Chapter 340(2/2)
When the tax collectors heard this, they were immediately suffocated. The eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, even like Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, and even the nine thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, had a fourth-rank eunuch. Although their power was extremely powerful, the cabinet ministers were timid when they saw them, and the six ministers and nine ministers had to kneel down to pay salutes when they saw them. Local officials were proud of being their godsons and disciples. They were so shameless that they were to be slaves, but that was not the court system after all.
Zhang Zhong was just an eighth-rank eunuch sent by the Sili Supervisor. He had to be less than Hua Yu. If he was serious, who should give him a bow to Hua Yu first. Zhang Zhong had to get off his horse and said in anger: "I am here to discuss the rank of your Lord Hua. I am trusted by the emperor. Our family has been entrusted with this position of governor of Bazhou. Our family is loyal and spares no effort for the emperor. However, your Hua Tui Officer accepted bribes from the unruly people, repeatedly obstructing tax collectors from doing the job and preventing the people from exploring minerals. Our family asked you, do you know your crime?"
Hua Yu said calmly: "Eunuch Zhang, whoever accused me of accepting bribes should take out evidence and evidence. If you have real evidence, you can speak. As for obstructing tax collectors from doing things, where does this start? The tax collectors made a clever name, and those tax collectors were not included in the court system. It was clearly a false public service for personal gain. If the people were disturbed, they would report to the officials. The duties of the officials were to be at peace with the people. As for the digging of gold mines..."
Hua Yu sneered, and said in a hid needle in Mianli: "Since ancient times, I have never heard of mine surveying to dig up the houses of the people. What's more, these so-called mine surveyors also specialize in picking homes of wealthy and wealthy merchants to dig gold. That's true that one digs one by one. Without gold, you will definitely dig out gold. As a Gu'an official, maintaining local public order is a matter for the subordinates, so how can they ignore it?"
Zhang Zhong also chuckled and said, "The clever words and despicable words are just to excuse yourself. Do you want someone to prove it before you can confess your guilt? Come on..."
Mo Danjiu immediately greeted the back and shouted: "Bring the witness up!"
Immediately, there were sounds of shackles, and more than a dozen people in tattered clothes and bruised bodies were pushed and escorted by tax collectors. Mo Shanjiu called out and fell to the ground one by one.
Mo Danjiu pointed at Hua Yu and shouted: "You guys, did Hua Yu take your money before he stood up for you and obstructed the tax collectors from doing the job?"
With a crisp sound, an old man shivered in pain by the thrust, and he spoke tremblingly: "Yes...yes, Lord Hua... no, no, it was Hua Gou Official who collected ten taels of silver from my family and said that I was allowed to go to the city to sell chickens and would not pay taxes. If anyone wanted to collect taxes, he would come forward to protect me..."
Hua Yu had known that these people would find a way to deal with him, but he didn't expect that he would use such a despicable method. The people raised a few chickens at home, and they could not sell a total of one or two taels of silver. Will someone pay ten taels of silver to give bribes?
With the old man, under the whip, the other people closed their eyes and began to talk nonsense according to the words of Mo Dan Jiu Sect. Hua Yu fell in love with his wife and shamelessly asked to accompany him for a night to ensure their family's safety. How much money was his family's fire charcoal shop extorted by Hua Yu. As a result, under his cover, how much taxes were evaded. Hua Yu initially wanted to make a statement, but later he became more and more absurd. Zhang Zhong clearly framed him, and nothing he said was useless, so he stood there and sneered.
These people were all hawkers who were arrested by the Taxation Bureau because they had no money to pay taxes or attempted to escape. They were tortured and instructed to harm Hua Yu. These people were beaten up and had to be at the mercy of others.
Zhang Zhong sat upright and listened to the people talking all the time, then sneered and said, "There is already a witness, and this physical evidence. Of course, you have to search your underworld before you know it. Come on, take Hua Yu down for me and search the entire mansion!"
Immediately, two tax collectors from a ruffian background rushed forward happily, shook the rope and tied Hua Yu up tightly. These people were usually inspected by Hua Yu's subordinates. Ding Zhuang and others scolded the rogues to manage. Now they can actually treat a scoundrel as a prisoner at their mercy. They are really happy.
Several angry inspectors wanted to take their subordinates to save the adults, but were severely stopped by the eyes of the Hua Prison. The tax collectors were ten times more efficient than the inspection detectives under the Hua Prison. After a moment, they returned excitedly with the legendary dirty things.
