Chapter 766: Arriving in Jicheng

"Why don't you report it to the top?" Zhao Kuo's eyes were cold, and he couldn't wait to pinch the Hengshan County Guard in front of him to death. If Xu Lin is just corrupt, he is illegally raising funds in the name of the government, destroying the credibility of the entire imperial court, and he is digging the roots of Zhao State.

Zhao Kuo didn't expect that the credit that he had worked hard and spent several years to establish for the imperial court would be used in such a way.

If one day, the people no longer believe in the court, no matter what orders the court gives, the people will no longer obey them, and even disgust and oppose them from the bottom of their hearts.

Will Zhao still exist?

In comparison, even corruption is nothing!

"Xu Xianling is the nephew of Tingwei, and the ministers don't dare." Chang Kai knelt on the ground and said bitterly, although he held the local power and put it in the entire Zhao State, it was nothing compared to Xu Li, who served as the court captain.

And unlike ordinary ministers, Xu Li is a person who has followed Zhao Kuo's father, and he is the descendant of the lineage, even Zhao Kuo will call him uncle in private.

How dare Chang Kai impeach Xu Li's nephew for such a trivial matter, and even if he writes about impeachment, it may not be possible to go to Zhao Kuo's case, and if he offends Xu Li at that time, the consequences are not something that he, a small county guard, can bear.

In addition, Xu Lin promised him that as long as he turned a blind eye, he could not only share his benefits, but also recommend him to his uncle as an official in the court in the future.

With risks on one side and benefits on the other, it's not surprising that the choice is always open.

After all, not everyone has the courage to gamble on their future.

"In addition to Kucheng County, can there be such things happening in other counties in Hengshan County?" Zhao Kuo asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not happening in other counties." Chang Kai hurriedly said.

"There are people in the court under the order of Xu County, it is normal that you don't dare to offend, and the widow can understand it." Zhao Kuo said.

"Thank you, thank you, King." Chang Kai kowtowed vigorously and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"However, as a county guard, I am so afraid of power, so there is no need to be an official in my Zhao country. The widow reads that you have a good reputation, and you will be admitted to the middle school in all three years of assessment, so submit your resignation yourself." Zhao Kuo waved his hand.

"Minister...... Thank you, the King." Chang Kai was stunned, the whole person was paralyzed on the ground, he had studied hard for decades, and he had not been able to get the opportunity to display his talents, and finally waited for Zhao Guo to recruit talents, and rose from the county order to the county guard step by step, conscientious, not daring to be the slightest sloppy, just to be able to display the ambition in his heart.

Now it's all over......

But what can he say?

Is it wronged?

No matter what the reason for such a problem arises under the rule, as a magistrate, he cannot be called unjust.

"Where are the county captains and county captains?" Zhao Kuo's eyes slowly swept over everyone's heads.

"Greetings to the king." Two officers crawled out of the crowd.

"The same goes for both of you, submit your resignations together." Zhao Kuo said mercilessly, he gave the officials of Zhao State the best treatment in the world, not to let them do nothing to enjoy happiness.

With rights comes responsibility.

Is it a sentence that someone in the court on the other side does not dare to offend and can be explained?

If it weren't for the fact that they weren't directly involved in the matter, it wouldn't have been as simple as asking them to submit their resignations.

Of course, the specific outcome of the matter depends on the final investigation, and it is only one side of the county guard's words now.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The county lieutenant and the county lieutenant didn't dare to say much, but only dared to lie on the ground and tremble.

Although Zhao Kuo is usually very kind, no matter who can talk to him, he will never put on a show, but no one will forget that Zhao Kuo's throne was killed step by step.

When he first ascended the throne, he dismissed hundreds of officials, including their families, affecting nearly 10,000 people.

"This matter continues to be investigated, and the widow wants to know if there is anyone else behind it." Zhao Kuo said to Liu Ping.

"King, Ting Wei is there......" Liu Ping looked at Zhao Kuo.

"Tell Captain Ting about this, and leave the rest alone." Zhao Kuo's face was cold,

Dare to dig up the foundation of Zhao Guo, let alone the nephew of Tingwei, even Tingwei is a capital crime, but Zhao Kuo believes that Xu Li is not involved in this matter.

The reason is very simple, if Xu Li is involved in this matter, it will not be a county.

Just one county, if the minister of the DPRK and China wants to end up, it is inevitable that he looks down on the minister of the DPRK and the central government too much.

When Liu Ping heard this, he immediately understood Zhao Kuo's determination, and immediately arranged for personnel to start the investigation, and at the same time interrogated Xu Lin.

