Chapter 771: Declaration
"This is the Qincha who assassinated the emperor's special dispatch, and the result of your previous interrogation was beaten back by the emperor, how can the case be easily closed this time?"
After saying this, Chen Xiaoting continued: "Besides, the two of them said that they have nothing to do with other people, so it really doesn't matter?" ”
"Therefore, we have to continue to investigate further and find out the two of them are in the same party!"
Chen Xiaoting's declaration is very in line with Jinyiwei's consistent style.
Originally, everyone was waiting for the case to be closed, but Chen Xiaoting's words shattered everyone's hopes.
Let Cai Shi and the others confess their crimes in court, and then propose to track down their comrades, which can be said to be further stimulated by the wealthy family.
He just wanted to tell these people that he would make a big fuss about Tian Yuanxi's assassination, and it wasn't that they could end it by giving up Cai Shi and the others.
Of course, Chen Xiaoting is going to play a combination today, so the next performance will continue.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the case will be interrogated here for the time being, and when we torture and produce a new confession, a public trial will be held here!"
Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoting ordered the captains: "Bring people back first!" ”
Soon, Cai Shi and the others were dragged down, and a towel was blocked in their mouths.
All the officials sat in place, and the public hall was so quiet that they could hear a needle.
At this moment, Chen Xiaoting suddenly spoke: "Zhao Shijiang, the secretary of the household department, is he available?" ”
Zhao Shijiang was also invited to observe this time, and he was sitting in the corner at the moment, which showed that he was ostracized in Jiangnan.
"I wonder what Master Chen has to teach you?" Zhao Shijiang's words are very vivid, after all, he belongs to the civil service system.
Chen Xiaoting didn't care about this, and said with a smile: "When Chen left Beijing, he heard that there was trouble with the taxation in the Liangjiang area, I wonder if Master Zhang can talk about it?" ”
On this occasion, Zhao Shijiang is reluctant to talk about this matter, because every word he says here may attract hostility towards him personally.
So Zhao Shijiang said vaguely: "I did encounter some trouble, but our Qing Officials Division is already working to solve it!" ”
Chen Xiaoting wanted this sentence, as a half-messenger sent by the emperor, he just took the opportunity to express his thoughts.
I saw Chen Xiaoting stand up and glance at everyone present: "Ladies and gentlemen, the imperial court's wealth is difficult, and taxation is the most important task!" ”
"We, like us, eating the food of the imperial court, should share the worries of the imperial court!"
"Therefore, if you have the heart, you should speak out more about taxation and tell the high-ranking families...... Don't try to fight the court! ”
Chen Xiaoting's words were not polite at all, which was equivalent to pointing out that the officials had something to do with the wealthy families, and at the same time there was a hint of warning.
At this time, Chen Xiaoting was talking to himself, and no one at the scene, including Zhao Shijiang, spoke much.
Pretending to be deaf and dumb is one of the basic skills of these people.
But Chen Xiaoting didn't expect them to express their position, as long as these people listened to his words, it would be equivalent to conveying it to the wealthy people.
So then, he just needs to express his determination to assist in the collection of taxes.
Under the gaze of a group of officials, Chen Xiaoting said in a resolute tone: "We are Jinyiwei, full of food and king, and we should share our worries for the king!" ”
"Lord Zhao, after investigating this case, this official will ask the people of the Jiangnan Thousand Households Office to help you check the taxes everywhere!"
This is the first time that Chen Xiaoting has officially stated that he will intervene in the Jiangnan tax issue.
After getting this statement, even if Zhao Shijiang didn't want to show his head again, he could only say at this time: "Thank you Chen Yanshi!" ”
However, Cui Bangdao, who was sitting in the main seat of the lobby, couldn't stand it, and couldn't help but say, "Lord Chen, the matter of taxation is indeed important, but you can't rush it!" ”
"You must know that the taxation in the first two quarters has provoked a civil uprising, and now the trouble of the Japanese has not been eliminated, everything should be cautious!"
