Volume 9 Xianyang Wind and Cloud Chapter 2 Anger
Fusu looked at Ying Teng disgustedly and thought to himself: Such a garbage and incompetent person can even serve as the censor of a county. I really don’t know what the officials of the court thought! It’s probably because of bribery!
Fusu looked at the map, suddenly stunned, and asked Yangpu with a strange expression, "Yangpu, I ask you, whose land on the north shore is? How big is it?" Yangpu leaned over and looked at it, and his expression suddenly changed.
This is a land that is much larger than Li You, Han Yue and Yingteng, and the size is even approximately equal to the sum of the three. In Fusu's opinion, this must be owned by the largest local tycoon. Maybe this person will bear the main responsibility for this flood!
Unexpectedly, Yang Pu knelt down on the ground with a "thump" and said tremblingly: "Go back to the Lord, this, the master, the minister, I don't know!"
Fusu sneered when he heard this, and then changed his color and said sternly: "Yangpu, do you really think I am a fool who can deceive you at will, and you can't be an idiot! As my fief of Luoyang, you even said that you don't know who the fertile land is such a large fertile land in the fief! Are you stupid yourself or do you think I am stupider than you!? I will ask you again, who is this fertile land?"
Seeing Fusu's angry face and murderous look, Yang Pu immediately fought with his teeth and shivered. Although he kowtowed frequently to beg for mercy, he refused to say the person's name: "Your Majesty, you forgive me, you forgive me, I really don't know who this is!"
Fusu was immediately annoyed, and suddenly Fusu shouted: "Come here, drag Lord Yang down, and punish thirty military sticks to give Lord Yang a long memory! Maybe after you beat him, Lord Yang will remember who this field belongs to!" Although the words were interesting, the meaning was very terrifying!
"Here!" Hearing the order of Fusu, His Highness immediately rushed up to four large and round-armed Central Army men, dragging the thin Yangpu down like an eagle catching a chicken. Along the way, Yangpu was still shouting: "Your best, please spare your life, you best, please spare your life, I really don't know!"
But Fusu was willing to believe it. It would be fine if he didn't know the owner of the small piece of fields on the south bank of Luoshui. It would be a strange thing if Yangpu, the owner of the largest piece of fields on the north bank of Luoshui. Could it be that Yangpu, his conferred official, was also involved? If this is true, except for the three dog officials of Li You, Han Yue and Ying Teng, Yangpu cannot be spared easily!
Immediately, the central army guards, who were like wolves and tigers, pressed Yang Pu down on the steps, quickly stripped off his clothes and admired him, revealing his shiny back!
Soon, the heavy water and fire army sticks were raised high, and with the sound of wind, they roared and smashed them down hard.
"Ba, bha..." The sound of military sticks hitting the flesh, and accompanied by the thin Yang Pu'er's heart-wrenching scream: "Ah! Please spare your life! Ah!..." The sharp and miserable screams made Li You, Han Yue, Ying Teng, who were kneeling below immediately sweat and wet his underwear!
Gradually, with the greeting of the military stick, Yang Pu's screams changed from the original high-pitched and shrill, and moaned like a slight moan. After the thirty military sticks, Yang Pu, who was sweating profusely, became dizzy.
The heavy weight of military sticks is not something that ordinary people can bear!
"Pu" the central army guards woke Yangpu up with a bucket of cold water, and then dragged him to the palace to report his life like a dead dog.
Fusu looked at Yang Pu who was soaked all over, with a sallow complexion, and said lightly: "Mr. Yang, I have finished eating the thirty military sticks. I should have a better memory now. Remember who this field belongs to?"
Yang Pu, who had a scattered bun, raised his head with difficulty, his eyes were distracted, and he said dyingly: "Come on, go back to you, the people of this field are really, I don't know!" He spoke in a crying voice, looking extremely pitiful!
Fusu's eyebrows sternly, murderous intent emerged in his eyes, and he suddenly said sternly: "Yangpu, you are so brave. I ask you questions, but you dare to hide them again and again! It seems that you are unwilling to tell the owner of this field! You must be afraid that the owner of this field will be more than me! Well, if others can cure you, then I can't cure you? Come and kill Yangpu and report it!"
"Here!" the central soldiers responded, and were so murderous that they wanted to drag Yangpu down!
Yang Pu, who was already dying, immediately urinated with fear. Suddenly, a smell of urination came from the hall. Yang Pu struggled desperately and shouted: "Your Majesty, please wait, please wait, I have something to say, and I have something to say!"
Fusu frowned and cursed in his heart: "Coward, if you don't scare you, don't say it, right?" He asked with a cold face: "Wait, bring it back! Tell me, who belongs to this field?"