Handan, Tingwei Mansion, a woman cried to find Xu Li.

"Big brother, you must save your nephew, my sister is just that single seedling, if there are three long and two short, my sister will not live." When Xu Li's sister Xu Shi saw Xu Li, she immediately knelt on the ground, hugged Xu Li's thigh and cried bitterly.

Xu Li let his sister hug his thigh and cry bitterly, his face did not change at all, until he couldn't cry at all, Xu Li pulled his sister up: "Is my brother-in-law at home?"

"At home, what are you looking for your brother-in-law?" Xu Shi looked at Xu Li and asked with a sob, a little puzzled in his heart. What matters now is how to save her son, what is the use of her husband's.

Unlike most families, her husband is a son-in-law, commonly known as the inverted door, with a low status and has always been looked down upon.

In fact, Xu's husband really has no ability, but if he has the ability, he can't be a son-in-law, and the status of the son-in-law is second only to a slave in these years.

In addition, the Xu family is relatively strong, so the Xu family has always been in charge of family affairs.

Fortunately, there is no saying that women can't show their heads in these years.

"Tomorrow I'll take you to the Imperial Doctor to see your body, and try to have another one." Xu Li said slowly, if Zhao Kuo hadn't specifically told him about it, then Xu Lin would still be saved.

Zhao Kuo was afraid that he would be difficult to do, so he saved Xu Lin alone.

But Zhao Kuo specifically informed him of this matter, and the meaning was very clear: get ready.

Of course, this is still Zhao Kuo's old feelings, which is more benevolent.

If Zhao Kuo didn't miss the old feelings, he would call him directly, hand over the matter to him, and force his uncle to kill his nephew.

Therefore, Xu Li knows very well that his nephew is no longer saved, and the difference is only when to ask for beheading.

Instead of wasting your efforts, let's find a way to have a second child.

His brother-in-law and sister have been married for so long and have only one child, there must be a problem, looking for a royal doctor to recuperate, although they are a little older, there is still a lot of hope.

The medical skills of those old men in the palace are still reliable.

"You...... What do you mean?" Xu was stunned, slumped on the ground, and was at a loss.

"The king has made a decision, and no one can change it. And I read the course of the case, Xu Lin can say that he deserves it, and I can't help him." Xu Li shook his head, Zhao Kuo didn't let him kill his nephew personally, he was already very grateful.

……

A few days later, Liu Ping reported to Zhao Kuo that there were indeed people in the DPRK and China who helped Xu Lin cover up the matter, but they were all petty officials and could not be put on the stage, and there were no real members of the DPRK and China involved in this matter.

Xu Lin also confessed all, and the matter was similar to what the Hengshan County Guard said, but there were some more details, how he thought of it, how he fooled people, and how he tied up the entire county, including the officials in the county, to the boat.

"He's a fucking talent." Zhao Kuo couldn't help but say, if Xu Lin is placed in the next generation, he will be a living MLM master.

The people of the county who can fool themselves hand over most of the food, and they can't even eat enough, and they still believe that this is not something that ordinary people can do.

It's a pity that he has gone astray, and if it is used in the right path, he may not be able to glorify his ancestors in the future.

"Behead your family. In addition, inform the people of the whole county that they will go outside the city in three days to supervise and behead." Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said.

"No." Liu Ping said.

"Do you know how much grain and grass was raised from the people?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"The minister asked, Xu Lin doesn't have a list there, but each township has its own list of raisers." Liu Ping said.

"All the officials involved in this matter shall be beheaded and their homes shall be confiscated. Those who do not report the information shall be deprived

Titles and official titles. According to the list, return the money and food to the local people, and remind them not to believe such things." Zhao Kuo said.

He didn't know whether to rejoice in the court's credibility in the eyes of the people or be angry at their stupidity. Fortunately, this incident was discovered in time and did not cause a catastrophe.

The matter of Kucheng County soon spread to other places, and all the officials trembled, frantically checking and filling in the gaps to see if there was anything wrong.

Zhao Kuo continued to patrol north, and along the way, several more county commanders were deposed until Zhao Kuo arrived in Jicheng.

The officials of Jizhou breathed a sigh of relief, but the officials of Yandi began to get nervous, especially for those former officials of Yanguo, Zhao Kuo's reputation was more of a notoriety.

Jicheng has developed very well under the governance of Li Mu, there are many business trips to and fro, and the people are very good-looking, unlike the people in Kucheng County, who have vegetables on their faces, and they are not normal at first glance.

Li Mu also built a wharf outside the city to control the water, which can directly reach the Bohai Sea down the river and facilitate the transportation of goods.

