After Yang Qingyuan finished speaking, Wu Yaobing came out and said, "Yang Hou, I think this thief may have other evil deeds. It is better to imprison him and continue the investigation to give justice to the people."
This time, Wu Yaobing seized the opportunity and moved closer to Yang Qingyuan. This soldier, Zhao Shen, was Li Changdeng's man, so he didn't feel bad at all to deal with it.
Moreover, Li Changdeng himself knew that Zhao Shen could no longer be protected! Naturally, he would not fall out with him because of this matter.
And Wu Yaobing can take this opportunity to win Yang Qingyuan's favor, killing two birds with one stone!
Yang Qingyuan glanced at Wu Yaobing who stood up and opened his mouth.
"Who is this lord?!"
"Oh! Wu Yaobing was sentenced to death by the official Shu capital!" Wu Yaobing was a little excited. It was important to leave a good impression in front of the leader.
He has already dealt with all the details behind the siege and killing of Yang Qingyuan.
Coincidentally, Chen Wu, who was in charge of this matter, was bitten by a poisonous snake last night and died.
Wu Yaobing thought that his plan was perfect, and now it was time to get closer to the imperial envoy.
"It turns out to be Wu Tongpan!" Yang Qingyuan nodded, then signaled, "Take it!"
"???"
Wu Yaobing was held down by the police from the Metropolitan Procuratorate on the side. Everyone was dumbfounded!
No, what is going on?!
Yang Qingyuan took out a manuscript from the side, "Wu Yaobing, in the seventh year of Yong'an, was a top three Jinshi. In the ninth year of Yong'an, he was appointed as the magistrate of Jiangyang County. In the twelfth year of Yong'an, Xu Wei, a silk and satin merchant in Jiangyang County, had an affair with his neighbor Li
There was a dispute at home. The two parties fought each other in anger, causing Li's eldest son to break his leg and become permanently disabled.
Afterwards, the two parties negotiated and Xu Wei was willing to compensate, but the two parties could not reach an agreement due to the difference in compensation amount. Therefore, the Li family filed a complaint with the Jiangyang County Government. Wu Yaobing, who was the magistrate of Jiangyang County at the time, accepted the case. The Li family
With a bribe of two hundred taels of gold, the county magistrate Wu Yaobang arrested Xu Wei indiscriminately and put him in jail. He was beaten and sentenced to hanging for the crime of attempted murder! In the twelfth year of Yong'an, Xu Wei's son wanted to go to Beijing to appeal.
As a result, you sent someone to stop me halfway down the road and broke both of my legs.
In the autumn of the thirteenth year of Yong'an, Xu Wei was hanged!"
Wu Yaobing was told by Yang Qingyuan that the sweat on his forehead began to slowly drip.
He thought that he had covered up everything he did in Shudu County, but he didn't expect that Yang Qingyuan did not follow the routine and actually tracked down what happened when he was the magistrate of Jiangyang County.
But it shouldn’t be! He thought he did that case perfectly!
"Wu Tongpan, don't you know what I was doing before?!"
"Master of Dali Temple! I have read so many files on unjust, false and wrong cases, but you still have the nerve to show off your little tricks?!"
Yang Qingyuan's disdainful expression became serious, "My lords, if you are guilty, you can be corrected, but if you are sentenced to death, can you be reborn? Evil thieves like Wu Yaobing, who despise the law of the country and have no conscience, are any different from animals?!"
"..."
Above the high hall, it was as silent as cicadas.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the deposed envoy showed up, he captured two heavyweights. Everyone was panicked for a moment.
Wu Yaobing was still in a state of disbelief.
He didn't expect that he would lose so easily!
Originally, according to his expectations, Yang Qingyuan would have to fight him for hundreds of rounds even if he was in trouble! In the end, he missed a move and was defeated by this dynasty wizard.
If so, he would be convinced of the defeat!
But now, when Yang Qingyuan came forward, he was like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and he was taken down! What is this?!
If Yang Qingyuan knew what Wu Yaobing was thinking at this moment, he would definitely laugh out loud.
A battle of wits and courage is a process that only occurs when the strengths of both parties are close, or when he himself has no flaws?!
But how disparate is the current balance of power?!
Yang Qingyuan was the imperial envoy and governor of Yizhou who was appointed by the imperial court. He carried Shang Fang's horse-killing sword. Not to mention cleaning up a small Shudu County Tongjian. Even directly imprisoning the governor of Yizhou, it was within his authority.
within.
And Wu Yaobing himself was full of flaws. He was used to doing evil things, so how could he deal with it all at once?
Yang Qingyuan simply sent someone to check and found a lot of problems from his past files.
Wu Yaobian was still confused and just muttered.
"This is not as planned!"
