Chapter 587: Officialdom Shakes

In the face of the angry crowd, he was full of anger, he knew that it was not good to use force against the people, so he could only say bitterly: "Folks, please get out of the way, Zhang Jun is a corrupt official, a big corrupt official, the court will not arrest people without evidence, if you don't get out of the way, the official will not be polite!" ā€

The common people are still very afraid of being officials, and when they saw Zeng Bu say this, some people had the heart to retreat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

But Zhang Jun's eyes rolled, and he cried: "Folks, let's go, leave me alone!" Zhang is worthy of heaven and earth, let them kill me, all dynasties and dynasties have always had to die a few loyal ministers and filial sons. For Zhang's sake, everyone has suffered the scourge of power rape, Zhang is sorry for the big guy, I am ashamed of the people! ā€

What Zhang Jun said in his mouth was for everyone's sake, but every sentence was hidden in the edge, constantly pushing the emotions of the people up, fanning the flames, endlessly.

But the people ate this set, and finally some people couldn't stand it anymore, and their eyes were red.

"Lord Zhang was arrested by corrupt officials for the sake of the big guy, and the big guy can't help but talk about his conscience!"

"Yes, let go of Master Zhang!"

"If you don't let Master Zhang go, you won't be allowed to leave!"

"Even a good official like Lord Zhang can't get a good end, and the court is dark!"

……

The common people are full of righteous indignation and the masses are indignant.

The big guy's spearhead is all aimed at Zeng Bu, and he is pointed out by Qianfu, which is really uncomfortable!

Zeng Bu's face was red and white, and his breathing was obviously much shorter.

Zhang Jun was secretly proud, when someone came to arrest him, Zhang Jun was also afraid, but he felt that he was doing things in a hidden way, and he would never leave a handle, and the court took him, just because of the resignation, which annoyed the above, so he sent someone to arrest him.

As long as the matter is made big, everyone knows about it, and there is no way to control it, it is better to kill a few more people, and even if you don't want to let him go, you must let him go.

Zhang Jun has worked as a county magistrate in the local area, and has been a speech official in the Yushitai, and he has always been stable in handling things, not leaking, and taking advantage of the people's feelings, and he is extremely skilled.

He stiffened his neck and roared angrily: "If you want to arrest me, you must arrest me alone, and you are not allowed to harm my family, let alone innocent villagers, otherwise even if you become a ghost, I will not let you go!" ā€

Zeng Bu was so angry that his lips were blue, and he couldn't help but scold: "You shameless official, don't think that no one knows what you do!" Your family is also not clean and must be taken with them! ā€

Zeng Bu was young and vigorous, and with a wave of his hand, he made the soldiers rush forward, trying to separate a road and force them out. At this time, Zhang Jun screamed at the top of his throat.

"Don't hurt the villagers, don't move a finger of the people!"

As soon as he shouted like this, some people mistakenly thought that they were going to do something to them, and some people took weapons such as rolling pins, shovels, and kitchen knives to block the front.

The two sides are tense and on the verge of a touch!

At this time, a group of cavalry suddenly flew in, and the leader was none other than Di Yong, the master of the horses. He came back from the barracks, his father went out of the mountain again, and returned to serve as a privy envoy, Di Yong wanted to go home to celebrate his father, but this situation happened.

Like a gust of wind, he rushed in from outside, and the people all took the initiative to retreat, and someone recognized Di Yong.

Isn't this what the people of the Great Song Dynasty look like!

There were ordinary people who shouted loudly: "Master Ma, I am wronged for Lord Zhang, he is wronged!" ā€

"Yes, Lord Zhang was wronged!"

……

Di Yong didn't care about Master Zhang, he was very familiar with Zeng Bu.

"Lord Zeng, what's going on?"

This time, Zeng Bu was also very embarrassed, and his head was sweating.

"I was ordered to arrest the stolen official Zhang Jun and go to the audit department to pass the court, but who knew that I was blocked here."

Di Yong saw it in his eyes and nodded secretly. He jumped on the horse, stood firmly, and said in a loud voice: "Folks, the imperial court has its own rules of the imperial court, and the big guy can't make trouble!" Let's go to the lobby together and see what's going on, if Master Zhang is really framed, I'll ...... I'll write a letter for him! ā€

The common people don't understand the rules of the court very well, thinking that the master of the horse is a good official, he is willing to help, and when he talks to the old man, there is nothing to do.

So everyone took the initiative to get out of the way, and everyone flocked to the auditor's lobby.

Zeng Bu wiped the sweat from his head, clenched his fists and arched his hands, "I really want to thank Master Ma." ā€

Di Yong leaned in and asked, "Lord Zeng, are you going to kill on a killing spree?" ā€

"Almost!" Zeng Bu nodded.

Di Yong grinned, he had already seen that these big turbans were not pleasing to the eye, so he first went to the audit department to see how he tore off the big turban to disguise it......

Everyone rushed to the audit department, and at this time, several corrupt officials were brought in one after another from other aspects.

Wang Anguo also personally greeted him, Han Jiang did not come for the time being, and he was fully responsible for the audit department. Zeng Bu hurriedly told Zhang Jun about it.

Wang Anguo nodded, "It looks like this is a thorn in the head, let's start with him!" Is your evidence sufficient? ā€

"No problem, I've been staring at him for a long time!"

Zeng Bu gritted his teeth, if Di Yong hadn't appeared just now, he would have to die, Zhang Jun is a good hand at inciting the people, which shows that he is scheming and not an easy character to deal with!

