Peach Blossom Song
Chapter 60
Ji Wen and the county guard went to jail together.
The people in the county are in a state of panic, and all officials, big and small, are in danger. Whether they choose to take people or take them into custody, His Highness the King of Han uses his own soldiers, and everyone wants to inquire, but they cannot enter.
The king of Han slept peacefully, and early the next morning, he personally brought people to search for the prefect's mansion.
The concubine said that Ji Wen had plundered the people's wealth for several months, which was several times that of a year's tax, and it must have been recorded in the book.If you want to keep officials big and small from speaking out, you must share the spoils with them and seal the mouths of everyone.In this way, Ji Wen has a directory and an account book.As long as you find the directory and account books, the case will be clear at a glance, and the officials involved in the case can be caught in one go.
The county guard's mansion is in the middle of the city, and there are countless pedestrians.
The King of Han wore a wide-sleeved robe and a long crown, and rode on a big horse, majestic and majestic.When I arrived outside the Sheriff's Mansion, I saw many people looking around here.Among these people were those in bright clothes and those in rags, merchants and peddlers, officials and prefects, and servant boys from unknown families, who either panicked or excitedly visited.
The prosperity and peace I saw when I entered the city the day before yesterday disappeared like flowers in a mirror and the moon in water overnight.
The King of Han only glanced at him, but he didn't let anyone drive away the idlers. He got off his horse and led the people to the mansion.
All the servants and maidservants in the mansion were detained in a courtyard. When the King of Han arrived, Li Sheren was interrogating him.
The servant girl trembled in fear all night, she was already afraid, and she huddled in one place in fear.
A servant girl who served the wife of the sheriff was stuttering and said: "Madam said, Mr. Ji is a member of His Highness the King of Han, and everyone from the mansion to the small official should be ordered by him. The servant girl really doesn't know about the exploitation. .That's the business of the yamen, the servant girl serves the wife in the backyard, I don't know how many of them."
Wherever Ji Wen went, he used the name of the King of Han, and thanks to his ability, everyone believed him.
The king of Han's face sank when he heard this, Li Sheren saw this and hurriedly ordered another person to answer.
I asked a few people in a row, and all they said were bits and pieces, which were not of much use.
The king of Han directly searched people, and there is always a place to store the stolen money.They also sent people to search for records and accounts at the county guard and Ji Wen's residence.Lu Shangshu frowned when he heard this. Before he was convicted, he didn't even have any evidence. It would be radical to arrest people first and then ransack the house.
The king of Han is not afraid at all, it doesn't matter if she is domineering, anyway, there is a princess, if something happens, the princess will save her.He also thought that not everyone has a concubine, so Lu Shangshu did not have a concubine, and no one would save him if something happened.The King of Han looked sympathetically at Lu Shangshu who had no concubine, and said very caringly: "If someone comes back to the capital to impeach, Lu Qing can just push it on me. I'm not afraid to participate."
Lu Shangshu's face was blurred by the sympathetic eyes of the King of Han, and he didn't know where to make His Highness feel sympathetic.It's just that His Highness's words have come to this point, but it's not easy to persuade him anymore.
After searching all morning, the directory and account books were missing, but the stolen money was found in the treasury.
A huge amount of 10 taels of silver was grandly placed in the treasury.The king of Han also took down the small official guarding the granary and asked him to explain the source of the money.The little official couldn't tell why.
The king of Han simply captured all the officials in the county, imprisoned them together, and ordered them to be interrogated separately.
In one day, all the officials, big and small, of Dongcheng County were imprisoned. The movement was so big that the whole city focused on it. It must have been spread by word of mouth within two days.
Except for the stolen goods, no one else was found, and the King of Han was not discouraged, and happily returned to the county office at night.
The concubine came out from the inner room, and seeing the King of Han came back, she smiled and said, "Your Highness is very majestic today."
The King of Han said happily: "Now everyone knows that what Ji Wen did was not based on my orders."
She doesn't care about her reputation. She didn't pay much attention to what she was called incompetent in the past, but she cared especially about how an old man and a thin, yellow-faced child in the small mountain village treated her.
Also noticed that the princess had changed her clothes, not the one she wore in the morning, she couldn't help being surprised: "Ayao, have you gone out?"
