Chapter 80 The brighter the bottom, the more difficult it is for the king to behead
This......
When the people in the hall saw Li Guangming so arrogant, they couldn't help but look at each other.
I have seen a lot of arrogant people, but those who dare to be so arrogant in front of Qin Cha are really unseen and unheard of in my life, and today is really an eye-opener.
Wang Yue was confident that he had cultivated his temper over the years, but looking at Li Guangming's face in the hall, he found that this person was even more hateful than those Tartars.
Until now, this person not only has no intention of repentance, but wants to rely on his own money to escape punishment by borrowing the atonement system of the Ming Law.
"Li Guangming, even if you want to atone for your sins, there is no disaster today, so you can't atone for your sins!" Wang Yu, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but speak.
Li Guangming glanced at Wang Yu lightly, and said proudly: "Not to mention the flood in Shandong this autumn, in addition to the loss of corn to atone for the sins, doesn't the imperial court also have Nama to atone for the sins?" The old man had a close relationship with the horse dealer, and it was not a problem to get a hundred or dozens of horses, which was enough to atone for his sins! ”
Wang Yu's brows furrowed, and he found that he really didn't understand the law as well as Li Guangming, and he didn't even know if there was really a disaster in Shandong. It's just that thinking of such a cunning person has nothing to do at the last moment, I can't help but turn my head anxiously to look at my grandfather.
Wang Yue took a deep breath and said to the arrogant Li Guangming in the hall: "Do you know what Your Majesty is responsible for letting Prime Minister Ben Qin send Yan Zheng?" ”
"The imperial court just wants to increase taxes, and it's just money, in fact, it's common sense!" Li Guangming knew that the imperial court was also a greedy mouth, and immediately looked disdainful.
Wang Yue looked at Li Guangming's face in his eyes, but said extremely seriously: "Wrong! His Majesty's message: Salt should be governed by officials and businessmen, and salt should be used to eliminate disadvantages, that's all! ”
Hey?
Hu Guang pressed Yang Jizong to faintly feel that these words had a deep meaning, so he looked at Wang Yue who was sitting in the public hall suspiciously.
"Magistrates? Eliminate cheats? What do you mean by that? Li Guangming always thought that the imperial court still wanted to make money after all, even if it was very incomprehensible.
The people in the hall couldn't understand the meaning, but they vaguely felt that the words passed on by His Majesty to Wang Yue seemed to have a deep meaning, but Wang Yue could understand this deep meaning.
Syllable!
At this moment, Wang Yue grabbed the shocking wood on the table and slapped it heavily on the table.
Mighty - martial!
The soap class officials on both sides of the public hall held the water, fire and wood sticks in their hands and smashed the green bricks in front of them, and their mouths made a mighty sound neatly.
People in the public hall were affected by this man-made noise, and they couldn't help but feel a tingling in their scalps.
"The former Shunde prefect Li Guangming and Xiao Zhang, the prefect of Jingshan County, colluded with each other, and were sheltered by the Jingshan Governor, Li Guangming opened a shop to sell salt, and sold illicit salt in Jingshan County for profit, one convicted of selling illicit salt, the second convicted of colluding with officials and businessmen, the third convicted of knowing the law and breaking the law, and the fourth convicted of monopolizing salt, and the two are sentenced to be sentenced to death!" Wang Yue said loudly.
Decisive decision?
When the people in the hall heard this verdict, they couldn't help but be completely stunned.
Li Guangming originally thought that Wang Yue was just imposing a large amount of punishment on himself, so as to force himself to pay more money to atone for his crimes, but he was dumbfounded when he heard the verdict.
The atonement system is aimed at crimes below the death penalty, but if the death penalty is imposed, it is not allowed to atone for the crime, not to mention that Wang Yue is still sentenced to a summary sentence.
Li Guangming didn't know why Wang Yue wanted to put himself to death like this, so he said angrily: "Wang Shichang, you don't want to abuse the law, this official will not die for his crimes!" ”
"Lord Chincha, please spare your life! The county...... The county doesn't want to die! Xiao Zhixian was already extremely scared at this time, and even begged for mercy.
Huguang pressed Yang Jizong's brows frowned slightly, although he felt that Li Guangming was going to deal with it, but he didn't understand how he could sentence a decisive decision.
"If an ordinary trader sells illicit salt, he will be punished with a rod of 100 rods or three years, and it is not impossible to atone for his sin! It's just that you and Xiao Zhixian joined forces to monopolize the salt market in Jingshan County, and the salt class was damaged, and the people's interests were invaded, why couldn't Ben Qincha kill you? Wang Yue naturally knew that the sentence was indeed heavy, but he didn't feel that there was any problem with explaining.
Li Guangming is considered to be a slippery head in the officialdom, and immediately defended himself: "The lower officials are not convinced!" Not to mention that there is no such provision in the law, you say that the salt damage class is fine, but where does this infringement of the people's interests start? If it weren't for the sale of Guangdong salt by the lower officials, the price of salt in Jingshan would be the same as that of Anlu, and the people of Jingshan would have cheap salt to eat? ”
The people in the hall couldn't help but look at each other, and finally had to accept this fact.
According to the rising trend of Huaiguan salt over the years, if they don't eat Guangdong salt, they can really only eat high-priced salt every day and accept the joint oppression of those officials and businessmen.
