Xie Ji wanted to swear. This Li Wenchang actually confused right and wrong. If this matter was not handled well, his reputation would be even worse, and it would be more difficult to restore his reputation by then.

When the people around heard Li Wenchang's words, they thought that whatever crazy things the county magistrate had done in the past two days, it turned out to be Xie Ji's order.

He exploited the people and caused many casualties. It turned out to be Xie Ji's fault.

"Li Wenchang, do you think you can frame the truth by confusing right and wrong? What do you think a million silver taels is in the eyes of the truth? Let me tell you, it's nothing. I will come to you specifically for a million silver taels. What a joke, I am.

The bribes the Prime Minister has received far exceed tens of millions, and the truth is that he will come to you personally because of your millions of taels?"

"The other one is even more ridiculous. If I really wanted a young lady, would you come to Changling County to find a young lady? Do you think I am such a casual person?"

Xie Ji sarcastically said, this man's ability to beat people up is quite impressive. This is the first time someone has framed him, and he is just a small county magistrate. Even if he doesn't care about himself, doesn't he care about his family? Is he really stupid, or is he just going to give it to him?

It's not easy to find. If it were someone else's words, they might not even dare to refute, just admit their own guilt.

It's really strange that this person is still causing trouble for me now. If he had been based on his character, he wouldn't be so easy to talk to, and he might be blamed for all the crimes in the law.

No matter whether it is true or not, and then kill this heinous person from the nine tribes, the original person seems to be so rough.

But I can't do it myself. I can convince people by myself. If I do what I did, not only will the people be dissatisfied, but my reputation will become even more stinky, and there will be no way to save it.

However, as soon as Xie Ji said this, the people paid attention to Xie Ji's words of tens of millions. This sentence caused the opposite direction. All their money and food were taken away by the officials. It turned out that it all went into Xie Ji's pocket.

This treacherous minister actually admitted that he had accepted bribes, which far exceeded tens of millions. In this way, this treacherous minister was definitely a treacherous minister, and he admitted it himself.

If he were not a traitor, would he accept the bribe worth tens of millions? In the eyes of the people, those who accept bribes are definitely traitors. Honest officials will not accept bribes. What's more, we are drying in the sun for a few taels of silver, and this thank you

Ji, actually sitting at home, tens of millions of silver taels will be delivered to your door. Why do you think he is not a traitor?

"The more money, the better, and so are the beauties. Prime Minister, you yourself have promised me that as long as I follow your instructions, I will be promoted when the time comes. Otherwise, I will be killed. I have no choice but to do so."

Ah, it was all ordered by the Prime Minister." What Li Wenchang said was really serious. He wouldn't survive anyway, but it was good to be able to hack the Prime Minister, which gave him a special sense of accomplishment.

As soon as Li Wenchang said this, the people started whispering to each other. Xie Ji obviously heard someone say this to him: "So this is the true face of a traitor. Let me just say, a traitor is a traitor. He doesn't take the life and death of our people seriously."

.”

"Please keep your voice down. What if the traitor sees this and gets angry and kills us all?"

"Kill, just kill. Sooner or later, we will all die, either starved to death or killed. God is unfair. Why do bad people live well but let good people suffer?"

Although these discussions and whispers were very quiet and mixed, Xie Ji obviously heard them. The people were obviously dissatisfied with him, not just ordinary dissatisfaction, but very dissatisfied.

Although Li Wenchang was very hated by the people, he transferred his hatred to Xie Ji because he said it was Xie Ji's order.

Xie Ji regretted a little, why did he hold a public trial? Now that he is fine, words against him are coming one after another. If he had dealt with it directly at the county government and posted a notice, he would not only gain a reputation, but it would also be convenient.

No need to go to such trouble.

"The truth is that I haven't said this to you, so I haven't done it. I admit that I am not an upright official, nor a virtuous minister. You people, you people, call me a treacherous minister, and I also admit it. The truth is indeed

The traitor is indeed not a good person."

As soon as Xie Ji said this, everyone was shocked. Liu Shui thought how the head of the family could admit that he was a traitor. The head of the family was not a traitor. Li Yun was surprised that no official had ever dared to admit that he was a traitor in public. Never.

, and this infamous prime minister actually admitted that he was a traitor in front of everyone. Once these words came out, they would definitely spread throughout the country.

The people were also surprised that this treacherous minister actually admitted that he was a treacherous minister. This broke their previous views on officials. In the past, officials would not admit that they were treacherous ministers even if the evidence of guilt was conclusive. However, this prime minister, who has all the power in the government,

, actually admitted it openly.

The scholars were also surprised. Xu Bin was stunned. Why was this prime minister different from what he imagined? From ancient times to the present, he had never seen an official admit that he was a traitor in public. This was really beyond his expectation. No,

This prime minister has been breaking his previous understanding of treacherous ministers from the beginning.

