Chapter 546 – Not a single one escaped the net

When Yizhuoha returned to the line in, he heard the woman Liu’s mournful wailing.

The woman exclaimed: “This is not the fault of my wife, it is all on their orders, teaching my wife to listen to them, then there are benefits. I am just a weak woman, otherwise how would I prefer to stain my innocence?”

She bawled as if she was not falsely accusing someone else, but had been wronged.

Yilseha only listened with a pain in her brain.

Immediately after, and then came the voice of the Jain old, this seven old and eighty people, originally also panting, now it seems to be all of a sudden in the middle of the air up: “The old man, the old man is also blinded by them …… is this governor Chen Jia, is this Chen Jia abetted the old man. Your Majesty …… the old man is old, already old eyes, where to understand what things, but was instigated, really …… really ……”

He said, whimpering.

In the blink of an eye, the false accusers seem to have become victims all of a sudden.

Only Chen Jia and the other officials of the government offices, each with a miserable face.

Zhu Di hooked his lips and smiled coldly, looking at the ugliness of these people, disgust swept through his eyes and he couldn’t help but say, “What is the truth, what is it?”

Not waiting for Chen Jia to open his mouth.

The Raozhou Prefecture Tongzhi in the back then has bowed down and said, “Your Majesty, the truth …… truth is …… that the government office, deliberately in the name of good offices, invited the officials of the Railway Division to come, and then . . set up a trap, using the excuse to teach a hard lesson.”

When Zhu Di heard this, his face turned blue and he said sternly, “Why is that so?”

Chen Jia’s face was ugly to the extreme.

At this point, it doesn’t matter what else is said or not said, there are people who want to say it instead.

But at this time, Chen Jia suddenly roared: “Because the railroad division goes on like this, the Raozhou Prefecture …… will die without a burial place! This let it go on, how much land is going to be barren, no one to cultivate, within the capital city, all industries are depressed, the people all go to the railroad division. And Raozhou, but became a dead city! Could it be that ……… the Railway Division moving the people to the railroad line, and letting the Prefecture decline, is His Majesty’s original intention?”

He more and more excitedly said: “last year so far, Raozhou city, there are still seven thousand nine hundred military and civilian people, and now only three thousand seven hundred households left, the population migration of the people, teach people jaw-dropping. Prefectural city so, the lower counties is even more so, Raozhou Prefecture under the Zunqiao Township, originally there were 3,900 households, and now, they help the old and young, by the railroad division of the encouragement, the last remaining people households but two thousand out.”

His lips shivered, continued: “less such a lot of people, how much land to be barren, this good good land, no one asked, everyone to the railroad division. The court s taxes, this year, the government collected until now, but also less than half of the previous years. This railroad division …… in one day, Raozhou province will never have peace!”

He changed his fearful look and spoke with great righteousness and vigor.

Zhu Di listened and looked at him indifferently, but did not utter a word.

Zhang Anshi actually had a hint of illusion, like this Chen Jia is not a false accusation and murder with malicious intent of the stolen officials, but like a worry about the country and the people of the scholars.

At this time, Chen Jia then miserable voice: “land barren, the people displaced, food production is reduced, and the grain tax is also reduced, the people are in fear, this is the minister in Raozhou this one or two years in the feeling, I if you sit back and do nothing, then this governor …… will not become a laughing stock? The duties of the governor, is to report to the state, under the rule of the people, how can I not act?”

His stern rhetorical question instead subdued many of them.

Zhang Anshi frowned in disgust, only to feel that this guy is sophistry, but after all, the words in his heart are poor, but for a moment I do not know how to refute.

Zhu, on the other hand, continued to look at Chen Jia coldly.

It must be said that Chen Jia’s words, but finally, these officials who were about to turn against the water, and even the woman Liu’s and Jain’s, were all subdued.

They obviously agreed with Chen Jia’s, although it is a false accusation, but under Chen Jia’s words of righteousness, as if what they do, is really loyal and righteous, at this time they are silenced, and no longer shirk their responsibilities.

Right after this brief silence, someone couldn’t help but let out a soft laugh.

