Chapter 789
Ye Hua is not the idle emperor who has nothing to do, visits everywhere in private, collects beauties and handles corrupt officials. He has a lot of things in his hands. This time he goes to Jiangnan in a sub-distance manner, one is the way, and the other is the troubles of Jiangnan.
Three years ago, Wei Xianmei proposed that the land annexation in Jiangnan and the rapid development of industry and commerce have caused very serious consequences. Three years have passed, and the accumulated contradictions can be imagined.
On the way, Ye Hua had already made many predictions, but after seeing it, he realized that reality could always exceed people's imagination... A worker who died tragically could only get ten taels of silver for compensation, but his family didn't sue him.
A representative of the parliamentary deputy on Jiangnan Road can cover the sky with his own hands, even interfere in disaster relief matters, treating the people as fish. A businessman who returned from farming just borrows some food from the people and treats them as pirates!
Black and white are reversed, right and wrong are inseparable!
Is this Jiangnan now?
Ye Hua's anger has reached an unparalleled level.
However, he did not reveal his identity immediately, but asked the woman to drive the ship and leave quietly. He landed at the next ferry. Ye Hua also asked the woman to find money. Instead, he smiled and said, "In a few days, someone will come to invite you mother and daughter over, and then you can just tell the truth."
The woman wanted to ask a few more questions. Ye Hua had already left quickly. The little girl stared at Ye Hua's back and suddenly asked, "Mom, this uncle isn't he?"
The woman pondered for a while, "Let's go back and send you and two younger brothers to my grandmother's house. You must be obedient and take care of your younger brothers!"
As she spoke, the woman's tears churned in her eyes... She noticed that when Ma Xiang and the others came, the veins in the common man's temple collapsed and he was extremely angry.
Maybe he came for these people, right? His husband's revenge must be relied on him!
But I really don’t know whether he can beat Ma Xiang.
In the eyes of women, Ma Xiang is extremely powerful!
No matter what, she will have a life, just fight!
It's just a few children who are suffering...
Ye Hua did not go directly to Jinling, but found Ye Wu and the guards waiting in Qinhuai first.
"Brother, you are the Prime Minister of our Great Zhou. The private visits on a private tour are too dangerous. Let us follow us in the future! I heard that there was a fighting just now!"
Ye Hua snorted, "If you are huddling, what can I see! What's more, the news of my arrival in Jinling is probably revealed."
Ye Wu was so scared that he hurriedly covered his mouth, "Brother, I didn't say anything!"
"I didn't say you anymore!" Ye Hua said angrily: "Go to the inn first, and go back and get me all the newspapers in Jinling.
"Abide by the order!"
Ye Wu led fifty people to escort Ye Hua into Jinling and came to the inn. Ye Hua washed up, changed into a loose robe, and was having a meal when the newspaper was delivered, a thick stack, with the aroma of ink.
But when Ye Hua smelled it, there was only the smell of copper!
Disgusting smell of money!
These newspapers are similar, and can basically be divided into three types of news... The first category is what a wealthy person does, the world is shocked and the universe is shocked; the second category is sensational news, such as someone bites a dog madly, a sixty-year-old man is happy to have a noble son, and the child's biological father is the other person; the third category is the messy advertisements, such as overseas magic medicines, immortality, health care, and prolong life. There are also words from a certain imperial physician above to prove the effect of the medicine. It is amazing. Not to mention Ye Hua, even Ye Wu can't stand it anymore.
"Brother, I said these newspapers are boring enough! Why don't you write something useful?"
Ye Hua snorted, "Where do they make money when they have useful things? These beasts don't even want some shame!" Ye Hua hummed angrily and actually asked him to find a report.
The above is about the disaster in the Yangtze River... In the report, the reporter praised the merchants in Jiangnan for unity, benefiting their hometown, voluntarily paying money and grain, relieving the worries of the court, and relieving the disaster victims... The reporter was very good at writing and praised Ma Xiang, saying that he was generous and righteous, and was the example of Confucian businessmen.
At the end of the article, the reporter also made a suggestion. He believed that the court should give preferential treatment to merchants to take out their wealth and help the people.
For example, the amount of donations can be used to deduct taxes, etc.!
Ye Hua poked the last paragraph hard, his fists clenched!
The fox's tail is revealed!
Is Ma Xiang called charity? It was obviously a trick to take advantage of the situation and rob! He ate the people's land and forced the people to work for him. This is not the end, but he actually wants to reduce taxes!
Eat three fish and kill three birds!
Be well-planned!
It is said that Ye Hua can do business. Compared with these people, Ye Hua is simply too young. He is the master who can play the business to the extreme!
Confucian businessman!
Pooh!
Although Ye Hua doesn’t like the word Ru very much, he is even sorry for Shang like Ma Xiang! He is just a scumbag!
If it were Ye Hua, ten years ago, directly ordered the arrest and confiscation of his home. The extent to which he could track down was to what extent he had to use his head to shock the entire Jiangnan officialdom.
