Bao Hongjiu knew that he had fallen into a big trap. Ever since Ding Yunyi said he wanted to get married, he had tried his best to please him, but he never expected that he would actually dig a big trap for himself.
's grave.
Now, whether he admits it or not, his fate is irreversible. Bao Hongjiu calmed down instead. He stared at his enemy: "Master Hou, aren't you afraid of retribution in the future for doing this?"
"I'm not afraid!" There was no fear on Ding Yunyi's face: "Although what I did is a bit excessive, I am worthy of heaven and worthy of millions of people in Fujian. What about you? Aren't you afraid of retribution?
?You are the one who forces good girls into prostitution, you are the one who steals and sells military rations, and you are the one who bullies men and dominates women. Aren't you afraid that you will not be reincarnated after death?"
As he spoke, he suddenly sneered: "Ah, you are not afraid, because you officials, who are inferior to pigs and dogs, have no conscience for a long time. Your conscience has been thrown away long ago. So you are not afraid. In your eyes, power and money are better than
You can live with everything, you can take bribes and bend the law, you can prey on the people, but have you ever thought about today?"
Have you ever thought about today?
No, Bao Hongjiu, Guan Guohua, and officials like them never imagined that today would happen. However, in Fujian, Ding Yunyi appeared!
Ding Yunyi is more unscrupulous and more wanton than these officials!
Ding Yunyi suddenly pointed his hand: "Look who that is?"
Bao Hongjiu turned his head. He saw clearly that it was his former comrade Mu Chengxian. At this time, Mu Chengxian had completely lost his original grace. He looked at Ding Yunyi timidly and shrank again.
He glanced at Bao Hongjiu: "Mr. Bao, I've done it all, and you, you've admitted it all... Bao Hongjiu sighed and couldn't say a word anymore...
By the time it was getting slightly brighter, almost all the officials had been interrogated. Those terrible torture instruments also solved a lot of trouble for Ye Yuan and the officials who participated in the trial.
Ding Yunyi accompanied the trials of these cases throughout the process. When the sun quietly peeked out of the clouds, his eyes fell on the last official:
Hou Zhiquan, the prefect of Zhangzhou!
"Brother-in-law, you are all tired. Take a rest first, there are still many things to do in the afternoon." After saying this, Ding Yunyi personally moved two stools, came to Hou Zhiquan and put them down: "Hou Huangtang, please sit down.
"
After standing all night, Hou Zhiquan's feet were already sore. He was not polite at this time. He sat down and rubbed his sore legs: "Thank you, Mr. Hou. When will Mr. Hou plan to hear my case?"
case?"
"Is Hou Huangtang so anxious?" Ding Yunyi asked calmly.
"The trial is over. Good morning." Hou Zhiquan actually smiled: "I am most afraid of things being left unfinished, otherwise I won't be able to eat well or sleep well."
"Yes, this is the same as my temper." Ding Yunyi also smiled slightly: "Tell me about it yourself, what did you commit?"
Hou Zhiquan really thought about it seriously for a while: "Master Hou, to be honest, I thought about it on the way here. I also thought about it carefully the whole night, but I really can't think of any big evil in myself."
If there is really a great evil, I am afraid that when Zheng Zhilong came to Fuzhou, I used the money in the treasury to entertain Zheng Zhilong for how many days?"
"This is not a big evil." Ding Yunyi shook his head and said: "Your biggest evil is that you are too honest as an official."
Hou Zhiquan was startled and did not understand what the other party meant.
Integrity? Is it also a crime to be incorruptible?
"Your integrity is simply abominable in my eyes." Ding Yunyi sighed: "Everyone in Fuzhou knows that you are a member of the former governor Zhang Kentang, and now that Zhang Kentang is dead, I am preparing to
In order to deal with the forces he left behind, you probably know this in your heart, and I don’t have to hide anything. But I sent someone to check carefully, and I couldn’t find any corruption or bending of the law on you, which even made me move.
You have no excuses. In Zhangzhou, I was surprised to hear your good reputation as an official. In Zhangzhou, I was surprised to hear how much the people love you. Hateful, hateful, you are like this
How can I take action if the officer asks me to?"
