Wang Deyong became very excited after hearing what the soldier said. He hurriedly approached and said excitedly: "Tell me carefully, why is that boy so cruel?"
The soldiers briefly told Wang Deyong the experience of Bao Zheng entering Jiangning Mansion.
"General, when we got out of Magistrate Bao and brought the brothers into Jiangning Mansion, they were embarrassed by the guards guarding the gate of Jiangning Mansion. The brothers thought that Magistrate Bao would break in based on his identity, but they didn't expect that Magistrate Bao would take out his own
With the official's seal, the gatekeeper can check it.
Although the guard's attitude was respectful, the brothers could see that he despised Magistrate Bao in his heart.
The brothers thought that Magistrate Bao was a softie and thought that they would follow Magistrate Bao on a wasted trip.
After Magistrate Bao entered Jiangning Mansion, he went straight to the Yamen of the Magistrate of Jiangning Mansion.
As soon as I entered the yamen, I saw people in the yamen openly escorting prostitutes in the lobby.
The brothers thought that Magistrate Bao would give a lecture.
But they didn't expect that Magistrate Bao didn't even give them a chance to defend themselves, and directly ordered his brothers to kill them all.
Among the forty-eight people, two had passed the sixth grade and had the opportunity to submit the memorial to the official's desk.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it reaches heaven.
Even if an official wanted to be executed, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple would have to review it together.
But Magistrate Bao cut him off as he asked without batting an eyelid."
Wang De raised the corners of his mouth and asked excitedly: "What then?"
The soldier said with admiration: "Then let the brothers pick out the heads of those officials and hang them on the gate of the Jiangning Prefecture magistrate's office. They said that within three days, all the officials from Jiangning Prefecture must arrive in Jiangning."
The prefect's Yamen.
If you are too late, you will be beheaded. If you don't arrive, your house will be ransacked and your family will be destroyed."
"Hahaha……"
Wang Deyong laughed loudly. He felt that Bao Zheng was really a very interesting person.
Although he had only met Bao Zheng once, he was no stranger to Bao Zheng.
When he arrived, he went to see Bao Zheng's files.
He knew everything Bao Zheng had done since he became an official.
When Zhao Zhen sent him out of Bianjing City, he once evaluated Bao Zheng in eight words.
Killing in hand, honest and kind.
Wang Deyong had a deep understanding of Bao Zheng's integrity.
When Bao Zheng entered the realm of Jiangning Mansion, his scouts had already sent the news to him.
A high-ranking official only has an old servant and an ox cart with him when he travels.
There is no entourage of followers, no charming wives and concubines.
The scout's investigation was very secretive.
Therefore, Wang Deyong dared to conclude that Bao Zheng's integrity was definitely not a show.
In the previous Song Dynasty, Wang Deyong had only seen one such person, and that was Zhang Gong and Zhang Zhibai, who was now in charge of Liao.
Although Wang Deyong is a martial artist, he also admires such people who hold high positions and have a breeze on their sleeves.
It is precisely because of this that Wang Deyong showed considerable kindness to Bao Zheng during their first meeting.
Otherwise, when Bao Zheng asked for troops, why would Wang Deyong be very considerate and dispatch a thousand troops to Bao Zheng, and also send several troops to protect Bao Zheng Zhouquan?
You must know that with the current military system of the Song Dynasty, if Wang De did not let go, Bao Zheng wanted to dispatch troops from Wang De. He could only report to the Ministry of War first, then to the Privy Council, and finally with the approval of the officials.
Wang De mobilized the men and horses with his hands.
Wang De holds two troops, the Zhenxi Army and the Jiangning Prefecture local troops. If local officials want to transfer troops from his hands, they must go through the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, and Zhao Zhen's ruling. Both are indispensable.
If Wang De only had the Western Army at his disposal, he would only need to report to Zhao Zhen and the Privy Council.
If Wang De only has local soldiers at his disposal, then he only needs to petition the Ministry of War, and Zhao Zhen does not need to petition anywhere.
In short, according to the current military system of the Song Dynasty.
If the imperial army and local soldiers fight together, approval from three parties is required.
If it's just the Forbidden Army, only two parties are needed.
For local soldiers, one side is enough.
Wang Deyong was generous to Bao Zheng because he valued Bao Zheng's integrity.
But he didn't see the killing intent in Zhao Zhen's comment.
