Five hundred and twentieth chapters farce of soldiers and horses
Mr. Li's words were so heart-breaking that the official felt that his state of mind was shattered in an instant, and the remaining self-esteem disappeared without a trace in an instant.
This is what he deserves. The complacency and pride that he built solely on bullying the weak, even in the name of law, is still a castle on the beach, and will be destroyed by more powerful forces sooner or later. In front of Mr. Li, he is just
Just a little person.
Li You stood up, no longer looking at the despairing official Zhang, and directed his men to set up seats under the corridor of the lobby. He sat there himself and supervised his men in carrying out the execution.
There are still more than a hundred sergeants in the Nancheng Army and Horse Department, but they have all been taken out for inspection by the chief and deputy commanders. There are only ten officials and more than thirty servants left in the government office. They are all ordered by Lord Li to use eighty sticks.
Then throw it outside the door and show it to the public.
These people were also seen by Li You with his own eyes. They were the main executors of exploiting merchants. In the hearts of the people, the losers were probably more hateful than the masterminds behind the scenes.
People are still very happy to hear about the act of beating a drowned dog and are enthusiastic about it. Mr. Li has confidence in this. But if you don't give others rock-solid confidence, why should others believe in you?
Mr. Li beat up the officials and servants and showed them to the public, just to show his strong will to rectify and the direction of the collapse of the Nancheng Army and Horses Division, and to attract people to fight the lost dogs.
According to traditional customs, once it reaches the point where thousands of people accuse it, both the innocent and the guilty are guilty. Morality can replace the law. Of course, Li You's approach will completely discredit the Nancheng Bingma Division and the Nancheng Procuratorate. It will also make the court interested.
There was nothing to say about this, so Mr. Li just followed the general trend.
Don't ask why. Since Li You took office, Nancheng and Zhongcheng have been the coldest towards him. Again, as a superior, you have the capital to choose to distance yourself. But as a subordinate, being distant from your superior, or not actively approaching him, is the original sin.
.If you have original sin, then don’t complain about your boss giving you small shoes to wear.
Killing the most unruly chicken in Nancheng was just for the monkeys in the other four cities, especially the Central City. Don't think that Li You's gentle attitude since he took office means that he, Li You, is a vegetarian...
Without further ado, Mr. Li was sitting on the porch with a fire burning next to him. While he was eating food and wine sent from a nearby restaurant, he was monitoring the execution. More than forty people were executed, each with eighty sticks. It cost a lot of money.
less time.
Just after finishing the wine and food, Commander Wan from the Nancheng Army and Horses Division hurriedly arrived. It turned out that Commander Wan was inspecting the gates of the outer city, and when he arrived at Yongding Gate, he received news of the changes in his government office. He hurried back.
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to face Mr. Li. But as the chief officer of the Nancheng Military and Horse Division, there was a fire in the backyard, and he couldn't justify not coming forward, so he had no choice but to come here.
"I have met Qian Xian, my official!" Commander Wan stood at the foot of the steps and bowed his hands to Li You.
Mr. Li turned a deaf ear and turned a blind eye, his eyes only drifting to and fro on the screaming bodies in the courtyard. Commander Wan was allowed to stand there like a transparent person, without even having to look at them.
This made Commander Wan very embarrassed, but he could only endure it.
Master Cui came out of the room, presented a stack of documents in his hand to his employer, and reported: "The petitions of several merchants have been recorded. In addition, the officer from the Military and Horse Department whom your Excellency specifically mentioned has also carefully inquired about it. There are some information.
Confession. He admitted that the entire Military and Horse Department was involved in blackmailing merchants, and Zhang Limu, who was familiar with the situation, was in charge of the matter. The commander of the Military and Horse Department and Nancheng Yushi had to share 30% of the income every month."
After hearing the report, Li You said sarcastically: "It's awesome, it's awesome. Under the emperor's feet, the Bingma Division has really been turned into a black shop, with a boss, a shopkeeper, and a clerk. And there has been no problem for many years. If it hadn't been an accidental encounter,
Then even my boss, my boss, is kept in the dark!"
