If you have an injustice and want to complain, you shouldn't come to the Jinyiwei Yamen.

If you really come to the Jinyiwei Yamen to file a lawsuit, there should be only one possibility, that the previous refugees came to file a lawsuit. Especially in the past two days, I have heard of many refugees being robbed or even killed on their way back to their hometowns.

Therefore, Zhang Mingwei immediately paid close attention to this matter and dealt with it as soon as possible.

As soon as the complainant entered the lobby, he knelt down at the door with a "thump" sound, kowtowed, and repeatedly said: "Master Qingtian, Bodhisattva, be the ruler for the grass people..."

The tone was rapid, and the earthy voice of the mouth made Zhang Mingwei, the time traveler, unable to hear clearly what he was saying.

In desperation, he had to interrupt loudly and said to the complainant: "Don't be anxious, get up and talk, make it clearer."

The man could understand Zhang Mingwei's words, so he kowtowed again before standing up.

Zhang Mingwei looked at him. He was a man in his thirties, with a sad and angry expression and a little fear.

While looking at it, the complainant lowered his head and said, "Master Qingtian, I am..."

Well, Zhang Mingwei still couldn't understand. He turned to look at Zhu Moe standing beside him. Seeing that she was shaking her head, he turned to glance at the others.

Lan Tianbao, who was standing next to him, understood and started to interpret. After he communicated with the man for a while, he reported to Zhang Mingwei: "Master, his name is Masan, he is from Fangshan County, and a refugee who was previously outside the capital. His younger brother is Maliu, and he was elected by the people from Majiagou and entered the Jinyiwei..."

While he was talking, Ma San was also listening and nodding repeatedly, saying that it was right.

"...They did not meet thieves when they returned, but soon they heard that there were thieves robbing and killing people everywhere. After discussing the discussion, they decided to go to the county town to hide for a while. As a result, the county town did not allow them to enter, even if their village chief took out documents and the relatives in the city gave them a certificate, they would not enter..."

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei frowned. He also guessed what the next situation was like.

Sure enough, he heard Lan Tianbao continue to repost, "... Even if the food the master sent them is saved and eaten with leaves, it will be almost gone. There are thieves outside the city, and they are in danger. They remember what the master said, if the local area does not place it, they will come to the Jinyiwei Yamen to complain. Therefore, they had no choice but to choose him to come to the capital."

After the retelling, Lan Tianbao expressed his opinion and said: "Master, ordinary people are actually afraid of meeting officials and dare not deal with officials. If possible, they will definitely not go to the county town for help. They must have been forced to go there. After so many days, the imperial court's decree must have been passed on here. Moreover, when they went to the county town, they brought notices to them. But even so, the county town would not let them enter the city!"

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei was a little uncertain. This was the imperial decree of the court two years before the fall of the country at the end of the Ming Dynasty. It was no longer effective in the local area. Or was it that Fangshan County was only resistant to the resettlement of refugees and refused to implement it?

No matter which reason it was, it was something that Zhang Mingwei could not accept. Refugee resettlement can be said to be his first time in the Ming Dynasty. If Fangshan County resisted this, then other places would definitely join forces to follow suit. It will not only undermine his prestige, but also make the Ming Dynasty's refugee problem unsolvable.

So he asked for some details. After asking, his brows frowned even more. Obviously, the situation was not optimistic.

Zhang Mingwei was analyzing, and suddenly saw that Ma San shook his body a few times and then fell to the ground. Fortunately, Lan Tian beside him was quick-witted and held him in a hurry.

Then, Lan Tianbao reported to Zhang Mingwei: "Master, he is caused by excessive fatigue and hunger."

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei said to Ma San with concern: "You go down and have a good rest first. I will definitely take care of this matter."

After saying that, he ordered: "Tell him his brother Ma Liu and let him take care of his brother."

When Ma Sanyi left, Zhang Mingwei frowned and asked, "Fangshan County is in the southwest of the capital, and those thieves are rampant in the southwest. Is that true?"

Zhu Mai has a good memory. When she heard this, she immediately nodded and said, "Yes, sir."

After Zhang Mingwei got the confirmation, he tapped the desk with his finger and began to think.

The scale of these thieves is not large. Although they have their own opinions, they certainly do not exceed a thousand people. If the scale is large, the capital would have been martial law long ago.

Logically speaking, if this happens, the local government and the military forces of the garrison should have the responsibility to wipe out. However, Ma San didn't know about other places. As for Fangshan County, the local government not only showed no sign of sending troops to encircle and suppress the enemy, but instead did not allow the people of the village who had no defense to escape into the county town.

If you are worried about getting into the thief, unless the men, women, young and old in the entire village become thief, otherwise it would be impossible to get into the thief by pointing out each other.

To put it another way, if you really have the heart in the local area, there will definitely be a way to identify it.

Could it be that they want those thieves to harm the people? Not only can they reduce the burden, but they can also obtain some land in some places?

Zhang Mingwei really couldn't think about the officials in the late Ming Dynasty. He didn't dare to give hope to their character at all.

While he was thinking about this, he suddenly came down to report and said that Zhou Wenzhen came to ask for a meeting.

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he was a little surprised. Could it be that there would be news from Zhou Wenzhen in such a short time?

He remembered that he had just ordered Zhou Wenzhen not long ago to check the news of the thief. If there was no gain, he would not have come to see him so soon, right? Otherwise, there would be a big disturbance from the Shanxi merchants!

No matter what the situation was, Zhang Mingwei immediately ordered to receive Zhou Wenzhen.

After a while, Zhou Wenzhen, led by the Jinyiwei Captain, rushed over excitedly. When he saw Zhang Mingwei, he immediately reported: "Sir, there is news for those thieves!"

Unexpectedly, news came so soon. Zhang Mingwei was very happy and asked quickly: "What's the situation?"

"Sir!" Zhou Wenzhen said excitedly, "A brother from the sect came to the capital and brought news about the thief. The group of thieves were thieves from Dafangshan. For some reason, this time they actually came out of the mountain to rob, and they made such a fierce fuss..."

Fangshan County is high in the west and low in the east, or to the west is the remnant of the Taihang Mountains, that is, Dafang Mountain, and to the east is a plain. It is understandable that there are thieves on the mountain.

But what is strange is that the thieves are making such a fierce battle now, why didn’t Fangshan County mention that there are thieves in Dafangshan? Is it because there are thieves in Dafangshan or is it a mentality that it is better to have less than more things?
