Chapter 191 Murder and the Opposition of the Officials

When Wu Jin led the old man Kong Zhiqi up, the buried woman had been placed flat on the wooden board and simply covered with a reed mat.

Although it is already summer, the buried corpse has not been killed for a long time, so the smell is not very strong, and the basic appearance can be identified on the face. The old man Kong Zhiqi directly recognized this as his daughter and burst into tears.

"My poor son, what can you do if you leave now!"

At this time, Yidong Factory Actor also walked to Wu Jin and reported:

"Big head, we have checked the female corpse as you told me. We estimate that the death was not long, and we should have been whipped to death, because there were whip marks on his back and legs, and some private place was torn scars;

It seems that I should have been abused by inhuman before my death, and my methods are cruel. Our East Factory is also slightly inferior. The key is that it is just a thirteen-year-old cardamom girl."

After hearing this, Wu Jin also came over and lifted the reed mat and looked carefully. After he couldn't help but retching, he cursed with breathing:

"What a beast. A worse person can do such a careless thing." Then, he ordered people to protect the scene and re-select a site to bury Yuan Chonghuan, and he himself rushed back to report to Zhu Youxiao.

The deceased's father Kong Zhiqi had fainted from crying. After a little relief, he was taken back to the imperial boat by the people from the East Factory to rest, and he was asked to prepare for the summons of His Majesty the Emperor at any time.

After being sad, Kong Zhiqi replaced him with hatred for the brutal murderer. When he knew that His Majesty wanted to preside over justice for him, he actively cooperated.

After Wu Jin reported the matter to Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao was also shocked and was also angry about the horrifying matter. However, Zhu Youxiao did not directly hand it over to the Shandong Censorate to handle it directly, but asked Wu Jin to send additional personnel to conduct a secret investigation first.

Zhu Youxiao is not sure whether this matter has anything to do with the government. If so, then its background must be quite good, so Zhu Youxiao also has to be so careful and still focuses on the matter of paying food together with officials and gentry.

...

On this side, as soon as Zhu Youxiao said as an official and gentry, the hall, which was still smiling at first, suddenly became surprisingly quiet, and it was almost a whisper.

Kong Yinzhi couldn't help but feel tight, and an awkward smile appeared on his face.

The Shandong governor Gu Tingzhuo simply sneered and shook his head slightly.

The Shandong Censor had a sudden giori-like feeling, and he suddenly didn't know what to say.

Major newspapers have debated policies such as the integration of officials and gentry, the distribution of quotas and the width of commercial tax collection. These cultural people in Shandong and Dong also know this, and they also know that once something is proposed in the newspaper, it is very likely that the court will implement what policies it will be.

Therefore, these Shandong officials and gentry heard some news about His Majesty's new policy, but they did not expect that His Majesty would really take Shandong Dong as a pilot, and it was the most unwilling thing for them to accept to pay the food together. This was equivalent to depriving the literati and officials who had enjoyed thousands of years.

Although Zhu Youxiao said that this was the meaning of the new Shandong Governor Yuan Keli, anyone could guess that this must be His Majesty’s idea, otherwise Yuan Keli would not have served as Shandong Governor Yuan Keli.

However, facing this iron-blooded emperor who could kill dozens of Donglin Party officials and directly confiscate the eight major Shanxi merchants, the officials and gentry did not dare to explicitly oppose Zhu Youxiao, and could only remain silent, and they all had to listen to the meaning of Kong Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi. After all, among them, the Kong family is the one who is the most influential among them.

Officials may not agree with the integration of officials and gentry and even cover up these gentry, but they are not local gentry in Shandong, and the implementation of integrated government and gentry in Shandong has little impact on them.

Therefore, the real key is Kong Yinzhi's opinion.

Zhu Youxiao also looked at Kong Yinzhi. These days, his emperor has given enough face to the Holy Lord Kong Yan. In addition to worshipping Confucius, he also specially added the title of Prince of Kong Yinzhi again. At the same time, he also hinted that as long as Kong Yinzhi cooperated with the court, he could be awarded the title of royal title.

But it is obvious that this Holy Lord Kong Yan cared more about the most practical interests. He was one of the largest landlords in Qu0fu and even the entire Shandong. Letting him pay food mean that he would give the inestimable silver to the court every year.

Therefore, the Holy Lord Kong Yan did not intend to compromise. He even saw that His Majesty the Emperor did not feel anything because of his warm hospitality, but he was still levied money and grain. Kong Yinzhi began to feel disgusted with Zhu Youxiao because of this.

However, Kong Yinzhi did not refuse openly, but stood up and bowed to Yuan Keli, who was also waiting beside him, saying, "Why is Yuan Zhongcheng a loyal man who is in charge of the country, but he is not sympathetic to the people, and he is a disciple of Confucius and Mencius. Since the establishment of the tripod, the state has never collected taxes on scholars and officials. Now, Zhongcheng, you are going to break this rule. It can be seen that this will only cause your Majesty to be in trouble and will not guarantee your reputation forever."

Yuan Ke's face was as deep as water, and there was no answer.

Zhu Youxiao also felt a sense of anger in his heart. Kong Yinzhi was really a stubborn person. Although he would be unprincipled in order to protect the interests of his family, he refused to give in when it came to his family's interests.

At this time, He Zhengchao, who had served as a minister of the Taipu Temple during the Wanli period, also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of officials and gentry paying food together by Yuan Zhongcheng is absolutely not feasible. This move is undoubtedly a fight for profit with the people, just like drinking poison to quench thirst. Please ask Your Majesty to reject Yuan Zhongcheng's proposal."

Because Sun Yinzhi opposed the officials and gentry's food collection, the He family and several other large gentry opted.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Yuan Keli, and now anyone can see how much resistance the implementation of this reform is.

Since these gentry had clearly objected, Zhu Youxiao did not intend to give a good look, but said directly:

"The dynasty has accumulated a long time of malpractice and the national treasury is empty, which has led to the fact that it is impossible to support the soldiers who dare to fight. When encountering a famine, they cannot afford to provide relief. It is imperative to implement the new policy. In my opinion, Yuan Keli's officials and gentry paid food together, it is a great thing for the country and the people. Although everyone here will suffer some losses, it is nothing compared to the chaos in the world and the overthrow of the dynasty."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao ordered again: "The Governor of Shandong 000 Yuan Keli obeyed the order, and I will be promoted to the right censor of the Censorate of the Censorate to supervise Shandong's military and political affairs. You can do it cheaply. Be sure to implement the policy of collecting food into the official and gentry in Shandong!"

When Kong Yinzhi and other gentry saw that the Emperor Zhu Youxiao directly and decisively proposed to implement the implementation of the joint payment of food by officials and gentry, and ignored their opposition just now. These gentry were naturally very angry, but they did not dare to do anything to Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor Zhu Youxiao, so they could only endure it and look at Yuan Keli with fire.
