In the Houya study, Sanniang's face was pale, and she only stared at Li Kui and shouted, "Are you still in the cottage?" Now that you are a parent and an official, you want to benefit the people, weren't we forced to desperate by the government when we went to Liangshan? Now that he has become an official and governed one side, do you still have to defend his subordinates who have committed serious crimes for the sake of his own righteousness? Let the people below follow the path we did back then? ”

Li Kui was smuggling for a long time, scratching his head and ears, but he didn't know how to speak, Sanniang threw Shi Meng's confession and file on the ground and said, "Zhu Wu, read it out and listen to Tie Niu!" At that moment, Zhu Wulang read it aloud, the case is not complicated, Shi Meng is used to deceiving the upper and lower and acting recklessly, and a cadre in the underground is obstructing it, so he embezzles the disaster relief money and grain, and plans to conceal the money and grain collected in the summer to fill his own pockets, but all kinds of transgressions are pleaded guilty and detained, and there is no difference.

The more Li Kui listened, the more angry he became, at first he didn't know what Shi Meng had done, but at this time he understood, and he was immediately angry like a bullfight, and after Zhu Wu finished reading, Li Kui sighed, stood up, and said loudly: "Sister-in-law, it's Tie Niu who is confused, this Shi Meng has broken his conscience, and he actually did such an evil thing, I Tie Niu will cut him now!" ”

Saying this, Sanniang was even more angry, and shouted: "He has violated the law, and he has his own national law to deal with it, and he wants you to carry out the death penalty?" You're still the one in the cottage! Zhu Wu hurriedly pulled Li Kui on the side, and then arched his hand: "Lord, Tie Niu has an upright temperament, but he is just angry for a while. ”

Sanniang's chest rose and fell, obviously angry to the extreme, she took a deep breath, and said slowly: "It turns out that I thought it was too simple, just arrange for your brothers to be officials, with more scribes, and advise from the sidelines, so that you can rest easy." Now it seems that from the bottom of your hearts, the brothers have not twisted this tendon, and their heads are still pretending to be the same as in the cottage back then, only talking about happiness and enmity, there is no law at all! ”

Zhu Wu and Li Kui both bowed their heads and lowered their hands, not daring to answer, Sanniang gritted her teeth and said: "Postpone the sentence of Shi Meng and the others for a few days, and immediately send an order to teach the heads of states and counties to come to Dongping Mansion and watch the punishment together!" Zhu Junshi, Shi Meng's errand in Dongping Mansion, you handle it first, and then select someone to make up for it! ”

Zhu Wu and Li Kui responded, and went down on their own errands. After a while, Zhu Wu turned back and reported: "The carrier pigeons in all the states and counties have been released, so wait a few days before they can be gathered." ”

Sanniang hummed softly, supported herself with one hand, and sighed: "Master Zhu, do you say I did the right thing?" Zhu Wulang said: "The lord has just opened Zhenshan Road, and he is in charge of one party at the beginning, and if he wants to establish a strong foothold, he naturally wants to win the trust of the people." If the decree issued by the Lord cannot be carried out, it is suspected of deceiving the people, and over time, the people will not believe in us, and even the best decree will not be carried out. Therefore, dealing with Shi Meng is the way to win trust, and there is nothing wrong with it. ”

After a pause, Zhu Wubai fell to the ground and said: "It's just Shi Meng's matter, it can be said that it is his own fault, but the secretary I am in charge of is also at fault." In the past, when the officials of various ministries took office, they told the law, but they did not make up their minds, and many officials only stayed on the text as the lord said, and they were not as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as righteousness. Thinking about it, Shi Meng's matter, my secretary also has a great responsibility, and Shi Meng also has the pity of not teaching and punishing. ”

Sanniang waved her hand and said: "You don't have to take all the blame on you, I also have something wrong, I was too anxious, and as a result, this hot tofu was hot." In the past, although the cottage had a law, but it was not as strict as the current law, and we want to win the trust of the people, and the brothers will follow the law ten times or a hundred times stricter than the cottage. It's because I thought it was simple, and I also said that all brothers can be enlightened, and put the righteousness of brothers after the regulation of the law, but now it seems that everyone's mind is still righteousness first, and it is not possible to go on like this. ”

Zhu Wudao: "If this is not the case, take advantage of the fact that the heads of the military generals and officials of all the prefectures and counties have come to Dongping, and when the punishment is over, I will ask the chief officials of the prefectures and counties to stay, and the deputies will go back to perform their duties first." The remaining officials were all invited to Jeju and gathered together to give lectures for three months, only talking about the general righteousness of the state and the righteousness of private people, hoping that there would be improvement. ”

Sanniang bowed slightly, and after a moment of silence, she stood up and said categorically: "Since you want to do it, you will do it thoroughly, and simply have a campaign to rectify the cottage atmosphere from top to bottom." What you said is feasible, the chief officer stays, and the deputy goes back to act for official business, and after the chief officer has completed the three-month intensive teaching, the chief officer goes back, and then changes the deputy. And every time after the teaching, you must take the exam, and only if you pass the exam can you go back to work! And not only the heads of state and county officials, officials at all levels, generals, and officials of all sizes must take turns to carry out a three-month concentrated teaching, and the Department of Officials should intensify their efforts to handle this matter, and it is best to make it a household name, and the laws and regulations will be engraved and printed into a book, and widely distributed, and the yamen of all prefectures and counties, the generals and soldiers of all battalions, and the non-commissioned officers of all prefectures and counties, after the completion of official business and training, must take an hour of effort every day to come out, gather together, and recite the laws and regulations, so that the spirit of the rule of law must be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people! ”

