Chapter 473： Encounter a prisoner
In addition to the university hall, Wu Changqing also went to other places to stroll around.
In the industrial zone, he encountered a team of government officers who escorted several prisoners.
Wu Changqing wanted to know what these people had committed, so he stopped him and asked, "What crime did these people commit?"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty."
Recognizing that Wu Changqing's servant, he knelt down and bowed nervously.
When the others learned that the emperor was in front of them, they were all panicked.
"Okay, just talk about it."
Wu Changqing said.
He didn't release any coercion, but his identity can always make people feel pressure easily.
"My Majesty, these are long-term workers who escaped from the houses of the surrounding landlords. They did not fulfill the contract with the landlords' houses and fled to Nanjing to work in private. Then the landlords approached the yamen and asked us to help arrest them."
Wang Catou, who was in charge of this matter, said.
"Your Majesty is wronged, please call the shots for Caomin."
After the prisoners learned of Wu Changqing's identity, they knelt down and kowtow, crying loudly.
"If there is any grievance, just say it, I'm listening."
Wu Changqing looked a little unhappy.
The most proud thing about a person in power is that the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment, and no one commits crimes.
And now, a group of prisoners appeared in front of him.
These people are guilty, which shows that they do not manage the country well, and there are still people who cannot survive.
If these people are not guilty, it also means that he has not managed the country well, and that innocent people have been wronged.
One of the suspects, who seemed more calm, said: "We were originally refugees from Henan. After we fled here, we entered the Li family and worked as long-term workers. We only care about food, we don't have any wages.
Last year, Treasury Li suddenly wanted to sign a contract with us, and he would give us more money every month. After we signed the contract, we heard from others that we work in a factory in the city for one to two taels a month, and we also take care of food and housing.
Therefore, we felt that we were deceived by Rich Li, and then we escaped, wanting to work in the factory and make a living..."
After listening to Wu Changqing, he basically got an idea.
This is a problem left over from history, and it is difficult to deal with.
It is not right for Rich Li to squeeze them, but he once saved the lives of these refugees. Although they were better informed by the news, there seemed to be no violation of the law.
Of course, outside the law does not care about favors, and the behavior of Rich Lord Li is not illegal, but his actions are more or less unreasonable.
In the past, no penny was given, and no hope was given to these refugees.
After that, the other party was tied to death with a contract, and there were also some benefits.
From the perspective of Rich Lord Li, he would also be wronged, which is tantamount to saving these people's lives in vain, without gaining any gratitude.
But from the perspective of these refugees, they are even more miserable.
Working for the rich man’s house every day without a penny of wages, life is hopeless and without security. Once sick or old, they will be ruthlessly driven away.
A case that can be easily distinguished from right and wrong is best judged. It is a rare case that both sides are wrong and both sides have difficulties.
Of course Wu Changqing was on the side of the refugees, but he couldn't show it either.
As an emperor, he needs to maintain an image of fairness and justice, and cannot favor one class, otherwise other classes will be dissatisfied.
If he favors these refugees now, the refugees in other places will follow suit in the future, and he will find ways to make things worse and make a case for imprisonment.
Because they knew that the emperor would favor himself.
As a result, it will inevitably cause greater turmoil in this society and increase a lot of law enforcement costs.
In the past few years, the number of refugees who have fled from the north is not a small number.
"What are you going to do with these people now?"
Wu Changqing asked those government officials.
Suddenly, those government officials panicked.
This is the emperor's questioning, if one sentence is not answered well, it may cause fire to the upper body.
Everyone couldn't understand Wu Changqing's thoughts, and all of them hesitated, not knowing how to speak.
"Bold, your majesty asks you something, do you stubborn people want to hide something?"
Feng Debao scolded.
As soon as these words came out, the yamen knelt down and said they dare not.
After Wang Tau calmed down, he began to answer truthfully: "We all act in accordance with the regulations, and Rich Master Li has a contract in hand, so we are going to take these people back to Li's house."
This approach is obviously a bit biased towards the Li family.
These long-term workers were taken back to Li's house, and they must have no good end. A severe beating is the lightest, and there may be various other tortures.
These government officials may want to take advantage of the Li family's advantage, or they may want to settle the matter with the mud, so they dealt with it hastily.
"You take the person to Liu Dahua and let him take a trial in person. Tell him, just say that I said, let him handle this matter fairly and reasonably, and try to satisfy all parties."
Wu Changqing did not make this decision on his own. Once he expressed his stance, the matter was basically qualitative.
If this matter is thrown to Liu Dahua, then no matter what the result of the penalty is, it doesn't matter to him.
If you are not satisfied with the result of the penalty, you can only blame Liu Dahua instead of Wu Changqing.
All the problems were thrown to Liu Dahua, and the wicked still let the courtiers do it.
Liu Dahua was not worried about being blamed. Neither these refugees nor the Li family were qualified to be his opponents, and it was not painful to be blamed.
What Liu Dahua needs to worry about is whether his handling results can satisfy Wu Changqing.
He needs to guess Wu Changqing's thoughts from some details, and then make a sentence that satisfies Wu Changqing.
Liu Dahua knew that even if his sentence did not satisfy Wu Changqing, Wu Changqing would not express anything, but he would definitely make a difference in his heart.
If his punishment can satisfy Wu Changqing, he won't get any substantial benefits for the time being, but he can leave a good impression in Wu Changqing's heart.
This good impression is priceless.
With a good position in the future, Wu Changqing's easiest thing to think of is definitely those who have a good impression of him.
After receiving Wu Changqing's instructions, Liu Dahua began to send people to investigate this matter in detail, and he never dared to make any mistakes.
When finding out the truth, he was still trying to figure out Wu Changqing's thoughts.
Your Majesty, do you want to sympathize with these refugees? Still want to maintain the justice of the law? Or should we take into account the interests of the landlord class?
This question is really elusive.
Finally, Liu Dahua decided to take a gamble, to favor the people, and at the same time convince the Li family.
The reason why he gambled like this is mainly because he felt Wu Changqing's concern for the bottom people from some of Wu Changqing's previous policies.