The crowd looked, but it was Hu Guang.

Hu Guang faithfully stepped out, in addition to the corners of his mouth with a few points of mocking intent of the light smile, his face today looks very cold, eyes without a few points of indignation, opened his mouth and said, “Is it really so?”

Chen Jia’s forehead slid down a drop of cold sweat, but hardened his head, gritted his teeth and looked at Hu Guang, in his opinion, today’s full plate is all because of this traitor Hu Guang.

At this time, I only wish to eat Hu Guang’s flesh alive.

“How could it not be so?”

Hu Guang said, “Great good land, no one to plow, so that the grain production greatly reduced, then I would like to ask, my Ming people, generations, are dependent on the land for a living, I do not know how many people, only good at farming, this large amount of fertile farmland, right here, why do not they go to cultivate, but would rather leave their homes, to do hard labor?”

Chen Jia heard, said, “Since because …… because the railroad division compulsion …… because ……”

Hu Guang interrupted him and shouted, “I don’t think so, Governor Chen said that it was because of the compulsion of the Railway Division, are all the countless people so stupid that they are hopeless? If it’s just compulsion, could they be so stupid that they don’t know what’s good for them?”

Chen Jia: “……”

Hu Guang laughed coldly, “A large amount of fertile land, no one to cultivate it, you as a governor, do not go to look for the real reason, but impose it on the Railway Division and the ignorant people. How dare you call yourself a parent official? If the people really have fertile land to cultivate, cultivate the grain, all for their own, no corv茅e, no tenant rent, only need to pay some money to the court, will be able to live in peace, who would be willing to leave their homes, and who would be willing to bring their wives and children, such as a drifter, to the railroad department there?”

Chen Jia said, “What does Lord Hu mean by this?”

“It is the meaning of what the old man said.” Hu Guang said: “The people are suffering, you do not know, the people had to leave their homes, you do not go to look for the real reason, the pain, but because the people are all away from the countryside, so that the local gentry’s land is not rented, this is your so-called benevolence and virtue, is your duty? What you have in mind, where are the people? But it is …… only these hundreds and thousands of squires within this Raozhou Prefecture!”

“Now because their interests are damaged, you are at the end of your tether, so you set up a treacherous plan to kill the officials of the Railway Division, and after the incident, fearing to be guilty, you secretly organized people to make false accusations. You are so heartless, so shameless and despicable that you dare to call yourself a parent official in front of His Majesty. A person like you is worse than a beast, and you dare to argue here.”

Chen Jia’s forehead was dripping with sweat.

Hu Guang is not going to stop there, the air continued: “the world’s most evil people, not just indiscriminate killing of innocent people. But precisely you and others like this, on the one hand kill, on the other hand push people to the fire pit of eternal destruction, but also rely on clever tongue, rely on the belly of the ink, talk about the great righteousness of the shameless villains!”

“Indiscriminate murder of innocent people, at least can still teach the world to know his original face, so that people to its spurned. But a despicable villain like you, who knows no shame, can always use hypocrisy to blind the ignorant, to achieve your sinister purpose.”

Chen Jia opened her mouth as if she wanted to retort, but she was actually speechless.

Hu Guang then said: “Your Majesty, in this case, led by Chen Jia, the evil officials and evil officials, the most shameless, the court should be severely punished as a warning to others! I thought …… that Chen Jia’s crimes were too numerous to mention, and that he should be exterminated to warn future generations.”

This statement made Zhu Di also not be refreshed.

He looked deeply at Hu Guang.

Instead, he sighed inwardly.

At this time, Zhu Di felt that Hu Guang, indeed, had a lot to offer.

Of course …… Zhu Di obviously also saw the other side of Hu Guang.

That is, in the case of Hu Guang so indignant, actually …… still chose to tolerate.

Yes, on the surface, Hu Guang pleaded with His Majesty to target Chen Jia for genocide, which is certainly the most severe punishment.

But don’t forget, Chen Jia has quite a few henchmen, and this one thing is not something that can be done by just one Chen Jia.

