Chapter 103 Lu Jizhong【Seeking the Moon(1/2)
There are many bad policies in Xijing, and the powerful are deeply entrenched and involved in a wide range of things. Even the most capable governor can only suppress them temporarily to save face.
Treating the symptoms is difficult to treat the root cause.
Severe cases require strong medication.
Most people cannot give this powerful medicine, only Cao Xin can.
“Fight violence with violence!”
"This works great!"
In Juxian Manor, Lu Damiao looked excited. Among the yamen, he was the most well-informed and had already known the attitude of the yamen at all levels in Xijing City, including the dignitaries of various families, towards this matter.
Nothing to say.
One word——
angry!
Two words——
Afraid!
"Shocked and angry!"
"Fear!"
"But they have nothing to do with the 'Iron God Marquis'. If they don't restrain themselves, they have to think about the forty-four gambling houses that have been burned down in the past three months, and they have to think about the 'Xijing Army'
The large amounts of gunpowder and fire oil that were stolen from the vessel."
"Who is not afraid of a sharp sword hanging over one's head?"
Zou Long was a little gloating about his misfortune.
In the past, officials protected each other and the powerful colluded, and no one could punish them even if they broke the law. He had been working at the Yamen for more than a year and had seen too many such things.
At first I was very angry, but later I became a little numb.
no way.
The general trend is hard to change.
But it’s different now, the ‘Tiedan Shenhou’ was born——
Burn the gambling house!
Steal weapons!
A set of combination punches immediately stunned the entire Xijing City.
The powerful are furious!
But also scared!
"Many dignitaries in Xijing have even left the city overnight to avoid trouble."
Xie Changlin was on duty at the city gate these days. He saw many dignitaries leaving the city in a hurry and felt happy and relieved.
It is a rare sight to see powerful people fleeing in panic.
Too embarrassing.
Looks like a lost dog.
In the small courtyard.
The discussion was lively.
Wei Feifei, Wei Baoju and Cao Xin sat in the corner together, feeling the atmosphere in the court. Even Wei Feifei, who had always been heartless, was slightly silent at this time.
Rich family.
Prominent family.
Jin gentry.
If it is more serious, if it is measured according to the "Forty-five Treaty Laws" left by the "Tiedan Shenhou", which one dares to say that they are innocent?
Don't say anything else.
When it comes to taking care of people’s lives, we include ‘domestic slaves’ and ‘servants’.
But even in Weijiabao, as far as Wei Feifei and Wei Baoju knew, they had killed several people.
This is so normal in Daliang!
However, what they perceive as normal is different from what Cao Xin perceives.
Cao Xin refused.
No matter whether his deterrence can reach this level or whether he can completely eradicate all kinds of feudal dross, as long as Cao Xin mentions it, it can at least deter some people and change some people, and that is enough.
"Aren't there good people in rich families?" Wei Feifei looked at Cao Xin, worried that he thought the same.
"maybe."
Cao Xin saw the little girl's thoughts and said with relief: "Ruling a family is like running a country. Under the rule of a wise and benevolent king, there will inevitably be many corrupt officials. Among wealthy families, there must be heads of families who are dirty and dirty that the clansmen cannot see. In this world, from
There is no shortage of villains who take advantage of others’ power.”
"Then if there is a certain servant in the Su family who goes out behind Xiao Su Tanhua's and his son's back to harm a kind family, will the whole Su family be blamed in the end?"
"Would it be too unfair if the Su family was burned down because of this?"
Wei Feifei didn't quite understand.
The example she gave was 'Su Family', but in reality she was asking about 'Wei Family Fort'.
have to say.
The commotion caused by the 'Tiedan Shenhou' in Xijing City really shocked and frightened the children of wealthy families like Wei Feifei and others.
Frightened and confused.
Three views shattered.
"The meaning of 'Tiedan Shenhou' should be that he wants the powerful families to restrain their servants and children more in the future."
"There is a shock outside."
"There are constraints within."
"There shouldn't be too many crimes. But if these people are unwilling to restrain themselves and don't know how to respect them, the end will definitely not be pretty."
This is Cao Xin's most authoritative interpretation.
He had a clear idea of how to 'supervise' Xijing.
Seeing that Wei Feifei was still worried, he added: "There is only one place in Xijing City, and the 'Iron God Marquis' may not be able to take care of it, let alone outside Xijing City. Take advantage of this time to quickly check and correct yourself.
It is the right thing to purge oneself within the family. Even if you are not a brave lord, or do not want to avoid disasters, isn't this what you should do?"
As you can imagine——
Weijiabao is such a big business. After two hundred years of ups and downs, the foundation will never be too clean.
But this is an ally, unlike the Zhou family and Sanyuanfang. Cao Xin is not some selfless Qingtian master. As long as he can barely get by, as long as he restrains himself and turns a blind eye, it will be over.
However.
It is this "doing whatever you want" that some people are really worried about.
…
"The power of life and death rests in the hands of the 'Tiedang Shenhou'. With just one person's view of good and evil, he can burn down homes and destroy households. Who wouldn't be afraid?"
Cao Xin himself understood this truth.
He also considered Wei Feifei's previous concerns.
"It's difficult for me to supervise the entire Xijing City by myself."
"Sometimes it is inevitable to overgeneralize and misrepresent good things because of one person or one thing."
Therefore, we still need to recruit more people.
…
"Iron-gallant God Lord!"
"A role model for our generation!"
"Happy! So happy!"
Lu Jizhong returned home after drinking with his friends. While drinking sobering tea, he was still in high spirits.
There is never a shortage of chivalrous people in the world. They can't stand corrupt officials and cannot see the injustice in the world.
then--
Some people are complaining.
There are people who act chivalrously and righteously.
