In front of everyone, Zhao Yu was dragged by two guards to the front of the guillotine, and then in front of the executioner, pressing his head under the guillotine, another tall executioner held the handle of the knife, pulled down sharply, and heard a click, Zhao Yu's heart-rending cry stopped abruptly, and the big head rolled from the front of the guillotine to the ground, and it was far away.

"Huh?" Seeing Zhao Yu's head cut off by the guillotine, the sound of inhalation at the scene rang out, and everyone's cold sweat flowed more, and many timid people were so frightened that they couldn't sit steadily, and their bodies shook from side to side.

After Zhao Yu was captured, Lin Haotian slowly turned back to his figure, his face was expressionless, and he said coldly: "Something like this, it's not a pity to die!" As he spoke, he looked at the people on the left and right, and said with a straight face: "Brothers, if you have difficulties and there is something missing in your family, just ask me, I am not a stingy person, I will definitely give it to you, but if you are corrupt and pervert the law, then the people will not scold you, but the court, even if I want to protect you, I can't protect you, do you brothers?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Your Excellency Chrysostom said that the lower officials and others will follow the teachings carefully, and they will definitely learn from them in the future!" Wang Qiang hurriedly bowed his hand and said.

Lin Haotian turned his head and looked at Wang Qiang, the look in his eyes became darker, he took a deep breath, tried to calm his mind, and asked, "Wang Qiang, are you...... Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Wang Qiang blinked, shook his head again, and said, "The lower officials don't understand what the lord means?"

Lin Haotian said: "I'm asking you, do you have anything else to say to me." ”

Wang Qiang's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, your lordship, the lower officials are loyal to your lordship, and they have no second thoughts......

"That's not what I want to hear...... Lin Haotian sighed in a low voice.

His voice was too low, and Wang Qiang sat farther away. I didn't hear what he said, but Peng Qian and Chu Lianyu, who were at Lin Haotian's side, heard it clearly, and the two of them were shocked, and secretly screamed badly!

Chu Lianyu was the first to sit still, he got up and looked at Wang Qiang. said: "Wang Qiang, you have also been the county head in Jiangxi for so long, it's time for Xian Yu to be able to get down, this time the lord gave such generous conditions, don't miss it!"

His hint was already obvious, and Wang Qiang understood it, but he deliberately pretended to be confused, and he smiled dryly: "Where did Lord Chu speak, his subordinates did a good job in Jiangxi." Every year, millions of stone of grain are paid to the imperial court......"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Haotian had already interrupted: "But you are secretly swallowing more and more grain every year! The account book of Jiangxi County's grain storage is just a superficial article, and there is a secret account in private.

"Big ...... My lord, this ...... Who is this slander......" Wang Qiang was full of surprise, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and stammered.

It's over! Wang Qiang is also finished! Chu Lianyu is beside him. The heart was already crumpled together, and the fist was clenched and loosened. Loosened and gripped, at this time he slapped him twice at the rush over, he had obviously reminded him, why did he have to covet the position of the head of the county?

"Slander, slander, is this handsome in your hearts so dull, ignorant and ignorant? How could Ben Shuai say that?"

Lin Haotian closed his eyes and shouted: "Zhang Hui, take out the secret account of Jiangxi's grain storage and hand it over to our Lord Wang for a look!"

"Yes, my lord!" Zhang Hui slowly pulled out a ledger from his cuff, then got up and walked over to Wang Qiang and handed it to him. At the same time, he said: "Lord Wang, this account book has been carefully checked by my Political Participation Hall, and it is confirmed to be true, please take a look!"

Wang Qiang took the account book with trembling hands, and after opening it, he only glanced at it and knew that it was true, it was indeed the secret account of Jiangxi Grain Reserve, but he had always hidden this secret account well, and even his father and mother didn't know where it was hidden, how could it fall into the hands of the Political Participation Hall?

"Lord Wang, what else do you have to say now?" Lin Haotian asked slowly, still with his eyes closed.

"My lord!" Chu Lianyu stood up, walked around the table quickly, knelt down in front of Lin Haotian, and said: "Wang Qiang is just confused for a while, my lord will look at Wang Qiang's past merits, spare him this time!"

