Butler Zhang, who originally believed that he was certain to die, seemed a little unable to believe his ears when he heard Xiao Chen's words.
Is this Xiao Chen deliberately saving his own life?
However, Butler Zhang's face did not show too much excitement.
It is Butler Zhang's responsibility to know every property of the Ouyang family. The reason why he is willing to help Xiao Chen clean up the property of the Ouyang family is just because he does not want these ownerless properties to fall into the hands of others.
However, if he is specially pardoned for this reason, it will inevitably leave a reputation in Yizhou City as a seller seeking glory.
However, if this is not done, the omitted properties will fall into the hands of others because no one is taking care of them, and the Ouyang family will become a joke in Yizhou City.
Thinking of this, Butler Zhang smiled bitterly and shook his head gently.
As if he had read through Butler Zhang's thoughts, Xiao Chen glanced at Lan Liqun, the magistrate of Yizhou who had been kneeling on the ground, and said: "Butler Zhang, there is no need to worry too much. The Ouyang family has reached this point only because of Master Ouyang's hand.
Caused. You are all victims."
"Confiscating the Ouyang family's property can be regarded as mitigating the crimes they committed. Butler Zhang can just let it go and register it."
"Okay, I will definitely assist you in registering and selling off all the properties of the Ouyang family." Butler Zhang saluted Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen nodded and looked at Duan Tianming: "Tianming, you go and finish this matter."
"Yes." Duan Tianming responded and led Butler Zhang out of the government office lobby.
After watching the two people go away, Xiao Chen lowered his head and looked at Lan Liqun, who had been kneeling on the ground: "Master Lan, tell me, should your Yizhou City guards be reorganized?"
"Yes, Mr. Xiao said it should be sorted out, so it should be reorganized." Lan Liqun agreed.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly: "What do you mean I should tidy up when I say it should be tidied up? If you don't realize it yourself, should these guards be replaced?"
"Change positions? Where do you plan to transfer them?" Lan Liqun was stunned. Could it be that the positions of these guards and yamen servants were exchanged?
Hearing Lan Liqun ask himself this question, Xiao Chen couldn't help but shook his head. Compared with Butler Zhang, Lan Liqun not only lacked responsibility and position, but also had a bad mind. I really don't know how he achieved the position of knowing the state.
Up.
"Where else will they be transferred? Can you, Mr. Lan, ask this? They bully the people, charge money in various names, and treat the people of Yizhou as their money tree. Shouldn't they be punished?" Xiao Chen asked coldly.
road.
Raising his head and looking at Xiao Chen's serious and cold face, Lan Liqun suddenly realized.
It turned out that Xiao Chen collected the more than 200,000 taels of silver without saying a word, not because he wanted to enrich himself. He was keeping it in mind for himself.
After dealing with the Ouyang family's affairs, it was his turn to deal with Yizhou Prefectural Government. He thought that more than 200,000 taels of silver bought Xiao Chen and turned a blind eye. It was just his own wishful thinking.
"Yes, they must be punished. They go against the people everywhere, use the power in their hands to plunder the people's wealth, and commit an unforgivable crime. This is also closely related to the management failure of the subordinates. I hope Mr. Xiao can deal with it.
When they come, we will handle it together with the lower officials." Lan Liqun fell to the ground again and kowtowed to Xiao Chen.
"Alas." Xiao Chen sighed as he stared at the servile Lan Liqun, "Lan Liqun, I don't know if you are really smart or pretending to be smart. Do you think everyone is a fool? Do you know this about you?
Is this self-righteous cleverness the culprit that brought you to where you are today?"
"There is no fool in this world. Don't dream that your IQ can crush others. Shops throughout Yizhou City are charging fees. Without your nod, how dare the guards do this? You, if you feel that you are very
If you are smart, you can deceive people all over the world, and that is the beginning of you becoming stupid."
"Originally, I just wanted to deal with your crimes on a matter-of-fact basis, but when I saw your hypocritical face, I really couldn't help but want to warn you. You are already old, so don't live longer.
The more we go back, the more we end up living worse than a dog."
"Remember, how you treat others will be how others treat you. Even if the Ouyang family head has the entire family in prison, Butler Zhang has never said a bad word about him and is unwilling to do anything that would disgrace the Ouyang family. You
Think about it for yourself, why is this?"
"Think about it again. If you are as smart as Lan Liqun, if you were imprisoned, would anyone in Yizhou Prefecture Government treat you like this? Will anyone stand up and completely expose your crime?"
"In life, you can't be smart, but you can't be clever."
After saying these words, Xiao Chen raised his head with a hint of pity on his face.
These people who think that their IQ completely crushes others, don't they know that they are the saddest wretches in the world?
Lan Liqun raised his head, his eyes a little confused.
What does Mr. Xiao mean by lecturing him like this? He just wants to shirk responsibility and avoid punishment. Is this wrong?
Everyone has the thought of coveting life and fearing death, and not everyone can face death calmly. I finally became the governor of Yizhou, so what happened to being greedy for a little money? How many people in the past dynasties can live a truly honest life?
I'm not a three-year-old child. I have something to talk about. Do you need to teach me how to behave like this?
"Lan Liqun, during your tenure as the magistrate of Yizhou, if you have violated any imperial laws, please do it yourself." With his back to Lan Liqun, Xiao Chen didn't even want to look at him.
"Mr. Xiao, besides failing to manage his subordinates well, I really don't know what else to do." Lan Liqun continued to quibble without shame.
"Hahaha, you are really stubborn and self-righteous." Xiao Chen suddenly turned around, left a shadow in the air with his right foot, and kicked Lan Liqun in the face.
"Ah..." With a scream, Lan Liqun's whole body was kicked away.
It hit the wall of the lobby and bounced to the ground.
The cheekbones on Lan Liqun's face had been shattered by Xiao Chen's kick, and his entire face was as swollen as a freshly baked bun.
Covering his face with both hands, Lan Liqun did not dare to cry out even though his face was burning with pain. A pair of eyes looked at Xiao Chen in horror, at a loss.
"My kick does not represent Dongchang, it only represents me personally. I have never seen such a shameless person like you. Are you dissatisfied when I hit you?"
Looking at Lan Liqun, Xiao Chen said coldly.
The cheekbones on his face were broken. Even if Lan Liqun wanted to speak, he couldn't. He could only keep shaking his head.
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes: "What, you still don't accept it?"
Then he looked at the captain on the side and said, "Pull this man out. Since he is shameless, take off his face."
