"Damn it! If nothing else goes wrong, that kind of flower should be the same one that His Royal Highness checked earlier. Damn it! This thing is harmful to others and ourselves!"
Shen Fengyun gritted his teeth and said.
Because of the planting of those flowers, the fields in Kaifeng Prefecture have not yet resumed cultivation. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also said that it will be difficult for Kaifeng Prefecture to return to fertile land in the next ten years!
This is something that has affected a place for ten years!
"Sir, let's rush into the county government office now and execute Liu Jie on the spot!"
Jin Yiwei said coldly.
"Haha! This matter is extremely difficult to handle. I'm afraid Liu Jie is not the only one involved in this matter. All the landlords, gentry, and even officials in the city are involved."
"If you pull one hair, your whole body will move!"
Shen Fengyun said in a deep voice, he knew how difficult this case was to handle.
"Sir, the disaster here is so serious. If Liu Jie knew about it and failed to report it, it would be a capital crime!"
One person said.
"Haha! Do we have evidence?
How can you be sure that Liu Jie knew about it?
He could have brought out a scapegoat, but he was also deceived in this matter!"
"When the time comes, the most we can do is punish him with a crime of dereliction of duty, which will not lead to death. Moreover, if he is punished with a crime of dereliction of duty, his punishment is really too light!"
Shen Fengyun said with a sneer.
This Liu Jie was very cautious in his work. After planting the flowers in the first year, he stopped planting them. He must have seen the dangers of these flowers.
In other words, those people turned their target to Kaifeng Mansion and abandoned his place. Therefore, Liu Jie did not let the people plant it.
However, as a parent official, you know that the people you have harmed cannot survive, and you continue to make mistakes again and again. This kind of crime is unforgivable.
"This...then there's nothing we can do against him?"
Jin Yiwei said in a deep voice.
"Hmph! There is no one in this world that our Jin Yiwei cannot take down. Now that there is no evidence, we will go look for them and dig them out!"
Shen Fengyun said coldly.
"Yes! Sir!"
The Jin Yiwei all had sneers on their faces and were very confident about what they were going to do next.
"Common people, now that you have a house and food, live a good life. Remember not to give up and continue to cultivate the land!"
"I will ask His Highness the Crown Prince to exempt you from part of your taxes!"
Shen Fengyun said to the victims.
"Thank you, Master Shen!"
The people shouted one after another.
Shen Fengyun left some Ming Dynasty coins for the people, and left with Jin Yiwei, heading for the county town.
At this time, the county magistrate Liu Jie was discussing matters with the landlords and gentry in the county town.
"Master Liu, according to the news we have learned, those royal guards have not left yet. It seems that they will stay here forever!"
One person said.
"When these Jin Yiwei came here, they took out money to help the victims. It is obvious that they were sent by His Highness the Crown Prince and they will definitely investigate our affairs thoroughly!"
"What can we do about this matter? Once our affairs are exposed, it will be a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan. Your Excellency should know what happened in Kaifeng Mansion."
"In Kaifeng Mansion, not only were all the officials confiscated and their families exterminated, but the common people who resisted were also followed... Alas! This matter is extremely serious, what should we do?"
The landowners and gentry were all anxious.
They originally let people plant those flowers for profit. Who knew that after planting those flowers, they would cause so much harm!
"Haha! What's the hurry?
I have received news from the capital that those Jin Yiwei were ordered to go to Jiangnan to repair the blocked rivers this time!"
"But they used the money to help the victims. This is embezzling public funds privately. As long as I report it to the Ministry of Punishment, they will all die!"
"Hmph! If they are sensible, we will give them some money and send them off. If we have money to repair the river, they can handle it with His Highness the Prince."
"If they are ignorant, we have ways to cure them!"
County Magistrate Liu Jie said with a sneer.
Over the years, he has accumulated a lot of wealth in the county and the county. Not to mention millions of taels, it is not a problem to just spend hundreds of thousands of taels.
The Jinyi Guards, who belong directly to His Highness the Crown Prince, are extremely difficult to deal with. As long as they have no ill intentions towards you, it is not impossible to spend money to eliminate disasters yourself.
Anyway, in the end, the people here have to foot the bill, and he doesn't have to pay any price.
When the landlords and gentry present heard this, they all looked happy. It turned out that those imperial guards also had something in Magistrate Liu's hands.
"Master Liu, since these Jinyi guards have something in our hands, what do we have to fear?
Just wait for these Jin Yiwei to come and have a good discussion with them!"
One person said.
"Haha! This matter is all under my control, you don't have to worry. However, those royal guards are His Royal Highness's people after all. If they come, they must be well received!"
Liu Jie said with a sneer.
He came to these people this time just to give these people a vaccination in advance and let them know that Jin Yiwei was here, and they had to pay for the money to entertain Jin Yiwei.
"Haha! Don't worry, Mr. Liu, we are not ignorant children, we still know this truth!"
"Mr. Liu, don't worry, the money will definitely belong to us!"
Everyone laughed.
At this time, someone came in and reported: "Sir! The royal guards have entered the city!"
"Yeah! It came so quickly!"
Liu Jie said in shock.
He thought it would take a few days for the Jin Yiwei to arrive, but he didn't expect to arrive at their place so soon.
"Sir, what should we do now?"
one person asked.
"Of course I will prepare good wine and food to entertain them, let them eat and drink well, and let them have a good time. Let me see what else they can do!"
Liu Jie said coldly.
"Hey! Let's do it right now!"
A group of people immediately went to prepare wine and food, and also found the girls from Yihonglou, the most famous brothel in the city, to drink with Jin Yiweimen.
Shen Fengyun led the Jin Yiwei into the city, and Liu Jie led people to greet him.
"Haha! Welcome Mr. Jin Yiwei to come and inspect the place!"
Liu Jie stepped forward and said with a smile.
Shen Fengyun looked at Liu Jie and said, "Mr. Liu, what you have done here is well-known far and wide!"
Shen Fengyun didn't say it explicitly, but she said it very clearly. It was a reminder to Liu Jie and at the same time, it also shocked Liu Jie.
Liu Jie was stunned after hearing this. His expression remained unchanged and he said with a smile: "Haha! Mr. Jinyiwei is overly praised. I just fulfilled my duty in this small county town!"
"If there is anything wrong with what I have done, please forgive me, Lord Jinyiwei!"
hehe!
Shen Fengyun looked at Liu Jie, this man's character was not ordinary, he had said so, and yet he could not change his expression!
