Chapter 226: Punishing Corrupt Officials
"I'm also an official of the imperial court, you dare to insult me, come here, take it down for me, even if it makes trouble to Your Majesty, I have a reason!"
Zhong Zhifu was reprimanded by Qin Tian like this, what kind of face did he have, although Qin Tian might be the son of a national prince? There are also people above him.
"Are you sure you're going to arrest me?" Qin Tian hugged his arms and looked at Zhong Zhifu playfully.
"Someone, take him down quickly!" Zhong Zhifu shouted directly.
"Bold, I think who dares to arrest my son-in-law?" The second dog stopped in front of Qin Tian at this time and glared angrily.
"The little minion also dared to stop the official from handling the case and arrested him together." Governor Zhong ordered.
"My lord, it's none of their business, if you want to arrest us, arrest us!" Seeing that Qin Tian was in danger, the three old men immediately began to exonerate Qin Tian.
"The old man hurry up, don't ask this dog official, his good days are coming to an end." Qin Tian helped the old man up.
"Lord Prefect, where are you making trouble?"
Governor Zhong was so humiliated by Qin Tian in public, his face suddenly changed, and just as he was about to get angry, a voice came from the door of Shen Mansion.
At this time, Shen Wansan walked out of the house, and when he came to Zhong Zhifu's side, the moment he saw Qin Tian's face, Shen Wansan was stunned!
"You, you, are you Your Majesty?"
Shen Wansan asked with a trembling voice.
When everyone heard Shen Wansan call His Majesty Qin Tian, everyone was stupid! Especially the prefect of Zhong was even more stunned at this time.
"Your Majesty. Your Majesty, Your Majesty? Zhong Zhifu felt that Qin Tian was extraordinary from the beginning, but he didn't expect Qin Tian to be the current saint, thinking of this, his back was cold sweat, his legs were weak, and he knelt down directly.
"I didn't expect to recognize my identity!" Qin Tian said.
After everyone saw Qin Tian admit his identity, everyone immediately knelt down and began to bow to Qin Tian!
Since the abolition of the agricultural tax, Qin Tian has also improved the status of merchants, and now he is very much loved by the people, and Qin Tian is also the most ideal good emperor in their minds.
"Let's all get up, I am a private visit today, so I don't need to be polite." Qin Tian said to the people around him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone thanked them, stood up, and stood in front of Qin Tian excitedly.
"Governor Zhong, did I get you up?" Qin Tian saw that Governor Zhong also stood up, so he reprimanded.
When Governor Zhong heard this, he immediately knelt down again, trembling all over.
Qin Tian ignored Prefect Zhong, but smiled at Shen Wansan and asked, "How did you recognize me?" ”
"The grass people are fortunate to have seen His Majesty's dragon face at the auction!" Shen Wansan bent down and replied.
"I see!" Qin Tian nodded!
At this time, the three old men standing beside Qin Tian looked at Qin Tian even more stupidly.
"Gongzi Qin, are you really the current saint?" An old man asked in surprise.
"That's right, old man, I am indeed the saint of today!" Qin Tian nodded and replied.
"Your Majesty, please call the shots for Chuzhi County?" At this time, the three old men knelt down with tears of joy and said.
"Three old men, get up quickly, I said I would help you, and I will definitely do it." Qin Tian said soothingly.
At this time, everyone had already come to the yamen of the prefect of Hangzhou.
Qin Tian sat at the top, the catchers stood aside, and knelt down to worship one person, it was Zhong Shiren, the prefect of Hangzhou.
Qin Tian looked at Zhong Shiren and said coldly, "Zhong Shiren, are you guilty?" ”
Zhong Shiren panicked: "The lower officials don't know, the lower officials don't know." ”
Qin Tian was shocked at this time, and said: "As a prefect of one party, you don't do things for the people, this is a crime, you are corrupt and bribery, at this time, second, third, you framed Zhongliang for the sake of one person's selfishness, you don't know the crime?" ”
Zhong Shiren cried and mourned, thinking: It's over!
