"Go ahead, write down the things you want to report or turn yourself in!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly and said lightly.

Yan Liangjie and Fang Ziming were stunned and wrote out?

Where to write?

"Come to the back!"

At this time, Guo An, who had been standing behind, seemed to be aware of the thoughts of the two gentry, smiled faintly, and said.

Hearing this, Yan Liangjie and Fang Ziming turned around to take a look, and then they saw the king of Shunde sitting in the back!

Then, after seeing the thick pile of guilt in Guo An's hand, he couldn't help but feel dizzy.

Kuang Ben is so shameless, he actually wrote so many crimes?

Thinking about it, the two hurriedly walked towards the two tables.

After sitting down, I quickly began to write.

Kuang Ben's old thieves have already taken the lead, they can't be too late!

It's just that it didn't take a while.

Then another lieutenant came in to report, and someone asked to see His Royal Highness the Prince!

Hearing this, Yan Liangjie and Fang Ziming were even more shocked in their hearts, and hurriedly quickened their movements.

As for Zhu Gaochi, he directly let that person in.

Naturally, another official who wants to be reported.

Seeing Yan Liangjie and Fang Ziming, who were writing hard, the official's eyes widened directly.

These two old thieves are so fast?

Kneel down and plead guilty......

In this way, people have always come to secretly ask to see the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, and then ask for a report.

It lasted until half the night, and when it was over, no one came.

And in the hall, the written charges have begun to be loaded in baskets.

As for Guo An and Zhu Gaochi, they had already fallen asleep when they were in Xu.

Staying up late hurts the body the most, so they don't accompany those thieves to waste their lives!

Of course.

In the entire Kaifeng Mansion, it seems that except for Guo An and Zhu Gaochi, everyone has stayed up all night!

On the second day, the two of them were refreshed.

I saw that Wang Zhen and Xia Yuanji, the waiter of the household department, Zhang Sigong, the waiter of the criminal department, as well as the officials who accompanied the imperial history of the Ducha, the criminal department, and Dali Temple, all stood in the hall with strange faces.

As soon as they came to Kaifeng Fucheng, they began to vigorously provide disaster relief.

As for Zhu Gaochi and Guo An's behavior yesterday, they only heard about it, but they didn't pay much attention to it.

However, they never imagined that this was only a day's work.

Kaifeng Mansion was taken down by more than half of the officials and gentry.

Other than that.

Yesterday, the officials of Kaifeng Mansion who were still following them and assisting them in disaster relief knelt here early this morning, as if they wanted to ask the crown prince Zhu Gaochi for their guilt.

Are these officials in Kaifeng Mansion crazy about their hearts?

It's just that when they came in and saw the big baskets of accusations in the hall, they couldn't speak anymore!

My heart was full of shock.

The crown prince and the king of Shunde do not seem to let Jinyiwei be executed, and these officials actually confessed all their crimes.

They seem to have seen that a few years ago, in the group that happened in the Beijing Division, the students reported the teachers, the lower officials reported the upper officials, the gentry reported the officials, and the upper officials reported all the officials below...... Ridiculous!

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Zhu Gaochi greeted mildly, and then looked at the ten baskets of crimes in front of him, and was a little surprised.

"Why are there so many crimes?"

Wang Zhen hurriedly replied: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, those thief officials who were imprisoned by Weichen last night, in the middle of the night, they all begged Weichen to let Weichen bring them pen, ink, paper and inkstone, to confess their crimes, and report some thieves and evil gentry, wanting to atone for their crimes!" ”

"It's all reported?"

Zhu Gaochi asked again.

Wang Zhen said: "Back to Your Highness, there are still a few thieves and evil gentlemen, who are unrepentant, and there is no movement all night!" ”

"Very good!"

Zhu Gaochi smiled faintly, "Pick out the crimes of those unrepentant thieves and gentry, and then bring someone to investigate."

After the evidence was conclusive, he was directly pulled outside Kaifeng City, and the whole family was beheaded, giving an explanation to the people in Kaifeng Mansion! ”

"Obey!"

Wang Zhen replied with a solemn face, and walked out quickly.

In the hall, all the officials couldn't help but feel sorry.

Zhu Gaochi said again: "Everyone, I don't know how the disaster relief situation in Kaifeng Mansion is? ”

Xia Yuanji, the head of the household department, said: "Back to Your Highness, the food and various materials needed by the affected people of more than 10,000 households in Kaifeng Mansion have been distributed.

Now, it's time to help them fix their house! ”

"Hmm!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly, and then looked at Zhang Sigong, the waiter of the Criminal Department, as well as officials such as Ducha Yushi, the Criminal Department, and Dali Temple.

"So many crimes, you all pick them up and take a look, this is my good official of the Ming Dynasty!

