() Looking at Li Zixiong in front of him, Su Tiancheng could only shake his head and sigh.Visit download txt novel

Li Zixiong is considered a shrewd person, he understands many rules in the officialdom, and he doesn't have much background. In just a few years, he became a fifth-rank Zhizhou, which is not bad.

It's a pity that Li Zixiong's heart has been completely occupied by utilitarianism, and other things are out of the question. In his eyes, everything can be exchanged, including conscience and principles.

Such an official must never stay.

"My lord, the lower officials are convinced. If you play tricks in front of your lord, you should end up like this."

"Li Zixiong, if you have anything to say, just say it. The official told you clearly that your time is running out. The official did not expect that you are just the magistrate of Shanzhou. The gold and silver treasures copied from your family are worth 100 million taels of silver. , if you reach a high position, you don't know how much money you can accumulate."

There was no expression on Li Zixiong's face.

"My lord said this, but I'm not convinced in my heart. I'm nothing. I've seen so many adults. Who wouldn't be greedy? Why should I be more greedy? That's how I end up."

"What you said is good. The official also admits that you are not the only one who is greedy for money and money. He said that there are probably more powerful people in Henan Province than you. However, there is a saying that the official still has to say. You don't It's up to you."

"Why do you say that, my lord?"

"Hehe, it's very simple. What are you? Two years ago, you were the magistrate of Yanxiang County, and served as the magistrate of Shanzhou. It took only two years. The official counted your salary and included regular silver. A few years Time, your income is only 5 taels of silver at most. It is said that these taels of silver are enough for you to live on. How should I put it, these taels of silver are the embodiment of your value. You are only eligible to get so much silver. It’s a pity. You are not satisfied. You want to stand out, so you have to blame yourself for today's ending. "

Li Zixiong actually thought about it.

"What the adults said is indeed reasonable, but the reality may not be the case."

"Yes. What you said is correct. The official has no objection. This is a fact. It is said that you are a smart person. When the official came to Henan Mansion, you knew every move and request. You are so fond of analysis. , In front of Qu Qingze, I said so much, why didn't I analyze it this time, I knew that the official was going to build the Henan government well, but I still wanted to resist behind my back, if you did what the official said, you wouldn't have today ending, so to speak. You damned."

Li Zixiong lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time.

Su Tiancheng looked at Li Zixiong quietly, but didn't speak.

"My lord, I know that this life cannot be saved. I only have one request."

"If you have any requirements, say."

"The lower officials don't want their family members to be implicated, and hope that the adults will let them live."

"There is no problem with this. Your sins should be borne by yourself, and your family members should not be implicated."

"Thank you, my lord. I don't have anything else to say. I've done everything in front of my lord. Today, I asked for it. I have nothing to say. Only now do I understand that I have no qualifications to compete with my lord." of."

Su Tiancheng nodded secretly. He thought that Li Zixiong would bite out the boss behind the scenes. Unexpectedly, Li Zixiong didn't intend to say it at all. family safety.

It has been five days since the secret book was sent out, and it is supposed to come down according to the emperor's will.

In the end, Su Tiancheng didn't kill first and play later, he chose the secret Zhe special performance. It was safer to do so. Li Zixiong and Luoyang county magistrate were executed.

The candidates recommended by Su Tiancheng have been carefully considered. Qu Qingze will be the magistrate of Shanzhou, Su Pingyang will be the magistrate of Luoyang County, Su Jun will be the magistrate of Yanxiang County, Sun Siming will be the magistrate of Lushi County, Sun Sizong will be the magistrate of Yiyang County. Bing served as magistrate of Dengfeng County, and Lu Taibo served as magistrate of Gong County.

For the remaining Yanshi County, Yongning County, Lingbao County, Mianchi County, Mengjin County, An County, and Song County, the Ministry of Officials decided on the candidates for the county magistrates.

Can Su Tiancheng recommend all the magistrate candidates, so that Henan Mansion will become a family, and must be impeached by the court ministers. The officials he recommended control all the key places in Henan Mansion, and basically control the lifeline of Henan Mansion.

On March [-]th, the emperor's imperial decree finally came down.

All of Su Tiancheng's petitions have been passed, and the Ministry of Officials has already begun to consider candidates for magistrates. The palace examination will be held soon, and after the palace examination is over, all magistrates will be in place.

To Su Tiancheng's surprise, Xiong Zijian came to Henan Mansion, Qu Qingze left the Jiangning Camp, and Xiong Zijian became the commander of the Jiangning Camp.

