Chapter 1223: Murder and Might

readx; Zhu Dadian's face suddenly changed, which caught all the officials off guard. The pen fun and the pavilion www.biquge.infoΒ± the top novel, the prefect spoke, of course they didn't dare to openly disobey, so they had to tie up the head of the team, Xue San. But if they really want to kill Xue San, they don't believe it, and they think that Zhu Dadian may just want to shake the majesty of the old man and give everyone a disadvantage. Therefore, they all knelt down to intercede for Xue San, and they couldn't say anything, it was nothing more than "I thought about Xue San for many years before and after the old lady's saddle".

Unexpectedly, Zhu Dadian rolled his eyelids, picked up a brush and wrote a few sentences, used the prefect's seal, threw down the bamboo stick, and shouted: "Quickly cut!" ”

Everyone panicked and knew that Zhu Dadian was playing real this time. Originally, according to the "Da Ming Law", all condemned prisoners should have been reported to the Criminal Department for review, and finally the emperor could be executed. However, there are several exceptions that can be immediately beheaded by a local magistrate at or above the prefect level without reporting, one of which is a felony who plots rebellion.

Xue San didn't do it now, he was already a scoundrel, and most of the officials in the yamen were his buddies. Usually let the old man scold a few words or even hit him twice, he doesn't care, anyway, he has rough skin and thick meat; But now that Zhu Dadian wants his head, this thing can't be installed anymore if it falls off, how can he be willing to give in easily? Seeing that everyone was stunned on the spot, Xue San jumped three feet high, stared at Zhu Dadian and shouted: "Old lady, you want to kill Xue San like this, Xue San is not convinced!" If you want to talk about rebellion, who didn't rebel a few days ago when the people in the city were full of people, why did the old lady kill me alone? ”

"The first evil must be done." Zhu Dadian smiled sadly, "Others must not have recruited people's daughters for Zhu Changxun." Why, you dogs don't do it yet, do you want me to execute it myself? ”

He asked twice, but the three classes of officials were like wood carvings and clay sculptures, and no one went to frame Xue San. Xue San was fearless, and laughed and said, "Old lady, look at it, everyone thinks that Xue San has been wronged!" According to the small foolish opinion, you still have to take back your life quickly, Xue San promises to follow you to work hard in the future, you let the small one go east, and the small one will never go west..."

There is a reason why Xue San is so arrogant. For a yamen, it is a "iron-clad yamen flowing official", whether it is a seven-pin county or a five-pin prefect, or even a governor or governor, he has to change places as soon as his term of office expires. The government servants are different, although they are not included in the official establishment, and they are nominally a kind of servitude, but they are almost all hereditary.

Because they are the people who directly deal with the common people on behalf of the yamen, for the common people, the high-ranking lord is untouchable, and the officials are the actual manipulators of a county and a government. These people are familiar with the operating rules of the yamen, and often use covert means to deceive the superiors and subordinates, and the so-called "government preymen and common people" are actually mostly taken away by these people. As far as officials are concerned, they have to rely on these officials, because they understand government affairs and have the means, without them, the tax revenue will not come up, and the ground will not be too peaceful, and the officials will naturally have no political achievements and no hope of promotion. Over time, some officials were able to coerce the court officials, and the officials were helpless against them.

This Xue San is one of the typical examples, his ancestors have been the head of the team for several generations, and he is even more black and white on the ground in Luoyang. Several prefects have come and gone, but the wealth of Xue San's family is increasing day by day. Zhu Dadian accepted bribes in office, and many of them were pulled by Xue San, so Xue San also felt that he should be Zhu Dadian's most trusted person.

But after all, he is only a low-level official, how can he guess the mind of an official of this level like Zhu Dadian. Seeing that no one obeyed his orders, Zhu Dadian sneered and said, "It seems that you think that this official can't kill Xue San?" If it were in the past, maybe the official really couldn't help you. But don't forget, now that General Dingnan has just recovered Luoyang, and now the army is short of food and salary, and this official has a heavy responsibility, so he can't do without heavy canons. General Dingnan also expected that your group of slippery officials would not cooperate, so he temporarily allocated 20 officers and soldiers to listen to the call of his own officer. Come on! ”

As soon as the words fell, twenty elite soldiers dressed in their bodies immediately poured in from outside the mansion, and the leader bowed to Zhu Dadian with a fist: "General Dingnan's three thousand battalions and one hundred households Liu Long, see the prefect!" ”

"See the prefect!" The twenty warriors shouted in unison, the sound shook the tile roof, and the majestic momentum suppressed the ruffian spirit of the officials.

Zhu Dadian nodded slightly to Liu Long and said, "There are Lao Liu Baihu and all the soldiers." Just now, this official tried a criminal who conspired against him, and this person is still the head of the official team, and the crime of knowing the law and committing the law is added to the first degree. According to the "Da Ming Law", the official sentenced him to be beheaded immediately to show the public, but the officials had not been on a red business trip for a long time, and they were a little afraid to do it. ”

Liu Long paused and said: "In the last tense, General Dingnan specially ordered: Everything is sent by the prefect. Since the officials are unwilling to do it, the last general should serve himself. ”

As soon as he spoke, the soldiers behind him immediately rushed up to the two, and couldn't help but pick up Xue San and go out. They are all battle-hardened warriors, and Xue San is like carrying a chicken.

Xue San felt that a great calamity was coming, and in extreme fright, he shouted loudly with a crying voice: "Old lady, why don't you miss the old love!" Last year, the lawsuit outside the Nancheng Ding Yuan, the villain didn't deal with it less, Taizun, you got so many benefits..."

Zhu Dadian's face immediately turned the color of pig liver, and he roared loudly: "The traitor dares to talk nonsense when he is dying, and he will be killed quickly!" ”

Xue San's struggles and cries kept coming from outside the lobby, and suddenly the sound stopped abruptly. Liu Long came in and reported: "Lord Prefect, the execution has been completed. ”

All the officials understood that Xue San had really lost his head, and they were all frightened. Zhu Dadian breathed a sigh of relief, the reason why he had to kill Xue San today was that Xue San committed the crime of robbing the people's daughters, killing him could win the favor of the people, in fact, it was to win the favor of the emperor; The second is that he will carry out the emperor's secret order next, collect the grain of the whole city, and the servants under him must absolutely obey the order, and kill Xue San to establish power; The third and most important point is that Xue San knows a lot about his corruption in the past, and Zhu Dadian is a fake public servant today, killing him. If Xue San is smart enough and doesn't talk about old feelings with Zhu Dadian, maybe Zhu Dadian can spare him from dying; But he actually shook out the embarrassment of Zhu Dadian's bribery, and Zhu Dadian had no choice but to kill him.

After killing Xue San, Zhu Dadian looked around at the officials, and said with great coercion in his tone: "Xue San's crime has nothing to do with you. Don't be suspicious, the rewards and punishments are clear, as long as you do your errands well, you can be safe. Do you understand? ”

When the officials saw that Xue San was really beheaded, they were so frightened that their legs and stomachs were facing forward, who would dare not obey orders? When Zhu Dadian saw that the goal was achieved, he stood up and said: "Hurry up and sort out the grain depot at the station, and the capture class and the strong class will go with the official to pay the grain!" ”
