BXBX NOVEL Chapter 360: Calm the storm
"The sentencing varies according to the amount of blackmail."
"Tan Shouquan did not collect the stolen money, and he was fined two months\' salary according to the law."
"Li Fulu and Liu Youwei each received stolen money..."
Master Qin paused at this point, because the silver box needs to be weighed to get the specific catty.
Looking at the silver coin, Mr. Qin is not sure how much taels of silver it is, and the sentencing may be completely different if it is more or less.
Xiao Junji\'s servant, Mo Jian, is clever, and he can roughly guess the reason when he saw Master Qin\'s appearance.
This is not something to be shameful, Mo Jian simply mentioned it generously: "Master Qin, I put all the money of my family\'s son in my purse. In this bag of silver, there is a small scorpion Just one or two."
Master Qin understood the amount, so it was easy to say the following: "Li Fulu and Liu Youwei each received one or two of the stolen money, confiscated all the stolen money according to the law, and fined them four months\' salary."
Li Fulu and the three criminal officials were sweating profusely.
It\'s fine if you don\'t go to jail and lose your job.
But their family is not rich, and the whole family is counting on their salary.
Not to mention four months of fines, even one month of fines will make them feel better.
Pei Yi took a sip of Gaiwan tea, and asked lightly: "The three of them have a good attitude of admitting their mistakes. According to the law, can there be a reduced sentence?"
Li Fulu and the three of them immediately saw hope when Pei Yi mentioned reducing the weight, and they all looked at Master Qin with full expectation.
How could Master Qin not understand that this is the county magistrate\'s way to win people\'s hearts?
He used rhetoric to make the matter extremely difficult, and finally announced the result: "Tan Shouquan didn\'t collect the stolen money, and he can be fined one month\'s salary lightly. Li Fulu and Liu Youwei collected the stolen money, but the amount is not too big , a light fine of two months’ salary can be given, and all stolen money will be confiscated.”
Although this punishment is still not light, it has been halved compared to the sentence just now.
Li Fulu and the other three dared not be dissatisfied, and hoped that the county magistrate would agree to a lighter punishment.
Pei Yi took their reactions into her eyes, and said calmly: "I\'m new to the county government, and it\'s time for me to hire people. Since the few of you have a good attitude in admitting your mistakes, I will give you a lighter punishment as appropriate. But my ugly words are up front. The county government will never take in those who refuse to mend their ways.”
Xiao Junji looked at his sweetheart\'s majestic but not angry appearance, his eyes were full of obsession, and he thought to himself that Saburo, his family, had become more and more stable and capable.
On the way to Wanshou County, he was still thinking about what it would be like for San Lang to take office now.
Now that he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that Saburo was more elegant than he imagined, with thunderous wrists and good grace.
Especially this majestic and dignified appearance, it is really beautiful, and he likes it more from a distance. Xiao Junji\'s face was full of obsession.
The personal servant Mo Jian saw his elder son\'s maddened appearance, and quickly pulled his elder son\'s sleeve as a reminder.
Xiao Junji didn\'t understand, so he turned his head to look at Mo Jian.
Mo Jian was full of discomfort, bent down and whispered in his master\'s ear: "Master, be reserved!"
Xiao Junji suddenly realized, he sneered, but didn\'t take these words to heart.
What reserve does he need in front of the person he likes?
He wished Saburo could see his fascinated appearance.
On the other side, Li Fulu and the others dared to be disrespectful, and kowtowed gratefully: "Thank you for your kindness! Thank you for your kindness!"
Pei Yi said again: "Today, I punish you not because the person you blackmailed is my old friend, but because you blackmailed the people arbitrarily in violation of discipline and law."
"You are all the people of Wanshou County. I believe that when you entered the county government, you also wanted to do your part for the people."
"Xu Hu is such a government bully, I have dealt with him according to the law. In the future, if there are such villains in the county government, you can directly report them to me."
"Everyone works together and abides by the law. Why should our county government worry about bad things, and why should the people worry about bad things?"
Xiao Junji pursed his lips and smiled lightly. His family\'s Saburo\'s words were really powerful. They immediately changed the nature of the matter and raised their intentions. Such highly provocative words are not the words that the superiors often use to fool and encourage the subordinates. Saburo of his family can play really well.
These words aroused the heroism of Li Fulu and others.
Several people said in unison: "My lord\'s teaching today, we will remember it in our hearts!"
Pei Yi solemnly said: "Everyone step down."
Li Fulu, Liu Youwei, Tan Shouquan and others resigned respectfully. They not only felt lucky to survive the catastrophe, but also had a kind of pride to show their strengths.
Other yamen servants heard that they had been punished, so they all came to ask what happened, wanting to find out the intentions and style of this Xinjin county magistrate.
Li Fulu couldn\'t hide his gratitude and said: "Your Excellency took Xu Hu into custody and fined us with some salary."
Immediately someone said: "Hey, this is really three fires for a new official to take office. If you shut him down, you still have to pay our pockets."
These words are a bit eye-catching, and they immediately put the county magistrate against all the yamen servants.
Li Fulu retorted with a fierce face: "Our Lord Pei is not a person who plays with authority! He is just enforcing the law today. Xu Hu extorted thirty-nine taels of silver from Xiao Langjun, and even contradicted Lord Pei in public. Lord Pei didn\'t use it against him. A little lynching is all dealt with according to the law."
Someone said with emotion: "Our Master Pei has a big stomach." If any other official met such rebellious people, he would have already dragged him down and beaten him with his official authority.
"What kind of guts?" Someone sneered, "It is said that it is being dealt with impartially, but Mr. Pei is the magistrate of the county. How to deal with it is not a matter of his words?"
Liu Youwei\'s face was ashen, and he replied indignantly: "Zhang San, why are you so clever here? I can read a few words, so I think you are the smartest in the whole world? Our Lord Pei is an upright person. Our brother A few made mistakes today, Mr. Pei did not take the opportunity to humiliate and blackmail us like those adults before, and they all acted according to the law. Moreover, Mr. Pei saw that we had a good attitude in admitting our mistakes, and gave us a lighter punishment."
Tan Shouquan, who has always been timid and unwilling to take the lead, couldn\'t bear it anymore and said: "Master Pei really wants to do things for the people. He saw us and was coerced by Xu Hu, and gave us a chance to reform. I originally wanted to fine two people. month, the adult has reduced it from one month to one month according to the law."
Everyone\'s expressions were obviously different when they heard this.
In the past, those officials wished to be punished more. There are very few people like Mr. Pei.
"Master Pei is kind..." Someone praised with emotion.
