Chapter 31 Cut the mess
In just two days, more than 20 waves of people with high status entered the Jingji government office and had several in-depth talks with Lu Bingqing, who was not a low official position. They either go straight to the topic or knock on the sidelines, but their intention is exactly the same, that is, they hope that Lu Bingqing can raise his hand and remove the underworld people who have been sent to prison and are ready to be convicted at any time.
This annoyed Lu Bingqing, but because these people are * deep, but not easy to be rude, they have to say hello carefully one by one. At this time, although it was going to be late, there were still two identifiable guests talking to Lu Bingqing in the second hall. These two are the masters of the Gongsun family and the Zhan family, which are second only to the seven masters in several families in the capital - Gongsun Changxun and Zhan Qianyu.
At this time, Zhan Qianyu was smiling and said, "Lu Fuyin is the most upright, and there has been a legend in our Daliang City over the years. Presumably, Lu Fuyin will not let those innocent people suffer such injustice, right?
Gongsun Changxun also echoed later: "Yes, this time some people's approach is too much, but they can't overturn a boat of people with one rod. Among those who were arrested, most of them are still the good people of our Daliang City. I hope that Lufu Yin can clearly break right and wrong and give them justice, so that he can give the court an explanation.
Lu Bingqing smiled and said no, but he was very unhappy. He has been scolded as a waste of corpse meals once or twice over the years. Is this what he wants to do? Of course not, it's just that there has been no time. Now that he finally has something to do, he has to face these self-interested people, which makes him very dissatisfied. He just wants to kick these two guys who actually don't have any positions out of the government office immediately.
But people can't help themselves in the world, and this idea can only be an idea. In this powerful city, he dares not really offend these guys who have a lot of voice in the court. The only thing he can do is to smile and then say, "What you two said is that if these people are really wronged, I will definitely not let them be wronged like this all the time, and I will release them out in three or five days at most."
"In this way, Lufu Yin will be very distracted, and we will wait for the good news in the house." Hearing what he meant, the two seemed to have a peaceful idea, so they responded with a happy smile, and then got up to leave. In their eyes, the status of this Gyeonggi governor is really not good. They really don't have to worry too much. As long as they make it clear, Lu Bingqing will let him go.
However, they didn't realize that Lu Bingqing still left a little button when saying this. He said that if these people were wronged, they would be released, but what if they were not wronged? Naturally, it will not release people, but will condemn them and act according to the law.
After sending the two out with a smile, Lu Bingqing's smiling face suddenly sank down: "How can it be! At this time, these people still hold an airs, don't pay attention to me, and don't ask for help at all!"
At this time, his staff Li Zhengfeng also came over. Obviously, he understood the anger of his adults and comforted them, "Your excellency, these people have always been unaccustomed. Although they are looking for you now, they will still not lower their posture."
"It's not only this that annoys me, but that they have settled my mind!" Facing his confidant, Lu Bingqing said without hiding his words: "In the past few days, you have also seen that so many people have come, but which one really has an official position in the court? To make it clear, those who really have status don't think that they are qualified to talk to them face to face at all. They only send some stewsmen to think that they can soften their officials.
"In fact, adults don't have to give them this face at all! Since they are so big, let them know that the power in the hands of adults is not something they can despise!" Wang Gu, who was beside him, said bluntly. Because he made contributions to the arrest this time, his position as a catcher in Gyeonggi Province is also much higher.
"It's not easy to talk about this..." Lu Bingqing, who had just become a little strong, suddenly said dejectedly, "These people can't be offended by me, let alone offend these many people. If it really goes against their will and condemn people, I'm afraid that my position will soon be unstable.
Li Zhengfeng looked at Lu Bingqing's words with a smile and suddenly shook his head: "Your Excellency's words are not appropriate. In my opinion, if your excellency really fulfills their wishes this time, the position of the governor of Gyeonggi Province will not be preserved. If it is really fair, it will be beneficial to the adults.
Ah? What did you say that, sir? Lu Bingqing asked puzzledly.
