Chapter 941 Murderous Aura Ling Qiong (continued)
In the spring of February of the seventh year of Taiping, the Jiangdong corruption case broke out. The emperor was angry and the scholars were in a state of great emotion. He then asked for guilty. He was punished by more than a hundred families in Hangzhou and Yue, and all the officials involved in the scholars and commoners were not exempted... Jiangdong Deputy Envoy (Li) Zan, the Supervisor (Pi) was resting day after day, and was also criticized...
The chief offenders and those who were cleared from each other were sentenced to death, and the family members were sentenced to three thousand miles away, and the three tribes were sentenced to writings from their families. The family members were sentenced to writings from their families... Ten evil deeds, skinned the market and the grass was first heard in the world.
"Wuli's Farewell Aspirations. Encouragement to Learn"
——I am the dividing line—
On the waterway wharf outside Jiangling City, Yu Eshui, who had just returned from another place, looked at the place where he wrote the report on his paper - the headquarters of the Town Rebel Association in Xingyifang, Xixingcheng, Jiangling City, instead of the patrol team or missionary center that others are common, or even the Agricultural Technical Institute of the Grand Lecture Center.
"I asked you to suppress the rebels? That's right... You don't know how much trouble happened before on the road, right? It's because of the news sent back by the group of people you led!"
However, Wang Renshou, who came to greet him, sighed without hesitation:
"Now the Governor is extremely angry, and he ordered all the people to investigate the whole country and severely punish them. Now, not only are there many stakeholders and other families, but even the academic officials of the Mission and Education Department and the Jiangdong Aftermath Office have been stolen... Many official duties have been suspended, and the past has been investigated by the anti-revolutionary committee!"
"Isn't it the right thing for us to live for the people and to uphold justice?"
Yu Eshui responded inexplicably when he heard this, but suddenly he lost his mind and remembered his previous experiences:
It is obviously a town with a simple folk custom in Yuezhou for generations, but because someone passed the exam to the school of the large lecture hall, it caused great trouble and bad things. Because the ancestors of the exam were foreign households and small surnames, they were secretly fiddled with the local corpus of the dual relationship between in-laws and teachers, and even bought the village officials and modified the posted list.
If the other party hadn't thought that after he failed the exam, he happened to come to the county to petition and relax, and he could see the difference in the list. I'm afraid that this matter would really sink into the sea and never make a breakthrough. However, the most hateful thing is the corpse known as the scholarly family. After the ill-intentioned relationship was discovered, it was not about to make up for and correct it, but relied on the relationship and kinship of the village to mobilize all aspects to put pressure and force the victim's family.
Even the victim's family had to escape overnight and hide at the home of relatives in the city, and then escaped the follow-up persecution of the corps. What's worse was that the local handling personnel who had been in love with him wanted to keep this matter down and think that they would protect themselves. Therefore, they not only tried to block the victim's request, but also secretly instructed the rogue to harass and Luo Suozhi, which made him feel uneasy day and night.
He also tried to invite the victim's teacher. In the same year, relatives and friends took turns to coerce and induce, only asking the victim to sign the so-called voluntary collusion to change the school registration that gave up accountability. He even lured and detained the victim's family in disguise, and forced the family to press down on the huge debt bill to think it was a threat.
If it weren't for the undercover investigation team where Yu Eshui was located, he happened to arrive nearby as a plaster vendor and found some clues, and I'm afraid the victim would have to surrender to it at the end of his life. After all, the other party was just an ordinary middle-class family. The whole family was a hard work and farmed among the limited acres, but he would only support such a long-time man who reads and reads; he was really unbearable.
The inside story of this incident also touched Yu Eshui, who had been persecuted by a large number of persecutions; what happened later was relatively simple. Although the corresponding undercover investigation team could not directly interfere in the local area, they could apply for assistance from the garrison under special circumstances to protect the corresponding person's evidence.
No matter how hard those people are in the local area, they can't interfere with and influence the Taiping garrison position, which is dominated by foreign soldiers. Therefore, the follow-up matters are not something he can personally control, and Yu Eshui and others, who are inevitably exposed to their identities, have to embark on the way back to Jiangling to report their duties in advance.