Although during his tenure in the Bohai Mansion, Bao Zheng knew how to use his power and killed more than a hundred corrupt officials who abused their power.
But Wang Deyong did not see the word killing in it.
Killing requires decisiveness, not killing after verification.
Now that the soldiers described Bao Zheng's actions after entering the city, Wang Deyong finally believed Zhao Zhen's evaluation.
After Wang Deyong laughed, he commented: "My temperament is like that of Wang Zeng, with a kind heart, but he is merciless to those moths. As an official, he is like Mr. Zhang, who is honest and honest."
It's like the two of them together.
The official family has discovered a great talent."
The personal attendant had already walked to Wang Deyong when Wang Deyong laughed. Hearing Wang Deyong's evaluation of Bao Zheng, he couldn't help but said: "Sir, do you think your evaluation of that boy is too high?
"
Wang Deyong smiled and shook his head, "Not high, not high..."
The personal attendant seriously reminded: "People will change, just like Ding Wei back then. When he was in the local area, he applied benevolent policies and kept the place in order.
But as soon as you enter Bianjing City, your true colors are immediately revealed.
It ended up being a disaster.”
When Ding Wei was mentioned, the smile on Wang Deyong's face faded a bit. Wang Deyong did not like Ding Wei because Ding Wei had slandered him in the court.
He had already shown himself to be indifferent to the world, but he was sent to the border by Ding Wei to suffer from the wind and sand for a long time.
Although he is very eager to make achievements, being framed by others always makes people feel unhappy.
Wang Deyong said in a neutral tone: "Ding said that guy is greedy for money and flattering. He cannot restrain himself and return etiquette. But Bao Zheng can do it. He served in Bohai Mansion for two and a half years and only brought out two things.
The newly added cold clothes are enough to show that he is a very self-denying and polite person.
Although Bohaifu has just emerged, Bohaifu Pier has become a place where many wealthy businessmen stay for a long time in just two years.
He is also the supervisor, if he wants to make money.
I dare not say more, but I will definitely buy hundreds of thousands of them.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars have failed to impress him, which is enough to show that he is a powerful person."
The personal attendant mused: "He entered the Jiangning Mansion, cut through the mess quickly, and killed people to establish his power. It seems bloody, but to us, it is just a common method.
The old servant didn’t see how ruthless he was.”
Wang Deyong glanced at his entourage and hummed: "What I said is that he is very cruel to himself."
The follower looked astonished.
If you think carefully about Wang Deyong's words just now, this is really the case.
He is also considered a person who has seen big scenes and knows a truth.
Those who are cruel to themselves are truly cruel people.
It can send chills from one's bones to the core.
Wang Deyong, who had a look of astonishment on his face, curled his lips and said, "What a pity... She's just too ruthless, and she's too old. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to find a decent wife."
The attendant looked at Wang Deyong in confusion.
Wang Deyong said calmly: "Don't look at me like that. I originally thought he was a figure like Mr. Zhang, and wanted to betroth Xiang'er to him to add some elegance to my Wang family.
But he is not Zhang Gong, he is Zhang Gong and Wang Zeng combined.
Xiang'er followed her, not only had to endure hardship, but also suffered.
After returning home, ask your wife to go to the Yang Mansion and ask Yang Wenguang to find someone to come and propose marriage.
By the way, I would like to warn that little brat Yang Huaiyu to stop lying on the wall for me.
The promise was made to him, and he came to see it openly and openly.
If you dare to lean against the wall again, I will break his legs."
Seeing this, the attendant said excitedly: "Master, have you agreed to this marriage?"
Wang Deyong sighed and said: "So what if you don't agree? Our family is not smart, and the Yang family is also very cool, so we just make a couple."
I originally wanted to find a smart grandson-in-law.
But now it seems that our family cannot stand the trouble of having a smart grandson-in-law come into the family."
The personal attendant only knew that Wang Deyong had agreed to the marriage, and he pretended not to have heard Wang Deyong's other words.
Wang Deyong said that people in the Wang family were not smart, but that was all a lie.
Three generations of the Wang family stood tall in the court hall. The wind and rain passed by the Wang family, but the Wang family didn't touch anything.
Now, the noisy Shi family has collapsed.
The Pan family also fell.
Cao, Li, Gao and others were torn apart.
Only the Wang family remained as usual.
