"My lord, you are changing your concept!
You can't blame officials for something that didn't happen! ! "
Zhao Jun sneered: "Haha, it didn't happen. Well, I ask you. Ask yourself, and ask your conscience seriously, if you have little or no conscience, if you really encounter that kind of situation, will you do it?" this way?"
Li Yi said immediately: "Of course not."
Zhao Jun said coldly: "One thousand taels!"
Li Yi was stunned: "What?"
Zhao Jun continued: "Ten thousand taels!"
Li Yi was stunned.
Zhao Jun continued: "Isn't ten thousand taels okay? Then one hundred thousand taels! As long as you do this, those businessmen are willing to give you one hundred thousand taels, will you do it?"
Li Yi's face turned blue and white.
Zhao Jun sneered and continued: "If you don't agree with one hundred thousand taels, then one million taels!
So, you should be tempted by this, right? "
Li Yi's throat rolled and he was speechless.
Zhao Jun burst out laughing.
"Hahahahaha, Li Yi, you can't withstand such a temptation yourself. How can you be sure that those officials who have already embarked on this road and have experience can withstand the temptation of gold and yuan from businessmen?
Being able to adhere to the moral integrity and moral bottom line of an official!
Moreover, the real situation may be more exciting than what I describe!
When even one million cannot buy you, then what is on your table again is ten million! Even 100 million!
Can you still bear it? "
Li Yi leaned against the wall dejectedly.
But after a while, he said again: "Even so, everything is already too late, the prince is already too late.
Now officials from all seven or eight levels of Yunzhou County are involved, and even you can't stop it. If you try to stop it, you're going against everyone's pocketbook, and no one will condone you.
And you’re not sure you’re going to kill us all, are you?
If they were all killed, the entire Yunzhou County would be paralyzed in an instant.
So, Your Majesty, now that the matter has come to this, you still need to learn to close your eyes when it’s time to close them.
Do you think the officials don’t know what’s going on inside the pass?
But what can he do to the officials? Such a trend has long spread in the officialdom.
If you touch them, you are going against the officials all over the world. Maybe the entire Song Dynasty will be shut down early the next morning!
What can the officials do? What can be done?
In order to maintain the Song Dynasty, we can only turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye, so that everyone can live their own non-aggression, isn't it good? "
"Zhao Jun had no patience to continue talking to him. He stood up and said coldly: "Li Yi, don't think that without you butcher Li, I will eat pigs with hair on them.
There are many people in the world who want to be officials. Without you, there will be another group.
Moreover, the Song Dynasty is the Song Dynasty, and Yunzhou County is Yunzhou County. Don’t compare the Song Dynasty to Yunzhou County. That approach worked in the Song Dynasty, but it won’t work here!
I am the king here, and it is not your turn yet!
Do you think no one knows about your arrangements? Do you think those officials are now ready to unite to strike?
Do you think you can still go out?
I will tell you clearly today, it is impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Your back-up plan has been taken care of by me, and now those officials probably don’t even know where you have been?
And you are absolutely dead!
What I said, even if the King of Heaven comes, it will be useless! "
Zhao Jun's words immediately shocked Li Yi, causing him to stumble and fall to the ground. Youzi couldn't believe that his backhand was intercepted.
This is his only way to survive!
But Zhao Jun was no longer interested in looking at him.
With a slight signal, a secret guard immediately stepped forward to open the cell door. Zhao Jun walked slowly in and came to Zhu Tuo.
Looking at Zhu Tuo and Zhao Jun's face slowly calmed down.
"Why?"
Zhao Jun suddenly asked.
Zhu Tuo was stunned and looked up at Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun continued: "Not a penny of that gold, silver and jewelry has been used."
Only then did Zhu Tuo understand what the prince meant, and said with a wry smile:
“I’m too timid to use it.
I didn’t dare to spend a penny! "
"But you dare to accept it! You dare to accept it but you don't dare to spend it?"
Zhu Tuo shook his head helplessly: "Your Majesty, sometimes I don't even have the right to choose."
"Is it because of your mother?"
Zhu Tuo was stunned for a moment and then nodded slowly.
Zhao Jun suddenly said: "When daytime starts today, the Yunhui Army will arrest people throughout Yunzhou City.
None of your relatives or those involved will be able to escape. They will all become accomplices of businessmen in bribing officials and be executed. "
"Then my mother..."
Zhu Tuo was a little anxious.
Zhao Jun said expressionlessly: "How old is your father this year?"
Zhu Tuo said: "My mother is over seventy."
Zhao Jun nodded:
"Taizu Taizu of the Song Dynasty once said that all our people in the Song Dynasty who are seventy or above and have not committed any heinous crimes can have their gold and silver exempted from punishment."
Zhu Tuo immediately showed joy.
Zhao Jun asked: "Do you have money?"
Zhu Tuo immediately said: "There are still three hundred taels of silver in the guilty officer's home. They are all earned from his salary accumulated over the years. It is a fair amount of money. Can it be enough for my mother to be exempted from the crime?"
Zhao Jun nodded: "She was just instigated. One hundred taels is enough."
"Great! Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Tuo was moved to tears.
What he worried about the most was his old mother. Now that he knew that his mother could be spared from punishment, he was extremely happy. Even if he died now, he would have no regrets.
But Zhao Jun said: "For the things that some of you have committed, I can allow you to make meritorious service for your crimes. However, during the period of making meritorious service for your crimes, if anyone commits the crime again, he will be beheaded immediately! I hope you will take care of yourself!"
After saying that, Zhao Jundang turned around and left the cell. Two secret guards came in, took Zhu Tuo out, who was still stunned, and then moved him to another cell and locked him up again.
Facing Zhu Tuo's puzzled look, the secret guard still explained coldly: "Which room holds the condemned prisoner? You don't have to die, so naturally you have to make room for it. When daybreak, I don't know if the room will be enough." Woolen cloth."
Zhu Tuo finally reacted, collapsed to the ground, and cried softly!
Crying with joy!
He didn't expect that he actually had a chance to live!
Who is willing to die if he can live?
And their conversation was naturally heard clearly by Li Yi in this dungeon where even a pin dropping could be clearly heard.
At this moment, I suddenly shouted in dissatisfaction!
"Why! Why! Your Majesty! Will I submit? Will I submit? It's all bribery! Why should I die! Can Zhu Xiujie (Zhu Tuo) live?
Surrender! Do you not surrender, my lord? ! ! "
Zhao Jun, who was standing outside the cell watching all this, looked at the scene where Li Yi was holding the cell door open and shouting at him that he was dissatisfied and sneered: "What are you dissatisfied with?
Did you listen to the people who lost the project because you took bribes and complained about it?
Since you don’t listen yourself, then what right do you have to shout dissatisfaction?
This king is just doing to you what you have done to the people. What can you do if you don't accept it?
Haha...that's ridiculous! "
After saying that, Zhao Jun turned around and stepped into the darkness, left here, and ignored Li Yi's shouts.