Except for Li Zixiong who was decisive and the magistrate of Luoyang County, all other magistrates were escorted to the capital.

Many other magistrates were escorted to the capital. Su Tiancheng frowned on this point of view. The imperial court obviously had a different view on his own proposal. Okay, it seems that there must have been some disputes in the court.

By this time, Su Tiancheng couldn't control so much anymore.

On March 21, the entire city of Luoyang County was put on alert.

The news has already spread that Li Zixiong, the former magistrate of Shanzhou and the magistrate of Luoyang County, was sentenced to be executed for corruption and perverting the law, and will be executed today.

All the people in the city went to the street, and everyone wanted to see if this matter was true. Such a big event had never happened in Henan Province.

Of course, the people are all standing in designated places, and they cannot run around at will, nor can they whisper to each other.

At Chenshi, Su Tiancheng read the imperial decree in front of Li Zixiong and the Yuanzhi County of Luoyang County in the lobby of the government office. Li Zixiong didn't have any special reaction. The smell of sao spread very quickly, and the magistrate actually became incontinent.

The prison van was already ready.

The densely packed people on the street watched the prison van pass by, but no one spoke.

Su Tiancheng personally supervised the execution.

The court was set up in the suburbs.

All officials from the Henan Government Office and the Luoyang County Government Office were present at the scene.

Some officials' complexions were not much better than those of Li Zixiong and others, and their bodies were even trembling. They didn't know if it would be their turn next.

Before the beheading, Li Zixiong and Zhixian were going to drink a bowl of wine, which was a farewell wine.

Su Tiancheng took the wine bowl from the butcher himself.

"Li Zixiong, for this bowl of wine, the official came to respect you personally. No matter what, you are an official ordered by the court. If you ended up like this today, think about it for yourself. What should you do in the next life? Your family and the official have been properly arranged. They won't have any problems, don't blame anyone, don't be lonely ghosts, and reincarnate well."

A smile appeared on Li Zixiong's face.

"My lord, the guilty minister can say nothing. If he dies at the hands of the lord, the guilty minister will be convinced."

When the head fell to the ground, many officials watching could not stand still.

Looking at these trembling officials, Su Tiancheng felt mixed feelings in his heart.

It is impossible for him to pursue all the officials. It is reasonable for the law not to punish the public. These officials oppress the people and are greedy for money and silver. According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, they can indeed be beheaded. But this is not a personal mistake. That's it, officials can't help themselves, there is no saint in this world, everyone is mortal.

Killing one to warn others is a must. Killing Li Zixiong, it can be said that the officials of the Henan government have been completely controlled by him, no one dares to mess around, but the future responsibilities will also be increased.

The conditions in Henan Mansion are too poor. If officials work hard and have no other sources of income, they really cannot support their families. This is the actual situation, especially some government servants, who look like beggars and have no good clothes.The salary stipulated by the imperial court was indeed too low. When he was in Jiangning County, Su Tiancheng could think of ways to increase the income of the officials, but when he came to Henan Mansion, he dared not make such an opening because the conditions did not allow it.

Doing things requires a two-pronged approach. It is impossible to blindly require officials to be clean and poorer than ordinary people. Su Tiancheng will not do such a thing. The composition of this dynasty has always been divided into high and low. The reality and the development of the times have also proved this point. There is a difference between the rich and the poor.

The government office started to implement the five tasks again. Except for the matter of counting the cultivated land, it will take some time, and the rest of the time must be done quickly.

This time, the actions of the counties were unusually fast. None of the counties said that they were short of money. Some officials took out the money themselves.

The shops of Song Sijun, Wan Chenggui and others all opened at this time.

The merchants in the Henan prefecture had been terrified a long time ago, and they did exactly what the government asked. Their heads were not as hard as Li Zixiong's. The magistrate wanted to chop off their heads at any time.

All the gentry and wealthy households in Henan Mansion were silent, and no one dared to stand out again.

<In terms of farming and production, officials are everywhere in the fields. With such a good policy, farmers must of course cultivate the land seriously. Fortunately, there is no drought this year. In the first month, there were several heavy snowfalls. This is a good year. <The matter of plowing must be supervised by him. This cannot be delayed. At least the people in Henan Province must be able to support themselves. The production of plowing in the spring has been delayed. There is no food. It is impossible for the government to provide so much money for relief. Yes, food is the root.To be continued. , You are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. . )
