Chapter 900: Distressed
Chapter 900 is distressed
Fang Xie ticked the names of these people on the roster, although most of them were not high-ranking officials, but their positions were very important. It's like a screw that looks inconspicuous, but if it falls, some of its functions will fail. Often such people are easy to ignore, and when they are ignored, problems arise.
Most of these people are working in the camp of Vermilion Bird Mountain, and some of them are out to inspect the Quartet, and they should not have received the news yet, Fang Xie is so resolute in this investigation, even if some people know and have a good relationship with the person being investigated, they dare not leak the news privately, and everyone involved at this level can see and hear it. Dugu Wenxiu deliberately buried Fang Jie's sentence to some people, just to tell them that you should be smarter.
Less than ten days
Including Zhang Chu, who was out on patrol, was brought back.
Counting the days, there are still four or five days left before Sang Sasa's due date.
Except for Zhang Chu, all the people who were brought back by the Xiao Riding School were all concentrated in the meeting hall of Vermilion Bird Mountain. Even now, in fact, they don't know what's going on. When the Xiao Riding School called them over, they didn't move rudely, and they were very polite.
Therefore, some of them even thought that Fang Xie had summoned them to hold a separate meeting. After all, the people arrested this time are all people who are almost within the same functional scope.
"Do you know what's going on?"
"I don't know, but it's not a bad thing......"
"That's not guaranteed, as soon as the lord comes back, he will gather us people, who knows if there is a mess in any link?"
When this man spoke, the two words were in a very heavy tone.
"Don't worry"
One of them smiled and said, "Haven't you heard that Mrs. Sang is about to give birth, what can happen on such a happy day?" ”
The crowd then laughed heartily.
"You're right."
The voice came from outside the door, and everyone was startled. They looked back and saw Fang Xie walking in slowly from outside the door, followed by a team of riding schools. Looking at the hands of those riding schools pressed on the hilt of the knife, everyone suddenly had a kind of fear. These civil officials don't know that it is the murderous aura carried by people who have killed a lot of people, especially when such people want to kill again, the murderous aura is the strongest.
Fang Xie walked through the crowd and slowly walked to the chair in the middle and sat down, unlike usual, he didn't let these officials sit down.
"Just before I entered the door, I heard someone say that I was going to add a ding to my house, which was a great joy. Thank you in advance, this is indeed a great joy, and you all see this as a great joy, and I am very grateful. ”
Fang Xie first hugged his fists, and the people below hurriedly bowed their heads in response.
"There's another sentence that's right."
Fang Jie's tone changed, and he looked at the people below and said slowly: "Someone said before that my child will be born in a few days, so nothing will happen. That's right, so I rushed back from Subei Province and did everything I needed to do before my child was born. ”
Fang Xie leaned back and pointed outside: "Bring one person, some of you may know." After a while, when the man comes in, the man who knows him comes up to me himself, and I will respect you as a man. ”
Chen Xiaoru, who was standing at the door of the conference hall, beckoned, and then four Xiao Riding Schools escorted two people in from the outside. The two men were heavily handcuffed and shackled, and the sound of the chains scraping against the bluestone floor as they walked was so harsh.
Although Lou County's flesh and blood were blurred by fifty strokes of the palm when he was in Pinggu County, after more than ten days, this face was already vaguely recognizable. And followed by his brother-in-law Feng Yizheng, who was obviously much more seriously injured than him, but fortunately it was not injured on his face.
When they saw these two people, the faces of several officials in the hall involuntarily changed.
Fang Xie looked at everyone and shook his head slightly. Then he stopped his gaze on Lou Xianling's face, stayed for a while, and suddenly smiled: "I haven't said thank you to Lou Xianling, I have taken out the three thousand taels of silver exchange silver ticket you gave me, and I have taken it out of the money bank where the goods are going to be born, and I have helped my soon-to-be-born child make some toy wooden beds." The rest of the money had to be bought, for a banquet would be held to celebrate after a while. ”
Lou Xianling's voice was a little familiar, and his mind was originally a little blurry, and when he heard this, he subconsciously looked up, and then saw Fang Jie's face, a face he would never forget. It seems that no matter when and where, in the eyes of anyone, Fang Xie is a person who is easy to remember.
"Yes...... You! ”
Lou Xianling was furious: "You took my silver, why do you want to betray me!" ”
He wasn't so stupid, he had been mentally tortured too much in the past ten days, he was fascinated all day, and when he saw Fang Xie sitting high on it, he didn't react. After these words came out, he suddenly realized something, his face suddenly turned pale, and then he sat on the ground with a dilated look: "How can this be...... How could it be your ......"
"You ungrateful thing!"
Feng Yizheng is a real idiot, the reason why he can be a good man is because of the care of Lou County Order, this person doesn't do things at all.
He actually raised two fingers locked with iron chains to explain to Fang: "I took the silver from my brother-in-law, and I still have to tell the truth!" My brother-in-law has been in Pinggu County for so many years, who dares to bully? I advise you to let us go! Let me tell you, there are adults in the Suzaku Mountain camp who are good friends with my brother-in-law, don't say I didn't remind you! Be careful that you don't know how to die yourself! ”
"Shut up, you idiot!"
