Chapter 119 Public trial, confession, dressed like a beast!

Clarify your next action.

Lu Wanling was not ambiguous at all and went straight to the prefect's Yamen of Zhending Prefecture.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Michang, has met Mr. Lu!"

Zheng Michang was also a little confused at this moment.

The imperial envoy has reached his own territory?

Why haven't you heard of it before?

Zheng Michang was still very vigilant towards these alternate officials. Once his problems were discovered, he would deal with them on the spot.

They want to replace themselves.

Zheng Michang also knew the dirty things he had done, but he was still very confident.

These imperial envoys couldn't find anything.

Lu Wanling said calmly: "Master Zheng, I have been ordered to verify!"

Zheng Michang nodded and said, "My lord, please check, and I will definitely cooperate with you!"

"good!"

Lu Wanling nodded, then took out a secret decree from his sleeve and said calmly: "Zheng Michang accepts the decree!"

Zheng Michang was slightly startled and knelt down: "My lord, Zheng Michang accepts the order!"

Lu Wanling dismissed the secret decree and said calmly: "It is a national policy to return Xian to the public!"

Zheng Michang frowned and heard Lu Wanling continue: "I can only wear eight sets of regular clothes in four seasons. I change dry, clean and wet clothes. I wear clothes for the vassal king, envoys, officials and soldiers, and use them sparingly to meet the needs of the military and the country."

Considering the difficulty of the country's progress and the difficulties of the people's livelihood. Because officials are often reported to be corrupt, we specially set up a fund to raise honest and honest officials, hoping that as the name suggests, they will be encouraged to be honest officials!"

Then, Lu Wanling continued: "Every silkworm, cocoon, and shuttle is swallowed up in the mouths of beetles. If those who swallow silk and peel off cocoons like this don't spit out the silkworms one by one from their mouths, I want to tolerate them. The sky is like heaven.

It can be tolerated!"

Zheng Michang listened very carefully.

He probably understood the meaning of the imperial edict. To put it simply, it asked Lu Wanling to investigate, and by extension, Lu Wanling was given certain powers, requiring the government to cooperate.

He understands the truth!

This imperial edict was not written to him, it was written to Lu Wanling.

This secret decree was probably equivalent to giving Lu Wanling special powers.

"Master Zheng, do you understand this imperial edict?" Lu Wanling closed the imperial edict and asked.

"I understand!"

Zheng Michang was about to stand up, but Lu Wanling waved his hand and said calmly: "Take it!"

Tan Yong next to him suddenly pressed down on Zheng Michang, and Zheng Michang was dumbfounded.

There was no time to make any resistance at all, and he was directly pressed to death.

All of a sudden, this Zheng Michang couldn't move.

"Master Lu, what do you mean?" Zheng Michang stared at Lu Wanling.

Lu Wanling said calmly: "Zheng Michang, there are strict orders from the Holy One and the imperial court. For every two taels of tax silver collected, an additional four to five taels will be levied as fire expenses; for one dan of grain, an additional 2 liters will be levied to a dou of three liters. Do you really think so?"

It increased seventeen times in one breath, what’s the point of this?”

"You have no evidence and you rashly took down me. Do you know what your crime was?" Zheng Michang was also angry. It was good, he was taken down directly.

Lu Wanling looked at Zheng Michang coldly: "There is no evidence. Do you really think that I am here to arrest you because I have no evidence?"

Zheng Michang said loudly: "Lu Wanling, you are slanderous. You have evidence to show. If you take me today, you will not be able to justify it to the court. This is a matter for the Ministry of Punishments!"

"I have my own evidence!"

Lu Wanling smiled contemptuously and said: "If you don't want others to know, you can't do anything but yourself. The imperial court requires Hua Xian to return to the public, but you have cleverly created a double name to exploit the people. I can't tolerate you, the emperor can't tolerate you, and God can't tolerate you!"

"Come here, take Zheng Michang into custody!"

Lu Wanling glanced at the officer, and suddenly raised the secret decree in his hand: "Why, you dare to resist the decree and disrespect it? This is a serious crime of beheading!"

The government officials also responded quickly.

Zheng Michang was immediately put into prison.

Tan Yong, Wang Chao!

Lu Wanling said loudly.

Tan Yong and Wang Chao came out at the same time, and Lu Wanling said: "You two immediately notify all the county officials to come to the prefect's Yamen. I will put Zheng Michang on trial!"

"Inform the people, inform all the gentry, and ask them to come and see in ten days. I will put Zheng Michang on trial, so that they can all know-" Lu Wanling's voice became stern: "Those who violate the national law will be punished in the end.

What’s the end!”

yes!

Everyone nodded at the same time.

Lu Wanling also knew how to act vigorously and resolutely.

Once he takes action, he will never give Zheng Michang any chance to deceive others. He has already collected enough evidence before taking action.

And now the ten political officers assigned to Lu Wanling have also taken action quickly.

On the one hand, it was to check the accounts, and on the other hand, some people directly led the government officials to ransack the house. At the same time, some people went to Zheng Michang's hometown to start an investigation.

The people who went to Zheng Michang's hometown to investigate were actually on their way back.

Once it was determined that there was a problem, Lu Wanling sent people to collect evidence in advance.

Now--

unambiguous evidence

Ten days later, all county officials, gentry and landlords, and ordinary people from all levels of Zhending Prefecture gathered at the gate of the county government office.

Lu Wanling said calmly: "Come here, bring Zheng Michang up!"

At this moment, Zheng Michang was already wearing handcuffs and shackles. He looked extremely haggard, and it was quite difficult for him to walk.

"Zheng Michang, I want to ask you. The imperial court has a strict order. For every two taels of tax money collected, an additional 4 to 5 qian will be levied as fire expenses. For one stone of grain, an additional 2 liters will be levied to a dou of 3 liters. Your consumption, Jiang Xian, has increased by seventeen in one breath.

Times, do you admit to this crime?"

Zheng Michang looked up at Lu Wanling and said slowly: "So what if you admit it, Mr. Lu, I admit that I did accept the money!"

This was something he couldn't deny.

Although it is said that in prison, good wine and good meat are served, in prison, basically all the evidence is placed in front of Zheng Michang.

All he could do was confess his guilt.

Now Zheng Michang is completely broken.

He admitted it frankly.

Many people were whispering.

Naturally, a considerable number of people also hate Zheng Michang very much.

If it weren't for the government officials who stopped him, someone might have wanted to rush up and beat Zheng Michang to death.

To make money, the tax increase directly increased seventeen times.

This is absolutely beastly.

"Being an official in the same dynasty, just like riding in the same boat, you will fall into the water first and then the other!" Zheng Michang looked up at Lu Wanling and said calmly: "Master Lu, you are an alternate official. After I am overthrown, you will come

Sit in my seat and you will know that what I do today will be what you will do tomorrow!"

"shut up!"

Lu Wanling said coldly: "You are dressed like a beast. Could it be that all the civil and military officials in our Ming Dynasty are all dressed like beasts?"

"The robes of civil servants are embroidered with birds, and the robes of military officers are embroidered with animals. Mr. Lu, when you put on these robes, which one do you think is not a beast?"
