Chapter 194 A Different Bureaucracy

Chapter 194 A Different Bureaucracy

"Don't dare! The next official is also thinking about the reputation of the department hall!"

Sun Guangyou replied at this time.

Hai Rui laughed sneeringly: "Although the hall knows that it is not easy to be dug out by Hao You, who controls these thugs and ordinary students behind the scenes, but it does not mean that the hall does not know their methods! If these trespassing officials are allowed to If all the people go out safely, then they will continue to trespass in the official office in the future, thinking that as long as no one is killed, they will be fine."

"So, where is the majesty of the imperial court, and how can it control the place?"

Hai Rui asked a question.

Then, Hai Rui looked at Sun Guangyou and other civil officials and said, "I know what you mean. Most of you are foreigners just like me. Either you really want to protect the local rich and powerful, or you are really worried. Doing so in this church will completely anger Hao You, and cut off the way for them to continue to instigate the rioters to make trouble behind their backs;”

"However, Bentang would rather cut off their path if he has a bad reputation!"

"Otherwise, not only will it be difficult for a foreign official in this hall, but it will also be difficult for you foreign officials!"

"For us foreigners, as officials, power comes from the imperial court. If the majesty of the imperial court is not there, then who will take us seriously? How can we implement the policies we want to implement?!"

After finishing speaking, Hai Rui said to Luo Shangzhi, "Mr. Luo Qian, the civil servants of this hall and others are temporarily staying in the backyard. Please Jinwu guards quickly wipe out the rebels!"

"Please don't worry, Minister!"

Luo Sigong replied.

Hai Rui nodded, and walked to the backyard with Lu Kun and Tang Chuanxun.

"Haigang Peak!"

At this moment, Sun Guangyou roared with a cold face.

Hai Rui couldn't help but stop teaching, looked back and said, "Your Excellency, do you still have a lesson?"

"This court will impeach you for carrying out strict laws and slaughtering the living people very seriously. This is a great evil for the emperor's benevolence!"

Sun Guangyou said in a deep voice.

"Please!"

"It's nothing more than dismissal from office!"

"In this way, it is exactly what you want."

Hai Rui sneered, and replied, and then took the initiative to ask:

"Don't you guys really want to smell the smell of blood here, instead of sitting in the backyard of the hall, drinking tea, and thinking about how to draft an article to impeach the hall?"

After Sun Guangyou thought about it, he had no choice but to follow.

"what!"

Boom!

Pfft!

Not long after, gunshots rang out.

The spear also pierces, like a shuttle in the state of weaving.

Blood splattered inside and outside the governor's office.

Except for the real students who were put in prison because of their higher social status, and waited for the emperor to personally judge them, all the thugs present were suppressed, and none of them survived.

After Sun Guangyou and other civil officials came to the backyard, they didn't talk to Hai Rui anymore.

Because although Sun Guangyou and others are also Zhang Juzheng's henchmen, they are still different bureaucrats from Hai Rui in essence.

Hai Rui wanted to be more idealistic.

Sun Guangyou and others were mostly officials, or purely instrumental bureaucrats.

And Hai Rui was the politician who dared to impeach the emperor and was the first politician in Nanzhili to promote and continue the reform thought of Gui E, the reformer of Jiajing Dynasty, in the whole province.

Therefore, they and Hai Rui couldn't talk about going together.

After the suppression ended, Sun Guangyou and others left Hai Rui's place.

And not long after, Yin Li of Ying Tianfu arrested the owner of the three offenders, and several so-called students suspected of framing the National Taxation Department and organizing troubles in the governor's office, and put them in prison, and informed Hai Rui.

In fact, these people were not arrested, but surrendered themselves.

There is no way not to surrender.

After all, Hai Rui said that if they did not surrender, their clan would be implicated.

……

"What's going on! Didn't you say that it was just a complaint? How did it turn into a murder of imperial envoys!"

And on the night when these people were arrested and imprisoned, Lu Huo was also in his backyard, with a dissatisfied face, and he questioned Gu Bingren, a local tycoon who had served as the inspector of salt in a deep voice.

Gu Bingren also smiled helplessly, and replied: "We didn't expect this to happen either!"

"After all, who would have thought that those students below did not follow our orders?!"

"In order to completely stop the New Deal where officials and gentry pay food and errands together, these students want to force Hai Rui to withdraw the troops of the National Taxation Department!"

