After a night and a half of walking, Wen Yiheng, Su Jiudong, Chu Lufeng and several accompanying guards arrived at the Quzhou County Government first.

Yang Quanhui, the official of Quzhou County, saw that the minister Chu Lu Feng had returned and returned, and even Wen Yiheng had also come, and he was shocked, wondering if these two people had discovered the plague and came to accountability.

But seeing that Wen Yiheng and the others did not have guards to follow, they only brought a strange woman and a few attendants, dressed lightly, not like they were coming to arrest people, Yang Quanhui temporarily breathed a sigh of relief and arranged for Wen Yiheng and his party to live in the backyard of the county government.

At dinnertime, Yang Quanhui was entertaining Wen Yiheng and Chu Lufeng for dinner, and a servant came to the outer hall of the county ya, and glanced at Yang Quanhui with strange eyes, only to report that Lord Chu's attendant general had arrested dozens of prisoners in the important case in Quzhou, and was now waiting outside the county office to wait for Lord Chu to pass on the news.

Yang Quanhui was very puzzled when he heard the words "Quzhou important case", how could he, as a Quzhou county official, not hear that there was an important case handled by Chu Lufeng in Quzhou.

"Call in the general and the prisoner." Wen Yiheng waved his way back from the government and smiled indifferently at Yang Quanhui: "Lord Yang, there are a large number of criminals in my important case, and I don't know how many prisoners you can put in the prison of the county government now?" ”

Yang Quanhui calculated with his palms and replied with a smile: "About... It's still okay to let another sixty or seventy prisoners go. A small cell can hold six or seven people. ”

"Very good, the number of criminals in my important case is really almost sixty, which is more than enough to be locked up in your prison." Wen Yiheng nodded contentedly.

Chu Lufeng looked around, and saw that there was no official guard in the backyard, and when they arrived outside the county government just now, there were only four officials on duty in front of the county yamen, so he smiled in his heart, and asked Yang Quanhui knowingly: "Lord Yang, your county government is empty, why don't you see how many people?" ”

"According to the imperial court system, there should be 70 people in the county government at the state and county level, including masters, head catchers, fast catchers, government officials, jailers, and small officials. But when I came in for a long time, I saw only four officials and you. What's going on? Did you give them a collective holiday? ”

"Lord Chu laughed, now is not the New Year's Day, and it is an important period of post-disaster reconstruction, where do the lower officials dare to let the poor person take a holiday at will......" Yang Quanhui's face was stunned, his panicked eyes were fleeting, and then he replied calmly.

"Disaster relief and reconstruction is a top priority, and the lower officials asked them to go to the lower-level prefectures and counties to help with disaster relief, so only a few of us remained in the county government."

The corners of Wen Yiheng's mouth pulled up a mocking smile, and he said with a little arrogance in a strange tone: "Really? Lord Yang was concerned about the disaster, and specially sent part of the manpower in the county government to help the disaster, and he was really a good official who loved the people like a son. ”

"Bring it in!"

Wen Yiheng waved his hand and asked the general who was waiting outside the door to escort the officer into the room. Yang Quanhui and the officer looked at each other's faces, the officer lowered his head in shame and didn't dare to look at it again, and Yang Quanhui's face was full of shock.

"Evergrande people, this... What's going on? You guys... How did you get him arrested? ”

The leading officer who was arrested by Wen Yiheng was a Jiupin inspector named Huyatou who served in the Quzhou County Ya Nei, and he had an armed force of nearly 100 people under his command on weekdays. These people are responsible for security patrols, hunting for thieves, and so on.

Wen Yiheng and Chu Lufeng previously said that Huyatou was a key criminal in the Quzhou case, and deliberately took him to the backyard to meet Yang Quanhui, but they were afraid that they already knew what Yang Quanhui did in Quzhou.

