Chapter 311: Scattered Trouble
The incident in the outer room of the eighth master, the atmosphere in the camp was very depressing, Bafujin and Kangxi proposed to make peace, Concubine Yi and Prince An even begged to go to the front of the palace, Yinzhen looked at Ka Ludai in a bad mood, and wanted to take her out to play.
Towards noon, the villagers stood all morning, and Erlu led people to search for a lot of rewards from the homes of the village chief and elders, which was ten times more than the number of cases in each family.
The villagers looked at the things carried out by the guards, and they became angry, and the voices of denouncing the village chief and elders became louder and louder.
The accompanying Imperial Historian appeared in the crowd, and the village chief and elders gave them a lot of things, and they turned a blind eye to these things.
Now, the villagers have directly found out what they are hiding, and they dare not come forward to intercede.
As there were more and more things, the fourth master's face became more and more gloomy, and his heart became more annoyed, these people didn't take the villagers in their eyes at all.
"Who's going to supervise!" Yin Zhen asked in a cold voice. "The compensation items rewarded by the Long Live Lord have not been distributed to each household?"
Every day, the Imperial Historians would send someone to oversee the distribution of the rules, and these things were obviously not greedy for a day, and should be there every day.
"The minions have arranged it properly, and they have been carefully inspected every day, these things should have been greedy by the women after the minions left!" Yan Yushi was the person in charge of the imperial history, and he quickly cleared up the relationship.
The village chief and the elders glared angrily at the women who wanted to refute, and the imperial historians mentioned that if they were discovered by the fourth master, they would definitely not care, and even, they would not say a word.
"Really?" Yin Zhen looked at them coldly.
The imperial historians knelt on the ground one by one with their heads lowered, not daring to look at Yinzhen's cold eyes, worried that they would be seen by Yinzhen that something was wrong.
"Master, it has all been calculated, and the things that the village chief and elders are greedy for occupy one-tenth of the rewards!" Erlu looked at the ledger and said directly.
When the words fell, the villagers quieted down, it turned out that the people they elected had been seeking welfare for the small family, and they didn't take them seriously, so what about every time they paid taxes? Are they also benefiting from it?
At this time, Yin Zhen felt that the matter was a little tricky, and if it was investigated, he would also be guilty of lax supervision.
Tu Lichen stood aside, waiting for Yinzhen's order, Kangxi would send the fourth master over, which was also a test for him.
"Fourth master, there are rules in the village of the small people, I hope you can hand them over to the villagers to punish!" The scholar found that a trace of embarrassment flashed in Yinzhen's eyes, and he hurriedly relieved him.
Yin Zhen half-narrowed his eyes, the scholar in front of him was very good at observing words and feelings, so this person was preparing for an olive branch.
"Today, Fourth Master, you are a witness, and we are going to open an ancestral hall to punish people!" The villagers listened to the scholar's words and echoed them.
Yin Zhen looked at the eyes of the villagers and had no choice but to compromise.
The imperial historians breathed a sigh of relief, if Yinzhen was held accountable, each of them would be able to escape.
"Well, I'll listen here, you can do it according to the rules of the village." Yin Zhen waved his hand and let all the guards stand beside him.
When the words fell, the villagers stood up one after another, and several elderly people walked towards the men with men and women, Yinzhen glanced at Erlu, and Erlu handed over the list of all the findings.
The first few of Yinzhen have a bottom in their hearts, these people should be ready to be greedy from the beginning.
Among the evidence found out, there were actually his examples, some rouge rice and the like.
Kaludai doesn't like to eat these very much, and rouge rice is generally only boiled porridge, so there will be less than one bowl a day, and Diancui is not aware of it.
"The slave is at fault!" Diancui hurriedly knelt on the ground, these sub-cases were all brought by her, and now, in addition to the fault, Diancui bears the punishment.
Ka Lu Dai leaned to Yinzhen's side, looking at the few things on it, all of which Yinzhen and she didn't like to eat.
"This time, I wrote it down first, whether it is used or not, there must be no less examples, you know?" Ka Lu Dai glanced at Diancui, and scolded a few words before Yinzhen gave an order.
Diancui shuddered for a moment, and quickly kowtowed to thank him.
Yin Zhen shook his head helplessly, Ka Lu Dai likes to use them, and it is possible to protect the minions around him.
"According to what your master said, if you don't make an example, one more time, you will go and receive the punishment yourself!" Yin Zhen admonished.
Ka Lu Dai was relieved, and Diancui was able to escape death.
If it was in another backyard, Fu Jin would definitely let the people of the Criminal Trial Division take care of the Cui Shi board.
The village women were still standing on the sidelines and watching, and Diancui's plea surprised them, but they had lost a little thing, and Diancui's shelf seemed to give them death.
"Yes, slave and maid, remember, thank you for the grace of the master and the master!" Diancui breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and even Yinzhen made a promise, and after going back, Fujin couldn't find an excuse to say that he was the master.
Yin Zhen looked at Dian Cui's appearance and understood that he was worried that Ka Lu Dai would be troubled by the concubine, and such a slave was loyal.
In the distance, there was the sound of drums, and Kaludai raised his head and stared into the distance, and one by one he was invited out of the ranks, and the scholar had a large drum tied to his waist with a red rope, which he would beat every time he walked.
"The ancestral hall is open!" In the crowd, the eldest man stood up and bowed to the ranks.
Kaludai looked at the scene in front of him, and had never seen the scene of opening an ancestral hall.
The women all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the men, and the cries of the women and children of the village chief and elders disappeared without a trace.
"The opening of the ancestral hall today is for the corruption of the 23rd village chief and elders, the family rules, and the offender will be relieved of all errands." The old man shouted so loudly that everyone present could hear his words.
Yin Zhen sat on the side, listening to the old man's words, a little stunned. There are many strict rules in this village, and the village chief and elders will not always be in power.
"Yes!" Everyone kowtowed.
"Liu Wang and the other seven people are selfish and endanger the heirs of the family, according to the family rules, sink the pond!" The old man's words stunned both Yinzhen and Kaludai.
A small matter, the men are relieved of the responsibilities of the village chief and elders, and the women are actually sinking ponds......
"Fourth lady, please save us!" The village chief's wife began to weep, "My children are still young, what will happen if I die?" ”
Kaludai frowned, listening to the series of pleas of the seven women, she was a little soft-hearted, should she stop such an inhumane thing as Shentang?
Yinzhen noticed that Kaludai's expression moved slightly, and quickly stretched out her left hand to hold her little hand, and she turned her head to look at Yinzhen.
"Leave it alone!" Yinzhen said a word in Manchu in a voice that the two of them could hear.
Kaludai's face froze for a moment, he took a deep breath, eased his excitement, and looked at the women.
They found that Kaludai was unmoved, and their hearts slowly sank to the bottom, and today would be their time of death.
"Fourth master, I took out all the things that were greedy, you spare the child and his mother, the child is still young, if the child's mother is gone..... The family is really scattered! The village chief looked at his daughter-in-law, after all, she had lived for many years, and she had committed such a mistake for the sake of her family.