Hou Zhiquan said calmly: "Master Hou is not afraid of anything. He dares to kill anyone. You can just find any excuse to kill me."
"Who said I'm not afraid of anything?" Ding Yunyi stared, and then sighed: "I am still afraid. I am afraid of the people, I am really afraid of the people. For a good official like you, I will kill you.
, the people will definitely avenge you. If I want to kill you, the first person the people will rebel against is me, Marquis Wu Lie... He was silent for a moment: "Also, you are really too smart."
"Oh, I don't know what the Lord Hou means?" Hou Zhiquan asked, startled.
Ding Yunyi smiled and said: "When you were preparing to leave in Zhangzhou, your son said to you, 'I don't believe Ding Yunyi is so bold and dares to dismiss appointed officials privately. That is a serious crime!' Tell your son.
, 'Believe me, there is nothing that Ding Yunyi dare not do...Zheng Zhilong once thought that Ding Yunyi did not dare, but Zheng Zhilong died; Kentang Zhang once thought that Ding Yunyi did not dare, but Kentang Zhang also died. For
To control Fujian, he actually guaranteed Ye Yuan to be the governor of Fujian, and the imperial court actually agreed. It can be seen that the imperial court was very afraid of Ding Yunyi. As long as he did not rebel, the imperial court would respond to his requests.' Hou Huangtang, are you saying these words?
"
With a "swipe", cold sweat broke out from Hou Zhiquan's back.
But who would have thought that Ding Yunyi continued:
"You also said, 'Concubine is not a very honorable thing, but Ding Yunyi wants to make it known to the whole city. It's ridiculous that those officials thought that Ding Yunyi wanted to take the opportunity to accept a large sum of money in bribes. It's ridiculous that they were all wrong.
Ding Yunyi. If Ding Yunyi was a greedy person who only focused on money, how could he be where he is today? He simply wanted to use this concubinage to gather all the Fujian officials together, and then settle accounts with them one by one!
'Hou Huangtang, are you the one who said these words?"
Cold sweat was streaming down his face. Hou Zhiquan really couldn't imagine why Ding Yunyi knew everything he and his son said in private.
"No official in Fujian has guessed the real purpose of my grand campaign to take concubines, but you are the only one who has guessed it." Ding Yunyi stood up: "It happens that a person like you is Zhang Kentang's confidant. You think I
What should I do to you?"
Hou Zhiquan put away his fear: "There is only one way, kill me."
"Kill you?" Ding Yunyi shook his head and said: "If I kill you, the people will not agree, and I will be reluctant to do it either... Forget it, Hou Zhiquan, you should go back to Zhangzhou."
"Go back to Zhangzhou?" Hou Zhiquan thought he heard wrongly.
Ding Yunyi smiled and said: "I can't bear it. I can't bear it. After thinking about it, I still can't bear it. Go back and be your Zhangzhou magistrate, and serve the people well. There are really too few good officials like you in our Ming Dynasty. Killing one of them will be enough."
One. If every official in the future is like you, I won’t have to worry about it anymore. Hou Huangtang, let me tell you the truth, I really hope that there are more officials like you in Fujian, the better.
"
Hou Zhiquan said in a daze: "Aren't you afraid that I will return to Zhangzhou and report everything you did today to the court?"
"You can't do it." Ding Yunyi didn't care at all: "You can't even leave Zhangzhou, what else can you do to report to the court?"
Hou Zhiquan smiled bitterly. Yes, he was afraid that he would not even be able to leave Zhangzhou. Moreover, Ding Yunyi could know that he and his son were talking so privately. What else could he hide from him?
The wedding banquet ended in disarray, and the entire Fujian officialdom suffered a great baptism.
Ding Yunyi stood in front of several concubines in Xinna for a while, and finally pushed open Chen Yuanyuan's door... Chen Yuanyuan had followed him very early, but it was only now that he gave her
As a status, going to her first today can be regarded as a kind of compensation for Chen Yuanyuan...
Chen Yuanyuan was sitting on the bed with a red cloth covering her head. Ding Yunyi was a little surprised when he saw it and helped her take off the red cloth: "You just sat here all night?"
Chen Yuanyuan's face was red, and she nodded silently: "I have promised myself to Brother Ding since I came from Suzhou. I have been waiting for so many years, and no matter how long I sit here, I will always wait for Brother Ding to come.