The princess nodded and took off the long crown for the King of Han.The King of Han bowed his head, took off his long crown, and asked, "Where did you go?"
"In prison." The princess replied.
The King of Han's eyes lit up, he walked to the side of the princess, reached out and hugged her arm: "Have you interrogated Ji Wen?"
The princess looked at her and smiled without saying a word.
The king of Han put his whole body on the concubine. Ji Wen knew that his crime was unforgivable, so he refused to plead guilty.Lu Shangshu is the chief officer of the Ministry of Punishment, and he has some housekeeping skills in interrogating prisoners. He really asked him to ask two, but they were both petty officials, who only knew a little bit, and couldn't explain why.
The king of Han originally planned to re-trial tomorrow, but the princess has been there, so there must be a result.
She was not in a hurry to know the result, but was curious about how the princess was interrogated, and pestered the princess to know.
The concubine couldn't get her entangled, so she had to say: "Desperate."
The King of Han was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what soul-stirring meant, he only guessed that it was a kind of spell, and asked again: "How to capture souls?"
The princess then described to her what dementia is and how it is.
The King of Han was stunned for a while, before exclaiming: "It's amazing."
The concubine paid attention to her expression, saw that she was only admiring and admiring, and had no fear or fear, so she couldn't help but patted her head as a reward.His Highness used to be so afraid of monsters, just hearing people talk about ghosts and ghosts at night would be too frightened to make a sound, lest the monsters would come out of the story and catch her.But now, listening to her describe the so-called demon method in detail, I am not afraid anymore.
The king of Han was touched on the head, and he didn't know that it was the concubine who rewarded her, so he was still very satisfied.She rubbed against the princess and refused to leave, complaining to the princess: "Ji Wen told people everywhere that he was instructed by me."
The concubine comforted: "It's really bad, Your Highness will definitely bring him to justice."
The king of Han was greatly comforted and asked the concubine to hug him.
The concubine agreed to her one by one, the king of Han was delighted, the concubine was very good, every day was good, but today was especially good.She tilted her body and lay her pillow on the princess's lap, listening to what she asked from Ji Wen.
Seeing that the stolen goods were found, Lu Shangshu was very relieved.In the end, I have gained something, and when I return to the court in the future, if there is a minister who impeaches His Highness and does not hide his merits, His Majesty can also pardon the King of Han without concealing his flaws.
Unexpectedly, the next day, the king of Han ordered people to go to the guest house to arrest people.
Lu Shangshu felt that his heart was broken. He thought that he came to the second county for this reason. He was called the deputy envoy, but he was actually the person in charge. His Highness the King of Han had never received any errands, so he was the one who consulted him on everything.Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness is very assertive and acts very domineeringly.
It is reasonable to arrest the culprit, but it is a crime to disturb the people.
Lu Shangshu hurried to the inn, and saw that the periphery of the inn was full of people, pointing and watching.In front of the door of the guest house stood two groups of royal guards, the king of Han came out of them, and two soldiers behind him escorted a man out.
The man was probably in his forties, with shrewd eyes, he had probably just made a fuss, but at this moment, a cloth was stuffed in his mouth, unable to speak, staring at the King of Han with rounded eyes.
"This is Your Highness?" Lu Shangshu asked.
The King of Han replied: "Ji Wen's confidant."
Lu Shangshu was horrified: "How does Your Highness know?" He was there for the arrest and interrogation yesterday, and what the King of Han knew, he also heard and saw, but he never heard that Ji Wen had a confidant hiding in the city.
It was A Yao who told her.The king of Han was proud and proud, but it was a pity that he could not speak to others.Just imitating His Majesty's inscrutable appearance, smiled slightly with Lu Shangshu, and brought the confidant to interrogate.
Lu Shangshu was amazed, he felt very strange, and followed all the way, watching with his own eyes the king of Han searched out the directory and account books from his confidants.
This is ironclad evidence, Ji Wen can't deny it any more, and with this list, no accomplice can escape.Not only Dongcheng County, but also Dong'an County, the King of Han sent people to Dong'an County to arrest all the officials involved in the case.