Lou Xian Ling scolded in a trembling voice: "Don't kneel down and confess your guilt!" He is...... Zhen Guogong! ”
Feng Yizheng was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he suddenly screamed, his face turned pale, and he fell straight down, stunned.
……
……
Fang Xie looked at the people below, and everyone who stood up couldn't help but be a little disappointed: "Why can't you let yourself leave with a little bit of man's dignity?" ”
The people below all hung their heads, and no one dared to speak, or even breathe loudly.
"I said before that greed is the constant driving force for people to move forward, and only greed can lead to fighting spirit. Greedy for victory, greedy for status, greedy for the world...... But if this greedy word is followed by a money word, the taste really changes. I don't have enough money for you? No way? It's because there's a sense of satisfaction when you look at a lot of silver, and you're down-to-earth, and you're comfortable, and it's even as cool as when you hold a woman and shake it for the last time, right? ”
Fang Xie stood up, walked down slowly, and walked in front of those people one by one: "I never expected someone to be able to do these four words of selfless dedication, because I can't do it myself." Everyone says that I am good to the people, and that is because only in this way the people are good to me, to put it bluntly, this is also a kind of selfishness. Although the money I give you cannot make you rich, it is still enough for the family to eat and wear what they want, right? ”
Fang Xie sighed: "At this time, you will want an antique?" A treasure? ”
He looked at those people, there was no disappointment or anger in his tone, nothing, as plain as the water of Xuanwu Lake.
"Actually, greed is human nature, and I didn't want to use heavy canons. Although I didn't say it explicitly, I was tolerant of you, not because I knew that you were greedy, but because you were greedy for money but still doing things. The reason why I have brought you all here today is because your greed has crossed the line. ”
Fang Xie walked to Lou Xianling's side and looked at this bloodless person: "Because you are greedy to the point that you are not taboo, there will be such people who are dictatorial and domineering in the local area. If such people exist, the people will suffer. Guess I'll allow someone to tarnish the image of the Black Flag Army that I've worked so hard to build up in the minds of the people? ”
He pointed to one of them and asked, "If you were me and I was you, would you allow me to do that?" ”
The man trembled with fright, and dared to answer.
"Don't tell me you're a first-time offender."
Fang Xie walked back to his chair and sat down, glancing at them; "I had too much blood on my hands, but I never wanted to get my own blood. The blood of the enemy will make me fight, and my own blood will only make me sad...... I say all this, not to educate you to reform your ways, you don't have that chance, I just want you to understand what you are dying. ”
Some trembled and fell, while others fell to their knees with a thud.
"Lord...... He does not ask for forgiveness of sins, but forgiveness of capital sins! The subordinates did not dare to argue, but begged the lord to give the subordinates a chance to repent. The subordinates have talents and can do things for you! You can also do things for the Black Flag Army! ”
Some fell to the ground and pleaded.
Fang Xie shook his head: "You can be an official in the Black Flag Army because you are talented and learned. I've been thinking for the past two days, if you endure until I take you to the highest place in the future, then no matter how greedy you are, maybe you can be greedy more and more. But you're in too much of a hurry, really too anxious. ”
"Tell me, why are you greedy?"
Fang Xie pointed to one of them, who had tears in his eyes, but he didn't dare to speak.
"Don't dare to say it?"
Fang Xie rubbed his temples and seemed to have a headache: "I'll help you say it...... The reason why you are in a hurry to be greedy now is partly because you don't believe that I can go to the end, and you are trying to find a way for yourself. If the Black Flag Army is defeated and our side is killed, you have the silver in your hands, and you can live comfortably even if you are not good. ”
Fang Xie paused: "If I were you, maybe I would think the same way...... But alas, I am me, and you are you. ”
"Chen Xiaoru ......"
Fang Xie waved his hand and ordered, "Since they have nothing to say, let's take them all down." How to interrogate, how to interrogate, how to deal with it, how to deal with it. For the sake of you people, Dugu's request to resign was rejected by me, and he was demoted by two levels, if you feel that you are wronged, think about whether he is wronged. ”
He didn't seem to bother to say anything more, and looked a little tired: "When you go back and send them on the road, add an extra bowl of wine to each person, which should be the wedding wine I invite you to drink." My baby is about to be born...... I had to finish the bloody thing before he was born and happily wait for him to be born. I remember that our Central Plains people have always had a custom that in order to pray for blessings, babies will be born with a little cinnabar red on their foreheads...... Thank you for borrowing your blood. ”
Chen Xiaoru greeted, and the Xiao Cavalry School of the brigade poured in and put everyone out, most of those people were stupid, and few of them begged and howled.
"Inform Huangyang Road, North Hui Road, South Hui Road, Yongbei Road, Pingshang Road, Yunnan Road, North Jiangsu Road...... Under the rule of our Black Flag Army, the Xiao Cavalry School will strictly investigate such cases. ”
He turned his head to look at Dugu Wenxiu: "Are you a literati, or are you the one who will preside over ......"
With that, he got up and left.
Chen Xiaoru glanced at Fang Jie's back, and hugged Dugu Wenxiu: "My lord, the Lord believes in you because you are honest and fair." ”
Dugu Wenxiu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "The lord uses me, the reason has been said just now...... I'm a literati, so I'm not murderous...... Lord Father...... Distressed. ”
