These officials were angry, but also frightened, and wanted to escape.
Unfortunately, the entire courtyard, including the roof and walls, was guarded by government officials who would not let them leave.
"My lords, whoever wants to leave should first leave his name, sign and acknowledge what happened today, and don't embarrass the young people. The young people also do official business. If there is no proof in black and white, the adults will turn around and crush the young people to death.
It's as easy as squeezing a bedbug to death. In a word, the kids are here to risk their lives, adults, don't be as knowledgeable as us."
Xu Dianli's words made everyone so angry that their noses turned crooked.
You shameless person, you actually asked us to sign. This word can be signed casually?
They were reluctant, after all, no one wanted to leave any evidence of guilt.
But the people in Shangyuan County refused to let him go.
There are people guarding even the dog caves in the sky and on the earth. I don’t know how they discovered them.
And as time passed by, it was almost midnight.
If we can't get away quickly, we will be delayed until tomorrow.
Once word spreads, it will be even more troublesome.
To his surprise, someone was waiting here earlier than him.
By the way, write about the person I hate the most.
At this time, Jian Yi was under double artillery fire from Zhu Di and Xu Jingchang, and seemed to be overwhelmed.
"Dong Guo, you are just having sex with a prostitute. Isn't that considered unruly? At most, you are not cautious enough."
Jian Yi said helplessly: "Your Majesty, this is the law of the Ming Dynasty. I believe that officials who behave badly may not be punished by death."
With Duke Dingguo behind him, he gained power again.
This Censor He almost fell down. He was so bad that he was charged with another crime!
Don't say anything, just check the box, rewrite your name, and run away in a hurry.
But obviously, taking this route, the day lilies will get cold.
Huang Xiaoru couldn't help but fell into deep thought... If there was really a case of forcing a good girl into prostitution, it would be a serious crime under the Ming Dynasty law, so he would be the first to take advantage of it.
Thinking of this, Huang Xiaoru felt calm.
Yu Shiji was the first to write his name and then left in a hurry.
Especially under the operation of Xu Jingchang, it was almost the Prime Minister's Office of the Ming Dynasty.
"Is this Huang Zhixian? Please come in quickly!"
The courtiers all bowed their heads and said nothing. Xu Jingchang took a step forward with a look of astonishment and sigh on his face.
As soon as he left, a few more people wrote down their names... But among this group of people, there were also some who were very smart. For example, there was a censor. After much thought, they may not know me anyway, so they just wrote down their names casually.
.
Xu Dianli said: "It's true, sir, many foreign women living in the capital have either become concubines and maids of wealthy families, or they have been sold into prostitution and started a business of picking up customers. The low-level workers are in the world of Yingtian.
After all these years, what is unclear? I guarantee you won’t be wrong!”
A seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, even his servants, are on an equal footing with him!
There is no doubt that this face is not given to me, but to Ding Guogong.
Looking at this list, Huang Xiaoru's blood ran cold as he just crawled out of bed.
He only glanced at it and said loudly: "He Yin, the supervisory censor, pretended to be Xu Jingchang, the Duke of Ding, and falsely accused the important officials of the imperial court. It is recorded in the record!"
If he wants to file a lawsuit, he can only go to the General Affairs Department... Of course, he can also report it to the Yingtian Mansion, which will be reported to the Yingtian Mansion.
Xu Jingchang was calm and said with a smile: "It's true, but if you force a good person into prostitution and buy and sell the children of a good family. As a court official, if you don't report the knowledge and instead help the tyrants to commit evil, what kind of crime is that?"
"According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, if an official engages in prostitution, he should be dismissed from his official position, demoted to a commoner, and never be used again."
Jian Yi said: "I have just heard about it. I don't know the specific situation yet. But since you violated the national law, you should be severely punished."
Zhu Di was so angry that he snorted, "I work hard and work hard to govern the country. I never dare to slack off. But the courtiers have repeatedly banned me. I have killed many people because I went to the Qinhuai River. It is still the case now. If I don't do serious things, hug me
If you are looking for pleasure with a girl, you should be killed!"
Xu Jingchang said: "I don't know who the specific ones are, but I heard there are as many as a dozen!"
At this time, Zhu Di also arrived. The emperor inspected the courtiers and said with a smile: "I heard that there was a lot of excitement last night. What happened? Can anyone tell me?"
Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "When Jian Tianguan talks about caution, he means that they should not be discovered, right?"
We don't have any merit, except that our revenge doesn't last overnight.
Jian Yi's face was very ugly. Xu Jingchang always took revenge overnight. The courtiers resisted the task of building houses for the craftsmen, and Xu Jingchang was not satisfied with the final compromise.
"By the way, you just said that there are girls from good families inside. Could it be that you are forcing good girls into prostitution?" Huang Xiaoru asked.
When he arrived, he found that the important officials of the court had already arrived, including Xu Jingchang, who had also arrived in advance. Xie Jin knew the current affairs well and stood behind the crowd.
Snapped!
Zhu Di slammed the table and said angrily: "You bastard, you are shameless, you all deserve to die!"
Huang Xiaoru hurriedly said: "Replying to the envoy, although the imperial court tried its best to settle things down, the people who were displaced by the four years of war and fled to Yingtian numbered more than 100,000. More than 70% of them were men. These people
Some sold themselves into slavery and served wealthy families. Some simply lived in the Qinhuai River. After all, besides girls, good-looking men are also quite popular. There are even..."
