Section 287 Wei Zheng's ruthlessness (2)
"Slow down."
Wei Zheng was not a person who could be slaughtered at will. Otherwise, he would have no way to escape the chaotic times of the late Sui Dynasty.
"What, you have something to say, when you are in the palace to resist the imperial edict, this is the one that I can cure your sins."
Li Shimin looked at him coldly and asked, "Do you boy feel that you are invincible, and I dare not kill you?"
From the perspective of later generations, Li Shimin did not dare to become Tian Khan before he became a useless hat, but after he had such a useless hat, he dared to do this kind of thing. Do you think it is weird?
"I did not deliberately resist the order, but to protect the face of Your Majesty and the court. If Your Majesty thinks that I should be imprisoned, I dare not resist at all. But if this case is retried, Your Majesty's reputation may be damaged. I wonder if Your Majesty can accept it?" Could Wei Zheng not put the hat on it? Of course, it will, otherwise how can he get involved in this world? Moreover, his hat is very direct.
"Oh? You still have such kindness, so I will be grateful."
When an emperor said such words to a minister, it can be seen that Li Shimin was really angry.
"This matter is actually very simple. Why don't we talk about it here first. Please don't spread it. If Your Majesty thinks that Wei is doing something wrong, then after the mistake, Wei will go and re-examine it, okay?" Wei Zheng asked lightly, without seeing everyone's faces change. What do you mean? Are we all people with a sluggish mouth? In fact, this is true. Some things formulated by the imperial court in the past will be spread soon, especially those like Xie Hao and Liu Siguang, who can say anything after three times the horse's urination.
"Then I give you this opportunity. If you say something is wrong, don't blame me for being ruthless." Li Shimin was still angry just now. After he has recovered from his calmness, he naturally needs to give the other party a face and then kill him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Zheng bowed unsincerely, then looked at Liu Siguang and others and began to say.
"This matter is actually very simple. It is a case of injury. The case itself is just as Lord Pei Ju said before. It is because of the food problem. The food in Songzhou is good. The adults here may not be able to imagine it. It is just a few pieces of meat. But these pieces of meat make the work on the construction site in Songzhou very fast and neat. In addition, they did not deliberately make the people sad, so everyone agrees with this. But four days ago, the servant who transported the food in Songzhou was named Xiaojun. He encountered an attack from someone else on the way to transport the food back to the construction site from the restaurant. He was seriously injured and almost got beaten out. Fortunately, the people of Songzhou had a way to save the man. At that time, there were still a few Wuhou who could testify about this matter, and I also found the two.
Individually, it was true that someone was pushing a car at that time, and then there were braised pork, pancakes and rice porridge on it. However, when they were there, the things in the car were robbed and the people were unconscious. However, the people in Songzhou did not report to the officials, but took people back for treatment. Later, after the man was treated, when the food was transported again, the people in Songzhou strengthened their vigilance and sent a man named Xing Tian to follow him. As a result, the group of people ate the martyrdom and went to rob him again. Unfortunately, they were not very lucky this time. Xing Tian was too powerful. The few of them were carrying sticks to knock Xiaojun out, but they were injured by Xing Tian. This was the whole story at that time. I didn't add any more fuel or ignorance, nor did I say a word."
"Later, the two Wuhou felt that the matter might be serious, so they broke the matter into Jingzhaoyi. I sent someone to summon the two of them to question. You know the result later. This is the case, so I released them. At the same time, because the people of Songzhou are generous, I did not continue to hold these people accountable. Originally, after these people snatched away the things, except for some of them, they were also distributed to the people in the family, which should be considered as stolen stolen. But I thought about what Your Majesty taught everyone to be kind to others and to regard the people as the people of the Tang Dynasty, so I took personal favor and did not hold them accountable. But I didn't expect that the Censor Liu just saw the appearance of a matter and ran to the hall to ask Your Majesty to issue an order to re-examine. Can this matter be re-examined? Ah?"
His voice made Liu Siguang and others unable to help but take a step back, because if they follow what Wei Zheng said, these people will be detained. No matter how long they are imprisoned, it will be a punishment. But now he is letting go, for personal gain, not targeting Songzhou people, but targeting those people. You just said that they are partial to their work, but now the partial people are coming out, and they are the people you talk about. How do you do this now?
Li Shimin was also silent. This matter was very clear now. Wei Zheng wanted to give the people some way to survive. Moreover, he could not say that what he did was wrong. Otherwise, the people would not have much food to eat in the cell, what should they do at home, what should children do, and what the elderly do? Should they all be locked up?
"But they just wanted to eat meat. They stole some meat. Why did Xing Tian's move so hard? Is he taking revenge on personal gain?" Liu Siguang was a perfect person. However, such intelligence was not used in the right place, but instead caused trouble to Li Shimin.
