Chapter 140 Hanlin was killed with a stick! Three hundred sticks! (1000 are added)

  The postman was terrified when he saw the banners of Xichang, Dongchang, and Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he told the whole story of the reason and consequences of receiving Xinke Jinshi Hanlin Zhang Sunzhen.

  Now in Ming Dynasty, there are decent people such as Zhang Gui, Han Yu, and Yuan Keli who are in power, and the officials elected to inspect the post are also very decent, even the **** Wang Chengen who represents Dongchang is also a decent person.

  Therefore, Huang Degong, Qi Biaojia, and Wang Chengen felt injustice for the common people and were quite annoyed after hearing this, so they hurriedly sent a team of officials to follow Wu Rui to arrest Zhang Sunzhen.

  Zhang Sunzhen is still having a good time in the restaurant opened by his family near this inn.

  He still doesn't know about the post office reform.

   "Beauty, I'll have a drink for my lord."

  Zhang Sun Zhenzheng was teasing with a singer with great interest, when the door was kicked open with a bang.

  Zhang Sunzhen suddenly woke up.

  Suddenly, he saw a group of officials rushing in, drawing their knives and pointing at him: "Follow us!"

   Zhang Sunzhen's singer screamed in fright.

   And Zhang Sunzhen himself was a little confused, and fell directly to the ground: "You guys, who are you?"

"hurry up!"

  Yixichang official school was rather impatient, so he kicked Zhang Sunzhen on the back.

  Zhang Sunzhen was furious, but he had to endure it, got up obediently, and followed these people to Huang Degong, Qi Biaojia, and Wang Chengen.

   "Kneel down!"

  Huang Degong drank first.

  Zhang Sunzhen was a little hesitant. After all, he was somewhat unable to make him a civil servant kneel to a military officer, even if he was a civil servant.

  Huang Degong pulled out his knife directly.

   "Kneel down!"

  Seeing Huang Degong drawing his sword, Zhang Sunzhen had to yell, and then knelt down on the ground aggrieved.

  Qi Biaojia looked at Zhang Sunzhen at this time: "Zhang Sunzhen, do you have an official letter from the imperial court to allow you to return home?"

  Zhang Sunzhen did not dare to lie at this time, and replied: "No!"

   "Since there is no official letter, what qualifications do you have to extort three thousand taels of silver from the post station?!"

  Qi Biaojia asked in a loud voice.

  Zhang Sunzhen looked at Qi Biaojia in surprise: "What does this have to do with you?"

   "We are ordered to inspect the station in this province, and those who disturb the station will be dealt with strictly!"

   Wang Chengen replied.

  After hearing this, Zhang Sunzhen began to realize that something was wrong: "Can you forgive me this time, I would like to give all three thousand taels of silver to the three superiors."

  Wang Chengen sneered.

  Qi Biaojia said with a serious face: "At least I will not spare you."

   "The Metropolitan Procuratorate is not forgiving here, and my West Factory will certainly not be forgiving."

  Huang Degong replied.

   "The same goes for Dongchang."

   Wang Chengen replied.

  Huang Degong said at this time: "According to the order, those who disturb the post station will be punished with a stick first! Come and beat Zhang Sunzhen on the ground!"

"yes!"

  The Xichang official school first pushed Zhang Sunzhen to the ground.

Snapped!

  As soon as the board went down, Zhang Sunzhen screamed: "Ah!"

  The Confucian scarf was directly blown away because of this.

  Zhang Sunzhen couldn't help shouting: "Add another 10,000 catties of food! I beg the three superiors to be merciful!"

Snapped!

   Another board went down.

  Zhang Sunzhen felt that his spine was going to be broken, and the pain was so painful that he had to shout: "Thirty thousand catties! I will give it all! Woohoo!"

Snapped!

   Then, another board.

"ah!"

   Zhang Sunzhen grinned his teeth, tearing up, and shouted: "Stop beating!"

Snapped!

   But the board still kept falling.

  Zhang Sunzhen had no choice but to look at Qi Biaojia: "This Feng Xianguan, everyone is a civil servant, can we show affection to each other, woohoo!"

  Qi Biaojia ignored it.

  Joke, there are representatives from the East Factory and the West Factory to supervise, how dare he show favoritism.

What's more, Qi Biaojia also felt in his heart that Sun Zhen's nuisance to the post station was indeed too much, and he wanted to extort thousands of taels of silver. For a county, this undoubtedly means that the annual income of thousands of households will be taken away by him. We know that it was difficult for an ordinary family to have an income of more than five taels of silver a year in the Ming Dynasty.

  After Xichang Huang Degong ordered Zhang Sunzhen to be beaten with a hundred sticks, Zhang Sunzhen was already on the verge of death, almost only breathing out, not breathing in.

   "I hit you too, should you let me go?"

  But Zhang Sunzhen is also very lucky, and at this moment he still has the strength to speak.

   "Just now he was fighting in Xichang, and we have not yet fought in the procuratorate."

  As Qi Biaojia spoke, he shouted to the officer of the Metropolitan Procuratorate next to him: "Slap him with a hundred sticks too!"

"yes!"

   "Stop hitting, stop hitting, if you hit again, I will die."

  Zhang Sunzhen cried and cried.

