Datang Nongwang

Chapter 608
Li Chongyuan looked at Zhu Shengzhi, "Biejia Zhu, according to the laws of my Tang country, how should county magistrate Ye and others be punished?"

Zhu Shengzhi didn't expect that Li Chongyuan would ask himself about this matter.

Although Li Chongyuan is already in the half-term stage at this moment, Li Chongyuan has the right to judge and punish according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

But he, Zhu Shengzhi, felt that Li Chongyuan was slapping him in the face when he asked him that.

Immediately.

There was a trace of anger on Zhu Shengzhi's face, but after the anger passed, he could only helplessly, "Inspector Li, according to the laws of our Tang Dynasty, the magistrate of Ye County was resigned to the post of magistrate of Xixiang County, and his wife Sun Jiao was exiled. For a thousand miles, his younger brother was exiled for two thousand miles."

Zhu Shengzhi was very familiar with the matter of sentencing and punishment, so he didn't even need to ask the subordinate officials in charge of punishment, he just said it directly.

And as soon as Zhu Shengzhi's words fell to the ground, Ye Wen became very decadent.

although.

He already knew that his end would never be good.

But he managed to find a post of county magistrate, even the county magistrate of Xixiang was only a seventh-rank official post, but for Ye Wen, this was already a rare high post.

As long as it takes a few years, it is not impossible for a magistrate to go to the county.

But right now.

Everything will be empty.

On the other hand, Sun Li in the hall, upon hearing Zhu Shengzhi's words, burst into tears, "Forgive me, I won't dare again, I won't dare again."

"Go and bring me Sun Jiao. The wife of County Magistrate Ye is really a good wife. I really want to meet this person who sits behind the scenes and handles important affairs." Li Chongyuan gave the order directly regardless of what Sun Li said. .

After hearing this, all the yamen servants didn't know who to listen to. They looked at Zhu Shengzhi and saw that Zhu Shengzhi didn't respond, so they had to leave the yamen hall to fetch someone.

The Xixiang County Government Office is not far from the State Government Office.

On the same street, the distance between them is less than two miles.

Soon.

Then Sun Jiao was brought over by the Yacha.

As soon as Sun Jiao was taken to the state government office, she knew that she was done for, "Shangguan, Shangguan, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

"You are Sun Jiao, the wife of County Magistrate Ye. I thought you were so tall and thick, but you are just a delicate woman." The first time Li Chongyuan met Ye Wen's wife, he found that Sun Jiao was not strong. It is not an exaggeration to describe her as delicate.

He is less than 1.6 meters tall, thin, and looks good.

Judging from Sun Jiao's appearance, it was impossible to see why this woman could influence Ye Wen's thoughts.

But come on.

Li Chongyuan didn't know about Ye Wen's family affairs, he didn't even know how Ye Wen started his family and became the county magistrate.

Seeing Li Chongyuan say this about her, Sun Jiao became more pleading, "Shangguan, my concubine is Sun Jiao. Shangguan, my concubine is willing to make amends, willing to make amends."

Sun Jiao is not stupid, it can be said that she is very smart.

She knew that her younger brother had been arrested, and her husband was sitting paralyzed by the side. She knew that the current situation was not something she could change.

and.

She also knew that as long as she lowered her head, she might be able to get Li Chongyuan's forgiveness.

"Atonement? What do you get for atonement? Do you know that because of your insatiable greed, the people of Yangzhou have suffered from chaff for a few days. Do you know that my reputation, Li Chongyuan, has been damaged because of your brother and sister? Huge damage. Tell yourself how much money and food you have been greedy for. And how many bad things you have done in the past ten months relying on your identity as the magistrate of Ye County. You had better invite them truthfully, otherwise, this The official will be served with a severe punishment." Li Chongyuan would not show mercy just because Sun Jiao was frail.

If you dare to covet Li Chongyuan's money, you must have the consciousness of being arrested.

Come on.

months ago.

If Sun Li ran away, Li Chongyuan really had nothing to do with her, Sun Jiao.

Unexpectedly, after Li Chongyuan temporarily returned to Chang'an, the siblings were so bold and reckless that they turned a corner and returned to Xixiang.

In these few months.

Sun Li even kept talking about Li Chongyuan, but he didn't dare to talk about his Sun family.

All right now.

Li Chongyuan returned to Xixiang again in the name of governor of Yangzhou, and took Sun Li even more.

If the siblings can still escape, then it is Li Chongyuan's problem.

When Sun Jiao and her brother heard that Li Chongyuan said that they would be tortured and waited on, they backed away in fright, looked at Li Chongyuan in horror, and frequently cast glances at her husband Ye Wen for help.

