Chapter 210: Earth-shattering
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the lobby looked at Chen Laosi, today he shook these things off, is there anything else?
Chen Laosi knelt upright, with a temperament that looked at death as if he were at home, which was shocking.
The grass people listened to Zhang Dashan's chat with the Yang family and said that the silver taels allocated for disaster relief in Wuqing County last year were compensated according to the land, but all the farmers did not get these silver taels, and all of them were obtained by the squire.
Zhang Dashan also said that they would not treat Chu County Order badly, and each family took out half of it to honor him, Yang was stunned, and the Zhang Dashan man also stuffed her with a box of silver ingots, saying that no one would be short of her. ”
Liu Renli didn't speak, his eyes fell directly on Chu Huanpin's body, at this time Chu Huanpin's face had changed suddenly, he had seen Liu Renli's thunderous methods before, and he knew at this time that it must be over, and the next one was himself, and he looked at Liu Renli in a daze.
Zhou Heng was stunned, the more he looked at it, the more it looked like Liu Renli had arranged it, the evidence in the previous case was well prepared, obviously this was to bring up the matter of snow disaster relief, but he didn't expect Liu Renli to be so ruthless, it was a killing move.
It is said that there are three fires for the new official to take office, and this second fire is directly burned to the official, which is digging the grave of the predecessor.
After a while, Liu Renli said:
"Since Zhang Hui'an is mentioned, then bring the prisoner up again and ask about it."
Zhang Huaiyuan shouted loudly: "Bring someone to commit Zhang Hui'an!" ”
After a while, Zhang Hui'an was brought up again.
originally thought that he was a capital crime, but Zhang Hui'an was already wearing a prison uniform at the moment, just a single dress, kneeling in the lobby with shackles, and looked at Liu Renli in the hall tremblingly.
Liu Renli asked very bluntly:
"Just now Chen Laosi said that you told the Yang family that the disaster relief money from the snow disaster last year was not distributed to the farmers, but was shared by the squires according to the amount of their land, and you bribed half of the proceeds to Chu Huanpin, can this be the case?"
Zhang Huian raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Huanpin, who was also trembling.
Suddenly full of hatred, just when he was asked, this person was helpless, these many years, he gave him countless amounts of money, is it the amount of disaster relief funds, suddenly his eyes showed a fierce light, since he wants to die, let's die together.
"Lord Hui, this is indeed the case, other counties don't know if they have received disaster relief funds, anyway, Wuqing County has received 220,000 taels.
Originally, it was allocated according to the number of peasant households, but the county magistrate found us squires and asked us what our opinions were, and then said that such compensation was difficult to consider, and that it was better to allocate the disaster relief money according to the amount of land.
In this way, what can we say, we agreed, and then three days later, the silver was allocated, all in cash, with the words Xuanhua Tongbao underneath.
The nine of us got together and discussed, this matter Chu County Order let us get silver, we must not make it difficult to do the Chu County Order, and this is clearly asking us to bribe, so it was decided that each family would give fifty percent to Chu County Order.
These silver taels are still stored in my family's silver vault at the moment because they have official seals, if you don't believe it, you can check one or two, my lord, what I say is true, if you don't believe it, you can find the other eight squires to ask. ”
After speaking, Zhou Yi'an walked up with a wooden box and opened the lid, there were twenty-five silver ingots neatly placed inside, Zhou Yi'an took out one, and showed the bottom of the silver ingot to everyone.
Zhou Yi'an covered the wooden box and stood beside Zhang Huaiyuan.
Many people present felt that their legs were weak and blood was gushing up, this was to bite each other, Zhang Hui'an couldn't run away if he died, and now he wanted to atone for his crimes, but who did they offend.
Several of them looked at each other tremblingly, and quickly knelt on the ground, this is not the time to hold the big one, obviously this Chu Huan in front of him is a waste, if he doesn't stand in line, he will dig his own grave.
Looking at the person kneeling on the ground, Liu Renli looked at Bo Tongzhi.
"Bo Tongzhi bothered you to introduce to this official, who are these people?"
Bo Tongzhi saw sweat on his forehead and hurriedly saluted.
"Lord Zhizhou, this matter ......"
Liu Renli turned his head and looked down at Bo Tongzhi seriously.
