i became the villain

Chapter 295

The moment the plaintiff who sued the Xu family entered the courtroom, some people couldn't sit still.

The main reason is that he knows the accuser who sued the Xu family, and knows that this is the Xu family's enemy, the one who wishes for the entire Xu family to die.

These are not the most important things. The most important thing is that the official who is temporarily sitting on the official position has an inexplicable relationship with the Xu family.

The fish died and the net was broken.

If the Xu family really breaks the pot, if there is one and bites one, the end of this person is completely conceivable, and it will definitely be very miserable.

Do not forget.

Before he was promoted, Dong Tiancheng had already put his harsh words on the ground. No matter who it was, as long as he was corrupt, even if it was a tael of silver, he, Dong Tiancheng, would never be merciful.

Although these people are not very clear about Dong Tiancheng's character, they also know that Dong Tiancheng is a ruthless person who will do what he says, and will do it to death.

Perhaps for this reason, this official who had an inexplicable relationship with the Xu family swallowed subconsciously.

In the silent courtroom, the sound of swallowing saliva was unusually piercing, which provoked many people, and they all looked over.

Seeing everyone looking at him and swallowing his saliva, the one who swallowed his saliva smiled embarrassedly, then clasped his fists together and said to Dong Tiancheng: "My lord, the matter of reform and reform is related to the interests of the imperial court. No matter who it is, as long as it obstructs the reform, it should be ruthless. If the matter of the Xu family is true, the officials are willing to take people there, arrest them all, and listen to the adults."

some words.

It has two meanings.

One layer of meaning is to use these words to divert the attention of everyone present.

After all, the feeling of being stared at is extremely bad.

Another meaning is to use these words to secretly warn the plaintiff that there are some things that can be said, and some things that cannot be said. If they say it, the plaintiff will probably die.

As for the plaintiff, whether he can understand his meaning is beyond the expectations of this official.

In front of the public, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he can't walk in front of the plaintiff alone, let's tell the truth!

First, Dong Tiancheng would not agree.

Secondly, the officials present were not happy either.

interesting.

After hearing the official's words, Dong Tiancheng had such a weird thought in his heart, he ignored the official who spoke, but went straight to the accuser lying under the courtroom, and said, " The plaintiff, who is the last name, who is suing, come here one by one."

"Reporting to my lord, the villain's name is Li Si, and he is from the local Lijiazhuang. The villain's sue is not someone else, but the Xu family in Xujiazhuang, ten miles away from Lijiazhuang." Li Si will sue the Xu family, and said Once again, "My lord, there is a river between Lijiazhuang and Xujiazhuang. In the past, the residents of the two towns crossed the river by a bamboo bridge on the river. But this bamboo bridge was built with the money of the Xu family, so all people who cross the river, as long as If you walk on the bamboo bridge, you have to pay the Xu family's bridge toll, but after the announcement of the new policy of the adults, the Xu family demolished the bamboo bridge privately. This move is clearly against the emperor's new policy If you are dissatisfied, you are dissatisfied with the adults who preside over local political affairs, and I hope you will learn from me."

"My lord, the Xu family is so disrespectful, why don't you take someone from the humble position to the Xu family and bring the person in charge of the Xu family." The official who warned the plaintiff just now, seeing that his warning had no effect, For some purpose, he took the initiative to invite Ying to Dong Tiancheng, intending to take people to Xujiazhuang to arrest the person in charge of Xujiazhuang.

Meat buns beat dogs.

There is no return.

How could Dong Tiancheng let the dog that eats the meat bun go to the place where the meat bun is?

Therefore, Dong Tiancheng ignored the official asking for a fight, but turned his head and handed over the matter to his confidant Ah Er to execute, "Why do you use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken? Why bother Mr. Xu to go in person for such trivial matters, Ah Second, you bring someone to bring the person in charge of the Xu family."

"No." Ah Ren took the order and left.

Ah Er led the order to go to Xujiazhuang to arrest the person in charge of the Xu family, but this caused the entire court to fall into an inexplicable silence.All the officials didn't know what they were going to do. They stared and stared, you looked at me, I looked at you, no one spoke, but secretly communicated with each other with their eyes.

In this regard.

