Li Haoxian came to the mansion in despair, and a group of people instantly surrounded him, I don't know why the always mighty Duke Qi Guogong is like this.

"Call me Chen Xinliang"

The subordinates didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to the guest room to call Chen Xinliang over, and the latter's eyes were dodgy.

Originally, he was also a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and he wanted Li Haoxian to come forward to protect his father. This is also a helpless move, Chen Xinliang himself did not expect that the dignified Qi Kingdom Guild would defend his father so much.

Li Haoxian was born in a wealthy family in Shandong, is the first tyrant in Dengzhou, the most righteous in his life, the habits of the big brother in the rivers and lakes make him very popular in the army, full of personal charm, but also developed many bad problems.

Protecting the short is one of them.

When Chen Xinliang saw his appearance, he had already guessed in his heart, and immediately poured beans into the bamboo tube and told all the things. Since Chen Mingjie became the prefect in the state capital, he was slowly corrupted by the local gentry with wealth, colluded with the local wealthy Zhou family, and cleverly set up a name to loot the people's fat and cream. forcibly robbed the people's daughter, but this woman's family was a fierce child, and they would rather die than be humiliated, and the whole family of the victim hanged themselves.

The teacup in Li Haoxian's hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and then he understood why the emperor was so angry, he was stunned and muttered: "Xiao Chenzi, you will make me miserable now"

In the Forbidden City, six scholars and three scholars gathered in Nuanfang Pavilion, and everyone held their breath, all looking sideways at His Majesty.

The emperor's face was pale, his eyebrows flew into his sideburns, and his face sank like water.

"The people are easy to abuse, the heavens are difficult to bully, I support the honest with a high salary, I thought that the officials could understand my hard work, who knows that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and there is no end to greed. Since the founding of the country, the law has been lenient, causing many people to ignore the law and discipline, do evil, and harm one party. Let's take a look at today's officialdom, how many ghosts and ghosts have been covered up under the grandeur, and how many bones have died unjustly in the court.

I defeated a brutal court and overthrew a dark and chaotic dynasty, and it was definitely not for the sake of being such a person and building such an empire.

Zeng Heng, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, should come to see me. ”

All the important ministers did not dare to breathe, since the first year of Jing You, the court has been smooth, and it has been a long time since I have seen His Majesty's face.

Zeng Hengying was still sulking at home, and his wife was chattering beside him, blaming him for not angering the Duke of Qi.

"What kind of person is the Duke of Qi Guo, that is the henchman of His Majesty's henchmen, when there is no one who knows that the Duke of Qi is the first person except for the saint. Master, how can you drive him away, and say such ugly things... Alas, how good is that. ”

Mrs. Zeng was anxious, but Zeng Hengying made a straight face and reprimanded: "Women, what do you know, don't shut up yet!" I'm sitting upright, and my subordinates have found out corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and I want to cover for them? Our Zeng family has been an official for generations, and there has never been such a person. If you're afraid that I'll hurt you, go back to your parents' house as soon as possible to avoid trouble. ”

Mrs. Zeng was heartbroken and hid her face and left, Zeng Hengying also knew that her mouth was heavy for a while, and although she regretted it, she refused to put down her body to apologize.

At this time, Menzi hurriedly came over and said, "Master, someone from the palace is here, and the old man is like a palace saint." ”

Zeng Hengying chuckled in his heart, only thinking that Li Haoxian had gone to slander and harm himself, Zeng Hengying, who was heroic, packed up his official robe, flicked his sleeves and carried his hands behind his back, paced outside the mansion, and said to the little eunuch who came to announce the decree: "Let's go." ”

----

In the Nuanfang Pavilion, Zeng Hengying came to the palace with a heroic and righteous appearance.

When Hou Xuanyan saw him like this, he was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, and scolded with a smile: "It's not "Lu Zhailang" that is being staged today, and you don't have to pretend to be Qingtian, I just asked you how many imperial histories there are in the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and all of them will be sent out by me." ”

Zeng Hengying instantly understood what was going on, his heart was stirring, tears were in his eyes, and he knelt down and said: "Your Majesty Shengming is a Ming Jun who has not been seen for eternity. ”

"Every county, every province, every province, must be thoroughly investigated. I'll dig them out if there's a moth, and if the building is hollowed out, I don't mind changing the beams!

Zhao Yuanhua! ”

"The Minister"

"The Criminal Department, together with the Hidden Elephant Battalion, assists the Metropolitan Procuratorate in handling cases, and during this period, all branches of the Hidden Elephant Battalion across the country can be mobilized."

Zhao Yuanhua raised his eyelids, lowered his head and led the order, the knife of the Hidden Elephant Camp has not been used since the founding of the country, His Majesty pulled it out of its scabbard again, and the last time it was about the rumor case of King Jing.

A little eunuch hurried over and whispered a few words to Xiao Lizi, who was waiting outside the door, and the latter frowned and said, "You should retreat first." ”

When he entered the room, he saw that Hou Xuanyan was fine, so he said, "Your Majesty, the Duke of Qi asks to see you." ”

"Nope! Let him fuck off. ”

Qi Guogong has a good reputation among high-ranking officials, and his popularity is especially good, and these officials have all risen up to intercede for him since Chen Mingyu.

Hou Xuanyan snorted coldly: "Let him get in." ”

Li Haoxian's face was ashamed, he entered the hall, knelt on his knees, and said on the ground: "Your Majesty, the criminal minister Li Haoxian, listened to the villain's slanderous rumors, corrupted the country's law and order, and petitioned to be punished." ”

Hou Xuanyan looked at him and asked, "Slander?" What does that mean, let's hear it. ”

As soon as Li Haoxian said his words, there was no trace of concealment from beginning to end, Hou Xuanyan's face was a little pale, and his anger did not disappear: "You are really righteous, it is better to go back to your Dengzhou and continue to be a big brother in the rivers and lakes." ”

"Your Majesty is angry, as long as you say a word, Weichen is willing to resign and go to the lord and return to his hometown to cultivate the fields."

Hou Xuanyan was angry, and said, "Phew, what's wrong with you being reasonable?" ”

"I don't dare."

Hou Xuanyan squinted his eyes and said: "Everyone in the world knows that the Duke of Qi is my cronies, and he is called a monarch and a minister, and he is like a brother. In this anti-corruption campaign, I will use you to warn the world that no one can go unpunished, are you willing? ”

Li Haoxian lowered his head and said in a condensed voice: "Weichen knows that he is guilty, even if His Majesty punishes him, if he can make a modest contribution, he can also make up for the minister's guilt a little." ”

Hou Xuanyan walked to the hall, pulled Li Haoxian up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Old Li, help me again." ”

In August of the first year of the hunt, the autumn is crisp and sunny, and the clear sky is extraordinarily lofty. In the sassy west wind, the Duke of Qi Guo, who was a product of the dynasty, was stripped of his shirt and whipped ten times in the downtown of Jinling.

The world is shaking!

When the news spread, it was only because he tried to intercede for a corrupt official, and then the newspaper published an edict from the Holy Lord, urging the people of all parts of the country to cooperate with the Metropolitan Procuratorate in handling the case, actively petition and report, and help the court punish the corrupt official.

The Duke of Qi was punished, and he no longer doubted the punishment of the imperial court, and for a time everyone was in danger of harming the people, corrupt officials and evil officials.