At this time, the second dog led the catcher to the inner courtyard to search, received a large box, and then moved the box to the court.
The second dog swings the mouth of the box outward, opens, the box is dazzling, emitting brilliance, only to see the gold inside is fine and soft, gold, silver, jewelry, jade agate, everything, the small box can hold so many things, just like the treasure chest, it is breathtaking.
The people outside were dumbfounded, when had they seen so much gold, silver and jewelry, the scene was silent, and the sound of heartbeat could almost be heard.
And Zhong Shiren's ashamed sweat rained down.
Qin Tian snorted coldly and said, "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, what I am talking about is a moth like you!" ”
The people outside the door came to their senses and scolded Zhong Shiren angrily.
Qin Tian waved his right hand and said, "Pull out the yamen and behead the public." ”
Catch Zhong Shiren's body left and right, and drag it out!
Zhong Shiren shouted: "Your Majesty, the lower officials are wronged, you can't behead me, Your Majesty is wronged..." ”
The crowd sighed!
Qin Tian was a little impatient when he heard this, waved his hand to the officers and soldiers on the left and right, and said, "Hmph, if you don't repent, pull it out and cut it." ”
With a scream, the evil official was already in a different place.
Although the people were scared after seeing it, they all applauded.
Qin Tian stood up, walked outside the county yamen, and said to the people: "Zhong Shiren has been a common man for many years, wait a minute, I will send someone to empty Zhong Shiren's mansion and give it all to everyone." ”
The common people cheered.
The three old men walked to Qin Tian's side at this time and knelt down again: "Your Majesty, please be the master of our Chuzhi County?" A good official like him can't be buried! ”
Qin Tian nodded and said, "It can be seen from your petition that this Chu Moxuan is definitely a good official who does things for the people. ”
"Yes, Chuzhi County is definitely a good official." The three old men nodded and said.
"Come on, spread Chu Moxuan to see me." Qin Tian shouted.
Zhong Shiren is dead, his home has also been raided, and the lively yamen is much more empty for a while.
Qin Tian asked the soldiers, "How many people are there in Hangzhou City?" ”
The soldier responded: "About half a million people. ”
Qin Tian nodded, and then asked, "How many soldiers are there?" ”
The soldier said, "There are thirty of them." ”
Qin Tian raised his head and counted silently, and said, "Why are there only twenty-two people?" Eight less. ”
The soldiers glanced at Qin Tian and said softly: "Your Majesty doesn't know, the soldiers usually don't have anything to do, so they don't even come." ”
Qin Tian nodded slowly and said, "Since you didn't come, don't let them come in the future, there will be twenty-two of you in the future." ”
"Yes."
Qin Tian asked, "What's your name?" ”
The soldier said, "My name is Zhang Hui." ”
Qin Tian said: "In the future, you will be responsible for the security of Hangzhou City, is it okay?" ”
Zhang Hui immediately knelt on the ground and said, "The villain must do his best to do his best." ”
Qin Tian asked Zhang Hui, "Get up!" How much money do you pay now? ”
"1 per month."
"In the future, five times a month, we must handle the security of Hangzhou City."
Zhang Hui opened his mouth wide, he couldn't believe it, in the blink of an eye, his salary was five times higher, and he was promoted, and he said with joy: "Your Majesty will never be disappointed." ”
Qin Tian waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me first, if I hear that you are an unkind official in the future, your fate will be worse than Zhong Shiren!" ”
Surprisingly, Zhang Hui was not afraid, but nodded confidently, and said: "I am from a poor people, and I will definitely make decisions for my father and fellow villagers!" ”
Qin Tian nodded with satisfaction.
Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious is Qin Tian's employment characteristics, Zhang Hui was the first to stand up and arrest Zhong Shiren before, so Qin Tian was more impressed by him.
Appreciated by Qin Tian and received a generous salary, the rest of the officials cast envious and jealous glances at Zhang Hui.
"Zhang Hui's salary is five taels, and how about the rest of the soldiers' salaries be raised to three taels for you?"
The soldiers were overjoyed and bowed down one after another.
