Chapter 163: Cutting Through the Mess with a Quick Knife (2)
"Back to the little prince, except for a small part of the data slightly discrepancy, it is generally correct, the lower official has completed the revision of all the data, please make it clear to the little prince!"
Under the "affectionate" gaze of so many people, even if Zhang Cun was bold, he couldn't help but shudder, he really didn't dare to stay in front of everyone for long, and he reported the results of the inspection quickly and urgently, just a few words, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were already flowing down like spring water.
"Well, hand it over!"
Don't look at Hongqing's calm face, in fact, he is also nervous in his heart, not for anything else, just because the verification results are too important, if it is really a big mistake, it will inevitably give Liangzhu and others an excuse to fight back, and the huge momentum that was finally created is afraid that it will inevitably collapse, but fortunately, all this has not happened, at this time, Hongqing's spirit is coming, although it has not been brought to the face, but the essence in the eyes can not be concealed.
"Wow!"
As soon as he heard Hongqing's order, Liu San'er, who was standing on the side, didn't dare to delay a little, hurriedly responded, rushed to Zhang Cun's side, took the booklet he was holding in his hand, and ran back to Hongqing's side.
"Lady Liang, there should be no objections this time, huh?"
Hongqing stretched out his hand and took the booklet, flipped through it casually, and didn't look closely, so he squinted at Liangzhu who was standing on the side, and slowly began to speak officially.
"Hmmm......"
was so cleaned by Hongqing, Liangzhu couldn't get off the stage when he boarded, and he had the heart to scold his mother, but how could he dare to go crazy on such occasions, so he could only make a sound of unknown meaning.
"Well, since Lord Liang has no objection, Ben Beizi will follow the script."
The initiative was already in his hands, and Hongqing didn't care whether Liangzhu was happy or not, he smiled and fixed the matter, and then cleared his throat and read out solemnly: "Liangzhu, the governor of Hecao, has a deficit of 378,752 taels in his name, 364,752 taels in office, and 14,300 taels of private treasury silver; Vice President He Chen Qidong, who privately borrowed 4,000 taels of treasury silver under his name; Vice President Hesun Qisheng ......; Cao Si Taoist Mar Sai, with a deficit of 63,000 taels under his name, 11,000 taels of treasury silver privately in his name, and a deficit of 52,000 taels in office, Lu Lu, a Taoist from Shannan, ......"
There are a lot of lists in the booklet, although they are only some total numbers, and there are no detailed rules, but they can really be read out, but it is not a few words to finish, almost a stick of incense time, Hongqing can be regarded as reading out all the deficits of more than 100 officials in the size of the Hecao Yamen, fortunately, I have been used to reading books for many years, but I will not be tired to the point of being out of breath, but it is inevitable that my mouth will be dry, so I have to grab the tea bowl on the copy, take a big sip, and my throat is slightly moistened.
"Lord Liang, my lords, do you have any objections to the results of this inspection?"
After recovering his breath, Hongqing didn't care how ugly the faces of the officials of the Hecao Yamen were, looked around at everyone, and said an official sentence again.
“……”
A group of officials are not fools, as early as when they heard the news of the debt, they have secretly calculated the debts owed by their own families, and they have counted them in their hearts, and compared with the amount announced by Hongqing, they also understand that it is basically correct, even if there is, it is just a difference of a few taels of money, and it is not worth thinking about it at all, of course, even if you want to calculate, you have to have the courage to do it, and jump out at this time, isn't it caught by Hongqing as a target, no one is willing to do such stupid things, so, in the face of Hongqing's official tone, Everyone tacitly chose to remain silent.
"Very good, since the princes have no objections, then we will move on to the next topic, Huang Ma Fa has a will here, and it is clear that the deficit must be cleared in the day, and the princes should have no objection to this, huh?"
A group of Hecao officials can pretend to be wood carving clay sculptures, but Hongqing didn't pay attention to so many at all, just when everyone's silence was acquiescence, he talked to himself, and took out the holy decree and waved it a few times, which was a posture of overwhelming people with power.
“……”
Hongqing's question is still very tricky, saying that there is an objection, that is not complying with the decree, saying that there is no objection, then good, pay back the money, it is not possible to say left and right, simply, the big guy kept silent again, of course, it is inevitable to roll his eyes in private.
"Very good, it is said that the Hecao Yamen is difficult, Ben Beizi doesn't see it that way, all the princes are capable of the court, since they should understand the difficulties of the court, today, Ben Beizi is ordered to pay off the debt, and he has to come up with a charter, so it's good, it's a time limit of ten days, and all the deficits will be paid off in one piece, if there is no objection, it will be decided."
