Sansang County.

In the county seat, there is a mansion that is quite eye-catching—in terms of the size of the area and the spaciousness and height of the portal, even the city lord's mansion in Shansang County is slightly inferior.

On the door face of this mansion, there are two simple big characters: 'Guo Mansion'!

On the stone tablet on the side, there are densely engraved small characters. Although it has been severely eroded by the wind, the content can be vaguely recognizable - probably a certain ancestor of the Chu State, who commended a certain ancestor of the Guo clan for his loyalty and meritorious service to the country......

Guo Xiu hurriedly walked into the door of the mansion and went straight to Guo Huai, the patriarch of the Guo clan: "Father, something happened." ”

"The Marquis of Quyang sent someone to post a notice, saying that corruption should be investigated and officials should be eliminated."

"Who doesn't know that in the entire Huaishui North, there are the most officials from my Guo clan? This Quyang Hou's decree, according to the child's view, is aimed at my Guo family! ”

Guo Huai is not very old, he looks like he is about forty years old, with a national character face, sword eyebrows, and starry eyes, and an image of a positive character. Hearing Guo Xiu's story, he couldn't help frowning: "Don't panic, let's talk about it carefully." ”

Guo Xiu elaborated on the notice at the city gate and the commotion of the onlookers.

Guo Huai pondered for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that our lord is not a powerful person. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Do you remember the story of the original Ziping clan?"

"Naturally, I remember."

When Xiong Wuliang went to Ping'a County to inspect, he happened to meet Ziping's officials on the way to extort money from merchants, but they extorted Xiong Wuliang's head.

actually took out a repeater and drove it at Xiong Wuliang's car.

After that, the Ziping clan paid a heavy price, and the long-standing clan was demolished by Xiong Wuliang, and many people are still digging sand.

Guo Xiu suddenly said: "What does my father mean - this is the Marquis of Quyang's grudge, so he wants to attack our big clan?" ”

Guo Huaiho smiled, and there was no panic on his face: "I have long told the people below to pay attention to their hands and feet, don't go too far, but they just don't listen." ”

"The fiefdom of the three counties has developed rapidly, and there are countless merchants coming and going, how many benefits have they intercepted from it?"

"No wonder Xiong Liang couldn't hold it back."

"Now that Quyang Hou's 'fraud check order' has come out, it's good to scare them."

Guo Xiu hurriedly said: "But if the Marquis of Quyang makes a big move, all the officials of my family will be dismissed...... Won't the wings of my Guo clan be greatly damaged? ”

Guo Huai laughed twice, and said comfortingly: "The officials of my Guo clan account for forty percent of the county, if they are all dismissed, how should the government operate?" ”

"Although Xiong Wuliang's posture is quite big this time, in my opinion, it means that the thunder is loud and the rain is small."

"Most of the time it's just to scare and scare the officials at the bottom."

"Shouting the slogan of 'getting rid of the malpractice' is really nothing to be afraid of."

"Business as usual ......"

……

Quyang Hou Mansion.

Qu Yuan sat in front of Xiong Wuliang and was reporting on the progress after the implementation of the 'Cheating Order'.

As Qu Yuan expected, there were no farmers or merchants from other places who dared to report it.

There was jubilation everywhere, but there was no real progress.

Qu Yuan was also very troubled, and couldn't help complaining: "It's all because the life in the fiefdom is too good now, and the common people can live a little bit of exploitation, and even live well." ”

"If this had been placed a few years ago, there would have been that kind of poor people who were too poor to live to dare to expose corrupt officials and corrupt officials!"

"It has been nearly ten days since the 'cheating order' was issued, but there has been no sound."

"If you continue like this, won't you be laughed at by those big clans? It will also greatly damage the prestige of the lord in the fief! ”

When Qu Yuan said this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Things went beyond his expectations.

At the beginning, he also expected such a situation, but at that time, the lord said that he would solve the deeds and corroboration of corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

Now it seems that there is no breakthrough?

Even if the lord of his own family is indeed smart and has talents that ordinary people can't match, I'm afraid ...... It is also difficult to start an investigation.

Thinking of this, Qu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

Since ancient times, the precedents of successful reform of the law have all occurred in poor and destitute areas.

The reason is that the poorer the place, the more people think about it!

Everyone is so rich, who wants to accompany you to carry out reforms?

At present, the change of the fiefdom has suddenly suffered a setback, because the people are too rich, and there are no people who are exploited by corrupt officials and corrupt officials to survive...... That's why no one wants to take the lead in exposing the moths.

Damn it!

In this case, even if it is the reincarnation of Shang Ying, it has to feel tricky.

It is estimated that there is nothing to be done about the lord of his own family...... Qu Yuan let out a long sigh!

Xiong Wuliang couldn't help but feel funny when he watched Qu Yuan's expression change. He patted Qu Yuan on the shoulder, took out a rather thick booklet from his arms, and stuffed it into Qu Yuan's hand.

"What is this?" Qu Yuan was stunned.

"Just open it and see." Xiong Wuliang smiled treacherously.

Qu Yuan opened the pamphlet and immediately opened his mouth wide in shock!

This is a record of officials at all levels accepting bribes and blackmailing businessmen!

Quite well documented!

"This, this, this, this ......" Qu Yuan didn't know about the existence of Qing Yuwei, only knew that everything in front of him was beyond his cognition.

Xiong Wuliang pointed to the pamphlet and was filled with righteous indignation: "This group of bastards, in just ten days, they have found out that they are greedy for ink and ask for bribes as much as nearly five or six hundred gold!" ”

"It's all my money!"

"I'm!"

Qu Yuan looked at it, Xiong Wuliang's face was slightly pale, obviously he was really angry, not fake.

Xiong Wu's conscience is distressed! He's really in a hurry!

This is all the hard-earned money of labor and management.

Is it easy for me to make some money?

It took so much cost in the early stage to have the current prosperity.

pointed to earning the money back, and then expanding the army, forging armor, and leading the people of the whole fiefdom to overthrow the Qin State, and live a happy and well-off life from then on.

As a result, they were taken up and down by these damned officials, and they were exploited from it!

Angry, angry!

In just ten days, there were five or six hundred gold just to find out.

In an ordinary agricultural county, this is already equivalent to half a year's financial revenue!

This is still found out, and has it not been found out?

After the cheating order was issued, these officials may have reined in a little - what if it was confiscated before?

Scald!

Think about the labor and management fighting outside for more than half a year, and come back with nine deaths.

At home, you're just going to be at the hands of the passing merchants, aren't you?

How much money did you have to lose in the past six months?

Xiong Wuliang rolled his eyes, pinched his own person and didn't let go: "Qu Yuan, you're right!" ”

"These corrupt officials and corrupt officials have to be rectified!"

"Change! Be sure to keep changing! ”

"I want to centralize power!"

"Whoever fucks wants to use the money bag of labor and capital, he has to die for labor and capital!"

When Qu Yuan heard this, he almost cried with joy-

O heaven, O earth! What a blessing it is to have a lord who loves money as much as his life!
