Chapter Seventy-Five: Sitting in Licheng
After the Praetorian Guards left, Jin Lang would stand in place, looking around, and suddenly his eyes froze, and not far from the border, he found multiple corpses. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 After a long moment, a soft sigh came from his mouth.
"Alas......"
An hour later, Wen Bin and the others returned to Licheng, and when they passed through the city gate, many reserve soldiers looked at the Praetorian Guards with fearful eyes. Wen Bin chose to turn a blind eye to these eyes, and just ran straight towards the city.
This is the second time Wen Bin has come to Licheng, whether it is his mood or perception, it is completely different from the last time! When he first arrived in Licheng, Wen Bin came with a heavy responsibility, and he entered Licheng with hatred, hope, and dazedness, and this time he entered the city, everything was very different.
In the palace, people come and go, and it seems to be the same as before, but if you look closely, you will find that most of these people are heavily armed Praetorian Guard soldiers.
There is an open space in the courtyard, which is now full of large and small boxes, like a small mountain, Rao is like this, and many more boxes are being delivered one after another. Thirty soldiers are counting the stolen goods one by one, in groups of three, who are responsible for counting, bookkeeping, and supervision.
When Wen Bin came to the mansion and saw the scene in front of him, he really hated it! In a mere place, there are so many belongings that are greedy for ink by those moths, this group of corrupt officials really deserve to be killed!
At this moment, Team Liu of the Praetorian Guard came over and said respectfully: "Team Zheng Liu Shengshan, I have seen Wenhou!" ”
"What's going on now?"
"Returning to Wenhou! Except for Bai Zongwu, all the people on the list were arrested, and none of them escaped! Team Liu was standing up straight, holding his head high, and said loudly.
"Well done! Where are they now? ”
"All the criminals are in prison, and their families are under the centralized care of the Praetorian Guard!"
"After the inventory of these stolen goods is completed, they will be placed in a safe place, and they need to be heavily guarded, and there is no room for loss! Also, have the books been found? ”
"Returning to Wenhou! The account books, dark accounts and other types of account books have all been found, and they have not been lost! Now it is placed in a centralized place, under the care of five brothers, please rest assured! ”
Hearing this, Wen Bin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, his originally cold face finally had a smile, and the big stone in his heart finally landed. Although the first offender was allowed to run away, at least the Lizhou officialdom has been cleared!
In fact, not only Wen Bin breathed a sigh of relief, but Huang Langjiang was also the same! At this time, Huang Lang turned around, faced Wen Bin and said, "Please Wen Hou take a break!" I'll leave it to the last general first! ”
"Good! Hard work Huang Lang will be! Another thing, you should quickly arrange for people to post notices all over the city to reassure the people! ”
"Order!"
Hearing the answer, Wen Bin nodded, and then took a step into the distance, passing by those large and small boxes, he stopped and looked at them for a moment, and then shook his head and continued to walk forward.
Wen Bin didn't go far before he ran into Zeng Chen and Liu Jun head-on. As soon as the two men entered the palace, they searched for a place to live, and finally, under the guidance of the officials, they finally found a quiet place to live.
In the evening, after a day of turmoil, it has gradually subsided, both in the government and in the people. Next, just wait for the officials of Langyue Erzhou to take over the local government affairs, although it is an expedient measure, it is much better than Wen Bin's direct management.
Wen Bin has never been in charge of state affairs, and he is completely blind to all government affairs, and there is no one under his command to use. If Wen Bin is really directly in charge, it is estimated that within a few days, the entire Lizhou will fall into a state of chaos. It was for this reason that Wen Bin sent officials from Langyue and Erzhou to temporarily take over government affairs.
When these officials arrive, it is believed that the situation can be stabilized quickly until the new officials take office. I hope that by then, the officialdom of Lizhou can change the atmosphere of the past!
After Wen Bin met Zeng and Liu, he came to a residence under the leadership of the two of them. To be honest, Wen Bin did feel very tired, so he didn't say anything more, and walked straight to the back room. As soon as his body reached the bed, he fell into a deep sleep. This night, Wen Bin slept very sweetly.
By the time Wen Bin woke up from his sleep, it was already evening. At this time, the light in the room was already dim, seeing this scene, Wen Bin immediately sat up, then stepped off the bed and walked towards the hall.
As soon as he came to the hall, Wen Bin shouted loudly outside the house: "Zeng Chen! Liu Jun! ”
"What does Wen Hou command?" Zeng Chen entered in response and said at the same time.
"What time is it?"
"Wait for the wait! It's time to do it right away! ”
Hearing what Zeng Chen said, Wen Bin immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that he had slept too much! After a while, Wen Bin walked towards the main seat, and said as he walked: "Go and find Huang Langjiang!" Ben Hou has something to discuss! ”
"Yes!" After speaking, Zeng Chen turned around and left, walking briskly into the distance.
A moment later, Huang Lang will come as scheduled, come to Wen Bin, he hugged his fists, and said, "The last general has seen Wen Hou!" ”
"Huang Lang General! Have a seat! ”
"Thanks! Wen Hou! ”
As soon as the words fell, Huang Lang took a step forward, first handing the paper in his hand to Wen Bin, and then taking a few steps back and sitting down. Wen Bin looked at the paper in front of him, he didn't say anything for a long time, and as a string of numbers jumped into his eyes, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and a roar rang out.
"These brutes! They deserve to be killed for so much money! ”
"Wen Hou is angry! In the end, there are also the confessions of corrupt officials and corrupt officials. ”
"Give it to me!"
"Order!" After speaking, Huang Lang shouted loudly outside the door: "Wei Hai! In! ”
A soldier, in response, walked straight up to Wen Bin with a wad of papers in his hands, and said respectfully: "Please check Wen Hou!" ”
This piece of paper represents an official, and as many pieces of paper as there are officials, there are as many officials as there are arrested. Wen Bin looked at the thick pile of paper in a daze, and couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine for a while! This is just a corner, if other state capitals are like this, then can Da Chu still be saved?
Although Wen Bin has long known that there are many corrupt officials in Lizhou and knows who they are from the list, when this confession is handed in front of him, he is still inevitably impacted! The feeling of being a little proud because of the purging of Lizhou officialdom completely disappeared at this moment.
After a while, Wen Bin picked up a confession at random, lowered his head and read it carefully, and after the confession was finished, he picked up the next one. After reading five confessions in a row, Wen Bin waved his hand and motioned for the Praetorian Guard soldiers to retreat. For these cookie-cutter confessions, Wen Bin really didn't want to spend energy to check them.
At this moment, in the hall, Wen Bin and Huang Lang were all silent, and the two of them were thinking about their own thoughts. In the dim light, the faces of the two were cloudy. After a long time, Wen Bin looked at Huang Langjiang, and a hoarse voice followed.
"Huang Lang General! What do you think about this? ”
"We and other people in the army, for the sake of the people of Li, defend the country, resist the invasion of foreign enemies, and swear to defend the prestige of our Great Chu! But these moths, what are they doing? Filling his own pockets, regardless of the life and death of the people, wantonly looting the people's fat and people's ointment, this is to disintegrate my Dachu from the inside! Hateful! Killable! ”
After saying this, Huang Lang stood up, then turned to face Wen Bin, hugged his fists, and said loudly: "Wen Hou is the pillar of the country!" On behalf of the people of Limin, the last general hereby implores Wenhou, hoping to return my great Chu Lang Qingtian in the future! ”
