Chapter 839: The Brave Are Fearless
Wu Shilai is a Jinshi in the thirty-second year of Jiajing, and Tang Shen is in the same department, but he is not a person from Tang Yi's side, he is only loyal to his teacher Xu Jie, and he also acts as a pawn for Xu Jie, to impeach Yan Song, and he is one of the famous three sons of Wuwu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xu Jie did not owe this good student, with the help of Jiajing's edict, decisively used Wu Shilai, first transferred to the capital to serve in the matter, has not yet gone to the post, Changzhou prefect is vacant, this is a fat difference, when it comes to economic prosperity, abundant products, Changzhou is only a cut worse than Suzhou and Hangzhou.
Wu Shilai has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, and his qualifications are enough, plus the impeachment of Yan Song that year, his reputation has been greatly enhanced, and he is more than enough to serve as the prefect.
Of course, this is the reason to get on the stage, after Wu Shi came to the middle jinshi, the first job was to push the official in Songjiang Prefecture, and the student became an official in the teacher's hometown, and after three years, he was promoted to the six subjects with great authority, and he was deeply trusted and appreciated by Xu Jie, what is the relationship in the middle, it is self-evident.
As soon as Wu Shilai arrived, he heard that Tang Yi, the master of Jinglue, escorted the teacher's coffin and buried it in his hometown Wujin. Wu Shilai wanted to accompany him to the burial, after all, the deceased person was the second assistant, and Tang Yi was the boss of the Southeast Meridian and the Eight Classics, but Tang Yi had already said that the teacher wanted to leave quietly and peacefully, and no one should come over except for his closest relatives.
"Garlic, pure garlic!" Wu Shilai thought with disdain, if you don't let Lao Tzu go, Lao Tzu doesn't want to have a hot face and a cold ass!
Tang Yi, how long can you be arrogant? There is no teacher in the court, don't look at the name of the scripture, what is that! Hu Zongxian's power was not greater than you back then, what happened in the end?
It is the cabinet that really has the final say, it is Xu Ge Lao!
Look, it won't be long before your bad luck comes!
Envy, jealousy and hatred made Wu Shilai's head a little dizzy, he shook his head, went directly to the signing room, called the master, and sorted out the Chen case accumulated in Changzhou Mansion over the years.
The new official takes office with three fires, and the easiest thing to shine is to handle a few unjust, false and wrongful cases, to avenge the grievances of the people, and then mix a Wanmin umbrella, comfortable for three years, with a teacher to cover, his future is bright.
Wu Shilai hummed a little song, flipped through the mountains of case files, and the more he looked at it, the tighter his brows became, and finally they simply gathered together and connected them into a line.
Almost eighty or ninety percent of the cases are land grabbing, and more than seventy percent of these eighty or ninety percent are related to a name.
Xu Bang!
A tiger!
How can this guy be virtuous, who gave him the ability to reach the sky, just a rough calculation, the land seized by him is close to 10,000 mu, which is converted into silver, more than two or three hundred thousand taels.
What are you kidding, is he going to turn Changzhou into his own property?
"Master, who is this Xu Bang?"
The master hurriedly arched his hand, licked his old face, and said with a smile: "Fuzun, this Xu Ye is not an outsider, he is a member of the Xu family in Huating, speaking of which, those sons are his uncles, forgive me for the sin, Xu Ge is always his uncle!" ”
Oh!
It turned out to be someone from the teacher's family, Wu Shilai was a little unhappy, but after thinking about it, since it was his own family, it was not strange, the whole world was annexing land, and there was not only one teacher, nothing remarkable.
If you want to be powerful, some people will look at other cases first, and after looking around, there are no representative big cases, and his face has become grim again.
As mentioned above, Xu Bang grabbed the land and used cruel methods, and no less than ten people were forced to death for him, if it is true, I am afraid that his reputation will not be good for the teacher, and his official reputation will also be damaged......
"Go and invite Xu Bang over, just say that the official wants to talk to him."
"Yes."
The master hurried down, and after a while, he came back with a pale face.
"Fuzun, something is wrong, Xu Bang was arrested."
"Ah, who is so bold as to dare to arrest the family of the teacher?" Wu Shilai slapped the table and stood up.
The master said with a bitter face: "It's Lord Jinglue, not only Xu Bang, but also dozens of Xu family's thugs, all of whom have been arrested." ”
Oops!
Wu Shilai's face changed wildly, he was very aware of the contradiction between Xu Jie and Tang Yi, Tang Yi caught the teacher's person, would he make a big fuss?
"No, I'm going to check it out!"
In a hurry, he rushed to Tang Yi's temporary stay, Wu Shilai handed over the sign, and after a while, the door was opened, and Tang Yi personally greeted him from inside.
Far away, Tang Yi bowed down and gave the first salute, "It turned out to be Wu Zhai Gong, who has long admired Mr. Dayong, and when I saw it today, he was really beautiful, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”
Wu Shilai was stunned for a moment, he was just a fifth-grade prefect, Tang Yi was a second-grade senior member of the southeast meridian, and his status was very different, why was he so polite?