Officials, big and small, arrested one group after another, until the common people believed that His Highness the King of Han was really here to investigate Ji Wen, and everyone praised the King of Han for being wise.
Now that the evidence has been obtained and the criminals have been arrested, the next step is interrogation and recording of confessions.Lu Shangshu is shrewd and sophisticated, and he is a capable person here. The King of Han followed him for two days and realized that he could not help, so he did not go.
She remembered that small mountain village in her heart.That day the old man said that there was no food for two days, and she left some money, which should be able to relieve the urgent need, but what about the other people in the village?It's not just this village, the rest of the people in the county are also like this, I'm afraid they are still hungry.
The money that Ji Wen exploited from the people must be returned to the people, otherwise how would the people live?
She discussed with Lu Shangshu and decided to split up. Lu Shangshu continued to interrogate the criminals, and she went to appease the people.
Dongcheng County is quite large, and it is impossible to go everywhere. Most of the county magistrates have arrested them, and there is no one in charge. The King of Han simply went from county to county. Every time he went to a county, he invited the local Lizheng elders to come. , According to Ji Wen's account book, return the money to them, and they will distribute it to their respective people.So there will be no chaos.
The King of Han was very patient, and she didn't bother with trivial matters. Many of the elders in Lizheng had never even seen the county guard, let alone the high-ranking prince. , she spoke in a good voice and never put on airs.
If you don't understand something, ask Li Sheren. Although Li Sheren is a small staff member in the palace, he is very proficient in government affairs, and he is even more skilled in human relations.Everything, big and small, was handled properly.
The King of Han felt that such a great talent would be buried in her residence.
Fumin was raised from a remote county. He could go to two or three places a day non-stop. When he arrived at the last place, the king of Han asked him to divide the money and asked about the local details. How are the people doing? , Is there any exorbitant taxes?
Li Zheng answered one by one, the King of Han kept it in mind, and she made people write down all the bad things, and reported them to His Majesty when she returned to Beijing. She couldn't decide many things, but His Majesty could.
She was young and good-looking, with delicate features and clear skin, the elders saw that she was not putting on airs, so they gradually let go and dared to say a few words to her.
But there was one man who kept his head down, wishing to drown himself in the crowd. The King of Han looked at him curiously. The man blushed with shame, knelt down on the ground, and said he was guilty.
It was the man who stayed in that family that day.
The King of Han would not care about him, it was Ji Wen who ruined her reputation, what would the common people know?Just clarify.
The man was still ashamed and said that he wanted to be the Hanwang Lisheng Temple.
The rest of Lizheng agreed.
The King of Han's heart was moved. She had heard that an upright official, when he left office, the people would set up a lifetime shrine or a stele of virtue and government for him in gratitude. She knew that there was a great minister in the previous dynasty. There are still temples dedicated to his image.
This is a great merit, and it will last forever.
The king of Han thought that only sages, immortals, and Buddhas can receive incense from others. If the princess is also worshiped, will it be able to add countless merits?Everyone in the common people said that she is good, and the way of heaven knows her, and she will definitely help the princess to become a fairy.
She hurriedly said seriously: "I am still young, and I don't know the sufferings of the people. Thanks to the concubine, I can be anxious about the people's needs. Before leaving Beijing, the concubine asked me to live a good life and plead for the people. Thank you, no need Just thank me, Princess Xie."
Li Sheren was surprised to hear that since ancient times, most of the credit for the king was given to his subordinates in order to win people's hearts, but he had never heard of the credit being given to his wife.
Li Zheng also had some knowledge. Since he thought the same way as Li Sheren, it could be seen that the King of Han was serious and serious, so he couldn't help but believe it. Moreover, the King of Han had no reason to deceive them.They have personally experienced the pain of being without food, and they are extremely grateful to whoever relieved them of their crisis.Hearing the words of the King of Han, I deeply feel that the Princess of Han is actually a rare woman in this world, she is intelligent and kind-hearted, and she benefits all people.
The people in the county are in a state of panic, and all officials, big and small, are in danger. Whether they choose to take people or take them into custody, His Highness the King of Han uses his own soldiers, and everyone wants to inquire, but they cannot enter.
The king of Han slept peacefully, and early the next morning, he personally brought people to search for the prefect's mansion.
