Chapter 520: Disposing of the Governor
Seeing that the new governor was silent, but he looked unwilling, they had no friendship, and the matter of cooperation with the new governor's officials and businessmen was not negotiated, so he still persuaded him: "Lord Governor, the little love can't help, and now, you have to admit it! Who let you meet Master Tao?"
The new governor still didn't say anything, and his feelings of regret, disappointment, and worry were churning in his heart, and at this time it was better to be silent than sound.
"Brother Tao, what should I do now?" He Renzhi naturally asked about the follow-up.
Tao Ziyun replied firmly: "They attacked and supervised the imperial history, and they were already guilty, first put them in prison, and then track down the various official courses that this governor has done since he took office, and then write a note to the emperor to impeach him." If there are any official classes that he has done properly, he will be dealt with lightly, and if there are too many mistakes in the official classes he has handled, he will be dealt with severely. ”
"Okay, let's wait for Brother Tao to deal with this matter, and then we can go back to our hometown. After He Renzhi finished speaking, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Then you guys are busy, this matter has nothing to do with me, I'm leaving, Master Sang is still waiting for my reply in the shop!" After Xie Fujun finished speaking, he turned over and rode on the horse, ready to drive away immediately.
Tao Ziyun hurriedly called Xie Fujun: "Don't leave in a hurry first, the matter here is still related to you." I'll talk to you when I'm putting them in prison. ”
"Then hurry up, I'll wait. Xie Fujun jumped off the horse and waited quietly on the side.
The officers and soldiers who came in with Xie Fujun led their mounts and stood on the periphery in a dilemma, Tao Ziyun shouted to them: "Those officers and soldiers who came to find Xie Fujun just now are the ones who didn't have time to do anything with us, and this time they won't cure your crimes." Go find a rope and help my soldiers tie up these captured men and send them to prison!"
The officers and soldiers took the order and left. Familiarly found the rope, and together with Tao Ziyun's bean soldiers, they tied up the officers and soldiers who had taken the lead against Tao Ziyun, and then escorted them to the prison and locked them up.
Tao Ziyun found that the governor's subordinate political envoys and envoys were not present. It was mid-afternoon, and there was still a lot of work that could be done, so he immediately ordered those officers and soldiers to summon the Jiangxi political envoy and the Jiangxi envoy to the governor's court for discussion.
Under the leadership of the officers and men, the political envoys and the envoys came to the public court.
It was two elderly officials, according to the officers who summoned them. They already knew that the new governor and most of the officers and soldiers had been arrested, and they saw a large number of bean soldiers on both sides of the public court, which were exactly the same as the officers and soldiers at that time, He Renzhi and Xie Fujun stood next to the public case, and the political envoy and the inspection envoy guessed that the person wearing the people's clothes who was sitting in front of the public case was Tao Ziyun, the superintendent of Jiangnan Province, who came to punish them.
"The political envoy Gao Xiao visited Lord Tao. ”
"According to the inspector Yuan Dengmu, meet Master Tao. The two officials kowtowed to Tao Ziyun. Constantly saying things asking for forgiveness for their sins.
Tao Ziyun responded to them coldly: "The governors are all acting on top of the public case, why aren't you there?"
Gao Xiao quickly replied, "Master Tao is aware of it! It was just a common man who came to complain that his cattle had been stolen, and he suspected that a local butcher had stolen them." And there was no certificate, and there were no witnesses or evidence, so the governor sent him away. I saw that everything was all right, and then we took leave and went back to the house. ”
"You said it was all right. What is that governor still sitting in front of the public case?" Tao Ziyun felt obviously unreasonable.
Yuan Dengmu, the inspector, saw that the scene froze, so he had to add: "Lord Tao, Lord Governor was still sitting in the public court later. It was for the officers and soldiers to arrange for him to build the governor's mansion. He was not accustomed to living in the governor's yamen, and he was very eager to build a new house, and he arranged all those things carefully to acquire land and buy building materials. ”
Tao Ziyun seized the loophole in their speech and asked closely: "The governor has assigned those officers and soldiers to build a mansion, don't you have a task?
