Chapter 500: Official Heart (3)
What is the reason why Chen Tianzheng chose to exonerate Ma Qiliang and Ma Chi?
In this room where the reception was not too big, Chen Tian's questioning of Sun Hao did not tell the reason for the first time, but first got up and walked to the window and pushed open the two windows, letting the sunlight shine in, and also let the noise of Quanzhou City outside the window crash in, driving away the haze caused by the solemn atmosphere in the room.
"I don't want to protect Ma Qiliang and Ma Chi, I probably want them to die the most."
Turning back and sitting down, Chen Tian said, "What I want to protect is the whole of Quanzhou." ”
"I want to hear about it."
Sun Hao raised his hand and signaled that the clerk did not need to continue recording, and the whole person leaned into the comfortable sofa, holding the tea boat, listening to music and watching the play.
Sun Hao's gesture was full of disbelief and contempt, but Chen Tianzheng did not show any unhappiness. His heart, like all the people in Quanzhou, did not understand.
"Quanzhou flourished in the Southern Song Dynasty and was also destroyed in the Southern Song Dynasty."
As soon as he opened his mouth, Chen Tianzheng first talked about the prosperous past of Quanzhou.
"Since Pu Shougeng took control of Quanzhou City, the development of Quanzhou has reached its peak, and at the same time, it has also led to a large number of Tianfang people pouring into Quanzhou and Fujian, causing chaos in the Yanhuang bloodline.
The scourge of the race is more prevalent than the hatred of the country and the family, and Quanzhou is inextricably fought, and Pu Shougeng is eager to turn Quanzhou of my Han people into Quanzhou of the Tianfang people.
At that time, the Southern Song Dynasty court did not have the heart to help Quanzhou, let alone protect it.
They dealt with the Jin people first and then the Mongols, and the front was a mess and repeatedly defeated. How can you take care of the people of Lishu in Quanzhou City.
Hurry up and wait for the traitor Zhang Hongfan to lead the army south, although Zhang Hongfan is much more merciful than the big butcher of Boyan, but in the end, the bandits are like combs, and the soldiers are like grates, and the rich land of Quanzhou will inevitably be plundered and plundered, coupled with Kublai Khan's massacre of the heavenly order, the Tianfang people in Fuquan and Fuquan were killed at the same time, how many of our Han sons and daughters were also affected and died.
Quanzhou, which used to sail thousands of times a day and flourished, became a dead city. ”
"Wait a minute."
At this time, Sun Hao raised his hand to interrupt Chen Tianzheng's eloquent talk: "Our family wants to know what you mean by Baoquanzhou, and we are not very interested in the history of Quanzhou." ”
"Without a historical origin, there is no reason for me."
At this time, Chen Tianzheng, who was completely let go, was not afraid of Sun Hao's identity, and said directly: "If your father-in-law doesn't want to listen, you can leave." ”
A touch of anger flashed across Sun Hao's face, and the angry Sun Hao said a few hellos: "Okay, our family shut up now, our family doesn't like to be angry with the dead." ”
"That's it."
After a while, Chen Tianzheng's mood was really much better: "The Yuan Dynasty has been in power for decades, and when Ahma was in power at first, Quanzhou was always passable, although it was a little bitter, but it could barely eat a bad rice.
As soon as Ahma died, how could the barbarians of the tyrannical yuan govern the country, the court had no money and would expropriate violently, Quanzhou was such a good place, the people were miserable, every household couldn't even eat hot food, and the frozen nests had to be willing to eat during the New Year.
Usually, whoever gets married and funeral, the food that is purchased has to be confiscated by the yamen, and it is said that it is paid to the capital, but in fact, it is divided up.
Which family doesn't starve to death a few children every year.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance, this is inevitable.
Later, the Baxi barbarians made a rebellion, they did not oppose the Mengyuan court, first looking for the stubble of our Han people, and Fujian became a piece again, at that time the wave of the national Red Turban Uprising had begun, and the Mongols suppressed the Baxi people after suppressing them.
Since the suppression of Baximan, this battle has been fought for nearly 20 years.
The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. At that time, Quanzhou was a scene, which was much worse than the current mass graves.
Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, the lines of words in the history books of the Fuzhi seemed to take me back to that era.
