Chapter 1204. A big gift package for confiscation of homes and extermination of families
Before these officials had finished arguing, Lu Xianchen had already written down a page full of negative information for each of them.
The dirty information ranges from trivial matters in their back houses to major matters such as occupying people's farmland and drinking their blood.
Lu Xianchen had known these officials before, and seeing how bad they all were, he had even thought of trying to win over them.
Seeing them exposing each other's shortcomings at this time, I felt that I had made a mistake in the past.
This may be another kind of knowing people and faces but not knowing the heart.
Tang Miaoxin glanced at Lu Xianchen again, and Lu Xianchen understood again, slapped the case hard, and said angrily: "That's enough!"
All the officials looked at him.
After all, they had little respect for Lu Xianchen, the new King of Dingbei. They took one look at him and then quarreled.
Lu Xianchen: "..."
Tang Miaoxin also felt very funny when she saw this scene.
It is really enough for Lu Xianchen, the King of Dingbei, to reach this point.
Tang Miaoxin asked quietly: "Have all their crimes been recorded?"
Lu Xianchen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I've written it all down."
Tang Miaoxin said softly: "Now that everything has been written down and there are definite witnesses, what are you waiting for?"
Lu Xianchen immediately shouted loudly: "Here, tie them all up and put them in jail!"
After he said this, no one could care about exposing each other.
They immediately appealed to Tang Miaoxin: "Your Highness, you just said that as long as we expose Zhuzhou Mu, we will reward him based on his merits!"
Tang Miaoxin nodded and said, "Yes, I did say such a thing."
"But before I said this, I didn't know that you were so shameless and did so many evil things."
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they looked at her in shock.
Her expression was very indifferent: "I originally thought you were of good use, but I didn't expect you to be so unworthy."
"Scumbags like you, living as a human being is a waste of rice and food. As long as your parents are willing to support you, there is nothing wrong with this matter."
"But you are all serving as officials in the court, lying on the bodies of the people to suck blood. As the Crown Princess, I have to use the laws of the court to restrain you."
The officials exchanged glances with each other.
Even if they were being stupid, they knew at this moment that the princess in front of them was not a good person.
Zhuzhou Mu's eyes were filled with sternness: "Your Highness, don't you want to punish us all?"
"Your Highness, please think twice about this matter. The reconstruction of Rongzhou is now a time when manpower is urgently needed."
"If we are all punished, I'm afraid there will be no one to handle government affairs in the future."
Tang Miaoxin heard the threat in his words.
After all, they were all confidants of the former Dingbei King and had controlled Rongzhou for many years.
All kinds of government orders are implemented through their hands.
When Zhuzhou Mu just exposed their shortcomings, he had the idea of not punishing everyone according to the law.
He felt that as long as he dragged everyone down, he might still be able to earn a way out for himself.
Tang Miaoxin chuckled, looked at Ning Guzhou and said, "Guzhou, they threaten me."
Ning Guzhou said with an expressionless face: "Previously, the Northern King was too useless, and the officials in Rongzhou were encircling themselves, thinking that the world would not be able to function without them."
"In fact, they are the biggest garbage in Rongzhou. Without them, the entire officialdom of Rongzhou can run smoothly."
"Only when they are all captured can the people of Rongzhou be restored to peace."
The new decree they implemented previously encountered some resistance because of the existence of these officials.
No matter how powerful Mu Yunxiu is, there is no way he can distribute all the money that Tang Miaoxin snatched from Dingbei Palace to the people.
But because his methods were pretty good, even though some of the money was withheld, at least 60% of the people were able to get it.
Tang Miaoxin was a little annoyed when she found out about this.
It's just that she clearly knows that it is impossible to completely eradicate this kind of long-standing corruption in officialdom.
But she felt that as the Crown Princess, she could do more of this and the common people would benefit more.
For example, in this situation, she can definitely chop off the garbage!
She smiled slightly and said: "That's right Gu Zhou said!"
The corners of her lips raised slightly, but her eyes were filled with frost: "Zhu Zhoumu, you are really not as important as you think."
"As far as I am concerned, as long as I get evidence of your crime and be able to explain it to the world."
When she said this, her smile disappeared and she said expressionlessly: "Someone, please post their charges."
"Then their homes were ransacked, all the males over ten years old were beheaded, and all the female relatives and males under ten years old were exiled three thousand miles away."
This punishment is by no means light.
All the officials were shocked!
They really didn't expect that the princess, who looked delicate and frail, could be so ruthless.
At this moment, they were really scared and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
Tang Miaoxin glanced at them coldly and said, "There should be many people who have begged you like this before, right?"
"Please let them go, please return their farmland. Have you let them go?"
The faces of all the officials were very ugly.
When they were in power, they never took the people seriously.
In their view, the people are just things they want, and their thoughts and even their lives are not important.
And when they now become the party that relies on punishment, this feeling is very bad.
Tang Miaoxin waved her hand, and the guards took them all down.
The families who came to make trouble today are all aristocratic families in Rongzhou.
They have deep roots in Rongzhou and have considerable energy.
It's just that they are basically all civil servants. Even if civil servants have some powerful servants at home, their number is limited after all.
In addition, Tang Miaoxin suddenly launched an attack this time, and Ning Guzhou mobilized troops who had nothing to do with them to raid their home.
The whole thing went very smoothly.
By noon the next day, everyone was under control.
At the same time, their charges were plastered all over the streets.
Tang Miaoxin also asked people to post a notice asking all the people whose fields had been occupied by these officials before.
As long as there is evidence in hand to prove that the fields belong to them, they can return them in full.
As soon as this notice was posted, the whole Rongzhou was in turmoil.
Those officials in the former Rongzhou whose corpses were lying on the people's bodies and sucking blood were frightened half to death.
Those officials who originally had ambitions and wanted to do practical things for the people, but had been suppressed all the time, felt that there was a dawn.
The happiest people are the people. When policies that benefit the people are issued, the people with land are happy, while the people without land are helpless.
They originally thought they would not be able to get their fields back, but unexpectedly, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess came to crack down on corrupt officials and return all their fields!
