第71章 衙门停尸
最新网址：m.ltxsdz.com
片刻，几个皂隶簇拥着一个身穿官袍微微有些发福中年人走了出来，这人圆圆的脸上最引人注目的，就是那通红的酒糟鼻。网址找回邮件：ltxsba@gmail.com看他身上的穿着打扮，应该就是仁和县知县蔡钊。
果然，跪在地上的那个白胡子老汉给那大胖子磕头道：“大老爷，求求你给我们作主啊。我儿子死得冤枉啊！”
酒糟鼻哼了一声：“张老汉，本官已经说过了，会详查此事，你将尸体停放在衙门口，这算那档子事嘛，衙门也不是为你一家开的，你堵着门，让我们如何办公阿？”
张老汉身后一个小伙子大声道：“大老爷，我哥被王捕头摔死，请大老爷给个说法，不然我们就将尸体一直摆放在这里！”
酒糟鼻皱了皱眉：“行了，本官现在有贵客，等一会再处理你们的案子！”说吧走下台阶来到孟天楚马车前。
孟天楚已经下了马车，酒糟鼻打量了一下，笑呵呵拱手道：“晚生蔡钊，躬为本县县令，敢问阁下可是孟天楚孟先生？”
孟天楚一听，心中大定，这秦逸云果然没有吹牛，听蔡钊知县的话语，看样子这刑名师爷没什么问题了。忙躬身道：“不敢，晚生孟天楚，见过蔡知县蔡大人！”
前文已经说过，师爷与知县的关系是聘用关系，由于师爷都是有专门才学的人，是知县聘来帮助自己处理相关政务的，所以知县老爷对师爷都很客气，双方常以平辈论交，很多情况下，知县还常取下位，这知县蔡钊是秦夫人家扶植才中举当上知县的，而孟天楚又是秦家推荐的，所以这蔡钊取下位自称晚生，当然，孟天楚也不敢妄自尊大，也躬称晚生，也都是相互尊敬的意思。
蔡知县笑道：“孟先生一路辛苦，咱们进衙门说话。”说吧，与孟天楚迈步进了衙门。这时候衙门进车的便门已经打开，夏凤仪她们乘坐的马车从这里进了衙门，暂时停在天井里，也不下车，等待结果。
蔡知县带着孟天楚一直来到衙门花房，这是专门迎接贵宾的接待室。分宾主落座之后，先是寒暄了几句，蔡钊道：“孟先生的到来真可谓及时雨，昨天晚生原来的刑名师爷已经辞聘回去了，眼下正短一个刑名师爷，您就来了，真是太好了。”
孟天楚也很高兴，看来自己还真走运，却不知那刑名师爷是因为什么辞聘而去，是这蔡知县对他不好还是家中有事，又或者不能胜任？这话一时也不好意思问。
蔡知县已经看了秦逸云后来补写的那封关于秦夫人被害以及孟天楚侦破该案经过的信，长叹了一声，回忆起当年自己家中清贫，全靠秦家扶助才得以完成学业高中举人走上仕途，感叹之余，禁不住潸然泪下。
闲话说罢，蔡知县叫跟班长随周全拿来大红“关书”（也就是现在的聘书）亲笔写了，站起身恭恭敬敬双手递给孟天楚，说道：“按理说，礼聘先生为幕，应该摆酒设宴，只是这两天衙门出了点事，一时不便，容后补请。”
孟天楚起身客气了几句，双手接过关书，这关书用红封套套着，上写孟天楚老夫子惠存。抽出里面大红全柬，只见上写“关书”二字，打开一看，上面写着：“敦聘天楚孟老夫子，在蔡钊知县任内，办理刑名一事，月俸脩金二两，到馆起脩，谨订。教弟蔡钊顿首拜。”
这就算正式聘用孟天楚为刑名师爷了，工资每月二两。这在明朝中期，已经算是很高的工资水平了。要知道，明朝官员的俸禄都是很低的，正七品知县每个月的俸禄折算下来，也就三两左右，靠这点俸禄，别说请师爷请长随，连养家糊口都成问题，只能想法设法找点外快，其中地方官主要的收入就来自于地方税收的截流，俗称“火耗”。
孟天楚的工资是二两银子，相当于月工资人民币二千元。明朝嘉靖年间，一两银子可以购买大米二石，当时的一石约为九十四公斤左右，所以孟天楚的工资是二两银子，可以购买一百八十八公斤左右的大米，论斤也就是三百七十七斤左右。按照每人每月三十斤大米配置计算，可以养活十二个人。所以蔡钊给孟天楚的工资还算比较高的了。
随后，蔡知县又拿了六两银子双手递给孟天楚，这是聘礼。接着，让跟班长随周全在内衙安排一处院落给孟天楚一家居住。这师爷平日里都是在内衙帮助知县老爷处理政务，也就是入幕之宾。所以也住在知县老爷的内衙里。
孟天楚道：“既然已经受聘，东翁有何差遣尽管吩咐。”
蔡知县面现为难之色：“按理说，先生一路劳顿，应当歇息两天，只是眼下有一件为难之事，晚生无力处置，秦掌柜在信中提及先生一天之内连破两案，真是天助我也，这件事恐怕要烦请先生出免调处了。”
孟天楚笑了笑：“东翁可是为衙门口停尸之事烦愁？”
蔡知县叹了口气，点点头：“正是，前日里，这张老汉与邻居家闹纠纷告到衙门里，晚生发‘和息票’让捕头王译和捕快宋翔宇两人前去调解，不料王译失手将张老汉儿子张老大推dao，第二天上午死了，张老汉一家认定是王捕头所为，所以从前天起，停尸在衙门口，要求追究王捕头失手杀人的责任，还要赔偿若干烧埋银。”
孟天楚道：“这张老汉竟然敢停尸衙门口，怎地如此大胆？”
“先生有所不知，这张老汉一家是咱们杭州钱塘县知县沈乃春沈知县的远房亲戚，这沈知县与晚生一向不合，在后面撑腰想看我笑话的。而且，这件事情已经捅到了杭州知府柯乾柯大人那里去了，昨天下午，柯大人把我叫去，狠狠训斥了一顿，说是这件事再不处理稳妥，他只能向监察御史据实禀报，以我处断无能弹劾于我……”
