Chapter 299: Why bother?

Huang Qiong made such a gesture, even if he knew that the king of England said so. But how dare these officials take it seriously? hurriedly said in unison: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's a matter of course to cooperate with the British King, and it is the duty of the lower officials, how can you forgive me for saying this?" One of these officials counted one, and the answers were all very happy. I'm afraid that the answer will be slow, and I will become a rebel.

looked at the officials in front of them who said they didn't dare to do so while secretly wiping their sweat. Huang Qiong didn't pay attention to them, but called the trust around him to Zhengzhou Mansion and Zhengzhou Tongzhi over and said, "These two, you must be all strangers. One is the new prefect of Zhengzhou, and the other is also counted as your old colleagues. ”

"Although the officials have not yet been gathered, since the pacification envoy of Henan Road is also there, and the deputy envoy of the Transport Department is also there, this king will not interfere in the aftermath of Zhengzhou Mansion. Discuss it in a moment, and bring out a note for the king. It's just that the king's ugly words are still said in front first, if someone takes the opportunity to make a fortune, don't say that this king doesn't give any affection. ”

"When the whole family goes to Guazhou to gnaw sand, don't regret it. However, this king also knows that he is seeking officials for thousands of miles just for food and clothing. You may not take a word or two to the ugly words that have been said in front of you. It's better to give you a long memory. With that, Huang Qiong waved her hand and took the lead out of the Zhengzhou Mansion.

At this time, outside the yamen of the Zhengzhou prefect, I don't know when, it was already surrounded by a sea of people. That posture seemed to be as if all the people in Zhengzhou were pouring over. The civil and military officials who participated in the rebellion, led by the Zhengzhou prefect and the Zhengzhou soldiers and horses, knelt in two rows along the street outside the prefect's yamen. Behind each of them, there was a sergeant of the cavalry battalion who temporarily served as a sword and axeman.

Seeing this scene, the new pacifier. After guessing Huang Qiong's thoughts, he couldn't care about his previous fears, and walked up to Huang Qiong in a few steps and said, "Lord Wang, what are you going to do here?" According to the "Great Qi Law", the killing of civil and military officials is to ask for a decree. Even if they commit the crime of treason, they should be handed over to the three divisions for trial before they can be sentenced. ”

"How do you hear this, that this lord has the idea of interceding for them? Do you know what it means to do extraordinary things in extraordinary times? Before the king came, his father specially granted him the right to make decisions on the spot. So don't say that you don't need to ask for a request to kill these people, but if you want to borrow your head for a use, there's no problem. ”

"Besides, don't you think borrowing the heads of these people will protect the heads of more of your colleagues?" Huang Qiong was not angry at the words of the new acting Henan Road pacification envoy. Even when he said this, the smile on his face did not lose half a point. It's just that the smile on his face at this time, in the eyes of everyone, has a creepy feeling.

Seeing that the British king was so tough, the new pacifier weighed his head. Especially when he saw the expressions on his faces after the colleagues behind him learned that the British king was going to kill, he immediately closed his mouth very smartly.

In fact, this new appeasement envoy's plea is just a gesture. After all, he is now the acting pacification envoy of Henan Road, which is equivalent to the acting pacification envoy. Logically speaking, these people were all his subordinates before the imperial court dismissed the officials. In public and private, he has no reason not to plead.

Compared to the British king's killing of these people, is it against the law. What he is more worried about is that once these people are escorted to Beijing, they will bite indiscriminately. Although he was just a student before, there was nothing to be afraid of them biting. But his current subordinates may not have this confidence. If he really bites too much, what else can he, the acting pacification envoy, do?

It is much better for these people to be killed at this time than to bite indiscriminately in order to survive after being sent to the capital. These people are all old fritters in Henan officialdom, if there is no involvement in this up and down, is it possible? If they are really as clear as water, who will come out to be this official?

In all dynasties, no emperor would be merciful in dealing with rebellion. Once these people are escorted to Beijing, I am afraid that those who will be implicated will not be the people who were before. I'm just acting now, and I'm still far from being able to turn positive. If you have just taken office and face no one to use your subordinates, wouldn't it be a big joke?

He is even more clear about the reasons why the original colleagues behind him put on such a posture in the King of England, and almost all of them are happy. I'm afraid that none of these people are clean under their buttocks, and they are all worried that they will also be implicated. Now that the King of England has taken the initiative to solve this problem for them, how can they not be happy.

understands the dirty thoughts of his subordinates, and he wants to be angry but doesn't dare to do it. Although my heart is as greasy as eating a fly, there is no way, I have to endure it. Even on the surface, what should be done is still the same. Even if you can only do it for the duplicitous guys behind you, you have to do it hard.

He shut up here, since he was captured in the Tiger Prison, he has been asking to see Huang Qiong, but he has never seen even a shadow. Now I finally see this British king's firewood and horses. At this time, he was desperately trying to break free from the suppression of the two axe hands behind him. While shouting desperately: "The King of England, the King of England, I am your cousin, the earl of the Eight Classics, you can't kill me." ”

It's just that his shouting not only got Huang Qiong a contemptuous glance, but also didn't get anything. On the contrary, he was surrounded by a knife and axe hand who was a little annoyed by his noise, and directly found a rag to block his mouth. Although he is still struggling desperately, he is much cleaner.

