Without the power to adjudicate lawsuits, the number of people who give money to the magistrates will be greatly reduced, and the income of the magistrates will decrease, and the amount of money that the magistrates will send to them will also decrease. In this way www.biquge.info it will affect the promotion of magistrates. When the officials heard Li Zhi's words, their faces were ugly and silent.

The officials wanted to resist, but they were afraid of Li Zhi's methods and did not dare to speak.

Cui Changwu looked around at the magistrates and said with a smile: "You seem to be very embarrassed? ”

After being silent for a long time, Wu Zhiyuan, the county commander of Nanpi County, jumped out. He flicked his sleeves and stood up, and shouted with a thick neck: "Xing Guobo, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents, even if it is Xing Guobo, you can't go too far!" ”

Hearing Wu Zhiyuan's words, several county commanders who had a good relationship with him hurriedly grabbed him. They pushed Wu Zhiyuan back into the chair and begged for mercy: "Uncle is angry, Uncle is angry, Wu Zhiyuan is impulsive, and he is not really against Uncle's court." ”

"Uncle, Wu Zhiyuan also supports Uncle's court! He was wrong for a moment! ”

Wu Zhiyuan pushed away the other magistrates who were holding him, and said loudly: "I can't stand this nest!" first robbed me of my taxes, and then robbed me of my rights, what else do I do to know the county? ”

He shouted at Li Zhi: "I don't allow the court to be set up in Nanpi County!" ”

Li Zhi looked at Wu Zhiyuan coldly, and said lightly: "Wu Zhiyuan, do you know what you're talking about?" ”

Wu Zhiyuan said loudly: "Li Zhi, take one of your lives, I'm also old, it's a big deal to be killed by you!" The world will also pass on my reputation for rebelling against Li Zhi! ”

Hearing Wu Zhiyuan's words, Li Zhi said coldly: "Want a good name? Smiling, Li Zhi said, "Let's read the newspaper tomorrow!" ”

After Li Zhi said this, he stopped talking to these magistrates and left the second hall with his back hand. Cui Changwu looked at the governors and counties who were looking at each other, followed Li Zhi's pace, and also walked out.

In the second hall, all the officials looked at Wu Zhiyuan, as if they were looking at a prisoner who had been sentenced to death.

Wu Zhiyuan's face was red and white, and he was speechless.

The next day, in the teahouse in the county seat of Nanpi County, the newspaper reader read aloud in the crowd of people who gathered several floors: "Headlines on the front page! "Wu Zhiyuan of Nanpizhi County accepted more than 20,000 taels from the gentry in three years to help them evade taxes. 》”

The prefectural order of this county takes bribes? When the onlookers heard such exciting news, they pricked up their ears one by one and listened carefully.

"Wu Zhiyuan of Nanpizhi County, who has been in office in Nanpizhi County for three years, is dedicated to making money. During his three years in office, he received more than 20,000 taels in bribes, a huge and shocking amount. ”

"From May last year to May this year, Wu Zhiyuan, the county magistrate, collected 7,200 taels from 38 gentry including the Liang family in Gouziwei, the Xue family in Xuejia Village, and the Wang family in Guoheling, trying to exempt all these gentry from paying land taxes. However, after Xingguobo rectified the tax system and filled in the gaps, all the 38 gentry paid their taxes in full. Wu Zhiyuan was helpless and returned all the seven thousand two hundred taels of silver! ”

When the masses who listened to the newspaper heard such astonishing news, they were dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.

Xingguobo's newspaper is also too powerful. Such a dirty matter published in Ren Zhixian County, wouldn't it make Wu Zhiyuan's official unable to continue?

Although there are basically few good officials in the Ming Dynasty, nine out of ten are corrupt officials. But all the officials of the Ming Dynasty want to be face-saving, on the surface, all of them are from a dignified background, and when they stand up and speak, they are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and they are all models of Shilin.

If things in private are poked out like this, wouldn't you want to become a scumbag? Not to mention that Xingguo Bo wants to deal with him, under the turbulent public opinion, I am afraid that the gentry must first clean up the door, and reject and resist Wu Zhiyuan for the sake of Shilin's face.

The tea guests in the teahouse were about to listen carefully, but suddenly heard a commotion outside. On the street, it seems that a group of green skins came over and wanted to go to the teahouse to make trouble.