Rolling his eyes and a piece of meat is missing, how can he turn it over, as long as he doesn't go against the tune, as for what the officials felt in their hearts, Hongqing ignored it, and praised the officials of Hecao with a smile, and the big stick was already picked up, and unceremoniously knocked all the officials with a bang.
"Qiqi little prince, the lower officials think it is impossible!"
As soon as Hongqing's cruel words came out, the officials below could no longer remain silent, and after a commotion, one person stood up and raised his voice against it.
"Oh? What advice does Lord Lu have? ”
As soon as Hongqing saw this person, he immediately recognized his origin, and it was just Lu Lu, a Shannan Taoist under the prince's door, and his eyes immediately narrowed, but he didn't get mad, he just looked at Lu Lu with interest, and then asked unhurriedly.
"Back to the words of the little prince, although there is a deficit of 100,000 in the appointment of the lower officials, it is not caused by the first term of the lower officials, but the backlog of successive officials, how can the lower officials survive, and the little prince is invited to discuss this matter with the previous ones."
Lu Lu is a member of the Han Army, Kangxi was born in the 36th year of Jinshi, because by chance, he won the appreciation of the prince, and was transferred to the East Palace as a subordinate official.
"Yes, little prince, it's not that we don't want to pay it back, it's really because this debt is caused by previous appointments, how can we pay it off alive, and ask the little prince to take back his life."
"Lord Lu is reasonable, this matter is not caused by us, how can you ask us to pay off the debt, is there any heavenly reason?"
"That's it, even if we want to pay it back, we can't pay it back, how can we bear this kind of chaos!"
……
With Lu Lu taking the lead, the group of officials below immediately followed the commotion, and the gossip was endless, and although Liangzhu did not speak, a sneer at the corner of his mouth had already indicated his attitude, and when the officials saw this, they made a little more trouble, and the entire hall suddenly became noisy as if it was boiling, and the situation was obviously in danger of getting out of control.
Hey, I know you're going to make a fuss, okay, then make a big fuss!
The officials below are already boiling in the sky, but Hongqing is good, he doesn't care at all, the old god is sitting on the ground and not moving, just let the officials make a fuss like watching a play.
"Little prince, this is a big matter, do you want to discuss it another day?"
Seeing the commotion coming and going, Hongqing was unmoved, and the officials were a little uncontrollable, and the noise gradually subsided, and they all turned their eyes to Liangzhu, poor Liangzhu was forced to have no choice, so he had to stand up from the side and discuss with Hongqing.
Some other day? Under this change, the daylily is cold, this kind of debt-paying thing, what you want is to cut the mess quickly, if it is really delayed, then all the work ahead will not be in vain, this point, Hongqing has a lot in his heart, and how can he follow Liangzhu's meaning, but Hongqing is not in a hurry to answer, but sat upright without saying a word, looking at Liangzhu with a smile, and saw that Liangzhu had goosebumps all over his body. can only stubbornly look at Hongqing endlessly.
"Hehe, it's funny, it's so funny!"
As soon as he saw that the two giants above had a lawsuit, the officials below did not dare to make any more trouble, and the noise had stopped unconsciously, and in the dead silence, Hongqing suddenly applauded and said something unbelievable.
"Huh? What does the little prince mean by this, the officials don't know, and ask the little prince to make it clear. ”
Liangzhu was being stared at by Hongqing uncomfortably, and when he heard Hongqing say this, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he said a question with displeasure.
"Lord Liang, you are an old minister of the court, you should be familiar with the laws of the Qing Dynasty, then this Beizi is a little unclear, the law of my dynasty clearly stipulates that the deficit must be clarified when the predecessor and the predecessor are handed over, otherwise, it will be regarded as the successor acquiescing to this deficit, according to the rules of the court, which one should pay off this deficit, huh?"
Hongqing didn't care about Liangzhu's questioning tone at all, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he asked in a cold voice.
"This ......"
The provisions of the law are obvious facts, even if Liangzhu can, it is categorically impossible to deny, but if you really want to admit it like this, it is obviously not the result that Liangzhu is happy to see, and in desperation, Liangzhu had to shake his head with a wry smile.
"It doesn't matter if Lord Liang can't answer, Lord Lu has the word law in his name, and he thinks he has a soft spot for the law, so please ask Lord Lu to give Ben Beizi an answer."
Hongqing waited for a while, and saw that Liangzhu had nothing to answer, so he didn't hold on to it anymore, but turned the muzzle of the gun and aimed at Lu Lu, who had made the most trouble before, although the tone was peaceful, but the gloomy meaning inside couldn't be concealed, so shocked that all the officials couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Lu Lu, didn't see how miserable Chen Minxin's fate was, I really don't know how Lu Lu's ending will be.
