Chapter 108: People and God are angry
Fan Zhi's face turned pale, and he knelt down tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the big farmer ordered blood to spew people, and the old minister was wronged!" ”
The hall was so quiet that you could hear the needles falling, and only Fan Ji's hysteria could be heard.
With this reaction, basically no one doubted Tang Qi's words.
It's just a self-confession!
Gongsun Cheng frowned fiercely.
What are the people at the bottom doing, if they want to attack Tang Qi, can't they find an innocent point?
And that Tang Qi, who seems to be safe and doesn't understand anything, seems to be a young man who only knows how to make money.
But unknowingly, he investigated all these situations clearly!
So much so that the other officials of the Imperial History Stage, who also spoke out, quietly retreated again.
Whose ass is absolutely clean when he is an official in the court?
If you continue to entangle, what will you do if you follow in the footsteps of Liang Lun and Fan Ji!
Suddenly, a sneer rang out.
"Da Nong Ling keeps accusing Liang Lun of spying on officials, but what about Da Nong Ling himself? How do you know that Fan Zhongcheng's family runs an oil shop in the West Market, could it be that they are also being monitored?! ”
Fan Ji's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw: "That's right, how did the Great Agricultural Order know!" ”
Tang Qi looked sideways and saw Chang'an Lingyi silently retreating from the civilian train, and retired successfully.
This cool official does have two hits.
Liu Che was also a little curious: "Yes, sir, how did you learn that Fan Yu's officials and businessmen colluded to kill the people?" ”
"Your Majesty!"
Fan Zhi's face changed greatly.
The emperor's words sounded like he was asking Tang Qi, but they were actually characterizing his crimes!
Even if it may cause the Son of Heaven to be dissatisfied with Tang Qi, but as for him, he will definitely not be able to escape from prison!
"There is evidence, of course." How could Tang Qi make such a low-level mistake, "If Your Majesty allows it, the minister will let people bring the witnesses." ”
"And witnesses?" Liu Che really aroused his interest, "Are you waiting outside the palace?" ”
Tang Qi shook his head: "No, they are resting temporarily in the minister's mansion." ”
The meaning is very clear, although I caught Fan Zhi's handle, but everyone really didn't plan to make such a big fuss.
Maybe it was reported to the emperor in private, and it was done quietly.
"Chuntuo, go to Mr.'s mansion!" Liu Che waved his hand with great interest.
Immediately, several Lang officials followed Chuntuo out of Weiyang Palace and went straight to the Marquis of Anding's Mansion.
The hall was quiet, and no one spoke for a while.
Fan Ji even collapsed directly to the ground, desperate.
A good siege of Tang Qi, but in a blink of an eye, the situation turned around, and instead it became Tang Qi's behavior of finding out the "corrupt officials and corrupt officials" one by one.
An hour passed, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall.
Seven or eight old men who had been dressed in white followed behind the officials, trembling into the main hall, and knelt on the ground as they had been taught.
"The grass people wait to see Your Majesty!"
Chun Tuo reported: "Your Majesty, these old people are the witnesses mentioned by the Great Agricultural Order. ”
"Seniors, please!" Liu Che hurriedly stood up, "Come on, show the elders!" ”
The Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and the social status of the elderly was extremely high.
When the Son of Heaven sees the elderly, he must also give him a certain amount of respect.
And if there are centenarians under the rule of officials, it can be regarded as a political achievement!
"A few old people, Mr. Tang said, are you willing to identify an oil shop in the West Market, which is Fan Zheng's business?"
"This ......"
The old man in the lead glanced at Fan Ji, who was still kneeling, and his face showed some fear.
Liu Che saw it and comforted: "The old man doesn't have to be afraid, just tell the truth, everything is up to you." ”
As soon as these words came out, several old people immediately turned red-eyed.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is in charge of the grass people!"
"The grass people and the other family were so miserable by this Fan adult's relatives!"
"My poor son and daughter-in-law!"
The screams were so miserable that they brought tears to their eyes.
Liu Che endured his anger: "Don't be sad, old man, tell me what happened, I will definitely make the decision for you!" ”
The old people barely stopped crying, and one by one they recounted what happened to them.
"Your Majesty, the grass people's family used to farm, and there are more than a dozen acres of thin fields in the suburbs of Chang'an County, and they also raised some pigs and sheep for their own families to eat."
"This year's harvest in the field is not good, so the son of the grass farmer thinks that he should just kill some pigs and sheep to refine some oil, and go to the city to sell it, so that he can exchange some silk cloth for taxes."
"I went to three oil shops, and they all said that they could only buy it for 100 yuan, which is too low! The son of the grass farmer thought that it would be better to simply set up a stall in the West Market to sell oil, and sell it at the market price of 300 Wen, so that he could earn some money back. Anyway, there is not much oil that can be sold at home, so as not to rob the business of the old man of the big oil shop. ”
"I didn't expect it, those bullies who killed a thousand knives! I found out that the son of the grass man sold oil directly in the West Market and did not sell it to them, so he directly sent someone to smash my stall, snatched the oil and meat, and broke my son's leg, saying that if he dared to sell oil selfishly, he would die! ”
"He also threatened the grass people that their relatives of the owner are the big officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory in the middle of the court, and if they dare to report to the official, they will make our family unable to eat and walk around!"
"Your Majesty, the grass people are just such a single seedling, what can we do with this year's autumn harvest!"
There was an uproar.
Liu Che was even more murderous.
This is Chang'an City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is such a cruelty to the people!
But that's not all.
Probably finally mustered up the courage, and the other old people also cried and cried out for injustice.
"Your Majesty, the sons and daughters-in-law of the grass people are also miserable! They just lived closest to Zhen Kee's oil shop, but they took a long detour to the newly opened Dahan Department Store to buy oil, and they were broken by the guys at Zhen Kee Oil Shop. If you dare to eat inside and out, it's not as simple as breaking your legs! ”
"Your Majesty, what kind of reason do you say this, there is such a strong buy and sell! The grass people are already seventy or eighty years old, and the family's livelihood depends on their sons and daughters-in-law, and there is a grandson who has just been weaned, what will the family do in the future! ”
"There are also grass people, the eldest son of the grass people is young and vigorous, and he can't see Zhen Ji oil shop buying and selling, so he gathered a few victims to go to the government to report to the official. But, but it's been four or five days, and they don't see anyone alive or dead, and they don't see the corpse, and that's a few good young men, Your Majesty! ”
"Your Majesty......"
The cries of seven or eight old men resounded throughout the hall, crying blood every word, all of them accusing of being persecuted by Zhen Ji Oil Shop.
Fan Zhi was completely paralyzed to the ground, and he didn't even dare to shout for mercy.
And the colleagues who had been with him just now who were interested in crusading against Tang Qi also cast disgusted and resentful glances at him at this time.
After the old people's accusations were completed, Tang Qi said lightly: "These are all saved by chance, and they all bought oil in Dahan Department Store, and then they were blocked." If it weren't for the guys from Dahan Department Store who happened to pass by, those bastards would probably not even let the old man go. ”
"And among these people, each of them has been verbally threatened by Zhen Ji Oil Shop, and they all use the backstage of the senior official of Yushitai as an excuse to threaten them to shut up."
