The officials arranged a room for Sun Yanfa, and Yang Anyouqu followed him in. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sun Yanfa said: "We are also just here, and in the past few years, the imperial court has levied grain every year to prepare for war. The disaster was urgent, and the ministers died in court, and the emperor agreed to use military rations for disaster relief. But I knew that there must be officials who profited from this, so I asked everyone in the Imperial History Mansion to go to the four roads to inspect, and I came here myself. Who knew they were even more hateful than I thought!"
"Sun-sama came all the way on horseback and fell a few times!" Sakura said.
"The adults have worked hard all the way, which really makes the juniors ashamed!"
"No way, who asked me to be this official! I didn't expect to meet you here! By the way, who is this?" Sun Yanfa pointed at Lai Buqi.
"Let me introduce, this is the leader of the beggar gang Lai Buqi, and this is Lord Yan Fasun of the imperial history of this dynasty!"
Lai Buqi said: "Originally, we wanted to eat the most hated officials, and we never dealt with them, but looking at the few moments you just had, Lai really admired it, but unfortunately there was no wine, otherwise I would really have a few drinks with you!"
"It's easy to say, after this time, you can come to my house and drink as much as you want. By the way, on the way here, I saw a lot of disciples of your gang giving porridge and rice to help the people, and I was still puzzled, but now I understand everything!"
"Not only our beggar disciples, but almost everyone in Songshan has been dispatched, and we can only stand on the world by acting chivalrous and righteous, how can we sit idly by and ignore such a big thing?"
Sakura said: "I'm funny, this was originally called Hanako to ask for food, but now it's a charity, this is estimated, there is no one before or after!"
Youqu also said: "I haven't found out yet, it's really like that when you say that!"
"That's fine, what if we become beggars who have never been seen before or since!" Lai Buqi laughed when he finished speaking, and everyone laughed too.
Sun Yanfa suddenly asked seriously: "How does Yang Shaoxia think this matter should be handled?"
"It's hard to say the facts in officialdom, but since the adults asked, I'll give my opinion. Since ancient times, the most hateful thing is corrupt officials, those who are greedy for the people, and only one or a few people's interests are harmed, and those who are greedy for officials are harming the interests of thousands of people. Originally, I thought that anyone who took every penny should be killed, but now the situation is special, and I can't kill all of them. If you kill too little, you won't be able to serve as a warning, and if you kill too much, you won't be able to carry out disaster relief matters! I suggest killing half of them and keeping half of them!"
"To tell the truth, I hate corrupt officials more than anyone else, since I became the imperial history, more than 300 people have died under my investigation, but there are still more and more corrupt officials. I'm wondering if there's a better way!" Sun Yanfa looked helpless.
Lai Buqi said: "There is no other way, there are more and more corrupt officials, and that is because you have not killed enough and not thoroughly." Yang Shaoxia said that he had a reason to kill half of them, if it were me, there would be no one left!"
"How can things in the world be so simple as the knife falling in hand, since Yang Shaoxia said that he killed half of the people, how can he be sure of this half of the people?" asked Sun Yanfa.
"There are stupid ways, there are smart ways!"
"What's a stupid way, what's a smart way?"
"The stupid way is to arrest them all and verify the crimes one by one, so that it can be done in ten days and half a month!"
"How can the people wait so long, talk about smart methods!"
"The clever way is a bit vicious, these people follow the prefect, and they have been more or less corrupt before, in the name of raising disaster relief funds, let each of them donate. Kill the half who donates the most. That can be done as soon as tonight. ”
"Isn't that wrong?" asked Yuqu.
"Those who can donate money will not be a small amount, and then compare their income, you will find that you can't go wrong!"
"Well, just use this method, without further ado!"
Sun Yanfa came out with everyone, and all the officials came to pay their respects. Sun Yanfa said: "Everyone get up, sit down, it's okay! You also know that my imperial history is to find fault with others, and many people hold grudges." But they don't know, and I don't want to find fault with people all day long, I eat this bowl of rice, no way. I know everything here, all the fault lies with the prefect, and since he is dead, I don't want to pursue it. I just hope you can all cooperate with me in disaster relief!"
"Thank you, Lord Yushi, the lower officials and others will fully cooperate!"
"Okay, then I will have something to say, just now I checked the accounts, totaled, the military rations in the warehouse are still insufficient for disaster relief. Why don't all the adults present give generously to help the people? There's no limit to how much you want, anyway, everyone will do their best!"
After Sun Yanfa finished speaking, he whispered below, discussing whether to give it or not, and how much to give.
"I can't imagine that this Lord Yushi is darker than Lord Prefect!"
"Yes, in the past, the prefect ate meat, and we can also drink some soup, which is good, not to mention eating alone, but also looting on us. ”
"Oh, you guys are content, it's better to ask for money than to die, if you meet someone who handles it impartially, you and I can't save my life!"
"That's right!"
"How can there be no one in this world who is not greedy!"
Only Master Wen didn't speak, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Forget it, spend money to save your life!" said one of the adults in a low voice, and then shouted loudly, "I'll pay a thousand taels!"
Other officials also shouted, some out of the previous two thousand, some out of four thousand five thousand. Sun Yanfa ordered people to write them down one by one, and after they were all registered, Sun Yanfa smiled slightly, and said: "Lord Wen, all the adults are out of a few thousand taels, and the few are a few hundred taels, why do you give one or two, do you look down on this official!"
The officials below all laughed, and some said, "Just one or two, I sent more than one or two people to ask for food." ”
"The lower official didn't look down on Lord Yushi, but the lord just said that there is no limit to how much you can do. Xia Guan measured his wallet, and he could only give out one or two!"
The crowd burst into laughter again, as if they were waiting for him to be severely punished.
Sun Yanfa said with a smile: "Okay, it's just right, the prefect is dead, you can be the acting prefect here, if you do a good job, I will apply to the ministry and let you keep working!"
"Yes!"
Everyone was shocked, and before they could react, Sun Yanfa said again: "The nine people who read the name stand up!"
The nine people stood up in unison, waiting for the reward, and Sun Yanfa shouted: "Come on, tie up! Ask and behead in an hour! All the officials who catch the fast will go to the streets and alleys to beat gongs and drums, and notify all the people to come to the lobby of the prefect's yamen, saying that they will try a big case!"
"Why do you want to kill us, what crime have we committed, even if we are guilty, we must be tried first, why do you not try and judge?"
"My Sun Yanfa has always only explained to one person, and that is the emperor, but you don't have a chance to see it!"
From time to time, the periphery of the lobby was full of people, watching so many corrupt officials fall to the ground, and the people all applauded. Some people also say that the dead are all small minions, and the really corrupt officials have not come out yet.