I can't understand the suffering of my ancestors, but you can listen to what the people of Quanzhou are saying now.
'Today's life is like a dream'!
Those old people in their old age said that if their lives were put 60 years ago, they would have been willing to let the people of that era die in one day.
It is better to be a peace dog than to leave people in chaos.
I was born in Hongwu Nian, and I can be regarded as catching up with the good days, because the situation is stable and the country is peaceful.
Although my family was poor when I was a child, a steamed bun was pickled, which was a day's food, but I could always fill my stomach without being hungry.
There is a full stomach to eat, there is no need to starve, and we are so cold that our little people will be content.
Wait until you ascend the throne today and change the new dynasty, this day, one day at a time, one day at a time.
Not to mention the common people, even I, as a parent official, feel that these days have become too fast, and I feel that I can't keep up.
In the past, when I was just admitted to the provincial examination, there was a case in the county, a beggar was very hungry, went into someone else's house to steal chickens, and was discovered by the owner, and the beggar killed the owner in a hurry, and killed a family of six without doing anything.
When the yamen received the report and rushed over, the beggar stood by the corpse and roasted chicken to eat.
When asked, the beggar said that he was hungry and that he just wanted to eat and live.
At that time, the county order was Ma Qiliang, Ma Qiliang was angry, his eyes were red with hatred, and the beggar was tortured to death before he could go to the execution ground.
Later, Ma Qiliang told me that he promised that all the people must be able to eat enough and not go hungry.
When it comes to doing it, Ma Qiliang is being promoted, and I am also being promoted, and Ma Qiliang's words are also my goal.
Today, the thirty-seventh year of the emperor's reign!
Ma Qiliang and I have done this, none of the 700,000 people in Quanzhou will hurt another person because of a chicken, because, I dare not say that I eat meat at once, but in Quanzhou, as long as you are not lazy, there is no difficulty in killing a chicken a week to make up for your body.
There are no beggars in Quanzhou, and the crime rate in Quanzhou is the lowest in the whole of Fujian and the whole of Daming!
This is the credit of the entire Quanzhou prefect's yamen and all the public officials.
We have governed Quanzhou to what it is today, the purpose is to prevent the human tragedy committed by the beggar from reappearing.
Everyone has food, clothing, and play, but who will go to sin?
With a stable family, a wife and children, who is going to create trouble?
It's not that we're fighting crime, it's that after we do a good job in people's livelihood, the people themselves will resist crime.
Sixty years ago, a child knew how to pick up a knife and kill someone!
This difference lies in the gap between stability and instability.
The group of students in Quanzhou University always say that the biggest beneficiary of stability is our group of rulers, and it is true that our pursuit of stability is indeed for our own legal foundation, but the biggest beneficiary of stability is the people, everyone under this stability system!
Quanzhou is rich, people are greedy, some unscrupulous businessmen began to commit crimes, to smuggle, at that time Quanzhou prefect Yamen did not have a good official, because he was corrupt and took bribes, resulting in this evil result is getting bigger and bigger, so big that when I take the position, Quanzhou is already rotten!
The whole Quanzhou is smuggling, what should I do?
You don't know the truth of the whole picture, you can stand on the sidelines and say cool things, but I can't, I am responsible for Quanzhou.
If the 700,000 people in Quanzhou want to survive, eat, develop and be rich, I am the first responsible person! Not you! It's not him Ma Qiliang, let alone Ma Chi!
They can be greedy up and down, you can condescendingly judge me, only me, only I have to rack my brains every day to stabilize Quanzhou, so that Quanzhou will not fall into the bottom of the abyss in one breath.
I reported to Nanjing, to the end, the world in Quanzhou was in chaos, thousands of heads rolling, what do the people of Quanzhou think, they will look at the flowing river of blood and sigh, wake up from a dream, it turns out that they are still living in an era full of crime, killing and bloody terror.
I couldn't shatter their dreams, so I reached a compromise with Ma Qiliang.
I can indulge in their smuggling, but this indulgence is a limited indulgence, based on not affecting the livelihood of the people of Quanzhou.
His people will never allow bullying and oppression of the people, so whenever a bad case occurs that will lead to Quanzhou entering Nanjing's sight, Ma Qiliang and I have the same idea.
