Chapter III: Insistence on Clarifying the Harm to the People (2)

In fact, other counties and counties also have their own difficulties, such as Peng Chengguo, after receiving Huang Wan's letter of help, the national minister Zuo Shang immediately began to help. Who knew that the matter reached the ears of Thorn Shi Taoqian, and he immediately ordered Zuo Shang that there were still Taiping Daoyu parties in Xuzhou, and immediately began to requisition grain from domestic counties and counties to help suppress thieves, and aid Yu should not use the grain of the government treasury. Zuo Shang had no choice but to follow the advice of his subordinate Xue Li and others, and worked hard to raise food from the people. Finally, it took two months to raise 30,000 grains, and I felt that I could do it, so I sent Xue Li to report to Qian County first, but I didn't want to meet in Yu County.

Huang Wan was overjoyed when he heard this: "The righteous people of Zuofu, my hungry people in Yuzhou can last a few more days!" He instructed Laimin: "Cidanda, this matter should be sooner rather than later. Today, Xue Jun and Ying Jun are already sleepy and tired, so you will immediately rush to Pengcheng tomorrow morning to greet Zuo Fujun on my behalf. ”

"No!" Lai Min stood up and answered.

After deciding on this matter, Huang Wanfu said solemnly: "There is one more thing that must be done at the moment, most of the officials in Yuxian County are Tan Fu's accomplices, I mean to behead all of them regardless of size, what do you think?" ”

The Ministry of Counties and States got up and said: "The envoy burned Tan Fu, beheaded the demon Dao, and the means were decisive, and the whole state was shocked." Fang thinks that the first evil has been eliminated, and the goal of eliminating treachery and suppressing evil has been achieved, and the rest of the people should be handed over to the judge to discuss the crime; If there are more killings, the people of the county will be terrified, and there will be trouble. ”

Yingchuan officials Xun Yu and Gong Cao Zhongxuan glanced at each other, and also said: "Kong Jun's words are reasonable, the so-called 'punishment is punished for crime, and if you don't claim guilt, you will be chaotic'. ”

Huang Wan smiled and said: "Gongda, Yuan Chang's words are too much! Killing a few corrupt officials to deter Xiaoxiao, what damage does it do to the law? These people are usually commanding, prestigious, derelict in their duties and harming the people, which one should not be killed? ”

Yan Yan looked at Xue Li, obviously wanting to hear his opinion. Xue Li hurriedly got up and said respectfully: "'The son is the government, why kill? The son wants to be good, and the people are good. The virtue of the gentleman, the virtue of the villain, and the wind on the grass will die. 'Foolishness also thinks that Kong Jun's words are true. ”

All the officials also got up and persuaded bitterly, and they all said: "The words of Kong Jun, Zhong Jun and Xue Jun are very reasonable, I hope that the Ming will make you good at it!" ”

Huang Wan sat down and said angrily: "This rotten Confucian theory is also! Are you all afraid? Don't you hear: 'Virtue is like nourishment, and there is no harm to be eliminated'? The corrupt officials can't be the master, and the people can't benefit the people, and the gossip confuses the people, and they should destroy their clan according to the law, and now they only behead them, which is considered a lot of tolerance. The words of the kings have disappointed me, but you can retreat quickly! ”

Huang Wan is rigid and unceremoniously criticised. So everyone withdrew, but Laimin did not leave.

Seeing him staying, Huang Wan said expectantly: "Jingda stays alone, there will be someone to teach me!" ”

However, Lai Min's next words made him very disappointed: "Although these people are all corpses and vegetarians, they are all treacherous villains, but they are indeed too much to kill, and the dismissal is over." I stayed because something was unknown. ”

"What?"

"Whatever offends people, my brother-in-law has always done it himself. For example, in this county tour, you personally beheaded six county officials, three county magistrates, and countless county officials. I see that my brother-in-law loves Xue Li very much, but he has to let Xue Li kill Que Ling? ”

Huang Wan looked at Lai Min for a long time and said, "It's just a matter of looking at his bravery." ”

"Not only that, right?"

