Make a plan?
Who hits us, who dares to hit us?
Yang Baiju didn't understand the situation, Wang Shun was even more confused, Feng Zheng felt uneasy, and other officials and servants looked at each other, thinking they heard wrongly.
Tang Xian looked at Gu Zhengchen. There was no emotion in those bright black eyes, which seemed to be only ruthless.
Obviously, this was the first time he took action after entering Quanzhou Fuyamen.
It has been planned for a long time and is as fast as lightning!
Facing his powerful blow, Tang Xian found that he could not resist it at all. No matter what shield he took out, he was defeated like a torrent.
No one can stop it!
Because the sword in Gu Zhengchen's hand is called imperial regulation and emperor's edict!
Use this sword to kill anyone who blocks it!
Tang Xian looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "The Lord's judgment is based on the order, and there is nothing wrong with it."
Gu Zhengchen was very satisfied with Tang Xian's statement and nodded slightly. After preparing the order, he looked at Yang Baiju, Wang Shun and others and threw out the order: "Each person has eighty sticks, let's do it."
Snap!
The order fell to the ground and turned over.
Yang Baiju trembled, looked at Gu Zhengchen in disbelief, and asked coldly: "You want to hit me?"
Gu Zhengchen stared at Yang Baiju: "Any official who does not live in an official building in a public house but lives in a public house on the street will receive an eighty stick! You are the general judge, in charge of lawsuits and prisons. Don't tell me that you don't know about this." ?”
Yang Baiju was angry and pointed at Gu Zhengchen regardless of etiquette: "Prefect Gu, you are just an outsider. If you want to beat us just because of this, we will not accept it! Besides, I am a general judge. If you want to touch me, you may need a decree." Bar!"
Gu Zhengchen sneered: "The emperor's edict and the "Da Ming Law" are the will. Are you going to resist and disobey it?"
Yang Baiju's expression changed and he shouted: "Yang is not disobeying the order, but there are too few rooms in the government office. Could it be that you let us all squeeze into a small, narrow and dark room? Have you considered it?" How do these officials and handymen feel? They are also human beings and have families! Why can't they go home to spend time with their parents, wives and children if they have to live in government offices? They are not pigs and only deserve to live in dirty and crowded places. , they are human beings!”
After hearing this, all the subordinate officials and servants were moved and looked at Gu Zhengchen with resentment in their eyes.
Gu Zhengchen did not expect that Yang Baiju would play the emotional card. He stood up and walked out from behind the desk: "So, this is the reason why you violated the imperial ban and wandered around the market? Yang Tongpan, since you are so considerate of the officials and servants, How about taking out your big mansion? I think it’s enough to house the parents, wives and children of more than half of the subordinate staff and handymen.”
"Why, you don't want to? Oh, you are just a hypocrite. If you really care about these officials and servants, you shouldn't live in a luxurious house! To say the least, I can't see you The officials and handymen mentioned were accompanying their parents, wives and children, but they saw a lot of extravagance and waste, sensuality, and indulgent enjoyment!"
"If you think you were unjustly beaten, and if someone agrees that you were unjustly beaten, no problem, I have plenty of time to spend with you. Feng Zheng and Liu Bo of the household, you have done a lot of accounting in the household. It’s perfect, almost seamless, but have you forgotten that just because the accounts are correct and the numbers are consistent, it doesn’t mean that the expenditures and savings are reasonable. Do you think that accounting is just about the numbers matching? Naive!”
"When the county government purchases horses, you remember eighty guan. I understand. But when the county government purchases a batch of charcoal, you remember sixty guan. Isn't that a bit excessive? Sixty guan is enough to buy seventeen thousand kilograms of charcoal. , but I checked the warehouse and found that the charcoal that came in and out was only four thousand kilograms. I dare to ask you two, who took the shortfall of thirteen thousand kilograms of charcoal?"
Feng Zheng and Liu Bo were horrified.
Gu Zhengchen looked at the officials Zhang Kuo, Chu Chuan and others of the ceremonial room: "The ceremonial room purchases pigs in the name of offering sacrifices. In February alone, it spent 120 guan from the treasury. Who can tell me what kind of sacrifices are being made?" Enough for you to use sixty or seventy pigs! There is also the almshouse. I have visited it. The almshouse houses 17 lonely old people. Each of them receives only six dou of food. The total payment is more than ten shi a month. , who will stand up and explain, seventeen old people can eat a hundred stones of food a month!"
"No one explained, right? I'm telling you, it's because you falsely reported the number of people! There were only seventeen people, and the number you reported was one hundred and seventy! Zhang Kuo, you don't want to talk about the extra old people, Where have they all gone?”
Gu Zhengchen stared at Yang Baiju with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice: "In the government office, whose hands are clean and whose hands are unclean? I will make it clear according to the situation! Small mistakes can be forgiven. Big mistakes, If you have meritorious service, I will forgive you at my discretion. If anyone is stubborn, resists me, and disobeys my orders, Yang Tongpan, believe it or not, there can still be a pile of scarecrows in the Fu Ya Tu Temple!"
Yang Baiju looked a little pale.
No one expected that Gu Zhengchen, who remained calm and seemingly motionless, would actually investigate many flaws in the government office!
Gu Zhengchen looked at Wu Kang who wanted to speak, and raised his brows slightly: "Why, Wu Tongzhi wants to intercede for them. Also, Wu Tongzhi stayed in the government office today and did not leave the government office to go to the east of the city. I want to be happy. Yu, I still have the heart to intercede."
