[On the same question as Chapter 207 and Chapter 208.] Jianwu apologized to all the officials who supported the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the content of chapter 208 will be re-uploaded later. Thank you for the great reminder. 〕

When those officials saw Liu Xia come out, they thought that Liu Xia was forced by them to agree to cancel the renovation of the gambling house. So they hurriedly looked up at Liu Xia, but what they saw when they looked up was not Liu Xia's peaceful and helpless face, but angry and disgusted eyes. Moreover, Liu Xia was followed by more than a dozen people in special uniforms, these people they had heard should be personnel of the Investigation Department. Each of the dozen or so people in these investigation offices had some books in their hands, but they didn't know what was written on them.

The officials craned their necks to take a look, but they couldn't see a word from a distance. However, they still kept telling themselves in their hearts that Liu Xia would definitely agree with them, after all, there were so many of them, it was impossible for Liu Xia not to have any scruples.

"Could it be the letter of appointment given to them by Liu Xia? Move them all elsewhere in one go? The crowd thought to themselves.

These officials, seeing Liu Xia's angry eyes, all the officials felt very comfortable in their hearts, being able to force Liu Xia to look like this is half the battle, and the leading few people are thinking in their hearts, the brothers will work harder to cancel Liu Xia's tax on the gambling house.

"Please take back your fate!"

Liu Xia sneered at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, staring at the more than 100 people, as if he saw not people, but a group of unreasonable pigs, and he said calmly: "It's good, it's really good." It's really good that the officials of this king actually backed up the people in those casinos and came to intercede for them. This king really knows what it has become that the people under his command have become corrupt in just one year, hmph, it seems that you are those people who have learned Nanjing. ”

As soon as Liu Xia said this, many officials below suddenly felt bad, but now that they have come to this point, they must not give up like this, at this time, the officials lowered their heads one after another and no longer raised them.

"Back to the prince, we are just avenging the people. As the saying goes, officials don't compete with the people for profit, and the prince should not exploit the profits of the gambling house like this. Please ask the prince to take back his order, to benefit the people, and let the people of the world believe in the king. An official kneeling in front of him lay his head on the ground, not daring to raise his head, but his voice was very loud, not only Liu Xia could hear it clearly, but also the people around him could hear it clearly.

Liu Xia retorted: "What is competing with the people? He has never seen this king go to oppress the people, and now the people under the rule of my Pingbei Army are not living and working in peace and contentment, and they can eat and wear clothes. You, as local parents, don't care about these people, but get entangled in gambling houses. What's in mind? Do you know how many people are ruined every day because of gambling, and their wives are separated. Such a cancer must be controlled. ”

At this time, another official was also lying on the ground, refusing to raise his head, so loudly said to the ground: "The prince said that the lower officials dare not agree, even if it is a tumor, then why does the prince collect seventy percent of the profit?" Isn't this a competition for the benefit of the people? Please take back your life! ”

Liu Xia said: "It's not seventy percent, but now it's eighty percent." The king naturally knew that it was impossible to ban the gambling houses, so the king built a special city, placed all the gambling houses in it, and collected a large amount of taxes not only to curb the increase of gambling houses, and gradually ban the number of gambling houses, but also because the gambling houses were concentrated in one city, they could also be managed in more aspects. It can also reduce the number of people who go to gamble, and then effectively control it. ”

Liu Xia said, the onlookers immediately applauded happily, Liu Xia's words won the approval of the people, of course, the main reason is that the harm of gambling is really great, many people because of gambling wives and broken families, and finally become a thug who steals chickens and dogs, or murderers, robbers. The people hate this kind of person the most, and many people have such a good gambling relative, they saw the former relatives die, and finally went to prison for stealing, which made them hate gambling very much, so they supported Liu Xia to rectify the gambling house.

Feeling the contempt of the people around them, these kneeling officials felt embarrassed one by one, and even lowered their heads, not daring to raise their heads to let the people see their appearance. Many people are beginning to regret that they would not have come here if they knew they wouldn't have come.

