Chapter 254: Corruption Case

Today's court meeting has decided on two things, one is the policy of relocating people, and the other is the issue of the salary of martyrs.

Regarding the relocation of the people, Xiao Yuan ordered Liu Yuzhi to sort out a perfect policy as soon as possible, and then handed it over to him for review, and finally gave instructions.

After Xiao Yuan made a decision, he did not pause for a moment, and directly issued an edict from the king, and the treasury paid for it, ordering the county officials to verify the local household registration, check the military registration, and distribute them one by one.

This matter was carried out as soon as possible under the supreme order, and after receiving the royal order, the local officials did not dare to slack off, and also regarded it as the first priority.

Qin State, Fuling County, Yunyang County.

At this time, it has been a while since Xiao Yuan issued the royal decree, and the royal court has already issued funds, and because of the first battle of Ningyang, most of the soldiers came from Fuling, so the allocation here is the largest.

In the treasury of the county government, looking at the boxes of white silver, the county commander Wei Zhong's eyes shrank, and he couldn't help but bend down and grab a handful, looking at the silver taels in his hand, he muttered: "The gold and silver here are enough to be glorious and rich for a lifetime, with the wealth of this official, when will I be able to earn this money......

In the treasury, he also followed Yunyang County Cheng, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but remind: "Big ...... My lord. ”

Wei Zhong came back to his senses, threw the silver back, then pointed to the row of boxes in the treasury, and chuckled, "Lord Chen, have you ever seen so much gold and silver?" ”

When the county man heard this, he stammered: "I don't know...... I don't know what adults mean......"

Wei Zhong glanced at him and said, "So much silver, given to the dead?" Isn't it too wasteful, if it can be divided, it doesn't matter if this small county order is done or not. ”

He is a parent in a place, and he actually said such words, and the county was shocked when he heard this, and then he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and said in a trembling voice: "But my lord, this is ...... This is the imperial court's allocation of silver, if it is not distributed truthfully, we will wait, we will wait for fear that people's heads will not be guaranteed. ”

"Huh." Wei Zhong smiled and said with a smile: "The entire Yunyang is the land under the jurisdiction of this county, and if the county says that it has been issued, it will be issued, who can know?" The official documents here can also make a big fuss. ”

"This ......" Xian Cheng subconsciously looked at the silver in the box, slid his Adam's apple again, and swallowed his saliva.

A few days later, Yunyang County Government.

And the people gathered to complain.

Almost all of the people who came were old, weak, women and children.

On the position of the county order directly above, Wei Zhong was dressed in an official uniform, slapped the table in front of him heavily, and shouted:

"Dare to distract the people! When you see this county, don't kneel down! ”

He drank violently, and the people in the hall suddenly trembled with fright, and then they all knelt on the ground, and an old peasant was at the front of the crowd, and after kneeling on the ground, he said in a trembling old voice:

"The lord of Qiyu County, the grass people, etc. are all Wangjiazhuang people's clans, I heard that there is a royal order on the king, and the soldiers who died in the Qin army are all settled, and my son, in Ningyang a year ago, died on the battlefield, leaving the old man alone, the old man knows very well, my son is sacrificed for the country, but now, the king has an order, why don't you see my son's military salary for a long time......"

This is an old farmer, his son died in battle, the family has no pillars, if there is no martyr funding, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive, and as soon as he finished speaking, a group of people kneeling behind him also began to speak.

Some have husbands who have died in battle, leaving orphans and widows, while others have sons who have died in battle, leaving their old mothers alone......

People cried one after another, Wei Zhong's face became a little ugly, he didn't expect that these people would dare to gather to complain, he was about to say something, but at this time, the leading old farmer took out something from his arms, held it in both hands and said: "If the county lord doesn't believe it, this is my son's military card." ”

"What!?" When Wei Zhong heard this, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly commanded the county government guards and said, "Take it to me." ”

The guard received the order, immediately took the military card, and respectfully put it on the table.

Wei Zhong picked it up, and after looking at it carefully, he determined that this was the Qin Junbu Army military card, but soon, he slapped the military card on the table, and said sharply: "This military card is fake!" Dare to make a fool of the people! How dare you fool this official! Someone's coming! Grab me! Go to death row! ”

"No!" He is the county commander, the highest magistrate of a county, and when he gives an order, the guards immediately start to act.

The old peasant was stunned all of a sudden, and the kneeling crowd also panicked, and began to cry loudly:

"The county lord spares his life! I'm not guilty......"

"Please be gracious to the county lord......"

But Wei Zhong is a thief with a weak heart, where would he listen to this, he just found a reason and put them all in prison.

After this incident, he also found the county and couldn't help complaining: "How can there still be military cards left behind by the people!" What are you going to do! ”

"This, this...... The lower officials don't know......" The county Cheng said urgently, and at the same time, he was also worried in his heart, and he regretted that he was in the same stream with Wei Zhong.

"Check it out! This can't happen again! ”

"Understood, the lower officials understood......" The county Cheng replied again and again, he had already boarded the thief ship, and there was nothing he could do.

Wei Zhong covered the sky in Yunyang County, and with the position of county order, he committed corruption, and he was greedy, and it was the martyrs' salary!

For the sake of a huge amount of gold and silver, he took a risk, and even went to Fuling County Mansion in person as soon as possible to check up and down.

The other villagers in Wangjiazhuang noticed that something was wrong, and immediately decided to go over the county and then go to the county government to complain.

But the county government, has long been dredged up by Wei Zhong, and the officials protect each other, the people have no way to complain, and they can't even see the face of the officials, under duress, finally some young people get together, and after discussion, they decided to go to Qinzhou and sue in front of the king.

As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, at that time, it took a lot of courage, not to mention whether they could get to Qinzhou, even if they arrived, a cloth cloth, if they wanted to see the king, how much luck it would take.

But for this matter, the villagers were indignant, and they did what they said, and began to rush to Qinzhou with dozens of people.

And this matter was quickly discovered by Wei Zhong, hearing the news, he was taken aback at first, and then a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "Quick! Send someone to kill them! These people are unreasonable! ”

He sent killers on his side, and a group of villagers had just arrived in Qinzhou on their front feet, and late that night, they were all cut throats and all the things on their bodies were searched.

Overnight, more than a dozen men died in Qinzhou, and this matter is not insignificant.

You must know that this is the capital of the Qin State, and the news of such a murder spread quickly, and the Wuwei Mansion immediately began to investigate.

And this matter was also mentioned by a minister in the court the next day, Xiao Yuan was furious when he heard it, and immediately pointed his hand and said:

"Immediately send an order to Ye Cheng! Tell him! Within three days, the case must be solved! ”
