After Yan Li's close cooperation, the magistrate smoothly distributed one tael of silver to the common people, and gave imperial envoy Rong Chang'an a document of ten taels of silver per household.
The task was completed very smoothly, and several adults came to report to Rong Changan.
The magistrate took the lead and said, "Reporting to the imperial envoy, the Anjia silver in the jurisdiction has been distributed, and the confirmation document has been handed over to Lord Yan. Those victims are grateful and thank the emperor for his grace!"
Another adult continued, "Yes, General Rong, the people still asked me to tell the general to kowtow to the general!"
When Rong Changan heard this, he continued, "Who is going to kowtow to me? Bring it up for me to see."
The magistrate concealed the joy on his face, lowered his head and replied, "It's a little girl near the east gate, Xiao Qiao, who thanked the general for bringing food and money."
Rong Changan sat on the main seat, his expression was still so indifferent, and he ordered, "Bring it up!"
The magistrate thought over every detail again and confirmed that there would be absolutely no problem, but he still felt something was wrong, as if something was going to happen.
A little girl in rags was brought up. Rong Changan had indeed seen her when he was distributing food at the gate of the city.
The magistrate saw the little girl staring at the imperial envoy in a daze, and urged, "Xiao Qiao, this is the imperial envoy, hurry up and kowtow to him."
Seeing being urged, the little girl Xiaoqiao timidly kowtowed, but did not speak.
Seeing that the little girl had forgotten her lines, the subordinates behind the magistrate reminded, "Do you have anything else you want to say to the imperial envoy? What are you here for?"
The little girl cried, "Help, my lord, they arrested my mother and asked me to tell lies. Every household in our village got one tael of silver, and they asked me to say that I got ten taels of silver. I beg the imperial envoy to save me quickly." Save my mother!"
After the little girl finished speaking, she was already crying!
And the magistrate, who thought he was safe, turned pale at this time, and gave the subordinates behind him a fierce look, as if his eyes could kill people.
The magistrate quickly adjusted his thoughts, and looked at Yan Li who was beside the imperial envoy asking for help.
But when he saw Yan Li was looking at him as if he were an enemy, the magistrate, who had no plans to spare, wanted to understand something.
For example, why the imperial envoy didn't ask about everything when the settlement fee was issued, why things went so smoothly, and why the little girl who had already agreed to it suddenly backtracked, such as the gloomy faces of the two imperial envoys at this time.
"Come here, send an order." Yan Li's majestic voice came out.
The imperial envoy's ruling was read out by the accompanying secretary, "Master Li Youde, master Li Zhong, secretary Qin Mo, county magistrate Qiao Shan... and other 18 officials are suspected of embezzling and perverting the law, withholding resettlement funds in the disaster area. In. According to the law of Dajing, the sentence is to be beheaded, and the execution will be executed at noon tomorrow."
Everyone involved in them was included in the documents to be dealt with, not a single one was missing, the magistrate slumped to the ground, it's over, it's over!
The magistrate did not appeal for injustice, because Yan Li was very sure of his crimes, and it was useless to appeal for injustice.
And his other subordinates shouted loudly for injustice.
"General, you are wronged! The subordinates are forced, they are all the magistrate, he forced us to withhold money, we can't do it if we don't want to!"
"My lord, please forgive me, the subordinate is wronged! The subordinate did not do such a rebellious thing!"
The prefect's brother-in-law, Qin Mo, also shouted for grievances, "Master Imperial Envoy, please forgive me! My brother-in-law has done this wicked thing several times, and we tried to persuade him again and again, but it didn't work. However, the lower officials have been secretly watching his actions, knowing that Where did he hide the money? Just wait for someone from Kyoto to report him one day!"
The magistrate originally thought that the money he had prepared would be enough for the family to give him a relationship, but now his brother-in-law said something bad, and he regretted telling such an unreliable brother-in-law such an important matter in his heart!
"Qin Mo, don't talk nonsense. You don't know where my money is, don't make trouble. Your sister really spoils you!" The magistrate originally thought that if he took out his wife, the brother-in-law would look at his sister's face Shut up.
Unexpectedly, Qin Mo was even more angry, "My sister? You still have the face to talk about my sister? She raised children for you and obeyed her parents. How did you treat her?"
The magistrate hurriedly persuaded, "She is my first wife, so I am naturally good to her."
Qin Mo also knew that there would be no good results for them, and the anger he had endured for several years was vented, "Yes, you are good to her. You will not enter her yard for a month, and carry the concubines home one by one. This is your kindness! At that time, my family was really blind to fall in love with you."
"What's wrong with me, I'm well educated and talented, and I've earned my life for your sister!" Li Youde also retorted, being despised by his brother-in-law.
Rong Changan and Yan Li looked at each other, then shook their heads understandingly.
The scene of the dog biting the dog is not so beautiful!
Rong Chang'an resolutely stopped this meaningless and fruitless bickering, "Qin Mo, be lenient when you confess, and strict when you resist. If you want to say something, just say it!"
Qin Mo took a hard look at his brother-in-law, who is now so destitute, and was very happy, "He hid all the money in the dry well under the old locust tree in the backyard, and covered it with hay. If you lift the hay, you can see The box inside."
The magistrate heard what his brother-in-law said, and knew that he had used up all his cards and had no capital to make a comeback.
After studying hard for ten years, now I have nothing, and I will be executed tomorrow. I feel very disappointed, as if I have been dreaming for years.
"Come on! Go search the backyard that Qin Mo said!" Yan Li ordered with a cold face.
The magistrate knew that he had been put on the same line, but he felt very uncomfortable when he didn't understand, "Yan Li, all this is your scheme? To plot against me?"
Yan Li didn't bother to pay attention to them at first, but looking at his decadent face, he replied, "You think too highly of yourself, a little magistrate, and it's worth my calculations. I'm an imperial envoy, just want to see how many people there are. The corrupt officials who have been corrupted are cleaned up by the way! It will save the people from harming the people in the future."
Li Youde understood in his heart, and let the Yulin Army put on shackles for him.
Eyes are dripping!
In the past, he also studied poetry and books hard to serve the country with inspiration!
In the past, he also did a few practical things for the people, and he was a good official who loved the people like a son for a while!
Once, he also...
All events are already stories of the past.
He was lost in the turbulent flow of power and desire, and gradually lost his true heart.
Today, he was beheaded by the imperial envoy on the charge of corrupt officials, and only then did he recall the beginning, the beginning, everything was so beautiful!
