The dozen or so people Xu Qian ordered were all ordinary people who committed heinous crimes and even had bloody cases, except for one magistrate, the rest were all servants of Shuntianfu, and he was only responsible for finding out the truth, and it stands to reason that how to deal with it must be reported to the imperial court first.

However, Xu Qian has his own plans, although he is in the officialdom, he can't abide by the rules of officialdom. He is now facing a group of old fritters who have been mixed for decades, if Xu Qian acts according to their rules, he is afraid that Xu Qian will already lose before he starts.

Since this is the case, then according to Xu Qian's routine to play the cards, Xu Qian bites the people's grievances, that is to say, this is a matter of urgency, since it is from the right, the previous rules can all be thrown aside.

More than a dozen people were all pulled outside the yamen, dozens of lieutenants pressed them to the ground, and a special executioner came out with a big knife in his hand.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Han came out, received the notice, and said: "The cruelty of the people in the Shuntian Mansion is outrageous, and now Hanlin is serving Xu Qian, and he was ordered by Qin to deal with the case. ”

"Kill!"

In a wail, more than a dozen heads fell to the ground, and blood was splattered on the spot!

Everyone was stunned, silent, and in the Shuntian Mansion, the other officials involved also heard the clear shouts of killing outside, and heard the sound of angry scolding and begging for mercy, but suddenly, the whole world seemed to be silent, and the needle drop could be heard.

Everyone who was imprisoned in a hall couldn't help but shiver, their teeth chattering.

They realize that the question they face is no longer guilt or innocence, but life and death.

Just like Guo Kai, although Guo Kai is now detained here, he is not convinced. He felt that there was still a possibility of turning things around, even if Xu Qian was Qincha, but what about Qincha? In the end, the case has to be verified by Dali Temple, and Dali Temple is not something that he Xu Qian can control, and he will retract the confession when he arrives at Dali Temple.

Who knew that Xu Qian was so ruthless, although the knife had not yet reached his Guo Kai's head, but Guo Kai knew that the surname Xu was clearly undying.

He was thinking about it in a mess when he noticed that one of the officials who was being held here suddenly stood up suddenly. He was full of fear, as if he had gone mad, and he cried out, "I...... I don't want to die, I ...... I want to report ......" His face was gloomy and terrifying, and he actually looked at Guo Kai with red eyes. Said: "I want to report an account of this year's fire, I ...... I want to see the Chincha. ”

Fire consumption...... Guo Kai suddenly panicked.

He is the governor of Shuntianfu, in fact, his responsibilities are similar to those of ordinary prefects, in which taxation is also the top priority, and fire consumption is a loss in the process of collecting taxes because of the need to melt broken silver and copper coins into ingots and copper ingots, and in this process, broken silver and copper coins are often impure. Therefore, after refining and removing impurities, the original 1,000 taels may become 955 taels, and most of the local officials in the world rely on this to make money. Because the imperial court allowed fire consumption, the problem arose again, the loss of fire consumption could not make the imperial court lose, and the imperial court asked for a thousand taels of silver. Then a thousand taels must be handed over, so where does the wear and tear come from?

Thereupon. The most terrible problem with this tax is that the tax is on it, and it is reasonable to disappear because it is made up to the loss, in fact, it is not, because everyone has already raised a fat head and big ears with this fire cost, because there is no fixed number of fire money, since there is no fixed number, it is all up to the officials, in the early Ming Dynasty, the fire cost money is often 0.4 yuan per two silver, that is to say, the court wants you to levy you a tael of silver, you can't just pay one tael, you have to add a little four. But now, without the demon of Emperor Taizu, the courage of the officials has repeatedly broken through their lower limits, and the better places are generally charged two or three yuan for fire consumption, and if they encounter ruthlessness, they are four or five dollars, or even seven or eight dollars.

This thing makes people shudder when they think about it, it is obviously a tax of one or two silver, and it is one or two for the imperial court, and the local officials can levy an additional four or five pieces of silver, and almost all of them fall into their own pockets.

And the official is responsible for keeping accounts, and keeping accounts of fire consumption, and what makes Guo Kai uneasy is that he also did his hands and feet in the fire consumption, Shuntianfu is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he naturally does not dare to be blatant, so the fire consumption silver only received three yuan, but Guo Kai feels that it is less, and the reason is still the same, because it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, so there are too many people in his mansion Yin to fight, how can he survive with the fire consumption of these three coins? So on this basis, he did his tricks and feet when smelting the silver, which involved a bit of chemical knowledge in later generations, which was nothing more than adding a little tin to the silver.

