The officials who were named, after receiving the notice from the guards and asking for the reason to no avail, ran to see Emperor Jin Ming without daring to waste a moment.

Because Emperor Jin Ming's identity had been exposed to avoid danger, the guards dispatched many guards to escort him.

These officials soon appeared in front of Emperor Jin Ming. Except for the county magistrate, almost everyone didn't know what was going on. How could such a small village mobilize so many people.

Some people may wonder, at least Xuezheng participated in it himself, how could he not know?

That is, a student administration is responsible for the hospital examination of the entire prefectural city. He will only know the local county magistrate who takes the lead, and receive "good seedlings" "recommended" from them for the county examination, as well as the corresponding seedling prices.

Moreover, these miscellaneous matters are all handled by the master. He himself only needs to receive a satisfactory amount of money and approve the corresponding quota.

The position of Xuezheng is not high, and he has no real power except for the college and township exams. Those who pass the exam are useless to others, and those who fail the exam are useless for him to make friends with. I don't know who paid for it.

So, this time, the admiral Xuezheng who was called over was also afraid at first, was his affairs exposed?I also thought that this is the default unspoken rule everywhere, but he is more direct.

Of course, he also knew that the meaning of this unspoken rule was that he couldn't tell the truth, let alone let the emperor know that before he could figure out a way, he had already arrived at the place.

When he found out that the people kneeling on the ground were ordinary farmers and there was a dead self-combed girl, he was completely relaxed, because he thought he was just implicated by his brother-in-law.

The reason why the county magistrate was able to promise Tang Bin that he would be exempted from the filial piety money was because the Xuezheng was actually his brother-in-law.

From Xuezheng's point of view, his brother-in-law is just like him. He has no ability but doesn't want to cause trouble. It's a pity that he has a troubled son, and the county magistrate is too spoiled with the child.

When I saw the dead self-combing girl, I immediately remembered what I heard from my wife yesterday, and her nephew didn't know the smell.

At that time, because he heard that the emperor came back from the southern tour, and the local officials had an audience with him, he was wondering if he could make a good impression in front of the officials, so that all the officials with real power could do it.

You know, he, a fifth-rank official, is much worse than his brother-in-law's seventh-rank sesame official in terms of real power. How about he can always respect his wife so much?It's not because he is afraid that his brother-in-law will find him awkward.

However, Xuezheng didn't pay much attention to what his wife said after listening to it.

Besides, there is really nothing to care about such a trivial matter. It is really impossible. If you pass a few words to the clan where the self-combed girl belongs to, they don't need to do it themselves, and the clan will handle it cleanly.

Therefore, I just said in passing: "What's the matter? Self-combing girls are also clean, and it doesn't matter if you play with them. You won't get any problems. Let your brother talk to you and it will be settled. It's worth your fuss? "

Looking at the situation now, there is a high probability that it is time to deal with it, and the emperor who is playing around hits him, and he should be unlucky for his wife and brother.

But he didn't worry too much, because usually such things, that is, to accompany some money, when it's really a big deal, even if it's a sentence or something, it's their father and son's business. It doesn't even matter.

At this moment, Xuezheng was sighing in his heart, he really deserved to be the emperor, and it was amazing that he could figure out the relationship between such small officials who could not get on the stage so quickly.

When several officials saw Emperor Jin Ming, they fell to the ground and shouted long live. Emperor Jin Ming sneered and said, "Long live? I didn't die directly. It's really thanks to the great blessings of my lovers!"

These words made the officials so frightened that cold sweat instantly soaked their robes, and each of them, regardless of whether they were wrong or not, hurriedly said: "The minister deserves death!"

Emperor Jin Ming took out the letter with the ranking and comparison of silver taels and threw it in front of the governor at the front, saying: "Come on, show me all, are you familiar with this?"

The governor of Tianjin kowtowed, picked up the letter and opened it, he was shocked at first, then the cold sweat came down his forehead, and he cursed inwardly: What a fucking pig!If you get some money, just do it lightly, the whole thing comes out, it's because you think your head is strong, right?

However, on the face, he pleaded sincerely and said: "This minister has neglected his duty, please punish him." Pleading guilty at this moment is definitely better than explaining, the more you explain, the more angry the emperor will be. don't you know this?

Emperor Jin Ming didn't say anything, and directly signaled to continue to read the letter in shifts. When everyone saw the contents of the letter, they were sweating coldly. This involved fraud in the imperial examination. Facing ransacking and extermination.

All of them were trembling before, but now they turned pale, shaking as if they were sifting chaff, but they also knew that now they are pleading guilty and choosing a relatively light crime to lay on their own heads.

The most important thing is to let the emperor understand that he really doesn't know about it, and the best choice is naturally the crime of negligence.

Others dared to refuse, but the county magistrate and Xuezheng who were involved were not capable of refusing. When they saw the letter, they were so weak that they couldn't even get up.

Then, after Jin Mingdi threw the second letter to the county magistrate, it became the last straw that broke the camel's back. He collapsed and fell to the ground, followed by a foul smell of excrement and urine.

