Chapter 507 The Holy Majesty's Rebuke

Jin's servant looked at Li Yuan, hesitant.

but.

When Li Yuan spoke, his servant Jin had to listen.

Immediately, Jin's servant nodded and replied: "Master, my disciples are all in their hometown, so I'll write to let them go to Xixiang to have a look."

"Then write quickly." Li Yuan was a little anxious.

Jin's servant had to go to write a letter.

After a while.

Jin's servant took the letter and handed it to a guard.

After receiving the letter and some words, the guards left Li Zhuang on horseback and went to Chang'an City before dawn the next day.

The letter got out.

And it was the official post, which was extremely fast.

It is said that if ordinary people want to go to the official post, and they still need to go urgently, it must be impossible.

Don't say anything urgent, you can't even touch the side of the official post.

It must be no problem if Jin's servant wants to go to the official post, and he also needs to take an urgent post.

According to estimates, it will take several days for the letter to go to Jiangnan West Road.

This is still an urgent shipment.

If it was replaced by ordinary letters, it would probably take half a month.

in the palace.

Wang Li quickly came to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, there is news that there seems to be a letter from the Supreme Emperor."

"Oh? Where is the letter going?" Li Shimin raised his head to look at Wang Li after hearing the sound.

Wang Li responded respectfully: "It seems to be going to Jiangnan West Road. According to my servant's guess, the letter may be going to the hometown of Jin Neishi."

Li Shimin was puzzled.

The letter went to Jiangnan West Road, and it was still sent to the hometown of Jin Naishi, which really made him puzzled what his father was going to do.

but.

It never occurred to him to intercept his father's letters.

"Have someone follow you to see who the recipient of the letter is." Li Shimin didn't think about intercepting Li Yuan's letter, so he ordered Wang Li to follow him.

After Wang Li got the words, he nodded in response, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Have you delivered the letter I asked you to send yesterday?" Li Shimin stopped thinking about his father, and asked about yesterday's incident.

Wang Li nodded, "It has already been sent to Xixiang, and it will only take two days to reach Xixiang."

After thinking for a while, Li Shimin stopped talking and continued to deal with his official duties.

After a few days.

Li Chongyuan, who is far away in Xixiang, has been busy again these two days.

but.

The official circles in the counties of Yangzhou were chaotic and confused.

From top to bottom, there are not many good officials.

and.

According to the interrogation reports of his subordinates, Li Chongyuan felt more and more that the entire officialdom in Yangzhou was darkened.

From top to bottom, layer upon layer of exploitation.

In other words, the tax is much higher than that stipulated by the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

and.

Under Yao Kong's interrogation and the people's complaints, more disgusting things happened one after another.

What about forcing your mother into prostitution can only be said to be a trivial matter.

Even vicious death incidents, the case file has already been opened several feet high.

At this time, Li Chongyuan brought Xingba to the prison of the state government office, "Bie Zheng, you have only been working in Yangzhou for five years. In five years, you have made tens of thousands of coins. For you My son opened a restaurant, a brothel, and a place to play money, and he even collaborated with the local clan to lend money, cooperate with various officials, and raise taxes. Do you know that based on these things, you have to ransack the family and exterminate the family?"

"Haha. Now that I, Zheng Qiang, are in your hands, what kind of charges do you want to accuse me? Isn't that just a matter of one sentence? I, Zheng Qiang, have never heard of the things you said, and I have never heard of them. Touched hands. If you, Li Chongyuan, want to copy my Zheng family, then you have to have real evidence. You want to kill people, but you forget that I am the imperial court. Even if you really want to If you want me, Zheng Qiang, to fall to the ground, it seems impossible for you right now." After listening to Li Chongyuan's words, Zheng Qiang burst out laughing.

And what he said directly denied the problems that Li Chongyuan had been interrogating over the past few days.

Li Chongyuan has no authority to kill him.

There is no authority to judge him.

Li Chongyuan really didn't have the qualifications and authority to judge a high-ranking official under the fifth rank, and it was even more impossible to cut him down drastically.

At least.

Li Chongyuan had to go through a lot of procedural matters.

the first.

To list the crimes well, you have to make him plead guilty.

Second, it will be reported to the imperial court, and the imperial court will decide whether to kill or exile.

A supervisory censor would have broken the rules if he arrested someone, let alone what Zheng Qiang was referring to.

