Regarding the case of corruption in Hedao Prefecture, the Yamen of Nanping Prefecture still did not give any reply.
Many scholars have gone to the Yamen, but Wang Run just found an excuse to get by.
Some impulsive scholars went to scold them, but got slapped by the yamen instead.
If any common people go to inquire, they will be driven away impatiently by the government officials.
Seeing the yamen's inaction, the people of Nanping Prefecture also realized that it was not only Hedao Prefecture that had embezzled money from the imperial court, but even the yamen of Nanping Prefecture had also been embezzling money.
Their officials protected each other, worked together in collusion, and took money from the court. In the end, it was the people who suffered!
This kind of behavior is really bad, and you will do anything for your own benefit.
If the crops are gone, what will the people eat?
The houses were flooded by the river, where did the people live?
If we fail to pay attention to this issue, I am afraid that the same situation will still occur in the future.
Students from the Hanyi Society, headed by Du Ning and Li Changsheng, came outside the Yamen of Nanping Mansion again, accompanied by some common people. They hoped that the Yamen could respond positively to the Hedao Mansion case.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Du Ning beats the drum of injustice.
After a while, the court door opened.
"Might~Martial~!"
The government officials beat the killing stick.
Many people came after hearing the sound, and a large group of people gathered around. It was extremely lively.
Wang Yang was sitting in the courtroom, looking down at Du Ning and others as if he were superior, with a look of contempt on his face.
He knew that Du Ning's visit today must be about the Hedao Mansion case.
"I've met the prefect."
Many scholars saluted and met.
Wang Yang slapped the gavel tree with a "pop" sound and asked: "Master Du, what do you want to do when you come to the court today?"
Du Ning said: "May I ask Mr. Wang, is there any latest progress in the Hedao Mansion case?"
Wang Yang showed an expression of "Sure enough", he slapped the alarm again, and said slowly: "According to the investigation conducted by the Yamen for many days, the Hedao Mansion has not been found to be suspected of corruption, and there is no evidence of any corruption in the accounts of the construction of the river embankment.
suspicious."
As soon as the words fell, the people suddenly became furious.
"The yamen has been investigating for so long and found out such a result? Who are you fooling!"
"The river embankments built by Hedao Prefecture are so vulnerable. If they say there is no corruption, I won't believe it even if they are killed!"
"The yamen's case-handling methods are nothing more than this!"
At this moment, the crowd was furious.
"Quiet!"
Wang Yang said loudly: "This is the court, don't make any noise, otherwise you will be roaring in the court and contemptuous of the court!"
After hearing this, the people could only shut up.
Du Ning smiled coldly and asked Wang Yang: "Master Wang, if the Hedao Mansion does not have the money from the imperial court to build the river embankment, how can we explain the inferior materials used to build the river embankment?"
"Someone must have interfered with it and secretly changed the materials. I am also carefully investigating who is framing Hedao Mansion." Wang Yang said.
"Whether someone is framing Hedao Mansion, Mr. Wang knows it in his heart, we know it in our heart, and everyone knows it in their heart."
Du Ning looked directly at Wang Yang and said slowly: "The Yamen and the Hedao Mansion are collaborating and collaborating. All the money allocated by the imperial court to build river embankments has gone into your pockets. Therefore, no matter how the Yamen investigates, it is impossible."
What will be the result?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding air suddenly became extremely cold.
"Bold!"
Wang Yang glared at Du Ning and said fiercely: "Master Du, don't talk nonsense, otherwise you won't blame me for being rude to you!"
"Master Wang, you are the magistrate of Nanping Prefecture, do you really want to be a corrupt official?" Du Ning said in a deep voice.
"Du Ning, you..."
Wang Yang's face was a little ugly, and he was shocked: "I don't want to argue with you about such a meaningless matter. I will make my own decision on the final outcome of this case, and it's not your turn to dictate!"
"Dog officer!"
Du Ning said angrily: "You earn a salary from the imperial court, but you don't share the worries of the emperor, and you don't solve the problems of the people below. You only take bribes and bend the law, causing harm to one party. Although you are a Confucian, Taoist, and Hanlin scholar, you have read the books of sages in vain!"
"Presumptuous! Presumptuous! Presumptuous!"
"Bold Duning! How dare you scold me!"
Wang Yang was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He was scolded as a dog official in front of so many people. This was absolutely a great shame and humiliation.
"Dog officer!" Li Changsheng scolded.
"Dog official!" students from Hanyi Club yelled.
"Dog official!" Countless people yelled.
Wang Yang's face turned livid with anger, but he was helpless.
"Quit!"
Wang Yang gave the order, and the government officials immediately used the killing stick to drive everyone out of the courtroom.
"Bang!"
The court door was closed, leaving only the common people shouting and cursing outside.
"This is really outrageous. The dignified prefect is colluding with the Hedao Prefecture. It is simply shameless!"
"Wang Yang, you are not worthy of being the king of a house! You are simply a scholar in vain!"
"I will report to the imperial court to punish you!"
Listening to the words of the people outside the court, Wang Yang disagreed very much. No matter how they made trouble, as long as he ignored them, they could only do nothing.
It won't be long before these people have no choice but to leave.
