After a while, Wang Xu wrote two letters, one was an order to appoint Lai Gong to act as the Taishou of Wuling, and the other was an order to transfer troops. After checking it and making sure that there are no inconsiderate words, he took out his gold seal and stamped it. Solemnly handed it to Lai Gong and said: "Wen Jing, the affairs of Wuling will be handed over to you, the matter is very important, but you must not go on a business trip!" ”

Hearing this, Lai Gong didn't say a word, and immediately replied: "Don't worry, the lord will guarantee the head of the item in the end, and he will never be dishonored." ”

"Good! Then you go and stay safe on the road. After getting Lai Gong's promise, Wang Xu stopped being verbose, and told with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern." Lai Gong nodded gratefully, didn't say much, turned around suddenly, and left quickly.

Wang Xu sent it to the door of the study, watched Lai Gong go away quickly, and couldn't help but smile with relief. But then thinking of what Lai Gong said before, his face sank again, and he didn't say anything when he saw Xu Shu coming, and walked straight to the outside of the hospital. It made Xu Shu inexplicable, and she didn't know how to provoke him. But I thought it was because of government affairs, so I didn't say much, seeing that there was no one in the study, I looked at the snacks in my hand, shrugged my shoulders, and took it to the pavilion to eat.

When he came to the front yard with a gloomy face, the little officials who met him were a little trembling. Because on weekdays, Wang Xu has a smile on his face to people, but once his face is gloomy, it means that something big has happened. No one wanted to touch the mold, and they all retreated far away, not daring to come forward to greet them.

walked all the way into the territory of the General's Mansion, but found that Huan Jie's office was not in his office. After walking to the courtyard and glancing at it, he grabbed a small official who was about to avoid him, and asked in a deep voice, "What about Huan Zhizhong?" ”

"The villain doesn't know!" Seeing that Wang Xu's face was not good-looking, the little official was also a little scared, and hesitated for a long time before he timidly continued: "However, it should be in the next courtyard Tian Beijia!" On weekdays, several adults often discuss things together. ”

"Hmm!" Nodding, Wang Xu glanced at the little official. Not much to say. When he walked towards Tian Feng.

After a while, he had already heard the laughter of Tian Feng, Gong Qiu Cheng and Huan Jie. Wang Xu didn't want to be angry at his henchmen because he was angry in his heart, so he took a few deep breaths before striding over. "Yuan Hao, Wen Liang, Bo continued. What are you laughing at? ”

"Oh? The lord is here! Hearing Wang Xu's voice, Tian Feng immediately turned his head curiously. looked through the wide open door and saw Wang Xu coming, and immediately couldn't help but get up to greet him. Gong Qiu said that he and Huan Jie also followed, and followed with a smile.

"I'm here to find you guys with something to say." Although his face looked a lot better, Wang Xu still looked a little impatient. After speaking. After looking at the three of them, he pointed to the room and said, "Let's go!" Let's talk about it in the first house. ”

Tian Feng They are so smart, of course, they instantly felt that Wang Xu was in a bad mood, they glanced at each other, and they didn't dare to laugh anymore, so they hurriedly followed into the house.

walked to the desk where Tian Feng was working and sat down, and saw that the three of them were standing bent down, a little hesitant. Wang Xu suddenly waved his long sleeves. said lightly: "Sit down!" ”

"No!" Hear the words. The three of them answered, exchanging colors with each other. I did it quietly.

Seeing this, Wang Xu turned his head to look at Huan Jie, and asked lightly: "Bo Xu, you are engaged in governance, in charge of the appointment and promotion of the officials of the four counties of Jingnan, meritorious records, etc., and you should know the most about the duties of various official positions!" ”

Hearing that Wang Xu pointed at himself as soon as he opened his mouth, Huan Jie was stunned for a moment, but then he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately replied: "Back to the lord, it's like this." ”

"Then let me ask you, if the counties go back to the county government to report military and political affairs, do they need to pass you here?" Wang Xu said.

