Hearing that today is going to disperse, the people are still a little reluctant, but they have no choice but to go home one by one, but they are extremely excited, and they are talking to each other all the way.

And those officials who were being interrogated on the one side finally breathed a sigh of relief, this day was even more torturous for them than a year, especially every time a citizen went up to testify, their hearts were violently shaken, and two weak officials were not beheaded but were scared to death.

There is no one who is not afraid, after all, the really penniless Qing officials in this era are completely rare, and even if there is, they are excluded by everyone and cannot do things well, before that Confucius Zhang Yi was already a good official, but he was by no means incorruptible, although he did not take the initiative to blackmail others, but the good-looking money sent by others and all kinds of benefits were also silently accepted.

Du Jia is very open to this, he will never think like some extremists that being an official should be dedicated to the people, even if he is hungry, he has to worry about whether the people can eat, and he is bare-chested and worried about whether the people can wear clothes, such officials may have, but they should never advocate it, otherwise normal people who still want to be officials, then it is better to be happy as ordinary people.

Therefore, honesty is definitely not the most important criterion for him to consider officials - as long as he is not overly greedy, the most important thing is that he should show his value, do more good things for the people or make more money for the country, if he can do this, what does it matter to reward him more?

Otherwise, even if he is extremely incorruptible and doesn't take a penny of extra money, but he is incapable, and the people under his rule are poor and unable to survive, what use can such an official be except to take out a moral example?

To sum it up in one sentence, that is, Du Jianing is willing to have the ability but some greedy officials, and don't have no ability to just be honest officials, of course, this greed can't be excessive, you create 10,000 yuan of wealth and come out and you are greedy for 20,000 yuan when you turn around, such an official is even more misguided, so today he also intends to kill a group of the most excessive in public, that is, to give these people a warning, let them know that there must be a limit to doing things!

At this time, Du Jia ordered a meal, so that the army could rest in this city for another night today, and officially open the warehouse tomorrow to release grain, and then leave this Heze Mansion.

Of course, Du Jia didn't plan to go back to Liangshan immediately, he still had some things to arrange, and now that the most difficult Heze Mansion had been taken down by himself, how could he be satisfied with just taking the things in this city and leaving? Naturally, the surrounding five counties and dozens of townships can't be let go in vain, and they naturally have to make a lot of money when they take so many troops down the mountain, so that they can be surprised.

After the meal, he called Shi Qian to give a few words, Shi Qian immediately received the order, Du Jia's order to him was actually very simple, that is, to send someone to send a letter to the officials of these townships and counties, asking them to take out a certain amount of money and grain, otherwise the Liangshan army would come to collect it in person, and the amount to be taken at that time would not be this number.

Du Jia didn't want much, only 3,000 yuan per county, only 1,000 yuan per township, and there was no silver money to replace it with grain, wine, meat, or anything, anyway, what he got from Heze Mansion had already exceeded the 12,000 taels of silver agreed with Song Jiang before going down the mountain, and now it was just icing on the cake.

Because he doesn't want to hurt the vitality of these places, to be honest, Du Jia has already been regarded as his own territory here, but he is just temporarily letting the imperial court manage it for him, after all, Liangshan is on the boundary of Qingzhou, if he wants to lead the cottage out of the country in the future, the first step is to take this Qingzhou city first, just like the other three thieves, it is precisely because they each occupy at least half of the state that they will be recognized by the imperial court.

Among them, Fang La occupies Yangzhou, Tian Hu occupies Jizhou, and Wang Qing is Yongzhou, and Du Jia's goal is naturally this Qingzhou!

So in the future, this Heze Mansion will also be under his rule, if the destruction is too bad, it will not be good, just like you see which farmer will dig and mess around in his own field, this is his life, and it is too late to protect it.

Moreover, the letters sent by Du Jia were stamped with the seal of Liu Wanchun, the prefect of Heze Mansion, so that they understood that Heze Mansion was now in his hands, and he didn't want much - any rich man could take it, so he felt that the officials in these places should not refuse, and everyone would be happy when the time came.

Who knows that there are really people who don't believe in evil, the next day Du Jia took half of the grain in Heze Mansion and distributed it to the people of the city, and took the money and goods copied from the homes of Liu Wanchun and the dead corrupt officials, and the army left Heze Mansion in a mighty way, and found a vacant place to wait for the response of the rest of the townships and counties.

In less than a day, those places responded, except for Yuncheng County and Shi Wenbin, who had already agreed not to count, the remaining four counties and more than 20 townships all honestly sent things over, most of which were cash, and a few were replaced by grain.

But Du Jia also smiled, what he cared about was not this thing, but this respectful attitude, and the donkey meat was also good, as the saying goes, dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground, in fact, this is also a rare delicacy, Du Jia was a little surprised, so not only did he not blame the frightened messenger, but also praised him a few words, rewarded him with the usual money, which made the man excited to kowtow again and again.

But only Dafeng Township not only did not send anything, but on the contrary, he also sent a letter with extremely strong wording, saying that their gang of thieves Kou Xiu wanted to take a penny from them, and if they didn't come to crusade against them, they would dare to extort things from them? If you have the guts, let the horse come.

After reading the letter, everyone couldn't help but be furious, in the past few days, they have conquered Yuncheng County and Heze Mansion in a row, it is when they are complacent, it is unbearable to see a small village dare to resist, Qin Ming was the first to jump out and shouted: "Jia Shao, let me go, I just need to take the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and I will not step on this bullshit Dafeng Township within three days, and I am willing to engage in military law!" ”

Li Kui immediately jumped out and said dissatisfied: "I said Brother Qin, since you came down the mountain, you have always been the pioneer and took the lead, this time it is my turn, right?" Besides, it's just a village, and it's not worth the Ma army, so it's enough for me to take my hundreds of infantry brethren, and if I can't take it for a day, I'll come to see you. ”

The collection has stopped, if you think the clumsy work is acceptable, can you recommend one or two to your brothers and friends? Please