Cui Bangdao's words are worried about the country and the people, and he is completely focused on the overall situation.
"Then dare to ask Master Cui, where is the popular uprising that was stirred up at the beginning?"
But what is more tricky than this question is Chen Xiaoting's next words.
"Master Cui's words are good, and it is indeed extremely bad to provoke a civil uprising, so we have to investigate ......"
"Why did the imperial court collect taxes from the wealthy families and provoke a popular uprising? Is there anyone in this who is making trouble? ”
Of course, there are people who are making trouble, but before they only cared about suppressing the popular uprising, no one looked into this issue.
It can be said that Chen Xiaoting has pushed himself to the opposite side of the entire Jiangnan at this moment, but fortunately, no one dares to oppose him on the bright side, so he only needs to guard against these people secretly making stumbling blocks.
At this time, Yao Fengan, the political envoy, spoke: "Lord Chen is reasonable, but if it really provokes a civil uprising, how should it be handled? ”
"The people's resentment against the government last time has not been eliminated, if it stirs up the people's rebellion again...... I'm afraid it's not so easy to press! ”
These people's buttocks are indeed crooked, obviously they are taxing the rich, but they always lead to the poor people.
The scene became quiet, and everyone was watching the play to see how Chen Xiaoting coped with the situation.
At this time, Chen Xiaoting laughed, these people really thought they were scared.
He has no way out now, so he said very calmly: "If it provokes a civil uprising again, I think the most unlucky people will be those wealthy families, and the situation may not always be controllable!" ”
What this means is that even if the Hao clan manipulates the popular uprising, it is possible to get rid of it, but that is already an extreme situation.
It can be said that Chen Xiaoting is pressuring all the time, letting everyone know his determination to urge taxation.
"So what will Lord Chen do with the turmoil in the city now?" Cui Bangdao asked at this time.
saw Chen Xiaoting smile and said: "Those who don't know the current affairs should come here to listen to ......"
But then he withdrew his smile and said with a serious expression: "For these people who disturb the order of the various officials in the city and try to fight against the government and the imperial court, no matter what their identity is, no matter who they are, no matter who they are, we Jinyiwei will severely crack down on ......."
"The preferential treatment and tolerance of the imperial court are not the reliance of these people!"
Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoting's tone was already murderous, and this was already a clear statement of his determination.
In the astonishment of the officials, Chen Xiaoting continued: "In the turmoil in Nan'an City, our Jinyiwei has confidence, determination, and ability...... Suppress all unrest! ”
"And outside of Nan'an, there is also my Ming guard, as well as the elite Jing'an army, anyone who intends to fight against the imperial court will be suppressed!"
Chen Xiaoting's words can be summed up in one sentence, and if you are not satisfied, you will do it.
Now he threw the question to the Hao, who had to think carefully before deciding whether or not to weigh his resolve.
By tracing Cai Shi's two comrades, as well as his statement in the lobby today, Chen Xiaoting has clearly explained the purpose of his trip.
"Ladies and gentlemen, taxation can be said to be the most important thing for my Ming Dynasty, and everything else has to make way for it!"
Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoting smiled slightly: "As long as the taxes can be raised, then everything is easy to say, and it is nothing to die!" ”
Walking to the center of the lobby, Chen Xiaoting smiled and said: "After all, we all talk about personal feelings, naturally hello, I am good, everyone is good, right?" ”
After Fang Cai's tough statement, Chen Xiaoting said such a thing at this moment, which means even more worth understanding.
Yao Fengan and Cui Bangdao were silent, they understood what Chen Xiaoting meant.
Hello, hello, everyone, this is naturally the result that Yao Cui and the others also want, who wants to walk the tightrope all the time?
It can be said that the first effect of Chen Xiaoting's words was to change the minds of these two people to a certain extent.
"Farewell!" Chen Xiaoting walked directly out of the lobby.