And this time.

Ye Wen has no intention of paying attention to his wife, and he doesn't even know if he can survive today.

The case went quickly.

It was so fast that even Li Chongyuan couldn't believe it.

of course.

This was also due to the fact that Li Chongyuan collected questions about the Sun siblings when he asked people to investigate Ye Wen's affairs.

This is not.

The big sentence has not yet been imposed, and the two brothers and sisters have been recruited truthfully.

After Li Chongyuan listened to the confessions of the two, he sneered, "Sun Jiao, I really didn't expect that your appetite is quite big. The servants and clerks are all your people. You really think that this Xixiang County is Your Sun's family can't open it. Don't think that if your Sun's family makes a recorder, this official will open it up."

"Inspector Li, the lower official is guilty." After the two Sun siblings confessed, Zhu Shengzhi did not expect that the hands of the two siblings were really stretched long enough.

It's okay to exploit the guards, even the money and food of the city defense army.

And there is no need to talk about the Fangshi money in Xixiang County.

Even more.

Sun Jiao also asked his younger brother and the head of the yamen she arranged to go to various shops to collect head money every month.

From the first few months before Ye Wen took office, there was no movement, but after Ye Wen took office a few months later, the Sun siblings have been collecting money for almost half a year.

This also made Zhu Shengzhi, the other driver, start to get scared and nervous.

If Li Chongyuan pursued it, don't say that he is not good at it, it is estimated that as soon as Li Chongyuan handed over the memorial to Chang'an, he, Zhu Shengzhi, would have already done it.

to this end.

After Zhu Shengzhi heard the words, he quickly expressed his attitude to Li Chongyuan, admitted his mistake, and hoped that Li Chongyuan would look at his attitude and not write to the court.

Li Chongyuan looked at Zhu Shengzhi, then at Ye Wen, who was sitting paralyzed by the side, then looked at the two Sun siblings in the hall, and said angrily: "Sun Jiao, just now you said that you want to make amends, how are you going to make amends?" ?”

"Shangguan, the guilty concubine is willing to make amends. I will take out all the money and food, and dare not hide any more." Sun Jiao was afraid, and also afraid.

Li Chongyuan smiled, "According to the money you are greedy for, I estimated that you have [-] guan, and the price of food and other things is at least [-] guan. This amount, you two brothers and sisters can agree ?”

Li Chongyuan directly set the number.

Forty thousand coins.

If you admit it, then redeem it according to the amount of money.

If you don't recognize it, it's easy, just follow the process.

Search Sun's house, and then punish.

As soon as Li Chongyuan's words came out, Sun Jiao immediately rolled her eyes and passed out.

After Sun Li heard Li Chongyuan's words, although he was terrified, he knew that as long as he could use the [-] yuan to make atonement, he might be able to avoid his guilt.

"Small ones, small ones." Sun Li agreed.

Li Chongyuan waved his hand at Xing Ba, signaling Xing Ba to wake up Sun Jiao.

Xingba got a basin of water and poured it directly on Sun Jiao's head.

In an instant, Sun Jiao was woken up by the cold water, and howled, "Ah!!! Shangguan, I admit it, I admit it. The guilty concubine is willing to make amends, willing to make amends."

Sun Jiao cried.

Forty thousand coins, this is not the money that the two siblings are greedy for at all.

How much money their siblings have been greedy for, they are very clear in their hearts, and they know it clearly.

The money, food and other things that the two were greedy for would never exceed four thousand coins.

But Li Chongyuan directly increased it by ten times to [-] guan. Anyone who heard this number would faint from fright.

As far as her grandson's family is concerned, it is basically hopeless if they want to take out the [-] yuan.

That is, there is no title and no official status.

Even if Sun Jiao's father had worked as a recorder before, if he was not greedy, if he wanted to spend such a large amount of money, he would have to sell himself.

None of the officials in the hall could speak at this moment, not even Zhu Shengzhi.

Li Chongyuan said as much as he said.

after all.

The supervision is unfavorable, which has made them bear the responsibility. Who would dare to stand up and say that Li Chongyuan is a lion at this time.

"It's fine if you admit it. Now that you admit it, you can put it on the pledge. The money for atonement cannot be less, as long as there is one less penny, then the official will have to punish you according to Tang law. However, sins can be redeemed." , but the responsibility is unavoidable. From today, Sun Li will be removed from the post of subordinate official, and Ye Heng will be removed from the post of yamen servant. Anyone who participates in the affairs between you will be sent to hard labor. He When the money for atonement is delivered, you will be exempted from hard labor." Li Chongyuan didn't ask others any more, and came directly to close the case.