"Yes! All the records of affairs will be passed to me, because the subordinates have to record their merits. Huan Dai didn't hesitate, even nodded.

"Hmmm! In that case, is it your business to review the officials and petty officials? Wang Xu asked after his words.

"This is exactly what it is my subordinate's job to do." Huan Jie is definitely authentic.

"Hmm!" Hearing this, Wang Xu nodded, looked at the more and more confused Di Huan for a long time, and then sighed: "Bo Xu, then do you know Lai Gong's deputy, Jiang Wan of Ningyuan County?" ”

"I know a little bit about it, this person is quite famous, and it is said that he is extraordinary, but his subordinates are not very familiar with it." knew that something must have happened, so Huan Jie also replied very seriously, and almost as soon as Wang Xu spoke, he had already opened his mouth to take it.

But after looking at Wang Xu's face, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Lord, could it be that there is something wrong with this Jiang Wan?" But as far as his subordinates have heard, this person has a good reputation, is honest and upright, and has also made great achievements in assisting Lai Gong in governance, so there shouldn't be any problems, right? ”

Hearing this, Wang Xu smiled slightly, but instead of answering the question head-on, he asked, "It is said that he personally went back to the house last time to report?" Is there such a thing? ”

"This ......" Hearing this, Huan Jie couldn't help frowning, fell into the memory, and nodded after a long time. Well! Thinking about it, there was indeed this matter, because it was not only the county affairs of Ningyuan County that was reported that time, but also about the barbarians, so it was not the county government officials who came, but the county Cheng who came over in person. ”

Speaking of this, Huan Jie seemed to suddenly sound something, and he was suddenly stunned. "By the way, the lord didn't talk about it, I almost forgot that his behavior at that time was indeed a little weird. I received a report from him, and seeing that his writing was extraordinary, I intended to summon him. However, he learned that after he handed over the documents and materials to the officials in the prefecture, he had already resigned, saying that the county government was busy with affairs and could not be delayed. At that time, I was very strange, usually the officials who came to report would wait to be summoned, and he would be fine, and he would leave as soon as he handed over his things. It's just that at that time, the subordinates also felt that Ningyuan County had just been built, and there was the governor of barbarian affairs, so they were really busy, so they didn't care! ”

It is impossible for Huan to lie to himself, and there is no other reason, then the mystery is obvious. It must be those petty officials who deceive their superiors and subordinates, and use such means to extort money.

With a decision in his heart, Wang Xu stopped going around the corner, shook his head, and sighed softly: "Bo Xu, do you know what Lai Gong told me today?" ”

"My subordinates don't know!"

After looking at the unknown Huan Steps, Wang Xu sighed and continued softly: "He said to me that the status of foreign generals is extremely low, and whether he writes or reports on military and political affairs, he will even be discriminated against by the officials of the General's Mansion. For this matter. Bo Xu has to take responsibility! ”

As soon as these words came out. Huan Jie suddenly became anxious, knelt on the ground, and gave up his hands to justify. "My lord, you have been wronged! How can his subordinates be the kind of people who bully others, not to mention indulgence and arrogance, even treating foreign generals with great respect on weekdays, how can they do such a thing? ”

With his voice. Gong Qiu Cheng also frowned and took over the words: "That's right! The lord and the uncle are dedicated to the public and have a very high moral character, so it is impossible to do such a thing. ”

"Hmmm! Wen Liang is not bad, Bo Xu is by no means such a villain, and his subordinates are willing to vouch for him. Tian Feng thought for a moment. It's also an opening to speak.

