While Kang Long was busy cleaning up the ruffian bullies, dozens of local officials were gathering outside Zhangye City, waiting for the Dadu escort to drive. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the surface, everyone is very calm, but in fact, there is an undercurrent surging.

In the greeting procession, someone suddenly paced to Wang Taishou's side and asked in a low voice: "Fujun, why hasn't Dadu Hu arrived yet?" ”

Wang Taishou looked up at the sky calmly, and said indifferently: "What's the hurry?" It's still early. ”

"Isn't the lower official worried about accidents?"

"Accidents? Hmph, Zhangye is managed by us like a tietong, what accidents can happen? ”

"What the prince said is very true, you must not mess with yourself."

When several officials next to him heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

Don't look at Wang Taishou's confident appearance, in fact, his heart is not as calm as he seems.

Somehow, there was always a dark cloud lingering in his heart.

However, he can't afford to retreat half a step now, and with what he has done over the years, he has to be exiled to the edge of Yin Mountain at the least.

As soon as everyone finished speaking, there was a roar in their ears, and then the ground also shook.

I saw that the sky was full of dust in the distance, and at the horizon, a long black line appeared first, slowly approaching the city gate.

The officials were shocked and hurriedly stood up.

When they got closer, everyone looked at it again, and it was actually a cavalry.

The leader is holding a flagpole, and the sun and moon battle flags are flying high in the wind.

This cavalry is about more than 1,000 people, and the riders are each dressed in black armor, and the momentum is like a rainbow, which is obviously a rare force.

……

Affected by the Wei'an riots, Wei Shuo had more than twice as many guards around him as usual, and more than 1,000 guards guarded the entire team tightly.

Munxun rode his horse and followed to the left side of the carriage.

On the carriage, Liu Muzhi was discussing with Wei Shuo how to solve Zhangye officialdom at the lowest cost.

He hesitated for a moment, and said quite worriedly: "My lord, will it cause turmoil if you uproot Zhangye officialdom all of a sudden?" ”

In this regard, Wei Shuo said disapprerovingly: "Dao and worry, there will definitely be an impact, but it will not hurt the muscles and bones." ”

"At present, Zhangye's officialdom is rotten, and only by sweeping it away with the power of thunder can it be reinvigorated."

"Also, there's one thing you're overlooking ......"

"What?" Liu Muzhi asked curiously.

"The purpose of this big fanfare tour of the west is to rectify the rule of officials."

"If you don't handle one or two big cases that cause a sensation inside and outside, how can you deter Xiaoxiao?"

"It seems that the lord treats Zhang Ye as a monkey chicken."

"Yes, yes."

……

Gradually, the convoy got closer and closer to the city gate, and there was a thick aura up and down.

And this breath even infected the local officials in Zhangye, making them feel breathless.

Herod~! Thousands of guards seemed to have been carved out of a mold, and they all stopped in front of everyone.

The Zhangye officials led by Wang Taishou did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly trotted to Wei Shuo's car and bowed to salute.

"Zhangye County Guard, Wang Desheng, welcomes the protector of the capital."

"Ministers welcome the capital."

"Most of the guards have orders, and the convoy will enter the city first and enter the government for resettlement, and the officials will accompany them."

After Liu Muzhi finished ordering everyone, he didn't wait for everyone to react, put down the curtain and retracted it.

At that moment, the guards opened the road, and where the carriage passed, the people who came to watch were crowded along the way.

The convoy continued to move forward until it came to a stop in front of the county guard's gate.

At this time, Kang Long had already taken over the entire Taishou Mansion, and the periphery was also crowded with people.

"Something seems wrong......"

Looking at Kang Long, who suddenly appeared, the corners of Wang Desheng's eyes couldn't help but jump.

What does that mean? Why don't most of the guards even see the local officials? Also When did Kang Long enter the city?

Most of the guards never like to put on the score, why did they put up a shelf this time?

If you don't play cards according to common sense, is there something missing? ”

Wang Desheng thought about it for a long time and didn't think it clearly, and the other officials were also confused, waiting for Dadu Hu to reveal the mystery in a daze.

At this time, Kang Long stepped forward and came to Weishuo's carriage.

"The last general was ordered to pick up the old man and came to restore his life."

"Have you ever received it?"

"I received it, but it was ......"

"But what?"

"When the last general went, I happened to see someone beating the old man and grandson."

"This person claims to be the son of Wang Taishou, so he has to let Niu Laohan compensate him for some puppy."

"But according to the general's investigation, this is a deliberate blackmail of the old man."

As soon as he heard this, Wang Desheng was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing and denying it.

"Most of the protectors of Mingjian, the son of the minister has been virtuous since he was a child, and he will never do such an evil thing, someone must have deliberately framed him."

