Chapter seven hundred and forty-ninth not to be jealous of mediocrity

Since Du Shiyi suddenly spoke up and suppressed Guo Shisan, who was planning to stir up trouble, Tang Ming, who was almost furious just now, finally took a deep breath and calmed down. When Du Shiyi nodded and signaled, he clearly gave the dominance to himself. He calmed down and spoke calmly.

"Since Marshal Du explained the second half, I might as well explain your questions in the first half. You just said that it was just a few old soldiers' broken thatched houses, but they shot a few rockets. One had never completely burned them, and the other had never tried to seize any property. Do you think this could be dealt with in this way? It should be noted that there was a clear statement in Yonghui's Rule that any government office and private houses, as long as they set fire, no matter the size of the house or the amount of property they were damaged, they would be left for three years. The rockets fired by you before had damaged the Zhang family's vegetable garden, which was confirmed to have committed this. If you are not convinced, you can appeal to the upper party. Anyone who is familiar with the law will have the same result."

This time, it was Guo Shisan's turn, who never knew what the laws were. Since Tang Ming had seized the initiative again, he scolded him with a stern voice and expression: "Besides, are you just a broken thatched house of a few old soldiers? The word "old soldiers" can be despised by the dandy boys who only know how to enjoy themselves, where are you? These houses were built by them with bricks, tiles and woods with their own hands, but they were almost destroyed by your frivolous child's hands. It would be fine if you don't repent, but you would be lightly trying to get rid of your sins. Ask yourself, this heart in your heart is full of people's wealth and blood, and there is no trace of loyalty and courage."

Speaking of this, Tang Ming finally stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Mr. Du was in charge of the case of Lantian County's private occupation of mountain and lake water conservancy during the Wannianwei. At that time, he was impartial and could not avoid it. Although I dare not compete with Mars. Du, the more than ten people in Guo's family have a confirmed evidence of arson. He should be sentenced to three years of apprenticeship according to the law."

What is the concept of three years of imprisonment? Tang Law’s five punishments, flogging, candid, imprisonment, waste punishment, and death penalty. The imprisonment is the third level, which is more serious than candid punishment, and three years of imprisonment is the worst among the fifth level of imprisonment. These three years of hard labor with torture tools is even more humiliating and harder than candid punishment. Therefore, when he heard that he was going to be sentenced to three years in prison, a Guo family’s son who had just been flogged fell head-on and fainted, and the rest of his face was also bloodless. At this time, Guo Shisan, who had just been refuted by Du Shiyi and Tang Ming, suddenly seemed to grab a life-saving straw and shouted loudly.

"Isn't it possible to redeem copper by imprisonment? I can redeem copper, no matter how much I can afford it."

Almost as soon as Guo Shisan started to shout, Tang Ming sneered: "Reden copper? You must use the regulations in the Yonghui Rules of the Tang Dynasty. If you have conditions, you are an official of the ninth rank or above, and you can either be an official of the eighth rank or above; second, your parents or grandfather are an official of the seventh rank or above. As for the third article, I think you are a close relative in your family who is not qualified to enjoy the privilege of consulting. Let me ask you, do you have an official of the ninth rank or above? Your parents or grandfather are an official of the seventh rank or above?"

As soon as this was said, some of the dozen people below seemed to have found treasures, but most of them were ashamed. Although Guo Zhiyun had vigorously promoted some of the Guo family to serve in the army after guarding Shanzhou as the governor of Longyou, he could not give up military merits at will. In addition, at the beginning of Kaiyuan, the military merits were quite strict. Except for Guo Ying who enjoyed the official position of grace as soon as he landed like this, there were not many children of the Guo family who were above the seventh rank. At least, Guo Shisan, who was yelling to redeem copper, was just a little wealthy at home, and his father was just a general in the traveling army.

Seeing Guo Shisan being frozen there, Tang Ming said sternly: "Although I have a method of asking for a reduction in the redemption in my Tang Law, it is because Your Majesty is sympathetic to an official and is used to reduce the sentence when the respected person has any mistakes. However, it is not possible to escape punishment if he has any mistakes. If he thinks that he can redeem it once he is guilty, he is now imprisonment, and if he commits a death sentence in the future, he will regret it."

When the public trial was finally over on this day, he chewed the words of Du Shiyi and Tang Ming from the past and the next, and felt a different feeling in his heart. Especially the members of the Guo family, because Du Shiyi suppressed illegal people, but promoted capable people, they inevitably had two attitudes. One was angry that Du Shiyi drove Guo Ying away first, and then vented his anger to establish his authority. The other was that the Guo family style should have been rectified long ago. General Du promoted talents, and made Guo Jian and Sima, who were also marching to the army, expressing his importance to the Guo family. Both of these two factions were pointed at each other, and immediately made the Guo family, which was once powerful in Helong, and was a bit divided.

