"Someone is coming..."
The soldiers who had been guarding both sides of the yamen door heard Li Bing's voice and hurriedly surrounded him.
"Sir Governor, you can't be deceived. I still have unsolved cases of unruly people. If I am falsely accused and imprisoned, who will do it? It doesn't matter if I am slightly wronged, but If it affects the big plan, then everything will be over..." Geng Bingzhong said quickly.
Li Bing hesitated slightly when he heard Geng Pingzhong's words.
Zhao Yingming, who was standing aside, also hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "That's right, the governor, for just one word, he got the criminal title of a province and a third-grade official. This is too unbelievable."
Geng Bingzhong panicked, and so did Zhao Yingming.
Pull out the carrot and bring out the mud. If Geng Bingzhong falls down, he will be guilty of neglecting government affairs and derelict in his duties, and the crime of cover-up will be established.
Even if Li Bing tried his best to protect himself for the new tax system in a short period of time, the new tax system will eventually come to an end. When the situation calms down, one can imagine his fate.
The chief envoy's words attracted Liu Qingzong's attention.
"What are you afraid of, the Chief Envoy?" Liu Qingzong looked at Zhao Yingming and said slowly.
Zhao Yingming said coldly: "The new tax system is a major national policy and affects the well-being of 1.2 million people in Xi'an Prefecture. Shouldn't I be afraid?"
"Liu Yushi is right. I am indeed afraid, but what I am afraid of is the impact on the implementation of the country's major policies. I am afraid that all the things I have done before will be in vain. You officials can do anything. If you don’t succeed, you only know how to talk. Don’t you know that empty talk will harm the country and the people?”
Zhao Yingming changed the topic as soon as he came up and directly opposed his position.
Although soldiers surrounded him, Li Bing did not issue the final order.
He just wanted to see if this sixth-grade censor could withstand the pressure, and he also wanted to see if he could withstand the pressure.
"I am on patrol in Shaanxi. In the early years, I heard that the Chief Envoy of Shaanxi was very eloquent. Today I met the Chief Envoy, and he is worthy of his name. However, Chief Envoy, you have to think clearly. "
"Before Xianguan left the capital, he was summoned by His Majesty. Before departure, he met Mr. Li Ge again. He said to Xianguan: Now that the new tax system is in the northwest and even at a critical period, Xianguan must take into account the overall situation and move the capital but not the local areas. , the old things of the past, only the first culprit will be punished, no others will be implicated, and we will never settle the matter afterwards. These are the exact words of Mr. Li Ge."
"But if you don't cooperate, Mr. Li Ge won't be able to protect you. Now that the governor has been affected, all the things you have done over the years will really be in vain."
Liu Qingzong's words touched Zhao Yingming's heart, and he was afraid of liquidation.
In fact, Zhao Yingming was very smart, but at this time, in the anxious state of wanting to protect himself, he lost his judgment and believed Liu Qingzong's words.
But this kind of verbal commitment means nothing.
Liu Qingzong's words made Zhao Yingming choose to shut up.
It also made Geng Bingzhong furious to the extreme.
"What charges did you use to ask the governor to take me down?"
But Liu Qingzong still pretended that he couldn't hear Geng Pingzhong's words. He looked at Li Bing and said, "Mr. Governor, make a decision."
Li Bing thought about it, and then said: "Take down the inspector and put him in the governor's Yamen..."
After hearing Li Bing's words, several soldiers went directly to arrest Geng Bingzhong.
And Geng Bingzhong was escorted into the governor's Yamen like this. When he entered, he kept cursing Liu Qingzong.
"Liu Yushi, I obeyed His Majesty's will and assisted you in handling the case, but you can't handle the case like this. I don't have the power to directly let the inspector be imprisoned in prison. I can only be detained in the governor's office. Are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied, of course satisfied..."
"My Lord Governor, I need to trouble you with one more thing."
"What's the matter?"