Li Chongyuan listened to Zheng Qiang's words, with hatred flashing in his eyes.

Li Chongyuan also knew that Zheng Qiang was telling the truth, and he had no authority to kill him, but Li Chongyuan suddenly said with a sinister smile: "Bie Zheng, you are right, I can't judge you, and I can't kill you, let alone kill you." I can’t copy your Zheng family. However, I can abolish you and your animal-like son. As far as I know, your Zheng family is the only seedling of Zheng Tong. You say he has made so many animals. It shouldn’t be a problem for me to let him be a eunuch again, hahahaha.”

After Li Chongyuan finished speaking, he got up directly and continued to laugh.

"You dare, Li Chongyuan, if you dare to do that despicable thing to my son, my Zheng family will never let you go." Zheng Qiang was furious after hearing Li Chongyuan's words.

Zheng Qiang, in anger, roared again and again, hysterical.

but.

At this moment, Li Chongyuan walked towards the outside of the prison, ignoring Zheng Qiang's roar.

Li Chongyuan, who came to the side of the prison, looked at a subordinate official, "Do you know what to do? You are also a strange flower in the state government. Others are trying to get some benefits for themselves. If you want to get involved, you are welcome to be alone in this devil's lair. Yes, I hope you will still stick to your beliefs in the next few decades."

The subordinate didn't answer, but nodded heavily.

The subordinate official's name is Tan Wei, and he is 35 or six years old.

How about Tan Wei, just as Li Chongyuan said.

In this Yangzhou government office, it is really a very special flower.

Others can make money however they want, they all follow Zheng Qiang's lead, and they all wish to become Zheng Qiang's godson.

But he is fine.

He didn't get any money, but only took his share of salary to maintain his family's expenses.

originally.

Tan Weiben was the head of Sicang Cao.

Sicang Caotou is a team leader in charge of money, rice, grain and property.

Speaking of it, it belongs to a clerical position, but it is not popular.

It does not belong to officials, only to officials.

Sicang Caotou's salary is not low, and it is enough for the family's expenses, and he can live a very comfortable life.

But since Zheng Qiang came to Yangzhou to take the post, Tan Wei didn't want to follow others, so naturally, he was marginalized by Zheng Qiang.

He even directly dismissed him as Sicang Caotou, and became a small official who cleaned the latrines in the state government office.

And he did this for four years.

Four years later, people are still so wonderful.

He didn't leave, and didn't make a sound.

Even though he was humiliated and abused by Zheng Qiang and other officials, and even received a severe beating, Tan Wei did not choose to leave.

but.

Li Chongyuan can understand.

Whether in Yangzhou, or in Xixiang County.

As long as he offended Zheng Qiang, he would offend the entire officialdom.

Even if you choose to leave and go back home to do a small business to survive, it is probably not enough.

Li Chongyuan put down his words, and Tan Wei took the instructions.

As soon as Li Chongyuan left the prison, Tan Wei's face suddenly showed a stern look. He casually grabbed a wooden stick from the side of the prison and walked into the prison.

After a while.

When Tan Weiyi entered the prison, there was a sound of anger and laughter in the prison, "Zheng Tong, I didn't expect that. I have been waiting for a day like today for three years. Three years, you know I am How did you get over here? Hahahaha, God has eyes, finally let me, Tan Wei, see you go to prison, hahahaha."

"What are you going to do, what are you going to do. Your daughter's death is none of my business, really none of my business, don't come here, don't come here." At this time, Zheng Tong's eyes were full of panic.

He knew what Tan Wei was here for.

He also knew that today he was sent to prison, and no one could save him.

The ferocious look on Tan Wei's face at this moment has made Zheng Tong terrified.

Holding a stick, Tan Wei pressed against Zheng Tong. Tears suddenly filled his face, "Xi'er, you saw it, you saw it, my father is going to avenge you. For three years, my father has been waiting for this opportunity. Now finally come."

Pain, sadness, anger.

At this moment, Tan Wei had a different look on his face.

And following his words, a moment later.

A scream came from a dark room in the prison.

And this time.

Li Chongyuan, who had already left, suddenly returned with Xingba.

When Li Chongyuan heard this scream, his brows were relaxed, "This man, you still have to vent the sadness in your heart. If you keep suppressing it, you might collapse one day."