"Your Excellency, please go back to the second hall and speak slowly to see if what I said is reasonable." Li Zhengfeng was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but stretched out his hand to let Lu Bingqing go back to the second hall. The three turned back to the second hall, and then sat down separately. Lu Bingqing continued to say, "In my opinion, if the lord really let people go according to their wishes, there are at least three disadvantages."
"Oh? But which three points, please come one by one. Lu Bingqing said with a respectful look.
"One, adults must also know the embarrassing situation of our Gyeonggi Province in Daliang City, right? Ordinary people hate and fear us, but powerful people don't take us to heart. Why? Isn't it because whenever the powerful people commit crimes, we often favor, and the people are helplessness when they ask for help? This time, we finally got these black hands that have been harming the capital for many years. If we let everyone go, the people will look down on us more and more, and the majesty of the government will be greatly damaged.
Lu Bingqing often felt aggrieved about this point. Now when he thought about it, he nodded and nodded, "You're right. In this way, our Gyeonggi Province will completely become the lackey of those powerful families..."
"Second, if we let people go, those gangsters will naturally recognize their own depth and will not take the government regulations seriously. At that time, they will definitely become worse and let more people suffer reckless disasters. Is this what adults want to see?"
"The life of the people in the capital is hard enough to let these guys kill the people unscrupulously!" This time, Wang Guben couldn't help saying a word first.
"What about the third one?" Lu Bingqing did not comment much, but from his expression, he was obviously moved a lot, and there was only one reason left to convince himself.
"This third point is the most critical. Once our prestige is lost and the underworld people are arrogant, how will they deal with us? Your Excellency, although we haven't dealt with them yet, these villains are the most vengeful. If they can get out, I'm afraid that the adults and us will be retaliated by them, and they want to leave Kyoto safely.
This last point is the most critical. When Lu Bingqing heard this, his face became more gloomy: "You're right. This matter is not only a matter of the face of the government, but also related to our vital interests. These gangsters must be convicted, otherwise they will only bring unnecessary trouble to us. Speaking of this, he did not hesitate to say, "However, in this way, it is clear to refute the face of those people, and I'm afraid that there will be too many enemies in the officialdom in the future. And will these people, who are not small in power in the dynasty, watch them be convicted by me and not saved? Don't not only deal with people, but trap ourselves.
Li Zhengfeng smiled and said, "Your excellency is fascinated by the authorities. In fact, as long as you are determined to act in accordance with the law, those people will never dare to do anything happen, nor dare to rescue the gangsters. Because what these underworld people have committed is very clear, as long as adults make it public, no one dares to risk the world to oppose it. And at that time, these people are just anxious to take themselves out of the matter, not to save people.
"Yes. Mr. Li is really good at it. I'm indeed a little short-sighted.
"And in this view, this matter should also create momentum, so that the more people know the more crimes these people have committed, the better, so that some people want to revenge on adults afterwards, they have to consider whether they will be regarded as gangsters."
"Okay, just do what you want and make a big deal!" Lu Bingqing said and patted the table in front of him, obviously making a complete decision.
In order to completely reassure his adults, Li Zhengfeng followed: "And this matter has nothing to do with the seven people who are really in charge of the power of the Song Dynasty, so that adults have less resistance. In the final analysis, those other powerful families can only rely on the seven masters. What can they do? As long as adults hold themselves with the law and suppress it with officials, they are not afraid of what they will do!"
After three good voices, Lu Bingqing raised his voice and said, "Come on, the notice will be released early tomorrow morning. It is said that I want the people in the city who have been killed by the underworld to come to the government office to complain. No matter what the crime is, as long as there is a real matter, I will definitely accept it, and I will definitely do it in accordance with the law and give them justice.
The officials outside immediately answered. The whole night was busy, and the lights were on until dawn. Then in the early morning, a letter of public notice was posted on various traffic arteries in the capital, and some people announced such news to the illiterate people.
The people of the capital suddenly boiled up. With the scene of the previous two days, they still believed in the government's actions this time. In half a day, there were long queues outside the Gyeonggi government, all coming to complain and redress their grievances!
