Regarding apologizing to the public, Liu Quan always felt that her husband had gone too far.
It's enough to punish the officials involved in the case. There is really no need to humiliate oneself and publicly criticize one's actions in public.
Qi Yu smiled faintly, took his wife in his arms and said, "Since I am the chief shepherd of a party, I must set an example and set an example. If I pretend to be stupid and act stupid after encountering something, how can I convince others?"
"Oh, okay then." Seeing that her husband was still insisting, Liu Quan stopped and said no more.
As the saying goes, a man is in charge of the outside world and a woman is in charge of the house. He basically makes the decision in external affairs.
Since he is the mistress, let’s talk to him about this ‘house’.
"Ms. sir, haven't the Yin family in the capital sent a reply yet?"
"As of now, not yet."
"oh……"
Liu Quan thought for a while and said: "Let me think about it. Regarding the good things between you and sister Yin, it is impossible for the old man of the Yin family to block it. Needless to say, Yin Jun has long been eager to marry with our family. In other words, on this level,
Once the window paper is pierced, the rest will not be difficult."
Qi Yu nodded and said: "We are from the same family, so the mother of the Yin family really can't say anything."
"Besides being a good match, you two are also very compatible! With such a good match, who would really be willing to beat up a mandarin duck?" Liu Quan smiled faintly and said, "My husband, you must treat her well in the future."
The she here naturally refers to Yin Tao.
Qi Yu was slightly startled when he heard this, and then said seriously: "Don't worry, ma'am, since I have accepted her, I will treat her well and with all my heart. We will love each other, and we will never forget each other in the world."
"Ms. sir, I believe in you!" Liu Quan smiled happily, and then said: "I just hope that little girl can work hard enough to spread the branches and leaves of our family and prosper the population."
Alas, is it really that important to continue the incense?
In response, Qi Yu smiled bitterly and deliberately did not answer.
Seeing this, Liu Quan quickly changed the subject and said, "Ms. sir, how long do you think it will take for the Yin family's reply to arrive?"
"Well, it could be the Lantern Festival next year at the earliest, around February 2 at the earliest, or no later than mid-February at the latest." Qi Yu thought for a while and added: "Of course, the premise is that the steam engine being tested cannot
If there is an unexpected failure, otherwise it may be delayed until the end of February."
"Ah, we have to wait so long..."
Liu Quan is indeed a little anxious now. She has been running around a lot for Yin Tao's good deeds. As for the purpose, it is naturally to prepare for the so-called grand event in advance.
Didn't the husband say that he would marry Yin Tao with the ceremony of marrying a wife, and everything should be done in a complicated manner, and he must not neglect this beautiful lady.
With this purpose in mind, Liu Quan began relevant preparations.
In addition to the required betrothal gifts, you also need to find a respected old man to serve as a matchmaker, otherwise the etiquette will be incomplete.
Liu Quan specifically found Luo Yuan for this purpose.
This old gentleman had served as the chief minister of the Imperial Academy. He was knowledgeable and had a good reputation. He was the perfect matchmaker.
Upon hearing such a good thing, Luo Yuan agreed without even thinking about it.
This is a great honor, and it is something that can only be met by chance. There is really no reason to refuse it.
After coming back to his senses, Liu Quan hesitated and said: "Ms. sir, everything is ready now. All we need is a happy letter from her Yin family. As soon as the letter arrives, we will start making arrangements immediately. By then, if the Yin family comes in person,
I asked the big matchmaker to meet and negotiate with them to see if we can handle the engagement and marriage together, so as to save the family members from having to travel back and forth so hard."
Qi Yu laughed and praised: "Madam is really attentive, she even thought of these things."
"This is a major matter for our family, how can we ignore it?"
"Yes, my lady is right."
"..."
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.
As the cock crows loudly in the morning, the white eastern clouds break through the sunrise, and the golden sunshine shines on the earth.
At this time, a dark crowd was gathering in the square in front of the provincial government office gate. They were whispering to each other, seemingly discussing something.
"What did you say? Mr. Qi is going to make a public review? Is it true or false?"
"This is the announcement posted by the chief envoy, Mr. Yu. It should be unmistakable."
"Master Qi demeans himself so much, it seems that he is making a fuss out of a molehill."
"Actually, that's not the case! Just imagine, if that kind of bad luck happened to you and me, would we still have this kind of mentality of watching the excitement?"
Too!
The melon-eating crowds were all talking, chattering, and talking about anything.
However, their attitudes are highly unified on one thing, that is, corrupt officials must be severely punished and no leniency will be tolerated.
This is what public opinion wants.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qi Yu led his men and filed out and stepped onto the high platform that had been set up long ago.
Then, he pressed it with his big hand, and there was immediately silence and no more buzzing.
"Fellows and fellow villagers, Qi Yu is very polite."
"The common people have met Mr. Qi."
"Well, I believe you have all heard that there was a bad case of corruption and demolition recently in Qiongzhou. The officials involved did not obey the law at the top and did not consider the people's sentiments at the bottom. They took advantage of the power in their hands to act arbitrarily, and even
More than 800 Hemei families have been displaced and live miserable lives without a roof over their heads. These are all caused by my failure to govern, and I am here to apologize to you!"
After saying this, he bent down and bowed deeply to the people.
Then, he added: "Qi was not strict with the officials, which led to disaster, and he should be held responsible for the crime of negligence. Today, I am willing to cut off my hair and take the first place as self-punishment, and as a warning!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a three-inch dagger and cut off a strand of hair at the temple.
"The Classic of Filial Piety" says: The hair and skin of the body are received from the parents; not daring to damage them is the beginning of filial piety.
The meaning of this sentence is that every hair and every inch of skin on the body is given by the parents and should be carefully taken care of without any damage. This is the most basic beginning of fulfilling filial piety.
It can be seen from this that Qi Yu's cutting off his hair and taking the place of his head is already a very harsh way of self-punishment.
The people were shocked when they saw this.
However, after the shock, they also tolerated and forgiven the authorities' mistakes from the bottom of their hearts.
After Qi Yu punished himself, Yu Hai and Tan Junyan took over the baton and conducted self-examination one after another.
The last person to appear in the finale was, of course, Peng Wenchang, the host of The Unselfish.
Without much explanation, he directly brought out the relevant files of the case and read out the verdict in public.
Roughly speaking, it means that the officials and minor officials should be punished together, and the tigers and flies should be beaten together.
This move has two implications.
First, he wanted the common people to see how resolute Governor Qi’s anti-corruption determination was; second, he wanted those officials who were deteriorating to open their eyes and see that if they got their hands on something they shouldn’t touch, this would be the final outcome.
end.
Finally, the case came to an end with the unanimous applause of all the people, and it was considered completely settled.
