Chapter 879: Chain Reaction (Three Changes)
After learning that the officers of the county government of Dinghai County besieged the inn under the leadership of Liu Siyi, Zheng Liang, Fang Youdao and others were taken aback, and they never imagined that this Liu Si Yi would be so bold.
Keiko Yamaguchi arranged for people to promote Liu Siyi and Wu Bantou and others, and soon figured out their intentions, and privately came to Xiaohe Town to rescue Zhou Renshan in the name of searching for the same party of the Japanese Invaders, and blackmailed Li Yuntian and others by the way.
As for the conspiracy to assassinate Li Yuntian, Liu Siyi, Wu Bantou and others resolutely denied it, they didn't know that the person who appeared in Xiaohe Town was Li Yuntian, otherwise they wouldn't dare to come if they were killed.
This made Li Yi'an and other officials of the Zhejiang Third Division couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, in case there was an incident in which the officials of the Dinghai County County Government murdered Li Yuntian, the consequences would be unimaginable, not to mention that the officials of Dinghai County and even the people of the Zhejiang Third Division would be unlucky.
As the Xiaowu army outside the town rushed to the inn to protect Li Yuntian, the entire Xiaohe Town was sensational in an instant, and they gathered in groups on the street to discuss this matter, no one would have thought that the person who arrested Zhou Renshan today turned out to be the dignified Zhongwu King, if it wasn't for the curfew imposed by the Xiaowu army on the street, the people of the whole town would definitely flock to the inn to see the excitement.
At this moment, the most proud is Zhou Renshan's sworn enemy He Yunyi, originally he was worried that Liu Siyi would be able to escape the catastrophe, and he would definitely deal with him in the future, but now it seems that Liu Siyi has been completely planted this time, and the Zhou family's power is afraid that it will be completely eliminated from Dinghai County.
On the second floor of the inn, Li Yuntian's guest room.
"How can this be reasonable, a small household secretary can bypass the county government official to mobilize soldiers to arrest people wantonly, ignoring the laws of the imperial court, this matter has been going on for a long time, your Zhejiang political envoy and according to the inspection envoy are not able to set up?"
Li Yuntian held the confessions of Liu Si and Wu Ban and others in his hand, and reprimanded Li Yi'an and other officials of the Third Zhejiang Division who were standing in front of him expressionlessly, and Zheng Liang and the other four senior officials from Nanjing sat quietly on both sides, silently witnessing the scene in front of them.
To be honest, in the eyes of Zheng Liang and the four of them, this matter is really too bad, if it spreads, it will definitely be laughed off, who would have thought that the dignified King Zhongwu would encounter such an outrageous thing here.
"The lower officials are not strict under the rule, there is no argument, and they are willing to be punished by the prince." Li Yi'an, as the political envoy of Zhejiang, naturally came forward to deal with it at this time, and bowed to Li Yuntian with a ashamed face.
"Please condemn the prince." When Yang Ming and others heard this, they bowed down to Li Yuntian and pleaded guilty, including Gong Rui and Liu Minyu, who are now also officials in Zhejiang officialdom.
"This matter must be strictly investigated, the world's greatest is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, this Zhou Renshan is powerful and blessed in Xiaohe Town, and he is completely a soil overlord who regards the king's law as dung, and I will be in danger in the long run!" Li Yuntian slapped the confession in his hand on the table and said to Li Yi'an in a deep voice, "Political envoy Li Bu, I hope you can give this king a satisfactory answer." ”
"Don't worry, the lower officials will definitely find out this matter clearly, and they will never allow such despicable people to make waves!" Although Li Yuntian's tone was stern, Li Yi'an couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, Li Yuntian handed over this case to him to investigate, and it was clear that he didn't want to make a big deal about it, otherwise he would definitely not let him try the case.
Li Yuntian bowed slightly when he heard this, and chatted with Zheng Liang and others on the side about the affairs in Xiaohe Town, Li Yi'an saw this and quickly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, it seems that Zhejiang Sansi has escaped this catastrophe.
Gong Rui and Liu Minyu, who were standing behind, noticed Li Yi'an's action of wiping sweat, and the two couldn't help but glance at each other secretly, and then a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth: Li Yi'an's trouble has just begun, and he is a little too happy now.
Early the next morning, Li Yuntian and his entourage set off to return to the county seat, and at this time the streets were already crowded with people, and the black pressure was full of onlookers.
The people who appeared on the street were not only the townspeople of Xiaohe Town, but also the people who came from other places, and they were pouring into Xiaohe Town, and the news that Li Yuntian had appeared in Xiaohe Town and punished the bully Zhou Renshan spread all over the township almost overnight.
Due to the large number of onlookers on the street, Xiaowujun had to increase manpower to maintain order at the scene, when Li Yuntian's carriage drove into the street where the people were located, the scene immediately resounded with earth-shattering cheers, and many people's emotions became excited, squeezing forward to see Li Yuntian.
In addition to the Xiaowu Army, He Yunyi and other squires and businessmen in Xiaohe Town also organized young and middle-aged people overnight to help the Xiaowu Army maintain order, otherwise it would be really difficult to face so many people with the words of the Xiaowu Army alone, after all, this is on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and it is close to the Dinghai County Ya, which has hoarded heavy troops, so Yuntian did not bring many troops with him this time.
Li Yuntian sat in the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, listening to the cheers one after another, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and it was enough for him to get the support of the people, which could be described as the greatest reward.
"Lord Wang, please call the shots for the small people, the small people's grievances are as deep as the sea!" Suddenly, a mournful voice came from outside the window.
"Please ask the prince to avenge the little people!"
