Chapter 556: The First Battle of the Three Redundancies (Part 9)



Having said that, Zhang Fei really didn't know who this old man was. He was either a retired official or holding some sinecure.

But one thing is certain, this old man takes himself too seriously and does not take Zhang Fei seriously.

However, many officials were unable to adapt to Zhang Fei's sudden strength for a while, and only came to their senses after Zhang Fei left.

"It's really lawless. They even dare to arrest Elder Liang."

"This kid finally showed his true colors."

"Governor Lu, are you just going to let this happen?"

"He has already sentenced the court to a fine. Do you think he would be afraid of this?"

"Well!"

Lü Gongru's words left all the officials present speechless.

yes!

...

...

If he dares to make such a judgment, do you think he will still care about an old man like you?

Provoke him now.

It's like holding a torch and shouting at someone carrying a bucket of gasoline.

Don't mention them, Chen Qi was a little dumbfounded. Just came back to his senses and said in disbelief: "Is he crazy?"

Su Che chuckled twice: "He is not crazy, at least he is much more sober than us. Since the court has decided to reduce the army, then this judgment is more conducive to the reduction of the army."

At this point, he turned around and glanced at the excited soldiers. "At the same time, he is seeking more compensation for the soldiers. He has won over everyone, so he doesn't need to be too cautious. Instead, he needs to show his authority and give the soldiers more confidence. The stronger he is now, the safer he will be."

Wang Shen said: "But can the court pay so much money?"

Su Che said: "If you can't pay it back, just owe it first."

"Zhang San, do you know who that old man is?"

Xu Zhiqian caught up and said breathlessly.

"have no idea."

Zhang Fei shook his head.

Xu Zhiqian said: "You dare to arrest someone without knowing it?"

Zhang Fei said: "If I knew, I wouldn't dare to arrest him. After all, the people I know who are this old are all people like Duke Fu, Duke Wen and Han Xianggong. If they want to make a fuss, I really don't dare, but I guess they won't be so stupid."

".!"

There seems to be nothing wrong.

Xu Zhiqian said: "This man is called Liang Youyi, from Hezhong Prefecture, and once served as the prefect of Daming Prefecture."

Zhang Fei frowned and asked, "Is this true?"

"real."

Xu Zhiqian nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Not at all."

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "To provoke me at this time, he really doesn't look like someone who used to be the prefect of Daming Prefecture. Didn't he see that the court had to cut down the army just because of my judgment?"

Xu Zhiqian blinked and said, "That's true. Anyway, we have already risked everything."

"Who said that?"

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Now is the time for us to close the net, and Liang Youyi is just the icing on the cake of the whole plan. We clearly tell those people that if they really break the law, we really dare to arrest them."

Xu Zhiqian said: "That is to say, even if someone begs for mercy later, you will not let them go."

Zhang Fei said: "Fifty strings of cash, not a penny less."

In fact, no one came to plead for mercy.

We are already enemies, what else are you begging for?

In the afternoon, Liang Youyi's grandson came to the imperial court with fifty strings of cash.

"Tell your Honorable Judge that this matter is by no means over."

Liang Youyi came out of the room, his old face red with anger. He pointed at Cai Jing and said, "I will definitely file a petition to impeach your imperial court."

Cai Jing smiled and said, "Sir, you can certainly impeach our imperial court, but I want to advise you not to resort to unruly means due to a momentary impulse.

I have heard that Wang Wenshan, the judge of Sinong Temple, Wang Hong, the magistrate of Kaifeng, and Gu Ji, the judge of Taifu Temple, all said the same thing as the old gentleman, and chose to take revenge on our teacher by any means. Now one of them is in Jiangzhou, one is in Qiongzhou, and the other is in Shuzhou. "

At this point, he looked up at Liang Youyi and said, "I heard that the old gentleman has retired for many years."

".?"

The implication is that even those officials in their prime have ended up like this, so you should just keep a low profile after being retired for so long.

All I can say is that times have changed!

This verdict can be said to be both unexpected and reasonable.

They did intend to force the imperial court to order compensation, but they really didn't expect the imperial court to be so cruel.

The key is that Liang Youyi added icing on the cake, making this judgment more authoritative.

The officials were all furious.

But inside the military camp, there was genuine jubilation and the soldiers were completely relieved. With the Imperial Court around, they had nothing to worry about.

However, the imperial edict was late at this time.

He ordered Wang Shao and Guo Kui to preside over the disarmament, while Cai Yanqing and Yuan Jiang were responsible for finance.

The four of them suddenly realized it was Alexander.

Today, the strongest lineup of Shaanxi Road gathered at the Transportation Department.

Among them are Wang Shao, Guo Kui, Yuan Jiang, Lu Gongru, Cai Yanqing, and so on.

Tang Zhongwen's mouth twitched, and he looked at Wang Shao aggrievedly, "Wang Wang Jinglüe, let...let us cooperate with the imperial court?"

Wang Shao closed his eyes and stroked his beard, sighed, then suddenly opened his eyes and said excitedly: "Don't you understand? The imperial court has made a ruling, and the court has ordered me and Envoy Guo to preside over the disarmament, and let Yuan Xueshi and Cai Zhifu be responsible for compensation.

What does this mean? This means that the judgment of the imperial court is just like the imperial decree. If you don’t believe it, you can try it again. Take the accounts of the Legation House and file a complaint again. Force the imperial court to make a judgment. Try it and see if he dares to convict you.”

