Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Huang Dun said loudly: "Kill Wang Dequan, the scholar of Wangjia Village in Jiangning County!"

At this moment, Huang Dun felt an inexplicable sense of justice in his heart. Even though the person standing in front of him was Marquis Dinghai, the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, he was only an honorable nobleman and a martial artist.

I can't control him as the county magistrate.

In addition, he is here to capture a murderer. If Marquis Dinghai dares to continue to obstruct him, he can directly snatch the person away or even file a lawsuit!
To cover up the murderer or to kill a local gentry with a good reputation, the officials in the court and the common people in the capital would definitely support him as the magistrate of Jiangning County.

He can even use this skill to promote his Jing Cha to the top this year!
Thinking about it, Huang Dun's heart suddenly felt hot.

Guo An sneered, "Weren't you still talking just now? Then Wang Dequan is not dead yet?"

"Okay, that Wang Dequan dared to lead a group of evil servants to attack me, but he was repelled by me. I spared his life, which is already considered merciful!"

Now, take these bastards of yours and leave my fiefdom! "

Huang Dun's face changed slightly, but he still looked stubborn, "Master Hou, this thief committed the murder in broad daylight, and the person who was beaten was Wang Dequan, a well-known scholar in Jiangning. He is such a treacherous and evil person..."

Guo An was speechless. How could there be such a lookless official in the capital, or an official from one parent?

"Did you not understand what I said?"

Huang Dunyi said sternly: "Master Hou, as the official parent of one hundred thousand people in Jiangning County, I have to protect their safety!"

"What a righteous and awe-inspiring parent officer!"

Zhu Di was also laughed out of anger. He originally wanted to investigate thoroughly before making a decision on how to deal with the newly appointed magistrate of Jiangning County.

As a result, he didn't expect that this person would still hold on to him?
"You are so anxious to get us charged with crimes. It turns out you are the same thief as that evil gentry!"

"How dare you insult your parents?"

Huang Dun's eyes widened and he stared at Zhu Di angrily, somewhat in disbelief.

Immediately, he raised his hand towards Gong Gong and said, "Master Hou, no wonder this is so rude!"

The corners of Guo An's mouth twitched slightly and he turned to look at Zhu Di.

"Guo Qing, capture this traitorous officer for us!"

"Guo Qing?"

Huang Dun was startled, then thought of something, and his expression changed drastically.

On the side, Guo An shouted angrily at Huang Dun: "Huang Dun, quickly surrender and come to see your majesty.

If not, don’t blame me for being ruthless! "

At this time, hundreds of men had quietly gathered around Huang Dun and others.

Even if Huang Dun and others want to fight to the death, they don't have to worry about any accidents.

"His Majesty?"

Huang Dun trembled all over and looked at Zhu Di with fear on his face.

Behind him, everyone's expressions also changed drastically.

They never expected that the murderer Huang County Zun of Jiangning County, who had been scolding for a long time, was actually the current His Majesty!
"Grassmen see Your Majesty!"

"..."

Everyone knelt down quickly.

Huang Dun's face turned pale, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground with a puff, saluting to Zhu Di repeatedly.

"Huang Dun, the magistrate of Jiangning County, is here to see Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please tell me that the scholar Wang Dequan has a good reputation in Jiangning County. After hearing the report, someone committed an attack on him, so he hurriedly brought a group of government officials over...

Wei Chen never expected that Wang Dequan was so audacious that he dared to offend his superiors and cause trouble. His subordinates even dared to deceive Wei Chen and slander His Majesty. He should be punished with death! "

"Humph!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly, not wanting to listen to Huang Dun's shameless sophistry.

"Come here, capture this thief and let us investigate his crimes thoroughly before convicting him!"

"According to the order!"

Jiang Hu directly led two chamberlains, stepped forward, and took Huang Dun into custody.

"Your Majesty has learned clearly that the humble minister has done nothing wrong. Your Majesty has learned clearly..."

"No fault?" Zhu Di smiled faintly, "Okay, stop making excuses, I'm tired of hearing this.

Among other things, Wang Dequan oppressed the people and committed many evil deeds. He even resorted to lynching, killing and subjugating the people, and deducted the relief money and food distributed by the court. He should die.

And you, the dignified magistrate of Jiangning County, did not protect you, but when you heard that he was beaten, you immediately led a group of government servants and gentry to condemn people to death indiscriminately...

You, a thief official, how can you say you are innocent?
Today, luckily I met you!