Yang Pu stuttered twice, and seemed to hesitate when he wanted to say it. Fusu waited for a while, but was a little impatient again. He stood up with his eyebrows, and obviously he was about to attack immediately. Yang Pu saw that it was not good: If he didn't ask, he would definitely die! He didn't care much, and quickly shouted: "Your Majesty, you are not a villain, you really don't know. You really don't dare to say it! By the way, Lord Li has a high position and is powerful, so you must dare to say it. Lord Li!"
"Oh, this person is so powerful. Even your annual salary of 1,000 s are not dared to name him! Well, Li You, I ask you, who is the owner of the largest field on the north bank of Luoshui?"
Li You's expression changed suddenly when he heard this, his figure shook, and he almost fainted. He glared at Yang Pu fiercely and said tremblingly: "Yes, yes, yes..." "Yes" for a long time, but he didn't say anything for granted.
Fusu's face turned dark again and said coldly: "Li You, I'll count to three. If you don't say it, don't blame me for turning against you!"
"One!" murderous intent.
"Two!" Strong murderous aura.
Just as Fusu was about to count the 'three', Li You was already scared and shouted: "Your Majesty, you, the owner of this land is you!"
Fusu was shocked when he heard this: "It's me? How could it be?" He slapped the table suddenly and said: "Bold Li You, you dare to slander me, are you tired of living??"
Li You now took the initiative and quickly knelt down and crawled two steps closer, saying a little closer, "I dare not lie! This land is about 5,000 hectares, which was given to the king when he gave Luoyi to the king as a fief! If I lie, I would rather die!"
Fusu's head buzzed, and for a moment he was a little confused. Soon Fusu woke up and asked Yangpu urgently: "Yangpu, let me ask you, what Li You said is serious!" Yangpu seemed to be relieved and quickly replied: "Everything that Lord Li said is true. This large area of fertile land was given to you by the king. But the king has never been to Luoyang, so he doesn't know the details!"
Fusu thought: Isn't that true? Since I was enfeoffed by Luoyang, I have no time to come here to enjoy it. How can I know how much land and the house you have! I couldn't help but look embarrassed and said, "Since I own it, then when I asked you just now, why don't you say anything?"
Yang Pu said with fear, "The king is powerful and powerful, and comes with anger. How dare I embarrass you? So I would rather die than say it!"
Fusu suddenly moaned in his heart and said to himself: "It's so troublesome now. He originally wanted to catch a few typical chickens and kill monkeys, but he didn't expect that this man was the biggest beneficiary behind the flood. What should I do now?" He looked at the four people kneeling below, and all their expressions were much more relaxed. It was obvious that the four people were afraid of Fusu, who saw that they were among them!
Fusu thought for a while and asked Yangpu, "Yangpu, I ask you, have you ever advised Lord Li and others during this flood to protect the safety of my land?"
Yang Pu said with a sad face: "Yes, Master, when I see that Luo Water is surging, it may break the dam at any time. But the financial and manpower are not enough to raise money for a while, so I have to ask Lord Li and others to protect the land of your superiors first!" It seems that Yang Pu is still a loyal person. If he hadn't been almost beheaded just now, he would have gritted his teeth and refused to embarrass Fusu!
Fusu's expression immediately calmed down a lot, and he said apologetically: "Yangpu, I didn't expect you to be so responsible for my affairs and are willing to take full care of my face. I blame you for your mistakes. Please stand aside!" Yangpu was so moved that he cried bitterly: "Your Excellence is too rewarded. Since the villain has been appointed as an official for the emperor, he should share his worries for the emperor. He will never dare to let the emperor lose any money!"
Li You was overjoyed when he saw this and hurriedly went downstairs and said, "Yes, lord. Although the ministers and lords are in Hebei, it doesn't matter if the ministers and lords are flooded. The lords must not lose their land! That's why, in the face of crisis, I put all my efforts into strengthening the North Dike, but I lost the South Dike! I missed one by one, and asked the lord to sue him!"
The cunning Li You actually blamed Fusu for the loss of the South Dike: In this way, if Fusu punishes Li You, Han Yue and Ying Teng, what should Fusu, who has benefited the most, do with himself?
After Li You said that, Han Yue and Ying Teng couldn't help but look down. Obviously, the three of them thought that since Fusu had the same interests involved, they should not punish the three of them again!
Fusu cursed inwardly: "Damn it, is it because I have my fertile land on the north bank, so you can just defend it with all your heart! It's not mainly because you have your private property on the north bank! I don't believe that you guys who are greedy and incompetent and careless of human life really understand the principle of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism!
