Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 819
Hong Juncheng issued the autumn Fu edict and sent it to the household department.

The Ministry of Household Affairs had received the wind news a long time ago, and was not surprised by the [-]% bonus.

The two additions were frustrated, and the gods must make up for it.

But it's really hard to say whether it will be successful in finding love.

It seems that the prefects of various states have changed, and they are very negative about the matter of adding taxes, but this matter has nothing to do with the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the documents are delivered as usual.

There are yin and yang practitioners in the household department, which are licensed by Hong Juncheng, in order to pass documents to the states.

The document was delivered on the same day, and Hong Juncheng quietly waited for the news in the palace.

Each of the [-]% of the Tian Fu has important uses, and this is the capital for him to continue to deal with Tu Nu and Nufu Cult.

Internal servant Guan Jifu came to report: "Zhao Jindong, the young supervisor of the inner palace, intended to assassinate, but was caught by the criminal officer on the spot. He has been escorted to the prison and is waiting to be dealt with."

Hong Juncheng didn't look at the charges, nor did he look at the evidence of the crime, and didn't even ask a question about the reason, just said: "Execution tonight."

Every night, servants were executed, ranging from a dozen to hundreds.

Working together on errands during the day, and the next day, the people around him may become ghosts who intend to murder the gods. Needless to say, they are sad, it is luck not to be implicated.

The servants gradually developed the habit of not talking to each other as much as possible, each of them was like a walking corpse, and every day they lived in the palace counted as a day.

But Zhao Jindong is special, he is a disciple of Chang Decai, he joined Chang Decai's sect on the same day as Qin Yan, and is an elder of Decai's sect.

As usual, Qin Yan would try every means to rescue Zhao Jindong.

But he dared not take any action today.

The door of Decai has strict rules, and anyone who violates his authority will be severely punished. Even if Qin Yan is the head of the family, he dare not disobey the rules.

Hong Juncheng looked at the report casually, and suddenly coughed a few times.

Qin Yan brought water to Hong Juncheng, rubbed his back, and served him skillfully and thoughtfully.

Hong Juncheng calmed down, looked at Qin Yan and said, "I am old."

Qin Yan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is in the prime of his life, but he has been too tired recently."

Hong Juncheng shook his head and said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to last long with this body. Among the servants, you are the most suitable for me. If I go to the other world one day, I will still be by my side without you."

Qin Yan remained silent.

This is a topic he can't continue.

Hong Juncheng kept looking at Qin Yan, and smiled deeply. He didn't give Qin Yan a chance to evade: "If I really go to the other world, would you like to go with me?"

Shenjun asked the question directly, and Qin Yan had to answer it.

He knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Hong Juncheng, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "In this world, only His Majesty treats this old slave well. This old slave has only wanted to serve His Majesty all his life.

If there is such a day, His Majesty abandons the old slave, what is the meaning of the old slave's life, this life, the old slave will definitely not want it, just ask His Majesty to take the old slave with him when he leaves, don't let the old slave too lonely. "

After saying these words, Qin Yan shed tears.

Hong Juncheng silently looked at Qin Yan and nodded in satisfaction.

On this question, it is not easy to get a satisfactory answer for Hong Juncheng.

This is not a problem that can be solved quickly and wisely. It comes from careful preparation in advance. This is one of the 23 responses discussed by Xu Zhiqiong and Chang Decai.

How to answer when the god asked the servant to take the initiative to be buried.

Qin Yan is the servant closest to Hong Juncheng, this question will come up to him sooner or later, if the answer is not good, it is not a matter of being buried, and Hong Juncheng will send him on the road on the spot.

The problem Li Quangen has to face is, what should his subordinates do if they are caught on the way to deliver the letter?
Under what circumstances must the message be sent out.

Under what circumstances, let's keep calm until we get to the prison.

As Yue Liusheng was in charge of the prison, the main problem he had to deal with was how to rescue the people who should be rescued.

Zhao Jindong is the one who must be saved.

Just after nightfall, several servants escorted Zhao Jindong out of the cell, and had his last meal with a dozen other prisoners.

The last meal was fairly sumptuous, with meat and wine.

Zhao Jindong picked up his rice bowl, opened his mouth to eat and drink, and suddenly heard someone sobbing beside him.

Turning to look, it is Liu Pingsan, the head of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Zhao Jindong sneered: "Officer Liu, what's the matter? Why did you have a meal with us?"

Liu Pingsan is a criminal officer who specializes in arresting servants who have made mistakes. There will be almost 100 servants who received the meal of beheading in his hands.

He never dreamed that this bowl of rice with severed heads would be delivered to his mouth.

Yesterday he arrested three criminals and sent them to the prison. He was in a good mood. He drank a few more glasses at night and chatted nonsense with his servants, saying that he would be able to become the horse inspector in two days.

When he was drunk, he held down a handsome young waiter, and had a good time.

He was happy, but he didn't know that this young servant was the best friend of the Imperial Horse Supervisor's palm seal.