As Chu Lianyu stood up to plead, Ding Feng, Jin Cheng, Mu Wu, Zhang Bufan and other generals and generals came out together and knelt on the ground to plead.

Wang Qiang is a veteran in the army, and he is the first person to follow Lin Haotian with them. At the beginning, when Lin Haotian was just the commander of Anlin County, he had already followed Lin Haotian to fight in the south and the north, and it was the most difficult period at that time.

Looking at the people kneeling in front of him, Lin Haotian lowered his head and was speechless for a long time.

When he came, he had already made up his mind, no matter who it was, as long as he was corrupt and did not take the initiative to abdicate, he would be severely punished, and now it was Wang Qiang's turn, his original determination was gone, and he really couldn't do it.

"This is not in the army, let alone in enemy territory, even if you make a big mistake, I can open the net. This is governing the country, the law is not strict, who will abide by the law in the future, once this precedent is opened, how will you let me punish others?"

Lin Haotian muttered, placing the wooden boxes under the table one after another on the table, he pulled off the lids of the wooden boxes one by one, grabbed a large handful of papers full of handwriting from them, and said: "Look! These incriminating evidences are too numerous to mention, and there are hundreds or thousands of officials involved, if Wang Qiang is spared today, then what will happen to these people? What will happen if there are people who are corrupt and pervert the law in the future?"

Looking at the wooden boxes in Lin Haotian's table case, everyone present was dumbfounded, and no one was sure whether their incriminating evidence was also among them.

At this time, Wang Qiang knelt on the ground with a plop, his eyes were red, tears fell, he kowtowed forward, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiaguan can follow the adult, it is the greatest blessing in Xiaguan's life, Xiaguan has already made an oath, and he is loyal to the adult in this life, this time, the Xiaguan made a big mistake, but it will never make it difficult for the adult!"

As he spoke, he stood up, looked around, and said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, please take me as an example!" As he spoke, he withdrew his hand and drew the sword at his waist. Across the front of the neck, he slashed down with all his might.

"Shhh

The cold light flashed, the blood light sprayed, and the scarlet blood formed a blood mist in the air, and Wang Qiang's body also fell straight down.

"Wang Qiang!" When Chu Lianyu and the others in front realized that it was not good and wanted to stop it. But it was too late.

Seeing Wang Qiang draw his sword and kill himself, Lin Haotian stood up suddenly, stared blankly at the corpse that fell to the ground for a long time, he slowly sat back again, and at the same time, tears came out of his eyes, and he whispered: "Why don't you refuse to beg for mercy, by the way, there has never been a person who is afraid of death among my brothers......"

Wang Qiang's self-slaughter by drawing his sword also shocked everyone present, and their faces were full of shock.

Lin Haotian took a deep breath. calmed down his emotions, and then, with red eyes, he gritted his teeth, and shouted: "Today, who among you can take the initiative to sue the old man and return to his hometown, the mistakes and crimes committed in the past can be written off by Ben Shuai." If someone is still coveting his official position, he is not to blame for the past. Then, no matter who it is, as long as there is evidence of guilt, Ben Shuai will be severely punished!" As he spoke, Lin Haotian knocked on the wooden box on the table.

"Your Excellency is as kind to your subordinates, since your Excellency has spoken today. The lower officials are willing to return to their hometowns and give way to virtuous people!" It was Xu Bai and Hou Yuan who spoke, and the two of them were full of sadness, and they both walked out and bowed to Lin Haotian.

Lin Haotian frowned secretly. He was under the impression that there was no incriminating evidence involving the two of them in the information gathered by Ming Ying.

But at this time, he can't keep the two, and now if he shows the slightest reluctance, he will be regarded by others as his attitude is not resolute, and he really wants him to make all the evidence public, I don't know how many former brothers he will kill!

He clenched his fist tightly under the table, and finally turned his heart sideways, and said in a condensed voice: "Accurate!"

"Xiaguan...... Thank you, your lord!" Xu Bai and Hou Yuan burst into tears with a trilling voice, choked up and said: "In the future, the lower officials will no longer be able to assist the lord, I hope the lord will take care of his body......"

