Hua Yuncheng glanced at Feng Jinglun speechlessly and said: "Shilang Feng, it was you who violated the national law and abused the people first. It was also you who first established your own private laws instead of taking the natural constitution and national laws into consideration. This is not what I want." How decisive for you!
As for whether the people in the world are willing to be your tenants or my servants, it is up to their own free will. I will never force anyone to be a servant and not to be a tenant;
On the other hand, when Lingzi came to Tianjin to seek a living from a tenant because his contract expired, he was beaten by him and even beaten to death! Treat human life as nothing, and regard the king's law as nothing!
But now, it seems like you are the ones being oppressed, while I have become a despicable and shameless person! It is truly the most ridiculous thing in the world! "
With that said, Hua Yuncheng shouted loudly: "Take him down, put him in prison, and severely interrogate him for his misdeeds!"
Feng Jinglun became even more angry after hearing this: "You, you..."
At this time, Hua Yuncheng's soldiers came up behind Feng Jinglun and were about to grab Feng Jinglun. Feng Jinglun immediately shouted angrily at the soldiers:
"Get out of here! I'm a minister! How dare you say that I'm up to no good? I just established some clan laws!"
"I don't know if you are really ignorant or if you deliberately don't want to admit that the king has the power of heaven and all the people can only be controlled by the king. You haven't realized that your private clan law, or even the clan law that determines the life and death of others, is suspected of violating the monarch's constitution."
Hua Yuncheng slapped the alarm as he spoke: "Only the emperor can exercise the power of life and death, and no one else has this qualification! I am the governor, patrolling places on behalf of the emperor, and I have received the king's order. Naturally, I am qualified to speak to you." You are planning something evil! Take it down! Otherwise, you will be executed without mercy!"
"yes!"
The soldiers therefore forcibly locked up Feng Jinglun.
Feng Jinglun still stared at Hua Yuncheng.
Through Hua Yuncheng's words, he had already felt that Hua Yuncheng, a civil servant, was very different from the fellow civil servants he had contacted before becoming an official, and his ideas were very different.
During the Wanli years when he was an official, no one emphasized that the power of kings was given by heaven, nor that the power of life and death should only belong to the emperor. Much responsibility.
"Hua Yuncheng, you civil servants have changed now. You have started to become the emperor's eagle and dog spontaneously, instead of speaking up for the world! With people like you, Shilin is going to be doomed more and more!"
Feng Jinglun shouted loudly when he was dragged out of the hall.
…
"Wang Tai! Fortunately, you were my young uncle of the Ming Dynasty! It is a shame to have a domineering person like you in Shilin who regards Wang Fa Chao Gang as nothing!
If there are people like you in Shilin, the whole Shilin will be destroyed sooner or later! If we, the Han officials, really follow the teachings of the saints and still do this, then sooner or later our country will be ruined because of people like you!
Although I am only a seventh-grade county magistrate, I am also an official appointed by the emperor, and I am the only one who can represent the king's order here! What qualifications do you have to slander me and lynch me? This is tantamount to treason! "
Wuqing County.
Before Ma Shilong and his servant Jingqi entered Wuqing County according to the order.
Tao Yunzhi, the magistrate of Wuqing County who was tied to the wooden frame, was shouting loudly to the squire Wang Tai who was sitting on the chair of the imperial master below.
Wang Taize said with an indifferent expression: "The people are the most important, the king is the most important, and the country is the second most important. It's not that I want to get rid of you as an evil official, but the people want to get rid of you as an evil official. The people say that you are possessed by a demon, so I only want to get rid of you." You know how to harm the people and bully the people, making the world angry and resentful, what can I do!"
"Hmph! You're taking advantage of the people's self-respect, aren't you worried that the court will know the truth sooner or later?!"
Tao Yunzhi sneered, and then asked loudly.
Wang Taize suddenly roared: "Don't use the imperial court to scare me! I'm already over sixty years old, how can I have an unborn love! As for the disaster of the nine clans, that's it. I have been passed down alone for several generations, and now I only have one daughter. Nothing to fear!
Now, I just want to vent my anger and deal with you bastards who took away my country squire's benefits! I have endured clearing my husband's land, and I have endured it by dividing the land between tenants. But you, the magistrate of Tao County, only know that in order to complete the examination, you not only strictly enforce the new policies, but also strictly enforce the national laws, and you actually want to kill some untouchables. My son-in-law! My son-in-law is a man of merit and fame, how can he be guilty of the same crime as the common people! I can't bear this tone. I, a scholar, should be a superior person! "
As Wang Tai spoke, he gasped and said: "I really don't understand that you, Tao Yunzhi, who was also a Jinshi and a scholar, would kill his own scholars for the sake of the common people! You are breaking the rules! I I have to burn you!”
"Burn! Burn this evil official to death!"
Wang Tai excitedly put his crutch on the ground and knocked it, and then shouted an order.
Suddenly, the firewood under Tao Yunzhi began to burn.
Tao Yunzhi laughed bitterly because of this: "I never thought that I, Tao Yunzhi, would be killed at the hands of evil gentry!"
Whoosh!
Suddenly, several sharp arrows came through the air, dancing in the air like snakes, and soon they pierced the body of the Wang family slave who was lighting the firewood.
At the same time, the sound of countless horse hooves came.
Wang Tai was shocked when he saw this. He quickly looked back and saw a large number of officers and cavalry appearing, and each of them looked tall and powerful, with murderous intent.
Tao Yunzhi was frightened at first, but soon he understood and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he was saved.
Wang Taize also guessed at this time that the army must have known that he wanted to burn the county magistrate to death and rushed over in time.
However, Wang Tai was already prepared. He immediately took out a bottle of poison hidden in his sleeve.
Wang Tai was planning to commit suicide by taking poison, but as soon as the bottle reached his mouth, he stopped feeding him. He suddenly didn't want to say goodbye to this world so soon.
He found that it was still difficult to commit suicide at this time.
At this time, Ma Shilong also shot a series of arrows, hitting Wang Tai's arm on the spot.
"ah!"
Wang Tai screamed.
Then, Ma Shilong's cavalry first rescued the county magistrate Tao Yunzhi, and then began to kill the royal servants in the city wantonly.
…
"Are you so intolerant that your son-in-law has to pay for killing a commoner? Are you so disgusted that scholars and commoners are put in the same position?"
After Zhu Youxiao learned about the conversation between Wang Tai and Tao Yunzhi, he interrogated Wang Tailai, who had been escorted to his car at his request.
"The guilty officials dare not deceive Your Majesty! This is the sentiment of most of the scholar-officials. The emperor is like his father, and his kindness is like that of heaven. No scholar-officials dare to complain about how the emperor treats the scholar-officials, but they cannot be treated the same as the common people! Scholars, farmers, industry and merchants , Scholars are the most valuable! Tao Yunzhi and other scholarly scoundrels actually treat common people and scholar-bureaucrats as civilians, and they should be punished! Your Majesty should punish them even more! Otherwise, if they can make common people and scholar-officials equal today, they can make the emperor and scholar-officials equal in the future. Common people are equal!”
Wang Tai looked at Zhu Youxiao as he spoke, and then said excitedly: "Your Majesty, this is terrible! If you really want to think that they are loyal ministers in the world and trust them, then sooner or later you will disrupt the order of etiquette and human ethics! Make the people ungovernable, The country will not be safe! And your authority will not be protected either!"
