Kuizhou Road appeases Pu Hong, are you guilty?

The ministers were stunned, Zhao Hong's eyes were cold, and the appeasement of Kuizhou Road made Pu Hong's heart tremble, and he hurriedly walked out and knelt down.

"Your Majesty...... Below, the minister...... Convicted! ”

An Guizhong frowned, glanced at Pu Hong, and his gaze stayed on his trembling younger brother An Gongxing, and then moved away.

"Pu Hong, what are your crimes?"

Zhao Hong picked up the recital on the table and asked softly.

"Your Majesty...... Below, the minister...... Minister......"

Pu Hong's face was pale, trembling, and speechless.

"Let me tell you. accepted bribes of more than 600,000 yuan, sold official positions, and extorted more than 400,000 yuan; swallowed thousands of hectares of fertile land and forced several people to death; Cool politics and people, the people are not living ......"

Zhao Hong looked at Pu Hong, who was trembling on his knees, and smiled coldly.

"Pu Hong, you are such a good official, how can I thank you?"

Cui He, Gao Dingzi and others in the hall looked at Pu Hong, their faces were full of hatred.

Everyone knows that this gentleman is a cancer in Sichuan's political arena, a fish and a common man, corrupt and perverted the law, and he never imagined committing such a crime.

Thinking about it carefully, the emperor was already purging Sichuan officialdom while promoting and transferring officials.

"Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, the minister is wronged!"

Pu Hong knew that he could not escape the blame, so he shouted injustice.

"Wronged?"

Zhao Hong couldn't help but sneer.

"On my birthday, even I didn't make a big deal of it, when did I order someone to collect taxes from the world? When I was training a new army in Sichuan, when would I levy taxes on the people for training the army? I have decreed the abolition of the excesses and miscellaneous taxes of the people, why do you collect them without permission? You expropriated the people of Kuizhou Road and extorted tyranny, bullied the king, and burdened the people, you are really a big dog! ”

Zhao Hong looked at Pu Hong, who was pale, and his face was pale.

The eyes of the ministers in the hall widened, and some people even shook their heads again and again, gasping.

This Pu Hong is bold enough to collect money, and he can do such a deceptive thing, and he is really innocent of death.

"But be of good cheer, the law is merciless, and it speaks of evidence. The imperial court will not wronged any Qing official. Your case, the Sichuan Anti-Corruption Division and the Sichuan Criminal Division, will give an explanation to the people of the world. ”

Zhao Hong waved his hand in disgust, and the guard dragged the trembling Pu Hong down.

The hall full of Sichuan Shida ladies was silent, and no one dared to come out and cry out for Pu Hong. About everyone knows that this monarch is notorious, and the emperor will not be wronged for no reason.

Zhao Hong looked at Fan Zhong in the hall and nodded slightly.

With so many corrupt officials, it's time to continue to use both grace and power.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a play!"

Fan Zhong walked out directly and said loudly.

An Huizhong glanced at Fan Zhong and the emperor, and then at his trembling brother, and shook his head secretly.

Needless to say, my brother couldn't escape.

"Fan Zhong, you can only play it!"

"Your Majesty, the minister Shen Tongchuan Mansion Road transfer envoy An Gong Xing. An Gongxing privately sold more than 1.3 million stone of official grain, and together with the generals of the Changning Army and the Huai'an Army, he ate more than 900,000 yuan of empty wages over the years. Nearly 10,000 hectares of land and 6 mansions in Tongchuan Mansion ......"

Fan Zhongyi was righteous, talked eloquently, took out the folds that had been prepared a long time ago, as well as a large amount of evidence, and presented them one by one.

"Your Majesty, this is the evidence of An Gongxing's guilt and the confessions and testimony of related people, please give your Majesty a holy lesson."

After taking the large stack of incriminating evidence, Zhao Hong sat on the chair, looked at it carefully for a moment, and waved his hand gently. Dong Songchen took the things down and showed them to the ministers on both sides.

Seeing that the ministers had almost circulated it, Zhao Hong raised his head, looked at An Gongxing, who was trembling, and snorted coldly.

