I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 250 It’s too many to write about! Eighteen large pieces of paper listing the charges

In the living room of Fourth Master Cao's house.

A group of businessmen kept insulting Su Liang with angry faces.

"This...this...isn't what a scholar-bureaucrat did. Without trial or conviction, he just closed down the shop and arrested the person. We...we went to Bianjing City to sue him!"

"How unreasonable! Is there any king's law in the world? He Su Liang did such powerful things when he returned to his hometown. If he is buried in Yangzhou in the future, our descendants will dig his grave!"

"Amitabha! He Su Liang is simply a robber. What mistake did my uncle make? He treated a monk like this. I want to curse him to death!"

"He doesn't take our merchants in Yangzhou City seriously at all. He arrests whoever he wants. It's simply lawless. Are all our officials in the Song Dynasty such rogues?"

……

A group of loudmouths yelled and cursed.

But no one dared to go to Yangzhou Yamen to seek explanation from Su Liang.

Businessmen knew the laws of the Song Dynasty best and were very good at wandering around the edges.

They are not afraid of officials who are reasonable, but they are afraid of officials like Su Liang who do not follow the rules.

Fourth Master Cao sat on the big chair. After thinking for a moment, he slowly stood up.

The businessmen immediately stopped talking and looked at him.

Fourth Master Cao looked at a monk from Kongshan Temple and said: "You Kongshan Temple first sent people to the state government to question why the treasury was closed and the people were arrested. After we understand the situation, if we still don't release them today, we will go to the state government together tomorrow." The government officials asked, "If Su Liang still doesn't give us an explanation, we will start a strike, and we will both gain and lose!"

The monk looked angry and said with some dissatisfaction: "According to our contract, shouldn't everyone go to the state government together to question us now?"

Fourth Master Cao has not spoken yet.

A businessman stood up and explained: "The contract stipulates that any one of us will be treated unfairly. It has not yet been proven what happened to Kongshan Temple. What if he is arrested for other things? You go first Ask for clarification.”

"That makes perfect sense."

"I don't think there's any problem either."

"Yes, your Kongshan Temple may have made a mistake elsewhere!"

……

Everyone agreed.

The reason why they are so picky about words is that everyone wants to let the people from Kongshan Temple explore the way first.

Otherwise, if they go there rashly and follow Su Liang's rough approach, they will most likely be punished.

Also.

The reputation of Monk Kongshan Temple in the eyes of businessmen is not very good.

Monk Hui Ben is too profit-oriented.

He did a lot of dirty things in private.

He thought he had hidden it well, but in fact it was just that the businessmen did not want to offend him and did not spread the word.

The monk muttered: Amitabha, and then left quickly.

Mr. Cao Si looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, please go back first. If we need to go to the state government office tomorrow to question, I, Cao Si, will definitely be at the front!"

All the merchants handed over their hands and left Cao's house.

Fourth Master Cao has always been loyal, and the businessmen are still very convinced by his words.

If Mr. Cao was arrested today, the businessmen might have already surrounded the gate of the state government.

……

afternoon.

Several great monks and a group of warehouse clerks gathered in front of the gate of the state government office, shouting that they wanted the government to close the shop and arrest the person.

When the monks made a fuss, many people gathered around them.

For a time, the entire government office was surrounded by water.

And this moment.

Su Liang was drinking tea leisurely in the back hall.

Su Shunyuan, the magistrate of Yangzhou, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

He came to Su Liang and said, "Jing Ming, after you poked such a big hole, what are you going to do next? You can't just ignore it, right? How should people be tried and sentenced? We don't even have a pleading."

"Master Huiben is very vindictive. When he gets out, a group of people who borrowed money will suffer!"

"If you haven't thought about it, how about I explain it first and let them leave first, and then we can discuss countermeasures?"

……

After a while.

When Su Shunyuan said that he had no energy left, he had to sit aside.