Snapped!

  Zhang Sunzhen was soon punished by the official school of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, gritted his teeth and said: "I was wrong, I was really wrong, I dare not disturb the post station anymore!"

   "The law is ruthless! It's useless to admit your mistakes."

  Qi Biaojia said and ordered: "Keep fighting until the 100 hits, and don't let the people in the West Factory and the East Factory think that we are all being favoritism by the procuratorate!"

"yes!"

Snapped!

Snapped!

Snapped!

   As a result, Zhang Sunzhen was completely killed by the rod, and he lost his breath.

   Zhang Sunzhen's servant Wu Rui felt both relieved and scared when he saw this scene. He had to admit that these people from the court were really ruthless.

   Wu Ruiqie also asked at this time: "Everyone on the job, my master seems to be dead. Can the younger one carry him away?"

   "Not yet!"

  Wang Chengen said something at this time, and said: "I haven't fought in Dongchang yet."

  Having power and not using it is like taking off your clothes and not having sex, it will make people uncomfortable.

  The power of inspecting the post office is also power, Wang Chengen cannot use it, not to mention, he Dongchang also needs this power to prove his sense of existence.

  So, Wang Chengen also ordered: "The Dongchang people also hit him with a hundred sticks!"

"yes!"

  Therefore, Zhang Sunzhen continued to stick to a hundred rods, and in the end, his back was beaten into red flesh, and his blue silk clothes had already been shredded.

   And the Yi Cheng here was also dismissed and investigated.

  The slaves of the Zhang family, Wu Rui, were also exiled to guard the border according to the law.

   All the assets of the Zhang family here were also confiscated.

  The two brothers of the Li family were also sent back.

   There is no unique and even.

  After the establishment of the system of patrolling the post office, most of the officials and gentry who disturbed the post station like Zhang Sunzhen were found out and severely punished.

  The post station system in the Ming Dynasty was also much clearer, and the people nearby were no longer exploited by officials and gentry who came to the post station to extort money.

   Public grievances have thus been reduced a lot.

  In addition, after Xichang and Dongchang confiscated the properties of offending officials and gentry near these post stations, they quickly expanded many direct-operated imperial stores near these post stations.

Because the West Factory and the East Factory opened these royal stores in the name of stabilizing prices, they both set the prices of daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, and salt relatively low, making it difficult for local wealthy businessmen with official and gentry backgrounds to inflate the prices of these common people’s necessities. , and took this opportunity to plunder the people wantonly.

"good very good!"

  Zhang Gui also received Huang Degong's handling of people like Zhang Sunzhen when he was inspecting the post office, and he even claimed a few words of praise.

In Zhang Gui's view, the inspection system with the three forces checking and balancing each other is indeed better than the single eunuch's dictatorship and civilian dictatorship. In the past, the local inspection system was all in charge of the inspector and censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but the results were not ideal. But now that Xichang, Dongchang, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are patrolling together, the post administration of the entire empire has been rectified.

  Zhang Gui decided to take the opportunity to tell Tianqi that officials and gentry like Zhang Sunzhen were successfully punished because of the post administration reform.

But just when Zhang Gui was about to tell Tianqi about this matter, at the Sutra Banquet that day, there was Hanlin Luo Bi who took advantage of the Sutra Banquet to speak and directly reported to Tianqi: "Your Majesty! The new patrol post system is taking advantage of the people, and the patrol post officials sent by the imperial court in various provinces also use their power to abuse the people, causing people's resentment to boil. Your Majesty, this is not what should happen in a prosperous age! Your Majesty, please decree to abolish this system , It is strictly forbidden for the factory guards to open Huangdian stores in various post stations and disturb the people!"

  Although the reorganization of the post office has reduced public grievances a lot, the grievances between officials and gentry have increased a lot. Therefore, Luo Bi couldn't help complaining bitterly during the sutra feast, and deliberately forced Tianqi to express his position directly.

At this time, Chen Zizhuang, who also participated in the banquet, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Luo Hanlin is deceiving the emperor! The post station has nothing to do with the people, so where is it disturbing the people? Those who have always used the post station are either officials or officials, and patrolling the post station is the most nuisance." Post station officials and officials who use official post stations are not capable of abusing the people at all! As for Xichang and Dongchang opening imperial stores near the post stations, it is impossible to talk about taking profits from the people. Those who can open shops near the post stations are not afraid of being exploited by the postmen. Could it be ordinary people? Therefore, Xichang and Dongchang opened stores near the post station, and they did not compete with the people for profit."

  Han Yu followed suit and said, "Your Majesty, Luo Hanlin is indeed deceiving the emperor, he should be executed immediately!"

   Tian Qi nodded: "Robi is indeed deceiving the emperor, but I have to be merciful, so let's change the punishment from beheading to death with a stick."

   As he spoke, Tian Qi ordered: "Pull Luo Bi out, and he will be killed with a stick for the crime of deceiving the emperor!"

   "Your Majesty is as benevolent as heaven!"

  Han Yu quickly flattered her.

  After hearing this, Luo Bi yelled at Han Yu: "Han Puzhou, you treacherous minister, you are in vain to be the chief assistant, you are in vain to be the chief assistant!"

   The novel is worth a thousand, add a more
