Seeing that he had made up his mind, Da Tou stopped talking and winked at Yang Kai. The two of them walked out quickly, and together with Shi Xuanming, led the policemen from their headquarters to go to Jeju to get the person from the memorial hall.
Not long after Datou and others left, the policeman who had been sent to pick up his daughter-in-law Zhang Lin returned with the help of Zhang Lin, who had a sallow complexion and a big belly.
After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law met, they hugged each other and cried again. The two women rushed all the way from Jeju to Chang'an to file a petition. One can imagine how many hardships and obstacles they endured along the way.
After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's emotions stabilized, they asked for some details again, and then instructed Yu and the two of them to go down and rest.
After the three people left, they frowned and paced back and forth from the hall. At the same time, they considered in their minds how to deal with these officials in Jeju. The government should be an upright existence in the hearts of the people. It must uphold justice and uphold justice.
To be benevolent, we must also have the majesty to enforce the law and punish sins.
As a court official, if he cannot enforce the law impartially, impartially and strictly, the people will be disheartened, the authority of the government will be questioned, and in the long run, people will lose their support. Ultimately, the civil customs of the entire Tang Dynasty will be damaged.
The morals must not be bad. Whether it is the folk customs or the officialdom, they must be clean and upright. As the saying goes, to control troubled times, use heavy codes, directly attack a group of officials in Jeju and kill them to set an example. The final treatment
As a result, it will be spread to all major states, prefectures and counties across the country, so that local officials will have awe of the imperial court, and the people of Li will have renewed confidence in the imperial court.
The emperor also knew that the eunuch party had corrupted the government by taking advantage of the power, so he was asked to take charge of Yushitai just to let him rectify the government. However, there was no need to report this matter to the emperor in advance. He could just cut it off first and then report it. He would rather be accused of violating the regulations afterwards.
We can't throw this hot potato to the emperor. To put it bluntly, he has to be the bad guy who kills people, and the image of the unknowing good guy has to be left to the emperor.
Halfway through the second watch, Datou and others returned, together with high-ranking officials and low-ranking officers, a total of twenty-seven people, all of whom were escorted back.
They interrogated overnight and locked up the evidence. What happened was actually not complicated. Jeju informed the Jinzouyuan in advance that two women, Zhang Wang and Zhang Lin, one old and one young, were going to Beijing to file a complaint.
Spies were placed at the entrances of major government offices where they might go to try to prevent them from filing a petition to redress their grievances.
He is not a good person, and the Yushitai interrogates prisoners and does not object to the use of severe punishments. How could these officials endure it?
The court is also responsible for inquiring into the court's news and winning over
The task of bribing court officials.
Before the next update, everyone's confessions were placed on the desk. I picked them up one by one and looked through them one by one. From time to time, I looked up at Da Tou who was sitting on the chair in the hall. Da Tou was very smart and found that he had really moved.
Angry, the interrogation focused on the relationship between Jeju Jinjoyuan and the Eunuch Party. These local Jinjoyuan in the capital were originally the link between local officials and court officials. It is conceivable that they must also have contacts with the Eunuch Party.
Having contacts with the eunuchs is a way to die, even if they are sentenced to execution, it will not be an injustice to them.
The law is dead, but the people who apply it are alive. As the official in charge of Yushitai, he has great flexibility and scale in applying the law, but this time he did not hesitate at all.
All seventeen people planned to be executed, and the three guards captured earlier were no exception, and they were also executed.
Datou guessed that there would be a harsh sentence, but he did not expect that he would kill everyone and leave no one behind.
He rushed to Yang Kai who was sitting in the hall and said, "We have to report what happened in Chang'an. You will report this matter to the court in the morning."
After Yang Kai nodded, he added, "Rectifying officialdom is not an empty talk. Let's go to Jeju to kill the chickens and scare the monkeys. I will go to Jeju in person early tomorrow morning. Datou, Yu Yi, you go with me."
Big head and Yu Yitou should be.
Then he looked at Shi Xuanming and said, "Master, do you want to go out with us?"
Hearing the words, Shi Xuanming did not answer immediately. Seeing his hesitation, the worry in his heart increased a little. It seemed that Shi Xuanming had been distracted by a certain woman in Anxiang Building.
Seeing that Shi Xuanming didn't want to go with him, he didn't force him, "Well, you'd better not go. Stay with the police from the headquarters and the people from the household department to check the records of Jeju Jinzouyuan. There is still not enough time before dawn.
In two hours, go back and rest for a while, then set off at three quarters, taking fifty agents with you."
Everyone retreated and went to the backyard alone. He was not in a hurry to go back to the main room in the north, but went to the west wing first.
Looking at Mr. Hei lying in the haystack, I felt so at ease. Maybe it was because he had been with Lao Huang day and night for many years. He had a certain affection for these dumb animals.