Su Liang quickly poured him a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Brother Caiweng, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, I will definitely give you an explanation in half an hour at most."

In the past few days, Su Liang gradually got to know Su Shunyuan's personality and work style through getting along with him.

This person is very honest. He is not tactful or worldly, but thinks of the people in everything.

But I'm a little afraid of things.

And don't dare to do anything that goes beyond the rules.

At first, Su Liang didn't believe him, but now he feels that he will not collude with businessmen.

Outside the state government.

More and more people gathered, and the shouting became louder and louder.

Half an hour later, Cao Hu ran into the back hall and said excitedly: "Su Yushi, it's done!"

"Okay! Let Su Zhizhou take a look first." Su Liang said with a smile.

After a while.

More than ten Forbidden Army soldiers came over, each holding a large piece of paper nearly six feet long and three feet wide. The large paper was full of words, and the ink had just dried.

After the soldiers were arranged in order, Su Shunyuan looked at them seriously.

After a while, the expression on his face changed.

At the moment, there were eighteen large pieces of paper placed in front of him.

On the paper were written various things that Kongshan Temple had done that violated the law.

Except for high-interest loans.

They also used tricks to make foreign businessmen break contracts, buy and sell people, open casinos and brothels in Haizhou, Mingzhou, and Hangzhou, sell illegal salt and alcohol, and transport prohibited items to overseas businessmen...

There are piles of piles, huge and small.

Su Shunyuan still knew some things, but the final result was completely different from what he saw.

The writings are even detailed, making it difficult for them to be forged evidence.

In addition, several events occurred six or seven years ago.

This made Su Shunyuan feel very incredible. He clearly didn't see what Su Liang did, but the latter was able to find out what happened six or seven years ago. It was really amazing.

These crimes are simply too numerous to describe.

After Su Shunyuan finished reading, his legs were trembling and he asked doubtfully: "Jing Ming, how did you discover these... these crimes?"

Su Liangdao: "It was just an accident. Next, I will order people to post these eighteen large pieces of paper to let the whole city know. As for how to fully implement these crimes and form a case, I will leave it to Brother Caiweng!" "

"No problem." Su Shunyuan nodded heavily, his forehead already covered with beads of sweat.

The monks of Kongshan Temple committed such evil crimes, but Su Shunyuan had no idea about it, which was obviously a serious dereliction of duty.

After a while.

Just when the crowd was bustling at the gate of the state government office, Cao Hu led people out of the government office and pasted the eighteen large pieces of paper on the lime wall on one side.

Everyone gathered to watch.

At this moment, Su Liang also walked out.

After he came to Yangzhou, his original plan was to scare Fourth Master Cao first, and then negotiate with him. If that didn't work, he would try harder.

Never thought about it.

Cao Hu met a spy from the Imperial City Division who was buying sulfur in Yangzhou, and one of the merchants trading with the Imperial City Division was Monk Hui Ben.

When cooperating with others, the Imperial City Division must know the root cause, so they started investigating Monk Huiben three months ago.

The more we investigate, the more problems we find.

The Imperial City Division has many means, a lot of money, and can access many files, so it has investigated a lot of criminal evidence.

After Su Liang learned about this, he changed his plan.

I thought that I would first attack Monk Huiben, a heinous monk, to shock the merchants in Yangzhou, and then discuss in detail how to cooperate.

Su Liang looked at the people's comments and smiled.

He has achieved his goal.

"Yu Shi Su is so amazing. He was able to find out everything that happened six or seven years ago!"

"These businessmen are going to die. They must have done a lot of bad things."

"I didn't expect these monks to be so shameless. They are really... really... worse than animals!"

……

Su Liang did not tell Su Shunyuan this reason, nor would he tell anyone.

He wants to make all businessmen in Yangzhou City fear his almost "omniscient" method.

If there are any businessmen who dare to confront him.

The next thing taped to the plaster wall was his crime.
