Chapter 67: Corrupt Officials Must Die
Liu He thought for a while and asked, "Tian Bu Xi, at this moment, how much grain is still on the widow's account?" β
"Big, about three million dollars."
Tian Buxi's voice trembled a little, and he seemed to feel that these two numbers were a little unreasonable.
"Hmph, you are a small official with a hundred stones, and your family wealth is more than that of the widow, the king of Changyi, do you think you should die, should you be chopped up to adult?!"
The word "Renbi" Liu He said very loudly, and it echoed in the main hall for a long time.
Tian Buxi didn't expect to be frightened and fainted on the spot, and then, everyone smelled a fishy smell emanating from under his crotch.
Liu He didn't care about this "dead man" anymore, but said to An Le: "Although Tian Buxi is much greedy, the widow thinks that the money left in the palace is still too little. β
"Please speak up to Your Highness."
Liu He pointed to the corrupt officials who were still wailing outside the door of the main hall, and said: "I'm afraid that those people kneeling outside the door are also very greedy, and they have to work hard and be happy to have a good trial, and they will be given justice!" β
Liu He's last sentence was categorical, so shocked that Changyi took a step back, and swore again and again that he would definitely investigate to the end and never tolerate it.
So the widow went back, hoping to hear the good news of peace and happiness within three days.
"Yui!" An Le simply responded neatly.
Liu He and Yu stood up without worrying and walked towards the outside of the hall.
When Liu He was about to walk out of the main hall gate, he suddenly stopped again.
After thinking about it, he walked in front of An Le.
"An Qing, the widow has something to ask."
"Your Highness, please speak."
"This Tian father and son have been in charge of Shaofu Pavilion for decades, and An Lexiang has been in Changyi Country for a few years, haven't you heard a little rumor?"
"ThisγThis is the negligence of the lower officials." An Le said a little nervously.
"The widow believes in An Qing's character, but An Qing also has to think about why such a big thing, but you don't know anything, whether you will be the home of this Changyi country, or this group of rats."
"The widow is the blood of the ancestors, the son and nephew of the current county official, the king of Changyi, and the widow of this hundred stones dare to bully the head of the widow."
"And this Changyi country has more than a dozen counties, thousands of large and small officials, and millions of cloth people, An Qing knows if these officials will ride on the people's bodies to make a fortune?"
"Then An Qing has to think about it, are you too relaxed as a Changyi minister?"
Liu He's words shot at An Le like a cluster of arrows, shooting this self-proclaimed An Le to the fullest.
"This, this ......"
An Le was speechless, he and His Highness had not met a few times, and every time they met, they were very pleasant, why was he so tough today.
"The widow can't meddle in state affairs, but An Lexiang should take care of the home of this Changyi country for the widow, and usually go to the people to walk around to see what the people eat in their bowls and what they are wearing."
Seeing this forty or fifty-year-old Confucian-born official sweating profusely by himself, Liu He suddenly felt a little guilty again.
In fact, this Anle has done well enough, this is not his problem alone, but the problem of this big man.
From Emperor Gaozu to the present, the Han has enjoyed the national honor for more than 100 years.
How can an elderly person not have all kinds of minor problems?
It is impossible to cure the old man's illness, only to find a way to make the old man become a young man.
Thinking of this, Liu He, who realized that he had spoken seriously, bowed to An Le and said, "An Qing, I was offended by my words just now, but I still hope that An Qing can make the people of Changyi State live a better life." β
"Liu He thanked me again."
Liu He didn't say the widow, but said his own name, which means that he put his identity to the lowest.
How dare An Le hold it up, and hurriedly returned the gift and accepted it.
Liu He didn't say anything more, and walked straight out of the main hall.
When passing by the side of the dozen corrupt officials and corrupt officials, he said fiercely: "Don't cry here, honestly explain things clearly, the widow can also say a few good words for you, if you dare to hide it, the widow will fight for this throne, and you will also make you a man!" β
It is true that Liu He is the king of Changyi, it is true that the king of Changyi is the king of the princes, and it is not false that the princes and kings have no real power.
But if you have to kill a few hundred stone officials, you still have the ability.
So as soon as Liu He's words came out, a few timid officials were so frightened that they foamed at the mouth and fainted.
Liu He turned a blind eye and walked towards the group of villagers and elders behind them.
When he walked in front of them, Liu He's frosty expression melted little by little, and instantly became warm.
Compared with those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, these cloth-clothed people are really much cute.
Zhang San and Guan Er stood at the front of the crowd, each of them had eaten four cakes and two bowls of bean rice at noon, and they were still burping.
And the clothes on their chests were bulging, as if something was hidden.
This is the "greed" of the common people, but their "greed" is understandable, because it should have been theirs.
Liu He said with a smile: "Old two, are the cakes and dishes of this prime minister's house still palatable?" β
The two brothers didn't expect His Highness to ask themselves, so they nodded again and again, but they couldn't speak.
"Would you like to eat this bread every day?"
The two brothers continued to nod their heads.
"Okay, the widow will do what he says!"
Then, Liu He saluted everyone again and said loudly: "Thank you for coming to help, your kindness will not be forgotten." β
People returned the favor.
Then, Dai Zong took everyone to leave the Xiangfu along the original side door, and Liu He also walked out of the gate of the Xiangfu accompanied by Yu Wuwu.
Outside the door, the luxurious and stately car was ready.
For some reason, Liu He also has a sense of guilt, isn't his enjoyment also the people's fat and people's ointment?
It seems that only by making them better day by day can he have peace of mind.
"Your Highness, please get in the car." Yu Wuwu reminded behind him.
"Wait, there's something else going on with the widow."
After Liu He said this, he came to the door pavilion next to the gate.
A figure rushed out and knelt down in front of Liu He.
"The villain Jiang Yu asked the door to be safe!"
Liu He saw that his legs and feet were still shaking, so he reached out and helped him up.
"The widow injured you, has the palace compensated you?"
"Yes, it's the villain who is blocking His Highness's way!"
"From this month onwards, someone will send you two thousand dollars every month, and the right to make amends for your sins."
"The villain doesn't dare, dare to be!" Jiang Yu knelt down again.
"If you don't dare to be, I'm afraid the widow won't be able to sleep at night."
After Liu He finished speaking, Jiang Yu couldn't raise his head, so he walked out of the door and got into the car.
With a whip sound, the car drove away in billowing dust.
It wasn't until the car completely disappeared in front of him that Jiang Yu stood up from the ground.
"Your Highness, were you making amends for me just now?"
Jiang Yu suddenly found that his hands and feet were no longer trembling, and his heartbeat slowed down.
When the dust settled, in a corner of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was secretly writing down everything that happened today.
