Chapter 57: The Yellow Book Stele of Counterattack
- "Now you tell me whether those corrupt officials, corrupt officials, and bad grain managers should be killed or not!"
As soon as Wei Zhixian finished speaking, the people were in an uproar:
"This is too arrogant, no wonder Grandpa Tai wants to kill people, kill well, kill well!"
"That's right, they stole more than half of the imperial food we handed over. Whose world is this Ming Dynasty? Who should be killed?"
Amid the common people's cry that they should be killed, Wei Zhixian loudly said: "Nearly thirty years have passed since this case, and a new batch of moths has appeared in the country! The various methods in the Guo Huan case have once again spread in the land of the Ming Dynasty.
! Tell me, should we clean it again? Give me back the Ming Dynasty, and give my people a clear and bright future!"
The emotions of the people have been completely aroused. Thousands of people raised their arms and shouted wildly: "Yes!"
"Would you like to know if there are such borers in Fuyang County?" Wei Zhixian asked loudly again.
"Think!" the people shouted wildly.
"Okay! I want you to see it clearly!" Wei Zhixian waved his hand, and two officers rolled out a large cart. They pulled off the red silk covering the cart, revealing two stone tablets, which were densely engraved with words. Only
Listen to Wei Zhi County Road: "I will engrave the county's tax and service yellow book on a stone tablet and set it up at the head of each village! After you go back, you can tell the villagers to check. If you find that your family's name is not on the tablet, but you are
If you have been paying taxes, come to the county office immediately to report it, and the county will definitely go to heaven to hear it! I think I, Emperor Yongle, have the courage to match the late emperor, and I will never let the people down!"
"Okay!" The common people have fallen into a state of frenzy and want to go back and check whether the royal rations they have paid over the years have gone into the treasury or been stolen by the bastard!
Amidst the shouts of beating and killing, the grain chiefs were so frightened that their legs went weak. The most timid one even peed his pants...
The old faces of the squires were also green and white. These people who would not shed tears until they saw the coffin finally saw the coffin...
On the periphery of the crowd, a powerful man in well-dressed clothes frowned and said to a middle-aged man wearing a bamboo hat and a green cloth t-shirt: "Master, this Wei County magistrate is playing with fire..."
The man pushed up the bamboo hat, and a hint of teasing appeared on his thin face: "Didn't you just clap your hands and cheer..."
"Just now, didn't the master always say that going too far is not enough?" The strong man said worriedly: "He brought out the 'Regulations on Health and Human Resources' to punish those scholars who made trouble; he used the 'Guo Huan Case' to teach the grain chiefs that they were extremely
It's a good trick, but if you really lift the lid, I'm afraid a big hell will break out."
"Haha..." The middle-aged man smiled faintly, but because his face was too cold, the smile was no different from a sneer: "You kid, you are actually starting to use your brain."
"Don't I feel sorry for such a good official?" The strong man scratched his head and said: "Besides, if a big prison is really set off, it will be a big trouble for the master."
"Worrying for nothing." The middle-aged man snorted: "Wei Zhixian has sense, so he won't lift the lid?"
"Why?" Seeing this rhythm, the strong man was already ready to take action.
"Unless he was worried about his long life, he would never lift the lid in this way." The middle-aged man said slowly: "The big fanfare now just shows that his purpose is just to bluff people."
"How can this be bluffing? He has already played the chess to death. If he stops now, he will become a laughing stock." The strong man said in disbelief.
"Because his opponents are a group of fearless old foxes." The middle-aged man said coldly: "You can show your teeth and claws, but I won't be able to do anything. It's useless to scare them, you have to be serious!"
"Master, why are you stumbling upon yourself," the strong man said with a smile, "You just said he was just bluffing, and then you said he was serious about it."
"Alas, rotten wood cannot be carved..." The master sighed and said: "The virtual is real, and the real is virtual. It is wonderful to use it, send and receive freely..."
"Oh..." The strong man shrank his neck and looked towards the stage. He saw that Magistrate Wei had already gone back to the office, and all the officials and servants also left the eight-character wall. "Sir, are we going to see Magistrate Wei now?"
"Wait a minute." The middle-aged man turned around with the crowd and said, "Wei Zhixian has the second half, and he doesn't have time to see us right now."
"Ah, sir, I seem to understand." The strong man quickly caught up and said, "Those stone tablets cannot be erected just by being erected..."
"It seems that it hasn't completely decayed yet..." The middle-aged man shook his head and smiled, and disappeared around the corner with the strong man one behind the other...
The magistrate of Weixian County returned to the custody room, and as soon as he took off his crown, six major grain chiefs came together to ask for an audience.
Weizhixian ignored it and asked the chief attendant to take off his belt, knees and court clothes. He then took the soaked towel and pressed it on his face, using the cold touch to calm down his irritable mood.
"Sir, the grain captains are kneeling outside the signing room." The shift leader of the signing room then reported again.
Magistrate Wei put on Yan's official uniform and sat back to sit down. Seeing that he was still there, he picked up a cup of tea to moisten his throat and said, "Why are you still standing here?"
The Changsui had no choice but to exit, and Wei Zhixian picked up a "Da Gao" and read it carefully. He knew what it meant to "turn decay into magic". Wang Xian dug out the "Da Gao" from the almost forgotten Da Gao.
