Chapter 416: Scaring the Officers of the Military Department
"Princess Rong spares her life, begs Princess Rong to spare her life, the lower officials are just confused for a while, so they will do the wrong thing, beg the princess to spare her life!" The kneeling official quickly begged for mercy at Liu Rong.
When several other officials heard this official's words, their hearts were shocked, and their bodies were almost unable to stand.
Liu Rong raised her eyebrows and looked at the official as if she was puzzled: "My lord, what kind of thing is this talking about, I don't seem to have done anything to you, my lord?" ”
"I ...... I ......" Hearing Liu Rong's words, the kneeling official was nervous and about to cry, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only keep repeating one word.
If the rice merchant is brought up, he will really check it according to what Liu Rong said, and he will not be able to hide the facts no matter what, and it will definitely be over at that time, and I am afraid that it will be even more unlucky than saying it now, thinking like this, this official gritted his teeth, and finally revealed that he had participated in the matter of letting the grain merchant hire homeless people to buy grain from Liu's grain shop, and even the things that other adults had participated in were also revealed.
After saying everything, the kneeling official looked at Liu Rong cautiously, but seeing Liu Rong's expressionless face, his heart became even more nervous, and he kept kowtowing to Liu Rong.
And several other officials have also knelt down with this official, begging for mercy at Liu Rong, although at first several officials blamed the kneeling officials for telling these things, but think about the current situation carefully, really let Liu Rong use the method she said to investigate this matter, how can it be found out, and when the time comes, the matter will be stabbed in front of the emperor, then they will all be finished, and the emperor will definitely take their lives.
Thinking of this, several officials kowtowed more diligently: "As long as Princess Rong spares us this time." We must obey Princess Rong, beg Princess Rong, and ask Princess Rong to spare our lives. ”
Zuo Tingxuan looked at these officials coldly, although he guessed that these officials were involved in this matter, but when he really heard a few officials admit it in person, he still couldn't help but be angry, if it wasn't for Liu Rong's interrogation method, I'm afraid these officials wouldn't admit it.
Seeing these officials kowtowing and begging for mercy like this, they couldn't afford to have the slightest mercy when they did this. I don't know how to pity the people who may not be able to eat.
Such people. You can't just let it go.
Thinking like this, Zuo Tingxuan looked at Liu Rong, waiting for Liu Rong to order this matter to be dealt with, in his mind. With Liu Rong's character. I will never let these people go.
didn't let Zuo Tingxuan wait long. Liu Rong looked at a few people kneeling in front of her and said, "Okay, don't kowtow, Huang's eyes hurt." ”
Liu Rong's words came out. Several officials were stunned, and they looked at Liu Rong with blank eyes.
"It's not impossible to spare you, but you have to deal with me a few things." As soon as Liu Rong's words came out, several officials were ecstatic, but Zuo Tingxuan's expression was stiff, he didn't expect Liu Rong to say such a thing at all. If it weren't for these officials kneeling in front of him, this matter had already been taken care of by Liu Rong, and he couldn't do anything, he would probably have already begun to question Liu Rong.
Such scum, scum who should not exist among officials, how can they be forgiven! They should all be killed!
Several officials were overjoyed, and hurriedly responded: "Princess Rong, even if you mention it, as long as you can spare us, we will agree to any conditions, absolutely unambiguous." ”
Liu Rong could naturally feel the disapproving gaze that Zuo Tingxuan shot over, but she didn't plan to change her mind: "Don't respond too quickly, I said, I'm afraid you may not be able to do it." ”
Hearing Liu Rong's words, the hearts of several officials couldn't help but mention, but if they didn't agree, they would die, Liu Rong's words were like a life-saving straw, how could they give up, without waiting for Liu Rong to continue, they responded unanimously and definitely listened to Liu Rong's words.
Seeing that several officials quickly responded, Liu Rong mockingly hooked the corners of her mouth: "My request is also simple, first, donate all the silver taels at home to help the refugees!" 2. Sign and draw the charge, admit all the charges, and keep the pleadings by us. ”
When Liu Rong's first condition was heard, several officials' bodies froze, and when they heard the second condition, several officials were already like ghosts.
"Well, it's better to let us die directly!" The old official was the first to react and speak, if these were all agreed, but all the money in the house was handed over to Princess Rong, which is good to say, if this second condition is agreed, it means that Princess Rong can ask for their lives at any time.
Such a thing, how can he accept.
The faces of several other officials were also blue and red, they could think of Liu Rong putting forward any conditions, but they never thought that Liu Rong would put forward such conditions, doesn't this mean that they donated all the money in the family, if Princess Rong was unhappy, they might still lose their lives directly.
Zuo Tingxuan didn't agree with Liu Rong's approach, he listened to Liu Rong's conditions, but his eyes lit up, if he only cured the sins of these people, he would not be of any help to the people, but if he followed Liu Rong's approach, he would definitely be able to really help the people.
Zuo Tingxuan looked at Liu Rong's gaze and admired it even more, and at the same time sighed slightly in his heart, such a woman is indeed only worthy of someone like Shangguan Yu, but thinking that Shangguan Yu had been tossing for a long time, Liu Rong still didn't react, Zuo Tingxuan couldn't help but smile.
Even if he wants his brother to get his favorite woman, he doesn't want the other party to get it so simply, being tortured like this is what he wants to see the most, hey, he's really bad-hearted.
