Chapter 618: Start assigning homework - arrest Ming Zunjiao
Kaifeng government office.
Ding Run hummed a little tune and greeted each of his colleagues with a smile. It wasn't until he came to the house where Wu Juhou was that he stopped smiling, adjusted his official robe, and walked in with a serious face.
An old man in purple robes knelt down in front of the desk and was reading documents. Ding Run came to him and knelt down in front of him. He didn't disturb him and just waited silently. His eyes were also observing the ups and downs of Shenzong's favorite minister.
.
Wu Juhou, a bachelor of Longtuge, was also the powerful magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture. He and the previous magistrate Fan Chunli belonged to two different factions and had two completely different styles of conduct.
Regarding Wu Juhou, a backbone of the old party and an important assistant of Sima Guang when he revised "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", he once said: "Wu Juhou practiced iron smelting in Jingdong, Wang Zijing practiced tea making in Fujian, and Jian Zhou Fu practiced salt
The law is in Jiangxi...the people on all roads are all sad and complaining, and they are confused in their thoughts."
If this is probably an attack by the old party on the new party, then Zhang Dun also said, "The reform of the service law can be postponed, unlike Jingdong Iron Horse and Fujian Tea Salt. If it is not changed for a day, there will be harm." The old party and the new party
If the party opposes it together, the possibility of it being true is extremely high.
In fact, Wu Juhou's Jingdong iron smelting method, Wang Zijing's Fujian tea method, and Jian Zhoufu's Jiangxi salt method provided important financial support for the continued border expansion strategy during Shenzong's reign, but the people were not suffering.
They were forced to have no way out, and the people's resentment was so boiling that they started to rebel again and again. So after Shenzong died, both the old and new parties thought that it could not continue any longer and immediately called it a halt.
The ministers who implemented these policies were all recognized as "pou-ke ministers" at the time. Pou-ke means amassing property through exorbitant taxes. Wu Juhou was a typical example. He expanded monopoly and strengthened expropriation, and was repeatedly criticized by the court.
Commendation.
In the eyes of the emperor, this man was an absolutely good official. "There is no better official in the internal and external financial management." Shenzong particularly liked him and specifically pointed out that even if Wu Juhou was at fault, the power to punish Wu Juhou was limited to the emperor himself.
On the other hand, those who criticize officials will be impeached by the public, "making profits and harming the people, and everyone is well aware of it."
"He is eager to collect profits, but he only wants to do what is enviable, so as to reward him for his merits." "Initiating iron smelting and other unjust actions to take advantage of the people, one side is full of resentment and makes the government and the public unhappy." It is believed that this person's harsh government has caused strong dissatisfaction among the people.
The fact is that at that time, there was a peasant uprising army of thousands of people in Jingdong. Their banner was to capture Wu Juhou and throw him into an iron-making furnace and burn him to death. In the end, even Zhang Dun, who had greatly admired Wu Juhou and was also a member of the New Party, could no longer stand it.
: "People in Jingdong hate to eat their meat. Is this statement true?"
Therefore, when Shenzong died, Wu Juhou became the first court official to be demoted. The reason was that he had "no public ambition." Compared with Shenzong's praise of him for "working day and night to serve the public," it must be said that it is quite ironic.
But when Zhezong came to power, Wu Juhou was promoted again. The people didn't like this kind of talent, but the emperor liked him too much. Later, his official career was prosperous, and it was not the first time, but the second time that he knew Kaifeng Mansion as a bachelor of Longtuge.
.
Therefore, Ding Run was much more cautious about this boss than Fan Chunli. Yesterday, he went to the academy to ask for his advice. He knew what he was doing before he sat down in front of him.
Just as he was thinking about it, Wu Juhou suddenly raised his head, his sharp eyes piercing Ding Run: "Judge Ding, has Zhu Wu, the suspect in the Taixue case, not been convicted yet?"
Ding Run was unhurried: "Although this person is suspected, there is currently no evidence to prove that he is related to the murder of seven imperial students. This case is currently paying attention to the government and the public. The subordinates dare not do it rashly to avoid being criticized by the censor."
Yan Guan accuses an innocent person of being wronged..."
Wu Juhou's pale brows slightly frowned: "Judge Ding's words are quite mature and prudent. Yushitai has a large number of jails, and many people are implicated. I, the Kaifeng Mansion Office, really can't give them any clues!"
Ding Run clasped his fists: "Wu Longtu is wise!"
Wu Juhou and the Yushitai have never dealt with each other. Now the Yushi Zhongcheng Zhao Tingzhi is extremely popular and is a popular candidate for the position of prime minister. Wu Juhou is also qualified to compete for the prime ministership. Even if they are both members of the New Party, the two sides are still in an antagonistic relationship.
Shitai is definitely a very wise approach.
However, Wu Juhou is not so easy to fool: "Although there is no evidence that Zhu Wu committed the crime, it has been proved that Chen Yu, the student who was wrongly sued and unfortunately killed, was a close friend from the same hometown. His motive is clear and he should be put in jail for trial. You brought him up.
Aren't you afraid of the censor's censure?"
Ding Run said in a low voice: "The lower official did not dare to hide anything from Wu Longtu. He brought Zhu Wu forward and followed the clues to find out the intention of finding the murderer behind him. This person is most likely related to the Mingzun Sect."
Wu Juhou's expression changed slightly: "Mingzunjiao? That cult that has been banned many times... are you sure?"
