Chapter 266: Punishing Corrupt Officials
The people next to him listened to the uncle tell all the grievances in his heart, and couldn't help but also say their grievances, in their hearts they had already regarded these as living bodhisattvas, the great lord of the blue sky, all knelt on the ground and prayed for them to be the master, "My lord, please give us the master." ”
The guards next to Lord Guo saw the people kneeling down to tell their grievances and begging these big people to call the shots, they couldn't help but panic, and threatened them hoarsely, "If you want to talk nonsense, I will cut you, who let you make up nonsense here to frame Lord Guo." "If Lord Guo falls, their group of guards will not be of any benefit, but will be unlucky.
The king and the crown prince looked at the people kneeling on the ground in front of them, crying bitterly, telling their grievances and praying for them to call the shots, and were angry, "Lord Guo, do you have anything else to defend?" What's going on, it's because of the moths like you in the Wuxu Kingdom that it causes such a miasma of smoke and misery, and the people are not happy, you guys are really damned. ”
Lord Guo defended with some fear, "These are all requested by the second prince, and I don't know, my lord, you have to be clear, all this is not up to me." At this time, he still has to move out of the second prince, trying to suppress them with the second prince.
The prince couldn't help but say angrily: "The second prince is dead, and you are still looting the people's fat and people's ointment, using him as a shield, okay, then let's go to your mansion to see whose pocket the money has been collected." ”
So General Si Kou pressed Lord Guo and his party towards Guo's mansion. Yun Sha and Cen Zhaohou looked at this scene, and estimated that they would stay in this town for the night today.
When he arrived at Guo's mansion, standing outside the mansion didn't seem to have too much luxury, and Xu Zhong, the housekeeper of Guo's mansion, had already received the news of the guards who had come back earlier, but he only knew that Lord Guo had been arrested, and he was preparing to assemble the guards at the gate of the mansion at this time.
Although the king's departure did not attract the attention of others this time, and he did not bring too many men, these people were all good at fighting against ten. When Xu Zhong thought that there were few people in front of him, they would have the upper hand, so he waved his hand, and the guards hurriedly rushed forward.
However, the king's subordinates have excellent martial arts, and it is not a problem to fight ten, and here Cen Zhaohou saw that someone wanted to attack Yun Sha, and with a sword, three or five people fell to the ground, and the guards next to him were frightened by this situation, what kind of people are these, they are fast and ruthless, there is no room for negotiation, and the guards who rushed over have already fallen to the ground and do not know whether they are alive or dead.
This made the rest of the guards dare not come forward to attack, because it was just a death in vain, Xu Zhong was also frightened, there were such guards were not ordinary people, and the guards in the palace couldn't beat them, and Lord Guo was in their hands again, so he could only kneel on the ground and beg them to let go.
Seeing that this conflict had subsided, the prince took off the token from his waist and faced Xu Zhong, and Xu Zhong, as a person who was mixed in the officialdom and was the second prince, was very familiar with this token, Xu Zhong was so frightened that he sat on the ground, "His Royal Highness the Prince, you are His Royal Highness the Prince." The guards next to him heard Xu Zhong's name for the person in front of them, and they also put down their weapons and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, "Meet His Royal Highness the Prince, the angry villain is clumsy, offended you, the villain deserves to die, ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for forgiveness." ”
The prince looked at the people who were kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, and ignored them, but shouted to them loudly: "Give you a chance to atone for your sins, give me to search this Guo Mansion, and don't let go of any place, if you find evidence of this Lord Guo's corruption and perversion of the law, I can spare you from the death penalty, but if you can't find it, then you can accompany your Lord Guo on the road." ”
Xu Zhong also wanted to search with everyone when he heard this, in fact, the abacus in his heart was to hurry back to the house to pack up and hide and want to sneak away, but at this moment, the prince had already seen his careful thoughts, pointed at Xu Zhong and said, "You stay."
Hearing this, Xu Zhong's body trembled, and he obediently knelt with this Lord Guo who was dying, his body trembled constantly, and his heart was full of resentment that Lord Guo had nothing to do and collided with the big man.
Lord Guo and Steward Xu Zhong knelt on the ground together, and General Si Kou watched them with a sword to prevent them from sneaking away.
After searching for about a cup of tea, "Tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that we have found a secret room. A small guard said. Then we can all atone for our sins. The little guard's face was sweaty, but after saying this, he felt a sense of the aftermath of the catastrophe in his heart.
Yun Sha and Cen Zhaohou followed the prince and them to the secret room. Push open the door of the secret room, except for a bed, the rest is full of treasures! Boxes of gold and silver ingots, rows and rows of antiques, the whole secret room was stuffed to the brim, stacked as high as a hill, and had a fight with the treasury.
The king of Wuxu was even more angry when he thought that his treasury was almost not as much as the money of this small county order. "Master Guo, what else do you have to say?"
When Lord Guo saw that he was exposed, he had to shout: "His Royal Highness the Prince, spare your life, the little one will not dare anymore, spare the villain this time." ”
But the king and the crown prince hated this kind of corrupt official the most, how could they let him go? The crown prince turned his head and motioned for General Si Kou to kill him. As soon as General Si Kou went down with his sword, Lord Guo's head and body were separated, and Xu Zhong, the housekeeper next to him, was so frightened that he fainted.
