Chapter 909 Punish the former and the latter, cure the sick and save the people
The one-foot-square word "roll" was suspended in front of Shen Wei, beads of sweat the size of beans continued to slide down his forehead, and his face turned from red to purple, from purple to blue, and from green to white.
Quietly inside and outside the main hall, nearly 100 officials craned their necks to look at the word "roll".
Ji Zhibai, as the champion of Jingguo and a protégé of Zuo Xiang, can force him to say "get out", which shows what the situation has become.
Tao Dingnian, Lu Hong, Wen Gu and others hurriedly held the official seal.
After a while, Tao Dingnian raised his head suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "Shen Wei! You, an old killer, actually have a niece who is not as good as a pig and a dog, and you dare to poison and assassinate a pair of grandsons of Xiangye!"
"Brute!" Lu Hong shook his head slightly.
Wen Gu's eyes were even redder, and he said: "In vain, Zuo Xiang and Master Ji trust you so much and let you hold important positions, who knows that your Shen family is inhumane! I really want to smash that to death!"
"I heard that the big man Zuo Xiangsheng was so angry that he left Beijing, and I don't know where to go!"
"What, is it true?"
"My old friend in the capital said that now the officials are in a mess, for fear that Lord Zuo will be angry with this matter!"
"Lord Zuo Xiang has the grace of knowing us, I can't wait to kill this beast Shen Huan!"
"Your whole family is dead, and it's not enough to bury the grandson of Zuo Xiang!"
"It's hard to write, the house of sins!"
"The sentence must be severe, and it must not be spared!"
Many officials shouted and scolded, if this was not the county government hall, they didn't know what ugly words they would scold.
Many officials are simply mad with anger, not to defend the left minister, but for themselves!
Zuo Xiang originally had high hopes for Ning'an County, hoping that the officials of Ning'an County could overthrow Fang Yun, and at the worst of all, they could also obstruct Fang Yun's palace test.
But now, not only did everyone fail to obstruct Fang Yun, but the people of Ning'an County killed Zuo Xiang's grandson, and when Zuo Xiang heard about the officials of Ning'an County in the future. It will inevitably remind me of a pair of grandchildren who were stillborn.
Shen Huan's niece poisoned this time, almost cutting off the ascending channel of Ning'an County officials!
Many of the young officials were not only angry, but also panicked.
"It's over, our future is over......"
I don't know who said half a sentence and was gagged, but an invisible panic spread among nearly 100 officials.
Now whoever dares to say that Fang Yun is wrong, it is equivalent to saying that Zuo Xiang's grandson is innocent of death, and he is clearing his name for Shen Wei Lanxiang!
Fang Yun is right, naturally the officials are wrong!
Some officials looked at Fang Yun, who was sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai in the main hall, and was terrified. Now everyone has been pulled onto the thief ship by Shen Wei, and it is not necessary to stay, nor to go.
Sitting opposite was Fang Yun, a person who dared to take down the history of a county on the first day he came to Ning'an County, a person who could make the great Confucian scholars of various halls come and go often, he didn't do it, and it was a shock.
Turn your hands into clouds, and turn your hands into rain.
Some officials couldn't help but curse in their hearts that they were blind, and they had underestimated Fang Yun before. I thought that Fang Yun couldn't fight these officials at all!
Now it seems that Fang Yun doesn't take the officials present in his eyes at all!
Before, Fang Yun forbearance was for the layout of the palace test, and now the layout has been completed. On the same day, he interrogated Shen Hao with the momentum of thunder, and even deliberately used Shen Hao as bait, and all the officials in Ning'an County took the bait!
Shen Wei lowered his head, his face ashen. The reason why he was arrogant before. What he relied on was nothing more than the identity of his relatives, and now, this dependence is gone.
Some of the officials who were good friends with him sighed in their hearts. Shen Wei was completely finished, and his spirit seemed to be emptied.
Syllable......
