The county government finally compensated the dead and injured in the road accident. Among them, those who were killed or injured in normal service were paid according to the normal government pension standards, and those who were "disordered" by the household department were given double compensation. Although the accident on the road was not directly related to the county government appointing the wrong person, after all, they should not serve in the military, and the legal principles are nothing more than human feelings.
When the pension was issued, the county magistrate Hua Qingfeng personally went from house to house and handed out the pension to the families of the victims. The tax and corvee of the household for the next year.
Of course, the county magistrate has no right to decide who to exempt from taxes for the court. This power belongs to the emperor. Only the emperor can order the exemption of taxes or corvee. Hua Qingfeng's exemption is a disguised exemption. In fact, the county government raises funds to pay on its behalf.
Those rascals who took advantage of the road to make trouble are still locked up in the big prison, and the prison boss is also Xu Boyi's, and Xu Boyi can release people as long as he gives an order. But these people have been confirmed as causing trouble on purpose, Xu Boyi can secretly provoke them, but he can't disclose his relationship with them, so he has to wrong them to spend more time in prison, if they are fished out, what will happen? is too obvious.
In this way, it would be difficult for Xu Boyi to send other people to make troubles. Hua Qingfeng's compensation move saved him a lot of impression points among the common people. In particular, Hua Qingfeng announced at the end that a stone tablet would be erected on the post road, engraved with the list of those who died in the road disaster, and their achievements would be recorded forever. He hurried forward and helped them up one by one.
"What a good people, as long as the government shows a little favor, they are so reasonable."
Hua Qingfeng was deeply moved, and his eyes couldn't help moistening for a while: "Folks, in the south, our Ming soldiers are fighting bloody battles with the invading Burmese. To ensure the smooth flow of post roads is to protect our army to the greatest extent." Combat strength, these victims all sacrificed their lives for the country, and deserve such courtesy! In addition... "
Hua Qingfeng felt that no matter whether he did it or not, he should give an explanation to the common people, especially the common people were so reasonable. When he bit the bullet and walked out of the county office, he thought he would be abused and besieged by the common people. Now the common people So much respect for him.
Therefore, Hua Qingfeng felt that today's act of comforting the people should be brought to a successful conclusion. Of course, it was just a word to appease the hearts of the people. In fact, he didn't intend to do anything about it, so he said very vaguely: "As for the wrong order of slaves because of the confusion of the books, the county will not forgive it. Yes. The county will strictly investigate and investigate the relevant responsible persons to the end, no matter who is involved, they will be severely punished!"
"Thank you, my lord!"
"Thank you, Mr. Qing!"
The people were even more moved, but there was no deadline for Hua Qingfeng's words. The so-called strict investigation was not clear who should be investigated. As for the "relevant personnel", it was even more ridiculous. ", isn't that what he said.
But it was such a vague sentence, which could be regarded as a promise to let go of fart afterwards, just because it was said by Hua Zhixian, and it was so decisive and resounding that it moved the people to a mess.
Ye Xiaotian accompanied Hua Qingfeng to caress the people the whole time. He saw Hua Qingfeng walking through the muddy alley due to the heavy rain last night, dragging his feet in the mud and stepping over the old thresholds of houses with traces , bent down and walked into the low and dark thatched huts, held a pair of big callused hands without being too messy, greeted the cold and warm, and had a friendly face. I just felt that this Huazhi County should go to Jinling to participate in the founding of Tang Xianzu, Zhang Hongyan and others. It's right for the theater troupe, it's a waste of talents not to act with such acting skills, and I don't know that when he gave away a portion of his wife's dowry, he felt ashamed and ashamed.
At this time, because Hua Qingfeng was too involved in the drama, he wanted to elevate his image of being an upright official who loves the people, so he generously issued a blank check to the people that could never be cashed, Ye Xiaotian couldn't bear it anymore Yes, he just jumped out.
"Fathers and elders, the words of the county lord are sincere! Let me tell you the truth, Li Yuncong, the secretary of the household department, has been punished for this matter, and the county lord will remove him from his post. Relegated to ordinary subordinates. All the subordinates in the household division will be fined for half a year, and those who will be exempted from the corvee and salary for the next year will be paid with their fines for the taxes you should pay and the corvee you should serve !"
Hua Qingfeng's face changed drastically, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, it was impossible for him to rush up and cover Ye Xiaotian's big mouth.
Ye Xiaotian took a breath of his dantian, and continued: "The chief registrant of this county, Wang Ning, is the supervisor of the household division. The household division books are chaotic, and the master registrant is to blame. Xu Boyi, the magistrate of this county, presided over the repair of the post road. I also knew about the wrongdoing of the servants, but they did not adjust and correct the mistakes in time, and they must also be responsible. The matter of protecting each other between officials and officials will never happen with our county magistrate, so the magistrate of the county has written a letter to impeach them!"
Hua Qingfeng's eyes went dark when he heard it, and he almost fainted. He stared at gold stars, only felt that Ye Xiaotian's voice was far and near, loud and small: "The county lord even wrote a letter of self-impeachment for this, and took the initiative to take responsibility! Folks, the family and the country are one, and I hope the folks can understand the flowers. County respect, you can fully support this county and ensure the protection of the frontline battle situation!"
