The most basic yamen in the local area, the registered officials are nothing more than the county magistrate, the county prince, and the master, and the only one who can get out of the patrol house is the head catcher himself.

Originally, the work of maintaining law and order and arresting prisoners was the responsibility of these arresters and officials, but before Wang Zheng left Dengzhou, there was nothing left of the imperial court's salary.

Mo said that those low-level catchers and servants, even the head catchers are poor and are about to be pants, and they have been relying on the county magistrate to grab money bags everywhere to barely make a living.

However, the silver is not something that can be caught casually, and the county is also distressed when it is spent, so the officials and the fast catcher can't raise too much, about dozens of people, just be able to barely subdue the inside of the county, and let it go outside.

The local inspection department is very rich, and those inspections all have hundreds of salt dogs in their hands, and the county government and the inspection department are originally a situation of mutual help.

But no one expected that since the new inspection of Dengzhou Mansion was appointed, everything has become very different, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, Denglai and Denglai have walked out of a soldier called Dengzhou Battalion, and the miscellaneous general soldier headed by him is called Wang Zheng.

At present, the Dengzhou battalion has become a climate, reorganized into the Shandong Army, and even made great contributions, and even the current emperor has given the military name "Mingwei Army", which is the only family in Shandong.

Originally, the county government was taking care of these things in the collection of taxes, but now the Shandong army controls the entire six prefectures in Shandong, and a thing called the Military Council Department has followed up to take over the government affairs of Shandong, and the county magistrates have become empty shelves, and they have nothing else to do except being raised in their own yards to drink tea and watch dramas all day long.

Since Wang Zheng guarded Shandong, there have been very few small disturbances, and there are basically no major disturbances, and even a thief who steals in the local area cannot be seen, which is a change every day.

Speaking of which, these magistrates have nothing to cry about, aren't these days much stronger than before, no longer have to be scared all day long, just eat, drink, have fun, marry a wife and have a son, don't worry about anything.

Besides, even the three political divisions of the imperial court have become empty shelves, and Li Yan of the Left Army is the real political envoy, and the difference is just a name on the face of an official, and those original provincial officials have not said anything, so what do they have to complain about.

In the long run, in January of the 15th year of Chongzhen, the leading power of local public security and government affairs has completely fallen into the hands of the Department of Security and the Department of Military Affairs, that is, the institutions that really speak and manage affairs in Shandong today.

This time, the loyal and martyred king was furious, and issued a military order with a murderous intent, and the local salters did not dare to slack off, so they naturally took over the whole thing.

They have not yet become regular soldiers registered in the imperial court, and even if they kill people under any name, they cannot be traced.

Speaking of which, in addition to Wang Zheng, there are two behemoths in Shandong at present, one of which is the Lu Wangfu in Rongyang City, Wengzhou Mansion, and the Confucian Mansion in Qufu.

Zhu Yipai, the third son of Su King Zhu Shouyong, is the tenth king of Lu, the king of the Ming clan of the Eight Classics, Chongzhen was enthroned in the thirteenth year, and his reign was just two years.

As for Confucius, it is the desire of the world's corporans, if anyone dares to move a single hair without opening their eyes, it will inevitably end up in a catastrophe and the world will abandon it.

As a loyal martyr, Wang Zheng, the governor of Zuodu, although he is already in power, still respects the Ming court on the surface, and neither respects Confucius and King Lu, nor does he force each other too much.

For a long time, everyone has been sweeping the snow in front of their doors, so there is no whisper.

Since Wang Zheng's military order came down, the entire six prefectures of Shandong have completely fallen into a state of panic.

However, this kind of panic is not the kind in the ordinary sense, it is only aimed at the civil officials of the imperial court and those who have two hearts.

For ordinary soldiers and civilians, the Shandong army has arrested those court officials who can only play tricks, and it is too late to be happy, so how can they say anything else.

