Chapter 234: Shocking Change
After a simple and clear situation, the human and material evidence was complete, and even the mountain bandit who pretended to be a homeless person was also brought to the pot, and even implicated the officials of the two neighboring counties where the incident occurred, as well as some officials of the prefecture and city to which they belonged. The clan camp hated this group of troublebreakers, although the zuihou materials were also found and completed, and they were even worse than the ones that were damaged before, for example: the wood is the same Nanmu, but the year has been changed from a hundred years to three or four hundred years, and a piece of Qingshan jade weighing three tons with some cracks has also been replaced with Yaoshan white jade weighing four tons, and the invalid Qingshan jade can also be split for other uses.
Rao got cheap like this, but King Ping, the head of the clan camp, felt that the villains were even more hateful!
"Vultures! Obviously, there are more haode materials in his hands, but they are hidden and not exposed! It shows even more that he has bad intentions! "But it turned out that as early as before the decision was made to repair the imperial ancestral hall, officials had been sent to privately investigate everywhere, and maybe there were people with a keen sense of political smell who dug up the materials in advance, secretly hid them, and waited for the upper authorities to really decide to start construction, and then threw them out to raise the price, or sell the royal family to save face, half sell and half give, and then exchange for other benefits.
That's all there is to it, but some people don't have long eyes, and they actually have crooked thoughts!
It is said that it is an internal struggle within the Qin family, but in fact, why is it not that some people with delusions are ready to move?
"Kill! Kill them all! Leave none behind! ”
This is the original words of King Ping, but Gao Shenghan has his own considerations, and after careful consideration, he made an appointment with two cabinet elders and Wang Fuguo, as well as some important officials in the court, and carefully analyzed various interests, and felt that it was better to be still. After all, now that there is a war going on in the north, the DPRK and China cannot tolerate any more turmoil, and it is better to execute only a few leaders who cause chaos. Others, beating and beating, confiscating family property and changing the capital crime to exile and hard labor, can more appease people's hearts.
Therefore, there is no need to make a holy decree, and the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department can directly make a judgment.
Qin Dongsheng and Qin Feng waited until the verdict was written, and they were all relieved to see that it was only the execution of Lord Qin and several clansmen and relatives and friends who participated in the plan, and the confiscation of family property, and the criminal's female dependents and minor children were sentenced to hard labor instead of being exiled to the border with their adult sons and nephews.
It's good if they can stay, they can also find a way to spend money to redeem people, but they can't redeem them, and spend some silver money to pay for the small officials in the mines, coal kilns or salt farms, etc., so that their lives will not be so sad, and they can be regarded as worthy of their ancestors and ancestors.
It's a pity that people who fall from heaven to hell when things happen don't appreciate their kindness. That's a story for later.
Gao Shenghan thought that this matter was over, but he didn't want to, before executing Qin Xiangsheng, he asked someone to bring a message, asking to see the emperor.
Gonggong Deng persuaded her: "Could it be that he has made some bad idea again?" The emperor is careful. "He's afraid that these dying people will bite indiscriminately, and the recent affairs of the young government eunuch have really kept him busy! Unexpectedly, the dead ghost Gonggong Li has a lot of appetite, and there are no less than ten Tian Manors under the names of others! More than his!
Ahem, the point is not this, he is not sour envy and jealousy, he just hates these white-eyed wolves who are not well fed and can't be fed, and he doesn't think about the emperor at all!
Gao Shenghan thought for a moment, "It's okay to see it. Let's see what else he can say. ”
Qin Xiangsheng lost a lot of weight.
When the chest is stabbed, it is the maintenance of good medicine and good soup, and the bones of the body are not as good as day by day, not to mention that he also knows that he will not escape this catastrophe, and he has no ambition to live.
Qin Feng pretended to be a little father-in-law and followed the emperor down. He didn't have any impression of this clan uncle, but he just wanted to see if there were any bullshit things in the Qin family that could come out of this person's mouth.
Seeing that there were suddenly two more people in the cell, still teenagers, Qin Xiangsheng knelt respectfully and kowtowed.
"The sinners see the emperor. Emperor Xie took pity on the widow and widow. "Originally, I had the will to die, thinking that my family had been killed, and I happened to be reunited in the underworld, and I didn't want to ...... The day before yesterday, the delicate wife and childish child suddenly appeared in front of me!
Knowing that someone sneaked into the Qin family's mansion to secretly rescue them, they were no longer under the supervision and control of those people, and rushed to the capital overnight, taking care of them along the way, and did not suffer hardships, Qin Xiangsheng felt that his report was worth it.
The sins he did were suffered by himself, and his wife and children were also not greedy, too stupid and stupid to be easily persuaded by others, and he was delusional. Fortunately, the family is fine, and the emperor is also extrajudicial to forgive them for the sins they don't know, and he has no regrets in this life.
He was fully dressed, straightened and knelt, but he opened the topic with the emperor like a casual conversation.
"Sinners will take risks and do wrong things, and it is also because their families are poor and they can't survive anymore, so they think that it is better to work hard to make a future......
"How do you get to the point where you can't live? What about the fields? The clan doesn't care if you live or die? Qin Feng listened a little unbearable, and took advantage of the other party's pause to interject.
Qin Xiangsheng raised his eyes in surprise and glanced at it, the young man behind the emperor was very handsome, and his voice was good and tight, but it was not as strange as a eunuch, and he listened to the other party's tone...... He suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly re-saluted: "The sinners don't know that the nobles are here......"
"Excuse me, go on." Gao Shenghan waved his hand impatiently.
Another hour passed in this chat.
Coming out of the prison and seeing the sun outside, Gao Shenghan couldn't help but close his eyes, feeling the light of the warm sun shining on his body, his face was facing the cold wind, it was cold, and his heart was even colder.
Qin Feng silently followed aside, lowering his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Seeing the emperor's cold face, the attendants trembled and didn't dare to say more, waiting for the two ancestors to return to the palace all the way.
Back in the palace, Gao Shenghan kicked over the chair that was in the way, and shouted: "Go!" The Ministry of Household Recruitment, the Ministry of Clerks, and the Secretaries of the Ministry of Households! ”
Exercise! These bastards are doing the opposite!
Before Lord Shangshu arrived, she sent two more edicts, inviting the elder and the assistant prince!
The next day, more than a dozen elite cavalry soldiers bravely held tokens in their hands, and came out of the city gate of the four directions, running in different directions like lightning!
The people in Beijing are in turmoil! I don't know how many people are losing their heads this time!
Gao Shenghan didn't plan to hide it. She couldn't swallow it anymore!
MD! Isn't it death to eat her and use hers, to conceal and underreport tax evasion, and now to plague her people and rob them of the rice and grain in their mouths?
Since their hearts are big, she doesn't plan to stay, dig out one and kill the other, so that the people won't be exploited when they can't survive!
However, Jihua couldn't catch up with the changes, and when the herald of the Son of Heaven arrived in various places to read the decree and mobilize the city guards to investigate and punish corrupt officials, some displaced people in the south gathered to make trouble, and began to storm the government and rich households, killing people and stealing food!
In the winter of the third year of Zhengyuan, many provinces in the south were homeless**.