"Xiao Langjun, if you do this, it will be difficult for you if the court intervenes." Xingba on the side reminded in a low voice.

Li Chongyuan looked at Xingba, then turned his head to look into the prison, and sighed: "Oh!!! It's hard, it won't be easy since I made the decision. Besides, Tan Wei's daughter died three years ago. He died at the hands of Zheng Tong before, if Tan Wei doesn't let out the grief and anger in his heart, it will be difficult for me to use him."

Li Chongyuan came to the prison today, bringing that subordinate Tan Wei with him, naturally there was a purpose.

otherwise.

Li Chongyuan would not have come to this filthy prison on purpose.

Just a few days ago, when Yao Kong was interrogating the case, he learned about Tan Wei and told Li Chongyuan directly about it.

Li Chongyuan has been thinking about the official affairs of the state government and the county government recently, and after finding out that there is such a person, he immediately took his heart.

There is a saying.

From the state government office to the county government office, all business affairs have stopped. If it continues, Li Chongyuan doesn't know how to end this turmoil.

The whole of Yangzhou.

Up and down, [-]% of the officials have major problems.

For the remaining [-]%, although there are no major problems, there are also many minor problems.

So many officials have problems, Li Chongyuan will naturally not let anyone go, arrest first and then try.

No problem, let it go naturally.

For small problems, after explaining clearly, they will be locked up for a few more days, compared with other people's confessions, or after asking the people, they will be released only after there are really no major problems.

And the remaining [-]% of the officials.

As long as it is a big problem, Li Chongyuan will be thrown directly into the prison of the state government or county government, and you will beg grandpa to sue grandma.

There were constant screams in the prison.

As for Li Chongyuan outside the prison, after hearing the screams inside, the hairs on his body also exploded, feeling very creepy.

And right now.

Le Dao came running from a distance, "Xiao Langjun, someone from Chang'an is here, you should hurry back to the yamen."

"Who is here? So fast!" Li Chongyuan was surprised when he heard the words.

Although I have been stirring up Xixiang for some days, it has only been less than ten days.

In less than ten days, someone came from Chang'an.

Li Chongyuan suddenly felt that Li Shimin got the news too quickly.

Le Dao worriedly said: "Mr. Xiaolang, I don't think that person is a servant, but he looks like a person from the army. As for who it is, it's hard for me to ask him."

Li Chongyuan didn't think about it anymore, and took a few people back to the yamen.

After Li Chongyuan returned to the yamen, a man saw Li Chongyuan, he was not polite, and he didn't talk nonsense, he directly took out a letter and handed it to Li Chongyuan, "Li Yushi, the holy hand."

Li Chongyuan took the letter with a dull look.

As soon as the letter was received, the man turned around and left, which made Li Chongyuan even more inexplicable.

Li Chongyuan shook his head when he saw that the visitor left directly and disappeared in a blink of an eye, opened the letter and began to read it.

Following Li Chongyuan's viewing, a burst of anger suddenly came up.

"What is this called? What is it that I don't want to meddle too much in the affairs of Yangzhou? What does it mean that I, the supervisory censor, only supervise and ignore things as much as possible? You think I want to take care of it. You give me the official position of the supervisory censor , Don’t you just want me to touch Yangzhou. This is good, when I do it, you will kill everything, what do you think I am.” After reading the letter, Li Chongyuan was very angry.

Xing Ba looked sideways at the letter in Li Chongyuan's hand, and shook his head accordingly.

At this time, Li Chongyuan became more and more angry when he thought about it.

I can't wait to go directly to Chang'an Palace City and ask Li Shimin face to face.

When Li Chongyuan continued to look down, his anger became more and more intense.

Throughout the letter, it was all about Li Chongyuan's fault.

Think twice about what you do, and don't mess up the court and Yangzhou.

more than this.

He also yelled at Li Chongyuan as a pig, making the incident in Yangzhou known to all courts, and said that after Li Chongyuan returned to Chang'an, let's see how he dealt with Li Chongyuan.

At this time, Li Chongyuan really wanted to cry but had no tears.

"You sat on that temple, and waved your big hand steadily, showing your emperor's ability to slap Fang Qiu. I became your thug and settled the matter of Yangzhou for you. Things are done, I didn’t get a single good word, and there were a lot of reprimands, so I really think that Li Chongyuan has lost his temper.” Li Chongyuan complained endlessly.
