Chapter 0412 When it’s time to break, it’s time to break
Who knows that God will not follow people's wishes? Just as Tian was thinking this, Jiang Wanli said to Zhao Yun: "Your Majesty, I interrogated He Cheng's family and learned that He Cheng's righteous daughter Cui was actually his concubine Tian in disguise.
This Tian family is guilty of deceiving the emperor, please let your majesty tell you clearly."
Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, then turned his head, looked at Tian, and asked, "Is this true?"
When Tian met Zhao Yun's gaze, her feet became weak and she immediately fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the daughter of the people has been wronged."
"If you have any grievances, just say it and I will make the decision for you."
"People's daughter,,,people's daughter,,,"
Tian stammered and was very nervous, "The civilian girl was actually forced by He Cheng to take her as a concubine. He forced all of this."
Zhao Yun looked at her seriously and said: "Then you approach me as his adopted daughter. Is this forced by him? I think you seem to be very willing."
"This, this, this,,, this is also what he forced me to do. Even if a girl has a hundred courages, she would not dare to deceive your majesty. I would like to ask your majesty to tell you clearly."
Zhao Yun waved his hand and said: "You don't need to tell me. I have my own thoughts on whether it is true or false. You and He Cheng are criminals who deceived the emperor. They should confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans. But because we had a night of love between you and me, I will just kill them this time."
You alone are not as guilty as your family members. If anyone comes, drag them down and be executed together with Zhang Sui, He Cheng and others one day."
Tian was so frightened that she wanted to crawl to hug Zhao Yun's trouser legs, but the guards held her tightly and prevented her from moving.
Mrs. Tian cried: "Your Majesty, you and I were inseparable yesterday and enjoyed the pleasures of wine and meat, but I didn't expect that your Majesty would kill me today. Your Majesty, you can't be so ruthless."
Zhao Yun looked at Mr. Tian seriously and said: "I just said that you conspired with He Cheng and committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. You should confiscate your family and exterminate your clan. If you cut it off with a knife, you will be decapitated.
Now I will only kill you and not offend any relatives. This is because I am thinking about my old relationship. Aren't you satisfied yet and want to force me to kill your family as well?"
Mrs. Tian still refused to give up, and cried and begged: "Your Majesty, please spare me, spare me. I dare not do it anymore. I will definitely serve Your Majesty well."
"Pull it down."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The guards forcibly pulled Tian down and sent her to prison.
Jiang Wanli on the other side couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw that Zhao Yun executed Tian so neatly and without the kindness of a woman.
Before coming, he was also worried, worried that Zhao Yun would not be willing to kill Tian because of his favor and trust in her.
If this is true, I am afraid that the story of Lu Buwei and Zhao Ji will repeat itself in the Song Dynasty in the future, which will really bring disaster to the world.
Because Zhang Sui and He Cheng colluded, Zhao Yun personally handed over the case and demanded that it be handled strictly and quickly. Therefore, Zhang Sui, He Cheng, He Gui, Tian and others were quickly beheaded in public, their property was also confiscated, and their families
Also exiled.
When the people heard this, they all clapped their hands and cheered. On the day of the execution, even if it rained heavily, many people came to watch.
Everyone stood in the rain and cheered loudly, shouting "Long live the Song Dynasty, long live His Majesty the Emperor". The voice resounded through the sky. Even Zhao Yun was far away in the county government office, and he could hear it clearly.
I thought that my temporary stay in Teng County was just a temporary move, but I didn't expect that the rain would not stop, and it continued for seven days without stopping.
Li Cang, the envoy of Guangnan West Road, Luo Xing, the magistrate of Wuzhou, and others also came to see him one by one. Zhao Yun asked them all with concern, and his courtesy and corporal attitude was touching.
However, on the other hand, as the rain continues, the flood control section of the Xijiang River in Wuzhou is also facing tremendous pressure.
Luo Xing, the magistrate of Wuzhou, frowned and said to Zhao Yun: "Your Majesty, the flood control pressure in Xijiang River is increasing day by day. I would like to ask Your Majesty to move to a safe area as soon as possible to ensure safety."
The Xijiang River originates from the Maxiong Mountain in Qujing, Yunnan, flows through Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, and finally reaches Guangdong and forms the Pearl River Delta together with the Beijiang Dongjiang River. This river flows through many places and is the river of life in many places along the way.
However, if this river of life is not controlled, it will often kill people.
At this time, it rained heavily for seven consecutive days. The water in the Xijiang River was getting bigger and bigger. The prefectures and counties along the way had begun to organize manpower to rescue and fight the flood.
However, facing the surging river, everyone was frightened. If the embankment really burst, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even if Zhao Yun was in the county seat, it was still difficult to guarantee safety.
Faced with good advice and advice, Zhao Yun was unmoved at all. He said: "It doesn't matter. I have lived in the temple for a long time. I can only listen to everything the officials say, but I cannot see it, let alone experience it personally. Today I am here
Here, you can just experience how the Qing family handles flood prevention and protects the people."
After Zhao Yun said this, Luo Xing had no choice but to be on full alert and personally participate in flood prevention.
Originally, he only needed to explain this kind of thing, and someone would take care of it, so he didn't need to worry about it.
However, Zhao Yun is here at this time. If he, as the magistrate of the state, does not show up personally, I am afraid that he will be charged with perfunctory dereliction of duty.
Heavy rain poured down, inundating countless fertile fields. Continuous heavy rains occurred in Wuzhou, Fengzhou, Tengzhou, Rongzhou and other places. The country was flooded for thousands of miles at a time. Houses collapsed severely and people were displaced. The situation became more and more serious.
Seeing the situation developing like this, Zhao Yun could not sit still. He ordered all states and counties to do their best to rescue the victims, and at the very least ensure that the victims did not freeze to death or starve to death.
Because Zhao Yun was in Teng County and was always paying attention to the disaster situation, people from the various government offices did not dare to neglect, and they were very enthusiastic in dealing with the disaster, for fear that Zhao Yun would punish him if he did not do well.
There is no other way. Who dares to deal with it now that the emperor is at his feet? Who dares to cause public resentment?
The merchants also showed their enthusiasm and took the initiative to set up porridge shacks to provide porridge. Some large households even mobilized their family members and servants to donate excess clothes and bedding to the victims.
The enthusiasm of the government and merchants naturally brought the disaster under control, and the emotions of the affected people were calmed, without inciting civil unrest.
However, being too enthusiastic will have the opposite effect. In many counties, there are no people affected by the disaster. They have nothing to do, so they pretend to be victims and receive porridge, bedding, and clothes.
For these people, they get it for free anyway, and what they receive is earned.
Although some people in the state capital have discovered clues about this situation, it is quite a headache because there are too many people and it is difficult to select their identities.
Luo Xing, the magistrate of the state, complained in front of Zhao Yun and said: "Many people are greedy for small profits and pretend to be disaster victims to receive relief, which consumes a lot of money and food. I originally wanted to screen them one by one, but it is too difficult, consumes manpower and material resources, and easily delays the victims.
It may cause resentment among the people, so I have no choice but to let it go. If I don’t do things well, I ask Your Majesty to punish me."