In the turbulent court, the Wang family has been able to survive smoothly until today. Who dares to say that the Wang family is not smart?
The Wang family just likes to keep a low profile.
Wang Deyong ignored the thoughts of his entourage and shouted: "Since that boy dared to kill people and was so decisive in his killing, then we don't need to worry about the Jiangning Mansion.
After passing the order, all the water veins of Jiangning Prefecture were blocked by the army to prevent the appearance of villains.
If there are any villains holding armor, they will be treated as rebels and killed on the spot without asking for instructions."
Since Bao Zheng is a brave boy who dares to fight, Wang Deyong doesn't have to worry about the affairs of Jiangning Mansion.
But in order to prevent someone from jumping over the wall in a hurry, he still had to make some arrangements.
As Wang De conveyed the order with one order, all the waters near Jiangning Mansion were tightly sealed.
The water was calm as never before, with no cargo ships coming and going, and no floating fishing boats.
Only the battle flag fluttered in the cold wind.
The water surface was calm, but things were turbulent in Jiangning Mansion.
On the second day after Bao Zheng entered the city, he raised the butcher's knife again.
One of the eight previous murder cases was solved by Bao Zheng.
The Chen family, a grain merchant who controlled 10% of Jiangning Mansion, was involved in a murder case. Bao Zheng immediately sent troops to raid the Chen family's mansion.
The principal culprit was beheaded, and the rest were exiled to Liao.
All property was confiscated.
In fact, Bao Zheng didn't do much to investigate. The main reason was that Chen's people took the initiative to publicize the murder when they saw that the court couldn't do anything about them.
It was regarded as a great event and told to many girls on the Qinhuai River.
Bao Zheng entered Jiangning Mansion. After learning about the incident, he grabbed some evidence after a short interrogation and took action immediately.
The wealthy families in Jiangning Mansion have been staying in Wenrou Township for a long time.
Forgot the fear of weapons.
In the past, people sent by the imperial court to investigate them were either framed and forced to leave, or they used various means to win over them.
They completely forgot that when the weapons came down, they had no strength to resist.
There is nothing you can do but let others slaughter you.
When Bao Zheng dealt with the Chen family, everyone in the wealthy family was shocked.
What frightened them was not that Bao Zheng killed the Chen family and confiscated the Chen family, but that Bao Zheng sent the Chen family's people to Liao.
If those fighting men in Liao knew that their family members who stayed in their hometown in Jiangning Prefecture were bullied to death by the Chen family, it would be strange if they did not torment the Chen family.
People in the army have deep feelings for each other and share the same hatred for the enemy.
As long as the documents documenting Chen's crime are photographed and handed over to the Liao District Supervisory Army, everyone will know about it immediately.
Mrs. Chen, it’s over.
It's not that he was killed or confiscated.
Instead, he was wiped out by a hairdresser.
Everyone in the Jiangning Mansion had the impression that their new prefect was ruthless.
It's so cruel that it makes people feel chilled from the bottom of their hearts.
After Bao Zheng took control of Jiangning Mansion, he did nothing but investigate cases, ransack homes, and kill people.
On the third day, Suzhou Zhizhou was delayed for half an hour before arriving at Jiangning Mansion, and his head was instantly hung on the flagpole.
On the fourth day, the robber in the city was arrested, paraded through the streets for half a day, and beheaded.
On the fifth day, some villagers sued a wealthy family for occupying their fields and causing harm to people's lives. Bao Zheng led people to investigate and found eleven corpses in a dry well in the courtyard of the wealthy family. His whole family was arrested and beheaded.
, ransacked the house, ransacked the house, exiled.
…
Bao Zheng was in Jiangning Mansion and did nothing.
Just investigate the case, and then investigate the case again.
Bao Zheng can be regarded as the son of a landlord, and he knows the nature of the landlord well.
He knew that those wealthy families did not treat their tenants and servants as human beings, and they had done some evil things to some extent.
Therefore, he only needs to investigate the case.
If someone complains, he will investigate; if no one complains, he will overturn the case.
The memorial against Bao Zheng floated into Bianjing City like snowflakes and reached the Political Affairs Hall.
Inside the political hall.
Wang Zeng held a volume of memorials in his hand, his face was as black as iron. He stared at Kou Ji, trembling all over and said: "You really picked a good executioner!"