"Hugh is going to confuse the public here! If it weren't for the invasion of the people's interests, you Li Guangming would be able to fish and meat every day, and still have the money to entertain Yu Benqincha? Your attempt to sell Guangdong salt is nothing more than salt profit, as for the people of Jingshan to eat high-priced salt, this matter will be solved by Ben Qincha! Wang Yue had already seen through the corners of Li Guangming's greedy mouth, so he retorted truthfully.
Li Guangming felt the killing intent on Wang Yue's body, and warned very seriously: "Lord Qincha, we are originally officials in the same dynasty, and we have to spare and spare people!" To tell you the truth, I am an old friend of Mr. Xu in the same year, and the officialdom is not a fight and killing, but a sophisticated person. Do you really want to offend the entire court officials like you did before? ”
Yang Jizong knew that the Xu scholar that Li Guangming heard about was the emperor Xu Pu, and now he was afraid that he had already entered the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and even became the second assistant of the current dynasty, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wang Yue.
This officialdom is indeed not about fighting and killing, but about human feelings. If Wang Yue is still like before, I am afraid that he will be used to write poems again, and there will still be no one in the entire court to say a word of justice for him.
"The Tao is different, not conspiring with each other! Ben Qin Cha doesn't matter who your backer is, but Ben Qin Cha's backstage is a wise Majesty, even if Master Xu commits a crime, Ben Qin Cha is not wrong, why don't you dare to kill you today! Wang Yue naturally knew that he was still a lonely minister when he acted like this, but he still had a firm belief in authenticity.
Li Guangming found that the person in front of him was simply an officialdom madman, but he still had hole cards after all, and said with a smile: "Lord Qincha, you seem to have forgotten one thing!" ”
"What?" Wang Yue's brows furrowed slightly.
Hey?
Huguang made Yang Jizong aware that Li Guangming looked fearless, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Li Guangming in confusion.
Li Guangming met the confused gazes of the people around him, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Although the lower official is a fourth-grade official in the Shunde prefect, he has completed the examination for nine years, and he has no fault, so he is promoted to the first class." If the lower official remembers correctly, even if you want to behead the lower official, your royal command banner must be played, and you can't make a decision! ”
When things come to this point, they can only be beheaded after the autumn, and then they can use the relationship in the capital to exonerate themselves.
Hey?
The people in the hall didn't expect that the royal order banner would be so exquisite, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
Huguang pressed Yang Jizong to inspect Yang Jizong when he found Wang Yue looking at him, and nodded lightly: "Lord Qincha, this is indeed the case, Li Guangming is from a third-rank official to an official!" ”
"In that case! Someone came, escorted the two to the execution ground, and Ben Qin sent him to personally supervise and behead! Wang Yue took out the order and threw it on the ground, and then gave the order to the tunnel.
"Wang Shichang, you are in chaos, this official is a third-grade official of the imperial court!" Li Guangming saw the order sign that fell in front of him, and roared in horror.
"Huh? Also chop? O Chincha-sama spare his life! Xiao Zhixian was so frightened that he was incontinent, and immediately begged for mercy.
The four brocade guards immediately stepped forward and escorted the two prisoners in the hall together, and someone had already gone to prepare the prisoner car.
Huguang frowned according to Yang Jizong's eyebrows, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Lord Qincha, you didn't go to the imperial court to behead a third-grade official, I'm afraid this move is inappropriate, right?" ”
"Lord Yang, since this is the case, please ask for the king's order with Ben Qincha!" Wang Yue naturally knew that it was indeed inappropriate for him to behead a retired third-grade official without being invited, but he still took a firm position.
"Lord Qincha is going to ask Li's black heart!"
"Let's go, let's take a look, we finally have hope in Jingshan!"
"Chen Lao Liu died strangely, Li Guangming also took advantage of other people's wives, this kind of person is intolerable!"
……
The county seat of Jingshan is not big, and after learning that Lord Qincha was going to ask Li Guangming to behead, the people immediately rushed to the execution ground from all directions, all wanting to witness the scene of Li Guangming being beheaded.
Beheading turned out to be a big deal, not to mention the famous dog officials Xiao Zhixian and Li Guangming, so it attracted the people of the entire county to come to the execution ground to watch.
Dongshi, where the torture table has been set up.
Li Guangming and Xiao Zhixian were escorted over while standing in a prisoner car, and resolutely became death row prisoners from officials in the limelight.
"God has finally opened his eyes!"
"If it weren't for you, the dog official, my father wouldn't have died, retribution is coming!"
"Li Heixin, you have done a lot of evil, I think I really don't know how many evil things you have done!"
……
The people of Jingshan County used to dare to be angry but did not dare to speak, but now when they saw these two Jingshan pests lying in the law, they even threw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at the two of them and scolded.
Li Guangming had been scolding and scolding for himself, but a rotten egg happened to hit his face and made him face, and the unpleasant smell and disgusting fluid finally made him stop.
Lu Song led a sedan chair to the center of the court, and sang very majestically: "The king's order is here, the officials and the people kneel!" ”
Now he has to behead a retired Sanpin official without being invited, and even if Wang Yue is a messenger, he can't be directly beheaded, so he needs to invite the king out.
The flag symbolizes the emperor's order, and there is a certain ritual when you use it, so it is called the king's order.
"Your courtiers respectfully ask the king!" Wang Yue led Yang Jizong and other officials to the front of the sedan chair, and knelt respectfully to greet him.
"Wang Shichang, since you have no right to directly behead the official when you ask for the king's order flag, you are a mess......" Li Guangming was escorted to the execution platform and still shouted, but his eyes glanced at the sedan chair and was suddenly stunned.
