It is difficult to be an honest official
In the courtyard, Su Yang was waving his long sword to increase his sword power.
The blank air above suddenly dissipated a little, turning into a wisp of the will of all living beings and blending into his mind.
At this point, Su Yang understood that the people's wish was the source of the white energy.
When a mission arises, it is the common wish of many people.
Such is the case when hundreds or thousands of people want to punish Li Ming.
After a while.
Zhang Hu walked in from outside the courtyard.
"Your Excellency, we have currently solved six cases of wounding. This is the money handed over by the perpetrators in order to avoid jail. A total of one thousand two hundred taels."
Zhang Hu opened a box and found a pile of silver ingots inside.
Su Yang frowned, how could he have so much money?
Asking them to improve public order is asking them to collect illegal money?
wrong
Soon he thought of the Bactrian Law and understood what was going on. This was a fee to subsidize the soldiers.
It can be regarded as one of the benefits that the Great Xia Dynasty gave to the soldiers of the Zhenwu Division.
"As far as I know, soldiers are paid five taels of silver per month, and captains are paid fifteen taels of silver per month. Is that correct?"
"Yes, my lord."
"Let's do this, 20% of it will be divided among the brothers, you take 10%, and another 50% will be used to buy cultivation resources for the brothers, and the last 20% will be mine."
Su Yang made arrangements with just a few words.
Zhang Hu stepped forward slightly at this time and said: "Sir, this is absolutely impossible. According to the previous regulations, the commander of the army gets 50%, and the rest is divided by the commander of the army."
Su Yang said slowly: "Then let me take 30% of my own pocket and give it to my brothers to practice."
"This matter is settled."
"I give you training resources, but I don't want to see waste appear. How can you suppress martial arts if your force is not enough?"
"Go and do it."
Money is not too important to him at the moment.
Having more powerful and obedient subordinates may be most beneficial to him in the future.
Zhang Hu was moved in his heart. After entering the Zhenwu Division for so long, he finally saw the reason why he wanted to join in the first place.
Zhang Hu knelt down on one knee: "No!"
Then he began to take out 30% of the silver, 10% for himself, and the remaining 20% for his brothers.
That's 240 taels. When he took ten people out, each person would get 24 taels, which was nearly five times higher than their monthly salary.
Zhang Hu returned to the team and looked at his expectant subordinates without hiding anything.
Repeat what Su Yang just said.
Seeing everyone's joy, Zhang Hu gradually said with sharp eyes: "Master Su Yang has cultivated us so much, we can't let Master Su Yang down."
"Let's go and continue handling the cases. I don't want to keep these backlogged cases at all."
Zhang Hu's words made everyone break away from the great joy, and the process of solving the six cases flashed again.
For the wealthy businessmen, it is just a loss of money, but it will only become more difficult for the poor families after being harmed.
The backlog of cases is basically like this.
The poor have nowhere to seek justice
Even if you have a little money, you can cause a lot of trouble and the government will come forward to solve it.
In other words, only the cases of the poor will be backlogged and will be ignored.
"Let's go! Give the people justice!"
A group of eleven people walked outside.
There are currently nine other teams like them active in Chunfeng Street.
They have only one purpose, to give justice to the people and make up for their previous inaction.
Just one afternoon.
In Chunfeng Street, the military soldiers of Zhenwu Division became famous.
Not only is it unparalleled in Chunfeng Street and is praised by the people, but it has even begun to be talked about by people in other streets and compared with the martial soldiers of their own street.
But in contrast, the people in the other five streets of Pingshan City were a little unhappy.
How come the military soldiers of Chunfeng Street Town do practical things?
Do the soldiers of our street town's military division have to work hard?
On the surface, the people do not dare to be too presumptuous. After all, people have not fought with officials since ancient times.
But in private, this is their capital for small talk after dinner.
On this day, the military soldiers of Chunfeng Street Town worked harder than ever before.
"Brother Hu, I have never felt so comfortable as I do today. The grateful eyes of the people make me feel so worth it."
"That's right, that's right. This reminds me of the reason why I joined the Zhenwu Division. Isn't it just that I can't stand those guys who bully the weak and want to teach them a legal lesson?"
"Well, keep it up, this is just the beginning, and don't be too proud. Look at the remaining three cases, do you dare to solve them?"
Zhang Hu took a picture of the last three cases in front of everyone, which made everyone calm down a little.
These last three cases all involve other commanders.
It was not done by other military commanders personally, but it was done by people close to them.
In the past, this kind of thing would just be left alone and would not be investigated or dealt with at all.
But now
Seeing everyone's silence, Zhang Hu continued: "If you have enough strength to deal with the possible consequences, will you deal with it?"
"You don't have to think about it, it will definitely happen."
"So, our strength is still not enough. After we finish handling the cases in hand, we have to practice hard."
"Now I will ask Mr. Su Yang for instructions."
In the courtyard.
Su Yang was wielding his sword. One day passed, and three strands of the will of all living beings appeared in his mind again.
There are already nine strands.
The courtyard door creaked loudly, and Zhang Hu pushed it open and came.
"Your Majesty, there are 63 cases in total, 60 cases have been solved, and three cases are still pending."
"Today I received a total deposit of 3,400 taels of silver."
"Hmm." Su Yang had stopped practicing his sword at this time and said, "What's the problem with the remaining three cases?"
Su Yang's heart moved, and he secretly sighed, no wonder it has been difficult to be an upright official since ancient times.
If he does normal business, he can earn 680 taels of silver in a day. If it is divided in half, it will be 1,700 taels.
What's more, if you want to be greedy, wouldn't it be easier?
Zhang Hu took a deep breath: "The remaining three cases involve the commander of Qingshi Street and the commander of Taohua Street."
Su Yang nodded: "Well, I will go with you tomorrow to do it. Then I will bring someone with me to find the commander."
Zhang Hu took a breath of air: "We want to arrest the leader?"
Su Yang had a black line on his face: "What are you thinking about? Go and get the training resources."
Zhang Hu scratched his head in embarrassment.
It seemed that he had gone astray.
Su Yang quickly took them to the Wusi headquarters in Pingshan Town and met Zhang Zhiwu.
After seeing Su Yang's strength.
Zhang Zhiwu didn't look like a boss at all in front of Su Yang.
When Su Yang asked for cultivation resources, he agreed without saying a word.
Under normal circumstances, these training resources are tightly controlled by Zhang Zhiwu, and most of them are used for training by his subordinates.
