Wen Chengfang stepped out of the restaurant, his face was very ugly, and he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, he was not uncomfortable because he was removed by Yue Shao'an, but mainly because he felt that he had failed the trust of the handsome, and he felt very guilty in his heart.

He took a deep breath and resolved not to care about these things, and let the storm come! Wen Chengfang called the sergeant to bring the war horse, and after jumping up, he went straight to the city defense construction site.

Not long after Wen Chengfang left, Zhuo Yan rushed over, wrapped in black, expressionless, walking on the road, the sergeant in front of the building automatically got out of the way, although Zhuo Yan's temperament is actually not so cold, however, since Yue Shao'an entered the city, Zhuo Yan is in charge of punishment and intelligence, and when asking and extorting confessions, the means are inevitably a little cruel, therefore, even if he is not cold, wherever he goes, people who know him will naturally have a cold feeling.

This kind of emotion is even stronger among the lower-level generals and ordinary sergeants, in private, in the word of mouth of the sergeants, Zhuo Yan's image is even more cold, but fortunately, what Zhuo Yan did, although the means were cruel, but everything was for the people of Yue Shao'an in the West Daying, so his image was still very positive, but no one dared to approach him.

Watching Zhuo Yan slowly enter the restaurant, all the people were very tacitly agreeable and didn't say a word, just bowed and saluted.

It wasn't until Zhuo Yan's figure disappeared that everyone talked in a low voice, today's things are too weird, there are so many big people in an ordinary restaurant, even if they are stupid, they can see that something unusual, and they know, something big must happen.

Sure enough, before it got dark, there were changes in the city, first Hu Yishan, who was transporting city defense materials, was suddenly arrested, and then, many people who had anything to do with him were found out, including many high-ranking officials in the city.

In fact, Wen Chengfang's cousin's nature is not bad, at first he asked his aunt to ask his cousin to find an errand, just to support his family and make his wife and children live a better life, but the so-called lack of people's hearts swallows elephants, and there is nothing in the matter of transporting materials, but it is also a fat difference, because Hu Yishan is the relationship between Wen Chengfang's cousin, and people from all walks of life will give him some care intentionally or unintentionally, so that the supply of materials is selected by him. Send him some benefits, this is understandable, Hu Yishan doesn't dare to do anything in the materials, he chooses the materials are good, since the other party wants to send it, then it will not be accepted in vain.

After making a few small fortunes, Hu Yishan gradually became greedy, especially on the day of his son's marriage, after Wen Chengfang showed his face, this was even higher, Hu Yishan's name spread in Song Shicheng, and all officials of all sizes hoped to take the line of Wen Chengfang through him, because everyone could see Wen Chengfang's current status, and the emperor didn't care about the affairs in the city, so Wen Chengfang was naturally the same as the city lord.

Hu Yishan is not a smart person, as soon as he saw that all the big people who were officials on weekdays were talking to him in a low voice, he naturally fluttered, others sent property, sent beauties, at first he didn't dare to accept it, but slowly found that even if he accepted it, it would be fine, because no one asked him for any help, so he put it away with peace of mind.

It wasn't until later that someone really came to the door, and he was still worried, but when he asked him to do something, he didn't have to do anything, as long as he accompanied the other party, someone naturally sold Wen Chengfang's face.

After doing this a few times, Hu Yishan's courage became bigger and bigger, and sometimes he even faked Wen Chengfang's meaning, of course, no one dared to really ask Wen Chengfang, what he said, naturally he dared to believe that he had it or not.

For a time, Hu Yishan became a role above 10,000 people under one person in Song Shicheng, staring at Wen Chengfang's name everywhere to do things for others, among which there were many unjust cases and forced marriages to people's daughters.

In fact, if he goes on like this, even if Yue Shaoan is not so troubled by the Meng family's father and son today, sooner or later people will notice him, but Yue Shaoan's interest today has made the incident happen earlier, and at the same time, he also let Wen Chengfang get into the pit.

Zhuo Yan has always been a powerful way to do things, needless to say, on the day Hu Yishan was arrested, he was put in prison and used a heavy sentence, this is not that Zhuo Yan did not give Wen Cheng a face, on the contrary, Zhuo Yan did this for him, if he did not redo Hu Yishan at this time, obviously he could not explain to Yue Shaoan, and when the time came, if Yue Shaoan personally dealt with it, Wen Chengfang would definitely be implicated.