"An Gongxing, are you guilty?"

The second son of the former Sichuan pacification envoy An Bing, the son-in-law of Wei Liaoweng, the squire of the military department, was so greedy and committed many crimes, which was jaw-dropping.

The chief ruler who abused the people in this way shows how unfortunate and miserable the people under his rule are.

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

An Gongxing quickly stood up, knelt under the hall, grabbed the ground with his head, and did not dare to raise his head.

"How can this be justified, the crime is extremely heinous, and the law of the country is intolerable!"

Gao Dingzi, the commander of Sichuan, had a dark face and shouted angrily.

Counting it up, Pujiang Wei Gao's family and An Jia are still in-laws, and in the eyes of outsiders, one is prosperous and the other is lost.

Don't you know that at this time, he was angry and ashamed.

"It's jaw-dropping to be so greedy."

Sichuan made Cui He shake his head and sighed.

The other ministers talked a lot, talking in low voices, mostly shaking their heads.

"Your Majesty, the evidence of An Gongxing's crimes is conclusive, and the responsibility for the crimes is inescapable, including dozens of local officials from the Chengdu Prefecture and Tongchuan Prefecture, who were involved in this matter, and the crimes are of different depths. Please leave it to Your Majesty to decide exactly how to deal with it. ”

Fan Zhong walked out and continued to report to Zhao Hong.

The eyes of the officials in the hall looked at Zhao Hong, who was sitting down.

Although it is said that the punishment is not for doctors, and some doctors in North Korea have been punished for corruption, but last year, when the new policy was implemented on Jiangnan East Road, there was no open door to the doctors who were greedy for ink.

All the ministers are suspicious, not knowing if Zhao Hong will kill the killer this time, just like Jiangnan East Road.

"Are the people from the Sichuan Criminal Division here?"

Zhao Hong's face was ugly, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked.

"Minister Sichuan mentions some prison affairs Zhao Yi, see Your Majesty!"

Zhao Yi, the chief officer of the Sichuan Criminal Division, hurriedly stood up.

"Zhao Ti's punishment, today's big case, is shocking, and not severely punished is not enough to make the people angry. I order you to cooperate with the officials of the Anti-Corruption Division, quickly arrest the officials involved in the case, deal with them impartially, carefully interrogate An Gongxing and his party, and do not wrongfully accuse a good official or let go of a criminal official. Cui Xianggong, I order you to supervise this matter with full authority, and I wait for your results. ”

Zhao Yi and Cui bowed with him, Zhao Hong waved his hand in disgust, and the guards stepped forward and dragged An Gongxing, who shouted "Your Majesty spares his life", down.

Cui and the others shook their heads. Listening to Zhao Hong's words, An Gongxing is done playing.

"Zhao Yi, Fan Zhong, you stay for the time being, there are other matters later."

Zhao Yi and Fan Zhong were about to say goodbye and retire, but they were stopped by Zhao Hong.

Things are not done yet, so there is no need to rush.

All the ministers were terrified, and they did not know who else among them was guilty.

"Your Majesty, the courtier's brother has committed such a shocking crime, the minister's discipline and supervision are not strict, and the responsibility for the crime cannot be escaped. I also ask for your Majesty's permission. The younger brother is ignorant, and please ask Your Majesty to spare the younger brother for the sake of serving the country! ”

An Huizhong, the director of Yiwen, the driver of Sichuan Manufacturing, walked out, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed to Zhao Hong to ask for guilt.

The younger brother committed such a heinous crime, and he, the elder brother, is to blame. With the number of younger brothers' greed for ink, looking at today's posture, the younger brother is afraid that he will be more auspicious.

After this catastrophe, Sichuan settled down, and I am afraid it will decline.

"An Qing, your brother An Gongxing made a big mistake, and the crimes he committed were ruled by the laws of the imperial court. Although I am the son of the Great Song Dynasty, I can't favor one over the other, interfere in the judiciary, make the world laugh, and make the world dissatisfied. ”

Zhao Hong said, but his eyes swept Fan Zhong and Zhao Yi.

