Chapter 949 Hai Gong¡¯s Troubles

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the past three days, the Zhao family's father and son were busy with their own affairs, and they had no time to spare.

    Zhao Hao first went to Songjiang Mansion and met Hai Rui at the palace.

    Hai Rui has not moved since he came to Songjiang in the first month of the year.  After the negotiation with Mr. Xu Ge broke down, he killed him, ransacked three residences of the Xu family, arrested all the servants of the Xu family, and forced them to resign from their fields and renounce their citizenship.

    After cleaning up the Xu family, Songjiang Mansion was busy re-measurement of the fields and registration of the land throughout February.  At this point, the compilation of the tiger head and rat tail book is finally coming to an end.

    On the surface, everything seemed to be going well, but Zhao Haoneng could see from Hai Rui's graying hair and receding hairline how much pressure he had been under during this period.

    Hai Rui also touched his forehead and said gloomily: "I feel like I'm going to be bald. Hai'an rubbed ginger slices on me to no avail. I wonder if Jiangnan Hospital has any hair growth medicine?"

    "Is that so?" Zhao Hao said with a bitter smile, "You have been so arrogant all day, even if I give you Zhang Guang 101, it will be useless."

    "Zhang Guang Yao Spirit Demon, the miracle hair growth medicine?" Hai Rui is very concerned about his hair. After all, when a person is bald, his majestic image will be greatly reduced.

    "Pretend I didn't say it." Zhao Hao smiled dryly and said, "Hai Gong worked hard for the people of Jiangnan, and he is so bald and glorious."

    "Hey, don't gloat here." Hai Rui gave him a look and said, "You are young and don't know how to be precious. When you get to my age, I'm afraid you will inevitably shed tears in front of the mirror."

    "How about it? Songjiang is completely settled now, right?" Zhao Hao asked with a smile, changing the subject.

    "On the surface, the big business owners are all submissive. But it's only on the surface." Hai Rui said, got up and rummaged around in front of the desk, handed a piece of paper to Zhao Hao and said, "Look at this, this is what I received last time."  An anonymous complaint.¡±

    Zhao Hao took it and took a look, only to see written on the paper:

    "The accuser Liu Xia Zhi, accusing Wei Shi of swallowing blood and giving birth to children - two extremely evil brothers, Boyi and Shuqi, relied on the momentum of their father Guzhujun through the ages to excavate Xu You's tomb.  After being reported by the Yi tribe, he bribed his favorite minister Lu Zhonglian to be spared.  On a certain day today, the evil brother Liu Xiahui was rescued and imprisoned in Guzhu Water Prison in a certain hoop. He was tortured with cannons and burned to death day and night, and was forced to sacrifice more than 300 acres of Shouyang Weitian.  There is a contract but no writing, but Chonghou Hu is the witness.  I think that the Supreme King of Wu was humiliated by being knocked on his horse, let alone a mere ant!  Complain vigorously.  ¡¯

    After reading it, Mr. Zhao laughed loudly and said: "Interesting, these scholars in Songjiang are really narrow-minded."

    The complainant was called "Liuxiazhi", Liuxiazhi was also called Robber Zhi, and he was the most evil person in the pre-Qin Dynasty.

    The defendants are Boyi and Shuqi, sages who abdicated the throne and lived in seclusion.  The charge of the prosecution is "taking advantage of force to embezzle people's property."

    The accomplices mentioned in the petition are all sages such as Xu You, the teacher of Yao, Shun and Yu, and famous Qi scholars Lu Zhonglian and Liu Xiahui.  Confusing right and wrong, there is no way to add to it.

    What is even more ridiculous is that everyone knows that the three hundred acres of weed fields in Shouyang Mountain belong to Boyi Shuqi.  But Liuxiazhi dared to say without any basis that Boyi Shuqi had robbed him of the three hundred acres of land.  Moreover, the description process is also absurd, no matter how fake it is, how it is written in a satirical way.

    In a nutshell, this is a mockery. Now the unscrupulous people in Songjiang are making up lies and falsely accusing the upright and law-abiding scholar-bureaucrats.