Kou Ji casually threw the memorial in his hand onto the big case in the main hall of the political affairs hall, stretched out, and the attendant immediately brought a bowl of lotus seed soup and placed it in front of him.
He took a brief sip, put down the bowl, and said to Wang Zeng, neither salty nor bland: "The officials picked the people, not me."
Wang Zeng said angrily: "More than 900 lives were taken, and more than 10,000 people were distributed. How do you ask the court to explain such a big deal to the people in the world?
Just because they want to burn Changpingcang?"
Kou Jicheng said calmly: "If they dare to threaten Changpingcang, they must be prepared to be executed. You are not a newbie. You should understand that Changpingcang is the foundation for the stability of the imperial court. Who can
Whoever touches it will die."
Wang Zeng gritted his teeth and said: "They just want to have less, but there is no less."
Kou Ji yawned and said, "When they burn it, it will be too late. Changpingcang in Yuncheng can bear the important task of supporting soldiers at many passes.
If the food is gone, the soldiers at several passes will rebel.
Therefore, they should not pay attention to regular closing positions.
They were killed, and their relatives were implicated and sentenced to death, and they were themselves to blame."
Wang Zeng stood up with a puff of beard and glared, and roared: "Just because they thought about it, more than 900 people lost their lives?!"
Kou Ji said disapprovingly: "If you dare to think about military rations, let alone nine hundred, nine thousand will have to be killed."
After saying this, Kou Ji curled his lips and said, "Don't just stare at Han Qi. Bao Zheng killed a lot of people in Jiangning Mansion. Why didn't you talk about Bao Zheng?"
That's right.
What Kou Ji and Wang Zeng were talking about just now was Han Qi.
Compared with Bao Zheng's use of investigation methods to clean up the wealthy families in Jiangning Mansion.
Han Qi's method is much simpler and more direct.
After Han Qi arrived in Yuncheng, he did nothing.
I slept for more than half a month.
Then let people spread the word.
It is said that the imperial court sent him to Hedong to move all the military households in Hedong to Liao.
The wealthy families in Hedong were panicked. There were quite a lot of military households in Hedong. If they all moved away, there would be no one to exploit the wealthy families in Hedong. They might not even have enough maids to use in the house, let alone find people to farm the land.
.
I don’t know who I heard from, saying that since Chang Ping Cang was gone, Han Qi could no longer stay in Hedong and would be dismissed from office.
This is true.
As the chief official of the land east of Hedong, Han Qi indeed has an unshirkable responsibility if there is anything wrong with Chang Pingcang.
But the wealthy family had no idea that Han Qi was the one who spread the news.
Then people from wealthy families colluded with a group of thieves and planned to burn Changpingcang.
As a result, he was captured before it was burned.
Han Qi grabbed the big thieves and suddenly pulled out a bunch of them like potatoes.
More than 900 people were beheaded and more than 10,000 people were sentenced to death.
Dozens of wealthy families were raided.
The remaining local wealthy families were afraid of Han Qi and stayed behind closed doors.
Chen Yaozi wrote a letter calling Han Qi a ruthless person.
Han Qi didn't care about this. Now, with the cooperation of the wealthy families in Hedong, he packed bags for the families of the soldiers and sent them to Liao to find their husbands, sons, and brothers.
Kou Ji knew Han Qi's temperament, so in the official document to Han Qi, he asked Han Qi to stop.
If Kou Ji didn't send official documents to Han Qi, Han Qi could kill all the rich and unkind wealthy people in Hedong.
Once the power is in hand, he will carry out his orders, which is Han Qi's style.
Since the imperial court sent him to kill people in Hedong to establish his prestige, he naturally wanted to establish his prestige.
What makes Kou Ji admire is that he killed more than 900 people in Hedong and implicated more than 10,000 people, but he did not gain any notoriety.
Now all Wanmin Umbrellas have been collected.
The local headmaster of Mengxue Mountain also submitted a letter to the court through the channel of Yizijiaozipu, boldly stating that the expenses for Mengxue next year would not be needed by the court in the land east of Hedong.
Han Dashan has already prepared it for them.
Now the only people impeaching Han Qi are some officials involved in the interests of wealthy families in Hedong, as well as some imperial censors and others.
The new censor, Zhongcheng Chen Yaozuo, and the censors of the Manchu Dynasty, madly criticized Han Qi's behavior of fishing for law enforcement.