But what about the stolen money? Both the king and the crown prince of Wuxu were thinking.
"Your Majesty, Prince, what to do with these stolen money." General Si Kou asked.
"Tomorrow, we will give a part of the two taels of silver to each of the people in the town, and bring the rest of the money back to the treasury." General Sikou suggested.
The king was very pleased, "Okay, just do as General Si Kou said." ”
Early the next morning, the people knew that the big corrupt official in the town had been killed by them, and they could finally get rid of the clutches of this big corrupt official, and they could finally avenge their grievances. The people were very happy when they heard that it was His Royal Highness the Prince of Wuxu Kingdom, Wuxu Country did not die, and it was a blessing for Wuxu Country to have such a sensible prince.
The king was very relieved to see the happy faces of the people on the street, and this time he also saw the hearts of the prince, and this experience can make the prince a better king.
During this period of time, Yanjing held an annual selection of martial champions, and in the end, he was able to go through layers of screening and win the final victory was a person named Li Fang, who was tall and tall and looked very majestic.
Li Fang's family has been an official of the imperial court for generations, but it can be said that he was born in a famous family, and he still relied on his own efforts to become a martial champion, and did not choose to rely on the shadow of his family.
King Yan himself likes martial arts, plus after coming to Yanjing, there are no available people around, and there are a group of civil officials chattering over there, and his head is too big to quarrel, and he has a certain good impression of Li Fang, who is the champion of martial arts.
This is something he hasn't failed to show, in fact, all eyes have been put on him, hoping that he can become like he was back then.
King Yan appreciates Li Fang very much and feels that he is like himself back then. It just so happened that the position in Dali Temple was vacant before, and King Yan immediately asked him to take charge of Dali Temple, maintain law and order in Yanjing, and also cultivate his own people.
King Yan and Li Fang had a very happy conversation, Li Fang was also young, but he was very ambitious. And King Yan likes his character, he is very compatible with him, what to say, very favored.
Li Fang also eradicated many of the remnants of the former prime minister for King Yan, he did things vigorously and resolutely, and Dali Temple was also managed by him in an orderly manner. King Yan admires him very much that he is not for fame and fortune, but only chases the goals he wants to achieve, so that he can achieve the goals he wants, and when he sees the day when the world is peaceful, he can share so many obsessions in his heart.
One day, King Yan invited hundreds of officials to drink together, which was regarded as a reward for everyone's hard work during this time, and King Yan asked Li Fang's wishes during the banquet. Li Fang was also slightly drunk, picked up his wine glass to salute King Yan, and said in a low voice: "The minister wants to see the day when Yan Chiguo dominates the world." ”
Yan Wang was stunned when he heard this, the longer he sat in this position, maybe the desire would indeed be greater, "Li Fang, you drank too much." And then when he drank the wine, something began to take over his heart.
Through many searches, King Yan found a person named Mr. Dong in the Miao tribe, who was very good at witchcraft. King Yan asked Mr. Dong to help deal with the monsters in the secret room.
King Yan's heart is full of determination to conquer the world, a man's desire for power, his desire to dominate the world, and his desire to become the king of the world. One day, King Yan summoned Li Fang and planned to go with him to see his recent achievements.
And Wang Shouming has been neglected since King Yan had Li Fang.
King Yan took Li Fang to the apse of the palace, which was still heavily guarded.
After the guards at the door saw King Yan, they immediately knelt down and saluted. King Yan waved his hand, signaling that he didn't have to, and walked forward, but when he was about to enter the door, King Yan stopped at the door.
I saw that King Yan's face was gloomy, his brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be entangled in something. Li Fang whispered something into King Yan's ear. After a while, King Yan seemed to have figured out something, took a firm step, and stepped into the door.
Li Fang saw that the door was even darker, and then the lamp on the wall would give this dark space a little light. King Yan passed through one door after another. Finally stopped at a door full of charms, and the roar of a beast could be faintly heard in the room.
King Yan paused for a moment and pushed the door to enter. I saw a person wearing Miao costumes in the house, and when he saw King Yan coming in, he didn't mean to kneel, but just nodded. King Yan didn't feel rude, and nodded slightly, as a return gift.
The room was very dim and there was no light. There are also many large iron cages in the house. The iron cage exudes a cold and gloomy light. The roar of the beast inside the house was even more pronounced. It adds a sense of concentration and darkness to this dark room, giving people a cold and damp feeling.
King Yan waved his hand, and a guard walked forward, and King Yan said in a low voice, "Turn on all the lights." The guard nodded, and took out the fire fold and lit it at one lamp, and the light spread from one lamp to the other lamps, and finally all the lamps on the wall were lit.
The dim room became brighter, and now there seemed to be something in the cage, slowly rising with the light.
Yan Wang and Li Fang walked forward, as if they wanted to see the contents of the cage. He had just walked a few steps when suddenly, the creature in the cage flew towards Yan Wang and crashed into the cage with a loud bang. The chain around the neck is straight. The mouth also kept coming out of the low roar of the beast.
Li Fang seemed to be a little frightened, and didn't stop until he was in front of the cage. The caged object slowly revealed. Humanoid, wearing tattered palace clothes, but very thin, there seems to be some blood on his face, a mouth that is about to crack, and his teeth have become very sharp.
