Chapter 4 White 54 Give Fang La a way out
Wu Yong gave several options: "First of all, you can choose to go to the border pass to join the army, where there is a great need for manpower, and you can atone for your sins when the time comes, secondly, there is still a shortage of people on our mountain, I can apply to the official family to arrange you to serve on our mountain, if you are not willing to go to these two places, then there is another option, you will be split and sent to exile in various places, according to your crimes, there is still a chance to come back in five years and ten years." ”
Fang La was quite surprised by the three choices proposed by Wu Yong, originally he thought that they had only one way to go through exile, if it was serious, they might not even be able to save their lives.
Deng Yuanjue also sighed: "Master Wu is benevolent, and the old man is willing to contribute to the border pass." ”
After careful consideration, Fang La said: "I am also willing to go to the border pass, but I can't make decisions for those people under my command, I have to go back and ask them before talking." ”
Fang Jie, Shi Bao and others who followed Fang La also expressed their willingness to go to the border to atone for their crimes, mainly because so far, Wu Yong's promise is still relatively reliable, saying that they would arrest Zhu Mian, so they caught Zhu Mian, and they were willing to believe Wu Yong again.
Wu Yong still understood Fang La's words: "Then you go back and ask them, we will officially open the trial of Zhu Mian in two days, if you are interested, you can come and have a look, and by the way, tell me their choice." ”
Fang La nodded: "Okay." ”
Two days later, the government office, which had not been open to ordinary people for a long time, and even ordinary people had to walk faster when they passed by, finally opened its dusty door, and the people rushed over after breakfast early, apparently waiting for onlookers to watch Zhu Mian be judged.
Wu Yong heard about the number of people outside in the back office, and asked Shi Wengong to arrange more people to go over to maintain order: "Let them not push, it will not be good if they hurt people at that time." ”
Shi Wengong and Hua Rong took people out to maintain order, and they couldn't help in the trial, so it was better to do more in small things.
Wu Yong was still familiar with this kind of thing, she let Gao Yu sit on the upper seat, sat down under him, and said solemnly: "Bring the sinner Zhu Mian up." ”
After the official brought Zhu Mian up, he immediately asked him to kneel, they had been oppressed before, so they naturally would not be too polite at this time.
Wu Yong glanced at the officials and did not speak, after Zhu Mian's matter is over, these officials must also be carefully assessed.
Wu Yong motioned for Gao Yu to start the trial.
Gao Yu was shocked, and began to announce Zhu Mian's crime very smoothly, because the evidence is conclusive, and there is no need for Zhu Mian to admit guilt or not, just announce the verdict directly.
Zhu Mian stayed in prison for the past few days, and he couldn't think of any way to get away with it, and the whole person was a little confused, and it wasn't until he heard the "Autumn Queen's Question" that the whole person came to his senses and shouted "wronged".
It's just that he really didn't be wronged by others for this crime, and when those people heard his words, they directly threw vegetable leaves at him.
Wu Yong saw that he was about to be submerged by the vegetable leaves, and hurriedly said, "Be quiet." ”
The people arranged by Shi Wengong in the crowd hurriedly maintained order.
After Gao Yu finished sentencing Zhu Mian, he continued to pronounce the sentence of Zhu Mian's father and son, they were not as honest as Zhu Mian, and they all shirked the charges, what "Zhu Mian asked us to do it", what "I gave Zhu Mian all the money I collected and handed over to Zhu Mian", they obviously planned to let Zhu Mian bear the charge alone.
At this time, Zhu Mian saw the faces of his relatives, and fought back angrily: "Don't push everything on me, I haven't received any silver from your filial piety, and I will give you silver every year, why don't you say it." ”
The arguing in the hall turned into a pot of porridge.
Gao Yu patted the shocked wood fiercely: "Quiet, you don't have to argue, the account books have been sent to Beijing, and we will stop them." ”
The left and right officials directly pulled the cloth and plugged their mouths, and after Gao Yu pronounced their sentences, these people were shackled and thrown into prison again.
The people were quite satisfied with this result, and after sending these sinners away, Wu Yong let them disperse.
They went all the way back, preaching today's results all the way, and Wu from the capital province used them to make an announcement.
After Wu Yong and Gao Yu finished doing this, as soon as they returned to the back office, they saw Fang La and them, they really came to see the trial today, and their eyes were a little red at this time.
Wu Yong hurriedly asked people to serve tea: "Okay, Zhu Mian's matter has passed, now can you tell me their choice?"
Fang La took a sip of tea to stabilize his emotions: "They have all decided to go to the border gate, when can we leave?"
After it was determined that Zhu Mian had been sentenced, Fang La's worries were gone, and going to the border to work hard could be regarded as a change of environment to relax, but there was no one who was unwilling.
Wu Yong: "Don't worry about this, since you agreed, I will definitely help you arrange it, and train with General Shi Wengong for a period of time during this time." ”
There are still ordinary people under Fang La, and if these people go to the battlefield without training, they will go to die, so Wu Yong will arrange for them to train for a period of time first.
Fang La listened to Wu Yong's explanation, but also considered this problem, and nodded: "Then it will trouble General Shi." ”
Shi Wengong: "This is what I should do. ”
Deng Yuanjue spoke at this time: "Recently, the city has not been very stable, and the old man is willing to hold a Dharma meeting in the city to stabilize people's hearts." ”
Although Wu Yong is not very interested in the Buddhism, he will not refuse Deng Yuanjue's approach, and those people are willing to listen to such a festival.
Wu Yong: "Okay, you can arrange this kind of thing yourself, and come to us if you need anything." ”
Deng Yuanjue: "Then thank you to Master Wu." ”
In the following time, Wu Yong and them dealt with the mess left by Zhu Mian, while waiting for Zhao Ji to send someone over, otherwise, they couldn't go back.
The Dharma meeting of the great monk Deng Yuanjue was also held smoothly, preaching some karma, the things of the next life and this life, it is indeed a good sustenance for the people who suffered before, so that they can regain the courage to live, and the whole city has quickly settled down.
When Wu Yong was busy on their side, Zhao Ji also received the account books sent back by Tan Zhi.
After Zhao Ji finished reading it himself, he slapped the table fiercely: "This Zhu Mian, it's not a pity to die." Zhao Ji felt that he still underestimated the greed of the people's hearts, this amount was almost comparable to the amount of one percent of the national treasury, no wonder Fang La and they were going to rebel.
Tong Guan picked up the account book that was thrown on the ground, looked through it, and nodded approvingly: "Wu used them to deal with it in a timely manner, otherwise this people's anger would not be so easy to quell it." ”
Zhao Ji was ruthless: "It seems that I was indeed too kind to them in the past, from today onwards, Jinyiwei from all over the country will begin to check the income of these local officials, and if there is more than the standard, they will be reported, I want to see how many people are doing Zhu Mian's thing." ”
