Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 176: There was no shortage of unjust cases in the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Biao was stunned.

Seeing his father's serious expression, he was a little unable to recover.

Shouldn't the father be furious?

Also, so many things happened recently that he himself felt a little dazed.

The most important thing now is not to investigate the "printing plate case"? But what are you doing now? Su Xian's "On the Taxation of the Four Peoples" disrupted all their rhythms. The impact it caused only took half a day to pass. You can get a glimpse of it from the impact in the capital...

If it is not dealt with in time, big problems may really occur.

The printable version issue has not yet been decided...

"Since you know that most of what he said in the Four People's Tax Theory was what he said in the main hall... then let's see what happens next?"

"The imperial court has its own rules, and one person does his own thing. Since the Third Division is going to investigate the printing case, then whoever complains about injustice in Yingtian Mansion should naturally be tried by the person in charge of Yingtian Mansion!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "In the near future, you first have an overview of the affairs of the country. If there is nothing important, don't be surprised."

……

He quickly realized that his father really wanted Ying Tianfu to investigate wealthy households?

However, he himself knew what to do next.

"Zhezi has flown up a long time ago. I heard that several ministers even went to Yingtianfu Yamen to see it in person... The common people who saw the content about wealthy households in the Gewu Express were obviously anxious at this moment, and they all thought it was the Holy Lord. Let out the wind and use this wind to cry out injustice.”

It seemed that what he said was a bit scary, and Zhu Biao himself was a little slow.

Zhu Xiongying looked at Zhu Yuanzhang eagerly.

Song Shen arrived in a hurry and saw that Li You had already arrived.

He quickly reported what happened now to Hu Weiyong.

"Hmph! The matter isn't big enough yet. Just wait and continue brewing until the news spreads not only throughout the capital, but even throughout Zhejiang and Guangxi, and even the entire southeast... There is still more to come."

"How's it going with Baiguan?"

"Yes!"

Although he knew a lot, many of his father's recent actions had made him extremely confused.

"Prime Minister, as you expected, just half a day after this dispatch was sent out, there are already many people in the capital complaining about injustice."

But Zhu Benn himself seemed to be enlightened.

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed very easily, and Zhu Xiongying was also unexpectedly very happy.

Faced with the two people's conjectures, Hu Weiyong had of course known it for a long time.

After bidding farewell to his father and queen, Zhu Biao left quickly.

"Prime Minister, in response to the Tianfu Yamen's errand, we just took this opportunity to send a prefect."

"Crying about injustice?" Hu Weiyong sneered: "Our Ming Dynasty lacks everything except grievances!"

"Father, do you really want to..."

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang pick up the Gewu Express next to him, his eyes resting on certain words. Even though he was prepared in his heart, he couldn't help but say bold every time he read it!
"Grandpa Huang, it says here that Su Xian will go to Tianjiang Tower tomorrow."

At this moment, Li You quickly reminded.

After all, those words that put an end to the official body being deprived of food, and even openly provoking conflicts among the people of the Ming Dynasty, were heard in the ears of those people.

When he said this, his heart trembled a little.

The latter had obviously heard about it a long time ago and nodded to show that he knew.

at this time.

"Come to think of it, your Majesty is also very upset now, right?" Li You said with a smile: "Su Xian was obviously let go, but he is still acting like this. Now the people in the capital have changed drastically."

"Ok!"

But this way.

As he said this, Hu Weiyong himself laughed.

"Prime Minister, you are still very good at predicting things." Song Shen also immediately complimented: "If this continues, I am afraid that both the government and the public will criticize the Gewuyuan, and even the eldest grandson will rise up..."

The latter didn't even need to think about it to know what he was thinking, "You want to go too!"

talking.

"What are you really thinking about? The truth hasn't been revealed yet, and what is found out is the truth."

"Okay, since I have some free time anyway, grandpa will take you with me..."

at the same time.

Zhu Xiongying nodded immediately.

"If this express report continues to be brewed, many people may have dissatisfaction."

It's like a mountain that's about to collapse, so some people will be anxious.

After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he seemed not to take the matter to heart.

Hu Weiyong nodded slightly, this was exactly the reason.

Now everything is according to his own plan. The position of Ying Tianfu magistrate seems to be inferior to those of the six ministries of the country, or even Dali Temple and Yushitai.

