Chapter 544 Significant cases
Zhu Di accounted down, Zhang Anshi and Hu Guang since the mouth to comply with the order.
And then, the two of them excused themselves and left.
Out of the line in, Zhang Anshi hesitated, or could not help but look at Hu Guang, relieved: “Hu Gong, I am sorry for your …… loss.”
Hu Guang, however, only lightly glanced at Zhang Anshi and lightly said, “The old man is tired, there is really no talk today, Your Highness, goodbye.”
At that moment, Hu Guang went back to rest since.
It was Zhang Anshi who could not help but be embarrassed by it, fortunately there were only the two of them here, but he did understand Hu Guang’s mood at this time, and smiled helplessly, so he also returned to his own residence.
In Zhang Anshi’s residence, the desk that Zhang Anshi had dedicated to his use had long been stacked with the many dispatches sent from the Raozhou station.
One of the most exhaustive is the situation of the injured clerks in this case.
Zhang Anshi was extremely interested in Hu Mu.
Because the Raozhou station for Hu Mu’s evaluation is very high, most of them are meticulous work and so on, both in the boss and colleagues, are considered to have a reputation.
Zhang Anshi can not help but be a little puzzled, this Hu Mu, as a matter of fact, should be a son, even if it is not a son, at least such a family of origin, it should be quite resistant to clerical officials.
To be able to do something with peace of mind is already rare, and to be able to do it well is even more mind-boggling.
On the contrary, he has a brother who is quite idle and only hangs out in the marketplace all day long, and his reputation is not very good.
Zhang Anshi carefully searched these useful information, prepared for tomorrow, thought about it, and instructed people to say, “Tomorrow …… think of a way to send these people to His Majesty s face. This person has been seriously injured, in other people’s mouths to say, is nothing, only let His Majesty see with his own eyes how heavy the injury is, only important. Let the doctors think of a way.”
By the next morning, the rising sun was squarely in the air.
Zhang Anshi got up early this morning, slightly used the tea, and then went to the line in.
And at this time, also lost ha long conveyed his majesty’s will, order raozhou station as well as raozhou government officials and others in the line in the outside of the Hou see.
Zhang Anshi only indifferently scanned these people and ignored them, directly entering the line in with a Xu step.
When he waited until Zhu Di’s heel, he saw that Zhu Di was sitting with a heavy brow and a few cold colors on his face, and only said towards Zhang Anshi: “Call all the people in.”
Zhang Anshi complied with the order and then ordered someone to go and shout for someone.
After a while, the hall at this line was already overcrowded.
Chen Jia, governor of Raozhou Prefecture, and Wang Yanren, co-counselor, etc.
In addition to this, there are also the stationmaster, station chancellor, and chief bookkeeper of Raozhou Station, who have all arrived.
The crowd bowed down and mouthed Hail.
After all, these people were all lower-level officials who hardly had the opportunity to see the face of the Holy Spirit.
Even the governor, Chen Jia, had only ever seen one side from afar when he was in the capital.
As a result, the people were all trembling with fear and trepidation.
Zhu Di, however, only smiled, and actually did not order them to get up.
Zhu Di did not say flat, this crowd will have to continue to kneel, the heart more anxious, some people can not help but shiver.
After a while, Zhu Di only stood up, suddenly sighed and said, “Over the years, the world has happened a lot of things, but finally …… this world in my hands, barely still be considered stable, this people, but also barely be able to live in peace and work in contentment! I can’t be greedy for heaven’s achievements, thus, in the final analysis, this is the result of the subjects and people’s dedication together, which makes me able to get a reputation as a peaceful son of heaven.”
Zhu Di paused, then said: “Eat the king’s salary, loyal to the king’s thing, finally …… most people can still do. Can not help but have some small people, conceited mountain high emperor far away, completely disregard the king’s law, depending on my Ming’s law as a child’s play, and even encourage the lower head of the officials as well as the military and civilian beatings, alarming not to say, but also to teach the world to laugh. You ah …… really face all do not want ……”
Zhu Di said here, the sudden tiger eyes violently a, revealed a stern color, shouted: “But you do not want face, I also want face, you can be shameless, I also know shame!”
