Chapter 232: Remediation
Li Ze finally met Bai Mingli himself.
In the past, he was just a person who existed in the information, and now he is standing alive in front of Li Ze. A thin, fucked and inconspicuous little old man, half a head shorter than Li Ze, his hair is a little sparse, and his long beard is neatly trimmed and well maintained. His cheekbones are prominent on his face, making his eye sockets look a little deep. When he smiles, his whole eyes narrow into a slit. The corners of his mouth are always raised, which makes everyone think that this person is smiling when he sees his face from any angle.
He seems kind, but in fact he is cruel and ruthless, good at dancing, and versatile. He is a real and honest person.
Li Ze knew very well that people like Bai Mingli were much harder to deal with than people like Zhu Shou. Zhu Shou was an enemy on the surface, with the army conquering each other, the winner was the king, and the loser was the enemy. But people like Bai Mingli were rooted at the bottom, and the iron-clad soldiers, no matter how many people from the top came and went, these officials at the bottom basically lived here for the rest of their lives.
The Bai family, which has been operating for several generations, will inevitably be a major obstacle to the expansion of Yixing Society in the future. Li Ze knows this very well. But at present, he wants to welcome this guy who defected to him with 120,000 enthusiasm.
Holding Bai Mingli's hand affectionately, he walked into the lobby side by side with him. The Yizhou generals who gathered together bet on the little old man's curiosity.
To be honest, these people are quite grateful to this old man. If it weren't for his rebellion, Cangxian and others could have managed to defeat him, but it's hard to say how much they have lost.
"Come on, everyone will know our great hero, Mr. Bai Mingli, Cang County." Li Ze laughed loudly and introduced Bai Mingli to everyone.
In the lobby, everyone, including Cao Xin, held their fists to Bai Mingli as a courtesy.
Bai Mingli's face flushed and he hurriedly bowed to return the greeting.
Li Ze sat on the big chair that originally belonged to Zhu Shou. The chair on the left side of the lower head was prepared for Cao Xin.
"Li Mi, prepare a chair for Mr. Bai." Li Ze pointed to the right.
"The little old man dares not, the little old man dares not!" Bai Mingli was a little confused and refused repeatedly.
Li Ze said: "Mr. Bai is the first hero today. You should receive this reward, so there is no need to refuse. If the old man refuses, how can the following generals be rewarded calmly? Do you think?"
Bai Mingli sat down helplessly.
"The little old man should have offered the city to the young master a long time ago. It is already a sin to drag it to this day." The thousand-year-old fox instinctively felt something was wrong, but he couldn't find anything wrong, so he could only talk about him.
"No, the time is just right, too early, it may not be successful. If it is too late, we will suffer a lot of casualties, which will reduce the fruits of victory." Li Ze said with a smile. "Mr. Bai's grasp of the timing is perfect."
Bai Mingli, who had no choice but to sit down, was uneasy. As a hero, he should have been happy to open his arms to accept his reward, but when he sat here, he was watched by the generals with shiny armor below, and he felt like he had been stripped naked.
Zhu Shou was already dead. No matter how fast he escaped, he was not as fast as Chengde Langqi. Less than twenty miles away from Cang County, he was caught up by Min Rou. Because he was once the leader of Yidijie, Min Rou left him a whole body.
"Young Master, Zhu Shou has been killed, and his adult eldest son and second son were also shot dead in the battle. What should he do with his family and some young children now?" Cao Xin asked with bowed.
Li Ze smiled and turned around to look at Bai Mingli: "Mr. Bai, how should you deal with these things?"
Bai Mingli was a little confused. He looked at Li Ze, and then sank for a while before gritting his teeth and said, "The remnants of Zhu thief should naturally kill them all, and no future troubles should be left."
"That's how much!" Li Ze leaned back and said compassionately: "There are still a few dolls here? How many are Zhu Shou's grandsons? They are still in their infancy. I can't bear to kill them."
Speaking of this, he stood up and said to Cao Xin: "Duke Cao, these women, children and young children, ask them if they have a place to go. If there is, give them some money and travel expenses. Let them go. No one can stop them or make things difficult."
"Young Master Renxin." Cao Xin said: "I understand."
Bai Mingli's face changed slightly, and he quickly lowered his head. His first suggestion was refuted mercilessly, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared. Is the little boy testing him?
"The second thing is that the officials of the Henghai Jiedushi and the officials under the jurisdiction of Cang County have basically been detained outside. Please ask the young master to inform you of these people for their disposal." Cao Xin continued.
Li Ze once again looked at Bai Mingli.