Fang Yun suddenly slapped the wood in surprise and said, "Where is the general secretary of the household, step forward to answer." ”
All the officials were shocked by the startled sound of the wood, and after hearing Fang Yun's words, they were even more frightened.
Fang Yun is going to attack the officials of Ning'an County!
Even if it was a day ago, if Fang Yun dared to make a move, they would dare to disobey collectively, but now they don't dare.
Zuo Xiang was so angry that he left Beijing, who would dare to say anything?
"The head secretary of the household is here!" I saw an old man over fifty years old slowly walking to the door of the main hall, and his legs couldn't stop shaking.
The household is under the control of the main book, and the general secretary of the household is Shen Wei's confidant.
Fang Yun looked at the head secretary of the household indifferently and said, "I heard that you have a close relationship with Shen Wei, and your daughter is married to someone from the Shen family, can there be such a thing?"
"That's true. The general secretary swallowed hard.
"Oh, what the anonymous report letter said is that you and Shen Hao joined forces to embezzle two county-owned workshops, resell grain, and enrich their own pockets in the measured land, are they true?"
"Xiaguan ......" the general secretary of the household did not dare to continue.
Fang Yun said slowly: "The policy of the county's officials is to punish the former and the latter, treat the sick and save people, and the policy of treating suspects is to confess leniently and resist strictly. If you confess truthfully, the official can give a light sentence, and if you are stubborn, the county will be punished heavily. ”
As an old official, the general secretary of the household can naturally hear the meaning of Fang Yun's words, the so-called punishment before and after, is to take down all the personnel related to Shen Wei, the so-called treatment and saving people, that is, if you sincerely repent and help Fang Yun expose Shen Wei, the punishment will be reduced, which is equivalent to saving them, and will never use capital punishment.
Obviously, Fang Yun is well versed in the way of government and can compromise on sentencing, but he will never give in on right or wrong!
"Xiaguan...... Confession!" the general secretary of the household half-knelt on the ground.
"You ......" Before Shen Wei finished speaking, Fang Yun suddenly slapped in the air, and the official seal mobilized the power of the Holy Temple and hit Shen Wei in the face through the air.
"Smack......
This slap made Shen Wei staggered back three steps, his face was high and swollen, and blood slowly flowed down the corners of his mouth.
"Hiss......" Shen Wei glared at Fang Yun angrily, covering his left face with his hand, but he didn't dare to say a word.
The officials were silent, Shen Wei was a master after all, Fang Yun said that he would fight, this is to show his determination, whoever dares to jump out to defend Shen Wei will inevitably be ruthlessly suppressed!
"Confess your crimes one by one. Fang Yun looked down at the half-kneeling general secretary below.
"Yes......"
Next, the general secretary of the household began to confess and told the things about himself and Shen Wei one by one, but most of them cleverly said that they were forced by Shen Wei, and they were helpless. In the end, he confessed to some of the things he had done, although the crime was not light, but it was not painful compared to the previous one.
During this process, Shen Wei just snorted coldly and didn't say anything.
After the confession of the general secretary of the household, Fang Yun thought for a moment, made a judgment, raided the house, confiscated all property, punished him with a cane of forty years, paraded around the streets, and then issued a ten-year army transfer, and if he had great merit, his sentence could be commuted. His three sons participated in the distribution of the spoils, and they were all sentenced to 60 lashes and three years' imprisonment. His wife also participated in the violation of the law and was sentenced to 20 lashes and one year's imprisonment.
"Master Xie!" The general secretary of the household room was in an extremely complicated mood, Fang Yun did what he said, followed the policy of "treating the sick and saving people", and allowed him to commute his sentence by meritorious service, but he did not let go of the family members who participated in the crime.
The general secretary of the household raised his head again and said, "My lord, this official took the initiative to confess, can he be exempted from parading the streets?"
For scholars, parading through the streets is a heavier punishment than imprisonment and confiscation, and some scholars would rather die than parade through the streets.
Fang Yun said: "From today on, all officials who are greedy for ink will be paraded on the streets! If you don't want to parade the streets, don't stretch out your hands!" (To be continued......)
