Chapter 1007: Support
The visual impact of a corpse that had its head cut off and was still convulsing was incomparable, and with a single exclamation, the crowd of onlookers couldn't help but take a few steps back in shock, and no one thought that someone would be beheaded in public because he said a few more strange words. For a while, no one dared to say much, not even a whisperer.
The two idlers who were tied up to the guilty were even more frightened and collapsed on the ground, even the guy who had just spoken hard words was still looking at the corpse in the pool of blood at this moment, shaking like chaff, and he didn't know where to throw the righteous words for fear of righteousness. It is estimated that he is more glad that he did not have his head cut off just now, and he feels like he is in a desperate situation.
"Governor Cai is so ruthless, he dares to kill people on the street!" Chen Shu on the high platform was also taken aback, but after all, she had also experienced the sea of corpses and blood in the Battle of Yashan, and this scene was not frightened, so she quickly calmed down and stuck out her tongue.
"Don't bully honest people, it's even more terrifying when they launch a rush!" Zhao Hao smiled and said, and he looked left and right at the crowd There were many suspicious people, including not only the soldiers of the guard battalion, but also the spies of the affairs bureau, and some other people may be the personal entourage and servants of the powerful families in Beijing. If there is such a big bustle in Beijing, how can there be no tabloid reporters.
The guards are easy to recognize, although they are dressed in civilian clothes, they can hardly hide the military atmosphere accumulated over the years, and their behavior is with a unique temperament; The spies of the bureau are even more hidden, they are disguised as all kinds of people, etc., mixed in the crowd, and those who don't know the inside story don't know their identities at all, but Zhao Yu can see through their disguises through the code and unique signs of communication between them. However, he believed that these people must have discovered him, and formed a seemingly loose defensive ring around him, closely monitoring the every move of the surrounding people.
In order to obtain timely information, especially about political opponents, officials in Beijing will secretly send people to monitor and even collect information on the streets, so that they can learn about public opinion and political conditions as soon as possible, so as not to accidentally misestimate the situation. However, they do not have the ability to train specialized spies, and they generally choose some clever followers or domestic servants, or even buy information from street idlers, so these non-professionals are not skilled in their business and clumsy in their work, and they can be easily distinguished.
As for the tabloid reporters, they are much more active, ignoring the bloody scene, and without any scruples, they crawl through the crowd, asking those who have seen it to collect first-hand information, and timely feedback to their respective tabloids, in order to be the first to report among many peers. As for these people, the officials of Lin'an Mansion have long been surprised, and they have no intention of stopping them.
"It's not good, Gao Gui is here!" At this time, Chen Shu took the little emperor's hand again and pointed out.
"He can't sit still, which means that his heart is empty!" Zhao Yu looked over and saw Gao Gui getting up and walking over to this side with the support of two domestic servants, followed by several sturdy nursing homes, but in his opinion, it was just a bluff.
"Gao Guiguan has a second grade, and he has the title of Duke of the country, how dare Governor Cai touch him!" Chen Shu naturally knew which end of the kang was hot, and Cai Wanyi had already attached himself to the emperor in the Shuai Mansion, which was older than the Chen family's qualifications. And it has always been trusted and reused by the emperor, of course, it is his own family, so he is a little anxious.
"He naturally has no right to punish him, but there is no way to take it, let's just wait and see, don't reveal his identity!" Zhao Yu said and pulled Chen Shu back and hid behind the guards. He knew that if Cai Wanyi could take the opportunity to deal with this matter, then it would open up the dull situation that had always been related to the transformation of the city, but he didn't want to expose it too early, so as not to affect his decision......
Cai Wanyi stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Gao Gui who was walking towards him, he knew that today's confrontation between the two was not only another clash between the old and new factions, but also a battle for whether he could open up the passive situation and establish his position in the DPRK. In fact, since he was appointed to govern Lin'an, he knew that the little emperor had high hopes for him, hoping that he would be able to manage the land of Gyeonggi well and make Lin'an the fundamental place for the revival of the Great Song Dynasty.
But Cai Wanyi thought that he had failed to fulfill the emperor's trust at the moment. One is because Lin'an is a gathering place for all forces, and the political situation is complicated, and if you are not careful, you will become a victim of the struggle between all parties, even if the emperor wants to protect him; Both, he came from a humble background and did not participate in the imperial examination, but he was only able to enter the office in the shadow of his father, and the starting point was very low. When everyone was like this in Qiongzhou, it didn't seem abrupt, but when they arrived in Lin'an, it was different, and the new officials who entered the court were often a certain branch jinshi, or they had deep qualifications and had served in the state capital or Beijing.