Wu Kang was shocked.
East of the city!
How did Gu Zhengchen know his movements? In the past few days, he had been to the east of the city twice, and each time he stayed for only two hours!
He was being followed, but he didn't even realize it!
horrible!
How did Gu Zhengchen do all this in the government office he controlled!
Wu Kang held up his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I have nothing to say. Everything is at your disposal."
After Gu Zhengchen returned to the desk, he was shocked: "Yang Baiju, Feng Zheng, Wang Shun and other fifty-eight people, each of them will receive eighty sticks! The squad leader will lead the government servants to execute them!"
The words were spoken loudly, but no one moved.
Lin Feng, the squad leader, had a look of struggle on his face. Everyone knew that the Tongzhi and Tongjian in the government office were very powerful. He would have no worries about food and clothing if he relied on them, but he would have endless misfortune if he offended them.
Today's Quanzhou Prefecture has an iron-clad Tongzhi and Tongpan, and a flowing prefect.
Who wants to kick the iron?
Lin Feng looked at Gu Zhengchen and said helplessly: "Master Fu, my arm has been hurting recently and I can't exert any strength."
Gu Zhengchen looked deeply at Lin Feng: "Do you need me to find a doctor to take a look at it for you?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "Just rest for a few days."
Gu Zhengchen's face was expressionless: "How many days of rest can you really do? In my opinion, it's better not to be a shift leader if you have no strength. You can't even hit people, so you might as well go home and take good care of yourself. Li Zhongqiu, General of the Lifang Bring the roster, I will allow him to leave the government office immediately."
Now that the sword was unsheathed, and since he was about to offend almost the entire prefect's yamen in one fell swoop, Gu Zhengchen would not simply stop.
Those who are disobedient and disobedient should leave when they have to.
If you don't free up space, it won't be easy for you to bring in some people.
Lin Feng never expected that he would be kicked out of the government office. He looked at Gu Zhengchen and couldn't help shaking his head. He clasped his fists and said, "The common people wish the governor good health and longevity."
Gu Zhengchen didn't pay attention to such strange words and let Lin Feng leave. Then he looked at the other government officials and said, "If anyone else is sick, please come forward. I will approve them all."
Sixteen government officials, without exception, all stood up.
Gu Zhengchen was not afraid, and all of them left the government office. After closing the official list, he looked at Yang Baiju, Wang Shun and others with stern expressions, and sighed helplessly: "The government officials are all gone. It seems that this board ——”
Yang Baiju looked at Gu Zhengchen coldly.
A foreign official who didn't know all the doors of the government office dared to directly offend everyone?
Want to hit someone.
You don't even have anyone who can control you now, so you can do it!
Do you know that Zhang Hao, the former magistrate, was always here as his grandson? Why? Because without everyone’s cooperation and our nods, no one would pay attention to him even if he shouted until his throat broke!
You haven't even grown any hair yet, yet you dare to attack us?
Wu Kang glanced at Tang Xian and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Gu Zhengchen, Gu Zhengchen, you are still too domineering and tough, and you don't know how to be an official.
You alone cannot have the final say in the government office. You don't know how to unite everyone and don't let us discuss it. You want to bypass everyone and directly manage the place. Ha, how naive!
Didn’t the intelligence say that this person was scary?
Now it seems that there is either lies in the information, or this person is arrogant and has lost his former composure!
You can make trouble, so that you can command a few people.
From now on, it will be difficult for you to move forward in Quanzhou Prefecture, and it will be even more difficult to govern the place!
Gu Zhengchen moved his wrist and said in a deep voice: "Since there are no more government officials, I can only give an order - Xiao Cheng, Zhang Pei, from today on, you two will temporarily serve as government officials and carry out the execution."
"ah?"
Yang Baiju, Wang Shun and others trembled.
Zhang Pei sympathized with these people.
Xiao Cheng smiled evilly, grabbed the water and fire stick and slammed it on the ground.
These grandsons dare to go against Gu Zhengchen. Do you think it is a good thing that all the government officials are gone?
Big mistake!
The government officials are still here, and they know the severity of their attacks, so they can give you some face so that you can suffer less.
But now that the other government officials have left, let's fill the gap.
Xiao Cheng spit into the palm of his hand, rubbed the water and fire stick, and said to Gu Zhengchen: "Master, I saw a lot of stick punishments when I was in Jinling. Eighty sticks can kill people. If you kill someone, But don’t punish servants like us.”
Gu Zhengchen looked at the pale Yang Baiju and others: "The court regulations are eighty sticks. Even if you are beaten to death, you must get eighty sticks. Let's do it."
Zhang Pei couldn't help but untie Yang Baiju's belt and kicked him to the ground, exposing his white buttocks. Xiao Cheng fell down with a stick!
Snapped!
A loud sound came out, followed by a scream like a slaughtered pig!
Yang Baiju had never experienced such pain before. After only three sticks, he already had a lot of runny nose and tears.
Every time the dull sound of a stick hits, the hearts of those present will tremble!
What a fight!
Show no mercy and hit hard!
Gu Zhengchen looked at this scene coldly, picked up the tea bowl and took a refreshing sip.
Coming to Quanzhou Prefecture is like stepping into the arena.
Swordsmen joust.
The first move he made was bloody, but it also exposed flaws and left hidden dangers. Now, it depends on how the other party uses his move.
