The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 269 verbal punishment
Zheng Xiong didn't take any action, and all the prisoners who wanted to do something were suppressed, including those who spoke loudly.

And Zheng Xiong didn't care about these people, he didn't want to knock a sum of money from these people for such a hasty punishment, and Lao Zhu, a poor ghost, was part of the reason.

More importantly, the arrival of the Minister of Justice made Zheng Xiong feel a little more crisis.

Too much money makes people jealous, and the trials one by one are obviously time-consuming and laborious, which also gives more preparation time to the people behind the scenes.

Simply take the blame, act first, and seal the road for them.

In this way, the whole thing is done, saving Wang Xing's troubles, and also saving his own troubles.

Seeing that the situation gradually calmed down, Zheng Xiong didn't say much, and said to Wang Xing.

"These people need to be detained by General Wang for another two days, and they will be arranged at the Japanese government, and then come to pick them up. See if there is any problem."

Of course there is a problem, what they eat is the rations of their own army, whoever has surplus food for them to eat for nothing, isn't it ridiculous!
Wang Xing's face was troubled, and he could tell just by looking at his expression. Seeing his hesitant to speak, Zheng Xiong asked suspiciously.

"Is there any difficulty, General Wang?"

Seeing Zheng Xiong asked, Wang Xing stopped hiding and spoke out about his difficulties.

"To be honest, people in the military camp eat horse chews for a fixed number of times. It's okay to say that for a day or two, I told the soldiers under my command to tighten their stomachs. It's no problem to save some rations and distribute them to them."

"But this time can't be too long, otherwise the soldiers will be hungry, and it will be difficult to explain in the end."

I thought there was any difficulty, but this is relatively simple, take it from the people, use it for the people, and the stolen money collected is enough for these people to eat.

In addition, I have already thought about the whereabouts of these people, and I will wait until tomorrow to see the reaction of the court, so the time is not too long.

Zheng Xiong immediately gave a reply.

"One day at the earliest, two or three days at most. If the rations are not enough, the government will order people to bring the rations over. Look good."

Needless to say, of course it is possible.

"Okay, if that's the case, the last general will be fine here."

Seeing that the matter was handled well, Zheng Xiong didn't linger, and left immediately.

In the morning court the next day, Zheng Xiong appeared in the court hall with dark circles under his eyes and an appearance that he had not slept well.

With the promotion of status, there is a place specially equipped with a warming fire, but it is not very cold.

The hall is also warmer, this morning is not as painful as before.

But too many people have been offended, and he does things regardless of the consequences. Yesterday he said no to the Minister of Criminal Affairs, which attracted the attention of many people, and Zheng Xiong's exclusion can be clearly seen.

In the queue of civil officials, Zheng Xiong silently walked to the front of the fourth-rank officials according to his official position.

In the field, the Huaixi faction accounted for the majority, and most of them misused money, so it was mostly these people who remained malicious towards Zheng Xiong.

Such obvious exclusion, except for a few neutral people, has attracted the attention of a group of people headed by Liu Bowen in the eastern Zhejiang faction.

As the vanguard of Lao Zhu's suppression of the Huaixi faction, the Zhedong faction is in a weak position, but it is more prudent and cleaner in its actions.

After all, in order to face counterattacks from the Huaixi faction at all times, he had to stand upright, otherwise he would be easily suppressed by the Huaixi faction with many people.

Now that Zheng Xiong has suddenly emerged, and the rectification of the gambling house has caused a lot of trouble, the Huaixi faction, which is in a weak position, is showing great splendor to Zheng Xiong.

Such a new force is a talent with unlimited potential in the future. As long as he doesn't die young, he will surely shine.

Because of Zheng Xiong's suppression of gambling houses, the Huaixi faction was hit even more, so the East Zhejiang faction paid more attention to Zheng Xiong, a newly promoted senior official.

If Zheng Xiong can be won over, it will be a great supplement to the Zhedong faction.

Moreover, Ying Tian Mansion, which is in control of this important place in the capital, is also convenient for suppressing the Huaixi faction.

Although he didn't speak to Zheng Xiong before, judging from Zheng Xiong's two shots, Zheng Xiong has already fallen into the eyes of the Eastern Zhejiang faction.

In addition to the slightly friendly eyes, there is also a little more scrutiny.

I don't know how long it took, when Zheng Xiong was drowsy, a voice resounded in his ears, awakening Zheng Xiong.

Following the flow, pay homage to Lao Zhu.

"Long live, long live, Your Majesty."

"No gift, flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After some routine etiquette, the next step is to get down to business.

Of course, there is not only one Zheng Xiong in the court, there are countless things, and Zheng Xiong is not the first person to be named.

First of all, Lao Zhu raised the topic, and the senior officials in the palace discussed it.

Afterwards, starting from the senior officials in the hall, one by one they raised issues and reported various matters to Lao Zhu, so that Lao Zhu could understand the situation.

If there is something difficult to decide, Lao Zhu will be required to make a ruling.

At the beginning, there was no wave in Gujing, and everything was just a normal discussion, without Zheng Xiong at all.

But as the Minister of the Ministry of Justice began to report, things began to come to Zheng Xiong's place.

"Your Majesty, I want to sue Zheng Xiong, the governor of the Yingtian Mansion, that he disrespects the orders of his superiors, behaves arrogantly, and behaves unceasingly, making him a governor in vain."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Zheng Xiong in unison, and many people still had a playful look on their faces.

And Lao Zhu also looked in Zheng Xiong's direction, and said to Zheng Xiong.

"Zheng Xiong, what do you have to say about what the Minister of Criminal Justice said?"

Zheng Xiong walked out of the queue, saluted Lao Zhu, and then looked at Shang Shudao of the Ministry of Punishment.

"The Ministry of Criminal Justice has blatantly intervened in the affairs that our government can handle, and the minister is required to hand over the proceeds from the seizure of the gambling house to him."

"What I have done is completely in accordance with the law. I don't think it is inappropriate to crack down on gambling houses, but the Criminal Department wants to take over the matter."

"I don't know what it means, but what the Ministry of Punishment has done is disgusting."

"Therefore, I refuse to accept the order of the Ministry of Punishment, and I ask His Majesty to order it."

Zheng Xiong's answer was obviously unsatisfactory, isn't it a joke if you refuse to accept it?

They are all like you, so who will obey orders at the first level?

Such a bad start was unacceptable, and it was a group of officials who were dissatisfied with Zheng Xiong, and the verbal criticism came in an instant.

"Little Huangkou, talk nonsense, if the Ministry of Punishment can't manage the prisons in your government office, what's the use of the six departments, just relying on your mouth?"

"A government office is so lawless and doesn't know the order. If everyone follows suit, it will not be against him. It's really a shame."

Just for a while, two people reprimanded loudly, and the one behind who was waiting to speak was ready to move, grabbing Zheng Xiong's words and trying to put him in a situation where he could never recover.

"Zheng Xiong's words confuse the court and disrespect orders. The position of governor must not be handed over to this yellow-mouthed boy. Your Majesty please make a holy judgment."

"My minister agrees."

"The minister also agrees."

After a while, it was all proposals to pull Zheng Xiong down, and there were quite a few of them.

Zheng Xiong, who was outraged by the public, except for the neutral people, that is, the people from the eastern Zhejiang faction did not speak out, which seemed to be pushing the wall down.
