Due to the improper position of the Song Dynasty, the military generals were suppressed and the civil officials were restricted. The highest supervisor at the state level is the governor or prefect, and there will be a general judgment to check and balance. It is to play a supervisory role and prevent the abuse of power by the governor.

However, at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, traitorous officials were in power, and corrupt officials were rampant. Basically, there is a lot of corruption in the officialdom, and the eldest brother said that the second brother will eventually be the same as the light. Of course, there are also some new stubborn people who work against the governor of the state capital.

For example, Zong Ze is of this type. In just a few months after taking office, he did not contradict He Gang, and came to the notorious naval division station to supervise many times.

In the hall of the PCPD, Chao Gai and Zong Ze chatted about the tea in the cup, which is the best Baihao tea produced in the depths of the mountains on Fujian Road, from its harsh growing environment to the picking season, as well as the frying method......

Chao Gai was mostly talking, and Zong Ze even listened and asked, and was amazed.

There are topics for the old and the young, and you come and go. He Gang, the governor of Dengzhou, couldn't hold his breath, but when he came, he saw the officers and soldiers of the first battalion of the navy who were detained on the school ground, and also saw more than a hundred corpses, his face became more and more gloomy, he put down the teacup heavily, and snorted coldly.

"Governor Chao, as an official of Jeju, led the army across the border but did not record. He came from the sea again and clashed with the Dengzhou sailors for no reason. More than 300 people were wounded, more than 100 soldiers were killed, and Liu Mao's commander was killed. ”

The other party's aggressiveness made the smile on Chao Gai's face stiff, and he subconsciously looked at Hu Yanqing, and saw that the other party spread his hands vaguely, expressing helplessness, and understood that the dead ghost Liu Mao had a close relationship with this Zhizhou minister.

This He Xianggong wanted to occupy the move, but he did the opposite, muddying the waters.

Thinking of this, Chao Gai secretly didn't know what to do, looked at the other party coldly, and asked, "Explain?" I don't know how Chao wants to explain to adults? ”

"Why did he lead the army into the territory of Dengzhou for no reason, and why did he appear at sea? The conflict between your army and the Dengzhou Navy Division, shouldn't it be explained...... "The more He Gang spoke, the more confident he became, his head held high, and his voice became louder and louder. His face was full of justice and awe, and his eyes were full of persecution when he looked at Chao Gai.

It's a pity that before the words were finished, Han Shizhong, Ruan Xiaoqi and others took the case: "Damn, explain your grandma!" Don't you know what the hell is going on? If the dog official dares to reverse black and white, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will kill you? ”

Ruan Xiaoqi has a hot personality, and he rolled up his arms and sleeves to come up and beat people. Where did He Gang think that the other party would fight if he didn't agree? There was panic on his face, but he forced himself to calm down, pointing at Ruan Xiaoqi who came over and asking, "What do you want to do?"

"Hey, stand down!" Chao Gai waved his hand at the crowd, signaling not to be impulsive. Han Shizhong, Hu Sanniang and the others sat down, Ruan Xiaoqi stared at He Gang with round eyes, pointed at He Gang and scolded, and then reluctantly retreated.

He Gang was extremely angry, but he didn't say anything. Zong Ze was still sitting firmly on Mount Tai, drinking tea with a light smile on his face, as if he was ignoring this scene.

It's really old and strong! Chao Gai glanced at the corner of his eye, and sighed secretly. He took out the crumpled holy decree in his arms and threw it to He Gang: "Lord He, this is my explanation, do you still have the confidence to read it?" ”

"Ah, you want to be ...... Yes! He Gang thought it was a hidden weapon and was startled, and hurriedly took the holy decree, but when he opened it and looked at it, his body couldn't stop trembling, his voice stopped abruptly, and it was a strange scream.

He babbled one after another, and he looked like he had seen a ghost again. Zong Ze next to him frowned curiously, leaned over and poked his head, and was surprised when he recognized it as a holy decree, and his eyes widened after seeing the content on it.

The disbelief on the faces of the two is surprisingly consistent!

"You should be able to discern the truth of the decree, and the official does not need to elaborate too much. Hu Yan commanded the envoy and tired the whole story of this incident. Chao Gai smiled unabated, and unhurriedly took a sip of the teacup.

"Yes, sir!" Hu Yanqing Ang led the order. Immediately, they encountered a fleet on patrol on the sea, which was determined to be the flag of the Jeju government, but Liu Mao used a bed crossbow to attack the incident in detail.

There is no concealment, no exaggeration, and the words are clear and frightening. He Hezhou's face was pale, the weather was slightly cold in October, and sweat broke out on his forehead. Even the upright Zong Ze's face became ugly.

This general sentence, who has only been in office for a few months, has noticed the corruption of the Dengzhou bureaucracy. Especially the notorious reputation of the Dengzhou Sailor, wherever you go, you can hear the discussion and the people are secretive, so you know that there must be something greasy in it.

Hey, old man, your depreciation probably has something to do with this. Chao Gai saw the expression on Zong Ze's face, and sighed again and again when he thought of being demoted and retired.

"Take it, you!" Han Shizhong has now snatched the holy decree over. looked at this Dengzhou Zhizhou coldly, and said on his face that you were finished.

"Ouch, you ......" He Gang, who was already in a state of turmoil, was startled when his hand was empty, and looked at Han Shizhong in shock and anger but had nothing to say. A bad premonition welled up in my heart, and this time I kicked the iron plate.