This sudden big drink, teach people to split the liver and gall bladder, Chen Jia, as well as Raozhou station stationmasters, etc., busy kowtow, kowtow like garlic, mouth called ten thousand deaths.
Zhu Di laughed coldly, “How ridiculous, now you even know that you are afraid? I thought that you are all the Zhao Zilong of this dynasty, full of guts.”
“……”
Zhu Di continued to coldly said: “happened such a thing, I naturally who also do not condone, today regardless of out of a right and wrong, is not. The cause and effect of this matter, in today’s water fall out of it, today I want to drop who’s head, also need to have a cause and effect in today, you who say?”
There was an indescribable silence in the hall.
After a long time, suddenly Raozhou station station minister said: “Your Majesty, the reason for the matter is very clear, because the people scramble to settle in Raozhou station’s sake, led to the Raozhou government some people block, therefore, Raozhou government will propose the station this side to go to discuss a two-way solution, the station will be ordered by the official, the rate of a group of clerical officials to go to the capital city to discuss, just who did not expect … … …”
Zhu Di narrowed his eyes, he didn’t utter a word at this time, pursed his lips tightly and listened intently.
“Who would have thought that they then launched an attack, seven or eight officials of the Department of Railroads, were beaten by them, killed and seriously injured ……”
Zhu only narrowed his eyes and remained silent.
This station prime minister said, apprehensive in his heart, and cautiously looked up at Zhu Di.
Zhu only said, “Just so?”
“That’s it.” The station prime minister said, “The cause and result of the matter are very simple ……鑷�……鏂笉鏁㈡鍚涚綌涓�.”
When Zhu Di heard this, he smiled coldly and turned his gaze to that Raozhou Prefect Chen Jia.
Chen Jia was not too slow.
He first glanced at Hu Guang at this time, and saw that Hu Guang was silently standing aside, as if expecting that at this time, Hu Guang would say something.
But Hu Guang did not say, but Chen Jia still has his own belly and preplanning, at this time, said, “Your Majesty, since this person said …… that he does not dare to deceive the king, then I dare to ask Your Majesty, if it is deceiving the king, what should be the crime?”
Zhu Di immediately said without question, “Execute the three clans.”
The station minister couldn’t help but shiver, it was one thing to be clear in his heart, but now that His Majesty had said it himself, it was another matter.
Chen Jia then said, “Your Majesty, they claimed that it was this side of the Prefecture, inviting them to send officials to the Prefecture to negotiate. But I dare to ask, since it is an invitation from the Prefecture, is there an official document?”
Chen Jia looked toward the standing prime minister.
The station prime minister’s face was slightly unnatural, and he only said, “It’s a message brought by the head of the capital of your house.”
Chen Jia smiled and said: “The government acts, everything is left with a note, in order to prevent mistakes. But now the railroad division side, there is no evidence, but mouth, said that the government office invited them to go, this …… in the sense of reason, do not make sense right. Now there is no real evidence, there has not been black and white, mouth said no evidence, is not it can be allowed by the railroad division to reverse right and wrong black and white?”
Zhu Di coldly looked at Chen Jia and said, “Then …… how is the truth?”
Chen Jia said, “Your Majesty, my side …… was actually …… not at the scene at that time, and thus …… only heard it from others. ”
Chen Jia’s sentence really hit the seven inches.
If Chen Jia said he was at the scene, this really can not be said, because since the railroad division of the people are not they invited, Chen Jia, the governor, this is simply do not know about it, naturally, it is not possible to be the first time at the scene.
As a result, this Chen Jia’s words could be described as airtight, and it was almost impossible to find any cracks.
Only to see Chen Jia then said, “However, I in the aftermath, did find someone to ask about the causes and consequences of this matter, I can not answer, so …… then led some of the people who were present at the time to …… plead with Your Majesty …… be able to summon.”
Hearing this, Zhu only pursed his lips and nodded.
Within a short time, there was an old man, limping slowly in with a cane.
This old man’s beard and hair are white, wearing, but also just a clean, but not expensive long shirt. Seeing this old man’s age, anyone who saw him could not help but show respect.
