Chapter 225

On that day, Fucheng was lively all day long.

People who have nothing to do follow one team after another. Unfortunately, they only have two legs, so they don't see the excitement in many places. It's really annoying!
I had no choice but to keep asking others what fun things happened to the team you were following.

At the home of Fang Tongzhi, who manages the grain depot, his mother and wife have been scolding for a long time: "You gangsters, leave my house quickly, trust me and sue you."

Fang Tongzhi's mother, Mrs. Chen, is a shrew, and his wife, Mrs. Wang, is usually domineering and domineering.

Today the new prefect sent so many people to their house to take away the food, saying it was from the government office.

That's okay, how could the things in my house belong to the city government?Is there any law of the king or the law of heaven, even if you are the prefect, so what, this is our house and no one can touch it.

As the supervisor, Fang Tongzhi was greedy for the most food. He originally planned to sell it all, but the price had already been negotiated, and he was about to sell it. Who knew that Li Mo would sell it so quickly.

There was too much food, so Fang Tongzhi kept some at home and some in other places.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law scolded the shrew for a long time, but the guard didn't respond, and didn't even give them a look, except that the action of pulling away the food remained the same.

Chen Shi and Wang Shi, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's complexion can be said to be very stinky, they dragged a few children and concubines, blocked the door, refused to give way to death, and stared at the guards with hatred!
Song Min looked at them coldly: "I'll say it again, are you going to get out of the way? Be careful, I'll be rough."

Chen put her hands on her hips and exhaled fragrance: "Little brat, aren't you very arrogant, you have the ability to step over the old woman."

Song Min's face darkened: "Don't think that you are an old man, I dare not beat you."

Mrs. Chen spit out a mouthful of water, but fortunately Song Min was quick, otherwise she would have vomited all over her body. When she encountered such an old man, and an old man again, Song Min was a little helpless.

Mrs. Chen glared: "It is a big joke to say that my son took away the food from the government office. What evidence do you have to prove that it is from the government office? Take it out. Do you see that we are small and easy to bully? Let me tell you, we are not afraid, there are people in our governor's office, let's wait and see."

The melon-eating crowd who have heard the news have already grabbed a handful of melon seeds in their hands at some point, and watching the excitement must be accompanied by melon seeds to be enjoyable.

It is said that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. With a mother like Mrs. Chen, one can imagine what kind of person Fang Tongzhi is!

Song Min was a man, so he was embarrassed to do anything to the two women, but Lin Ling didn't care, he took out his whip and said fiercely: "Are you sure you don't want to move away? Be careful that my whip doesn't recognize people."

Seeing more and more onlookers outside, Mrs. Chen simply sat on the ground, patted her thighs, and cried bitterly: "Come on, kill someone, even I, an old woman, will not be spared, the newcomer The prefect is a murderer who has lost his conscience."

Lin Ling said viciously, "I'll say it again, get out of the way."

Seeing how brave her mother-in-law was, Mrs. Wang didn't want to be outdone. She went outside and shouted: "Everyone, come and have a look. This is how the new prefect acts as an official. He bullies the common people without distinction. Let us How do you live, there is no kingly law in this world, this is the heaven of the prefect."

Every word and every sentence is slandering adults, it is really unbearable, Song Min is so angry that the veins on his forehead are bulging, and he often wants to beat people.

Lin Ling's fiery temper came up, and she grabbed a person's hair with one hand. In fact, she wanted to throw them on the ground and rub them, torturing them severely.

Forget it after thinking about it, dragged it away directly, the force was so great that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law let out a cry like a pig being killed.

The people around looked inexplicably amused, this girl is too tough, I don't know who would dare to marry her!
After Lin Ling dragged the two of them away, seeing that no one was taking the lead and the quarrel could not continue, the others followed suit. The guard gate was relieved and finally could enter and exit normally.

Being dragged away, Mrs. Chen became more and more angry as she thought about it. Leaning on crutches, she angrily came to the study room, where her son Fang Tongzhi was moaning and sighing.

"Son, why are you still sitting here, go, go with mother, to stop them, it's unreasonable, you're too deceitful, don't take you as an imperial official in your eyes." Chen said through gritted teeth!
Fang Tongzhi persuaded the old mother: "Mother, this is already a fixed matter, and it cannot be changed. You should stop making trouble and pay attention to your body."

Chen was so angry that she slapped the table: "What's the iron plate, what evidence do they have, no, mother can't swallow this breath, unless I die, or they will never take a grain of food."

After finishing speaking, he walked quickly to the gate outside, and his steps did not look like an old lady's.

The old lady left, Fang Tongzhi thought about what his mother said was right, he was also an official ordered by the court, what right did Li Mo have to dismiss him, even if he made a mistake, it was the court that had the right to dispose of him.

The more I think about it, the more I feel angry, and I feel that Li Mo is too much, and I don't give any face!This is abuse of power and public revenge!