In the face of such a complicated situation, Cai Wanyi had to be cautious everywhere, humble and humble, lest he make mistakes, so as not to make it difficult for the emperor. Even so, he failed to open the situation, but he was still excluded and ridiculed by his colleagues, thinking that he was just hugging the emperor's thick legs to steal the high position, and he was really an incompetent junior.
On the other hand, everyone who entered the Shuai Mansion together became their own successes, even Huang Xianyao, Lin Zhiwu and others, who were lower than their own status at the beginning, also made a difference. Recently, Zhou Xiangdu, who has always been regarded as the most unproductive, has been promoted to the head of the Ministry of Works, and has done several major things that have been deeply appreciated by the emperor, and he is still hesitant in the transformation of Lin'an City, although the emperor did not blame, but he also consciously defiled. Today he feels that it is an opportunity and a challenge, and he can't retreat, even if he is ruined.
"The lower officials are polite, they disturbed the national prince, and please atone for their sins!" Seeing that Gao Gui came to the front with his support, Cai Wanyi dressed up and stepped forward to salute.
"Governor Cai still has this in his eyes...... O national duke! Gao Gui actually prefers people to call himself Xiangye, after all, this title is more authoritative than the empty title, and he often calls himself this in front of others. But this Cai prefect is so ignorant, but he also knows that he is an official who has already become a minister, even if he has prestige in the past, he is outdated, and in front of a prefect who holds the power of Gyeonggi, it is really not a gift to say that he is a public opinion. He barely squeezed out a slight smile and sat down with a slight arch of his hand.
"Where does Lord Guogong speak, how dare the lower officials be disrespectful?" Cai Wanyi was angry when he saw that he was so big, but he still gave a lilt. But Zheng Sixiao flicked his sleeves and turned his back, looking disdainful of talking to him.
"Since Governor Cai still has me in his eyes, how about this matter end?" Gao Gui looked at Cai Wanyi and said in a deep voice.
"Gao Guogong laughed, your house slave first insulted and beat Zheng Yushi, and then beat the officials of Lin'an Mansion, so hastily closed the case, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public, and I ask Guogong to be considerate of the officials!" Cai Wanyi replied without humility or arrogance.
"Everyone in Governor Cai's Mansion is making a living in Beijing, so why be aggressive? I have handed over the murderer, and I am also willing to apologize to Zheng Yushi, and I am also willing to compensate the injured officials, so wouldn't everyone be happy! Gao Gui frowned and said, and wondered in his heart whether Cai Wanyi wanted to bargain with him, or whether he wanted to find his own stubble and cut him off.
"Zheng Yushi, Gao Guogong apologizes to you and gives compensation, are you willing?" Cai Wanyi turned to Zheng Sixiao and asked.
"Hmph, although I am humble and short of money, I want reason, not compensation!" Zheng Sixiao snorted coldly and said, "As long as he admits that he made a mistake in dumping garbage into the river, and is willing to accept punishment, and Teng Rang encroached on the street, I will not pursue this matter again!" ”
"Why should Zheng Yushi be so stubborn, I will teach those subordinates a lesson in the future and let them obey the contract. As for the invasion of the streets, there are all bows in the capital, and it is not the official family, so why bother staring at us. Gao Gui was a little helpless about this dead heart, and continued, "Although Gao has already become a minister, there are still some old relatives and friends in the court, and they can help each other, so why make enemies." In addition, how much compensation Zheng Yushi wants, he can speak, I have nothing to say. ”
"Does Gao Guogong mean to openly bribe his own officials, or is it an alarmist threat?" Zheng Sixiao turned around and sneered.
"Zheng Yushi doesn't give Gao this face, you have to think more, don't be impulsive!" Gao Gui was swept away by Zheng Sixiao in public, but he was very helpless about this guy who didn't love money, he couldn't beat him again in public, so he could only persuade him hatefully.
"You also heard it just now, Gao Guogong said that he wanted to supply his injured brother with some soup money, and asked you not to pursue this matter again, are you willing?" Cai Wanyi turned around and asked the officials who had been beaten for a while, with blue noses and swollen faces.
"The prefect, the brothers are disgraced, but if we don't punish those lawbreakers, we will no longer have the shame to be on an errand in this capital, and please ask Shangguan to call the shots for the little ones!" The officials glanced at each other, then knelt down on one knee and pleaded.
"Okay, this official should be in charge of you, get up and obey orders!" Cai Wanyi raised his hand and said.
"Thank you Shangguan for calling the shots for us!" The officials stood up and said.