We are all working together to deal with it, to arrest and sentence the criminals severely, and we will not tolerate those who should be killed, even if that person is Ma Qiliang or my own relatives and friends.
Wen Bin was killed by me, because he knew too much, he did all the tricks in prison, he betrayed the agreement we reached, that is, he would never make a big case.
Zhu Meikun's crackdown on smuggling was promoted by me, Ma Qiliang, and Ma Chi, because we all know that paper can't hold the fire, and sooner or later Nanjing will know about it, and it is very likely that Zhu Meikun's airborne landing is a sign that Nanjing is beginning to pay attention to Quanzhou.
We made an account for Zhu Meikun to see, so that he could find out the clues and start to investigate the case, kill a group of ghosts for the dead, and fine a tax evasion silver, and the matter will be revealed.
Since then, there has been no smuggling in Quanzhou, and everyone has been washed ashore.
The reason why Ma Chi took the public service exam was to prepare for the future. ”
The truth of everything is revealed.
The three leaders of the smuggling syndicate in Quanzhou, Chen Tianzheng, Ma Qiliang, and Ma Chi.
Chen Tianzheng himself was not involved in smuggling, he was just forced to join in order to better control the development of this smuggling group.
The purpose is to control the situation and steer the overall situation.
When Zhu Meikun landed in Quanzhou, the three of them teamed up to make a game for Zhu Meikun to see.
What accounts are wrong, what two people are fighting, it is all fake.
Investigate a batch, arrest a batch, punish a batch, and kill a batch.
This matter was revealed, and from then on all the living people lived well and went ashore in vain.
This is also when Dou He was assassinated on the same day, Ma Qiliang almost subconsciously shouted the phrase "protect the mansion".
Chen Tianzheng hated Ma Qiliang and others, because if it weren't for wiping their buttocks for these two people, Chen Tianzheng could have lived with peace of mind. And Ma Qiliang doesn't like Chen Tianzheng either, but he doesn't want Chen Tianzheng to have an accident.
The two have been friends for more than ten years, although one is honest and the other is corrupt, but they were both born and raised in Quanzhou, both have feelings for the city, and both want to maintain development while reserving differences.
So when interrogating Ma Qiliang, Ma Qiliang said that Chen Tianzheng was forced to compromise and let go of his selfishness, but did not bite Chen Tianzheng, including Wen Bin's death, concocted a fake case to deceive Zhu Meikun, Ma Qiliang knew that Chen Tianzheng did it, but Ma Qiliang didn't say anything.
It's just that he is forced to compromise, and he will be imprisoned for a lifetime at most, and any other crime will be killed.
"Now that everything should be said and done, what to do with it in the future, leave it to the monarch."
Chen Tianzheng paused in his seat, with a sad face: "The smuggling of the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce, the smuggling of the Quanzhou Huangshang Branch, and the smuggling of Quanzhou shipping, all the accounts Ma Chi knows that this knife is tens of thousands of heads when it is raised."
But I want to say one thing, that is, none of the foreigners have profited through smuggling, and it is good that smuggling and tax evasion have infringed on the interests of the state, but I guarantee one thing, all the profits they have obtained from smuggling have been fed back to Quanzhou.
It is equivalent to us withholding part of the country's money to develop Quanzhou, of course, we do not deny that some of them are filled with private pockets and put into their own personal pockets.
But personally, in addition to the money I raised to support my family, including my money, I used it to build Quanzhou and donated it to Quanzhou University.
Personally, I have a clear conscience. ”
After listening to Chen Tianzheng's self-report, Sun Hao was silent for a long time, and sighed silently.
"What other face do you have to say that you have a clear conscience, Quanzhou's overall erosion, you are mainly responsible!"
After sighing, Sun Hao got up and wanted to leave, and then paused, and looked back sharply.
"Did you kill Dou He!"
"It's not."
Chen Tianzheng shook his head: "If you kill Dou He, the matter will get out of control, and Dou He doesn't know too deeply, he only knows about smuggling in Quanzhou, and I don't know if I, Ma Qiliang, and Ma Chi are involved." ”
At this time, Sun Hao's expression was much more serious.
