Chapter 284: Relying on the Old and Selling the Old?
The next day, before the morning fog in Tongcheng had dissipated, some officials dressed in court clothes walked towards the county office.
This time is completely different from the last time they went, the last time, they went with a beautiful scenery and a joyful mood, this time, it seems that no one has a smile on their faces, as if everyone has a sullen sadness on their faces.
And this time, Lord Liu walked in front, his face no longer had that frivolous smile, and at this time there was a strong perseverance on his face, which made him like a clear stream in the crowd.
Every step that Lord Liu takes, it seems to be one step closer to the light ahead.
When he came to the county office, Zhou Yang was not here.
But the officials were still divided into two sides with a sad face, one side was a faction with Lord Zhang, in the past, Lord Liu had always stood behind the side of Lord Zhang, but this time Lord Liu did not stand there.
He went in the opposite direction, and the direction that Lord Liu walked was the stubborn crowd in the past, the group of people who have always maintained a clean heart.
In the past, Lord Liu would not have wanted to stand with their group of cowardly people, but today he stood with them.
All the officials stood in the county office, no one spoke, no one spoke, on the one hand, because they were searched by Lord Liu and found evidence of corruption, they didn't know what Zhou Yang would do with them, and they only had worries in their hearts.
However, there are still people who cast hateful and resentful eyes at Lord Liu.
Embezzlement is a felony, which is why these officials were so impulsive at that time, but at that time, Mr. Zhang's face was calm, neither stopping nor excited, as if in his eyes all this was not so indifferent.
If Lord Zhang can have no fear, it must be more Zhou Yang has a connection, which also causes the identity of the prince to be a spy in the eyes of Lord Liu.
On the other hand, in the past, there was nothing to say, and today there is nothing to say, and it is decent.
It didn't take long for people to realize that someone had come in from the outside.
As the man walked slowly, he found that it was Zhao Wuyang wearing a treasure sword, and in front of Zhao Wuyang was Zhou Yang with an expressionless face.
Under the face of these officials, Zhou Yang came to the position of the high platform, but he did not sit down, but took the account book of Zhao Wuyang.
Zhou Yang glanced at the civil and military ministers in the county government, and those ministers all bowed their heads.
Suddenly, Zhou Yang shouted loudly: "Zhang Ming, you list the palace!" ”
Zhou Yang's face was slightly gloomy, as deep as his words at this time, which made the entire county government suppress.
Lord Zhang lowered his head, slowly walked to the middle of the ministers on both sides, bowed his head and asked, "Lord Zhenshou, I don't know what to order?" ”
"Humph!" Zhou Yang laughed, obviously laughed angrily.
"What do you think I'm letting you out for?"
Bang Tower.
After that, Zhou Yang directly threw out the account book in his hand, and came to Master Zhang not far away.
"Come, read to me the ointment of the people recorded in the ledger!"
At this time, within the county office, some people were worried, and some people had no waves, but all of them showed the depression in them.
Lord Liu looked at all this coldly, and looked at what Lord Zhang did next.
Mr. Zhang picked up the account book with difficulty, and the first page opened was Mr. Liu's embezzled account......
Liu Guoan ...... Treasure and Jade Fifty-Seven ...... A total of two million ......,200,000 silver"
"Wang ...... 200,000 ......"
……
Zhang Ming...... The total amount was two million and nine hundred thousand taels of silver. ”
Speaking of this, Master Zhang shook his head again and again in his heart, both helpless and powerless.
The ministers below did not have the mentality of Lord Zhang, their bodies trembled again and again, quietly waiting for Zhou Yang's breakoff.
Syllable!
Zhou Yang didn't say a word, he directly slammed the table, and pulled out the treasure knife on Zhao Wuyang's body on the side.
It was this time that directly frightened many officials to kneel down again and again.
The entire county government was filled with the sound of snapping towers and kneeling on the ground.
Everyone was terrified, all feared by the majesty of the town guard.
Zhou Yang wrapped the treasure knife around his chest, walked slowly step by step, and looked at Master Zhang playfully.
"If you count the treasures, how much have you been greedy since you came to this time? Do you feel like your life is worth so much money? Zhou Yang walked and said with a smile.
Master Zhang lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, he didn't dare to raise his head, he didn't dare to look directly at Zhou Yang's majesty.
Zhou Yang saw that he didn't speak, so he looked at another person, the official was actually standing, he stood among the kneeling officials, like a needle of the sea god.
The minister on the other side was also standing, it was a group of poor officials, and among the poor officials, there were also ministers who knelt abruptly, and that person was not anyone, it was the 'prosecutor' Lord Liu this time.
Zhou Yang looked at the official who was holding the pestle, and the official had a resolute look in his eyes, standing quietly.
Zhou Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at him, it was a relatively middle- and upper-level official, and the two officials Liu and Zhang above him had already knelt down, and he was still standing.
"What do you mean, my lord?" Zhou Yang asked puzzled, he didn't expect this official to be able to stand here without fear, and behind him was Zhao Huan? Or the King of Qin, or the Wu Dynasty of Zhou?
"Hmph, Guard, what do you want to do as a hairy boy? Are you the one you can change everything? It's really higher than the sky! ”
"How dare you seize me? Am I your elder? ”
At this time, all the ministers gasped, this lord was afraid that he was not crazy, and dared to talk to the prince like this.
Lord Liu and Lord Zhang all raised their eyes, unable to believe that this scene had happened, and they were all shocked.
Zhou Yang frowned: "Elders? Are you talking about age? ”
"Humph!" The corners of the official's mouth raised, and he leaned on the old man and said, "That's right, you are a stinky kid, and you are not qualified to ......"
Before he finished speaking proudly, Zhou Yang laughed out loud.
"Hahaha." Zhou Yang didn't expect that someone would rely on the old and sell the old here, although it is said that the elder is respected and the younger is young, but that is the idea of Confucianism.
But in Zhou Yang, it is useless to be liberated by modern civilization, Zhou Yang turned around and asked:
"Lord Zhang! How much has this person embezzled? ”
Lord Zhang knelt on the ground and said worriedly: "Returning to Lord Zhenshou, this person embezzled 2.9 million silver and 90 treasures. ”
Hearing this, the corners of Zhou Yang's mouth twitched, this old man is still so greedy.
A dying man, why bother?
Zhou Yang walked quickly, and then directly pulled the adult out.
"Then I'll show you how I respect my elders!"
The old man official was directly pulled to his knees by Zhou Yang, his hands on the ground, and there was finally horror in his eyes, and he hurriedly shouted: "I'm an elder, what are you doing to me?" ”
"What you have done is hurting the heavens and the peace!"
