Chapter 664 A Big Event in the Making

Without Yang Ke in charge, almost no one would cover up the things he and his subordinates did in the past. In a few days, it was difficult to clean up. Many people who went bankrupt because of the gambling shop went to sue, and many people who were bullied also went to sue. , In normal times, they would not dare to give them a hundred guts, but now they dare.

This is momentum.

Yang Ke's arrest is a signal that the common people don't know about the struggle at the upper echelon, and they don't know what's wrong with it. They only believe what they see in their eyes, that is, Yang Ke, a direct descendant of the dignified Yang family, was actually arrested. The city is full of wind and rain, what does this mean?
The Yang family has lost power, plus there are people taking the lead, this person is afraid of having a leader when doing things, or why is it said that the role of the leader is the most important, because it can guide more people to do things.

The same goes for complaints.

It's not that no one doesn't want to sue, it's just that no one dares, but if there is a trend, ten or eight people go, how can the remaining two people sit still.

So, what was originally a small matter that was not worth mentioning in the eyes of senior officials, and something that would not even be taken seriously, turned out to be slowly brewing and became a major event.

After the people above knew it, the situation was out of control.

Even in the end, not only Yang Ke, the Yang family, as a big family, has many wings. Over the years, there have been too many things that have been done with the help of the Yang family, and too many people have been bullied, but because of fear, they feel alone and helpless , dare not sue the officials, or even sue the officials, and there is no result.

Over time, there are more than a dozen in a year, and there will be hundreds of them in ten years.

It exploded all of a sudden, and all the spearheads were directed at the Yang family. It can be said that the biggest one these days is the Jingzhou magistrate. In Jingzhou, any official is bigger than this magistrate, and no one can afford to provoke him. So I have always kept my head down and acted in a low-key manner. It is conceivable that I have suffered a lot over the years.

This time, so many people came to sue suddenly, at first it really frightened the magistrate, because almost all the people who came here to sue were aimed at the Yang family.

Some directly sued Yang Ke, and some targeted some of the Yang family's wings and offshoots. In short, they were all against the Yang family.

An official is naturally more politically sensitive than ordinary people. The first reaction of this government official is that there is a big move from above. Who doesn't know that the current situation of the Holy Dynasty is the critical moment of the transition from the old to the new. Grand Master Lu Yan It is necessary to resign from office and practice, to hit a higher level, and not only Grand Master Lu Yan, but many high-ranking officials in the Holy Dynasty are already old. Under the immortals, 150 years old is considered an advanced age. When you are old, you should go back to take care of yourself.

Being an official in the Holy Dynasty doesn't mean staying there for a long time. Generally, when you reach the age, you have to step down and wait for the younger generation to fill in. This is also the rule set by the emperor Taizong.Just like Taizong's holy ancestor, the Wuji Jinxian's cultivation base can reach 3000 years, isn't it also leaving after 300 years in charge of the holy dynasty? Taizong is like this, and no subsequent officials dare to violate it. Generally, when the time limit is reached, they will abdicate Let Xian.

Therefore, this time, the high-level replacement of the Holy Dynasty is not limited to Taishi Lu Yan alone, but Da Situ, Da Sima and others have also entered the Shoufu Pavilion for more than 200 years, some even longer than Taishi Lu Yan. It's time for these high-ranking officials to come down, so the competition is extremely fierce now. Everyone knows that the current officialdom of the Holy Dynasty is full of turmoil, and ordinary small officials can only tremble under this storm, act carefully, and try not to cause trouble, but Don't cause trouble, if something happens, you can't even push it out.

The official status of the Jingzhou government order is not considered low, and it is also from the fifth rank. The official rank alone has been compared with the long histories of other states, and even higher in power.

But if Chang Shi was placed in Jingzhou, it would be nothing.

In Jingzhou, the fifth rank is only the standard for just being able to participate in the court meeting, not even the qualification to participate in the upper-level games. Maybe the above sentence will lose his official position as an official.

Now that so many people came to complain, there was a feeling that everyone was overwhelmed by the wall. The keen government official noticed something was wrong, and he felt that this must be the result of the game of the upper class.

Now all the conditions point to the Yang family, which is too obvious.The question now is, what should I do?

Because of his special official position, the Jingzhou government order is from the Xiao family and the Yang family. After all, this is an important place in Jingzhou, and the higher-ups will not allow it. If he really takes refuge in one side, his government order may not last long. up.

That's why he was in trouble.

At first, he could drag, press, and stall for time, but there were too many people coming, and he couldn't hold back anymore.

Not only the government order, but also the officials in the city mansion have been walking on ice these days, and their voices when talking and walking are much lower on weekdays.

In the study room, the Jingzhou government magistrate looked sad, and next to him was the clerk.

