Chapter 103 Severe punishment is necessary

Seeing that Wang Yaochen and others didn't look back, they soon disappeared. The old minister didn't know what to do and was stunned.

After a while, someone asked Sun Mian: "Prime Minister Sun Tong, what should I do now? You won't really hand over the account book to Henan Prefecture, right? If you do this today, we will definitely be troubled by Punisher Wang Tong in the future."

Sun Mian covered her stomach and frowned: "Oh, stand here for a while, my stomach started to make a fuss again. You should go home early, and life will still be passed. Oh, no, I can't help it, let's go first!"

After saying that, he turned around and hurriedly left with his followers.

The old director stared at the back of Sun Mian and others leaving. After a while, he said to the people around him in disbelief: "Leave? Just leave like that? Then what should we do?"

A group of branch officials shook their heads and sighed, "Who knows what to do?"

If you want to cry, make a fuss, or even beat and scold people, Wang Yaochen has to come over to coax it. Why are you unsuccessful? These people are also officials of the court. They are shameless and have to be shameless. But pretending to be sick and extorting them on the spot, the nature of the entire incident has completely changed. Not to mention the joint memorial, it is useless to write blood books together. Using this dirty method to avoid cash and households, etc. is worse than making trouble for troublemakers. If the Henan Prefecture retreats, the court will not be able to control these branch officials.

Originally, they had a quarrel with each other, and Wang Yaochen must have made concessions, so it might be possible if they didn't check the amount of money this time. Now, it's better to force Wang Yaochen to the corner, so they must check the family background of these people.

The sun above my head was burning, and everyone was sweating constantly. The clothes were wet and wet, and it was so dry. Is it hard to say that it felt? The old man was at a loss and was at a loss. He didn't send money to the money house and counted the copper coins into the household, so his family had to go from a middle household to a upper household. Thinking of the five sons, twenty or thirty grandchildren, one was less capable than the other, and he could not earn a penny for the family, but he spent one better than the other. But everyone said that it was easy to get money into the money house, but it was difficult to get out when you went in. If you spent more, you had to pay there. What's the point of living if you didn't have money in your own hands?

I just felt dizzy and the old minister could no longer support him and fell to the ground.

Seeing that the old chief stern fell to the ground, the official next to him said impatiently: "Hello, why are you pretending at this time? The people from Henan Prefecture have already left with the doctor! Even if you don't get up from now on, you can't count as little as a penny!"

After saying a few words, when someone panicked when he saw Laoduan Censor on the ground, an official stepped forward to support him. Seeing Laoduan Censor's face was as weak as gold paper, his breath was weak, he hurriedly called out: "No, Laoduan Censor has really had heatstroke this time!"

The censor was busy for a while, pinched the people and poured cold water on them, and finally woke the old minister up.

It was meaningless to get together here at this time. Even the medical bureau was embarrassed to go there. Two people who knew him were holding the old minister, and someone helped him carry his purse and took him home. The crowd gradually dispersed.

When he returned to Henan Prefecture, Wang Yaochen breathed a sigh of relief, changed his public uniform, and ordered the people in the yamen to arrive at the Transportation Commission.

In the garden of the Transport Department’s Houya, Liu Xiaoyi was packing things on the stone table beside Xu Ping. When he saw Wang Yaochen coming, he bowed and smiled, "Prime Minister Wang Tong came at the right time. I was about to go to your house."

Wang Yaochen said strangely: "What should I go to my house?"

Liu Xiaoyi pointed to the bag on the stone table and said with a smile: "These two days, people from Yongzhou have come and brought some flower flowers with barbaric specialties there. They are very gentle and are especially suitable for summer clothes. This is a rare thing in the Central Plains. The wife specially ordered to send a few horses to the Tongzong Mansion and make some summer clothes for the female family at home."

Huaqu is a specialty of the barbarian area of ​​Yongzhou and is one of ramie cloths. However, the process is extremely complicated, and one piece is equivalent to the price of dozens of ramie cloths. Because it is produced in the barbarian land, it is not even tribute, and it is basically not seen on the market. Wang Yaochen, a northerner, has never heard of it, but has thanked Xu Ping on the side.

These are the affairs of the women of Lin Suniang and Wang Yaochen's wife. Wang Yaochen couldn't figure it out, and Xu Ping couldn't figure it out, so he just asked Liu Xiaoyi to send it out soon.

Xu Ping's six years in Yongzhou brought earth-shaking changes there. He was named Yongning County Magistrate. Every year, he brought local local products to Xu Ping's family, which was accustomed to him. Xu Ping's gifts were generally various books published in the Central Plains that were difficult to see in Yongzhou, mainly Confucian classics, and occasionally there were several Buddhist scriptures and Taoist scriptures. The Central Plains is the world, and it is the responsibility of the court to educate the frontier. Giving something is in line with Xu Ping's identity, and it is indeed not cheap there.

Liu Xiaoyi left, Wang Yaochen sat down on the stone bench, and the public official came to tea.

