Behind me is the earth

Chapter 496 494. Imprisoned and executed at a later date

This group of captains had such an evil spirit that the people who were watching immediately stepped back in shock to make way for a small path.

"Who is so arrogant?"

Governor Yue Lang couldn't help but frown when he saw this demeanor.

Standing outside the lobby, Chen Ming, who heard the movement behind him and turned to look, was trembling with fear! My legs couldn't help but feel a little weak.

Whether it's the powerful and gorgeous black robe or the Night Owl token hanging on his body, anyone who knows anything can recognize at a glance that these people are the famous Night Owl organization!

This organization is known by its name. It is a secret service organization that hides in the dark. It represents the authority of the King both internally and externally. It is like a sharp sword and a pair of wise eyes in the hands of the king. It can kill foreign enemies externally and monitor the subjects of the world internally.

The fact that the captain of this feared organization came here means that the king already knows what happened here.

The obese Yue Lang leaned forward and finally saw clearly who the group of people were. He couldn't help but tremble all over, and took two steps back as the fat on his body trembled.

Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same, but Meng Jin and Qiao Minshan were shocked when they saw this, and their whole bodies felt relaxed. The pressure that Chen Ming had imposed on them was relieved.

And when a handsome man also wearing black clothes walked in, Qiao Minshan and Meng Jin suddenly opened their mouths, unable to believe their eyes.

This person is so familiar.

But why did he appear here?

How can this be?

"Your Majesty!"

Qiao Minshan was the first to react and trotted out of the Yimen. He ran into the small courtyard and bent his knees to kneel down.

"No need to be polite."

Ren Pingsheng, who walked in with square steps, gave him a little help.

Before Qiao Minshan came to Chujiang Province, he was the magistrate of Qingzhou County. As a local official, he did not have many opportunities to contact the king. He did not know the king's personality, likes and dislikes. When the king spoke, he immediately stopped kneeling. , cupped his hands and bowed deeply.

"I see you, Your Highness!"

Ren Pingsheng walked forward. Chen Ming and Yue Lang also arrived at the entrance of the lobby and knelt on the ground with very solid knees.

Ren Pingsheng ignored the two of them, walked directly to the plaque hanging above the mirror, and sat on the official hat chair.

The accompanying guards had changed into black clothes. They were all tall and muscular, standing on both sides of the lobby. The entire lobby suddenly took on a chilling atmosphere.

Even the groggy Chen Xun regained some sense at this time, but he was tied to the bench and tried to kneel down but was unable to do so.

Chen Ming and the two quickly corrected their direction and continued to kneel on the ground.

At this time, the people watching were already stunned.

They thought it was just an ordinary afternoon, and they were called to see an ordinary case. Who would have thought that the high officials came one after another, and finally all the kings from Qidu came!

Someone took a sneak peek and saw that it looked very similar to the statue of King Qi at the train station. Moreover, the newly issued banknotes with a maximum value of 100 yuan have begun to use Ren Pingsheng's bust photo.

He is truly the king without a doubt!

The king, who in the past could only be seen on statues in the square and on banknotes, actually appeared in front of them.

This picture strongly impacted their minds, and many people subconsciously knelt on the ground.

"Come here."

Ren Pingsheng waved to Qiao Minshan and Meng Jin, and they quickly came over.

"Your Majesty!"

Qiao Minshan and Meng Jin stood next to each other with excited expressions.

In this way, the situation on the scene becomes very clear.

The panic on the faces of Chen Ming and Yue Lang, who were kneeling on the ground, could no longer be concealed.

Chen Ming's guards were at a loss as they stood in the lobby, looking confused. How could they have expected that things would take a turn for the worse and change so quickly that they were at a loss for what to do and where to go.

But immediately, these irrelevant people were kicked out.

It's still the plaque hanging high above the mirror, it's still the background of the Hai Qing He Yan picture, it's still the simple mahogany table, but as Ren Pingsheng sits down here, everything is different.

All fighting ceased.

Chen Ming and Yue Lang knelt on the ground, waiting for the final judgment.

"continue."

Ren Pingsheng motioned to Miss Yuhuan to continue.

The girl Yuhuan who was kneeling on the ground raised her head, her delicate face turning red.

Could it be that I am so handsome?

When Ren Pingsheng saw her appearance, he couldn't help but wonder.

"Well, Your Highness, Miss Yuhuan is not a spiritual alien, but a lightning alien."