Fan Zhong and Zhao Yi were both startled and quickly sat up straight.

The emperor knocked on the side, obviously not casually, but with a warning meaning.

"As for An Qing, you are indeed no longer suitable to work in the Sichuan Preparation and Construction Division. I think about it, in order to protect you, the post of Fujian Road Fuzhou General Judge is still vacant, so you can take it over and go to Fujian to take office and benefit the people. ”

Zhao Hong looked at An Guizhong and said softly.

An Guizhong can be said to be the leader of the Sichuan scholars, and he has been planning to transfer this gentleman out of Sichuan for a long time, and he will never be merciful.

"Your Majesty, please be gracious and spare your brother's life!"

An Guizhong kowtowed violently, and "Bangbang" sounded.

"An Qing, the law is merciless. If An Gongxing has no murder case in his hands, I will open the net and sentence him to exile. If he hurts heaven and reason, I can't do anything. If the family members were not involved, I would not have been innocent. ”

Dozens of people were abused to death, and if they didn't kill An Gongxing, how could they face those innocent undead.

Zhao Hong's attitude was resolute, An Guizhong's face was full of helplessness, kowtowed to thank him, and stood up slowly.

"Minister...... Your Majesty Xie...... Grace of God! ”

can keep his wife and children, this may be the best ending.

The Sichuan ministers in the hall were all frightened. The emperor dealt with the An brothers without mercy, and the system of security officialdom established by An Bing in Sichuan before Sichuan appeasement collapsed in an instant.

"Zhao Yi, Zhang Jin, Pu Hong, the pacification envoy of Kuizhou Road, and An Gongxing, the transfer envoy of Tongchuan Road, the case of these two criminals, the Criminal Division and the Anti-Corruption Department jointly handled the case, and all the officials involved were investigated and handled in accordance with the law. In order to prevent the two of you from being alarmed, you two will mobilize sergeants from the Lizhou battalion, and you can also bring my personal guards to prevent local forces from interfering with the handling of the case. ”

The Pu clan of Kuizhou and the An's clan of Guang'an Jun, both of which are local clans in Sichuan and are deeply rooted. Handling cases in other places is also a last resort.

Zhao Yi and Zhang Jin led the order to leave, and Zhao Hong glanced at the Sichuan officials under the hall, his face gloomy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have said more than once, and the newspapers have repeatedly ordered officials to keep themselves clean, not to be corrupt, and not to be traitors. The harm of corruption and the poison of perverting the law are like a flood of beasts, which is enough to destroy the country and destroy the species. However, under the law, there are still officials who defy the law, one after another, making it difficult for me to sleep and eat. ”

Zhao Hong said and spoke, his voice unconsciously a few degrees higher.

"The law is ruthless, and the court will never let go of any official who commits a traitor! The official of the Great Song Dynasty who was greedy for ink, Pu Hong was not the first, and he would not be the last. Zhuqing, the gentleman cultivates himself and governs the country and the world, the poor are good alone, and the good are good to the world. You are more familiar with these ancient teachings than I am, so don't just talk about them. For one term of office, for the benefit of one party. Let's encourage each other. ”

"Follow Your Majesty's teachings!"

All the ministers in the hall bowed together, and everyone was in awe.

The Anti-Corruption Department is no longer just anti-corruption, even officials are investigating their abuse. Silently, they also took over the affairs of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Criminal Division.

Looking at the emperor's ruthlessness in dealing with the An family and the Pu family, it is not only corruption, but also all officials who violate the law will not have a good life.

Why don't you just make money in the future?

Looking at the restless ministers, Zhao Hong's face was peaceful again.

After all, there are good officials among these people, and the conscience of the society depends on them to maintain the normal operation of the local area and shepherd the people.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have been in the camp in Lizhou for the past few days, and you can come to me if you have anything. I still have some political affairs to deal with today, so let's leave it at that. ”

After pretending to be a ghost, Zhao Hong was also exhausted.

It's too tiring to fight with people.
