There is no shortage of corrupt officials in any era, and even more so in the feudal period.

The common people could only endure exploitation by the landlords and the government. Although there are quite a few clean officials, corruption has always existed.

In particular, some prefectural orders and prefects in remote areas. Relying on his own power to act as a prestige in the local area, he oppressed the people's fat and anointing, and the common people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. The most powerful thing is that they not only exploit the common people, but in many cases they do not even let go of the silver for disaster relief, and after the exploitation is carried out, there is not much left in the hands of the common people, and many people are starved to death because of natural disasters and man-made disasters.

Seeing that the people drank hot porridge and ate steamed buns, their faces were full of happiness and satisfaction, Yu Wenyue said to herself: "When the body is cold, clothes can keep out the cold, but what can I do when the heart is cold?" ”

After Pingnan County was settled, he immediately wrote a letter and hurried to Kyoto, mainly with two contents, one was to explain the situation in Pingnan County here, and the other was to ask the emperor to immediately fill the vacancy in the county order.

After explaining, Yu Wenyue immediately went out of the city, this time he wanted to see this Zhizhou first, how Songzhou was governed into what it is today.

As soon as he entered Songjun, Yu Wenyue first visited through investigation, talked and looked at materials, but it was not convenient to disclose the specific departments and officials under investigation for the time being.

Yu Wenyue learned about the current situation of Songjun through some reporting channels, there is no impermeable wall in this world, if people don't know unless they have done nothing, it is inevitable for officials to protect each other, but it is inevitable that the wall will fall down and everyone will push it, Yu Wenyue's careful thoughts, peel off the cocoon, break them one by one, and finally collect a large number of evidence of corruption and perversion of the law.

The yamen of the state capital, Lord Ma of Songzhou, was gossiping with a group of local officials, and none of them were worried and afraid because they came to inspect the imperial history, just like one of the county guards with a high surname: "In the past, there have been Qin messengers to supervise, which one is not polite, go through the motions?" Don't be afraid, we have already done a good job. ”

"That's, that's it, he's a prince who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, what do you know? What can he do with us? We don't have to be so nervous. I wish you to speak confidently.

"However, I heard that Xue Fugui of Pingnan County has been beheaded on the spot because of this matter." Another county official said.

At this time, Master Ma, who was the leader, said unhurriedly: "Several, don't worry, even so, it is an example to kill chickens and monkeys, and you can only take a shrimp soldier and crab general to open the knife and deter it." After speaking, he also brushed his beard and secretly dreamed, and a few days ago he passed a letter with Lord Xue in Kyoto, and King Rui also pointed out that he had sent him two silver to raise soldiers, and when King Rui got up, he soared into the sky.

A few people were dreaming of spring and autumn in the front hall, but they didn't know that Yu Wenyue led a large number of people to surround the county government.

"Arrest people, except for Ma Zhizhou, those who resist will be killed." Yu Wenyue waved his hand, and the guards immediately rushed up.

The officials were dumbfounded, they have always been high-flying and domineering with Ma Zhizhou, and there were also Qin messengers in the past, but which one was not polite, and how could there be someone like Yu Wenyue who came up and shouted and killed.

One of the Huang County Commanders who ran out shouted: "This is Lord Ma's Mansion, you ......" Before he finished speaking, he was wiped on the neck by the guards beside Yu Wenyue.

The other masters of the government took their swords to resist, but after all, they were inferior to the personal soldiers brought by Yu Wenyue, and they were brave and good at fighting, and they were strangled after a few rounds.

Falling into the hands of Yu Wenyue, they finally realized that their position as a servant actually didn't even have a grade. Yu Wenyue may not dare to directly cut off Lord Zhizhou, who is a member of the second rank, but there is no problem at all in cutting them.

Revolt? Didn't you see that the masters invited by Zhizhou were all cleaned up? Isn't resisting just looking for death?

The officials quickly threw away the knives in their hands very sensitively, so they rushed up and tied the horses into a silkworm chrysalis with all hands and feet.

"This official is a second-class member, you can't treat this official like this, this official has to play the emperor." Ma Zhizhou was still yelling there.

Yu Wenyue looked at him condescendingly, and said: "This prince is the imperial envoy of his father's imperial seal to inspect the imperial history, and he has the right to cut first and then play. ”

"Even if you are inspecting the imperial history and the prince, why did you capture this official? I asked myself that the food and supplies for disaster relief had been distributed in place, and I don't know why Lord Yushi took me, so I have to let me understand a thing or two. Master Ma shouted in disbelief.

"Ma Da is in a high position, he doesn't want to serve the country, he actually colluded with these officials, and he was embarrassed, and now you have embezzled disaster relief money is an ironclad fact, this crime has to be punished, and your family property, you don't need to say that this prince will raid his house." Then he paused and said, "But if Master Ma wants to see his father, there is still a chance." After all, Master Ma is a second-grade member, even if the evidence is true, this prince can't cut you on the spot, and he always has to be escorted back to the capital by his father. ”

Ma Zhizhou suddenly stopped shouting, as long as he was not killed on the spot, he still had a chance, and Lord Rui would definitely save him, Ma Zhizhou thought with conviction.

The rest is to clean up the battlefield, and the matter of collecting evidence naturally does not need Yu Wenyue to take action in person.

The wooden boxes that had been turned out in the courtyard contained countless gold and silver treasures, agate pearls, and one of the boxes was full of account books, all evidence of the corruption of the officials.

Things went so smoothly, but Yu Wenyue did not have the slightest joy on her face, but was in a heavy mood.

Of course, there are still good officials in the entire Songzhou, and Liu Ce, the county guard of Beifu, was framed because he was upright and unwilling to go along with it. In addition, there is also Fu Dingtian County Guard of Guiping County.

Before Yu Wenyue came to Songjun, he met Fu Dingtian County Shou of Guiping County, who was the representative of a generation of Qing officials, not to mention the four walls of the family, even his own clothes were the clothes of the people, not only that, but he also recruited a lot of people to set up a porridge factory, the reason is obvious, many people starved to death in the surrounding counties, many homeless people moved with their families, passing by Guiping County, I heard that this person was a Qing official, and he also scattered his family wealth to build a porridge factory to feed a lot of people, so they no longer went south, stayed in Guiping County, and the number of displaced people increased by thousands at once, And the people also love him, and they are so grateful that they can hear the old people in the neighborhood say, "If our parents and officials are as honest as Fu Junshou, it is really a blessing for our Liuli country." ”

In front of the scene, the people knelt on the ground one by one, and they were suddenly shocked beyond measure.

Therefore, Yu Wenyue admired his honesty and integrity very much, and Yu Wenyue allocated one million taels of funds on behalf of the emperor for disaster relief and resettlement of displaced people. He also wrote a letter to inform his father of the incorruptibility of Fu County's guard of Guiping County and how he was loved by the people, and proposed that this person take on the responsibility of being the governor of Songzhou.

It is estimated that my father also received a letter from him at this time, and after learning that corrupt officials were corrupt and perverted the law, it is a gratifying thing to learn that there are still worthy of using Qing officials!

On the way back to Beijing, he escorted a group of prisoners, Zhizhou Mada, and the county guards of the three counties, and went to Kyoto in a mighty way......