The fire consumption can be tolerated, but the impurities in the treasury and silver are absolutely intolerable to the imperial court, Guo Kai dared to do this, indeed because there were people above him, and the household department would turn a blind eye.

But now that someone has reported it, Guo Kai almost didn't faint.

This thing has a chain reaction, after the official went out, then there was no movement, and he was never escorted back, which not only made Guo Kai feel uneasy, but also made other people's minds active. There are no tainted witnesses in this era, but there is no 'resisting strictness and going home for the New Year; Frankly lenient, sit through the bottom of the prison', finally, someone stood up again, they understood that the Qincha surnamed Xu may not be able to look at them these small fish and shrimp, and now bite Guo Kai, it seems that it is still too late, at this time it is no longer the secretary who stands up, but a colleague of Guo Kai, who is the official of Shuntianfu, and now, the future is no longer important, it is a big deal to go to Nanjing to retire, it is better than losing his life, this official also shouted: "I want to see Qincha......"

Guo Kai was already in a cold sweat at this time, and he suddenly realized that it was not good, because this pusher knew a lot of things about himself.

Then, one after another stood up and went to see the Qincha, Guo Kai seemed even more lonely, he sat here, thinking about his various deeds after taking office, which others knew, and what others did not know, I was afraid that I couldn't hide it, I was afraid that others might add fuel and vinegar, and in this uneasiness, he had found that the sky outside was dark, and at this time, someone pushed the door open with a lamp, and said: "Lord Guo, Lord Qincha, please come over." ”

This invitation made Guo Kai a little flattered, and at the same time couldn't help thinking: "Could it be that Xu Qian took my handle but didn't want to take it out, just wanted me to obey?" Hmph, if that's the case, it's just a chance to breathe, and I'll wait for this matter to be over. ”

He arrived at the main hall after a long absence, and as soon as he entered, the startled wood sounded: "The criminal minister Guo Kai, don't kneel down to speak, someone comes, take off his black yarn!" ”

Guo Kai was stunned, he knew that it was not good when he heard the word kneeling, he was also an official of the imperial court, even if Xu Qian was a Qincha, but both his qualifications and grades were much higher than Xu Qian, even if he was to judge him, it should be to sit down and speak, but now the word kneeling is used, on the one hand, it proves Xu Qian's arrogance, on the other hand, it is obvious that people no longer plan to be polite to him, and they are not willing to deal with him in the future, what does this mean? It means that after they are ready for tonight, the two will never have any plans to intersect. If Guo Kai is still an official, how can there be no intersection? Guo Kai is still a human being, and he is in the same Jingshi, who can guarantee that there is no possibility of goodbye? The only possibility is that Xu Qian wants him to be a ghost, people and ghosts have different paths, and there will be no contact for eternity!

Thinking of this, Guo Kai couldn't help but shudder, there were already two lieutenants caught up one left and one right, one of them stomped on his hind legs, making him unstable, and he fell straight to his knees, and the hot pain in his calves and knees came, he snorted, and the black yarn on his head had been removed.

Guo Kai raised his head and saw Xu Qian under the candlelight, Xu Qian still looked like he was smiling, but those eyes looked particularly terrible under the candle flame, Xu Qian looked at him indifferently, then smiled slightly, and said, "So far, what else do you have to say?" ”

Guo Kai suddenly fell into the battle between heaven and man, the other party's attitude obviously has the intention of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, since the reconciliation cannot be achieved, then the only way to carry it to the end, he is still an official of the imperial court after all, he is a member of the third grade, not a person who can be slaughtered, thinking of this, he looks like a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and said coldly: "Xu Shiyu is still a big shelf." ”

Xu Qian mouthed Nunu at the several lieutenants around him, motioning for them to go out, these lieutenants hesitated for a moment, Xu Qian knocked the table, and said lightly: "Don't be afraid, he is a criminal official, what else can he do?" You go out, before you leave, I want to have a few small talks with this Lord Guo. ”

The lieutenants then withdrew, and closed the door.

The candlelight jumped, reflecting Xu Qian's face with a little flush, and Guo Kai was still kneeling, he raised his head, but he was pondering Xu Qian's words in his heart, and before leaving, he ...... What before leaving? , who's leaving? What does that mean? Could it be that Xu Qian was bold and said that he couldn't send himself on the road? Hmph, even if I'm guilty of heinous crimes, it's not his turn to deal with it, what kind of wishful thinking is he playing?