"Bo Tongzhi thinks too much, this official just wants to know if these are all squires of Wuqing County, and whether this snow disaster relief is only in Wuqing County?"
Bo Tongzhi settled down, and then said:
"These eight people are all squires of Wuqing County, and as for the relief of the snow disaster, two counties were involved at that time, one was Wuqing County and the other was Xianghe County."
Liu Renli nodded and looked at Chu Huanpin, who was kneeling on the ground.
"This official has been in Tongzhou for ten days, and he has visited all the four counties, and all the squire's fields are numbered, the amount of tenant rent, the number of farmers, and the harvest are all registered.
Chu Huanpin was prostrate on the ground at the moment, and the arrogance just now was gone.
"The lower official is guilty, and the lower official is ashamed of his trust."
Liu Renli waved his hand, "Sign and draw, record the beginning and end in detail, and now bring Chu Huanpin and Zhang Huian down." ”
Then Liu Renli looked at the eight people, "As for the few of you, within one day, you will return the silver taels received for disaster relief to the Tongzhou Mansion without delaying for an hour, and you will be convicted after the official reports it." ”
The eight people suddenly all fell to the ground, and they were simply crying bitterly.
I just felt that I was dead, but I didn't expect the peak to turn around at this time, but I just let myself make up for the deficit, such a feeling at the top of the mountain and the bottom of the valley, people almost didn't know whether it was sad or happy, and thanked him one by one and quickly got up and stood on the side.
Liu Renli took a roster and looked at the person introduced by Bo Tongzhi just now.
"Xianghe County Commander Wang Xianzhong."
The man hurriedly got up and gave a salute, without too much flattery, Liu Renli looked at him and motioned for Zhang Huaiyuan to hand over a booklet to this person.
"Wang County's order is well governed, and the disaster relief in Xianghe County has won the hearts of the people, but this method of bereavement can be more accurate, and the distribution is carried out according to the number of people, and some strong farmers still feel that it is unfair, but it is not easy to achieve such a detailed distribution."
Wang Xianzhong raised his eyes to look at Liu Renli in the upper seat, and was not grateful for this praise, but was extremely interested in the injustice that was said later.
Seeing Zhang Huaiyuan handing him a booklet, Wang Xianzhong hurriedly opened it.
Inside are a table, after reading it for a while, I instantly understood what it meant, this is the statistics of the compensation received by the people of each village, the name of the household, the number of people, the geometry of the strong man, the number of fields, private land or tenants.
Categorized and very detailed, but a few of the farmers who were circled, Wang Xianzhong glanced at it and instantly understood what Liu Renli said, with a trance on his face, he hurriedly re-applied the salute and said:
"Thank you Lord Zhizhou for the order, it seems that I have benefited a lot, I wonder if this booklet can be given to the lower officials?"
Liu Renli paused, looked at Zhang Huaiyuan, Zhang Huaiyuan whispered into Liu Renli's ear, and said:
"My lord just has this one, and he hasn't copied it yet."
Liu Renli looked at Wang Xianzhong, "That's all for the booklet, I'll send it to you after I copy it, don't be in a hurry." ”
Wang Xianzhong hurriedly thanked him, such a sudden change in the style of painting was a little puzzling, but Liu Renli had already gotten up at this moment.
"This official has gone to his post, I hope you will work together to govern Tongzhou well, okay, Wang Xianzhong left a waiting transcript, and the others will do their part."
As he spoke, he turned around and walked through the side door, and the people in the lobby either ran away or froze in place, not knowing what to do.
However, the onlookers outside cheered, some applauded, some whistled, and some shouted that the old man Qingtian was coming, Liu Renli left, and the crowd dispersed.
Boss Xue tugged on Zhou Heng's sleeve and asked in a low voice.
"What are we going to do?"
Zhou Heng glanced at him, shook off Boss Xue's arm, his face was gloomy, and now he couldn't tell how he felt, this Liu Renli was a good thing.
What did this goods do in Tongzhou for ten days, the grassroots level every day, understand the situation, and this is all shaken out, isn't this a blockage for yourself?
"Let's go, let's go back."
Boss Xue was stunned, but he was not stupid, he felt that Zhou Heng was a little annoyed, and hurriedly followed.
"Do you want to leave without seeing each other?"
Zhou Heng glared at Boss Xue.
"Back to the inn."
