The life of a man on the road of film and television
Chapter 239 Ruyi 36
The minister-in-charge stationed in Guzhou was originally a very useful official under Ortai. He was sent here to manage when Ortai was the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.
However, because Ortai was transferred back to Beijing ten years later, the new governor who was transferred here had some conflicts with Ortai, which made it inevitable that he would be a bit of an eyesore as an official here.
In addition, after Ortai returned to Beijing, due to the transfers abroad in recent years, there were not many ministers belonging to his faction in Beijing. So in order to help Ortai and for his own sake, he also began to think of ways to transfer back to the capital.
As for Guzhou, he didn't need to worry much. There was a governor in Qian Province and the rule of law was already established.
As long as the next official stationed in Guzhou is not a fool and behaves himself, there will be no problem in waiting for the handover again in three years. Of course, it would be even better if an official who can get real work comes.
But some things always come true as you fear them. This time, the Miao people in Guzhou not only failed to wait for a good official, but also lived a life worse than death because of the arrival of Zheng Yanfu.
"More than 500,000 taels of silver! Zheng Yanfu alone embezzled a lot of it in just one and a half years."
Lowering the hand holding the confession, the murderous anger in Yin Qi's eyes was about to solidify into reality, and the other hand grabbing the edge of the bed crushed the wood into pieces.
"Not only that, the funds allocated to Guzhou in the past two years amounted to 300,000 taels a year, and the taxes collected in one county amounted to more than 30,000 taels. The counties in Guzhou together collected almost 300,000 taels. According to Zheng Yanfu's confession, several nearby states were also involved."
In the next room, Jinzhong heard Yinqi's murmurs, wiped the blood off his face, and communicated with Yinqi in his heart.
He had just teamed up with Guizhou Governor Yuan Zhancheng, who had rushed over from Guiyang after taking two days, and Admiral Ha Yuanshengling and others to capture the corrupt officials in Guzhou and finished the interrogation.
Interrogation inevitably involves torture, especially when dealing with a guilty person like this. Jinzhong never stopped when torturing, so it is inevitable that there will be some dirt on his body.
At first, when Yuan Zhancheng and his companions saw Jinzhong, a half-grown child, getting involved, they were afraid that he would be frightened by seeing such a cruel scene.
But when they saw Jinzhong's methods, they shuddered and their first thought was to stay away from Jinzhong, who was covered in blood but had a smile on his face. They silently thought in their hearts that this man was really scary.
After hearing the voice transmission, Yin Qi closed his eyes in depression, thinking about what was written in the testimony, that Zheng Yanfu was still addicted to gambling and did not care about things after coming to Guzhou. Seeing that he was like this, his officials also began to make money crazily.
This is just the embezzlement of money, and it does not include the crimes of bullying men and women, robbery and robbery. It is impossible to investigate the number of Miao people who died at the hands of these scums.
No wonder the Miao people later rebelled because they could not bear the suffering. Even though there were people who were against the Qing Dynasty and wanted to restore the Ming Dynasty and incited them, the ultimate cause was still here. After all, no one could survive in such a purgatory.
"These people are so hateful. It would be too easy for them to be executed directly."
Although he said that, Yin Qi knew in his heart that if he didn't do this, there would be no other consequences. Those innocent people who died would never come back.
Even a cold-hearted person like Jinzhong couldn't help but sigh when seeing such a result.
"At least now Guzhou is stable, and there won't be another rebellion that would cause more than a dozen cities to fall into unrest."
I hope so. Yinqi thought of the fact that the Miao people had revolted during the tenure of successive Qing emperors. He sighed, leaned back and collapsed on the bed.
“It would be great if there were no corrupt officials.”
Jinzhong did not answer this question this time. After all, this was impossible. He knew it in his heart, and Yinqi also knew it.
The air suddenly became quiet. After Jinzhong cleaned himself up, he came to Yinqi and touched Yinqi's head.
"When water is too clear, there are no fish. This has been the way of survival since ancient times."
"yes"
At the gate of Guzhou city.
It was already the tenth day after Yinqi and the others arrived in Guzhou. Not far away, a group of carriages and horses were heading here. It was Hongli, Hongzhou and the others who were a step behind the others and finally arrived.
The tired group of people, whether riding horses or driving carriages, had already felt sore all over from the long journey.
They originally thought that they could finally take a break when they arrived at the destination.
But when they arrived at the city gate, they saw a group of people waiting for them there, and looking carefully, they saw that the one leading them was none other than His Royal Highness the Prince.
When Yin Qi saw them looking over there, he waved at them with a smile.
Upon seeing this, everyone tightened their horses' stomachs and sped up to get closer. When they arrived in front of Yinqi, before everyone dismounted to salute, Jinzhong beside Yinqi took out a smaller roll of imperial edict from his sleeve.
Everyone was stunned by this sudden accident, but their subconscious reaction after seeing the imperial edict was to kneel down and salute.
Hong Zhou was startled by this sudden "surprise", and he felt as if he had seen his royal father. His legs went limp as soon as he got off the horse, and he fell to his knees.
Seeing Hong Zhou in such a miserable state, Hong Li, who was unable to bear to watch, pursed his lips helplessly and knelt down as well.
After everyone knelt down, Jinzhong opened the imperial edict and began to read it. The imperial edict was not long. After all, it was brought back by Peregrine Falcon. If it was too long and heavy, he would not be able to lift it.
After reading the imperial edict, Jinzhong stuffed the edict in his hand into the arms of Hongli, who was still in a daze, and turned around to mount his horse and leave with Yinqi.
"Hey! Wait, Uncle Yu Wang, Uncle Zhong Tang, wait a minute!"
Seeing the two men getting on their horses and about to leave, Hongli and the others finally reacted from their shock. Hongli didn't care about anything else and quickly stood up to stop the two men's horses.
Yin Qi, who was stopped and failed to run, smacked his lips regretfully, thinking that he came to his senses quite quickly.
"What are you doing! It's so dangerous! What if I step on you!"
"..."
As Hongli said this, Hongzhou, who was following behind him and rubbing his knees, took advantage of Hongli's back facing him, grinned and started laughing silently.
Hongli, who was being talked about, felt a little aggrieved. Although he was not as tall as his 13-year-old uncle Zhong, Hongli looked down and saw that although he was not six feet tall, he was at least five feet and seven points tall.
It would be difficult to think that someone would step over me. (Three feet equals one meter in the Qing Dynasty)
But now was obviously not the time to argue with Yinqi. Hongli put on a flattering smile, walked over to Yinqi, pulled the hem of Yinqi's clothes, and whispered.
"Uncle, dear uncle, what's going on? We are here for inspection, why did it suddenly become a temporary garrison?"
When Hongli thought about the imperial edict he had just heard, which said that he had to stay here until the new minister arrived before he could return to the capital, he felt overwhelmed.