Taking advantage of this large-scale arrest of officials, the Shandong army took advantage of the situation to conduct a new inspection in the six prefectures, and the regular soldiers took the papers, from the big city to the small city, door to door, and once they found any unidentified person, they immediately grasped the prison and interrogated them strictly.

This kind of thunderous means can also play the role of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, and forcibly let those wealthy families and officials who are not in harmony with the Shandong army stand in line again, and those who do not obey can make him disappear by finding a name at will.

Compared with the slightly softer methods of the regular soldiers, the Yanding and the Zhuang guards are very arrogant, often rampage into the mansions of those impeached officials, and start taking people without asking questions.

If the resistance is fierce, you may even accidentally kill some official in a certain place.

The civil officials and military generals in the six provinces of Shandong, who were originally loyal to the imperial court in their hearts, saw Wang Zheng mercilessly killing people, and they were terrified to the extreme.

Those salt Ding Pingsu are the righteous messengers of maintaining law and order in front of the people, and they are simply tigers and wolves in front of these people, who have complaints about the Shandong army and have opinions on the Zhonglie Bowang Zheng, Fan Ruohai's salt gang and Hao Dongjia's side will know more or less.

The salters used trumped-up charges to hold these lists one by one, whether they were absconding, resisting arrest or waiting for death, they all disappeared from the public eye one after another in order.

During this time, those killed in the name of justice were still lucky, and many of them were killed for no reason, or died suddenly without warning on a dark and windy night.

Because of Wang's policy of contending to gather and cultivate farms, the poor people basically have a stable life and income, and they can already have the most basic food and clothing every day, but those rich and noble families, such as retired officials and famous scholars, and local wealthy gentry, are different, and they are the targets of the Shandong army's investigation this time.

Every day in the six prefectures of Shandong, officials are killed in the open and in the dark, and many wealthy families have also suffered from the pond fish.

There is a place where the wealthy people resist arrest fiercely, and rushing in will damage a lot of people, and the local salt Ding can not rush hard, for this reason, the Shandong army even dispatched a whole battalion of regular soldiers, directly with artillery to raze the whole house to the ground.

When the news came out, almost everyone who knew that they had made a mistake broke out in a cold sweat.

Under the all-out investigation of the Shandong army, almost every civil and military official of the imperial court, every local wealthy family, and the kind of crimes that are enough to kill can be listed.

Think about it, in this kind of disaster year when the people can't even eat, officials and wealthy families can still continue to accumulate wealth, and that kind of means will naturally not see the light.

It is true that the Shandong army is a strong dragon, but the head snake is also working hard for this strong dragon, which is completely free of any capital for confrontation, in order to survive, those who know that they have committed something have to give in, and no longer dare to have any wrong thoughts.

It didn't take long for snowflake-like letters to be delivered to Licheng.

The message expressed in these letters was surprisingly consistent, either bowing their heads and admitting their mistakes, saying that they would obey the words of the martyrs from now on, or they were willing to sacrifice their wealth and land to pray for their lives.

However, there are always some strange things in everything, and there are really a very few people who can't find out any black records at all, and these people feel that there is no fault, and they all look fearless.

However, under Li Yan's suggestion to Wang Zheng, there was no good fruit to eat.

After living for so long, even if you don't leak a drop of water and don't have the slightest handle, what about your sons, your wife and those concubines, and the servants below, there will be no mistakes at all, right?

If so, that's fine.

The people of the Military Council Department have learned the skills of those officials in the court, as long as the slightest handle is caught, they can immediately carry it forward for you, and contact you from all over the world, and finally say that it is like a heinous sinner.

These people also understand from the bottom of their hearts that although this crime is made up randomly, whether it can be established or not depends entirely on the meaning of the yamen of the governor of Shandong and the yamen of the three divisions.

But then again, it depends on whose meaning these places are, and it is not a matter of fighting for a word by the loyal martyr king who killed a thousand swords.