But no matter what, there must be a proper way to deal with this matter, otherwise the reputation accumulated in the court and among the people over the years will be burdened by these three shameless people! Well, money is something outside of it. For the sake of reputation, kill what should be killed and give up what should be abandoned!"
After thinking for a while, Fusu made a decision and said coldly: "Li You, according to what you said just now, only strengthening the North Bank is purely about caring for me?"
Li You now has no choice. If you want to survive, you have to pull Fusu into the water. Although Fusu's tone was not good, he could only say with a stern voice: "The king's fief is actually a blessing for ministers and others, so no matter what, he must first ensure that the king's wealth is complete!"
"Bump!" Fusu slammed the table in front of him, making the ground tremble three times. Fusu said sternly: "All nonsense! You guys are all greedy and abused the law. How do you know the truth of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country? I see that you strengthened the north bank purely because your private fields are in Hebei. You are selfish, but you want to pull the shit basin on me! Come on, pull these three corrupt officials down and behead them and report them!"
When the central army guard heard the order, he rushed forward and was about to pull these three corrupt officials down with a crack!
Li You and others were so scared that they were scattered and shouted: "Your Majesty, please spare me. I am really out of my good intentions for you, and I am not selfish! I am wronged and wronged!"
Fusu waved his hand, and the central troops stopped for a moment.
Fusu said coldly: "Unforgivable!? I don't think it's wrong at all! As the highest commander of a county, you should have thought that there will be heavy floods in spring as early as winter, so you can prepare early. But what have you done? It was not until the flood came that it rushed into battle. Is it still too late? This is a crime!
The most hateful thing is that you actually ignore the lives and death of the people on the south bank, just care about the land on the north bank, abandon the embankment on the south bank, so that hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land were flooded, countless people were killed in the flood, and more people were displaced. This is the second sin!
In the end, you actually put the blame for the flood on me, which is even more abominable. Is this the kind of person who is greedy for selfish interests and ignores the lives and death of the people? This is the third sin!
I tell you, I will immediately sell more than 5,000 hectares of fertile land, and all the proceeds will be used for disaster relief for the people! I want to let the world see who is responsible for this flood!
Also, how did you come from a large amount of land? It’s not because you are greedy for the traits and misfortune. This is the fourth sin!
You said, if you have these four serious sins, should you be killed?"
Li You and the other two were shocked when they heard this. Han Yue looked like a slut and could not speak. Ying Tengze was already so scared that he was paralyzed. Only Li You shouted loudly: "Your Majesty cannot kill us! I am the imperial court's official official. If you want to kill and cut, you must nod your head!"
Yang Pu also gritted his teeth and advised: "Yes, Master! Although there are places to kill the three of them, if they do not report to the court and kill these three people, there will be criticism in the court!"
Fusu sneered and said, "It's urgent to follow the power. Now the people in Sanchuan County are full of resentment. If you don't kill you, how can you calm the people's hearts! Pull it down and kill it!" "Yes!" The guards of the army dragged the three of them out with great strength.
Under the current circumstances, as the owner of the largest fertile land on the north bank of the Luoshui River, if Fusu wants to establish a fair and selfless positive image among the people, it is not enough to just give out his 5,000 hectares of fertile land. Only by killing these three culprits can he completely restore his prestige! As for whether Li You is Li Si's son, he doesn't care much. He is better than Fusu's reputation!
After a while, three screams came from the steps, and then three central guards rushed up quickly, placing Li You, Han Yue and Ying Teng's heads to report to the death!
Fusu nodded, signaling to put down the head and the central army took the order.
Fusu turned his head to look at Yangpu again. Yangpu looked a little uneasy. According to Fusu's current way of doing things, Yangpu also had to take some responsibility. Seeing this, Fusu smiled and said, "Yang Qing, don't be nervous. You are the one who is the official of Luoyang. You not only have to take good care of my private property, but the most important thing is to take good care of the interests of the people. You are not doing well in this, but you have just beaten you thirty military sticks and even if you have been punished!"
Yang Pu was shocked and hurriedly bowed: "Thank you, Master!"
Fusu nodded and said, "Send your servants to spread the matter to the main officials of Sanchuan County and Luoyang to come here to discuss matters, and then you can go and rest!" "Yes, lord!" Yangpu went out with a corrupt and a treacherous look.
*******
Luo is the county seat of Sanchuan County, and the main officials in the county gathered here. So, in just a short while, dozens of civil and military officials in the county gathered at the steps!
Fusu calculated that the person should be almost done. He turned his head and said, "Tell me that all the officials come in!"