Dong Tiancheng didn't care about it either, he pretended not to see it, and suddenly reached out to pick up the teacup in front of him, using the teacup as a wine cup, he said to the officials present: "Everyone, this tea is just like people, it has a different flavor Every time I look at it, it has a different taste, Mr. Chief Executive, I wonder if what the governor said is right?"

The chief envoy didn't expect that Dong Tiancheng would bring the topic up to himself, he paused in embarrassment, and then said to Dong Tiancheng: "I think what your lord said is serious."

"Then tell me, when the person in charge of the Xu family is caught in the lobby, how should I make a decision?" Dong Tiancheng threw another heavy bomb out.

He even let the chief envoy make up his mind.

This was something that the chief envoy had never thought of before. After a brief moment of stupefaction, he said a panacea-like words to Dong Tiancheng, "Your Excellency will give you orders."

"You, you're a little tricky." Dong Tiancheng pointed at the chief envoy, and said, "The implementation of the new policy is an errand assigned by the emperor. I waived the bridge toll, but the Xu family privately gave up the bamboo bridge. It was dismantled. In the eyes of outsiders, the Xu family's move is clearly dissatisfied with the new policies implemented by the emperor, and dissatisfied with the governor who is in charge of local political affairs. Deal with the Xu family?"

Second question.

Ask the same question a second time, and to the same person.

move.

It makes people emerge a series of articles.

"My lord, in my opinion, this matter should be severely punished. The majesty of the emperor cannot be provoked. However, if the murder is too serious, it will not be good for the emperor's reputation. The emperor governs the world with benevolence and justice, so this is why I am an official." I think that the person in charge of the Xu family should be killed, but the other members of the Xu family are innocent, let them go for the sake of their first offense."

"Your Excellency Chief Executive, you really have the heart of a bodhisattva, and I have been educated." Dong Tiancheng praised.

After talking.

He picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip happily, then tilted his hand, and the teacup in his hand fell straight to the ground and shattered.

At the same time as the teacup shattered, Dong Tiancheng's gloomy voice sounded in the hall, "You are still too soft-hearted, what I mean, kill without mercy, no matter if it is a man, a woman, an old man, or a child, as long as you If you have something to do with the Xu family, you deserve to die. If you want to blame others, blame them for spoiling the emperor's affairs. The emperor's affairs are bigger than the sky. No matter who it is, as long as they spoil the emperor's affairs, I, Dong Tiancheng, will kill them. See Is it their hard head, or my Dong Tiancheng's sharpness."

The murderous words provoked a group of officials in the hall, subconsciously shaking their bodies, they felt that there was something in Dong Tiancheng's words.

Obviously he was talking about the Xu family's affairs, but he was actually warning them not to push back against the emperor's new policy, otherwise the Xu family's fate would be the fate of those present.

The Xu family died not so much because of their own death, but because they died for officials like them.

If it weren't for these officials who pushed back and forth against the emperor's new policy, Dong Tiancheng would not have had the idea of ​​killing chickens to scare monkeys.

In this drama of killing chickens and monkeys.

The Xu family bumped in unintentionally.

Who asked them to dismantle the bamboo bridge, and it happened that the Xu family's opponents stabbed this matter in front of Dong Tiancheng, so Dong Tiancheng had to treat the Xu family as the poor chicken in the play of killing chickens and monkeys .

Since it is a scene of killing chickens to scare monkeys, the heavier the chickens to kill, the better, otherwise how can we scare monkeys?

To know.

None of these magistrates are fuel-efficient.

To shock them.

The entire Xu family was completely wiped out by Dong Tiancheng.

Just as the official had worried, the head of the Xu family, who learned that he was going to die, broke the jar and bit out many people.

Those who were bitten out were captured by Dong Tiancheng on the spot.

……

Chief envoy Yamen.

The chief envoy who came back from the governor's office kept yelling at Dong Tiancheng the moment he entered the door, "Rogue, ruffian, hooligan, bastard, you speak so loudly, who doesn't know that you are trying to make an example of others. Use the death of the Xu family to shock us people. Damn it, you say it well, but you are actually a ruffian, an uneducated ruffian, how could the emperor let such a ruffian preside over local affairs?"

under.

They were all the confidant officials of the chief envoy. These people all turned blue and kept silent, allowing the chief envoy to scold Dong Tiancheng.

For a while.

