Before the execution, the onlookers were still whispering and discussing privately. After dozens of people's heads fell to the ground, there was a dead silence outside the government office. Most people had the same expression, staring in shock and dumbfounded.

Most of the villagers have seen government officials punishing criminals, but they have never seen so many people killed at one time, and all of them were officials. Even if the villagers do not understand criminal law, they also know that officials from the third grade of the border cannot kill at will.

But the fact is before our eyes, the governor of Jeju is dead.

More than one of the villagers who were watching were frightened. At this time, their blood was rising and their heartbeats were racing. Although these officials all deserved their death according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, what they did today completely confirmed their reputation as cruel officials.

In front of the public, he could not show his complicated and entangled emotions. He spoke in a cold voice and recounted the crimes of the killed officials. Then he gave a stern order that all levels of government in prefectures, prefectures and counties must enforce the law impartially and uphold justice for the people. If they are the people,

If you are not satisfied with the judgment of the state government, you can go directly to the Yushitai to redress your grievances and file a complaint. No one is allowed to stop the infringement.

After all, the Yushitai is the government agency that handles major and important cases. In order to prevent the villagers from running to Chang'an because of trivial matters, they have opened the door to convenience and at the same time set strict restrictions. If the Yushitai personally

After the trial, it was found that there was nothing wrong with the cases heard by the officials at all levels, and those who went to the Yushitai to seek redress of their grievances were all sent to the army.

Until the others mounted their horses and returned, the onlookers did not cheer. They just gave way in fear and watched the others ride away.

Datou also found that his heart was heavy. When he left Jeju City, he followed him on horseback and said, "Sir, the villagers have never seen such a bloody scene. They were frightened to death. They may also be worried that cheering and applauding will cause criminals.

The family members were retaliating, so I didn’t speak out. When I come back to my senses, I will definitely applaud and applaud."

He frowned slightly and didn't answer.

Yu Yi also knew that he was under great psychological pressure at this time, so he answered from the side, "Master Fu is right. Although you are doing the Rakshasa thing of killing people on a large scale, what you are pregnant with is that if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?"

The heart of a Bodhisattva only seeks to keep the officialdom clean and upright, and not to gain a false reputation. At present, feudal towns are divided and wars are raging. The people's hearts are inherently unstable, and the corruption of officials will make the people of Li people hate the court.

We have lost even more confidence. We must kill these officials who are bad for the country and the foundation of the country, to serve as a warning to others, to restore the dignity of the imperial court, and to regain the hearts and minds of the people."

"Yes, yes," Datou repeatedly echoed, "If it were a peaceful and prosperous time, we could take a long-term approach to rectify the administration of officials and slowly correct deviations. However, the current political situation is unstable and the imperial court is about to send troops to fight against rebellion. If we want to rectify the administration of officials as soon as possible and ensure that the imperial decrees are passed, the only way is

Use thunderous means and shock with severe punishment."

After all, he was young, and even though he knew what he was doing was right, he still couldn't help but feel a little heavy. Hearing the two's relief, the gloom in his heart dissipated a lot. Everything they said came to his heart, and he would rather bear the burden of the cruel official.

Even if they are called names, corrupt officials must be eliminated as soon as possible to stabilize the people's hearts.

After regaining his composure, he began to reflect on himself, not on what he had done before, but on the entanglement and instability of his mood. If the people had applauded in unison when he beheaded these officials, his mood would not be so bad.

, this shows that his mentality is still immature. An official who sincerely serves the country and the people should not worry that the people will misunderstand him, nor should he expect everyone to understand his difficulties and helplessness.

My level is still low, and subconsciously I still hope to be recognized and thanked by the world. To put it bluntly, I still hope that people will appreciate it. This is actually wrong. What is the difference between it and repaying kindness.

If there is anything to say, it will be long, if there is nothing to say, it will be short. Everyone set off at noon. Without the burden of Zhang Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the group of people galloped northwest and returned to Chang'an in the evening of the next day.

After returning to the Yushitai, he found that Shi Xuanming was not there again. When he asked the accountant, he found that Shi Xuanming had withdrawn another two thousand taels of silver today. Unexpectedly, he ran to Anxiang Tower again.

Although he was dissatisfied, he did not go to Anxiang Tower to find out what was going on. He left for a few days. The Yushitai and the Ministry of Revenue had a large backlog of official business, which he needed to deal with immediately.

