Chapter 210: There Are No Ifs in Life
In the evening, Jiang Yuqing discussed the Wang Erzhu case with Jing Yan again.
Speaking of the laws of Great Xia, the provisions on supporting the elderly should be revised in more detail, and an article can be added: those who are born but do not raise, or those who are born and sold, do not need to be supported by their children.
Otherwise, it will be a great harm to these children who have been abandoned by their parents, and it will also be extremely unfair. Old hooligans such as Wang Renyi and others will no longer have any fear.
Let's say that Guan Yiwei, the prefect of Lizhou, was brought by Canghai, and when he got off the black veil and couldn't move on the ground, the whole person was stunned.
After reacting, he opened his mouth to scold, but was suffocated by the gold medal in front of him. Suddenly, my whole body softened.
Canghai acted vigorously and resolutely, and found dozens of account books and hundreds of letters in the dark pavilion of Guan Yiwei's study.
In the dark room of the wardrobe in his bedroom, a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and famous calligraphy and paintings were found.
The account books and letters are clearly recorded, in addition to controlling Fang Duo with Fang Si, he has colluded with the lower officials in recent years, fabricated and set up various names, and privately intercepted as much as 320,000 quintals of tax grain.
All of the grain that was intercepted was sold abroad through secret channels through black market brokers.
Some of them were even sold to the Wa Kingdom and Ligu. According to the time at that time, during those two periods, Great Xia was using troops against these two places, and this kind of behavior was simply treason.
Three days later, Jing Yan rushed to the Lizhou Mansion to interrogate Guan Yiwei in person and asked him why he did this. Guan Yiwei knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.
According to his confession, he was born in a small family in the south and was the concubine of the family.
When I was a child, I begged for a living in the hands of my housemother, and because of my lack of money, when I went out to make friends, I was ridiculed by my friends. As a result, he had the idea of earning more money in the future.
He studied well, and later was admitted to the Jinshi and released as an official. Because the political achievements are not outstanding, it has been used for many years to achieve Tongzhi from the county order, and then he has been in the position of Tongzhi for many years.
There is no hope for promotion. He gritted his teeth and wrote a letter home to raise a sum of money, and put it on the top. The following year, he was promoted and transferred to Lizhou as the prefect.
At that time, Liju had not yet belonged to the territory of Great Xia, and Lizhou was one of the border cities. However, because it is located in the alluvial plain of the Huaijiang River, the land is fertile and rich in rice, and it is also a quite rich place.
When he saw so much food, he had a crooked thought in his heart. I thought to myself, at least I had to get some money back. So I thought of a way and privately withheld 1,000 quintals of tax grain to test the water.
After a period of time, seeing that no one found out, his courage gradually grew, from 1,000 to 10,000 at the beginning, and then to tens of thousands of tons later.
The catch is full of money.
However, at the end of the three-year term, Guan Yiwei, who had tasted the sweetness, was willing to go, so he took out a large sum of silver to make a difference. And because this is a border city, there are not many people who are willing to come, so he stayed smoothly.
This time, he has intensified his efforts. not only colluded with the lower officials, but even directly took down the daughters of the officials to coerce them into complicit. Because it is ruthless enough, the benefits will be more.
As the so-called success is also Xiao He defeats Xiao He, he never dreamed that the first person to stab the knife at him was Fang Duo, the "in-law" who he felt would never go wrong.
Corruption, bribery, coercion, coercion and coercion of subordinate officials, forcibly occupying official women, collaborating with the enemy and treason, and punishing several crimes together. Guan Yiwei was finally sentenced by Jing Yan to be decided, raided his home, and wiped out the three clans.
In the end, he paid a heavy price for his infinitely inflated selfish desires.
Before he died, Guan Yiwei looked at the family members kneeling in a row with him next to him, and the big knife raised by the executioner, and finally shed tears of remorse.
If I hadn't been so greedy at the beginning, if I had kept my duty at the beginning, would there have been no disasters of extermination today?
It's a pity that there are no ifs in life.
Guan Yiwei's family was guilty, and Fang Si, the daughter of the Fang family, came for the housekeeper to bully and did not belong to the three clans, so she was allowed to return home. The housekeeper's own family was implicated by him, and he was also exiled for 3,000 miles.
Among the officials involved in the case, including the high-ranking official in the capital who opened the door to Guan Yiwei after receiving the money, according to the severity of the crime, those who were killed were killed, their homes were raided, and those who were exiled were exiled.
Gaizhou County ordered Fang Duo to be beheaded according to his crime. But Jing Yan considered that his crime was not profitable, and he was forced to be helpless.
And when Tianjia arrived, he took the initiative to turn himself in and fully assisted in the investigation of this case, so he was extraordinarily gracious and spared his life, and only sentenced him to exile to Suzhou Gobi for three years.
On the day of Fang Duo's exile, her daughter Fang Si also carried a burden and stood outside the government prison and waited quietly.
She was dressed in a coarse cloth dress, and there was no ornament on her head, but there was a calm after finally liberation on her emaciated face.
When he saw his father with white hair and a prison uniform being brought out, Fang Si finally couldn't help but burst into tears, and the father and daughter hugged each other, crying silently.
After they calmed down, Nameless handed a small cloth bag to Fang Duo: "Your Majesty has specially granted you no need to wear a flail.
There were some silver coins and a letter from the Queen Mother. After arriving in Suzhou, if you encounter difficulties, you can take this letter to the He'an Hospital in Fucheng or the warm wool workshop for help.
Those are the private property of the mother, and they can help you appropriately.