As a matter of fact, this is such a serious false accusation, and also belongs to the conspiracy, the dead and injured people, but also the railroad division’s life officials. If it is severely punished, all the people involved in this matter, I’m afraid that all the family will be exterminated, one do not want to run away.

Hu Guang only pleaded for the extermination of Chen Jia, in a way, is also telling Zhu Di, Chen Jia is the leader of the bandits, should be capital punishment, as for the other party members, the punishment must be inferior.

Zhu’s gaze turned, narrowing his eyes as he looked toward Chen Jia, a deep coldness erupting in his eyes.

Chen Jia at this time, as if by Hu Guang stripped the shell of the egg, it seems that even the last layer of moral cover cloth, actually also no longer, at this time the heart can not help but fear a lot.

The word “extermination” is like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, so much so that his righteousness finally disappeared, and what followed was a deep sense of fear.

In fear, he said warily, “I die ten thousand deaths, and I implore …… your majesty to be lenient.”

His voice trembled with supplication.

Zhu Di categorically said: “Permit Hu Qing’s report, as a warning to others, to exterminate his family.”

Chen Jia heard, suddenly felt that his body has become rotten mud, actually paralyzed at once.

The woman and the Elder were even more panicked, and panicked and begged for forgiveness.

Zhu Di, however, ignored them, and turned to Yiluoha: “The witnesses outside, can all still be there?”

Yiluoha then said, “Your Majesty, I will go again.”

At that moment, he went out of the line, and in a short time, he came back at a trot, with a roster in his hand.

Yiluoha presented the roster, and said, “Your Majesty, this is a roster of all those who will testify against the governor Chen Jia, and there are three hundred and seventy-two people with famous names, all of them claiming that they were on the street when the Railway Division personnel committed the murder in the local street and saw it with their own eyes.”

Zhu Di received the roster and only lightly scanned it, saying in a mocking tone, “It seems that none of them have been wronged?”

Also lost ha said:” slave girl afraid of someone is wrongly accused, so when registering, teach people to cross-examine, whether it is to testify, and whether to prove that …… the Railway Division personnel to commit murder, these people …… are all fussed about, said so. ”

Zhu Di indifferently nodded his head, and then said, “People take hold, turn their heads to copy their homes, their families, all assassinated …….”

Zhu paused here.

Zhang Anshi was instantly energized, and was busily tilting his face up with a look of His Majesty looking at me, His Majesty looking at me.

Zhu Di said carelessly, “Assassinate and assign to Xinzhou.”

Zhang Anshi was soothed, and his heart was as sweet as honey all at once.

That’s over 300 more families!

Don’t underestimate these 300 or so households, households are not the same as each other.

Ordinary people, a family may be just a few people, but if some deep-rooted family, this family, divided into the first, second, third and fourth houses, even if the son, but also divided into the first son, concubine son, maidservant son, plus, a lot of people in order to attach to such a family, often settled in their homes, some families, a family of hundreds of mouths.

And not surprisingly, these so-called witnesses have thicker account books.

That’s the main reason why Zhang Anshi is looking forward to it.

Zhang Anshi immediately said, “Your Majesty believes in me so much, I …… am really grateful, please don’t worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely discipline them well, and teach them to know …… the consequences of falsely accusing others.”

Zhu Di this, not very interested in this Daming …… since the opening of the sea, there is a huge benefit lies in the fact that the original is not worth a penny of manpower, now become so delicious.

You know, in the past, the court is most worried about, is the people into the harm of the stragglers, but now, on the contrary, fear of manpower shortage, even criminals, has become the meat and potatoes.

And that woman and the Elder heard, but has long been face miserable, obviously, their household book is also relatively thick, although exempted from the end of the clan extinction, but in their view, a household book thick family, suddenly want to assassinate and match 10,000 miles away, this is almost and the clan extinction, in fact, there is not much difference.

Sage only felt a black eye, I did not expect, the time of death, but also to harm the children and grandchildren.

As for the woman, suddenly not crying, like all of a sudden lost the soul in general, only wooden kneeling on the ground, bowed his head without saying anything.

Zhu Di, however, did not care about this, and only said, “Do it immediately to take the people, and do not spare any of them.”

He said as he nodded at the roster.