Yang Qingyuan just smiled slightly, Wu Yaobing didn't understand a reason.
Only when the strength of the two sides is close, can maneuvers and maneuvers make sense.
In the face of absolute strength, conspiracy and tricks will not play a big role.
Ignoring Wu Yaobing, Yang Qingyuan patted the stack of documents on the desk and faced the official standing below.
"I have more than one or two criminal evidence here. The imperial court sent me here to investigate the officials in Yizhou."
Yang Qingyuan's words were calm, but most of the officials in the high hall shuddered.
Behind these four simple words, "Investigate officials and rule the country," will always represent the bloodshed.
Everyone looked at Yang Qingyuan's thick stack of documents. To many officials in the hall, it was not a document, but an endless abyss.
"In this way, I will give you an opportunity. Anyone who takes the initiative to stand up and bow his head and plead guilty will have his crime reduced by one level when the procuratorate decides and imposes a sentence. Anyone who stubbornly resists and is unwilling to confess will have his crime increased by one level!"
After finishing his words, the hall of Yizhou Governor's Mansion fell silent.
All relevant people are considering gains and losses. They don't know whether there is evidence of their guilt in these manuscripts, and how much evidence there is?
When to plead guilty and what crime to plead guilty to?
This is also a university question!
Yang Qingyuan will naturally give them time to think, but he will not give them time to think carefully.
After dozens of breaths, Yang Qingyuan spoke again.
"Those who admit their guilt must come out and stand on the left side of the front hall until they are questioned by the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. A stick of incense will be timed. After the incense is used up, surrender will no longer be accepted."
After saying that, Yang Qingyuan stood up and said to Sun Zhengtong, the governor of Yizhou, who was at the head of the right column, "Prince Sun, come with me into the inner hall to talk."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I will accept my order!"
When the incense was halfway burning, the Fa Cao of Shu Capital Mansion couldn't bear it any longer, and he was the first to stand up.
The Deputy Inspector of Yizhou and the Supervisory Censor Hu Yunji in the hall had a smile on their lips.
People all have a following mentality. If you have the first one, you will naturally not lack the second or third one!
Sure enough, after Fa Cao of the Shu Capital Prefecture stepped forward, Hu Cao of the Yizhou Governor's Prefecture also moved his steps. Each step seemed to be of critical importance. He walked step by step to the left side of the front hall and became the second person to step forward on his own.
of officials.
He believed that what he committed was not a big mistake. The original punishment was probably to be demoted to one level. If according to Yang Qingyuan, if he surrenders and commits another crime, he will be reduced to one level, and he may only be fined. So after thinking about it again, it is beneficial.
Hu Cao from the Prefectural Governor's Office became the second person to stand up.
Then the third, the fourth... more and more officials came forward.
The smile on Hu Yunji's face became even brighter. His old face smiled like a chrysanthemum. This time's work was much easier than before!
These Shu capital magistrates who came forward to surrender were actually "entrustees" sought by Yang Qingyuan and Hu Yunji in order to break the reserve and uneasiness of the officials.
It takes courage to be the first to stand up for others, and it takes even greater courage to dare to be the first to plead guilty to others.
Corrupt officials may not necessarily use this kind of courage.
This is the same as bungee jumping. If you can't jump by yourself, you have to find someone to help push you!
And Yang Qingyuan and Sun Zhengtong were in the back hall, really just drinking tea.
Sun Zhengtong was an old man in the court and was about to retire. Although his abilities were mediocre, he was not at fault.
Although there were no achievements during his tenure in Yizhou, it was not a big mistake. Following the rules and not exceeding them were Sun Zhengtong's greatest strengths.
If most officials could be like Sun Zhengtong, the world would be much more peaceful!
Governing a large country is like cooking small dishes, and the same is true for governing a state.
If the governor of a state is just mediocre, as long as he doesn't mess around, the people of the state may not be able to live and work in peace and contentment, but they can still make ends meet.
What I fear the most is the kind of person who clearly lacks ability but has to make some political achievements, whether it is to impress the superiors or because he wants to make some achievements, this is a huge hidden danger.
The New Deal is never easy.
…
-------------------
At midnight, the imperial envoy was on his way.
"As the Marquis expected, most of the people who came to surrender were people who had made minor mistakes!"
This is also human nature!
If he really committed such a big mistake as infringing on human life, annexing land, and ambushing an imperial envoy, how could he surrender and confess?!
Even if the punishment is light, it will change from the Yi tribe to the confiscation of homes and extermination of families. Does it make sense?!
"Master Hou, we must guard against these mermaids breaking the net!" Hu Yunji was a little worried.
These local tycoons in Yizhou have been operating in Yizhou for decades, even nearly a hundred years, and their influence is deeply intertwined.
