Chapter 378: Is It Okay to Ask Yourself?

When Huang Qiong said this, although it was not ordinary, the murderous aura in her tone was exposed. This murderous aura made Su Jin and Jian Yong tremble, and at the same time, they were also relieved. They were all afraid that Huang Qiong would be too angry, and they would directly click the Zhizhou who was bold and dared to pull his tiger skin to do evil.

The lord in front of him, but at the beginning, even his cousin, the earl of Qinfeng, dared to pull him to the street and give him a knife directly. Not only did the world shake, but the government and the opposition talked about it, and the recitals that attacked him were piled up in Wende Palace. It made the new eldest princess Cai cry almost three times a day. Both of them were worried that a count would be killed, let alone a nephew of Concubine De.

But this guy, although he doesn't have a knighthood, is only a fifth-grade Zhizhou in terms of official position, and the difference between him and that earl is too far in grade. But compared to the eldest princess who has no real power and only an empty position. The background of this protΓ©gΓ© of the family behind him is actually much deeper.

The reply given by Huang Qiong, in the eyes of the two, is not too reassuring. But the two also knew that this was already the biggest concession that the British king in front of them could make. As long as you don't kill that Zhizhou, the rest of the things will be much easier. As for Concubine De's distant nephew, neither of them paid attention to it.

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the two, Huang Qiong just smiled faintly. Picked up the tea bowl in his hand and took a sip, and only after the Biluo spring tea in the bowl did he say, "How is that Chen Ye doing in your Zhengzhou Mansion prison?" Did he open his mouth about the things that this king wanted to know? Do not tell the king that you have not received a confession. ”

Hearing that Huang Qiong's tone was a little dissatisfied, Jian Yong, who was still in charge of the Zhengzhou Mansion for the time being, hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, that Chen Ye, after entering the Zhengzhou Mansion prison, his attitude was very arrogant. Not only did he not truthfully explain the affairs of Mizhou, but he repeatedly threatened the officials and the officials who ran errands. In the end, there was no way, and the lower officials could only be punished. ”

It didn't take a few lashes for him to throw them all away. This person is indeed Concubine De's distant cousin. Originally, it was Concubine De's father's family, and he stayed in Zhengzhou to guard his hometown's homestead. This time, after the governor of Mizhou took office, he asked him from Zhengzhou Mansion to Mizhou to make things easier. That Lord Zhizhou is still very cunning, and he has never trusted the people left behind by the Mizhou State Government. ”

"Not only do I trust the people he transferred from his hometown, but also the people he brought from the capital. The officials belonging to Mizhou, except for the Xing arresting head, were not replaced because of the need to arrest them. The rest of the people, whether they were Tongzhi or Tongju, were all replaced by people he brought from the capital or from the old mansion. ”

"Less than half a month after this person took office in Michigan, he lived with a Feng** person who didn't know where to run to Michigan and had a child by his side. The house that was returned to the owner, which was occupied by a steward in charge of managing Mizhou affairs in King Jing's Mansion, was turned into his own outer house, which was specially used to house the mother and son. ”

Since then, he has been hanging out with that woman all day, never working at the yamen every day, and all official business is handled by his henchmen to the outer house. He can be said to be obedient to that woman, and the woman gave him the method of collecting the arrears of money and grain in previous years under your banner. ”

Under the instigation of that woman, twenty-eight percent of the money and grain collected belonged to them, and the rest was put into his own pocket by Zhizhou. The money collected went directly into the outer house. At all, he has not paid a penny or a bucket of rice to the Mizhou State Treasury. ”

"As for how much food each family should pay, they never counted. It's all about one mouth, and it's as much as you say. Even these managers, in order to put more into their own pockets, have doubled the original number. The people couldn't pay it, and the land that had just been returned was retaken back and became the private property of the magistrate. ”

"If the people are unwilling to pay, they simply rob it. From the beginning of the land, cattle, sheep, livestock, to the current robbery of women. The women who were forcibly snatched by them to pay off their debts because they could not pay the arrears of money and food, the governor first wasted them, rewarded them for three days and then sold them. ”

"Some women had just been rescued and returned to their former husbands, and they snatched them up again before a few days had passed. Lord Wang, looking at what the Mizhou Governor did, it can be said that he almost copied the style of those in charge of the Jingwang Mansion in the past. It's just that his doglegs don't know where he got the people's fat and people's ointment that the Mizhou governor almost robbed. ”

What he only knew was that during these days, every half a month, there was a cart of money or more than a dozen carts of property, which was transported out of Mizhou City and did not know where to go. As for the grain that was collected, it did not stop in Mizhou, and it was also transported out once every half a month. As for where the grain went, they didn't know. ”

"These things are all done by people from the capital, and they are not even allowed to ask. These of them, who were transferred from Zhengzhou to Mizhou, were only responsible for going down to collect. However, as far as he knew, the Zhizhou did not have ordinary trust in the outer room of his new na, and many of the ideas came from this woman. ”

"Originally, that Zhizhou, for the sake of being an official in the same dynasty as Sima Hong, did not intend to embarrass him. However, this woman repeatedly persuaded him to make an example of him and find someone who dared to come forward and rectify it ruthlessly, so that the people of Michigan could dispel the idea of resisting taxes and pay the money and grain. And that woman also told them privately that they must take care of Sima Hong's family. ”

