Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 551 Everyone is happy
After Jin Dafu said that, all the officials changed their expressions immediately, and they looked at Jin Dafu with unkind eyes.

"Jin Dafu, I already know about this, just wait a moment!" Yuan Yao nodded, then turned to face Yang Wu who was standing aside, and said, "Send someone to tell the city gate soldiers to come."

Yang Wu accepted the order and quickly arranged for a personal attendant to summon him.

In fact, before Jin Dafu, Yuan Yao had already received the information.

Regarding the notice, it was exactly Yuan Yao’s intention. He originally wanted to use it to highlight the importance of Chinese characters, enhance the awareness of learning Chinese culture among the natives of New Baekje, speed up assimilation, and increase the speed of development of technological civilization. Unexpectedly To meet such a caring person like Jin Dafu.

This is somewhat different from Yuan Yao's original idea! !

However, the appearance of Jin Dafu also gave Yuan Yao a brainstorm, and he had a new idea. He was ready to make good use of Jin Dafu, expand this small matter, and even reverse this seemingly absurd matter. Turn into a legendary story!

While waiting, Guo Zu came over and whispered, "My lord, the soldiers who can guard the city gate are all elite soldiers under your subordinates. If this is true, are you really going to punish them? Jin Dafu He is just a local small businessman, not a Han Chinese, if you let this kind of untouchables mess around and ignore your majesty, my lord, won't this palace have to deal with such trivial matters every day in the future?"

Yuan Yao smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Guo Zu, what you said is also reasonable, but you must remember one thing, that is, the common people have nothing to worry about! Although Jin Dafu's matter is insignificant, it is also a reflection of the common people's attitude towards the new Baekje. A microcosm!"

Guo Zu seemed to have realized something and began to meditate.

Jin Dafu, who was kneeling in the lobby, didn't know what Guo Zu was saying to Yuan Yao. The officials in brocade clothes on both sides seemed to look at him with unkind eyes, which made Jin Dafu feel even more frightened. A thing that is extremely unfavorable to him!

He remembered that when he was at the city gate, he wanted to bribe the soldiers of the city gate! !
If the city gate soldiers he was suing came and used it to say something against him, and told him that he wanted to bribe him, as a commoner, he was very likely to be beheaded by the king in a rage!
Thinking of this, Jin Dafu suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck.

At this moment, a report came from the gate of the palace, and it was the city gate soldier who was brought up. Jin Dafu trembled in fright, and hurriedly lowered his head in panic.

"The soldiers at the city gate pay homage to the lord!" The soldier at the city gate knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Fang Qin, do you know the person next to you?" Yuan Yao asked.

"My lord, I have seen him before, but I don't know his name!" Fang Qin, a soldier at the city gate, glanced at Jin Dafu, a merchant, and said truthfully.

"His surname is Jin and his name is Dafu, he sued you for unfair law enforcement, is there such a thing!" Yuan Yao asked.

"The little one has been strictly following the order, and there is no violation!" Fang Qin said.

When Jin Dafu heard this, he became impatient and shouted: "Long live! What Xiaomin saw with his new eyes outside the city gate, Sha Tian and Miao Qing can sell fish, but Xiaomin can't! If Fang Qin can't show the official Official document, this is unfair!!"

Fang Qin was taken aback, looked at the vendor with a complicated expression, sighed, and clasped his fists and said, "My lord, I did follow orders, but I did not see the official order, I am willing to be punished!"

A strange look flashed in Yuan Yao's eyes, and he thought to himself: "I never thought that Fang Qin would take the initiative to take responsibility, and the fault was not on him at all. Speaking of it, I'm also to blame for not giving a formal order..., well, this matter I have to deal with it to satisfy everyone!"

"Jin Dafu, since this matter is true, according to your thinking, how can Fang Qin be punished to satisfy you?" Yuan Yao asked with a smile.

"This...!" Jin Dafu hesitated, staring at the serious Fang Qin with complicated eyes, he didn't know what to do.

Fang Qin was able to take the initiative to admit his mistakes, and did not mention his bribery at all, which moved Jin Dafu. Punishment of Fang Qin would not benefit him at all. Before, he was impulsive because of his vindictiveness. Now Jin Dafu only I hope everyone can live in peace and harmony, and make this matter small and finally resolved.

"Long live, Xiaomin just can't think about it for a while, please don't punish Fang Qin!" Jin Dafu said.

As soon as Jin Dafu said this, Guo Zu, who was sitting beside Yuan Yao, froze for a moment, looked at Yuan Yao in surprise, and hesitated to speak.

Yuan Yao shouted loudly: "Come on!"

Immediately, two personal followers flashed by on both sides, clasping their fists in response.

"Fang Qin enforced the law unfairly. Immediately cut Fang Qin's post as a soldier at the city gate and demote him to a commoner!" Yuan Yao said.

"Obey!" Although the two relatives were taken aback for a moment, they immediately walked down and removed Fang Qin's armor without asking any further questions.

Seeing this scene, all the officials looked at each other in blank dismay, Guo Zu gasped, while Jin Dafu was shocked.

"Long live, it's the ignorant people, please spare Fang Qin!" Jin Dafu begged.

Even Yang Wu whispered: "My lord, is this unfair to Fang Qin? After all, it was because of him that the incident in Shatian caused a sensation in the entire city. Now those in the city who don't understand Chinese are all looking for a way out. If you want to learn Chinese, this merit is enough!"

Yuan Yao said with a smile: "Yang Wu, don't worry, for a loyal subordinate like Fang Qin, what if I can only let him be an ordinary soldier?"

Yang Wu's eyes lit up, "Could it be that the lord wants to...?"

Yuan Yao nodded, patted Yang Wu's back, and said, "You go and get [-] yuan first! I'm useful!"

Yang Wu nodded, and ordered a personal attendant to prepare.

"Jin Dafu!! You have made great achievements in reporting, so now I will reward you with [-] yuan in the name of the king of the new Baekje Kingdom! I will also exempt you from entry tax and market tax for one month!" Yuan Yao said.

"Ah?...!" Jin Dafu was stunned, and he didn't react until a palace guard put ten strings of copper coins and a plate in front of him.

"Xiaomin thank you for your great kindness!" Jin Dafu kowtowed excitedly.

Afterwards, the guards hung the ten strings of tinkling copper coins on Jin Dafu's arms.

Yuan Yao also smiled and stood up from the throne, walked down the steps, came to Fang Qin, helped Fang Qin up, and said: "Fang Qin, if you have done something wrong, you will be punished, and if you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded. The instructions have played a role in promoting, this is a great achievement, based on this achievement, I decided to break the rules and promote you to the general of the trilogy!"

When Fang Qin heard this, tears welled up in his eyes, he bowed deeply, and bowed to Yuan Yao's feet, and said excitedly: "I, Fang Qin, will never be indebted to my lord for today's kindness!!"

At this time, all the officials in the lobby realized that, under the leadership of Guo Zu, they all bowed to Yuan Yao: "My king is wise!! I respect you!!"

Yuan Yao is in a great mood! !
The matter was resolved satisfactorily, but in order to make Jin Dafu boastful, he gave a command arrow with the engraved words: Bestow Jin Dafu, this decree can be exempted from city gate tax and market tax for [-] days!
In order to boost the morale of the capital, Fang Qin was bestowed with a piece of bright light armor, and at the same time promoted to the captain of the city gate as a general of Zhonglang!