Wen Yiheng walked in front of Yang Quanhui, Wen Yiheng, who was a head taller than Yang Quanhui, bowed his head and looked down at Yang Quanhui condescendingly, his eyes full of sternness: "Why did you arrest him?" Isn't it clear in your mind? ”

Yang Quanhui didn't overturn his head and opened his gaze with a trembling mouth, and replied stiffly: "Next... The lower officials are dull, I really don't know, and I ask the Evergrande people to say it clearly. ”

"Do you really want me to say it? Then you will kneel down and listen to me. Wen Yiheng scolded Yang Quanhui loudly, Yang Quanhui was so frightened that his legs trembled, the two trembled, and quickly knelt on the ground.

"The plague, the lotus seed mountain, the cave, the burning of people...... Do you want to listen to me in more detail? Wen Yiheng put his hands behind his back and glared at Yang Quanhui coldly.

"Evergrande people! The lower official knew that he was wrong, and begged the Evergrande people to raise their noble hands and spare the lower officials! Yang Quanhui was so frightened that he trembled all over, kowtowed to Wen Yiheng and begged for mercy, and the cold sweat oozing from his back penetrated his underwear.

"Grab him and take him to the front hall, and we'll go to the front hall and talk while going up." Wen Yiheng asked the accompanying generals and guards to bring Yang Quanhui and Huyatou to the front hall of the county ya, and the officers and soldiers under Huyatou who were arrested last night were already kneeling in the front yard.

Seeing the officers and soldiers kneeling on the ground in the front yard, such a big battle, Yang Quanhui closed his eyes in frustration, tears squeezed out of his eyes, and his heart was relieved.

Yang Quanhui ordered the secret burning of innocent patients to death, and Wen Yiheng and Chu Lu knew about it, and now not only did he not protect his black gauze hat, but he might also lose his head.

Wen Yiheng was promoted to the front yard, and the officers and soldiers in the county government were all arrested, all of them knelt on the ground with their heads bowed. globe

Su Jiudong, who had never spoken out on the side, looked at Wen Yiheng sitting in the hall with a precarious position, and was very puzzled. If Yang Quanhui is to be tried, it should be tried by Chu Lufeng, the ironclad minister, in order to meet the status level, how could Chu Lufeng let Wen Yiheng, an attendant, go to court for trial?

Wen Yihengshengtang wanted to try Yang Quanhui, and the emphasis was on a speedy trial, and even Yang Quanhui's so-called defense refused to let him say, and directly displayed Yang Quanhui's crimes one by one, punished them together, and directly convicted them.

"On weekdays, the yamen of the river neglected to supervise the situation, so that the gap was loosened, and the outbreak of who was changed was intensified; In the aftermath of the floods, no search and rescue efforts were carried out in a timely manner, so that dozens of people are still missing......"

"Disaster relief is not effective, and the plague outbreak in Quzhou has caused the people to make a living; After the outbreak of the plague, the measures were inappropriate, and they chose to take the extreme path of burning the sick people...... Lord Yang, as a parent official in Quzhou, how did you 'love the people like a son'? ”

Wen Yiheng questioned Yang Quanhui, Yang Quanhui knelt down and lowered his head, and he didn't dare to breathe.

Wen Yiheng was shocked, and the case was decided on the spot, Yang Quanhui was punished for several crimes, dismissed from the post of Quzhou county official, and waited for the autumn queen to be beheaded, all family property was confiscated, and the elderly, female dependents, and young sons in the family were all exiled.

After Wen Yiheng announced the verdict, Yang Quanhui couldn't kneel anymore, and sat on the ground with a dead heart, crying bitterly as if no one was around.

"Yang Quanhui, do you have anything else to say?" Wen Yiheng didn't believe that Yang Quanhui was a mere seven-grade county official, and dared to rashly set an order to kill all the sick people, but he was afraid that there must be someone behind Yang Quanhui's instructions.

