At this time, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, had already put on a scarlet official hat and was sitting behind the trial table in the courtroom. Next to him, the prefect Cen Yongchang was sitting.
There are two chairs behind the trial table, which will not appear in this ordinary small case.
One of the chairs is higher than the other. The taller chair is occupied by Zuodu Yushi Guo Kang, and the shorter chair is occupied by the prefect Cen Yongchang.
Both of them are wearing this crimson official robe, but they are different. Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, has a golden pheasant on his coat, while Cen Yongchang, the prefect, has a peacock.
In Damo, the general prefects and prefects are of the fourth rank, but they are also prefects. The prefect Cen Yongchang is the third rank. The main reason is that this prefect is not the other prefect. As mentioned before, the prefect Cen Yongchang is not only the parent official of Yu'an Prefecture. , is also the parent official of Nanyu Province, and the government office is not only the government office of Yu'an Mansion, but also the government office of Nanyu Province.
The Fu Yamen governs not only the counties governed by Yu'an Prefecture, but also several Fuzhou counties.
Therefore, the prefect Cen Yongchang was able to wear this crimson official robe.
The two sat together. Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, had a serious face, while Cen Yongchang, the prefect, had a slightly nervous face.
"Let's begin." Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, said.
The prefect Cen Yongchang on the side nodded.
"Common people with grievances can come forward!" Guo Yushi shouted.
Seeing that, some people came up and knelt down on their own initiative. Looking at the two officials sitting above who were wearing scarlet official robes, they felt a little more nervous.
"Who said it first?" Guo Yushi asked.
All the people wanted to say this and raised their hands.
Guo Yushi randomly clicked: "If you have any grievances, tell me."
"Going back to the official, the grassroots are the common people in Yu'anfu City. They have made a living on this kind of land for generations. The year before last, Landlord Zhang wanted to sell part of his idle land, but here, Landlord Yu, who bought the land, wanted to sell some of his idle land. The piece of land owned by the grass-roots people was also designated as his. Later, the grass-roots people asked Landlord Zhang for an explanation. Landlord Zhang also said that it was people's mistakes and that the pieces of land that my family has cultivated for generations were mistakenly included in the transaction. in the land."
"Later, the grassroots came to the Yamen, and finally the landowner agreed to compensate me some money. But there was no compensation later."
Hearing this, Magistrate Cen, who was sitting above him, couldn't stand it anymore and cursed loudly: "I have taken care of your matter, and whether you should compensate or not is already your private matter. Besides, I have taken care of this matter." , Didn’t I also tell you about Landlord Zhang? If there was no such thing as the prefect, I don’t know whether he would acknowledge the matter in this place."
"This..." The people no longer knew what to say.
But Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, who was sitting aside, didn’t come here for this.

, the main reason he came here, the main case was the use of the sea ban to make profits. He didn't want to deal with these trivial matters.
"Here comes, write down his matter, and your government will deal with it carefully later." After speaking, looking at the people below, Guo Yushi said: "The next one, you say."
"My lord, the only person left in the family is the peasant woman. The peasant woman originally had a husband and a son. Last year, her son was working hard outside, and the heavy goods suddenly fell down, crushing my poor wife. Son, the son left without stopping. Afterwards, the woman and his father went to find the shopkeeper and asked for compensation, but the businessman was unwilling to compensate. Later, we went to the government, but the result was that It was the businessman, but the fault was the son of the peasant woman. He was blamed for not paying attention. In the end, there was no compensation at all. The husband of the peasant woman suddenly fell ill not long ago and she followed him." said a woman.
The prefect Cen Yongchang who was listening said anxiously: "Your son brought it upon himself. He didn't pay attention and his life was ruined, so he went to the businessman to ask for compensation. If my horse pulls a heavy object, suddenly An accident happened and the horse died. Should I go to the racecourse to find the seller of my horse?"
"Write down your matter and let the government handle the matter carefully later. Next one!"
After hearing these things, Cen Yongchang himself became worried.
As for Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, he listened to one after another as if listening to stories.
Finally, there is a case about profiteering from the maritime ban.
"My lord, the common people are the common people in Anfu City. Their families make a living by doing business, such as cloth. Not long ago, a notice was posted, and it clearly stated in black and white that the sea ban has been lifted. , later, after the second uncle of Cao Min knew about it, he sold the cloth and brocade overseas. As soon as the money was earned, before his hands were warm, the ban on sea was lifted by a notice that day. Then, in the middle of the night, the government They confiscated all the property of my second uncle's family, and then the whole family was taken to the execution ground. They said they violated the sea ban," said a man.
Hearing this, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, looked at the prefect Cen Yongchang.
Seeing the look from Censor Guo, Magistrate Cen was a little frightened.
"You continue talking." Guo Yushi said.
"Then, the whole family was hanged, and my second uncle was sentenced to lingchi." A man said.
Hearing this again, Guo Yushi looked at the prefect Cen Yongchang, and now the prefect Cen felt even more panicked.
"Prefect Cen, you said that the news about the lifting of the sea ban has not been received by the whole country? This court has been investigating since we arrived in Anfu City. In general, it was announced at the beginning After the news of the lifting of the sea ban, a few days later, these notices saying that the sea ban was lifted disappeared overnight, and there was not a single notice saying that the sea ban was lifted. Later, you used the sea ban as an excuse. By, take these to sea
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
All the property of the people doing business and fishing was confiscated. "Guo Yushi said.
Hearing these words, Magistrate Cen was extremely nervous, and several officials in the same group in the courtroom also began to panic.
Seeing that Magistrate Cen was speechless, Yushi Guo looked at the common people who had grievances and said: "Everyone, if you have any grievances, go to the official on the side and record it, and then hand it over to the government." Handle them strictly, and those who have lost their property or relatives due to the maritime ban should come forward one by one and tell the truth one by one."
After saying this, I saw some people going to the officials who were recording, some people walked to the front of the court, and some people stood outside the yamen and watched.
"Here comes someone!" Guo Yushi shouted to the Yamen servant.
"exist!"
"Bring in all the people who were arrested for saying that Magistrate Cen used the sea ban to make profits."
"yes!"
Seeing Guo Yushi's actions, Magistrate Cen was really panicked. At this time, he no longer knew whether the method Shen Tongzhi just said was of any use.
After a while, those imprisoned in the prison were brought up one by one.
Looking at these people, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, introduced himself: "I am the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I am here to thoroughly investigate the case of using the sea ban to make profits on behalf of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Do you have any grievances?" Come out one by one. Once implemented, this court will determine a fair punishment, be impartial and will never tolerate it!"
Hearing this, Magistrate Cen on the side was so nervous that he wanted to run away, but there were so many people around, and the Zuodu Censor was all here, how could he run away?
He was so nervous that he could only pick up the tea cup in front of him and drink tea to relax. Even the hand holding the tea shook.
"Chen Shushuang, your uncle's family has the greatest grievance. Please tell Magistrate Cen how your uncle passed away." Guo Yushi said.
Seeing that, Chen Shushuang started to speak. With Zuodu Yushi here, he would naturally not be afraid of Magistrate Cen's words.
I only heard that these words were very powerful, completely setting every fact about the prefect Cen Yongchang on this board.
After Chen Shushuang finished speaking, one family after another started talking.
This story can be considered more exciting than the other.
After hearing these grievances, it was already noon.
At this time, Magistrate Cen's face, hands, and every part of his body could be seen trembling.
"Chen Shushuang." Guo Yushi shouted.
"Xiaomin is here." Chen Shushuang responded.
Guo Yushi: "Now, this court asks you to find the official who spoke at the gate of the government office that day."