"Your Majesty Xuan Sanchuan County officials come to see you!"
When the officials heard this, they did not dare to neglect and entered one after another. Suddenly, they saw Li You, Han Yue and Ying Teng’s bloody heads, and they couldn’t help but exclaimed, all of them were pale and they fought against each other!
Fusu snorted coldly, and the officials were stunned and dared not speak anymore.
Fusu coldly told the three people to repeat the four major crimes committed, and then said: "It is better to calm the anger of the people than to kill these three corrupt officials, so I will kill them for the people! Where is the Luoyang Order?"
A middle-aged and old bearded official responded: "I have met the king of the ministers!"
Fusu nodded and said, "You go and do a few things for me:
1. Hang these three heads at the gate of the city to show the public, and post a list to tell the public that these three people have committed many crimes!
2. There are tens of thousands of refugees outside the city. You can immediately open the Luoyang official warehouse and make every effort to provide relief. If you don’t do well, I will not spare you!
3. Immediately mobilize officers and soldiers, confiscated Li You, Han Yue and Yingteng's three-person mansion, and all property is confiscated into the official treasury. The prisoner is temporarily detained in the Luoyang prison and handed over to the court when I return to Xianyang!
4. Luoyang is my fiefdom, but I failed to take good care of the people. This is Fusu's fault. Therefore, I decided to quickly sell all the 5,000 hectares of fertile land on the north bank of the Luo River, and the proceeds are used for disaster relief!
You can do these four things right away, do you understand?"
"I understand! I will say goodbye!" The kingdom hurriedly went down to make arrangements!
The officials were shocked. It can be said that Fusu killed Li You and the other two, which surprised everyone. Now he has given out five thousand hectares of fertile land, and this kind of kindness shocked the officials even more!
Fusu looked at the officials again and asked, "Where is the river channel of Sanchuan County?"
"The embarrassing minister Ji Bing is here!" An official in his thirties, with a wide forehead and big eyes and a loyal face came out.
Fusu asked with a somewhat unkind look: "Let me ask you, how many dangerous shoals are there on both sides of the north and south of the Luo River, and how many still have not been reinforced?"
Ji Bing's face remained unchanged and said: "There are nineteen dangerous shoals on both sides of the Luoshui River, nineteen north and ten south. The north bank is basically reinforced, and no one has been completed on the south bank yet!"
"Then I asked you, since you know so much, why did you sit in the river and watch the embankment collapse on the south bank?" Fusu's eyes were murderous. Obviously, Ji Bing's answer was not good, that is, he might suffer a murder!
The officials couldn't help but hold their breath and sweat for Ji Bing!
"I have been making comments to the prefect many times, but the prefect insists on not listening. What if it does!" Ji Bing calmly and calmly, without any panic!
Fusu secretly praised in his heart: "Never be humble or arrogant, calm and deep, it is a material for doing practical things!" So he smiled and nodded and said, "Very good. Since Li You died, you will take over the position of county magistrate, mobilize all financial and material resources of Sanchuan County to quickly block the robbery and treat the victims! Are you willing?"
Ji Bing was stunned when he heard this, and looked excited. He suddenly leaned down on the ground and bowed: "Your mercy, I am grateful to you for your behalf, the people of Sanchuan County!"
Fusu smiled and said, "Do it well, I and the people will watch you!"
Ji Bing said excitedly: "I will do my best!"
*******
For nearly a month since then, Fusu stayed in Luoyang and was in charge of monitoring the flood control in Sanchuan County.
Since during this flood, Luoyang County, Sanchuan County, which is the fiefdom of Fusu, was the most affected, so the focus of the governance is the Luoshui River section near Luoyang.
This Ji Bing was indeed very difficult to do. She quickly mobilized all the manpower, material resources and financial resources that could be used in Sanchuan County. It took only three days to block the broken bank of the Luo River. Within half a month, seven dangerous shoals in Luoyang were renovated. Within one month, all dangerous sections on the southern bank of the Luo River in Sanchuan were reinforced and renovated. The flood was completely suppressed!
At the same time, Fusu killed corrupt officials, donated a large amount of land, and personally took charge of disaster relief and quickly won the hearts of the people. Whenever Fusu inspectors passed by, the people along the way were convinced and bowed to the ground.
In this way, in this storm, Fusu dealt with it quickly and took appropriate measures, not only did the people's expectations not weakened, but it quickly accumulated a large amount of people's expectations in the Central Plains!
However, 'you cannot have both fish and bear's paw'. Killing Li You means that Fusu will embark on the road of direct confrontation with Li Si! How will Fusu take in the future?
Chapter completed!
