Chapter 6 Disregarding the Law
When Xie Zhan returned to Fengyuan, Xie Yuan had already changed into dry clothes and was waiting for him at the courtyard gate.

Seeing Xie Zhan's return, Xie Yuan immediately stepped forward to greet him graciously, and said excitedly: "Cousin, you are finally back!"

Xie Zhan kept walking, walked straight forward, glanced at his cousin in white who was half a head shorter than him, "What are you doing?"

While chasing Xie Zhan's footsteps, Xie Yuan begged eagerly: "Cousin, I'm here to ask you for an idea, how much money should I send to my cousin's house tomorrow."

"Sister-in-law?" Xie Zhan finally stopped, his eyes full of amusement.

"The other cousins, don't they all call sister-in-law?" Xie Yuan replied.

Xie Zhan snorted softly, the wedding date has not yet been set, and Fuxuan didn't know when she would enter the house, and now she fell into trouble at Xie's house, and she unexpectedly found a loyal one.

But when he thought about his mother's advice just now, he suddenly became irritable for no reason, and he said perfunctorily, "Didn't she say that you can give as much as your life is worth?" Really want his money.

Xie Zhan's words are probably the same as if he didn't say anything. Xie Yuan's mind is always simple, so how can he figure out the meaning?He frowned, looked sadly at his tall and indifferent back of his cousin, turned around and looked at Shi Qing asking for help, "Brother Shi."

Shi Qing hurriedly cupped his hands, "Third Young Master."

Xie Yuan looked sincerely, "What do you mean by cousin? Should I give more or less?"

Shi Qing touched his chin with his hand, rolled his eyes, and said, "I heard earlier that Mrs. Zhun usually likes to go shopping on the street."

Xie Yuan suddenly realized, and his eyes lit up, "Ah! I understand! I'll go and raise some money, and I'm sure my cousin will be satisfied!"

Early the next morning, Xie Zhan arrived at Dali Temple as usual.

He first went to the case office to check the files before returning to his own room. As soon as he passed by the door of the room where the temple ministers under him were handling the case, he heard Li Sicheng complaining to the people: "Talk about it, talk about it, Here we go again! In just over ten days, this is the third case sent by Jingzhao County. If all the ten prefectures are like this, we will not be able to handle other cases."

Daliang implements a three-level system of state, county and county.Dali Temple is responsible for the trial of crimes committed by hundreds of officials in the central government, cases of imprisonment above Jingzhao, and difficult cases in the ten prefectures of Daliang and the counties and counties under the prefecture.As the governor of Gyeonggi, Jingzhao County is only responsible for Jiankang City and the nine counties under its jurisdiction, and the cases sent to Dali Temple are only a fraction of the number of cases.

Zheng Sicheng responded rather helplessly: "That's not true. But what can be done? Who can easily offend those masters? Fortunately, this policy is only being tried in Jingzhao at the moment, and it can give us a slow boost. "

Xie Zhan strode across the threshold and asked, "What case did Jingzhao County send?"

Seeing that it was Shangfeng, the two hurriedly got up to salute. Li Sicheng replied, "It's another one caused by the registration of a white household registration. Only this time, it's not about beating the government officials to the ground, but after beating them, They also detained people."

Xie Zhan frowned, another question left over from history.

Decades ago, due to the war in the north, many refugees fled to Daliang from Dazhou, the northern country. At that time, the late emperor Nian was short of manpower in Daliang, so he agreed with several important ministers to take them all in.And in order to make their lives stable and prevent turmoil, they are exempted from paying taxes, exempting corvee, and exempting military service. Their household registrations are recorded on white paper. the difference.This group of people is undoubtedly the most affordable labor force. They have won the favor of the major families and become special populations in the fields and manors of each family.

In recent years, Bai Ji has already passed through the difficult time, and the current life is not much different from that of Huang Ji, and more and more people are mixed into Bai Ji. In addition, Huang Ji is increasingly dissatisfied with the special rights of Bai Ji. The Taiwei's proposal was approved, and the "white registration" household registration was registered in plain text and officially converted to the "yellow registration".The Gyeonggi region, that is, the land under the jurisdiction of Gyeongzhao County, will take the lead in implementing it.

As the son of an aristocratic family, Xie Zhan naturally knew why the aristocratic family was unwilling to cooperate.

That is, those who do not pay taxes in their hands should be classified as taxpayers. In the future, the taxes paid by each family to the court will increase.

Therefore, the registration of household registration has been counterattacked by individual families. In the past month, there have been frequent incidents of beating people who have been investigated and concealing household registration.