However, Du Shiyi's case was handled with all the evidence and possessed a moral commanding height. In addition, Guo Jian must help Du Shiyi to pull those bad apples to the end, so he had to combine the publicity. For a moment, the news that the case was settled impartially was spread. As for Yao Feng, the sons of the military-class families who were dissatisfied with the Guo family who dominated the Guo family, were inevitably helped to fuel the fire. In this way, among the Guo family, which was divided into two factions, the people who depended on Guo Ying the most and now the heaviest, were struggling to make trouble.

In military affairs, he temporarily achieved his goal by taking advantage of such a case of unsuccessful arson. Du Shiyi did not want to be too quick and instant profit, so he temporarily stopped. As for the reopened Chiling Mutual Market, he implemented a series of measures. First, strictly control silk and horse changes; second, formulate tea guide prices and strictly control the behavior of selling tea at low prices; third, the traders adopted an access system to thoroughly investigate no tea attractors.

The tea induced system has been implemented for eight or nine years. It has made great progress, both in the southwest and southeast. Although there are merchants who escape from tea induced, the places where the bulk tea transactions are traded on the border are also the most stringent places for tea transactions. Although there are many people who take risks in Helong, when Du Shiyi directly regards the Five Hundred Guards as the main force for the ban, Tang Ming, the recorder, led the thorough investigation by himself, so he let the private tea merchants disappear for a while.

In a blink of an eye, Li Bai, Wang Zhihuan and Meng Haoran, who had traveled to Liangzhou with Wang Zhongsi who had previously traveled to Liangzhou with Wang Zhongsi, came back together. The three of them, who were so dusty that they didn't even have time to go back to their room to change their clothes, broke into Zhenqiangzhai. Wang Zhihuan even shouted without even saying hello as soon as they met, "Jun Li, something happened in Hexi. Wang Zhongsi was edited by a censor in Chang'an. It seemed that the soldiers under him had reported that he had killed prisoners and took advantage of his merits. He said that the saint was very angry and had ordered him to return to Chang'an to argue. It seemed that things seemed very serious.

Du Shiyi was still thinking that now that he was guarding Shanzhou, should he think of a way to bring Wang Zhongsi from Niu Xianke so that he could have the most reliable helper in military affairs? Who would have thought that before this idea was implemented, he encountered such a change. He changed his face and immediately asked: "Mr. Niu has never tried to protect Wang Zhongsi?"

"Master Niu said that the censor Huang Fu Weiming, who wrote the letter to impeach, is famous among the Censors. Moreover, Wang Zhongsi killed prisoners, but it is not necessary to make contributions. Master Niu has a shallow foundation in the court. Instead of rashly fighting, it is better to report the whole story clearly and have already written to Xiao Xiangguo." Before, Li Bai was very respectful to Wang Zhongsi, who was generous. At this moment, he talked about Niu Xianke's weakness. "As the governor of Hexi, such a big thing is just reported clearly, rather than protecting his subordinates who have made great contributions, Master Niu is too cautious."

Even Meng Haoran, who was always relatively calm, disagreed when talking about Niu Xianke: "Before, Wang Zhongsi introduced us, the three of us also paid homage to Niu Dashang. He was polite to me, but he was not prone to the words, so the three of us quickly quit. It is said that Niu Dashang is loyal, but loyal people cannot have no temper at all. In the end, it is a mistake that you have no confidence to not study."

Even Meng Haoran, who was just a white man, judged Niu Xianke like this. Li Bai and Wang Zhihuan agreed with each other. Du Shiyi couldn't help but sigh that scholars who studied and clerks who were born out of foreign officials these days did have a natural gap, and even Niu Xianke, who had already become the governor, could not avoid it. Although the three of them clearly didn't know who Huangfu Weiming, who had sued Wang Zhongsi in Chang'an, was sacred, but Du Shiyi had talked deeply with Wang Zhongsi before, and had to sigh in his heart that Wang Zhongsi really had accused him of this person.

However, Huangfu Weiming was really capable and could directly pull this young brave general who was known as the adopted son of the emperor to be the horse.

You know, according to Gao Lishi's private joke, Li Longji had been anxious to transfer Wang Zhongsi from Yunzhou to Hexi before, because Du Shiyi was too dangerous when he first arrived in Yunzhou, and Wang Zhongsi was also a newborn calf and not afraid of tigers. The previous victory in Yunzhou was indeed exciting, but if a little mistake was made, it might be a huge disaster. Therefore, Li Longji still favored Wang Zhongsi, the general Miaozi, after all, Yu Qian transferred the person to Hexi as Xiao Song wished.

"Jun Li, do you care about this?" Wang Zhihuan was a straightforward person and asked straightforwardly.

Li Bai met Du Shiyi when he was cold and knew him a little more about Du Shiyi's temperament: "If Junli doesn't mind, will I go back to Chang'an to inquire?"

If you go and inquire, if something happens to kill someone, it will be a big trouble
