Chapter 288: Very sober
Looking at Huang Qiong, who was silent, the deputy envoy Guo said cautiously: "Lord Wang, the identity of these stewards has been found out at the first time. Most of these people are not good citizens, but Jiangyang thieves. When King Jing first became a vassal, he was recommended to King Jing by others. β
"As for who that referrer is? Except for the second steward recommended by the prince to King Jing, as well as the people recommended by King Ji and King Teng, who confessed more happily, the rest of the people refused to spit no matter how they were tortured. Especially the big steward, it's not an ordinary stiffness. The other things were confessed very happily, but this recommender refused to say anything about it. β
Hearing this, Huang Qiong somewhat understood what her second brother was planning at that time. The chief steward didn't need to ask anything, it must have been recommended by that person. Huang Qiong didn't believe it, with the methods of his second brother, what kind of background were these people who were recommended, how could he not find out?
The reason why he still uses these people is that at least at the beginning, what he did was to use these people to make money for him by any means. Once the incident happened, he took these out to the top tank. Anyway, these people don't care how much money and goods they use his identity to make. When needed, just find an excuse to hand over those people, and those people's belongings will become his Jingwangfu.
And once the emperor investigates it, he can say that he was recommended by his brother, and it is difficult for him to refuse. I didn't expect that the people recommended by my brothers would be such greedy people. If you are unable to control these recommended arrogant soldiers, you can put all the charges on your brothers.
In this way, almost all the brothers are involved. As for himself, he is at most guilty of ineffective control. Even the charges of lax control can be pushed out lightly. Even if his own emperor Lao Tzu is angry, I am afraid that he will have to be jealous in the pursuit of it. This is a triple win, which is really a good scheming and a good means.
It is no wonder that although the crown prince is the prince of a country, he occupies a geographical advantage in the center. But in the battle with his own biological brother, he was repeatedly at a disadvantage. As far as the prince's methods are concerned, compared with his second brother, he has become a mentally retarded person. Of course, if that didn't happen, that's the final script for things to be.
It's a pity that although his second brother tried his best of scheming, he finally ended up making a wedding dress for others. The excuse he used to evade the emperor's pursuit ended up being a noose around his own neck. These people are divided and disintegrated by others, and they are eventually used against themselves.
But no matter who it is, these people are the ones who recommend them. At a time when the people's grievances in Zhengzhou are boiling and they are in urgent need of appeasement, these people have given themselves a means to appease the people. Since these people regard the people of Zhengzhou as dogs, they will use their heads to stabilize the current chaotic situation in Zhengzhou.
Although he is not the kind of person who kills extravagantly, if these people don't kill, how can they face the people of Zhengzhou who are so miserable and ravaged by them? If you don't kill, how can you, the Zhengzhou disposal envoy, face people like Liu Hu, who were ruined by them? If we don't kill them, how can we stabilize the situation in Zhengzhou in the shortest possible time.
The most important thing is that if these people don't kill, will they still be left to harm the people in other places? What's more, if these people are kept, how can they warn some people who want to put their hands in at this time? Huang Qiong dared to conclude that behind the current chaos in Zhengzhou, there must be more than one camel jumping around in this pool of troubled waters.
With the help of these people's heads, even if you can't draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, at least you can stop the boiling. It can also warn some people not to stretch their hands out too long. Sometimes, killing a group of people saves more people. The string of cold jade prayer beads was in Huang Qiong's hand at the moment, so he was very sober now.
Thinking of this, Huang Qiong shook her head and sighed, then said to the deputy envoy Guo: "If you are carrying it to death, you don't need to ask for a confession." Ming'er, take the stewards of King Jing's Mansion who have confessed, along with their dogs, to the gate of the prefect's yamen to correct the law on the spot. However, before the execution, they were shut up, and the king did not want to hear anything from their mouths that they should not hear. β
Just when Deputy Envoy Guo was about to turn around and prepare to implement tomorrow's affairs. But Huang Qiong shouted: "Wait, there are 7,000 soldiers in the Xiaocai battalion you brought to Zhengzhou this time, and this king will give you an edict." From the confiscated property of the Zhengzhou government officials, rewards were issued according to the standards of the main force of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion. β
"All the casualties in the capture of Zhengzhou, including the soldiers who died in the garrison of Jingwangfu, will be distributed according to the standard of soldiers in the Tiger Prison Pass. The criteria for the distribution of rewards should be announced on a list in the barracks. Tell the manager that if they dare to covet a big son among them, this king will kill them alive in front of the 7,000 soldiers of this cavalry battalion. β
"As for the rest of your possessions, you are to be in your own hands. Without the king's decree, not a penny shall be used. Since this money and goods are the people's fat and ointment of the people of Zhengzhou, this king categorically cannot let them fall into the pockets of private individuals. As for King Jing's Mansion, the silver treasury was sealed first, and all the property was registered, but how to dispose of it still had to wait for the holy decree. β
Hearing Huang Qiong's order, Deputy Envoy Guo hesitated and said, "Lord Wang, other officials don't care. But the same person in Zhengzhou Mansion only found more than 50 yuan of money at home, and there were no land deeds and antiques. If this little property of his family is confiscated, the old and young of his family will go hungry. β