    And the person who condoned and even caused all this was Hai Rui who encouraged the people to complain and preferred to submit to the scholar-bureaucrats rather than the common people.

    "Is it so funny?" Hai Rui rolled his eyes at him and said, "I'm almost mad to death."

    "Your opponent is so cute and stupid, Haigong should be happy." Zhao Hao wiped his tears from laughter and said: "Who among the common people knows about Liu Xiazhi, Lu Zhonglian, and Chonghou Hu? These people are too poorly known. No.  Who among serious scholars can understand this thing? The propaganda effect is too poor."

    "That's the problem with them, they never consider the feelings of the people." Hai Rui laughed when he heard this, and then sighed: "But recently, there have been more and more unscrupulous people filing complaints, and many of them were hired by them.  If you are not careful, you will fall into their trap.¡±

    "I'm afraid there are other motives besides disgusting Mr. Haigong?" Zhao Hao pondered.

    "Of course. No matter what happens here, it will be completely different when it reaches Beijing." Hai Rui said calmly: "No one will carefully understand the cause and effect and the inside story. They only need to catch 'Almost Forced Yuan Fu to Death'  , 'Encourage unruly people to file complaints', 'I would rather submit to the big family than the small people' are just a few eye-catching words, which can completely discredit me."

    "What, you were impeached?" Zhao Hao suddenly realized.

    "Absolutely." Hai Rui smiled bitterly and said: "The day before yesterday, I received a handwritten letter from Chief Li of the Cabinet. In the letter, he said that Kedao was very dissatisfied with my actions in Songjiang and intended to impeach him, but he persuaded him to do so. Again.  Advise me to be kind to the elders, protect the scholar-bureaucrats, and not condone the unruly people.Continue to complain and rest with the people"

    Having said this, he punched the table angrily and gritted his teeth: "Does this 'people' include small people? I wonder!"

    "How did Haigong reply?" Zhao Hao asked softly.

    "" Hai Rui didn't answer, and just handed a draft to Zhao Hao.

    Zhao Hao took it and saw that it was Hai Rui's reply to Li Chunfang.

    The letter is very long, righteous and polite, but the most interesting part is the section about Xu Jie, which says:

    "Cun Weng has suffered a lot from the small group of people recently, and his wealth is astonishing.  Also taken from oneself.  If we don't retreat, the people's habits will become dangerous. Can we stop it?  This old man will have a plan to make peace after a hundred years.  Being rich and being unkind will bring harm but no benefit, and it can serve as a warning for others to follow.  ¡¯

    He ruthlessly revealed to the chief minister of the dynasty that Xu Jie possessed a shockingly huge amount of property.  He also sharply ridiculed Xu Jie, saying that everything was his own fault for being rich and unkind!

    It is indeed Hai Rui¡¯s style, he opens his mouth and leaves you speechless.

    "Has this letter been sent out?" Mr. Zhao had a headache, and he still wanted to ask for help from Li Chunfang.

    "Sent." Hai Rui said matter-of-factly, "I replied to the letter that day."

    "Okay then." Mr. Zhao pursed his lips and said with a wry smile: "When I come to Beijing, I will help you make peace. Don't get too stalemate with the court."

    As he spoke, he looked at Hai Rui with a helpless look and said, "I still expect Hai Gong to serve a full term in Jiangnan."

    "This, it's very difficult." Hai Rui said with self-awareness: "I just want to finish what I need to do. As long as the people in Jiangnan get real benefits, no one can change it."

    Zhao Hao rubbed his right temple helplessly. He originally expected Hai Rui to help him to help with grain transportation and other things.

    Now it seems to be in vain.

    "It's a great thing to transport grain by sea. If it succeeds, it will be a great success." Hai Rui is also very self-aware and smiled apologetically: "I just can't get involved, otherwise it will only be a disservice to you."

    "It doesn't matter." Zhao Hao smiled understandingly: "We can each handle our own affairs."

    Fortunately, I have a backup.
