Chapter 25 Finished Questioning (1)
Zhu Yunxiu put down his knee-holding hand, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
"Why?" he asked and answered himself, "That is, the people can trust their officials and their governments. Whether it is prosperous or chaotic, there are always people loved by the people. The people have no intention. Whoever treats them well or trusts them will follow, right?"
Li Jinglong hurriedly said, "Long live the words of Master are deafening and thought-provoking."
"So after reading history, I was thinking that in our prosperous era, in addition to the national treasury, the capital and military fronts, we should also think about other things." Zhu Yunxiu sighed slightly, "Take Wang Sanqiao's case as an example, a simple case made a woman come to the capital."
"Why did she come? Isn't there any reason yet?"
"If the local county magistrates think of asking the people for their lives without fear of power or not talking about so many human relationships, will this case not be so shattered?"
"Even if he dares not offend people, will he not be able to get rid of this case when sent to Chengying Tianfu?"
"There are so many officials in Jurong County who eat imperial grain, which slightly corresponds to the slightest whine of the sky, or a few words to know, can't we make such a big deal?"
After a series of rhetorical questions, Li Jinglong's heart immediately became clear.
"It's over, all the officials in a county town are going to be in trouble!"
"When I was the King of Wu, I personally handled the case of the Sun family in Hangzhou!" Zhu Yunxiu continued to speak, but his tone had changed a little and became stern. "At that time, I said something to the governor in Hangzhou. The root of the small case becoming a big case is that the complainant has to face not only the evil people, but a group of people standing behind the evil people."
"I just said that there are always good and bad officials in troubled times, whether in troubled times, there are always good and bad officials. Many corrupt officials in troubled times are reasonable, because there is no rules and no reason, let's be bad together. But in prosperous times, it's hard to say it, and it's heartbreaking!"
"Why do you remember to eat or not to beat?"
"Do you have to be like an old man? The yamen is facing the temple hall, and in the lobby of the officials, you can get a memory after hanging a few human skins? Wang Sanqiao's incident is not an isolated case, but there are signs of this everywhere."
When Li Jinglong heard this, his body trembled a little in secret.
At this time, Zhu Yunxiu stood up and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
He turned around again and spoke in a decisive voice, "You go to pass my oral order later. What is the commander of Yingyang Guard?... He was dismissed from his post on the spot. The Ministry of War of the Governor's Office sent someone to temporarily take charge of the person and his family, and he will return to Beijing to take care of the people and their families."
Li Jinglong immediately understood the emperor's intention, and was supervised when he was removed from office and returned to Beijing. No matter what, Ying Yangwei's commander was inevitably charged with a poor child-education. He even followed the emperor's wishes and had to investigate other matters.
"The turtle's shame!" Zhu Yunxiu said again.
"I am here!" The turtle came over.
"Called by Baozhao, Yang Jing, Yan Zhenzhi and Zheng Ci come here!"
"yes!"
After a while, the four civil officials sorted out their clothes and hats outside the pavilion.
The four of them were the chief officials of the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate of the Ming Dynasty.
"My dear one..."
"I won't make trouble today!" Zhu Yunxi raised his hand lightly and sat down on the stone bench, "Dali Temple of the Ministry of Justice!"
Bao Show and Zheng Ci came out of the line, "I am here!"
"There is a case where the victim was in Li Jinglongna. A woman in Jurong County was raped. After reporting to the official, the government said it was adultery. The Ministry of Justice Dali Temple was the chief trialer, so he went to Jurong County to conduct an open trial." Zhu Yunxiu and the other two said, "Can you understand?"
The two of them were shocked. Why did this happen again on today's festive day? Besides, why did the miserable man be with Duke Cao? Could it be Duke Cao...?
They had all kinds of questions in their hearts, but they didn't dare to ask a word at this time, because the emperor's tone of speaking was unprecedentedly cold.
"I will do my best!"
"No matter who is involved, investigate!" Zhu Yunxiu ordered again, "No matter who is involved, arrest!" As he said, he had a cold face, "The person caught will be detained in the Ministry of Justice. When He Guangyi comes back, no matter how much the crime is, he will......"