This irony seemed to be Mr. Li talking to himself, but Commander Wan couldn't help it and said: "Sir Qianxian..."
"Shut up!" Li You scolded sternly, "If you weren't an official, and I don't have the Shang Sword in my hand, how would you be qualified to stand here!"
Continuing to scan the messy courtyard, there were not many officials to be punished. A dozen sticks were broken and scattered all over the courtyard. At this time, Lord Qiu, the patrol censor of Nancheng, also rushed to the Military and Horse Department.
In the early years of the Kingdom of China, the purpose of setting up the City Patrol Censor was to control and supervise the Military and Horse Division. It has evolved to this day. Speaking of the City Patrol Censor and the Army and Horse Division, they are called two yamen, which are actually the upper and lower yamen. Although the City Patrol Censor and the Army and Horse Division are
The Shi is the seventh rank, and the Military and Horse Division is the sixth rank, but the censor who patrols the city is still the highest.
It is also the embodiment of the special system of imperial officials in the capital city. It can be compared to the relationship between governors in other places, inspectors and chief envoys.
Therefore, when Mr. Li reported the full title of his official position, the first one was the Inspector of the Right Military Command, and the second one was the Admiral of the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities. When he reported the abbreviation, he called himself the Admiral of the Five Cities.
The word "history" is not without reason.
However, it was said that Nancheng Yushi Qiu walked through the courtyard, walked to the steps, and after saluting Lord Li, he heard a faint voice from above: "Master Qiu is just waiting to be impeached."
Qiu Yushi immediately protested and said: "Master Qian Xian, please don't cause trouble over nothing."
But he said that Qiu Yushi was very alienated after Li Qianxian took office. Could it be that he did not understand the rules of officialdom?
But he also has his own difficulties. He comes from the lineage of Peng Ge Lao. As for the bad relationship between Peng Ge Lao and Li You, everyone in the officialdom of the capital knows about it.
If he is more enthusiastic about Li Jinxian, he will be misunderstood and troubled. Especially in the current situation where Pengge is in turmoil and the situation is declining, that is no longer a normal situation, and he is even more sensitive to many things. I am afraid that he has a little kindness towards Li You.
, even if you are hesitating, you will still be speculated and imagined by others.
As for the censor who patrolled the city, he was on a short-term assignment among the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and his term was only one year. The censor, like Ambassador Lu of the Propaganda Department, took office at the beginning of the year and expired at the end of the new year.
After all the calculations, including the New Year holiday, it was less than three months. The censor felt that this time was not long. As long as he survived these more than two months, he could get away from Li Qianxian's control, so it didn't matter if he was a little distant from Li Qianxian now.
When Qiu Yushi thought about it, it would be good for Li You to sort out the situation within just a few months after he took office. If he wanted to find clues to rectify others, he would have to wait for several months until he became familiar with the situation. By then, he would have already
He was transferred to another place and had nothing to do with Li You.
Qiu Yushi's little calculation was good, but it was a small calculation after all. He already had the right time, place and people under his control, so how could Mr. Li care about his little death struggle.
"Much trouble out of nothing?" Li You sneered and said, "I have seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. Are you saying that what I have seen and heard is all false? It is all made up by my own imagination?"
"I only want to ask you, the Soldiers and Horses Division is corrupt, perverting the law, and exploiting merchants. Do you, the censor of Nancheng City Patrol, know this?"
Qiu Yushi couldn't hear this language trap. If he answered that he knew, he was covering up the crime and was a co-culprit; if he answered that he didn't know, he was neglecting his duty and being ignorant.
Li You asked again: "Do you know whether you know or not? If Qiu Yushi refuses to answer, then when I report it, I will only say that when Qiu Yushi was questioned, he didn't know whether he should know or not. He was probably waiting for something.