That night, the servant found Zhang Yin and cried out, Zhang Yin sent someone to hide a knife in Liu Ping's third room, and reported him for the assassination the next day, and sent him to prison in the afternoon.

Before he woke up from the wine yesterday, he had already had his head cut off tonight. Liu Pingsan hissed and wailed: "I'm wronged, I'm wronged!"

After dinner, Yue Liusheng ordered the execution. The dozen or so people were so frightened that they couldn't walk, they were dragged and dragged all the way to a secluded garden next to the prison.

Yue Liusheng ordered to do it, and the guards drew out their short knives and began to wipe their necks, one at a time.

Seeing that it was Liu Pingsan's turn, he was scared out of his wits.

Looking at Zhao Jindong in a blink of an eye, Liu Pingsan was taken aback, why isn't this guy afraid at all?
Zhao Jindong knelt on the ground motionless, like a clay sculpture.

No, this is wrong, this is not Zhao Jindong!
He looks a lot like Zhao Jindong, but Liu Pingsan is sure it's not him!

"This, this person is wrong, he is wrong..."

As soon as Liu Pingsan opened his mouth, the jailer behind him covered his mouth and cut his throat with a knife.

Huh, Huh~
Liu Pingsan still wanted to shout.

This person is not Zhao Jindong!
He is a fake, everyone in the prison is a fake, everyone from the prison leader to the jailer should be killed.

They should be killed, they should be killed...

I want to sue them, I have done meritorious service, I have done meritorious deeds...

His vision gradually blurred, and Liu Pingsan died.

"Zhao Jindong" was also wiped on the neck, but it was just a puppet.

The real Zhao Jindong was hiding in the dirt cart and left the palace.

……

In the blink of an eye, half a month later, Hong Juncheng inquired about the situation of tax collection. All states and counties added up and only collected less than [-]% of the land tax.

In fact, even the [-]% of the land tax was made up by prefects from all over the country.

Hong Juncheng was furious, and called the prefects of the six prefectures around Shenlin City to Shenlin City.

These six prefects said that they had never received any documents for expropriation, only documents for exemption.

The Minister of the Household Department confronted him face-to-face: "All the documents have been delivered, and everyone in the Household Department can testify!"

The two sides insisted on their own opinions, Hong Juncheng took a look at the tax exemption document, and fell directly on the face of a magistrate.

This document is obviously fake, and it is very poorly done. How could a magistrate not be able to tell the difference?
In fact, they can tell the difference, but they have no choice. This fake document was sent by those villains wearing masks. There is nothing wrong with setting fire.

Hong Juncheng immediately dismissed the six prefects and put them in prison for torture.

In less than half a day, all six magistrates confessed.

"The minister was coerced by the evil ways, and half of his teeth were knocked out by those evil ways!"

"The eldest son of the minister is still in the hands of those evil ways. It's been almost ten days, and he can't even eat a full meal!"

"Not only are they ruthless, but they are also vicious. They put up notices everywhere in the counties, saying that they will not pay food this year."

"The group of evil people are holding on to the food, and every day is as beautiful as the Chinese New Year, how can they get it out?"

Hong Juncheng quickly understood the reason, it was caused by the judge.

After the failure of the first two additions, Hong Juncheng thought that this matter must have something to do with the judge.

Xu Zhiqiong, you won't let me be at peace for a moment!
Hong Juncheng said to the six magistrates: "In a state, there should be thousands of government servants, big and small, and three or five evil ways. How can you force you to this extent?"

The magistrates wept with their heads bowed, with unspeakable suffering.

Open the roster and see that there are indeed more than 1000 government servants in a state.

But in fact, less than half of them are working as errands.

Less than [-]% of these errands know martial arts. They usually carry knives and scare the evil people. It's not a big problem. When they really meet someone with cultivation, if they kneel a little slower, their lives will be gone.

Is there no guard around the magistrate?
Have!
It is easy to say that one or two guards of the eighth and ninth ranks are hidden, and if the guards of the eighth rank and above are found, once they are found out, they will be copied and executed. The law of Qiancheng is so strict.

Just one or two guards, how can they stop the judge?

Even though he was aware of this difficulty, Hong Juncheng did not spare the six prefects lightly, he immediately issued an order to behead the six and re-appoint the prefects.

In addition, 300 black-clothed guards went to the states closest to Shenlin City, and ordered them to supervise the collection of the autumn tax, collect the land tax within ten days, and show it to all the states and counties.

Hong Zhenji received the news and quickly told Xu Zhiqiong.

Xu Zhiqiong found Hong Huaxiao.

"One hundred guards in black, can you handle it?"

Hong Huaxiao smiled indifferently: "These girls are almost tempered, it's good to try their skills."

"Don't rely on charms. Black-clothed guards live in the palace all year round, and women are not uncommon."

"So what if I see it?" Hong Huaxiao was rather disdainful, "They won't be able to eat even if they see it, this time let them eat as much as they want."