After the chief envoy got tired of scolding Dong Tiancheng and stopped scolding Dong Tiancheng, a petty official sighed and said to the chief envoy: "My lord, I think Dong Tiancheng is after us. If he doesn't kill us, he will not kill us." Let it go. My lord, even if we want to join him now, we don't have time. Dong Tiancheng has already calculated the days, and secondly, he has grasped the weaknesses of us people. What should we do? Swearing at people is not right, it will only disturb your mood."

Hearing the words of his confidant official, the chief envoy sighed like him, patted the official's shoulder with his hands, and said: "Just now, this official lost his composure. If you think about it carefully, it is clear that it is not that simple. What’s going on, we still have a way, we haven’t lost yet.”

Those officials, who seemed to be dead family members, seemed to grasp something when they heard what the chief executive said. While looking up at the chief minister, they all asked in unison: "I hope you will learn from me."

"Everyone, think about it, why did Dong Tiancheng do this?" the chief envoy asked back.

"New Deal?" An official said to the point, "Dong Tiancheng did this for the New Deal."

"Master Liu is right. Dong Tiancheng's goal is not on you, nor on this official, but on the New Deal." Thinking of the key point, the chief envoy looked at his confidant officials and explained: "Dong Tiancheng What are you doing here? It was ordered by the emperor to implement the New Deal. Why did the Emperor give Dong Tiancheng so much power? In the final analysis, it is for the New Deal. Now that the New Deal is not going well here, who is most anxious? Not us It is Dong Tiancheng. As long as the implementation of the New Deal is not smooth, Dong Tiancheng will be dereliction of duty. What are the consequences of dereliction of duty? It is Dong Tiancheng who will lose the trust of the emperor, and he will die at that time. As the saying goes, the weak are afraid of the strong , Those who are strong are afraid of dying. He did this to fight us desperately, do you understand now?"

An official responded quickly, "Your Excellency, what you mean is that Dong Tiancheng took so much trouble to sing such a big show for us because we failed to implement the New Deal?"

The governor nodded.

Before, the chief envoy thought that by tying all the officials together, he could have a good time with Dong Tiancheng, but after today's incident, the chief envoy suddenly found out that his plan seemed to be wrong.

Dong Tiancheng did not play cards according to the routine. If Dong Tiancheng was pushed to a corner, Dong Tiancheng might really kill them.

Life.

There is only one.

Isn't the purpose of climbing to the high position of chief executive just to enjoy the glory and wealth?
If you lose your life, how can you enjoy the glory and wealth?

In view of this kind of thinking, the chief minister thought that his idea of ​​competing with Dong Tiancheng before was a bit ridiculous. If Dong Tiancheng wanted to carry out the New Deal here, let him carry out the New Deal. Why did he want to take the lead and compete with Dong Tiancheng?

money.

It's almost done, and it's time to stop.

It is also a distressing thing to have money but not to spend it.

Life does not bring it, death does not bring it.

So much money, enough to enjoy a lifetime of happiness.

If the fish dies and the net is broken, no one will feel good. At that time, the money will fall into whose hands and who will be cheaper.

So the chief envoy didn't want to force Dong Tiancheng.

at the same time.

Governor Yamen.

Ah Er stood aside and said to Dong Tiancheng: "My lord, I don't understand this matter."

Dong Tiancheng looked at Ah Er, and explained: "Why did I punish the Xu family with severe punishment? The new policy is a matter of the emperor's account, which concerns the entire Song Dynasty. I follow the emperor's will to carry out the new policy in the local area, eliminating the need for excessive punishment." Bridge tolls and other miscellaneous taxes were exorbitantly imposed, but the Xu family demolished the bamboo bridge in front of Xujiazhuang on the second day after the official's new policy was announced. This matter is actually a test question. If the official leaves the Xu family alone, the new policy will not be implemented smoothly. Other families will follow the example of the Xu family one by one. At that time, what should I do with the emperor's errands? What should I do with the Song Dynasty? So in this matter, I must be ruthless and severely punish the Xu family, so as to have the effect of killing chickens and monkeys. Other families don’t dare to violate the New Deal. Heavy punishment to the Xu family is actually saving other families.”

"My lord, Ah Er has been taught." Ah Er cupped his fists and bowed to Dong Tiancheng.

"Superiors, there are some things that need to be done, and some things that don't need to be done, but must be done. This is the helplessness of our superiors. If people in the world really want to scold me, just scold me, Dong Tiancheng." Dong Tiancheng said.