Inexplicable closeness and trust.
I stayed with Mr. Hei in the stables of the west wing for a while, and then returned to the house to take a nap. At around 12:00, Da Tou came to knock on the door. He first brought him hot water, and then brought him food while he was washing his face.
.
I'm still not used to Da Tou taking such thorough care of me, but I've told him many times before, but Da Tou just doesn't listen, and I have no choice but to let him.
However, the human heart is made of flesh, and the better the head pair is, the greater the pressure in the heart, because he knows that the meridians of the head are damaged and the life expectancy will end in two years, but Qianjinyi Fangli does not have the right prescription, so he
The Heavenly Silkworm Magic Technique has also been considered, but it does not seem to be applicable to Datou's situation.
After packing up, everyone set off, with Datou and Yu Yi riding in front, followed by fifty police officers from the Yushitai. In addition, there was a carriage with two horses and a shaft, and Ku Zhuang was pulled in the carriage.
Wang and Zhang Lin.
Hei Gongzi had traveled long distances before, but this time he was reluctant to rush his horse too fast. In addition, there were a group of fastmen accompanying him, so he couldn't run too fast. Jeju is located in the southeast of Chang'an, about 1,500 miles away from Chang'an.
, according to the current speed, it will take about three to four days on the road.
After arriving in Chang'an, I made two long journeys. One was to Hejian to rescue Li Zhongyong, and the other was to Qingyang to rescue Batulu. Both times, I was anxious and came and went in a hurry. This trip was more complicated than the previous one.
It was much more relaxed the second time. What I went to Jeju to deal with this time was not an urgent matter. I just took this opportunity to get some fresh air and observe the people's sentiments, so as not to stay in Chang'an for a long time, lose grounding and lose objectivity.
The situation near Chang'an is a little better. After traveling a few hundred miles, the things you see along the way are mostly desolate and dilapidated. You can also see hungry people on the road from time to time, but fortunately there are not many in number.
Most of the porridge stations for victims of disasters are located outside the city. On the way, you can see many porridge stations where government officials provide porridge. The porridge stations usually give out porridge twice a day, and each time is two taels, which is a wooden spoon.
He had never felt how powerful he was, but the conditions in the porridges he saw along the way made him deeply touched. The disaster relief funds in these prefectures, counties, and counties were all allocated and distributed in amounts that he had previously determined. Where did he give them?
The more money allocated by the prefecture and county, the thicker the porridge and rice in the rice bowls of the victims will be.
The lives and deaths of so many people were in his hands alone, which made him feel unprecedented pressure.
Whether it is a chivalrous man, a miracle doctor who cures diseases with hanging pot, or a monk who talks earnestly and guides people to do good, the things they can do are insignificant compared with those of first-class officials. If you really want to do great things and do great good, you still have to be in a high position.
Just fine.
A doctor who has been busy for a long time may save one person, and a decision by a high-ranking official may save thousands of people. But the opposite is also true. A doctor's mistake will only kill one person, and if a high-ranking official makes a decision
Making the wrong decision could kill a large number of people.
Most of the time, I ran in front with Da Tou and Yu Yi, and the policeman and the carriage followed ten miles away. When I encountered a porridge place, I would dismount and go over to inspect the porridge soup. The servant in charge of the porridge soup could also supervise the porridge soup.
All the officials were very polite to him and did not scold or chase him away.
It's not that these officials are humble and friendly, or that they knew in advance that the others would pass by here, but that they are all people who have been involved in official circles and are well-informed. They can tell that he is not an ordinary person based on his calm demeanor.
wait.
Anyone who is in a high position will definitely act with confidence and calmness. Whether they are modest, courteous or approachable, they may be arrogant or pretend to be sophisticated. You can pretend to be confident and calm, but you cannot pretend to be confident and calm.
, when you are not at that position and height, no matter how much you pretend to be, your words and deeds are still deliberate and awkward.
Because there were too many people, we could only stay at the inn at night. The inn was right next to the porridge shop. The victims outside were eating gruel, but the inn prepared all kinds of meat and vegetables.
There is no need to criticize the postmen in order to highlight their own nobility, because the imperial court has clear regulations that when a first-class official travels and stays at the post station, he should have at least four meats and four vegetables plus four snacks and four fruits.
In order to show his approachability, he did not give meals to the victims outside. After eating with Datou and Yu Yi, he instructed the postman to give the remaining meals to the elderly and weak among the victims.
Doing good deeds is not about trivial matters. Doing good deeds is not done for others to see, let alone to gain fame by grandstanding.
Since I had not slept well in the past few days, I went to bed at the second watch and fell asleep quickly after lying down.
I don’t know how much time passed, but I suddenly heard shouts and shouts from people outside the inn. The voices were noisy and panicked, "Ah, tail, tail."
"She's not a human being, she's not a human being."
