Chapter 140: Impeachment and Strangulation
Speaking of the excitement, Baili Yi actually shed tears and choked up: "Those county citizens who were labeled as rebels and died tragically can also rest in peace!" ”
He was the fifth in the Shadow Killing Pavilion.
He joined the Cabinet five years ago.
At that time, he was only a seven-grade small magistrate - the magistrate of Qinyu County, Shuzhou.
He was raised at the age of fifteen and was promoted by the jinshi at the age of eighteen, and he should have been infinitely beautiful, but he didn't know how to be flexible, wouldn't bribe, and honored his superiors, until he was thirty-eight years old, that is, five years ago, he was still a seven-pinzhi county.
Five years ago, Qinyu County, Shuzhou, was originally a very comfortable small county.
There is a special product in the county, that is, Qin Yusi, which is very beautiful, because of the relationship between water and soil, it cannot be produced in other places, because Tang Guifei in the palace especially likes the clothes made by Qin Yusi, so the price of Qin Yusi was suddenly speculated, an inch of silver.
Ziping, who manages the National Weaving Bureau, immediately set his sights on Qinyu County.
He personally ordered that all the peasants in the entire county should be converted from rice to mulberry. It is not allowed to plant rice fields, only mulberry trees, and then harvest Qinyusi at the lowest price to make huge profits!
Where are the farmers in the county willing to do so?
The crops harvested in the rice fields can be the rations of the family, and the rice fields can be harvested three times a year. The rice fields are all pushed, what will they eat this year?
No matter how high the price of Qinyu silk is, when the imperial court collects it from the farmers, it gives the same lowest price as ordinary silk. You can't exchange a lot of money at all!
The peasants refused to obey.
Of course, Ziping would not sit idly by, and directly borrowed an army from Tang Qing and forcibly destroyed those rice fields. The peasants tried desperately to stop it, and countless people were killed and wounded.
Baili Yi was a magistrate at that time, and his strength was too small to resist Ziping at all, and he watched the villagers who had been together for more than 20 years die one after another.
Ziping killed someone.
In the end, he labeled these dead peasants as disobeying the control of the imperial court and attempting to rebel!
You must know that once you are labeled as a rebel, all three generations and nine clans in the peasant family are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination or practice martial arts, and countless people will be ruined for the rest of their lives.
That rainy night five years ago.
Baili Yi looked at the countless corpses of the villagers, cried bitterly, and roared with his head down: "Why do wicked people always get bad retribution?" Why do innocent people have to bear the burden of unjust death? ”
"The heavens are unkind! The slaughter of the people by the officials, the ...... of this court" He trembled, and threw the seven-grade black gauze hat on his head to the ground and stepped on it.
This court, don't do it!
What does this official mean by being deserved?!
It was also on that rainy night.
At the age of thirty-eight, walking on the fork in the road of life, Baili Yi, who was extremely confused and angry, met a teenager who changed his life.
"Want revenge?" The young man was dressed in a dark robe, with dark red sleeves, and his face was beautiful, like a dark god who came out of the thunder on a rainy night.
He stretched out a hand as white as jade to his blood-stained and mud-stained self, "I can help you." ”
The ghost made a miracle, Baili Yi trembled, and held the young man's hand.
It's like grabbing the last ray of light in your life.
"You hate corrupt officials and corrupt officials, I will help you enter the Imperial Capital Inspectorate, monitor hundreds of officials, impeach and strangle, and set the record straight."
"So, what about Ziping?" Baili Yi's heart was beating almost out of his throat.
"It's not that I don't report it, the time has not come."
"My subordinates understood." Baili Yi bowed respectfully.