But local officials are local officials, and they should be responsible for the governance of Tianfu and the local area, trivial civil affairs, and Xing Prison.

There is no reason to leave this empty seat.

Just, right now.

"Prime Minister." A figure hurriedly came to the door. Hu Weiyong looked and found that it was another Yousi Langzhong from Zhongshu Province.

"What's the matter?" Li You turned around and saw that the other party was obviously from Wang Guangyang. Of course, the latter didn't care about anything, and the people around him were naturally very transparent in Zhongshu Province.

"The trial in Yingtian Mansion has begun!"

However, his first words made the three of them suddenly come back to their senses.

Hu Weiyong even raised his head and said with a surprised look on his face: "What? Who is interrogating?"

"Prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, Lin Yide!"

As soon as these words came out, Hu Weiyong and Li You looked surprised.

The visitor didn't wait for them to ask, and continued: "The right minister has just received the news. As soon as the news of the Gewu Express came out, many officials went to see your majesty. However, your majesty has ignored government affairs recently. As a last resort, they all went to see the prince. Your Highness."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally decided on this matter. He asked Dali Temple to release Lin Yide and go to trial the case first."

In an instant.

Li You was confused. He looked at Hu Weiyong, "Hu Xiang, this..."

Hu Weiyong was also a little confused, "You go and see first!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at the visitor and said, "What did His Highness the Prince say? You must listen to the truth!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that one person is doing his own thing and causing such a big commotion. No one likes to wipe someone else's butt. Since it is a matter of Yingtian Mansion, let the person in charge go to trial..."

"Oh?"

After hearing this, Hu Weiyong thought about it first, and then he felt relieved after thinking about it.

"This sentence can also have another meaning."

Hu Weiyong said and suddenly became emotional.

"Someone wiped the butt of Ying Tianfu Yamen. He is simply the criminal. If he can't handle it clearly, he can be killed directly. However... this rich family is just an extension of the "Four People's Tax Wheel"."

"Rich households can wipe it, but what about the commercial taxes? What about the corvee labor? Or even...the taxes on the four people, what about the gentry?"

"Who will wipe it?"

……

Lin Yide was at a loss at this time.

exactly…

He has always been at a loss since he was affected by the printing plate case and was directly arrested and sent to Dali Temple Prison.

In the past two months, he had cried out "unjustly" countless times, hoping to let several familiar colleagues, Shangguan, find out, and to let His Highness the Crown Prince, and even His Majesty, clear his name.

After all, I had never even been to Chao Jingyuan. I was suspected of just handling counterfeit banknotes with Su Guiyuan. There was no such injustice in the world.

However, he shouted countless times until he became desperate.

As a result, there is a bright future and a new life emerges from a desperate situation!

but.

When he heard the reason for letting him out, he just thought about it for a while, and then he became desperate again!
It was enough to wrong him before, but now he wants to squeeze out the last bit of value from himself. If you involve yourself in this case, you will not even have the possibility of survival.

Think of this.

He couldn't help but recall that during the Kongyin case, he saw that many prefects from various provinces were on death row because of Kongyin.

There are also some officials, even after being convicted, because there are many court affairs, they still have to "check their own" evidence of guilt.

He once said with emotion that this is really a wonder today.

But now, who would have thought that myself, who was smiling at others at that time, would also become one of the wonders!

The physical pain on my body is far less than the confusion in my heart.

When I arrived at Yingtianfu Yamen and saw that it was crowded with people, all of whom were shouting that they were wronged, the anxiety in my heart almost swallowed me up.

Lin Yide went back home first, washed up, put on his official uniform, and then came towards the government office.

Fortunately, he was guarded by people from the pro-military Duwei Mansion. In the eyes of others, these people were vicious and liked to torture people, but they did not use many punishments on themselves. Instead, they suffered from some sticks from Dali Temple.

Enduring the pain, Lin Yide sat in the government office.

The government officials on both sides, as well as the colleagues in the mansion and other subordinates, all looked at me in surprise.

However, before they could express their congratulations, Lin Yide waved his hands, suppressing the bitterness and despair in his heart.

"Ascend to the throne!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, the guards on both sides picked up their killing sticks and walked towards the door. When you open the door, what you see are people crowded with each other, each holding the Gewu Express in their hands.