No, I'm having a hard time, and I can't make her feel better. If that's the case, let's discredit her political achievements and see how she can convince the public and explain to the court in the future!
Yes, that's how it should be.

The more Fang Tongzhi thought about it, the more feasible he felt.

He suddenly stood up from the chair, went outside, and chose the side room closest to the gate of the mansion.

At this time, everyone gathered in the direction of the mansion gate!

The side room is not high, and the beam is relatively short. Standing on a chair, you can hang the rope to the beam above with a flick of your hand!
Everything was ready, Fang Tongzhi had been waiting, and when he saw someone walking outside, the scene of suicide and hanging began.

This suicide really needs to be skillful, and it needs to be discovered by others without dying.

Passers-by didn't think about it, and looked up at the open door inadvertently. They were so frightened that they almost lost their souls, and shouted to the surroundings: "Someone committed suicide, come quickly, help."

At this time, Fang Tongzhi smiled complacently, and quickly kicked the chair away.

So the screaming man was a fool, he couldn't even see clearly, and the man who hanged himself didn't even kick the stool away, how could he die!

At the same time, Gao Hang's screams quickly attracted many people, including Song Min and others who were carrying food.

The butler stepped forward and hugged Fang Tongzhi, holding his feet tightly, not letting the rope strangle him around his neck: "Master, hold on."

Everyone hurriedly put Fang Tongzhi down, and Fang Tongzhi opened his eyes faintly: "Why do you want to save me, just let me die."

Butler: "Master, you can't say that again."

Mrs. Chen rushed over with her little feet, crying: "My son, mother knows that you have been wronged, but you can't seek death. Let's go to Lord Inspector and ask him to seek justice for you. If it doesn't work, we will go to court." The capital sues the imperial court!"

Wang followed behind, started to cry, and grabbed Fang Tongzhi's hand: "Master, you can't leave us orphans and widows, what will we do in the future!"

Song Min stood behind the crowd, looking at everything in front of him quietly, with a solemn expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

Fang Tongzhi felt a chill inexplicably, like being stared at by a poisonous snake. He looked up in shock, only seeing the concerned eyes of the people in the mansion, and muttered in his heart: "Why is it suddenly so cold today?"

The news quickly spread outside: "It's not good, Mr. Fang hanged himself!"

The people outside were stunned, and they didn't eat the melon seeds in their hands. Why did people die suddenly?The people who eat melons are talking about it.

"Could it be that Fang Tongzhi was really wronged?"

"How is it possible, I didn't see so much food pulled out from his house."

"That's right, didn't you hear what the new yamen servant said, there are other places besides here."

"This morning, we shouldn't have treated the new prefect like that. Thinking about it, I feel really ashamed."

"Who says it's not? On her first day in office, she caught all these corrupt officials."

Since there was a fatality, Song Min didn't dare to make a claim, so he sent someone back to ask Li Mo for instructions.

"What, who committed suicide?" Li Mo put down the brush in his hand, and looked up at the yamen servant who came back to report the letter!
"My lord, it's Fang Tongzhi who is in charge of the granary." The yamen servant reported the truth.

Li Mo said lightly, "Is he dead?"

"It was discovered in time, and it has been rescued."

Li Mo smiled coldly: "It's a pity that he didn't die, and thought that he would donate two pennies after he died, and now he can save it."

Yamen servant: "..."

Li Mo paused: "You go and tell Song Min that I am waiting for the news of Fang Tongzhi's suicide and death, don't stop Fang Tongzhi and let him die.

Then tell Fang Tongzhi that since he wants to die so much, he will be fulfilled. The officer will check his employment situation for so many years carefully, and will not let a single bit go, so that he is ready to go to jail. "

The yamen servant's eyes lit up: "I'll tell Brother Song right away."

When the yamen servant repeated Li Mo's words, the Fang family was dumbfounded, especially Fang Tongzhi, whose old face was flushed with anger!

How things are not as expected!Shouldn't Mr. Li send someone over to comfort him?

Then say again: "I have wronged you."

And then, big things turned into small things, and everyone was safe and sound!

Chen's face was so dark that it couldn't be darker, and he yelled: "Such a person is also worthy of being a prefect. He can't distinguish between right and wrong. If he framed Zhongliang, he will die badly. I'm sorry."

Lin Ling just came over, and when she heard this, she was really angry. She whipped a whip on her thigh. Fuck it, such a person is not worthy of respecting the old and loving the young.

Chen did not expect that someone would really dare to beat her, and howled like a pig: "Killed, the prefect's mansion killed."

Song Min yelled loudly: "Come here, arrest Fang Tongzhi, put him in a cell, and wait for your lord to deal with him."

Fang Tongzhi quickly grabbed his wife, and signaled her not to make trouble anymore, and to expose his old background, even decapitation is possible.

Only then did Chen panic, shut up quickly!
...

This day can be said to be very exciting. People in the city can say that they haven't brought heavy samples for the first half month.