At this time, the onlookers didn't know who suddenly smashed a rotten egg, and the rotten egg suddenly hit an official's back, but the official was motionless.

Suddenly, the onlookers exploded the pot and asked for some from the people who had rotten eggs and vegetable leaves, and then served all the rotten eggs and vegetable leaves to those officials. These officials who oppose Liu Xia are bullying them, which is the inner thoughts of the people.

Liu Xia gave them stability and a comfortable environment, and now under Liu Xia's rule, they can't go hungry or freeze, they have a house to live in, and they have land to plant. The law is strict and relatively fair. After all, most of the people have experienced a great drought in the world for more than ten years, and there are many people who have starved to death, and now they have finally come out with a master, and they will never allow anyone to oppose Liu Xia, Liu Xia is the great leader in their hearts.

Looking at the overreaction of the people, although Liu Xia was happy in his heart, he still asked the soldiers to go up to stop it, after all, these are still officials and not prisoners, although they will soon be prisoners.

Baiguan let those rotten eggs fall on them and still didn't move, although they were angry, but they didn't dare to get up because Liu Xia was suppressing in front. They thought that when this matter was over, they would take revenge on the people.

"If the prince says let him go, he must leave here as quickly as possible, and never come to Luoyang again, and after he goes back, he must abide by his duty and never participate in such an incident again." Many officials thought so in their hearts.

Liu Xia looked at the motionless official kneeling down and sneered: "Why don't you say it?" Don't ask? Since you don't say it, it's time for the king to say it. Liu Xia said, and suddenly the scene became quiet, and those people also kept order, wanting to hear what Liu Xia said.

Liu Xia glanced at the hundred officials on the side expressionlessly, and then picked up a piece of paper from the hands of an officer from the investigation department behind him and read it aloud: "Deputy Director of the Civil Affairs Department of Kaifeng Prefecture, Wang Wenda." Liu Xia paused, glanced at Wang Wenda, who was lying at the front and trembled when he heard his name, and then said: "From the beginning of office to the present, a total of 8,000 silver dollars have been embezzled, and there are three mansions. There are twenty maids and three concubines. Received 5,000 silver dollars from the Lucky Charm Gambling House. It constitutes a serious crime of corruption, and the evidence of the crime is true, which is really heinous, and heaven and people are angry. Someone will take it for the king! Handed over to the Supreme Court! Every time Liu Xia read a word, Wang Wencai's face turned pale, when Liu Xia finished reading, he was completely paralyzed on the ground, and the other officials were even more frightened, they kept praying to all the gods who knew not to find them, but since the officials who could come, then they had something to do with some gambling houses, as long as there was corruption, then Liu Xia would definitely be able to find out.

Then the two investigators walked up and dragged Wang Wencai, who was paralyzed on the ground, out like a dead dog, and when they passed by the crowd, the people waited for the remaining rotten eggs and vegetable leaves in their hands, and the two investigators were also implicated, which made them cry bitterly, so they accelerated their pace to get out of the crowd as soon as possible.

"Li Jingguo, deputy director of the Finance Department of Ruzhou Prefecture, embezzled 13,000 silver dollars from public funds, collected bribes of 50,000 silver dollars from all walks of life, occupied Xuzhou Changhe Casino, Yuzhou Linying Casino, and Ruzhou Fengyu Casino, and was one of the people behind it, and obtained more than 20,000 silver dollars from them every year. Among them, there are five mansions, 100 maids, and 10 concubines. Among them, the eight concubines were illegally coerced, resulting in the destruction of their families. The killing of five people during his tenure of office constitutes serious corruption and bribery, homicide, etc., which is really a heinous crime, and someone will take it down! Handed over to the Supreme Court! Take him down! Among them, Zhang Lang, the prefect of Ruzhou, could not escape the blame, and he was dismissed and investigated on the same day! ”