The father and daughter are very grateful. Nameless stuffed a small ingots into the hands of the two officers in charge of escorting, and patted them on the shoulder: "The mountain is high and the road is far away, the two brothers take care of it more!" ”
The messenger was flattered and said, "Definitely, definitely." "Even the queen mother specially confessed to the people she wanted to take care of, how dare they bully them.
Besides, the experience of the father and daughter is quite sympathetic. A good official, a good official lady, was harmed like this by a corrupt official, it is really pitiful.
Lizhou officialdom earthquake, a large number of officials were investigated. At once, the positions of several county chiefs were vacated, and the officials at the prefectural level were completely wiped out.
In this case, Jing Yan naturally couldn't let it go, and his party had to stay in Lizhou for a while, waiting for the new chief official to come and take over, and then it was not too late to leave.
This incident caused a great shock in Lizhou.
The people didn't know the specific situation, but they only knew that there was a big official from above, and this big official cut down the prefect and many corrupt officials.
The people hate corrupt officials the most, and naturally they are very happy and applaud loudly.
Only some of the gentry and magnates who are usually associated with Guan Yiwei and others, are at their own risk, and they all shrink into the house as quails, and they don't even go out.
For this kind of small floating insect that is not even a hairy shrimp, Jing Yan didn't even bother to look at it.
On a July day, it's so hot that the dogs are looking for ditches everywhere. Therefore, people basically stay at home during the day, except for necessary outings.
In the backyard of the Lizhou Mansion, there are several tall apricot trees. At this time, the fruit is long out of season, and only one tree is green. In the green shade, a few people know the joy of "know yo know yo".
Doctor Qiu spread a large bamboo mat on the masonry ground under the apricot tree, put Jing Yi on the mat, and watched him play happily.
The little guy is eight months old, white and tender, with fat arms and legs like lotus roots. At this time, he was wearing a big red belly pocket, just like a little golden boy in front of the Guanyin seat.
The upper and lower front teeth have also grown together, and when you tease, you will laugh, and you will drool when you laugh, which can simply sprout people's hearts.
The vast sea is endless, and several people love him very much.
When it's okay, I like to let him ride around my neck and fly around with him. Jiang Yuqing hung a top-level defensive peace charm around his son's neck, so he didn't worry about his safety and went to play with them.
At this time, two of them on the mat were clipped, and cotton threads were tied to their feet, and they were stunned everywhere to know that they were toys that a few people had grabbed for the little one.
Watching them flutter away, crawling over and grabbing them back, slapping them a few times, raising their heads and giggling at Doctor Qiu, that means, look at the baby caught them, how awesome.
If Doctor Qiu complimented him a few words, he would be even more energetic and have fun.
Fortunately, he clearly remembered that the adults had said that this thing was not to be eaten, so they would play with it and would not put it in their mouths.
Doctor Qiu liked this little apprentice very much, but he didn't dare to hug him. For no other reason, the little fellow was very interested in his precious goatee, and every time he came to him, he always took the opportunity to pull off a few.
After a lot of times, the beard that was not much thick was pulled off more than half, and now there are no hairs left on the chin, and the wind looks particularly cool.
Beard is a matter of men's dignity, and Doctor Qiu resolutely defends it. He's a good big man, isn't he the same as an old eunuch if he has no beard? Therefore, we must not let such a terrible thing happen.
The little one played for a while, and when he got tired of playing, he began to yawn. Doctor Qiu carefully put a small chaff pillow on the back of the child's head, and then put a light little quilt on his little belly, patted him gently, and fell asleep after a while.
Doctor Qiu looked at the sleeping child, smiling with great kindness, his heart was full of pride, and he saw how well-behaved and cute his little apprentice grandson was.
In order to let his son sleep more peacefully, Jiang Yuqing added a soundproof cover to him. In this way, even if it is noisy outside, there is no need to worry about waking him up.
Before long, a few of them came back from the outside, sweating profusely. Seeing this, Jiang Yuqing personally went to the kitchen to cut a large plate of chilled watermelon and came over to greet everyone: "Come and eat a piece of watermelon!" ”
Everyone thanked them, picked up the watermelon and nibbled on it. The food was refreshing, and a servant came to report, saying that there was a girl from outside the gate of the government to find Lord Canghai.
For a while, everyone set their eyes on the sea, with a full of banter in their eyes.
Canghai was furious by everyone, swallowed the watermelon in his mouth hard, wiped his mouth and said, "What, Your Majesty, Niangniang, I'll go out and have a look." ”
As he spoke, he ran away.
However, after a while, the official came in again and said that the girl and Master Canghai were tearing up outside the door, attracting a lot of people to watch the excitement.
The officials were afraid that something would happen, so they hurried in and called for someone.
Jiang Yuqing put down the watermelon, wiped his mouth and said, you continue to eat, I'll go out and have a look. Despite this, Wuya followed her to the gate of the mansion.
At this time, there was already a large circle of people outside the government, and in the summer, they were not afraid of heat stroke when they watched the gossip against the sun.
At this time, Canghai was looking at the woman who was kneeling on the ground crying with a headache, and he was a little at a loss.
He used to be a secret guard, so he was not good at dealing with women, and the most he has come into contact with in recent times is the queen. Niangniang is a very good-tempered person, and it always makes people feel very comfortable getting along with her.
The first time I encountered this, I shed tears when I didn't agree with each other, and I didn't know what to do if I couldn't cut it.
At this time, seeing Jiang Yuqing appear at the door, it was like seeing a savior, and suddenly there was light in his eyes.
