Chapter 973: Cocooning and Binding Yourself
The case of the Xu family is not complicated, and if you are willing to work hard, anyone can find out, let alone an official like Hai Rui. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
How to deal with the trouble, Gui Youguang said tentatively: "Lord Zhongcheng, what do you mean?" β
Hai Rui was eating steamed buns and drinking brown rice porridge, and said vaguely while drinking: "Deal with it impartially, and tomorrow will go to the court to ask the case, and give the people of Songjiang justice." β
Hai Rui divided five by two, finished eating, and looked up, but found that Gui Youguang's facial features were the same as buns, all shrunk into eighteen folds, and he was bitter and hateful.
"Zhenchuan Gong, could it be that there is something at home?"
"Xiaguan is fine, I'm worried that something will happen to the adults!" Gui Youguang lowered his voice, "I said Lord Zhongcheng, Xu Jie, who has been a bachelor for more than ten years, a first-aided student for five years, a protΓ©gΓ© and a former official, all over the world." is different from Yan Fenyi, on the day of Xu Jie's reign, he was widely gracious, and all the officials owed Xu Huating affection, even if their family was at fault, a small punishment was enough, and the people of the world would not say anything about adults, if they were openly promoted to interrogation, the face of the Xu family would be torn apart, I was afraid of ......"
Gui Youguang didn't say it, but the meaning was already very clear, not only the hundred officials, even you, Hai Rui, also received Xu Jie's great favor, if Xu Jie's face was forced to tear his face and poke everything out, no one would end up at that time.
"Zhenchuan Gong, do you mean to let me accept it when I see it?"
"That's right, Lord Zhongcheng, if you can get to the point where you are today, the people will thank you for your kindness."
Gui Youguang is bitter and serious, but he forgot that there are such people in this world who don't know how to turn back!
"Zhenchuan Gong, the servant was ordered to go south, and the person who planned was not the Xu family, but Qingzhang Tianmu, paving the way for the future reform of wealth. The Ming Dynasty is ill, and the disease is in the finances. This is the consensus of Tang Ge Lao and Zhang Ge Lao, presumably people of insight in the world have also noticed that the Tian Fu is nearly half less than at the beginning of the country, and the salt Fu is now less than thirty percent, and the arable land of the people in the world is less than half! Where did all these taxes and fields go? Don't you know yet? β
Gui Youguang smiled bitterly: "Alas, there are scholars from the family who merge, there are royal relatives and relatives who are greedy for ink, the head of the palace, the leader of the Jinyi Guard, in short, with a little power, they regard the people as fish and meat, take what they want, and exploit them wantonly...... But Lord Zhongcheng, there are some things that you can't say if you know them, and you can't do them if you say them, you have to understand! β
Hai Rui smiled contemptuously, "What can't be said, what can't be done?" Isn't it that the officials are all born scholars, seeking officials for thousands of miles just for money, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, there is a golden house, they themselves are making a lot of money, their brains are full of fat, their stomachs are oily, and they are not right, how can they judge the case impartially? I, Hai Rui, grew up in the barbarian land of the island, but I was born as a person, and I can't be compared with the nobility of the imperial court, and I have no friends and no party, so I was sent to Nanzhi, didn't I value what Hai Rui reluctantly called 'advantages'? If I let go of the Xu family lightly according to what Zhenchuan Gong said, what would the other southeastern families think, a fishing net, as long as a hole is broken, you can't catch fish, let go of the Xu family, how can the great cause of Qingzhang Tianmu be completed? β
Gui Youguang was really stunned, he thought that he had suffered for most of his life, sixty years old suddenly became expensive, ups and downs, he had seen through everything, people were old and fine, he could teach anyone.
Facing Hai Rui, who is more than ten years younger than himself and is from a leading background, Gui Youguang has a great sense of superiority in his heart.
But after listening to Hai Rui's words, he completely understood, Hai Gangfeng impeached Jiajing and killed the emperor to death, but he didn't die, and he was still on the rise, what did he rely on, is it God's blessing?
No, it depends on a sincere heart and a warm heart!
Li Zhen earnestly advocated the "childlike theory", the older people are, the more dust will be on their hearts, and the more turbid their hearts will become...... Hai Rui, this guy can't get in oil and salt, his heart is closest to childlike innocence, and people can't interfere with him. It's like a seemingly clumsy swordsman, without any tricks, and every blow goes straight to the core!
You can't refute it, you are shrewd and have light, and you only dare to say to Hai Rui, what you think can't be done, but he doesn't dare to say that what you think is wrong!
"That's it, the old man has passed the year of the sixtieth year, so let's go crazy with the adults, if I'm not crazy, I'll be old!"
Gui Youguang shook his head, got up and went to the outside of the yamen, and sent the order to the lobby.
The third class of officials, holding water and fire sticks, stood on both sides, the door of the lobby was open, and there were as many as thousands of people who heard the news outside, and countless people poured over.
The son of the old Xu Ge was actually taken to the lobby for interrogation, this is an unprecedented anecdote, the big guy is like a fire in his heart, I just want to see how bold the officials of the court are, dare to do the people of the Xu family?
"My lord, there are so many people that the gate is crowded!" The squad leader wiped his sweat and panted.
Hai Rui took a deep breath, "Send the order down, tear down the courtyard gates, let the people see enough if they want to see it, this official handles the case, there is nothing that people can't see!" β
The team leader hurriedly agreed, and after a while, the door was demolished, and even the outer wall was pushed by the way, and there were crowds, at least fifty or sixty thousand people.
