Li Er had nothing to do with Wang Gui's sacrifice of his car to protect his commander, and he had no choice but to retreat in order to advance. He couldn't end it himself, right? He didn't say anything, and looked at Qin Huaidao with eyes full of expectation.
Qin Huaidao secretly praised the old fox for his slippery hands. He was really powerful. He also knew that this matter alone could not bring down the Wang family, but it did not hinder the obstruction. He immediately said: "Master Wang is clear about right and wrong. I have nothing to say, so let's talk first."
Let’s talk about compensation, and then talk about other things.”
"That's fine!" Wang Gui said calmly, secretly alert.
Qin Huaidao looked at Li Jing, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong, and asked loudly: "Wei Guogong, Lu Guogong, Wu Guogong, and all the ministers, Wang Hu, a member of the Wang family, built a dam to block the water. The tenants came forward to argue with bare hands. There is nothing."
With the intention of provoking a dispute, Wang Hu and others suddenly revealed their weapons. They were obviously well prepared. This was a deliberate provocation of disputes, intentional killing, the intention to cut off the water source of the people downstream, the intention to provoke public anger, and the intention to cause trouble to the Tang Dynasty. Wang Hu should
What do you think of being punished as a crime of rebellion?"
Four people in a row deliberately nailed Wang Hu to death.
"Hiss, cruel, really cruel!"
Everyone's face twitched, and they secretly warned themselves not to provoke this guy in the future.
Wang Gui's eyes were cold. If this crime was proven, the nine tribes implicated would have to stand up and speak: "Your Majesty, Wang Hu just built a dam and did not intentionally block the water. His actions were indeed sinful, but he did not commit treason. Fortunately, he was discovered early.
, it has not caused any real harm, please see it carefully, Your Majesty."
Everyone is a smart person, and of course they know that Wang Hu is not treasonous, but Qin Huaidao's words are conclusive and cannot be refuted. If the supervisory censor did not accuse Qin Huaidao of guilt just now, the Wang family can still fool him. The problem is that Li Er has already convicted Qin Huaidao.
When it comes to punishment, the emperor has a constitution and his words follow the law. How can it be changed?
The Wang family was lifting a rock, but it was hurting themselves in the foot.
No one thought that this was just Qin Huaidao paving the way for a sky-high price. Faced with Li Er's burning eyes, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, Wang Hu's actions are not treasonous, but there are treasonous intentions, and they should be severely punished. Your Majesty,
How to punish Wei Chen? He dare not interfere, but the losses caused to Wei Chen must be compensated."
"Chao Yilang, you also built a dam to block the water. Wang Hu has the intention of treason, and you also have it." Wang Gui said coldly, they are going to die together.
Qin Huaidao was well prepared and said with a sneer: "Sir Wang, I am not building a dam to hold back water, but building a dam to store water. There is no water coming down from the upstream, so we can only store water. Once the downstream needs it, we can open the gate and release the water. How can we not store water?"
Release the floodgates when the water comes?"
A word for "block" and a word for "store" are worlds apart!
"Yes, building a dam to store water and sacrificing one thousand acres of fertile land to benefit the downstream side is a good deed." Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty, I beg you to rehabilitate Yilang and cut off the water upstream.
Chao Yilang had to dig deep into the paddy fields and build dams with soil to store water. This is common sense."
"Wei Chen also seconded the proposal!"
Qin Qiong's reputation and connections in the military were so high that many generals were honored.
Li Er saw that Qin Huaidao was indeed unreasonable and could stir up trouble. He was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was tense: "What Chao Yilang said is reasonable, but I was wronged. The previous punishment was cancelled, and the supervisory censor falsely accused Chao Yilang. Is there anything wrong?"
It is a mistake to make false accusations that he has behaved inappropriately in front of the emperor, which is even more unreasonable. The crime will be increased to the next level, and he will be dismissed from his official position and will never be used again."
"My Holy Emperor!"
The general Xungui shouted excitedly, as if he had won the battle.
The civil servants' faces were solemn, especially those of the Wang family, and they all looked at Wang Gui, but Wang Gui was worried about Wang Hu, and jumping out would only irritate Li Er, which would be detrimental to the Wang family, so he held back.
When the supervisory censor saw that Wang Gui was not coming forward, his face turned pale. He knew that he was finished and had been abandoned, but he did not dare to resist, fearing that Li Er would be angry and beat him up and imprison him. If he continued to investigate, his life would be in danger.
