An Zhushu explained: "The money for each person to be compensated this time is basically between 100 taels and 500 taels, although this amount of money is much higher than the compensation in other cases, but if it is used to settle down, there are still certain problems." ”

"How?"

"Chang'an is big, and it's not easy to live. These people are basically natives of Chang'an, and their families are originally rich and poor, but at least they all have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. But after such a fuss, their home is gone, and they need to start anew.

If you take money to live in the countryside, it's not impossible, but you are used to being a Chang'an person, and no one wants to go to other places. ”

Xiao Rui frowned: "Is it just because of money?" If this is the case, I want to re-evaluate the compensation plan, after all, this time it is not the imperial court compensation, but Feng Deyi's personal compensation. If they have damaged the peace of the people, then they should restore their homes and pay additional compensation. ”

Master An hurriedly waved his hand, "No, my lord misunderstood." The compensation plan you have set is very reasonable. Most of the people who were bullied were poor families, there was only one down-and-out nobleman, and there was another rich merchant family, which was the wealth of the family.

Everyone, including these two, was paid compensation in excess of their original family property, and the compensation for the death of each person in the family was calculated separately. Enough for them to rebuild their homes. ”

Xiao Rui smiled, "In that case, just go back and rebuild your home, what contradiction is there?" ”

Master An smiled bitterly: "Alas, the main thing is safety. Everyone is afraid of the revenge of the Feng family after the fact. When he took the seal, he relied on the courage of hatred and blood, and was not afraid of death. It also has the meaning of the wall falling down and everyone pushing it.

Although everyone is not afraid of death, it is better to die than to live, especially now that Feng Yandao is dead, the revenge has to be avenged, everyone is the only seedling in the family, and no one wants to die again. ”

Xiao Rui smiled, "The Feng family has fallen, and Feng Deyi has no days to live, so what is the revenge?" I'm worried. ”

An Zhushu said: "Otherwise, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and there are many protégés of the Feng family, in case there is one who wants to help the Feng family avenge... ”

"Who dares to take revenge? You should come to me, I welcome it with both hands. Xiao Rui said disdainfully.

Master An smiled bitterly: "Don't tease, sir, who dares to look for you?" That's not looking for death. They only dare to bully the weak, and attack these helpless ordinary people behind their backs. ”

Xiao Rui is a beginner and really doesn't know much about this kind of thing, so he asked in a deep voice, "What do you think?" Is there really such a big hidden danger? ”

After pondering for a moment, Master An still chose to follow his own ethics, nodded and said, "Alas, this kind of accident has happened before. In Datang, the reason why the people dare not sue the officials is because most of the officials are from the nobility, and behind the aristocrats are all intertwined, wanting to bully the people, hehe, it is no different from crushing an ant to death.

Complaining to the public is no different from looking for death. If you are lucky, you will die, and if you are unlucky, the egg will hit the stone. And the latter is the majority. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Rui was silent, he was also from a noble family, and in terms of personal strength, it was true.

Your Xiao Rui's personal strength? Pull it down, there is no need to compare you at all, you belong to the top nobles of the Tang Dynasty, your father is the Prime Minister and the founding prince, the family is the Lanling Xiao family, a wealthy family for hundreds of years, how many people in the Tang Dynasty can compare with you?

What Master An said is that even the power of a seven-rank petty official is impossible for those ordinary people to resist.

"Hmph, the civil prosecutor is looking for death? That was before, and it will be the Tang Dynasty in the future, and it won't be anymore. I, Xiao Rui, advocate reversing this situation, as long as I am in Yushitai for one day, I will open the door and ask for the people's lives.

The people of the world have been oppressed for a long time, and they all look forward to the fairness and justice of the world to make decisions for them. But when the court was first established, everything was in ruins, there were strong enemies outside, and there were gate valves inside, even His Majesty had no time to make decisions for the people.

In this case, no one is in charge, I am in charge, and I, Xiao Rui, can't see the bullying behavior the most. ”

Master An reminded in a low voice: "My lord, you are also from a noble background, so you should not be too strong. And you alone can't fight against all the powerful in the world. ”

Hearing the worry in the other party's words, he knew that he was kind of persuasion, so Xiao Rui didn't get angry, but laughed out loud, and that laughter stole a strong sense of confidence and arrogance. attracted many subordinate colleagues to surround him.

I only heard Xiao Rui say: "In the past, the First Emperor of Great Qin built the Great Wall to protect the people of the world. Today, I am in the Tang Dynasty, and the generals of the military department are brave soldiers, using the blood of swords and soldiers as the city bricks, defending the frontier and defending the country, and building a Great Wall of flesh and blood. ”

"The Dali Temple of the Criminal Department uses the law of the criminal prison as a brick and stone to build a fair and just Great Wall of national law."

"And I, Yushitai, am responsible for supervising the world, that is, to use the people's will as a brick and stone to build an unbreakable Great Wall of the people's hearts for the Tang Dynasty!"

"If there is no one in the world to redress the grievances of the people, who will still trust the court? Once something happens, it's all grass on the wall, whether the Tang Dynasty or the Great Sui are in charge, the people don't seem to care, who wins them and whom. ”

"But this is not the kind of monarchy-to-people relationship we want. His Majesty once said: The king is on the water, the people are on the boat, the water can carry the boat, and the water can overturn the boat! It is said that those who win the hearts of the people win the world, Xiao Rui deeply thinks so, and admires it very much. ”

"Now that our Yushitai is the errand of the Tang Dynasty, and the rice bowl rewarded by His Majesty, how can we not do our best to guard the Great Wall of trust built by the people for Your Majesty?"

"Whether it is the powerful and powerful scholars, or the deep-rooted court officials, or the sesame officials of the common people below, anyone who dares to damage this Great Wall of trust is our enemy."

"Others are afraid of offending people, but I, Xiao Rui, am not afraid. I can't control other yamen, but in the Yushitai, in the six places that I Xiao Rui is in charge of, who doesn't dare to stand up for the people, greedy for life and afraid of death? Hmph, get the hell out of here.

If you want to go to other places to find a stable place, I will approve the slip and release the person. If you want to go to other yamen to mess around, I will ask Dr. Wei to help coordinate.

In a word, I have six places in the Imperial History Terrace, as long as I am like-minded, I dare to ask for the people's lives! ”

After saying this, all the subordinates who said it were deafening and enthusiastic, and they all knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly: "I am willing to swear to follow the adults to the death, and fight to the end with the world's bullies!" ”

"Good!" Xiao Rui was very satisfied, he didn't waste his tongue.

At this time, a six-rank imperial historian in the three places shouted dissatisfiedly: "Lord Xiao, I don't like to listen to what you say, why if there are people in the six of you who are greedy for life and afraid of death, you will approve the slip and send it to another place?" Is it difficult that we are a place to collect waste that is greedy for life and afraid of death? I don't want it anywhere! ”

"Yes, Lord Wang is right, we don't want it anywhere!"

"We don't have any seeds here!"

。。。

Wei Zheng listened quietly, and when he saw this scene, he walked over calmly, and everyone looked at him.

I saw that the chief official of the Imperial History Observatory was slowly applauding in front of everyone, and it became faster and faster, and his eyes were full of relief and appreciation.

At this time, silence is better than sound, everyone was moved to wet their eyes, and the applause of Yushitai was thunderous.
