Chapter 255 Masters in Touching Porcelain
"Since it was Xie Ji who did it, do we still need to seal it?"
Another official said that he actually knew that if Xie Ji did it, he would probably not be able to be blocked. Then Xie Ji would bite back.
"Seal him, seal him. I will bear all the responsibilities. Xie Ji is the prime minister, we can't do anything to him, but not that bookstore. We arrested the shopkeeper, tortured him, and slapped him with 180 charges.
, the bookstore was closed down as a matter of course."
An official said to the man, damn Xie Ji, you have done a lot of harm, you must be sealed, you must be sealed.
"You did it yourself and it has nothing to do with me." Xiao Yu said to him with a smile. This time it was really not my order.
But just to be on the safe side, let’s talk about it.
"Of course I won't do your Lordships' business."
After saying that, he immediately mobilized a group of soldiers and rushed to the door of the 'Sanwei Bookstore'.
"Seal him." After saying that, the soldiers went to seal the bookstore.
The scholars were shocked when they saw this scene.
The bookstore was closed down within a day of opening, and he hadn't even bought it yet.
They have been waiting for so long, and someone actually blocked it.
"Sir, what did this shopkeeper do to send so many soldiers here?" A scholar said to the official, he wants to seal it after I finish buying it.
When the scholars inside saw the formation outside, they were startled and immediately rushed out.
Hiding from a distance and watching the excitement, this scene is truly unprecedented in a century.
Just looking at the ‘Sanwei Bookstore’, it’s a bit of a pity.
"Take down the people inside. Then seal the bookstore." When the official saw that the shopkeeper inside was still sorting things out slowly, he was furious. You are Xie Ji's man and you dare to ignore me. It is simply unreasonable.
.
damn it.
"This, this...it's closed now. The shopkeeper didn't do anything wrong."
There is a scholar outside who is puzzled.
"Stop talking, do you know what is written in that newspaper? It is about the charges of some officials and some important court affairs. It is God's will not to arrest him."
"What?" The scholar was a little shocked after hearing this.
As he spoke, the scholar handed him a newspaper, pointed to a fixed place and said, "Look here."
The scholar saw it, and again, except for the fixed taxes, all other taxes were fake and could be refused to be paid.
Then he pointed to a place and looked at some things about Jiujiang County Sheriff, and introduced how he made personal gains.
Oh my God, I dare to say this.
No wonder this was blocked, it seems like it was something you asked for.
"Don't feel weird now."
The scholar shook his head. It was no longer strange. He believed that what was said in it should be true.
But I didn't expect that they would dare to expose this. It would be strange if these officials didn't do anything.
After a while, the shopkeeper and the clerk were all tied up, and then the bookroom became a mess. Everything was roughly messed up. Papers and bookshelves were all in a mess. After that, the seal on the door was very conspicuous.
"Take it away." When the official saw this, he said.
"Chang'an Order, have you asked the person you want to take away my opinion?"
At this time, Xie Ji came over slowly on horseback.
"Prime Minister." The shopkeeper called out to Xie Ji when he saw him. He was saved.
Xie Ji was followed by some soldiers, and they immediately formed a confrontation with Cheng Guan's people.
"I have met the Prime Minister." Cheng Guan immediately dismounted obediently when he saw Xie Ji.
"You haven't answered my question yet. What crime did the shopkeeper commit? I need to trouble you to come and pick him up in person." Xie Ji said sarcastically. If the newspaper hadn't stung you, you would have come here so quickly.
Have people been arrested?
"Criticize the court, propagate evil opinions, confuse the people, and disrupt the market."
Chang'an ordered Cheng Guan to say, aren't these charges enough to take him away?
"The crime, are you talking about this newspaper?" Xie Ji asked with a smile.
"Otherwise, what's the matter?" He said not to be outdone, you are the prime minister, I can't do anything to you, but if I arrest the shopkeeper, wouldn't it be okay?
"The newspaper is published by His Majesty. Are you going against His Majesty?"
What?
Impossible, Your Majesty cannot allow this kind of newspaper to circulate among the people.
"If you don't believe me, just ask His Majesty." Xie Ji looked at him and said with a smile.
But since Xie Ji is so sure, His Majesty should have allowed it.
However, he would not be so cowardly, so he said: "Prime Minister, it's not just the newspaper, but I just asked him so hard, but he beat the official, and violated the official with the people. This is a serious crime."
When Xie Ji heard this, his face darkened. He didn't expect that this man would dare to make up charges.
