Chapter 422: Results
It is no surprise that Xiao Ruan's is also a decisive end!
Mu Zhanbei's gaze fell on Chen Xianling, and his brows furrowed slightly invisibly.
If you want to say that killing chickens and monkeys is an example, killing this Chen County Order is the best deterrent. It's just that this Chen County Commander is a corrupt official, but he is not a dog official who cares about people's lives. It is true that he has not done anything for the people in all his years in office, but he has never unjustly killed anyone. Of course, this may also be due to the fact that he has handled fewer cases. But the fact is that he was greedy for a lot of money, but he never touched anyone's life.
Kill? Or not kill?
Mu Zhanbei only hesitated for a moment, and the chill in his eyes suddenly became cold again.
The matter has come to this point, there is no reason not to kill!
"King, lord, please spare the county to order Lord to die!" The one who trembled and pleaded for mercy was actually the onlookers!
Mu Zhanbei's eyes sank suddenly, and his gaze accurately fell on the victim who opened his mouth to plead! The victim obviously didn't expect that the pressure would be so great when facing His Excellency the God of War, and his body, which was already a little shrunken and shivering because of the cold, was now shaking into a sieve!
"Why?" Mu Zhanbei said coldly, it was indeed unexpected that there would be victims of the disaster to intercede for Chen County. So, he can make an exception and listen to the other party's reasoning.
The victim seemed to be at a loss for what to do, and could not utter a word for a long time. Fortunately, Mu Zhanbei's patience was still sufficient, and after waiting for a while, this person finally stammered and explained.
"Although the county magistrate is a big corrupt official, he is also greedy for some silver. Those of us who are shaving in the field don't have anything to worry about the county magistrate, at most a little more when we collect grain and pay taxes. But, this is already very good, and the county magistrate will not go to the countryside to embarrass us. I haven't heard that the county magistrate has killed people at will, and it's much better than the dog officials who had nothing to do and killed someone casually. ”
Hearing him say this, other people who were willing to intercede for Chen Xianling also had the courage to intercede for him. Speaking of which, their requirements are not high, as long as the parents are not cruel/brutal, so they can't live. This Chen County Order is the best official here in the past ten years. He is just greedy, and he doesn't rob people's daughters, and he won't beat and kill people for a casual reason. If it weren't for the merchant's price increase this time, the county lady would have forced them to have their last way of life, and they would not have shouted and killed.
Chen Xianling raised his head and looked at the group of people in front of him who he had never seen before, who were blue because of hunger and cold, he never expected that in the end, it was this group of people who were interceding for him!
Why intercede for him? As a parent official, he didn't even do anything useful for them?
Listening to what they said again, Chen Xianling suddenly felt that his face burned painfully.
It turns out that in the eyes of these people, he is a good official if he doesn't kill or rob, but he is just greedy? How could their requirements be so low? How can their hearts be so good? Obviously, they can watch themselves die, but if they don't discipline him strictly, even if they die, they deserve it, right? He is also a scholar who studies hard in the cold window, and no matter how stupid he is, he understands that he is going to be used as a chicken to make an example of the monkey. He was also ready to die, but he was shocked by the change in the situation, and he only felt ashamed.
I suddenly remembered what Mr. Enlightenment had said when I first entered the village school.
The gentleman asked him why he was studying, and he said that he was an official! The gentleman asked him again, why did he become an official? He remembered clearly, he was only five years old at the time, and he said conclusively: "Ask for the people's life!" ”
Asking for life for the people is the reason why he fights for it and only wants to be an official. Even though the situation was unstable at that time, and he often couldn't study hard in peace, he still persevered.
But what did he do in the end? Not only is he not making decisions for the people, he is even stripping his people!
He is ashamed of the gentleman and the people!
Mu Zhanbei's expressionless eyes lowered and looked at him coldly: "Chen County Order, do you have something to say?" ”
Chen Xianling's face was ashen: "Xiaguan ......" He hesitated for a moment, and when he finally looked up at Mu Zhanbei, there was a more determined look in his eyes, "Lord Wang, Xiaguan knows that he is guilty of a deep sin, and he is unforgivable. The lower officials don't ask for anything else, they just ask the prince to open up the net, so that the lower officials can keep this breath for the time being and do something for the people. ”
At first, he was a little afraid to say it, but after he really said it, he took a breath, and it was much easier to say: "Xiaguan is the county commander of Mingfeng County, these are the people of Xiaguan, and Xiaguan should be in charge of them." But in fact, the lower officials have never done anything for them. The matter has come to this point, and the lower officials do not ask for the merits to atone for their sins, but only ask the prince to stay with the lower officials first. The snow disaster has not yet ended, and the prince cannot stay in Mingfeng County for a long time. Xia Guan hopes that he can temporarily take over the post of county commander and can get through this difficult time together with the people. After the snow disaster is over, it is not too late for the prince to ask the officials again. ”
Mu Zhanbei's face was slightly pale, and no one knew what he was thinking. Those victims were willing to give Chen Xianling a chance, but Mu Zhanbei's momentum was too intimidating, and they didn't have the courage to speak.
Mu Zhanbei doesn't like this, it's okay to atone for his crimes, it also depends on what kind of crime he committed! Xu is used to the set of military camps, and when he comes to the set in front of him, he only feels that he doesn't like it.
But he didn't object!
After a while, he said in a cold voice: "Wrong is wrong!" You're a parent and you're in power, but you're not doing what you have to do. You have connived at the wives of the inner house and their subordinates to run amok and do lawless things. Even if you didn't kill people with your own hands, if you had stopped them, those people wouldn't have died. Do you recognize these? ”
Chen Xianling lowered his head: "Xiaguan, admit your guilt!" Even though he did not know about this incident in advance, in fact, if he hadn't allowed the vendors to raise the price first, the subsequent incident might not have happened. Therefore, even if he didn't do it, it is not too much to say that those people died because of him.
Mu Zhanbei glanced at him again, and said coldly: "It's good to know the guilt!" The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and no one can be an exception! Capital sins can be forgiven, but living sins are unforgivable. This king will punish you and exile you for 3,000 miles! Do you recognize it? ”
Exile instead of beheading, this was already an accident for Chen County. It's just that he can't make up for it before leaving, and he inevitably regrets it in his heart.
Mu Zhanbei still hasn't finished speaking: "However, your attitude of admitting guilt is acceptable, and someone needs to do something practical at this time." This king will give you a chance, and still serve as the county commander of Mingfeng County. This king will have people watch you to see what you can do for these stricken people. This king's ugly words are also said in the front, if you do not do things well, this king will exile you immediately! ”
After Chen Xianling was lost, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.
Mu Zhanbei glanced at him coldly: "You don't want to thank this king, you still have to be exiled afterwards, this king will never be soft-hearted!" ”
That's the best! Chen Xianling respectfully kowtowed to him and thanked him for his grace.
This is already the best result!