"Quiet, listen to me." Xie Ji looked at the commotion around him. He was indeed a traitor. There was no way to refute this. No matter how much he tried to hide that he was not a traitor, he couldn't hide it. It might be counterproductive, but if he did the opposite,

If you follow the path, you may have different effects.

After the people calmed down, Xie Ji stood up from his seat and said as he walked: "Everyone, you must also know my identity. I am a traitor, right? You must think so too."

The people were silent when asked, not knowing how to answer. How dare they talk to the treacherous officials?

"Yes, that's what I thought." A voice came out, and everyone turned around. Whoever is so bold may risk his life.

Xie Ji looked at the place where the voice came from. It turned out to be Xu Bin. He was the one who had just questioned that he was a scholar. He was really brave. He knew that he was a traitor and still dared to respond. Xie Ji walked down the high platform and went to Xu Bin.

Walking slowly.

Fortunately, I am not the original person, otherwise the original person's character of liking to tell the truth may have been dead long ago.

"Yes, what you are saying is that you are very courageous. You know that I am a traitor and you still talk to me like this." This man is really courageous, but Xie Ji will not argue with him.

"Why don't you dare? You asked us yourself, and I told the truth. Is it wrong?"

As soon as this sentence came out, Xie Ji thought you really dared to answer it. I was just making fun of myself, but the nature would be different if you answered it.

"Yes, it is indeed true. What I am saying here today is that the prime minister is indeed a treacherous official. He levied more taxes and issued more corvees. This is exactly what the prime minister remonstrated with your majesty. You should scold me, even if you criticize me.

It's okay to spit." Xie Ji admitted his crime generously, without any cover-up and calmly.

"Prime Minister, I have something that I don't understand. Can you please explain it?" Xu Bin continued to speak, and Xie Ji looked at him. What's wrong with this man? He keeps interrupting me.

So Xie Ji said calmly: "Ask."

"Prime Minister, since you are a traitor, why did you say these words? This makes me very puzzled." After Xu Bin said this, Xie Ji felt a little bit like scolding her. I was about to say, it wasn't you who interrupted me, really.

Trolls, trolls, the ancient version of trolls, so mad.

"The truth was about to explain the reason, but you interrupted me." If Xie Ji hadn't interrupted my explanation, I would have said it long ago.

Xu Bin was also a little embarrassed, so he said: "Prime Minister, please continue."

He wanted to see what this treacherous minister had to say. There must be monsters when things go wrong, not to mention that this was too abnormal and unprecedented. However, he interrupted him just now and his tone was not very good. He didn't

After all, if it were other officials, they would never expose it.

"In the past, the truth has indeed been to slander His Majesty, to carry out harsh government, and to impose many corvees. But the truth will naturally be acknowledged for what the truth has done, and it is impossible for others to take the blame for what the truth has not done."

"The Prime Minister admits that the increase in taxes was done by the Prime Minister, but the collection of all people's money in Changling County this time is definitely not an order from the Prime Minister." Xie Ji became serious and looked at Changling County Magistrate Li Wenchang, "I

The true nature of things Xiang has done will be acknowledged, but the true nature of things Xiang has never done will never be acknowledged, so bring people up."

What Xie Ji said just now was extremely serious, and everyone was shocked. It was really scary when the traitor became angry. The entire vegetable market fell into silence, and no one spoke.

Xu Bin was also shocked. He had dared to talk to Xie Ji like this just now. It seemed that he was very scary when he was angry. However, this traitor seemed not to be lying. He himself admitted the bad things he had done.

But he refused to admit what happened this time. Was it really not an order given by a traitor?

A soldier dragged several people to the vegetable market. The leader was Wang Fugui, the shopkeeper of Fengxianglou, and the rest were the waiters of Fengxianglou.

When Wang Fugui and his assistant saw Xie Ji, they said: "Prime Minister, please spare my life, Prime Minister, please spare my life..."

"Wang Fugui, I want to ask you. You should remember very clearly what happened to Changling County Magistrate Li Wenchang in the Fengxiang Building seven days ago. Please tell me."

Xie Ji's tone was extremely cold, as if he didn't care about Wang Fugui, an ant, but just this cold tone made Wang Fugui feel terrible. This kind of pressure is really not something ordinary people have.

"Prime Minister, let me tell you, that day at the Flavor Building, I didn't know your identity, Prime Minister, because you were just a relatively wealthy scholar, and you didn't recruit and entertain you well." He looked at Xie Ji and found that Xie Ji

His face was still expressionless, and he became more and more frightened, but he still continued tremblingly, "That day, the county magistrate was too young, and we discussed in a private room that this time the prime minister would suppress the bandits, and he would bribe the prime minister, and then the county magistrate would

It was suggested that the wealth of everyone in Changling should be pooled to collect the one million taels of silver to bribe the prime minister, and that all the good-looking young ladies in Changling should be seized and given to the prime minister to gain the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune.
