In front of the Fengtian Palace, Han Yike's voice was deafening:

"Most of the people who complained have suffered the triple infringement of Xungui's local households, the Fengyang government, and the Ministry of Industry! In addition, the newly settled immigrants during the Hongwu period accounted for ninety percent of the people who sued!

"And this is only a petition received within ten days, and there are still many people from other counties who have not had time to come to complain. There are also many people who are afraid of reprisals and do not dare to file complaints. and a large number of people who have already died in their families, and they can't come to sue! ”

"Han Yike, you don't smear our Fengyang!" Finally, someone couldn't help but jump to their feet and said, "What do you mean it's too late?" Don't dare to come, can't come? It's all your guessing! ”

"That is, there is no excuse for the sin that you want to add!" The nobles echoed one after another, and at this time, they couldn't care about Boss Zhu's face, so they hurriedly muddied the water.

"Fart, what's a guess? Living examples are right before your eyes! Zhu Yuanzhang burst into a shout, and immediately suppressed the petty arrogance, he pointed to the woman who sang the flower drum words and said:

"This woman is Shen Wansan's granddaughter! She was destroyed by the family that they worked together to kill and escaped death. On the day we return to our hometown, she will stop the driver and sue the royal complaint, and you will stop her, and then send her back to be burned to death! ”

The woman took off her colorful wrap. Everyone saw that her head and face were covered with gauze, and she looked very terrifying.

Seeing her, everyone remembered Li You who was burned alive, and no one dared to squeak when they landed.

"On the first day of our ascension, we issued an edict saying that if the people have grievances, they can go directly to Beijing to complain, they can beat the drum, or they can stop the lawsuit! They dared to pretend to be Japanese to intercept the people of Beijing, and even cut off people's heads and send them home, which is really mad and arrogant! Zhu Yuanzhang scolded with a dark face:

"And that Ding Bin, he not only dared to intercept the bitter master who sued the emperor, but also dared to hide it and not report it, and deal with the bitter master in private! I really ate the heart of a bear and a leopard gall! Is there still a royal law in his eyes, and is there still an emperor like us?!

"With so many witnesses and material evidence in front of you, don't you still admit that you have done a good deed?" Zhu Yuanzhang hugged his arms and coldly swept the two rows of long tables on the left and right.

Everyone lowered their heads, and they no longer had the arrogance they had just now.

"Why don't you speak? Aren't you all heroes who were the founding heroes of the country, heroes who are not afraid of heaven and earth? A good man is a good man, and if you dare to do it, you have to dare to admit it! ”

There is still a dead silence in front of the Golden Palace, who dares to admit it? If you admit that the moment is a death, and it is estimated that the death will be ugly. I don't admit that there may be a slow turn in the future......

"You still don't admit it, do you?" Seeing that no one dared to respond, Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said: "It doesn't matter, we will let Han Yike - not only Han Yike, but also Liu Bowen and the people of Yushitai will come to check separately, one by one!" Verify one by one, deal with one, verify 10,000 and deal with 10,000, no matter who is involved, we will never tolerate it! Never forgive! No mercy! ”

The heads of the people were lowered, as if they were overpowered by Mount Tai......

Seeing them hanging their heads and looking like bears in mourning, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly raised his voice and said:

"Drink!"

The crowd shuddered with fright, and hurriedly picked up their glasses and drank the bitter wine. One by one, they drank with sad faces, feeling even more bitter than the previous cup......

"Bitter gall wine bitter, right? But in our hearts, it is ten times more bitter than this wine! Zhu Yuanzhang patted his heart heavily and said bitterly:

"You are all our old folks, old brothers, and old brothers' sons and nephews, all relatives who have broken bones and tendons with us. We wholeheartedly want to share the wealth with you and protect the Ming Dynasty for generations.

"But we have also repeatedly reminded you that only by obeying the law can we start and finish well. Don't think that the country is yours, you Lao Tzu beat down, you are a human being, you can abuse the people as livestock! You can unscrupulously corrupt the law, abuse power and harm the people, and not be punished at all! ”

"No, you're wrong, you're wrong! We said a long time ago that we were all mud legs at the beginning, and it was because Qianyuan made us unable to live that we rebelled! If we become the faint traitors and corrupt officials of the former Yuan, our ordinary people will not be able to live, and they will also rebel against us!

"So we can't let ourselves be dumb kings, and we will never allow you to be traitors, corrupt officials! Whoever dares to make the common people unable to live, let's let him die first! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's roar shocked the nobles in horror, looking like quails.

"We have a basket of soft words, hard words, and warning words! lest you be a deaf ear, we also set up an iron list outside the Fengtian Temple in Nanjing, so that you can see it every day! I command you to get up every morning and recite the commandments.

"Let's also kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, and the small punishment is over. Isn't Liao Yongzhong's fate enough to sound the alarm for you? But don't say it again, we didn't give you a chance! We've given you a lot of opportunities! During the Chinese New Year, we have made another order, right? Have you reformed your ways?! ”

The nobles were red-faced and had nothing to say.

"Han Yike, all the honors and nobles are not bills, and they are all bounded by the promulgation of the iron list. What happened before the iron list is not to blame in the past. After the occurrence of the iron list, no preferential treatment will be given, and it will be disposed of in accordance with the provisions of the iron list! Zhu Yuanzhang ordered in a deep voice, paused and added:

"In addition, all cases that happened this year will be added to the crime!"

"Yes!" Han Yike responded loudly.

~~

After reprimanding Xungui, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to his fellow villagers again.

"And you. Relying on our old folks, relying on our love for you, this is only a few days of good life? actually followed Xungui to bully the new immigrants!

"Why do we want to emigrate? Isn't it because of the disasters and hardships in my hometown, there are not many people anymore? We forced people to leave their hometowns and move to Fengyang, so that their hometown can recover their vitality and prosper as soon as possible! Is it for you to bully? ”

The old folks are not like Xungui, they have long been yelled at by Zhu Yuanzhang into hob meat. They had never seen Hong Wuye, who was always smiling, and he had such a scary face!

"You are still acting for the tiger and helping those powerful people to deceive us together! It's just a matter of singing praises on the Golden Palace, let's invite you to dinner in private and ask you about the situation in your hometown, what do you say? Not a word of truth! All of them are playing sloppy for Xungui! Are you worthy of our trust? Do you have the right conscience?

"Don't forget, you are also ordinary people, and you are also people who have grown up in bitter water! It is because we see that you are pitiful, so we allow you not to be poor and not to pay for food! People say that Cang Liao knows etiquette and etiquette, when he comes to you, why did he change his body when he had a good life, and he became a hideous local tyrant and inferior gentry? ”

Many old folks sobbed, and they didn't know whether they were ashamed or frightened.

But Zhu Yuanzhang, once his heart hardens, he will be hard-hearted, and he will never be soft-hearted again. I only heard him say coldly:

"We were wrong, we were really wrong. We thought that the tax exemption was helping you, but now it seems that it is harming you! Let you become an abomination, and lose the most precious purity of the common people. So we have to correct this mistake! ”

As he spoke, he raised his voice and said word by word:

"Decree to cancel all preferential treatment for the people of Fengyang and Linhuai counties. From next year onwards, all the people in the two counties, whether new or native, will pay food and serve according to the rules! No discrimination, no more difference! ”

ps. Second Update. After writing the first update in the morning, I began to have a pain all over my body, and my head hurt, so I guess I was also hit, so I quickly bought oseltamivir and ate it. I don't know if I can carry it. Also, if I can take one pill in this case, do I have to eat it again?
