"Is he really Lord Cui Gengcui, the waterway transfer envoy?"

"Is that fake?"

As he spoke, Song Genhai opened the burden behind him and took out the confession of Cui Geng and others.

Since it can be confirmed that the person in front of him is Cui Geng, what else is there to say? These officials were ordered to do things, and they did not commit capital crimes, how could they fight against the land and water transfer envoys for the sake of Yang Wulian?

"See Lady Cui! The villain has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and he hopes to forgive his sins! All the officials knelt on the ground and paid homage to Cui Geng.

"Get up, if you can make meritorious contributions, it's not that this official can't be extrajudicially merciful."

Immediately, Cui Geng ordered Feng Changqing to be in the shop, recorded the confessions of these people, and asked them to sign and draw them.

Such a big movement certainly alarmed the other customers in the small shop.

"Cui Qingtian, it turned out that Cui Qingtian was here!"

"Originally, we thought Cui ...... The adult and Yang Gouguan are all the way, and they really spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! ”

"Yang Wulian has done absolutely bad things, and I ask Cui Qingtian to make the decision for us!"

……

Hulala, including the shopkeeper and the guy of the shop, everyone knelt on Cui Geng's ground.

Cui Geng hurriedly clasped his hands and said, "Fathers and fellow villagers, please hurry up, this official will definitely give you justice!" ”

"Thank you, Master Cui!"

Only then did everyone get up, but they did not leave there, but asked to enter Shaanzhou City with Cui Geng.

This is a bit of a situation to force each other: Didn't you Cui Geng claim that you want to uphold justice for us? Okay, then now, you can go and have a hard anus with Yang Wulian. Otherwise, if you enter Shaanzhou and compromise with Yang Wulian, the officials will protect each other, where will we be reasonable?

Cui Geng understood that these people were scared by Yang Wulian's toss, and he didn't think he was angry, and agreed to their request.

The people were thunderous, and people with good deeds told Cui Geng a piece of news: Yang Wulian was a fake tiger and declared to the people that he was Cui Geng's person.

There are two evidences: First, Cui Geng and Yuan Shuji are not in harmony, and the world knows about it. At the same time, Yang Wulian was degraded at the beginning, but he was also participated in by Yuan Shuji, and it can be said that Yang Wulian and Cui Geng have a common enemy and are natural allies.

Second, Yang Wulian requisitioned 3,000 people, wasn't it to build a plank road for Cao Yun? This is all following Cui Jingzhao's orders. When you go to him to complain, are you not blind?

As for the ...... Where else are you going to file a complaint? Hehe, with Cui Jingzhao's strength, can he still suppress it?

The vast majority of people in Shaanzhou were really frightened by Yang Wulian's words. Only Ma Tianfang did not believe in evil and fled to the capital, sounding the drum of injustice.

When Cui Geng heard the news, he couldn't help but secretly scream, looking at the posture of the people of Shaanzhou, it was about to cause a civil change. When the time comes, something really happened, and I really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away.

……

……

Cui Geng and his entourage, mighty, went straight to Shaanzhou City. Along the way, people continued to join, and Cui Geng was happy to see it, and he did not prohibit it.

By the time they reached the city gate, they had reached two or three hundred people.

The soldiers guarding the city gate did not dare to stop it, but someone rushed to deliver a letter to Yang Wulian.

Cui Geng was not in a hurry when he saw this, and still came slowly in the direction of Shaanzhou Thorn Mansion, and many people joined along the way.

When he arrived in front of the Shaanzhou Thorn Mansion, there were nearly 800 people behind him. In front of everyone's eyes, it is impossible for Cui Geng to compromise with Yang Wulian whenever he wants to make a face.

At this time, Yang Wulian had already taken the officials of the Shaanzhou Yamen and waited for a long time.

This is an old man in his sixties, with a clear appearance, gray hair, good spirits, and quite good looks.

Yang Wulian knelt down on his knees, bowed to the courtesy, and said, "Your lower official Yang Wulian, see Cui Zhuan!" ”

Seeing this, Cui Geng was slightly stunned.

Although he is regarded as Yang Wulian's superior, he is a fourth-grade official, and Yang Wulian is also a fourth-grade official. He's so attentive, what kind of trouble is this?

Cui Geng was noncommittal, and said lightly: "No courtesy." ”

"Xie Cui Transit Envoy!" Yang Wulian got up and said respectfully: "Cui Zhuan's envoy has worked hard all the way, this is not the place to speak, please come in to serve tea!" ”

"Can't go in!"

"Let's make it clear here!"

"Please also ask Master Cui to make decisions for us!"

……

The people were still not very relieved, and shouted loudly.

Cui Geng also deliberately cleared up the relationship between himself and Yang Wulian, and waited for people's voices to lower and lower, and said: "Since the people are interested, Yang Tingshi, let's make things clear here." ”

"The lower officials will obey the orders of Cui Zhuan."

