Chapter 220 Liu Xia's Anger

[About the same question as Chapter 207 and Chapter 208. Jianwu apologizes to the officials who supported the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the content of Chapter 208 will be re-uploaded later. Thank you for the big reminder of "Xiao Yunerfei".]

When those officials saw Liu Xia coming out, they thought that Liu Xia was forced by them to agree to cancel the regulation of the gambling house. So they quickly looked up at Liu Xia, but what they saw was not Liu Xiaping's helpless face, but angry and disgusted eyes. And Liu Xia was followed by more than a dozen people in special uniforms, who they had heard that they should be from the investigation office. More than a dozen people in these investigation offices held some paper in their hands, but they didn't know what was written on it.

The officials stretched out their necks to take a look, but they couldn't see a word at all because they were too far away. However, they kept telling themselves in their hearts that Liu Xia would definitely agree with them. After all, with so many of them, Liu Xia could not have any scruples.

"Is it the letter of appointment given to them by Liu Xia? Transfer them all to other places in anger?" Everyone is thinking about it.

These officials, when they saw Liu Xia's angry eyes, were very comfortable. It was half of the success to force Liu Xia to look like this. The leaders were thinking that the brothers tried their best to cancel Liu Xia's tax on the gambling house.

"Please take back your order!"

Liu Xia sneered at the corners of her mouth and stared at the more than a hundred people, as if she saw not people, but a group of unreasonable pigs. He said, "Good job, really good. The king's officials actually backed up those unruly people in the casino and came to plead for them. It's really good. I really know what happened to the corruption of my men in just one year. Humph, it seems that you are the people who have learned about Nanjing.

When Liu Xia said so, many officials below suddenly felt bad, but now they have reached this point and must not give up like this. At this time, the officials lowered their heads one after another and no longer raised them.

"Try back to the prince, we are just redressing the grievances of the people. As the saying goes, officials do not compete with the people for profits, and the prince should not exploit the profits of gambling casinos like this. Please take back the order, make it beneficial to the people, and convince the people of the world. An official kneeling in front of him lay his head on the ground and did not dare to look up, but his voice was very loud. Not only did Liu Xia hear it clearly, but also the people around him could hear it clearly.

Liu Xia retorted: "What is the struggle for profit with the people? He has never seen me oppress the people. Now the people under the rule of the Pingbei Army are not able to live and work in peace and contentment. They can eat and wear clothes. As local parents and officials, you don't care about these people, but you are entangled in gambling. What are you thinking? Do you know how many people lose their families and their wives and children are separated because of gambling every day. Such a cancer must be controlled.

At this time, another official was also lying on the ground and refused to look up. He said so loudly to the ground, "The prince said that the subordinate did not agree. Even if it was a cancer, why did the prince charge 70% of the profit? What is it that is not for the benefit of the people? Please take back your life!"

Liu Xia said, "Not 70%, now it's 80%. Naturally, I know that it is impossible to ban gambling houses, so I specially built a city to place all the gambling houses in it, and collecting a large amount of taxes can not only inhibit the increase of gambling houses, but also gradually ban the number of gambling houses, but also because the gambling houses are concentrated in one city, I can manage it more. Reason. And it can also reduce the number of people who go to gamble, and then effectively control it.

After Liu Xia said, the onlookers suddenly applauded happily. What Liu Xia said was recognized by the people. Of course, the main reason is that the harm of gambling is really great. Many people died because of gambling, and eventually became a gangster or murderer. Robbery | Robber. What the people hate most is this kind of people, and many people have such a good gambling relative in their families. They saw that their relatives' families in the past die, and finally went to prison for stealing, which made them also hate gambling very much, so they were very supportive of Liu Xia's rectification of gambling houses.

Feeling the contempt of the people around them, these kneeling officials were ashamed one by one, and they pressed their heads lower and dared not look up so that the people could see what they looked like. Many people began to regret that they would not have come here if they had known.

At this time, the onlookers didn't know who suddenly hit a rotten egg. The rotten egg suddenly hit an official on the back, but the official did not move.

Suddenly, the onlookers exploded and asked the people with rotten eggs and vegetable leaves for some, and then served all the rotten eggs, vegetables and leaves to the officials. These officials' opposition to Liu Xia is to bully them, which is the inner idea of the people.

Liu Xia gave them stability and a comfortable environment. Now under Liu Xia's rule, they can't be hungry, can't freeze, have a house to live in, and have a land. The law is strict and relatively fair. After all, most of the people have experienced a great drought of more than ten years, and many people have starved to death. Now they have finally come up with a wise master. They absolutely do not allow anyone to oppose Liu Xia. Liu Xia is the great leader in their hearts.

Looking at the overreaction of the people, although Liu Xia was very happy, she still asked the soldiers to stop it on the surface. After all, these officials are not prisoners now, although they will soon be prisoners.

The officials still did not move to let those rotten eggs hit themselves. Although they were furious, they did not dare to get up because Liu Xia suppressed them in front of them. They thought that when this matter was over, they must retaliate against the people.

"Once the prince says to let go, he will leave here as soon as possible and never come to Luoyang again. After going back, he will definitely keep his duty and never participate in such an event again." Many officials think so in their hearts.

Liu Xia looked at the official who knelt down and sneered, "Why don't you talk about it? No more questions? Since you don't talk about it, the king should talk about it." After Liu Xia said that, the scene suddenly became quiet, and the people also kept order and wanted to hear what Liu Xia said.

Liu Xia glanced at a hundred officials with an expressionless face, and then picked up a piece of paper from the hands of a person from an investigation office behind him and said loudly, "Wang Wenda, deputy director of the Civil Affairs Department of Kaifeng Prefecture." Liu Xia paused for a moment, looked coldly at Wang Wenda, who was lying in the front and heard his name trembling, and then said, "From taking office to now, a total of 8,000 silver dollars and three luxury houses have been embezzled. Twenty maids and three concubines. He earned 5,000 silver dollars from Xiangfu Mingji gambling house. It constitutes a serious crime of embezzlement, and the evidence of the crime is true. In fact, it is unforgivable, and heaven and man are angry. Come and take it for me! Hand it over to the Supreme Court for trial!" Every time Liu Xia read a word, Wang Wencai's face turned pale. When Liu Xia finished reading, he was completely paralyzed on the ground, and other officials were even more frightened. They kept praying to all the gods they knew not to find them. However, since the officials who could come, there were always some gambling places. As long as there is corruption, then Liu Xia will definitely be able to find out.

Then two agents went up and dragged Wang Wencai, who was paralyzed on the ground, like a dead dog. When he passed by the crowd, the people served the remaining rotten eggs and vegetable leaves in their hands one after another, and the two agents were also implicated, which made They complained bitterly, so they accelerated their pace and wanted to get out of the crowd quickly.

"The deputy director of the Finance Department of Ruzhou Prefecture, Li Jingguo used 13,000 silver dollars in public funds, collected 50,000 silver dollars from all walks of life, and occupied Xuzhou Changhe Casino, Yuzhou Linying Casino, and Ruzhou Fengyu Casino. He is one of the people behind the scenes, and he receives more than 20,000 silver dollars from it every year. Among them, there are five mansions, a hundred maids, and ten concubines. Among them, the eight concubines were illegally forced, resulting in the destruction of her family. The killing of five people during his tenure constitutes serious corruption, bribery, murder, etc. It is really a heinous crime. Come and take it! Hand it over to the Supreme Court for trial! Take him down! Among them, Zhang Lang, the governor of Ruzhou, can't absolve himself from his culprit, and he will be dismissed and investigated on the same day!"