Everyone's hearts suddenly thrust.
"Skin all!"
The few people in front of Zhu Yunxiu seemed to have returned to the most harsh years when the old man was in power. Those days were nightmares for officials of the Ming Dynasty. They went out in the morning and didn’t know if they could go back in the evening.
The Dali Temple Censorate of the Ministry of Justice, including the executioner of the Jinyiwei, was not enough, and she was too busy to peel it.
Dali Temple Minister Zheng Ci and Li Jinglong had a good relationship with each other, so they looked at each other in private. They hoped to get some information, but the other party remained motionless.
"A few days ago, the White Lotus Sect was in Shaanxi!" Zhu Yunxi continued, "You know this. Fortunately, the imperial court wiped out it in time and no major troubles occurred. But the Jinyiwei's report in Xi'an made me scared!"
"It's also very embarrassing!"
Zhu Yunxiu slapped his thighs, "The government has to rely on gangsters to catch people, huh? What's even more embarrassing is that these gangsters are raised by the government."
The few people in front of him turned pale in an instant.
"Criminal Office!"
"I am here!" Yang Jing and Yan Zhen left the line.
"You all inspect the censors, and take charge of the world's supervision and inspection of the censors. These censors supervise the officials of various prefectures and prefectures to investigate litigation, criminal and prison matters." Zhu Yunxiu looked at the two of them, "It's time to use them now. Check it out for me and see it!"
"Is there any unfairness in litigation and prison? Local officials may neglect their duties, so that the people have nowhere to seek justice. Is there any taboo of knights and scoundrels and rogues rampant!"
The two of them immediately said, "I will obey the order!"
"Don't just follow the order!" Zhu Yunxiu didn't give any face. "Cheer carefully. If there is a crime, you will be killed without mercy." As he said, he sneered, "It is impossible that there will be calm everywhere, and there will be no ripples."
"The censor does not need to inform the local local officials when he is searching. If there is verification, local officials are not allowed to attend and visit."
"Don't let me down, otherwise I will change to the Jinyiwei and see how good you look!"
The two were extremely frightened, "I will do my best to do my best, without any omissions!"
Zhu Yunxiu was angry and his tone was calmer. "In the book Huainanzi, it is said that if a person has no good wisdom, even if he is brave, he will lose."
"If a person has no conscience, no matter what his achievements are, he will sooner or later die. Today, what I ask you to do is to destroy those without conscience."
"I also know that such people are always killed, but they are better than killing them. Otherwise, the people will be able to slap their backs and scold them."
"The prosperous era that the Ming Dynasty has finally ushered in is not tolerated, and it cannot tolerate smelly fish and rotten shrimps, nor can it tolerate maggots!"
The few people quickly bowed their heads, and the emperor's meaning was already clear.
Administration! People’s sentiment! Criminal prison!
"Go to do things!" Zhu Yunxiu waved his hand again, "Kuke Cao stay!"
I really don't want to stay!
Li Jinglong thought to himself that when the emperor's karma is rising, he is really afraid that something is wrong, or that the emperor is going to vent his anger on him.
Zhu Yunyu picked up the tea bowl and drank half a sip of the cold tea.
"Your son Li Qi couldn't stand the case of Wang Sanqiao, so he thought of suing the emperor, right?"
Li Jinglong knelt down, "Long lively, I just whipped the little beast a few times. The country has its own national laws, so he shouldn't have been like this." As he said that, he looked at Zhu Yunxi's face, "At that time, he and the son of the Chengen Hou family..."
"Stop!" Zhu Yunxiu interrupted him, "Don't look for repairs to Xiaoshitou. I don't know that child yet? The most unintentional and careless person is. He can't think of the complaint. If he does it, he will either go directly to the Ministry of Justice of Dali Temple, or go directly to the palace to tell the queen!"
"Long live the clarification!" Li Jinglong's heart trembled.
"What is wrong, what day is today? I have to make an appeal or take eye medicine in front of the old man?" Zhu Yunxiu said a few words and suddenly smiled, "But it is extremely rare for a young man to be kind-hearted and have a righteous heart."
Li Jinglong immediately looked up and said, "The little beast in my family is just too arrogant!"
