Li Chengqian's words scolded all the officials present so much that they didn't even dare to raise their heads.
If we talk about city construction, the imperial court gave one million copper coins, and they gave 100,000 to various officials as hard money.
That's nothing.
Just get the job done.
But this money was paid for by someone else's life, yet they still want to be greedy.
Li Chengqian is really intolerable to some people.
He slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Wu Dazhao!"??
I heard him call my name.
Wu Dazhao immediately knelt on the ground.
He looked at Li Chengqian with fear on his face and said: "Your Highness, please spare your life, Your Highness..."
"Spare your life?"
"If I spare your life, wouldn't I be harming other people?"
Li Chengqian raised his head and said: "This person took bribes, violated the law, and even embezzled the pensions of the martyrs and military families to enrich his own pockets."
"The evidence is sufficient. Now, as the eldest prince of the Tang Dynasty and the prince of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, I will deprive you of all your official achievements."
After hearing this, Wu Dazhao's face turned ashen.
He said: "Your Highness, I am loyal to the Tang Dynasty. I have fought hard all my life without merit. You can't do this..."
"Yes, I can't do this."
"But there is God above, and there are people below watching."
Li Chengqian raised his head and said: "Cheng Hualiang!"
"My subordinate is here!"
Cheng Huailiang should have intervened.
Li Chengqian said: "Take this person into custody and send him to Chang'an on a certain date, and hand him over to Dali Temple for disposal."
"As you command!"
Cheng Huailiang stepped forward, grabbed Wu Dazhao, and dragged him directly out of the courtroom.
Seeing this scene, the officials present looked at each other, and no one dared to say anything.
"I know."
"Wu Dazhao is not the only one to do this kind of thing."
"Among the people present, there are quite a few who have done this."
"Those who take the initiative to plead guilty and return the embezzled finances will receive a lighter sentence."
Li Chengqian looked at everyone and said, "But if I find out, I will never care about it." How strong your backstage is and how powerful your power is."
After saying that, Li Chengqian stood up.
He said: "During this period, I will stay in Liangzhou Prefecture."
"If you have anything to say to me, come and see me here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chengqian walked away without giving anyone a chance to speak.
At this time, everyone was a little confused.
Everyone came up to Zheng Kuan and looked at him eagerly.
Zheng Kuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Why are you looking at me? Why don't you hurry up and find your own evidence?"
At this moment, everyone suddenly realized and dispersed like birds and beasts.
…
Shifu.
After Liangzhou County Magistrate Shi Minfu returned from court.
He was always sighing and sighing. One moment he said it was all over, and the other moment he said he was going to die.
When his wife saw his appearance, she couldn't help but said: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
"What can happen?"
"It's not the King of Qin who caused the trouble."
"As soon as I came to Liangzhou, there was a wave of purge."
"Today, Wu Dazhao hit the tip of a spear and asked King Qin to do it."
Shi Minfu shook his head and sighed: "I really don't know how many more days I can hold on..."
Although I have never gotten along with Li Chengqian before.
But Shi Minfu also knew how powerful Li Chengqian was.
If this guy wants to attack someone, the other party will definitely not be able to escape.
Shi Minfu sighed again and said: "Madam, listen to me, take the children to your parents' house to hide, and come back after the storm has passed."
"I don't."
"What can King Qin do to me?"
The lady said with a stubborn look: "Besides, what does he dare to do to me?"
Shi Minfu's wife is also the legitimate daughter of the Liu family in Liangzhou.
The Liu family is one of the best families in Liangzhou
, there are not many people in Liangzhou who can match their influence.
But after hearing his wife's words, Shi Minfu became even more worried.
He looked straight at his wife and said, "My silly madam, have you forgotten that King Qin has always looked down on the noble family?"
"How are those aristocratic families in Yangzhou?"
"What about the five surnames of the Tang Dynasty?"
"Has one of them taken advantage of him?"
"So, you should leave quickly. I will clean up tomorrow and see if there are any mistakes."
Shi Minfu said with a look of despair: "When the limelight has passed, I will have someone pick you up."
I heard what my husband said.
Shi Liu pursed her lips and said, "Master, the King of Qin is not short of money or women?" ??
"Um?"
Shi Minfu raised his eyebrows and looked at his wife and said, "What do you mean? Do you want me to bribe King Qin?"
"Don't be stupid, okay?"
"The King of Qin is the eldest prince and the first heir to the Tang Dynasty."
"The entire Tang Dynasty belongs to him, and you actually want to bribe him?"
Shi Minfu really didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a moment.
My wife would actually have such a stupid and pig-like idea.
But after saying this.
Shi Minfu suddenly paused.
He said: "However, this is not impossible..."
Shi Minfu narrowed his eyes, and then said: "No, I have to go to the government office."
With that said, he quickly stood up and ran outside.
…
Within the government office.
Look at the dazzling array of jewelry displayed in front of you and the beautiful girls around you.
Li Chengqian was a little stunned.
These people's heads were all caught in the door.
Or got kicked by a donkey?
Can you think of bribing yourself?
At this time, Cheng Hualiang walked by Come.
He held a small notebook in his hand and said: "Your Highness, the magistrate of Wuqing County has sent you eighty pieces of silk, three boxes of jewelry, and two Meijuan..."
He glanced at Li Chengqian and said, "Do you want to accept it?"
"receive."
"Why not accept it?"
Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said, "As long as these people dare to give away, I will accept them."
With that said, Li Chengqian stood up and walked to a box filled with jewelry.
Opening the box, the golden light inside was dazzling.
Li Chengqian casually grabbed a handful of gold cakes.
He said: "Keep good accounts, remember everything for me, don't make any mistakes."
"You have to send it back to my father whenever you turn around."
"Let's also let him take a good look at how wealthy Longyou Road is."
Hearing this, Cheng Huailiang was also filled with indignation.
He said in a cold voice: "There are many people in Longyou Road who have no food to eat, but these guys are so corrupt, they are so corrupt."
"Official."
"It's the same everywhere."
"However, this further proves that it is meaningful for me to come here."
Li Chengqian shook his head and sighed.
This Liangzhou was indeed more complicated than he imagined.
"That's right Huai Liang."
"Tomorrow, ask someone to take my belt and go to a birch forest eighty miles north of Liangzhou City."
"There is a man named Wu Yougou there. Tell him that I, Li Chengqian, will need these people now, and ask them to come to Liangzhou for me without stopping."
Li Chengqian narrowed his eyes and said, "The speed must be fast. I have a feeling that something will happen soon."
Hearing this, Cheng Hualiang was stunned for a moment.
He immediately said: "Your Highness, what you mean is..."
"Yangzhou."
Li Chengqian only said two words.
But it scared Cheng Huailiang to the point of breaking into a cold sweat.
He hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I will make arrangements right away..."