"Lord Wang, Xiaomin's son is wronged!"
"Lord Wang, my son really didn't collude with the Japanese Kou!"
……
Immediately, the cheers at the scene were mixed with some shouts of injustice, and the tone was sad and sounded very harsh.
"Alas!" Li Yuntian slowly opened his eyes when he heard this, and sighed a little helplessly, although he had long expected this scene to happen, but when this matter really came, there was an indescribable gloom in his heart.
Then, Li Yuntian picked up a small mallet beside him and knocked on the carriage of the carriage, and the two-wheeled carriage stopped immediately.
When Li Yuntian lifted the curtain of the carriage and came out of it, the noisy scene gradually quieted down, and people stretched out their heads to look at Li Yuntian, all wanting to see what the dignified King Zhongwu looked like.
In the imagination of the people, Li Yuntian should be a majestic and fierce middle-aged man, no one thought that the person who appeared in front of them would be a gentle and elegant young man, if it weren't for so many Xiaowu military escorts, I'm afraid no one would recognize this young son as the famous Zhongwu King.
But after thinking about it, everyone was relieved, although Li Yuntian was awarded the title of prince by virtue of his outstanding military exploits, but in the final analysis, he is a jinshi with the title of the gold list, and he is an out-and-out civil official, so he naturally looks polite.
In the crowd on both sides of the road, there were some people kneeling with white belts on their heads, and when they saw Li Yuntian coming out, they all held up the shape in their hands, and they all looked sad and angry, and their eyes were full of sadness and expectation when they looked at Li Yuntian.
As soon as Li Yuntian's carriage stopped, the carriages following behind stopped one after another, and when they learned that Li Yuntian's accused person had blocked the way, Zheng Liang, Li Yi'an and others got out of the car and rushed to check.
After noticing that there were many people kneeling on both sides of the road, Li Yi'an and the other chief officials of the Zhejiang Third Division turned pale with a brush, while Gong Rui and Liu Minyu glanced at each other knowingly, and a subtle smile flashed at the corner of their mouths.
As for Zheng Liang and other officials from Nanjing, they stood there quietly and watched the changes, anyway, this is the boundary of Zhejiang, no matter how big things happen, they have nothing to do with Nanzhili.
"What do you have to do with it?" After Zheng Liang and his party arrived, Li Yuntian glanced at the people who were holding high, and asked in a deep voice with a stern expression.
"Lord Wang, Xiaomin is a person from Shangguan Town, Dinghai County, after the Japanese invaded the city's freight yard, the two grandsons of the family were encouraged to go with others to steal the goods, and later they were framed by the people of Dinghaiwei as a fellow Japanese colleague and killed on the spot."
A thin old man with white hair said to Li Yuntian with a sad face when he heard this, "Lord Wang, Xiaomin knows that stealing goods violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but they only took a few pieces of cloth, and the crime is not to death, and it has nothing to do with the Japanese Kou. ”
"Lord Wang, Xiaomin is from Xiaguan Town, Dinghai County, Xiaomin's son did not follow the people in the village to steal goods from the freight yard, but the people of Dinghaiwei also framed him as a fellow Japanese party, and he was killed on the way back to Dinghaiwei Yamen." Then, a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face kowtowed heavily to Li Yuntian and shouted, "Lord Wang, the little people are wronged!" ”
"Lord Wang, the woman is from Baiguan Town, Dinghai County, and the servant of the county government of Dinghai County framed Xiaomin's son as the eyeliner of the widows, Xiaomin's son was beaten to death by them because he did not admit his guilt, and Xiaomin's daughter-in-law was also arrested and put in prison, and suffered ****, begging the prince to give Xiaomin justice."
Then, a middle-aged woman with gray temples cried and kept kowtowing to Li Yuntian, "The son of the people's woman is gone, if the daughter-in-law also dies in prison, then who will support the grandson and granddaughter of the family in the future!" ”
……
As Li Yuntian asked, the people holding the form spoke one after another, crying about their experiences with sad and angry expressions, which made the atmosphere at the scene suddenly tense and depressing, and the faces of Li Yi'an and other chief officials of the three divisions of Zhejiang became more and more ugly.
Li Yuntian's brows furrowed tightly, and it can be clearly understood from the accusations of the people who "blocked the road" that Dinghaiwei and Dinghai County had done such things as framing the good, killing innocent people indiscriminately, and killing the good and taking the merit after the Japanese raided the city's shipyard.
As for the reason for this, it is very simple, one is to escape responsibility, and the other is to ask the court for credit.
Because there were many people at the scene who were holding up the complaints, they could still tell one after another at first, but it didn't take long for the excited complainants to rush up and complain about their grievances, which made the scene gradually become noisy, and it was impossible to hear what they said at all.
Seeing this, Li Yuntian stretched out his hand and pressed down, and the scene quickly regained calm.
"This king has decided to accept your complaints at the county government of Dinghai County, and those who have grievances can go to the county government to register and make a register, and this king will thoroughly investigate them at that time." Under the concerned gaze of everyone, Li Yuntian announced loudly to the people on the street, and then ordered Lei Ting, who was standing aside, in a deep voice, "If anyone dares to obstruct the people's justice, they will be severely punished!" ”
After speaking, Li Yuntian turned around and got into the carriage expressionlessly, Zheng Liang and the others also hurriedly returned to their respective cars, and the convoy started slowly.
"Thank you, Lord Wang!"
After getting Li Yuntian's promise, those who complained couldn't help but be overjoyed, and some cried with joy, and kowtowed to the back of the departing convoy: With Li Yuntian's words, they would be relieved, because they believed that Li Yuntian would definitely be able to give them justice.
