Chapter 647: Not killing is not enough for the anger of the common people

Zhou Jin saw Yang Gong silently.

Naturally, I know what he means.

"This time I came to Shandong on the order of the court, and I actually followed the teacher's wishes."

Zhou Jin's mentor was Liu Hongxun, and many people know about this.

Zhou Jin then said: "This time, I came to Shandong Provincial Administration and the Imperial Office to do only one thing, that is, to inspect the illegal gentry of various prefectures and counties. The country is corrupt and the people are suffering. How can we sit down and watch? Like the Zhou family, we cannot stay. Brother Yang, how can we cry all the way? You must understand this principle."

Yang Gong then carefully whispered: "Then you will be punished by treason, and the whole family will be killed. If no one is left, what advice can Brother Zhou give?"

"I dare not take the advice." Zhou Jin smiled and said, "You and I are the same year and are Jinshi on the same list. Naturally, I am closer to others. So when I come to Shandong this time, the first one is to find you. The crime of treason must be counted. The problem now is that the Zhou family rebellion. Is there no accomplice?"

He said this sentence lightly.

Yang Gong was shocked: "Agreeable to the conspiracy?"

"Whenever there are treasons, there will be complicits." Zhou Jin said lightly: "Now that bandits are approaching, they are approaching Jingxiang in the south, and look at Shandong in the south, and are eager to try. The survival of the Ming Dynasty is only at sprinting. The thieves are so powerful, is there no one colluding with bandits? Why does the court need my mentor to make such a big fanfare? What are they?"

Yang Gong immediately understood: "Then Brother Zhou means..."

"The case needs to be tried and follow the clues. This is not something that a family and two families can do."

"Yes." Yang Gong nodded and said, "I'll give it another try."

"It's not to give it a try." Zhou Jin glanced at Yang Gong with a meaningful look, and then said, "It's hard to explain if it must be done.

Yang Gong is actually a little confused.

A month ago, someone from above was asking for the gentry. Why did this ending happen in a blink of an eye?

If it weren't for everyone's knowledge that Zhou Jin was Liu Hongxun's confidant, Yang Gong even suspected that Zhou Jin was an undercover agent of the Jinyiwei.

However, the affairs in the court were treacherous and changeable. He was just a magistrate who was just a dead leaf that was drifting with the flow. His wealth, honor and disgrace all depended on the mercy of his superiors. If things were done, they would be successful, but they would not be able to do it...

Yang Gong knew very well that if he couldn't do it or didn't do it, he would be the Zhou family's accomplice and would have no place to die.

He bowed and said, "If the officials are clear, they will definitely succeed. Since they are rebellious, they are not small cases. What is a mere gentry? I think... there must be many people involved. If the officials are not talented, they will even dig out the people one by one if they fight to pieces. But..."

Speaking of this, he looked up and said, "I don't know Brother Xian, is there anything... explicit?"

You all said you have to follow the clues. Which vine is following? Can you give me some tips?

Zhou Jin is about to say something.

At this moment, someone suddenly said outside: "There is an emergency report from the shop, and the 100-mile rush is urgent."

Zhou Jin suddenly stood up and said, "How... come and see me."

The clerk hurriedly delivered a memorial to come forward.

Zhou Jin saw that it was not from the capital, and he was a little confused. When he opened it, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Who is the governor of Shandong Shen Xun?"

"What?" Yang Gong was confused.

Zhou Jin pointed at the report and reported: "I never expected that the Shandong Governor also took action. He captured and killed seventeen rebellious parties in Jinan. It was such a thunderous method, and it was too lightning to cover up the ears."

When Yang Gong heard this, he was shocked and subconsciously said, "They are the same?"

Zhou Jin glared at him and said displeasedly: "What are we, what are they?"

Yang Gong felt that he was speechless and his face suddenly turned red, mainly because he was shocked.

Zhou Jin was about to submit the report and said, "Shandong Governor Chen Xun was the younger brother of the Shandong Censor Chen, and Chen Xun, who remembered correctly, was recommended by Zhang Fengxiang, the former doctor of the Ministry of Personnel. Zhang Fengxiang... is now the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel... If I remember correctly, the relationship between this person and Huang Gong is very close."

"The Chief Supervisor?"

Zhou Jin said: "Don't worry about these things. You should act faster. In my opinion, soon all places will take action. Everybody will die. Whoever takes action first will get the result first. I will report this to my mentor immediately."

Yang Gong was now relieved, but he still said, "Just I just wanted to ask... which vine to follow..."

Zhou Jin was thinking about Jinan Prefecture and said subconsciously: "You can do it, I don't know much about the situation in Shandong."

Yang Gong: “…”

Suddenly, the smell of gunpowder began to appear in the middle of the court.

While a large number of letters were beginning to communicate with each other, the censors of the Censorate reported more than a dozen cases of rebellion involving Shandong.

Suddenly... Someone began to reminisce about it.