Meng Jin whispered awkwardly.

Yue Lang, who was kneeling on the ground, also heard Meng Jin's words and suddenly reacted.

The psychic aliens are fake, these two people have made this game for them from the beginning! By publicly interrogating Chen Xun in the lobby, he was put in a urn and the people behind Chen Xun were exposed.

Qiao Minshan said: "Your Highness, we have already guessed the identity of this organization. Chen Xun and Yue Lang are both from Xinpan Province. We are here to publicly try Chen Xun, and secretly we have sent people to capture another key figure - the Buzheng Zhang Kun of the envoy.

This man is a close associate of Governor Yue and a native of Xinpan Province. He has close contacts with Chen Xun and Yue Lang on weekdays. "

Chen Ming and Yue Lang, who were kneeling in the hall, saw these two people singing and singing, as if they were already convicted criminals. Although they had already seen that the situation was not good and the situation was not good for them, Chen Ming was wronged at this time. He shouted: "Your Majesty, the green fruit is poisonous. Your Majesty has given you orders many times. How could we not know about it? We, the old ministers, are grateful for Your Majesty's kindness and will never do such a thing!"

The sudden appearance of the king broke all their arrangements.

Both of their calves were trembling, and their fate had slipped into an unpredictable dark abyss, but they still wanted to struggle before falling into the abyss.

Ren Pingsheng sat on the official hat chair and said nothing, looking at the two senior officials of Chujiang Province kneeling in the lobby with a half-smile.

Let them act here.

He knew the right and wrong better than everyone present.

Whether it is Yue Lang or Chen Ming, whether it is Chen Shan or Zhang Kun, all of this is under his observation. All the people affected by this case were under his observation. Now that he had a comprehensive grasp of the case, it was time to close the net, so he stood up.

Chen Ming and Chen Ming were shocked by the king's half-smiling expression. Kneeling and standing uneasily, the pressure in my heart gradually increased, my blood pressure also rose rapidly, and I felt that my blood was rushing straight to my brain. If I didn't have a good psychological quality, I might be frightened to death under this kind of pressure.

Soon, there was another noise outside Yimen.

The melons the people ate today were bigger than anything they had ever seen in their lives.

At this time, I saw groups of captains embroidered with gold patterns, escorting many people in. Some of them were still wearing official robes, and they were obviously taken directly from the duty rooms of the government offices.

There were so many of them that we couldn't even fit them in the lobby.

When Chen Ming and Chen Ming saw these people, their eyes swept over their gray faces one by one. They could no longer support their bodies and fell to the ground weakly. Their faces quickly turned pale and gray. Get defeated.

"Zhang Kun, Chief Envoy, Zuo Shenzhen, Liu Nan, Deputy Envoy, Ma Fenglin, Commander-in-Chief, Li Yuhu, Commander-in-Chief..."

Reading out the names one by one, there are a total of nineteen people!

There are seven people at the department level and above, and the rest are at the division level and above, including the governor-general of Chujiang Province, the chief envoy Si-yamen, the inspector-general Si-yamen, and the commander-in-chief Si-yamen, forming an extremely powerful team. Rights network.

"The correspondence, rosters, account books, witnesses and material evidence are conclusive. Chen Ming and Yue Lang, the amount of silver found from your two houses alone is 1.25 million taels!

What else can you two say? "

Huang Wenguang waved, and someone brought up a box containing rosters, account books, letters and other items.

Chen Ming and Yue Lang looked extremely familiar.

These items that they had hidden so deeply appeared in court openly. Thinking of what happened before, they felt their hairs stand on end, as if a pair of invisible eyes had been staring at them, and a huge feeling of fear came over them.

"Your Majesty, I don't dare to spend a penny!"

Chen Ming wailed, and finally some strength emerged from his body again, and he knelt on the ground, hitting his head on the floor.

One million two hundred and fifty thousand taels, according to the current purchasing power of food, is already equivalent to one hundred and twenty-five hundred million!

Nowadays, paper money has become popular, and spending large amounts of money directly will arouse suspicion. And because the money is black money, they dare not deposit it in the bank in their own name, so they hoard so much money in the house. of silver.

"You haven't spent much money. The cash found in your house is over five million. Do you dare to say that this is your salary?"

Huang Wenguang scolded.

"Your Majesty, we must survive too!"

Yue Lang cried: "We are all officials in the north. Unlike their officials in the south, we have fields, houses and ancestral property to rely on.