But now, Ye Hua has a better way.
He pondered for a moment, "You go find Feng Ping and tell him to take Fang Dafa's case over. Didn't Ma Xiang say he was a thief? Just let Ma Xiang be the plaintiff, Feng Ping personally interrogate him. I will also go to the lobby to stare at it and see this good show!"
Ye Wu said anything else, and he would do whatever his elder brother told him.
Three days later, the interrogation began.
Feng Ping is the eldest son of old Feng Dao. He has been sitting in the Hanlin Academy for many years. As his name suggests, he is a little mediocre, but he has not been in vain in recent years. He studied law and studied criminal law, and was the second jurist in the Great Zhou Dynasty after Fan Zhi.
More than half a year ago, Feng Ping mentioned the Jiangnan Road prison affairs and actually handled many cases.
But compared to this time, what he has to face is the trickiest one!
But the damn Ye Hua didn't show up, and sat at the side door, making it look like a sword hanging in front of him. Feng Ping felt uncomfortable all over.
When my father was there, he was afraid of Ye Hua. So many years have passed, and his fear has not weakened at all.
The cloud board outside sounded and the interrogation was about to begin. He shook his head hard, temporarily put Ye Hua aside, and tried the case with all his might!
As for Ye Hua, he was sitting with a smile. Beside him, a little girl stood, leaning out from time to time to see the situation in the lobby. Among the supplies, there was a woman sitting nervously, at a loss.
She obviously sent her daughter to her father's house, so how could she appear in the yamen?
Ye Hua chuckled, "I told them to bring you mother and daughter, and the people below were reckless in doing things, and they brought her from their grandfather's house without your consent. I will blame them when I turned around."
The woman nodded barely, and the little girl looked at Ye Hua curiously, then pointed to Feng Ping sitting in the main seat.
"Uncle, who is the older of you two?"
Ye Hua smiled, "He is dozens of years older than me. If he didn't see it, his beard turned white!"
"oh!"
The little girl was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that the uncle was talking about her age, but she was not asking this! The little girl was very anxious, and at this time, Ma Xiang and Fang Dafa had been brought up.
Fang Dafa was completely in the fog and didn't know anything. As for Ma Xiang, he knew a little about the news. Feng Ping's sudden intervention in this case gave him a headache.
The bandits are a big case, especially colluding with pirates, which is even more unforgivable!" Feng Ping glanced at Ma Xiang, "You said this person is a pirate, what evidence is there?"
"This... I just doubt it... but three years ago, he was just a shopkeeper of a noodle restaurant. He left his hometown for three years. He suddenly came back with food and distributed the victims to win people's hearts. In my opinion, his appearance was suspicious and his behavior was strange... If it weren't for a pirate, he was not a good person, so I arrested him and wanted to hand it over to the county government. I had asked clearly!"
Feng Ping remained silent, "Did the county government understand?"
"I basically understand that Fang Dafa is not a pirate, he is indeed successful in farming... But he is just a commoner, and he actually wins away the victims with food. It can be seen that he has bad intentions. I think according to the criminal system, he should be beaten dozens of times and expelled, and he will never be allowed to return home!" As a representative of the parliament, Ma Xiang has the same power as the officials. He does not have to kneel down in the lobby and talk freely, and the county government must be afraid of seven points.
He did not ask Fang Dafa for his life, and he had already made a favour. People watching outside muttered, thinking that Ma Xiang, who was always ruthless, could he take special care of Fang Dafa?
How could they know that since they got their uncle's secret letter, Ma Xiang had been thinking about how to wipe his butt clean, but he didn't want to cause trouble, and there was nothing left after Fang Da gave it.
But his idea was too simple, Feng Ping slapped the table suddenly.
"Ma Xiang, I am the judge. You are just a plaintiff. What should I do? You don't need to command me!" Feng Ping's tone was deep, and Ma Xiang couldn't tell whether he was really angry or performed on purpose, but he just kept saying no.
Feng Ping looked at Fang Dafa, "Why did you give food to the victims? Is it as the plaintiff said, do you have any intention?"
Fang Dafa slowly raised his head. His face had swollen a lot, and there were countless injuries on his body. The man surnamed Ma was dark enough. He almost killed his life in just three days after falling into his hands.
The county government and Ma Xiang were angry with each other. They left their hometown for three years and thought it was different, but they didn't know that Ma Xiang was even more incomparable.
Judging from his words, he was beaten by dozens of whips. The officials protected each other and he was satisfied with what other ways he could leave Jinling alive and return to Liaodong.
From then on, I will never get involved in the dark Jiangnan again!
Fang Dafa remained silent, and Feng Ping chuckled, "Since you don't say it, then I will ask someone to speak!"
The little girl at the door lay on Ye Hua's legs, stretched her neck and looked outside. After a while, someone came in with a greasy middle-aged man. It was the Hu San!
Chapter completed!
