"Greetings, Lord Qingfeng~!"
A group of royal guards knelt on one knee.
Qingfeng stood in the lobby of the Jinyiwei Qianhu Office in Jingzhou City and glanced around at the Jinyiwei Qianhu, Baihu, Zongqi and other officials who were kneeling on the ground but did not let them get up.
Cleared his throat: "Some of you have disappointed His Majesty."
After hearing Qingfeng's words, some people's bodies began to tremble.
"His Majesty has always had high expectations for Jin Yiwei."
"His Majesty has given you identity, rights, and status, and asked you to protect the people and hold up a blue sky for the people. However, you people don't know what to do. Some of you dare to seize the property that His Majesty has personally handled."
"I don't know whether to live or die, do you think these things will just go away after all the involvement?"
"Pig brain~! You don't know His Majesty's evil-hating character. Have you forgotten the regretful looks in the eyes of those colleagues who have been executed over the years~!"
In Qingfeng's words, some of the people in the group looked confused, some were stunned, some lowered their heads even further, and some were trembling and already paralyzed on the ground.
Qingfeng took out a scroll from his pocket: "Those who read their names should go to the courtyard by themselves."
"Jingzhou City Jinyi Guards Thousands of Households Wu Danian"
"Jingzhou City Jinyiwei Deputy Qianhu Wuchen"
"Jingzhou City Jinyiwei Hundreds of Su Fei"
"Jingzhou City Jinyiwei Hundreds of Households Yangshen"
"..."
As the lives were read out one by one, some people got up and left obediently, and some timid ones were dragged away limply on the ground. The number of kneeling people in the entire lobby became sparse.
After counting the heads, the entire Jingzhou City Jinyi Guards were halfway out.
After Qingfeng finished reading, he looked at the retention personnel who knelt on the ground: "The absence of your names does not mean that there is no matter about you. As a Jin Yiwei, I know that my colleagues did such things but did not know to report them. Some people's motives for being greedy are different from others. , I don’t need your heads anymore, just keep them for downgrading.”
"If you break the law again next time, the crime will be increased by one level. You have all violated the law. You know how to deal with this crime by adding one level."
A group of people said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty"
Qingfeng: "In view of the current shortage of personnel, the personnel I have brought here will make up for it, and those who have performed well but did not participate will be promoted."
Qingfeng took out the scroll from his pocket again: "Wu Meng, one of the 100 Jinyiwei households in Jingzhou City, performed well and was promoted to deputy 1,000 households."
"The academic name of Jinyiwei Baihu Village in Jingzhou City was upgraded to Deputy Qianhu"
"Guo Ziqiang, the general banner of Jinyiwei in Jingzhou City, was promoted to 100 households"
"..."
"If you don't read the name, the deputy 100 households will be demoted to 100 households, the 100 households will be demoted to deputy 100 households, the deputy 100 households will be demoted to the general banner, and so on."
Wu Meng, Zhuang Xueming, Guo Ziqiang and other 13 people knelt down and thanked them profusely. They were demoted and promoted. This was so comfortable. In fact, they also felt envious of the sudden wealth of their colleagues who had been greedy some time ago. .
But now, it's their turn to have fun~!
O(∩_∩)O~~ah
\(≧▽≦)/
Naturally, there are also those who are dejected. This kind of scene is so uncomfortable. I finally got through it, but in the end, I fell into trouble. The hierarchy system of Jinyiwei is extremely strict. It is not that easy to advance to one and a half levels. Moreover, it is already hanging up. Jin Yiwei has been blacklisted internally, and it is difficult to be promoted again.
"Okay, I will personally control the Jinyiwei in Jingzhou City for the time being. Now" Qingfeng gestured to the Jinyiwei deputy beside him to take out a few files: "You will lead people in batches and arrest the people on the list. The quantity and type of property need to be checked. It's all written on it. If anyone resists and is crippled and brought back, the stubborn ones will be killed on the spot without mercy. As for you who have been demoted, if you dare to secretly commit evil, you will be executed directly, do you know?"
Facing Qingfeng's sharp eyes with murderous intent, several people lowered their heads and whispered: "No"
Qingfeng waved his hand: "Go ahead and bring back the people and finances on the list before sunset today."
"promise"
This group of people filed out. When they entered the courtyard beyond the lobby, they found that several colleagues on the ground of the courtyard had been shot by random arrows, some were beheaded, and some of the remaining people had stripped off their official uniforms and bound their heads. Kneel there, waiting for punishment.
A moment of greed, two lines of tears from loved ones
A group of survivors walked out of the gate and instantly felt like they were alive. The air outside was so free, but it was so depressing inside.
"Brothers, thank you for not following me~!"
"Huh, I'm not as good as you. Fortunately, I'm not greedy for too much."
"Hey, I did it because my father was seriously ill and I didn't have enough money..."
"Everyone, don't say that it's good if you can survive. Hurry up and finish the work at hand and make up for your mistakes."
"Yes, yes, hurry up and do it"
"You must do it well~!"
A group of people grabbed the assigned arrest files and began to scatter.
Jin Yiwei made such a big move, the spies stationed by officials from the famous families at the door hurriedly ran back to report, but their legs and feet were not as fast as Jin Yiwei's horse.
A large group of people came to the door with a list of names. Those who knew that they were wrong and felt repentant saw the Jin Yiwei coming to the door, confessed their sins, appeased their families, and went back to accept the punishment.
The smarter ones would take the opportunity to do something about it, but this Jinyiwei official had just walked out of the pile of corpses of his colleagues. They didn't dare to accept anything at this time, and they were extremely strict in doing things.
There are also some who think they are hiding well and stubbornly hope to get away with it. They say who is my father, who is my uncle, who is my father-in-law, and you dare to try to catch me.
Jinyiwei is the guardian of the peaceful world of the Tang Dynasty. If you don't accept or cooperate, he will naturally tell you what it means to be well-behaved.
If you are still stubborn, according to Li Mingda: The sharp horizontal knife will make you, the corrupt officials, profiteers and bullies, know what it means to regret coming into this world.
After the Jin Yiwei got rid of those moths, there was no internal resistance and they started their own efficient arresting work. A large number of profiteers from official families on the list were arrested one after another.
Naturally, such a large-scale arrest cannot be concealed. Some of them also hope that the senior leaders in their groups can help them, but they do not know that the fate of their senior leaders is not much better than theirs.
Pang Tong directly led his troops into the palace of the Grand Governor of Jingzhou, captured all the officials on the scene, and then issued an order to seal the city gates and only allow entry and no exit.
Some key criminals who commanded the army were also blocked at the entrance of their residences or military camps. Gan Ning, who had been recruited by imperial decree, led his troops to break in and arrest the people. If they were disobedient and wanted to resist, Gan Ning, the commander of the navy, let them go. They tasted what it means to crush with force, and what it means to be sharp with his Jinling Water-Breaking Knife.
As the warships traveled back and forth along the Yangtze River several times, tens of thousands of naval troops arrived in Jingzhou City one after another. Following the order, they began to blockade and search the entire city to capture those who escaped or slipped through the net.
Qingfeng and Pang Tong handled the case quickly and effectively. Individual fugitives distributed wanted orders to Jinyi Guards and government offices across the country for arrest.
a month later
On the Qinhuai River in Yangzhou, on a moonless day, two small boats met in the center of the lake.