In ancient times, people for the elderly, is extremely respectful, especially this old man, at least seventy or eighty years of life, would have been rare, such a person, even Zhu Di, can not help but to be pleasant.
“Heretic Zhu Jianfang, meet Your Majesty.”
After saying that, this old man was slightly trembling and wanted to bow down and perform a great salute.
Zhu Di then said, “There is no need to be polite, come on, give a seat.”
Such old man, almost one foot has stepped into the coffin, in the local, is honored as a senior, even if Zhu Di, but also to treat them separately.
This old man then panted and sat down on the brocade pier.
Zhu Di then said seriously, “Zhu Jianfang? I’ve come to ask you, what was the situation?”
Zhu Jianfang said: “At that time the neighborhood, suddenly noisy, small old man, this is in the courtyard of the home to sit idle, a moment to hear the sound of people, so they also went out of the courtyard to see, which saw seven or eight people, surrounded by people, as if it was a dispute with someone.”
Zhu Di asked, “Dispute? What dispute?”
“It seems that these seven or eight people …… have molested a good woman, therefore, the woman’s father and brother saw, they refused to comply, the other neighborhoods, since the ensuing anger, they will be surrounded by people.”
When Zhu Di heard this, his face remained unperturbed even though it seemed to be as calm as stopping water.
Zhang Anshi could not see any joy or anger on his face at this time, but only a cold smile hooked up on his lips.
On the contrary, it is that Hu Guang, standing quietly, a mute look, face ancient well.
Zhu Di said, “Really, this matter …… can be serious?”
Zhu Jianfang coughed a few times, before not in a hurry, not slow, said: “Indeed, the situation of the woman’s home, the little old man also know a little, after all, is the township folks, this woman is widowed at home, but is extremely chaste, never overstep the half a point. Your Majesty, this chaste woman, if not by people anxious, and how will give up their own honor not, planted others?”
This rhetorical question, on the contrary, left Zhu Di speechless as well.
Zhu had to say, “And after that?”
“Since then there was a quarrel, because the woman’s honor was at stake, the woman’s father and brother, since they refused to let them go. But these people, but the mouth is very big, high and mighty, one of them even said, you these unruly people, know who we are? Also said …… also said they are the people of the Division of Railroads ……”
Zhu Jianfang continued to cough, then said: “Hearing the three words of the Division of Railways, in fact, many people have already beaten a retreat. This Raozhou province up and down, who do not know, this railroad division is not to be messed with? But I do not know, is not one of them someone got carried away, even said what, such women, this has long been married to a man as a woman, she grams his man, now widowed, and what chastity can be said?”
“And said …… his salary in January geometry, every year to raise a few such women, but also in the matter. Even said: can see this woman, is your family’s luck, you and so dare to gather here, but do not know …… this railroad division is the royal grandson of his highness to operate? They are all the son of God’s disciples, this His Royal Highness the grandson, in the future is to be the emperor, offended them, can’t eat and walk.”
Zhu Di heard here, certainly may not be completely convinced, but also seems to be greatly moved by the fire, thick eyebrows raised, a pair of tiger eyes, swept through the killing machine.
And then, Zhu sneered, “Is that so?”
Zhu Jianfang a face of love and sincerity said: “Grass people, million dare not deceive the emperor reckless, and this matter and these words, then heard a lot of people, the little old man …… although old, but the eyes do not spend, the ear is not back …… is really a thousand times true. ”
“And after that?”
“After that …… the woman’s father and brother then burst into a rage, and immediately fought with it. The rest of the neighbors see this, also can not help but burst into anger, have to go to help …… finally things have become this way. Hey …… Your Majesty, the little old man also has a sentence I do not know when to speak improperly, this matter ah …… little old man stupid, also can not distinguish a good or bad to, only …… nowadays, is indeed The world is going downhill, the railroad division of the people, is rich and powerful, but …… even if you spend a little silver, to find the flowers in the greenhouse, self-gratification is also on the line, why to mess with such a good family it? Little old man naturally know, these people, all are His Royal Highness the heart of the people, but so get, only to bully us these people will be just, involving a woman’s reputation, I’m afraid no one is willing to let go.”