Thunderous applause and cheers like mountains and tsunami rang out. Hua Qingfeng has been too depressed recently and often suffers from heart palpitations. Now being so aroused by Ye Xiaotian, he immediately became dizzy. He pointed at Ye Xiaotian like a The fish out of the water opened its mouth silently a few times, then suddenly tilted its body and fell into the arms of his brother-in-law Su Xuntian.
Ye Xiaotian was amused when he saw it. He had already prepared a few contingency measures, such as how to interrupt Hua Qingfeng once Hua Qingfeng didn't want to deny it in public.
Ye Xiaotian immediately interjected: "Don't make a mess, don't make a mess. These days, in order to ensure the post road transportation, the county lord has been sleeping all night, it's too hard. Last night, he wrote an impeachment memorial and a self-impeachment memorial. I didn't sleep all night, I was overworked, so I fainted. Just take a rest, don't worry, everyone! Bantou, hurry up and take the county lord back to rest."
Su Xuntian agreed, and Zhou Bantou, Ma Hui, and Xu Haoran hurriedly stuffed Hua Qingfeng back into the sedan chair, lifted it up, and walked towards the county government office. Hey!" "Who said that our elder is a mud-bodied county magistrate, this is a good official who truly loves the people like a son!"...
Hua Qingfeng woke up angrily before he arrived at the county government office. He sat in the sedan chair without saying a word, just trying to keep his luck as if he was practicing toad kungfu. Zhang Lian got out of the sedan chair and entered the living room aggressively.
Su Xuntian looked at Ye Xiaotian worriedly, Ye Xiaotian flicked his official cap indifferently, Shi Shiran followed in, Su Xuntian was worried, and quickly followed in. As the head of his team, of course he is not qualified to follow in, but as the county magistrate's brother-in-law, it's nothing.
"Ye Xiaotian, you are hijacking public opinion and forcing this county!"
Hua Zhixian's face was ashen, and he said to Ye Xiaotian angrily.
Ye Xiaotian drooped his eyelids, and said in a strange way: "My lord, didn't you just say that no matter who is involved, you have to investigate to the end. The lower official just understands what you mean, my lord, and gives a clear answer to the common people. The common people wrote I don’t read much, my lord, your words are so official, they can’t understand them!”
"How dare you argue! You..."
Huazhi county halberd pointed at Ye Xiaotian, just said half a sentence, suddenly he sneered: "You said what you said, but this county did not admit it. This county will not write a letter to impeach Xu Xiancheng and the king. The two of them If people question you, you can settle this matter yourself, and this county will not let you be satisfied!"
Ye Xiaotian was surprised and said: "No way? My lord, your impeachment memorial has already been delivered to the capital through the military station express horse. At the same time, you have also copied Tongren Mansion and Guiyang Mansion. The black and white letters are there, but your lord said that it was the lower officials who made their own decisions. I'm afraid Xu Xiancheng and Master Wang won't believe the words of the subordinate!"
Hua Zhixian was stunned for a moment, and said in a broken voice, "What?"
Ye Xiaotian yawned, and said to Su Xuntian, "Xuntian, here's the receipt from the station."
Ye Xiaotian didn't yawn sincerely in front of Huazhi County, deliberately making a lazy gesture, but met with Su Ya last night, tossed half the night, and after Su Ya's sister and brother left, he redesigned how to deal with it because of the cooperation between the two parties. The methods and methods of Xu Boyi and Wang Ning didn't have much sleep.
Su Xuntian took out a receipt from his bosom in response, and put his hands in Ye Xiaotian's. The official documents of the capital were delivered by the yamen through the post station, and of course the post station had to sign for receipt and give a return receipt, especially for important official documents. This time it was passed through the military post, and the receipt was written in more detail.
Hua Qingfeng snatched the receipt from Ye Xiaotian's hand, looked closely, and saw that there were two memorials recorded on it, and the names of the two memorials were all in sight. Ning Shu", one is "Huxian County Magistrate Hua Qingfeng Self-impeachment Shu".
The memorial was sent away this morning, because it was a military station, and it had already been delivered by express delivery at this time. Because of the outbreak of the Yunnan war, the speed of the military station on this line was 800 li fast horses. Impossible to catch up, Hua Qingfeng stared straight, took two steps back, and sat down on the official hat chair.
"Impossible! This is impossible! Without the seal of this county, it is impossible for you to issue a memorial..."
With the last trace of luck, Hua Qingfeng murmured. Su Xuntian couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Brother-in-law, of course there is your seal on the memorial, otherwise do you think we are teasing the military station and the court?"
"How is that possible!" Hua Qingfeng looked at Su Xuntian and Ye Xiaotian in surprise, suddenly realized, and said angrily, "Su Ya! It's her! It must be her!" He rushed to the back house with his feet, with a look of vindictiveness.
Seeing his menacing posture, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but said to Su Xuntian worriedly: "The county lord is furious, is your sister okay?"
Su Xuntian lazily replied: "Tch! My brother-in-law? That's a silver-like wax spear tip, and it won't show any prestige in front of my sister."