After cleaning up his mood, Zeng Bu looked grim and officially ascended.

He has also worked as a magistrate, and it is common to ask about cases, but this time there are a little more people, and it seems a little messy. Zeng Bu took a deep breath, then slammed the startled wood.

"Take Zhang Jun!"

After a while, Zhang Jun was brought, as an official of the imperial court, Zhang Jun is still very horizontal!

He said coldly: "May I ask my lord, is there a holy decree to remove this official position?" ā€

"There is no conviction, so I have not been dismissed, only suspended."

"Since you are suspended, then please treat the old man in accordance with the laws of the Great Song Dynasty and move a chair for the old man!"

Zhang Jun is neither humble nor arrogant, full of confidence, especially with his eyes open, looking forward to it, as if he has arrived at his own home...... The people who watched the excitement secretly gave a thumbs up, and some even shouted hello!

Just at the tone of Lord Zhang, he is not a corrupt official, he must have been framed, do you see it, the little white face in the hall is not very old, and he looks like a traitorous minister...... Well, the people were sentenced before the trial.

Zeng Bu asked Zhang Jun to move a chair, and after he sat down, Zeng Bu said lightly: "Sinner Zhang Jun, what affairs are you in charge of in the Third Division?" ā€

"Salt and iron!"

"This official asks you, in recent years, why has the price of purchased iron increased by 20% compared with previous years?"

Zhang Jun smiled, "My lord must have just entered the career, right?" In recent years, the imperial court has cast a lot of iron money, and it has to reorganize the army and run the army, and it needs more iron, and the price is expensive, which is human nature, what is there to make a fuss about? ā€

Zeng Bu smiled coldly, "What you said is not the truth, the use of iron has indeed increased over the years, but in Hebei and other places, blast furnaces and open furnaces have appeared, and countless steel have been added every year, because the supply is sufficient, the price of iron has fallen by half in the past three years, but the price of iron purchased by the three divisions is much higher, I'm afraid it doesn't make sense!" ā€

Zhang Jun's face changed slightly, but he still forced his composure and sneered: "There is nothing wrong with what this official has done, if the adult has doubts, just check!" ā€

"Okay, you said that there is nothing wrong, but the official checked all the accounts, and the purchase volume of several iron supervisors in the imperial court has decreased significantly, on the contrary, there are 5 private iron mines, and the purchase volume has doubled, what is the explanation for this?"

Suck!

Zhang Jun was secretly surprised, and said that this audit department is not a rice bucket! Unexpectedly discovered the problem so quickly, he quickly calmed down and sneered: "What's not to understand about this, the iron supervisor of the imperial court has always accumulated many evils, officials and officials protect each other, shoddy, deceive the court money, and waste the people's fat and ointment." Since the accession to the throne, merchants from all over the world have been able to invest in iron smelting, as long as they pay enough taxes and sell a portion of the iron to the imperial court. Folk merchants operate honestly, take care of their own profits and losses, and are strictly self-disciplined, and the iron produced is of excellent quality, which is used to make weapons and armor, all of which are first-class. As an official of the imperial court, I am powerless to eradicate the maladministration of the iron prison, but I also cannot watch the soldiers take inferior weapons and go to the battlefield to die! ā€

Zhang Jun patted his chest and said: "Although Zhang has spent some extra money, Zhang is worthy of his conscience, and the soldiers in front will also be grateful to Zhang...... If the adult is convicted of this, then Zhang would rather die than accept it! ā€

The people were stunned by the awe-inspiring righteousness of this man, and after a moment of silence, some people praised loudly.

"Okay!"

"What a Master Zhang! That's great! ā€

"It's really for the country and the people, and it's iron-hearted!"

……

Listening to the shouts of the people, Zeng Bu's face turned white, he was not forced by Zhang Jun, but remembered Wang Ning'an's words - a hundred years of evil, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are rampant, and the people's grievances are boiling, and they don't believe in the court for a long time.

Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty is different from the previous dynasties, the foundation of the founding of the country is weak, and 40,000 strong enemies look around, if it is not done well, it will be wiped out by the barbarians and aliens, and the national Taoism that has been inherited for thousands of years will be in danger of extinction and overturning!

If there were doubts before, but when he saw that the people were confused by Zhang Jun's words, Zeng Bu really believed it.

"Zhang Jun, this official will let you see whose iron is bad!"

While talking, some soldiers brought up two boxes of weapons, some of which were made by the iron prison, and some of which were made of steel purchased by the people.

There was an errand who took the slash, but the result was that all the weapons made of civil steel were broken, and the iron supervisor made them did not hurt at all!

"Steel is extraordinary, it requires a lot of investment, and the small folk workshops can only produce hoe farm tools! And you can't make weapons! Zhang Jun, you buy garbage at a premium and come back, shoddy, what else is there to say? ā€

"You talk nonsense!" Zhang Jun was angry and roared: "No, absolutely not, the old man is innocent!" The old man will never do anything that hurts the heavens and reason! ā€

"What if I give you 20,000 acres of land?"

Zhang Jun flickered, his confidence was no longer sufficient, "What, what do you mean?" ā€

"Your father-in-law's family received a land deed of 20,000 acres, and now he has been brought, do you want to confront your son-in-law?" Zeng Bu smiled cruelly, and Zhang Jun's face finally collapsed.

……

Zhang Jun's case is just the beginning, in less than a month, the Audit Department has found out more than 20 cases one after another, and won more than 30 corrupt officials, and the officialdom in Xijing shook again!