He personally helped me uncover it... Ding Yunyi sat down next to her and held Chen Yuanyuan in his arms: "Last night finally went well. Those officials all explained it one by one. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back now."
"No matter how late it is, I will wait." Nestling in Ding Yunyi's arms, Chen Yuanyuan suddenly felt that she was the happiest person in the world: "I have been waiting for so many years, and it doesn't matter if I wait a few more years."
In fact, Chen Yuanyuan was only sixteen years old this year, but in her heart, she had been waiting for Ding Yunyi for ten, twenty years...
The sunlight stubbornly penetrated the curtains and spread into the house. But after a busy day outside, it was quiet at this time. Inside the house, it was also quiet...
Chen Yuanyuan's stunningly beautiful face was right in front of him, and Ding Yunyi now further understood the meaning of the two sentences: "Weeping in six armies will lead to the beauty, but being angry will turn the beauty into beauty".
For such a woman, not just Wu Sangui? Maybe he would also become a beauty in anger.
"I'm a little tired after a busy night. Let's take a rest." Ding Yunyi said and gently put Chen Yuanyuan down...
Although Chen Yuanyuan had been looking forward to this day for a long time, her body was constantly trembling.
The woman under her body was full of love and affection. Ding Yunyi whispered all the love words he could think of in her ear, trying to make Yuanyuan's heart relax as much as possible... The hot breath was on Chen Yuanyuan's earlobe.
, not only did Chen Yuanyuan relax, but her body also became soft and weak...
Chen Yuanyuan's clothes were taken off one by one. In the end, the most famous woman among the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai" who would have been famous all over the world, completely belonged to Ding Yunyi alone... Ding Yunyi only slept with two
He was suddenly awakened, there were still too many things waiting for him to do.
Chen Yuanyuan next to her was sleeping soundly. Her whole body belonged to Ding Yunyi, and her whole heart belonged to Ding Yunyi. She slept so peacefully and sweetly that she didn't have to worry about anything anymore...
Ding Yunyi quietly stood up and put on his clothes, without disturbing Chen Yuanyuan at all.
Pushing the door open and going out into the garden, I saw that Ye Yuan and other officials had already gotten up and were busy working on the case.
Ding Yunyi was so ashamed that he hugged the beauty and rested for two hours. However, these subordinates probably just slept for a while and then hurriedly came to handle the case.
Seeing Wu Liehou coming out, the officials were about to get up. Ding Yunyi waved his hand hurriedly: "I'm busy with you, don't worry about me. Ye Fushuai, how are the trials of several key cases going?"
Ye Yuan didn't seem to be used to Ding Yunyi calling him "Ye Fushuai" at first. He was startled for a moment and then said: "The case is basically clear, but there are a few doubtful points that have not been clarified, and we are sorting them out. But the case of fraud in the examination room and the theft of military rations
The two cases that the Marquis personally supervised have been roughly cleared up... We need to make it clear and precise." Ding Yunyi nodded and said: "Actually, to be honest, we are indeed setting up a private court here this time.
, let alone the laws we are re-enacting, even we have violated the 'Great Ming Law'. But now that the situation is urgent, we have to do this as a last resort. We just hope that such a situation will not happen again in the future."
"Master Hou, there is one thing I don't understand very well." Ye Yuan thought for a while and said, "The laws of the Ming Dynasty are actually very complete. Why does the Master need to formulate a new law?"
"Perfect? Far from it." Ding Yunyi smiled: "There are many loopholes in it, and many places are not suitable for development. A relatively more complete and advanced law is the foundation of a new era."
New era? Ye Yuan was even more confused. What kind of new era?
Ding Yunyi really wanted to tell him that the sprouts of capitalism had already begun in the Ming Dynasty, and what he had to do was to let such sprouts sprout and grow. Such opportunities must not be lost from his own hands. And a brand new law will be
The beginning of it all.
It won't take long for the officialdom problems to be cleared up, and Ding Yunyi already has a clear idea of what to do next. The problem he faces now is how to get his subordinates to keep up with him as quickly as possible without falling behind.
He believes that his subordinates have such abilities because they have a leader like himself to lead them!
