Huang Liangping pondered and looked at the sky. Cold raindrops continued to fall. He saw Luo Pei looking at him with a sinister smile. He stood up, flicked his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "I am the prefect. I am in charge of the affairs of the prefecture. I am fair and aboveboard.
There is nothing that cannot be said, and there is no need to avoid it. Please ask the Imperial Envoy to get to the bottom of it!"
Luo Pei comforted him with "good intentions": "I am also willing to believe Mr. Huang. The evidence submitted by Jia Yuan will be known to be true or false upon investigation. This case will not drag on for too long."
"Sir Huang, there is no need to worry about matters in the county. Before the case is concluded, I will urge the officials of Shuanghua Mansion to carry out their duties seriously. Mr. Huang can also take this opportunity to take a good rest for a few days. After all, you have been in poor health recently.
Not very good?"
It sounds nice, but you just want to take advantage of the opportunity to seize your own power!
In fact, if he is aboveboard, seizing power doesn't matter much. In the final analysis, Luo Pei is just an imperial envoy to control the river. He has the power of Shuanghua Mansion. If he is not justified, he will not be able to take it for long.
It's just that Huang Liangping has something in his heart, so he naturally refuses to give in.
"There have been a lot of floods recently. Your Majesty, the Imperial Envoy, will be busy with river control. How can you have time to deal with the affairs of Shuanghua Mansion? This is also a flood-stricken area. Floods are a big deal, and river control is the top priority!"
"It's not sunny at the moment, and people are panicking. The dams need to pay more attention at all times. If something goes wrong, I can't hide behind closed doors!"
"When something goes wrong, whose responsibility is it?"
"Even if this matter comes before the emperor, the official will argue like this. In this special period, just for such a trivial matter, let the official stay behind closed doors to avoid suspicion?"
"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, please forgive me for the difficulty in obeying my order!"
"So, Mr. Huang is unwilling to avoid suspicion?" Luo Pei's smile slowly faded and he asked coldly.
Huang Liangping frowned and replied: "Please forgive me for not obeying my order!"
"Okay, okay, it seems that if you don't ask for the king's order, you won't recognize me as the imperial envoy!" Luo Pei nodded, suddenly turned around and said sternly to his attendants: "Come here, please ask the king for the flag and raise the flag!"
"The flag of the king's order? This is second only to Shang Fang's sword. Although it does not have the right to kill first and report later, it can still remove officials."
"Luo Pei is decisive in his actions."
In the crowd, Su Ziji's spirit was slightly shaken, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. The officer and his soldiers came in, and presented a black golden dragon flag to the case. Luo Pei Gong knelt three times and kowtowed nine times.
Seeing Luo Pei asking for the king's order flag, Huang Liangping had to kneel down and was shocked: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
After Luo Pei kowtowed, he held the command flag in both hands, stood up, and faced Huang Liangping: "Sir Huang, this is the royal envoy's flag, which was given by the emperor before my imperial envoy left! Since Mr. Huang, you are unwilling to close the door to avoid suspicion, that imperial envoy
I have no choice but to use this royal flag to suspend your authority!"
"So, the Imperial Envoy must dismiss me from my position?" Huang Liangping looked at Luo Pei coldly and asked.
Luo Pei said calmly: "I just want Mr. Huang to avoid suspicion. Mr. Huang must think so, and there is nothing I can do about it."
"Now, are you following the order or not?"
The death penalty was controlled by the imperial court. Execution of the death penalty without the emperor's decree was unauthorized killing and a serious crime. In fact, the king's command flag did not have the right to kill. The scope of execution on the spot without asking for an decree was limited to serious offenders, killing more than three people in a family, and soldiers.
Escape, rob prisons, kill officials, etc.
Using this to kill an official is also considered unauthorized killing.
But if the prefect refuses to obey the order, he is disobeying the order and despising the emperor, and killing him by force is justifiable.
Su Ziji could see clearly from the door. Faced with Luo Pei's persecution, Huang Liangping clenched his fists.