"You untouchables dare to run wild outside the government office. Are you trying to rebel?"
At this moment, Wang Run led another group of government officials over, and immediately labeled them as "rebels".
After hearing Wang Run's words, many people turned pale with fright.
You must know that "rebellion" is a serious crime that affects the nine ethnic groups. If this label is buckled, no one will dare to accept it.
"Let me tell you, this is the Yamen of Nanping Prefecture, not a vegetable market. If you dare to make noise again, don't blame the Yamen for arresting you for rebellion!"
Wang Run drank loudly, his face full of triumph, and he looked at Du Ning and others with expressions of contempt and disdain.
Many common people have kept their mouths shut. After all, they are just common people. Without strong enough backing, they would not dare to challenge the yamen.
"Master Du, I remember you told me three days ago that you would make our yamen pay a price. Today, I, Wang Run, am standing here to see what kind of price you can make us pay."

Wang Run has an arrogant attitude. He showed up at this time just to slap Du Ning in the face.
He just didn't believe that in this large public place and in such a clear world, Du Ning could do something that would make them pay the price.
"Wang Run, you will regret it!"
With a look of disgust on his face, Du Ning walked to a stone table next to the street and shouted: "Bring me a pen and ink!"
After the words fell, the scholars of Hanyi Club immediately took out the Four Treasures of the Study and placed them on the stone table.
Wang Run's face changed slightly, "Is it possible that Du Ning wants to write some poems to criticize the Yamen?"
Scholars complain about injustice and can express the unfairness they encounter by writing poems and lyrics.
"No matter what you write, it's useless. If you dare to slander the Yamen, I won't let you go!" Wang Run said fiercely.
Du Ning ignored Wang Run. After he was ready, he picked up the pen and wrote on the paper.
"The Nanping River Road Prefecture embezzled money from the imperial court and used low-quality materials to build the river embankments. As a result, the river embankments collapsed when the rainy season came, washing away crops and fertile fields. The rivers in the county flooded their houses, leaving hundreds of families homeless."
"At this time of public dissatisfaction, the Nanping government office did not strictly investigate corrupt officials. Instead, it collaborated with them, collaborated with them, and went through the motions. Such behavior failed the emperor on the one hand and the people on the other. It is a shame for the government and the court!"
"Today, I, Du Ning, as a scholar of the ninth rank in Confucianism and Taoism, as a seventh-rank viscount, and as the head of the Yulin County Golden List, invite all the saints to write against the Yamen of Nanping Prefecture and Hedao Prefecture!"
After Du Ning finished writing, the stars in the literary palace shook.
The majestic talent and power burst out, condensing into huge golden fonts, forming written articles in the air.
Let’s write!
Everyone looked up to the sky, each one showing anger.
Du Ning’s written and written article is simply penetrating!
"Presumptuous! Presumptuous! Presumptuous!"
"How dare you criticize the Yamen, Du Ning!"
"What a shame! What a shame!"
Wang Run roared at Du Ning, looking very angry.
He did not expect that Du Ning would use critical tactics against the government.
This is simply a fight to the death!
Inside the yamen, Wang Yang and many other officials also looked up at the written articles in the sky, and were instantly so angry that their eyes were splitting and their heads were filled with anger.
It is unprecedented in the history of Yun State that a court official was criticized by scholars!
Wang Yang couldn't believe it, nor could he accept it. As the prefect of Nanping Prefecture, one day he would be criticized by others.
Regardless of whether Du Ning succeeds in writing, if this matter is spread, it will shock the whole country.
At present, the Eight Sage Kings are participating in the candidacy for the crown prince. If other princes know about this matter, they will definitely ask Emperor Jingwen for a detailed investigation. Then the case of embezzlement in Hedao Mansion cannot be concealed at all, and it will definitely be investigated and come to light.
At that time, it will inevitably affect the Eight Wise Kings competing for the crown prince position.
"Arrogant! This Du Ning doesn't know how high the sky is and dares to criticize the Yamen. He is simply overestimating his own capabilities!"
"I have been an official for many years, but I have never seen anyone dare to criticize the yamen. It is so ridiculous! It is so ridiculous!"
"It's not just absurd, it's simply ridiculous!"
Many officials were so frightened and angry that they were criticized by scholars, which was like trampling on their literary names.
"Du Ning, if you want to criticize me, I'm afraid it won't be that easy!"
Wang Yang roared, hurriedly grasped his official seal, and said loudly: "Dun Ning of Nanping Prefecture is arrogant and unruly, slandering the Yamen, and slandering the imperial officials. His crimes are extremely heinous and cannot be tolerated by nature. Today, I, Wang Yang, use my official talents to make a sword and smash it into pieces."
Du Ning’s writing and writing will bring justice to our court!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his majestic talent and power soared into the sky.
"I know that I am a member of the Nanping Prefecture, and I am willing to lend a helping hand to the prefect!"
"I'm going to be the official magistrate of Nanping Prefecture, and I'm willing to help the magistrate crush the writings!"
"We are willing to lend a helping hand!"
Many officials in the yamen expressed support, and bursts of majestic talent and power gathered in the air, forming a sword that was several feet long.