Hearing this, Wang Xu immediately knew that they had misunderstood, so he couldn't help but smile and shook his head. "You have misunderstood, I have never had the slightest doubt about the conduct of Bo Xu. I'll tell you the truth, Jiang Wan came to report on his work, not because he wanted to leave. Instead, he was stopped by the officials after he came. I can't see Bo Xu. After many days of waiting, I came to ask. Instead, he was insulted, saying that he did not understand the rules, and asked for money. As a result, they were left alive and disappointed in us. Now you guys get it? ”

All three of them are extremely intelligent people, and it is not clear where they have said this. Huan Jie's face instantly became very ugly, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to face Wang Xu.

Knowing that Huan Jie's heart was ashamed, Wang Xu didn't say much about him, but just said earnestly: "Although this is only an example, the problems reflected are indeed very strict. Jiang Wan was still despised as a county magistrate, not to mention other ordinary officials? And after you met with those officials, they didn't mention this kind of thing, obviously they were used to it, and they probably thought that you were the ones who took the lead in doing it. Can you imagine what kind of consequences will be in the future if this goes on for a long time? ”

"The subordinates are not strict, and they are willing to be punished!" Hearing this, Huan Jie was ashamed and wanted to die, and kept kowtowing.

"Bo Xu, you don't have to blame yourself too much." Seeing him like this, Wang Xu was also extremely unbearable in his heart, and immediately persuaded: "Actually, this is also my reason, the generals and mansions have not been able to operate normally, and it all depends on the support of a few of you." Not only is the affairs heavy, but the matters under its jurisdiction are also very messy, and in many cases, it is inevitable that the following things will be overlooked. Moreover, Lingling was in a difficult situation at the beginning, and in order to quickly resume operation, he pardoned the previous officials, and the conduct of the guide zhì was uneven. Now that they are settled, their bad habits have returned, and you are no wonder. ”

As he spoke, he didn't wait for the three of them to make excuses, but he changed his words and said sternly: "But this matter must not be tolerated, and it must be thoroughly investigated as soon as possible, and all the officials involved will be punished according to the severity of the circumstances." The one who takes the lead in doing it is chopped! ”

"No!" The hearts of the three of them were also holding back a fire at the moment, and as soon as Wang Xu's words fell, he suddenly responded to the order.

Among them, Huan Jie, who has the greatest responsibility, said loudly: "The lord is generous, regardless of the fault of his subordinates, but if he can't do it at the top, it won't work at the bottom." As a member of the government, Huan Jiejie should be responsible for this matter, and hope that the lord will punish him. As he spoke, he fell to the ground, refusing to lift his head.

In fact, Wang Xu didn't know this truth, but Huan Jie's was really wronged, so he didn't want to worry about it, after all, if the officials of the General's Mansion were neat, then Huan Jie's should not be fully responsible. Seeing him so insistent at this moment, I was also deeply gratified in my heart, sighed, and personally got up to help him, and said with a slight smile: "Boxu's conduct is really a model for everyone, even so." Then punish you for half a year, and punish you slightly! Moreover, this time, you are fully responsible for carrying out a major purge of all the officials under your subordinates, and you must clean up the moths and clean up the officials, which can be regarded as making up for the faults. ”

"No! The guilty will not be dishonored. ”

"Hey! Well, there's not much else to say. In short, you do your best to deal with it. In a few days, I will have a few heads to calm the hearts of loyal ministers and good generals. If you need it, you can also ask Shan Huai and Ling Wanqing to help, they can help with this kind of investigation. After speaking, Wang Xu also stayed for a short time, nodded with a smile, and turned to leave, so as not to put pressure on the three of them.

Seeing that Wang Xu was gone, Huan Jie slowly got up, his face was full of anger, and he angrily praised Tian Feng and Gong Qiu: "Yuan Hao, Wen Liang, you must help me this time, and you are determined to deal with this group of villains." ”

"Where did Bo continue to say this, although the lord didn't say anything about this matter, but I am also responsible, how can I not do my best?" Saying that, Gong Qiu Cheng looked at Huan Jie, then frowned and said, "Without further ado, start doing it now, and you must not disappoint the lord again."