Seeing Wang Yaochen's face full of spring breeze, Xu Ping asked with a smile: "Look at you, you feel refreshed, I don't think there is any major incident."

"Why is there nothing big? It's big!" Wang Yaochen slapped the stone table and laughed, and told the story again, and finally said: "It's all up to Yunxing to send Tan Hu to the medical bureau. Could it be that you have thought of someone pretending to be sick?"

Xu Ping smiled and shook his head: "I'm not a god who can calculate and calculate, how can I think of those? It's because the weather is really hot, and many of the branch officials are old and some are very common in heatstroke. I didn't expect that someone came to tell me about the pre-censor situation and said that Sun Tongzhang, who rushed over, was sick, and I remembered it."

Wang Yaochen nodded, and his heart was clear. Xu Ping must have suspected that today's incident was planned by Sun Mian, so when someone mentioned that he was sick, Xu Ping immediately thought that someone might pretend to be sick and hurriedly sent someone over. No matter how suspicious he was, there was no actual evidence, and people like Sun Mian would not leave any handles. Xu Ping's personality would not make things clear, and he was just aware of it.

After talking about what we encountered today, Wang Yaochen said: "I have already told the Censorate that from tomorrow, Henan Prefecture will work with Henan and Luoyang counties to investigate the family wealth of these branch officials one by one, and all of them will act in accordance with the new law. Yunxing, do you think this will force them too much?"

"It is necessary to force them tightly. If you don't give them a little color, how can they take you seriously in the future? Your Henan Prefecture magistrate is not easy to be a judge. But then again, these people are court officials and are involved with each other. There are always people who can speak in the court, and it is not good to be too forced. I don't think so. Tomorrow you will send people from the money house to the house and take the initiative to come to the door to let them deposit copper coins into the money house, and you say it was yours. You have shown that if there are still people who don't know how to politely, then you have nothing to say. One is one, two is two, and let the public officials go to their house to investigate."

"This is the best! Give them a step, and those who don't know how to lift up will have to use it to test the knife!"

The clay Buddha was still angry. He was so hot that Wang Yaochen was so angry that he was really shocked at first. How could he spare these people easily? He just took this opportunity to tighten the new law of paying for households.

Xu Ping put down the book in his hand and asked Wang Yaochen seriously: "Boyong, it is natural for the officials of the branch to deal with this. However, what are you going to do if you go there yesterday?"

Wang Yaochen's face darkened and he shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet, this matter is a bit tricky."

Even if it is pedantic, Wang Yaochen is not stupid at all. He naturally knew that the attitude of the public officials today must have been instructed by someone behind the scenes and deliberately made things worse. If there are only one or two officials against the public officials, then it is better to wear small shoes for him, and it is not impossible to find an excuse to be exiled to the army or even kill them directly. However, if the law does not punish the crowd, it will be difficult to deal with it if there are too many people.

Xu Ping sighed: "Boyong, I'll say something, you think about it yourself. Whether those branch officials are instructed by others or gathered to make trouble by themselves, they just have doubts about the new law and are greedy for money. It's not a big deal. After a few days of punishment, as long as you wake up, it's not a big deal. The public officials in Henan County are different. However, under your rule, they are actually instructed by outsiders to embarrass you. If you don't punish them seriously, your official position will not be easy."

"I know, it's because I know that I can't understand what they think. Henan County offended me under my rule. How did they end up? Yesterday, those branch officials succeeded. Can't I deal with them? What do they rely on?"

"What can you rely on?" Xu Ping shook his head, "No one in Luoyang City can protect them for doing such a thing. However, those minor officials may not be able to think so clearly. I guess they don't have to promise them anything else. As long as they tell those people that the officials of the branch office made a successful trouble yesterday, you will be kicked out of Henan Prefecture, and some more benefits will be given, and someone will dare to do it."

Wang Yaochen nodded, shook his head again, and sat there alone in meditating quietly.

As the top scholar, if he had not been mourned by his father, Wang Yaochen would never have been the chief judge of Henan Prefecture now. No matter how much he made a fuss yesterday, he would not have been demoted to his official position. At most, his career was affected. But officials like Xu Ping understood this point, and those minor officials might not have understood this. Henan Prefecture is an important place, and it is common for officials to exchange for gilding here. It is common for officials to change their posts in a year. The general judge is more stable, but many of them cannot do the full position. In the eyes of these minor officials, it is really nothing to change the chief of Henan Prefecture. So many officials have submitted memorials and complained, but they are not withdrawn?

Officials are not feudal, but officials are feudal. The public officials who are indomitable to squeeze out officials are not a big deal in the hands of these old officials. As long as they are united, officials can’t do anything about them. Luoyang is a royal city, and many public officials have been passed down from many generations. It is not uncommon for their families to work in the government office since the Five Dynasties. Their relationship is mixed, and some people are still in the court office in Tokyo, and they are brave.

Is this the case? If so, how should I fight back?

Wang Yaochen's eyes gradually became sharp.
