Chapter 81: Petition Letters

Lao Tzu sings white face, son sings red face, really he doesn't know who locked him up in the first place?

This Li Shanchang is simply playing with him as a fool.

And Hu Changan is really not guilty now, as long as Jinyiwei investigates, he will be able to return his innocence.

If you believe Li Qi's nonsense, then Hu Changan will become guilty if he is really innocent.

After all, only people with weak hearts will rush to find someone to make a relationship before the results of the investigation come out.

After listening to Li Qi's words, Hu Changan said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Li Gongzi, please go back." I, Hu Changan, have done nothing wrong at all, so how can I get away with it? ”

Li Qi looked at Hu Changan's appearance of not entering the oil and salt, and he was simply angry: "Boy, you have to think clearly, there will be no such store in this village today." ”

"Even if it was your previous prime minister's father, you have to obediently take refuge in our Li family, he will do whatever we say, who do you think you are?"

However, Hu Changan looked at the emotional Li Qi, but his eyes were closed and he was silent.

Seeing that Hu Changan looked completely unwilling to compromise, Li Qi had no choice but to wave his sleeves and leave angrily.

......

In today's Yingtian City, rumors are rising.

"Hey, have you heard, Hu Mansion was thoroughly investigated a few days ago!"

"What Hufu?"

"Which one else? It is the mansion of former Prime Minister Hu Weiyong! It is said that his son Hu Changan was carrying private goods during the fight against the epidemic, and was discovered by the current saint! ”

"This Hu Chang'an, he is really bold, he actually pretended to call the soap produced by himself a holy stone to fool the people in the epidemic area!"

"What?! This Hu Changan is really hateful, Your Majesty has done a good job! ”

Fueled by Li Shanchang and others, the rumors spread quickly.

After a while, almost the entire people in Yingtian City knew about Hu Changan's "feat".

Everyone hated Hu Changan and scolded him in the back.

The reputation of Hu Mansion has returned to its old ways.

And these rumors are very harsh in the ears of the people of Jiangning County.

"What's going on out there, it's a fool's errand. My Li dog's life was saved by Hu Gongzi! If it weren't for Hu Gongzi's free food and free decoction, I would have gone down to see Hades a long time ago! ”

"Even if Hu Gongzi really carries private goods, it is for our good! From beginning to end, Hu Gongzi confiscated a penny from us! ”

"If it weren't for Hu Gongzi, such a serious epidemic, our village would have died a long time ago! This group of people outside is really a dog with a mouse, and they are so idle that it hurts. ”

Even Lan Yu's adjutant Wei Yun's wife, who had just given birth, couldn't wait to get up from the bed and fight three hundred rounds with the people who scolded Hu Changan outside.

The people outside were filled with righteous indignation, and Feng Qing, the county magistrate of Jiangning County, who was sitting in the county government's mansion, was also angry.

What a good person Hu Changan is!

When fighting the epidemic, not only was he not afraid of hardships and dangers, but he was on the front line of the fight against the epidemic, and even those anti-epidemic materials were all paid by himself.

So many things are calculated according to the market price, but it is also a lot of silver!

Such a good person must not be framed!

Thinking of this, Feng Qing hesitated again and again, but finally picked up the pen.

Even if he doesn't want to let go of his career, he must seek justice for Hu Changan!

However, Feng Qing had just picked up his pen and written a few words, when a noisy sound came from outside the door.

An errand officer hurriedly stepped into the hall and reported to Feng Qingyu: "Lord Feng, it's not good, there's a commotion outside!" When the villagers heard that Hu Gongzi had been arrested, they were clamoring to write a love letter for you to hand it over! ”

Feng Qing walked quickly to the door, only to see that there was indeed a sea of people outside the door.

Those who were helped by Hu Changan were all flushed and excited.

Seeing that Feng Qing came out, everyone was clamoring to give Hu Changan justice.

"Lord County Commander, you have worked with Master Hu for so long, don't you know what he is like? He was wronged, and we need to save him! ”

"Lord County Commander, although we are all coarse people who don't know a single word, but we can't do such a thing as watching our benefactor die!"

"Lord County, you promise us to help us write a love letter! All the people of Jiangning County are grateful! ”

Facing the many indignant people, Feng Qing couldn't help but wet his eyes.

Although these people do not know how to write and ink, their hearts are first-class.

They know who is good for them, and they also know to stand up for their benefactor when he is in trouble!

Isn't this better than those honey-bellied sword magnates in Ying Tian City?

Feng Qing swallowed his saliva and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, I know your intentions!" Wait at the door, I'll be there right away to help you draft the petition! ”

......

It was another sunny day, and nothing happened in Yingtian City.

In the early morning, the ministers said a few words casually, and then there was nothing to say.

Zhu Yuanzhang yawned a little and was about to announce his retirement from the dynasty, but Feng Qing, the county magistrate of Jiangning County, stood up and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a petition from all the people and wants to present it to Your Majesty." ”

"Oh yes, take it!" Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's back suddenly straightened.

Zhu Yuanzhang, as the only emperor from a peasant background, naturally attaches great importance to public opinion and public sentiment.

Zhu Yuanzhang actively listened to public opinion and also encouraged the public to petition.

In order to let the people have a place to redress their grievances, Zhu Yuanzhang specially set up a Dengwen drum outside the noon gate of Yingtian City and sent a special person to guard it.

Once the people beat the drum, they can go straight to the heavens, and the emperor will personally accept his case.

What Zhu Yuanzhang did was not limited to this.

In the Ming Dynasty, the people could even directly escort corrupt officials to the capital to punish crimes.

This situation can be called an incredible thing in the previous dynasty.

And here in Zhu Yuanzhang, everything seems very natural.

After all, how can the life of a corrupt official be compared with the happy life of the people?

This love letter from all the people can also be said to be a way for the people to petition.

It is even said that it is more important than beating the drum.

After all, what the love letter of the people represents is the public opinion of a village or even a county.

Public opinion is monstrous, and Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to it.

After receiving the love letter from Wanmin Chen handed by Feng Qing, Zhu Yuanzhang studied it carefully.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that this was another incident of denunciating corrupt officials, but he didn't expect that what the people said in their love letter turned out to be Hu Changan's matter!

In the letter of love, Feng Qing wrote down Hu Changan's actions in Jiangning County in detail and fairly.

At the end of the love letter, all the villagers in the villages affected by the epidemic solemnly paid for it.
