Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 286 Intimidation

He Liu unfastened the Xiuchun Saber from his waist and threw it to his warriors.The Xiuchun Knife of Jinyiwei Beizhen Fushi can punish officials below the fifth rank without a request.

County Magistrate Li saw that He Liu was really serious, and kowtowed in fright, "Please forgive me! The Ministry of Households allocated so little food. If you cook thick porridge, you will have to use up the credit in less than a day! This is a last resort for the lower officials." ! For the sake of Eunuch Lu, let me spare the officer this time."

He Liu walked up to County Magistrate Li, grabbed his official uniform and said, "Don't scare me with Lu Fang! Jin Yiwei is not a servant of the Supervisor of Ceremonies! I only obey the emperor! If you want me to spare you, you can do it. You have to do a few things for me."

County Magistrate Li hurriedly said, "Please order, Sixth Lord."

He Liudao: "Firstly, according to the method proposed by Master Hai, free up the county government office, the mansions of rich households, county schools, and ancestral halls - all the places that can accommodate the victims of the disaster, all of which will be vacated for those victims of the disaster! Wealthy families donate food to help the victims!"

County Magistrate Li said: "Sixth Master, I can barely do the first thing. But if I do the second thing, I'm afraid I will offend all the gentry in Wanping County."

He Liu drew out the Xiuchun Knife and "cracked" it, and with a sideways swing of the knife, he swept County Magistrate Li's black gauze cap to the ground: "You think I'm just kidding you when I say I cut you off, right?"

County magistrate Li turned pale with shock, and quickly said: "I will do it right now! Do it according to Liu Ye's will!"

The gates of the city were opened by the servants, and most of the victims entered the city.

Outside the city, there were only seven or eight hundred and a half old, weak, sick and disabled lying down without moving.

Hai Rui stepped forward and said loudly, "Folks, go into the city! The city has prepared hot porridge and steamed buns for you! There are also warm bedrolls! Get up, go into the city, and drink porridge , eat steamed buns, sleep on hot bedrolls!"

There were seven or eight hundred old, weak, sick and disabled, but no one responded.

One Li was walking in front of Hai Rui: "My lord, stop shouting. You are calling the wrong person! These are frozen corpses, and they haven't had time to be taken away!"

Hai Rui knelt down in front of seven or eight hundred corpses almost in despair. He raised his head and tried not to let tears flow out.How can the sad tears stop?

Hai Rui was almost shouting, "Folks, I, Hai Rui, am sorry for being late!"

Seeing such a scene, He Liu felt his nose sore.

He Liu suddenly had a strange idea: the smoke from Chaotian Temple, Lingji Palace, and Yongshou Palace, which was lit for the sake of immortality, actually burned the corpses of the poor people all over the world!The tens of thousands of palaces and palaces in the imperial city are the blood and tears of the Li people!
Heaven and Earth Monarch, Parent and Teacher.Jun ranks third.Ming ruled the world with filial piety.The emperor is the father of the whole world.All the courtiers in the world should look forward to the emperor's longevity and longevity.

However, now He Liu suddenly had a thought - he hoped that the gentleman in Yongshou Palace would soon travel westward with a crane!
A group of people finally entered the city.

The houses of the wealthy households were not vacated, and the donated food disappeared.

County magistrate Li is a veteran in official circles.He knew that he was no match for Jin Yiwei's sixth master.So, he connected all the old officials and famous gentry in the city, and asked them to come to the county government to fight He Liudou!

Several retired officials led dozens of wealthy local gentry into the county government office.The leader was none other than Xiang Shouli, the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Xiang Shouli claimed to be a veteran of the imperial court, and Jin Yiwei couldn't touch him.He asked in a loud voice: "He Zhen Fushi, you ordered the victims to enter the city, and let the county magistrate Li force us to vacate our houses for those mud legs, and you also forced us to donate food?"

He Liu replied, "Yes, what's the matter?"

Xiang Shouli said: "I am a man of fame! How can the house and ancestral hall of the family be given to those foolish people to live in? You are deliberately insulting the gentleman!"

Xiang Shouli turned his head and asked Hai Rui again: "Seeing that you are wearing a sixth-rank official uniform, let me ask you, what is your background?"

Hai Rui replied, "I'm from Juren."

Xiang Shouli sneered and said, "It turns out that I came from Juren who didn't even enter the two rankings! Let me tell you, I am the No. 18 Enke ranking in the [-]th year of Jiajing! Today I will rely on the old to sell the old and teach you the way of a saint! You listen to me ..."

He Liu was not in the mood to talk about the way of a sage with Xiang Shouli, so he interrupted Xiang Shouli: "Master Xiang, you used to be the left servant of the official department, right?"

Xiang Shouli raised his head proudly: "Exactly! The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments. The emperor appointed me to be the left servant of the Ministry of Officials. It is a great trust and grace for me!"

He Liudao: "Very good! Yan Song, Yan Shifan and his son are plotting against each other! In the imperial court, the members of the Yan Party are being investigated! When Yan Song was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, you were the left servant and Yan Song's deputy! I think you are the Yan Party! Come on! , Take it down, escort it to Fusi Prison in Beizhen, and interrogate it clearly!"

Xiang Shouli is really not a strict party member.He was a member of Xia Yan at the beginning, when he was the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, he was pushed out by Yan Song and had no real power.

Xiang Shouli said angrily: "He Liu, you are spitting blood! Who in the court doesn't know that I am the chief assistant of Mr. Xia?"

He Liu said angrily: "Xiang Shouli, did I, Jinyiwei's Beizhen envoy, give you face? Thousands of hungry people outside the city starved to death, and you are still here indifferent, leading me to make trouble? Look at the people of Li You must be a strict party! I can’t catch you by mistake! I’d like to see if you, an old bone of seventy or eighty years old, can get out of the imperial prison after a walk in it!”

He Liu winked at Hai Rui.

Hai Rui is a direct minister, but not a fool.He immediately understood, and played the trick of black and white face with He Liu.

Hai Rui smoothed things over: "Master He, I believe Mr. Xiang is not a strict party member. Who said that he regards the lives of ordinary people as nothing? He has already agreed to donate a thousand dans of good rice to help the victims. Leaving all the vacant houses in the family for the disaster victims to live in! Isn't that right, Mr. Xiang?"

Xiang Shouli was taken aback.Although he has lived in the countryside for a long time, he still has some old disciples in the court, and he knows a little bit about the court situation.As early as when He Liu was investigating the Jiangnan salt smuggling case, he had heard of He Liu's notoriety as a "mad dog".

He knew that if He Madgou in front of him could say what he said, he could really do it.If he insists on being stubborn, maybe his old bones will really be broken in Beizhen Fusi Prison.

Xiang Shouli was helpless, and whispered: "Oh, if you donate a thousand dans of grain, donate it. I will also free up the house. I am deeply favored by the emperor. How can I sit and watch the emperor's people freeze and starve to death?"

He Liu said to the gentry again: "Listen to me! The Fusi Prison in Beizhen is very empty recently! I would like to grab a few Yan Party members and stuff them in! Anyone who disregards the life and death of the victims is Yan Yan. Party! The imperial prison is waiting for you to enter, and the steel knife will not spare you!"

Seeing Xiang Shouli, a group of gentry admitted their cowardice, and lowered their heads one after another, expressing their willingness to donate food and vacate houses.
