When Huang Qiong said these words, although it was not ordinary, the murderous intent in his tone was clearly revealed. This murderous aura made Su Jin and Jian Yong both tremble and feel relieved at the same time. They were all afraid that Huang Qiong would be too angry and kill the magistrate who was so audacious and dared to use his tiger skin as a banner to do evil.
The man in front of me dared to drag his direct cousin, an imperial earl, into the street and stab him directly. Not only did it shock the world, the government and the public were talking about it, and memorials attacking him were piled up in the Wende Hall. It even made Princess Xincai go to the palace almost three times a day to cry. Both of them were worried about killing a count, let alone a nephew of the concubine.
But although this guy doesn't have a title, his official position is only that of a fifth-rank magistrate, which is far different from that earl in rank. But compared to the eldest princess who has no real power and only has an empty position. The background of this Zhizhou, whose family disciples and former officials are all over the world, is actually much deeper.
The answer given by Huang Qiong was not too reassuring in the eyes of the two of them. But the two of them also knew that this was the biggest concession that the British king in front of them could make. As long as we don't kill the Zhizhou, the rest of the things will be much easier to handle. As for Concubine De's distant nephew, neither of them paid much attention to it.
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Huang Qiong just smiled lightly. He picked up the tea bowl in his hand and took a sip. After seeing the Biluochun tea in the bowl, he said: "How did Mr. Chen behave in your prison in Zhengzhou Mansion? Did he say anything about the things I want to know? Don't tell me, you guys We still haven’t gotten a confession.”
Hearing the dissatisfaction in Huang Qiong's tone, Jian Yong, who was still serving as the general judge of Zhengzhou Mansion for the time being, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, that Master Chen had an arrogant attitude after entering the prison of Zhengzhou Mansion. Not only did he not tell the truth about the secret, Regarding the state affairs, I repeatedly threatened the subordinate officials and the government officials who were doing the work. In the end, I had no choice but to impose punishment."
"Without a few whips, he defeated them all. This person is indeed the distant cousin of Concubine De. He was originally from Concubine De's father's family and stayed in Zhengzhou to guard the homestead. This time, after the governor of Mizhou took office, , so they took him from Zhengzhou Mansion to Mizhou to make things easier. The Lord Zhizhou is still very cunning, and he never trusts the people left behind by the Mizhou Yamen."
"Not only did he trust the people he transferred from his hometown, but also the people he brought from the capital. He also trusted the officials in Mizhou, except for Capt. Whether they belong to Tongzhi or Tongshang, they are all replaced by people he brought from the capital or from his old home."
"Less than half a month after this person came to Mizhou and took office, he lived together with a romantic man who ran to Mizhou from nowhere and had a child with him. The person who returned it to its original owner was responsible for it by Prince Jing's Mansion A steward who was in charge of Michigan affairs occupied the house and turned it into his own outhouse, specially used to house the mother and son."
"Since then, he has been hanging out with that woman all day long. He doesn't go to the Yamen to work at all every day. All official matters are sent to other houses by his confidants. He obeys that woman's words and does everything in his name. Your banner collected the money and food arrears owed in the past few years, and the way to make a lot of money was that woman who gave him."
"Under the instigation of that woman, the money and food collected was divided into 28 accounts, 20% belonged to them as managers, and the rest was put into his own pocket by Zhizhou. The money collected went directly into that It’s a foreign residence. I haven’t paid a penny or a dou of rice to the Mizhou state treasury at all.”
"As for how much food each family should pay, they have never calculated it. It all depends on what they say. Even those in charge, in order to put more money into their own pockets, still increase the original amount. Several times. The common people couldn't afford to pay, and the fields that had just been returned were taken back and became the private property of the magistrate."
"If the people are unwilling to pay, they simply rob them. From the land, cattle, sheep, and livestock at the beginning, to now they rob women. Those women who were robbed by them to pay off debts because they could not pay the money and grain they said they owed. , the magistrate first spoiled them, then rewarded them for three days and then sold them."
"Some women were just rescued and returned to their original husbands. Not even a few days after their birthday, they snatched them away again. My lord, looking at what the governor of Mizhou did, it can be said that he almost copied what he had done in Prince Jing's Mansion in the past. Those who are in charge of things. It’s just that his lackeys don’t know where the people’s fat and people’s anointing that the governor of Mizhou has almost taken by force has been done to him.”
"What he only knows is that during these days, one cart of money or more than a dozen carts of property were shipped out of Mizhou City every half month and their destination was unknown. As for the collected grain, it also did not stay in Mizhou. They also transport it out every half a month. As for where the food is transported, they don’t even know.”
"These things were all done by people from the capital, and they were not even allowed to ask. Those of them who were transferred from Zhengzhou to Mizhou were only responsible for collecting collections. But as far as he knew, the magistrate had no regard for him Xin Na's outsider is not an ordinary trustworthy person, many of the ideas come from this woman."
"Originally, the magistrate of the state did not intend to embarrass Sima Hong because he was an official in the same court as Sima Hong. However, this woman repeatedly persuaded him to kill him as a warning to others and find someone who dared to come forward to punish him severely. Only then could this secret man be punished. The people of the state gave up the idea of resisting the tax and paid the money and grain. Moreover, the woman told them in private that she must punish the Sima Hong family. "
"Especially Sima Hong's little daughter-in-law, even if Sima Hong paid the money and food, she would never let him go. Later, the woman accidentally let it slip, and they found out why this woman clung to Sima Hong's family. Sima Hong Hong's youngest daughter-in-law went to Mizhou City to get medicine last month, and when she was accidentally seen by the Lord Zhizhou, she was so shocked that heaven and earth have never forgotten her."