Wang Zeng was even more dissatisfied with Han Qi's actions.
Wang Zeng roared in the hall: "Bao Zheng killed people, and the killings were justified. Those people were carrying human life lawsuits behind their backs. There is evidence every piece of evidence. They deserve to die."
Where is Han Qi?
It’s tempting to commit crimes, but it’s a waste of human life.”
Kou Ji said calmly: "But in the memorial handed over by the local government, Han Qi was praised for supporting thousands of families to become Buddhas, and Bao Zheng was described as a evil ghost with a black heart.
Could it be that the local people are blind?"
Wang Zeng said angrily: "That's because part of the money confiscated by Han Qi was distributed to the local government and bought people's hearts. Bao Zheng handed over all the money he had confiscated to the court.
You only saw the local general Han Qi praising and approving the birth of Buddhas in thousands of families, but couldn’t you see the civil and military officials of the DPRK yelling at Han Qi?"
Wang Zeng was right. The evaluations of Han Qi and Bao Zheng by the court and the people were completely at two extremes.
Han Qi received rave reviews from the public, but was criticized as a piece of shit in the DPRK.
Bao Zheng actually has good reviews among the people, but most of them are ordinary people, and those officials among the people are basically writing letters to impeach Bao Zheng.
There were also many officials in the court who had interests involved with the Jiangning Mansion to impeach Bao Zheng. However, Wang Zeng, Chen Yaozuo and other important officials felt that Bao Zheng acted in accordance with the rules and was a good official.
The important ministers of the court took the lead, and their disciples followed the old natural scenery, and some outsiders also praised Bao Zheng.
Therefore, Bao Zheng also received rave reviews in the court.
"Buy people's hearts?"
Kou Ji laughed and said: "What Wang Xiang said is a bit exaggerated. Han Qi just distributed some of the money that could not be turned over to the national treasury and distributed it to the elementary schools in various places in Hedong.
He has the right to leave part of his free money and put it into the local treasury to build bridges and roads and support orphans and widows.
He didn’t score a single point himself.”
Wang Zeng shouted: "By being generous to the court and letting the people say good things about him, doesn't it win people's hearts?"
Kou Ji asked back: "Then the officials from Hedong also said good things about him. How can we explain it? I'm afraid it can't be explained by saying that they feared him like a tiger?"
Scholars have character.
Are all the officials in Hedong just weaklings?
Besides, when Meng Xue was first established, it was indeed the imperial court that provided the money.
However, with the continuous development of elementary education, some local yamen have emerged one after another that take the initiative to bear the expenses.
For example, Su Xun, the prefect of Bohai Prefecture, used the rent from some public shops in the city of Bohai Prefecture to provide food, clothing, candles and other items for all the children in Bohai Prefecture.
They also held a sale of king fish, king ginseng and other seafood in Bohai Mansion to raise money needed for the education.
Now a letter has been submitted to the imperial court to cancel the funding for Bohai Prefecture’s elementary schools.
After this incident was reported, there was a chorus of praise from both the government and the public.
As the chief official of the land east of Hedong, Han Qi followed the example of Bohai Mansion and benefited the education of Mengxue in the land east of Hedong. This is good governance.
Such good governance should be greatly encouraged, but why is it just trying to win people's hearts?"
Wang Zeng glared and scolded: "I will treat this matter as if it has been revealed. Then how can you explain Han Qi's temptation to break the law and disregard human life in the land east of Hedong?"
Since Wang Zeng recovered from his illness, he has always been like this every time he talks to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji is really one of the top two.
Let's say he is looking for trouble.
Nor does it count.
Although Han Qi completed the errands assigned to him by the court, his methods were indeed somewhat inappropriate.
But Kou Ji didn't think Han Qi was taking human life lightly.
Because the wealthy families that Han Qi raided had committed other crimes besides looking for thieves to burn down Changpingcang.
Everyone is guilty of death.
Han Qi killed them and distributed their families, which was what he deserved.
You must know that Han Qi has fished out more than just dozens of wealthy families.
Han Qi followed Kou Ji's previous instructions and spared the lives of those who had not done any serious evil but who had been seduced by others. He only fined them some money.
The only thing Han Qi did wrong was fishing and law enforcement.
But in extraordinary times, extraordinary means are used.
Kou Ji needs to help Han Qi explain this matter clearly.
