Tang Shijin did not turn around to look at him, but continued coldly: "That place is a lapis lazuli mine. Twenty years ago, Chen Shiwu, the official secretary, slaughtered more than 120 people in Qingshi Village, old and young, in order to monopolize the mineral deposits.
, and this mine has been mined privately for 20 years, countless miners have died, more than a hundred people have bones that can be found, and there are countless others that cannot be found, and the bones are piled up, just like a hell on earth, it is hard for me to imagine that there is such a thing in the world.
Such a tragic thing happened, that there was such a heartless and crazy person... And this person actually occupied such a high position, ranking in the court... How can there be any justice in heaven!?"
Tang Shijin handed over the memorial with both hands: "Your Highness, all the bones have been inspected, and the captured people have confessed. This matter is beyond doubt. I also ask Your Highness to kill this animal as soon as possible to set the course for our Daqing Dynasty, so as to comfort the souls of these innocent people in heaven."
"
Yan Baiwei took the fold, scanned it quickly, then closed the fold and said directly: "Come here! Take it!"
Chen Shiwu's face was ashen, but he didn't say a word or defend himself.
The Yulin army rushed in like flying and took him down.
Yan Baiwei said again: "Jin'er."
Tang Shijin responded subconsciously, and Yan Baiwei said: "Chen Shiwu is escorted back to your place for interrogation. You ask the police to arrest all the Chen family members and continue to investigate the illegal things committed by the Chen family."
In the Tang Dynasty, Jin Dao said: "I obey the decree."
Yan Baiwei said again: "Three Law Division."
The Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple all stepped forward to accept the promise. Yan Baiwei said again: "Taozhifeng, Chen Jianru, and Wang Xunshi."
The three people also stepped forward to accept the promise.
Yan Baiwei said: "All the ministers will go with me. If the rest of you have any urgent matters, please report them to the Prime Minister and withdraw from the court!"
At this moment, Chen Mansion.
Chen Qiang is still dreaming of writing an article to turn himself around.
Since Tao Chengqi reappeared, his life has been really difficult. He used to have a few close friends who would occasionally meet up, but now, almost no one dares to accept his posts.
He was indeed guilty at first, but gradually he became a little angry.
He always felt that he was forced. Who in this world is not afraid of death? He was coerced by Wang Zhi and wrote that letter. This was not his intention, so why was he so reluctant?
So he was thinking that he would write an article to prove himself and reveal his true feelings. If someone accused him again, he would find a few people to arrest him and see if he really dared to face life and death!
But although the idea was good, the article... was written and torn, torn and written, but could not be written.
While I was racking my brains writing, there was a sudden noise outside and it didn't stop for a while.
Chen Qiang was annoyed and pushed open the door and shouted: "What are you making! Don't you know, Master, I am writing an article? Can you bear to interrupt my thoughts..." His face suddenly changed, and he could see it.
Someone rushed in and cut off his hands as fast as he could.
Yu Zhifei sneered and said: "I'm really sorry, then please ask Mr. Chen to go to the prison and write it slowly!"
Chen Qiang panicked and said anxiously: "What happened! Where is my father!"
Yu Zhifei ignored him and Chen Qiang was pulled out. When he saw that the old lady and his wife were tied up tightly and thrown to the ground, his heart went cold and he collapsed on the ground.
It's over, it must be a serious crime, and it must be a serious crime that cannot be rectified! Otherwise, it would not be this way!
But no matter what they thought, they were still dragged into prison.
There were also two hundred Jinyi guards who went out of the city overnight to arrest Chen Shiwu's eldest son, Chen Kang.
This move made a great noise, and the police escorts were very rude along the way. Many people who were not high enough to go to court asked others. People from the Hanlin Academy also gathered around Tang Liansheng to ask, but Tang Liansheng didn't know it in the first place, and he
If you are not from the General Investigation Factory, even if you know about it, you can't say anything!
Tao Chengqi came back with Tang Shijin.
He had no official position now and was a scholar. Tang Shijin just wanted him to see more of "state affairs", not to do anything, so when he came back, he took him back directly.
After Tao Chengqi came back, he took up his pen and wrote a long poem in one go.
Zeng Sigu came back to see him. He just glanced at him, and then he stood there and looked at her motionless for a long time.
This is a poem that cannot be described as "good".
The strong emotions in this poem are like the beating of war drums, the sound of thunder, and the crazy attack... It seems to pull you into the scene, allowing you to see with your own eyes the brutality of the massacre of the village, and the sound in your ears.
With a shrill wail, the people in front of me fell one by one. "I" desperately tried to rush forward to stop it. When I passed through it again and again, I realized that it was already too late...
Twenty years ago, the loess was stained with blood, and twenty years later, there were piles of bones, painted with a touch of blue. It was so brilliant and magnificent, but at a glance, it was all bloody. Countless human lives were there, making people want to swear,
I will never paint landscapes again in this life...
So when others asked what happened, Zeng Sigu took the poem over and sighed: "It's in the poem."
Everyone who saw it was silent.
But this poem still spreads rapidly like a plague.
After Tang Shijin saw it, he felt his heart aching. Halfway through, he couldn't help but slap it on the table. He read it three times in a row before he could finish it.
In terms of national affairs, letting Tao Chengqi go is definitely the wisest decision, because he can really make people "feel the same" and "see it with their own eyes" with his pen, which can even be said to be better than what they see with their own eyes.
But she was also thinking, would it be a good thing for him to see so many dark sides?
She has never been so entangled in doing things in her two lives.
She went over and looked at Tao Chengqi. Tao Chengqi's entire state looked... like a warrior who was raising his arms and shouting.
After just one glance, her heart suddenly dropped.
Well, this is the last time. She will never underestimate her sixth brother again. She wants to do something, but doesn’t he want to do it? He is a great man. Doesn’t he want to serve the country and serve the country?
Serving the people and lasting forever?
More than ten days later, Yan Baiwei and his party returned to the capital.
The young and old of Qingshi Village buried him under the Yangzhai, closed the village, and held seven or forty-nine days of prayer meetings to comfort the deceased.
As for the people in the mine, most of the bones could not be identified, so they could only be buried together and pray for them in the same way.
The miners who were lucky enough to survive all canceled their slave registrations, built charity halls, and asked doctors to treat them. No medical treatment was required until they were cured. After they were cured, each person could receive fifty taels of silver to settle down, and two acres of farmland of their choice from each place.
All this money came from the income of the Chen family after the house was confiscated.
Any interfering criminals were taken back to the capital for trial.
At the same time, I specially ordered Tao Chengqi to write this poem and engraved it on a stele here to record this incident and warn the world.
After returning, he received a special order from Emperor Yuan Sheng. In order to cherish his talent, he specially appointed a member of the "Zheng Tingshi", a fourth-rank official, and appointed Tao Chengqi to be in charge of major matters in the General Police Factory and the Third Law Department.
When it comes to important matters, if you are good at writing to put things in perspective, you can usually do things easily.
What is this called? This is called being a teacher with a reputation! This is called speaking out according to orders!