Hu Yishan is not a hard bone, he was arrested at first, and he hoped that Zhuo Yan would not embarrass him on Wen Chengfang's face, and besides, with Wen Chengfang's name on his head, he was respected by officials from all walks of life, but he had already forgotten that he was not the biggest in the Emperor City, and neither was Wen Chengfang, even if Yue Shaoan didn't do it himself, there were many people who could treat him, at least, the Zhuo Yan in front of him who didn't look very old, killing him was as simple as killing an ant.

On weekdays, he was called Master Hu, and he had long forgotten that he was actually just a coachman who delivered materials, but his arrogant appearance, after being tortured, quickly changed back, and the people who should be bitten were not spared, and the people who had benefited from him before were all arrested by Zhuo Yan.

The small cell was quickly filled, at the beginning, those people still shouted that they were wronged, but Zhuo Yan was different from ordinary officials trying cases, as long as he shouted wronged, he brought it out, took out a piece of evidence and used it once, after watching the people who shouted the most fiercely were tortured to the point of not being human, the people behind finally knew what cruelty was, and finally knew what it meant to be afraid. Without Zhuo Yan saying anything, they took the initiative to confess their crimes.

Because of Zhuo Yan's methods, the case was tried quickly, and after a night, in the early morning of the second day, the independent Yamen Supervision Department in the Imperial City issued a general document, Hu Yishan's case, involving a total of 57 rich officials, including 17 officials and 7 people who were corrupt and bent the law, all of whom were sentenced to beheading; Ten people accepted bribes, were put on hold for investigation, and their family property was confiscated; The rest of the rich people were also sentenced according to the seriousness of the circumstances.

Among these people, the charges were more or less serious, but without exception, this time they were all heavy sentences. Among the people involved, the lightest sentence was Yue Shao'an's personal determination of the Meng family's father and son.

After this time, the Supervision Division, which was originally established as soon as Yue Shao'an entered the city, but few people knew about it, suddenly made everyone pay attention, and then people found out that the Supervision Department originally had such a big right, among the seventeen officials, two of them were Zhengwupin, but they said to take it, and they didn't even give the other party the right to say a double sentence.

And Wen Chengfang's demotion was also announced by the Supervision Department, which made the Supervision Department even more famous, and Zhuo Yan's name was known to more people.

A group of old men in the teahouse at the entrance of the alley sat there and discussed.

"I heard that Lord Zhuo Yan of the Supervision Department was taught by the emperor, and his Wen Taowu skills are very powerful."

"Nonsense, who is the emperor? That's on the papal one. Lord Zhuo Yan is also a student of the emperor, so he and the emperor are classmates, of course, it is amazing......"

"Wow, with the emperor's classmates?"

“……”

Of course, these people are just talking about different versions of rumors, those high-ranking officials in the officialdom understand more than them, in their opinion, Zhuo Yan is too ruthless, so many people involved in the case are people with a lot of money, Zhuo Yan is actually not in the smoke, after the confiscation of the family property, all the confiscation, what good is it for him?

But he did just that, and there were only sixteen officials involved in the case, and the one that was later filled in was arrested for bribing Zhuo Yan because he wanted to save one of them, so Zhuo Yan could be said to have cut off his own back road, and in the future, no one dared to bribe him, and no one would walk in with him.

In fact, those who are in power are not afraid of those who form a party, but what they are most afraid of is this so-called "one-root grass", which has nothing to do with anyone, let alone selling anyone's face, which is very terrible, especially after this kind of person has the power of life and death in his hands.

In general, for Yue Shaoan, Zhuo Yan did a good job in this matter. Because, as a result, the people in the city applauded, and the officials became more self-disciplined.

Joke, Wen Chengfang didn't do anything, he was demoted with just a little bit of involvement, and a few other people dared to use their power for personal gain, didn't they dislike themselves for living for a long time?

Everything in the city seems to have calmed down, and those officials who have been investigated just need to find the right person to replace them. It's just that Wen Chengfang's matter here is not over yet, because, in the near future, Hu Yishan will be beheaded, saying that he really doesn't miss family affection at all, which is impossible.

However, he was extremely ashamed of Yueyue Shao'an's place, the night wind was bleak, the fortifications had stopped, Wen Chengfang dragged his tired body and heart, and slowly walked towards home......