Seeing that Wang Gui could hold back, Li Er snorted with disdain and took down the annoying supervisory censor in one fell swoop. He was in a great mood and looked forward to Qin Huaidao more and more. He asked, "Chao Yilang, do you have anything else to say?"
Qin Huaidao looked at Wang Gui: "Sir Wang, the Wang family deliberately killed nine people, and dozens of others were seriously injured and difficult to treat. How do the Wang family explain this matter? Those are veterans who have shed blood for the Tang Dynasty. If you are not satisfied with the explanation, I will not
Do you mind telling the world, letting everyone know about the evil deeds of the Wang family, and sue the Wang family for rebellion."
A naked threat!
Anyway, I have already offended, so there is no need to be polite.
The biggest reason why the Five Surnames and Qi Wangs survived was their prestige. Once the prestige was gone, everyone would rebel, the fields would be empty, and there would be no one to do anything. In addition, other aristocratic families would take the opportunity to secretly cause trouble, and it would not take long for the wall to fall and everyone to push against it.
The thousand-year-old family will collapse.
In the face of family interests, everything can be given up, including himself, let alone Wang Hu, a side house. Wang Gui knew that it would be difficult to escape without giving an explanation. He wrote down his hatred, quickly adjusted his emotions, and said seriously: "Chao Yilang is right, those
The veterans who shed their blood for the Tang Dynasty cannot die in vain, and I am willing to pay heavy compensation."
Qin Huaidao waited until he said this, Wang Hu can't move the Wang family at all, and he won't get any benefits if he continues the quarrel. He will only benefit Li Er, the master who is waiting to pick up the leak. Supervising the censor is the proof. He was just vindicated when he was wronged.
, without any compensation at all, he immediately said: "Sir Wang, I am not a troublesome person. Each person has one thousand taels of silver, and there are sixty-five people in total. Not many, right?"
Sixty-five people equals sixty-five thousand taels, a huge amount of wealth that many wealthy businessmen will never earn in their lifetime.
But for the thousand-year-old Wang family, it's just a drop in the bucket. Wang Gui didn't want to cause trouble, so he immediately said: "Okay, I will send someone to your house after the next court."
"Master Wang is so generous!"
Qin Huaidao praised deliberately, but was secretly alert in his heart. This guy is cruel enough and can endure it. He must be more careful in the future. He immediately said to Li Er: "Your Majesty, the Wang family has made compensation for Wang Hu's intentional murder. Your Majesty doesn't care how he handles the lowly ministers.
Wei Chen will not pursue the case any further. Next, Wei Chen will talk about the Chang'an County Magistrate."
"Say!" Li Er was a little unhappy, and he was ready to peel off a layer of skin from the Wang family. This kid got an advantage and actually gave up. It's so disgusting.
"Your Majesty, the magistrate of Chang'an County, in order to protect his tribe, abused his power for personal gain, acted as a cover-up, and tortured three veterans to death, and dozens of others were seriously injured.
The suspicion can be punished,"
The whole place was in an uproar.
Forming cliques is a taboo in the DPRK. Everyone was shocked by Qin Huaidao's ability to criticize him. This guy really shouldn't be messed with.
Li Er was also surprised. This crime was a bit serious. He quickly looked at Li Jing.
Li Jing was also startled. If there really was a clique, no one from the Punishment Department could even think of running away. He looked at Qin Huaidao with a grimace: "My nephew, it is true that the Punishment Department has not noticed. Forming a clique... is too much?"
"Whether it is a clique or not, it will be clear after an investigation. Those who are clean will self-cleanse! If it is not a clique, why does no one stand up and say a fair word, let the case be closed, and the victim will be thrown into a prison to be convicted?" Qin Huaidao said nonchalantly?
, looking at Li Er on the stage with some disdain - I want an excuse, but I don’t dare to accept it from you, I’m so cowardly!
At this time, Cheng Yaojin jumped out and said: "Yes, you will know after checking it. The pharmacist does not need to worry too much."
Yuchi Gong also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I also think it would be good to investigate. Chao Yilang is right, those who are pure will self-purify. Under the emperor's feet, so many veterans have been wronged, and millions of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty are watching.
.”
These words are suspected of forcing the palace.
But Yu Chigong has a straightforward personality and will say whatever he feels unhappy, not caring about the consequences at all.