Otherwise, even if you meet any official, dignitary or businessman, you, a thief official, will succeed, and it will be added to your political achievements!
Don't worry, I will let the Jin Yiwei thoroughly investigate you, as well as the thieves and gentry around you, I will never wrong anyone, nor will I let anyone go..."

After hearing this, Wu Dianshi, the gentry, and all the government servants and healthy servants were all frightened and knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Your Majesty, please spare your life. Your Majesty, spare your life. This villain is a good citizen and is innocent!"

"Your Majesty, the humble minister is also innocent... Your Majesty, that Wang Dequan is different from ordinary people. Your Majesty, the humble minister is doing all this for the Ming Dynasty and for your Majesty..."

Zhu Di couldn't help but became furious, "Slap me in the face. At this moment, you are still making such quibbles. It's really disgusting!"

"Crack, crack..."

Jiang Hu stepped forward directly, raised his palm, and slapped it on Huang Dun's face.

The sound was so crisp that hundreds of people surrounding it could hear it clearly.

As for Huang Dun, he only felt the burning pain on his face, and he was extremely ashamed and angry in his heart.

While wailing, his face was full of dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty, I am so innocent, why did Your Majesty insult me ​​like this?
After all, Wei Chen was also a Jinshi and a court official!

Since I took office, I have worked hard and dedicated myself to the court, never accepted bribes, and worked hard to govern!

However, His Majesty treats the subordinates like nothing, and beats and humiliates them like this in front of all the common people, craftsmen, and merchants. Is this what your father did? "

"It is said that if the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, but the minister will never think that he is wrong.

Over the years, the princes in the court have been frightened by His Majesty's power and dare not speak out some advice. But today, the humble minister knows that he will inevitably die, so he will give advice! "

"Since your Majesty came to the throne, not only has he been close to many nobles, but he has also made extensive use of officials and military generals in Prince Yan's Mansion in Peiping.

Not only do they not have any talent, they don't even have any fame, but they are deeply favored by His Majesty and even get high positions.

As for the talented people like Wei Chen who have worked hard to study the books of sages for decades, not only did they not gain the trust of His Majesty, but it was extremely difficult to be promoted. After finally seeing a glimmer of hope, His Majesty actually let those who only have the reputation of being scholars in the Yan State Officials came to Ming Dynasty to hold high positions..."

"Your Majesty's move is so hurtful... and there is Wang Dequan. This man has a good reputation. Whenever the county needs food, builds bridges, paves roads, or conducts academic research, Wang Dequan will give generously.

In addition, this man often helped the people, and was praised by everyone as a wise man in the local area. Today, he was seriously injured and was about to die.

As a parent official, Wei Chen, how can I not be anxious and angry..."

"Wei Chen was anxious for a moment and was a little impulsive towards Your Majesty. This crime must be admitted by Wei Chen.

However, Your Majesty knows that the Marquis of Dinghai next to you builds houses on a large scale in Jiangjun Mountain. He uses money and food to lure craftsmen and laborers, attracting people to run to Jiangjun Mountain.

This year alone, Jiangning County has lost count of how many acres of land it has left uncultivated...

In a few years, our Jiangning County will no longer have enough people to serve as corvees, and countless acres of fertile land will be left uncultivated...

Your Majesty did not punish the people who brought such trouble to the Ming Dynasty, but instead came to insult the ministers. Is it possible that Your Majesty really doesn't care about the common people in the world or the country of your ancestors? "

The more Huang Dun talked, the louder and louder he became.

In his mind, he was the most loyal official to the Ming Dynasty and a wise minister.Everything he did was for the sake of Ming Dynasty and all the people in the world.

"What a loyal minister!"

Zhu Di couldn't help but praise loudly, which made Huang Dun feel happy.

Unfortunately, Zhu Di's next words made his expression change drastically.

"You are so ridiculous waiting for these thieves.

Previously, when Emperor Taigaozu killed you and other corrupt officials, you cried and complained that your salary was too small to support your family.

But now, I have given you a salary increase and a year-end bonus to you, but you are still not satisfied. You have joined forces with the evil gentry one by one to oppress and exploit the people. How can you have the dignity to say that you are unfair?
Why do you have the shame to feel aggrieved and complain that I don’t trust you?
Based on what you, a thief official, have done, how can I dare to trust you?

If you are wiser, I will let those officials from Yan State come all the way to the capital? "

"You know what you have done, even if I robbed your house, it is not an exaggeration, but you still come to argue and provoke me like this. I really think I will let you go because of your words." ?
In other words, do you think that you and these dog officials can represent the Ming Dynasty? "
