Chapter 261
Complete the mission of eradicating evil
After staying in Mocheng for one month, Yan Qing reorganized the city defense and adjusted the troop reserves according to the topography of Mocheng.
Afterwards, Yan Qing, Guo Jia and his entourage set off for Jingcheng again.
On the way, Guo Jia looked at the list of people to be arrested in his hand. It was two pages of densely packed paper, and his brows knitted together. "If all these people are sentenced to death, wouldn't it be excessive?"
"Although the piles have been basically pulled out at this time, if the holes left behind after the piles are pulled out cannot be filled in a while, it will inevitably cause panic among the people."
Guo Jia reminded her worriedly, "Should we keep a batch of less serious ones and deal with them later?"
In response, Yan Qing only gave her four words, "End all evil duties."
"That's true, but..."
Guo Jia still felt that it was not appropriate, "It's too radical, I still think it should be more conservative. Things in the officialdom are easy to say, there are always alternatives waiting at the back. If the person at the top goes down, a better one will come up from the bottom."
Training is a good thing. But here at Minsheng Commercial Bank..."
"There are more people to choose from here."
Yan Qing interrupted her with a deep look, "The reason why a circle becomes a circle is because it has enough low-level professionals as the cornerstone. A house must be built on the foundation, and this circle is the same."
"Only when there are enough people at the bottom and those who are top-notch compared to those who are not top-notch can we become the top of this circle."
Yan Qing randomly put a few pieces of rice cakes together, took a few more pieces and layered them on top, and finally pressed one piece on top. "These top ones press the bottom ones to stand high. It is a sign of true talent and learning."
No matter whether it’s just luck of their birth, it’s their strength that counts, so they can stand on top and have people look up to them.”
"What those at the bottom look up to is mostly not the top, but the position at the top, as well as the privileges and benefits of that position. But the position at the top is limited, and there must always be someone who is the cornerstone, so the top will
Try your best to hold down those below to ensure your position."
"Some will improve themselves and do better; some will go astray and let themselves be ruined and rotten."
As he said that, Yan Qing raised his hand and took off the piece of rice cake that had just been placed on the top. "Those that are broken and rotten will only contaminate the entire circle from top to bottom. Only by pressing these
Those at the top should be thrown away, and only those at the bottom who are struggling to climb up will have a chance to come up."
"Only those at the bottom and those above will truly understand that rotten things are not worthy of being in this position, and are not even qualified to be the cornerstone. Only then will they truly understand that by following the right path and keeping their conscience, even though they may never see it again in their lifetime,
It’s not over yet, but there is always hope and qualification to see it through.”
After swallowing the rice cake in his hand, Yan Qingcai added, "There are so many people in all walks of life looking for a bright future, so why leave those who want to live a good life and make progress all their lives?
Leave those dirty and rotten things that sound unlucky from afar?"
Guo Jia lowered his eyes, suddenly folded the list in his hand, and laughed out loud, "If you say that, then I'm relieved."
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Yan Qing glanced at her and asked, "Is there already a candidate to repair the hole?"
"I can't say it's all there. After all, we can't take care of so many details. But those who take the lead must know the best foundation. Only in this way can they be able to hold on to the shelf and have a shelf for those below to climb up."
Saying this, Guo Jia raised his hand and took away the bottom piece from the rice cakes that Yan Qing had just pieced together, but did not move the top piece.
"To be honest, I'm really afraid that you will be too scrupulous to pull out all the nails."
Guo Jia swallowed the rice cake and sighed, "Last time, you were not so decisive. Why did you suddenly figure it out this time?"
"As you said, there must be a few big beamers to hold up the frame, so that the house will not collapse because of these holes."
Yan Qing answered calmly, even a little pleased, "No one helped me find the pillars last time, and I don't have the extra time and energy to pay attention to these things. Naturally, I have to put safety first."
"Since someone has taken care of these things for me this time, why should I compromise myself and be safe?"
Yan Qing curled his eyebrows and smiled, but his ridiculous smile turned cold when he spoke the next sentence, "If we don't clean up these rotten flesh now, we will wait for them to clump together and mix with the new growth."
Once you have a scar, it’s not that easy to erase it.”
Guo Jia bit into the rice cake and said nothing more, "Just dig holes, and I will use my father's dignity to help you figure it out and fill these holes for you."
Yan Qing smiled, "Thank you."
Within three to five days, Yan Qing and his party arrived in Jingcheng.
The chief envoy and prefect of Jingcheng, who had already heard about the events in Mocheng and Yangcheng, when they heard that Yan Qing's carriage and horses had arrived at Shili Pavilion outside Jingcheng, they hurriedly arranged for people to go up and down, and counted the time to wait at the city gate.
With.
As soon as they arrived at the city gate, Yan Qing and his party also arrived.
Without further ado, I went through the process of Mocheng again.
But because of the previous incident in Mocheng, many people involved learned the news in advance and ran away early.
Although the Jingcheng prefecture issued a wanted order, it had little effect.
Unexpectedly, Yan Qing waited silently for less than half a month, but a team of people came back with a bunch of escaped main criminals!
"Thanks for your hard work."
Yan Qing nodded in greeting to Yan Zhongqi and the others, who were all dressed in dust, and then asked Hongzhuang to lead them down to rest, and handed over the captured principals to Qi Wei, who had just returned to Jingcheng, to escort them to the prison for trial.
It's said to be a criminal trial, but there's really nothing to try.
All the evidence is clearly in front of us. The new batch of grain, grass and weapons that could not be shipped out are still being held at the border. People have stolen the goods, and there is no room for refutation.
The so-called criminal trial is just to give them a chance to confess, and to give their implicated family members a chance to survive.
A month later, everything was settled, but Yan Qing still suppressed the complaints from the border market and refused to reopen the border market.
"Although the main culprit has now been arrested and executed, the other people who secretly assisted are still wandering around without any clues, and the amount of lost materials is huge. All goods at the border must be re-inspected. This is not an easy job. In a short while,
I can’t spare any manpower to maintain law and order in border cities.”
Regarding the request of several officials and business leaders to reopen the border market, Yan Qing reluctantly shied away, "If one of them didn't watch this, if something happened, the Holy Spirit would hold me accountable for my fault. It would be too much for these people."
It’s a small amount and you’ll lose a lot of money. Isn’t it worth the money?”
"Furthermore, the missing money and food and other items have not yet been accounted for. If the border market is opened at this time, and the Holy Father asks about this account - I should say that I am young and incompetent and did not find out the money and food.
Where to go, I hurriedly opened a border market under the pressure of my seniors and left the matter alone. Or should a few people pool the money together and let me go on a mission?"
Yan Qing asked, scanning the people in front of him who were looking at each other, and finally came to a conclusion, "So, you guys should understand that this is not something you and I can handle. If the border market can't be opened, when will it be opened? You have to go up.
The one who opened his mouth can help us avoid taking responsibility. Several people asked, is this true?"
The few people who came to put pressure on Yan Qing heard her words, responded hurriedly, and left in a hurry.
But no one knows that the person sitting on the throne in the capital at this moment has no mind to care about whether the border market is open or not.
This is today’s additional update, see you tomorrow.
