Daming: My brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 153 Execution of Corrupt Officials and Gentlemen, One by One!
Ye Chengxue nodded: "The student is right."

Zhang Gui couldn't help secretly laughing behind his back.

Let Ye Chengxue get in touch with Wu Xing, be Wu Xing's staff master, and watch Wu Xing's every move, these are secretly arranged by Zhang Gui.

It is impossible for Zhang Gui not to take the initiative to monitor a civil official who is in conflict with himself even though he is going to carry out pilot reforms on his own initiative.

"Ye Chengxue! How dare you betray me!"

Wu Xing was furious because of this.

Ye Chengxue ignored Wu Xing, and only said: "Wu Xing colluded with the gentry in Yongcheng to plunder the common people. The students tried to dissuade him repeatedly, but he just refused to listen. The students had to bear with it for the time being and keep their evidence. Its true face, now fortunately His Majesty is here in person, so that the students can directly expose his treacherous face in front of His Majesty!"

After hearing this, Sun Chengzong sighed: "The sky net is extensive and sparse."

Tian Qi also asked Wu Xing: "Wu Xing, what do you have to say now?"

Wu Xing panicked: "Minister, minister, minister."

Seeing his incoherent speech, Tian Qi ordered Ye Chengxue to fetch the evidence.

Not long after, Ye Chengxue took the evidence and handed it to Tianqi.

"Your Majesty, there are several copies of this profit distribution document, one for each gentry participating in the profit distribution, one for the magistrate Wu Xing, and the copy of the magistrate Wu Xing is naturally kept by the students."

"The one that the students brought is Wu Xing's."

"The reason why Wu Xing was required to write it in his own hand was naturally because the gentry were afraid of Wu Xing's repentance, and they needed him, the county magistrate, to do so. They were willing to donate money at ease. This is also the way local officials have colluded with gentry over the years. "

Ye Chengxue reported in detail.

Tian Qi listened and looked at the contents of the documents. After seeing with his own eyes how Wu Xing, the county magistrate, and the gentry cleverly set up a name, how to return the donations of the officials and gentry in full, and how to divide the money of the common people. The soaring evil fire has already been ignited.

Bang!
Tian Qi kicked Wu Xing over, and cursed: "Damn it!"

"I will pass on my order, according to the list on this document, to bring all the gentry and family heads who participated in the exploitation of the people! Those who refuse to come will be punished!"

Tian Qi then gave an order in a cold voice.

"According to the order!"

Here, Tian Qi handed the document to Sun Chengzong again: "Sir, take a look and see how the magistrate Wu, who is very important to you, is a parent."

"Yes!"

Sun Chengzong took the document and read it carefully.

When he saw that it was almost the same, Sun Chengzong was horrified and said: "It's unbelievable, really unimaginable! Why are they so mad!"

After speaking, Sun Chengzong couldn't help taking a few steps back.

Wu Xing and others really taught Sun Chengzong a lesson.

Sun Chengzong, who had never been a parental official in a state or county, and was born in a family, never thought that the officials and gentry under him would use the benevolent government he advocated so flexibly.

Not long after, Gui Guangzu and other Yongcheng gentry were brought in and ordered to kneel in front of Tianqi and others.

Gui Guangzu and other gentry naturally did not dare to resist.

After all, they are also afraid of death.

What's more, there are quite a few officers and soldiers here.

Looking at these gentry, Tian Qi didn't look good, and said in a cold voice: "I have already obtained the evidence that you and the magistrate Wu Xing conspired to exploit the people in the name of building an academy and building a water canal, and the evidence shows that you are still exploiting the people. You took a big portion! It can be seen that a large number of people have been displaced, even starved to death, and even provoked civil uprisings. You should be responsible for these things!"

"It's wrong! We were forced to do it too. It was Wu Xing, the county magistrate, who forced us to do this!"

Gui Guangzu shouted like this.

"If they can force you, why do they let you take a big share?"

Apocalypse then asked.

Gui Guangzu said: "We don't understand either. The county magistrate insists on us taking a big share, and we dare not refuse!"

Tian Qi laughed back in anger: "He wants you to rebel, are you rebelling too? No matter what you say, in black and white, you did participate in the exploitation and harm of the people, damn it!"

As he spoke, Tianqi ordered: "Take these gentry, Wu Xing, and the rebel Jia Shiguo who exploited the people in the name of recruiting soldiers and buying horses after the rebellion, and take them to the streets to show the public! And call all the scholars and people of the county, and hold them in front of them. All the heads of the evil gentry beheaded. Although the rebel Jia Shiguo forced the people to rebel, he also tortured the people after the rebellion. Capital punishment! In addition, all of them will be deprived of their homes!"

Wu Xing was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, please appease your anger, and please think twice! Although you are guilty, the dignity of the court is more important! Your Majesty, you can't really let the people in the world think that even the imperial court is noble. Is it so unbearable?! Think twice, Your Majesty!"

Tian Qi snorted and ignored Wu Xing.

But Wu Xing yelled at Sun Chengzong: "Master Ge, please plead for the lower officials! Mr. Ge, you can't expect me to have a case of Ling Chi Hanlin Qingliu in Ming Dynasty."

Wu Xing said to Qian Longxi for help again: "Dr. Qian, everyone is from the Hanlin Qingliu, you can't just ignore death!"

