Chapter 1154 I Just Want Them to Take a Good Look

After a while, everyone arrived at the temporary burial area.

This was at the bottom of a mountain. As soon as fourth master approached, he smelled a smell of rotting corpses.

Zhang Tingyu and Su Peisheng who followed behind him couldn't help frowning.

But fourth master didn't cover his nose, and they didn't dare to cover it either, but their stomachs churned.

After approaching, he saw that besides some villagers, there were piles of dead bodies at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing that there are hundreds of people stacked under the mountain.

Although fourth master has been to many places these days, he has seen many such scenes.

But when he saw this scene, his calm eyes still turned scarlet.

But his heart is not numb, on the contrary, he wants to manage this place even more.

When any emperor is in office, he will not feel better when he sees this situation.

Every emperor hopes that the world he governs will be peaceful.

Who wants to see the people living in dire straits and starving to death everywhere.

At this time, when the villagers saw fourth master, they gathered in front of fourth master, crying and crying.

The guards wanted to pull them away, but fourth master waved his hand to signal them not to do anything to the bosses.

Then, he looked at the villagers with scarlet eyes, and said in a majestic voice: "Everyone, please be safe, and I am here today to solve your problems, let you live a good life, and rebuild your homeland."

After the common people heard this, they just kowtowed and mourned.

Seeing this, the fourth master said again: "I came to your Zhuangzi personally to listen to the opinions and suggestions of the people. If you have any difficulties, just tell them, and the imperial court will help you."

The reason why I came here in person was that I wanted the relief supplies to be completely verified by the people.

In addition, he also wanted to listen to the voices of the common people to see where the problems were.

Otherwise, those officials would only report nice things in the memorial every time.

All bad things are hidden.

If it was really as good as written in the memorial, would it be what it is today?

Hearing what fourth master said, those people didn't dare to speak at first.

Because they are just ordinary farmers, they are worried that they will be retaliated by those officials after they speak up.

Seeing how they hesitated to speak, fourth master probably guessed why they dared not speak.

It was rare to see a kindness on a face that was always cold.

But at the same time, there is an incomparably majestic and domineering aura of a king.

He held his lips and said: "It is God's decision if it does not rain. But sometimes, people's greed is more terrible than disasters. If it weren't for the inaction of the local government, the money from the court would have been used to build canals , where would it be like this?"

This translation is: I already know that the government is not doing anything, you just say it, and I will deal with them.

Originally, drought is not terrible.

If the canals are repaired, food can also be grown.

But the government embezzled money, which led to such a catastrophe.

Even Zhang Tingyu on the side said: "Don't have any worries, the emperor will make decisions for you."

Now, the villagers looked at each other in blank dismay.

Then, an elderly old woman spoke first.

"Your Majesty, we don't have much money to grow crops. In addition, the land is dry, so we can't grow much food every year. But the local officials charge us a lot of food taxes, and more and more every year. Are you forced to die?"

"Yes, a few years ago, I heard that other difficult areas had the help of the imperial court. Some poor villagers would not starve to death, not to mention getting rich. But here, even the disabled households have no With a little help, there was a drought, so I had to wait day and night until I was buried in the yellow earth."

"By the way, the local officials also occupied the land and confiscated dozens of acres of my family's land to grow cotton, but I didn't have any place to grow corn if I wanted to."

"There is also this drought, and the water in the reservoir has also dried up. Our farming has suffered heavy losses."

so and so...

Fourth master stood where he was, listening to the voices of the common people very patiently.

Although he already knew that those government officials did not act, he did not know that they were so inactive.

They not only overcharged the people's food taxes, embezzled the supplies allocated by the court to the needy people, but also invaded the people's land...

After a while, after the common people had finished speaking, the fourth master asked Zhang Tingyu to write them down.

And hand over the relief materials this time to the head of the village and the villagers.

At the same time, he personally brought the guards with the villagers to bury the villagers who starved to death on the mountain.

Due to time constraints, he did not stay longer in this village, but went to the next village to be inspected.

Three days later, the fourth master had almost handled the Baoping mansion, and he could basically return to Beijing.

It's just that there are still some things that need to be dealt with.

With thunderous speed, he decreed that the homes of dozens of local officials in Baoping Mansion were ransacked.

All the properties stolen from the house were used for disaster relief.

Moreover, it also ordered that the twelve officials be beheaded on the gate of Baoping Mansion, beheaded, Lingchi, beheaded, cooked, cooked, peeled, car cracked...

Anyway, the ten major tortures of the Qing Dynasty, I can't wait to be staged on these people in turn.

Even so, he still had an upright look on his face.

Because in his opinion, the lives of tens of thousands of people are nothing compared to this torture.

Perhaps no one would have imagined that such a cold-blooded and ruthless emperor was still listening to the voices of the people in the disaster area a few days ago, bringing them disaster relief materials and solving one trouble after another.

However, Zhang Tingyu and the others felt that these scenes were too cruel, so they tentatively reminded: "Your Majesty, although their crimes are unforgivable, they can't all use such cruel torture. This... is really detrimental." Your image in the hearts of the common people."

Originally, this time the disaster relief was done by the emperor himself, and his prestige in the local area was quite good.

But if torture is carried out so cruelly, those ordinary people will be frightened.

Moreover, when the emperor ascended the throne, the eighth and ninth masters had rumored that the emperor killed his father and killed his brothers.

In this way, the image that has been accumulated with great difficulty will be destroyed.

Fourth master knew what Zhang Tingyu and the others meant, and even more that they were for his own good.

After the deep Mo pupil turned slightly, he said: "That's it, the three most guilty Ling Chi, and the rest are all beheaded or cut in half."

In this way, the original top ten torture scenes were slightly changed.

Immediately afterwards, when discussing with Zhang Tingyu and several ministers, Fourth Master said:

"Also, when killing corrupt officials, you can't just ask the common people to watch it, you have to ask the officials to watch it too, and no one is allowed to go. I just want them to take a good look at it. They will be terrified and their bones will be so soft when they watch it. It makes them lose their souls, and makes their dreams restless! In this way, when their black eyes stare at Bai Yinzi in the future, they will be shocked and have to weigh it. Leave a way out for yourself!"

He also said: "These officials all claim to be disciples of Confucius and Mencius. Letting them see this bloody scene is more effective than shutting them in a house and reading a hundred volumes of "Analects" and "Mencius." many!"