Ding Run spoke firmly: "It is absolutely true that Lu Shinang, a former student of Taixue, is a member of Mingzun's congregation, and several students who went out to Shezhou with him are also highly suspicious, and they were expelled from school because they discovered the fraud of Taixue.
"
Wu Juhou immediately felt something was wrong: "You were expelled from school after you discovered the fraud?"
Ding Run copied his reasoning: "Wu Longtu really knew everything. It took me a long time to think about it. Just ask, there was a major fraud case in Taixue twenty years ago. The consequences were serious and the lessons were profound. Once the fraud was discovered, the Imperial College officials would also
We should try our best to appease them, but in the end, all seven of them were expelled. There must be something fishy in this, and I suspect that someone from the Mingzun Cult is behind it, intentionally exacerbating the case and making the people in the capital boil with resentment!"
The corners of Wu Juhou's eyes twitched slightly. He knew very well what it was like to see public resentment boiling over. His expression became more fierce: "These evil cults are deceiving the public with their evil words and deceiving people's hearts. They should be killed!"
Ding Run thought to himself that if you people hadn't forced the people to suffer too much, sects like the Mingzun Sect and the Maitreya Sect would not have had room to survive. He superficially agreed: "What Wu Longtu said is true, so I made this arrangement out of fear."
The real culprit in this case is a member of this cult, but the Yushitai is still catching the teachers and students cheating, causing people to panic, and the relatives will hate it and the enemies will be happy!"
Wu Juhou stroked his beard and pondered, then nodded slowly: "What you said makes sense!"
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhu Wu is a little-known person. As the murderer of the Taixue case, the government and the public will not pay any attention to such a person. But if the murderer is known to the public,
Zunjiao Zhongren even more deliberately promoted this turmoil. Yushitai foolishly fell into the trap and lost face. On the contrary, their Kaifeng government office clearly understood the details and stole the limelight. This naturally made him compete for position.
Very beneficial.
Thinking of this, he was very impressed with Ding Run, but he did not express his position clearly: "I have not been in office for a long time, and I am not completely familiar with the affairs of the government office. Since Judge Ding has this idea, then do as you ask!"
This is to pass the responsibility completely. Of course, when there is real merit, he, the prefect, is indispensable. Ding Run showed no sign of gratitude from his subordinates. After walking out of the room, he showed disdain on his lips: "Oh, this one is much better than Fan Zhige."
So what? As Mr. Lin expected, he doesn’t seek the truth, but only seeks benefits. If he finds out the context, he can grasp it!"
In fact, after these days of investigation, it is basically a certain fact that Zhu Wu killed seven imperial students in order to avenge his close friends from his hometown, pretending to "submit orders", but this truth does not meet political needs, and Ding Run
I also felt that those people died well, so I tried a little bit and found that the blame was easily placed on Master Mingzun.
He clicked his tongue, asked his subordinates to prepare their horses, left the Kaifeng Mansion Office, and headed to the east of the city.
The crime can be transferred, but the murderer must be captured. If the Ming Zunjiao people are still unable to be caught, Zhu Wu will eventually be captured and given to the Imperial Academy.
So he came for reinforcements again.
When he arrived at the gate of the academy, he walked in briskly: "Master Lin, if he can take action, he will be absolutely safe. Then I will get the credit, Zhu Wu will get his revenge, and then I will kill the traitors of Ming Zunjiao. Everyone will be really happy!"
Not far after walking in, he saw a thin man sweeping the floor shivering. As soon as Ding Run approached, the man instantly put on a defensive posture.
Ding Run smiled and said: "It looks similar. I am Ding Run, the judge of Kaifeng Prefecture. Where is your Alang?"
Li Gu said in a daze: "I am Lu Langjun's housekeeper... The official is looking for my Alang... just go to the backyard..."
Ding Run nodded and looked at him strangely, how could such a young man be so vain?
Of course, this is Lu Junyi's butler. He doesn't mind his own business. He passed by the lecture room filled with books and came to the backyard.
From a distance, you can see Li Yan sitting high on the podium, and below him are men sitting upright on futons. Lu Junyi, Zhu Wu and others are all listening.
Ding Run went up to listen and found that Li Yan was talking about Ming Zunjiao:
"...Looking at sects such as Mingzunjiao, introduced from the West, they emphasize the idea of opposition, black and white. If you are a believer, you are brothers and sisters. If you are not a believer, you are a potential enemy, or you can extract value.
, or eliminate them directly.”
"If this core idea remains unchanged, no matter how much Buddhism and Taoism culture is incorporated, it will still be a cult and extremely harmful..."
Ding Run seemed to understand something, but he couldn't help but feel a little strange. It was difficult for him to understand it. For these guys who practiced martial arts all day long, they were probably playing the piano to others, right?
But when he changed his angle and observed the expressions of the students below, he was surprised to find that the eyes of these burly men were full of thinking and meditation, even Lu Junyi was like this!
At this time, Li Yan also stopped lecturing, turned his eyes, and said with a smile: "What do you do, Judge Ding?"
Ding Run stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: "Wu Longtu was persuaded by me and determined that among the murderers of the Taixue case, the suspicion of Ming Zunjiao has become greater. However, these thieves are cunning and have disappeared. I hope Mr. Lin can help me."
"
Li Yan nodded and turned his gaze back below: "It's all about talking and not practicing fake moves. This is true for both civil and military forces. Now you all have the experience of hard work and enlightenment. Next, you will use Mingzunjiao to accept the results. This is the first time I have given
