Wang Yang, who had just taken office, did not disappoint Wei Zheng, and on the first day of his tenure, he borrowed 100 soldiers from the Taiyuan General Military Office and escorted the county order of Jinzhong County back to Taiyuan.

Of course, the large amount of money that this Jinzhong County ordered to embezzle for half a lifetime was also escorted back to Taiyuan City by Wang Yang intact.

After reading the list of belongings that Wang Yang brought back from Jinzhong County, Wei Zheng once again realized that the problem of Ming officialdom was strict.

A small Qipin county order, in just five or six years, embezzled more than one million taels of silver. It is conceivable that under the influence of this unhealthy trend, how much silver falls into the pockets of these corrupt officials in Jinzhong County every year, and how many more taxes the people of Jinzhong County have to bear every year in order to satisfy the huge appetite of these corrupt officials.

After taking a deep breath, Wei Zheng, who had already exuded a thick murderous aura on his body, directly opened his mouth and decided: "Embezzling so much silver, even cutting his head ten times is enough..."

"Lord Wang, you immediately gather all the officials above the seventh rank in Taiyuan Mansion to Taiyuan City, and I will cut off the head of the county commander of Jinzhong County in front of all the civil and military officials. The civil and military officials of Taiyuan Prefecture are officials within the jurisdiction of their own officials, and no matter how big the backstage is, they must control their own hands. Otherwise, the end will be even worse than the Jinzhong County Order..."

"Yes, Lord Governor..."

Two days later, in the Taiyuan garrison barracks, a five-foot-high platform, stood impressively in the middle of the training ground.

Around this platform, several lookouts have been erected in turn.

Wei Zheng, the governor of Shanxi, Wu Baotian, the governor of Shanxi, and Wang Yang, the newly appointed governor of Taiyuan....Dozens of civil and military officials of Taiyuan Prefecture were according to their own ranks and official positions. Sit on both sides of the guard in turn.

Just after everyone arrived. Wei Zheng said directly to Wang Yang: "Lord Wang." You are the temporary prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture, and you will order the entire execution process......"

Under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes at the same time, Wang Yang, who forcibly suppressed the tension in his heart, walked directly to the front of the stage and shouted loudly: "Immediately take the criminal official Jinzhong County County Order to the execution platform......

The former high-ranking county magistrate of Jinzhong County, after being tortured in prison for two days, has already lived up to his former glory.

Maybe he already knew that this was his last moment in this world, and he had just been pressed out of the cage by more than a dozen guards. Ascend to the execution platform. The county order of Jinzhong County, which had faded from the official mansion and was distributed, shouted loudly to Wei Zheng and the others on the high platform with the last trace of desire to survive.

"The Governor spares his life, and the lower officials are wronged....the lower officials are wronged..."

"You can't kill me, my cousin is the head of the imperial court, if you kill me, my cousin will never let you go...."

Seeing that the expression on Governor Wei Zheng's face did not change in any way because of his words. The county magistrate of Jinzhong County, who was full of despair, could only pin his hopes on Wu Baotian, the governor of Shanxi.

With the last glimmer of hope, he shouted loudly: "Lord Wu, save me, just put me in prison again." My uncle will come and save me....Lord Governor, you have also taken my money. You can't die without help..."

Wei Zheng didn't speak, and the dozens of civil and military officials sitting on both sides of Wei Zheng certainly couldn't speak.

Just when Wang Yang's face showed an embarrassed expression because of this, Wei Zheng spoke.

Facing Wang Yang, he ordered with a cold face: "Lord Wang, what are you waiting for... Waiting for the Imperial Court Household Department Shangshu to come to save him....I dare to kill a four-rank prefect appointed by the imperial court, let alone a small seven-rank county order..."

Under Wei Zheng's reminder, Wang Yang had to take out the order arrow and shouted loudly: "Committing the official Jinzhong County Order, embezzling and accepting bribes, and robbing people's property... According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the sentence was immediately executed...... Execution..."

After Wang Yang's loud voice sounded in the training ground, the strong man in charge of the execution directly carried a ghost-headed knife and walked behind the county magistrate of Jinzhong County. After pulling out the wooden card inserted in his back, he slashed the ghost head knife in his hand very neatly.

A burst of sword light flashed, and as soon as it was injected, blood spurted out in the direction of the blade...

The cries and howls of the county magistrate of Jinzhong County, which were still constantly begging for mercy, stopped abruptly in an instant. A round head also fell on the execution table with a 'plop...'.

A seven-pin county order appointed by the imperial court, but a seven-pin county order with a strong background, was killed by a word from the governor...

It is safe to say: The bloody scene in front of him was more shocking than Wei Zheng's killing of the Taiyuan prefect in the General Military Mansion, which brought more shock to the civil and military officials behind him.

When everyone saw the corpses that had been separated on the execution table, everyone subconsciously shrank their necks, afraid of when this knife would be cut on their heads.

Seeing this, Wei Zheng knew that his role in killing chickens and monkeys had already been played.

And next, it is time to announce the future rules of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces after he becomes the governor of Shanxi.

A pair of piercing eyes lingered on everyone for a few seconds, and then said loudly, "Everyone saw it... According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the Taiyuan prefect who was beheaded in the front or the Jinzhong County Decree that is now beheaded, they should be reported to the Criminal Department before they can be finally convicted..."

"However, this official doesn't, this official just wants to use the power of the emperor to make decisions on the spot, and here, cut off their heads."

"The reason why I did this is for only one purpose: that is, to tell everyone that as long as I Wei Zheng serves as the governor of Shanxi for one day, the civil and military officials of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces will come according to my rules. Otherwise, no matter how high your official position and grade are, and how deep your background and background are in the imperial court, as long as you violate the rules, the official who should be killed will definitely not show mercy. ”

"As for the rule I'm talking about, it's very simple."

"First, no matter what your official position is, you must fulfill your duties....I don't ask how high your ability is, as long as you can fulfill your duties and do your own things well, you are a good official......

"Second, as long as the official is in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces for one day, the official will not allow corruption to happen..."

"Everyone should have seen that among the several officials killed by this official in the past two days, everyone is related to corruption. I now declare that for those corrupt officials, you have two paths to choose from..."

"The first way is to take the initiative to hand over to the Governor's Mansion the proceeds of your corruption during your time as an official... In this case, the official will definitely not blame you for the past. As long as you are no longer corrupt in your future official career, this official will continue to use you. ”

"The second way, if you feel that these rules set by the official are too strict, you can find a way to transfer out of Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, or directly resign and leave the officialdom of Shanxi and Shanxi provinces...... Of course, even so, you have to hand over the proceeds of corruption during your official years. Otherwise, with the character of this official, you will definitely not be able to die well..."

"Here, I want to remind you that this official is a military general, and he has also served as a fellow ...... Jinyi Guard, whether it is speaking or doing things, there are not so many polite words....In Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, as long as you don't follow the rules I set, waiting for your ending, it will be very miserable" (to be continued......
