In the county of a large Zhao State, there are only four real officials, the county order, the county officer, the chief book and the county lieutenant, and the others are all officials.

It was also found out that Yan Bo, who had been an official in Lin'an for more than ten years, turned out to be a spy of the Great Xia Kingdom.

As for those little officials, they are all trembling now, for fear that the next person to deal with them will be themselves.

However, Qin Guan had no interest in dealing with them personally, that was Shen Yichen's matter, as a county order, Shen Yichen had the absolute right to appoint and dismiss these officials at will.

The matter was almost handled, only one night of rest, and the next day Qin Guan set off with the team, this time there were three more people in the team, that is, He Zhushu, Chen County Lieutenant and Yan Bo.

Last night, Qin Guan personally interrogated Yan Bo again, this guy gritted his teeth and didn't spit out, Qin Guan didn't torture him, he had those documents and letters in hand, and it was useless to deny Yan Bo in every way, but Qin Guan didn't plan to deal with this matter himself, he was going to hand it over to the imperial court.

With the food and money brought by Qin Guan, Shen Yichen was full of confidence, and the first thing he did was to help those victims.

Those big families in Lin'an haven't woken up from the shock yet, but they are not stupid, and they began to run to the county government in waves, meet Shen Yichen, donate money and food, and hope to have a good relationship with this tough county magistrate in the background.

After returning to Xiongzhou, he informed Xu Tongju of Yan Bo's matter, and Xu Tongju was also taken aback, and Tongju was responsible for soldiers and civilians, money valley, household registration, enlistment, prison lawsuits, grain transportation, water conservancy, tuntian, horse herding, defense, supervision, etc., speaking of which, he was responsible for the arrest of spies.

He never expected that in Xiongzhou, there would be a spy of the Great Xia Kingdom, who had been lurking for more than 20 years, and even mixed into the officialdom and became a county magistrate.

After Xu Qing read those secret letters, he was sure that this Yan Bo was definitely a leader-level spy, at least the person in charge of a state, so he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately wrote a report to the Hexi Provincial Government and the Imperial Court.

After Qin Guan handed over Yan Bo to Xu Qing, he didn't stay, he only rested for a day, and early the next morning, he took a manpower of about the same size as last time to kill Xing'an County.

"To govern is to govern. Etiquette, righteousness and shame, the four dimensions of the country, the four dimensions are not open, and the country will not be a country. If the ministers are incorruptible, shameless, corrupt, and misbehaving, and the state has no way to punish them, then the world will be in chaos, and the common people must be Li Zicheng. ”

This is a sentence that *** has said.

Although Qin Guan does not involve governing the country, the same is true of the principle of governing a state, since there is a preface of the great man, then use it, after dealing with the most difficult resettlement of the victims, the next step is naturally the rule of officials.

Thanks again to Song Ke, the king of Xiong'an County, he couldn't help but provide Qin Guan with a large amount of family wealth, as well as the most authentic assessment records of all officials in Xiongzhou, and bribery account books.

As soon as the prefect's team arrived in Xing'an County, they saw that the county magistrates, county officials, chief bookkeepers, county lieutenants, and officials of Xing'an County were all waiting outside the city, looking at Qin Guan one by one, many of them with trepidation.

Naturally, they heard about what was happening in Lin'an County.

As soon as the prefect arrived in Lin'an, he gave Lin'an officialdom a purge, and when he came to Xing'an today, can they not be afraid.

"I've seen the prefect."

As soon as Qin Guan got out of the car, Xing'an County Ling Ye Jing, County Cheng Lin Tong, Chief Bookkeeper Han Shang, and County Lieutenant Lai Feng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to say hello.

Qin Guan walked over and said with a smile to a few people: "I still remember that last month, when the official took office and settled in Xing'an County, Ye County Ling invited me to Xing'an, hehe, there was no time at that time, and now the affairs in the state are almost done, just make time to go around below." ”

Ye Jingxin said, it's good if you never come.

But he didn't dare to say this, and said with a smile: "It is a blessing for Xing'an to inspect the adults. ”

"How is the resettlement of the victims in Hung Yen?" Qin Guan asked casually.

Ye Jing hurriedly said: "Originally, there were more than 2,000 victims in Xing'an County, but now they have all been resettled, and the county government has collected donations and loans from wealthy households in Xing'an, collected more than 20,000 yuan, prepared food and money for the victims, and ordered the township to be responsible for resettlement, and now the resettlement of the victims in Xing'an has been completed." ”

Qin nodded from the point of view: "Don't wait or rely on, take the initiative to solve the problem, Ye Xianling has done a good job." ”

Being praised by Qin Guan, Ye Jinggang's nervous mood eased a little, and he also smiled.

Entering the city, Qin looked at Xing'an County and found that it was much more prosperous than Lin'an, after all, it was closer to Dayuan City, and the Liao army did not break through Xing'an County last time, so it did not cause much damage here.

When he came to the county office, Qin watched it, and slowly walked to the lobby and sat down, this action made the hearts of the officials of Xing'an County, who had just relaxed a little, feel tight.

"Ye Zhi County, Lai County Lieutenant, this official has a document in his hand......"

As soon as Qin Guan said these words, Lieutenant Lai, who was already very nervous standing below, instantly knelt on the ground with a grunt, and exclaimed sadly: "My lord, the lower officials are willing to surrender, I only hope that the adults can be lightly punished." ”

Qin Guan didn't say any more, but turned his head to look at Ye Jing, at this time, Ye Jing's face was also extremely ugly, and he looked at Qin Guan for two seconds, and finally lowered his head, and said: "The lower official knows his mistake, let the prefect fall." ”

Qin Guan didn't expect it to be so straightforward, it seemed that they had already heard about what happened in Lin'an County, and knew that they couldn't hide, so they simply admitted it directly. Qin Guan thought for a while and said, "Come on, take off Lai Feng's official uniform, ask for the guilt and hand it over to Xu Tong for punishment." ”

Turning his head to look at Ye Jing, he said: "You are also a Jinshi, you write a confession by yourself and hand it in, I will hand it over to the imperial court for processing, the official seal and official uniform, and seal it during this time." ”

Ye Jing bent down and bowed, thanking Qin Guan for saving face for him.

took off his official hat, held it in his hand, and walked to the back hall step by step, but his steps were so heavy.

Qin Guan glanced at the others again, many people in the hall lowered their heads and didn't dare to make a sound, Qin Guan said, "Lin Xiancheng." ”

A white-faced man in his thirties with a short beard stepped forward, bowed neither humbly nor arrogantly, and replied, "The lower official is here." ”

"Before Xinzhi County arrives, you will be in charge of the affairs of Xing'an County." Qin Guan commanded.

"Yes."

"I have a list here, and the names of other officials involved in corruption and perversion of the law are on it, and you are responsible for it."

Lin Tong was stunned for a moment, but then took over the list.

Qin Guan also stayed only one night in Xing'an County, and the next day he returned to Xiongzhou and discussed with Xu Qing in his room for a day, and a few days later, several officials in Xiongzhou were dealt with.

At this point, the officialdom of Xiongzhou was completely purged by Qin Guan.

Not to mention cleaning, at least the original moths were pulled out.

Through this incident, Qin Guan also completely mastered the officialdom of Xiongzhou.
