So Yuan Run said again: "I have something to say, and Master Ruan needs to tell you when the time comes. If I say it now, I'm afraid that the news will be leaked."

Li Yunyan blushed: "My lord, do you not believe us?"

Yuan Run smiled: "You are also surnamed Li, right? But you are from Baishui Village?"

Li Yunyan's eyes widened: "Your Excellency is a lesson! Although I am also from Baishui Village, I have been out of the Li family for five years and have no contact with each other on weekdays. Moreover, I have always enforced the law impartially. If you don't believe me, you can ask Master Gao and He County magistrate!"

Seeing that Li Yunyan had pushed them out, Gao and He had no choice but to prove to Li Yunyan that she was an upright person and would never bend the law for personal gain.

Yuan Run said with a smile: "I also know that Catcher Li is an upright person, but proper avoidance of suspicion is always necessary. I won't let Catcher Li back down, let Master Ruan go with her, she is whom I trust people."

Li Yunyan knew that Yuan Run's implication was to let Ruan Yuzhu spy on her, so she couldn't help feeling resentful in her heart, and gave Ruan Yuzhu a hard look, but there was nothing she could do - if she really said that she would not go because of this, then she might fall instead. It's better to have a supervisor watching from the sidelines if it hurts other people's tongue!

So I had no choice but to shut my mouth and stop objecting.

Yuan Run didn't chase after Li Yunyan to make a statement, so he said to Ruan Yuzhu, "Then I will trouble you."

Ruan Yuzhu smiled and nodded, and didn't say much—there was nothing more to say between the two of them—but she said to Li Yunyan, "Captain Li, please lead the way."

Li Yunyan had no choice but to turn around and leave with her head bowed.

When I came to the main street, I went out from the east gate this time, and came in from the west gate yesterday, so Ruan Yuzhu is not clear about the scenery of the city on the east side. With Li Yunyan as a guide, I can learn more by asking along the way. The situation in the east of the city.

The two left here, and Gao Zhishan said to Yuan Run, "Master, the local gentry heard that Your Excellency is coming, and they have already set up a banquet at Qiyun Pavilion, the best restaurant in this city, to welcome Your Excellency, and hope that Your Excellency will attend the banquet tonight. "

Yuan Run smiled: "Okay, let them hold the banquet earlier, I have something to do tonight-by the way, who will be present at that time, please introduce me."

Gao Zhishan said: "They are all famous people in this city, including Boss Liu who owns a silk shop, Zhao Wuniang who owns an inn and a pawn shop, Chen Yuanwai, the largest landlord in the north of the city, Liu Yuanwai in the south of the city, Wu Juren, Zhao Juren and Hu Juren, as well as Chief Zhang of the Fulu Escort Bureau."

Yuan Rundao: "There are quite a few people, so who is present on our side?"

Gao Zhishan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "The squires invited you, my lord, how could there be anyone else."

Yuan Run smiled and said, "I don't know them well, and there must be someone to deal with them—how about you?"

Gao Zhishan looked distressed: "My lord, didn't you ask me to prepare those laws and regulations for you? I don't have that time, why don't you let He Xiancheng go?"

Yuan Run thought about it, and then said: "Where do the scholars in this county continue to study after they have obtained their honor?"

Gao Zhishan said: "Of course it is in the Literature Museum."

Yuan Rundao: "Then who is in charge of the Literature Museum?"

Gao Zhishan suddenly realized: "It's Dr. Tong, sir, do you want him to accompany you?"

Yuan Run smiled and said: "It's him, you go and inform me, let him come to see me later."

Yuan Run also didn't know whether the person who got the honor in the first examination was a scholar, whether he went to school after that, and if so, what was the name of the institution where he went to school, who was the host, and what position was it. It's poured out, which saves Yuan Run's trouble.

After talking for a long time, He Leshui has successfully brought the jail head over.The head of the jail met Yuan Run, flattered him, and led Yuan Run to the prison—Yuan Run wanted to go to the prison to see the prisoners here, the new official took office three fires, look at the former county magistrate If there is any wrong case, retry it to subdue the big and small officials and gentry here, otherwise at her age, the status of a number one scholar is not enough to convince her.

As a county magistrate, in order to achieve results, in addition to good governance, you have to excel in case resolution.But the time for the former to shine was too slow, and Yuan Run didn't have the time to wait—I don't know what's going on in my hometown in the capital, and nothing can happen here.Even if it is the Three Caves of the Rabbit, he has to settle down here first, otherwise there will be accidents on both sides, and he will not have a peaceful life.

Even if Ruan Yuzhu is good at martial arts, she can live in the world, but what should Yuan Run do?If you want to practice a whole body of kung fu, even if you work hard like this every morning, it will take three to five years.If she can't gain a foothold here, even if Ruan Yuzhu takes her to the rivers and lakes, she won't want to!