"Even the interest in the bed has dropped by three points, which makes this woman very jealous. However, this woman also knows her identity, so in order to maintain her favor, she sent Sima Hong's daughter-in-law to the Zhizhou's bed . Anyway, if it falls into their hands, there are plenty of ways to deal with it in the future. It won’t be long before other women can be proud of it."
"According to those scoundrels, this woman is very insidious. Their fear of this woman is even greater than that of the Zhizhou. In addition to the Lord Zhizhou obeying this woman's words, there is another crucial point, that is, this woman He has a lot of tricks. He looks harmless to humans and animals, but in fact, he often comes up with ideas that make people want to die."
Even though he was mentally prepared, he listened to Jian Yong's statement. Huang Qiong, who really couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, threw the Jun porcelain tea bowl in his hand to the ground: "Shameless and ridiculous. As a son of an official and a relative of the emperor, he actually did such a thing. I don’t even know the reason why the government forces the people to rebel.”
"If he is allowed to continue to be the governor of the state, the overall situation that I have worked so hard to stabilize will be destroyed by him as the governor of the fifth grade. There is still a hint of a court official in this person, so he should be His appearance and demeanor? He is manipulated by a woman, and his family regards the court, the king, and the officials of the Zhengzhou Prefecture as if they are nothing. He is ruling the people with such a piece of meat. "
"Su Jin and Jian Yong, under your rule, there was such a disobedient person, and it lasted for two months. You didn't know anything about it. You said it yourself, this prefect and his fellow magistrates are doing this Are you qualified? I really don’t know why I fell in love with you two in the first place. You are simply stupid and incompetent."
Huang Qiong was so angry that he even cursed with words such as stupid and incompetent. Huang Qiong had never said such harsh words to the two of them before, and this was the first time he made this comment. Faced with Huang Qiong's anger, not to mention Su Jin, even Jian Yong, who always considered himself to be relatively tactful, was a little at a loss.
He also knew that it was indeed his fault on Su Jin and Jian Yong that brought this matter to this point. I can only kneel on the ground and listen to the instructions honestly, not daring to have any dissatisfaction. They all know how much effort and price the British king in front of him spent in order to stabilize the situation in Zhengzhou as soon as possible, complete the aftermath as soon as possible, and give the people something to rely on, under the overt and covert attacks from all sides.
I also know that this British king has been appointed as the envoy to Zhengzhou. How many people in the palace and court are waiting to laugh and cause trouble. Behind the two of them, how much the King of England has borne for them. At present, it has finally stabilized initially, but what the Mizhou magistrate did almost ruined the whole situation.
Where is Mizhou? It is Bianzhou Prefecture where the Henan Road Administration Office is located. The Zhengzhou Prefecture where I am now is the choke point leading to Jingzhao. It's not far from Zhengzhou, but not far from Jingzhao. Mizhou is under the jurisdiction of Zhengzhou Prefecture, but geographically it can also be regarded as the emperor's feet. Once changes occur in Mizhou, it will not only shock Zhengzhou, but the entire Gyeongsang Province.
According to what the governor did, it would only take a short time to cause civil unrest. If there is chaos in Mizhou, will there be stability in Jingzhao? What's more, Zhengzhou's people's sentiments are initially set. Once civil unrest occurs in a certain state or county under the rule, and coupled with the instigation of those with ulterior motives behind it, no one knows whether it will trigger reactions in other states and counties?
By then, all the hard work the King of England has put in during this period will be in vain. Those dormant people and hidden arrows in the palace and court will jump out within the first time. As for the two of them, as the magistrate and co-prefect of Zhengzhou, they actually knew nothing about what the magistrate was doing in Mizhou. Looking at the somewhat gloomy King of England in front of them, the two of them couldn't help but feel extremely ashamed.
Huang Qiong felt better after venting the anger in her heart. He raised his hand and signaled the two people kneeling in front of him to stand up, and then calmed down and said, "Okay, now is not the time to hold people accountable. The next thing you have to do is to cooperate with me to take down This person."
"After this matter is dealt with, whoever is responsible will be responsible. You go back first and think about how to wipe that guy's ass next. That bastard has been doing this for three months in Michigan and has brought so much to the people. The damage will be difficult to eliminate even in three years. Next, you should carefully consider how to make amends to the people of Mizhou."
"Mizhou Zhizhou, if you have a candidate you think is suitable, you can put it forward now, and I will go to the Ministry of Personnel to talk to you. I will return to the capital soon, and I am afraid this will be the last time I can help you. But you should take good care of this candidate. Let’s weigh it carefully. If there is another official like this in Mizhou, I’m afraid the government will force the people to rebel.”
At this point, Huang Qiong looked at the two of them with a bit of hatred and said: "You are the parent officials of all the prefectures and counties in Zhengzhou Prefecture, not the parent officials of one county in the city. Listen more and act more in everything. Don't always shut yourself down. In this Zhengzhou city, you will not go out. If something like this happens again, I will really weigh whether you two are competent or not."
