"...that is to say," the scholar who read the announcement began to explain to the common people who didn't understand, "what Chengyang Ling meant is: Today's Chengyang City is dominated by powerful and lawless people and unruly people. Therefore,

The social order is not good, and we need clear laws and severe punishments. Once such an announcement is made, it will definitely put a tight spell on the lawless powerful and unruly people and point out the way out for that situation, so that they will never dare to act lawlessly again.

"

"Is there such a good thing?" After hearing this, the people immediately exploded and talked about it: "It seems that this new official should be a good and upright official who prays for the people? Then I will go quickly.

Go ahead and file a complaint, the days of being bullied by bullies for many years are finally coming to an end!"

"Ouch! God, can we get back the house and land that have been robbed of us for many years? I'm going to file a lawsuit too!"

"Whether it's true or not, go and give it a try. These corrupt officials and bastards are angry with them every day. I really can't stand it anymore!"...

The people's reaction to this announcement was fierce, so people came to complain one after another, almost squeezing through the gate of Chengyang County Government. These complainants were also clearly distinguished. Almost all of them were poor people. The defendant

Without exception, they are rich and powerful.

Jia Fu was unambiguous. He asked questions one by one, reviewed the pleadings, and immediately sent people to check and report the truth within a time limit. But the officials in Chengyang were suffering. They used to be very relaxed, but now they are very busy.

Their feet did not touch the ground and they were spinning around. They were not used to it. They couldn't help but secretly gather together to complain and complain: "This newly appointed Master Jia is too serious!"

"That's right, although the new official takes office with three things in mind, it's okay to be strict at the beginning. Everyone should be more tolerant of each other. In the past, they did whatever they were supposed to do. But now it's better! He has been working on cases to no end.

The plaintiffs are all poor people, what benefits are there for us to sacrifice our lives for!"

"Who says it's not the case! Our Mr. Jia is really a confused person who doesn't understand the truth!"

"Everyone, listen to what I have to say." At this time, a small official with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks stood up and said, "In my opinion, our new Chengyang Order is just a fledgling, not familiar with the world, and does not know the rules of the officialdom. Why don't you enlighten me?

How about enlightening him and explaining to him the reason?"

"Okay! Brother Hu, you are smart, resourceful, and eloquent. Maybe adults will listen. I'll wait for the good news from Brother Hu!" After hearing this, the other government officials all agreed in unison.

"Okay, let's take a look, brothers. There is nothing that I can't handle. When he handles the case again tomorrow, you just have to look at me."

…

"My lord, you are lucky."

On the second day, the Hu official brought a cup of tea with a smile, approached Jia Fu who was working at his desk in the court hall, and said flatteringly, "Let's have a cup of tea."

"Well, I'm tired. I'm not thirsty." Jia Fu reviewed the mountains of public case books in his hands without raising his head. "You can put them there first."

"Sir, actually you don't have to work so hard. The younger ones can take care of these trivial matters."

"Oh?" After hearing this, Jia Fu paused with the brush in his hand, raised his head and asked calmly, "How do you plan to deal with it?"

"Hmph!" The Hu official sneered and said contemptuously, "It is right that evil people complain first. I think these people who come to complain are nothing more than cunning and unruly people. You are a newbie here and you don't know the situation. Come here."

False accusations against good people. Your Majesty, you don’t need to pay attention to them at all. Just give every unruly person who comes to make trouble a few whips."

"Really?" Jia Fu sneered after hearing this, put down the brush in his hand, pointed at the unfinished complaint papers on the desk, and said: "The words above are conclusive, every word is bloody, and every word is full of tears. It tells the story of the defendant.

Their property and houses were seized and they were forced to have no other choice. In addition to the plaintiff himself, the person who wrote the complaint also had the fingerprints of his fellow villagers. They said pitifully that this was a blood-soaked statement. Could it be that it was all a false accusation? The strange thing is, around me,

A lot of adjectives involve you, would you like to take a closer look?"

"Ah?" When Hu Li heard this, his face turned pale and he hurriedly argued: "Sir, those are all false accusations! I have never done anything like that!"

"False accusation?" Jia Fu's sharp eyes pierced him mercilessly, "I think you seem to have a bad memory, maybe Song Songpi will remember it! Someone is here! Drag him out and take charge of the Eighty-Level Board.

!”

"Sir! You can't!" Hu Li was shocked when he heard this. The officials below also looked at each other and hesitated: Is this new master serious? The official actually wanted to protect the common people who complained.

It is unheard of to fight against government officials.

"Why are you still standing there! If I tell you to drag you out and beat you, you will be dragged out and beaten! Anyone who fails to do so will be punished with the same heavy punishment as this person!" Jia Fu saw that everyone was still and scolded him sharply. So the officials did not dare to neglect again.

, seriously drag down the Hu Li, hold him high and gently hit his board.

"Hit me hard! Do you think I am blind?" Jia Fu saw the trick and shouted.

So the government servants who beat the boards didn't dare to let go anymore, so they had to beat them hard. How could the Hu official bear this? He cried out in pain like a killing pig, and the thirty-year-old board was beaten until the skin and flesh were ripped apart.

By the time he reached the fifty-fifty board, the Hu official could no longer endure the pain. He couldn't even take a breath and was in pain to death. His lower body had already been beaten to a bloody pulp, which made everyone around him tremble with fear, with chills running down their spines and no breath.

Dare to come out.

"Did you see it?" Jia Fu stood up indifferently, pointed at the bloody corpse in the hall and said to all the government officials: "Anyone who dares to bend the law for personal gain in the future should take this person as an example! Pull him out!"

"We will remember your teachings!" All the government officials and minor officials promised in unison. They never expected that the new Chengyang Ling, although he looked bookish and polite, was actually like this.

He is so ruthless and ruthless; since he doesn't even buy into the old official Hu Li's account, then from now on he should just follow him on errands honestly and whole-heartedly!

Jia Fu worked vigorously like this for more than half a month, and the situation in Chengyang gradually changed from chaos to peace in his hands. However, one night, when he was working by light in the study, suddenly, a gust of cold wind outside the window blew out the candles.

It was extinguished. Then, suddenly a black figure jumped down from the beam. Before he could react, a sharp sword was already placed on his neck coldly.
