Chapter 123
He Ran scolded Du Ting, turned to the strong man and said, "You can go on."
Zhuyin interjected: "To put it mildly, the current officials in the country are honest and diligent, and they cannot be compared with those officials before them, which is nothing to boast about. ”
One of the old men was familiar with the clothing of officials, and saw that this was Zhongshu Ling, and hurriedly said: "Yes, what Lord Zhongshu said is extremely true, we grass people are used to being oppressed, and it is easy to be satisfied if we live a good life, but it is really shallow." ”
Although the other old man and the strong man didn't know what the official uniform of Zhongshuling looked like, they had already guessed that most of them were Princess Zhuyin when they saw such a stunning beauty standing close to the military advisor.
The strong man was just about to speak, but he heard the red man shouting: "Go back!" Lay down the blade! ”
It turned out that the people behind couldn't help but approach this side, and Hong Yan didn't dare to be careless and stepped forward to stop it.
He Ran knew that these people would not do it again, so he raised his voice and said, "Put down your weapons and let them come closer to listen." ”
As soon as the words fell, only to hear a chaotic sound, and the people threw down their knives and guns and walked over in an orderly manner.
After the people were standing outside the two or three battles, He Ran said to the three people: "Go on." ”
The strong man still hurriedly said: "The villain said that the villain said, my brother got a news from somewhere, the county guard used his authority to arrange a fat errand for one of his brothers and two sons, and the villain didn't remember what the specific errand was, one of them was a transfer envoy, this person has no talent, a few days ago there was a big mistake, lost a large number of materials, I heard my brother say that it is worth thousands of taels of silver, but he has not been punished." ”
He Ran turned to Du Ting and asked, "Is what he said true?" ”
Du Ting immediately replied: "The military advisor has clearly observed, since the reform of the official system, the income is meager, and the supervision of all parties is strict, where is there any fat difference, at that time, the city guard of Liangxing City complained to the lower officials about the lack of manpower in the palace, and the lower officials sent two dogs to temporarily fill the number, and there was no ......."
He Ran interrupted: "What about the loss of supplies? ”
"This ...... That is the brother-in-law of the lower official, not the younger brother, he was selected because of this, the lower official has been reported, there is indeed a batch of materials with the wrong number, and it is currently being investigated. Du Ting's righteousness was strict, in fact, he didn't take these seriously in his heart, he was an official who surrendered to the country, and he thought that what he did was enough to go up to the court and down to the people. The current attitude of the military advisor towards him made him feel quite aggrieved.
The strong man said angrily: "It's been more than half a year, is it so difficult to check?" I don't think I checked it at all, I want to fool the past! ”
He Ran once again stopped Du Ting, who wanted to defend himself, and said to the three of them: "Is this the cause of the incident?" ”
"No, there's more!" The strong man hesitated when he said this, and he first looked a little lacking in confidence, "I also heard that he accepted bribes, but ...... However, the amount is not too large, there is a case of two hundred taels that is witnessed, and the military advisor should send someone to investigate carefully, and the villains can know only a lot, and maybe there are thousands of taels that are not known. ”
He Ran turned to Du Ting and asked with a smile, "Have you received it?" ”
"Nope! What they say is just a favor, not a bribe! Du Ting said it categorically, he knew that the crime of accepting bribes should not be touched.
The strong man said: "No! It's just taking bribes, you can find someone to confront you face to face! ”
He Ran waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's not my authority to say this, and then I will have the eldest priest Kou to review the case in detail." ”
Hearing this, the strong man's face changed, he knelt on the ground with a pop, and said urgently: "The military advisor can't ignore it, we only believe in the military division, if the military advisor stops, how can I wait for my life?" The villain is a rough man, but also a person who admits death, these things are nothing, and we should be content with the grass people, but the villain has always remembered what the adults who preached the new deal said at that time, the new deal is for us to protect ourselves, if we don't report the official today, then tomorrow he will dare to take away all our family property, and it won't be long before the new deal will be destroyed. It is precisely out of support for the new policy that we want to ask the county guard for an explanation this time, and we didn't want to do anything to him, as long as he gives an explanation, even if it is true, everyone thinks that he is a good official, and it is enough to hope that he has some discipline. ”
He Ran patted the case and said: "Okay! Those who preach the New Deal to you are dutiful. He turned to Zhuyin and whispered, "It should be a talent, you might as well visit it and see if you can reuse it." ”
Zhuyin nodded slightly.
He Ran said to the strong man: "The new deal gives every citizen the right to supervise, and you take the initiative to defend the new policy, your heart is commendable, but you should go to the supervision office to report it, and it is not right to gather people to cause chaos." ”
An old man said: "Because it is the county guard who wants to report, the grass people are a little panicked in their hearts, he is in power, we are worried that the adults of the Supervision Office will not dare to touch him, so we want to make the matter known to everyone, so that the effect may be better, the grass people did not make a mess, at first it was just rumors behind their backs, I don't want the news to spread, but the official also arrived, the first person who presided over the matter was arrested several, but they had to arrest the person in charge before they were willing to give up, and they also had to confiscate the knives and weapons, we had to rise up to defend ourselves, and then the army came." ”
The strong man said excitedly: "Under the new policy, we never expected this kind of thing to happen, they are seriously violating the new policy!" Second Uncle Li, tell me which one they violated. Afraid that he would not remember clearly enough, he turned to one of the old men.
"No need, I know that." He Ran seemed to remember something after speaking, and instructed one of the guards, "Go pick up two swords and come over." ”
The guard trotted to the place where the people had put their equipment and picked up a few swords, and then came back and put them on a few cases.
He Ran picked up a steel knife casually, flicked it on the knife with his fingers, and then handed it to Zhuyin and asked, "How does Lord Zhongshu look at the material?" ”
Zhuyin listened to the sound of his sword, and had a judgment in his heart, so he took it in his hand and looked at it at this time, and said: "It should be made of Xiangguo fine iron, and the forging work is also passable." ”
Du Ting took the opportunity to say at this time: "Yu military division, the lower officials have already noticed that the weapons have reached the point where they must be controlled, and the civilian ones are comparable to the quality of the military, and some are even better, how can this be done, this is an example, if it weren't for this, it wouldn't have hurt so many soldiers, and the lower officials wanted to confiscate their knives and weapons a while ago and had nothing to do with this case, so they wanted to do so for a long time." ”
He Ran ignored him, picked up a sword from several cases, slowly stood up, held the sword horizontally in front of his chest, and said in a loud voice: "Fathers, I have something to announce here today, you have all heard it clearly, keep it firmly in mind, and then tell as many relatives and friends as you can, this matter is not only related to the foundation of the country, but also has a great relationship with yourself." ”