When Sun Jiao and the others heard that they were going to be sent to labor, they wanted to fight, but they didn't dare to say the words.

This result is already considered the best.

If he continued to fight, it might arouse Li Chongyuan's anger.

Li Chongyuan looked at Ye Wen, who was sitting paralyzed by the side, and said with a long sigh: "Magistrate Ye, because of your unfavorable discipline, the people in Yangzhou have been harmed, and my official is also among them. Therefore, I decided to treat you Your position as county magistrate will be adjusted, and you will temporarily be the acting county magistrate of Xixiang County for a period of three years. In a few days, I will submit a letter to the imperial court. If you pass the government affairs within these three years, I will reapply at that time File a letter to the imperial court to restore your post as county magistrate."

Li Chongyuan can be regarded as a good talker.

As for the matter of the Sun siblings, it was considered lenient.

As for the county magistrate Ye Wen, Li Chongyuan couldn't go any further.

Yangzhou had been messed up by Li Chongyuan last year. Moreover, before Li Chongyuan came to take office, Li Shimin had also confessed that the government affairs should be straight, but they just can't mess around.

Also really.

Yangzhou can no longer be chaotic, no matter how chaotic, no one will do this official.

and so.

Although Li Chongyuan had different ideas in his heart, he still had to deal with it according to the current emperor Li Shimin's ideas. Otherwise, Li Chongyuan would have to get rid of all these people just for this matter.

If you dare to covet your own money and food, you are courting death.

Now that the verdict has been made, the Sun siblings were brought down directly.

Simultaneously.

Under the leadership of Xiang Ba, the yamen of the state yamen went directly to the county yamen, along with Ye Wen, the magistrate of Ye County.

what to do.

Of course, it was to investigate the people who had connections with the Sun sisters and brothers, and at the same time, it was also to search the property of the Sun brothers and sisters.

After the people were taken away, all the officials got up one after another and bowed their hands to Li Chongyuan, "Li Cishi is really a man of great virtue, I am not as good as Li Cishi."

just now.

All the officials present were stunned for a long time.

As far as Li Chongyuan's punishment was concerned, it was the first time they had seen each other.

Of course, some people were thinking in their hearts that Li Chongyuan must be doing it for money.

otherwise.

How could the Sun siblings and Ye Wen, the county magistrate of Xixiang, be spared so easily?

Even several officials of the Xixiang County Government were hoping that Li Chongyuan would dismiss Ye Wen as the county magistrate. If so, they would have a chance to be in charge.

Things have changed, which makes those officials who hold expectations feel hopeless.

"Everyone, you are welcome. I am an official for the people. I, Li Chongyuan, have suffered a little bit of grievance. Zhu Biejia, after the money from the Sun brothers and sisters is in place, I will go directly to the state government's treasury. The money has to be used Yu Yangzhou. If anyone dares to touch a penny in it, I, Li Chongyuan, will not be as soft as I am today." Li Chongyuan stood up and cupped his hands in reply.

At the same time, this eye inspected all the officials.

Forty thousand.

With such a huge amount of wealth, some people must have small thoughts in their hearts.

And Li Chongyuan directly put his words here, in order to prevent the corruption of ink from happening again.

When the officials saw that Li Chongyuan put down his harsh words, they did not dare to say it again and again.

However, Zhu Shengzhi was a little afraid to take up this job, "Li Inspector, I think it is better for Li Inspector to take charge of such a huge amount of money in the state government treasury. Besides, Li Inspector, you use it He used his own money to repair the foreign waters, and the money would be more effective in the hands of Governor Li."

Li Chongyuan laughed after hearing this.

Forty thousand coins, for others, that is definitely a huge fortune.

Zhu Shengzhi didn't dare to take up the job, and even turned it down to Li Chongyuan directly, because he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the temptation and cut off his own future.

Li Chongyuan understood it clearly, and nodded lightly, "Forget it. In two days, all the subordinate officials in the state yamen will let me have a look, and I will see who is suitable to be one of the subordinate officials in this warehouse. By the way, Zhu Biejia, how about the repairs in Yangzhou?"

Li Chongyuan's question made Zhu Shengzhi's heart tense again.

As long as it was about foreign water repairs, Zhu Shengzhi was a little scared and nervous.

"The restoration of Yangshui will be over in a few days. However, in my opinion, I will invite Inspector Li to go to the ceremony and erect a monument at that time. Let the people know that all the people involved in the restoration will participate in the ceremony together. I don’t know what Li Shishi thinks?” Zhu Shengzhi would ask about the repair of foreign water every few days, and he could answer Li Chongyuan’s questions fluently.