"What else?" Xie Jin asked.
That's right, with Huang Xiaoru's status, he can't directly enter the palace.
Zhu Di was obviously dissatisfied, "It's so light, it's an advantage for them!"
He suddenly turned to Jian Yi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and asked: "Jian Shangshu, do you know?"
There is no other way but to leave first and then think of a solution.
The next second, a government official came over. He had been on the street for many years and guided almost all the officials. He was rich in experience and had a photographic memory.
When things happened in the middle of the night, Xu Dianli returned victoriously with many government servants.
Zhu Di asked again: "Who has gone?"
Xie Jin was listening silently here. When he finished speaking, Xie Jin slowly said: "You said that a girl from a good family has a problem of forcing good girls into prostitution. Then let me ask you, are there still many refugees in the capital at this time? Women are like this, but what about men?
?Where have they all gone?”
"Okay, you have done a good job! As parents and officials, we have to make decisions for the people. I am doing my duty, and even if I risk my life, I must uphold justice and redress the grievances of the people. Send my order and prepare the carriage after dawn.
, I’m going to the General Affairs Department!”
I can't afford to offend him, but there is Xu Jingchang!
"How to punish him severely?" Zhu Di asked, not giving Jian Yi any chance to be ambiguous.
Therefore, Huang Xiaoru decided to go to the General Affairs Department first.
After all, this is the place where Xu Jingchang worked, so he shouldn’t be shut out, right?
The sky brightened slightly, and Huang Xiaoru went straight to the Tongzheng Si Yamen with a nervous mood.
"And I cut myself off, waiting to enter the palace to serve His Majesty."
Xu Dianli shouted that he was wronged and said, "Your Majesty, these people have betrayed their gratitude and mingled with many girls in a courtyard. Many of these girls are from good families. The low-level officials make decisions for the people in accordance with the wishes of your Majesty.
Severely punish lawbreakers. This is what you told me. The low-level officials risked their lives to do things according to your wishes. How could it be wrong?"
The man was stunned for a while, thinking that he was being smart. At this moment, the Yamen servant said loudly: "Brothers, come here and take a closer look. Who is this gentleman?"
Xu Dianli couldn't help but roll his eyes. In this Yingtian, if you can afford to mess with him, is he still considered a figure?
"You!" Jian Yi's expression suddenly changed and he snorted: "Ding Guo Gong, your heart-wrenching theory cannot be used as a law of the Ming Dynasty, right?"
You must know that his Shangyuan County government office is almost the lowest government office in the entire Yingtian City, and the General Affairs Department is one of the nine high officials.
After Huang Zhixian was settled, Xie Jin waited for a while before someone from the palace came and asked him to go and see the saint.
Facing such an enthusiastic General Administration Secretary, Huang Xiaoru was flattered.
Jie Jin raised his brows for a moment, then took a long breath and said, "I know, just wait here. Someone will come looking for you soon."
Xu Jingchang did not like hearing this, "Jian Shangshu, you know that I have always respected you. But how important is honor and integrity to a scholar-bureaucrat! Isn't there a saying that it is a small matter to starve to death, but a big deal to lose integrity?
?Isn’t it a crime just to say that women and scholar-bureaucrats have lost their integrity?”
"How dare you offend these people? Are you risking your life?"
Xu Jingchang!
As soon as he finished writing, a government official next to him laughed, "If you were really Duke Dingguo, would you still be afraid of the little people? I'm afraid they would have been beaten out long ago!"
"Your Majesty, I can't believe it. The government affairs are complicated and the affairs of the country are busy. How can they still think about looking for a girl? They are so energetic that they are so enviable. I am so young and have resigned from the post of general affairs envoy. I only have to deal with the royal guards and the general affairs.
I am too busy with the affairs of Zhan Shifu. I really don’t know what materials these colleagues are made of. Could it be that they have three heads and six arms?"
He walked into the second hall and saw Xie Jin, the general ambassador. He bowed respectfully and then reported the matter truthfully.
"Your Majesty, here is the list. There are thirteen people in total. There is no doubt about it."
Huang Xiaoru cried, "That's what I said, but you should also open your eyes and take a look and pick some people I can afford to offend!"
"Your Majesty, I am here to remind you that this is an errand run by Duke Dingguo. Are you going to disobey Duke Dingguo's wishes and be perfunctory?"
But if Duke Ding doesn’t help and lets himself face these people alone, it will be over...
With reason and power, I have nothing to fear!
One sentence stopped Huang Xiaoru.
When Jian Yi heard this, he shouted that something was wrong. It seemed that Xu Jingchang was well prepared!
"If this is the case, the crime will naturally be increased by one level. The specific method of conviction still needs to be decided by the three judicial courts." Jian Yi kicked the ball out inadvertently.
This is the power of the Great Tomorrow Official. He naturally wants to protect the courtiers, but when he cannot protect them, he will abandon them without hesitation and will never be sloppy.
At this time, Xie Jin took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have verified that most of those women are from good families living in the capital, and they are not from low-income families. I hope your Majesty will understand."
Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said, "What are you still doing? Jin Yiwei, arrest people!"
