Chapter 460 Extra: The People Da Yu Officials Fear Most (Part 4)

Spring Festival banquets in various places all open in the most bustling part of this city.

No matter what kind of restaurants, brothels, or gambling dens are around you, it won't stop Chun Bu Wan from having a place here.

There was no other way; in the early stages, even a thousand miles of progress were built by throwing money at it.

Later, Emperor Xiao Wu strongly supported him.

No matter what kind of local tyrants you have in your city, when you come to Chun Bu Wan's door, you have to bow down.

Once anyone joins the Spring Festival Gala, as long as they don't commit any illegal acts, no one can take them away from the Gala.

Soon, Spring Festival Gala became a unique phenomenon in every city.

Any ordinary person, no matter what they want to say, can speak during the Spring Festival.

You can also express your grievances and dissatisfaction on Spring Festival Gala.

The only thing that cannot be said is anything that shows contempt for imperial authority.

Of course, not everyone's words will receive a response.

But compared to having nowhere to turn in the government office, at least there's a glimmer of hope here!

What?

You said you didn't dare go to Spring Never Ends because you were afraid of being targeted by bad people. After all, there are many people and eyes in Spring Never Ends, what if bad people are watching you?

After all, you can't stay at Spring Festival Gala forever.

Having a pot of tea inside is quite expensive...

Don't worry, there's a quaint little basket at the back door of Chunbuwan.

If you have any grievances that no one cares about, and the government doesn't care, and you have nowhere else to turn for help, just write it down and put it in that little basket, and it will still work.

What? You still don't dare?

You're such a coward. Didn't you know to spend a little money to hire those little beggars to throw it away for you?

And so, almost all the people of Dayu knew about it.

When they have grievances, if the local government doesn't take action, they go to the local Chunbuwan (a local entertainment venue).

If your grievance is true and the local government truly refuses to take action, then someone higher up will naturally take care of it...

If those above start to take charge, then the officials in charge will be in for a rough time.

For these reasons, the officials in Chongqing are all very good-tempered now.

Having a good temper isn't enough; you also need to be capable and efficient!

We must solve the problems for ordinary people.

Only in this way can one perform one's duties as an official well, continue to be promoted, and bring honor to one's ancestors...

With this one move, Emperor Xiaowu completely controlled the officials of Dayu...

Privately, Huangfu Ruoxi asked Emperor Xiao Wu who came up with these ideas.

Emperor Xiao Wu said with a hint of pride, "I was inspired by my aunt!"

My aunt said that everyone has their weaknesses, especially those in officialdom.

My aunt said that as long as we find those people's weaknesses and find a way to restrain them, they will obey.

Look, aren't those officials now much more diligent than before?

This is far more effective than reasoning with them or appealing to their emotions!

Huangfu Ruoxi couldn't help but admire her. Her aunt was clever, His Majesty was clever, and Princess Pingning was even more clever to have accomplished all this...

Of course, at the beginning, some people didn't take the Spring Festival Gala seriously.

In a small town in Jiangnan, a nobleman was accused by a tenant farmer of having a relative forcibly abduct a woman.

He didn't take it seriously until later he realized it was impossible to get his arrested relatives out.

He immediately vented his anger on the shopkeeper of Chun Buwan.

In his view, if Chun Buwan hadn't reported these things, the official in charge of the mansion wouldn't have been reprimanded.

Family relatives will not have to face imprisonment.

After all, this matter has been going on for several years, and the local officials have changed twice. No official dares to take charge of this matter.

My uncle was once the prized student of the famous Xu Banchao!

On a dark and stormy night, one of the family's unfilial sons killed the owner of Chun Bu Wan restaurant and burned the restaurant down.

Of course, this guy hired bandits to do it, staging it as a murder and robbery scene.

The incident caused a sensation throughout Chongqing.

Upon learning of this matter, Princess Pingning immediately went to the palace to request an imperial decree to thoroughly investigate the case!

Before local officials could even provide any leads for the investigation!

The capital city sent a special person to investigate the matter.

The Imperial Guards also arrived at the same time...

Officials from the Court of Judicial Review and the Ministry of Justice were dispatched.

In just three days, the bandits who committed the crime, as well as the family that bribed them, were all arrested.

According to the rules of Dayu, the memorials for the execution of death row inmates had to be presented step by step for Emperor Xiaowu to review and approve.

Who would have thought that after those people signed and sealed the document, it was never sent to the capital?

Execute on the spot! All three generations of his immediate family members will be reduced to commoners, and their descendants will be barred from taking the imperial examinations for three generations...

The mastermind was beheaded in the busiest part of the city.

From that moment on, everyone in Da Yu knew that the Spring Festival Gala was a product of imperial power and could not be disregarded...

It was after this incident that people's perception of the Spring Festival Gala changed.

Spring is not late, and it has transformed from a small teahouse into a place that Chongqing officials least want to see but cannot ignore.

It's like wanting to do something bad, but always feeling like there are countless eyes watching you from behind.

Thus, Princess Pingning Shen Qingyue became the person that the officials of Dayu dared not offend the most.

This woman is ruthless!

They dare to do anything and say anything.

It's something everyone knows perfectly well, but she insists on making a big fuss about right and wrong...

And so, Shen Qingyue became known among these officials in private as the one who most loved to make false accusations.

The most talkative princess in Chongqing...

They just didn't expect that Shen Qingyue's behavior would go beyond simply tattling and gossiping...
