Chapter 433: Peeling and Stuffing the Three Clans into Exile(1/2)
Chapter 433: Skinning and filling the grass, three tribes were exiled
On the helicopter, Chongzhen received the latest news with a satellite phone in his hand. The information that Wang Lei replied to him was found.
We are currently controlling the personnel and are looking for the leader with a polygraph. The polygraph interrogation proves that it was indeed the county magistrate who was on lookout last night.
Chongzhen nodded. Now that the cotton and the person who stole the cotton have been found, and it is confirmed that the county magistrate did it, it means that this matter can be concluded.
It's just that his face still looks a little ugly. He has just been out of the warehouse for a day, and these supplies were actually replaced on the way. What about other prefectures?
This disaster relief effort covers sixty warehouses and hundreds of counties. If you are brave enough, even 10% of them are in dozens of counties. Even if Sun Chuanting and the others warned them, it would have no effect at all.
"Your Majesty, General Sun, you can get off the plane now. The battalion commander here is Li En, and the battalion staff officer is Zhao Jiang. They are all the backbone of the Royal Army in the early stage."
"Well, Wang Banban, please continue to keep in touch with Captain Wang Lei.
Boya, let's go and have a good chat with them."
After Chongzhen nodded, he jumped directly from the platform of the helicopter. Sun Chuanting had been exercising during this period and his physique could keep up, so he also jumped directly.
Outside the helicopter, soldiers of the Royal Army were lined up neatly, holding their guns to the sky and looking directly at Chongzhen who jumped out of the helicopter.
"I will deal with you later when I get the detailed evidence and wait for you."
The chief registrar said hello, and the officials around the county magistrate ran away as if they had been driven out by ghosts. The county magistrate, who was left feeling the sting of Qingfeng on his neck, did not dare to move.
Three generations of his family members are not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations or join the Royal Army. Those who are already members of the Royal Army or officials will be transferred from their posts for inspection."
"Your Majesty, the county magistrate has been at the top of the city last night. It is indeed a bit crowded because Yingzhou supplies have been placed in the city."
"Oh, your Majesty is your Majesty, and we are us. If we don't dare to do evil to His Majesty, we don't dare to do anything to us..."
"yes!"
"Your Majesty! I was wronged! I only received a deposit of three hundred taels. My crime is not worthy of death! My crime is not worthy of death!"
"Ah? Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. I was just afraid that people from the countryside would bump into Your Majesty. I had absolutely no such intention. Your Majesty, I had absolutely no such intention!"
"Old man, why are you all wearing so thin clothes?
I used money in exchange for food, but it is quite expensive. If you don’t buy it, you can’t do it. If you don’t buy it, you won’t let me... Hey, why are you dragging me along?"
brush!
"My warriors, you have worked hard to protect your home and country!"
"Back to Your Majesty, according to the special order for disaster relief, more than 3,000 taels of relief materials were embezzled, skinned and stuffed, and homes were ransacked and jailed.
If these cotton-padded clothes and quilts with grass leaves replaced are distributed to your village, I can’t even imagine the difference between you who have received disaster relief this winter and those who have not! How many people will not be able to make it through.”
Chongzhen listened to the chatter and raised his hand to signal for silence.
Chongzhen had a conversation with Wang Lei, walked to Sun Chuanting, and led Sun Chuanting to He Ergou.
"Your Majesty, after inspection, a total of 6,121 cotton-padded clothes and 2,200 quilts were damaged and replaced.
"See Your Majesty!"
In order to prevent exposure, Magistrate Hu Wulai ordered the gangsters to murder all of my people..."
"According to the confession, your Shuozhou County Magistrate, Hu Nuolai, is only one of the principal participants in this cotton exchange.
Hu Youlai's face turned pale at this moment. Did he really not expect that Chongzhen would not listen to any of his sophistry, so he would be directly convicted?
"Did the county magistrate stay with you all last night? Did he ever leave? Is there any open space in Huairen Post City where we can put down supplies?"
Several urgent voices were heard, and the detained county magistrate's face turned terribly pale, with no trace of blood left in his face.
"Yes! Your Majesty, kill this corrupt official!"
After calming the excited people and waiting for the audience to fall silent, Chongzhen began to speak.
Without saying a word, Sun Chuanting quickly took off his cotton-padded clothes and took over the green military coat filled with grass leaves.
"What??"
It’s worth about six thousand taels. As for Hu County Cheng, he said he slept all night and the Jin family’s request is reasonable.”
"Your Majesty, please don't say that. It's this dog official who wants to be corrupt. You were just deceived by him!"
The civilian who was following the battalion commander listened to Chongzhen's words and walked nervously past the battalion commander. His body was shaking and he could not speak clearly.
"Dear citizens! An hour ago, I received an urgent report that a corruption report had occurred here in Datong.
And where is He Ergou? Keep He Ergou away from me, and don’t get mad and talk nonsense again.”
