Chapter 53: The Female Toast's One-Man Show
The officials of the government and the stewards of the various sections, rooms, and classes gathered in the court one after another, and after about the time of the three pillars of incense, everyone arrived. The officials stood in the lobby, and the officials and stewards stood in the courtyard, and many people were talking to each other.
Dai Tongzhi has been paying attention to the people present, and when he saw that everyone had arrived, he nodded to Master Wen who was standing next to the public case, Master Wen coughed and announced loudly: "The affairs of the Jianzhou and the Governor's Mansion are in the office of the Lord, please ascend to the court!" ”
"Wei ~~~ Wu ~~~"
In the majestic voice, Yu Junting wore a new official robe, walked out slowly from behind the screen, she walked to the back of the public case without squinting and stood still, a pair of bright eyes swept towards the officials, and the officials were like wheat that had been cut down, bowing down in unison.
"I've seen Lord Jianzhou!"
"Excuse me! Flat! ”
Yu Junting said lightly, and all the officials straightened their waists in unison, and the clothes rubbed against each other, making a "pop" sound.
Yu Junting swept lightly at the officials in front of the hall with a pair of danfeng eyes, and said loudly: "Even if you don't say the reason for this official's arrangement today, you must already know it." Not bad! This official is just going to announce to you that Ye Xiaotian, the official who has been missing for many days, has returned! ”
Although he knew about this for a long time, after Yu Junting's mouth, there was still a "boom" in the hall, and everyone was suspicious, some gave each other glances, and some whispered to each other. The state judge Yulong's face was pale, and he looked at Yu Junting coldly, he knew that this woman must have something to do.
Sure enough, when the commotion in the hall calmed down a little, Yu Junting said again: "Why did Ye Xiaotian disappear from the Great Compassion Temple?" I think you know that too. That's right! I did it! Where are the Ye Tuiguan these days? It's in someone's house! ”
The commotion in the hall was louder, but Yu Junting also raised his voice accordingly: "I am also the one who attacked the Great Compassion Temple at night and rescued the person who belonged to the torture hall!" Inform the Ye family in advance. I'm the one who told them to know how to escape! However, the execution of the five evil young men was not instructed by a certain person, but the righteous act of Lord Ye to make decisions for the people! ”
The buzz under the hall was already connected at this time, just like thousands of bees were wandering and flying in the public hall, Yu Junting suddenly grabbed the startled wood and slapped it hard, and the crisp sound instantly spread throughout the hall, which also shook everyone's heartstrings, and the public hall finally quieted down.
Yu Junting said in a loud voice: "Toast." The world has its land, the world governs its people, the world commands its soldiers, the hereditary office, the world governs its place, the world enters its stream, and the world is subject to its seal. You can have an army, you can set up a private prison, you can collect your own taxes, you can appoint yourself as an official, you can kill people without asking for orders, and you can die without worrying about ...... people, you say, isn't it amazing? ”
If one of the natives commits a crime, the toast can be bound and killed. The family of the slain also had to give silver to the toast, ranging from sixty taels to forty taels, and at least twenty-four taels. The name is called Tooth Silver! You say, isn't it overbearing?
The houses of the Tusi people can be built with tiles, and even if the Tusi people can afford to buy tiles, they can only build straw! The Tusi family marries a daughter-in-law. The natives will not dare to marry within three years! The toast can buy, sell, transfer, and give away the local people as cattle at will; The local people have something to blame for their own officials, and if the officials judge unfairly, although there are bad officials. Don't dare to appeal. You say, isn't it very majestic?
Tusi can be arbitrarily demanded from the local people, a Tusi pays no more than 300 taels to the imperial court every year, but the levy on the local people under his rule is more than 100 times, a small faction a year, a large faction in three years, a small faction counts money, and a large faction counts two. The local people lost more than ten times more grain to the local officials than the Han people lost to the imperial court.
Even if it is a small Tumu, he celebrates his birthday, marries and funerals, gives birth to children for three dynasties, builds a house, and even his son goes to school and takes exams, and other expenses, from gold and silver, oil, salt, firewood, and rice to chickens, ducks, pigs, and wine, all of which are provided by the local people!
The power possessed by our Tusi family makes us even more free than the emperor! Why? It was our ancestors who fought for us with their blood and sweat! Our ancestors, who conquered this land thousands of years ago, have taken root here, leaving us a land that can be passed down from generation to generation and the people who attach to it!
It is a blessing that we can sit back and enjoy it without any effort from birth, but can we do whatever we want? A squire understands how to repair bridges and roads, build water conservancy, mediate disputes, advocate culture, set up social studies, help the township, and do good to the people.
What have we, the Tusi family, who have enjoyed the blood and sweat of the people for generations, done for the people? We have this qiē since we were born, and we take the privilege we have for granted, so can we do whatever we want?
Not bad! The toast family can ransom to buy sin! But you have to remember, what is the ransom money for? It's your sin! It's not that you haven't sinned, but that you have sinned, but you can redeem it with silver and gold! If you are guilty, it proves that you have done something that is not allowed by the law of the country to harm the people, but you have the privilege of evading sanctions!
This privilege was obtained by our ancestors because they cherished their children and grandchildren, and because they were concerned that there would be unfilial descendants who would do illegal things and cut off the inheritance of their children, they did everything possible to win it for us to the imperial court. But can we enjoy this privilege with peace of mind and squander the painstaking efforts of our ancestors?
Ye Tuiguan believed that the Luo family was a Han who had moved to Tongren, and they had to pay taxes to the imperial court, so they should be protected and controlled by the laws of the imperial court, and they were not local people, so they should not let Tusi evade sanctions. The five powerful families believed that they had the privilege of paying for their sins with ransom money, so they should not be put to death, and that the Han people living in their land were also considered his natives.