"Okay, I'll ask you, someone has sued you for the remnants. The people who fell off the cliff were counted as fugitives, and not only were they not compensated, but their families were also forced to pay for exemption. Is there such a thing? ”

"The lower official is wronged!" Yang Wulian's face was extremely aggrieved, and he said: "These people have indeed fled, and the lower officials arrest their families in accordance with the laws of the imperial court, why not?" ”

"Do you think there is any evidence for these people to flee?"

Yang Wulian spread his hands and said, "Minfu fled, what evidence can there be?" However, if it is said that those people fell off the cliff, there is no evidence! Otherwise, you ask, where are the bodies of the people who fell off the cliff? ”

Someone in the crowd immediately shouted: "The corpses of those people have been tied to stones by your people and thrown into the Yellow River." ”

Yang Wulian chuckled lightly and said, "Those corpses were thrown into the Yellow River? Did you see that? What time? Where were you at that time, and who did you see who sank the body of the man into the Yellow River? ”

"This ...... I didn't ...... I didn't see it with my own eyes, but everyone said so. ”

"That's hearsay." Yang Wulian shrugged his shoulders and said, "How can hearsay be accurate?" Although according to the laws of my Great Zhou, I am falsely accused of sitting back. But this official doesn't know you like a fool, so step down! ”

"......" The man was dumbfounded and did not dare to say anything.

Cui Geng understands that an old bureaucrat like Yang Wulian is not so easy to be grasped by himself, and he has long expected this result.

In fact, he didn't want to turn his face with Yang Wulian so quickly, he just wanted to take over the dozens of miles of plank road. As for bringing Yang Wulian to justice? Then it can only be a slow picture.

It's just that now, this guy is spreading rumors that he has a close relationship with him in Shaanzhou, and he must change his original plan. Otherwise, wouldn't it be true to what he said?

Cui Geng smiled slightly and said, "The case of the people can be put aside for the time being." But it's always a fact that you, Yang Tingshi, collected taxes in Shaanzhou without asking for a request, right? The white paper and black letters, the bright red seal, how can you deny it? ”

Cui Geng's eyes were bright, and he Feng Changqing stepped forward and took out the confessions of those officials, and even the tax bills covered with the seal of the Shaanzhou Thorn History.

"Oh, Cui Zhuan's envoy is asking this......" Seeing this, Yang Wulian did not panic, and said: "Unauthorized collection of taxes is indeed done by this official, so what?" ”

"What else?" Cui Genghao was overwhelmed, and said: "Without the will of the imperial court, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are rebelling without permission!" ”

Yang Wulian said indifferently: "Indeed, if the whereabouts of the tax are unknown, the official can be punished for the crime of rebellion." However, it is clear that ...... These taxes are used by the official to build the plank road, what is the crime? ”

After a pause, he said earnestly: "So that Cui Jingzhao can know that my Shaanzhou is a small and poor people, and I really can't afford to build a plank road for dozens of miles." In order to complete the task you have assigned, it is really a last resort to collect taxes from past merchants than to persecute the people, right? ”

"Huh?"

Of course, Cui Geng understands that what Yang Wulian said is pure nonsense. However, if you want to refute it, I really don't know how to say it.

Yes, it is a felony to collect taxes without permission, but that only exists in theory. If there is a legitimate reason to raise taxes, most people in the government and the opposition do not think that there is anything wrong. If you hold on to it, it's nothing more than a lawsuit before the emperor, and it is not yet known who will win and who will lose.

Maybe some people will think that Yang Wulian does not raise taxes to the people of Shaanzhou, but only increases taxes to past merchants, and he is really a good official who asks for the people's life.

Cui Geng thought for a moment and said, "If the treasury of Shaanzhou is insufficient, why don't you report it to this official?" ”

Yang Wulian said confidently: "If you complain to the official in everything, what do you want this official to do in the history of Shaanzhou?" Besides, if I report it to you, you will be able to conjure gold and silver? At that time, it will not be taken from the people, what is the difference between it and the method of raising taxes by the officials? ”

"Of course, there is a difference, the official can mobilize money and food from other state capitals."

"Transferring money and grain from other state capitals?" Yang Wulian said disapprerovingly: "Then how can you guarantee that the assassins of other state capitals will not raise taxes without authorization in order to curry favor with you?" ”

Regarding this, Cui Geng really can't guarantee it. First, no matter how wealthy the local government is, it will always spend more money than it earns, and it is indeed not easy to raise money and grain in a hurry. Second, and most importantly, if there is a tax increase, you can fill your pockets, who can resist this temptation~ confusion?

He thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "Okay, this official won't have a war of words with you." You are now commanded not to interfere in the construction of the boardwalk. This plank road is presided over by the official himself. ”
