A moment later, the crowd arrived at the temporary burial area.

This is the bottom of a mountain. When the fourth master approached, he smelled a smell of corpse decay.

Zhang Tingyu and Su Peisheng, who followed him, frowned.

But the fourth master didn't cover his nose, and they didn't dare to cover it, but his stomach was tumbling.

After approaching, we can see that in addition to some villagers at the foot of the mountain, there are also bodies piled up into the mountain.

There are hundreds of people stacked at the foot of the mountain.

Although the fourth master has been to many places these days, he has seen many such scenes.

But when he saw this scene, his calm eyes were still scarlet.

But his heart is not numb, on the contrary, he wants to manage this place well.

When any emperor was in office, he could not feel better when he saw this situation.

Every emperor hoped that his country would be peaceful.

Who would like to see the people living in poverty, starvation die everywhere.

At this time, the villagers met the fourth master and gathered in front of him, crying.

The bodyguards tried to pull them apart. The fourth master waved his hand to show them not to do anything to the boss's surnames.

Then, he looked at the villagers with scarlet eyes, and his voice was majestic: "please be calm. I came here today to solve your problems, so that you can live a good life and rebuild your home."

After hearing this, the common people just kowtow and wail.

Seeing this, the fourth Master said: "I personally came to your Chuang Tzu to listen to the opinions and suggestions of the people. If you have any suffering, please tell me, and the court will help you."

The reason why I came here in person was that I wanted to fully verify the relief materials to the people.

In addition, he also wants to listen to the voices of the people and see where the problems are.

Otherwise, the officials will only listen to the good report every time.

Bad things are always hidden.

If it was as good as it was written in the memorial, would it be the way it is now?

Hearing what the fourth Master said, those people did not dare to speak at first.

Because they are just ordinary farmers, they are worried that they will be retaliated by those officials after they have said so.

Seeing that they were trying to speak, the fourth master probably guessed why they did not dare to speak.

It's hard to look friendly on a cold face.

But at the same time, it also shows the incomparable majesty of the king.

He held his lips and said, "it's up to God if it doesn't rain. But sometimes, people's greed is more terrible than disaster. If it was not for the local government's inaction, the court's money would have been used to build canals. Where would this be

I have already known that the government has not done anything. Just speak up and I will deal with them.

It is, drought is not terrible.

If the canal is built, grain can also be planted.

But the government embezzled the silver, which led to such a disaster.

Even one side of Zhang Tingyu also said: "you don't have any worries, the emperor will make decisions for you."

Now, the villagers looked at each other one by one.

Then an old woman took the lead.

"Emperor, we don't have much money to grow crops. In addition to the drought in the field, we can't grow much grain every year. But the local officials charge us a lot of food taxes, and more and more year by year. Isn't this forcing people to die? "

"Yes, a few years ago, I heard that the imperial court helped other difficult areas. Some villagers in difficulties would not starve to death without making a fortune. But when we get here, even the disabled families do not have any help. When there is a drought, they have to wait day and night until they are buried in the Loess field. "

"By the way, the local officials also encroached on the land and collected dozens of acres of our land to grow cotton, but I didn't have a place to plant a little corn myself."

"And this drought, the water in the reservoir has dried up, we engaged in aquaculture, we simply lost a lot of ah."

In this way...

the fourth master stood in his place and listened to the people's voice patiently.

Although he had known for a long time that the government did not act, he did not know that they did not do so.

They not only overcharged the people's grain tax, embezzled the supplies provided by the court to the poor people, but also occupied the land of the people...

after a while, when the people had finished, the fourth master asked Zhang Tingyu to write down all these.

And gave the relief materials to the leader and villagers.

At the same time, he also took his bodyguards to bury the starving villagers on the mountain.

Due to the lack of time, he did not stop in the village, and went to the next village to be inspected.

Three days later, the fourth master dealt with the end of Baoping house. He could go back to Beijing.

It's just that there are still some things that need to be dealt with.

With thunderous speed, he ordered to copy the homes of dozens of local officials in Baoping Prefecture.All the property of the family was used for disaster relief.

In addition, he also ordered the beheading of the twelve officials at the gate of Baoping Prefecture, including the beheading of the twelve officials, the cutting of the waist, the cooking of cooking, the peeling of the skin, and the cracking of the chariot...

in any case, the top ten torture of the Qing Dynasty would like to be staged on these people in turn.

Even so, his face still has an upright look.

Because in his opinion, the lives of tens of thousands of people are nothing compared with this torture.

No one could have imagined that such a cold-blooded and merciless emperor listened to the people's voices in the disaster area a few days ago, brought them relief materials and solved one after another of their troubles.

However, Zhang Tingyu felt that these scenes were too cruel, so they tried to remind them: "emperor, although their crimes are unforgivable, they can't all be subjected to such cruel torture. This... Really damages your image in the hearts of the common people."

Originally, the emperor personally did this disaster relief, and his prestige in the local area was very good.

But if such cruel torture is carried out, the common people will be frightened.

Moreover, when the emperor ascended the throne before, eight masters and nine masters were told that the emperor had killed his father and had brothers and sisters.

In this way, the hard-earned image will be destroyed.

The fourth master knew what Zhang Tingyu meant, and he knew that they were for his good.

After the deep ink pupil turned slightly, he said: "that's it. The three most sinful ones will be beheaded or their backs beheaded."

In this way, the original ten scenes of torture were slightly changed.

Then, during the discussion with several ministers of Zhang Tingyu, the fourth Master said:

"besides, when killing corrupt officials, we should not only ask the common people to see them, but also the officials who are not allowed to go. I just want them to have a good look. I want them to have a good look. Their muscles are crisp and their bones are soft, they are scared to death, and their dreams are restless. In this way, their black eyes will become dark When Zhu stares at the silver, he will be surprised. He has to weigh it. He can't do too much, he has to think about leaving a way for himself. "

he also said:" these officials, who claim to be disciples of Confucius and Mencius, let them see this bloody scene is much more effective than reading a hundred Analects of Confucius and Mencius in a house! "