"Hmph, according to your intentions, it was the Kang Da guards who wronged your son?"

"No, no, no, that's not what the minister meant."

"Lord Wang doesn't need to quibble anymore, the last general has already interrogated just now, and your son has recruited everything."

"Not long ago, your son accepted the 10,000 silver tickets from Xiaogu County, isn't it just to help him arrest Old Niu?"

"The minister bears the trust of the lord and the public, shepherds the side, and never dares to slack off on political affairs."

"I don't want to be busy with official business, but I neglect to discipline my family, and today I know that this rebel son has done something that violates the law."

At this time, Wang Taishou was already paralyzed on the ground, crying incessantly that he really didn't know.

Wei Shuo ignored the other party's ugly face, threw a piece of paper directly from the car, and threw it in front of Wang Desheng.

Wang Taishou hurriedly picked it up, opened it and saw that it had completely collapsed, and what was recorded on it was the facts of his crimes over the years.

"Shuo has long said that officials in various localities should do their best to govern the country, and should not make arrangements with each other and violate laws and disciplines."

"But it's better for you to let your son make friends if you don't make friends."

"Now that the crime has been revealed, but he has pushed it clean, claiming that he has no knowledge, do you take Pontus for a fool?"

"Shuo Pingsheng hated officials for corruption and bribery the most, and now he dares to risk the world's greatness and take bribes, which is really hateful."

"What's even more hateful is that your son Wang Shang is relying on Er as a local parent official, oppressing the people, and doing all kinds of evil."

"Today, the capital guards the patrol of the place, inspects the lawbreakers, and just eliminates the harm for the people!"

"Fellow villagers, no matter what grievances you have, even if you come, I will protect you as the master."

Originally, the people hated Wang's father and son for a long time, but because the other party covered the sky with one hand, there was nowhere to redress their grievances.

Seeing that most of the protectors were in charge in person, they stepped forward one after another to complain about their grievances.

Some people say that Wang Shang relied on Lao Tzu's official authority, and acted as a prestige everywhere to oppress the people.

Others say that the government cleverly set up a name and set up private taxes, forcing the people into desperation and selling grain fields at a low price.

In addition, there are other crimes such as robbing people's daughters, indiscriminately killing innocents, and occupying fields.

Wei Shuo first asked Liu Mu to record them one by one, and promised in public that the Wang father and son would be tried publicly in a few days and the people would be given justice.

……

A few days later, Wei Shuo was personally promoted to the court, and because of the detailed evidence of the witnesses, he quickly asked about the case.

Next, the accompanying imperial history found out that the Zhangye government had falsely reported its income and fabricated the book.

In order to make money, Wang Taishou colluded with the officials under his rule and increased taxes without authorization.

Wei Shuo immediately ordered the guards to put all the officials involved in the case in prison, and after review, report to the newly established Dali Temple for conviction.

Several fierce guards couldn't help but come up and drag the prisoner down.

At this time, some officials were so frightened that they could not even cry out for mercy.

Except for a few people who inevitably feel a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, most of the upright officials, including the common people, feel that these people deserve their crimes.

After Wei Shuo dealt with the matter, he said to everyone at the scene: "Whether the officials are clear or not is a matter of people's hearts, Shuo must not let the corrupt officials chill the hearts of the people, and the Supervision Department must verify the local officials as soon as possible, and strive to let the officials rule the Qingming in a short time." ”

"I hope that within a year, the atmosphere of Hexi officialdom will change, and at the same time, the efficiency of officialdom will be greatly improved."

"Shuo is a person with clear rewards and punishments, if he is an official and does things in the name of the people, he thinks about the urgent needs of the people, no matter what conditions he proposes, I will accept it."

"However, if there are officials who seem to be Zhangye, they will be severely punished."

Next, Wei Shuo stationed in Zhangye, and guarded the palace in parallel, urging the official Cao to send cadres to come as soon as possible, and before that, Liu Muzhi was in charge of government affairs.

For several days in a row, Wei Shuo was examining officials, weeding out the black sheep, rectifying the order of the yamen, compiling and compiling records, and purging more than a dozen unqualified officials before and after.

In addition to handling political affairs, Wei Shuo also chatted with Zhou Dingcheng and found that he was quite talented.

Out of love for talent, he wanted to promote this young man to work in the inspectorate.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Dingcheng said that he was unwilling to enter the official.

He admired Tao Qian, who asked for his life alone, and expressed his willingness to work in the newspaper after his studies.

Wei Shuo thought about it carefully, and felt that it seemed better to let Zhou Dingcheng go to the newspaper to help Tao Qian, so he no longer insisted on letting the other party be an official.