The first thing to deal with is the Jeju matter. Although the Yushitai supervises all officials, the performance of

However, his duties also clearly stipulated that he went to Jeju and killed dozens of officials from top to bottom. This was a serious violation of the rules for handling cases. The common people were the people of the imperial court, and the officials were also officials of the imperial court. After killing so many officials, he must follow

The court said something.

Immediately after he came back, he wrote a note to the emperor. The note did not explain why he had violated laws and regulations and killed so many officials. He simply stated the facts of the case, and then asked the court to punish him for handling the case in violation of regulations.

After writing the book, he immediately sent someone to the palace overnight. What he had done in Jeju must have been reported back to Chang'an by now. Not everyone in the court, civil and military, was afraid of him. There were also many who only had eyes for the law.

Veteran ministers and officials, there will definitely be someone participating in the court tomorrow morning. They must let the emperor know about this and figure out how to deal with it in advance.

Although he accepted the offer of apology, he was also worried that the emperor would really punish him under pressure. It was not that he was afraid of being demoted, but that once the emperor issued an order to blame him, even if it was just a simple criticism, he would kill him in Jeju's pain.

It will also lose its deterrent effect to a large extent. At that time, other local officials will take chances and think that he has been reprimanded and criticized by the emperor for his reckless behavior and will not do similar things in the future.

Only when the emperor does not impose any punishment on himself will local officials be afraid. They worry that if they bend the law for personal gain and become corrupt, something similar to the Jeju officials may happen to them. Only when local officials are in danger can they be impartial.

By enforcing the law and being diligent and caring for the people, we can regain the hearts of the people in the shortest possible time.

After sending the notes, I started to look through the official documents piled up on my desk. Most of these official documents were sent back by the supervisory censors who were previously sent to various places. They talked about the problems discovered during the inspections in various places. Some were just simple reports, and some were specific requests for instructions.

How should things be handled? He needs to give a reply to this kind of official document.

It took two hours to process this pile of official documents. The imperial court is nearing the end of its formation of a new army. Almost 300,000 new troops have been recruited. It won't be long before they send out troops to suppress rebellion and suppress bandits. Where will the money be spent next?

More, what he had done in Jeju before was also a result of the Yushitai sect.

In order to strengthen the prestige of the inspection envoys in various places, only by making local officials have awe of the censor, the censor who serves as the inspection envoy can better perform his duties. Whether it is the next house raid, the local officials take the initiative to spend money to eliminate disasters.

No matter what, it can proceed smoothly.

Again, no official of the ninth rank or above can truly be absolutely upright and honest. If the court wants to investigate whoever it is, it will ensure that they will not be wronged unjustly. However, the court also has its own difficulties. All officials

There are problems. We cannot investigate all the officials. Otherwise, who will be in charge of the place and handle official affairs? This situation is like a big hall. Most of the masonry and tiles have problems. If the problematic masonry and tiles are removed,

All the tiles were torn down and the main hall collapsed.

At the second watch, I rushed to the Ministry of Revenue alone. The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of people's livelihood and finance, and receives a large number of official documents from all over the country every day. Some documents can be processed by the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, while others must be decided by him, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, personally.

When dealing with the official affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he has one head and two big heads. Almost all of them need money. Money needs to be used everywhere, but the treasury is already empty. Where can he get money? In order to rectify the officialdom, he has turned himself into a human being.

It’s a cruel official who is hated by others. In order to raise money for disaster relief and military supplies, he can’t turn himself into a bandit who robs homes and homes.

Time passed very quickly when dealing with official duties. Unknowingly, it was almost four o'clock in the morning. He hurriedly left the Ministry of Household Affairs and returned to the censor's desk to change into his official uniform and go to court. He had to be present in person at the court this morning because many officials would participate in the impeachment performance against him.

He had to appear in the court to make everyone scrupulous, and at the same time, he could relieve some pressure on the emperor. Although what he did in Jeju was really helpless, it was still handling the case illegally. If the emperor was dedicated to protecting it, he might have to do it.

He was besieged and questioned by the officials.

On the way to the palace, he felt very complicated. He not only hoped that the emperor could understand his good intentions and support him with all his strength, but also hoped that the emperor would punish him severely and dismiss him from office. He was too much of an official.

I was tired. Although it was very difficult when I rushed to Gezao Mountain alone, it was not as stressful as it was now.
