The wives of the concubines are empresses
Chapter 438: The Dali Temple Minister was "bribed"
The two of them were intimate and cuddling for a while, and after Yang's concubine, Hu Siyang, acted coquettishly, Shangguan Wanjun finally agreed to have sex with her.
Behind the beaded curtain, the two fell asleep in each other's arms.
Ouhe and Liuli, who were on duty, were taking a nap behind the screen, spread out their blankets,
Su Yude and other eunuchs were on duty at the door of the tent, and they were also taking a nap together with quilts spread out. This was the empress's personal request.
Only by taking care of themselves can the palace servants take better care of her, which also reflects her benevolence and righteousness.
In the palace, almost everyone respected her from the bottom of their hearts and was always grateful to her.
Concubine Wu - Zhu Wu and Concubine Bai - Jiang Ruobai, who had already left Beijing, followed the two officials from the Dali Temple all the way and began to investigate the number of land owners and tax data.
As an auxiliary party, Wu's concubine Zhu Wu, under the guidance of the Dali Temple, has been checking the registered records in a county magistrate's office.
With the help of Liu Rufeng and Liu Rucheng, they completed the investigation in just one morning.
The Dali Temple Minister took the records handed over by the three people and examined them carefully.
"It doesn't look like there's anything wrong with that."
Wu Cefu - Zhu Wu indeed shook his head: "At first glance, there is no problem, but there are still many things that are exposed."
Dali Temple Minister Song Yunshuo was shocked and looked at it carefully again.
As a result, I found some problems.
Because many people were checking the registered land together, they all found some problems, and the Dali Temple Minister Song Yunshuo was very angry.
"Mr. Wu, please split up into three groups with Liu Rufeng and Liu Rucheng to investigate. I will continue to investigate the others."
Wu's wife, Zhu Wu, bowed and said, "Okay."
The three of them discussed it and each left with three guards.
The magistrate was trembling with fear, but for the sake of that little bit of benefit, he made up his mind and gave two hundred taels to the Dali Temple Minister - Song Yunshuo.
He didn't expect that the fat county magistrate would dare to bribe him at this moment.
As one of the three major departments of the Dali Temple, and also a member of the royal family, the Dali Temple Minister Song Yunshuo would not knowingly break the law. His face immediately darkened.
The fat magistrate thought that the money was too little, so he immediately took out another two hundred taels and gave them to the Dali Temple Minister - Song Yunshuo, with a wry smile on his face.
"Sir, look at this..."
The Dali Temple Minister Song Yunshuo first reached out to take it, then curled his lips and sneered.
"Bribing officials is an even more serious crime."
The fat magistrate was dumbfounded. This was not right. It shouldn't be like this.
"Sir, if you think it's not enough, I can give you another two hundred taels." In fact, he didn't embezzle much, only a little over a thousand taels, and the rest were embezzled by the county magistrate, the legal advisor, and the captain of the police.
The Dali Temple Minister Song Yunshuo was about to scold him, but suddenly he had an idea and changed the subject.
"Oh, give me another two hundred taels?" He wanted to see where this man's bottom line was.
The fat magistrate frowned: Could it be that two hundred taels is too little?
The fat magistrate's heart sank: It turns out that the officials of the Dali Temple are not good people either.
Helpless, he gritted his teeth and spoke.
"That four hundred taels, I really don't have any left."
The Dali Temple Minister Song Yunshuo didn't believe his lies: since this person was willing to be greedy, how could he only be greedy for 800 taels? It must be at least more than 1,000 taels.
"Okay, then I will just arrest them."
Everyone was shocked: Are we still going to catch them?
Thinking that the person in front of him was the highest-ranking official in the Dali Temple and a senior official of the imperial court, no one dared to offend him, so the county magistrate quickly spoke up.
"Sir, I will give you four hundred taels in a moment. Please wait a moment."
Dali Temple Minister Song Yunshuo smiled and said, "Okay."
These people want to perform so much, it would be inappropriate for him not to give them a chance.
The county magistrate immediately returned home to get four hundred taels of silver, got on a carriage and quickly rushed to the magistrate.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, the Dali Temple Minister Song Yunshuo received a total of three thousand taels, of which the fat magistrate contributed eight hundred taels; the county magistrate contributed seven hundred taels; the financial advisor contributed five hundred taels; the criminal law advisor contributed five hundred taels; and the head of the police contributed five hundred taels. Looking at the thick stack of banknotes in his hand, the Dali Temple Minister Song Yunshuo smiled heartily.
Everyone thought that he was finally satisfied, but the Dali Temple Minister Song Yunshuo suddenly changed the subject and gave certain instructions.
"Catch them to me." The officers and soldiers who were brought there directly pinned the five people to the ground, and no one was shocked.
The fat magistrate quickly said, "Sir, why are you doing this?"
Isn’t the money enough?
The Dali Temple Minister Song Yunshuo looked down at the parasites who were plundering the people and sneered.
"Why? Of course, we are investigating the case impartially. The Emperor is waiting for the results."
The fat magistrate was horrified: "Sir, please spare my life."
"Hahaha, do you think the three people who went out earlier were ordinary officers and soldiers?"
The cunning and treacherous county magistrate was shocked: "Isn't it?"
Dali Temple Minister Song Yunshuo smiled brightly: "I am kind enough to tell you this. He is the newly promoted Wu Consort, the Emperor's husband. Do you think I am too comfortable wearing my official hat, or do you think I am too smart to be in cahoots with a bunch of corrupt and lawless people like you?"
The five people were shocked: they thought he was an ordinary person, but they didn't expect it to be the empress's husband. This was a clear accusation of a crime.
Seeing their panicked faces, Dali Temple Minister Song Yunshuo felt very happy.
"Go, get the gongs and drums and announce to me, and let the people who have been wronged come forward to file their complaints. Just say that I am the Minister of Justice and can sentence them to death."
The government officials were divided into two teams and went to every corner of the county town to beat gongs and make announcements.
"If you report your grievances to the authorities, the Supreme Court Justice can sentence you to death..."
Hearing the sound of gongs in the street, many people were watching. Some people went to the county government office to find out the real situation and found that five people, including the fat magistrate, were tied up. They immediately went back and announced it to everyone.
"The magistrate has been kidnapped. Fellow villagers, go and beat the drums to protest."
With the help of these people, some people who were on the sidelines began to take action.
The drum for appealing for justice was struck with a thunderous sound, and the bailiffs brought the man into the court.
"Sir, please help us, sir. The magistrate has taken away more than ten acres of our fertile land. We are suffering..."
Song Yunshuo, the Dali Temple Minister, glared at the fat magistrate and the others, "That's outrageous! Do you have any evidence?"
Suddenly, the Dali Temple Minister Song Yunshuo remembered that all the legal advisors had been arrested, so he decided to select scholars from the onlookers to write the case for them.
"Among all the elders and fellow villagers, if there are any scholars, please step forward and help me write down the case."
Several scholars immediately stood out, and the Dali Temple Minister Song Yunshuo pointed casually.
"Then let this young master come."
"Thank you for giving me a chance." The man's neither humble nor arrogant attitude impressed the Dali Temple Minister Song Yunshuo.
The reasons why the people reported to the authorities were endless.
"Our mansion was taken away by the adults..."
……
"Our daughter was forced to sign a contract to sell herself..."
The Dali Temple Chief Justice Song Yunshuo's head was buzzing after hearing this, and he really wanted to use the gavel as a board to beat people.