Regarding his cousin's shouting, Huang Qiong didn't take it seriously at all. Facing that because the time had come, Deputy Envoy Guo, who stepped forward to ask for instructions, nodded slightly. With Huang Qiong's head, the yamen of the Zhengzhou prefect was once again crowded before. More than 100 officials, people, and even scholars who participated in the rebellion fell to the ground.

After the execution, Huang Qiong turned to the officials who were trembling with fright and said, "What should be shown to you, let you all see it." What should not be shown to you, this king has also shown you. What to do in the future, you should have points in your hearts now. If anyone is trying to do dirty things, let alone that the king sent you to be their companion. ”

"If this king dares to kill an earl and a prefect of Zhengzhou today, he may not dare to kill you pacification envoys and transit envoys. The people are fat and the people are anointed, and it will be up to this king to see what you do. This king does not want you to end up tomorrow in the same fate as they do today. Good for yourself, good for yourself, good for yourself. ”

After that, Huang Qiong ignored these officials, let alone glanced towards the execution ground. took the reins of the horse led by Liu Hu, turned over and left quickly after getting on the horse. Leaving behind a group of terrified officials, there staring wide-eyed. They are indeed looking forward to the death of these people, but this scene is still a bit too much for them as civil officials.

When the king of England was leaving, the three were good at themselves. And although there was a faint smile on his face, his eyes were cold and abnormal, which made these people's hearts twitch for a while. There were a few timid ones, and they were even directly frightened by the scene in front of them. Among them, the prefect of Bianzhou, there were unknown water stains on his crotch at this time.

This is not a few officials, not a dozen. Instead, there are hundreds of civil and military officials, including people, scholars, and officials, and they can be killed in one go. Even the chief catcher of Zhengzhou Prefecture, together with most of the catchers, did not let go. The blood and human heads all over the street made these officials look at each other, and they couldn't give up.

It turned out that almost all the officials of the Zhengzhou Mansion and the Zhengzhou Soldiers and Horses were stewed with a spoonful. Even those who are looking forward to the death of these people will not be afraid of it at all. At this scene in front of him, the officials present were all frightened, for fear that one day this master would find his own fault, and he would become the one that those people pointed out to him.

Huang Qiong, who galloped back to King Jing's mansion for a while, ignored what these officials thought. Huang Qiong, who returned to King Jing's Mansion, just stood quietly in the study, not knowing what she was thinking. In fact, Huang Qiong didn't know that killing these officials was a big taboo. Even he could imagine that those attacks on him could bury him.

It has been a hundred years since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, and it has also killed many officials who committed crimes. But like he killed so many people in one go without being interrogated by the three divisions, he was still the only one. Huang Qiong also knew that even if these officials had a thousand reasons to die, these people should not kill themselves. By doing so, it can be said that he has pushed himself into the opposite side of the entire civilian-bureaucratic clique.

But Huang Qiong knew that there was really no way to do it now. Killed dozens of evil slaves in King Jing's Mansion before, and the officials of Zhengzhou Mansion and arrested them quickly, but not only did they not stop the rumors in Zhengzhou Mansion, but even these rumors became more and more intense. Now it is rumored throughout Zhengzhou Mansion that he has delayed disposing of the reverse property of King Jing's Mansion in order to occupy these properties.

Some people who don't know the truth have knelt outside King Jing's Mansion many times, hoping that he can return the family property that was occupied by King Jing's Mansion. Although Deputy Envoy Guo has arranged for someone to investigate, where did these rumors come from. can be caught and caught, all of them are some people who have been fooled. None of the real people behind the scenes have been able to catch it.

After killing chickens and monkeys before and not playing the role he expected, Huang Qiong had no choice but to take this method. Not only to deter those behind it, but also to those who tried to put their hands in the water. and those officials, big and small, who want to take the opportunity to make a fortune. Presumably, these heads of sufficient weight should make some heads that are about to move sober up a little.

It's just that I did this, can I really suppress those behind the scenes? Huang Qiong is also in her heart, and she doesn't have much bottom. He just stood by the window, looking at the small courtyard where he temporarily lived in King Jing's Mansion, and stood until dark. And Liu Hu, who was guarding outside Huang Qiong's door, looked at Huang Qiong who was as straight as a pine tree and had been standing for most of the day.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, it was already dinner time, and the King of England was still standing there quietly. That is, there was no passing of dinner, and there was no movement. Liu Hu, who really couldn't help it, was about to push the door in and persuade him. saw Princess Jing with her sister-in-law and a few maids coming to this courtyard with dinner.

Seeing Liu Hu, Princess Jing didn't say anything. just took the people behind him and entered Huang Qiong's study. lit the candles in the study, instructed the maid to put the dishes on the cloth, and repelled the others except for Liu Hu's sister-in-law. Princess Jing walked behind Huang Qiong and sighed softly: "Ninth brother, why do you bother yourself so much?" ”

"Let's not talk about it, Emperor Taizu formulated the ancestral system that did not allow the slaughter of civil officials. This move by you alone has directly pushed the entire civil service system to the opposite side of you. In doing so, you have broken an unspoken rule of the entire officialdom at the moment, and you are making enemies for yourself. ”
