I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty
Chapter 508 Let the dead take the blame and bribe the living! Well done!
After the people in the Lu family's residence were emptied, the entire Lu family's residence was completely sealed off.
Changyi Lang had not finished withdrawing, but the accountants of Captain Shuiheng, who had followed Prime Minister Wei to the three counties, also arrived.
These accountants didn't talk nonsense. When they entered the house, they began to liquidate the Lu family's household - these money were also accounts, and all of them would be put under the control of Captain Shuiheng.
Suddenly, the sound of abacus could be heard throughout the Lu residence, which was really pleasant.
Around the time of application, the remaining million-dollar families in Luoyang County who had not submitted a petition to apply for transfer of citizenship finally could no longer sit still.
The heads of each family immediately rushed to the Sheriff's Mansion by car, hoping to find a way out for their families.
Soon, in front of the Henan County Sheriff's Mansion, except for the Lu family who couldn't come, the heads of the other nine families were all kneeling, pleading hard, wanting to see "Mr. Wei Ge".
But Chang Yilang of that Shishi was like a wall of silence, blocking the door, leaving no gaps.
The chief, who was in his early twenties, looked at these nine fat-headed and cunning people with disgust on his face.
They are all people who run rampant in the county, and they have ruined the lives of countless ordinary people.
Now, everyone is crying, as if they have been greatly wronged and wronged.
It wasn't that they suddenly changed their sexual orientation, but that they were shocked by the thunder in front of the Lu family's door.
All these cunning and powerful people saw clearly that the emperor was serious this time and would not give them any room for maneuver.
From the day the edict to relocate the people came down, these cunning people have been working hard towards Chang'an City.
Many big shots gave them a guarantee: as long as they did not write a letter asking for transfer, then these big shots could force the emperor to withdraw the edict.
However, the emperor's edict was not taken back, but a damned Wei Prime Minister was sent.
The county guard Han Buhui was killed, and the first Lu family in Luoyang County was destroyed.
If the rest of these cunning people can still sit still, then their heads may really be eaten by bugs.
They no longer dare to hope that they can stay in Luoyang County anymore, they only hope to transfer to Pingling County safely.
However, these heroes knelt in front of the door for half an hour, and Prime Minister Wei never showed up.
Only one of the pavilion soldiers came out and said: Mr. Wei Ge did not get up from his nap.
After that, even the gatekeeper never showed up again, and no other news came from the mansion.
Regardless of whether Prime Minister Wei is really "taking a nap" or not, these cunning people outside the door can only take it seriously, but they dare not leave.
"Young general, it's already Shenshi time. Please go in and pass the message one more time. I'm anxious to see Mr. Wei Ge." Wang Hao begged.
"The duty of our school is to guard the gate of this mansion to prevent thieves from causing trouble. How can we leave our post without permission?!" the chief said forcefully.
In the past, Shi Chang was just an ordinary soldier, but now that he has become a recruit, it is different. He is also a person with an official status.
Although the rank is only a hundred stones, it is controlled by the captain of the headquarters and the Sima Mansion. It does not need to look at the faces of the local officials, let alone these cunning heroes who are in trouble.
"Young general, this matter is extremely urgent and involves the lives of thousands of people. Please make an exception..." Wang Haoxiao wiped his tears.
"Yes, if we don't pass the news to Mr. Wei Ge, all life in Luoyang County may be ruined." Feng Haoxiao said, beating his chest and stamping his feet.
"The young general is a man from Changyi. He will definitely know the importance. If he does such a good deed, he will definitely be able to grow his hair in the future and bring blessings to future generations!" Li Hao said slyly and flatteringly.
The heads of these wealthy families are indeed very adaptable and flattering to this little person, and their flattering appearance makes people even more disgusted.
But the chief was unmoved and directly ordered these people to be driven out of the shade under the eaves and let them kneel under the unobstructed sun.
The sun in May is already very dazzling, especially in the afternoon, it is much more vicious.
It hangs brightly in the sky, pouring heat to the earth without hesitation.
These heroes had only been exposed to the sun for a while, but oil appeared on their foreheads, as if they had been roasted on a charcoal fire.
The anxiety in my heart is more burning than the sun above my head.
Who knows when Changyi Lang will rush to their home?
Once they rush to the door of their house, their decades or even centuries of business will be destroyed.
Under this double torture, the heroes knelt for another half an hour before the gatekeeper responsible for passing orders finally showed up again.
"Mr. Wei Ge is awake and waiting for you all in the main hall. You can come in..." the guard said reluctantly in a low voice.
