Chapter 911
Zhang Dun brought Yan Jidao to the headquarters. Along the way, Yan Jidao was trembling all over, "Brother Zihou, what are you doing? Are you going to let me go?"
"Let you go?" Zhang Dun smiled, "I said Brother Xiaoshan, there are more than a dozen lives, and there are so many unjust cases. Who dares to let you go? Letting you come over is to cut off your head!"
"Ah!" Yan Jidao's legs became weak and he sat down directly. Zhang Dun quickly grabbed his neck.
"Why are you pretending to be cowardly? Come with me!"
Yan Jidao collapsed directly, "Brother Zihou, if you want to kill someone, just kill someone, just kill him. Soldiers can be killed, not humiliated!"
Zhang Dun didn't know what to say, "Idiot, the prince is asking you to see the faces of those people. You have to be a wise ghost even if you die!"
After saying that, Zhang Dun grabbed Yan Jidao, entered the pedestal through the side door, came to the lobby, and arranged for him to sit behind the screen next to him.
When he sat down, Wang Ning'an also began to attend the church.
The first person summoned in was the governor of Xuzhou. The man was named Song Minqiu. He was born in Hanlin and started his career with literature. He once compiled the Tang Book and also compiled the "Collection of the Great Imperials of the Tang Dynasty" and "Chang'an Zhi". He was moved to the direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion, to practice daily notes and to regulate imperial edicts.
Just looking at his qualifications, if nothing unexpected happens, he can be promoted to the throne. By staying up with the years, he can even climb to the high position of prime minister. There are many priests who started with literature.
However, as the reform began, the court of the Song Dynasty changed the rules. Those who had no real skills could not sit still. Song Minqiu was kicked out of the capital five years ago and was the magistrate of Xuzhou Prefecture as a bachelor of Longtu Pavilion.
Although he lost the opportunity to rule over the world, Song Minqiu was still very arrogant. Even when facing Wang Ning'an, he did not have much custody. In his eyes, you are just a sudden noble boy, and you are even worse than me!
He just bowed and exchanged a few greetings, and sat directly next to Wang Ning'an, not at all polite.
"Mr. Song, this is not your seat, your location is there!"
Wang Ning'an pointed to the trunk in the middle of the lobby, and Song Minqiu was immediately dissatisfied. Don't go too far. Even if I go to the Golden Palace, I will have a seat!
It’s so damn if you let me sit in the prisoner’s position!
Song Minqiu stood up, his face gloomy and he was not convinced at all.
"Mr. Song, if you have such a big case under your rule, are you not at all wrong as the prefect?"
Song Minqiu squeezed out a smile, "Okay, since the prince said that, then the official is willing to admit his guilt, please ask the prince to deal with it!" After that, he actually turned around and wanted to leave.
"Stop!" Wang Ning'an slapped the table suddenly, "Mr. Song, I came here with an imperial edict. Officials under the third rank can be executed first and then report!"
Song Minqiu felt trembling. Unfortunately, he happened to be the third-ranked one!
This Song Master was so angry that he calmed down for a long time. He went straight to the chair and sat down.
"Since the prince has found that the prince is guilty, the prince has nothing to say. Just ask!"
Yan Jidao was frowning behind the screen. He actually admired Song Minqiu very much. He was very knowledgeable and liked to support the poor, especially because he liked to collect books.
Yan Jidao bought a lot of rare ancient books from him. It is really unfair to treat such a respected old minister like this.
Yan Jidao thought to himself, but did not dare to speak out. He only heard Wang Ning'an continue to ask... "Mr. Song, the imperial court ordered the land acquisition, and it was supposed to be the local officials. Why didn't you participate in it personally, but handed it over to the promoter Yan Jidao? Why is that?"
Song Minqiu was stunned for a moment and said in a muffled voice: "I am in poor health and older, so I can't do it. Yan Jidao is young and strong, so it's just right for him to do it."
"What happened after the accident, there were so many people killed in several villages. When did you know about it?"
"I learned about it half a month ago. After I found out, I immediately wrote a letter to the court and imprisoned Yan Jidao, waiting for the court to give up, and the prince came."
Wang Ning'an smiled faintly, "So, you, Lord Song, don't know from beginning to end, it's all done by Yan Jidao?"
Song Minqiu raised his eyebrows, "If the prince thinks that I am suspected of dereliction of duty, I am willing to take the crime!"
"Is it just a dereliction of duty?" Wang Ning'an raised his voice octave.
Song Minqiu gritted his teeth, "I have no choice but to be punished if I want to add a crime. If the prince wants to open up for Yan Jidao and put the blame on me, I have nothing to say!"
"Okay, it's a piece of hob meat!"
Wang Ning'an chuckled twice, "Song Minqiu, the court rules that for this land acquisition, the replacement method should be given priority, supplemented by economic compensation. Why is there no land for Xuzhou to be replaced? Could it be that Yan Jidao is responsible for this matter?"
Song Minqiu frowned, "Prince, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with the entire case, right?"