It is also a loss of ha will be realized.

Not long ago, this line in the outside, still lively, this more than three hundred people, said there are many people, are familiar with each other, so we are here, bored, waiting to testify, or later for the pledge, because of waiting for a long time, can not help but be anxious, so they will be three or five groups of people together, say some gossip.

“Somehow …… have not summoned us.”

“Chen Zhifu at first, is not so said, said soon to go in, then sign the pledge ……”

“Hey …… this is a royal trial, have to take some time, no rush ……”

“Those damn Railroad Division officials, they’re just hateful ……”

While they were talking, someone suddenly shouted, “What do you see there?”

But see where the streets and alleys, suddenly the pressurized railroad division guards officers and soldiers have been open fire, directly pressed up.

For a moment, the crowd stirred a bit, some people sensed that something was wrong and subconsciously wanted to avoid trouble, raising their eyes to look around, only to realize that, at this point, there was no way out.

“No way, no how ……”

The people who originally wanted to run away, realized that there was no way out, so they were busy is kneeling down, mouth shouting, “What happened …….”

Another person sorrowfully said, “Wronged, wronged ah ……”

For a moment, there was a cacophony of voices, but soon the sound became mournful, followed by …… all the voices laying down.

Catch the extremely smooth, even smooth a little over the top, almost all the Chin prisoner, all together, famous name, has long been registered, only need to manpower from all sides to round up, in a flash, will be a net.

“Your Majesty ……,” Yiluoha hurriedly came to report, “all the Chinchilla, all have been taken.”

Zhu Di was so calm and relaxed that he actually didn’t get angry because of it, he just said, “This is good, it saves some effort.”

Outside, however, there were some loud noises.

But a eunuch came hurriedly, looking hesitant.

Zhu frowned, “What is it?”

This eunuch just said, “Your Majesty, this outside, there are still a few …… not Chin prisoners, but people from the medical school …… who …… they …… they brought a few injured Officials have come ……”

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi can not help but sweat, originally this hand, is Zhang Anshi’s pressure arrangements, will be these several seriously injured officials to carry, so that his majesty personally see those Chin committed ruthless, as a way to win his majesty’s sympathy for the railroad division.

But what Zhang Anshi didn’t expect was that today, Hu Guang’s fighting strength directly exploded.

Before Zhang Anshi sold out, the battle was already over, and now this arrangement and setup seems to be a snake, and even a bit ridiculous.

At least Hu Guang, who was standing on the sidelines, frowned fiercely.

Joking, yesterday to inquire about injuries, they see Hu Mu these people, wrapped up with dumplings, the doctor also said, now we must pay attention to rest, do not disturb the patient, and said that must be rested.

But you, Zhang Anshi, are so good that you’ve taken someone out today and paraded them?

Hu Guang heartache is heartache, just at this time is not good to say anything.

Since he opened the head, since he can not be as unaware, Zhang Anshi busy awkwardly said: “Your Majesty …… this …… these people …… are ministers …… minister’s arrangement, the minister …… minister was thinking …… they suffered such aggression, must let them …… participate in the imperial trial, so as to teach them to see with their own eyes that the great revenge has been avenged ……”

Zhang Anshi had a hard time finding an excuse that he thought made sense.

Zhu Di, on the other hand, looked at Zhang Anshi speechlessly, although Zhang Anshi said the crown, but his little heart, in fact, who does not know?

Not to mention being as shrewd as Zhu Di!

After a brief moment of speechlessness.

Zhu Di finally said, “Carry it in, since it’s here, I want to see it.”

At these words, Zhang Anshi was greatly relieved.

It didn’t take long to see a dozen or so doctors, seven hands and eight feet with a stretcher carrying people in.

Just see that one individual, covered with a white sheet, if not this sheet did not cover the face, almost teach people to think …… that this is the funeral scene.

One look at the blinding sheet is a heartbreakingly bad feeling.

Zhang Anshi also noticed the problem, and his face could not help but bubble up with embarrassment, and he opened his mouth to explain, but on second thought, it seems that the more he explains, the more chaotic he is, and he is so …… still silent.