"What does it mean to be bold and lazy, and to drive away the people?
To prevent His Majesty from contacting his people? Do you want to alienate Your Majesty from his people?"
Didn’t I ask the counties to distribute clothes first to your teams hauling supplies? Didn’t I distribute them??”
"Is that someone who can fly?"
"And it allows us to eat three meals a day. This is such a benevolent and holy king!"
"Ah! I knew it, I knew it!"
"Your Majesty, Hu Wu Lai, the Prime Minister of Shuozhou County, brings Wu Juren, the literary representative of Shuozhou, the chief registrar of Shuozhou, etc. to see your Majesty."
At the same time, supervise them to start pulling goods in person, immediately check the stolen materials, and examine the Shuozhou County Magistrate."
After Chongzhen and Sun Chuanting took it, they pinched the feeling on it and gave it to Sun Chuanting with a mocking look on their faces, asking Sun Chuanting to take off the cotton-padded clothes on his body.
Not far away, He Ergou relied on his height. Although he was being pulled by several county officials, he still looked at the situation here, and the excitement and emotion in his heart doubled.
While the team was marching, the Royal Army had already inventoried the losses, and the staff officer came over with a notebook to report.
"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty treats us as human beings, and is worried that we won't be able to survive the winter. It's already a great gift for us to come to collect cotton-padded clothes from our fellow villagers. It's not hard work!!"
"Don't be nervous, I will do it. I will never let any good person be bullied, nor will I let any bad person escape."
After the battalion commander saluted, he quickly began to give orders. Chongzhen turned around and took Sun Chuanting, interacted with the people, and then took the county magistrate's original carriage and went all the way to wait for the result. After all, time waited for no one, and he had already been delayed for an hour.
"Get out of my way! How can you be worthy of the Holy Driver if you collide with him?
Disperse them quickly, and don't let anyone rush and anger Your Majesty, otherwise we will all die!
I want to personally redress my grievances to His Majesty, someone has framed the imperial official!"
"Salary? We paid it, but we also had to pay for a day's meals, so we all agreed to the county magistrate's request.
"God? Kneel down quickly! God is coming."
"My fellow citizens! Don't panic! These are the big iron men you saw in Huairen. They are also the defensive force of the Ming Dynasty."
"Bo Ya, before you thought I shouldn't be too harsh on corrupt officials. Come on, put on this cotton coat and try it. Are such officials worthy of being the parents of the people? Are they worthy of the oath they swore to me?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the county has given us clothes."
Suddenly, the old man was so frightened that he knelt down. Wang Chengen, who was beside Chongzhen, quickly grabbed him and persuaded him for a long time before the old man accepted Chongzhen's kindness, which also made the onlookers feel warmer in their hearts.
Then, he walked straight towards the crowd of common people who were blocked by the Royal Army, who were watching the excitement and eager to see the emperor. Suddenly, the Royal Army took the initiative to make way.
"Well, Battalion Commander Li and Staff Officer Zhao, we haven't seen each other for a long time, but you are still so energetic. Have you been studying cultural classes seriously recently?"
"Be loyal to Your Majesty! Serve the Ming Dynasty! Serve the people of the world!"
"No!"
"Dear citizens! The matter of cotton being exchanged this time has been decided.
"Is it because you don't understand what I say? Or are you Shuozhou officials not listening to me? You, the chief secretary of Shuozhou, don't listen either?"
The county magistrate had already pushed away the people and stood directly in the direction where Chongzhen was coming from. Chongzhen looked at his behavior and his face became even more ugly.
"I ordered the county to give you five yuan a day as wages?"
Regardless of the distance of thousands of miles, I came directly from the palace because I wanted to see what the situation was like. Just one day after the disaster relief materials were pulled out of the warehouse, someone actually took action?
"Huh, I've almost checked your account, I'll deal with you later.
"Brother! How do you want me to explain to my mother?"
Chongzhen's eyes immediately turned to the county magistrate. For this disaster relief, the people's wages and food were paid for by the Ministry of Household Affairs. The military coupons were also prepared in advance by the royal merchants of each government. But now they actually say that the wages bought food?
It’s just six thousand taels, tsk, Boya, as we said before, how can we be convicted of six thousand taels?”
"Change it after half an hour."
"I and others will seriously study the subjects set by His Majesty on their own, and strive to become the army soldiers that Your Majesty needs most."
He Ergou didn't dare to lead the two scary people with him, so he ran like crazy to the material parking area and brought over the cotton-padded clothes and quilts.
"I accept the decree."
Chongzhen shouted sharply, and all the surrounding soldiers immediately stood at attention.
"The brother of Cao Min saw something was wrong last night, and he will definitely be killed now!"
"Yes! I understand."
"I dare not call you Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty. The one who was given clothes is the little old man who is reluctant to wear them, so he still wears old clothes."
"Your Majesty, that is a troublesome person. I want to redress my grievances! He framed me. Hey, Your Majesty, you..."
