Chapter 26: The Shocking Change of Yan Zhou (14)

On the second day, at the Governor's Mansion, I sat in the position of Governor wearing the nine-clawed gold dragon and silver collar armor that my brother had sent me, and summoned all the officials of Yanbei Province. I stared at them, some of them with frightened faces, some with triumphant faces, some with dignified faces...... I looked at them a little and probably had a preliminary judgment in my mind. After that, I began to check their resumes in front of them, and the more I looked at them, the more heavy I became, why are there so many moles in Yanbei Province.

"Yan Zisi, who is it?" I asked.

"It's the last general. In the middle of the crowd, a small man with sharp eyes appeared.

"Push it down, cut it. I spoke.

"Who dare?" exclaimed Yan Zisi.

"Old General Yuwen, His Majesty the Emperor has granted me the right to act cheaply, you see......" I said.

"Come on, press into prison. Old General Yuwen said without hesitation.

And when the highly cultivated sergeants gathered around him were about to escort Yan Zisi down, Yan Zisi's tone contained a look of grievance, "Colleagues, have you seen it? I, Yan Zisi, have been guarding Yiyang Pass for the country for 800 years! I have been loyal and conscientious, but this newly arrived Heavenly Grant General wants to kill me for no reason! Colleagues, what is our loyalty in the eyes of the imperial court?"

The surrounding officials looked a little embarrassed when they heard Yan Zisi's words. It's just that none of them came to intercede for Yan Zisi, which made me feel a little puzzled.

I sneered and replied, "Yan Zisi, since you feel wronged, then let me tell you how you committed treason!"

"Treason, general, don't you want to spew blood, how can the last general be treasonous?" Yan Zisi still shouted.

"In the twenty-ninth year of the emperor's reign, you were introduced by Li Wenxi, the right prime minister of Shangshu, by a man of cloth clothes, and was directly promoted to the magistrate of Anmin County, Bairen County, Xinqing Prefecture, Xinzhou Province, Yanzhong North Province. At the time of your arrival, there were still 10,000 households in Anmin County, with a population of about 90,000. At that time, the livelihood of Anmin County was quite rich. However, since you took office, the people of Anmin County have begun to live in poverty, and what is even more terrible is that when Anmin County suffered a rare famine in a century, you, the magistrate of the county, even increased taxes, resulting in nearly 8,000 people starving to death in the county. As for you, you used all the looted fat and ointment to bribe your boss, the county guard of Bairen County, and you are outrageous in doing so. However, in order to get a greater promotion, you actually slaughtered 3,000 innocent mountain people in the name of suppressing bandits, and you used the heads of innocent people to tiptoe up your steps for promotion. In the past 800 years, you say, how many innocent people have you slaughtered? You say that you have been doing your duty in Yiyang Pass, but if my expectations are correct, you have actually been providing information about our army to Murong Yun, the king of Pingnan of the Youyan Empire, what kind of face do you have to say that you are loyal to the country in this hall?

"You...... How do you know?" Yan Zisi asked a little shocked, "No, you don't have evidence, you can't kill me, you can't kill me." ”

"Hahaha, evidence, Lingxi, give him the evidence. I sneered.

With a "bang", a human head was thrown in front of his eyes, and when Yan Zisi saw it, he immediately collapsed to the ground. That's right, this head is the informant he contacted with Murong Yun, the king of Pingnan of the Youyan Empire.

"Come on, push this guy down and cut it off. I ordered directly.

"Yes, sir. The advanced sergeants immediately pulled him down.

"Who is Yangyi?" I asked.

"Yes...... Be...... It's me. A shivering official walked out.

"You are the official envoy of Yuanping Mansion in Yanbei Province! In the 98th year of the first emperor Yongxing, since you were promoted to the official envoy of Yuanping Mansion, the official warehouse of Yuanping Mansion has not only been decreasing day by day, but even the tax of the entire Yuanping Mansion has increased by nearly 30 percent.

"I, I plead guilty. Yang Wei softened on the ground. Then he was dragged away.

Fang Jiansi. "I shouted another name.

"Heavenly Bestowal General, you are really clever!" I saw an ordinary-looking official say with a smile. I looked at him with the same smile on my face.

"Fang Jiansi, the general manager of Lingzhou in Yanbei Province, was promoted to such a high position in the ninety-ninth year of the first emperor's Jianyi. However, it is unbelievable that this great hero who repelled Youyan turned out to be the grandson of Fang Hua, the Duke of Xingguo of the Youyan Empire. I'm right!" I said slowly.

"That's right, I'm a spy of the Youyan Empire, but what I want to know is, who betrayed me?" he wondered.

"I'm sorry. I can't say yet. You'll see him soon, though. I said slowly.

"Then thank you to the Heavenly Bestowal General!" Fang Jiansi still smiled calmly before being dragged down.

In this way, one after another traitors, corrupt officials and corrupt officials were withdrawn and beheaded for public display. This lasted for seven days and seven nights.
