Chapter 333: Self-unmasking scars

"As the saying goes, 'food and clothing**,' especially in today's imperial court, the wind of extravagance and pleasure prevails, from top to bottom everywhere to build pavilions, pavilions, water pavilions, gardens, and more to build many temples and Taoist temples, I heard that around the Guangxing Palace, twenty-eight temples are being built, and the money and food are innumerable, and there are many people who fill their pockets from it, making the official mansions more luxurious than one another, and it can be said that they are rich in the world."

"Taking advantage of the prosperity of the merchants, the opportunity of the great construction of the people's fat and ointment became a common practice, and the corrupt officials and corrupt officials ran rampant and lawless, and regarded the court laws and decrees as nothing. The greedy are arrogant, and the greedy are envious, and the top and bottom regard the greed for ink as a common thing, and they are not ashamed, but proud. It is only a pity that the people have suffered all kinds of poisons, but there is no day of life, how sad it is! ”

Hearing this, Li Yi sighed gloomily and said, "What Brother Jiang said, how can Li Yi not know. It's just that the trend of the times is poisonous, and our officials are lowly and lowly, and there is no place for us to intervene. What's more, even if we fight hard and report the disadvantages of the times, what can we control? ”

"Above the temple, there is a turbulent undercurrent, and I have long been deeply affected by it. Even if he is the emperor, he must hesitate and think twice, and dare not act rashly. Otherwise, if one is not handled properly, the government will be disordered, and the various interest groups will intrigue and quarrel, and they will not know what kind of storm will be set off, which will only increase the suffering of the people. ”

"Brother Jiang has not been involved in officialdom for a long time, and the stakes are still unknown. Some things are intricate and intertwined, and they cannot be solved by taking it for granted. ”

"As the saying goes, 'the mortise that comes out of the mortise is rotten first', I was strong and competitive, but the result was that I ran into walls everywhere, not only did not affect the interests of any corrupt officials, but made enemies everywhere, making it difficult for me to move an inch. It was because the emperor looked at me differently that I was saved from being killed. Alas! How can anyone willingly spit out what they eat? ”

"But when it comes to Yunnan, since we have already set our ambitions, we will never allow any corruption to occur and exist. All those who are officials must hold the purpose of serving as officials for one term, benefiting one party, and serving the people wholeheartedly. Of course, we must not allow officials who are dedicated to doing things for the people to suffer, and if their lives are difficult and overstretched, I do not want to see them. ”

"Therefore, now in Yunnan, in addition to the salary stipulated by the imperial court, our government also gives additional subsidies to every official and official, just to provide them with generous treatment, so that they can do things with peace of mind and not do opportunistic things. If officials have all kinds of preferential treatments, but they are still greedy and intend to use public power to obtain benefits, we will find out together, investigate and deal with them together, and we will not spare them. ”

As soon as Li Yi finished speaking, Ran Yanchao slammed the table and sighed: "Alas! Although I don't know much about your words, we still understand the truth. I think back then, if Ran could meet a good official like you, how could I pull the flag and rebel and occupy the mountain as the king? Who doesn't want to eat a full stomach and be that pastoral rich man in peace! ”

Although Li Yi had already learned from Lin Yi about Ran Yanchao's history as a horse thief, he didn't expect him to admit himself on this occasion and say it unabashedly.

Li Yi hurriedly spoke: "People have the heart to change, what Brother Ran did in the past was just the official forcing the people to rebel, and he had to do it as a last resort." I look at Brother Ran as a human being, even if he is a coward, he will never do that thing that harms the good people and aids the abuse. ”

"So when we met, I could already see that Brother Ran was upright and selfless, and he must be a good man who was upright and righteous, so I was willing to make friends with a heroic person like you in my heart. And even the ancient sages have not done bad things, let alone us ordinary people! ”

Listening to Li Yi's kind words of explanation, Ran Yanchao turned red and said ashamedly: "What the big marshal said is just putting gold on Ran's face." My family knows my own affairs, and when I talk about the past, we don't dare to be ashamed! Alas! At the beginning of the incident, I was purely forced to be helpless, although I made up my mind to only do things to kill the rich and help the poor, but I am ashamed, sometimes I don't distinguish between right and wrong, and I have killed good people by mistake. If you mistakenly do something unkind, you often feel guilty. ”

"Especially in order to find a stable place to live, I also paid a lot of bribes to Sun Decheng, which is why I have Fengmingzhai as a place to stay. Now, I am far away from those dirty and shameless deeds, although I don't have the pleasure of eating meat and drinking in large bowls as before, but my heart is much more steady. ”

Ran Yanchao revealed his scars and told all the secrets of bribing Sun Decheng to obtain the land of Fengmingzhai, but Li Yi didn't care.

After all, in order to wash his hands and completely draw a line with the past, there must always be a place to live, and the cost of bribing Sun De was expected by Li Yi, whether he said it or not, he guessed it.

But what Li Yi and others didn't expect was that as soon as Ran Yanchao's voice fell, Feng Xinyan suddenly stood up, pointed at Ran Yanchao with a frosty halberd, and said to Li Yi dissatisfiedly: "Since the handsome man is here today, I, Feng Xinyan, want to report this wolf-hearted thief." ”

"What? This ......", Li Yi looked at Feng Xinyan in surprise, this sudden sudden change, but I don't know why, Li Yi didn't know what to do for a while.

But Feng Xinyan gritted her teeth and continued: "Five years ago, when I was only fourteen years old, when I was hunting with my father in the mountains, I met this bastard by chance. When he saw it, he snatched me up the mountain, so that I was forced to be his wife for five years, how should this account be calculated? ”

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, but they didn't expect that on top of this banquet with Yan Yan Yan and the handsome of Yunnan present, Feng Xinyan would reveal Ran Yanchao's old bottom, and she didn't know what medicine she was selling in her gourd.

But Ran Yanchao sighed when he heard this, and lowered his head in shame.

This Feng Xinyan said amazing words, accusing Ran Yan of robbing the people's daughters by being super strong, and the victim was herself. Although the report is made explicitly, the government also has the right to pursue it.

But on this occasion, how to make people move, Li Yi was speechless for a while.

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, and Ran Yanchao's extremely ashamed performance, Feng Xinyan at this time laughed out loud, and Gegejiao smiled and said, "Don't take it seriously, the little girl is just talking and playing." Hee-hee! Although I was full of reluctance at the beginning, but in the past few years, my man has been really good to me, and he has clear grievances, never bullying the weak, and there is no one who does not praise him for his heroic and righteous deeds, and now I am sincerely following him, and he doesn't want me to leave a step in this life. ”()