Our land, home, property, and people have all been taken over by barbarians. As an official in Chujiang Province, we have to maintain the dignity of our family. How can we maintain it with just our salary? "

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

A dozen officials behind him also cried and echoed.

Ren Pingsheng listened to these people's cries. When they finished speaking, they were speechless and all looked ugly.

"Pick their black yarn!"

Ren Pingsheng said.

"yes!"

Immediately, the captain stepped forward, took off the black gauze hats on their heads, stripped off the official uniforms they were wearing, and took back all the official badges and seals hanging from their waists.

All of them were wearing undershirts and looking sad, as if the most precious thing in their lives had been taken away.

"The imperial salary, the monthly salary of division-level officials in Chujiang Province is more than 32,000 yuan, and the monthly salary of department-level officials is more than 45,000 yuan. This is 16 times and 22 times that of ordinary workers. It is the highest salary for ordinary people. More than thirty times the land income.

Less? "

Ren Pingsheng asked.

The people below were silent.

"I know some of you are dissatisfied, because many of you own huge mansions and maintain dozens or hundreds of attendants.

Of course I think the salary is not enough. "

Ren Pingsheng's eyes swept across the faces of these people, and he saw some people showing expressions of deep approval.

"So, is this the reason why you commit crimes? Where does your salary come from? Who are your parents? Is this how you give back to the people under your rule? Raise criminal organizations and carry out criminal acts? Do you? Is the official just a man of wealth and indulgence?

Are you still an official of Qi State? Where do you place your court? Where do you people put it? I don't expect all of you to be a moral example, but I didn't expect that you don't have the slightest bottom line!

I have repeatedly issued orders and orders that the poison of green fruits must be eradicated, but I never thought that the officials under my administration would take the lead in buying and selling these things.

If you don't die, you will be lonely and uneasy! "

Ren Pingsheng's words were not intense and his voice was not high-pitched, but anyone could hear the anger in his tone.

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

Yue Lang kowtowed and cried.

"Press them all down and kill them at the right time."

Ren Ping waved his hand in low spirits.

Immediately, the school captains pulled all of these people down who were crying.

"Although this dynasty does not prohibit hiring servants, these things need to be done according to one's ability. I do not require that all of you are moral models, but you must have bottom-line thinking when you are an official. Once the landlord's official is bad, he will be corrupted. In the land, if one of the chief officials is broken, the world will be corrupted.

Water can carry a boat but also capsize it. Without the hearts of all people in the world, we are like duckweed without roots, water without a source, and a tree without roots. "

Ren Pingsheng said to Qiao Minshan and Meng Jin.

"That's what His Highness taught you."

The two said quickly.

"sit down."

Ren Pingsheng said.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The two sat down on the left and right sides, but they only dared to sit halfway up their buttocks, straightening their backs, as if they were students.

"This case also involves a military factory under the Manufacturing Bureau. This case has been transferred to the Ministry of Industry for processing, so you don't have to worry."

Ren Pingsheng said: "Next, we will use this case to rectify issues such as officials and noble families in Chujiang Province."

The case has been concluded. Using this case to achieve greater goals is what Ren is thinking about now.

Now, the cases committed by more than 20 Northland officials represented by Chen Ming and Yue Lang provide an excuse for this.

"Jinshan County is the southern capital of Jiujing, and the officialdom here is particularly complicated. Last year, one was to fight the war and maintain local stability, and the other was because of insufficient preparations and insufficient backing officials, leaving a large number of Jiujing officials behind. Now these There were many problems among the old officials, many of whom were not adapted to the new system.

One is conservative and stubborn in thinking, and does not understand and support Qi's ideology, politics, economy, culture, etc.

The second is lack of ability, insufficient knowledge, no experience in systematic education, no exposure to new knowledge systems, and complacency, and unscientific decision-making.

The three work styles are floating, lax and unreliable, and there is a lot of corruption, which will not stop after the new dynasty.

Now that domestic politics has stabilized, it is time to manage these officials. "

Ren Pingsheng looked at Qiao Minshan and the two of them and said.

I drank a bottle of coffee today and felt that there was something wrong with the coffee. My hands were shaking, my brain was very excited, my body was floating, and I was particularly uncomfortable. As a result, I was in a bad state and couldn't write anymore. I have been writing this chapter until now, so I will post it first. , everyone, take a look, if there is a bug, or if you don’t like it, you can leave a message and I will modify it tomorrow!
