Qin Yu nodded slightly and said calmly: "Let them all come in."
He didn't expect that Lin Ruozhou's efficiency was quite high.
He just finished talking to Lin Ruozhou last night, and today the officials from Pingcheng came to apologize.
"Yes, Prince Consort." Li Su saluted and then left the house.
moment.
An official from Pingcheng, carrying a thorn stick on his back and holding a file in his hand, came towards Qin Yu.
Looking at Qin Yu lying on the rocking chair and Xiao Nan roasting a whole lamb.
These officials couldn't help but sigh. Those who knew clearly knew that they were coming to Hebei to carry out political reforms, but those who didn't know thought they were coming to Hebei for an outing.
The prince consort and the prince were playing around, so they were punished and allowed to plead guilty.
They have been officials for so many years, and they think they have a lot of tricks up their sleeves, but in front of the Prince Consort's face, they really don't look good enough.
Came to Qin Yu.
A group of officials carrying thorn sticks knelt on the ground and raised the files above their heads.
"The sinner, Pingcheng, is leaving Liu Rusheng to apologize to the Prince Consort."
"The guilty minister, Zhao Hongsheng, the chief official of Pingcheng, apologizes to the Prince Consort."
"The guilty minister, Pingcheng Sima Chencang, begs for mercy from the Prince Consort."
"The meritorious service of Sin City and Ping City..."
...
A famous official held up the file, then kowtowed heavily and confessed.
Qin Yu did not expect that they would also release Zhao Hongsheng. It seemed that they knew that their conspiracy could not be realized.
Although Pingcheng officials took the initiative to plead guilty, they were still somewhat unwilling to do so.
They thought Qin Yu was relying on his talent and arrogance and gave them a chance to take advantage of him.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yu didn't care about them at all, and used all kinds of methods such as finding scapegoats, colluding with confessions, and overturning the case.
They directly chose to take down Lin Ruozhou, the governor of Pingcheng.
The rest of them are self-defeating. They either come to Qin Yu to plead guilty and make meritorious deeds, or they have no other choice but to wait to die.
Even Lin Ruozhou gave in and cooperated. What the hell were they? They were just a bunch of low-ranking bastards.
Qin Yu stretched and sat upright.
Xiao Nan cut a leg of lamb and put it on the table in front of Qin Yu, "Brother-in-law, the leg of lamb is still hot after roasting. Eat it while it's hot."
Qin Yu nodded, then tore a piece of meat and ate it, "My lords, it has been sixteen days since I and the prince came to Pingcheng. In these sixteen days, how many plots and tricks have you prepared against me and the prince?
I know it in my heart.”
"You should understand why the prince and I did not go to war to arrest you, but instead practiced Tai Chi with you here."
"Young master, you don't need to read the file in your hands. There is no need to read it, because Lin Ruozhou is here to punish the Nine Clans for treason. You are all Lin Ruozhou's people, so I only need to convict you of treason."
The words fell into place.
The officials kneeling on the ground could not help but feel a chill in their hearts, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
They also understood what Qin Yu meant by going round and round.
It's not that Qin Yu can't arrest them, but he thinks the crime is too small and it's pointless to arrest them.
However, they did not open their mouths to defend themselves.
Lin Ruozhou has explained everything to them. Nowadays, everyone is a slave and I am a fish. They only need to cooperate with the Prince Consort's plan.
"Prince-in-law, please spare my life! Please give the guilty minister a chance to make meritorious service!"
"Yes, Prince Consort, the criminal was confused for a moment and definitely had no intention of going against Prince Consort!"
"The Prince Consort is in great numbers. We are willing to fully cooperate with the Prince Consort. We only hope that the Prince Consort can alleviate our sins."
...
All the officials kneeling on the ground began to kowtow, admit their mistakes, and beg for mercy.
Although Qin Yu wanted to take advantage of them, they had to say it themselves.
Qin Yu listened and nodded with satisfaction, "Since you adults have this idea, and I am not a murderous person, I can give you a chance to make meritorious deeds."
Xiao Nan sat aside, chewing mutton and drinking wine.
He now admires Qin Yu's approach more and more.
Although it took a long time, it was really done once and for all.
There was a pause.
Qin Yu glanced at the crowd and muttered: "You should take care of the charges in your hands. We will settle the general ledger in the future. Now your first task is to write down all the situations of your subordinates and their subordinates' subordinates. Which ones are
Those who were forced to accept bribes, and those who took the initiative to take bribes, must also report clearly to me."
"But you must remember that you must ensure the authenticity of the list and charges, otherwise I will send you directly to prison and treat you as a crime of treason."
The words fell into place.
All the officials kowtowed, "I remember, I remember my humble position."
As the saying goes, a dead Taoist friend will never die if he is a poor Taoist.
They don't know how to protect anyone now, and their crime is nothing compared to treason.
Qin Yu nodded slightly, "Okay, it's all gone."
All the officials were granted amnesty.
"Thank you, Prince Consort."
"The prince consort is benevolent and righteous, the prince consort is benevolent and righteous."
"Thank you Prince Consort for not killing me."
.......
The officials thanked him profusely and then left the palace as if they were running away.
See the officials leaving.
Xiao Nan reacted and looked at Qin Yu in amazement, "Brother-in-law, this trick is really amazing. You caught the big fish Lin Ruozhou, and then Lin Ruozhou vomited these small fish who were at the level of Pingcheng officials in order to protect themselves.
Come out. In order to protect themselves, these little fish spit out the shrimps at the county magistrate level."
"In other words, we have effortlessly controlled the black and white of the entire Hebei official system, and exposed all the good and bad officials to our sight?"
The more Xiao Nan thought about it, the more frightened he became. He picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp to suppress his shock.
He didn't expect that Qin Yu would play such a big game of chess one by one.
Li Su and Sun Hongyuan on the side couldn't help but marveled after hearing this.
It turned out that every step the prince-in-law took was planned in advance.
Qin Yu listened and looked at Xiao Nan with admiration, "Okay, Your Highness, you can even see my routine clearly now."
Listening to Qin Yu's praise.
Xiao Nan laughed and said: "Haha...I...did I guess it right?"
Qin Yu nodded, "That's absolutely correct. Remember my words, my sincere persuasion and my sincere words. I will never throw evidence of guilt in their face and force him to submit."
"Everyone has a sense of luck. If you don't throw the evidence in his face and let them know that they have no way out, who will cooperate with you? We just need to grasp their weaknesses and get twice the result with half the effort."
"We came to Hebei to carry out political reform, not relying on emotions, but relying on skill. The most terrifying thing in this world than ghosts and gods is the human heart."
Listen to Qin Yu's words.
Xiao Nan nodded thoughtfully, "Brother-in-law is right."
