In the past, the village didn't want to go to the county government. A large part of the reason was that no one could write a lawsuit. When they went to the town to find someone to write for them, they had to pay for the polishing of dozens of copper plates, which was a big expense for ordinary farmers.
Jiang Fengnian added, "reporting to the government is not so simple. In addition to the lawsuit, we have to deal with the people of the government. It's not that you don't know. Those officials are not easy to match. It's OK to have money. If you don't have money, people won't pay attention to us rural mud legs at all. If we come to the door with a lawsuit, maybe someone will beat us out before the door goes in. In my opinion, let's forget it and solve the problem ourselves in the village. "
Gu Fei asked, "how are you going to solve this? Sun Ergang's crime is not a trivial matter. It's a major murder. You can't let people go after a few strokes? "
Jiang Fengnian probably wouldn't care if someone asked such a question, but it was Gu Fei who asked. He was the only one in the village. In the future, the village had to ask him for help. Naturally, Jiang Fengnian didn't dare to underestimate him, so he explained patiently.
"Before coming here, I had a simple discussion with Li Zheng and the elders. We plan to take sun Ergang to the ancestral hall first, try out his killing process in front of the whole village, and then give sun Ergang dozens of whips. If he is not dead at that time, let's call the village head of Yangshu village and let the other party see what to do with sun Ergang. "
They can't say they did it wrong. After all, sun Ergang is not from their Yunshan village. It's not good to directly kill him. They have to discuss with Yang Shucun. This is a conventional rule.
Gu Fei said, "if sun Ergang is killed by you, you are careless about human life. After the village head of Yangshu village and the sun family know, they may take this to the government. At that time, even if we are reasonable, we will become unreasonable. If sun Ergang is not killed and taken away by the village head of Yangshu village, he will release the tiger and return to the mountain, and there will be endless trouble in the future. Uncle, no matter what you do, our village will not fall well in the end. "
Hearing what he said, Jiang Fengnian was stunned and then frowned.
"That sun Er just killed someone, and their family still have the face to make trouble in the Yamen!"
Gu Fei said calmly, "sun Ergang killed someone, but according to the law of the imperial court, the murderer should be handed over to the government. But you have set penalties privately, and you have caused human lives, that is, you have exceeded your authority and neglected human lives. If you fall into the ears of the county magistrate, you will only think that you people don't even pay attention to the laws of the imperial court. At that time, our whole village will be in bad luck. "
Jiang Fengnian thought along with his words and suddenly burst into a cold sweat.
Yeah! They can kill and handle cases by themselves. What else should the government do?
It's a great sin to despise the court and the law!
Looking at the increasingly ugly expression of the village head, Gu Fei continued to give guidance.
"In the past, the county magistrate didn't care about the affairs in the village, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't find a suitable entry point. Over the years, no matter what happened in each village, it was solved internally, which vaguely created an illusion that everyone did not pay attention to the court law. Uncle, how would you feel if you were the county magistrate and all the villages under your jurisdiction were grouped together and didn't pay attention to you? Are you willing to continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb and be confessed as a fool? Or do you have the patience to look for opportunities and solve all these disobedient villagers when you have the opportunity? "
Jiang Fengnian felt a chill behind his back, subconsciously touched his neck and said dryly, "no, not at all? With so many of us, he can't kill us all? "
Gu Fei said, "of course not all of them will be killed, but he will certainly find some early birds to make an example. Uncle, you don't want our village to be the first bird? "
Jiang Fengnian certainly doesn't want to!
They have a good village, so that they don't become that unlucky early bird just because of sun Ergang!
While Gu Fei was talking, Jiang Wei listened quietly all the way without saying a word.
To tell you the truth, she admired Gu Fei.
The man looked at the mountain without dew, but he looked very long-term.
Jiang Fengnian was obviously persuaded by Gu Fei's words.
No one had told him these things before, and the villagers would not think about it, so no one proposed to change, and they always followed the rules left by their predecessors.
When something happens to the villagers, they close their doors and solve it at home. If they can't solve it at home, they go to the clan old man. If they can't solve it, they go to the village head. If the village head can't, there is Li Zheng.
Anyway, things can't go out of the village. They have to be solved in the village and won't go to the government.
But Gu Feigang just said that, but it was like a basin of cold water pouring down his head, which made the river cool in a good year.
He was even afraid.
If Gu Fei hadn't reminded him, they might have made a big mistake now. At that time, as soon as sun Ergang died, their village would have to face the charge of privately setting penalties. Not to mention his bad reputation, I'm afraid his position as village head will come to an end.
The more Jiang Fengnian thought about it, the more he felt flustered. He hurriedly asked, "what do you think we should do? Do you really want to report to the official? "
Gu Fei said, "sun Ergang is a hot potato. No matter how we deal with him, we can't get a good result. Why don't we throw him to the county government? At that time, no matter what the county government does with sun Ergang, the village head of Yangshu village and the sun family can't find an excuse to trouble us. We can save ourselves and make a good impression of being honest and obedient in front of the county magistrate. Why not? "
Jiang Fengnian thought so. Why did he have to rush to be a bad man? If you send people directly to the county government, don't you have nothing to do?
If sun Ergang dies in the future, it's also the matter of the county government. If the village head of Yangshu village and the sun family want to hate, they will hate the county magistrate! However, they didn't have the courage to avenge the county magistrate.
Jiang Fengnian nodded, "OK, just do as you say!"
Then he was a little worried: "how can we send sun Ergang to the county government? People in the county government are hard to deal with. Let's just come to the door. What if people ignore us? "
Gu Fei said, "just leave it to me. I have a donkey cart at home. Wait a minute, we'll use the donkey cart to send sun Ergang to the county government. I have some friendship with the martial master of the county government. I'll ask him to help deliver a lawsuit. This case involves human life. I'm sure the county magistrate won't ignore it. "
When Jiang Fengnian heard what he said, his last worry was gone. He smiled and said, "it's lucky to have you in our village. If it weren't for you, we rural mud legs wouldn't be able to touch the gate of the county government."
"Uncle Mu praised me. I'm also from Yunshan village. I should think of the village."
Jiang Fengnian kept saying that he appreciated and valued Gu Fei, a young and promising young student.