"Haha." Wang Ning'an smiled faintly, "Mr. Song, you have been in the officialdom for decades. You have pushed such a big thing to do, and then pretended to be no guilty. Where did you read your sage book?" Wang Ning'an's roar seemed to be thunder. Even Yan Jidao behind the screen was startled and almost fell down.
Song Minqiu looked solemn and lowered his head, "What the prince means is that I have to bear the teachings of the saints? Well, this official is not willing to be a long time ago. You just dismiss me!"
“Not that cheap!”
Wang Ning'an grabbed the file on the table and smashed it hard at Song Minqiu.
"You open your eyes and take a good look! In recent years, the court has implemented the Qingmiao Law and the Fangtian equal tax law. You have no movement here... Reform education, implement equal land and land, and do not act, move to the powerful, seize land and build roads, and you still recommend it to others... Song Minqiu, the court's decades of salary is just a rice worm that eats rice? You don't feel embarrassed, I am still embarrassing for you!"
These few words have touched Song Minqiu's weakness.
He also stood up suddenly.
"King of Xiliang, since I became a Jinshi, I became an official in the court, and I have studied books and history. I worked diligently and worked hard. The scholars are obvious to all. It is not considered a corpse position and a simple meal. The laws you mentioned are all life-threatening, so I will certainly not implement them."
Wang Ning'an smiled, "Song Minqiu, do you dare to say that you just didn't execute it? There is nothing wrong with doing anything or corruption or abuse of power?"
Song Minqiu looked up at the sky behind his hands and sneered: "I have a clear conscience all my life, how can I care about villains causing harm!"
Not to mention, it's quite bone-like.
Wang Ning'an snorted, "Okay, take Lord Song aside first."
Song Minqiu was also stunned. Unexpectedly, Wang Ning'an would stop. He thought this kid would pursue him relentlessly and take him down in the name of not cooperating with the reform!
If that's the case, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, he is old, and opposing reform is not a death sentence. Moreover, after returning home, he may be treated as a hero! It’s just that Wang Ning'an’s routine made him unable to see it, and he couldn’t help but feel panic.
The guards on both sides took him to the ear room beside him without saying a word.
Wang Ning'an paused for a moment and asked someone to continue to take the two squad leaders. These two guys were ordered by Yan Jidao to requisition the land, but ended up killing people.
"Kneel down!"
The two of them lay obediently on the lobby, like two big toads in a mess.
"Who gave you the order to seek land?"
"Yes, it's Lord Yan!"
Wang Ning'an said again: "You have been there a few times, but you communicated with the people, why did someone die in the end?"
The thinner guy said, "I went there three times... three times. The first time I told the people, I thought about it for a few days. The second time I went there was a negotiation. They all agreed to get twice the compensation... The third time, these troublemakers were willing to take money. Not only did they not hand over the land, but they also robbed them and robbed them all. They forced them to force them to go there... Master! It's not that the people were killed, but that our people were also dead! The court must not be unreasonable!"
"that is!"
Another said: "The lives of small people are valuable, but the lives of our servants are not valuable. Don't forget who serves the court. If the court is so ruthless and ungrateful and ignores its own people, the brothers will be heartbroken!"
Wang Ning'an smiled, "What you said makes sense, then I'll let you see what this is."
As he said that, someone brought up a box and placed it in front of two people. When he expanded it, he saw that it was filled with iron coins, many of which were rusted and rotten and could not be used.
"Did Yan Jidao ask you to use such money to compensate the people?"
The Song Dynasty did pass through iron coins, but as Yunnan copper entered Beijing, iron coins were abolished. Later, gold and silver were in full swing, and the use of copper coins was reduced.
Now, the best-quality iron coins on the market are only worth half the price of copper coins.
In other words, paying with iron coins, the so-called double preferential treatment does not exist at all. In addition, using rotten iron coins is even more a scam!
Can the people agree?
Yan Jidao, who was behind the screen, opened his mouth wide and almost screamed. He hurriedly stuffed his fist into his mouth, but he didn't make a sound. He was filled with horror and stared at Zhang Dun beside him... The eyes were clear, why are you so powerful and you found it out in a moment?
Zhang Dun sneered secretly, this kind of technique is useless. If you are willing to go to the folk, listen, instead of singing the wind and playing the moon all day long, you will not be played with and applauded by your subordinates!
Yan Jidao thought something and was finally moved.
At this time, Wang Ning'an continued to ask, "The court allocated the land acquisition funds, which were used for special purposes. Who gave you the courage to use iron money to fool the people? Say!"
The two guys looked at me, and I looked at you, and said in unison: "It's Lord Yan, it's Lord Yan who asked the villain to do it!"
"Yeah?"
"Yes, it's just him who asked us to do it, otherwise the young people would have the courage?"
Yan Jidao almost bleeded, when will I let you do it?
He was about to rush out to argue, but Wang Ning'an continued to ask: "Yan Jidao is just a prisoner. The allocation of funds is not within his authority. I can check the records of the outbound warehouse immediately to see what the money is going on!"
The two guys finally sweated, and the paper could not be kept popular!
Wang Ning'an continued: "Are you talking now, or are you going to investigate? You are also old people in the yamen, protecting serious criminals and interfering with the case. What is the crime? Don't you need to say more?"
Chapter completed!