"Especially Sima Hong's little daughter-in-law, even if Sima Hong pays the money and grain, he must not let it go. Later, the woman inadvertently leaked her mouth, and they knew why this woman was holding on to Sima Hong's family. Sima Hong's youngest daughter-in-law went to Mizhou City to grab medicine last month, and after being seen by the Zhizhou Lord by chance, she was shocked that the heavens had been thinking about it. ”

"It's that the interest on the bed has been reduced by three points, which makes this woman very jealous. However, this woman also knew her identity, so in order to fix her favor, she sent Sima Hong's daughter-in-law to the bed of the Zhizhou. Anyway, it fell into their hands, and there are ways to rectify it in the future. It's not bad for a while, so that other women can be proud. ”

"According to those doglegs, this woman is very insidious. Their fear of this woman is even higher than that of the governor. In addition to the fact that Lord Zhizhou is obedient to this woman, there is also a very important point, that is, this woman has a lot of wrists. It seems that humans and animals are harmless, but in fact, many times the ideas come up with make people beg for death. ”

Even if he has a certain amount of psychological preparation, he listens to Jian Yong's statement. Huang Qiong, who really couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, slammed the tea bowl made of Jun porcelain in her hand to the ground: "Shameless and ridiculous, as the son of an official eunuch and a royal prince, I actually did such a thing, and I don't even know the reason why the officials forced the people to rebel." ”

"If he continues to do this, the overall situation that the king has worked hard to stabilize, I am afraid that he will be ruined by him from the five-grade Zhizhou. There is still a trace of court officials in this person, what should he look like and behave? was manipulated by a woman, and the family behind the guard of honor looked at the court, the king, and the officials of Zhengzhou Mansion as if they were nothing, and ruled the people with such fish and meat. ”

"Su Jin and Jian Yong, under your rule, there were such disobedient people, and it lasted for two months. You don't know anything. You yourself say, are this prefect and the same governor qualified? I really don't know how this king took a fancy to you two people in the first place, they were simply stupid and incompetent. ”

Huang Qiong was so angry that she even scolded words like stupidity and incompetence. Huang Qiong, who had never said such heavy things to the two before, this comment was the first time. In the face of Huang Qiong's anger, not to mention Su Jin, Jian Yong, who has always considered himself to have a relatively smooth personality, was also a little overwhelmed.

also knew that this matter had come to this point, and it was indeed his own dereliction of duty in Su Jin and Jian Yong. I could only kneel on the ground and listen honestly, not daring to have any dissatisfaction. They all know that under the open and secret arrows in all aspects, in order to stabilize the situation in Zhengzhou as soon as possible, complete the aftermath as soon as possible, and let the people have something to rely on, how much effort and what price the British king in front of him has spent.

I also know that the British king served as the envoy of Zhengzhou, and how many people in the palace and the court were waiting to see jokes and find trouble. Behind the two of them, how much did the British king bear for the two of them. At present, it is not easy to stabilize initially, but what the Mizhou governor did almost ruined the overall situation.

What is Mizhou, that is the Bianzhou Mansion where the Henan Road Governance Office is located, and the Zhengzhou Mansion where he is currently located leads to the throat of Jingzhao. It's not far from Zhengzhou, but it's not far from Jingzhao. Mizhou is under the jurisdiction of Zhengzhou Prefecture, but it is also at the foot of the Son of Heaven in terms of geography. Once Mizhou changes, it will not only shake Zhengzhou, but the whole of Gyeonggi.

According to what the governor did, it would be a matter of day and night to cause civil unrest. If Mizhou is in chaos, will Jingzhao still be stable? What's more, the people's hearts in Zhengzhou are now predetermined. Once there is a civil unrest in a certain state and county, and those people with ulterior motives behind it are instigated, no one knows whether it will trigger a reaction from other states and counties?

At that time, the hard work of the King of England during this period of time will be in vain. Those dormant people and hidden arrows in the palace and the court will jump out as soon as possible. And the two of them, as the prefect of Zhengzhou and the same governor, actually didn't know anything about what the governor did in Mizhou. Looking at the somewhat gaffe King in front of them, the two couldn't help but feel extremely ashamed.

After venting the anger in her heart, Huang Qiong, who felt better in her heart for a different kind of depression. After raising his hand and signaling the two kneeling in front of him to get up, his tone also stabilized and said, "Okay, now is not the time to be held accountable." The next step for you to do is to cooperate with the king to take down this man. ”

"When this matter is dealt with, whoever is responsible will be responsible. You guys go back and think about how to wipe that guy's ass next. That bastard has been in Michigan for three months, and the damage he has caused to the people is difficult to eliminate for three years. Next, think carefully about how to make up for the people of Michigan. ”

"Governor of Mizhou, if you have someone you think is suitable, you can also put it forward now, and the king of the ministry will go and say it. This king is about to return to Beijing, and I am afraid that this will be the last time to help you. But this candidate, you have to weigh it well. If there is another such official in Michigan, I am afraid that the official coercion of the people is just around the corner. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Qiong looked at the two of them with some hatred: "You are the parent officials of all the states and counties in Zhengzhou Prefecture, not the parent officials of Guancheng County." Listen to everything and move more, you can't always lock yourself in this Zhengzhou Mansion and don't go out for a single step. If something like this happens again, this king must really take a good look at whether the two of you are competent or not. ”