“Naturally …… ” this Zhu Jianfang and carefully said:” small old man stupid, ultimately ignorant, your majesty has its own deep plans and far-sightedness, small old man these foolish views, but just a joke … . please your majesty …… do not blame.”
When Zhang Anshi heard this, his brows frowned lightly, and his heart was slightly startled.
Rao Zhoufu’s side, released this, but it was something that he did not expect.
An old man on the verge of death stated a ‘fact’ with this much trepidation.
In favor of such a person, even if you think that this person’s words may not be credible, there is no possibility of even intimidating him or even torturing him.
As for what this old man said, it was even more powerful.
First of all, it involves the issue of women’s chastity, these things, this is to teach people taboo, not to mention a few clerks, molestation of women is unforgivable, even if the person who did this is his Zhang Anshi, I’m afraid that His Majesty will never be forgiven, at least to whack, and then confinement can not be.
After all, it’s a disgraceful thing to do.
And even more ruthless, but still these few clerks, and the grandson implicated together. These people in public, molested the two women not to mention, but also clamored loudly, they are the pawns of the grandson, is the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty’s heart.
Can His Majesty tolerate such a thing?
As for the question of credibility, since there is a seventy-year-old senior citizen making a statement here and a virtuous woman is involved, just as this senior citizen has said, which virtuous woman will use her own reputation to defame others?
Zhang Anshi could not help but glance at that Chen Jia, but he saw that Chen Jia was calm and relaxed, with a smile on his face.
However, Chen Jia then, looked at Hu Guang.
Now …… he should do the preparation has been prepared, at this time it is just time for Hu Gong to step forward, but where only a few words of righteousness, it is enough to let the matter dust settled.
But to his disappointment, Hu Guang still didn’t say anything as he continued to say nothing.
Chen Jia frowned, and in his heart there were a few moments of impatience, but in front of His Majesty, he had to endure it.
Zhang Anshi said at this time, “Your Majesty, after all, this is only the words of a family and is not trustworthy.”
Zhu Di seems to be angry not light, the truth in the end how, he may not be clear, just right now, his own grandson, was involved in this, teach the military and civilian people spread these things, it is enough to make him angry.
Zhu Di grimaced with obvious anger in his eyes.
Chen Jia, however, was busy saying, “What His Highness, the King of Song, has said is very true.”
He actually followed Zhang Anshi’s words and continued, “A family’s words are indeed not trustworthy. Therefore, I also invited the woman at that time, as well as other people in the neighborhood of the capital city, and implore Your Majesty to ask about them one by one.”
Zhu Di’s eyes opened and he bellowed in a stern voice, “Declare.”
A moment later, a woman, wiping her tears, came in.
She appeared timid, and as soon as she entered the place, she trembled instantly, and timidly bowed down, but she seemed like an ignorant and foolish woman, not daring to raise her head, and even more so, not daring to utter a single word, and then she began to sob.
Zhu Di wrinkled his brows, only feeling bored, but in favor of facing such a woman, but just said, “What happened that day, you say!”
The woman still just hung her head and sobbed.
Zhu Di shouted in a stern voice, “Speak!”
This woman only hit a shiver, then trembling voice said: “That day, that day …… bitch woman on the window sill, is waiting to splash water …… who expects …… who expects …… this downstairs, there will be a few people over, one of them …… one looked up to see the bitch woman …… so …… ”
Just then ……
Something unexpected happened.
Suddenly a voice said, “So the man laughed out loud, did he?”
The woman was first staggered and surprised, and subconsciously said, “Yes, and one man gave a loud laugh.”
Only then did the crowd look toward the person who spoke in surprise, but it was Hu Guang who had been silent just now.
I only saw Hu Guang’s face was calm and indifferent, but then he said, “This person who laughed loudly, is he in his mid to late twenties, with a pale face and a green mole on his forehead.”
When these words came out, the woman’s eyebrows frowned lightly, but she was completely confused.
A flash of panic flashed in her eyes, and she subconsciously looked at Governor Chen Jia.
Obviously, all …… this coincides with what she has to say, it is simply general, which does not prohibit the woman from guessing whether this person is also …… arranged a long time ago.
When Governor Chen Jia saw the woman looking towards him, he was already startled and panicked, and turned his face away.