Liu Rong didn't know that Zuo Tingxuan's brain was so big all of a sudden, and he suddenly turned to other places, and when he heard the words of several officials, his face was still flat, and he was not unhappy at all: "Several adults are really smart, and I don't know that Dao Dao chooses this condition, in fact, I don't want several adults to choose like this." ”
"It's good to let the emperor know the Tao directly, maybe the emperor is angry, and he feels that the behavior of the adults affects the image of the court, it is better to say that the adults are the people of the three emperors who are anti-thieves, which just makes them even more unpopular, and by the way, it can also destroy your nine clans and relieve their anger."
"In this way, the money in your family can also be used to help the victims, which is just a triple win."
As Liu Rong's words spoke. The faces of several officials became darker and darker, although Liu Rong said something incredible, but if she thought about it carefully, it was not impossible and unreasonable.
Several officials were in various moods, but they could not make up their minds when they were asked to deal with such a thing immediately.
Liu Rong was not in a hurry, but slowly waited for several officials to respond.
The reason why they made such a choice and said such things is that in addition to not wanting to easily bypass these officials, there is one of the most important reasons. It was also something that suddenly occurred to her before. That is, Liu's grain shop needs to be maintained.
Nowadays, there are more and more refugees, and there is also a need for someone to do things for the people sincerely, and Liu Rong, who is next to her, really doesn't trust it, after all, these officials are for their own interests. can do the thing of using refugees to take away Liu's grain shop. Then the reaction of the flood spread. There is also a need for disaster relief, and maybe there will be officials who will do even more extreme things.
Instead of this, it is better to get a few officials who will do bad things again. And these officials of the Ministry of War happen to be good candidates, not to mention letting them help in disaster relief, and only letting them keep an eye on other officials in the disaster relief in the next few days, maybe they can play a good role and eliminate the corrupt elements who still do bad things in the disaster.
"Princess, I am willing, I am willing to do what you say, Princess Rong, as long as you spare my life, I am willing." The official who knelt down to Liu Rong first listened to Liu Rong's words, and without waiting for the other officials to speak, he spoke directly to Liu Rong quickly.
He was already frightened by Liu Rong's methods, and only thought that when the time came, not only would he be finished, but the family would also be finished, so it would be better to let his fate be in the hands of the princess in front of him, so that there would be a glimmer of life.
The corners of Liu Rong's mouth hooked: "The adult is really a smart person, I like to deal with such a smart person, Lord Zuo, I'm going to trouble you next, let me write a confession to this adult, and let the adult draw a charge by the way." ”
Shangguan Yu nodded quickly, then walked to the desk on the side to help polish the ink and write.
Liu Rong looked at the other struggling officials: "These adults seem to be sure of their answers, so it's just right, let the officials directly take the adults into prison, wait for the rice merchants to arrive, receive the evidence, and then present the evidence to the emperor." ”
Liu Rong leaned back in her chair as she spoke, and asked Dong'er, who was waiting on the side, to pour herself a cup of tea, waiting for the servant to come over.
Several officials looked at Liu Rong's indifferent appearance, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and at the end, two more officials and Liu Rong opened their mouths, asking to sign the same as the kneeling official.
In the end, there was only the obvious treacherous and cunning old official, and there was an official who looked quite years old, these two officials obviously didn't believe that Liu Rong had such the ability to do such a thing.
The old official didn't talk about it, but the official who looked young was not low in the court at home, and thought that even if Liu Rong was a princess, she couldn't do anything to him if she found out the evidence.
Liu Rong doesn't care about the reaction of these two people, it's enough to find a few thugs, and it doesn't take too much.
For her, it is just right to use these two people to establish authority, so that the officials in the capital can know what kind of things can be done and what kind of things cannot be done.
Disaster wealth is something that cannot be done, and once it is done, there is only one result, and that is to die without a place to be buried.
Not long after, several grain merchants came, Liu Rong asked several grain merchants to write down the evidence according to what she said before, and sure enough, she mentioned that the two officials were related, and Liu Rong directly collected all the evidence and submitted it to the emperor.
When the emperor knew about this matter, he was directly furious, and he didn't even want to see these two officials, so he directly beheaded him, and the old official's home was directly copied, and as for the young official, the people of their family directly expelled the official from the family in order not to be implicated.
And those grain merchants who did these things were all raided, and the grain was collected for disaster relief. As for the people, the families of the grain merchants are okay, and the parties involved are all exiled to the frontier.
This incident caused a sensation in the entire Great Xia government and the opposition, and at the same time, it also made all the officials in front of the court remember Liu Rong, and there was only one thought in their hearts, others were okay to say, a woman like Liu Rong must not be offended.
Liu Rong didn't know that she just wanted to teach a lesson to those who dared to make a fortune, but she also got such an effect.
And the officials who signed and drew the charge with Liu Rong were extremely happy at the moment, just looking at the fate of the two people who did not sign and draw, the three of them had palpitations, if they chose the wrong one, their fate would definitely be the same.
Thinking of Liu Rong's current control of their life and death, they immediately became busy, and directly asked the housekeeper to carefully check the silver in the house and take out all the silver to help the victims. They didn't want to follow in the footsteps of these two officials because they didn't do what Liu Rong said.
However, what Liu Rong didn't expect was that because she forced these three officials to help the victims, and these three officials were afraid of serious behavior, the entire imperial court set off a frenzy of donating to the victims, which made the matter of helping the victims in Kyoto a lot easier.
This was a great surprise to the saint today, and he also rewarded the three officials severely, but this did not surprise the three officials, but was shocked into a cold sweat, and immediately ran to Liu Rong's side to admit all kinds of mistakes, making Liu Rong cry and laugh.