This sentence made Lin Haotian's tears fall again, he lowered his head and said softly: "I know, you guys...... Take care too!"

Wang Qiang committed suicide, Xu Bai and Hou Yuan took the initiative to tell the old man to return to his hometown, they are all Lin Haotian's closest and most trustworthy people, when their lives are at stake, where do the other county heads and county captains dare to be greedy for the career in front of them, they left the table one after another, knelt down in front of Lin Haotian, and said in unison: "The lower officials are useless, I am willing to give way to the virtuous!"

Lin Haotian wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up, looked around at the people present, nodded, cheered up, and said loudly: "The brothers are willing to let the virtuous, Ben Shuai is very pleased, or that sentence, you are all Ben Shuai's brothers, if you have difficulties in the future, you can come to Ben Shuai for help, as long as Ben Shuai can help, he will never sit idly by." ”

After a pause, he turned his head sideways to Zhang Hui and said, "Xuan!"

Zhang Hui bowed down and said yes, and then, he pulled out a thick scroll from his cuffs, then cleared his throat, unfolded it, and sang loudly: "Jindi, Tianyuan County, the former county head Li Xian Rangxian, the post of county head is temporarily taken over by Ren Feng, the former county lieutenant Zhou Le Rangxian, the post of county lieutenant is temporarily taken over by Yu Dian; under Tianyuan County, the post of county leader of Anlin County is temporarily taken over by Shi Qing, the post of county lieutenant is temporarily taken over by Jia Peng, the post of county magistrate of Sanshui County is temporarily taken over by Jiang Xin, the post of county lieutenant is temporarily taken over by Tan Shuang, and the post of Chifeng County is ......."

He was the first to read out from Anlin County in Jindi, and after talking about the thirteen counties of Jindi, he began to read out the eighteen counties of Mudi, and then Chidi, the thirty-six counties of Jinguo, one hundred and fifty-five counties, and most of the officials were involved.

No one expected that Lin Haotian would set up a Hongmen banquet tonight, and he had premeditated the removal of these officials from their official positions, and even the candidates for replacement had already been found.

Not to mention that the local officials present were shocked when they heard it, even the big officials such as Peng Qian, Chu Lianyu, and Xiao Xuan were also shocked.

Replacing nearly 100 county heads and county lieutenants and more than 200 county heads and county lieutenants at once, this action is really too big, the most incredible thing, such a big thing, the adults have not announced it in the court, not to mention that they have not discussed it with the officials, and they have not even mentioned it.

Just reading out the will of this official appointment, Zhang Hui spent more than half an hour, and when he finished singing, a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his voice became hoarse, he handed the scroll to Lin Haotian, bowed down and said, "My lord!"

"En!" Lin Haotian responded, took the volume, didn't look at it, and directly handed it to Chu Lianyu. said: "Let's take a look, these new officials are all carefully selected from the Political Participation Hall and the Military Political Hall, let's see if there is anything wrong." ”

Chu Lianyu, Peng Qian and the others were shocked again, no wonder the adults did not discuss this matter in the court, it turned out that there was a conspiration behind the scenes of the Senzheng Hall and the Military and Political Hall. Thinking of this, everyone naturally looked at Zhang Hui, the new General Counselor of the Military and Political Hall, and Gu Yuan, the General Counselor of the Military and Political Hall.

These two. On weekdays, he is a low-key person who is not visible and does not dew, but he can't imagine that he can be so ruthless in doing things, and only the two of him can help the adults plan such a big thing.

The ministers looked at each other, and they couldn't tell what it was like.

In fact, for this matter, Lin Haotian's reuse of the Political Participation Hall and the Military Political Hall also has his purpose.

Peng Qian and Chu Lianyu are both old men, and the current local officials are their old subordinates and brothers, and if they discuss this matter with the two of them, they may leak the news, another point. Lin Haotian also doesn't trust the candidates recommended by the two of them now. The Participation Hall and the Military Administration Hall are different, both of which are independent institutions outside the court, and there is not much contact with officials of all sizes, and it is precisely because of this that they can have no worries about the selection of people, and will not be entrained in personal feelings, which is more fair and more objective.