"In the end, what people didn't expect was that Hai Rui was so cunning that Zhou Zhiyi, that bastard, confessed with just a few words, forcing Ran Yuan and the others to use their wits to get the thugs to kill Hai Rui directly."

"Of course, those who fight in the industry didn't expect that this Jinwu Guard who was born in the southern army would really be so powerful."

"The so-called heroes of the rivers and lakes who bought a lot of money boasted that they were steel and iron, and they were extremely powerful. They were called Xiao Li Guang and Sai Rengui. In the end, apart from bullying the common people, they were really useful, and they were useless when they met the Tian family's officers and soldiers. .”

"As a result, our people were wiped out, and none of them were seriously injured!"

"I thought that thousands of Lianjiazi, armed with axes and bones, plus firecrackers from Xiyi, could defeat the thousands of heavenly soldiers left in the governor's office, but who would have thought it would be the opposite? My side has suffered heavy losses, and the three biggest thugs in Yingtian Mansion have all been taken away!"

"After that, those lowly tenant tenants and lowly slaves have changed. If they want to suppress it, they can only ask the government to come forward. At that time, they will have to pay more money!"

After Gu Bingren said that, he also clenched his fists, with a look of disappointment on his face.

"Kill that Ran Yuan! Don't implicate us!"

Lu Huo also clenched his fist, with a lonely face, and said in a deep voice.

Gu Bingren nodded: "It's better for you to ask for punishment yourself, and admit that these people who broke into the governor's office are rebels, lest the court doubt your position!"

"I know!"

Lu Huo then said: "Next, don't directly face the attack on the government office, and you should remember it long. Hai Rui, besides holding him high and letting the court promote him, there are other methods Will not work!"

"Of course I don't dare! But like the Huizhou silk case, it's still okay to bully the common people and rob ordinary merchants. It will give Hai Rui a headache!"

Gu Bingren sneered as he spoke.

Lu Huo also sneered: "Then it will be chaotic, the more chaotic the better, so that the court will know that Hai Rui's way is not good, it will only make Jiangnan more and more chaotic, and Daming's money bag will not be able to collect money at all. Cut it off, and there will be no military supplies for the war!"

……

"It's finally over. No wonder the imperial court has to send troops to the south to collect taxes. Otherwise, it's really hard to implement the government and gentry paying food and errands together."

On the same night, Lu Kun came to Hai Rui to say something.

Hai Rui sat in the gazebo under the moon, his face sank like water: "The real storm hasn't come yet!"

Lu Kun couldn't help asking: "Really, then how should we deal with it?"

"It's not just the imperial court that is afraid of chaos, but also the people in the world who don't want to be people in a troubled world. The root cause is to fall into what I said to you. You must know that mobilizing the people, you can't just let the powerful right people to mobilize the people."

Hai Rui said.

Tang Chuanxun, after hearing what Hai Rui said, asked, "What about Haoyou who is behind the scenes, can the common people get rid of it?"

"It depends on how determined the emperor and Yuansu are!"

……

"I am in good health, except for a slight cold at the beginning of the month, and I have recovered, there is no serious problem."

"I see, your handwriting is really ugly!"

"The weather in Beijing is okay, not as hot as last year."

Forbidden City.

The moonlit night is slightly cool.

While eating the grapes that Empress Du handed over, Zhu Yijun was replying to the census sent to him by the Minister of Quan.

The secret memorials are basically approved by Zhu Yijun himself, not by others.

And Zhu Yijun also knew the details of Hai Rui and Hu Shouren's tax supervision in Yangzhou through the secret report, including the recent weather conditions in Yangzhou. He knew everything.

However, because communication takes time, although there is water transport between the north and the south of Zhili, because it can travel around the clock, which greatly shortens the communication time, the fastest one-way journey takes half a month.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun still doesn't know about Hai Rui and others in Yingtian. He just learned about the case of the former Minister of Rites of Nanjing, Jia Cunren, and his family being suspected of treason, and about the fact that some high-ranking officials and gentry did not pay taxes because they were overdue, and Zhang Zongxi, etc. To instigate the unruly people to plot chaos.

While Zhu Yijun knew the specific situation of Hai Rui and other officers and soldiers of the National Taxation Department supervising taxes, the courtiers also knew the situation of Hai Rui and others directly supervising taxes in the south through their personal relationships.

Zhang Sijiao even went back to the capital in person, came to Zhang Siwei's official residence, and said to Zhang Siwei: "Hai Rui treated the gentry too harshly in Yangzhou. Is there really nothing you can do about him?"
