Chapter 491 [Falling into the Ghost Realm]
Duan Fei resolutely disposed of the top-down officials in Shaanxi Province, some were taken down on the spot, some were only reprimanded, and some were even rewarded, to everyone's surprise, Song Yan, the magistrate of the old county, was actually passed up, wasn't he beheaded that day?
That day, Duan Fei just used a trick to deter the officials, in fact, how could an official of the imperial court, especially a rare Qing official, be killed casually? During this time, Duan Fei kept Song Yan by his side, visited the masses everywhere, and gave him a good lesson in the way of being an official.
Duan Fei praised his political achievements in the old county, and criticized him in public for his stubbornness, triteness, and short-sightedness at a critical juncture, and finally Duan Fei said: "Lord Song, don't do the old county order...... This official plans to promote you to Pingliang as the temporary prefect, I don't know if you are willing? ”
Song Yan and others were shocked when they heard it, and the demotion became a promotion, Song Yan was so excited that he bowed in front of the hall and said: "Thank you for your support, the lower officials will definitely be more aware of the people's feelings in the future, and dare not live up to the high expectations of the adults." ”
Duan Fei said with a smile: "This official believes that you can do it, but you are too straight, sometimes you have to know how to be flexible, as long as it is something that benefits the country and the people, you must do it boldly, the hearts of the people are bright, whoever treats them well will remember it in their hearts, word after mouth, from generation to generation, isn't it simple to leave a name in history?" Okay, Lord Song, please step back for the time being, and the next one will be passed on to Tian Xin, the magistrate of Xianyang. ”
The order was conveyed, but no one came to the hall for a long time, Jinyiwei went down to look for it, and went to the hall to report: "Lord Hui, Tian Xin, the county magistrate of Xianyang, is not in the hall." ”
Duan Fei was shocked and shouted: "Good Tian Xin, I actually know that this official wants to arrest him, and the order is to go down, Tian Xin is a spy of the White Lotus Sect, the whole city is searched, and the four gates are guarded, and he must not be allowed to escape!" ”
Everyone sighed in their hearts, they really didn't expect that there were so many people from the White Lotus Sect among their acquaintances, and today Lord Duan had already caught several of them on the spot, this Tian Xin must have felt that something was wrong and quickly fled.
In fact, how could these people escape from Duan Fei's palm so easily? This was just a good show to catch and release Cao, and it didn't take long for the brocade guard to come back with Tian Xin, who had soft limbs and a colorless face.
Duan Fei's arrest of corrupt officials and the arrest of White Lotus is like combing the entire Shaanxi officialdom with a comb, those who have petty evils or some inappropriate aspects of governance are left, no one is perfect, give them a little tricks, and warn them again, just keep an eye on them carefully in the future, you can't have a big change like Pingliang, Duan Fei doesn't have so many people to replace him.
After being busy for more than two hours, he finally dealt with these officials almost, and at this time, everyone was a little hungry, but Duan Fei shouted reluctantly: "Come on, bring up the White Lotus Sect disciples captured today and the White Lotus Sect members imprisoned in prison to this official." ”
In the jingle sound, more than a dozen people were pushed and pushed to the hall, including Tian Xin, who was arrested just now, Dai Peng, the incense master of the White Lotus Sect Xunfeng Hall, Wei Yuanqing, Wei Huashi, the boss of Tenglongzhai, etc.
Duan Fei didn't interrogate them one by one, but asked in public: "You White Lotus Sect traitors, this official didn't wronged you, right?" It's going to be decapitated in the afternoon, what else do you want to say? ”
"The villain is wronged, my lord!" Wei Yuanqing shouted and said: "The villain doesn't know that his brother is already dead, and the villain doesn't know who did it, the villain is not a White Lotus Sect, adult, the villain is wronged!" ”
Duan Fei replied lightly: "You still dare to shout injustice? Even if your brother didn't die in your hands, he was indirectly killed by you, and your wife and mother are all White Lotus disciples, do you dare to say that you are not? Come on, slap your mouth twenty, I see if you still dare to talk nonsense! Doesn't everyone else have anything to say? If you don't have anything to say, you will drag it down, and you will be cut at the entrance of the vegetable market at noon! ”
Duan Fei had already established authority, and no one dared to oppose it at the moment, these people were quickly dragged down, Duan Fei said to the officials standing in the hall with a pleasant face: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's okay now, you should each go back to the mansion and go back to the government, remember the words of this official, do more solid and useful things for the country and the people." ”
The hundred officials said goodbye one by one, Ji Yuanheng had some questions about the handling of Wei Yuanlin's bones, Duan Fei no longer hid it from him, and told him his plan, Ji Yuanheng thought about it and applauded.
At noon, a group of Demon Sect disciples were pulled to the entrance of the vegetable market, kneeling in a row, Duan Fei sent Shi Bin and a few of their boys to publicize the dangers of the Demon Sect on the spot, as soon as the hour came, Duan Fei, who personally supervised the beheading, threw the token and shouted: "Execution!" ”
The executioner picked up the big knife in his hand and beheaded the prisoners one by one, and the onlookers cheered, and some even lit incense, candles, and paper money on the spot to comfort their relatives.
Soon it was Wei Yuanlin's turn and his wife's turn, seeing so many heads and so much blood with his own eyes, Wei Yuanlin was already frightened, while his wife Wei Huashi closed her eyes, silently recited the "Sutra of Robbery", and waited for the moment when her life ended.
The executioner's knife was raised in the air, and then swung downward, and Wei Huashi felt a blow to her neck, and her body slammed, and then she didn't know anything.
I don't know how long it took, Wei Huashi woke up faintly, she subconsciously touched her neck, and found that her neck was intact, she sighed, looked around, and saw that she was in a wilderness, although she was wearing clothes, she still felt a little cold, Wei Huashi said suspiciously: "Am I not dead?" ”
A voice came from behind, eerie and said, "Who said that?" We're all dead, don't believe you bite your own hand and see if it hurts? ”
Wei Huashi turned around in shock, only to see the person who spoke lying on the ground, wearing dark clothes, no wonder he didn't see it for a while when he observed the surroundings just now, Wei Huashi was shocked: "Who are you?" ”
The man sighed and said: "You have been lurking in the Wei family, you have only seen me once, no wonder you can't hear my voice, I know that your name is Hua Wan, I am Dai Peng, the former master of Xunfeng Hall, we were cut off on the same day, do you remember?" ”
Wei Huashi secretly twisted her thigh, and sure enough, she didn't feel any pain, and she said suspiciously: "Are you really the Lord of Incense?" Of course I remember, are we really dead? Why is my head still on my neck? ”
Dai Peng sat up and said: "People are real, ghosts are virtual, in the human world, we have lost our heads, and when we came to the ghost world, our heads are naturally still there." ”
Wei Huashi pinched his neck again and said, "Ghost realm? I've recited the Sutra of Response, isn't it time to enter the Supreme Heavenly Realm and the Vacuum Hometown? ”
Dai Peng said: "You ask me, I ask who to go?" I heard that this is the ghost world, and the others have been detained by Niu Tou Ma Mian, so it should be almost our turn. ”