"According to my Tang Dynasty law, even if you rob a hundred cents of money, you can be beaten to death on the spot as a robber. The amount of their two robberies has exceeded five cents of money."
Wei Zheng's words made Liu Siguang stunned. So much, right? Then he thought that it might be his nonsense, and he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Wei, are you exaggerating? Every market eats at most no more than 500 cigarettes a day, how could there be so much money for five stakes?"
"This is the problem of eating meat that Master Pei Ju just mentioned. If it is all clear soup and water, it does not cost much. However, if it is meat, a plate of braised pork is usually made in Chang'an City, and those people robbed such a large bucket, and it was made by the apprentice of the chef of Shiweixuan. How much does it cost?"
Wei Zheng pointed to the ground, then placed it all the way to his chest, then stroked his hands and said, "A bucket of such a big one, do you think, is it valuable?"
"Impossible, the people of Songzhou are crazy? So much? Their money is picked up on the street? Isn't it crazy?" Xie Hao almost subconsciously said this sentence, but Wei Zheng heard it and pointed at the other party's nose and said, "Mr. Xie, you are very brave. What is a villain? Even Your Majesty dare not say it. You dare. It seems that you have been used to treating the people like this? Because of this, you should know how the workers on the construction site live? Why did you just need to issue an order to re-examine this? If this is the case, what will the people who are still making trouble now do? Are they locked up?"
"I..." Xie Hao was about to retort, but felt Li Shimin's eyes, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart, "I don't, I don't."
"One of your homes has participated in repairing the city walls. You know what food is given to the people on the construction site. What good people are still pretending to be here now?" Wei Zheng's words can be said to have pulled many people on the table. You people are so disgusting.
"Okay, let this matter be aside, just tell the people in Suiyuan that they should not make things difficult for them." Li Shimin directly made the law, and then looked at Liu Siguang, "Liu Siguang does not understand the world, and he dares to provoke trouble in the court if he speculates freely. He will punish him for half a year to serve as a warning. If he commits again, I will never give up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Siguang didn't care about that little money, because the salary of the Tang Dynasty was not much greater.
"As for you, I almost got into trouble just now, Wei Aiqing gāo zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān zhān z
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao Yu and others bowed directly. They all had to stand out at this time, otherwise the consequences would be worrying.
"I thank Your Majesty on behalf of the people, thank you all, sirs." Wei Zheng said with a smile, which made people feel angry.
Although this incident did not give Wei Zheng any reputation, because of this, everyone has an opinion on the so-called petitioner for the people.
Especially when he was in trouble, the people who were fined before would not let him go to his house to get money, which was not embarrassing enough. However, these people were also quite disgusting. They actually gave him all the money in bulk, with a 1,000 ounce of money for a 1,000 ounce of money for a 1,000 ounce of money. Be good, so much money, you have to be carried in a bamboo basket. Fortunately, Wei Zheng is not a good person. He can't survive in troubled times, so he can't carry it to him.
It was almost noon at this time, and the sunlight outside had risen, the temperature was extremely high, and the ground was already hot. However, this was not necessarily the most annoying thing. The most annoying thing was that none of the people in Songzhou had come out. Several people at the door were so hot that they fainted, and the door was in a mess.
It is said that the Tang Dynasty has strong strength and higher humanistic quality, but that is something that happened later. Now Chang'an City is actually quite dirty, and the cleanest one is Songzhou City.
When Wei Zheng arrived, they were a little hysterical about to hit the door, and a person also came out of Suiyuan: a strong man, Xing Tian.
Seeing such a big man, they were naturally frightened, but what was even more terrifying was that these people were instigated by some people behind them and actually planned to attack Xing Tian.
"It was you, a thousand-killed man who injured my son. I'll fight you today."
The Tang Dynasty's open policy made many people's courage gradually become bigger, and it seemed that they would not see anything. To be honest, all this is meaningless.
Seeing the dirty man trying to get close to him, Xing Tian wanted to get angry because he was holding a broom in his hand, but Wei Zheng shouted, "Stop."
Xing Tian stopped, but the old man, who was in his forties, did not have such awareness. He directly wanted to grab Xing Tian's face and scratch it a few times, but was kicked directly from the steps by Xing Tian, without knowing life and death.
"you."
Wei Zheng got off the horse and ran over to look at Xing Tian and said coldly, "Didn't I ask you to stop? You dare to hit someone. Do you think I can't punish you?" Then he asked the people around him to go over and see if the person was dead.
"Sir, if I don't kick her, she will get close to my clothes. If this clothes are dirty, can they afford it?"