There are also those gentry, who have read the books of sages and sages, and who know etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame, and the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period!

As a result, all the backs are full of male thieves and female prostitutes, doing all kinds of evil!

You officials don't know how to supervise hundreds of officials in my Ming Dynasty! ”

"The minister is guilty!"

The hearts of the officials trembled, and they hurriedly pleaded guilty with shame.

"Look at it!"

Zhu Gaochi said in a deep voice, "After reading it, you will talk about how to deal with these thieves and evil gentry!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhang Sigong took the lead in coming out, walked to a basket, picked up a pile of accusations, and looked at it!

The more I looked, the more gloomy my my my eyes became.

Seeing this, officials such as the Imperial History, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple on the side also looked at it.

They were also a little curious about what kind of crimes these Kaifeng officials had written.

After all.

Don't talk about other people, they have done it themselves.

After reading a few pages, the crowd fell silent.

It's them who are wrong!

Zhang Sigong said coldly: "Back to Your Highness, these corrupt officials and evil gentry should be killed one by one!" ”

"Your Highness, especially this river patrol imperial history, is guilty of ten thousand deaths, and his clansmen should also be exiled!"

"Your Highness, these river officials and gate officials should also be killed and exiled from their clansmen!"

"Your Highness, this inspection ......"

"It's rare, you also think that these corrupt officials and evil gentry deserve death!"

Zhu Gaochi said with some sarcasm.

All the officials couldn't help but look at each other.

"The officials of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple stayed, and the rest of the people went to deal with the government affairs of Kaifeng Mansion, although so many corrupt officials and corrupt officials were arrested, but the government affairs of Kaifeng Mansion must not be messed up!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

The crowd answered, and slowly retreated.

In the hall, there are only officials from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple.

Zhu Gaochi continued: "You will sort out the crimes of the officials and gentry on these charges in detail, and count the people who have committed the most heinous crimes, and make separate statistics for those who have committed lesser crimes!" ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Although he was a little surprised in his heart, Zhang Sigong didn't ask much.

There is nothing to ask about a group of mortal officials.

However, by looking at the crimes, he seems to see that there are officials and gentry, who are persecuted, but in fact they still have some moral conscience.

These officials should be classified as those who have committed lesser crimes.

As for the remaining thieves and gentry......

After a few conversations, they began to sort out the statistics.

As for Guo An, he followed Zhu Gaochi, walked out of the house, and began to check the entire Kaifeng Mansion.

Perhaps, it was because of a group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, as well as those evil gentry who were arrested, and the entire family was copied.

The entire Kaifeng Mansion, from top to bottom, has become positive.

Even, walking on the street, you can hear many people talking in whispers, and their mouths are full of praise for Zhu Gaochi, the prince of the Ming Dynasty.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise, and finally arrested those corrupt officials and evil gentry!"

"Especially those river officials, they are all more greedy, and their hearts are darker!"

"Yes, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can kill the minions of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, it will be very happy!"

"I heard that some corrupt officials will be killed in a while!"

"Let's go, let's see!"

"However, after these corrupt officials and corrupt officials are killed, those minions have no shelter and will be finished!"

"It's better to cut down all those black-hearted scoundrels!"

"It will definitely ......"

After listening for a while, Zhu Gaochi looked at Wang Zhen behind him.

Wang Zhen hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the minions of these people should be a group of thugs raised by those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and if there is anything they are inconvenient to do, they can be handed over to these people."

And in the matter of oppressing the people, these scoundrels are the most ruthless! ”

A cold light flashed in Zhu Gaochi's eyes, and he said coldly: "Go and investigate and investigate, and kill those scoundrels who are deeply sinful."

The rest of the scoundrels were directly forcibly called into labor, and the matter of building the city wall and the embankment was handed over to them! ”

"Wechen obeys!"

Wang Zhen responded, and quickly arranged for his Jinyi guards to find it.

For these scoundrels, it is much easier to catch than those corrupt officials.

In less than half a day, a group of brocade guards directly arrested hundreds of people.

on this.

The people of the entire Kaifeng Mansion were full of joy.

And Xia Yuanji and other officials were also full of joy.

They are worried about how to recruit laborers!

……

"Prince!"

When Zhu Gaochi went back, Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, walked in with a happy face.

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly saluted, "I've seen Uncle Wang!" ”

Zhu Hu asked directly: "I heard that you arrested the officials of Kaifeng Mansion cleanly?" ”

"Exactly!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly, and then told everything about last night.

After listening, Zhu Hu's face was full of disdain.

"These officials, all of them are sanctimonious, they didn't expect to come here, but they are so shameless, and they do these dirty things behind their backs, and they are not soft at all!"

"yes!"