The heroes who were kneeling on the ground were overjoyed and quickly stood up, preparing to get in through the gap left by Chang Yilang.
But the guard at the gate stretched out his hand to stop them, and said slowly: "I would like to remind you that Mr. Wei Ge is not happy, so don't bump into him."
"Thank you, thank you for reminding me."
Not long after, these nine sweaty heroes finally saw the sullen Prime Minister Wei in the main hall.
They didn't dare to say anything nonsense and just knelt down on the ground, nodding their heads vigorously while asking for forgiveness from Prime Minister Wei who was sitting at the top.
"We haven't understood Mr. Wei Ge's order, so please forgive Mr. Wei Ge!"
"It's all those who continue to mislead the public with their evil words and trick us into disobeying the elder's orders."
"Yes, yes, there is also the rebellious traitor Han Buhai. It was his wolfish ambition that deceived us!"
Putting the blame on the dead is both the smartest and the least smart way.
Prime Minister Wei watched with cold eyes, feeling disgusted in his heart when he saw their ugly behavior.
It's not that he didn't give these cunning people a chance, it's that they couldn't seize it themselves. They had to see the word "death" before they knew how to turn back.
Why did Changyi Lang ever want to kill anyone?
Why did Prime Minister Wei ever want to kill anyone?
Why would the emperor ever want to kill someone?
Now that Han Bu is dead and the Lu family is ruined, it seems that these brave and cunning people have been scared out of their wits, and the migration of people will definitely proceed smoothly.
However, there are advantages and disadvantages.
The errands in the three counties of Henan have indeed been completed, but the twists and turns will definitely spread to Chang'an City, and I don't know how big a wave it will cause.
His reputation as a cruel official of Wei Prime Minister is probably going to be firmly established, and there is no possibility of washing it away.
The emperor's long-term hope of becoming a benevolent king may also come to nothing, and he will inevitably leave a reputation for harsh laws in the history books.
When an incident reaches this point, even a good thing has a little bit of "bad" attached to it.
Thinking of all the twists and turns, Wei Xiang was even more disgusted with the people in front of him.
"If you ask to see me today, what advice do you have?" Wei Xiang finally spoke in a nonchalant manner.
"Mr. Wei Ge, we were blinded by lard, and were deceived and incited by Han Buhai and others, delaying the important matter of submitting a petition to transfer our nationality..." Wang Hao, the oldest among them, said cunningly.
"Bewitch? Incite? Please tell me how they bewitched?" Wei Xiang sneered.
The heroes were stunned for a moment, and then they started to make a fuss, embellishing all the words that Han Buhai and one after another said to them, and imitating them. "There are court officials present in Chang'an City, so the county magistrate can definitely take back the edict."
"Liu De is the head of the clan, and the county magistrate respects him very much. He will surely be able to persuade your majesty."
"The county magistrate is young and has no experience in governing the country. He will know his way back when he gets lost."
"Xiang Wei is a cruel and cruel official with a dark heart. He only knows how to flatter and flattery, and he will definitely be disgraced by officials!"
……
The heroes chattered endlessly, and the clerk on the side was also writing down quickly. After the former finished speaking, a document like a love letter was also written.
"This is the confession of the princes. Please sign and stamp it." Prime Minister Wei had a cold face and ordered the document to be delivered to the gentry.
Confession?
It’s bad, Zongzheng Liu De was sold by them, what should we do! ?
The faces of all the cunning men immediately darkened.
Looking at the confession, I didn’t want to press it down at all.
However, today is just for fish and meat, so where is the chance to resist?
If Liu De is confessed happily, maybe Prime Minister Wei will be happy and be willing to show mercy and spare them.
Under the close gaze of Prime Minister Wei, everyone reluctantly signed and stamped the confession.
Wei Xiang looked at the confession sent over and nodded with satisfaction. He would send someone back to Chang'an immediately. The emperor would definitely need it.
"Okay, now that we've finished talking about Han Buhao, let's talk about yours."
"promise……"
"Tomorrow, Changyi Lang will come to your house to search your house. I hope you can do it for your convenience and don't let them use force."
Prime Minister Wei said these words calmly, and the gentry who had just ignited a glimmer of hope felt that they had fallen into an abyss.
These nine sly men came here today, of course, to seek a way out.
Although it has reached a point of urgency, in their hearts, there is still room for discussion.
But with one sentence, Prime Minister Wei blocked the room for counter-offering, leaving no room for them: this was simply a price aimed at their ankles.