Before the new prefect came, they didn't even know that these officials regarded the government office as their own home. They didn't know how much they were corrupt before. Is there any law in this world!
The more everyone talked, the angrier they became, hating themselves for being blind at the beginning, and actually following them to make trouble.

Thank you Lord Taishou for your mercy, if you really do something, it will be enough for them to regret it for a lifetime.

Li Mo didn't know about the evaluation from the outside, and didn't want to know, she was very busy now.

The master was sent to Fucheng early the next morning.

Looking at the piles of tall materials in front of him, the master twitched his mouth: "My lord, you called me from Songjiang County so early in the morning, why don't you let me help you sort it out?"

Li Mo said without blushing, "Look at what you said, what is helping me, this is mutual, understand?"

Master: "My lord, have you forgotten that I am the master of Songjiang County, not the master of Fucheng!"

Li Mo raised his eyebrows: "Why, is this a bargain with the official?"

Master: "Don't dare!"

Master really didn't dare, even if Li Mo didn't call him over, he would come to help, without Li Mo, there would be no him!

There is a serious shortage of manpower now, and everyone is transferred from Songjiang County!
Li Mo can make decisions on the selection of head arresters and yamen servants, but the management of water conservancy, criminal affairs, grain depots, and silver depots belong to the imperial court officials, as well as the county magistrates of various counties, and the imperial court will send people over.

But before people come, everything in the government office must be on the right track.

These burdens rest on the master!

Songjiang County has achieved something from being poor to now. It can be said that everyone has contributed a lot.

Those development plans in Songjiang County cannot be used in all places in Yunning County at present!
Li Mo doesn't have a better plan at the moment, the first task now is that there are still several counties below, the county magistrate has been arrested, Li Mo is worried that the matter of the government office will reappear in the local area.

People had to be sent to quickly control the situation, and Liang Xu led the brothers from the film department to suppress it directly. The temporary leaders of various counties were so frightened that they quickly bleached themselves and took back all the excess.

On the third day of taking office, except for Songjiang County, all towns and villages in Yunning County posted such notices.

First, to encourage wasteland reclamation, no tax will be collected for the first three years, and after the beginning of spring, the government will come forward to guide everyone on what crops to plant!

Second, cancel all exorbitant taxes!
Third, if you have an unjust or wrongly decided case, you can appeal to the government office after the criminal judge takes office!

When I was in Songjiang County, nothing like this happened. However, looking at these public officials in the government office, they were blackmailed from top to bottom. I don’t know how many people have been wronged here, and they must be re-examined!
As soon as this news came out, the entire Yunning County was boiling!

Everyone can't believe that exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been abolished!
Everyone rushed to tell each other, and those who could read were read to those who could not.

An old man listened to it five times in a row and confirmed again and again: "Is this true?"

People who can read are also very patient: "Yes, there are black and white characters on it, and there is also the seal of the prefect."

The old man burst into tears: "Heaven has eyes, and finally hoped for an upright official, and we will have a good life in the future."

"Who says it's not? Someone went to Songjiang County to do business and said that life in Songjiang County is much better than ours."

The day before the notice was issued, the master did not agree: "My lord, this is Yunning County. There are so many towns and villages below. It is not a small county town in Songjiang County. Exorbitant taxes have been cancelled. How can the government support it?" ?”

Song Min also disagreed: "My lord, this is a very important matter. If there is no money in the yamen, you can't continue to rob it."

When Lin Ling heard the word robbery, she instantly regained her spirits: "It's good to be robbery, the money comes quickly."

The most important thing is that they haven't robbed for a long time, and they almost forgot what it's like to rob.

Zhang Zhongping looked at Lin Ling resentfully: Linger, you took all my lines away.

Zhou Xing'er looked at Li Mo with burning eyes: "My lord, when are you leaving? Let's go grab it once."

Li Mo looked at the bandit-like crowd and stroked his forehead, feeling tired.

Look at what I have done to bring down all the good people.

The master said with a stern face: "Look at you, what do you look like when you talk about robbery all day long! Give me a serious look."

Zhang Zhongping looked proud: "Master, have you forgotten that Songjiang County made its fortune by robbing?"

Li Mo just drank a sip of tea and almost spit it out, pretended to cough twice: "Pay attention to your rhetoric, what is robbing to make a fortune, that's called getting it in a proper way, if you understand it, don't use words indiscriminately if you don't understand, read more books if you have nothing to do. "

Zhang Zhongping muttered to himself: "My lord, you are a typical example of only allowing state officials to set fires and not allowing people to light lamps."

Li Mo looked at him coldly: "Say it again."

Zhang Zhongping: "Pretend I didn't say anything."

There are still two months left before Spring, and Li Mo still needs to conduct field surveys to find out which villages are suitable for planting!
The structure and geology of each county are different and cannot be stereotyped. Only on-site inspections have the right to speak.

 It's the end of the month, babies, remember to cast your monthly pass! (^^)
