Chapter 1717 Two methods(1/2)
"Already here!"
Their hearts were beating fast and their faces were as pale as paper.
at the same time.
Tiance Mansion.
Changyuan Bo Han Xiaoguang, Dingcheng Bo Liangqiu and other three people came to find Fei Shen, the general of the auxiliary state.
After the war with Liang Guo ended, Fei Shen did not go to the front line again, but stayed in Tiance Mansion.
Looking at the three people kneeling in front of him, he sighed.
"Why are you so confused?"
"General, help me!"
Han Xiaoguang said sadly: "You are the only one who can protect us at this time. Please go and beg His Majesty for mercy. We know we were wrong."
"Please help me, General. For the sake of our bloody battles with you."
The three of them begged for mercy and kept kowtowing.
These three people were all from the Zhenbei Army. After the establishment of the new dynasty, they were awarded the title of earl for their outstanding achievements and became new rich.
Guan Ning's prediction was correct.
Behind the black coal kiln is a huge community of interests.
Led by the Yang family, major families in the north and many upstarts participated.
These people all have one thing in common: they all belong to the northern lineage and are direct descendants of the emperor.
It is precisely because of this that so many people know it but dare not speak out.
"When the conferment ceremony was held at Tiance Mansion, His Majesty once said that he did not reject nobles, only those corrupt nobles who only exploited the people, amassed money wantonly, and were greedy for pleasure!"
Feishen asked in a deep voice: "Have you forgotten?"
Several people lowered their heads in shame.
"His Majesty also said that he hopes to maintain his original intention and not turn himself into the person he once hated most. If that day comes, don't blame His Majesty for not remembering the old relationship. You will only realize regret when the knife falls on your neck. Then it will be too late!"
"Have you forgotten all these words?"
"We...know we were wrong."
"But it's too late."
Feishen said in a low voice: "Go and surrender, explain your problems clearly, and maybe there will be a chance to deal with them..."
Several people were silent for a long time and stood up and walked out.
Feishen let out a long sigh again.
A change of identity and a life of arrogance and extravagance will change one's mind and paralyze one's original intention.
Some people can persevere.
Some people are addicted to it.
Your Majesty is going to rectify this trend.
This night is destined to be uneventful.
While the arrests were being started in Beijing, they were being carried out in many other places at the same time.
The case was not complicated, and when it was actually revealed, it was quite simple.
It just depends on who is involved.
This is the focus of investigation.
Some people are happy and some are worried, and the people in the capital have something to discuss again.
It really is one wave after another.
It feels really good to eat melon every day.
They are all looking forward to seeing whether this matter will be published in the next issue of the newspaper.
The emergence of newspapers has enabled them to learn a lot of new vocabulary.
The biggest discussion is of course how His Majesty will deal with it. Will he lift it up high and put it down gently, or will he cut it to the bottom and eliminate relatives for justice?
Time passed very quickly, and three days flew by.
A detailed summary was also placed on Guan Ning's Long Case.
The truth was even crueler than what he saw.
It's a bit light to say that people's lives are ignored.
Dongshan's mountain guards and all officials in Qinghe County were bribed. Guan Ning noticed that the number of people who died in mining accidents in the past few years has almost caught up with the death toll in a medium-sized war.
As a result, several villages in Qinghe County have become widow villages.
Shizhen Village is just a microcosm.
Guan Ning focuses on the participants behind the scenes.
He did not expect the breadth of people involved.
These people are all familiar to him.
Because of this, they are so unscrupulous.
How many years has it been since the founding of the new dynasty?
So many people have forgotten their original intention.
Guan Ning was very lucky because this incident gave him an opportunity to rectify his situation.
Only severe punishment can wake people up.
Guan Ning wrote and wrote.
After a while, he said: "The few people I trapped were exiled to Weizhou and worked and reformed for ten years. The masterminds were all killed, and the rest were sentenced according to Yuanwu Law!"
Hua Xinghe and others picked up the folder and looked at it carefully.
After a while, the minister of Dali Temple asked: "Yang Taigong, Yang Yanshen, Yang Yanguang...are they going to kill them too?"
"cut!"
Guan Ning's blunt words made everyone stunned.
Others are easy to talk about.
These people are all relatives of His Majesty. It seems that they are really going to exterminate their relatives out of justice.
"The sound of the drum still needs a heavy hammer!"
Guan Ning said: "Yang Taigong is the mastermind. Yang Yanshen, Yang Yanguang and others are responsible for the specific operations of the mine. There are so many lives, and not killing them is not enough to anger the people."
"If I treat them differently, how can I convince the public? Where is the prestige of the court?"
Several people nodded.
They all know His Majesty's determination.
Yes.
If you don't do this, others will definitely be dissatisfied.
And now that Your Majesty has even killed his relatives, what grievances do you people have?
"Publish this case summary and handling results in the next issue of the official newspaper."
"Your Majesty? Doesn't this have a bad influence?"
Fei Tian said: "After all, the truth is too..."
"Too dark?"
Guan Ning said in a deep voice: "It is precisely because of the blackness that I want the people to know that I don't have sand in my eyes. No matter who it is, as long as they violate the law, they will be treated equally and will not be tolerated!"
"It can also serve as a warning to other officials."
"yes."
Guan Ning continued: "In this incident, Fei Tian and Pang Qingyun, you two have seriously neglected their duties and will be fined half a year."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
The two responded.
Qinghe County is under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture, so Fei Tian, as the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, naturally derelict in his duties.
There are also many nobles involved in the military, and this is Pang Qingyun's problem.
"And you..."
Guan Ning looked at Gong Liangyu.
To be continued...