He didn't say anything, but let them file in.

In an instant.

Lin Yide heard the sad and desolate sounds.

"Sir, do you want to make the decision for us? Xiaomin moved from Jiangxi to Jiangpu County in the third year of Hongwu and was designated as a wealthy household. However, not long after the move, Xiaomin's family lost their wealth due to poor management. But after that, But he still has to bear the responsibility of being a wealthy family..."

"The police officers forced me to sell Zhuangzi and some shops to a wealthy family named Lu in the same county... At this point, my status as a wealthy family should have been canceled in the county government."

"Unexpectedly, Hongwu has been selling for seven years, and after selling it in the first year, he will come again in the second year..."

now.

Lin Yide listened to the facts of the case. To be honest, it was not that he had never heard of these cases before.

However, the imperial court stipulated that wealthy households should be reviewed every ten years. Although local governments have the authority to review cases as appropriate, no one can be sure whether this is true or false.

Moreover, when making a fuss about the list of wealthy households, you have to report it in turn and wait until it is reviewed by the higher authorities.

If this happens, if no problem is found, everything will be fine. But if a problem is found, it will be like sitting at home, and disaster will come from the sky.

Therefore, in this case, especially regarding court taxation, no official is willing to take the risk.

Over time, no one dared to use this power.

At this moment, Lin Yide once again felt the difficulty of this case.

He became more and more certain:
This makes it clear that he is here to wipe the butt of these "cases".

The purpose is to allow these people to increase in number and to let their accumulated grievances be vented in this Yingtianfu Yamen.

As for how to solve it?

snort! I'm afraid that in the end, I will be labeled as a corrupt or treacherous minister!
When the time comes, all debts will be cancelled, and everything will be settled.

Although he felt aggrieved and wanted to resist.

But he knows better. Now, all he needs to do is sit down and figure out "the thoughts above."

Only your family will have a good ending.

How pathetic!

If he hadn't been involved in Su Guiyuan's case, how could he have achieved today's results?
Thinking of this, he was not only filled with sadness but continued to play his "role".

"Remember it?"

Lin Yide had no intention of interrogating him at all. Instead, he looked at the scribe next to him who was taking notes, and waited until the latter nodded.

Lin Yide then looked down.

"I already know your grievances and have written them down now. You can go down and calm down for the time being!"

After saying this, he waved his hand.

"Next!"

The man was obviously dumbfounded and a little angry, because he knew the process very well.

At this moment, he also understood that he would not go through the motions again like before?

"Sir! That's what you guys said before."

"When did I say this? There are so many people here today. Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."

"But not only is your case urgent, their case is also urgent." Lin Yide waved his hand and said seriously again: "Next one."

"Master Magistrate, I am a wealthy family in Jiangning County..."

After some words, Lin Yide nodded again, "Next."

"Sir, I am a wealthy family who was moved here from Suzhou Prefecture..."

Lin Yide continued: "Next one."

The facts of the case were written down one by one.

And this moment.

Because there were so many people gathered at Yingtian Mansion Office today, seeing such irresponsible behavior from the other party, they stood outside the Mansion Office and immediately became a little angry.

"Is this a trial?"

"Looking at it like this, it's the same as before."

"Didn't this express report say that the court has a trend and wants to hear our case?"

People are angry, but there is nothing they can do about this familiar scene.

"I heard that he was just released, and I'm afraid he's here to frustrate us..."

"what?"

"Yes, the other party involved in Su Guiyuan's printing plate case has now been released."

People around were whispering.

What's more, he was holding the Gewu Express. He originally had a hopeful look on his face, but when he heard the analysis, his face suddenly turned gloomy...

And what these people didn't notice was.

At the same time, everyone was behind.

A group of young people who looked like ordinary people stood aside and isolated the people around them.

And right inside.

Su Xian was looking in front of him...

At this moment, in front of him, Lin Andong, Lin Anding, and several brothers and sisters, Bai Jue and Bai Zhixia, stood in front of him.

"Did you hear clearly what I just said?"

At this moment, Su Xian looked at a few people and warned them.

"Got it!" Bai Jue's eyes were excited and he nodded first.

"Okay!" Su Xian looked at the latter, "Whether you can succeed or not depends on you."

"Yes!"

Say it again.