The magistrate colluded with the green skin boss to smash the teahouse in the county? Let the news of his bribery not get out?

The tea guests were nervous, but when they saw those green skins walking to the door of the teahouse, they all stopped at once. They seemed to see a natural enemy in the teahouse, and dispersed with a bang.

The tea guests took a closer look, only to find that at a table at the door of the teahouse, I don't know when there were already five soldiers of the Xingguo Bohu Division. The GIs were wearing Fanjiazhuang military uniforms and sat there leisurely, as if they were enjoying the green tea in the teahouse, as if they didn't see the green skin outside at all.

Fanjiazhuang's soldiers can fight three green skins each, and they can fight five with swords in their hands. The five GIs are sitting here, where is there a green skin who dares to come up and make trouble?

The green skin dispersed, and the tea guests listening to the newspaper looked at each other, and then looked at the young people reading the newspaper.

The young man licked his lips and read again: "Wu Zhiyuan snatched a people's daughter as a concubine fourteen years ago, and his face is outrageous."

"Fourteen years ago, when Wu Zhiyuan was the magistrate of Yongxiu County, Jiangxi, he coveted the beauty of a private woman, used despicable means to cause people to go bankrupt, and finally forced the husband of the folk girl to sell his wife to pay off his debts. Wu Zhiyuan was no longer confused at that time, and he still shamelessly spent seventy taels to buy a twenty-three-year-old folk girl as a concubine. ”

Hearing this exciting news, the tea customers in Nanpi County turned red one by one and were very excited. This news has spread, and Wu Zhiyuan's Zhixian can't be done! After listening to the newspaper reader's reading, everyone turned their heads to look at the two talents in the teahouse.

The two showmen were wearing square scarves and cocooned silk, obviously the children of the gentry, sitting in the teahouse drinking tea. The two showmen passed the county test in the hands of Wu Zhiyuan, and Wu Zhiyuan was their teacher. Hearing Wu Zhiyuan's news at this time, the two of them turned red, and they were not embarrassed to sit there.

When everyone looked at them, they were already embarrassed, and the two of them covered their faces with their sleeves, threw down a few copper plates and escaped from the teahouse.

Seeing that the two Wu Zhiyuan's "students" were so embarrassed, the tea guests were very happy and laughed.

The newspaper reader shook his head and smiled, and continued reading.

Today's Tianjin Daily seems to have been printed for Wu Zhiyuan, with a large number of articles attacking Wu Zhiyuan. There are still Wu Zhiyuan's dirty things down there, and the newspaper reader read them one by one.

""Wu Zhiyuan Chongzhen used a lawsuit to blackmail Xu Rongyi, a silk businessman, and extorted 500 gold..."

"Wu Zhi Yuannan Pi served as an official for three years, and spent 1,193 taels in the Jade Building of the Tianjin Acropolis Brothel..."

The newspaper reader was reading when there was a sudden shouting sound outside the teahouse. Everyone turned their heads and saw more than a dozen officials dragging Wu Zhiyuan's flag and carrying Wu Zhiyuan's sedan chair to the county government quickly.

The flag that should have been held high fell to the ground and dragged it as if it were dragging a burden, and the official who should have swaggered and carried the water and fire stick was like a lost dog, extremely embarrassed.

Behind the sedan chair, dozens of Xiucai and Tongsheng from the county chased Wu Zhiyuan's sedan chair with large stones and threw it, and shouted loudly:

"Crush Wu Zhiyuan to death!"

"Shoot him!"

"Kill this Shilin scum."

In the Ming Dynasty, dirty things could be done, but they could not be spoken. Wu Zhiyuan is the head of Nanpi Shilin, his filthy behavior has been exposed, and the scholars of Nanpi are all ashamed. The young and vigorous Xiucai and Tongsheng rolled up their sleeves and began to attack Wu Zhiyuan and clean up the portal.

The children and teenagers playing on the road saw this scene so interesting, and they also picked up stones and smashed Wu Zhiyuan's sedan chair. The stones kept flying towards Wu Zhiyuan's sedan chair. The sedan chairmen carrying Wu Zhiyuan ran fast, like a defeated army, and fled to the county office.