But he didn't expect that His Highness the King of Chu's reaction and disposal methods were much more intense and tough than he thought. And this senior Wang Renshou continued to mutter:
"Next, stay in the place where the anti-revolutionary regime will be arranged, and don't walk around or have contact with others anymore; because this may affect the evaluation results of your subsequent inquiry matters; after all, you and I are both the origins of the Third Detachment, and I really don't want you to be involved in any right or wrong."
"What, can you still be in Jiangling City..."
Yu Eshui was a little surprised and said:
"Don't think too much. Jiangling City is naturally the world's top security."
Wang Renshou shook his head and said:
"However, the interests involved in this matter are not small; since you are in it, you are naturally not afraid of open means, but you must be careful of some intrigues and ways to create momentum!"
"How could this be like this? It's just a place..."
Yu Eshui was a little surprised:
"This may seem like a chance discovery in a mere corner of Jiangdong; but for those old families and official families who have always been subject to the success of the Taiping Examination and have no family status to apply for the exam and go to the officialdom, they may not be able to take it lightly!"
Wang Renshou said solemnly:
"If the Grand Governor intends to reconcile and further reorganize and clear the situation in Jiangdong, you are the key point; saying a thousand words means being cautious and keeping oneself in mind, never give these people the opportunity to slander, frame and question your position and attitude!"
"Thank you for your advice. I'm here to go to the province."
Yu Eshui also respectfully bowed to the senior who came to give him some advice.
Of course, for Wang Renshou, who was born in the third detachment but from the Wang family of Jinyang, Hedong, there are actually some inconvenient speculations. For example, did the Grand Governor/His Highness of the King of Chu intend to use this Daxing Edict Prison to liquidate the early retained personnel of the Third Road of Jiangdong and further suppress the existence of those traditional scholars and old officials in the Superintendent Office?
After all, with the re-cultivation and re-creation of the students in the Great Training Institute, they have gradually been enriched among grassroots organizations and personnel at all levels in various places; the traditional scholars and students who have contributed halfway and recruited them out of order have gradually declined.
Therefore, this corruption case may not be a touchstone, which tests the positions and attitudes of these old scholars; whether they can still keep up with the development trend of the Taiping Army and continue to maintain a place in the new dynasty: or just sink into trouble and die in the nameless world.
——I am the dividing line—
At the same time, Dongchuan Road, outside Shehong City in southern Zizhou, seemed to be in chaos after continuous battle.
The Dongchuan Army, under Song Hao's command, and the Taiping Yuzhou Expeditionary Army, which occupied Shehong County, have fought more than a dozen formations one after another. Although the two armies suffered casualties, the Dongchuan Army's losses were slightly greater than that of the Yuzhou Expeditionary Army; but they also successfully blocked and bounded them near Shehong City and could no longer advance much.
Behind the camp established by Song Hao, there were civil servants and tutors who were constantly moving from the direction of the prefecture city; between this relatively gentle north-south valley road, many camps were built to facilitate protection and resistance. However, although everything seemed to be advancing in an orderly manner as expected, Song Hao, as the main general, did not have much lust or pleasure.
Because, he originally expected that the battlefield to block the enemy and tug-of-war was not under the Shehong City, but was near the city of Chengcheng County (now Nanqijiang Township, Santai County, Sichuan Province), which had more favorable land and people; Shehong City itself was also lost too quickly. And the thief army in front of him took the initiative to suspend the confrontation and could not defend it, which was not entirely due to the frustration of the official army, but also because the medicine and equipment were consumed.
However, once the Jiangxun arrives in the spring, the subsequent water transportation will return to smooth and convenient, which is probably another new round of war and offensive period. And during the buffer period he has been trying to lead his troops south, it is undoubtedly the last time to prepare for the war. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask Zhu Jingmei, the envoy of the Military Supervisory Academy in Dongchuan:
"Have you been in Hexichuan Town, but still haven't replied?"
