Chapter 384: Plea
After revealing the biggest lie of Lord Chen, Huang Qiong said coldly: "Since it is in your heart, King Jing's original arrears of money and grain must be recovered. Under the name of King Song, who should not have held the land, the 3,000 acres of good land right under your nose, how many dollars of tax did you collect? How many buckets of imperial grain have been paid? Could it be that King Jing is a clan, and your cousin is not a prince? ”
"What's more, according to the ancestral system, it is against the law to privately occupy the land for the prince of the domain. Since you want to make a strong order, how many acres of land have you confiscated? There is such a difference between the inside and the outside, and you still say those words so naturally. is full of benevolence, righteousness, morality, and impartial law enforcement, but he leaves behind courtesy, righteousness, honesty, justice, and justice, which is really shameless. ”
"As a member of the royal family, you do not want to serve the king at this difficult time for the country, but instead take the opportunity to collect the people's fat and ointment, which is really a great crime. also under the banner of the king and Concubine De Niangniang, so that the court lost the hearts of the people among the people of Mizhou, and its heart was even more punishable. You have only been in office for three months, and the crimes you have committed are not exaggerated. ”
Regarding Huang Qiong's scolding, this Chen Zhizhou may know about himself, and he no longer has any excuses and reasons, so he simply sneered to the end: "King Ying, you don't have to cry here and fake mercy, and say these words of educating the official." What should this official do, it is not your turn to teach a lesson from Huaiyang desire. ”
"That's right, this official has made a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect that in the end, it was a bad move and he lost in your hands. But don't look at the royal family, but you can kill an earl, but you can't kill the official. In the world of the Great Qi Dynasty, it is not the turn of the British King to call the shots. With the family background of this official, even if he does not wear this official uniform, he is also prosperous and wealthy. ”
This guy is still in an unrepentant posture, and Huang Qiong is not angry. Just said lightly: "Kill you?" Kill a scumbag like you, this king is afraid of dirty his hands. If you have violated the law of the land, the law of the country will deal with you. Kill you, this king doesn't have that spare time right now. However, this king still has time to rip off your official uniform. ”
Speaking of this, Huang Qiong didn't pay attention to Chen Zhizhou, who still didn't bow his head, and ordered to a few of the soldiers around him: "Come on, since Lord Chen is unwilling to take off this official uniform by himself, a few of you can help him." Be quick with your hands and feet, don't let Lord Chen be upset when you wait. ”
Seeing Huang Qiong's side, there were some eager pro-soldiers. This Chen Zhizhou is also a bachelor, he took the initiative to take off the foot cover on his head and threw it on the ground, and took off the official robe on his body neatly: "You don't have to do it with the king, the official will come by himself." But the King of England, can you pick up the official uniform of the official for a while, can you pick off the official uniform of the first official? ”
"Whether this king's official uniform can be taken off or not, you can't decide. If you don't believe it, it's a long time, and who can have the last laugh, we can wait and see. As for the Su Governor's Mansion, this official will be wronged by you for a few days. As for the future, we will have a long time to come. With that, he stopped looking at the people in the house, and walked out with a sneer.
After Chen Zhizhou, who did not bow his head to the end, was escorted away. After Huang Qiong asked the woman to be taken away, she turned her head and instructed Su Jin and Jian Yong: "Hurry up and interrogate, the punishment that should be moved must be moved." The king does not ask about the process, as long as her confession. After the interrogation was over, Jian Yong escorted the woman and the doglegs to Mizhou City. ”
"This king wants to use the heads of these people to stabilize the hearts of the people in Mizhou. After taking care of these people, Jian Yong stayed in Mizhou first. Those women who have been sold, no matter what method you use, this king must find a way to find them and send them home. As for the rest, come up with a piece of paper and think about making up for it. But there is one thing, if a person freezes to death in Mizhou this winter, this king will find you Jian Yong to settle accounts. ”
After explaining Su Jin and Jian Yong, Huang Qiong turned her head again, looked at the Mizhou officials who were trembling and kneeling in front of her with expressionless faces, and said in a voice that was almost between her teeth: "Do you go to the fold and ask for your resignation yourself, or will this king send you to accompany the former Zhengzhou prefect?" ”
"As a state judge and a state judge, not only did you fail to play the role of checks and balances and supervision that the imperial court asked you to play, but instead aided and abetted the abuse. Even if you are urging the forces behind someone Chen, even if you report to the Zhengzhou Mansion, this king can forgive you. But you haven't even done this, what does this king want you to do, and what does the court want you to do? ”
"Say to yourselves, 'What shall this king do with you?' Especially you, Lord Mischigan. This king let you go last time, but he didn't expect that instead of repenting, you would help someone Chen to commit such a heinous crime. If this king spares you again, where is it worthy of the people of Mizhou? ”
Just when Huang Qiong was about to have a seizure, Liu Hu hurriedly walked in. After attaching himself to Huang Qiong and saying a word, Huang Qiong could only endure it no matter how angry he was. raised his head and looked at it coldly, and the Mizhou official in front of him said coldly: "Come on, take off the official uniform of this Mazhou judge." When the king returned to Beijing, he and that Chen were in a prisoner car. ”
The rest of the officials were fined for one year to compensate the people of Zhengzhou. If something like this happens again, even if this king returns to the capital, he will punish you with a thousand knives. Now go back to your appointment, and think carefully about how to cooperate with Jian Yong and how to compensate the people of Mizhou. ”
When the officials heard that their official positions had finally been saved, they breathed a sigh of relief and ran out. Huang Qiong pinched the bridge of her nose a little tiredly, and asked Liu Hu to invite the people who were waiting outside in. And the person waiting outside at this time was a lieutenant envoy who rushed from Beijing to deliver the decree.