Tang Zhongwen was so frightened that his hands were shaking.

Of course it won't work if you use yourself to fight!

Wei Yingfang said tremblingly: "How can the imperial court have such great power?"

To gain the support of the imperial court, it is not enough to have the support of the government officials, but one also needs the nod of the prime ministers. Ordinary government offices cannot achieve this.

It seems that no government agency has achieved this.

The two factions in the court are incompatible. If one supports, the other will definitely oppose!

Outrageous!

Wang Shao was also a little confused and said, "I don't know either, but that's the fact. If we don't cooperate with the Royal Court and don't discuss it in advance, then we can't do anything, because now no matter what we do, we have to consider whether someone will go to the Royal Court or the Procuratorate to complain."

Cao Yi, who was sitting at the end, said, "Doesn't that mean that whatever we do will be controlled by the imperial court?"

Guo Kui said: "You are the ones who want to hand the evidence to the imperial court, so of course you have to be under his control. Isn't that what you want?"

".!"

Having said that, they really wanted to slap themselves twice.

You have to be stupid to do such a thing, just to deliver yourself to someone else and be slaughtered.

But they never expected that the imperial court would decide to disarm because of this verdict.

That’s a bit exaggerated!

Guo Kui added: "Disarmament is no small matter. None of you here can take on this responsibility. We still have to put the overall situation first."

What this means is that now all the responsibility is on our shoulders. If something goes wrong, I’m not sure whether the royal court will be held responsible, but our career will end here.

Yuan Jiang sighed and said, "Okay! Please invite them."

He is now the leader against the imperial court, so after he said this, other officials naturally did not dare to say more.

The next day, Wang Shao invited the three giants of public security, procuratorial and judicial departments to come to the Transportation Bureau in his own name.

Cao Dongdong sat down on the chair and held his chin with one hand. The meaning was very clear: this matter has nothing to do with me and I will not get involved. I don’t even know why you invited me to such a serious occasion.

Their police station has made a lot of money quietly and has good relations with all parties, so it is not easy to offend either side.

Wang Shao also ignored him and asked first: "Judge Zhang, Chief Prosecutor Su, when you made the judgment, did you consider that the court might not be able to come up with so much money?"

Zhang Fei first looked at Su Zhe.

Su Che made a gesture of invitation.

Zhang Fei said: "Our imperial court has fully considered this. First, delaying or withholding military pay is illegal. I don't think there is anything worth disputing here.

Secondly, I have considered the financial issue, so I am not ordering the court to pay compensation immediately, but it is reasonable to ask the government to come up with a compensation plan.

Third, your annual salary is at least over a thousand guan, and the ability that matches this salary is definitely not to solve the problem by defaulting on debts, so anyone can do it. "

The faces of the officials present turned green.

This is such a naked irony!

Wei Yingfang argued: "It is not up to us to decide how much money the three departments allocate."

Su Che said: "But you decided to transfer the money from the military treasury to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

".!"

If you want to talk about the Legation House, there's no point in chatting today.

Cai Yanqing waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about these for now. Now we need to clarify the issue of disarmament and compensation."

Zhang Fei immediately said: "This is your responsibility. We in the imperial court have no right to interfere."

Wang Shao almost bit his tongue when he heard this.

You just poke and then you don't take any responsibility.

I have never seen such a shameless person.

Yuan Jiang said excitedly: "But you have already intervened."

Zhang Fei said: "Withholding or delaying military pay is illegal, and ruling the country against the law will seriously harm the interests of the country and the monarch.

If there is no problem with our royal court's ruling, then I can only give you a suggestion, either find a way to come up with a compensation plan.

Or, report to the court and say you can't do anything. What I really don't understand is that this is clearly a wrong thing, but you let others make concessions for you and help you conceal these things. Even more outrageous is that you think it's natural to break the law. If you can't do it, why can't you tell the court clearly. "

The gentlemen present here can't help but ask, are you here to discuss this?

You are here to mock us!

Wang Shao frowned and said, "It seems that inviting you here today was a wrong decision."

“It’s absolutely wrong.”

Zhang Fei spread his hands and said, "Our imperial court and the procuratorate cannot interfere with the administration. And we don't ask you to pick the moon. This is a matter of course and it is your responsibility. You just need to do it as a matter of course.

You can't just say, we have no other options now, can we break the law first? Don't you think this is weird?"

Everyone understood that he was not really here to discuss matters.

Guo Kui said coldly: "Excuse me."

"We interrupted."

Zhang Fei stood up and said, "Goodbye."

Su Che also stood up and bowed.

"Ah! You're leaving now?"

Cao Dongdong woke up as if from a dream.

Zhang Fei said: "You can also stay a little longer."

"I still have something to do in the office, so I'll take my leave now."

Cao Dongdong hurriedly stood up and bowed respectfully to his uncles. Among the three giants of public security, procuratorial and judicial organs, this kid was the most polite.

As soon as they left the house, Wei Yingfang fanned the flames, saying, "You all have seen that this kid is stubborn and is deliberately going against us."

Yuan Jiang frowned and said, "So we must not let him look down on us. We must find a way to complete the task assigned to us by the court."

When Cai Yanqing heard this, he immediately felt relieved.

Wang Shao nodded and said, "Master Yuan is right. If this matter is to be brought to the court, then we must first submit our resignation, saying that we cannot ensure that every soldier receives the required military pay."