She still wants to raise Ruan Yuzhu, but she is not willing to let Ruan Yuzhu raise her—no matter what she suffers, she is also an independent and self-reliant woman. Although her body is a little weak, her spirit is not weak. girl!

So now Yuan Run is going to the prison to see if there is any article to do.

Yuan Run didn't set out the schedule for the county magistrate to go on tour, but only brought two yamen servants to serve as bodyguards on the road. On the way, he said to Lu Chenggong, "Head of the prison, have you been here for a long time?"

Lu Chenggong smiled and said: "The youngest has been working in the Yamen since he was 17, and he has been the head of the prison for six years."

Yuan Run smiled and said, "Are you Guigeng this year?"

"The little one is fifty-two this year." Lu Chenggong said.

Yuan Run pretended to ponder and said: "It's been 35 years, so you should be very clear about the big and small criminals in your prison, right?"

Lu Chenggong said: "That's natural, I don't need to look at the roster, I also know who is in which cell, and how many days are left to get out."

Yuan Run said with a smile: "Then, who is wronged, who is guilty, and who is 'enjoying happiness' in it, you all know?"

Lu Chenggong's face changed: "Why did you say that, my lord! The little one has always done things impartially, treated all criminals equally, and never dared to be partial. Besides, the little one is used to doing his own thing, but he doesn't care about the county magistrate. I don’t know how the case was settled, and who was wronged in it—but who doesn’t complain when they’re in prison! But most of them shouted for the first few days, and then it stopped.”

Yuan Run smiled: "Why is Lu prison boss like this? I don't have any other intentions—a new official takes office, and there is always something to do, you know! So you are here to come and see."

Lu Chenggong immediately understood, and cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency is dedicated to the people, you can be called the blue sky! However, according to my observation, there are a total of [-] criminals in this prison, and two of them are female prisoners. They are all convicted, and they are all evidence. Sure, unquestionable sinner."

Yuan Run frowned and said, "Which ones were tortured when they entered the prison?"

Lu Chenggong said with a smile: "How can there be no sentence in the trial? Even the first-time offender of petty theft will be punished with five boards!"

Yuan Rundao: "That's the punishment according to the law. Is there a sentence when the case is tried? And it's a big punishment."

Lu Chenggong frowned and thought carefully, and said, "My lord, I don't understand what you said. It's normal to use punishment during the trial. Some criminals don't shed tears even when they see the coffin, and they don't beat them!"

During the conversation, the two arrived at the gate of the prison. Yuan Run followed Lu Chenggong all the way in, and said to him: "Are all the nineteen criminals in the prison unapproved?"

Small crimes can be approved at the county magistrate level, and there is no need to be locked up in jail. Those locked up in jail are either not tried, or they have submitted the charges for trial and have not yet been approved.

Lu Chenggong said: "One is a murderer who is waiting to be executed in autumn. He injured three lives in a row. The evidence is convincing. The two female criminals are both adulterous, but they are pregnant, so they have to wait until they give birth Served. One of the other sixteen male prisoners was also involved in an adultery, but because the family said they would pay for the redemption, they were put on hold for the time being and are still collecting money. One of the remaining fifteen criminals was convicted of accidental injury Human life, but the Jinzhou approval document said that it would be reviewed, but before the review, the former master was transferred away."

Yuan Run was secretly surprised when he heard this - it is quite humanitarian for a pregnant female prisoner not to be sentenced or not to be executed!

Yuan Rundao: "I'll just go back to the Yamen to look at the files for the retrial. The two adulterers don't care about her. Of the other sixteen, you bring up all the adulterers except the adulterer, and go to the courtyard behind the prison. Go, I want to meet." In ancient times, there was nothing Yuan Run could do about adultery, and he would not act recklessly without real evidence. This is the reputation of a bad guy.

However, Wei is a country where "men and women are equal". Women have the crime of adultery, and men have the same crime. However, this method of paying for crimes does not know what crimes can be redeemed. You have to read the legal documents carefully when you go back— ——But even in modern times, you can go out after paying bail, but it was done more thoroughly in ancient times, and you can directly pay for atonement.

Lu Chenggong said: "My lord, these criminals stink to the sky, don't rush at you - you want to avenge their grievances, right? I'll ask, see who has grievances, and bring them to you one by one It's time to ask."

Yuan Run wanted you to ask?Then no one dares to appeal for injustice, you have said it yourself, only new prisoners will cry out for injustice, how can anyone cry now!

However, Yuan Run couldn't bear the smell in the prison, so he asked him to take people to the backyard: "No, just do as I said, come together, don't come one by one, there is not so much time ——Tell them, if you really feel that there is a grievance, come again, if you make trouble for no reason, you will be punished fifty times.”?