Yang Quanhui struggled in his heart, that is, he wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed helplessly, and said in despair: "Evergrande people Mingjian, ordering the burning of the patient, originally did not mean the intention of the lower officials, it was all a secret order from the top, and the lower pass had to be ...... from ah"

Wen Yiheng thought that Yang Quanhui would resist and refused to tell the mastermind behind the scenes, but he didn't think that before he used any punishment, Yang Quanhui was willing to confess to the mastermind behind the scenes, but saved time for Wen Yiheng and Chu Lufeng.

Yang Quanhui was finally released, and confessed to the officials behind him in three or two sentences: "The lower official concealed the plague illness and ordered the patient to be burned secretly... All of this was done by the prefect of Zhejiang and the lord of Zhizhou. The lower officials are just a minor official, how dare they disobey the orders of the prefect and the governor......"

After more than three months of flooding and flood control in Quzhou, the imperial court issued several orders urging Zhejiang officials to quickly deal with the matter, so as to block the mouths of the people of the world.

The prefect of Zhejiang, Zhizhou, was eager to ask Yang Quanhui to conceal the plague disease, but it was just to quickly deal with the floods and disasters in order to cope with the urgent urging of the imperial court.

When Wen Yiheng and Chu Lufeng heard that the command behind them was actually the prefect of Zhejiang, their eyes lit up.

It's like someone who is thirsty and someone sends tea, and someone who wants to fall asleep and someone sends a pillow, Wen Yiheng and Chu Lufeng collected the evidence of the prefect and the governor in the early stage, and they are suffering from the fact that they have no name to arrest the corrupt officials in Zhejiang, and now Yang Quanhui took the initiative to hand the name to Wen Yiheng, and the two were naturally overjoyed.

Wen Yiheng and Chu Lufeng turned Yang Quanhui into a tainted witness, and temporarily put Yang Quanhui in the Quzhou County Yada Prison.

During the day, Wen Yiheng accompanied Su Jiudong to visit various places affected by the disaster, understand the local conditions, and carefully prepare antidote to the plague.

After Chu Lufeng collected and sorted out the evidence of the correspondence between the prefect of Zhejiang and Yang Quanhui in Quzhou, he secretly took Yang Quanhui to Yangzhou.

Wen Yiheng asked Chu Lufeng to fight quickly. After Chu Lufeng arrived in Hangzhou, he acted quickly, and took advantage of the situation to use the crankcase Yang Quanhui to confess the instructions of the prefect and the governor of Zhejiang as the name of the teacher, and arrested the prefect, the governor and other relevant officials together.

After the relevant officials were arrested and brought to justice, Chu Lufeng made persistent efforts and ordered a search of the homes of the officials involved, not only found evidence of letters from the two who instructed Yang Quanhui to conceal the report and secretly burn people, but also "accidentally gained" evidence that several people had taken bribes and sold official positions with several court officials.

In fact, the criminal evidence of embezzlement and bribery and selling official positions is the criminal evidence collected by Wen Yiheng and Chu Lufeng before, and it is just taking this opportunity to break out at this time, so it will not arouse the suspicion of today's saints and court officials.

Wen Yiheng rushed all the process and incriminating evidence to the imperial court. This matter implicated several members of the imperial court, and even the emperor Yan Wei was among them.

Today, the saint remembered the old relationship with Yan Wei, and only let Yan Wei return to the field, and the other officials involved in this matter were not so happy, not only dismissed from their official positions, confiscated their homes, and exiled officials and their families together, while the local petty officials had to be beheaded together.

Wen Yiheng, Chu Lufeng and Su Jiudong gained a lot from this trip, not only controlling the plague disaster in Quzhou and other places, stopping the evil act of burning the sick, but also overthrowing the Zhejiang prefect and Zhizhou, which belonged to the power of Yan Wei's team, which greatly damaged the queen's vitality.

The two forces that once leaned towards the queen have returned to a state of mutual restraint.

Wen Yiheng joked that "thanks to" Chu Lufeng's unfortunate illness, the victims of the Quzhou disaster were fortunate to be saved, and the officialdom was also re-cleaned.
