Chapter 469: The Emperor is short of people
With Feng Jinqing's booklet, everything is much easier, just arrest people and interrogate them directly according to the booklet. Dong'e City is not big, these people are all in the city, and it is very easy to catch.
Although Lu Mingxiao and Qiao Xiangyu did not bring the army, the students of the Academy of Science and Engineering of the School of Commerce and Commerce under their command had received strict military training, and although their combat effectiveness was not as good as that of the Praetorian Guards, they were much stronger than the ordinary guards army. Even those scholars from the clan and the recruited scholars had been trained for a month, and they could barely fight when they took up arms.
Lu Mingxiao and Qiao Xiangyu personally led the team and began to arrest officials all over the city, and if they caught people, they were immediately put in the county prison, and Feng Jinqing, the county magistrate, was responsible for interrogation.
In the two years since he took office, Feng Jinqing has been angry with these officials, and everything is not going well, and he has long hated them, so he was unceremonious during the interrogation.
Whether it is a six-room official or a high-ranking official such as the county chief bookkeeper, all of them are correct. Boards, sticks, and all kinds of torture instruments came in turn, and these officials cried wolf howls when they beat them, and soon confessed to the paintings.
Yang Cheng of Dong'e County, before Feng Jinqing took office, accepted a bribe of 1,000 taels to kill several lives for the squire Huang family. Ding Yu, the chief secretary of Dong'a, accepted bribes of more than 10,000 taels of silver, and once collaborated with the ambassador of the treasury to embezzle more than 5,000 stone of grain from the treasury. Dong Adian Shi Pan Xiang, secretly colluded with Xiangma, robbed local large households, and secretly sold stolen goods for Xiangma......
There are more than 10 officials in Dong'e County, including the county officials, the officials of the six rooms, the head of the third class of officials, and most of the officials in the entire Dong'e County, all of whom have been interrogated clearly on all charges. In Feng Jinqing's capacity, it is okay to interrogate officials in the county, but in fact, they are not qualified to interrogate officials like the county chief bookkeeper, even if they are found guilty, they must report to the higher authorities, and someone will be sent from above to interrogate them.
However, now, Feng Jinqing has no scruples about this, he will be beaten when he should be beaten, and these former colleagues are severely tortured and interrogated, and the methods are extremely ruthless. Because Feng Jinqing knew that there was an emperor standing behind him, it didn't matter if the court officials were angry.
It only took two days to interrogate all the officials, and then Feng Jinqing actually applied to personally lead the team to arrest the heinous local squire Huang Jia.
"This Lord Feng seems to be bullied miserably on weekdays." Lu Mingxiao said to Qiao Xiangyu with a smile.
"It's good and saves us a lot of time." Qiao Xiangyu also smiled.
Faced with the county zun personally leading the team to the door, the Huang family naturally did not dare to resist, and from the head of the family down, more than 100 people were arrested. After interrogation, Huang Cong, the head of the Huang family, has taken advantage of the land for decades, almost occupying Sancheng of the fields in Dong'e County, and there are more than 10 lives in order to annex the fields.
"Huang Cong was killed directly, the men in his family were sent to Liaodong for hard labor, and the women were forcibly rationed to those who had no wives in the county, all the money and grain in the family were confiscated, and the fields were returned to the Qingtian Division." After Feng Jinqing's interrogation, Lu Mingxiao pronounced the verdict, "And those officials, who have human lives on their hands, will also be executed together, and they will be executed tomorrow." ”
Feng Jinqing wanted to say something, but finally didn't say anything, and lowered his head to write the verdict.
It stands to reason that even if a person commits a major crime, the county government is not qualified to convict, let alone kill. Feng Jinqing knew that what he and Lu Mingxiao did was a sabotage of the Ming system. But Feng Jinqing also knew that it was no longer up to him to make his own decisions.
"How about killing criminals tomorrow by Feng County's eunuch?" Lu Mingxiao asked with a smile.
"Okay." Feng Jinqing nodded and agreed.
"He was the one who interrogated, he was the one who wrote the verdict, and he was the one who beheaded him, and we didn't seem to have done anything." Qiao Xiangyu said unpleasantly.
Lu Mingxiao smiled: "This is very good, he helped us do all the tiring and dirty work, saving a lot of effort." The most important thing is that after this incident, this Feng Xianzun is bound to be despised by Shilin, and will inevitably be squeezed out by other officials, and can only take refuge in us in the future. Although His Majesty has a lot of talents in his hands, they are all of us who have no fame, and they must be interested in Feng Xianzun's refuge with His Majesty. ”
Zhu Youzhen was really interested, and after seeing the music sent from Dong'e, he couldn't help laughing.
"Why is Your Majesty laughing?" Hong Chengchou asked playfully.
"Look at it, this Dong'e County Commander is a rare talent." Zhu Youzhen smiled and handed the song to Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou took it and read it, and also praised: "It's good, I have already judged my situation, I have taken precautions in advance, prepared properly, and acted very decisively, I am really a talent, congratulations to Your Majesty." ”
"Hahaha......" Zhu Youzhen laughed.
In fact, in terms of ability, Feng Jinqing is not too outstanding, far inferior to Hong Chengchou and Wen Tiren and others, but his dedication still makes Zhu Youzhen happy.
To tell the truth, although there are many talents in Zhu Youzhen's hands, there are few who really have fame. There are only a few such as Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Liu Mao, the governor of Fujian.
What Zhu Youzhen wants to do is to completely overthrow the gentry class, and the officials and gentry are one, and they dare not trust ordinary officials at all. You have to copy other people's homes and divide other people's fields, how can you expect people to continue to be loyal to the monarch and patriotic?
However, Zhu Youzhen also knows that the smartest people in the world are still these officials and gentry who were born in Jinshi. Although he has a lot of talents on hand, most of them are just ordinary people, such as Lu Mingxiao and other graduates of business schools, if you really want to talk about IQ and ability, they are not as good as these non-commissioned officers.
If you want to achieve great things, you can't do it without real talent in your hands. That Feng Jinqing is a third-class jinshi, and he is naturally happy to be able to completely serve Zhu Youzhen.
"This Feng Jinqing will let him go to be the prefect of Yanzhou." After laughing, Zhu Youzhen said.
It stands to reason that the appointment of the prefect must be appointed by the Ministry of Officials before it can take effect, but now Zhu Youzhen still cares about this, first let Feng Jinqing go to the prefect, and then give an order to the officials to order him to go through the formalities. Even if the cabinet or the officials block the matter, Zhu Youzhen's direct appointment can take effect.
"Your Majesty." Hong Chengchou said with a smile.
From the moment when the officials and gentry were arrested and personally beheaded, Feng Jinqing had already broken with the gentry class, and in the future, he could only completely surrender to the emperor to obtain protection.
"But I still have to learn the rules, and I ordered someone to send a message to Lu Mingxiang, so that Lu Mingxiang can teach Feng Jinqing well." Zhu Youzhen continued.
Large-scale placement of officials in prefectures and counties, the Inspection Division, the Qingtian Division, Zhu Youzhen is equivalent to another set of official systems in Shandong, Feng Jinqing wants to be the prefect, he must first be familiar with this set of official positions, the rules of this set of official positions are different from the imperial court, and corruption and other behaviors are strictly prohibited, which must also be told to Feng Jinqing in detail.