Men’s instructions.”
"The lower official doesn't know." Qiu Yushi replied helplessly.
Li Qianxian immediately condescended to him and reprimanded him righteously: "As an official of Feng Xian, known as the leader of the country, your most important duty is to impeach and supervise! But you were tasked by the imperial court to inspect Nancheng of the capital, and such bad things happened under your nose.
He was involved in corruption and perversion of the law, yet he claimed that he had no knowledge of it!
For such a foolish and ignorant person, what use does the imperial court have for you? You must know that the biggest crime is to investigate Feng Xian Guan! If we don’t clean out scum like you, I will be serving as the admiral of the Five Cities Censor in vain!"
Li You felt refreshed after scolding him. He hadn't been so happy for a long time. Suddenly he heard a loud roar: "Li You, I have no enmity with you, why are you harming me for no reason!"
Then they saw Si Wan, the commander of the army, rushing up the steps like a mad tiger. He grabbed Mr. Li's collar with one hand, and raised his fist with the other hand to fight.
While the official was talking, the officers around him were all far away, and help could not be reached at the moment. Fortunately, Mr. Li reacted quickly and hurriedly retreated to dodge. Unexpectedly, he used too much force and his coat was torn open, revealing the cotton coat underneath.
Fighting between officials in public was rare (not unheard of), and all the sergeants and civil servants in the hospital were dumbfounded.
Simply talking about fighting, Li You, who is young and strong and was born as a government servant, can fight 30,000 soldiers, but he is afraid of losing his life...
At present, Commander Wan is furious, his jealousy is as red as blood, and he is rushing towards him without risking his life. Lord Li can only retreat calmly. Besides, Lord Li has a bright future, and he has to take into account his own dignity and reputation.
But there was a fire for warmth behind him, and Li You had nowhere to hide, so he had to walk around the fire, while Commander Wan also chased around the fire.
Master Cui, who was closest to Li You, saw a pot and bowl on the case at hand, so he raised the iron pot and smashed it hard, hitting Commander Wan in the head.
The space on the platform was not big. Commander Wan was hit on the head. He stumbled and fell down the steps. He danced and looked up to the sky and laughed miserably. He shouted: "Hee hee! Very good, very good!"
It was the first time Mr. Li saw such a situation. He was wearing a tattered coarse cloth coat and stood in the cool breeze for a long time, speechless. Was this man named Wan driven crazy by the stimulation?
Master Cui, who beat Commander Wan into a frenzy, was panic-stricken as to how he would cause trouble for himself... He was obviously a weak scholar, but he didn't expect his hand strength and accuracy to be so strong.
This is unscientific! Since ancient times, many people who have been investigated for corruption and bending the law may have committed suicide in fear of crime, but I have never heard of such a poor psychological quality of the crazy people who fear crime. I really don’t know how they turned their own army into a black shop.
Li You shook his head and said to Qiu Yushi: "Commander Wan has lost his mind and gone crazy. It is difficult to hold him accountable based on human feelings. You will be responsible for all the crimes."
Qiu Yushi was furious. At most, he would be demoted to the county magistrate for his dereliction of duty, but if it was more serious, he would be dismissed from office. He rushed forward with a quick stride, but Master Li, who was still frightened, subconsciously hid.
But Qiu Yushi kicked Commander Wan, who was still giggling, and shouted: "If you keep pretending, I will tell all about your concubine and son. Do you think you can hide money secretly without being punished?"
What!"
Commander Wan lifted the carp from the ground, pointed at Yushi Qiu and cursed: "Shameless bastard! Your family appears to be poor, but in fact you secretly opened a money shop in Nancheng to lend money and collect interest. Do you really think I don't know about it?"
Fortunately, the police officer woke up from the shock and arrived in time to separate the two Nancheng officials. Otherwise, there would have been another fight between officials.
Both of their speeches were very good! Mr. Li secretly noted down the key points in his mind. (This site...,.