Bai Mingli panicked, and the feeling of anxiety came to his heart again.
Sure enough, Li Ze spoke again: "These people are all officials in Cang County. Mr. Bai is very familiar with them, but we are not very clear about it. Let Mr. Bai leave this matter to Mr. Bai. Whether to kill, punish, expel or retain it, it will be decided by Mr. Bai in one sentence."
Before Bai Mingjue's refusal, Cao Xin clapped and praised: "It's so good, I'm in a dilemma. I'm afraid of wronging the good people, and I'm worried that I'll indulge the bad people. I'll have too much time to delay the situation. I have to fight quickly. If Mr. Bai decides the case, it will naturally be fast and accurate. The person who comes will bring the prisoners in ten groups to the hall."
Seeing the officials of Yuan Henghai who were taken to the court, Bai Mingli felt cold and these people were basically locals! If Li Ze was not clear about these people, Bai Mingli really didn't believe it. Yixingtang has dealt with these people a lot over the years!
The reason why I did this was just a means to suppress myself. And it seemed that I had an extremely appreciate myself, giving myself the power to kill myself.
But this right is really a sting.
Before Li Ze's case, a small table was placed, and Bai Mingli helped to act as the temporary judge. Li Ze was flipping through the file, and Bai Mingli even felt that Li Ze was looking at the detailed file of these people. He really wanted to make a random judgment. Now Li Ze would not do anything to himself, but it would be hard to say in the future.
Gripping your teeth and making a fool of yourself, is there any other way now? People who are in charge of being offended, so why not be the master of Qingtian based on real evidence.
Even if I lose my reputation because of this, even if many of my relationships will end, I will never care about it. Chengde's young master is extremely powerful. Since he has to clean up his mind, he should be honest.
As an old official, Bai Mingli is familiar with the laws and regulations. As a local snake in Cang County, he knows everyone and the illegal affairs. If such people decide cases, they really mean to fight wherever they are. They will never fire empty guns. Some of them are extremely guilty and beheaded in court, while others are released on the spot, but more are the kind of shady. You say he is not a bad person. You say he is white, but you are stained with dirt. These people, Bai Mingli, have taken various punishments, including corporal punishment and fines.
The series of interrogations made the generals in the hall dizzy, and all sighed inwardly that this was truly a talent.
After the last person was taken down, Bai Mingli also had a pale face and stood up and bowed to Li Ze as if he had suffered a serious illness, "I wonder what the young master thinks is wrong?"
"No, no, Mr. Bai handled it very well. If we had to go through one trial after another, we would not know that it would be done in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse." Li Ze laughed: "Mr. Cao, these innocent officials who were released in court can be reused. Those who are guilty but not serious can be used with choices. We should also give them the opportunity to make meritorious service and atone for their sins."
Cao Xin smiled and nodded.
"Mr. Bai, look at your neatness in the case trial, you are really a talented person. Cao Gong, a few days ago, didn't you tell me that you lack a magistrate in Yizhou? I think this person is Mr. Bai. What does Cao Gong think of Mr. Bai?" Li Ze smiled like a flower.
"I can't get it, but I don't know if Mr. Bai is willing to surrender?" Cao Xin looked at Bai Mingli with a smile.
What opinions can Bai Mingli have?
After a lot of things before, he already understood what Li Ze meant. If he didn't follow Li Ze's intention, what would Zhu Shou's fate be!
"Thank you for your promotion, but the old man has not become an official, so he is afraid that he will betray his kindness." Bai Mingli bowed and said.
"You are much better than most officials. As long as you want to do it well, you will definitely do it well." Li Ze said quietly: "After going to Jingzhou, as long as you do your job sincerely, someone like Cao Gong will never treat you badly."
"yes!"
"I like him very much, so let him stay by my side as a personal guard, and wait until I have experienced it for a while before I can let it go for a good future. You and your eldest son have left Cang County, so let the second son Bai Qiuyi take care of his family and take care of the courtyard in Cang County." Li Ze continued.
"Thank you for your attention!" Bai Mingli bent down deeply. Li Ze's actions made him unable to say anything. In the eyes of outsiders, his Bai family was valued by Li Ze. He even jumped from a cattle man and a former minor official to become a magistrate of a state. He was an important figure in a state and a base camp where Li Ze started his career. Is there anything he was not satisfied with?
Only by being clear about yourself, but knowing what you will lose!
Of course, Li Ze would not care about his thoughts of being clear and reasonable. He should be rewarded if he has merits, but if he is guilty in the future, he will naturally be punished.
At this moment, he was standing in Zhu Shou's private warehouse, smiling extremely happily.