I just don't know, who is it that blatantly disregards the law and detains the court officials this time?

Seeing Xie Zhan's inquiring gaze, Li Sicheng said: "This time, it is at Yunyu Mountain Villa in Yongshi County, which belongs to Yu Family's third-bedroom Yu Bing Industry. The person who took the lead in beating people this time is Yu Bing's nephew Yu Hao, There were two people who were beaten and detained, one was Zhang Changming, the fifth son of the Zhang family, and the other was Fu Qian, the third son of the Fu family." After speaking, Li Sicheng raised his eyes and took a sneaky look at Xie Zhan.

Hearing Fujia, Xie Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Zheng Sicheng added: "Zhang Changming is a servant and Fu Qian is a doctor. They both work for Zuo Min. This case was reported by Zuo Min's people to Jingzhao County." (Note 1)

Both of them were five-rank court officials, and they belonged to the Shangshutai, which was in charge of the five general affairs of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Ancestral Hall, the Five Soldiers, Zuo Min, and Duzhi.Those who have entered Shangshutai for the first time are called Langzhong, those who have been in Shangshutai for one year are called Shangshulang, and those who have been in Shangshutai for three years are called Shilang.

Xie Zhan raised his hand and rubbed between his eyebrows.The case is not difficult, but I am afraid that many people will come to the door to intercede.

Whether it is the detainee or the detainee, the background behind it is quite complicated.

Let's just talk about the Yu family, Zhang family, and Fu family involved in this case.Both the Yu family and the Zhang family are members of the great family of Daliang Wang, Xie, Yu, Liu, Zhou, and Zhang, and the Yu family is also the current empress's mother's family.Although the Fu family is a new gentry, it is being valued by Emperor Mu Andi.

He said: "According to my order, send people to Yunyu Villa, first bring Zhang, Fu and Yu to Dali Temple."

Li Sicheng seemed to have seen the dawn, and said politely: "This subordinate will draw up a search warrant and ask Xie Shaoqing to sign it."

In the court, Xie Zhan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, sometimes had a bit more majesty than his Shangfeng Yang Siqing, not only because of his outstanding ability, but also because of his profound background.

Just because of his background in a top-notch family, he can investigate cases without any scruples, and is rarely controlled by others. Therefore, he is decisive in his actions and ruthless in methods.

Ever since she fell into the water in Xie's mansion, Fu Xuan had a high fever for two days.

On the third day, as soon as she woke up and finished drinking the medicine, she heard Linglong tell her about the major events that happened to Fu's family in the past few days - the third son's leg was broken, and he is still awaiting trial in the prison of Dali Temple.

"Brother Qian's leg was broken by someone? Who did it? He's going to be the doctor of Zuo Min, why was he suddenly put in prison?" Fu Xuan's beautiful eyes widened, her face full of incredulity.

"Third Young Master took people to Yongshi County to check the household registration, and for some reason, he got into a fight with them." Linglong replied, "The steward of the villa over there told him that he beat Saburo of the Yu family into a fool."

"Brother Qian has always been kind to people, how could he beat people for no reason? He must have been planted!" Fu Xuan said angrily, and after speaking, she was ready to get up, get dressed and go out to visit the prison in Dali Temple.

Seeing that her face was pale and her movements were urgent, Linglong immediately stopped her and said, "Girl, don't worry, it's already past the duty time at the Yamen. The trial will start tomorrow, and we'll go there then."

Fu Xuan had no choice but to hold back, frowning and asked: "Can Uncle and Father send a doctor?" The two elders are in officialdom, so it's inconvenient to come forward in person, but it's about the health of Third Cousin, how could they stand by and watch?

Linglong nodded, "It was dispatched yesterday. Princess Jiayang also went, but at Dali Temple, because the case has not been finalized, only doctors are allowed to enter, and no one else is allowed to visit the prison."

"What did the doctor say?" Fu Xuan asked again.

"Not very good... The doctor said that the leg injury was serious, and it took a whole day and night after the injury. I missed the best time for diagnosis and treatment. In the future, I am afraid that the root cause of the disease will fall." Linglong replied truthfully.

Fuxuan's body swayed, brother Qian is the most energetic son of the Fu family, unlike the other five rough cousins, he has always been very concerned about his appearance, if he is lame, what can he do...

"I heard that the third son was able to be brought back. It was because Shaoqing of Dali Temple went to Yongshi County in person, and the villa released him." Linglong added.

"Really..." Fuxuan murmured, "Xie Liulang."