This night. Lin Haotian can be said to have done an earth-shattering event, replacing so many local officials at once. It can be described as an unprecedented and unprecedented.

He himself was very satisfied with such a result, of course, Wang Qiang's suicide was an accident, which made him feel worried and sad. After the banquet was over, Lin Haotian did not go back to his bedroom, but went directly to the room. He knew that Chu Lianyu and Peng Qian would definitely come to see him later.

Not long after he entered the room, a person floated in from the outside, it was Roland.

Now, Roland has officially joined Mingying. Because of her special identity, she can enter and exit the General's Mansion freely, and even when she comes to see Lin Haotian, she doesn't need Shao Lin to report it, but he has to avoid it as much as possible.

"Subordinates, see your lord!" Roland walked up to Lin Haotian and bowed respectfully.

Seeing her, Lin Haotian suppressed his sadness and excitement, smiled, waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite, sit!"

"Thank you, sir!"

"You did a good job in Huaqiao this time, finding out the Zhao Yu's red sandalwood ancestral hall, making him unable to quibble in front of everyone, very good. ”

Lin Haotian praised: "In the future, you will assist Wang Yu in doing things, and Wang Yu also needs talents like you by his side." ”

Hearing this, Roland couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Thank you, my subordinates, for cultivating." ”

Originally, at the beginning, she was still very envious of Liu Zhang, who could go out with the army and make contributions, but since she joined Mingying, she finally realized how terrible and huge Mingying is.

Take tonight's incident as an example, the evidence of the crimes of officials everywhere is basically collected by Mingying's personnel, and it is interesting and honorable for Roland to work in such an unknown and large-scale secret agent agency, not to mention, listening to the meaning of adults, she can be on an equal footing with Wang Yu, which is equivalent to Mingying's deputy leader.

Lin Haotian looked at Luo Lan, who was excited, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Wang Yu's side is already preparing to start training the third batch of newcomers, you can also go with you, that is, you can learn more and understand Mingying, and you can also be more familiar with the brothers below, so that it will be more convenient to do things in the future." ”

"Yes, my lord! My subordinates will go to Lord Wang tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

As he was talking, with a knock on the door, Ah San walked in from outside, arched his hand and said, "My lord, Mr. Peng, Lord Chu, Lord Xiao and other ministers ask to see my lord!"

Sure enough, Lin Haotian was not surprised that they were coming, and nodded in response: "Let them all come in!"

"Yes, my lord!" San agreed, turned and walked out.

Roland said hurriedly: "My lord, do you want your subordinates to avoid it?"

Do you avoid bumping into others now? Lin Haotian looked at her twice, and said, "No, you can be your handsome new love for the time being!" Before speaking, before Roland could react, he grabbed her wrist first, took her back, and pulled her into his arms.

Seeing this, Luo Lanyu's white face turned red, but he didn't dare to resist. At this time, Peng Qian, Chu Lianyu, Xiao Xuan and other senior officials have also entered.

"Xiaguan and others see your lordship!"

After entering the house, they saw a beautiful strange woman sitting in Lin Haotian's arms, and everyone was stunned, but no one dared to ask more, and they all bowed their hands.

"Okay, everyone who should have come is here, do you think tonight's matter, Ben Shuai did not do it properly?" Lin Haotian asked with a smile while playing with Roland's hair.

"There's something wrong!" Xiao Xuan said bluntly: "Changing so many local officials at once is going to cause a big mess, and many of them are innocent ......"

"Even if only one person is guilty, you Lord Xiao will not escape the blame, don't forget, as the Imperial Historian, you are not only managing the treasury, you also have the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials, local corrupt officials are prevalent, what are you doing in the Imperial History Mansion? If you even have to personally verify these things, what else do you want you to do as the Imperial Historian?"

Xiao Xuan's face turned pale and he was silent.

Seeing this, Chu Lianyu answered: "My lord, Lord Xiao's words are not wrong, I am afraid that so many local officials will be replaced, and there will be a big mess in the place." (To be continued......)
