Be honest and lenient, resist and be strict. As long as it is not unforgivable and the most serious crimes are extremely serious, confession can be appropriately reduced.
Of course, those involved in the murder of officials of the court, especially the Censor, are also serious crimes even if they are not the mastermind. For his confession, although the crime of death can be avoided, the crime of living cannot be escaped.
Local officials in Ezhou tried to deal with taxes. Considering the general environment in Jiangnan, they could not cure any serious crimes, but the murder of the Censorate touched the bottom line of the court.
Even if Emperor Chen does not pursue this matter, the censors in the capital will definitely fight with them to the end. In addition, the Ministry of Personnel is not easy to mess with. They turn a blind eye on their daily lives, but they just haven't found any opportunity.
After asking the shopkeeper of Yuanyanglou, Tang Ning returned to the room and wrote a letter to Fang Hong. After escorting these people to Beijing, he would hand them over to him.
Ezhou is not big, with only three counties under its jurisdiction. Within one day, all the magistrates of the three counties will arrive.
The three of them stood in the hall, their faces turned pale. The governor of Ezhou, the chief of the emperor, and the other party were all arrested in prison. It can be seen what kind of cruel character the official who came to Beijing this time was. If something angered him, he might end up like those people.
Tang Ning looked at them and asked calmly: You all know about the fact that the Ezhou governor has been greedy for many years, bribing the censor and intending to murder the imperial officials, right?
The three of them spoke in unison: The officials know
Tang Ning looked at them and asked: This official took down all the officials involved in the Ezhou Government Office. What do you think about this?
He was guilty of great evil from the governor, and he deserved it...
The adults handle it very well, so the officials admire it
Thank you, Lord, for getting rid of this treacherous slander for Ezhou...
The situation is stronger than others. It is obvious that the governor of Ezhou is doomed this time, and the three of them stood on Tang Ning's side without hesitation.
What Tang Ning was most worried about was that after taking down the senior officials of the state yamen, the people of Ezhou mutiny occurred. Although Ezhou was not big and it was easy to suppress it, there was only one less thing. If the county government under Ezhou cooperated, the impact of this matter could be minimized.
He looked at the three of them and said: The governor of Ezhou deserves his crime. You three should take it as a warning to stabilize the people in your jurisdiction. If anyone dares to make trouble from it and has bad intentions, I will definitely forgive you!
The three of them trembled for a moment and immediately said: The Lord, obey the order!
After reminding the three county magistrates, when the three left, Chen Zhou knocked on the door, walked in from outside, and said: Sir, Jiangnan West Road has been sentenced
The position of the criminal prosecutor in Chen State is very special, and he has little real power in his hands, but he has the responsibility to supervise an official and can directly hand over the emperor. He can be regarded as a sharp sword hanging on the heads of local officials.
He made such a big noise in Ezhou, and there was no reason not to alarm the prosecutor, but he didn't expect that he would come so quickly
Tang Ning walked into the side hall and saw a person standing in the hall. After being stunned, he said: Lord Song, why is it you?
He is not unfamiliar with the middle-aged man standing in the hall. He once met Song Qian, the Jingdong Road, and Tang Ning were in Lingzhou.
Song Qian looked at him and said with a wry smile: It's indeed Lord Tang...
Tang Ning ordered Chen Zhou to serve tea, and after sitting down, he asked: Why is Lord Song here?
Song Qiandao: A year ago, I was transferred to Jiangnan West Road, and this time it happened to be near Ezhou. When I heard this, I rushed over immediately.
He looked at Tang Ning and said with a complicated expression: Lord Tang, do you know that if you take the Ezhou officials, it will be difficult to walk on the road in Jiangnan next time. It is not easy to explain to the court. Strictly count it, you have no power to capture the governor of Ezhou. Once the news reaches the capital, this will become the reason for those people to attack you...
Tang Ning actually thought of these things before he started, and he first moved Ezhou to kill the chicken and scare the monkey and shock the other prefectures.
This trip to Jiangnan, he had only one task, that is, to find out the rebellious forces in Jiangnan and kill them in one fell swoop.
In order to ensure the smoothness of this task, no matter who or what purpose they do, any trouble that causes this operation will be directly eliminated.
Song Yi seemed to have something in his words, Tang Ning looked at him and asked: Lord Song means...
Book of Wan Min Song Yi stroked his beard and said with a smile: As long as Lord Tang conveys the public opinion of Ezhou to the capital, he can block the mouths of those people in the capital.
Tang Ning smiled and said: Thank you, Lord Song, please remind me.
The situation in Jiangnan is complicated. Even though I have long been unable to stand these people's actions, I dare not act rashly.
Song Yi looked at him and said: In the next period of time, I will stay in Ezhou to assist Lord Tang in handling the subsequent matters.
Thank you Lord Song. Tang Ning can't continue to delay in Ezhou. Some subsequent chores are needed to deal with by someone who can trust.
Song Yi waved his hand and said: Lord Tang, you are polite. You have done something that I have always wanted to do but dare not do. In comparison, what is the one I have done?
……
Several major events have happened in Ezhou in the past two days
The first thing to do is naturally the governor of Ezhou, Sima, Changshi and other officials. They were captured and imprisoned by high officials from the capital, which actually caused a major earthquake in the officialdom in Ezhou.
For a time, Ezhou officials were in panic, and the incident spread to all directions at an extremely fast speed.
The second thing is that the governor's yamen is opened for five days. Anyone who has been bullied by these officials can complain, explain the grievances in detail, and sign their own names on the letter of Wanmin.
The people of Ezhou responded to this matter. A long queue was lined up at the yamen early in the morning and did not disperse until the yamen was closed at night. Early the next morning, the team to seek justice would reappear again.
The third thing is that the property of several officials, including the governor of Ezhou, was seized. It is said that the total amount of silver and gold and silver were scattered. Various jewelry, gold and silver were filled with dozens of large boxes. The people were talking about this.
These corrupt officials are so rich. Is there so much salary for the court?
Their salary is not that much for hundreds of years. Are they all plundering people’s wealth and ointment?
A million taels of Ah, we will never make so much money in our ten lives...
……
Only one million taels? Tang Ning looked at Liu Tong with a slightly frown
Liu Tongdao: Sir, one million taels are real silver taels, other precious jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, and I don’t know how valuable it is...
Silver is something that can give people a visual impact. Although one million taels are already a huge sum of money, Emperor Chen is not a poor emperor now. This money cannot bring him enough impact.
Tang Ning thought for a while and said: Let someone exchange all the silver notes for silver and put them in boxes. If the items that are too big, they will also be treated as silver.
Those treasures and antiques are all stolen goods and are difficult to deal with, but if you change the silver notes to silver, the visual impact will be much greater. Some things that cannot be taken away can also be used as local.
Liu Tong nodded and said: Sir, they also found out that some businessmen in Ezhou colluded with the government and evaded taxes...
Tang Ning's eyes lit up and said: According to the law, let them pay back five times. Remember to pay them all, don't have silver notes!
Of course, those involved in the murder of officials of the court, especially the Censor, are also serious crimes even if they are not the mastermind. For his confession, although the crime of death can be avoided, the crime of living cannot be escaped.