Zhang Zhong turned over and got off the horse. He walked into the hall with a swagger. After living in the case, he sat down with a golden sword, slapped the gavel and shouted: "Come on, take the criminal Hua Yu. Hua Yu, do you know that he is guilty and plead guilty?"
Hua Yu was dragged to the hall and pressed to the ground. He still proudly raised his head and sneered disdainfully: "I am guilty of being admitted!"
Zhang Zhong smiled grimly and said, "There are all evidences and physical evidence. You dare to be stubborn. Come on, let me down and beat me until he confesses guilty!"
"I'll do it!" Mo Danjiu spat in his palm, snatched a water and fire stick from a tax collector, and swung it a stick. Today, they were going to find a reason to beat Hua Tui Guan to death in the court. This way, he established his authority and let no one in Gu'an dare to resist.
Hua Yu groaned, gritted his teeth and said nothing. However, his body couldn't help but twitch. The inspectors were all over the place, and everyone's eyes were full of fire. However, Hua Yu knew that the time had not come, so he must take this bitterness and could not let his subordinates resist, so he took a breath and laughed: "Okay, come again!"
"Bang!" Another stick came out, and Hua Yu's forehead was sweating, and his muscles were tightly tight. He suddenly shouted with anger: "Little bastard, aren't you full? Take out your breasts and beat your Grandpa Hua hard! Hahahaha..."
Mu Xiucai stood on a desk in the county school and shouted loudly: "Everyone, the big thing is wrong. In order to protect us, Huatui Officer did not allow tax collectors to impose violent taxes and bully good people. Now Zhang Baishai criticized several people and defrauded Lord Hua of corruption and bribes. He is now promoting the government's powerful power and is going to beat Lord Hua to death!"
When the students from the county school were heard, there was a commotion. Hua Yu was honest and enforced the law impartially. He was always respected by the villagers. Especially these students who could enter the county school were well-off, and everyone was afraid of following in Ai Jing's footsteps. Hua Tui became the only life-saving straw in their hearts. Now that he heard that Zhang Zhong was going to attack him, he suddenly became panicked.
Mu Xiucai said loudly: "Brothers, we cannot sit idly by and watch Zhang Zhong kill Zhongliang like this. In my opinion, we should immediately rush to see Zhang Zhong and show him the people's opinions of Gu'an. We should not do anything to do it at will. If the Hua Tui official is harmed by the treacherous slander, such ambition thief will no longer be scruples, and we may all die and have no place to bury him!"
"Okay! Brother Mu said it well, I'll go with you, let's go to Zhang Zhong to reason with it!" Someone from the audience began to drink. After a while, the whole county school was like boiling boiling water. Even the two respected old masters waved the ruler and went to the streets.
The petition team shouted slogans while walking. When the people who heard the news heard that the Hua Tui Officer was going to be beaten to death, Zhang Pipi was going to squeeze Gu'an out of the way. They responded one after another. More and more people participated in the area, and the slogans were shouted became more and more intense. I don't know when who took the lead, but the "release Hua Tui Officer" had already changed from "releasing the Hua Tui Officer and returning the Gu'an side to "beating Zhang Pipi to death and driving away the tax collector's dog."
Soon the petition group of dozens of students became a huge team of more than 2,000 people. They shook their hoes, wooden sticks, forks, and clutched stones, tiles, broken bricks, and their honest faces were replaced by the ferocious and ferocious reflection of anger. They rushed to the government office in a mighty way, and a civil rebellion broke out...
In Bazhou Prefecture, Yang Ling crossed his legs and drank tea gently.
Unfortunately, it would be great if someone beat her shoulders again. Yang Ling looked back regretfully and saw Song Xiaoaihan looking straight ahead with pretty face, and immediately gave up the idea of corruption: If she had to bother her, she would probably have vomited blood.
Fan Moli smiled patiently and said, "Dude, this is a pair of dragon and phoenix jade bottles. It is said to be from the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. Why is it worth 5,000 taels of silver? Look?"
Yang Ling took one and took a look. The jade color was gentle and the carved lines were gorgeous and unrestrained. As for whether it was worth it, he couldn't tell. Anyway, it was to delay time, Yang Ling gently stacked it on the table and said, "Look at it, big stick, look."
When Fan Zhizhou saw Dabanmao's figure, he couldn't help but grin: "Just like this, he... knows how to appreciate antiques?"
I saw Dabanmai pick up the dragon and phoenix jade bottle, look horizontally, look vertically, then close one eye and look into the bottle, then swing a big slap and slap the bottle twice, which made Fan Zhizhou frightened.
