Chapter 255: Do the work of the county order
In fact, Wu Qing also knew that he couldn't do this Xuzhou assassin for too long, but Li Zhi's condition didn't know how, if he was still alive, then he would serve as the assassin in Xuzhou for at least half a year, and if he died, then he would soon return to the center.
In the midst of this historic change, you are on the sidelines and will be excluded from the core forever! This is what he Wuqing does not want to see, because this is an era of official position, this era is the supremacy of power, the so-called Shinong industry and commerce, this is the truth, although the peasants rank second, but far from being comparable with the scholars.
The purge of Xuzhou officials is just a matter of convenience, the world is looking at him, whether science can govern the country, even those who are studying science are in the exploration stage, not to mention those Confucianism and Legalism, and even Taoism and Buddhism.
On that night, nineteen officials came to the study, and then wept and confessed before leaving the house. Three of them were not found by Yan Ruyu.
Only then did Wu Qing understand what kind of situation the officialdom of Datang had reached, and the corruption of a county order of seven or eight grades could range from 50,000 to 100,000, so what about those state officials?
There are four surnames in Xuzhou, the Xu family, the Liu family, the Xiahou family, the Chen family, and many large and medium-sized households. These bribed state officials at all levels, and they monopolized Xuzhou's grain, restaurants, brothels, salt shops, cloth, freight, iron tools, salt works, and so on.
Wuqing is a bit heavy, monopoly is not a good thing, but it is not a bad thing either, it is not good in the long run, but it is not bad in the short term. And every year, these families donate money to build temples and bridges, and they also do a lot of good deeds.
However, the principle cannot be changed. To rectify the rule of officials, it is not only necessary to rectify the officialdom, but also to bleed these big families. Let them understand that in the fish and meat country, it is necessary to stop in moderation. Should be punished or punished.
wrote a few notes and ordered someone to summon the judiciary to join the army Meng Fei.
Not long after, Meng Fei came, looking at this burly man, Wu Qing did not speak, but turned his back to look out of the window with a calm face, for a long time. Only then did he say in a deep voice: "There is a note on the table, give me all arrests overnight!" ”
Listening to Wu Qing's unquestioning tone. Meng Fei trembled, he felt a sense of tension, or a sense of excitement, he saw it. There was a stack of strips on the bookcase. He took it in his hand and counted it, and there were twenty-four.
Twenty-four names, twenty-four heads!
"The subordinate obeys!" Meng Fei didn't dare to stay, and then bowed down and exited the study.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night, Wu Qing looked out of the dark window, although he gave them three days, if he didn't come on the first day. That means that there is hesitation in the heart, and maybe they are hiding embezzled money and things. Such corrupt officials do not die. Can there be heavenly reason? gave you a chance to be a new person, but you didn't cherish it, the only way to kill it, then you can only use your blood to dye me red and move towards a higher official robe!
The long history Kong Xiang is a descendant of the sage Confucius, and the Confucian family education is extremely strict, so most of the descendants of Confucius are officials who are diligent and love the people. Moreover, although Kong is a descendant of Confucius and has a large family business, he is not prosperous, so there are not many officials. There are not many people like Kong Xiang for a long history, as for corruption, the Kong family does not know how much wealth they have, and they have not humiliated the ancestors for corruption. Therefore, Kong Xiang is a very honest official, even if Wu Qing is a new assassin, he is fully cooperative.
Wu Qing asked him to try the case early tomorrow morning, and he had no complaints.
Early the next morning, when the prisoner cars entered Xuzhou City, they alarmed the people of Xuzhou who got up early, and when someone recognized that it was a county magistrate or county magistrate, they couldn't help but rub their eyes.
"My family, the dog county order has finally been retributed, and he was arrested by Lord Assassin!"
"Hurry up and sue your mother, that dog officer who was stabbed a thousand times was put in a prison car by Lord Shi!"
So, the people of Xuzhou City told each other that in less than half an hour, thousands of people came to the gate of the Assassin's Mansion, shouting to see Lord Assassin.
Wu Qing sighed, this is human hope! The eyes of the people are bright, and if the officials fool the people and exploit the people, then in the near future, they will definitely be crushed into powder by the people.
Wu Qing ordered the clerk to join the army and write a notice, and those who have grievances can go to the county government to file a complaint, and he will personally sit for trial.
At this time, Meng Fei, a judicial member of the army, came, and when he saw Meng Fei, Wu Qing asked, "Are there any people who resist arrest?" ”
Meng Fei arched his hand and said: "When I was arrested last night, many people were hiding their belongings, and a few were still hiding in the women's bed. However, please rest assured, none of the people on the strip are missing, and the family assets are sealed, and they are all guarded by state soldiers. ”
Wu Qing nodded and said: "Pass the order, don't harass your family, and after the interrogation, you will go to the court and then send it down, and if you dare to disobey, you will be beheaded!" ”
Meng Fei shuddered for a while, hurriedly retreated, and conveyed the order, but he knew the temperament of those state soldiers, and if he broke the history of assassination, he would not do it if he joined the army.
Wu Qing looked at Kong Xiang, the long history on the side, and said: "Kong Changshi, you go to the prison to try it first, if there are stubborn people, you can write it down and report it to this assassin history." ”
Kong Xiang arched his hand and said: "It is the blessing of the imperial court to purge the rulers of the assassin history, and the lower officials will definitely help." ”
"That's fine, let's go."
When Kong Xiang went out, Wu Qing ordered the record to join the army: "You go with me to the county office, this county order and the county Cheng have been arrested, and I still have to sit in the county office." It's better than the addiction of the county order trial! ”
Naturally, the people who joined the army did not dare to laugh out loud, they understood that as soon as this assassination history came, it could be seen that he was not afraid of the local tyrants, and more importantly, there were people in the court, who was he? He is the princess of Taiping who once saddened the sons of the Chang'an family! Who could he be afraid of? He used to be the general of Zuo Yu Lin Wei of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, who dares to move? He is the founder of science, and he is almost famous all over the world, who wouldn't want to meet such a person?
Outside the Assassin's Mansion, there were too many people, so Wu Qing had to go through the back door and sit in a carriage, but after a while, he came to the county office. Local affairs are generally handled by the counties, and the Assassin's Office only coordinates in the center and supervises the military and political affairs. So in order to establish an image, and also to keep Xuzhou City from chaos, he can only sit in the county government.
Wu Qing naturally did not go to the back house, where was the county order's family, and when he arrived at the county hall, Wu Qing ordered someone to seal the door from the front hall to the back house. Let the people in the back house only go through the back door.
The officials stood at the door trembling, afraid of being chopped alive by the big axe on the waist of the black-faced man, and did not dare to enter the hall.
Wu Qing ignored those officials, he looked at the huge picture of the sunrise and the sea rising in the east behind the county office, and had unspeakable words, since the advent of "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", the county government of the Tang Dynasty has also changed a lot, and the plaque on it is written rigorously and neatly with the four big characters of "Mirror Hanging"! On the left and right sides stand signs such as "Quiet", "Justice", "Strictness" and "Selflessness".
Wu Qing nodded and said loudly: "Drum and ascend!" (To be continued......)