"I would like to borrow two hundred soldiers from the governor's Yamen."
"do what?"
"Surround the Inspector's residence, looking for someone..."
After hearing this, Li Bing was at a loss...
"Liu Yushi, are you kidding me? It's already unjustifiable for me to detain a province's criminal charges at the governor's office without any evidence. You still have to lead people to search the governor's residence. This is not how the case is handled. You Do you understand the Ming Law?"
"My official is familiar with thirty volumes of Ming Dynasty laws. If the governor wants to hear about it, you can ask him at will." Liu Qingzong looked at the already angry Li Bing and did not back down at all.
To arrest Geng Bingzhong, we need to convict him. If we have witnesses, we also need physical evidence. What's more, there are also officials in the capital involved. If Geng Bingzhong is not convinced, he will not give a clear explanation.
Geng Pingzhong's son Geng Huai is also a physical evidence for Liu Qingzong.
"No matter what, I can't lend this soldier to you." Li Bing said coldly.
But Guo Chong, who had been standing aside and had never spoken before, said at this moment: "Liu Yushi, the governor will not lend it to me, but I will lend it to you. Two hundred is too little. One thousand is good..." "
"The more, the merrier... Many thanks, Commander-in-Chief."
"Nonsense, what right do you have to mobilize troops for him?" Li Bing said angrily.
"My Lord Governor, do you really think that you are the only one who has received His Majesty's decree?"
"What do you mean?"
"I also have a decree. Your Majesty also asked me to assist Liu Yushi. He wants to mobilize troops. If you don't help, I can't just sit back and ignore it." Guo Chong said with a normal expression.
Things have come to this point.
Li Bing didn't even know what Geng Pingzhong had committed. He glanced at Liu Qingzong and invited him into the house without any thought.
Li Bing turned around and walked towards the governor's Yamen.
And Zhao Yingming hurriedly followed.
Liu Qingzong looked at the backs of Li Bing and Zhao Yingming, and shouted: "My lord governor, take advantage of this time to get to know each other better. Don't wait until His Majesty asks. If you don't know anything about it, it will affect your career." .”
Li Bing walked into the governor's office angrily. When he heard Liu Qingzong's words, he paused for a moment.
When Li Bing returned to the lobby, his anger had not subsided.
He sat down and looked at Zhao Yingming who was standing.
"What exactly did Geng Bingzhong commit?"
Zhao Yingming hurriedly shook his head: "Sir Governor, I really don't know what he has committed."
"Ask me one last time, what exactly did Geng Bingzhong commit? Stop pretending to be confused. Stop pretending to be confused." Li Bing's voice suddenly became louder, making Zhao Yingming startled.
This is the first time Li Bing has lost his composure.
Zhao Yingming sighed: "It seems that it was because their eldest son bullied men and women when he was young and died, and was later sentenced to death. However, he lost his relationship as the head of the Criminal Department and sent his son to He was brought out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and now his son has been found and the previous victim has sued him."
"Sir Governor, this was originally a trivial matter, but it's all Liu Qingzong's fault for making this incident so big. Geng Pingzhong must have accepted his fate by now."
After listening to Zhao Yingming's words.
Li Bing took a long breath.
"No wonder Liu Qingzong is so confident. It turns out that Geng Pingzhong is really bold."
At this time, Li Bing didn't have any fluctuations in his heart. After he finished speaking, he kept thinking about how to minimize the impact of this matter...
After a moment of pause, Li Bing looked at Zhao Yingming.
"You also go and help Liu Qingzong. You can do whatever he asks. However, as long as you are in front of others, you must stay by his side at all times to avoid being seen by those squires. This will add more money to our autumn harvest plan. misfortune…"
"Yes, Lord Governor, I will take care of it now."
"Didn't he want two hundred people? Give him..."
"Yes, Lord Governor..."
After Zhao Yingming finished speaking, he hurriedly ran out, fearing that he would not be able to catch up with Liu Qingzong and Guo Chong...
