Chapter 253 The New Inspector
After fishing for a whole night and a day, the stone boxes underwater in the West Lake were finally cleaned. Some of them had water in them, but only in a small number. The amount of salt left was astonishing.
Although the overall quantity is not as good as the annual salt production in two years, after all, the salt is sold by sea and sold in other countries, and the price of the salt can increase several times.
The salt tax problem was solved, but a new round of problems emerged.
Officials at all levels of the Hangzhou Prefecture began to get busy. The original office of the Hangzhou Prefecture was also requisitioned at this moment and turned into a temporary case-handling yamen for major cases in Hangzhou.
Those illegal things committed by Sanbao in Hangzhou deserve to be punished. For example, Shen Zhengcong, Zhou Tong and Wu Qian conspired to blow up nine dams, resulting in the destruction of many people's fields and the death of many people.
What was even more outrageous were the hundreds of children who died at the hands of Shen Zhengcong, especially when the people learned that those hundreds of children were mutilated by Shen Zhengcong and then thrown into the cellar.
Regardless of whether they were dead or alive, when these children were discovered, they had already turned into all kinds of withered bones.
Who is both a father and a mother, and who wants their children to be surrounded by such a demonic figure like Shen Zhengcong? His sins cannot be washed away even if he is thrown into the eighteenth level of hell. It is really outrageous.
, Anger, resentment!
There are no less than a few thousand people who block the Yamen of Zhensi every day, shouting that Zheng Cong Lingchi will be executed. The people who surround the Yamen of Zhensi every day are impenetrable. In addition to demanding that the court deal with the bastard Shen Zhengcong and Wu Qian seriously
Naturally, he and Zhou Tong couldn't escape. They destroyed other people's fields and killed so many people. There were not a few people who wanted Ling Chi to be executed.
The Yamen of Zhensi was now bustling with activity, but Zhu Song had a quiet time, hiding directly in the imperial envoy's quarters.
At this moment, like Zhu Song, there were two officials in the imperial envoy's office. One of them was naturally Fan Zhongping, the newly appointed chief envoy of Zhejiang, and the other was Qin Tai, the commander of the Zhejiang capital.
It's not that Fan Zhongping and Qin Tai are the only good officials in Zhejiang, but after all, they are much better than Wu Qian and Zhou Tong, especially Qin Tai.
Fan Zhongping is a guy who is known as a person who does not mess with things. According to his official standards, he can work if he wants, but he will never get involved in big or important matters.
If you want your brothers to take responsibility, then don't even think about it. I won't be jealous if you have merit, I will receive my death salary honestly.
Qin Tai was different. The reason he did that before was because Zhou Tong and Wu Qian couldn't tolerate him. They couldn't tolerate him, so they tried every means to drag him down, drove him out of Hangzhou Mansion, and stuffed all the evidence and ledgers into the house.
If something happened in his family, Qin Tai, as the commander of the Hangzhou capital, would naturally not be able to escape.
Why was this military power lost? Mainly because Zhou Tong fed all the soldiers up and down during the four years of Jianwen's reign, letting the soldiers know that their salary did not come from the court, but from him.
This chief minister.
The big-headed soldiers don't have the political acumen, and they don't have the leisure time to think about so many things. They will listen to whoever gives them food and money. This is what they think.
And now that Zhou Tong and Wu Qian have all been brought to justice, the soldiers at the Hangzhou Guards Station are naturally not willing to accompany these two miraculous adults to their deaths.
What's more, all the soldiers and horses from the imperial court have arrived. Although the imperial court only sent 10,000 soldiers and horses, these 10,000 soldiers are soldiers who have gone through hundreds of battles. They are all elite soldiers and strong generals. Where is the Zhejiang Guard?
Can these soldiers compare?
Therefore, in comparison, these soldiers controlled by Zhou Tong and Wu Qian also completely defected. Their original arrogance and contempt for Qin Tai, the commander of the capital, became submissive. No one from top to bottom was willing to
Accompanying Zhou Tong and Wu Qian to die.
Zhu Song stood by the pond inside the cabin, spreading fish food. Seeing the goldfish in the pond eating happily, his mood improved a lot, and his worries were temporarily forgotten.
"Master Qin, I am still relatively inexperienced, so I won't tell you any more unnecessary words. You probably understand in your heart!"
"As the commander of the capital of Zhejiang, you allowed your colleagues to take away your military power. As the highest official in charge of the military of a province, you were sidelined. Your performance has made His Majesty very dissatisfied."
"You have to remember that the court is short of officials, but there is no shortage of generals who can fight. If you can't do it, there are many people who can take your position."
Qin Tai knew that he did not have a good image among His Highness and His Majesty. If he had not made some achievements this time, I am afraid that he would have been resigned from his position as the commander of the capital long ago.
Qin Tai knelt down and cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness's teachings will be remembered in my heart! Your Highness's kindness will never be forgotten!"
Zhu Song sprinkled a handful of fish food into the fish pond.
"Master Qin, please get up. I called you two here today to ask if you have any candidates for the position of Inspector General?"
"You two, please don't take this matter seriously. Although the Inspector is responsible for enforcing the criminal code of a province, he also has the responsibility of supervising the Chief Envoy and the Commander-in-Chief. To be honest, I didn't intend to let you
Recommended, but now is a special period, so I can only break the rules!"
"For the person who holds the position of Inspector-General, I hope that he will be a fair and strict person. He will not be like Zhou Tong and Wu Qian, who got together with the Inspector-General and made such a big case.
He took his life seriously and endangered the dignity of the imperial court. I don’t want it to happen a second time!
Fan Zhongping had no intention of taking this matter seriously at first, so he could just find an official related to the inspector to push it on.
But now that I heard that His Highness meant that he took this matter very seriously, he couldn't just decide on the candidate for the post of Inspector carelessly.
Fan Zhongping also thought of such a person in his mind. If he had to describe him, he was like cowhide that had been stewed over and over again.
"Your Highness, I have a good candidate here. This person was originally Yuan Lei, the Minister of Reminders and Inspectors of Zhejiang Province. He was upright and as solid as a rock. He was beaten to death because he offended Zhou Tong. Now he is the Minister of Reminders and Inspectors.
Prisoner!"
"As the magistrate of Hangzhou, I can clearly see his talents. If he were to be the inspector, he would definitely do a better job than Wu Qian!"
Zhu Song did not agree immediately, but asked Qin Tai next to him.
"Master Qin, what do you think? The three departments in this place are only recommended by the chief envoy. This is not acceptable. You, the commander, also need to be recommended. If you think it is ok, I will go to the imperial court to transfer this person to Zhejiang.
Chapter completed!