I don't want to dwell on the rights and wrongs of this, whether Ye Tuiguan killed right or wrong, standing in my position, from the perspective of a toast, I feel that this is a great thing, not only for the people, but also for our toast people, it is also a great thing! ”
The hall was silent, everyone listened quietly, only Yu Junting's deafening voice echoed in the hall, and even Yu Hailong, who was hiding on both sides of the hall and behind the screen, and those warriors under him, also held their breath and listened attentively.
Yu Junting said: "Frankly speaking, I have also hesitated again and again, I thought: If I help Ye Tuiguan, will it be a betrayal of all the toasts?" Is it a betrayal of my own camp? Will it make all the toast people dissatisfied with me?
But I finally figured it out, it's not like that! I support Ye Tuiguan, and I am responsible for all of our toast people! Your daddy. did not teach you to forcibly enter people's houses and rape women; Your parents did not teach you to do evil, to bring evil to the country; What they teach you is to be kind to your people, so that you can ensure that the legacy left to you by your ancestors will be passed on from generation to generation.
A court, if the emperor makes the people can't even eat enough, they will rebel! They will overthrow the mediocre emperor and change to a new emperor! If we, the toasts, have been deprived of the basic human rights of the natives, they will also rebel!
Our ancestors cherished our children and grandchildren, and tried our best to leave a way out, what do we use to repay our ancestors? Is it relying on the privilege we have? Once the popular uprising is provoked. Angry people don't remember you as a bad toast, he's a good toast!
They'll kill all the toasts! The blood of the ancestors will never be sustained, whose sin is it? It's you! It is those who think they have the privilege of atonement in their hands, and do whatever they want, unscrupulous! I support Ye Xiaotian, not to provoke our rights! On the contrary, it is to defend our rights!
I figured it out, so I rescued Ye Tuiguan! I figured it out, so I invited such a clean official and a good official back! I, Yu Junting, use my own neck head to ensure his safety. Whoever dares to embarrass Ye Tuiguan again is to embarrass me Yu Junting! My army is stationed in Sinan, and if anyone is not convinced, just come to fight! Let's fight knife to gun! ”
Yu Junting's voice became more and more impassioned the more he came. There is a faint sound of gold and stone echoing in it. Everyone quietly looked at Yulong, the five evil fathers were very powerful in the local area, but they were all like Zhang Yuhan, the officials within the Tusi's self-appointed family. Only the Imperial Dragon has the status of an official of the imperial court, so he appears in the lobby.
Yulong was silent for a long time, and slowly walked out of the train. Everyone suddenly felt nervous in their hearts, and they only said that a-for-tat tearing war was about to start, but they didn't want Yulong to walk to the front of the hall and stand still, so he took off his official hat, knelt on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Yulong knows his mistake!" Yulong pleaded guilty to Yu Jianzhou and the imperial court! ”
The officials collectively made an uproar, they never expected that the royal dragon who had been so domineering before would succumb like this at this time. Today's play is really more exciting than the scene when Yu Junting "forced the palace" and fainted the prefect.
Yu Junting couldn't help but be a little disappointed when she saw that Yulong was soft, she made a generous statement today, and she didn't save face for the five powerful people at all, she originally wanted to force them to do it. As long as they do it, Yu Junting will definitely "lose", and even be forced out of Tongren City, and if her uncle takes the opportunity to make trouble, she will be at the end of her rope.
Ye Xiaotian can provoke righteous indignation to seek justice for her for a folk girl who has nothing to do with him, and will sit back and watch her desperate at that time? As long as he helps, she will be able to use some means to tie this sect leader firmly to her chariot, who would have ...... The dragon was intimidated.
Yu Junting raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "Your nephew, as well as the sons and nephews of the Xiang, Wu, and Zhang families, were beheaded, and the official thinks that it will be beheaded!" The official intends to write to the court and explain the reason why they deserve to die. Moreover, tens of thousands of people gathered in front of the government that day, and a careless handling of the matter would provoke a popular uprising. It was Ye Tuiguan who made a decision on the spot and acted cheaply, and this hardship was also explained to the Son of Heaven. Would you like to join forces with this official? ”
The officials said in their hearts: This is too bullying, you killed someone's nephew, you said that you killed the right thing, and you have to let the family admit that they killed it right, and the Yuzhou Judgment will agree to see the hell. Thinking of this, the atmosphere that had just relaxed became tense again.
Yu Hailong and the others, who were hidden behind the screens on both sides, also became nervous, and quietly clenched the steel knife, and the reflection of the blade was reflected on the blue and red sun map, faintly shining with sparkling waves. Seeing it in the dragon's eyes, his teeth clenched, and his cheeks trembled suddenly.
After a while, he slowly exhaled a breath and said with a pause: "Xia Guan is willing to join hands with the adults!" "Promised! The dragon has succumbed again! The officials looked at Yulong, and then at Yu Junting, and their eyes were no longer admiration, but extreme worship.
Yu Junting didn't expect that Yulong would agree so simply, but if he went further at this time, it would be a bit deceitful and oppressive. Yu Junting could only accept it when he saw it, looked up to the sky and laughed three times, and said loudly: "Ye Tuiguan, please come out!" ”
The figure behind the screen flashed, and Ye Xiaotian walked out, dressed in a seven-grade official robe, arched his hand to everyone, and said with a smile: "Adults, it's been a long time!" ”
: Near the middle of the month, ask for a monthly pass, a recommended ticket!.