"Prime Minister, I don't have one. I was selling newspapers. They broke in indiscriminately and arrested me."
The people's jaws were shocked, how shameless. You were the one who arrested the person, but they didn't even touch you, and they actually said he beat you. Are you embarrassed?
And he acted sanctimoniously like he was beaten. Is this the highest level of hypocrisy?
"Did you see the shopkeeper beating Chang'an Ling?" Xie Ji said to the people.
The people were stunned, and then shook their heads. They were a little scared, but Xie Ji must not have come to arrest anyone, so there was nothing overly scary.
"Prime Minister, these common people have received a lot of benefits from the shopkeeper. As the saying goes, eating people is soft-spoken and taking advantage of others is short-handed. Naturally, I want to say good things for this shopkeeper. The lower officials are the victims. If you don't believe it, Prime Minister."
That Chang'an order didn't feel at all that his behavior was extremely shameless. Anyway, when I said I was beaten, I was beaten.
What did you say?
So he opened his sleeves, revealing the criss-crossing bruises inside. Everyone was shocked, what was going on with this hand?
Was he really beaten?
Were the scenes they saw wrong?
The beating marks on the arm were from a fight between Chang'an Ling and another official.
According to the rules of officialdom, you should not hit someone in the face even if you are beaten. Face is the most important thing. The last time Xie Jiren slapped someone in the face, it made many people unhappy.
Slapping them in the face will make them lose face and be watched like monkeys, seriously damaging their image and majesty.
Cheng Guan never thought that a fight would be such a good thing. Although it was a bit shameful, it was also evidence, wasn't it?
"Okay, Chang'an Order is good enough." Xie Ji clapped his hands and said with a smile. He didn't expect this man to be so shameless, but since he knew he couldn't eradicate this bookstore, he still wanted to arrest the shopkeeper.
What Chang'an Ling was thinking was that he would lose face if he left like this.
At that time, it will inevitably leave an image of people running away, so they will have to be tougher.
He can be cowardly in other aspects, but he cannot be cowardly in front of so many people. Once he is cowardly, these people will laugh at him in the future.
Therefore, I can only forcefully suppress a crime. It is very simple to release people. I can wait until I take them away and then release them when no one is around. But you cannot release people in public.
"Take down the Chang'an order. He beat me, and I'll take him down as well." Xie Ji said, "Ouch," and said to the guards behind him.
Everyone: Why are these officials so shameless?
Xie Ji opened his sleeves and pinched his fair arms hard, and then they turned red instantly.
Commoner: You are exaggerating. I clearly saw you pinching your own arm. He did have signs of beating after all.
Cheng Guan: Why are you more shameless than me, telling lies with open eyes?
"Prime Minister, as we all know, the lower official is a few steps away from the Prime Minister. How can I beat the Prime Minister? The Prime Minister should not open his eyes and tell lies."
When Guan Cheng saw Xie Ji being so blind, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Xie Ji was so skilled at fabricating charges.
However, I still dealt with it in a familiar manner, without any fear at all.
"The truth is that I was beaten. When I say that you beat me, you are beating me." Xie Ji said with a smile. This time it was a bit shameless, but you must use shameless methods to deal with shameless people.
Xie Ji's guards arrested Cheng Guan, but his guards did not dare to move.
"Send him to the Ministry of Punishment for me to deal with. Prime Minister, do you also want to send me to the Ministry of Punishment?"
Chang'an ordered Cheng Guan to say that he was not worried about his own safety at all. What he was thinking about now was his reputation. He was so tough. In the eyes of the people, the Chang'an County Magistrate still had backbone and remained calm in times of danger. When facing Xie Ji
Neither humble nor arrogant, it is truly unprecedented.
It really has the style of the ancients.
"Okay, send the Chang'an order to the Ministry of Punishment, and we'll ask officials from the Ministry of Punishment to judge." Xie Ji said. He didn't expect that he would be arrested and that the shopkeeper would also be arrested.
The people were even more stunned. What was this?
They just saw that the two men were shameless people. They said that they were beaten even though they were not beaten at all.
The shopkeeper was also heartbroken. He just sold a newspaper and got into such a big deal.
By the time these two groups of people were walking vigorously towards the Ministry of Punishments together.
Some people want to see the follow-up, some are stuck, and some are talking about it.
"You are so smart, you should know what is going on."
"It's very simple, they are all doing it to save face."
What, for the sake of face?
"Can you explain this more clearly?"