However, the court is still calm.

Nothing seems to have happened.

There was nothing wrong in the cabinet, and Liu Hongxun worked as usual.

Even if the Shandong Censor Zhou Jin submitted a memorial and found someone colluding with bandits and planning to rebel, Liu Hongxun's vote was just written: There must be evidence to investigate.

At this time, someone finally found Zhang Jingyi.

However, Emperor Tianqi ordered Zhang Jingyi to enter the palace to meet him urgently.

Zhang Jingyi did not dare to neglect and hurried into the palace.

The eunuch led into the Qinzheng Hall of Xiyuan, but found that it was already a crowd of people.

Emperor Tianqi's expression today was very calm. He opened the stacks of memorials and read them one by one. He looked up and said that all the officials had almost arrived. From the cabinet to the six ministries, to the chief officials of each court and temple, there were also some heroes.

Everyone lowered their heads in unison and remained silent.

Emperor Tianqi said: "How come it is so good? There are so many rebellion cases on the ground in Shandong?"

But... it was still very quiet and no one answered.

Emperor Tianqi looked up at Zhang Jingyi who had just come in and said, "Did the Jinyiwei notice it beforehand?"

Zhang Jingyi is not a fool, but... what he was shocked by the cruelty of some people.

In fact, even fools can see clearly. Who is not a ruthless person who can be ranked in the court? It can be said that everyone is a murderer who has no blood, but has a kind and kind appearance.

Zhang Jingyi looked ashamed and said, "I... I don't know anything about this... I'll die."

Emperor Aoki tried hard to hold back his laughter.

Fortunately, he finally held back, took a deep breath, and then said seriously: "The Jinyiwei has been a little casual these days. There are so many rebellions, more than 70 pieces of big and small..."

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but say in surprise: "More than seventy pieces?"

Emperor Tianqi frowned and said in a deep voice: "I was also very surprised. I never expected that the thief of the Shandong Provincial Governor's Office had reached such an urgent point, and the Jinyiwei knew nothing..."

Zhang Jingyi had to bite the bullet and said, "I must purify it well."

This means it's almost the same.

Emperor Tianqi did not continue to talk about this, but said, "What should we do if these rebels are so rampant?"

The ministers still didn't say anything.

Just shoot the first bird.

There is always someone who is the bad guy, the problem is... everyone doesn't want it to be themselves.

Emperor Tianqi said again: "Don't everyone speak? Huang Qing, please tell me."

After being named after a special name, Huang Liji had to stand up and said, "Since it is a rebellion, it is just a matter of scale. Rebellion is not a trivial matter... So my suggestion is to immediately appoint an imperial envoy to supervise the case."

Emperor Tianqi stared at Huang Liji: "I see that these rebellious people are actually gentry... I have been thinking about it for a long time. It may be because I wanted to implement the new policy, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the gentry. Now that I have suspended the new policy, it is understandable that the gentry is dissatisfied with me. Although it is a rebellion, I still plan to amnesty, at least... don't implicate it. What do you think?"

He said this lightly.

This made many people anxious.

You were the one who killed people at the beginning, but now do you want to be a good person?

You have become a good person, what should we do?

Huang Liji was very embarrassed, but he continued to bite the bullet and said, "Your Majesty, it must be a major case of treason. Even if it is a general amnesty, this treason is still unpardoned. Therefore, I think... the law cannot be favored by personal gain, and it is better to be a warning to others. Otherwise, everyone will follow the examples, where will this discipline be set?"

Emperor Apocalypse then looked at the others and asked patiently: "What about you? Do you think so too?"

At this time, Liu Hongxun stood up: "What Mr. Huang said is the most rational thing. If the country wants to govern, it must be deterred. The situation in Shandong is already in danger. Does Your Majesty want to sit down and see it become the second Jingxiang? Today, if you don't guard against the situation, you will cut off all the traitors. I will raise a tiger as a disaster. I know that Your Majesty is kind-hearted, but sometimes, it's better to kill him."

The other ministers also said, "Your Majesty, you cannot hesitate or hesitate. These people... are so rampant that they can't let them go!"

Someone said, "These people are rampant and unlawful, and not killing them will not be enough to calm the public's anger!"

"Governing the country is lenient, but treating traitors without strict punishment and strict laws, it will inevitably give traitors the traitors an opportunity to take advantage of it. Please do not breed benevolence."

Emperor Tianqi looked at the people one by one and was shocked and couldn't help but curse in his heart: These dogs have actually bought stocks secretly.

This shows how hot the stock was at that time.

In this hall, there are really one counting one, and none of them run away!

Naturally, Emperor Tianqi was already very happy and continued to laugh. He really wanted to laugh out loud, but now... he still looked regretful and thoughtful, and sighed: "What does Zhang Qing mean?"

Zhang Jingyi said, "I have two points, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

So everyone looked at Zhang Jingyi in unison.

Zhang Jingyi felt that his highlight moment had come.
