Su Bei's calculation failed but he was calculated, but he didn't show the slightest thing on the surface, and he didn't feel awkward when he got along with Jia Zhen. Jia Zhen couldn't help feeling a little admired in her heart. Su Bei's ability to be the emperor's confidant was really not easy.Although Su Bei's repeated delays made the trial of the case very slow, Jia Zhen still had the upper hand in the tug-of-war between the two given the evidence.Seeing this situation, the remaining officials in Yangzhou and the newly dispatched officials tried their best to keep a low profile and did not dare to do anything out of the ordinary. Those businessmen and wealthy people also restrained a lot. For a while, the atmosphere in Yangzhou was much better than before , and the people applauded and applauded.

Just when Su Bei was worried, another incident happened, which made officials from all over the place uneasy. Many important towns dug up Tai Sui. Articles searching for people's fat and people's ointment all appeared.Even the common people in some places were overwhelmed by the heavy labor and taxation. These news and songs became the last straw, causing them to rise up one after another. As a result, small-scale riots appeared in many places.

Yangzhou is located in a prosperous place. Although the people's lives are not easy, the people's hearts are still stable. What's more, Jia Zhen has a good reputation, and sitting here has greatly improved the atmosphere and did not cause too many riots.This made the officials in Yangzhou, including Su Bei, breathe a sigh of relief. This can be directly linked to the evaluation of officials, especially Su Bei.However, I didn't expect to come here for whatever I was afraid of. Not only did Tai Sui appear in Yangzhou, but there was also rumors about monsters and monks.For a while, the people of Yangzhou panicked. The shops closed their stalls early, and the people closed their doors tightly. Many watchmen were unwilling to call the watch.Panic began to spread in Yangzhou City.

"What can we do?" Su Bei asked Jia Zhen, he just came to assist Jia Zhen, and as the inspector, Jia Zhen is currently the most powerful official in Yangzhou. "What do you think we should do?" Jia Zhen asked back.The current situation in Yangzhou is beyond Jia Zhen's expectations, but all developments are still under Jia Zhen's control, because although Jia Zhen's face is also anxious, she is actually happy in her heart, of course This movement is far from enough to make the old emperor abdicate on his own initiative.At this time, he should sell it well to the fifth prince, and remind the fifth prince, who is the prince, that the throne is not secure at this time, and the old emperor who is not living well is no different from a tiger that is ready to bite at any time. Be careful, especially because the status of the fifth prince as a prince is in some cases of carbon-shaped boxes, so that the outfitting equipment will suffer. Is there a dark wood in the shell and there is no ring?

"The top priority is to refute the rumors, catch the person who spread the rumors, and bring him to justice on the spot, so as to serve as an example to others, so as to reassure the people." Su Bei was not without skills, and immediately made a suggestion. "That's not bad. It's just that Su Yushi has forgotten that there is Tai Sui. There is a deep grievance between Yangzhou officials and the people. I'm afraid that this move will backfire, causing the people to panic, and then lead to a radical change. When the time comes, you and I They all have to lose their heads." Jia Zhen shook her head and sighed. "What do Master Jia think we should do?" Although Su Bei was still calm at this time, he was inevitably a little bit at a loss under the huge pressure. He looked at Jia Zhen, hoping that Jia Zhen could come up with a good idea.

"Right now, we should first resolve the disputes between the government and the people, calm the old grievances of the people, and then implement governance, educate the people, and calm the panic." Jia Zhen put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Su Bei. "Lord Jia, what do you mean, those officials?" Su Bei couldn't help but widen his eyes. If it wasn't for keeping some officials, why would he bother with Jia Zhen for so long? Could all his efforts be in vain now? Is it flowing? "Do you have a safer way?" Jia Zhen snorted suddenly, put down the glass heavily, and glared at Su Bei. "I haven't figured it out yet, can you ask Master Jia to delay for two days?" Su Bei is a person who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods. Since he has done so much, he is not willing to give up now, not to mention there is the fourth prince watching behind him. What about him?

"Two days off. Lord Su, I want to ask you. Before reviewing the case, I thought you were cautious and didn't want to have unjust, false or wrongly decided cases, so I tolerated your delay. Now that the public sentiment is so hot, you still want to Procrastinate, when something happens, can you be responsible for it?" Jia Zhen waved her hand immediately, and swept the teacup on the small table to the ground, and the good cup immediately broke into pieces, and the tea seeped After entering the floor tiles, all the officials in the room did not dare to say a word.

"Just do what Mr. Jia said? What do you think?" After a long time, an official finally spoke up. The most important thing now is not to stir up civil unrest, otherwise the officials who have stayed in Yangzhou for many years will definitely not be able to please them. Who has clean hands, hasn't taken any benefits, and relied on power, all kinds of things are different.Now those backers on the head have fallen, and it will be their turn soon.If Su Yushi hadn't come here and had a stalemate with Mr. Jia for so long, how could they have a peaceful life? But right now those common people are about to rebel, and if Mr. Jia really wants to investigate, they may not be able to find them, but the common people are worried. There are accounts!The lesser of these two evils, the common people really won't be merciful at that time.