"He had only one wife, one concubine, two children, and two old servants in their fifties. If their house is also copied, I am afraid that this family will become starving. Lord Wang, the civil officials of our Great Qi Dynasty have seen a lot in the end. But such a poor official from the fourth grade, it is the first time I have seen the last general. β
"Although this person was appointed by King Jing as the acting prefect of Zhengzhou when King Jing was in turmoil. But when the army arrived in Zhengzhou, it was he who came forward to persuade the defenders to give up resistance and surrender to Chengcheng, so as to avoid the loss of life. Lord Wang, you also know that these military attaches in the Xiao Cavalry Battalion are all fought by swords and swords. If we go to the battlefield and fight the enemy, we have never been ambiguous. β
"But this governance place, especially the current chaos in Zhengzhou, is not that material at all. Originally, after the general recaptured Zhengzhou, he wanted him to help deal with civil affairs. But he brought his own shackles, saying that as a fellow acquaintance of Zhengzhou, he failed to stop the Zhengzhou officials from rebelling against the Holy Grace, and he accepted the false order of the traitor to the king for disloyalty. β
As a fellow acquaintance of Zhengzhou, when there was a rebellion, he failed to warn the court in advance, and he was even guilty of dereliction of duty. He is now a disloyal minister, and he is no longer on the side of the court who may be a shepherd. However, when this person was escorted to the prison, unlike other officials who were splashed with dirty water and threw rotten vegetable leaves, a large number of people stopped the prisoner's car to intercede for him. β
If he hadn't personally intervened to persuade the people to disperse, there would have been almost a great chaos. To tell the truth, the last general actually looks down on this group of civil officials who are full of benevolence and morality, and who are actually more fierce than anyone else when they make money. But this person's backbone, the last general is the first time to see it. At the end of today, I will show this face, can I ask the prince for a favor, don't copy this person's home first. β
Regarding the deputy envoy Guo's plea, Huang Qiong did not immediately reply to him. But after pondering for a long time, he smiled faintly: "Since you are the deputy commander of the cavalry battalion, and plead for him as a fellow knowledge, this face is still to be given by this king." But what to do with him, let's wait for this king to meet later. β
"In this way, you take him to bathe and change clothes first, and then find him a room in this Zhengzhou mansion, rest for a good night, and recover his spirits. When Ming'er killed those stewards, and you brought him over to watch the punishment, you brought him to this king. As for the rest, let it be said when the king has seen this man, and as for his possessions, let it go first. β
Originally, Huang Qiong wanted to meet this official who was still in the rotten pond of Zhengzhou, and he could still get out of the mud without staining. But after thinking about it, he thought it would be better to let it go first. I need some time now to adjust my mentality, and some things need to be pondered.
Hearing Huang Qiong say this, Deputy Envoy Guo was stunned for a moment, and then immediately nodded clearly. After he turned around and left to arrange, Huang Qiong turned his gaze back to the files on the bookcase, picked them up and looked at them carefully. It's just that the things recorded in these files make Huang Qiong more and more upset the more she looks at it. After only seeing half of it, Huang Qiong didn't want to watch it anymore.
Closing the file in her hand, Huang Qiong stood up, pushed open the door and walked out. What he needed now was to calm his somewhat hot head. Otherwise, he really didn't know if he could control the idea of killing in Zhengzhou after reading those files. The cold jade rosary in his hand, the coolness that emanated, could no longer make him completely eliminate the killing intent in his heart.
Although Huang Qiong also knew that killing these officials would inevitably offend the intertwined forces behind them. The party is the same and the party fights against each other, and these civil officials who hold the pen and stick never use a knife to kill people. A pen and a mouth are enough to make yourself unable to turn over in this life.
Besides, to kill these people is to ask for a decree. Without the triage of the three law divisions, he, the Zhengzhou disposal envoy, has no power to deal with these people. Even if he has the Shang Fang Sword in his hand that the emperor has given him officials below the third grade, he can cut first and then play, I am afraid that he does not have that much power. Among them, there are four or five grades, and there are seven or eight officials from Jinshi and the first rank.
There is also a royal prince, his cousin, the son of Princess Xin Cai. Among the remaining officials, among the military attachΓ©s, there may not be no children of the family. Civil officials are also elected officials. The power of the DPRK and China may not be very great, but the background behind these people is not necessarily worse than that of those officials who are Jinshi and first.
If some things are really done, they will push themselves into the opposite side of the entire civil service in disguise. But the shocking things on the dossier made him feel murderous in his heart, and since he opened the dossier, he has only seen it rise, and none of it has fallen. Even if they knew it, these officials themselves could not be killed.
Huang Qiong asked herself, she is not a person who kills extravagantly. Together, counting those who were coerced together, the Yamen's military preparation in Zhengzhou, Zhengzhou Dushui Tongzhi, Zhengzhou scholars, as well as a group of rebellious scholars and scholars, as well as the prisoners of Guozijian, and even the wealthy families in Zhengzhou, add up to more than 100 people.
If you really go on a killing spree, then you'll really have a lot of heads. But these people are not killed, judging from the current situation, not only is it not enough to anger the people, but it is even difficult to suppress the boiling public opinion in Zhengzhou. Now in the muddy waters of Zhengzhou, it is not a black hand that is stirring. If they take advantage of this resentment, they will make something for themselves.
I'm afraid that I will really have a big deal this time, you must know that in this half a day, the main force of the rebels will be escorted back to Zhengzhou. These people, even if they are illiterate, have more or less undergone some training. If there is a real rebellion, it will not only be Zhengzhou that will be eroded.