The two clauses made his fight for a comeback today sound and well-founded. It was actually more exciting than being named on the gold list back then!
'It seems that there are no useless things, only useless people!' Wei Zhixian deeply regretted that he was not familiar with the rules and was humiliated in vain. If he had known this rule earlier, he could have kicked out those students on the spot, which is no better than making up for it afterwards.
Already?
Wei Zhixian had just learned two pages of "Da Gao" when the attendant came back again and said: "Sir, Mr. Han just hit his head against the rockery. Thanks to the help of the person next to him, he still suffered a bloody head."
Wei Zhixian remained silent, his white face becoming increasingly grim.
"Sir, let's meet them..." the attendant persuaded them.
‘Bang!’ Wei Zhixian slammed the book in his hand, making the attendant shrink his neck in fright.
Wei Zhixian stared at him closely and said sternly: "Who are you? How dare you talk so much!"
The follower, who had been hanging around in the yamen for a long time, did not panic at all and replied calmly: "Sir, please calm down. I am also loyal, because those grain chiefs not only seek death and survival, but also say scary things, so I am afraid of making trouble."
Only when someone's life was taken did we have to report it."
"What scary things did you say?"
"If you don't see them, they will die together outside the door."
"Why are you on duty?" Wei Zhixian said with a dark face and a sharp sarcasm: "You signed a big land and let them mess around outside? Even if I have a dog, I know how to bark at them!"
The follower was scolded like a dog, and his face turned red.
"You need to do two things now!" Wei Zhixian said in a deep voice: "The first one is to order someone to take them out of the county government office so that they can die in Zeyuan, so that others will not have to collect their bodies."
The attendant opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but heard Magistrate Wei continue: "Second thing, you go to Master Sima, settle the salary for this month's work and food, then pack up and leave the county government, no longer employed!"
The attendant was completely stunned, with his mouth half open, not knowing where to start.
"Are you still asking me why?!" Wei Zhixian said for him.
"Yes... I don't dare!" The follower finally came to his senses and quickly knelt down and said, "Master, what mistake did this villain make that warrants him being expelled?"
"You know it yourself." Wei Zhixian continued to pick up the "Da Gao" and said without paying attention to him: "No official in the world will use it to eat things inside and outside!"
Only then did the attendant understand the reason. It turned out that something had happened in Dong Chuang, so he said nothing more, snorted heavily, got up and walked out.
"Come here!" Wei Zhixian suddenly shouted.
Two Zaoli heard the sound and came in, blocking the path of the entourage. They cupped their fists and said, "Master!"
"Take him out and give him sixty canes, and Lumi doesn't have to give him any more!" Magistrate Wei said coldly: "If you continue to spread the word, from now on, anyone who leaks information or peeks at the signature will be given forty canes and transferred to the judicial department.
Anyone who intercedes for others and disrespects the superior officer will be punished with twenty sticks and will be fired immediately!
"Here!" Feeling the great master's aura, Zaoli deserved to be very loud.
The attendant felt frightened and was dragged out by Zaoli...
After a stick of incense, Master Sima opened the curtain and came in, saying: "All the matters ordered by the great master have been completed." He finally felt the majesty of Bailihou from Wei Zhixian.
"Sir, you don't have to be like this." Wei Zhixian showed a smile and said: "Official authority depends on establishing authority. Wang Xian is right."
"Haha..." Seeing that Wang Xian's status in the eyes of the county master had skyrocketed, Sima Qiu felt sour in his heart. He seemed to have seen the miserable scene of a new generation replacing the old. It took him a while to come back to his senses and said: "Chief Jiang and Master Diao
Please wait outside to see me."
"No." Wei Zhixian said in a deep voice: "Go out and tell them that I have made up my mind. It is useless to talk more. Let them go back and wait!"
"Okay." Sima Qiu went out and told the two assistants what Magistrate Wei had said.
Jiangxian Cheng was dumbfounded when he heard this, and Master Diao was as frightened as a bereaved dog. Each of them held Sima Qiu's hand and begged: "Sir, please show me a way to survive!"
"Alas," Sima Qiu sighed and said, "The county master has a bad temper and no one can stop him. It's useless for both of you to say anything. Who else in Fuyang County can say anything?"
After speaking, he took out his hand, shook his head and turned around. However, Jiang Xiancheng and Director Diao had some realization. They finally understood who they should find to intercede.
The two went out to the county government office, called six grain chiefs, and came to Zhou's Restaurant. In the private room, several old men were restlessly waiting for news. They heard that all the people from the county government were dispatched to various townships.
The old man was trembling with fear when he went to erect monuments... Although fabricating yellow records and collecting grain and grass had nothing to do with them directly, annexing thousands of acres of land and passing on taxes and servitude to the common people was the only way for them to make a fortune. If Huang
The album has been released to the public, and all the information must have been leaked!
Even if the lawsuit is settled in the end without any damage, their reputation in the countryside will be ruined. How can they have the dignity to put on such a respectable air in the future?
Isn't the reason why these old gentlemen are at odds with the county magistrate to this day just to compete for face?
Now Wei Zhixian no longer fights with them, but instead slaps them in the face! Only then did the old men realize that face is not that important compared to family reputation...