Zhu Wu sighed: "What the lord thinks, it is even larger, Zhu Wu bows to it." Sanniang said: "When you issue this decree, you must emphasize that this rectification campaign is carried out in various places, don't think about fooling the past, I will send people to search and investigate, whether it is open or dark, there will be people who are monitored, if anyone dares to disobey the yang and the yin, just go through the motions, and wait for the supervised people to report it, and they will be severely punished!" ”

At that moment, Zhu Wu responded, and after the two discussed some details, Zhu Wu got up to say goodbye, and when he walked to the door, Zhu Wu couldn't help but turn around and said: "Lord, it's good to emphasize the law, but all the brothers were born and died, and they were too affectionate, and they were only afraid of chilling the hearts of the brothers." ”

Sanniang was slightly stunned, and then said, "Don't worry, I know what to do." Zhu Wu took his leave and left. Sanniang muttered to herself: "Well, tears cut the horse." ”

Ten days later, the heads of military states, prefectures and counties, generals and officials arrived, Lu Junyi, Gongsun Sheng and others also arrived in Dongping Mansion.

During the banquet, Sanniang raised her glass and said: "All the brothers are now serving as officials, benefiting one party, and they are all burdened with a thousand pounds. The military and civilian population under his administration can range from 100,000 to 1,000, and all of them are words and deeds, which can determine the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people, and the stakes are of great importance. ”

Shunei Guan Sheng said: "What the lord said is very true, and he feels that his shoulders are heavy, so Xiao Ke is cautious in his words and deeds in office, and he does not dare to slack off in the slightest." Sanniang smiled and said: "General Guan is now a pacification envoy of a state, so it is naturally good to be able to act like this." But what if one day, it is General Guan's affectionate praise or Hao Siwen makes a mistake? ”

Guan Sheng glanced at Xuanzan and Hao Siwen, and was speechless for a while, and said in a hurry: "Naturally, the country's law comes first, if you can't do it, you can't win the trust of the people, if someone close to you commits a crime, but we cover it up, then what is the difference between our actions and those traitors like Cai Jing and Gao Yu?" ”

Everyone's hearts were shocked, and Sanniang praised: "That's exactly what I said, if we don't act according to the law and only talk about human kindness and righteousness, how is it different from Cai Jing's traitorous ministers?" After a pause, Sanniang told Shi Meng about it, and all the generals were taken aback, Guan Sheng said: "I have heard of this person, he is a fierce general under the Tieniu brothers, and I can't imagine that he is so bold." ”

Sanniang said: "This Shi Meng made a mistake by himself, and he had nothing to do with others, but after the incident, the people around him didn't want to correct it, but blindly shielded him." Shi Meng is just an example, I think if I don't correct it as soon as possible, I am afraid that it will be difficult to return, and it will be difficult to rectify it in the future. ”

After a pause, Sanniang continued: "Therefore, this time, please come to watch the punishment, and teach you to go back to tell the generals and soldiers at all levels that my Shandong Road is the first according to the law, and all personal feelings and kindness are not greater than the laws and regulations." The second is that the Ministry of Civil Affairs will issue a decree, that is, to carry out a campaign to rectify the cottage atmosphere on the Shandong Road, and in the future, we can talk about the kindness and righteousness of our people, but we must give priority to the law and cannot be overcome! ”

All the generals and officials got up to receive the order, and then Zhu Wu read out this decree, and all the generals and officials bowed to the order.

The next day, Zhu Wu set up a platform in Cao in Dongpingfu City, and the generals of the capital sect were present. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Meng, Xin Jiu and other prisoners were escorted to the scene. A few days ago, Li Kui personally went to see Shi Meng in prison, and after saying a word, Shi Meng knew that he was guilty, and when he arrived at the stage, he only knelt and kowtowed to Sanniang on the stage, cried loudly, and kowtowed to death.

Sanniang got up, personally went down to the stage, helped Shi Meng, and cried loudly: "Since I went to Liangshanbo, big and small brothers, I have never broken one." Today, all the brothers are officials, so they have to govern one side and benefit the other, and we can't wait for an inch, and everything is regulated by law. Although your strength has not been extinguished, you can't make the old character. ”

The stone cried violently: "The villain knows that he is guilty, but he just dies, and he doesn't blame anyone." Sanniang wept, ordered a large jar of wine, and ordered someone to untie Shi Meng, so that he drank bitterly. The stone raised the wine jar fiercely, drank a trickle in one breath, and was drunk unconscious, Sanniang wept at this time, and ordered Cai Qing, a flower in the knife, to personally handle the knife, and two soldiers served, and Shi Meng was beheaded in front of the city Cao, in front of the people and generals. Then the head came to order a day, and at night ordered someone to collect the corpse, cooperate in one place, prepare the coffin for storage, and order the person to bury it without mentioning it.

When the generals of Liangshan saw it, they all wept, and they were also vigilant in their hearts, and they must not make mistakes. Li Kui even cried and fainted in front of Shi Cao, and Sanniang taught people to carry him down and settle down. The rest of the wicked people such as Xin Jiu naturally did not have such treatment as being drunk and executed, and they were all taken to the city Cao, and then they were all beheaded for public display. When all the people saw this, no one applauded and applauded, and they only said that the female Xuanfu made the law strict, and they did not dare to speak lightly about trying the law.

Then Sanniang instructed Zhu Wu to send the relief money and grain, and posted a list to exempt the summer harvest of grain, and for a time there was a thunderous call inside and outside Dongping Mansion.

In the place where the people happily received relief rice and grain, not far from the tea shed, a man and a woman looked like two businessmen, and after seeing it, the man said: "It is worthy of being a famous man in the rivers and lakes. The woman's eyes flashed and she said, "I'll meet her tonight." (To be continued.) )