Hai Rui was in the signing room, facing a bronze mirror, looking at himself inside, his forehead was very narrow, his chin was very pointed, there was no blessing, his cheekbones were high, his nose was high, his lips were thin, he was mean and stubborn, he would not look back, his philtrum was very short, his beard was sparse, and his lordship was incomplete...... How can there be a little bit of officialdom, but he just put on a poinsettia robe, how many people can't look forward to it for a lifetime, God is joking with himself!
"Treat every day as the last day, and Lao Tzu will poke a hole in the sky!"
Hai Jui came out of the signing room and put on a terrible poker face.
When he arrived in the lobby, he was seated, and the officials shouted mighty.
"Bringing people to commit crimes."
The official agreed, and soon Xu Kun and Xu Ying were dragged up.
"Are you guilty?"
The two boys were trembling, where did the two of them have much ability, peeked at the countless crowds, shrunk their necks in fright, covered in cold sweat, thorns in their backs, Hai Rui asked, the bamboo tube poured beans, what did you say.
Soon, one case after another, one by one, were cleared out, plus the old cases that Wu Shilai had asked before, and merged them together.
In the past 20 years, the Xu brothers have taken a total of 170,000 acres of land and forced 43 lives to death, including two family tragedy, and a man killed all of them, three sisters were sold to the Qinglou, two sisters committed suicide, and only one sister was left, living alone in the world......
These two boys also know that when it comes to sin, ten or eight heads are not enough to cut off.
They kowtowed desperately, and their brains were blue.
"My lord, get around us, my father saved your life back then, my lord, you can't help but miss the old love!"
Everyone's eyes fell on Hai Rui, just what he said!
Hai Rui's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Xu Kun, Xu Ying, Hai has indeed received the favor of Xu Ge Lao, but when Xu Ge Lao saved this official, should he not have thought that after a few years, he would let this official keep his family and cheat for his sons?" Xu Ge Lao saved the official, he hoped that the official would be an honest and honest official who was dedicated to the people. As a minister of the pastoral side, only by being selfless and decisive, can he live up to the court and the kindness of Xu Gelao! β
β¦β¦
In the crowd, there was a group of guys with hats, and the one led by Hai Rui heard Hai Rui's words, and laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.
Sure enough, it's a sea barbarian, it's really powerful!
He gave Hai Jui two thumbs up.
Xu Kun and Xu Ying are completely stupid, and they don't even use killer features, what can I do?
"Xu Kun, Xu Ying, you are guilty of a great crime, you are innocent of death, according to the "Da Ming Law", first put on death row, this official will accept the people's notice within ten days, clean up the omissions and negligence, and then go to the court, treat your capital crimes, and retire!"
Hai Rui turned to leave, and the messenger picked up Xu Kun and Xu Ying, and walked down, both of them with legs as soft as noodles. When they heard about the capital crime, they were all dumbfounded, and their souls were gone.
O King of the Sea Yama, King of the Sea Yama, are you really going to kill someone?
Yan Shifan did so much evil back then, didn't he just send Leizhou, why are you so ruthless? Who are we messing with?
Also questioning was Xu Jie, holding on to crutches, his face pale. Opposite him, there was a seven-rank imperial history, who was leaning his body, listening to Xu Jie's lessons.
"Lord Wang, the old man has been an official outside for decades, the children in the family are negligent in discipline, the old man is willing to accept the guilt, and the dogs are ignorant, if the court really can't let them live, let the old man die instead of his son!"
The Lord Wang immediately stood up and hurriedly said, "Elder Ge, don't be like this, worry about hurting your body, and ask Elder Ge to take good care of your body." β
Xu Fan snorted coldly, "Take care of your body? Are you afraid of my dad to death? Kill them all, raid your family and exterminate your family! What did my two brothers do that they deserve to fight? Don't you want to announce your personal vendetta and take our Xu family under the knife? If you want to kill, kill it, come one by one, the great heads are here, come and cut them! β
Xu Jie kept wiping his tears, Xu Fan shouted, like crazy, obviously the two of them had discussed, one sang with a white face, the other with a red face, one showed weakness, and the other demonstrated.
It's just that the royal history surnamed Wang was not moved by them in the slightest, he stood up and smiled lightly.
"Elder Ge, Uncle Xu, you claim that Hai Rui was ordered to frame the Xu family, what evidence do you have?"
Xu Fan's face darkened, "Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by." What evidence do you want? β
"No!" Wang Yushi's face sank, "Uncle Xu, Xiaguan has seen the results of Haizhongcheng's investigation, and according to Xiaguan's calculations, he has also missed a lot of items, such as your domestic servants, relatives, and gentry who are attached to the dedication, in addition, the barren mountains and pond waters that originally belonged to the imperial court, your family has also occupied a lot of them, and they are used to plant mulberry fields." All of them are calculated, and your family alone has caused the loss of 1.5 million mu of land taxes, which is equivalent to nearly 100,000 taels per year! There are clouds in the Book of Poetry, big rats and rats, and there is no food for me. As far as the Xu family is concerned, I'm afraid it should be called Shuohu! β
Xu Jie's old eyes instantly widened, and a cold light shot out from it, and Xu Fan was even more furious, pointing at the other party's nose and scolding.
"Wang Yongji, which end of the day are you? How do you help Hai Jui speak? β
It turns out that this imperial history is Hai Rui's only friend, and the new imperial history king uses Ji!
"Elder Xu Ge, the lower officials are only on the side of reason!" (To be continued.) )