After Liu Hu told himself, the eunuch who rushed over from Beijing was waiting outside the door at this time. Huang Qiong knew that the holy decree that should have allowed her to return to Beijing had arrived. Sure enough, in this unexpected holy decree, apart from the dry, Huang Qiong immediately arranged the follow-up aftermath of Zhengzhou, and returned to Beijing with King Jing's family three days later.
Close the decree in your hand, and let the eunuch be sent to rest. Huang Qiong turned around, looked at Su Jin and Jian Yong, who were in a somewhat depressed mood after hearing the holy decree of his return to Beijing, patted them on the shoulder and said, "What this king should have done for you, it has been done." What should not have been done for you, this king has done. What happens in Zhengzhou is up to the two of you. ”
"There is no such thing as a feast, and you don't have to be so frustrated. And you can rest assured, even if this king unloads the errand of this Zhengzhou disposal envoy, this Zhengzhou matter will definitely not sit idly by. Remember, even if the king returns to the capital, he will always keep an eye on you. ”
After roughly calming the two people, Huang Qiong didn't continue to say anything. At this point, he felt that it was useless to talk too much. patted the two of them on the shoulder, but only said to take care for a long time. He walked out of the Zhengzhou Mansion, turned over his horse and looked back at the prefect's yamen. He never looked back, looking at Su Jin and Jian Yong, who were sent out of the mansion.
Huang Qiong, who returned to Qincha Xingyuan in King Jing's Mansion, was somewhat depressed, and ordered everyone to start packing their luggage immediately, and after sending Liu Hu to accompany his wife and children, he turned around and returned to his study. I opened a book of excerpts and wanted to write a fold, but I didn't write for a long time.
Seeing that the situation in Zhengzhou is stabilizing day by day, with Zhengzhou's geographical advantages, as long as it is hard to operate for two or three years, it is a matter of time before the vitality is restored. But at this juncture, he was going to be transferred back to the capital. Although Gao Wuyong came to Zhengzhou last time, he was already mentally prepared to return to Beijing.
But Huang Qiong, who still wants to stay in Zhengzhou for another two years, is really a little strange if she is not depressed. Thinking of the ups and downs she has experienced during this period of time since she entered Zhengzhou, Huang Qiong couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in her heart. This trip to Zhengzhou made Huang Qiong feel like she was in a densely woven spider web.
If you want to really do something for the people, you have to find a way to move away from the countless stumbling blocks around you. Not only do you have to face the countless swords and swords on the bright side, but you also have to spend more effort to deal with those stumbling blocks hidden in the shadows. Even many times, it is necessary to trade with a conscience. The aftermath of Zhengzhou in the past few months has made Huang Qiong feel that she is more than five years old.
Just when Huang Qiong had mixed feelings in her heart, Lin Hanyan came to his study with flowers. As soon as she entered the door, Huahua's small body knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Huang Qiong desperately. Seeing the posture of the flowers, I was afraid that this child would make a bad move. Huang Qiong hurriedly stepped forward and held the child in her arms.
After calming the somewhat excited flowers, Huang Qiong raised her head and looked at Lin Hanyan with an inexplicable expression. And Lin Hanyan looked at Huang Qiong's gaze, sighed slightly, and said, "Liu Hu, is it a woman who came back from outside today?" That woman is the mother of the flower. Today, I have people take flowers to the street and tear a few feet of cloth to make some clothes for her. ”
But he didn't expect that soon after going out, he saw Liu Hu leading someone to escort a woman and rush back from outside the city. After Hua Hua returned, I learned that the person who was arrested was Hua Hua's mother. I asked Liu Hu just now, that woman is the main culprit in this Mizhou case. You've made up your mind, what will that woman do. ”
"Although the woman said that she was sorry for the flowers, she was the mother of the flowers after all. Hua overheard my conversation with Liu Hu and wanted to come to you like crazy. Master, I know that the people who can make you decide to kill are the ones who have unforgivable sins. Can you look at the face of the flower and leave that woman with a life? Anyway, she is also the mother of the flowers. ”
As soon as Lin Hanyan's words fell, the flowers in Huang Qiong's arms were unusually beautiful, but now they looked at Huang Qiong with big eyes full of tears, and said cautiously: "Daddy, the flowers know that she is a bad person, and she has done a lot, a lot, sorry for the bad things of the villagers." But no matter what she says, she is also the mother of flowers. ”
"Flowers, in the future, I will be filial to my mother and father. Hua Hua can wash clothes, herd sheep, and practice martial arts with Duan Niangniang, and can protect her mother and father in the future. Can the flower beg her father and spare her life. Don't let the younger brother she gave birth to become a child who doesn't have a father and mother like a flower. ”
Since deciding to adopt this child, Huang Qiong has always asked the child to call him Daddy. Although Lin Hanyan initially disagreed because he was afraid of exposing the relationship between the two people. But at the insistence of the equally stubborn Huang Qiong, in the end, Lin Hanyan chose to compromise. So when facing Huang Qiong alone, Hua still called him daddy.
Listen to this poor child, immature fairy tales. Especially when there is no child in the last sentence that her father wants, Huang Qiong's heart is as uncomfortable as a knife cut. This sensible child is distressed, at an age when she should have been carefree, she has really endured too much, too much, things that she should not have endured at her age.