"Alright, don't talk about it anymore. You immediately sent an order and sent officers to arrest the convicted officials in the county. ”

Not long after, there was a cry outside, and dozens of county officials were tied up with ropes and held in the official temple listening hall. It won't be long before Huang Wan will behead them all.

There were also several local bereaved old dignitaries who entered to dissuade Huang Wan, but they were all rejected by Huang Wan.

Pei Xiang Yuan Zhong's car arrived, and he was originally going to come with Huang Wan, but it was delayed due to temporary events. As soon as he arrived, he was shocked to see that all the people of the county were detained here. After explaining the situation to everyone, Yuan Zhong first pointed to the arrested county officials and reprimanded: "You are waiting for the gang to abuse and do not do virtuous things, although you are beheaded today, it is not an exaggeration!" The county officials all cried: "Shangguan is like this, as a subordinate official, how can he do anything?" Besides, most of us will die if we don't follow the law, and I hope that the king of the palace will have mercy on them! ”

Yuan Zhong was a little unbearable, and said to the officials of Yuzhou: "The Ming envoy has always been obedient, why do you have to kill these useless people?" I should advise it! With that, he went straight into the inner hall.

However, it didn't take long for him to come out dejected. As soon as everyone saw his expression, they knew whether they were persuaded or not. Runan Yuan Su is friendly with Jiangxia Huang, and Yuan Zhong is friendly with Huang Wan, even he can't persuade him, it seems that these people have no hope.

Sure enough, Yuan Zhong came over and sighed: "Since Chen Zhongju, Wang Shumao, and Yang Boxian, no one in the world can persuade Ziyan!" ”

Chen Zhongju, that is, the late Taiwei Chen Fan, Wang Shumao is the late Sikong Wang Chang, and Yang Boxian is the late Sikong Yang Ci, all three of them were once ranked as the third duke, and they were the leaders of the scholars at that time, and they were even more loyal and upright. Yang Ci thought that Huang Wan had the talent to control the chaos, and it was Huang Wan who became the master of Yuzhou Mu. Chen Fan and Huang Wan selected sages together, offended the powerful, Chen Fan was dismissed afterwards, Huang Wan was imprisoned for 20 years, and the two were friends of the year. Wang Changsu respected Huang Wan, and when Huang Wan was convicted of the crime, he had the merit of preserving him. The people of the time regarded Wang Chang, Chen Fan and Li Ying as the embodiment of justice, and one of them praised the three of them casually: "Li Yuanli, the world's model, is not afraid of Chen Zhongju, and the world's handsome Wang Shumao." ”

When it comes to Chen Fan, here is a clarification. Many people may think that he is the villain of "if you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world", but in fact, this is all a good thing and a boring person who is forced on his head. Chen Fan did say, "The big husband is in the world, when he sweeps away the world, he should be in one room?" Xue Qin, a guest, was very surprised, and he didn't say at all, "If you don't sweep a house, why sweep the world!" After careful consideration, I don't know which year and month there was an empire called "Qing", and the father of Liu Rong, a great Confucian in the court, once said when he laughed at Liu Rong: "If one room is not governed, why should the world be a family and a country?" Isn't it very similar to the meaning of "if you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world"?

In the heavy rain, dozens of county officials were escorted outside the official temple, just waiting for Huang Wan's order to be beheaded immediately. Hundreds of family members of the beheaded people were killed, and the cry shook the heavens and the earth, attracting a large number of people to come and watch in the rain.

While Yuan Zhong and the others were sighing, Huang Wan paced over, and everyone suddenly quieted down.

At this time, a sergeant entered a bamboo tube, saying that it was sent by the old man in the rain.

Huang Wan took it, took out a small piece of bamboo slip from it, only glanced at it, grabbed the sergeant and asked urgently, "When did you send it?" Where's the come? ”

The sergeant shuddered and stammered, "Send ...... It's been sent for a while, because the envoy is in deliberations, so the villain is waiting outside the temple......"

Huang Wan didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he hurriedly ran out, shouting loudly as he ran: "Zilong! Zilong! Is it Zilong? Is Zilong here? Where's my friend Zilong? ”