"Wu Zhai Gong, you and your father are the same science jinshi, that is, Tang's predecessor, eight years ago, you wrote a letter to impeach the strict party, ask for the people's life, and be loyal and brave, which is really admirable. Every time my father mentions it, he is proud to be in the same department as Wu Zhaigong. Iron shoulders bear morality, and clever hands write articles. If the Ming Dynasty had more Wu Zhai Gong and iron-clad ministers, why worry about the world. This time, I passed through the southeast, and I had to help Wu Zhaigong, so please come in quickly. ”
Tang Yi led the way in front, and good words were like not asking for money, praising Wu Shilai's courage and honesty as an official. In normal times, this guarantee is full of ambition, and it is still a very face-saving thing to be able to praise and praise the six Kui Yuan, even if the two people are in different camps. But today, it didn't work, what kind of calculation Tang Yi made, it's really suspicious!
After taking his seat, Wu Shilai gave up his hand first and said: "Lord Jingluo, I heard that Mr. Jingchuan passed away a few days ago, and I regretted it with sadness and regret. ”
Tang Yi sighed, "The teacher's voice and smile are always in front of me these days, and he doesn't forget to mention that I, as a disciple, must do things well and serve the country and the people." There are many things in the world, how can I manage them alone, in the end, it still has to fall on the honest and honest ministers like Wu Zhaigong. ”
I want to take the teacher's things and I am close to it, but there is no door!
Tang Yi lifted the ball to Wu Shilai again, "Wu Zhaigong, it's like this, when I came back from the teacher's cemetery, I encountered a group of thugs on the way, beating innocent people violently, and almost killed." I had someone stop it, and by the way, I looked into it again. The truth is shocking and unpleasant! ”
Wu Shilai's heart lifted, and he hesitated: "My lord, what did the villain do to make the adult so angry?" ”
"Look at it."
Tang Yi casually sent a file to Wu Shilai.
Holding it in his hand and hurriedly looking at it, Wu Shilai's face became darker and darker, and directly turned into the bottom of the black pot, and in the end, his sideburns were sweating, and his hands and feet were trembling, as if he was about to have a stroke.
It is indeed shocking, and the above article has been raised to the point that in order to avoid the land and levy labor, the common people took the initiative to donate and put the land property in the name of the gentry, and both parties benefited, but it only suffered the court.
In fact, this is not bad, after all, the common people can still get so little benefit.
But Xu Bang's various actions are completely beyond the bottom limit that people can accept.
During his five or six years in Changzhou Mansion, he first deceived the people into paying 50% of the tenant rent, and once it reached his hands, it was immediately increased to 80%.
The people didn't agree, so he used thugs and forced him to nod, anyway, under the banner of the Xu family, no one dared to care.
Later, when the common people knew his methods and were no longer fooled, he tore off his mask, showed his fangs, and used any method, cleverly robbed, designed frames, and falsely accused murderers...... There are no less than a dozen human lives alone.
And he not only forced the common people to be tenants for him, but also squeezed him frantically, making the tenants give him unpaid labor every year, such as carrying water for his home every day.
A load of water, two buckets, he only needs one bucket in front, and the bucket in the back has to be emptied, the reason is that the tenant will fart, and the bucket in the back stinks!
There is no need to say more about all kinds of evil forms.
He also stipulated that before the tenants got married, they had to send the bride to his home three days in advance, and they could only marry after seeing it with their own eyes. A slightly more beautiful girl will not escape his palm, and some will occupy it for several months, and when he doesn't like it, he will throw it to the tenant, and if they don't agree, he will ask someone to beat him up, and force them to wear a green hat......
"Wu Zhai Gong, what do you think of Xu Bang's actions?"
How, how else!
"It's really inferior to beasts, beasts are not as good!" He arched his hand, "Lord Tang, the lower official requests that Xu Bang and his minions be handed over to the Changzhou Mansion, and the lower official will personally try it, and the people will definitely be given justice." ”
Tang Yi smiled slightly, but did not agree immediately.
"Justice, what is justice? The little Xu Bang is just an ant-like thing, but he can run rampant in Changzhou, for a few years, no one dares to take care of it, and he killed him, and there are countless people who spoil it. Wu Zhai Gong must know that harsh government is fiercer than a tiger, right? The tenants that Xu Bang chased and beat just couldn't stand his oppression, so they fled one after another, and did not hesitate to go to the sea to cultivate the fields and farm in Luzon, as long as they stayed away from this demon king, they didn't care about anything! ”
Wu Shilai's face was flushed, he had read poetry and books since he was a child, and the two sages of Confucius and Mencius both paid attention to benevolent government......
What nice words, how upright the truth, as a result, the actions of the Xu family actually forced the common people to go away and turn their backs on their ancestral graves, in the eyes of traditional literati, what a crime!
"Wu Zhai Gong, if you dare to impeach Yan Song, it shows that you are not afraid of the powerful, iron-clad, brave and resolute, and now there is such a thing, the time has come for you to ask for your life for the people, please Mr. immediately write a letter of impeachment!"
Wu Shilai is stupid, what is the impeachment, do you still impeach the teacher Xu Jie?
When he was stunned, Tang Yi had already asked people to send paper and pencils, and he was afraid that he didn't know what to write, so Tang Yi asked people to send all the confessions asked, including farmers, Xu Bang and his subordinates confessed their guilt.
"Wu Zhai Gong, in order to have something to say, what evidence do you need, if there is anything unclear, the official will help you get it, by the way, I will also let people sort out the files over the years to ensure that everything is true, just write the music, don't worry about false accusations." Tang Yi smiled faintly and said: "As a local parent official, the warrior who impeached Yan Song back then, if he loses the courage, he is afraid that it will not sound good, you must know that the brave are fearless!"