Qian Longxi looked at Sun Chengzong, and he didn't dare to say anything now.

At this time, Tian Qi and Zhang Gui also looked at Sun Chengzong, curious about what Sun Chengzong would say.

At this time, Sun Chengzong stood up and said: "Your Majesty is wise! Now that the character of the scholar-bureaucrats has come to rebuild, it is necessary to use this strict method to strengthen their character!"

Tianqi nodded: "Mr. said yes!"

After hearing this, Wu Xing was very disappointed, and also very desperate. In addition to despair, he cursed wantonly: "Tyrant, tyrant, tyrant...you will not end well if you treat the scholar-bureaucrats so harshly."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please punish Wu Xing by [-] knives!!"

Sun Chengzong suddenly shouted at this time.

He was really angry.

He didn't expect that Wu Xing was still so obsessed with obsession, and he didn't even have the slightest idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor.

In order to rectify the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor that he believed in, Sun Chengzong made such a harsh request to Tianqi for the first time.

Wu Xing suddenly became dumb.

Tian Qi said without hesitation: "Quite!"

"Elder Pavilion! Elder Pavilion! Don't! I'm wrong, I won't scold you, I won't slander your father! I won't dare anymore!"

Wu Xing cried out in despair.

Gui Guangzu is also begging for mercy here.

But begging for mercy was useless.

Not long after, Wu Xing and Gui Guangzu were escorted to the upper street to demonstrate to the public.

Seeing this, the people all smiled, even though they were so hungry that they had no strength, they still grinned widely.

"what!"

Wu Xing was then hacked up and screamed.

Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
And with the flash of a spatula, Gui Guangzu and other gentry who exploited and harmed the people were also decapitated.

Next, the properties of these gentry were naturally confiscated, and the fields acquired from the common people were also distributed to the local people by Lu Xiangsheng, who was also temporarily serving as the county magistrate.

In addition, all the assistant officials and subordinate officials of the county government were dismissed because of their participation in this matter.

The entire Yongcheng County is one of the new.

But Tian Qi still feels heavy because of this matter.

His trust in the entire civil regime is now, so to speak, severely diminished.

After all, before this, almost everyone in the entire civilian regime was praising Wu Xing.

Therefore, Tian Qi couldn't help saying to Zhang Gui: "Fortunately, you let me take a look in person, otherwise, I would really be kept in the dark by the officials."

"Your Majesty, I apologize!"

At this time, Sun Chengzong also said something with a heavy heart, and said: "As a cabinet minister and a close minister, I was not cautious enough and almost misled your majesty. Besides, it is indeed related to the minister that Wu Xing has caused Yongcheng to suffer like this. , if Feichen pleaded for him, he would not have the opportunity to come to Yongcheng."

"Okay! Sir, don't blame yourself. Sending Wu Xing to Yongcheng is my own decision. It's because he told me that he wants to experiment with reforms like Xia Yunyi, so as to prove that Hanlin Qingliu are not empty talkers. I believe it." If he is guilty, I will be the first!"

Tian Qi said again: "Let's stop here!"

"Yes!"

Then, Tian Qi said: "Facts have proved that Wu Xing is not reliable, but I don't know how Xia Yunyi is doing in Suizhou?"

"When it comes to Xia Yunyi, I have always had doubts. Why do the officials in the Guide Mansion ask the refugees to lie that they are from Suizhou?"

Sun Chengzong said something at this time.

Tian Qi nodded: "I also have doubts about this."

At this moment, Zhang Gui gave Ye Chengxue a wink.

Ye Chengxue came over and said, "Your Majesty, the students know the reason behind this!"

"speak!"

Ye Chengxue then replied: "Because both the governor of Guide Mansion and the traitor Wu Xing were dissatisfied with Xia Yunyi, and Wu Xing also saw that a large number of refugees were generated because of his excessive exploitation of the people, so he took this opportunity to bribe the prefect of Guide Mansion and force the refugees in the country to lie about I am from Suizhou, otherwise I will be taken back to my hometown and killed for being a thief!"

"It's despicable!"

Tian Qi cursed, then asked: "Why are they dissatisfied with Xia Yunyi?"

"Because Xia Yunyi is from Xilin Academy, and even from Xichang, they despise people related to Uncle Guo, and even want to use this method to make His Majesty dissatisfied with Uncle Guo in the future."

Ye Chengxue replied.

After hearing this, Tian Qi turned cold, and then ordered: "Pass the decree, put the prefect of Guide into imperial prison, and have the Dongchang strict trial!"

Here, Sun Chengzong couldn't help sighing: "I didn't expect that it was us civil servants who really held prejudices. I am ashamed!"

"Elder Ge doesn't have to blame himself anymore."

After Zhang Gui said something, he said to Tian Qi: "Your Majesty, it's time to visit Suizhou."

Tian Qi nodded: "Well, let's go to Suizhou to have a look."

It was noon when Tian Qi and his party entered Suizhou.

The autumn sun is shining brightly, every house is full of smoke, the sound of chickens and dogs is heard, and children play in the village, all with ruddy complexions and thick clothes.

"There are no refugees who starve to death."

When Sun Chengzong watched it, he couldn't help sighing first.