"My lord, delaying this matter is probably not an option. Just today, more than a dozen people came to complain. In addition to the previous ones, there are already hundreds of people. Now the whole Jingzhou is full of gossip. If it continues, I'm afraid something big will happen." The clerk looked worried.

If something happened to the city government, he would not benefit.

"Do you think this official wants to procrastinate?" The government official said with a helpless face, "I tell you, if these matters are not handled properly, I, as an official, will be at the top. Hey, the higher-ups are playing games and fighting for power and profit, so why bother to embarrass us lower down. "

The clerk thought for a while, and then said: "My lord, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

The government order said: "But it doesn't matter."

The clerk said: "I think this matter is complicated, but it's not particularly troublesome. Think about it, my lord, since we know it's a game between the upper class, then we can't sit still and do nothing. If we really don't do anything, then It's troublesome. Now that the matter has been found, I don't think there is any need to be afraid. As officials of the Holy Dynasty, we only need to act according to the law and have a clear conscience. This is the most important thing. Who can say that we are wrong then? ?”

The clerk's words were just a word to wake up the dreamer, the government order thought about it carefully, and nodded again and again.

"Yes, yes, you are right. This matter does involve games and struggles at the upper levels, but so what. As the magistrate of Jingzhou, I just need to act impartially. If I do nothing, I will fall behind." If the population is real, it will even cause trouble. Let's go, let's go to court and deal with the case."

Here, the Jingzhou government order has figured it out. Since the trouble has come and cannot be avoided, then do whatever you want, strictly follow the laws of the Holy Dynasty, so what can the Yang family do? Hajj law?

Therefore, this government order dealt with it day and night, and actually cleared up many keys for trial in a short period of time, and wrote them into the file one by one. For the perpetrators, who should be arrested and sentenced, of course he will report these files in time , That is to say, I am handling official business, and he is not involved in other disputes, and he is not qualified to participate.

Doing these things, the Jingzhou government magistrate was also sweating in his heart. He was afraid that people from the Yang family would interfere or even treat him, but the things he was worried about did not happen.

After thinking about it later, I knew what was going on. The current Yang family dared to act recklessly. If they really used power to suppress people, then the matter would be even bigger.

……

How can the upper echelons of the Holy Dynasty not understand the truth that Jingzhou government officials understand, and how can Yang Zhenqing not know?

In fact, when the incident broke out, he had already got the news. After Yang Zhenqing knew about it, he knew it was broken. If Yang Ke's incident before was an introduction, and he could still find a way to suppress it, then now it arouses public anger. , There are hundreds of cases against the Yang family, this matter is a bit big.

Indeed, among the elites in Jingzhou, who has never done the thing of oppressing people with power, there are people who have offended people, and many people have done it by using power to make money. As long as it is not too much, everyone will turn a blind eye and close one eye. This is regarded as the unspoken rule of the officialdom, no one will break it, and no one will make a fuss about this kind of thing, otherwise, it is really an enemy of the entire officialdom, no matter whether he is a high-ranking official like Xiao Yu, he will not do it.

But this time, it wasn't someone making a fuss about it, but because of Yang Ke's arrest and the related effects.

This is unexpected, even Yang Zhenqing did not expect the matter to develop to this point, and now this matter has affected him, Grand Master Lu Yan is already dissatisfied with him.

Although grand master Lu Yan didn't say it clearly, Yang Zhenqing could tell that if he didn't ask, he was the biggest dissatisfaction. If he asked, it would be easier to talk, because if he asked, it meant that he wanted to hear his own explanation. If he didn't ask, he didn't even want to explain listened.

This is very bad.

The most troublesome thing is that this matter is not caused by the opponent secretly, it means that he has suffered such a big loss for no reason. One can imagine the depression in Yang Zhenqing's heart.

At present, the change of officials in the holy dynasty has reached the most critical time. If such a serious mistake occurs at this time, it will already affect the situation on his side.

However, Yang Zhenqing is not a fuel-efficient lamp. It is obviously impossible for him to become one of the best immortal officials in the Holy Dynasty without two brushes.

Although the current situation is chaotic, it is not that there is no way to solve it. It depends on whether you are willing to pay a certain price for it.

With Yang Zhenqing's status, he can afford some costs.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhenqing immediately summoned his subordinates, made arrangements and instructions, first made a gesture, sincerely apologized, and even rectified the Yang family, restraining the wings of the tribe, and this was obviously only the first step, and this step was not wise. , the really clever thing is Yang Zhenqing's next step.

He actually initiated the rectification of Jingzhou. All the children of officials are not allowed to do business. This alone can set off a bloody storm in Jingzhou.

The news spread quickly. Yang Zhenqing was not joking this time. He made a good gesture. He actually used the momentum of the common people to hate the official's children for taking advantage of the situation to add a touch of color to his official career. .