Chao Gai put down the teacup heavily and looked at He Gang suspiciously: "This governor has been ordered to investigate the truth of the Liao State, does it have to be filed with the Dengzhou Government or get your approval before taking action?" On the way back, he was attacked by the Dengzhou Sailors, which almost led to the death of the chief manager and his wife. Dare to ask what is the intention of He Xianggong, is it because he has colluded with Liao? ”

He Gang was even more flustered when he heard this, but he forced himself to calm down. looked at Chao Gai with a sad and angry face: "Chao... Chief Chao, the encounter between the Dengzhou Navy Division and your army was an accident, and he didn't know anything about your army's entry. This matter was done by Liu Mao, who was commanded by the sailor, how could it be involved in this official? ”

"Yo, then why did you turn a rake upside down and turn black and white upside down. I came to ask you for an explanation, and you came to me in turn to ask for an explanation. No matter whether you have someone behind you or not, it's not good for me to do it, can you be guilty? ”

"Hmph, when this official first heard that the Dengzhou Naval Division had suffered heavy casualties, he was emotional, and it was understandable. As for the attack on the governor, I don't know at all, what is the crime? "It is not a waste for He Gang to be the governor of Dengzhou, and he has been an official for many years. After calming down, a well-founded rebuttal.

"He Xianggong, save it! Everyone is the same kind of person, who doesn't know whose bottom is it? Chao Gai saw that the other party was still dead and the duck's mouth was hard, so he slapped his hands a few times. Hu Sanniang walked out with a tray of documents and brochures.

Chao Gai laughed a few times, and said in He Gang's nervousness: "These are the facts of Liu Mao's crime compiled by this official, and how much money he gives you every time he finishes business, and you haven't wiped your butt clean." is still in front of Lao Tzu, as long as Lao Tzu thinks, these things will be stored in the emperor's imperial study in a few days, and there is no one behind you who is useless? ”

What he said was not false at all, the dead ghost Liu Mao had a habit of keeping accounts before his death, and how many orders he had made, how much money he had earned, and how much money he had spent were all recorded. Now it is listed one by one, and He Gang bears the brunt.

How did He Gang not know about this? Suddenly, his face was as white as a piece of paper, he was really scared at this moment, and Chao Gai couldn't keep his black gauze hat. got up and knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowing to Chao Gai and begging for mercy: "Chao... Lord Chao, Liu Mao's wolf ambition, you can't be gullible! ”

"Phew, that's it? What's that? Ruan Xiaoqi took a sip. Han Shizhong, Hu Sanniang and others, even Hu Yanqing was full of contempt.

Zong Ze's face was gloomy, and he got up to look at the evidence on the tray, but Chao Gai held his hand: "Hey, Zong Lao, it's best if you don't look at it." ”

Zong Ze's face changed for a while, looking at Chao Gai's sincere eyes, he was over sixty years old, he could understand the meaning inside, and it would cause trouble if he saw it, pretending not to know in order to protect himself, he shook his head and sighed bitterly after thinking about it, and then returned to his seat, picked up the teacup and drank the tea sullenly without looking up.

Chao Gai doesn't want to meddle in things, but hopes that the more corrupt officials there are, the better. In this way, he can quickly corrode the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty and conform to his strategic goals. Although it is a bit hypocritical, it has to be like this to do a big business.

So he wouldn't denounce He Gang, and his attitude became kind: "Ouch, He Zhizhou, get up!" The official is just here to ask for an explanation. Where have you ever thought about offending you and the people behind you? You come up aggressive. So I had to come up with something, and you and I were all the way. ”

"This ...... Thank you, sir! He Gang was a little dumbfounded, he couldn't understand what medicine was sold in the gourd of the Jeju governor, but listening to the other party's tone, he wouldn't trouble himself, and bluntly said that he was a corrupt official all the way. Immediately, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and I was glad that I was too reckless before. Although it is a pity that there is no business at sea, he is safe and sound.

Suspiciously, he sat down and only occupied half of his buttocks, and when he heard Chao Gai's words, he was suddenly shocked, and looked at him like a person in my generation. Even Zong Zeyan, who was drinking tea next door, seemed to shake a few times.

Because Chao Gai changed his expression, he picked up his official tone and said: "The attack on this official incident was made by Liu Mao and had nothing to do with the Dengzhou government. Over the years, Liu Mao has relied on his identity, lived up to the grace of the saint, and was lawless. Extortion and extortion, bullying and oppression of caravans, causing public resentment to boil. In mid-October, the Jeju army attacked with the intention of extortion. It was mistaken by our army for Somali pirates, so the two armies clashed, and Liu Mao and more than 100 soldiers were mistakenly killed, which was really helpless, and the officer expressed his deep helplessness and sorrow. ”

"That's right, it's Liu Mao's wolf ambition, he has been taught repeatedly, and he finally suffered the bitter fruit." He Gang applauded loudly when he heard these words, and his heart was settled. Shandong Jeju Chaogai is really experienced in officialdom, so it is no wonder that he is taken seriously.

Chao Gai noticed that the other party's mentality had changed, and continued to strike while the iron was hot: "He Zhizhou, the officers and men of the first battalion of the Dengzhou Navy Division only know how to make money, the military discipline is loose, the combat effectiveness is low, and they are defeated as soon as they meet, which is disappointing." It is recommended to strengthen training in order to ensure the safety of the people and guard against thieves. ”

"Yes, yes, the lower officials remember." He Gang is only the only one.

"That's good, only in this way can we live up to the holy trust to the coastal land." Chao Gai nodded with satisfaction, and pretended to bow his hand to the south.

Someone made this respectful posture, Hu Sanniang wanted to laugh but stopped abruptly. Several women hiding in the side hall covered their mouths, happy.

I think back then, someone saw the one in Bianliang City, but he wanted to do it!