"Not bad." Zhao Kuo solemnly patted Li Mu on the shoulder, a few years ago, Li Mu was just a fledgling general, but now he is already a feudal official who can sit on one side and allow for literature and martial arts.

"It's all thanks to the Great King Hongfu." Li Mu pointed to the endless farmland outside the city, as well as the past business travelers, and said with a smile, "Don't look at Yandi as if it is very prosperous on the surface, in fact, the only thing that can really be compared with Jizhou is Guangyang County with Jicheng as the center, and other places are still far behind. Except for Guangyang County and the Liaohe Plain, the rest of the Yandi area is almost all mountainous, which is difficult to develop and cannot be used for business travel. The Liaohe Plain has not been developed......

After Li Mu learned about Yan Land, he realized that Yan Country was known as the land of bitter cold, and it was not unreasonable for his strength to rank at the bottom of all countries. Although the area is several times that of South Korea, the arable land and population are not as large as those of South Korea, and the territory is either a mountain or a river, and there are no roads to connect them, so it is difficult to communicate with each other, and at the same time, there is also the incursion of foreign enemies.

But fortunately, the surrounding foreign enemies have been greatly injured now, and they will not pose any threat to Yandi in a short period of time.

"Although other places are bitter cold places, after my Zhao State destroys Donghu, these places will be an important passage connecting my Zhao State to the grassland." Zhao Kuo said with a smile.

"The king is ready to make a move on Donghu?" Li Mu looked at Zhao Kuo excitedly, he sat in Daijun back then, just to guard against Yanguo and Donghu, and now he is sitting in Yandi, or to guard against Donghu.

However, to his regret, Donghu has been very honest over the years and has not had any conflicts with Zhao State, on the contrary, the Ding Ling people who have risen recently have become more and more rampant, and some do not take Zhao Guo seriously.

"I have this idea, but I won't use too many troops, after all, the transportation of grain and grass on the grassland is really troublesome." Zhao Kuo said.

"Don't worry, the king, as long as the last general leads 10,000 Great Wall troops, no matter how many Hu people there are, the last general will let them go and never return." Li Mu said loudly.

"Great King, the last general and Wu Anjun have studied for several years, and finally came to the conclusion that if our Great Wall Army wants to restore its strength, the key point is still on the Hu people." Sima Shang leaned his face over and said nervously.

"And that kind of statement?" Zhao Kuo looked at Sima Shang.

"Your Majesty, what do you think is the purpose of the establishment of our Great Wall Army? Isn't it just to deal with the Hu people? In the past few years, the brothers have risked their lives to train, but no matter how they train, even if they destroy the Yan Kingdom and defeat the Army Soul Legion, there is no way to recover their strength. Therefore, the last general and Wu Anjun unanimously felt that the crux of the problem was Hu Ren. Our Great Wall Army has to fight the Hu people." Sima Shang said with great certainty.

Zhao Kuo looked at Li Mu, and Li Mu also nodded.

They weren't sure, but it was the only way they could think of, and if it didn't work, the only result for the Great Wall Army would be to abolish the establishment.

When the Hu people were pacified, the Zhao State would not need the Great Wall, not even the Great Wall, so where would the Great Wall guards come from.

Not to mention that it is still an army with no talent.

No country will keep a legion that doesn't even have talent for a long time!

But Li Mu is not reconciled, every Great Wall army is unwilling, this army has condensed the efforts of countless people from generation to generation, guarding

After decades of Zhao Kingdom, how could it disappear like this.

No matter what method is used, Li Mu will lead the Great Wall Army to restore its peak.

No country would disband a military soul legion!

"The widow is just coming to take a look this time, you also know about the famine in the Central Plains last year, so it is impossible to use troops this year, but there is always a chance for you to play." Zhao Kuo patted Sima Shang on the shoulder.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Sima Shang said happily.

"You can't just focus on Donghu, now there is not only one enemy in the north of my Zhao country, Ding Ling has always been ready to move, wanting to invade the grasslands of my Zhao country, but he is afraid to really tear his face. The widow is not a person who swallows his anger, since Ding Ling doesn't want to tear his face, this face will be torn by me, Zhao Guo." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.

In the afternoon, Zhao Kuo went to the barracks and rewarded all the soldiers of the Great Wall Army.

To tell the truth, Zhao Kuo admires the soldiers of the Great Wall Army very much, although they have no talent, but the effort they put in is much greater than that of any legion, and Zhao Feiqi can't compare.

Even if there has been no result, they still did not give up, but put in more effort just to break the shackles.
