For ordinary people, Wei Zheng's series of actions, except for winning the hearts of the people and making their lives more laughing, did not have much impact in a substantive sense. After all, officialdom is just too far away from them.

However, for the officialdom of the entire Shanxi, after Wei Zheng was crowned the governor of Shanxi, the first fire burned in Taiyuan directly told everyone that he was a person who could not tolerate sand in his eyes. Sue them that since he became the governor of Shanxi, the officialdom of the entire Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces is about to change.

In the lobby of the Taiyuan General Military Mansion, Wei Zheng was sitting on the main seat of the lobby with a smile on his face, quietly sipping fragrant tea.

At the request of Wei Zheng, all the civil and military officials above the seventh rank in Taiyuan City were listed on both sides of the lobby of the General Military Mansion, looking at the main seat with an uneasy expression, not knowing what would happen next.

After sitting in the lobby of the General Military Mansion for half an hour without the slightest incident, Governor Wu Baotian, who was sitting at the head of the lobby of the General Military Mansion, had to ask at the instigation of his subordinates.

"Lord Governor, I don't know what you summoned us for? It's been half an hour now...."

Wei Zheng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, the time is almost up..."

As soon as the words fell, a noise began to sound at the gate of the General Soldier's Mansion.

Wei Zheng's eyes, who had just spoken, lit up, and he said excitedly: "Okay, it's time... Ladies and gentlemen, next, I invite you to watch a good show..."

Regarding the arrest of the Taiyuan prefect, except for a few high-ranking officials such as Governor Wu Baotian, everyone else was still in the dark. Therefore, when the Taiyuan prefect in official uniform was overturned by several garrisons. Most of the faces on both sides of the lobby. They all showed a stunned and shocked expression.

That's when it happened. Wei Zheng's next sentence, although it solved the doubts in everyone's hearts, but it made the shocked expression on everyone's face thicker.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the reason why we have summoned everyone here is for only one purpose, and that is to try the corruption case of the Taiyuan Prefect. Interrogated in front of everyone, don't say that this official relies on the emperor's trust. The right to appoint people in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, arrest people indiscriminately, and kill people indiscriminately......"

After finishing speaking, Wei Zheng directly opened his mouth and ordered: "General Wang, immediately show you some of the incriminating evidence you collected in the yamen of the Taiyuan Prefect, and let you see the true face of the Taiyuan Prefect......

"Yes, Lord Governor......"

Soon, some account books and correspondence were sent by Wang Zhongyu to Wu Baotian, the governor of Shanxi.

After reading these things with a puzzled face, Wu Baotian knew. The Taiyuan prefect standing in the middle of the lobby couldn't be saved.

Wei Zheng, who was sitting on the main seat, saw that most of the officials on both sides of the hall had finished reading the letters. After an unprecedented solemn and worried expression appeared on his face. Directly shifted his gaze to Governor Wu Baotian, and said in an undoubted tone.

"Lord Wu, you are the governor of Shanxi, and you are the direct official of the Taiyuan prefect, and now that the Taiyuan prefect has committed such a big thing, as the governor of Shanxi, you don't know what to say? What should be done with the Taiyuan prefect in front of you? ”

Facing Wei Zheng's questioning, Wu Baotian's heart was full of dissatisfaction.

If it is placed in other places, with his literati arrogance, Wu Baotian, as the governor of the second rank of the imperial court, will definitely come out on the spot.

However, he didn't dare in front of Wei Zheng. Let's not talk about the official position of Wei Zheng as the governor of Shanxi, that is, in Wei Zheng's hands, the sword of Shang Fang, which has the power to kill civil and military officials below the fourth rank in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, is not something he dares to provoke......

Therefore, anger turned into anger, Wu Baotian still replied with a smile: "Lord Governor, the supervision of the lower officials is not effective, and after I go back, I will definitely write a letter to the court to ask for guilt..."

Faced with Wu Baotian's evasive answer, Wei Zheng couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Cunning old fox...."

Scolding and scolding, Wei Zheng didn't show Xiàn out, and he didn't plan to let this old fox go like this.

While a pair of eyes continued to stare at Wu Baotian, he patiently continued to ask: "Asking the court for guilt, that is Lord Wu's own business, and this official will not ask much." I want to know now: As the direct official of the Taiyuan prefect, what do you think should be the result of committing an official to the Taiyuan prefect according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Hearing this, Wu Tianbao was directly stunned, and fell into a difficult choice.

Wei Zheng's question seems simple, he only needs his own words to determine the life and death of the Taiyuan prefect. However, there is a very deep conspiracy hidden here.

Once he followed the laws of the Ming Dynasty, he opened his mouth to convict the Taiyuan prefect.

In the eyes of a group of civil officials and military generals in Shanxi, the Taiyuan prefect, as a confidant, was personally pushed to the guillotine by himself, a Shangguan, and was sent to the guillotine under the coercion of the governor of Shanxi in front of him.

And this, I will give you an idea: in the future, in his career as an official in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, once he offends the governor Wei Zheng, Wu Baotian, as the governor, will definitely withdraw himself without hesitation to take the blame if he does not dare to offend the governor Wei Zheng, and he will not dare or have the ability to protect himself.

Wu Baotian can imagine that once this idea spreads among the civil and military officials of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, the civil and military officials in the entire Shanxi province will give up their own governors who have no future and instead join the command of the governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi to serve Wei Zheng.

Once this matter becomes a fact, the whole of Shanxi will become the world of Wei Zheng, the governor of Shanxi in front of him. As the governor of Shanxi, he will completely become a lonely person who has to rely on Wei Zheng. Otherwise, I can only leave Shanxi in disgrace...

But what if you don't answer yourself?

The problem is bound to get even worse...

In Wei Zheng's eyes, if he didn't answer, he would challenge the authority of his Shanxi governor, which meant that the Shanxi governor in front of him had just taken office, and he had become the opponent of the other party.

Treat the opponent, as the Wei Zheng of the governor of Shanxi, he will definitely not show mercy.

Wang Baotian also didn't dare to imagine how long he, the governor of Shanxi, could be the governor of Shanxi under Wei Zheng's revenge, and whether he could leave Shanxi alive......

Wang Baotian can see this, and some civil and military officials in the lobby can also see this.

As soon as Wei Zheng's words were finished, more than a dozen civil and military officials on both sides of the hall seemed to have been discussed, and at the same time focused their eyes on Wu Baotian, waiting for Wu Baotian to answer.

Faced with more than a dozen pairs of different eyes with sharpness, expectation, and worry, Wang Baotian knew that it was time for him to speak. (To be continued......)