"Mr. Wei Ge, this..." Wang Hao cunningly said the word "this" several times in a row, but he didn't know how to continue.
"The county magistrate attaches great importance to the words 'orders and prohibitions'. It's impossible that you haven't heard of it, right?"
"My officer's order also made it clear that those who miss the deadline at each pass will be confiscated and sent to Shuihengduwei by confiscation."
"The time limit for submitting petitions for transfer of citizenship was as of yesterday. You have all missed the deadline. Your family will be confiscated and banished to Shuihengduwei."
"Do you still have any objections?"
Prime Minister Wei said these words slowly and without much fluctuation in his voice, but instead sounded colder.
Everyone was dizzy from being exposed to the sun just now, but now it was as if they had been transported to an ice cellar, with the hairs on their hair standing on end.
They had already stood up, but now their knees softened again, and they all knelt down in the hall again with a "pop" sound.
"Mr. Wei Ge, it's all the bad things done by Han Buhao and Lu Jie. We were just deceived!"
"Yes, they are the ones who do the evil, they have nothing to do with us!"
"We are good citizens and have never committed any crime!"
Hao Cunning wailed again, which made Prime Minister Wei more and more bored.
It's not like he hasn't dealt with these people before. Although he is indeed not a bad person, he is definitely not a kind person.
Now that they are gathering here and wailing, it is not because they have any conscience, they just find that there is a sharp weapon on the back of their necks.
Prime Minister Wei let them curse and cry for a long time, and finally lost the patience to wait any longer, and stood up with a sullen face.
"Since it was Han Buhao and Lu Youyou who deceived you, you can just go to them. Why come to me to complain?"
Prime Minister Wei's words almost made several people present feel angry.
Han Buhui was already on the road to hell. If he asked them to find him, wouldn't he be asking for death?
As a result, everyone immediately shut their mouths and did not dare to wail and make signs like before.
Prime Minister Wei stepped down from his superior position and walked slowly to the front of the heroes. After wandering back and forth for a few times, he finally stopped.
"All the princes are respectable people, how can it be appropriate to kneel in front of the hall? If word spreads, some people will say that I am a cruel official." Wei Xiang sneered.
"We definitely don't dare to have such evil thoughts. Mr. Wei Ge is not a cruel official, but a Xun official!" Wang Haoxiao said, and everyone agreed again.
"Everyone stand up and speak first."
"Nuo!" Seeing that Wei Xiang's words were a little gentler, the heroes felt more cunning and stood up quickly.
"The county magistrate once said that governing the country requires not only the word law, but also the word love..."
Prime Minister Wei began to draw his line, and Wang Hao and the others naturally heard it immediately, their eyes filled with blazing light.
In fact, several people had discussed this matter before coming. As long as they could keep their family property, they were willing to pay some price.
It’s time to come up with the price tag you’ve prepared.
Wang Hao Chou was the leader among the crowd. He looked around and whispered to Prime Minister Wei: "Mr. Wei Ge, I have collected two hundred gold and I am willing to repay it all!"
Two hundred gold means two million dollars, which is also a huge windfall for Prime Minister Wei.
Prime Minister Wei didn't answer. His small eyes shot out a fierce light and gave Wang Ju's family a vicious look.
"Humph, two hundred gold? I, the Prime Minister of Wei, are no longer what they used to be, but Marquis Gaoping, who has two thousand households and a small town..."
"It's only two million dollars, and you just want me to break the knot. Isn't it too much to look down on me?" Wei Xiang sneered.
"Yes, yes, we are blind, then..." Wang Hao looked at the others and said cruelly, "How about five million dollars?"
"Five million dollars?" Prime Minister Wei's sneer turned into a vicious smile. The financial resources of these wealthy families are really bottomless!
"If it's not enough, I will give Mr. Wei Ge a few more houses..."
"After spending so much money, what do you want me to do?" Wei Xiang asked with narrowed eyes.
"We are guilty people, and we don't dare to make any extravagant hopes. We just want to move to Pingling smoothly." After Wang Haoxiao finished speaking, the others nodded.
The way they look now, they seem to have suffered a great loss. They are sighing and sighing, and it doesn't look like they are cheating.
People are mean sometimes.
A few days ago, if you obeyed the edict obediently, wouldn't it be easy to talk about everything?
Maybe the emperor will reward them with a few more plaques, so that they can gain the reputation of being a model of their hometown.
But now, the situation has completely changed.
The price of five million is not enough. (End of chapter)