Wei Zheng looked down at him and almost fainted. Where did the kid get a piece of silk clothes? This thing is very expensive. "Why are you wearing this in such a hot day?"
"Sir, are there any things that are not allowed to be worn on the laws of the Tang Dynasty?" Xing Tian asked coldly, "If not, there is no need to report to the adults what I wear, right?"
"You." Wei Zheng is a reasoning person. Otherwise, anyone else would have dealt with this kid and even talked back to me?
"Sir, that person is fine, he just fainted."
The people below quickly came over and said, and then the people seemed to have seen the savior and rushed to the ground and said, "Sir, you must make the decision for us. These unruly families bullied us civilians in this way, which is not a way to live."
Then the others shouted and cried, as if they were greatly wronged.
The people around also looked at Wei Zheng and saw how this so-called good official for the people judged this matter. According to their understanding, the people in Songzhou must be severely punished, so that everyone can be truly happy.
Unfortunately, they are destined to be disappointed today.
"You are all Wang Er, Sanqian, and Wugu family members?"
Several people nodded directly, shouting, "Master, you must make the decision for us."
Wei Zheng really thought about not taking care of this matter himself, because it really makes people feel uncomfortable, but he can't do it, so he could only snort, "Did your family eat meat a few days ago?"
"What?" At this time, shouldn't Xing Tian, who was like an evil slave, be arrested and beaten to calm the public's anger? How can I ask this question?
However, as soon as this sentence was said, several families bowed their heads and kept talking because they ate it and could continue eating it. However, they didn’t expect that not only did they not eat it, but their heads were injured. Wouldn’t this betrayal of rice be lost if they steal chickens?
"I will know how you look. You must have eaten it, but do you know what those things are? Those things are stolen, and a plate of meat costs fifty cents. And those people from several of your families stole a large bucket, which was worth at least five cents. According to the Tang Dynasty's law, they should have been sent to three thousand miles, but the court thought that it was their first time doing such a thing, so they were lenient. In addition, the people in Songzhou no longer pursued you, so you escaped a disaster. You are not grateful to others, why did you come over and make trouble? Do you think the laws of the Tang Dynasty are useless to you?"
In any era, robbery is a serious crime. No matter what you rob, even ten yuan can be kept from you for ten years.
Seeing that they didn't say anything, Wei Zheng continued, "It's not easy for you. The people in Songzhou are out of humanitarianism and have given you some compensation. If you still struggle here, if you don't have money, you have to arrest them all."
Those people were stunned. There was such an operation. However, Wei Zheng ignored them and asked someone to raise the money and said, "You can do the specific division by yourself. I will not care about it. But after the money is over, you will all go home and live a good life. If you make trouble again, I will never tolerate it."
When those people heard this, they rushed to the bamboo basket. The money inside made them crazy. They had never seen so much money, dozens of stagnant, and so much money. Even some people watching the fun couldn't help but curse, these mud legs were actually a blessing in disguise. They would never get so much money for several lifetimes.
As a result, the two families started fighting. If there weren't someone around Wei Zheng, he wouldn't be able to protect him.
Later, with Wei Zheng's help, several families divided the money and put it directly on their clothes and planned to leave, but Xing Tian stopped him and said, "Slow."
"Xing Tian, what else do you have to say?" Wei Zheng asked with a frown. Now, it is better to turn big things into small things. You can't do it anymore. If you do it again, the so-called censors will have to come and impeach them again.
"People can leave, but do you think they can leave just like this?" Xing Tian asked coldly at the people.
"Why can't they leave?"
"Yes, yes, just come here to make trouble, and you have no loss."
"It seems that I plan to settle the score in the future. These rich people are all bad people, and these people have no life to spend money."
As more and more people were talking about it around, Wei Zheng asked with a bad look, "Xing Tian, today's matter is over, what else do you have to say?"
"You can leave, but if you don't clean the door of our house, even if I am arrested again today, I will break all of you." Xing Tian stared at the words Wei Zheng said, which made him ask angrily, "Why are you doing this?"
"Sir, please see for yourself." Xing Tian pointed to the door and said.
Wei Zheng looked along his fingers and almost vomited.
He has been here several times and knows the hygiene here. Ye Tan is famous for having a cleanliness obsession. Not to mention garbage on the steps here, there is even little dust, because the doorman cleanses every day, and they also put two garbage accesses at the door. Many wealthy families have lions and dogs at the door, but the garbage accesses they put is also a scene.
But at this time, there were no colored cloth heads, straw, weeds and soil, and even countless saliva and thick phlegm. Compared with the stone slabs on the ground, the feeling was really disgusting.
"If you don't want to clean up, you can leave your usual money and we will find someone to clean up."