Zhu Gaochi looked indignant, "I never thought that my Ming officials had rotted like this!" ”

"If the imperial examination is still there, they will all be executed one by one!"

Zhu Hu said hatefully.

Zhu Gaochi: "......"

Is this dissatisfied with his father?

Seeing this, Zhu Hu seemed to realize that something was wrong, smiled, and hurriedly said: "I will give a performance to Your Majesty in a while, and request that these thieves be executed one by one!" ”

"Uncle Wang can play!"

Zhu Gaochi didn't stop him.

Anyway, the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion have been handed over to him to be fully responsible.

It would be very good if you could use Ling Chi to scare those officials in the court!

Then, he spoke again for a while.

Zhu Hu left.

Night.

A quick ride rushed out of Kaifeng City.

This will, the city wall of Kaifeng Mansion has not yet begun to be built, and there is no city gate.

All in and out freely!

Next.

Zhang Sigong and others finally counted the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Kaifeng Mansion, as well as the severity of the crimes of those evil gentry.

"Kuang Ben, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, can be pardoned?"

After reading the first official, a trace of surprise flashed in Zhu Gaochi's eyes.

"Exactly!"

Zhang Sigong hurriedly said, "Back to Your Highness, Kuang Ben was only moved to Kaifeng Mansion last year.

This year, only some officials gave him some filial piety, adding up to a total of 2,500 taels of silver!

These silver taels are not corruption!

In addition, Kuang Ben was the first to take the initiative to surrender to His Royal Highness, and Weichen felt that he could be pardoned!

However, in the end, how to convict this person still needs to be decided by His Highness! ”

"For the time being, according to what Zhang Qing said!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly.

"Your Highness is merciful!"

Zhang Sigong hurriedly flattered respectfully, and then said again: "There are Yan Liangjie and Fang Ziming under him...... These officials are greedy.

At the same time, there is also snatching and usurping.

However, after careful investigation, these officials were either deceived or encountered some rogue people......"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly, "Hmm!" ”

Seeing this, Zhang Sigong continued to report.

"Your Highness, the remaining sixteen officials, forty officials, and thirteen gentry, since they are a group of evil people, they deserve to die, and they will be wiped out!"

"Bring it!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly and said again.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Zhang Sigong was stunned, and hurriedly sent the crime in his hand to Zhu Gaochi.

Zhu Gaochi looked at it for a long time, and there was not much difference from what he thought yesterday.

So, I nodded slowly.

"The level of crime counted by Zhang Shilang is quite fair!"

Zhang Sigong was overjoyed.

Zhu Gaochi said again: "In this way, then these corrupt officials, corrupt officials and evil gentry, as well as those who are deeply guilty in their families, will be pulled outside Kaifeng City, and at noon tomorrow, they will be beheaded and displayed to the public!" ”

Zhang Sigong was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, there are so many officials, do you want to ask Your Majesty?" ”

"No need!"

Zhu Gaochi shook his head slowly, "Before Gu came to Kaifeng Mansion, my father had already given Gu an edict that the matter of Kaifeng Mansion would be handled by Gu Quanquan!"

As for those officials of the Third Division of Henan, just hand it over to the emperor! ”

"Wechen obeys!"

Zhang Sigong asked again: "Your Majesty, how should I deal with those who don't know the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, Kuang Ben, as well as Yan Liangjie and Fang Ziming, who have committed lesser crimes?" ”

"Humph!"

Zhu Gaochi snorted coldly, "Kuang Ben, Yan Liangjie, and Fang Ziming, these officials, one by one, know the law and break the law, and even conceal it and do not report it, which should be the same crime."

But he voluntarily surrendered and reported it.

For the time being, spare his life, but the death penalty can be forgiven, and the living crime cannot be escaped.

Tomorrow, when the beheadings are made at noon, they will go together and experience it! ”

"Experience?"

Zhang Sigong looked surprised.

"Hmm!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly, "Put shackles on them all, and prepare executioners for them, but when beheading, don't really cut off their heads, let them experience how happy it is to be alive!" ”

"This ......"

Hearing this, Zhang Sigong's expression froze, and then he praised Zhu Gaochi with admiration on his face.

"Your Highness is wise, this move will definitely make Kuang Ben and Yan Liangjie these officials remember it for the rest of their lives, and they will never dare to commit adultery again!"

"You must not let them know about this!"

"Wechen understands!"

Zhang Sigong nodded again and again, and then went down to prepare!

Inside the hall.

Wang Zhen also reported: "Back to Your Highness, those unrepentant thieves and evil gentry will also be beheaded outside the city for public display in a while, I wonder if Your Highness wants to go and check it out?" ”

"Don't go yet!"

Zhu Gaochi shook his head slowly.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Wang Zhen replied and walked down.