After reading the big stick, he shook his head regretfully and put the jade bottle on the table. He suddenly saw a big black and round-bellied jar with a big mouth and a smile and praised: "That bottle is not good, this is good, Duke, look at this jar..."
The big stick hammer bounced his fingers twice, and the jar made a clear sound of gold and stone. It was very pleasant: "This jar is a good thing."
Zhengzhou Fan showed a look of surprise. Seeing this rash man's method of identifying antiques is very amateur. It turns out that he is really an expert. This jar looks inconspicuous. However, it is an antique from the Warring States Period and a rare treasure that is hard to find. Zhengzhou Fan has been coveting this jar for a long time. He wanted to put it in an inconspicuous place, but he randomly introduced a few words to make excuses. When Yangling auctioned, he sent someone to buy it. Now...
Zhengzhou Fan had to stand the pain and walked forward to explain the age, origin, and value of this jar. Yang Ling heard that its land was more than six times higher than the beautiful jade dragon and phoenix bottle, and couldn't help but be surprised: "It's indeed a good thing!"
Yang Ling glanced at Liu Dabangchui and couldn't help but think: "Is this guy really stupid? He said he was stupid and had amazing words from time to time, which really made people confused."
When Liu Dabangcui heard that the thing he was interested in was indeed a good person, he couldn't help but smile: "I just said that those pair of broken bottles are beautiful, and at most two peach blossoms are inserted inside. If there are too many, they will not be stuffed in. This jar is better, and you can pickle five or six kilograms of pickles!"
"Puff!" Yang Ling spit out a mouthful of tea. Magistrate Fan couldn't dodge. A lot of tea was splashed on his official robe. Yang Ling choked and coughed. He gestured and couldn't speak apologized for a while. Song Xiaoai behind him was already laughing. Lord Fan shook his robe in disappointment, but he didn't dare to say anything disrespectful.
At this moment, a horse was about to get up and ran into the warehouse in anger, kneeling to the ground with a thud, sweating and panting, "Master, Gu'an's civil war, thousands of people rushed into the government office, and more than ten people including the tax collector Mo Danjiu were unable to escape, and were beaten to death by the mob and dismembered with farm tools. It was a terrible sight.
The governor Zhang Eunuch Zhang fled back to the Tax Publican's Office. The mobs attacked the Tax Publican's Office and robbed the people who were imprisoned against the tax. The doors, windows, carriages, tables, chairs and other items were burned. The officials, Gansui and others were all beaten and seriously injured and were dying. Now..."
When Fan Zhizhou heard this, he was frightened and said, "Where is Eunuch Zhang, where is Eunuch Zhang now?"
"Eunuch Zhang led his men to Bazhou. The mob chased and killed him along the way with bamboo poles and tiles. When he arrived in Xinzhuang, Eunuch Zhang was caught by the mob and had to go into the village to take refuge and occupy the big house in the town. He was in a stalemate with the mob. The little one was... it was sent by Magistrate Qiao to ask for help."
Fan Moli was stunned when he heard this. Under his own rule, there was a mob rebellion. This... If the court pursued it..., and Eunuch Zhang, what should I do if Eunuch Zhang had a bad time? When Magistrate Fan thought of it, he was anxious like a mosquito on a hot pan.
Yang Ling coughed and said to Fan Zhizhou: "Mr. Fan, why are you panic? Eunuch Zhang is in danger and has to send someone to rescue him quickly. Thousands of mobs... It seems that Jiang Guerrillas can only be used to make the move. What do you think?"
"Yes, yes!" Fan Moli was awakened and hurriedly said, "Thank you, the Duke of the State, please send someone to urge Jiang Guerrilla to discuss. Master, immediately send someone to the barracks to invite Lord Jiang to come."
The master hurriedly said, "Master, Jiang Guerrilla is in the city. He often went to the prison in the past two days. He only asked for a note from the young man half an hour ago and went to the prison."
Fan Zhizhou was stunned: "He is a guerrilla general, not a supplication officer. Why do you go to prison for old age? Could it be that there are some old friends and relatives who commit crimes, so go to visit me?" At this time, he didn't bother to think about it carefully. He stomped his feet and said: "That's better, hurry up, hurry up. You can go in person and invite Jiang Guerrilla back to me immediately."
Yang Ling slowly picked up the tea, smiled faintly and said, "I think we'll stop here today. Lord Fan's official business is important, so let's go to major issues first."
Fan Moli received a general amnesty and hurriedly apologized and left.
A faint smile appeared on Yang Ling's lips: It's time for Jiang Bin to take action, and then these corrupt officials will be like moths flying into the fire...