"Gao Guogong also saw it, that is, the official wanted to reconcile, but the parties refused to give up, and the official could only do business!" Cai Wanyi turned around and said solemnly.
"Governor Cai, you're playing tricks on the old man." No matter how stupid Gao Gui was, he could see that Cai Wanyi was leading himself into the ditch step by step, stood up and pointed his finger at him, "Rudang Street kills people, and snares the crime of framing good people, I will contact my colleagues to go to the palace to participate in you, and you will be dismissed from your post and investigated." ”
"Hehe, the national public can go to participate, but this official is still the prefect of Lin'an today, so he must enforce the law impartially. Someone! Cai Wanyi laughed dryly twice, and said with a solemn face.
"In!"
"In!" The officers and soldiers of the third class of Lin'an Mansion and the inspection department responded in unison.
"Take down all the fanatics who beat Zheng Yushi and the law enforcement officials to await trial!" Cai Wanyi raised his hand and pointed.
"Little Leader!" The soldiers of the Inspection Department immediately drew their knives and stepped forward to surround all the people of Gaofu, and the officials who had been beaten came forward to identify them, and in a few moments, they tied up more than a dozen Gaofu family members and nursing homes.
"Xiang Ye help, we are all acting according to orders, we must not see death without help......" The officials will not take the opportunity to vent some personal anger, and those Gaofu family members will inevitably suffer a few heart-wrenching fists and shadowless feet, they cry wolf howls in pain, and the headless corpse is beside them, how can they not be afraid, so they can't stop asking Gao Gui for help.
"Don't bite indiscriminately, when did your lord instruct you? Cai Zhifu don't listen to their nonsense! Gao Gui avoided them at this time, trying his best to get rid of them.
"Gao Guogong, who secretly instigated it, you will know when you go back to the hall one by one, don't worry!" Cai Wanyi chuckled and said, "The Duke of the Kingdom should know that His Majesty has repeatedly issued orders, and the Lin'an Mansion has also posted notices many times, not to dump waste in the rivers in the city, and violators will be severely punished." ”
"The old man knows, it's just that the old man lives in the house, and he doesn't know that those guys actually ignore the laws of the country and dump dirt into the river, but I also have the crime of lax control!" Of course, Gao Gui knew about these prohibitions, and he had learned what the little emperor had done in Qiongzhou earlier, and everyone was punished at that time. After arriving in Lin'an, although it has been rectified many times, the effect is not good, and no one takes it seriously, but this time I hit the muzzle. But at the moment, Cai Wanyi obviously wants to use himself to establish his authority, if he is punished for sweeping the street, not only will he lose face, but also his inside, so he will not admit it if he makes up his mind.
In this way, Gao Guogong admitted that there was such a thing, but it was already stated in the announcement that the domestic servant committed the crime, and the head of the family was guilty of the same crime. Guogong is inevitably tired! Cai Wanyi had long expected that he would excuse himself like this, and smiled with a smile.
"Okay, the old man admits punishment!" Gao Gui thought that Cai Wanyi was sincere and couldn't get along with him, and if he continued to entangle, it would only make things more complicated, so if he recognized it first, and then found someone to deal with him secretly, he nodded and admitted.
"In addition, there is also the invasion of the street, Guogong's restaurants and shops are about to occupy the road, please demolish them all together to make room for land!" Cai Wanyi said again.
"Governor Cai's mansion don't deceive people too much, this restaurant and the old man of the shop bought it like this, how can you invade the street, you can't be so domineering even if you are a court official!" Gao Gui couldn't hold back anymore after hearing this, and shouted loudly.
......As soon as Gao Gui's words came out, Gao Gui's words triggered a burst of laughter from onlookers, and many of them were mixed with shameless and old laughs and scolding.
"Since it is a trading place, there must be a contract, and it has its own size, so I will bother the national government to take it and take a look at it with the official, so that I can give you an explanation!" Cai Wanyi was not annoyed, but still smiled, but his tone was unquestionable.
"Governor Cai, do you think the old man is easy to bully? If you want to demolish it today, you will step on the old man's body, if you hurt half of my hair, look at the Manchu Dynasty who dares to support you! Gao Gui knew that if he took out the contract, it would be equivalent to confirming the fact that he had invaded the street, so he simply played hob meat.
"Ru ......" Gao Gui, as the emperor's own prince, really can't touch him without permission, watching him sit on a chair and block the front, I don't know what to do.
"If I support it, what does the county prince of Xinyang think!" In the midst of the stalemate, someone stood up and shouted......