Naturally, the county magistrate and Xuezheng ransacked their homes and implicated the nine clans, so none of them could escape.

But for other officials, especially the governor, Jin Mingdi knew that he was really wronged, because to them, being a scholar really didn't matter.

Even if it is the number one scholar, to put it bluntly, it is only once every three years, and how many will be able to be the ultimate minister in the end?It's nothing surprising.

Therefore, as he himself said, it was a crime of dereliction of duty.In addition, there are a few people here who are capable, and Emperor Jin Ming didn't want to kill them directly.

In addition, after this trip, the court has almost changed its blood. Those corpses who eat vegetarian meals have almost been withdrawn, and most of the rest are capable ministers. If it continues, I am afraid that people will panic.

However, the warning and pressure that should be given cannot be less. Emperor Jin Ming directly ordered: "Lock up these people first, and I want to see if you are blind enough to make these two things so arrogant, or are you blind?" , you are also the beneficiaries. If the fruit, let me find out, hmph..."

Emperor Jin Ming didn't say what it was specifically, but it was very threatening. No one here is a fool, can you not understand?However, they also knew that if there were no accidents, their lives would be saved.

Turning his head, Emperor Jin Ming looked at the farmers who were still kneeling, and said again: "Tianjin Governor Ye Hongsong."

Ye Hongsong hurriedly bowed and said, "The guilty minister is here!"

Emperor Jin Ming took a deep look at him, and then said: "You are the second place in the 13th year of Daxing. .7 mentioned Yijia No.2, do you know what I told the old lady at that time?"

Ye Hongsong naturally knew what the emperor said to the old matriarch, but he couldn't say it, so he kowtowed with red eyes and said: "I have failed the emperor's high expectations, please punish me severely!" These words were sincere.

Seeing Ye Hongsong's appearance, Emperor Jin Ming felt a little relieved, but continued without showing it: "I said in the past that in my world, the imperial examination should choose capable ministers to assist me, not beautiful articles."

"Your performance afterwards also made me feel gratified for a while, thinking that you did not live up to my high expectations, and handed over the Tianjin Guard to you, but now, can you explain to me that this is the land you govern? "

"After colluding with the county magistrate, the school and the government, they boldly extended their hands to the imperial examination. The people ignored the laws of the country and ignored human lives in broad daylight. Tell me that this has become like this here. What use do you want?"

Ye Hongsong cried: "Your Majesty, it's my minister who is incompetent. Due to his smooth official career these years, he even forgot his original intention, and thus betrayed the Emperor's favor. Please forgive me. However, I hope that the Emperor will give me two months, and I will definitely send Tianjin to you." The guards are well governed, and the matter of the scientific examination has been thoroughly investigated, and then, even if the minister dies, he will rest in peace."

Emperor Jin Ming was satisfied, this was the answer he wanted, Ye Hongsong's brains were definitely not in vain, he knew very well what Emperor Jin Ming wanted, of course, this was because he did have the ability and had some merits, so it should be considered good Official, otherwise it was just flattery, Situ Zheng would have spoken out long ago.

After getting what he wanted, Emperor Jin Ming remained silent for a long time, until beads of sweat on Ye Hongsong's forehead fell to the ground, forming a small puddle.

Emperor Jin Ming then said: "Ye Hongsong, originally, I should have taken your head off, but I love talent, so this time, I will not punish you, but after two months, I can't get a satisfactory answer, I want to The heads of your nine clans are considered interest!"

Ye Hongsong hurriedly kowtowed to express his gratitude, and made another reassurance. Then he turned around and found that the others had already been dragged down. He only hoped that they were really as ignorant as they said.

Emperor Jin Ming didn't care what Ye Hongsong was thinking, he just pointed to the villagers of Tangjia Village and said, "The world belongs to my Situ family. I don't want to encounter such a village in the future."

Ye Hongsong quickly agreed that, except for the old six couple and a few self-combed girls, all the villagers looked ashen. With the emperor's words, no one will marry their village in the future, maybe it is a married girl , will also be abandoned.

Just when Emperor Jin Ming was about to get up and take Situ Zheng back to the palace, the sixth child raised his head and opened his mouth, but was so frightened by the guards that he didn't make a sound.

Situ Zheng turned her head when she heard the voice, and asked, "What else do you need?"

The sixth child took out a few pieces of paper and said, "Your Highness, this is what the old lady and the grass-roots promised."

Emperor Jin Ming turned his head back in some surprise: "You guys keep it and live a good life."

The sixth child and his wife looked at each other, then turned around and said, "Erya's grievance has been redressed, the grass people and those in the house have no regrets."

Situ Zheng looked at the two of them, and said, "Alright, the merits are good for the three of you, so let's donate them to the charity hall."

After hearing this, the sixth child kowtowed gratefully. The guard took over the title deed of the house, and Ye Hongsong said, "Let me buy this place."

Situ Zheng didn't care, Emperor Jin Ming nodded and took Situ Zheng into the carriage.

The next day, Situzheng heard that several households in Tangjia Village were set on fire. They helped the three of them with the funeral.
