Chapter 499: The Book of the People

The head of the squad also smiled and said, "Your young master is the right deputy of the Imperial Palace, Wang Feng, right?" ”

"Now that you know, you dare to ......"

Syllable!

The squad leader held the knife in his backhand and slammed the handle of the knife into the porter's mouth.

Burst!

The porter spat out a mouthful of old blood, including two teeth.

"You ......"

He was about to have a seizure, but he felt a chill in his neck, and the knife came up again.

The head of the squad said: "Last night, the prefect just received a report from the imperial court that the young master of the Ling family has been imprisoned for rebellion!" ”

"What...... What, rebellion? This...... How can it be! ”

The porter panicked, but it felt unlikely, such a big thing, why didn't there be any news in advance?

Aren't these people scaring themselves?

"Yes, you want to arrest the master, but you don't dare, so you fake the news, don't you?"

After hearing this, the team leader looked mocking and said, "Don't say whether the news is true or not, you are a janitor, when will it be your turn to worry about this?" ”

"Besides, Lao Tzu is coming to arrest people today, you are a porter, you dare to obstruct the tolerance of handling the case, who gave you the courage?"

"I, I'm going to tell the master......"

The porter struggled to his feet, turned and ran to the inner house.

However, as soon as he took a step, his body froze directly.

The long knife in the squad leader's hand pierced through the back of his heart, pierced through his body, and peeked through his chest.

The porter looked down at the bloody tip of the knife, blood gushing out.

His expression was very surprised, and he couldn't believe that these errand men really dared to commit murder in the Wang family until he died.

If it was before, let alone a few small errands, even if the prefect came to the door, he would have to behave properly.

Why is this happening......

The squad leader pulled the knife back, and the porter fell face down to the ground, and there was no more sound.

All of them were frightened, and they all consciously threw down their sticks and got out of the way.

At the same time, the same scene was staged in the Li family's house in the north of the city.

When a team of errand officers encountered obstruction when they took people, they directly attacked them with knives.

The Li family's nursing home was tougher than the Wang family's, and in the end seven or eight were hacked to death, and Master Li was chained and escorted to the mansion.

Similar things have become the norm in Nanjing, and for a while, chickens and dogs are jumping everywhere, and people are panicking.

Jia Kun tried the case day and night, looking for evidence if there was no evidence, and went to explore the scene without clues to find clues.

However, his behavior also completely offended the local scholars, and those who were caught tried every means to bribe, but bribery did not succeed in shaking people, and those who were not arrested were also panicked, and they wanted to get rid of this prefect who had lost his conscience.

Jia Kun turned a deaf ear to this and threw himself on the files of various cases.

——

At night, more than a dozen sedan chairs were parked at the entrance of a house.

"Everyone, Jia Kun is already crazy, if you continue to investigate like this, sooner or later you and me will be found out, hurry up and think of a way!"

There were a dozen people sitting in the house, all grimacing.

"What Brother Zhang said is very true, but ...... What can I do? ”

"That's right, let's just say that the eldest son of the Wang family is the right deputy envoy of the imperial court, with a high position, and the king thought that he could sit back and relax, who knows...... Alas, the world is unpredictable! ”

"If you can't do it, you have to find a way to get out, do you have to sit back and wait for death?"

At this time, Ying Tianfu accepted the people's complaints like crazy like taking the wrong medicine, and saw that the big families in the city had fallen, and it would not be long before it was his turn.

"It's better to ...... I'm waiting for the book to be impeached? ”

"How to impeach?"

"Could it be that he didn't accept bribes on weekdays, and he didn't handle unjust, false and wrongful cases?"

"That Jia Kun is not greedy for money, I have sent him gold and silver, and he has sent them back."

"I also sent him the Oiran of Wangchun Tower, but he said that he didn't agree with anything, and he also returned it."

"Last year, the river embankment was discharged, and it was also repaired by this Jia Governor's Mansion himself, and it is indeed not easy to find his handle."

"If you don't have a handle, won't you make it up? My brother is the superintendent of the imperial history of the dynasty, but even if it is found out in the end, the emperor will no longer trust him! ”

"That's very good, I'll fix a letter to your brother Yushi!"

After everyone discussed, they gathered together and racked their brains to fabricate Jia Kun's bad deeds.

For example, they wantonly solicited wealth, demanded bribes, encroached on people's fields, and robbed people's daughters......

In short, give him everything you have done.

A total of twenty charges were listed, and then he found a confidant and took the secret letter to Beijing overnight.

——

"Master, a large number of people have come to the yamen."

"No matter how many people come, tell them that if they want to file a complaint, they should first submit the pleadings, and then send two scribes over, and if they are illiterate, they can dictate it, and the scribe will write it on their behalf."

"It's not...... Sir, they're not here to sue! ”

Jia Kun raised his head and frowned, "It's not a complaint, what are you doing?" ”

At this time, a bad thought suddenly flashed in his heart, could it be that those scholars were looking for trouble?

He knew these people too well, and for the purpose, unscrupulous means, he must have incited the people to besiege the government, and then jointly wrote a letter, saying that he was forced to rebel against the people......

"I'm here to give a gift to the master!"

"What?"

"Book of the People!"

Jia Kunteng stood up, looking very excited, and said, "You say it again!" ”

"The people are grateful for the kindness of the lord and sent the book of all people!"

Jia Kun lifted his official robe and hurriedly walked out of the gate of the mansion, and then saw a large group of people surrounded outside, all of whom were black.

At present, a person wearing a Confucian shirt arched his hand and said: "The student should be Tianfu Xiucai Chen Lun, who has the honor to write on behalf of the people today, and is here to present the book of all people!" ”

"Lord Qingtian!"

"Lord Qingtian!"

The people knelt down and held up a long scroll.

Jia Kun looked at the names and bright red handprints on the long scroll, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

I've seen Wanmin Books on weekdays, but those are all things made up by readers.

To put it bluntly, it was just a swap of interests between a group of gentry and officials.

When the officials seek some benefits for the gentry, and serve the local gentry and lords comfortably, when they leave office, these gentry will jointly put on a book of the people, what love the people like children, judge cases into God, and clean government affairs...... In short, it's just a lot of hype, and it doesn't cost anything to write a few words anyway.

And the real people, who are the lowest and lowest clay legs in the eyes of the gentry, are not qualified to participate in this game at all from beginning to end.

However, what we see today is a real book of all peoples.

At this moment, he was completely relieved in his heart.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, please get up quickly, I, Jia someone, am a parent official, and I should be the master of the people, so you don't have to be polite!"