"Lord Tao, to tell you the truth, the governor asked us to leave first, there is a task, he asked us to visit the local rich merchant landlord, and raise gold and silver for his brother to build a mansion. Yuan Dengmu was already extremely embarrassed, and beads of sweat continued to drip down his forehead.
That's it, his work of building a new mansion was suspended. After the governor took office, you can find all the existing official documents in the yamen, and let me see what he has done since he took office?" Tao Ziyun didn't want to prepare for a big construction project in the governor, so he had to check the governor's political achievements.
Gao Xiao and Yuan Dengmu stood up and went to the back room of the public court, wiping the sweat from their faces as they walked.
Xie Fujun saw the opportunity and asked Tao Ziyun what was the matter with him staying here?
Tao Ziyun didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, he calmly said to Xie Fujun: "Prince Jin has admitted that he instructed his subordinates to cooperate with you for personal gain. I'm not going to punish you, it's good for everybody. ”
Xie Fujun asked puzzledly: "They admit it, do we still need to admit it?"
Tao Ziyun replied affirmatively: "Of course it is necessary, their collusion with your officials and businessmen is the cause of Hashma's framing." Because of this, Prince Jin was warned, and he felt that he was in danger, so he found an excuse to frame Hashma. If you admit it, I can redress Hashma's grievances. ”
"Well, as long as we don't hold us accountable, I'll admit it. There were no adverse consequences, on Master Sang's side, I was easy to explain to him and perfunctory. Xie Fujun agreed, and immediately recounted the past.
At Tao Ziyun's suggestion, He Renzhi walked to the table and chair next to him and sat down, recorded the past that Xie Fujun admitted, and then asked Xie Fujun to sign and press his handprint.
"Master Tao, can I go back to our shop here?" Xie Fujun immediately asked to go back.
Tao Ziyun groaned and said: "You left Master Sang to come here, he was waiting for the good news that you and the new governor had agreed on official and business cooperation, and if you go back now, nothing will be accomplished, which will make him feel extremely disappointed." Why don't I wait until I've taken care of this and come with you to meet him, and I can explain a little to him. ”
Xie Fujun thought about it, Tao Ziyun followed him, and he could share his worries, so he agreed: "Listen to Master Tao." ”
From the time Xie Fujun admitted the incident of the year, to now, Gao Xiao and Yuan Dengmu have moved all kinds of official documents, Beijing newspapers, and Di newspapers of the governor's yamen several times, and all of them have been piled up on the official case in front of Tao Ziyun.
Tao Ziyun read them one by one, and only then did he know that the governor's name was Huo Moqi.
Gao Xiao and Yuan Dengmu finished moving the official documents accumulated after Huo Moqi came, and stood aside and waited for Tao Ziyun to check the results.
After a long while, Tao Ziyun asked Gao Xiao and Yuan Dengmu in disbelief: "Why didn't you see the traces of Huo Moqi's handling of the official class?
"I didn't miss the words of Lord Tao. ”
"Those related to the governor have moved here. Lord Tao, please be careful. ”
Gao Xiao and Yuan Dengmu answered in the affirmative. Tao Ziyun expected that they and Huo Moqi were colleagues, and they would inevitably think about Huo Mogui, and would move all the official documents related to Huo Moqi over, and try to have as many objects as possible to show that Huo Moqi had political achievements. Because Huo Moqi's official affairs are also related to them.
After Tao Ziyun read it, he said to everyone sternly: "After my inspection, Huo Moqi has not left any political achievements, and the cases he handled have become headless public cases. Although he has not been here for a long time, this is also intolerable. ”
"Master Tao, what are you going to do?" Gao Xiao asked Tao Ziyun cautiously.
Tao Ziyun said without concealment: "I can tell everyone clearly, and later I will write a memo to the emperor, impeach the mediocre official Huo Moqi, and recommend others to be the new governor." The officers and men who have been locked up will continue to be held in the prison, and when the new governor comes, they will be released and let them be disarmed and returned to the fields! You civilians, military generals, and soldiers who have not been imprisoned should behave for yourselves, work hard to do your part, and wait for the arrival of the new governor.
