The evil king's favorite snake and scorpion concubine

Chapter 646 Killing Corrupt Officials in Anger and Making Congee to Save People (4)
As soon as this remark came out, there was a complete silence, no one spoke, and some couldn't react.After they reacted, everyone cheered and yelled at Nangong Lingtian who was at the top.

"Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord, the lord is still alive."

"Yes, the prince is our hope."

Everyone wept and kowtowed emotionally, and there was a sound of kowtow and bumping in the dark night.

When Tan Fang heard Nangong Lingtian's words, his expression changed, and he quickly raised his head and said, "My lord, no, this granary is for emergency use."

As soon as Tan Fang's words fell, all the people stopped, and their eyes wished to eat Tan Fang's meat to relieve their hatred. Nangong Lingtian's hazy eyes fell on Tan Fang: "Isn't it an emergency now? If you are going to starve to death, opening a warehouse to release food is the most important thing to do right now, when is it called an emergency in your eyes?"

Tan Fang wanted to say something more, but when he saw Shang Nangong Lingtian and Hua Jingyu's murderous eyes, he was suddenly startled and dared not say anything more.

At this moment, Zhao Yao came in from the side of the crowd, and nodded silently towards Nangong Lingtian.

Someone from the crowd at the bottom suddenly rushed out, and shouted at Nangong Lingtian at the top: "My lord, I beg you to avenge our grievances."

Nangong Lingtian said: "Say."

An old man below kowtowed: "My lord, this dog official robbed the daughter of the people. Because the little old man's daughter was born more beautiful, this dog official sent his cronies to rob the little old man's daughter. Pity me!" The daughter resolutely refused, so they beat her to death, begging the prince to make the decision."

The old man plopped and kowtowed in despair.

As soon as his words fell, Tan Fang struggled and shouted: "You are talking nonsense, my lord, these unscrupulous people deliberately framed lower officials, my lord, please be careful."

As soon as Tan Fang's words fell, another person came out from behind the old man: "My lord, because this dog officer took a fancy to a bow passed down from his family a few days ago, he sent his men to Xiaomin's house to grab it. At that time, Xiaomin was not at home, and when he returned home, the bow disappeared, and Xiaomin's parents were also killed by him. I beg the prince to avenge Xiaomin's parents."

With these people taking the lead, people among the common people seemed to be inspired, and many people rushed out to sue Tan Fang, the magistrate of Youzhou, enumerating his top ten crimes.

Tan Fang's face became more and more ugly, beads of sweat rolled down, he didn't expect these people to dare to come out and sue him, if he was fine, they would definitely not spare these guys, at this time Tan Fang thought he would be fine , It’s really been a long time as the emperor of the earth, and he thinks he is home.

Nangong Lingtian looked at everything in front of him, with a cold and dark smile on the corner of his lips, Tan Fang on one side felt his scalp numb, and kowtowed again and again: "My lord, check clearly, these troublemakers, because they are usually too harsh , That's why I'm going to beat him up. I hope the prince will be aware and don't listen to these slanderous words. As the magistrate of Youzhou, I can be said to be conscientious, and I dare not make any mistakes. A bit disrespectful."

"Okay, good one without disrespect."

Under the long night, a cold drink suddenly exploded in everyone's ears like thunder, and Nangong Lingtian's handsome face was covered with the coldest ice in winter, and he yelled loudly: "Come on, give me the pool Down."

What he asked Zhao Yao to do before was to find someone to take the lead to sue the prefect of Tan. If no one took the lead, I was afraid that these people would not dare to sue Tan Fang because of concerns, so he ordered Zhao Yao to take the lead. Find two people to take the lead, and after someone took the lead, many people came forward.

When Tan Fang heard Nangong Lingtian's words, he couldn't help being horrified: "My lord, you can't arrest the lower officials. The lower officials didn't do anything. It's these unruly people who make things difficult for the lower officials. There is nothing wrong with the lower officials."

"Well, there is nothing wrong with it. Today, the king will convince you."

After Nangong Lingtian finished speaking, he looked down at the common people: "You sue the prefect of Tan, are you willing to confront him in court?"

"We do, we do."

The people who complained shouted loudly, Nangong Lingtian ordered Zhao Yao to immediately open a granary to release grain, prepare to set up a porridge shed, and distribute porridge overnight. These people seem to be very hungry. Many people will starve to death. In addition, those civilians who were killed by soldiers will also be given money to appease their families and ask their families to take them back.

It was originally caused by disturbance, so the family members of the dead did not dare to make too much disturbance, and took the dead back obediently.

Tan Fang was escorted by Beiyou Wangfu's men all the way to the official office in Youzhou. The granary was not far from the official office, and he arrived in a short while. Nangong Ling Tiangao sat at the head, Hua Jingyu sat next to him, and went down Standing on both sides of the head are the officials under Youzhou Tanfang, all of them pale and dare not say a word, while the one at the bottom is kneeling on Tanfang. At this moment, Tanfang no longer has the previous high-spirited and pale face. , Dou Da's cold sweat was streaming down, he felt that the prince was determined to deal with him this time, he couldn't help trembling, begging again and again.

"My lord has clearly checked that I didn't do anything, it's these thugs who wanted to get me down."

But Nangong Lingtian ignored him, now that Youzhou is in turmoil, the people are poor, and there are riots, so it is natural to use this corrupt official to anger the people.

The person who was the first to complain came forward again and sued Tan Fang again. Tan Fang saw that he was going to be unlucky, so he looked to the side of the Tongzhi Prefecture Judge and other officials, and motioned them to speak for him with his eyes.

Tan Fang has been a big greedy, treacherous, and evil over the years, and these people are not much better. Looking at Tan Fang's expression at this time, it is clear that if they don't help him, he will confess them, so the officials on the side of the hall Immediately walked out: "My lord, Mr. Tan really worked hard during his tenure. These people don't know why they sued Mr. Tan."

"Oh," Nangong Lingtian's long and narrow phoenix eyes were full of fierce murderous intent, scaring some small officials from saying a word.

Finally, Qingzhu outside the hall brought two subordinates in, raised his foot and kicked them down: "Say, repeat what you said earlier."

These two people are Tan Fang's confidantes. They looked at Tan Fang carefully, and then looked up at Nangong Lingtian: "My lord, don't do small things. It's Master Tan who asked the little ones to let the wind out and say There was a rich businessman who brought a lot of gold, silver and jewels through, that's why those bandits stopped and robbed the prince, Lord Tan wanted to use the bandits to get rid of the prince."

When Tan Fang heard the words of the two cronies, he turned angrily and rushed towards the two cronies, trying to strangle the two bastards to death, but unexpectedly, he dared to hand him over.

When the people at the bottom of the hall and outside heard what these two people said, they couldn't help cursing. This shameless dog official would even dare to harm the prince. Fortunately, the prince is lucky, otherwise he would be killed by this guy.