"That's right, that's right, it's better for Mrs. Jia to think in the long run." All the officials echoed.Jia Zhen lowered her eyes slightly. These people are probably afraid that the common people will retaliate against them.When I did those things at the beginning, I never thought that there would be today, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. "Since everyone agrees, let's do this. Those people will be dealt with at noon tomorrow." Jia Zhen restrained her emotions and said in a deep voice.

Su Bei looked at the officials who agreed with Jia Zhen and bowed their heads, and couldn't help but want to yell at them—this group of idiots are simply seeking their own death.Anyway, in this case, he can have a plausible reason for not being able to follow the order of the Fourth Prince.Anyway, these people will all be dead by then, so the fourth prince will punish himself for these dead people.Sometimes, they had to resign themselves to their fate, no matter who told them to run into that guy Jia Boxi.

"I didn't expect this to be our last meal." The people in the cell couldn't help but glance at each other, Peng Yuduan took the lead and said, thinking back then when he held great power, his family had countless wealth, and there were crowds of concubines, What a scene, but I never thought that one day I would become a prisoner, and now I will go to hell. I don't know if those so-called karma and reincarnation really exist.Peng Yuduan thought about these issues of life and death for a long time, but he still couldn't let go of life and death. He knew very well that he was afraid of death and going to the hell of Avici.If he can do it all over again, he must be an upright official for the people. "It's all because of that damned Jia Zhen." Another official named Zhang Tian was not so quiet, and cursed.Before he could swear a few words, the whip of the jailer guarding them hit him, and the jailer yelled: "Damn, be honest, Mr. Jia can be scolded by people like you, hurry up and eat, tomorrow!" But I can’t eat even if I want to.”

That Zhang Tian screamed in pain, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only drink and eat meat with his head down. "This is fate." Another official sighed in a low voice, "I hope that my children will be fine now, and someone will remember me in the future." "Old Wei, don't think about it, the things we committed There are a lot of things, and Jia Zhen was offended to the death, so let’s forget it, I’m afraid our family will not be able to please. Let’s say you will be sentenced to exile. Frozen to death in the north, and few people died of illness in the south I'm afraid I can't make it through." Another official said, "I'd rather give it a good time, at least the family is not alone on the road to Huangquan, and there is someone to take care of them."

"Fuck, you dead man, you want to kill the whole family, but I don't want to. I don't allow you to curse my son." The man called Old Wei got excited, pointed at the speaker through the fence and cursed. "I was wrong. Why don't you say that you judge so many cases every year, how many of them are based on conscience, not money. Don't say anything else, let's talk about Shi Yuanwai's case. You have taken a fancy to others. Daughter, if someone refuses to give her to you, you will accuse her of writing a counter-report, kill her whole family, and even spoil her daughter at the end of the day. Pooh, it’s gone now, what about the prestige you had back then? Look at me, I only hate that I didn't do it back then, and left some people alive, so that Jia Boxi could take advantage of it." The official who was scolded retorted and scolded.

"No, I studied hard for more than 20 years before I became a Jinshi and became an official. I just wanted to be beautiful, BMW beauties, gold, silver and jewelry. Otherwise, what am I doing reading those Lao Shizi books? I should have been more ruthless in the first place. Jia Boxi can't figure it out. Besides, don't tell anyone, his Jia family's family business is all clean. What kind of upright officials are you now? Pooh, it's not because of the ancestor's family business. If I have him With half the family business, I am willing to be an upright official in order to gain a good reputation. Isn’t that little boy better at reincarnation than us?” Another official surnamed Fan echoed and began to curse.

"Let you eat, who told you to make a noise here, just say it if you want to be whipped." Seeing that the cell was noisy, the jailer rushed in, and rewarded those who spoke with a solid beating. Just tell them to be honest. "Everyone thinks they are officials, sir. Let me tell you, you are death row prisoners, or death row prisoners who are going to die tomorrow. Be honest with me, or else I will tell you to take it easy." The jailer spat a few more times. The people who made the most noise took a mouthful of phlegm before turning around and leaving, still swearing.

"We are being bullied by dogs in Pingyang." A silent official before said, then sighed, took a sip of wine, this wine is really bad, how can it compare to the usual drinking Those ones.

As soon as noon arrived, the heads of these officials fell to the ground one after another, and the ground of the execution ground was soaked red with blood.The common people clapped their hands and celebrated, each smiling.Some people even brought the spirit tablets of their family members who died unjustly, and came to the execution ground in sackcloth and filial piety, so that their family members who died unjustly can rest in peace.I thought the matter would be over like this, but I didn't expect Jia Zhen to issue three orders on the spot. The trouble in Yangzhou lies in corruption, not in ghosts and gods. Three orders: First, don't talk about ghosts and gods.Second, if there is a grievance that cannot be upheld, you can beat the drum to complain, and you will not be punished, and you will definitely have a fair trial.Thirdly, if you discover a demon monk, you must not conceal it or report it. Once you discover it, you will be punished as an accomplice.