"Does Huang Liangping dare to resist the imperial envoy in public?"
"No, he didn't dare. It doesn't matter if there is no king's order flag. With this king's order flag, Luo Pei suspended Huang Liangping's prefectural power, and it was still within his authority. Even the governor could not stop him."
"As long as Huang Liangping is not stupid, he will endure it for the time being."
While thinking this, Huang Liangpingguo, whose face changed, gritted his teeth and responded: "Since the imperial envoy has taken out the royal flag, the subordinate officials are unwilling but dare not resist, so I will temporarily hand over these two palaces to the imperial envoy."
Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy... But if something happens, Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, it will all be your fault!"
Su Ziji didn't bother to look at Huang Liangping's harsh words.
He glanced at the wild Taoist, who immediately understood what Su Ziji meant, and the two squeezed out of the crowd one after the other.
It wasn't until they were farther away that they held up their umbrellas again.
Raindrops pattered on the umbrella. Under the umbrella, the wild Taoist's voice was low, with a little regret.
"I didn't expect that he would just let the imperial envoy deal with him. It gave him an advantage."
If he resisted in court, he would be punished immediately. But now that Huang Liangping has given up, he can only be temporarily detained.
The wild Taoist sighed: "This is not dismissal, but just suspension pending impeachment, right?"
Although Huang Liangping is a ruthless character, they have already expected it. They even know that if they want to completely bring down Huang Liangping, they may not be able to rely on Jia Yuan alone, and they have prepared a plan, but they still feel a little regretful at the moment.
"Indeed, it is just a matter of suspension pending impeachment." Su Ziji looked at the rain and fog in the distance and said in a low voice: "Moreover, the imperial envoy's move is unjust and unjust. Huang Liangping's backstage will definitely come to rescue quickly."
Colluding with the demon clan, Huang Liangping, the prefect, has been involved and has been detained for a long time. Luo Pei may not be able to find out the secret from Huang Liangping.
It is impossible not to save the people behind Huang Liangping.
It was a difficult task for imperial envoy Luo Pei to torture Huang Liangping to death. After all, Luo Pei had no strength in fighting a chicken, and he only led more than ten soldiers. He was able to capture Huang Liangping with just one sentence, and it was just relying on the power of the system.
.
If Luo Pei breaks the rules, he may die no matter what.
But for Su Ziji and the wild Taoist, there was nothing they could do. They immediately signaled the wild Taoist to talk while walking.
There were passers-by hurriedly behind him. While talking to Su Ziji, the wild Taoist was secretly observing the surroundings, his voice was very low. No one could have imagined that they were the ones taking charge of the Yamen.
"Huang Liangping was cruel and ruthless. When he was young, he had a good relationship with Huang Yuankong, a member of his clan, and called him his uncle. But when he became successful, Huang Yuankong in turn called himself his nephew, and Huang Liangping reluctantly let him go."
"In the same year of Huang Liangping, Cui Xun was named Cui Xun. Cui Xun's servant rammed his carriage. He sentenced the servant to death in the name of attacking an official. He also sent someone to arrest Cui Xun and asked him why he didn't come to visit him.
I tied myself up and gave him twenty canes before I stopped."
"It can be seen that this person is mean and ungrateful. He has not spared his peers even for years."
"But as an official, Huang Liangping was the best at figuring out his superiors' intentions, and he executed them vigorously and resolutely. If the superior officer said one, he would add three, making sure to satisfy the superior officer. Therefore, he was too harsh and violent, and many people fled."
"Huang Liangping still doesn't take it seriously. The metaphor is that this is holding wheat in the hand, and all the chaff is taken away, leaving behind is the full wheat."
"For the sake of the imperial court (Shangguan), why would I hesitate to slander (minor people)?"
Speaking of this, Su Ziji couldn't help but sigh with emotion. This is loyalty. As long as you are loyal, what's the harm in having a rougher style?
Who doesn’t appreciate this kind of subordinate? If you don’t appreciate it, you may not be an official, or you may be pretentious and aloof!
