Lu huaijiang looked at Lord Xia.
The ministers looked at Lord Xia in silence.
Lord Xia grinned flatteringly, his smile so wide that his eyes could not be seen.
The Emperor, who always hated the courtiers ‘flattery, looked away after a glance.
Oh my God, His Majesty actually didn’t act up and didn’t punish him?
[ Your Majesty, does he have something that can be used against you? ]
Lord Xia coughed lightly,”if you shirk responsibility, the county magistrate under you will not be able to live.” Look at all of you eating until your brains are full of fat, and look at others, they are all skin and bones.”
It was true. The small county magistrate looked like he had not slept well for a long time. He was yellow-skinned and thin.
If he wasn’t wearing his official uniform, who would believe that he was a county magistrate?
“Do you have anything to say? His superior is the magistrate, and since he has sent several letters asking for help, what do you say? Could it be that the messenger ate it?” Lu huaijiang’s expression was already bad.
“And you, as the provincial governor, such a huge flood has lasted for nearly a month. I think you are blind, and your heart is blind!” Lu huaijiang looked at the expressions of the officials and knew that the magistrate was probably telling the truth.
Whether the county magistrate was lying or not, they would know once they sent someone to investigate.
These idiots probably thought that the flood wasn’t big at first and didn’t pay much attention to it.
Later, when they realized that the situation had gone out of control, they did not dare to report it for fear of taking responsibility.
That was how he had come to this point.
Among them, Lord Li was the sage King’s man. Ever since the Crown Prince became the Emperor, the sage King had claimed to be sick and had not come to court.
Everyone knew that he was avoiding the sharp edge.
behead the Jiangnan provincial governor and the jiangzhou magistrate. Send their heads back to Jiangnan overnight to comfort the people. Lu huaijiang’s eyes were slightly cold, and the officials were so scared that they sat on the ground.
And the Jiangnan Governor was promoted after the Xian King returned to the capital.
He looked at old master Zheng, but old master Zheng didn’t even look at him. His son had just been released, so he didn’t dare to speak.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please spare my life …” The Jiangnan provincial governor’s dereliction of duty and his confession were not reported by the Jiang Prefecture magistrate.
“Behead the Jiang Prefecture’s magistrate for three generations.” Lu huaijiang’s expression was cold, and the Jiang Prefecture magistrate was so scared that he peed his pants.
Ever since the flood in Jiangnan broke out, he knew he would die. But if his wife and children, as well as his descendants, were implicated, he would be a sinner.
“I know I was wrong. I deserve to die, but my family doesn’t know anything. I know I’m wrong.” The Jiang Prefecture magistrate wailed.
“This official had a hard time becoming a magistrate, this official has failed in his duty, this official has implicated the common people. However, the young and old in my family are innocent. I beg Your Majesty to have mercy.” The Jiang Prefecture’s magistrate knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously. His head made a banging sound, and after a few kowtows, his head was bleeding.
The civil and military officials looked at each other. They had all been officials for many years. If one day, they implicated the old and young in their families, how miserable would they be?
The magistrate deserved to die, but the third generation was innocent.
A few ministers secretly nodded their heads. They had just taken a step forward and had yet to speak.
Lord Xia started talking again.
“You’re innocent. The people were homeless and their crops were gone. They lost their homes. Many people lost their parents and children in the flood. They were not innocent? They didn’t participate when you and your clansmen were having fun?”
“They rely on you to rise step by step, and if they make a mistake, you alone can compensate for a thousand lives! If he could use his family’s descendants to restrain the court officials, although it would be cruel, it would be beneficial to the common people. Since you know that you will bring disaster to your family, you should always be on guard. Otherwise, why would it be so easy to take the court’s money?” Lord yang rolled his eyes.