In the past, when Hu Yunji was investigating cases, he had always been cautious and step-by-step. He had never been so bold as Yang Qingyuan, who directly put the knife on someone's neck.
"It's not that we have to be on guard, but they will definitely jump over the wall!"
They were able to ambush and kill the imperial envoys. Now that Yang Qingyuan is fine, they are the ones who are in trouble!
They dare to ambush and kill the imperial envoy, but they still don't know the seriousness of the matter!
During the millennium, a fire in Lingnan destroyed a special zone!!
This is the case at all times and in all countries!
"Then what should we do?" Hu Yunji was a little anxious. He didn't have Yang Qingyuan's martial arts skills. If the people in the Yizhou water were to stir up trouble, he would be in danger!
"It's too late! They will probably take action tomorrow night!"
"Ah?!" Hu Yunji's pupils suddenly dilated
…
-----------------------------------------------
"The man named Yang is really cruel, arrogant and domineering!"
It was also the first time for a group of Yizhou officials to see the deposed envoy directly above the high hall, making people bow their heads and confess their crimes, and they did not take them seriously at all.
"He also captured Wu Tongjian on the spot! He is the sixth rank of the imperial court and the second-in-command of the government office of the capital of Shu!"
Wu Yaoping, the general judge, was once the highest-ranking person in this room!
A middle-aged man in his forties couldn't stand such a depressing atmosphere, so he took action.
"His surname is Yang, and he went on a killing spree just because he came from the city of gods. I must send a letter to my cousin and read his copy!"
This man is the head of the Wu family, and Wu Tongpan is his biological brother. They are not local squires in Yizhou. Their ancestral temple is still in Yuzhou, but most of the family property has been transferred to the capital of Shu.
But the person in charge of the Chen family on the side said in a strange way, "Brother Wu, what you said is as if everyone here has no connections at all, but is it useful?!"
Those who can dominate a local area have more or less backers in the capital, otherwise they would not dare to confront local officials.
For example, the head of the Wu family, his cousin, is a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel in the capital. He even served as a clerk in the Wenhua Palace and proofread the books. Although it is far from comparable to that of the Wenhua Palace, his future is still good.
, if your official career goes smoothly, or you can reach the position of minister in two years, even if you are sent to another state, you will still be a frontier official!
As a digression here, during the years when this doctor was on duty at Wenhua Palace, the bachelor of Wenhua Palace was Yang Qingyuan.
Like the Chen family, they are a little weaker, but their future is very good. They ranked seventh in the imperial examination, and now they are working as a member of the Ministry of Justice.
Now the nominal second-in-command of the Ministry of Punishments, but the de facto first-in-command is Song Huifu, the former Prime Minister of Dali Temple.
Everyone here has connections in the city of God, but these connections are not even close to those of Yang Qingyuan’s former subordinates...
"Then what do you think we should do?!" The head of the Wu family became angry when he heard this strange tone, but now that everyone is on the same boat, it is still a broken boat that is leaking everywhere and is about to sink, so he can only endure it for now.
Of course there is a reason why the head of the Chen family is like this. Chen Wu, who had always been close to the Wu family, is dead, and it is very likely that Wu Yaobing killed someone to silence him. Although there is no evidence, the Chen family must have something in mind.
It was only because of the huge external threat of Yang Qingyuan that I temporarily tolerated it.
Although you can't do anything against the Wu family, you can still use a few words of yin and yang.
"I think this is the situation now anyway. With Yang's ability, sooner or later we will be traced. Just... keep going..."
The head of the Chen family made a knife with his hands and made a swipe at his neck with a ferocious expression.
Although there are many conflicts between the two parties, the words of Patriarch Chen speak to Patriarch Wu’s heart!
The two looked at each other and just did it.
"Then do it! Anyway, you will die, so let's give it a try!" The head of the Wu family looked fierce, "I have placed people in the city gate captain, and there are also my people in the regiment training in Shudu."
"Very good. I have contacts with several groups of bandits in the capital of Shu. There are about three to four thousand people in total!" The head of the Chen family also said, "When the time comes, you ask the soldiers at the city gate to let them into the city. These
They took advantage of the darkness and went straight to the imperial envoy's camp!"
The head of the Wu family's eyes widened when he heard this, "I'm sorry, you are an immortal, did you do anything to our Wu family's previous caravan?"
Patriarch Chen obviously didn't expect Patriarch Wu to ask this, and was stunned for a moment, "You short-lived son of a bitch! What time is it now, do you care about this!?"
"..."
Hearing this conversation, everyone else in the room was dumbfounded.
Aren't we here to discuss retreats and countermeasures? How come it has become a large-scale rebellion planning site!
