lawsuits are scandalous no matter whether they are justified or not, and those who love to litigate will be regarded as "troublemakers".In the past, the evaluation of local officials has always used "less litigation" as one of the important criteria for the integrity of the folk customs of a place.

However, Huizhou people's behavior is very disharmonious. It is very similar to the Americans of later generations. Brilliant words to sum it up: Litigation.

It is equivalent to saying that not only loves to litigate, but is also very good at fighting, if anything happens, go to the Yamen!
When Gao Wushi heard Liang Wu's introduction, he couldn't help laughing out loud.Liang Wu only thought that he was a Huizhou native at a joke, so he also made amends.In fact, Gao Yushi was really not mocking, he just suddenly found it funny: so there is such a place in my Ming Dynasty that is full of the spirit of the rule of law?

After the two finished laughing, Liang Xianzun continued to introduce the situation: It is precisely because of the large number of local lawsuits in Huizhou that Huizhou is rich in lawyers and litigators who are proficient in legal provisions. .So much so that every chief official of Huizhou felt that "you are the worst gangsters I have ever brought under my leadership", which caused me a lot of headaches and is known for being difficult to treat.

However, the origin of this folk custom was not cultivated in the Ming Dynasty. In fact, as early as the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi, who was born in Huizhou, had no choice but to comment on the local people: "Its customs are difficult to conquer with force, but easy to overcome with reason."— — If you hit me, you can't convince me. If you have the ability, let's talk about the law and make sense. If you can beat me, you are the master.

In fact, from this point of view, the habit of Huizhou people is actually quite a "gentleman".

So Shuai Jiamo couldn't win a lawsuit locally, so he resolutely went to Beijing to appeal. This approach is completely Huizhou style.

However, no matter who you are, Fan or Fan, if you spoil the good deeds of the official, you can only be a dead fan!
Huizhou Prefecture, together with the six counties under it, finally couldn't stand Shuai Jiamo, a life-or-death litigator.

You are so ignorant, you leapfrogged to report to Governor Yingtian and the two courts, for Haigangfeng's sake, we didn't bother to care about it, now that Haigangfeng is gone, you are even more courageous When you grow up, dare to go to Beijing to sue for imperial court?

If I don't teach you a lesson, you probably don't know why flowers are so popular!

In particular, Duan Chaozong, the prefect of Huizhou, suddenly received a private letter from his superior, the Hui'an Inspectorate—the full name is the Inspectorate of the Jiujiang Guards in Hui'an and other places. In the letter, the soldier stated to him: Someone quietly reported the case of Huizhou native Ding Sijuan to a court elder in Beijing. Although the elder did not make a clear statement, he also expressed an intention. The general meaning is that the case involves the tax system. Why has it not been investigated for a long time?

Incidentally, Huizhou Mansion happened to be the residence of Xin'an Guard, so it was only natural for Bingbei Dao to take care of them, and Bingbei Dao itself was also a civil servant.

A magistrate in the Zongzong District of the Duan Dynasty was naturally very anxious when he learned that this matter had been paid attention to by the elders and important ministers. But the most troublesome problem was that the elder did not express his position. Didn't check it out?"

This statement caused Duan Zhifu's judgment to be biased: Judging from this sentence alone, the elder has no clear position on this matter itself, and his main focus is on the poor efficiency of local affairs!
Uh, efficiency, it's a bit short, but isn't that because you want to delay things?

However, since the elder Ge is paying attention to the trouble, it is not easy to procrastinate on this matter, and he has to find a way to deal with it.

However, the previous factor still exists: if Shuai Jiamo's proposal is followed, the Huizhou government will not get any benefits, and it will offend six counties at once, and may even spark a civil uprising.

After thinking about it, Duan Zhifu still feels that his black hat is much more valuable than those things of justice and morality, so such a thing as stirring up a civil uprising must never happen, even if the probability of this happening is very small, probably only six The threat of the county cannot be turned a blind eye or ignored.

Then, we can only insist that the per capita silk and silk tax will continue to be borne by She County alone.

But since this is the case, then that litigation stick named Shuai Jiamo must not be allowed to continue jumping up and down, making trouble out of nothing!
Therefore, the Huizhou government immediately issued a license to She County, requiring She County to immediately summon the plaintiff, Shuai Jiamo, to the Huizhou government for interrogation.

But at this time, Shuai Jiamo had already set off to the north, and was not in Shexian County. Shexian County could not find anyone, so he had to reply to the Huizhou government that the plaintiff was missing.

Now the troubles are getting bigger. The Huizhou government was furious and asked She County to find someone. She County originally wanted to hide Shuai Jiamo's whereabouts, but at this time, they dared not hide it anymore, so they had to report to the superior, saying that Shuai Jiamo had already set off to the north to sue the imperial court. It's like...

The Huizhou government originally wanted to settle the case quickly, but when they got such news, they were naturally shocked and angry, and couldn't control their emotions anymore, so they directly issued cards to the yamen at the same level along the way to the north, asking them to help arrest Shuai Jiamo and bring him to the case !
