This is the second time that the Metropolitan Guard Battalion has carried out a mission.

The main responsibilities of this agency are to deal with assassinations and clear obstacles for the king, and most of the things involved are related to officialdom, which is completely different from the Wuwei Mansion.

It also obeys only the king, and does not have authority over any official office.

A few days later, late at night, Wei Zhong's mansion.

The door of the mansion was forcibly smashed open, and the torches were bright, looking at the strangers in front of him, Wei Zhongna couldn't help but shout: "You, you are bold!" How dare you trespass into the mansion of this official! Who the hell is it!? ”

"Duwei Battalion."

Liang Yuan was concise and to the point.

He was at the front, and behind him were a group of men.

All the people are brocade clothes, brocade belts, official boots, all the same clothes, and slender swords hanging from their waists.

"What...... Anything is guarded! I haven't heard of it at all! Wei Zhong exclaimed, he really didn't know, because the current Duwei camp did not have any reputation, and only some of the ministers of the court knew that the king had set up this department.

"You'll find out soon." After Liang Yuan finished speaking, he waved his hand directly: "Take it!" ”

He gave the order, and everyone in the Duwei camp immediately moved.

But Wei Zhong was willing, and immediately drank again: "Bold!" This official is an official of the imperial court! Where the hell did you come from? How dare you be so bold! ”

"Don't scream, Lord Wei." Liang Yuan took out the token with a cold face, held it high with one hand, and showed it to everyone, and at the same time said lukewarmly: "On the king's order, arrest Wei Zhong, whoever dares to stop it will be killed." ”

As soon as he said this, he said goodbye, and the servants in the palace immediately began to retreat, where did they dare to step forward.

Wei Zhong, on the other hand, was shocked and shouted again and again: "How is this possible! This official is not guilty......"

But no one paid attention to his shouts, and he was quickly tied up by the Duwei camp and escorted back to Qinzhou overnight.

At the same time, a large amount of silver was found in his mansion.

At this time, together with the evidence from Wuwei's Mansion and the confessions of the villagers of Wangjia Village, Wei Zhong no longer needed to be retried.

The day of the court.

"Xuan, Yunyang County ordered to enter the palace"

With the attendant's loud chanting, Wei Zhong was still wearing a county magistrate's uniform, and walked up the steps in a panic towards the main hall.

Since he was escorted back to the capital by the Duwei camp, he has been nervous, and at this moment, he has even raised his heart to his throat.

And he is only a seven-grade county order, if in normal times, how can he go to the court, therefore, after he came in, the civil and military ministers in the hall involuntarily looked sideways.

Wei Zhong was worried, shrunk his shoulders and hung his head, took small steps, walked quickly to the hall, and then knelt on the ground, put his hands on the side of his head, pouted his buttocks, and said in a trembling voice: "See the king's ......"

Xiao Yuan didn't let him get up, but stared at him coldly, suppressed his anger and said, "Yunyang County Order, Wei Zhong, do you know why this king summoned you to the palace?" ”

"Minister, minister doesn't know ......" Unconsciously, the cold sweat on Wei Zhong's forehead had already burst out.

"This king just wants to see what a dog official who drinks the blood of my Qin army soldiers looks like! What an abomination! ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Yuan couldn't suppress his anger anymore, he stood up all of a sudden, pointed at Wei Zhong who was kneeling on the ground and shouted:

"I, the soldiers of the Qin army, are on a bloody battlefield! fought to the death, and only then did he win today's Qin State! That's why we have today's temple! But the corrupt officials are hateful! How dare you covet the salaries of the martyrs! ”

"The king is angry, Weichen, Weichen is wronged......" Wei Zhong shouted in a trembling voice.

"Wronged? You dog! Dare to shout injustice! The confessions of the villagers of Wangjia Village are on the case of the lonely Wang! The stolen money in your house is still piled up there! ”

Hearing this, Wei Zhong panicked even more, knelt there, and couldn't stop wiping the cold sweat on his forehead with his official uniform: "The king spares his life, the king spares his life......"

"Shut up!" Xiao Yuan became more and more angry, and couldn't help but point at him and shout:

"You deserve to wear this official uniform too!"

"On the Martyr's Hall, how many heroic spirits of soldiers are watching you!"

"Someone! Drag me down! Divide the corpse with a knife! Chop into a puree! ”

Xiao Yuan was furious, and immediately two forbidden soldiers walked in, and then one left and one right, pulled up Wei Zhong on the ground and left.

The latter was dragged to the ground, his whole body was soft, and he howled desperately: "The king spares his life! Wechen knows his mistake! The king spares his life......"

But what is it bad for him to be greedy, he is greedy for the salary of the martyrs, in this regard, Xiao Yuan's anger is boundless, how can he spare him!

After he was dragged away, Xiao Yuan also looked around at the ministers in the palace, and said angrily:

"Look! Look! A small prefectural order! How dare you be so bold! Not only embezzle the salaries of martyrs! It's even more careless about human life! And so on, I, an official of the Qin State, don't know how many there are! ”

He shouted angrily, and the jade beads on the crown in front of his forehead trembled slightly, and the majesty of the king made all the ministers below kneel down and say in unison:

"The King's Wrath"

"Retreat!" Where can Xiao Yuan dissipate his anger, it was a wave of his robe, and he walked off the Wang case angrily.

After Wei Zhong's incident, Xiao Yuan immediately summoned Liang Yuan again and instructed him:

"Just one Yunyang County, a small county order, dares to do corrupt things, other places, I don't know what it looks like, go to investigate, dispatch all the elites of the capital guard camp, inspect all counties in various places, in the matter of martyrs' salaries, all corrupt officials, no matter who he is, how big his background is, after the evidence is conclusive, will be beheaded! The main offender, and even the nine clans! ”

"No!" Liang Yuan hurriedly responded.

From the words, it can be seen that in this matter, Xiao Yuan is intolerable, talented officials, high status, accept some gifts, greedy for some inconsequential, these, Xiao Yuan, as a king, may turn a blind eye at some point, but in the salary of the martyrs, it violates his bottom line!

After his order was issued, the entire Duwei battalion was dispatched and began to go to various places to investigate major corruption cases.

Many officials were caught up and beheaded on the spot after collecting evidence.

Subsequently, the Duwei Battalion even questioned all those who were implicated, and that was not spared.

In the end, a bloody storm has been set off.

Many officials were silent, and at this time, the Duwei camp was even more changed by the officialdom of the Qin State and avoided it.

Under the large-scale killing, the situation has intensified, and even a wide range of innocent people have been involved.

At this time, Qin Xiang Liu Yuzhi couldn't stand it anymore, so he immediately found Liang Yuan, pointed at the latter's nose, and reprimanded sharply:

"If you investigate corruption, you will investigate corruption, but how many innocent people have been implicated in such killings! The Duwei battalion is simply lawless! Outrageous! That's the end of it! ”

He is the prime minister of Qin, and he is worried about the country and the people, Liang Yuan may dare not listen to the opinions of other ministers, but he respects and fears Liu Yuzhi from the bottom of his heart.

couldn't help but hurriedly arched his hand and bent over and said, "Yes, Xiangguo is angry." ”

"Humph! Hello for yourself! Liu Yuzhi's anger did not subside, and he brushed his sleeves away.

Liang Yuan couldn't help but slide his Adam's apple, and secretly swallowed saliva.
